Chapter 41

The power of Oktap’s appearance preview post had better ripple than thought.

At first seemed no particular reaction.

People who encountered the relevant post started carrying the news here and there.

Comments started running on the post.

-What next is Oktap?? What what daaaaaebak!!!

-Flow a bit strange? Nabitsmo Bulryang Onion next Oktap? Tsk...

-Wow our kids finally broadcast comes out ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Wow recruitment crazy the previous two episodes views not coming out well then using super strong move

-If Oktap views guaranteed of course

-At the news Oktap coming out watched the previous two episodes too anticipated

-No why does idol come out in band content?

-Ha... Became fan after watching music broadcast bait comes out now

-But isn’t the agency doing work too badly? Why no bait? Star Cam tinkering and music broadcast and YouTube all

Killing Band’s planner Manager Kim Minsang opened the YouTube studio of the preview post uploaded to the community tab.

Views 89 thousand.

The graph was steadily rising from the beginning until now.

Especially from the 3rd day of upload the graph was rising steeply.

“Not even the main episode just preview post...”

The interesting fact was that external traffic proportion was overwhelming more than subscriber exposure.

Most early exposure paths were not ‘recommended feed’ but ‘search’.

This means not riding the so-called YouTube algorithm and entering but people directly searching and encountering the post.

Circumstances-wise means someone carried the news of Oktap’s appearance.

Oktap’s words of becoming curse receiver were being realized.

“Really working this...”

Still before the main episode comes out but Manager Kim Minsang somehow felt a strand of hope seeming visible.

This plan on the verge of death really trying to revive.

“Manager!”

“Yeah?”

“Um, a bit bad news.”

“What?”

At the youngest writer’s troubled expression Kim Minsang asked surprised.

“Not particular but a few indie band teams we sent recruitment calls last time heard Oktap appearance news and they won’t appear so let’s make recruitment as if none...”

“Ah, anyway all temporary? Tell them to do so.”

“Yes?”

The youngest writer surprised at Kim Minsang’s reaction.

“Um, Maruru Band also said won’t come out.”

“Regrettable but can’t be helped.”

“...?”

Maruru Band was a band Manager Kim Minsang personally really wanted to recruit.

Other than that many bands wanting to put names on his program.

And some among them declared appearance boycott.

The heart hurt but couldn’t be helped.

Dango Music, and himself affiliated inside before being a creator producing content was a businessman.

Oktap gave Kim Minsang teaching.

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

Even if oneself eats curses.

Or even if giving up romance in the middle process.

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

Like that giving up one by two and running the moment of being able to hold everything in hand will come.

The day Maruru Band or a bigger band first contacts wanting to participate in Killing Band will come.

“Originally band market is like that. The spirit of being at odds with media was their start.”

“Still wanted to recruit like that...”

“Those people cursing is also natural. Oktap who floated with media while having no career how hateful? They themselves rolled diligently for several years.”

Manager Kim Minsang who well knows their position.

In fact in his thought too the team close to roots was not Oktap.

But for this market to grow Oktap has to grow.

At this point the team with the biggest potential in the band market was Oktap.

Sorry to the friends but there was reward for coercively driving during vacation.

Welcoming the new semester gathering time reduced a lot because of school but now if only make two songs can release the album.

Moreover those two songs also somewhat outline caught.

Now only complete those two songs.

Of course me pushing the kids wasn’t the only reason progress became faster.

Songs made led by Kim Jihu who moved on his own were even three.

When working on songs I made the guys perfectly digested my instructions.

Sometimes abstract and vaguely explained but how so perfectly understood and played.

Not even 1 year since we were together but as expected something communicating.

Probably fate is this kind of thing.

It was a certain day when everything was flowing easily.

“Oh!”

Lunch time passed and during break time between afternoon classes.

Because of languid spring weather while attaching eyes lying on the desk sleep fled at the short exclamation of a same class friend.

What?

“Hey! Crazy our class celebrity floated on Dango!”

Ah floated.

-(Oktap)’s Killing Band live!! ┃ Rendez-vous, Cruise!!, Your Time, album pre-release song Untitled series.

Confirmed the video uploaded and quickly turned the head Heo Junseong was already watching the video and Lee Doyoung met eyes with me.

