Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Anyway, heard these days many calls come to Owner Jo Hyeonseop.

Contacts wanting to recruit us or contract as exclusive singer.

Contacts asking to appear on variety talk show.

All were proposals unnecessary to us.

“Owner. Trying to request something from senior Jo Hyeonwoo is contact possible?”

“Yeah, possible. Why? Write song together or something?”

“No, trying to go on broadcast.”

“Puhup!!”

Why surprised while even spraying coffee.

“Huh, broadcast? Not song?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, yeah what broadcast is it?”

“Killing Band YouTube band live stage content.”

“Killing Band? Is it trending?”

“No, miserable.”

“But why...?”

“Why?”

Owner Jo Hyeonseop looked at me with a dazed expression.

The moment the neighborhood high school student riffraff standing in front of the eyes is suddenly recognized as Oktap’s Cha Seoha.

“Ah, yeah. Going out to eat curses?”

“Yes, right.”

When did we become this close?

Knows just looking at eyes.

“Yeah, I’ll talk well to Hyeonwoo. Of course might not work well so don’t expect too much and wait.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Ended the seat with the cooperative owner’s conversation and came out of the studio.

Of course with this not everything is achieved.

Killing Band originally lowers the curtain in episode 3.

Because Jo Hyeonwoo Band also didn’t produce particular achievements.

That means, now we can’t go on Killing Band.

Not that contact came from the production side and the position of a high school band that just came out on broadcast once or twice requesting.

To achieve this need to have a showdown with the production side.

That episode 3 we have to film.

* * *

Dango Music headquarters’ rest area.

Killing Band’s producer Manager Kim Minsang’s expression was quite not good.

“Views miserable?”

“See, I said band doesn’t work?”

“Naturally thought would come out less than hip-hop but to this degree...”

A week passed since Killing Band episode 1 Nabitsmo’s episode was released.

Views: 41 thousand times.

Miserable level.

Ordinary Killing content series no matter how bad pull out 50 thousand to 100 thousand views on the first day of release.

Killing Band’s start that barely exceeded 40 thousand after a week passed was despairing.

Episode 2 Bulryang Onion episode with similar image to Nabitsmo was prepared.

Already finished filming and even editing.

Dango Music’s production team couldn’t not think it was content started for no reason.

Result-wise only the planner was dying.

Because episode 2 also seemed not to go well.

-Wow these songs are songs these people sang everyone too old more than thought

-Did Dango sense all fall what bringing old people and filming content

-No calling people from when who watches lolol

-Is it real all comments are ajeossis

The malicious comments attached to the relevant content were all this.

The rest were all good comments but the little interest of the older generation reminiscing the past was all.

Other than that all watched the video... No, the words of turning off while watching.

In the view of people who don’t know well Nabitsmo or Bulryang Onion both that taste that taste.

At least episode 3 planned with Jo Hyeonwoo Band is worth hanging hope.

Recently released album after a long time and came out on music broadcast so wouldn’t firepower be a bit?

But Jo Hyeonwoo Band’s new album reaction is also quite bad.

In this period when idols and hip-hop dominate the board Jo Hyeonwoo Band degree was achieving excellent achievements internally in the band scene.

But looking at the entire music market that is also quite not refreshing.

“Ha, failed. Have to write apology letter?”

“Hey, just discard. Let’s do other other. I said before let’s do Killing Dance?”

“Shall we...”

As expected band doesn’t work?

Quite serious.

Also dreamed a swollen dream of maybe causing band boom.

So also made a fuss.

After episode 3 Jo Hyeonwoo Band appears roughly made a plan of who to recruit.

Also sent contact in advance to a few teams.

Maruru Band with thick career in Hongdae indie scene, Han Yejeong, Midori Blues or Destruction or something.

Naturally thought the content would go well.

So sent recruitment contact in advance.

Thought core fans would run crazily and show firepower.

On earth why did I have such a complacent thought?

In this small scene where only core fans remain did I even hope for idol fandom level movement?

Like that while sighs deepened.

-Ziiing...

“Hello?”

-Hello PD. I’m Jo Hyeonwoo.

“Ah, yes. Doing well?”

-Yes, thanks to you doing well. Um, not particularly but contacted because of Killing Band matter perhaps having a meeting once how about.

“Meeting?”

-Perhaps do you know Oktap?

* * *

After appearing on music broadcast our Oktap earnestly started album work.

Songs were mainly made by me and the form of receiving the friends’ opinions and modifying was main.

Kim Jihu said wants to try making song so gave homework to do about one song himself.

Usually a guy blunt in all things but when writing song alone often smiling was good to see.

At first seemed doing alone but from some day stuck tightly with Kang Min and only talked music all day.

Quite curious what result the two guys will produce.

Like that while doing song work and Banwol Park busking the awaited contact came.

-Seoha contact came from Hyeonwoo the production team says let’s try meeting once

Senior Jo Hyeonwoo also at first hoped we don’t go there.

