Celebrity Life Misunderstood as a Genius

[4] Reverse Betting(4)

Wrong judgment that continues from time to time.

Some of them were just really bad luck.

There were various reasons such as infidelity, school violence, gambling, drunk driving, and dating rumors.

I just couldn’t explain it with words that I had bad eyesight.

Because of the unlucky scandal, it was ruined several times.

“Hyung, why did you do that?”

“Let’s have a drink first.”

I continued the conversation over a glass of wine with my younger brother, a golden spoon.

“No, is alcohol important now?”

“Then what does it matter?”

“Of course the sound source is important!”

New girl group Solar’s digital single ＜Only Look at Me＞ Approved by the head of department

.

In the end, they trusted taste, touch, and senses and enforced adverse selection.

Because the judgment I made when the back of my head was itching was 100% wrong.

“I heard that the chief of staff has already been approved.”

“Oh, I guess.”

“Really, why did you do that?”

“…”

Jaeha, other people don’t know, but you shouldn’t say that.

He said that it would be better to choose only the opposite, saying that I am the king of destruction.

“I just thought this was right.”

“…”

In fact, I was able to bet on reverse even at my previous company.

It was the first time that public affairs depended on unscientific tips.

“What’s the reason? How did you reject producer Heo Chan-sung?”

“It’s a bit weak.”

“What’s weak is weak! How many hit songs does he have!”

“…”

Other than him, new composers are weak.

“Do the Solar members know? Who broke the song?”

“If I knew, I’d eat a dog.”

Even if you are like me, if you say that you rejected composer Heo Chan-sung’s song, you start off cursing.

I was well aware of how precious the opportunity to network with a rookie girl group is.

“I feel sorry for the Solar members too.”

“Ehh.”

If it was only because of the jinx that the future path of young people was ruined.

Wouldn’t it be okay to beg for food on this floor from now on?

“Since when did you say my brother was a critic?”

“Shut up and salty.”

“Hyung, you didn’t bet on the reverse after listening to me, did you?”

“… Am I crazy?”

“Whoa, I think it’s because of me again.”

This shack, it’s ridiculous.

It’s unnecessarily sharp.

“Brother, but Solar made a really good choice.”

“Why?”

“If you’re Luna’s manager, you’ll just be busy. What’s good about that?”

“That’s a golden spoon-like idea.”

“Huh?”

A rich man like you wouldn’t be very impressed even if he received performance pay equal to his monthly salary.

Dream Agency grew rapidly with an incentive system.

Of course, the merged Q&G label maintained the same policy.

Even now, there are only one or two employees who have turned their eyes away because they want to improve the company’s performance.

“Jaeha, your sister said she went into your father’s company.”

“Uh, as an intern.”

“How long has it been since you finished the exam?”

“You skipped that exam.”

“…”

Belt-

I was in the middle of drinking, but a message came from team leader Park Chul-min.

[Come to work on time at this address tomorrow morning]

[Room 512, Culture Building, 24-5 Dobang-daero, Gangnam-gu]

Looking at the address, it is the office building of the Q&G label, a practice room.

It was a place where the members of the debut group stayed longer than the dorm.

“I think Solar is going to enter the schedule soon.”

“Hmm, hyung is the manager of a girl group. It’s kind of strange.”

“You were still the manager?”

“You only took on male actors, except for one actress.”

“…”

I hope you have a strong taste.

“Anyway, from now on I will support Solar, not Luna.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“Because Luna’s showcase is next Wednesday at 2:30pm…”

“… Just call it the moonlight fan club.”

“Is that so?”

“…”

Luna’s debut group included SNS star Ryusia.

The odds of Solar being more successful than them were extremely slim.

No, honestly, I think not only our Solar members but also our debut song will be ruined.

However, I didn’t have the confidence to confide my feelings to anyone.

They would laugh at me if I said that I chose the opposite because I liked the ‘tact’.

He scratched the tickling back of his head and let out a sigh.

‘Haa, if it goes down because of me again…’

This road is not for me.

It’s time to quit.

* * *

Originally, the existence of an idol was a bit ambiguous even in the entertainment industry.

I can’t sing better than a solo singer,

I can’t dance better than a professional dancer,

Average appearance is lower than that of an actor.

Even if you have all those talents, will you be able to fly?

About 40 idol groups debut every year.

Only a few teams survived.

Although all of them are practicing and improving their skills while pouring sweat.

Most slowly or quickly fall out of public attention.

“Yeji, you practice vocals every day, right?”

“Yes, teacher.”

