Help

After registering her company and recruiting a talented employee, So-Young was back at the YG buiding. They were going to discuss the plans for their comeback. The group 2ne1 was a sensation among the middle schoolers, high schoolers and young adults. This was their tarheted audience. There were a few exceptions. For example, Lee Min Jun was a middle aged man and was a huge fan of 2ne1.

It would be hard to gain the interest of fans of other age groups at than the current ones. Then needed to take measures to attract the attention of other age groups to further solidify their position. Now that they had attended the MAMAs as a rookie group, they would be competing against established groups this year. It was going to be a lot harder.

So-Young and the rest of the 2ne1 members were catching up while waiting for the CEO to show up. They spoke about what they did in the holidays and ideas for the new album. Their new album was mostly completed. The songs just needed to be polished and some parts needed to be recorded again. They only needed to shoot the M/Vs.

The songs were mainly composed by So-Young with the help of the YG staff. But, this time, Bom and Sandara came up with one song each. Though they were not as professional, they were amazing for a first time attempt. They brought the songs to So-Young to brush it up a little. With some editing, they turned out to be brilliant. CL and Minzy attempted to compose, but they were not up to the level that could be encorporaated into the album.

Both CL and Minzy were dissapointed. They were both older than So-Young but were not able to do what she could. They knew that she was a genius, but they could not help but compare themselves to her. It was like a blow to their self confidance.

So-Young was not sure how to comfort them. She could not just say, "Don't worry you kids. You are comparing yourselves to a 30 year old woman." The only thing she coud do was to encourage the two of them. and she tried to do that as much as she could. Eventually, after the coaxing of Bom, Sandara and So-Young, the two of them came around. They tried to take it in a positive way. Instead if bringing themselves down, they tried to pull themselves up.

They were more enthusiasic and deligent. It was quite a feat for a teenager to change their state of mind as quickly as they did. Positivity is what keeps one going. That was one trait amongst the members of this group. They had each others backs, had a positive mindset and were optimistic.

After the CEO showed up, they had a meeting and discussed the tactics they would use to bring more attention to them. The basic idea was to maintain a positive image, diversify the genre of the songs and have a good amount of fan interaction. Too less interaction with fans would lead them to fall out of favour. On the other hand, if they interact too much, it could lead to a lack of interst as you become too normal.

Good news was that their reality show was going to be released this year. They would be able to create hype from it. It was going to air on KBS at a fairly good time spot. They would be able get more fans through that.

Another good thing was that they were finaly be having their concerts. they would be going all over South Korea ranging from Seoul to Busan. The 2ne1 members barely had any fan meetings. That is why they were really excited to be able to interact with their fans through the concert. The tickets would be open for sale in May, and they would be on tour from August to October.

It was going to be a busy year.

So-young needed to work on her company too. And only her friends could help her with it. When all of them went back to the apartment, she called them all to sit in the living room.

So-Young : "Guys, I will need your help. Can we call all the sunbaes too? Tomorrow, at the cafe in front of the YG building."

Bom : "What is going on So-Young? Is everythig alright?"

So-Young : "It is not anything serious... But i need you to help me. You will come to know about it tomorrow."

So-Young had already informed GD hyung about meeting tomorrow. Thouh they were busy, He made space in their schedule to encorporate her as she sounded really serious and tense.

The girls tried to pry out the reason, but So-Young kept insisting on telling it to them together with the BIGBANG sunbae-nims. The girls eventually agreed and went to bed with different questions spinning in their head.
