Chapter 32

At the words of wanting to do live on music broadcast PD Park Yunchan’s expression hardened.

“Ah... Seoha. That day live is impossible. Even with original personnel band live is a troublesome thing and with substitute personnel it doesn’t work.”

“Yes, so came early and we intend to prepare all.”

“Hey, stop around there.”

Heo Junseong sitting beside said while lightly hitting me with the elbow.

And this time PD Park Yunchan stepped forward.

“I know Seoha’s heart but live is anyway hard. Technically many limits.”

“I know. Even just organizing instrument cables would be a long time. Live sound, transmission sound matching would also be troublesome, and correction also has to be done separately. So I’ll do all that.”

“Seoha all?”

“Yes, there’s also a person who will help. Only one person though.”

“Person who will help?”

“Owner Jo Hyeonseop.”

“Jo Hyeonseop? Representative Jo Hyeonseop who made Uptown Boys?”

“Yes, right.”

“How do you know?”

“Just our neighborhood uncle.”

PD Park Yunchan deeply buried his back in the chair.

“If the representative helps...”

There seemed many words wanting to ask more but since the main point now wasn’t that PD Park Yunchan swallowing.

“PD. No.”

The assistant director tried to stop Park Yunchan.

“Wait a bit.”

PD Park Yunchan chewing thought together with silence.

“Honestly speaking live proceeding is good in picture. Even though strike proceeded there would also be the appearance of giving a good opportunity to ordinary person participants.”

As expected hanging a big person’s name helps in deals.

“But we also can’t unconditionally do. Post-correction will be taken by the broadcasting station side but before proceeding morning rehearsal cable organization please take by Oktap side.”

“Yes, just leave it!”

“However, if not completed until rehearsal start there is no live. That’s not a thing that works by insisting.”

“Yes, will definitely do it.”

“And natural talk but regarding equipment damage will hold responsibility.”

“Yes, well know.”

Like that even received the promise about live.

I looked at the friends with an expression of having done something.

Wondering what expression the guys would be.

Probably, the same bright as me...

No, somehow the expressions are sullen.

Hey, what on earth is the problem?

* * *

Like that finished the meeting and on the way home.

“Hey, can you go that recklessly when meeting with adults?”

“Yeah Seoha. Have to keep manners.”

Did I have no manners?

Didn’t seem that.

Thinking carefully the other party was too adult.

A high school student showing low posture in front of adults is a natural thing.

To me that naturalness was none.

But? Have to pick what is needed.

“Hey, you guys then going even to music broadcast will do hand sync?”

“No, result-wise good but if we touch equipment as we please and break what will you do?”

“Don’t worry won’t break.”

“Look at this guy’s recklessness a bit? How do you know?”

Music broadcast career alone is 8 years for me.

Worries are too many.

“We unconditionally have to do live. Eating curses and trying to pick fame is all to prove us. But if a band does hand sync or something what will they prove?”

The guys who were scolding me until a little while ago all closed their mouths.

“Music broadcast has a strong perception that only idols appear but to us it’s just stage nothing more nothing less. If a band goes up on stage and doesn’t do live why go?”

Guys starting to nod.

“If scared of breaking equipment and don’t want to do live say right now. I’ll go saying won’t go on music broadcast.”

“No, let’s do. Your words are all right.”

“Yeah, Owner Jo Hyeonseop also said will help.”

Lee Doyoung and Heo Junseong agreed.

“Yeah, moreover I also handle equipment well.”

“Fun. Yeah, let’s try once.”

Even received Kang Min and Kim Jihu’s agreement.

Now only things to really prepare remain.

If we appear on music broadcast how noisy will the band scene, no, this world become?

Recalling the curses and interest to fully receive excitement started blooming.

* * *

Interest toward Oktap on the surface seemed to be cooling.

That was so because Oktap wasn’t doing broadcast activities like other celebrities.

And media utilization enough to maintain popularity was also limited.

But the data was different.

81. Oktap – Rendez-vous

Oktap’s <​Rendez-vous> jumped to track ranking 81st.

Of course after charting in first some ranking rising is a natural phenomenon.

Even for late ranking the growth trend was good.

The surprising thing didn’t stop here.

61. Oktap – Cruise!!

Cruise that in the world too, on site too actually had much better reaction than <​Rendez-vous> charted in then rose at a scary speed.

About a month ago the performance stage uploaded to ‘Human Kim Juhee’ channel.

Even in cold weather the appearance of Oktap singing and playing doing best drew out the heart wanting to cheer from viewers.

That video’s views were currently well exceeding 400 thousand.

That influence also affected the ranking.

