All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

009. Boy! please do it with him!

Song Jae-ik looked at the expressions of the people around him.

Although they were obviously preparing for busking, very few people showed expressions of anticipation.

Most of them sighed or moved to other places.

‘I’m going to spit out a noise or a quack again.’

‘Ugh. I came to rest, but I can’t even rest properly.’

Even though I couldn’t read her inner thoughts, it was showing through her facial expression.

It is said that the expectations for busking are low.

“But in case you don’t know, let’s go and listen. There are some really good buskers out there.”

“Well, um. okay. It’s okay to move after listening.”

Song Jae-ik smiled slightly at a couple’s quarrel and slowly put his hand on the keyboard.

“uh?”

And the couple who were arguing about moving to another place.

Even the people who sighed and left their seats frowning.

Everyone sat back in their seats as if possessed by something.

It wasn’t as loud as other buskings. It’s a volume that can be let go if it’s just a little out of the way.

A very familiar piano melody that I have heard somewhere.

But the people who listened to the piano were definitely feeling it. It is the song of spring that winter has passed and is approaching.

so one by one

Even those who are tired of the noise and looking for a quiet place. People who felt the mood of early spring while riding their bicycles stopped one by one and enjoyed Song Jae-ik’s performance.

A very short time, less than 3 minutes.

The audience, which had been six, had almost doubled.

And when the performance was over, people could not easily take any action due to the afterglow of the performance, and Song Jae-ik gave enough time for the audience to enjoy the afterglow.

clap clap clap-

And at the applause that started from someone, Song Jae-ik lightly lowered his head and said.

“Is this song familiar to everyone? Song of Spring by Felix Mendels John. It could be a song that goes well with the current season.”

“Uh…?! Isn’t that ramen?!”

And among the audience gathered one by one, someone who had seen Song Jae-ik’s You Tube exclaimed in surprise.

“yes. Ramen is right. Today it’s just piano and guitar.”

“yes? What about the guitar? Do you play guitar too? I want to hear more piano playing!”

“Right! I loved playing the piano!”

Maybe it was because the lingering sound of the piano performance was too deep. People wanted to play the piano, but Song Jae-ik put on his guitar and laughed lightly.

“Because I am a novice busker, I might get nervous and make a mistake if the order is not prepared. I also practiced hard recently, so please listen carefully. I’ll play the piano one more time as a finishing touch instead. The song to be sung this time is Yoo Jae-hak’s Give Your Power.”

I waited for Song Jae-ik to play with an expectant expression unlike before, perhaps because of the strands that Song Jae-ik showed on the piano.

Still, the expectation that if I play the piano that well, I won’t be able to sing well.

“Was it hard today? Give me strength.”

As soon as the first words of the song began, the audience who were listening to Song Jae-ik’s song opened their mouths as if at a loss for words and closed their eyes to fully appreciate the song.

Yoo Jae-Hak’s “Cheer Up Your Strength” was a song that was synonymous with consolation, but it was also a song in an inviolable realm that no one could easily digest.

“Even if sometimes life wears you out and hurts you.”

It’s like a whisper, but a voice full of appeal, and a clean high-pitched and low-pitched tone.

People who had been waiting for the words of the song with half anticipation and half worry gathered around Song Jae-ik to listen to the song even a little closer with their eyes wide open.

In order to be comforted by the song even a little more.

Just as Yoo Jae-hak, who comforted the hearts of the people in the past, did.

And one of the many spectators.

clean gray hair. horn-rimmed glasses.

An old man who looked like he was doing art no matter what anyone saw, was watching Song Jae-ik busking with an interesting expression.

—

Yoo Jae-Hak’s You, Cheer up, the next song is Alone. And a total of five songs, including songs by other singers.

While singing those five songs, busking’s audience, which started with a single-digit audience, was already moving toward a triple-digit audience.

It was literally an amazing experience. The fact that more than a hundred people are listening to his songs is true. It is also warmly welcomed.