“hahahaha, the tone is so good.”

“…”

The fatal flaw is that the vocal range is too narrow.

It was difficult to get attention with tolerable music.

“But I think it’ll be fine if you choose the song well. Like a hook song without high notes.”

“Oh really?”

“Well, it’s not my responsibility to select music sources. I don’t have anything to say.”

“…”

A rookie idol is one who collapses at the slightest blemish or opportunity.

After going through a tough end-of-month evaluation and camera test, he was selected for the debut team.

‘I have to do well.’

As the main vocalist and leader, his shoulders were heavy.

Perhaps, even if you debuted, if you weren’t popular, there wouldn’t be much difference from living a day.

The difference between a singer who sings for an event and a singer who doesn’t is the difference between heaven and earth.

“Guys, the new manager is here for the first time today, so say hello.”

“Yes, teacher!”

“Manager Jeong Soo-ho, everyone must have heard the name, right?”

“I heard.”

Yeji thought it was really fortunate that her first manager was Jung Soo-ho.

Because they are the only employees in the company who believe in their future and talent.

Even her close trainers put Luna’s chances of success much higher.

She was the first person to tell her that her solar would rise more than Luna.

That’s what I said proudly in front of the chief of the Gong Se-won.

‘Suho, Jeongsuho… Their names are pretty too. Like a guardian angel.’

Should I say it feels like discovering my precious No. 1 fan?

I never wanted to disappoint my manager.

“Sisters and sisters! I heard that the Luna kids are adjusting the movement of the stage right now.”

“Was her debut next week?”

“Yeah. They’ve already got a celebrity locker.”

“We’ll get it soon too.”

For Solar, today was also an important day.

The day she finally decides on her long-awaited debut song.

“If we debut, will we be able to use our cell phones in the dorm?”

“Yeah. They say they’ll let you go once you debut.”

“Wow, I’ve been so frustrated all this time.”

Soon, Yeji encouraged her members and left the training room.

When will Team Leader Park come?

He was thinking of calling him on his office phone.

“Jeong Soo-ho, what happened yesterday was your mistake.”

“…”

Team leader Park Min-cheol and manager Jung Soo-ho.

I accidentally overheard the conversation between the two.

“You didn’t have to say that in front of the manager.”

“Sorry.”

“Sorry, it’s not a problem.”

“…”

She tried to avoid her seat because it seemed like a scolding situation.

She listened to the conversation and found that she had a connection with them.

“It was right to leave the choice of her solo debut song entirely to the manager.”

“I thought that song was the best.”

“Can I take responsibility?”

“Yes, I will resign if I can’t launch Solar.”

“What?”

For a moment, Yeji was startled and hurriedly covered her mouth.

What kind of song did you choose so that you were prepared to leave the company?

“I think this is my last chance.”

“…”

How did you think of them as precious?

It wasn’t that there weren’t managers who cared about artists.

‘As many of us…?’

She was the first to recognize the potential of the members who were always pushed by Luna.

Artists and managers who grow by trusting each other.

Wouldn’t it be a wonderful partnership that I’ve always imagined in my head?

I was just a trainee who hadn’t debuted yet, and was treated as a second group by the company.

I have to work even harder for my manager.

If you practice like that, one day a good day will come.

“Well, let’s go in and say hello.”

“Yes. Chief.”

Yeji Kim hurriedly came to her senses and went back to her practice room.

* * *

Although she hadn’t thought about leaving the company in the first place.

I am also a person with a conscience.

If the reverse bet fails, you should leave this floor.

It’s just that I’m a person who shouldn’t give a fuck in the entertainment industry.

In a situation where Luna was the correct answer, no matter who looked at it, she chose her solo.

She discarded the song Chansung Heo and chose a song by a new composer.

‘First of all, let’s cool down and do whatever we want.’

Anyway, my goal was to grow Solar.

In order to succeed, I just follow the sense of ‘going to fail’.

“Greetings, this is Road Manager Jeong Soo-ho.”

“Hello—!!”

I slowly checked the 5 members of Solar’s debut group.

Leader Kim Ye-ji and second Jang Eun-seo are visual members.

There was a charm unique to a girl group that was different from that of actresses.

‘The real thing is better than the picture.’

I heard that Luna is a girl crush and Solar is an innocent cutie concept.

The group atmosphere is brighter than I thought, so I think I will have a taste for work.

“Wow, we got a manager too!!!”

“How old are you?”

“I’ll call you brother.”

Contrary to expectations, the members’ actual visuals and balance were overall okay.

It’s not very good, it’s just mediocre.

