Chapter 38

Received the smartphone Cha Seoha handed.

On earth what making such an interesting expression.

“While turning to the side continuously you can see.”

What the guy handed was dozens of screenshots.

I slowly confirmed the relevant photos one by one.

-Kang Min really fucking traitor bastard coming out on music broadcast what is Oktap entering there

-Idol band whatever fuck from spinning selling-in viral fucking no corner liked at all

-Still isn’t the music good?

└Still people saying such words company beat capital in then would bring low quality song?

└Are you idiot if money many will buy good song? Buy fucking ugly song?

-On music broadcast also seems only singing live is instrument live right? Not hand sync?

└Is there a way we know? Kang Min whatever does well don’t know the rest would have done hand sync

└At that time broadcasting station strike so unconditional sync

└Ah real? Not live?

└Lolol band coming out on TV and hand sync lolol doing all kinds

-But music broadcast live feel good that not live?

└These days called live AR using what recorded during rehearsal or pre-recording as is on the main stage

└Right so lip sync pretending live is most

└Ah? Thanks thanks

-Until Star Observation Cam Moon Gayoung episode came out even if what if what if...

└Start of legend. Ah of course in bad meaning lol

The relevant screenshots were ones that captured public opinion about Oktap.

Of course other than that many contents hard to put in the mouth.

“Ah, for reference Kang Min mainly cursed there is our drummer’s name.”

“Yes, but why this...”

“Um, briefly the phone a bit...”

“Ah, yes.”

Cha Seoha took the phone back then a little later showed something else.

-[Star Observation Cam (Moon Gayoung)] episode Moon Gayoung VS Oktap one match with music real sword match who is the winner?

-[Special Guest Stage] Oktap–Rendez-vous #K-Countdown EP.531┃K-Net 180205 broadcast

This time two YouTube thumbnail screenshots.

“Do you see the views?”

“Views?”

The two videos’ views were each approaching 1 million, 710 thousand.

“Eot!”

“We are eating tremendous curses now. In the band scene completely became bad guys.”

“Yes. Seems so...”

“We’ll become the curse receiver. Dango side pulls out views and we ride the content. How about?”

Thought caught celebrity disease but this guy turned out to be a crazy guy who went crazy.

The elder who came together beside is smiling pleasantly.

Crazy people.

Cha Seoha finally handed the smartphone once more.

There was a screenshot capturing comments attached on YouTube.

There Oktap was receiving quite a lot of love.

Not just the degree of viewing Oktap well but nuance that core fans would show.

Clearly divided public opinion.

“As you saw we are eating curses in the band scene and receiving love from the general public. One side to curse, the other side clicks the video and listens to the song because curious about us.”

A feeling of being hit hard once on the back of the head.

“Honestly speaking want to receive more interest. Anyway these days I seem to have caught celebrity disease a bit but anyway interest a bit lacking.”

Really crazy guy. Who says such words at a meeting place.

No, what’s important now is not that but that crazy guy’s proposal is too sweet.

I submitted this plan because like band music.

Thought if evoking memories people would watch a lot but my misunderstanding.

Yeah, our Dango Music was not an artist group.

A business doing business.

No matter pushing music as main content if can’t earn money can’t maintain.

Put these guys on the grill and we earn money.

And I succeed this plan.

Just views coming out well is fine.

“How is the owner? Doesn’t it look good?”

“Yeah, seems fun.”

While I was briefly dazed in thought they mutter among themselves.

Somehow the thought that it would be fun arose.

If willingly becoming a shield for my personal success is there reason for me to refuse?

Of course have to persuade the upper line a bit but that’s a thing I have to handle.

“Good. But not a thing I alone decide have to receive okay from the upper line so please wait a few days.”

“Thank you for thinking positively.”

“Yes, will contact soon. Today up to here.”

Like that after sending the two people I immediately started newly writing the proposal.

* * *

“Owner today really only watched?”

“Road manager opening mouth arrogantly at meeting place is not.”

Aren’t there cases road manager intervenes?

Ah, this person large agency origin.

Then can think like that.

In the car returning home we shared this and that conversations.

“In the owner’s view how is it? Seems will work?”

“Seems will. That person’s eyes were eyes as if caught something.”

As expected businessman is different.

Such a thing was visible.

“In fact if you make a mistake was going to intervene a bit but did well.”

“No. Just spoke honestly.”

“Um, honestly?”

“Yes, why?”

The expression of the owner holding the steering wheel slightly hardened.

