Damn Idol Episode 109

* * *

The method of registering a sound source is complicated, but looking at the context, two procedures are required.

First, register the singer.

Second, register the sound source.

Of these, the first was the more labor-intensive and complex procedure.

It is quite cumbersome, especially when registering a copyright holder for the first time.

However, Sedalbaekil's music was released by Coming Up Next and is already registered as the copyright holder.

So, registering music was something that could be done in an instant.

As long as there is no external pressure from Ryan Entertainment.

Of course, if Sedalbaekil had registered the sound source when Yang Seok-hoon's video broke, Ryan had no way of doing anything about it.

However, the golden time was missed for three months and one hundred days.

Although it's only a week apart, a week is a huge amount of time in the world of show business.

A person who was a national hero may be criticized by the entire nation, and a person who was criticized may become a hero.

"Oh, this is true."

So, the person in charge of the Eumjeo Association was worried.

I'm not sure if it's okay to delay the sound source of 3 Months 100 Days.

To be honest, I wish something complicated like this wouldn't fall into my hands.

In any case, Ryan Entertainment also lobbies the higher-ups through the Singers Association, not itself.

'It would be nice to just have a cause... … .'

Even so, it's an iron rice bowl, so if you have an excuse, the higher-ups will rub it in and move on.

The person in charge was thinking about that.

A quick arrived out of nowhere.

"Quick? to me?"

When I received the quick mail, I was told that Sedalbaekil had enclosed the documents needed to register music 'just in case'.

This is absurd.

I would have submitted it through the website or email anyway, so why send the same content via quick mail?

'Besides, how did you know I was in charge?'

Are you telling me to behave well because I am being watched?

If that were the case, I would definitely feel repulsion... … .

"uh?"

Then the person in charge noticed something.

Documents delivered quickly.

The document bag containing it.

The envelope had the symbol of a large law firm that most Americans would know about.

When I looked through the pile of documents later, there was a power of attorney at the top along with a business card.

It states that Sedalbaekil has appointed lawyer Choi Ji-woon of the law firm as its legal representative.

In that case, this was not a document sent directly by Sedalbaekil, but a document sent by a law firm.

But this is nonsense.

Why on earth does a huge law firm that cleans up the dirty work of the conglomerates help out every day of the month?

Even if we could help, why would there be any reason to bother with something as trivial as registering music?

At that moment, an assumption passed through the person in charge's mind.

'Did you give a reason?'

He also searched the history of lawyer Choi Ji-woon on the Internet.

And without a second thought, I passed the three-month-old music source.

'crazy.'

He is the son of a prosecutor and the grandson of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

I tried to call the number on the business card just in case, but stopped.

I couldn't bring myself to ask the prosecutor's son if he was Sedalbaekil's legal representative.

Instead, I called the law firm and the answer was YES.

It's real.

Attorney Choi Ji-woon is the legal representative of Sedalbaekil.

No, how much money does Sedalbaekil have to hire someone like this to register music?

Whatever it is, I know that large law firms do good work.

Because they gave themselves justification with a document envelope and a business card.

If Sedalbaekil was given this much credit, the higher-ups wouldn't be able to say anything.

The person in charge thought so, but he misunderstood two facts.

First, the justification was not given by the law firm.

It was given to me by Han Si-on.

Because it was all Hansion's idea.

Second, Han Si-on did not use lawyer Choi Ji-woon to register the music.

He was painting a bigger picture.

If CEO Choi Dae-ho had known of Choi Ji-woon's existence at this point, things could have been a little different.

But that didn't happen.

So, Hansion's plan was progressing smoothly.

* * *

As we enter the third week of release, the fight between Drop Out and NOP has reached its most interesting point.

In week 1, NOP won.

Because NOP's was #1 on the weekly charts.

But that doesn't mean Drop Out has retreated in vain.

They were firmly holding on to second place and were aiming for first place.

If the charts were in favor of NOP, music broadcasting was in favor of NOP.

Four of the three public broadcasters, including M Show, are prestigious music broadcasting stations in Korea.

"NOP! congratulations!"

The two groups split the first place in the music room into two each.

"Drop out! congratulations!"

In the second week, things started to get mixed.

Drop Out won on the music charts.

It took first place on a weekly basis and was first on the daily chart for 5 days.

However, in music broadcasting, all four stations sided with NOP.

It was a situation where fans of both teams had a lot to say.

-The public sentiment is strong with the charts haha. Music shows are given as a justification to coincide with the release date.

-You bastards have no conscience haha.

Drop Out's fandom said that although they won based on the weekly charts, the music show took care of NOP's pride.

-Don't you know that it literally applies in the first week lol?

-When Out of Thrones lost on the music charts and was 50/50 on the music charts, they said the music room was important haha. Look at Naero Nambul haha.

NOP's fandom showed the aggregate score of the music room and concluded that they had won.

Fierce conspiracy, trickery, politics, and fighting took place on the stone tablet... … .

-Music rooms have been fun these days.

