chapter 16
“no. Enough. Rather than thinking of making a debut after completing it, you can make it debut when it passes the minimum Maginot Line, and then develop.”
Jiyoung Lee was right. Not all singers or idols debut after perfecting their skills.
Like Lee Ji-young said, once you pass the minimum margin, you have to debut and continue to grow.
It means that we should apply that method to Yuna now.
“It seems like a good idea. It may be difficult as the period is tight, is that okay?”
“no way. CEO Choi, you don’t know me too much. This is Jiyoung Lee. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a stimulus, so I’m rather excited.”
Indeed, Lee Ji-young’s face was flushed red.
And Yuna’s training began in earnest.
“You can’t do that! tell me how many times I don’t get it?”
“no! I will try again!”
Literally, like catching a mouse, he pushed Yuna.
What was unexpected was that Yuna followed Lee Ji-young’s guidance well.
The reason was simple.
“omg.”
When I first started lessons, I worked with Arin once.
It was all captured on my camera.
The only thing that came out of Yuna’s mouth after checking the video was that one word.
“sister. sorry. If I continue like this, I will catch my sister’s ankle…
No, I don’t think I can even say something like let’s do it together.”
Yuna, who was sullen, spoke to Arin with moistened eyes.
The gap between the two confirmed in the recorded video was more than expected.
The tone is good. However, the synergy caused by the harmony did not come out.
Despite Arin trying to match Yuna as much as possible, a very unstable chord broke out.
It was a problem that came from a huge skill gap. And there was only one solution.
Yuna is just improving her skills.
It was from then.
No matter how much Lee Ji-young whipped her, Yuna gritted her teeth and fiercely followed.
“Haven’t you called home yet?”
“no way. Don’t even mention the house.”
As soon as the story of the house comes out, Yuna’s face hardens.
But it is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed.
To enter into a contract, you must have the permission of the family.
Even if you become an adult, you won’t be able to make your debut without leaving the ticking time bomb of conflict with your family.
No, rather than that, there was a high possibility that the contact would come from Yuna’s house first.
Yuna looked at the camera in my hand for a while before asking.
“And until when are you going to film everything?”
“why? I’m thinking of making a channel for Yuna’s challenge as a singer, like Arin’s Music Box.”
“Ugh. It’s too cheesy. And the content is too obvious. I get scolded every day. crying in the corner Singing again with red eyes and gritting teeth.”
Yuna was right.
Because what occupied most of the video was Yuna being scolded, being crushed in the corner with tears in her eyes, and Yuna gritting her teeth and working hard to overcome the wrong part.
But besides that, there was another Yuna in the video.
Yuna smiled happier than anyone else in the world at Lee Ji-young’s compliment that she had gotten better.
Yuna jumps from her seat and is delighted at her improved self-development in harmony with Arin.
Yuna’s appearance was also included in the video.
It’s not that I’m busking like Arin, so why did I film this video?
I think there will be something useful to write about later.
And that idea came true within a few days.
There was something more important than money in a common family.
Just honor and face.
Compared to the past, the image of a celebrity has improved a lot, and the income has increased, but that is a story that only works for ordinary people.
There was a high possibility that celebrities would not be tolerated by Yuna’s family.
So, how to overcome this difficulty?
After a lot of thought, the way I found was to film the growth process of Yuna like Arin.
It was when the office phone rang loudly that my thoughts about Yuna stopped.
Normally, if I had a business, I would contact you on my personal phone rather than the office phone.
With that thought in mind, I picked up the receiver.
“This is WH Entertainment.”
– I’d like to talk to the representative, Choi Woo-hyuk, for a moment.
“I am Choi Woo-hyuk, the representative. Please tell me.”
– There is someone who wants to meet Choi Woo-hyuk. Regarding Choi Yuna.
I took a moment to organize my thoughts at the words I heard over the receiver.
I thought I would get in touch someday, but it came sooner than I thought.
The faster the hawk, the better. It was the first thing Yuna had to solve in order to achieve her dream of becoming a singer.
“great. Just tell me the time and place, and I will be on time.”
– How about 3 p.m. today?
“yes. You see.”
– Then I will send the car and the person to the company.
This means knowing where the company is located. The investigation of the scale must have already been completed.
Perhaps the investigation into Choi Woo-hyeok may have ended.
After the call, I opened the drawer and took out a tablet PC.
*
KW Group.
It started as a small local construction company. Starting with a small business called KW Construction, Choi Geon-wook jumped into the apartment construction business.
20 years.
It took time to grow from a small business called KW Construction in the province to a group.
Choi Geon-wook, the chairman of KW Group, felt very uncomfortable right now.
It’s not because of the company. He has only one problem lately.
My youngest daughter was the problem.
“I told you to cut off the money line right away!”
“I am your daughter. So please treat me a little warmer. It’s not like the kid leaves the house because he always bullies me. that little boy.”
“Kuhm.”
He screamed in anger, but quickly subsided.
It is Chairman Choi Kun-wook who hears the voices of cold-blooded entrepreneurs and corporate hunters only outside.
Inside, he was just the husband of a woman. I often hear nagging like now.
It was unavoidable because the place that helped KW Construction grow to the KW Group was the mother-in-law’s family.
