Chapter 48

“What Cha Seoha?”

“Look at this a bit.”

“This time what again?”

The next day the album was released.

That is two days ago from today.

Oktap announced on the official SNS account holding album release commemorative showcase performance.

The period this week weekend May 12th Saturday.

The place one small performance hall owned by Nam Dohun who hosted Band Slam at the end of last year.

The relevant performance hall was a place that can accommodate maximum 100 people.

Because of that noise was arising.

Yesterday Cha Seoha contacted the winners in batch.

On the phone Cha Seoha held out to the friends the number of performance viewing applications that entered until now was written.

-73,786 cases

“Um... This definitely problem.”

“No, applied this many?”

“Yes? 70 thousand people?”

“We... Seems becoming something?”

On the guys’ expressions joy and trouble mixed.

Popularity increasing good but too unprepared.

Opinions related to Oktap’s personal performance could be found not difficultly.

-No what 100 seats does this make sense? Clearly applied as soon as floated but dropped

-Agency not doing work? What opening showcase in a place size of rat bean?

└No agency, still people who don’t know not indie band

└Ah real? Didn’t know

└What agency in the world receives showcase application as form lolol idiot lolol

-Oktap kids... You not that degree do in a bit bigger place please...

-Said first come 100 people but applicants about 10 thousand people? lol

-Open one more day please

-If failed just go to Banwol Park don’t whine

└You succeeded?

└Yeah of course

└Fucking envious ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

At the bursting dissatisfaction trouble was the same for Cha Seoha.

Honestly speaking Cha Seoha also not accurately recognizing how much Oktap’s popularity.

Until now his life only experiences where position and situation match.

When rookie idol matching small popularity.

When became world star enjoyed fame befitting that.

From the position of indie band enjoying popularity like celebrity first time so error arising in recognition natural.

Ordinary small-scale idol showcase with little recognition minimum about 150 seats.

Oktap receiving love more than self thought.

To repay that movement accordingly seemed needed.

Oktap who didn’t know this degree fell into worry.

“What to do should open one more day?”

In fact showcase fine to finish like this and show better appearance next time.

But what’s important now is present dissatisfaction.

Even if straining have to resolve a bit.

“Seems have to strain a bit...”

Doing performance one more time itself not strain.

The problem was money.

We also in our own way track profit entering but to rent small performance hall about 700 thousand won needed.

Moreover if recruiting bigger place than now more will cost.

Per person 140 thousand won, or according to performance hall scale have to pay more than double that.

I fine.

Kim Jihu too Kang Min too house well off so fine.

But how about Heo Junseong whose family situation very difficult or Lee Doyoung ordinary family.

To high school student 140 thousand won tremendously big.

“Let’s do. If strain a bit fine.”

The first to answer unexpectedly Heo Junseong.

“Will be fine?”

And the first to react long friend Kim Jihu.

“Yeah, eat hamburger a bit less fine.”

Somehow thankful thought arises.

“Me too! Me too will save money and add a lot let’s find big performance hall.”

Lee Doyoung also active.

Around the time thought since I earn a bit more money should add.

“Ha...”

Kim Jihu suddenly sighed deeply and glared at Lee Doyoung and Heo Junseong.

“You two. Have money?”

Tone and eyes quite fierce.

“I have a bit saved.”

“From now if gather fine!”

Lee Doyoung that aside at Heo Junseong’s answer with no countermeasure Kim Jihu held forehead.

“Hey Heo Junseong. Gathering from now what nonsense? Performance this weekend right away.”

Heo Junseong also would have saved.

Said because a bit lacking.

“I’ll pay. Buy meal next time.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yeah, Doyoung you too if lacking I’ll add.”

“Jihu, even so fine too sorry.”

“The one who has has to pay more. Later if situation repay or not do as you please.”

As expected doctor family different.

“In my thought we now have to do best. Because band fans also started supporting us. Now too important period to us. Spending a bit more money or not is not a matter to consider.”

At Kim Jihu’s sharp judgment head automatically nodded.

“Then watashi also will pay a bit more!”

Similarly rich family son one more stepped forward.

Lee Doyoung and Heo Junseong prostrated on the spot and bowed to the two guys.

“Thank you Jihu!”

“Ou, my, Kang Min-sama!”

“Haha! So da! Watashi wa kami-sama da! Uwahaha!”