“Looks like I need to finish it now.”

“Ahh! I just came to listen!”

At the word finish, the audience gathered around Song Jae-ik expressed strong regret.

It was because it was a very short busking that lasted only about an hour including the piano performance and conversation.

“It’s a pity too, but today isn’t the end, and we plan to do busking often. Please come and enjoy whenever you have time. As written on the sign in front of you, you can listen to my songs on the You Tube channel, and I think a busking announcement will be made here.”

At that, the audience listening to Song Jae-ik’s performance started looking for Song Jae-ik’s Youtube written on the board and clicking the subscribe button.

Busking of such a high level was always welcome.

“Now, how about something for the closing song?”

“Finally, play the piano! I was waiting for you to play the piano earlier!”

Song Jae-ik smiled and nodded at the words of the audience who had been listening to his song from the beginning of the busking.

“Do you know a composer named Tchaikovsky?”

The old man, who was about to leave his place with the name Tchaikovsky, stopped his steps to return with his eyes shining.

He had an afternoon schedule, but to himself, the composer Tchaikovsky was someone who could catch even the passing footsteps.

At the same time, there were no high expectations. Although it seems that he showed playing the piano before Yoo Jae-hak’s song.

Yoo Jae-Hak’s songs are definitely well sung, but those are popular songs, and Tchaikovsky’s piano pieces are classics.

Just a classic in this kind of busking.

It was just that I liked the behavior of the performers playing Tchaikovsky’s songs and watched them.

Maybe when the performance started and the level came up, I would just feel a little satisfaction and leave.

“I’ve heard the name!”

Song Jae-ik played a little bit of Tchaikovsky’s songs that many people will surely know.

“Swan’s Lake!”

“yes. This is one of Tchaikovsky’s ballet pieces. But the song I’m about to sing right now isn’t Swan Lake.”

Song Jae-ik nodded and recalled Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of Flowers.

I’ve been looking for and listening to a lot of classical music, starting with Beethoven, but personally, I thought this song would be the most suitable for my current situation.

“We will play Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker.”

The Waltz of the Flowers is one of Tchaikovsky’s most famous waltz.

When Song Jae-ik started playing, the old man’s eyes shone.

“ah!”

The old man was unable to take a step.

The fingers on the keyboard were moving softly, gracefully, and lightly, as if they were playing a waltz of flowers.

Not just playing from sheet music, but playing with depth. By freely moving both hands on the keyboard and adjusting the dynamics, the atmosphere of the song was clearly brought to life.

The old man, who was about to leave after hearing only the beginning of the performance, calmed his startled heart and fully enjoyed the waltz of flowers.

The performance that is unfolding right now is one of the best performances I have heard recently.

“ha.”

When the end of a performance that I had been so focused on that I couldn’t breathe, the endless applause of the people continued.

‘Who is your disciple? domestic? no. Are you studying abroad? Germany? Or Russia? If he’s this talented, there’s no way rumors wouldn’t have spread.’

The old man, who belatedly escaped from the afterglow of the music, rummaged through his pockets.

I wanted to have something like a business card that I could hand over to that pianist, but there was no way it would come out, and the only thing I could get was a ticket and a business card representing the place I belonged to.

“You played well.”

“ah. thank you.”

The old man had already left while Song Jae-ik, who had received the business card and ticket, was checking the business card.

“what? Did you get street casting? Great. Where is the agency like this?”

Um Kang-seok, who saw this, made a fuss, but Song Jae-ik shook his head.

It was because it was written as an agency, not an entertainment that is commonly known.

“It just seems like a small business. Is this the first place you’ve heard of? It’s not entertainment, what kind of agency?”

“Yes, you should be careful of scams. Don’t throw away the business card because you still don’t know. That way you don’t get scammed by similar companies. Let’s get this sorted out quickly.”

Eom Kang-seok replied with a regretful tone, saying that the steam was leaking, and Song Jae-ik put the ticket he had given him along with his business card into his pocket and organized his luggage.

