Chapter 4 (1/2)
The next day, KangYoon started organizing the teaave hiYoon could select all of the important team members as he wanted
‘MG has a lot of talents That’s for sure’
From Producer Oh JiWan, the main commander-in-practice who produced countless albu hits; to Vice-Chief Lee JiYeon, as the ace of the Pro able to read the latest trends of theabout JooAh; and lastly, the one ould choose the songs, MG’s Yoon had heard of at least once in his ‘past’
To think that in his previous life, he never even had the chance to ith these people, but noas the Planning and ManageYoon felt the responsibility, along with a gratitude for his new life
After KangYoon selected the tea in his own office After everyone gathered, he did a brief self-introduction and started the
“The objective this time is to successfully debut in the japanese market, and place within the top 5 of the Oricon Chart”
Everyone groaned at KangYoon’s objective They were aces alright, but to debut into japan was a coers, the japanese market was an exclusive existence where one had to throw money in, not earn from it
“Do you knoho the er is in japan?”
It was Vice-Chief Lee JiYeon who spoke first After everyone shook their heads, she continued speaking:
“It’s a solo singer called Sisca Ai Before that, it was a singer called Mei The coing ability rather than their dance to become famous”
“Youis good…”
Manager Kang SuMin added Then, SeolLin chimed in
“However, if a Korean singer uses the japanese style, can we really satisfy them? I think this will be quite an adventure Of course the lyrics will have to be translated into japanese, but changing the style of music will not be easy at all”
“It’s a debut into japan To do that, we need to understand their way of thinking If acoustic music is the trend, then I think it’s safer to follow the trend”
“However, then what happens to JooAh’s own style? Of course, JooAh won’t be weak at acoustic music, but if that happens, then on’t be able to show her original performance at all”
The opinions of SeolLin and Producer Oh JiWan clashed strongly In the following conversation, the four of them didn’t narron each of their opinions at all Each of their opinions on how to debut in japan and how JooAh should perform was different The opinion to o with JooAh’s style continued clashi+ng until KangYoon, who didn’t speak at all, spoke up
“Let’s go performance-based”
“What? But right now in japan, the n over performance It’s their trend I think it’s impossible”
Vice-Chief Lee JiYeon shook her head
“People feel familiar to what they are used to Plus, it’s japan, they are very exclusive towards foreigners As Koreans, we need to o with perforerous”
“No Performance is better To be honest, there is a lot more to what JooAh can show than the japanese male idols, since JooAh exceeds theners to the completely new?”
Vice-Chief Lee JiYeon couldn’t say anything, KangYoon’s words had a strange persuasiveness to theood, then everybody would watch her And JooAh had that ability
“Then Tea be dance-themed?”
“It would be like that Dance based on popping One that can bring out JooAh’s specialty, one that has groove – this is what I have in mind”
At Producer Oh JiWan’s question, KangYoon answered Then Producer Oh JiWan clapped loudly
“Groove, huh!! Wow I didn’t even think about it Hmm, it can be considered retro…”
“japan has a longer history in modern music than us I think the chances are plenty”
KangYoon’s didn’t speak too th It was because his words had logic He seemed unreliable since he was a half-cronyist Team Leader, but it wasn’t like that at all
“JooAh’s specialty is riding the rhyth”
Manager Kang SuMin seemed satisfied as he nodded
“You’re right You’re su in one line Pron a deal with a japanese TV station while Co You should choose first and it will be alright if I join later”
“Yes”
“Yeah~ap”
Vice-Chief Lee JiYeon and Composer SeolLin answered in their own style and wrote down the is
“If the song coine that you’re training a trainee and uide version”
“Anything else?”
“Not yet We will get busy once the song comes out, so rest up now”
Producer Oh JiWan nodded, and all that was left was Manager Kang SuMin
“JooAh’s looking after her weight, right?”
“Of course”
“Looking after her body is i even ain weight a bit, don’t let her stress out too o out too”
“However, that’s against the company rules”
“JooAh will be ruined if she is bound by the coh? We need to show that we trust her and she will do better by herself”
“I understand”
The checks for details also ended, and theended there Everybody received their oork and exited KangYoon’s office
KangYoon, as left alone, finally came back to his seat and buried himself in it
‘Fuu… That was hard I still can’t believe it To think that I’ JooAh’s album’
He, as dubbed the er known as JooAh KangYoon was still dazed by this fact He still thought this was all a dream However, the sweet smell of coffee he felt made him realize that this was no dream
‘I will absolutely, definitely succeed!!’
KangYoon sipped his coffee while looking outside theAnd he strongly resolved himself to definitely succeed this time
The next day
KangYoon was face to face with the singer JooAh, alone
“… If you have anything to say, then do it quickly I am busy”
JooAh was direct And strong However, KangYoon, facing a top singer as talking sharply, wasn’t flustered at all
‘JooAh originally had a sharp personality She’s cold to strangers too However, once she thinks someone is on her side, then she would protect them to the end I need to make her realize that I’m on the same side as her’
However, JooAh had her own standards, and that was based on ability She was a person who treated those without ability as insects She tried not to put those without ability by her side