“Um...”

* * *

Lee Doyoung and Heo Junseong also added a bit more money but Kang Min and Kim Jihu moreover me adding money recruited big performance hall.

The date the next day of the first showcase Sunday.

Accommodation number 200 people.

Performance hall rental fee alone 1.5 million won.

To me quite big expenditure but Kang Min and Kim Jihu looked leisurely.

These guys on earth how much allowance receive?

Well, Kim Jihu doctor family and Kang Min looking at having personal practice room at 19 years old says all.

Thinking like this indie band not easy even opening one performance.

If ordinary deficit.

Hope band scene grows more and opportunities given to many people quickly.

Anyway like that performance added one more day.

No, but where in the world a team doing showcase two days?

But if fans want doing is singer.

We after recruiting the performance hall immediately uploaded post and story on the official account.

-Regular album release commemorative showcase additional performance notice.

May 13th Sunday 200 seats additional open. Reserve with the application form below.

-Ah this!

-Wow I applied right away can go? First day dropped

-Ha... Uploaded 6 hours ago already all filled...

-Oh doing in bigger performance hall?

-Ah I also want to go a bit...

-No people reaction fucking good band boom really coming?

-Please stick please stick please please see real a bit please!!!

If showcase scale this degree quite big.

Two days, moreover total 300 seats.

In this period even small-medium idols not this degree.

From my position quite funny situation but this evidence we are receiving love.

Decided to accept whatever thankfully.

Summarizing reactions until now like this.

First our album reaction quite good.

Still not spitting the feat of charting but many people listening to our album and giving good evaluations.

And people who knew the fact Oktap is indie band quite many.

Will talk largely on broadcasts planned to appear ahead.

Already people knowing our identity only increasing.

Still people who dislike us existed but that seems fine to ignore.

Immediately talk about showcase many.

This degree quite big opening for indie band.

Many people not knowing that standard well.

We have to overturn that disappointment.

Had confidence.

Overturning something is what we do best.

“To do that have to do performance well.”

Natural talk but especially this performance more important.

We will largely announce the fact we are indie band at this performance.

Because that reason still people who believe we are band with agency.

And mainly such people would have dissatisfaction about showcase scale.

That dissatisfaction have to repay with the best performance.

Music broadcast too, Killing Band too compared to this small performance hall scale big and flashy.

Compared to what shown before too insignificant performance hall.

But we have to show excellent performance regardless of performance hall scale or something.

“Cha Seoha’s words right. Showing good performance on good stage easy. But pulling out best quality in harsh place hard.”

Kim Jihu agreed with my words.

“Um, to us seems easy?”

Heo Junseong revealed confidence.

“Tashikani... We busker origin.

“Right, performed even in midwinter.”

We are guys who performed even if rain came, even if snow came, even if drunk people rampaged.

If this degree performance hall too good environment to us.

No difficulty.

Let’s show excellent stage.

The foundation to make all people who cursed us until now shut mouths.

That’s exactly this showcase.

“Alright, everyone stand up. Let’s start practice.”

“Good!”

* * *

Oktap’s showcase seats already all filled but that news only spread far and wide.

-Any rock friend going to Oktap album release showcase?

The relevant news was becoming topical centered on band community of course general public.

-Applied right as soon as floated but dropped

└No on earth how much popularity?

└I also applied as soon as floated but dropped

-Album fucking well pulled ㅇㅇ popularity many makes sense

-Ah curious I also want to go see

-No these days why so many guys sucking idol band? How is the world turning on earth

└Not idol band fuck

└Living crazy about conspiracy theory if not know a bit not

└Because others all like resentment arises for no reason? That disease disease

└Pretending awake

-Failed people go to Banwol Park lolol I will play and come~

└Stuck?

└Yeah of course

└Fuck fucking envious

-Ah I also want to see metal performance fuckers why among yourselves

-No agency spun viral pretending indie band everyone falling for this

└Yeah just believe like that and live you

└On album credit agency Oktap clearly specified you no eyes?

└Not that I no eyes you guys stupid

Until a while ago most band core fans who cursed Oktap now started earnestly acknowledging Oktap.

Because Oktap proved with album.

Many people expecting Oktap’s showcase.

Now the period Oktap receiving hate was somewhat organizing.

But still early to be relieved.

Giving interest many people meaning have to show that much good appearance.