“By the way, I don’t think it would be bad to upload today’s video as a separate short content of Yoo Jae-hak’s song.”

“okay? It’s not difficult to just pick one song and upload it. Because I don’t have to do much editing. Why not upload it today?”

—

“You seem to be in a good mood, sir.”

The middle-aged man in the seat next to him saw the happy expression of the old man in the car and asked cautiously.

Even though the old man had a schedule for an afternoon concert, the reason he visited the Han River during his spare time was because he was immersed in mannerism.

“right. I found an unexpected treasure while walking. It made me feel a lot more refreshed.”

“A treasure?”

“right. It is a treasure that is sure to be seen by anyone. Of course, it’s still buried in mud, so unless you’ve seen it, you wouldn’t know.”

“If it were such a treasure, please introduce it to us, right?”

“I had your business card in my pocket, so I handed it to you. If you receive a call from an unknown number, answer it. I gave you tickets for my next concert, so if you want to see it, come.”

At that, the middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and clenched his fists.

The word treasure. Considering the position that an old man has, it was a word that could never be uttered easily, so he thought that his ability would be excellent.

“thank you. If you’re a piano player, there’s no way you wouldn’t watch the teacher play. All tickets for this show are sold out.”

“I think today’s performance will go very well. It feels good.”

As the old man remembered Song Jae-ik’s performance, he leaned against the seat of the car, feeling that things that had troubled him and bothered him until now calmly sank to the bottom of the water.

Muse Entertainment.

“ha. Is Evie okay?”

Director Park Han-kyu answered with a bigger sigh to CEO Joon Kim’s sighing question.

“Haaa. You know, what are you asking? When preparing for a new album, you’re so sensitive that you can’t even talk. oh really.”

“Dude, the way you treat the CEO is very arrogant!”

“Then, CEO, would you like to be Evie’s manager?”

At the words of Park Han-kyu, CEO Kim Joon raised a different story.

“Hmm. Still, there is no other child like you to entrust to Evie. Does the sum fit well? So what’s the problem this time?”

“They say there is no singer to entrust the featuring.”

“Featuring? No, it’s a singer who is widely spread, and I don’t think there’s any singer who would refuse if Ebi asked for a feature, right?”

That was the position Ivy had. In addition to his activities as a singer-songwriter, he is literally an all-rounder and all-round entertainer in the entertainment industry, including entertainment, commercials, and acting.

Literally in name and reality, she was one of the best solo female singers in Korea.

From the perspective of Muse Entertainment, which is not large, Evie’s existence itself was literally close to a benefactor.

“Then what do you do? I heard there is no voice that I am looking for.”

“voice?”

“I’m looking for a voice with a strong appeal that feels like a singer Yoo Jae-hak…”

At those words, Kim Joon sighed and covered his forehead.

I mean, it’s Yoo Jae-hak.

Although there may be many similar voices, he was a singer in an unrivaled position where it could be said that there is absolutely no singer like Yoo Jae-hak.

Because Yoo Jae-hak’s appeal and singing ability were like that. I can’t hear it now though.

“The song I’m working on right now is the title song…. isn’t it?”

“yes. This is the eighth track out of nine songs. If this goes on, it will be over. As the CEO knows, Evie’s personality.”

An indescribable perfectionist.

Fans always cheered for Evie’s unstoppable album, but from the agency’s point of view, it was heartbreaking.

In addition, this regular 5th album was all the more so because it was scheduled to release a regular album in 6 years.

Moreover, it was all the more so because of the symbolism of the 10th anniversary of Evie’s debut.

The original plan was to export it at the end of last year, but it’s already passed the year.

“You won’t give up easily, will you?”

“You know. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll find it and find it and release it, but I can’t guarantee the period.”

The moment Kim Joon was about to let out a big sigh.

bang-

“CEO!”

The door to the representative office burst open, and someone rushed to the desk with quick steps.

