Chapter 39

Killing Band’s planner Manager Kim Minsang recalled that day’s meeting.

Lived lived first time seeing such a crazy guy.

Was it Cha Seoha.

Just high school student topic bold to the extreme.

At first thought really weird kid but the more conversing the more cheerful and aggressive aspects stood out.

A guy who knows how to run without hesitation toward the goal.

Kim Minsang also had such an era.

The period striving day and night to plan and produce broadcast.

Ran without hesitation for his success.

In the end failed getting a job at a proper broadcasting station and alone, occasionally doing web variety planning with colleagues then got a job at this company.

Wanted to make music variety.

Even now that dream unchanged.

Wanted to make such a program full of his romance but reality wasn’t easy.

Knew but even YouTube content the autonomy of program planning wasn’t guaranteed more than his thought.

Rather thought happy when doing alone even if earning less money.

Now if achievements don’t come out like this future wasn’t guaranteed.

Then that day met Cha Seoha.

The guy gave me teaching.

To achieve the goal, to achieve the dream process is needed.

Even if eating curses in that process.

Or, even if briefly giving up romance.

Learned that for the dream have to not choose means and methods.

Yeah, will earn money.

Will pull out views and receive interest.

Will willingly become a stained adult fully immersing in marketability pushing romance briefly back.

Using Oktap preparing filming in that studio now as a tool.

Studio located inside Dango Music building.

There Oktap’s members were tuning instruments ahead of imminent filming.

“Why suddenly changed?”

“Don’t know me too. The manager suddenly held the proposal and went up then said let’s do one more filming.”

“Who is that?”

“Don’t know me too, no interest.”

“Seems floating a bit these days?”

“Where kids?”

“Well?”

Related people were busy with filming preparation as instructed from above.

But no particular affection.

Because Killing Band already failed.

The end of this content was very well shown by the two episodes uploaded until now.

Compared to the previous two teams and Jo Hyeonwoo Band those high school student groups not particularly famous what would they do how much.

Like that Oktap was in the midst of preparing their own picture in the indifference of related people.

* * *

After finishing instrument tuning we waited for the signal in the studio’s side waiting room.

“Thinking carefully. Told to pick work and picked tremendous.”

“Well, somehow. Senior Jo Hyeonwoo recommended before.”

“Timing good. Just good program for us to come out?”

“By the way when did the meeting? Why didn’t tell us?”

“You guys were busy making songs. Didn’t want to disturb.”

Precisely together with such heart also hid because worried the guys would be disappointed if recruitment failed.

“By the way if this content floats hand sync controversy will reduce a bit?”

“Yeah, anyway seems so.”

“Will eat curses a lot too. Nabitsmo, Bulryang Onion next being us anyway.”

“Even thinking myself a funny picture.”

As the friends expected probably this broadcast appearance would bring the biggest ripple.

Not just appearing on band related YouTube but the previous order was two Korean roots bands.

Among teams active in the scene how many people would want to join next.

With only the reason of stealing that opportunity we will be placed on a fiercely burning grill.

...

Already fully excited.

“Alright, Oktap appearance preparation please!”

“Yes!”

“Alright, gather hands.”

“Two! Three!”

“With Oktap!!!”

* * *

Oktap’s members positioned in each place.

Standby signal rang the studio.

Cha Seoha did ment into the mic.

“Hello. We are Oktap. Invited as the third guest of Killing Band really honor, without long words will let you hear the first song.”

And Cha Seoha staring straight at the main camera.

“Cruise!!”

At the same time Kang Min’s crash rang twice and the song started.

Cruise that always reaction good when used as first song.

Heo Junseong’s intense guitar and now not only delicacy one tool, Lee Doyoung’s bass that also knows how to run together cut the current.

Kim Jihu’s synth became wind and added refreshment.

At Banwol Park too, at practice room too.

A song matched so much now want to stop a bit.

Those hundreds of practices boring to the extreme created perfect harmony between members.

“What.”

“Do tremendously well?”

The production team indifferent until right before starts being surprised one by two.

Good-looking face is known just looking.

Because watched music broadcast and Star Observation Cam also knew stage manners quite good.

But this...

“Live feel tremendous.”

Directly containing in the eyes couldn’t compare to mere video.

“Senior, this picture will come out a bit?”

“Yeah, everyone does too well. Especially that singer tremendously skilled. Pull zoom more.”

“Yes, understood.”

There was taste in filming.

The guys doing instruments weren’t particularly conscious of the camera.

Just concentrating on each given work.

That passion was well conveyed to the viewer beyond the angle.

