ALL NOVEL chapter 30
[30] Stage constitution (2)
At first, it was a private fan cafe made with a light heart.
The hyung I’ve been close to since childhood is a celebrity who hit the jackpot.
[Welcome to Sun Goddess Solar’s fan cafe, Sunlight! ^^]
Jaeha looked at the number of members and put on a satisfied expression.
Solar’s fan base was gradually growing.
Her official fan club has 20,000 paid members.
She made ＜Sunlight＞ Herself.
Number of members.
“… I’ve already taken 80,000.”
Currently, it was the largest fan base of the 4th generation girl group in Korea.
Of course, there were a lot of fakes and anti-fans.
“Hmm, not easy.”
Having a large number of members means that it is difficult to manage.
It was a job that only rich unemployed people like himself could do.
Click, click-
Jae-ha saw the occasional bad comments and wrote her impression.
“Eh, because of these guys.”
Suho hyung must be so worried.
Naturally, there were fans of other girl groups who were jealous of Solar.
There are intelligent antis who pretend to be fans and make people curse.
In particular, fans of Isolation have been on the rise lately.
Because of Solar, I gnashed my teeth for ruining her image.
‘Yeah, who said he liked trash?’
She spent her time erasing obnoxious comments or appointing a new manager.
Is it because the fan meeting is only a few days away?
Ticket availability was the biggest issue.
This is why a good wallet warrior should buy thousands of albums.
‘The albums hidden under the bed…’
I can’t throw it away, how should I deal with it?
I also gave half of it to members for free.
Giik-
Then, the sound of the door opening in my ears.
Jaeha pressed ‘Alt-Tab’ faster than light.
“… Umji Yu?”
“What, did you watch porn?”
“Ah, please knock.”
“What is knocking?”
“Go. I thought Daddy was here again.”
“Ugh.”
Her sister let out a sigh when she saw the civil servant Yin-gang on her screen.
“What are you doing without studying?”
“Ah, now Sol…”
“Tsk tsk, oppa is still immature. Learn from Suho oppa.”
“Yeah your face.”
Actually, I was thinking of telling Jiyu today.
It was unlikely that he would keep his secret from his father.
“Brother, do you know the number of the legal team manager at my dad’s company?”
“Uh. You know.”
“Send some to me. He’s changed into someone else.”
“What is his number?”
“I’m going to sue for malicious comments.”
“… Sue?”
“It’s annoying that you keep posting bad comments in the sunlight.”
“Um. I see.”
Maybe the manager of the cafe will contact you?
If you get caught by Dad, you’ll be beaten really badly.
“It’s Jiyu.”
“Uh?”
Jaeha rebuked her younger brother with a solemn expression.
“What if rumors spread that you sued a fan?”
“Are you a fan of hate comments?”
“Hmm, first of all, you’re a member of the fan club. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Of course. How uncomfortable must the members and Suho be?”
“Yeah. That’s a bit troublesome.”
I’m going to have to roll some cafe managers.
I have to work hard on management.
“I recognized it. Sunlight took care of it very hard.”
“How does your brother know that?”
“My younger brother is the fan manager. Even if it’s annoying, I should join a Solar fan, what should I do?”
“What is it, why are you acting like an older brother all of a sudden?”
“Uh huh, you’re going to be an older brother to your brother.”
“… They are playing.”
It must have been more stressful than I thought while being a fan manager.
‘I’ll have to hide it from Jiyu for the time being.’
First of all, I sent a text message to Suho asking him to keep it a secret.
“Ugh, the sunlight is annoying.”
“…”
Jiyu frowned as he checked his smartphone.
Perhaps he stopped by the Sunlight Café frequently to check the comments.
“Anyway, the guy who started the cafe in the first place is the problem.”
“Um… Isn’t he a bit like that to people he doesn’t know?”
“Dog bastard, just get caught by me. I’ll kill you.”
“…Doesn’t it have to be killed?”
“Whose side are you on?”
“Whose side are you on?”
Of course it’s on my side
* * *
＜Top Idol＞
After filming,
A moment of peace came, albeit for a brief moment.
For the time being, all we have to do is prepare for the fan meeting and awards ceremony stage.
“Where’s Diana gone?”
Hearing my question, Yeji responded quickly.
“I’m making a new song in the recording studio.”
“… Now?”
“Yes! I will prepare a new song until the awards ceremony.”
“Not even a fortnight left.”
“They say it’s because they missed out on winning first place on the last stage of Top Idol.”
“…”
Does it mean that you will write a song in at least three days, considering the amount of practice time?
Usually, well-known producers release one song a week.
“First of all, the fan meeting comes first. Let’s just think about that.”
“Like.”
The rest of the members were informed of the upcoming fan meeting schedule.
“Look at me first, I’ll start with the stage of the arranged version.”
“And what?”
“Q&A and…”
Most of them were fans who had bought hundreds of albums.