At the guy’s smile grinning the mood became good.

In our school Oktap was quite famous.

Following the appearance shown at the school festival even appeared on music broadcast.

Already in the class kids’ view we were no different from celebrities.

Well, we are thinking not that degree.

During break time friends watched the video and sent cheers and shouted and threw textbooks...

Not a fuss.

Cute bastards.

Manager Kim Minsang only counted the time Killing Band episode 3 goes up.

The preview post’s reaction was good but the important was the main episode.

There was worry about whether views would come out well but no need for such worry.

“Done! Done!!”

-Views: 127 thousand times

As soon as uploaded views lightly exceeded 100 thousand.

“Wow, this really working!”

“Manager worked hard a lot.”

“Ah, congratulations. Saving this.”

“Shall we set Jo Hyeonwoo Band filming date?”

Colleague production team infinitely praised him.

Everyone said won’t work and said let’s give up.

Manager Kim Minsang from the moment planning swollen with expectation through despair and frustration until the present moment steadily recalled.

In this success Cha Seoha greatly involved.

Just thought an arrogant little kid.

A guy with very outstanding insight.

That kid’s confidence had basis.

Anyway thanks to Cha Seoha one content like a timely rain of the dying band scene survived.

And the public was also talking about such a flow.

-Wow Nabitsmo and Bulryang Onion couldn’t save Oktap saving

-Thanks to algorithm riding well lol

└Anyway did it?

└Yeah acknowledgment

└Algorithm is algorithm but Oktap these kids famous these days is also fact

-Wow rock band fans will like tremendously this now becoming regular content like Killing Verse and Killing Voice?

The public didn’t know about the path of traffic inflow.

Because only channel manager could know this.

Not receiving the algorithm’s choice but a phenomenon of search amount increasing thanks to people carrying the post.

Whatever the reason with Oktap’s activity a pleasant wind blowing even in the band scene was a fact.

* * *

School ended and we gathered at the practice room.

To monitor the video all together and hold a meeting about the remaining songs.

“Hey, did you guys all watch the video?”

Heo Junseong asked in a somehow grumbling tone.

“Yeah, all watched? Why?”

“Then did you see this too?”

Heo Junseong held out his phone.

-Thanks to Oktap Nabitsmo and Bulryang Onion video views also jumped tremendously

-Hope of the band scene ㅠㅠ you guys do a bit...

-No what band scene boom sucking views bringing kids with no roots ㅡㅡ come to senses

└This person does malicious comments on every Oktap video

└Roots parrots not tired?

-No crazy what performance this well

-Everyone form crazy only knew Kang Min but other kids also all too well

-Dango Music just do hip-hop and ballad no band understanding these

└In 3 episodes roots power fucking destroyed

-Wow ensemble ends

-Pre-release song crazy?

-Agency sucking good rookie also coming out in such place

-A bit editing sucking too lol

-Wow crazy pre-release songs all too good

└I think the second pre-release song is goat

There were also not good reactions but public opinion was overall good.

The overall ratio about 8 to 2 good comments overwhelmingly many.

But Heo Junseong’s expression is the exact opposite.

“We decided to eat curses. Not the expected reaction...”

Um, that guy seems knowing something a bit wrong now...

“Heo Junseong. Did you forget why we decided to eat curses?”

“Huh? First if eat curses good no?”

“...”

Just abandon that guy and do band.

“Hey, this idiot. Even if eat curses, even if not eat if we only receive a lot of interest fine.”

Kim Jihu said in a fully ignoring tone.

“Ah, is that so?”

“Hey, Cha Seoha. Let’s newly recruit our guitarist.”

“Yeah, that would be good.”

“Hey! Why! Can not know a bit! Kang Min did you know?”

“Of course. Does not knowing that make sense? I knew certainly from the beginning.”

Seeing the tone normal that guy also clearly didn’t know.

“Still what Junseong showed is YouTube reaction. Community will be a bit different.”

At Lee Doyoung’s words Heo Junseong quickly flipped the phone.

“Ah! Right!”

Heo Junseong’s expression becomes good.

No the act of eating curses itself isn’t important?

Frustrating really.

On the community countless posts related to Oktap were uploaded.
