Damn Idol Episode 83

Album 8. Business Game

The obvious word is burnout.

A word that doesn't seem to exist is wise man time.

A word that seems to have no more meaning is hyeonta.

Isn't that right, Hyeonja Time and Hyeonta are all there.

Anyway, I have studied why Hyeonta comes.

Because this is the guy you inevitably encounter when going through countless regressions.

The reason why Hyeonta comes is because of hormones.

After dopamine, which is responsible for human motivation and sense of accomplishment, is secreted excessively, it falls below the average and loses motivation... … .

Damn, what are you doing?

I'm making excuses to myself for no reason.

To put it simply, the hit has arrived.

"… … ."

It was just yesterday that I left the take scene and said that I would debut with Sedalbaekil.

CEO Choi Dae-ho was angry, and PD Kang Seok-woo was embarrassed.

But what can you do?

I said I won't do it.

The filming ended in a chaotic atmosphere, and we drank alcohol at the mushroom farm that Goo Tae-hwan's parents run.

Choi Jae-seong, who is a minor, only sipped drinks, but the atmosphere was good.

For your information, Onsaemiro cried.

He said he didn't know I would make this choice.

You bastard.

Choi Jae-seong made fun of Onsaemi-ro, calling him Jin, and Lee Ion did the cleaning.

I found out that Ion hyung has a bad drinking habit.

Koo Tae-hwan tirelessly cleaned the annex that his parents had given him so that he could not worry about what others thought.

I thought he was an employee of a cleaning company.

Koo Tae-hwan was the only one who was fine.

It seemed like he drank quite a bit, but the alcohol was extremely strong, so he just observed the members without blinking.

I heard that Koo Tae-hwan's hobby is observing people.

The day after we had such a good time and broke up.

Wise Man Time had arrived.

It's not that I regret my choice.

I probably would have made the same choice even if the same moment came.

However, it was clearly an inappropriate choice for a regressor.

Some people may wonder what it would be like to live as they please, since they end up repeating countless lives anyway.

But it's not that simple.

I, too, have tried to live as I please to relieve stress.

With the money I had earned, I wanted to live and party on the beach in California.

However, this means that the possibility of selling 200 million copies has been ruled out.

No possibility means you have given up, and giving up brings about regression.

Because that's my regression rule.

Of course, you can endure and ignore the fact that you were forced to give up.

A week, fortnight, or a month.

You can ignore it by partying every day, living a drunken life.

But that also has its limits.

Because one day, when you wake up on a mega yacht filled with traces of a party on board, you will think this.

'There is no paradise where you run away.'

So, you have to have a glimmer of hope that you can sell 200 million copies to survive.

Even if you don't sell 200 million copies, you have to try to gain something.

Just like I tried to experience typical K-pop idols in this life.

That's not giving up, it's preparation.

In that sense, the current situation for three months and a hundred days was quite negative.

On the surface, Coming Up Next promotes 'debut immediately after winning' and 'freedom to move on after being eliminated.'

In other words, if you win, you have to debut at Lion Entertainment, but if you are eliminated, you can go anywhere.

But it can't actually happen like this.

As if the program "Coming Up Next" was a huge failure, it is currently looking at a viewership rating of 10%.

Ryan Entertainment just releases a contestant who is well-known to one in ten people?

Ryan Entertainment paid all the program planning, program production costs, and training costs?

That can't be possible.

It's great to hear praise from the industry.

So from now on, the pressure on the members of Sedalbaekil would begin.

If you leave Lion Entertainment, you won't be able to debut.

You won't be able to get anywhere in this industry.

It's not like bluffing.

CEO Choi Dae-ho has that much power.

In fact, there are cases where people were banned from appearing on broadcasts for several years because they were disliked by large entertainment companies.

Moreover, we even turned M Show into an enemy.

Of course, M Show did not suffer any financial damage.

Rather, they must have made a lot of money as the viewership ratings peaked.

M-Show is also the distributor of the songs that ranked first, right?

But the important thing is that their face has been lost.

M Show promised to package the Hansion product nicely and send it to Ryan Entertainment.

So, out of concern that it would damage Hansion's marketability, I did some editing and provided convenience.

But, suddenly, I was blown away.

If you remain silent in this situation, it is not a vested interest.

Moreover, although this is just speculation, it is highly likely that M Show will receive a share of Take Scene's sales.

Otherwise, why would the broadcasting station organize an in-house audition program?

In other words, because I didn't join the take scene, I wasn't able to earn the money I was supposed to make.

For reference, higher-ups describe this situation as 'damage.'

Because the money that could have been in their pockets has disappeared.

You completely forgot about the money you earned thanks to me.

So M Show and Ryan Entertainment will come out from now on and try to maintain discipline for the next three months.

Threats to me.

Put pressure on the rest of the members.

Of course, if I don't have a way to deal with this situation, of course there is.

I don't know much about Korea, but I know the logic of show business well.

There are many ways.

But I don't know if the Sedalbaekil members will believe that.

Believing in my music skills and believing in my business methods are two different things.

Lee Ion, On Saemi-ro, Koo Tae-hwan, Choi Jae-seong.

So far, they have been pure.

They were worried about me, wanted me to debut, and just put that into action.

But now is the time to weigh things up.

Because if you stay with Han Si-on, you will be threatened that you will never be able to achieve your dream of becoming an idol.

Moreover, 'Family' may rise on the other side of the scale where 'Hansion' rises.

[Three Months and 100 Days Lee Ion (21): I decided to watch it with producer Kim Dal-in. With my parents.]