From the beginning of the year good news was full for Oktap.

-Cruise charted in?

-Crazy right? When did it jump to 61st?

-Honestly doable if it was summer would have jumped more?

-Isn’t it similar to Dice’s Rechain song? Plagiarism song...

└Are you @&$% if only genre same is it plagiarism?

└Why do such kids carry ears?

└Why? Ballad and hip-hop also just all plagiarism?

└Only genre same lol code progression and melody all different saying plagiarism idiot lol

-The busking performance seen on YouTube was a mess but was such a good song

└It was cold ㅠㅠ seemed pitiful saying mess...

└No so that much cold

-Almost sped while listening to this

└Not speeding with this lol

└Enduring this lolol

-Idol band get lost

└Not idol band

└What if right and what if a bit not why so scared and saying not tired of criticizing celebrities?

-Ah now when listening to original song keep thinking of the kids’ winter performance ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

└Ah heart tearing...ㅠㅠ

Between people cheering voices criticizing Oktap were also heard not rarely.

In the end they were also all appreciators.

Those conveying love, those sticking criticism also result-wise were looking at Oktap.

But that number is too few.

No matter how much thinking not satisfying so today we’ll make bigger interest.

“Uu, sleepy...”

The arrival time guided by the broadcasting station side was 7 but.

Because we had to prepare live decided to arrive at the broadcasting station by 5 at latest.

Ah, of course not among ourselves.

Together with Owner Jo Hyeonseop who came as manager cum, leader cum, manager cum, guardian.

“Sorry from early time.”

“No, sending you guys alone also my heart isn’t comfortable.”

Like our kids the owner was also blinking eyes.

Gradually things to repay the owner increase.

Of course later will definitely largely repay.

Because mental burden is a law that always piles faster than individual success.

Like that we packed instruments and rode the owner’s car and moved to the broadcasting station.

* * *

As aging morning sleep decreasing was fortunate if fortunate.

Transfused coffee and held the steering wheel.

Looking at the room mirror except Cha Seoha sitting in the passenger seat all fell asleep.

A distance that takes only about 20 minutes by car and seeing falling asleep as soon as riding everyone seems hard to move at early time.

Hearing the words of going on music broadcast volunteered to support these guys’ back.

The first time I set foot in this industry was 1993.

Now a bit far away but already the 25th year fixing gaze on the entertainment industry and living.

Until now seen countless geniuses.

They all achieved success starting from nonsense eccentricities.

And looking at Oktap felt like looking at the time right before such geniuses leap.

The reason I followed these guys today was simply wanting to see these guys’ activities from a close place.

But my favor is not free.

Someday wanted to use these guys somewhere.

Even if not necessarily utilization aspect good.

Just the degree of my name being embroidered on one page of these kids’ history also good.

Some existence necessarily needed for the completion of a genius.

That the genius can be remembered as one of my legacies is a sublime thing.

“You also attach eyes a bit.”

“No. Because conceiving live preparation in the head can’t sleep.”

Don’t know at all what the broadcasting station sound equipment is like but does that conceive.

A funny guy but thorough preparation is good.

“And sleep can sleep later during waiting time.”

“Um, yeah. Don’t overdo too much.”

Said leader but seems did quite a lot of information investigation.

* * *

Ran for a long time and arrived at the broadcasting station parking lot.

Packed instruments and came out we loitered in the middle of the parking lot.

“Where to go...”

The owner also whether broadcasting station after a long time briefly wandered.

I know the way should I lead.

“Here what. Alright, everyone follow.”

“Yes, understood!”

Like that we started walking toward the place the owner leads by feeling.

A little later faced one employee running from far recognizing us.

“Sorry. Today is my first work. Received the delivery of coming early late.”

“No. We came even earlier than planned.”

The guide staff met at the parking lot entrance just looking was clumsy so definitely substitute personnel certain.

Even this bottom replaced how big is the strike scale.

Like that received the employee’s guide and arrived at the 1st floor lobby.

“Access pass? Um, the person in charge hasn’t come.”

“Then shall we call the PD once?”

“Ah, wait a bit. There’s a temporary access pass here. Use this.”

“Thank you.”

Nothing flowed smoothly one thing.

Like that received the access pass and boarded the elevator.

“Uh... Um...”

The employee stopping while trying to press the floor button.

Fingers going back and forth between 3rd and 4th floor then pressed 3rd.

“Ah, sorry. Where was the waiting room assignment... If you get off please wait a bit?”

“Ah, yes. Fine. Do slowly.”

“Yes, because the situation is the situation what I took is too many.”

“Fine.”

So will the broadcast proceed smoothly I wonder.