“Then are you really caught celebrity disease?”

“Ah, that was just words said!”

“Ah, right? Hahaha!”

Worries are mountain.

* * *

The reason I wanted to go on Killing Band was three.

One naturally for fame.

And second to prove the live skill not perfectly shown on music broadcast.

And the other is this.

“What, did you guys make this?”

“Yeah, how is it?”

“Wow...”

The song Kim Jihu was making from a while ago was much better than I thought.

Because simple recording with cheap mic in the practice room the sound quality was a mess but the intended was clearly conveyed.

“How did you make it?”

“Yeah, I caught the skeleton and Min helped a lot. The kids also played well.”

Kim Jihu had deep knowledge about piano from young.

Because a guy who mastered both classical piano and jazz piano.

To such a guy composition wasn’t difficult.

Kang Min had been in the band scene for a long time.

Moreover the time together with people said quite skill outstanding was long.

Added one spoon of know-how obtained there.

Heo Junseong said poured his greed into this song.

The guy’s intention would have been increasing his amount, looking cool alone etc but such superficial cool becoming the song’s good point is a fact.

And this is something heard later heard Lee Doyoung’s playing was excellent.

Expressed the bass line he will play delicately and heavily well.

Heard when recording not a single moment wrong section.

“When did you guys grow like this?”

“Same age right?”

“No, not that.”

This song still without title in my hearing was a song where youth is well felt same as <​Rendez-vous>.

But now accompanied by intensity.

If <​Rendez-vous> is a song reminiscing youth this song was a song as if the me of that era called youth running toward the future.

Not that the song’s quality is important.

That such emotion is felt listening to the music was a point to praise.

“Then what was this song’s intention?”

“In fact referenced Rendez-vous a lot. Pondered what keyword suits Oktap anyway seemed youth.”

“Um, was so. Youth...”

“But can’t make the same right? So removed a bit of Rendez-vous’s lingering and added intense and aggressive feel. Heo Junseong played a part. Excess removed with Lee Doyoung.”

My thought and the guy’s intention perfectly matched.

“Yes, listened very well.”

“...Seumnida?”

“The thought I did in my own way, and this... What to say. Composer’s intention. Um, very well, that is perfectly matching, such a song.”

“What did you say?”

“Yes, that is my words youth. Teenagers’ vibe well felt, that first impression approached much wilder than my expectation. But that not too much, very appropriate that... Riding some line well. Such, yes.”

“No, what are you saying on earth.”

“Kim Jihu.”

“What.”

“I’ll give pass.”

“What is this crazy guy saying really.”

* * *

The first reason trying to go on Killing Band was naturally to draw interest at the same time as appearance.

Another second reason to show our true skill in a place with better live environment than music broadcast.

And the last was wanting to pre-release the next our album included songs including the excellent our song Kim Jihu made.

No matter Oktap became a bit famous doing agency level promotion with our own power is still unreasonable.

Have to borrow the power of media.

On Star Observation Cam too, on music broadcast too what properly shown was all <​Rendez-vous>.

If continuously showing only the same song curses and interest will cut.

Timing another aggro is needed.

Well, of course because had to fill time of about 30 minutes on Killing Band also preparing songs.

Moreover the words that we are preparing album now somehow spread.

Owner Jang Deokcheol said seems because of himself sorry but we were nothing.

Rather well done.

In the band scene they were expecting our album would clearly be a mess.

They will clearly listen to our album.

Because have to listen and laugh to the fullest.

A bit of spoiler is fine right?

Of course, all this has to have contact come from Dango Music side saying let’s film episode 3.

Conveyed words well to the planner but don’t know how the upper line is thinking.

Have to hope that guy is a smart guy.

If that doesn’t go well we just release the album and done.

Any direction didn’t matter.

-Ziiing...

And at the call coming just in time I stopped the work.

“Hey, I’ll receive the phone a bit and come. Each think a bit how to write this latter part.”

“Okay.”

I tossed the song working on to the guys and came out of the practice room to receive the phone.

“Yes, owner.”

-Yeah Seoha, contact came.

“What did they say?”

-Says let’s film.

“As episode 3?”

-Yeah, as episode 3.

“Wow!”

-Worked hard a lot. I’ll send filming date and place by text.

“Yes, thank you. Owner also worked hard a lot.”

-Work hard what only driving. Anyway prepare songs well.

“Yes, will hang up.”

Have to go in quickly and boast to the kids.