-ㅇㅇ It's been a while since I've seen you, but Drop Out and NOP are still doing well.

The public just enjoyed it.

It was only fun because both songs became popular picks.

It is rare for a first-tier boy group to be active at the same time.

And so the fateful third week arrived.

As of this week, Drop Out concludes its music activities.

NOP will also leave for an overseas schedule after finishing activities early next week.

So, week 3 was the last time the two teams would face each other.

Someone said that it was a drop out of the music source and a NOP in the music room, but that is not necessarily true.

There is a high probability that the music room for this parking lot will be split half and half.

Music broadcasting stations also don't want to deal with major entertainment companies, so they reach an agreement among themselves.

Stations closer to BVB would probably side with NOP, and stations closer to Double M would side with Drop Out.

So what really mattered was the music chart rankings.

-Hey, I'm looking forward to week 3.

-Don't you think muggle picks have a stronger dropout?

-After 4 weeks of eating it, I feel like my muggle skills have weakened a bit.

-is it?

-ㅇㅇ This is correct.

-Both songs went back and forth between 1st and 2nd place for an entire month, so they're Goats haha. The atmosphere is fierce.

-If NOP hadn't been added, the Dropout fandom wouldn't have been like this haha.

-I guess the same goes for NOP? If it wasn't for the drop out, I would have been satisfied and supported.

-But it really seems like Han Si-on is a bitch. How can you compose both songs?

-People who don't know anything about music suck at composing music. In stone tablets, arrangement is more important. So, even among Produce members, there is a difference between top liners and strong Produce.

-Have you been to a temple stay somewhere? No communication these days?

-?? I didn't do it. why?

-Han Si-on composed and arranged both songs. What are you talking about?

-No, but why are you so quiet these days? The water has come in, so why are you sleeping on the boat?

-ㅋㅋㅋ That's why the fan reaction on the third day is really fucking funny.

-What?

-He complains that he needs to lose the company, but he doesn't know where the company is lol.

-Crying that you can't beat up the members like that haha.

- Let's see if they prepare episode 2 of Jacon. Haha. But what is the name of the 3 Months 100 fandom?

-None hahaha This is also one of the reasons why I want to sell the company, but I still don't know the company.

-Why do I know so well hahaha

-Because I am the one who wants to beat up that company.

-Are you crying?

So people's attention began to focus on whether the winner of the third week would be a dropout or a NOP.

In the meantime, there was talk about Han Si-on's ability to create both songs.

But when the third week's lid was opened, something completely unexpected happened.

Sedalbaekil announced their participation in the music war by releasing .

-;;;; No, why does the creator play the game;;;

-Can I think of it as a composition of a person who is chewy vs. a novice developer?

-But for a beginner, didn't you win another game competition?

-Coming Up Next? Take Scene won that one.

-Oh, that's right hahaha I'm sorry. Take Scene won.

- Strangely, I have the feeling that Sedal101 won haha. While preparing for Take Scene's debut, the only thing that came out was the story of Sedal101.

-Didn't Take Scene say that they would debut within 2-3 months? Hasn't he debuted yet?

-It seems to me that it's counting down, but Drop Out and NOP are making a fuss, so it seems like it's been delayed a bit? LOL.

-But there must be a lot of idols who postponed their comebacks to avoid this mess haha.

-Cheer up, Tdeokdeoks. For reference, Tension and Wepple were released in August.

-Hahahahahaha

At this point, people were just laughing and enjoying Hansion's 'developer' position.

No one seriously thought that Sedalbaekil would be a rivalry between the two groups.

But no.

charted at number 21 on the first day of release... … .

-omg?

-What??

Because it rose to first place the next day.

It was the beginning of a disaster.

* * *

It was clear that we had missed the golden time for music release.

However, the three-month-one-day crew forcefully held on to the golden time that had left.

Not through issues, but through skills.

To be honest, I was also very surprised.

I didn't know that the members would be able to put in this much effort even after leaving the program called Coming Up Next.

I think I have to admit it now.

These are not the people I chose, but the people I met by chance... … .

The 100th day of every month is special.

I'm not talking about talent as a singer.

To be honest, the talent of the Sedalbaekil members is at the bottom level compared to the team members I have met so far.

Even if we assume that their potential is in full bloom, the fact that they are in the bottom tier does not change, except for Koo Tae-hwan.

But the mentality is different.

I don't know how this happened.

I knew that K-pop idols were sincere, but were they all like this?

If I face another regression after three months and 100 days, will I be able to meet these team members again?

Honestly, I don't know.

I don't think so.

I used the expression that potential is in full bloom earlier, but I have never met a teammate with full potential until now.

The process of getting there is very painful, and usually people are satisfied with moderate success.

Among those who formed a team with me, only one person had full potential.

me.

Running on the same treadmill in non-linear time.

but… … .

Maybe a crew for 3 months and 100 days would be possible?

All the time, the trust I had in people betrayed me without exception.

But that thought occurred to me while recording Resume.

I want to trust you one more time.

No, let's believe it one more time.