Clearly will eat curses and even if go no nutritional value.

Even presented a gloomy future that the production team won’t use.

Naturally explained we are going out to eat curses.

While steadily announcing the moves Oktap has walked until now.

In the end while sighing said will try conveying the talk.

But whether talked quite well even meeting was achieved.

Now I have to enter the main game and well pull out the main point.

* * *

Like that a few days later me and Owner Jo Hyeonseop headed to Dango Music headquarters in Yeoksam-dong.

Now just decided to become our manager?

Said can just take subway but now many people will recognize so drops off.

Still I’m not that degree.

When I was doing well for a long time in the previous life even going to the neighborhood mart had to wrap tightly.

Still people recognizing and asking for signature one or two...

Enough, what bringing up old stories.

“Probably might not work.”

Owner Jo Hyeonseop started elaborating worries instead of old stories.

“Why?”

Naturally I pretended to know nothing.

“Did you see episode 2 uploaded?”

“Yes, saw. Bulryang Onion people appeared?”

“Views are miserable. Like this will be hard to maintain.”

No matter a place handling art as main content the original purpose is not art but capital.

If money doesn’t become can’t present emotion is company.

“Hyeonwoo liked you guys so talked well there and even picked meeting but don’t expect too big.”

“I know. Still fine. We are going to pierce that.”

Looking at the owner and grinning the owner also made a fun expression.

Probably the owner also had experience overflowing with spirit in young days.

“Yeah, overflowing with spirit good. Let’s do well this time too.”

Somehow reaction is good.

Cooperative Owner Jo Hyeonseop to us is quite liked.

Like that ran for a long time and arrived at the promised place.

Dango Music’s headquarters never visited even in the past life had a strong feeling of ordinary company more than thought.

We who arrived at the meeting room exchanged greetings with one production team waiting in advance.

“Hello I’m Cha Seoha. In charge of vocal in Oktap.”

“I’m Jo Hyeonseop managing this friend.”

“Hello. Heard a lot about the two people. I’m Killing Band planner Manager Kim Minsang.”

This person called Manager Kim Minsang now knew as senior Jo Hyeonwoo recommended Oktap.

The first atmosphere wasn’t bad.

As Owner Jo Hyeonseop’s words senior Jo Hyeonwoo would have talked well about us.

But today’s meeting has high probability of flowing in a not good direction.

Ordinary if such a meeting the entire band members coming is right.

But the production side said however many come do as comfortable.

The production team who attended this meeting now was also only this Manager Kim Minseok alone without other employees.

Not seeing possibility from us.

Just a formal meeting proceeding with Jo Hyeonwoo’s recommendation.

Precisely thinking whoever comes this program can’t be saved.

Of course not only such circumstances are evidence.

Because I know the end of this program saying.

“Um, if saying conclusion first picked meeting with Jo Hyeonwoo’s recommendation but this is a temporary meeting.”

Kim Minseok calmly explained about this situation.

Result-wise the words this person does is we are temporary casting.

Currently uploaded two episodes’ views too low state and even episode 3’s views if not exceeding the branch point next episode production difficult point.

Internally already considering ending but didn’t convey even such words to us.

“Such a situation. Worries many.”

“People making programs are all like that what.”

Hearing these people’s circumstances the thought that can push a bit more actively arose.

“Anyway the words that episode 3 has to go well?”

“Right.”

“Then we’ll go on episode 3.”

“Yes?”

Quite a bold kid.

Heard Jo Hyeonwoo’s story and looked into about Oktap a bit but except stage no particular information.

Kind and quiet? Or arrogant high schooler?

Imagined many pictures but as expected close to the latter.

“Um, student. In a state already contracted can’t do that as please.”

“Um, YouTube channel is known as much different from TV programming. Contract-wise also only matters about filming and upload are specified.”

What? This guy, a guy who knows internal circumstances a bit?

As this guy’s words if this was a TV program episode change becomes many things to mind.

According to who the cast is programming and episode fixation, advertisement, deliberation notice etc many things necessarily have to keep.

But if YouTube switching that one is a thing solved with a few mouse clicks.

But to us all subsequent moves were hung on episode 3.

Because notice came down like that from the upper line.

Who appears in episode 3 is an important problem.

“Yeah, as the student said that’s not a difficult thing but as said earlier episode 3 is an important episode to us, anyway have to use a person with name value.”

“Weren’t the previous episodes all people with tremendous name value?”

Poking the painful place.

This bold guy gradually not liked.

The person who came together beside is said a person famous in the past.

Is this person relying on backing and showing off like this?

A while ago said first came out on music broadcast did catch celebrity disease?

These days doing some issue gathering is known but still not Jo Hyeonwoo Band degree.

Arrogant guy.

If only that person sitting beside wasn’t there would have said just go home around here.

“I’m also not requesting recklessly. If looking at this a bit thankful.”

Cha Seoha handed his smartphone.