If you’re unlucky, no matter how much you buy, you’re out of luck.
“Some of the participants will even have a 1:1 fan meeting.”
“Is that 30 seconds per person?”
“Right. And I need a guest.”
“Hmm, by any chance, how about senior Blacky?”
“Well.”
I don’t know if Solar’s fans will appreciate the male idol guest.
Trururu—
First of all, I called to ask if there was a schedule.
– This Is Blackie Here. Wassup, Bro?
“… I want to quit already.”
-Wow, he’s Suho’s younger brother!? For what?
“Do you have any time on the weekend?”
– Then, of course it’s fine. Shit
“Ah, that’s great. Then.”
-Did you believe that? Jelt Kick!
“Oh… Good job.”
Pop.
I hung up because I thought I would get annoyed if I kept calling.
I seriously contemplated whether to even block it.
‘It’s crazy.’
At least, the friendly Luna might be better.
If I meet my boss at the office, I’ll ask.
At that time, Yeji, who had been listening silently next to her, spoke to me.
“Hey, manager.”
“Yes?”
“Diana is going to the recording studio now.”
“Why?”
“I already finished the song.”
“…”
Damn fast
“I already made the beat and just added the melody.”
“Then let’s go together.”
“Like!”
I went straight to the recording studio with the members.
There is a soundproof wall, but the subtle music tickles the ears in the hallway.
I opened the door to enter the recording studio where Diana was right away.
“Wait a minute.”
An annoying accompaniment came from the studio next door.
A tickling sensation creeping in from the back of the head.
“Children, go ahead and wait.”
“Yeah?”
“I have something to see.”
“Ah yes!”
As if possessed by something, I knocked on the door next to the studio.

Knock, Knock-
Along with a knock, a soft voice came from inside.
“Who… Manager Jung Soo-ho?”
“Mr. Lucia.”
I heard that Luna’s leader is versatile.
She sings, dances, and composes everything by herself.
“What are you doing?”
“Hey, Shia, were you playing the guitar?”
“Ah, that, yes. hahahaha.”
“That song…Composed?”
“That’s actually what I wrote while thinking of Seo Yeon-jung.”
“…”
An acoustic guitar melody that breaks the stereotypical frame.
He scratched the itchy back of his head and asked to play.
“Can I hear it one more time?”
“Ah yes!”
Really, the more I listen to it, the more I hate the type of music.
A humming song amid a shrill guitar accompaniment.
The harmony of the two notes that didn’t go together tormented my ears.
“Did you just deliberately create dissonance?”
“No, that’s wrong.”
“…”
Even though I don’t know music, I have ears to hear.
It’s because my tastes are a little extreme.
“Shall we put that song in the CEO’s album?”
“Yes!?”
“I’ll make a recommendation.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
Popular music composers are largely divided into two styles.
Like Diana, she’s the type to lay out the accompaniment and beat based on music theory.
Like Ryusia, she hums the words and lyrics while writing the melody.
‘Both are important.’
There was no point in distinguishing which came first, the chicken and the egg.
Isn’t it the modern music market where co-composition is becoming a trend?
“Xia-san, please send me the sound source.”
“I-Is my song that good…?”
“Uh, um. That’s right.”
To be honest, it’s very annoying to hear.
Because the reverse angle is sharp.
“You’re recognizing my music. Just like Diana!”
“…They’re both similar to me.”
“Wow, great.”
Equally bad
* * *
Seo Yeon-jeong, the CEO, listened to Suho’s recommended songs along with the composers.
It’s a sound source that you might just pass by even if you listen to it normally.
It was a strangely addictive song the more I listened to it.
“How is everyone?”
“It’s a song that goes well with the CEO.”
“I feel the same way.”
Yeonjung’s musical style had a unique charm.
So, it was difficult to find songs that fit her but were of a high level.
She insisted on sweet but catchy, contradictory music.
“Where did you get it?”
“I do not know.”

Knock, Knock-
“I’m coming now.”
Soon after, manager Jung Soo-ho entered her office.
“Wow, as expected Manager Jeong Soo-ho.”
“It’s worth trusting.”
“It’s better than the majors.”
Suho touched the back of his head as if embarrassed by the composers’ praise.
“You’ve been listening to the music I sent you.”
“I’m even thinking about the title song.”
“… Aha.”
Of course, as expected, Suho puts on a calm expression.
Even though it is the title track of Seo Yeon-jung’s regular album.
‘I’m sure.’
Because she has 100% trust in her own eyes.
You’re probably scratching the back of your neck indifferently.
“Russia wrote this song?”
“Yes. But I left the arrangement to Diana.”
“It’s good.”
Girls who are like jewels of the Q&G label that just debuted.
In the meantime, it threatened the position of the 1st headquarters, which had been the ‘pillar’ of the company.
‘… It’s fun.’
Not to mention Solar, which quickly emerged as a trend.
Even Luna, who has been recording good growth lately.
