Chapter 44

Chapter 44

For a regular album in name if no music video what use.

As long as no incident our album will do well.

The variety video and music broadcast video an indie band appeared in were recording over 1 million views.

Killing Band video also a few days after uploaded approaching 300 thousand times.

This degree did all that can be done currently.

Would do if wanting to do more but then can’t release album.

After bringing up music video talk to the friends thought about method a bit.

First can’t produce among ourselves.

Above all financially tight to buy filming camera and editing program.

Even if camera there was no person with expertise in filming itself.

I filmed many music videos but from the position of subject not filmer so not greatly different from these.

Even if somehow doing that editing stage also problem.

So needed a person to help us.

But now at a bit cheap price.

If free even better.

One person needed for music video production came to mind.

Don’t know well whether will cooperate with us or not but first let’s contact.

As usual finished Banwol Park busking and took photos with the audience pouring like a tide and shared short conversations.

Like a short fan meeting held every week.

After that trying to organize luggage someone approached.

“Worked hard.”

“Ah, long time.”

Jo Seonghun hyung met while busking at Banwol Park trembling in the cold last winter.

In my previous life this hyung was a solo singer but this time seemed preparing band.

If not that originally had dream about band I didn’t know.

Even if not knowing all other things know this hyung is currently a university student majoring in video.

After our order ended Jo Seonghun hyung and band members preparing the stage.

Audience decreased a lot but preparing the stage without care.

“Kids, let’s watch that band’s stage and go.”

“Yeah, good.”

Usually we occasionally watched if other teams busking in the later order.

When lazy to walk to the workroom right away or when the day too good.

Just when curious about the later team.

When audience too few want to fill the headcount a bit.

Usually watched busking for such reasons.

But today there was a special purpose.

Making Jo Seonghun hyung film our music video by forming rapport a bit thickly.

That’s today’s goal.

Soon the stage started and Jo Seonghun Band’s playing started filling Banwol Park one by two.

How much is that hyung singing now?

First the prepared song seemed self-composed.

Moderate crudeness and moderate romance.

A song with no popularity to be found, while full of indie musician’s greed.

Um, the sensibility quite liked.

And Jo Seonghun hyung starting the song.

“Oh? What, that person sings well.”

“Sings the song very comfortably?”

“Yeah, sensory.”

“Yasashii koe ne...”

Even at this time sang well.

Jo Seonghun hyung in the past life was a quite outstanding ballad singer in skill.

Precisely only sang well.

Whatever song given did above average but up to there.

Lacked the eye for choosing a song that perfectly suits himself.

Later heard composed alone but no talent there at all.

Only sang well didn’t receive evaluation of doing music overall well.

Even entered the wrong company and in the end career cut and moved occupation to video side.

The relevant company manipulated charts by chart manipulation of tracks secretly from singers.

The public who harbored questions about affiliated singers who occupied the top of the chart rose up and in the end all circumstances were discovered.

Artists had no fault but to the public such things didn’t matter.

Not to mention the song the sensibility that good but folding the dream because of a bad company thought quite pitiful.

Hope does a bit well in this life.

Like that Jo Seonghun hyung after singing about five songs in a row started organizing the seat.

“Kids, want to talk a bit with those people?”

“Talk? Suddenly?”

At the sudden proposal everyone made puzzled expressions.

Heo Junseong and Kang Min whatever fine.

Lee Doyoung and Kim Jihu hate awkward.

In the end I sent Lee Doyoung and Kim Jihu home and accompanied only Heo Junseong and Kang Min and headed toward the stage.

Right before Jo Seonghun Band finished busking and returning home.

“Watched the performance well.”

“Eot, thank you. We also watch well every time.”

Cha Seoha and Kang Min, Heo Junseong headed to the stage and exchanged greetings with Jo Seonghun.

After last winter met a few times but all just brushing while exchanging eye greetings.

Jo Seonghun Band’s members organizing instruments on the stage couldn’t take eyes off Oktap.

Wow, celebrity...

Crazy talking to us?

Ah, made a mistake earlier would have seen that too...

Members with fully tense appearance clear.

Tense was the same for Jo Seonghun.

Oktap not leaving the seat even after short greetings exchanged.

