Damn Idol Episode 107
Album 10. Resume
I had no idea.
I didn't even know there was a person named Yang Seok-hoon in Korea, and I didn't even know he was a YouTuber with nearly 5 million subscribers.
In fact, we received too many cooperation emails asking if it would be okay to feature our music in content.
We reviewed all the proposals for appearance together, but permission for use was unanimously approved.
So, I could never have imagined that a person named Yang Seok-hoon would become our Yoav Kuttner.
I'm not even from the show business industry.
Yes, you should have this kind of luck.
Life doesn't always have to be full of misfortune.
The impact of the video created by Seok-Hoon Yang was enormous.
Just looking at the number of views, it exceeded 10 million on the fourth day of upload.
Among the videos related to me so far, there are two contents that have exceeded 10 million views.
The first is the abyss detector.
Second is the
However, the glory of 10 million views did not come to me or Sedalbaekil.
Hell Detector was an entertainment content, and Selfish was Drop Out's song.
But this time it's a little different.
The impact and recognition resulting from the number of views pours down on us.
Moreover, the people coming in now are not the type that has to split the pie with other idol groups.
These are people who have been a step away from idol content and yet have high purchasing potential.
Well, I hope everyone succeeds in finding a job.
It would be nice for people who are already employed to get promoted and earn a lot of money so they can buy some albums.
Because of this situation, comments like this started to appear on our Zarkon video.
-I watched it while studying, and it was so fun! Everyone is awesome, and I hope you all succeed!
-When will the music be released? I want to listen to it over and over again while studying.
-I really like it being dreamy and bright. It's like ASMR.
It was evidence that people who were difficult to target using standard methods were beginning to show interest in us.
Whether it will be a lasting attraction or a temporary interest is up to us.
Yang Seok-hoon even scratched our biggest itch.
Money earned from filming videos related to the original sound source should be shared with the original creator.
Depending on the nature of the video, 100% of the profits may go to the original creator.
However, in the case of Resume, the sound recording has not yet been registered.
So Seok-Hoon Yang can wash his mouth.
Of course, you can receive money if you register your music later, but you may have to file a lawsuit.
I wouldn't go that far because he's a benefactor, but that's actually the relationship.
However, Yang Seok-hoon handled his work very neatly.
He said that he had no idea that this video would explode like this, and offered generous profit sharing terms.
There is something you need to do that.
That is, sound source registration.
Yang Seok-hoon also has to handle taxes.
In other words, a 'justice' was created.
There is a very good reason to record a video of the sound recording process.
Is our content called 'Independence Diary' for no reason?
Even if we post things like registering music, no one thinks that we are dissatisfied with Lion Entertainment and are fighting against it.
Rather, I think that new idols produce everything from A to Z.
"So, we will first upload a thank you video and film the process of registering the sound source. "Given the atmosphere of the content over there, it would be nice to make the thank-you note a bit funny."
"Well, how about we react to instructor Yang Seok-hoon's resumé editing video?"
"I think it's okay?"
I nodded at Goo Tae-hwan's words.
It's not a bad idea.
At that time, Jaeseong Choi raised his hand.
I don't know if there's a need to put my hands up to my ears.
Just say it with words.
It seems that under the influence of Lee Ion, it is becoming more and more like a three-month-a-hundred-day kindergarten.
"Just say it."
"After listening to what he said, it seems like he's trying to subtly pressure me. "There are a lot of people watching the registration of music, so do it properly."
"right."
If this hadn't happened, it would have taken quite a bit of time to register the sound source.
It's an obvious trick.
It's not just Korea.
However, Eumjeohyup and Eumsanhyup are public enterprises.
Employees of public enterprises in dominant positions are prone to corruption, but they also dislike being in the spotlight.
There is no way we can ignore this situation.
"Why can't we directly say that Ryan Entertainment is putting pressure on us?"
It doesn't matter.
If the moment comes when I absolutely have to, I will criticize Ryan without hesitation.
Anyway, I plan to finish the business game I started with Ryan Entertainment.
The reason I was careful about what I said wasn't because of Ryan Enter.
"I thought about when I won."
"yes?"
"You're not just going to beat up Ryan Enter and be done with it, right? "I have to go into the industry someday."
There are no outsiders among the rulers.
I will secure a dominant position in the K-pop market.
It will become natural for all concerts to be sold out, and albums will sell out in huge quantities.
Our value will skyrocket, and we will be recorded as the greatest team in K-pop history.
Originally, LMC and Prime Time would compete, but in this life, there is no way.
I, no, we will do it.
Even if that record disappears in the wake of regression.
Therefore, it is best to refrain from making comments that may cause discomfort to the entire industry.
We will enter the system someday, but what will happen if we say that?
Those who helped Ryan Enter persecute us feel uncomfortable.
That's why.
* * *
"Because even if you don't do that, you can beat Ryan Enter."
The members of Sedalbaekil were taken aback by Hansion's words.
They were not embarrassed by Han Si-on's lack of confidence.
To begin with, Han Si-on is not the type that has no measures.
Rather, I'm the type of person who piles up so many measures that I sometimes feel frustrated.
Sedalbaekil was embarrassed for another reason.
From Han Si-on… … .
There is no smell of accomplishment whatsoever.
