Chapter 61

As Cha Seoha expected the fact there was Who’s the Real production team’s intervention in the judge evaluation was true.

Oktap did the stage too well no matter how doing.

Boasted the highest level among all participants of the 1st round proceeded for two days.

Of course there were also many teams with more skill or depth superior compared to Oktap.

Intuitively felt skill Oktap by far 1st.

In the production team’s judgment Oktap probably if only like this will go up quite high.

Because visual also good if going up to main round and finals where audience vote and real-time text vote proceed the landscape will become advantageous to Oktap.

Production team who already finished such judgment installed one device needed for narrative to Oktap.

In fact 3 votes or 4 votes same pass but gave instruction to Park Cheolhwan judge to find Oktap’s defect.

The defect he found was the point Oktap wore clothes that don’t suit.

In Park Cheolhwan’s opinion no greatly wrong point.

Actually the unique voice Cha Seoha has was hardware that suits punk better than metal.

And the heart of Park Cheolhwan who gave such opinion was sincere.

Thought Oktap a team that shouldn’t go up high.

Oktap as they proved real indie not idol band.

But to Park Cheolhwan judge what important not the title.

If just entered the scene need romance and orthodoxy about rock that suits that.

Doing popular music when such sincerity and romance, years accumulated and rose to some rank.

Thought that real musicians’ move.

Park Cheolhwan didn’t like so-called ‘nicely grown band’.

If such Oktap gains something on this broadcast and enters major scene thought clearly will become poison to Oktap too scene too.

Oktap who didn’t know even such inside.

Other members of course even Cha Seoha thought Park Cheolhwan judge’s ‘Fake’ judgment only broadcasting station’s intervention.

“Clothes that don’t suit...”

Cha Seoha muttering alone while opening ST Studio door and entering.

Carefully thought the words Park Cheolhwan said.

Honestly himself hearing those words nothing.

But looking at friends being upset couldn’t stay still.

In the next round needed to take care of one special weapon.

While winning the round, do as Park Cheolhwan instructed, but not deviating from his direction.

At the same time able to pull broadcast angle.

Such weapon.

“Owner hello.”

“Yeah, next round preparation going well?”

“Now trying to make song.”

“Now?”

“Yes, somehow plan twisted.”

“Yeah, will be busy quickly go in and work.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Like that after briefly talking with Jo Hyeonseop Cha Seoha entered the empty studio.

* * *

“Owner. That broadcast that kid going out when first airing?”

“End of August.”

“Even a month left. Hope comes out quickly.”

ST Studio’s part-timer Park Minji was looking at Cha Seoha through the monitor.

Cha Seoha immersing only in work over 1 hour since entered.

In this world is there something as beautiful as a good-looking kid concentrating on his work?

Wearing headphones upside down and working so couldn’t know what music making but just looking also good.

And, even felt excited heart at the thought of first seeing the song work process that will come out on broadcast soon.

“What music making this time?”

“Well, I also curious.”

Cha Seoha while playing bass suddenly started tearing the head.

Seems something not going well as heart.

No matter genius there is time of worry.

Cha Seoha putting the bass playing beside and standing up from the seat stretching.

“Seems something not going well.”

“Thought that kid makes anything quickly well but has such worry time too.”

“No artist without such. Even world genius creation’s worry follows.”

Cha Seoha wandered inside the studio and sat on the chair stood up and even tapped the wall with palm.

Whether forgot there is CCTV did strange things alone then shouted big.

Then suddenly something floated ran to the front of the computer and picked up the bass.

“Wow, suddenly posture coming out.”

“That posture seems cool.”

Cha Seoha pulling upper body forward and playing bass.

Posture bassists often show and that comes out when immersed.

“Seems caught the sense.”

“What, what will come out!”

Like that Cha Seoha whether finished the song turned the output channel from headset to speaker then played the song.

As soon as the song’s identity appeared Jo Hyeonseop noticed the original.

“Huh? Doing that?”

Cha Seoha’s song selection too unexpected.

Wondered if not doing their songs but took out a song famous too famous.

On earth whether that gain or loss...

To show something with that song need one intense shot.

On earth prepared such?

And Cha Seoha standing up from the seat at the same time as the song starts.

“Kyaak!”

Following at the action Cha Seoha showed hearts poured out from Park Minji’s eyes.

“Th... What is that...”

On the other hand Jo Hyeonseop looking at the weapon Cha Seoha prepared couldn’t help but be perplexed.