“Huh!”

Evie held out her cell phone as if she didn’t care at all about the startled, ambiguous CEO.

“What?”

“I found it! Boy! Please do it with him!”

At that, Evie turned up the volume on her phone to maximum.

[Even if sometimes life exhausts you and hurts you. Give me strength.]

“what is this.”

The fact that the speaker that comes out now is a cell phone.

In addition, the sound quality was not very good because someone recorded it with a cell phone. There is also a lot of noise around.

but nonetheless. Obviously, the singing voice coming from the cell phone was absolutely unusual.

“Who is this?”

“Well···. Youtube’s unknown algorithm?”

“wait.”

Joon Kim searched Yoo Jae-Hak’s “Cheer Up You” on Youtube and started looking for a video similar to the one in the video.

“You can sing like that, but there’s no way you’re not a YouTuber. obviously where… oh Is this?”

While searching for the channel name written on the promotional sign in the video, Kim Joon could not erase his question.

No matter how you look at it, it was because it was a channel name that felt too distant from the song.

“Challenge Everything?”

“Chall… what? Could that be the name of the channel? Frog.”

I agree with Chief Park Han-kyu, but now, rather than evaluating the channel name, the song came first.

“Ramen?”

“Ramen? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

At CEO Joon Kim’s words, Evie turned the monitor around as if she was frustrated, but only five images were visible on the monitor.

“uh? Ramen?”

And one of them, oddly enough, was a ramen video. What’s even funnier is that the ramen video has a significant number of views.

“no no. It’s not ramen, but anyway, play the busking video first.”

And when I played the video and hit the arrow keys on the keyboard a few times, the song started.

As if the video had just been uploaded, the upload time was less than an hour, and it was not a full video at the same time.

Literally, only Yoo Jae-hak’s song is edited and uploaded.

However, a clear sound quality that was incomparable to that of a mobile phone a while ago came out of the speaker.

[Did you have a hard time today? give me strength Even if sometimes life wears you out and hurts you.]

“ah.”

It was this voice. The appealing singing ability he was looking for.

“her.”

As soon as Kim Joon heard that voice, he felt goosebumps run down his arms at once.

“why?”

“What is he? Isn’t this kid a celebrity yet? Are you good at singing like this? I don’t think it would be more fun if you listened to it yourself. Besides, I think Yoo Jae-hak and his voice are similar.”

It was a strong conviction. Still, a certain certainty as a person who has risen to the position of president in this industry.

“Yes?! anyway! I want to meet this singer.”

“good. If it’s a singer that helps the album, it’s worth meeting. But it’s Evie. Did you mention this singer by any chance?”

“uh?”

Lee Bie recalled that she was so happy when she saw this video before running to the representative office, that she had linked the video to her personal gram.

“Ugh. really.”

Song Jae-ik’s Nutube comment window, displayed in real time by CEO Joon Kim, was filled with comments from fans who said they had seen Evie’s personal gram.

“Well. If possible, it would be better to leave a comment on the official video, right?”

At those words, Kim Joon sighed and shook his head.

“I would do it even if I told you not to.”

It was because it was obvious that he would do whatever he wanted even if he told him not to do it anyway.

“answer!”

Evie smiled naturally and quickly touched the screen of her phone.

—

“Ooh. be hard Busking is not easy.”

The day after busking. Song Jae-ik muttered as he lay his tired body on the sofa.

A day passed, but the feeling of excitement and tension was a feeling I could never forget.

“Let’s do another busking the day after tomorrow.”

Um Kang-seok, who was silently looking at his phone with a serious expression next to Song Jae-ik saying something, patted Song Jae-ik on the arm with a surprised expression and pushed the phone screen.

“Hey, look at this.”

“What?”

On the screen Um Kang-seok held out, there was a comment window for the video of Yoo Jae-hak’s song that he edited and uploaded earlier.

[Official EVY: Found!]

At the top, there was a short but powerful comment by a singer.