And, as expected the main was that vocal.

Seems like a pro singer active over 10 years.

Said high school student on earth how much practice would have done.

And the expressions and body movements of other guys playing together with that vocal uplifted the viewers.

The emotion that this ensemble is too fun was fully lingering.

Matching eyes and smiling pleasantly.

Or intoxicated with the joy when unpromised body movements happened to match.

No matter how much ensemble there is something that doesn’t work.

Even if simple practice amount many if each other’s sincerity doesn’t communicate ensemble becomes awkward.

How on earth was those kids’ perfect harmony made.

The production team recalling remoteness to the degree unfathomable and falling into awe.

We Cruise, We Cruise tonight!

Crossing the endless sky Fly

We Cruise, We Cruise tonight!

Don’t stop, freely Drive

The repeating phrases in the chorus other members followed and sang together.

The moment group singing part that would be directed in a performance hall was naturally associated.

Killing Band was a method proceeding only with filming without audience.

Still Oktap engaged as if here is a large-scale performance hall.

The filming team too, lighting team too, sound team sitting at the console all were overwhelmed by Oktap’s excellent performance and looked at them but that happiness didn’t last long.

“What if picture good? No inflow.”

“Ah, too regrettable. This really seems like legend episode will come out.”

“Who watches band content?”

Even at the time this content was first planned everyone united and tried to revive one culture.

But seeing the two episodes’ results much lower than expected already all energy drained state.

“This episode really regrettable.”

Like that Oktap who finished the stage next called out <​Rendez-vous> and <​Your Time>.

And Oktap continuing ment time briefly.

“Wow, too fun. Kids!”

Cha Seoha who sang three songs in a row shouted into the mic.

“Surely you guys hard!?”

“No!!”

“Not at all!”

“Let’s go right away!”

“Let’s go!!!”

Oktap’s other members shouted in voices absolutely not falling behind that.

“Good, excellent.”

Cha Seoha held the mic stand and continued ment.

“Now the songs we prepared five left... Uh, hey, what to do?”

Cha Seoha asked Heo Junseong standing wearing guitar beside.

“We don’t have more songs?”

“Right, we now no more songs what to do?”

Oktap with troubled expressions.

Kang Min sitting behind expressed despair and even dropped the drum stick.

Lee Doyoung tore his hair saying then what do we do now.

“Ah, ah, right what to do good.”

Everyone natural while Kim Jihu also did his own acting but quite awkward.

“Can’t be helped. Let’s go with album pre-release medley!”

At Cha Seoha’s shout all instruments simultaneously rang the studio and Cha Seoha started containing shouting into the mic like a crazy person.

* * *

“Worked hard!”

“Worked hard! Thank you!”

“Thank you!”

Killing Band filming ended.

Oktap exchanged greetings with the production team and organized the seats.

Even when first hearing that Cha Seoha guy’s proposal I intended to utilize only topicality.

Knew the degree of looks decent and performance quite well.

To me these guys’ main use was public opinion gathering.

CPR the Killing Band that couldn’t even start properly and would die.

But this isn’t the level ending at CPR degree.

If only inflow well will become a video remaining long in our channel history.

Even not edited yet could know that degree.

“Um, manager!”

“Ah, Seoha, worked hard.”

“Yes, worked hard a lot. Not particularly but trying to make one proposal.”

“Proposal?”

This guy’s proposal now scary while exciting.

“I looked through the channel videos. No preview?”

“Preview?”

“Yes, preview of who when will come out as next content. Seems good to promote in advance with channel post or SNS?”

“Ah, even so talking inside.”

Starting this Killing series not even 1 year yet.

This series started lightly didn’t know how long would maintain and filming and upload irregular so never uploaded preview posts in advance.

Recently as the relevant series quite gathered popularity became official regular content.

Words of uploading preview posts were also circulating internally.

“Please do from us. Honestly among people who encountered that preview post if there is a band scene fan wouldn’t they run and carry to the community that we came out here?”

Right words.

“These bastards who are they daring to come out on Killing Band following Nabitsmo and Bulryang Onion.”

The chest pounds.

“Will naturally be promoted.”

“Yeah, this isn’t greatly difficult so will upload.”

“Yes, thank you. Then will go. Today really worked hard a lot.”

“Yes, Seoha also enter carefully.”

Just high school student.

Knows does music a bit well and good-looking but anyway high school student.

Why does the feeling of conversing with a much older adult arise like this.

Cha Seoha heading toward the members.

His back view entering my field of view felt like some unexplainable large existence.