Band audition but...

Fine even like that?

By the way didn’t consult me again?

* * *

Finished the song and sent the song to Oktap group chat room.

Then a little later replies came from the guys who confirmed the song.

Hamburger: Wow what is this? Our next round doing this? Cha Seoha you made?

Me: ㅇㅇ

Hamburger: Wow! I agree!

Otaku: Hee! Sugoi! Subarashii!

Kim Jihu: Fine. Challenging song selection but arrangement direction good so seems fine.

And after that I sent one short video to use as weapon together with this song to the guys.

Doyoung: What is this...?

Kim Jihu: Cha Seoha you serious?

Otaku: Hora... Omoshiroi ne...

Hamburger: Wow crazy fucking awesome but fine to do this? Not over?

As expected probably harder than making the song will be the work of persuading these guys to use this weapon.

* * *

Teams that survived in 1st round total 36 teams.

2nd round 1vs1 battle and losing team eliminates as is.

Time faithfully flowed and 2nd audition date approached and already four teams dropped.

Sangam-dong’s K-Net broadcasting station side annex studio.

“Definitely better than 1st time.”

“Have to make rivals for fire to attach.”

In 1st time too many mediocre teams.

Then teams to judge many and had to watch boring stages somehow.

Judges whose energy a bit rising able to appreciate only substantial stages.

“Cheolhwan hyung, who does hyung expect most?”

“I anyway Maruru Band. Overwhelming strong team.”

“But in 1st time Oktap did better?”

“Once degree can be so. In my view Oktap doing well is fact but hard to beat Maruru Band in long term.”

“Well, then how is Destruction? In my view there also strong winner candidate”

“There also does well. Looking at 1st time music became more flexible than original?”

Other than that teams that showed good appearance not expected, teams worse than expected various talks came and went.

“Jo Seonghun Band will enter.”

At that time the only band with thick intimacy with Oktap Jo Seonghun Band appeared.

“Hello. Jo Seonghun Band.”

Fifth match’s first order.

Judges received greetings and while they tuning exchanged talks again.

“Those friends 1st round better than thought?”

“Yeah, first seeing guys but creativity too good. Playing a bit regrettable but.”

“But vocal quite excellent.”

“Even now good but if kids doing instruments don’t practice more hard to go up high.”

“Future expected.”

In 1st round Jo Seonghun Band showed unexpected appearance.

Because too many teams with mediocre skill judges no way to expect the first seeing Jo Seonghun Band.

But Jo Seonghun Band’s music had many fun points.

If regrettable point the degree players not catching up to creativity.

But vocal’s capability so outstanding covered to some degree.

What appearance will show this time.

* * *

“Congratulations. Jo Seonghun Band advanced to 3rd round!”

“Wow! Thank you!”

“Ah, really thank you!”

Jo Seonghun Band’s members one and all reddened eye corners and offered thanks to the judges.

In fact they came up with light heart.

Because not long since formed band so thought will drop soon.

But going up higher than thought.

Jo Seonghun Band exited and brief rest time given.

“Ah, didn’t ask who wrote the song.”

Park Cheolhwan admired looking at Jo Seonghun Band’s stage even in 1st round and 2nd round.

A team with clear regrettable points but future expected because of flashing creativity.

He thought Jo Seonghun Band a team full of romance those who just dipped feet in the band scene can show.

“Let’s ask next round.”

Judges drank water or went to bathroom and confirmed who next match.

-S.L.Y VS Oktap

“Wow, next is Oktap.”

“What song prepared?”

“Before Cheolhwan hyung said one word so not bringing popular music?”

“Hey, stop that talk a bit.”

At Shin Myeongcheol of Bulryang Onion gradually scratching beside Park Cheolhwan expressed uncomfortable signs.

He evaluated as conviction in the last round.

Because Oktap receiving too much love compared to experience.

‘Too much love’.

As Oktap’s stage approaching some anxiety started blooming in his heart.

What song those guys brought this time.

And how that result and the words he said in the last round intertwined and go out on broadcast.

In an instant numerous thoughts tangled in his head.

“Before looking at that Cha Seoha guy seemed flared up not bringing harder thing with rebellious heart?”

“Aigoo, surely. Even so high school student this time won’t bring what doing uneventfully? Popular thing.”

“Well still kids so will do as judges say.”

While such various opinions coming and going voice heard through the speaker.

“Hello. We are Oktap.”