Lee Ion, On Saemi-ro, Koo Tae-hwan, Choi Jae-seong.
The four of you were so excited these days that you couldn't sleep well.
They gave up Ryan Enter and chose 3 months and 10 days.
But the decision wasn't easy.
So I was happy with my current achievement.
Issues related to Hell Detector, Drop Out, and NOP are solely Hansion's responsibility.
However, it is not an indie scene performance, self-produced content, or live performance.
This was achieved in three months and one hundred days.
It is undeniable that Han Sion's role is the biggest, but it is still their achievement.
So I feel a sense of accomplishment.
So why doesn't Han Si-on, who has the biggest stake in success, feel a sense of accomplishment?
Are they calm and have empty eyes?
And while we're talking about visions of the distant future?
That was what made the Sedalbaekil members embarrassed.
"Aren't you happy?"
"what?"
"All. The number of views is good, and the sound source will be registered... … . Ryan Entertainment will also be embarrassed."
It seems that Han Si-on was trying to reply to On Sae-miro's incoherent words out of habit.
I'm happy.
He was clearly trying to give his teammates the answers they wanted.
But he soon stopped, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth.
"not really."
"why?"
"well. "It's all a one-time thing, right?"
"One-time?"
"This kind of interest is like a hot potato. "It's hot enough to burn you if you put it in your mouth, but that's it."
Even if you leave it alone for just a moment, it cools down.
Shion Han, who said that, shrugged his shoulders and changed his tone to a brighter tone.
"But that doesn't mean it's going to be damp, right? "Why is everyone in this mood?"
At that moment, the members realized that now was the time to ask 'that question.'
Throughout Coming Up Next, they were obsessed with one question.
This question arose from the time the team called Sedalbaekil was formed, and it is still valid even when the song Rejumera was created.
When I heard through Onsaemiro that Hansion's goal was to sell 200 million albums, I became even more curious.
It was Ion Lee who carried the gun.
"Zion."
"yes?"
"You have to be honest. Very honestly."
"It feels like you're going to ask something big."
"Let's say there is a certain standard within you. So what are the points in three months and one hundred days?"
"… … ."
It seemed like Han Si-on never imagined he would be asked this question.
But the members of Sedalbaekil were always curious.
What on earth is going through that genius's mind?
After doing everything so easily, what is the reason for generously sharing it with the members?
Why do I have nightmares every night and pretend everything is fine in the morning?
I don't know what the other members are like, but Lee Ion wasn't that romantic.
He didn't think that three months and a hundred days would last forever, and he thought they were business partners before they were friends.
I also thought that we were becoming friends beyond business partners.
So, I believed that if I had to choose between becoming closer and becoming better every three months and a hundred days, I should choose the latter.
There must be standards.
The only person who can present that standard is Han Si-on.
At the end of the silence, Han Si-on curled his lips in protest.
I can say without a doubt that the members have never seen Han Si-on's face like this.
It was an expression that was difficult to describe in words.
It may seem like despair, or it may seem like self-deprecation.
Or it seemed like I was watching them from a very far away.
"Are you going to get hurt?"
"are you okay."
"Based on relative evaluation, everyone is doing well. You're using your current abilities well, you're getting better, you're getting better together. "Wouldn't it be possible to give it a 90 in the K-pop scene?"
"What about absolute evaluation?"
"40 points."
"… … Fourty."
"If we exclude the specificity of Koo Tae-hwan's introduction, it could be lower. "Maybe about 30 points?"
There was silence, and Han Si-on's face returned to its usual bright expression.
"Everyone is doing well. If you didn't have talent, there's no way people would cheer you on, right? Oh, this is true. If someone hears it, they might say it's arrogant. Among the same idol aspiring people."
But the silence did not end easily.
It was Onsaemi-ro who finally broke it.
"We're recording Resume tomorrow."
"huh."
"Let's put it off for a week."
"no. "Now is the golden time."
"But instead of putting it off for a week, wouldn't it be possible to get 70 points, or even 60 points?"
"It's impossible."
"why? You can just direct like you were preparing for the final stage. "There is no need to prepare choreography or performance this time."
"Still, it's impossible."
"… … ."
"The reason we were able to grow at Coming Up Next was because we were isolated."
Pocheon.
Accommodation without visitors.
Take Scene right next door.
Lots of cameras and crew filming us.
A competitive atmosphere that permeates every air you inhale and exhale.
Han Si-on, who was counting them out one by one, looked around at everyone and said.
"There's no way you can digest that right now. "Everyone is excited about success, right?"
"You don't know until you try."
"I tried it. many."
"With us?"
"no."
"You've never done it with us."
There was quite a long silence, and Han Si-on asked as if sighing.
"I could be really disappointed. "Because of that week."
"Let's try it though."
"Everyone thinks the same?"
The members agreed.
"Then cancel everything. A week's schedule. "All the YouTube filming and indie performances."
Finally, the faces of the Sedalbaekil members brightened.
It was a decision that would have shocked show business producers.
Luckily, I became the center of attention, but I chose to suspend my activities during the golden time.
Just to improve the quality of the sound source.
However, three months and a hundred days were chosen, and Han Si-ion agreed.
like that… … .
A week passed in a flash.