I was taken aback because my expectations were so low.

In particular, the fourth member who is of mixed American race and has the best body.

They said they were only trainees for 6 months, but the ratio was fraudulent.

‘And, the youngest name was Somi.’

I was worried because it was a middle school lunch meal.

Actually, the ratio itself wasn’t bad.

Instead of being tall, his face is extremely small.

“… No, wait a minute.”

What, one person is a bit suspicious.

“Hey, what’s the state of your muscles…?”

“Yes? Me?”

Yang Joo-hee, you can be a trainer instead of an idol.

“Some girl group members seem to be able to score 3 to 300.”

“Ah, that’s normal.”

No way.

“…He looks healthy.”

“Oh, you know what?”

Not a compliment

Well, it seems that even the man will win if they fight each other.

Who would want to become a fan of such a girl group member?

“Kuhm.”

At that time, team leader Park cleared his throat a couple of times and then whispered in his ear.

“Yang Joo-hee, stop me from exercising in the future.”

“…”

The manager has nothing to say.

Even the brain was filled with muscles.

“Then why didn’t you stop it until now?”

“It just happened after I broke up with Luna.”

“Yeah?”

Does that mean it has been neglected since then?

If that’s the case, why don’t you pick them in the debut group?

“That friend, even if left alone for a week, will build up his muscles.”

“Ah.”

Look at what kind of muscle growth there is.

‘It’s dizzy.’

Are girl groups and helchang really suitable words?

I have to throw away the protein I brought to the practice room right away.

“Anyway, everyone gather around. I’ll start with the song.”

“Like!”

“Play it quickly, I think I’m going to go dizzy.”

“I’m so looking forward to it.”

Soon, team leader Park manipulated the audio installed in the practice room.

A rhythmic beat resonates in the spacious practice room.

The lyrics of the dance song, which roughly fit into the melody, were really annoying.

And so is the melody.

The introduction is okay, but the chorus is far from my taste.

‘Eh, I don’t know again.’

No matter how bad it is, my touch has never been good.

“Wow, the song is really good, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, the chorus was so well written. I keep thinking about it.”

“Is this a song by a new composer?”

“Is this a talent…?”

The response is better than expected.

The music composition market is also very red ocean, so hundreds of songs compete for one song.

In particular, in order to satisfy the ears of A&R affiliated with mid-level entertainment.

“I’m glad everyone says it’s good.”

“Thank you, manager.”

“Yeah?”

Soon, trainee Yeji Kim looked at me with her eyes twinkling.

“A hook song, did you choose it because of me on purpose?”

“No.”

“I’m weak in treble, so I’m trying to cover up my flaws.”

“What are you talking about…”

“Thanks.”

“?”

I wonder if this is something to be thankful for.

First of all, it was fortunate that the members of the debut group seemed to really like it.

It might change if you know that the competing song was a song by producer Heo Chan-sung.

“Hey, but didn’t you say we were two songs?”

“Oh, yes.”

Although, in fact, I could have hidden it if I wanted to hide it.

It was a fact that would soon become clear.

“Me, the team leader, and A&R talked about it and chose this song.”

“Well, this song is good…”

“The other candidate song was a song by producer Heo Chan-sung.”

“?”

In an instant, the air in the practice room froze coldly.

“… Who?”

Especially, looking at the blushing expression of the second chapter.

If you do well, you might get hit by one today.

“Producer Heo Chan-sung?”

“Wow, that’s over the line.”

“Why, why. Uh, why…?”

“Ahhh. It’s ruined.”

“Manager, where do you live? Please give me the address.”

“… Why is that?”

In the chaos, only the leader took my side.

“Hmm, the manager must have had an idea, right?”

“Sure. Of course.”

I had an idea, but the reason is a bit cocky.

“I thought the song itself was more important than the composer’s reputation.”

“Right? I was counting on you!”

“Thank you.”

“Of course you thought this song would be popular, so you chose it, right!?”

“…”

It’s just the opposite.

* * *

A few days later,

The effects of bad luck appeared faster than expected.

And that too in a very immediate and sure way.

Since morning, I have been staring blankly at news articles, unable to keep my mouth shut.

[Famous composer Heo, charged with inhaling marijuana. A police official who caught the circumstances of the attempt to destroy the evidence…]

“Oh my God, Solar almost got screwed before even making his debut.”

Is this the unchanging law of luck or something?

Heo Chansung’s song explodes like a ghost because he thinks it’s good.

“I thought the new composer’s song would be a bit weak.”

That one was really ‘drug’.