“And if you are not going to study abroad after graduation, stop talking nonsense about getting married.”
“Hmm. honey. That’s all I’m saying because I’m thinking of my daughter…”
“You know what you don’t know about others, but it’s useless to me, right? That’s enough. Don’t you know that if you keep being greedy, you’ll get sick?”
“Let’s eat…”
It was a good spot. As for the story that the chairman of Daesung Group implicitly asked, what would it be like to have a wedding right after graduation?
It’s not about money. In terms of cash alone, KW Group was known as a cash rich group that could not be pushed back by any domestic group.
but.
“I know that if you tell me about his group history one more time, I will leave the house too.”
history was sad.
KW did not have the footsteps that other conglomerates have built because they were created by themselves.
That’s why, no matter how much money you make or how much cash you have, you can’t hide your resentment at the strange feeling of being ignored when you meet.
So when I hinted at the first person in charge of the electronics division at Daesung Group, he said it was right and suggested it to my youngest daughter.
What came back was the answer of my daughter, who had run away after looking like me.
“How long are you planning to leave the child outside? I can’t sleep at night because I’m worried.”
“You still recognized me.”
At first, I thought it would come back before a month had passed.
Like my wife said, I thought it was a temporary rebellion because he treated me so harshly.
But it’s already been over two months.
Deciding that I should bring him home now, I picked up the spoon.
“President. The invited guest has come.”
“Hmm. tell them to come in.”
So called.
To see what kind of bastard lost his mind and waved a rattle to the daughter of this world’s Choi Geon-wook.
Houdae is fine.
However, according to what I found out, only Hou-dae was fine.
In the industry, rumors are called negative hands.
It is said that the ability is quite recognized. But bad luck followed like a tail.
Staying until the end, taking care of the people who followed me, and starting my own business was worth giving points.
“Greetings. President. My name is Choi Woo-hyuk, who is the CEO of WH Entertainment.”
“Sit down.”
Choi Woo-hyeok brought up the main topic before he even sat down.
Controlling the baseline is an important law.
“If you’ve come this far, you’ll know who I am. I heard about it from the youngest member of the family, so you should know what it was called for.”
“yes. President.”
Just by not trembling in front of oneself, the first impression passed. No, this is not it, I thought and continued.
“Do you know how many guys came to us to make our maknae different like you? And that they rolled their tails and ran away in less than five minutes?”
It was a threat. Threat to literally destroy the company if you continue to seduce the youngest.
Are you fearless? Or maybe he thought he had nothing to lose because he was a one-man agency, but he was calm.
Unlike the guys I’ve seen so far. They had so much to lose that they couldn’t even look at their faces properly.
“I know very well that the President will not hear me no matter what I say. So, I have prepared.”
“what?”
What Choi Woo-hyuk took out of his bag was a tablet PC.
“What is this?”
“I brought it because I really wanted to show it to the president. Even though it was a short period of time, it contains the hours of effort that Choi Yu-na and Yang have accumulated so far.”
“Hmm. so? Did you think that I would be moved by that and give permission?”
“no. I think you can continue to oppose it.”
“Then what is the purpose of giving it to me?”
There is no answer coming back for a while. The moment Chairman Choi Kun-wook tries to get annoyed with stuffiness.
“I just wanted to show you. How fiercely Choi Yuna is working hard to achieve her dream. How happy they are even in the midst of that hardship.”
Hearing Choi Woo-hyuk’s answer, he leaned against the backrest for a moment.
And after organizing my thoughts, I continued.
“Then would it be okay if I call you back after watching these videos?”
“yes. Then I’ll be out for a while. President.”
As soon as I heard the sound of the exit door, I turned my gaze to the tablet PC.
Then I turned on the power and played a video.
“If you’re going to do something like this, get out of here! My time teaching is a waste!”
“I’m sorry. I can fix it.”
In the middle of the video, I almost picked up the phone because I couldn’t stand the sight of my daughter shedding tears at the instructor’s shout.
Bring the guy who left out back in.
However, that anger quickly melted away as he continued.
“You worked hard, Yuna. look at it Because you can do it.”
“teacher···”
The instructor was right. After watching the following video, I heard the song of my daughter who has improved significantly.
And the moment I saw my daughter smiling the happiest in the world at the instructor’s praise.
“Mmm.”
I couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
without taking your eyes off the screen.
It came to mind.
How happy he was when he found a small office and won a contract.
When I broke into the raw material and went in with two chickens.
The appearance of my youngest daughter as a newborn baby that made me forget all the hardships.
“teacher! I can do it. I’ll try a little more!”
I didn’t know.
The youngest, who felt young, grew up quickly and was running to achieve his dream.
Just like your past self.
I thought they were kind or rebellious at home.
The various images of the maknae in the video make it impossible to take your eyes off it.
– President. It’s time for the afternoon meeting. Shall we prepare?
“it’s okay. Tell them to hold a meeting today and report only the results.”
The first video is over. Normally, I would have gotten up from my seat and attended the meeting even in the middle.
The hand goes to the next video. Then, anger at the appearance of being scolded again. Sorry to see you cry. He smiled at how happy he was.
Unknowingly.
On that day, Chairman Choi Kun-wook did not appear at the meeting for the first time.