Only one person raised both teams to the rock.
“Manager Jeong Soo-ho.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Thank you for helping me with the album.”
“I’m glad it helped.”
“Let me know if you ever need my help.”
“Thank you.”
Having said this, she probably didn’t feel like asking for help.
Usually FM style doesn’t move even with money like that.
“Ah! I heard there is a Solar fan meeting on the weekend?”
“Yes. CEO.”
“Has the guest been decided?”
“I’m thinking of Luna for now.”
“Add one more to it.”
“Yeah?”
She is one of the best female singers in Korea.
She didn’t even attend the fan meeting of Jet Kick.
“I participate myself.”
“?”
The songwriters around her looked at her with their eyes raised.
“… The representative himself?”
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
“No. Thank you very much!”
“Thank you.”
In the eyes of others, it could be seen as CEO Seo Yeon-jung’s favoritism.
“Then coordinate the schedule and report it to Chief Gong.”
“Yes. CEO.”
The light fluttering of a butterfly’s wings sometimes turns into a typhoon.
* * *
The eyes of the people at Headquarters 1 in the office next door were unusual.
They say that the queen is coming as a guest at the fan meeting.
“Jung Soo-ho, you really are a madman.”
Manager Park shook his head and said.
“Is it a compliment?”
“It’s a special compliment. I only thought of Luna as a guest.”
“Me too.”
The team leader rubbed his bald head and continued the conversation.
“The queen participated as a guest. Isn’t she almost a hostess?”
“Nothing bad.”
“When are you going to tell the kids?”
“I’m going to go and tell you now.”
“Everyone will freeze.”
If CEO Seo Yeon-jung is nice to you, the kids will like it too.
I was afraid that I would make a mistake during the fan meeting stage, so I started practicing hard.
“I’ll go to the practice room.”
“Yes.”
I went straight to the practice room and checked the members.
“Um, is this a new song?”
Diana’s new song prepared for the Baeksang Arts Awards ceremony.
First of all, I think Somi would be more suitable than Yeji for the treble part.
‘… It’s inconvenient.’
The tickle on the back of the head was not unusually uncomfortable.
The half-singing method that you practice these days is still incomplete.
“Hey, kids.”
“Yeah?”
The members stopped practicing and gathered.
“Our guest is confirmed.”
“Luna?”
“Uh. But there’s one more.”
“… Senior Blacky?”
“No.”
He doesn’t even try to look at it.
“CEO Seo Yeon-jeong.”
“?”
Because he was such an unexpected person, the members fell into a state of cognitive dissonance.
“That’s right. Our queen.”
“OMG.”
“Is it possible?”
“It was possible.”
“Great.”
Yeji clasped her hands together and opened her mouth.
“Did the manager invite you?”
“…Is that so?”
“Wow.”
In fact, you were recruited yourself.
“Is it really that even the CEO admits it!?”
“Yes, now Sol…”
“Manager Jeong Soo-ho!”
“…”
It’s your fan meeting, not mine.
Tiri-Ri-Ring-
Then, I got a call from an unknown number on my phone.
“Anyway, practice hard. Don’t make mistakes on stage.”
“Yes!”
I immediately left the practice room and pressed the call button.
“Hello. I’m Jeong Soo-ho’s manager.”
– I’m the head of the persimmon headquarters.
“Ah yes.”
Not our head, Seok-tae Gam, head of the 1st headquarters.
Previously, the line of managing director Kwon, who disbanded the management team 4.
Isn’t it a relationship that has no choice but to be a bad relationship from the beginning.
-Manager Jeong Soo-ho, speak directly.
“What are you saying…?”
– How would you like to transfer management?
“…”
Of course, it must mean taking care of the 1st headquarters artist.
The back of my head didn’t itch, but the answer was fixed.
“Sorry, that sounds difficult.”
-… Won’t you regret it?
“Yeah.”
– We’ll see.
Is it because of the strong backing at Dream Agency?
There was a strange confidence in the other person’s voice.
* * *
A few days later
I headed to the fan meeting place with the members.
‘Director Gam Seok-tae, I’m still worried.’
So far, there hasn’t been much change.
It was an intrusive opponent like a ticking time bomb.
Oh, the back of my head is itchy.
“Manager, what do you think?”
“Huh? Nothing.”
Yeji opened her mouth without hiding her uneasiness.
“Your expression has been looking very serious for a while.”
“Do you have a lot of tea?”
“Yeah.”
Yeji always checked my mood.
Could this be the reason for my disqualification as a manager?
“I’m a little sorry.”
“No. It’s fine.”
“…”
Yeji spoke in a dark voice.
“Because of your perfectionist personality.”
“I?”
“You don’t like the new song. My singing method.”
“…”
Not because of that.
“For now, let’s just focus on the fan meeting today.”
“Yes!”
Today, the CEO is also participating as a guest.
The members should show what they are good at.