Seems have some business but don’t know well what.

“If not doing anything after ending want to go eat hamburger with us?”

“Hamburger?”

“Yes?”

“Suddenly?”

* * *

Awkward air hovered inside the fast food store.

Jo Seonghun hyung had an eye of what situation is this and other session members to the degree not knowing whether eating burger or observing us.

Heo Junseong ate the burger like a crab hiding eyes.

Kang Min had an expression of dying tired of this burger piece.

In fact me too...

“Ah, a famous person eating with us this quite amazing.”

“Just people doing music the same.”

“By the way why suddenly meal with us...”

“Ah, not particular just wanting to get close. Fun musicians only talking music and playing.”

“Ah, right! Yes! If colleague to talk music we also welcome.”

Jo Seonghun hyung reacted like a child.

Like that we sat in the seat and chatted for a long time about music liking these days or pursuing direction, the future of the band scene.

This hyung is introverted by nature.

While thanks to unique kind heart converses well with anyone.

Cheerfulness or progressive appearance a bit lacking.

Why that is I know well.

The conversation flowed and flowed and talk about each hardship also came out.

“We also want to become famous like Oktap but not easy.”

“Hard. We also honestly luck too good.”

“Because skill good luck also followed. Do tremendously well.”

Really seems like conversing with a passionate fan.

I following decided to bring out our hardship.

“Ah, in fact we are preparing album.”

“Know. Listened to all album pre-release songs on Killing Band. Really too good.”

“Right, I especially the second song too good.”

“I the last song.”

“I the third song. No just all good.”

The hyungs who came together also gathered mouths and praised our pre-release songs.

“But anyway if regular album seems have to film music video too our team has no expertise at all in that part. Ah, not easy.”

“Music video?”

“Yes, if knew would have studied video side a bit. Haha!”

Suddenly Jo Seonghun and members sharing eye light.

“Shall we help a bit?”

Ah, nice.

“How?”

“We all broadcasting video department. Music video one degree not even work.”

“Wow, oh! Really?”

Was the reaction appropriate?

“Wow, crazy! Daebak! Hyungs film video?”

“Hee! Subarashii... Ah, no. Ahem, really amazing. Video major. Such coincidence.”

Kang Min is a crazy person right.

Heo Junseong reacted appropriately.

“Yes, we’ll help. Just entering famous person’s career is honor. Everyone fine?”

“Ah, I’ll skip school class and film.”

“I can skip housework and go.”

“Of course skip girlfriend date and go.”

“I just live at the filming site just.”

Why do people doing music all seem missing one screw like that.

Anyway cooperative so only thankful.

“Can’t promise anything right now but then we’ll also definitely do things helpful to hyungs’ band.”

“Ah, such things fine. Just put our names on the credit. Helps portfolio.”

That refusal also only too thankful.

“Oh then since words came out exchange contact and SNS mutual follow.”

“Good.”

We shared many conversations after that too and at the end of the conversation talk about rough conception of the music video also came out.

* * *

As time passed reactions toward us only grew bigger.

I have never seen the history of Killing Band doing well.

Natural in the past life that content failed.

Views: 873,208 times

The episode we appeared in was popular more than thought.

870 thousand times in 2 weeks since came out.

Among many videos uploaded on Dango Music channel currently belonged to quite high axis.

A content that if does well can do this well.

As expected band market failed but the reality of even good music being ignored wasn’t it.

Not only views or comments were all of the reactions toward us.

Owner Jo Hyeonseop these days often complains to me.

Contacts come too much while I’m not really your manager this too much even doing...

There were also broadcast inquiries but agency love calls many.

Most contacted after seeing Killing Band.

Bringing five completed young musicians whole and nurturing is too easy a thing for an agency.

Know that heart well but rejected all.

Now not that contact with agency is important.

“Lighting! Move a bit to the side.”

“Okay!”

Music video filming much more important.

Our next album title song still not even decided title.

The big material of the relevant song is ‘regret’ and the main story was ‘overcoming’.

The song’s genre metal-based crossover rock.

Well, easily speaking alternative metal.

But now put popularity a bit much.

“Alright! Scene 3-5 ready! Action!”