[Three Months and 100 Days Koo Tae-hwan (20): I heard that PD Kang Seok-woo is coming to the store?]

[Three Months and One Hundred Days Choi Jae-seong (18): I heard someone is coming too. But why are you coming from the broadcasting station? Not Ryan Enter?]

This is a message from a group chat room exchanged 4 hours ago.

The members have probably met or are meeting the PD by now.

What worries me a bit is that there are no messages from Onsaemiman.

Considering the situation at home, I don't think my parents will just stay still.

After being poor all their lives, the first treasure they had was Onsaemiro.

Anyway, no communication was received from me.

It's not because of my parents' situation, but it's probably an attempt to isolate them.

To cloud normal judgment.

After thinking about that for a while, I lay down on the bed.

Perhaps because my sleeping time was irregular due to filming, I was able to fall asleep even though it was only 7 p.m.

"… … ."

But I don't want to sleep.

I feel like I'm going to have a nightmare.

"… … ."

The members of 3dal101 act like For the Youth, or Coming Up Next is aired like Stage Number Zero.

I think I'll have such an unpleasant dream.

"… … ."

It was that moment.

My body started moving as if it was being sucked into a black hole.

All the scenery around me is distorted and pushed away, passing me by.

Baaaaaaaaaa!

Before long, I was at the intersection.

This is absurd.

Is this how we end up returning?

The members of Sedalbaekil haven't even made a decision yet… … .

Ding dong!

"… … uh."

I feel like I'm lying in bed.

Did I perhaps regress?

Was he taken to the hospital from the intersection?

But when I opened my eyes, it wasn't there.

It was just a dream.

I fell asleep without knowing when I fell asleep and woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing.

Doorbell?

As I walked out into the living room, I looked at the clock and saw that it was just past 9 o'clock.

You only slept for 2 hours?

I feel like I slept for an incredibly long time.

The moment I opened the door, I was embarrassed.

The sunlight was so dazzling.

I didn't realize it because the blackout curtains were drawn throughout the house, but it's not 9 p.m.

It's 9 o'clock in the morning.

Another thing that caught me off guard was that the Sedalbaekil members were standing in front of the door.

"You slept, right?"

"… … ?"

"Wow, look at your clear skin. "How long have you slept?"

I can't follow the conversation.

As I stand still, Ion Lee speaks.

"Can't we just go in first?"

"How did you know my home address?"

"Producer Kang Seok-woo told me that you weren't answering the phone?"

"Uh, come in first."

After bringing the members into the house, they found a cell phone that had been turned off between the blankets.

It seemed like there was no battery and it was discharged.

When I quickly charged it and turned it on, there were over 20 missed calls from Sedalbaekil, Kang Seok-woo, Choi Dae-ho, and Uncle Hyun-su.

Only then did I come to my senses.

I wonder what I was thinking when I fell asleep.

"Did you meet the PD yesterday?"

When I went out to the living room and asked, Koo Tae-hwan nodded.

"We met."

"What did you say?"

"I heard that if you become a Ryan Entertainment trainee, they will debut within two years. That's right. "It would be difficult to debut if I went to another company."

It's not wrong.

"So what did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, and my father sent me away, telling me to do whatever I wanted."

The situation was similar for Lee Ion and Choi Jae-seong.

However, compared to what Koo Tae-hwan's parents said in a positive way, Lee Ion and Choi Jae-seong had slightly different feelings.

"My parents always wanted me to become a teacher. "In fact, it seems like you think it went well."

"My parents too."

… … I've never thought about this situation.

Well, not all parents welcome their children becoming celebrities.

Lastly, As for Onsaemi… … .

"I will do whatever I want."

There are marks on his face from being hit several times, but he speaks with determination.

At that moment, I felt a little dumbfounded.

I was burnt out just a few hours ago, but everyone was solid.

On the subject of living one life.

After all, the returner is the most cowardly.

I can't challenge myself with all my heart because I think there's a next time.

However, I decided to end my worries and wise man time here.

Now is the time for me to become stronger too.

So I opened my mouth.

"great. We turned M Show into an enemy, and we turned Ryan Enter into an enemy. "Do you have any plans?"

"Shouldn't we find a company that will accept us?"

I shook my head at Goo Tae-hwan's words.

There is no such place.

The fact that we hit Ryan Entertainment in the back is not just a problem for Ryan, but it is spreading into a problem for the entire entertainment agency.

Because I don't want to leave a bad precedent in the industry.

This is similar to the reason why a large company fights to the death against a factory worker who filed an industrial accident lawsuit.

It's not because the money that should be given to that one person is a waste, but because if a precedent is left, their power may be damaged in the future.

"Of course, there won't be any place that will accept us. But we have to filter out those places."

They may be newbies who have no idea about the physiology of this floor, or they may be Ryan Enter's agents running bad errands.

"hmm… … ."

The members seem to understand that the situation is more complicated than they thought, and they shed tears.

At that time, Onsaemiro asked.

"you? "Do you have any good ideas?"

Of course there is.

But I don't know how to explain this.

Then the right word came to mind.

"club."

"huh?"

"We are an idol club."

I won't have an agency, I won't be able to debut, and I won't be able to appear on music shows.

I don't know how much influence CEO Choi Dae-ho will have, but he may even have his name removed from the music charts.

However, they will sell an incredible number of albums and record billions of views on their music videos.

Top musicians will participate in the album, and it will rise up and down the Billboard charts.

I'm curious too.

By then, will the Korean music industry still be able to reject us?

The original goal of becoming a typical idol disappeared.

Now I plan to go to a place where I can reach them.
