‘Sorry but I Love You’, the title song of KK’s debut album.

The follow-up song is ‘You’. Originally, this was a song that should have been the title song. Therefore, although it is now used as a follow-up song, ‘You’ was a good enough song.

It is true that it is realistically difficult for a rookie to win first place or create a big issue with a follow-up song that has already been released. Therefore, it was inevitable that I would prepare with less effort than the title.

Moreover, in the case of KK’s follow-up song promotions, the decision was made hastily as the title song received a better-than-expected response.

The company’s position was simply that since the song was so good, they should release it if they could achieve the best results possible.

“It’s good too, isn’t it?”

Jeong Yoon-gi said after watching the choreography video. It was a choreography that suited the mood of ‘You’ well.

Choreographer Noh Yoon-tae, who is in charge of Hit Entertainment’s dance lessons, was also a famous choreographer in Korea. Because he was like that, he was able to complete decent choreography in a short period of time without much trouble.

Considering the tight schedule, the difficulty level was lowered slightly compared to the title song’s choreography.

‘It’s true that this is good enough… It’s not a song where choreography is the main song anyway. But it also seems too weak…’

Overall, positive reviews were received, but in fact, the choreography was not worthy of praise.

Dowook was troubled.

There was a real problem, so it was impossible to just raise an opinion about improving quality. Considering the current schedule situation, it was excellent to perform on stage with this level of quality.

Team Leader Sim Jun and Director Oh Baek-ho also took that into consideration and commented that it was okay.

Team leader Joanna had no other comment. This was because Joanna, the fan-marketing team leader, was not the part to touch.

“First, learn the choreography from the video. “At least we will start practicing this weekend.”

At Team Leader Sim Jun’s words, the members gathered their spirit and said, “Yes!” I answered.

Next, Team Leader Shim spoke to Noh Yun-tae.

“I think I can make a schedule for Mr. Noh and give it to Director Oh.”

“yes. “Director Oh, then I will send you the practice schedule tomorrow.”

“Yes, please.”

Preparations for the follow-up song performance continued quickly.

***

Small conference room inside the fan-marketing team office.

Dowook was sitting on one side of the large table. Team Leader Cho took out a vitamin drink from the personal mini-fridge he kept in the conference room. After taking out his own, he turned around and asked Dowook, who was sitting in his seat.

“Do you want a drink?”

“it’s okay.”

After politely refusing, Dowook straightened his posture. Team leader Joanna sat across from Do-wook.

“Did you say nineteen?”

“yes.”

“I went out hard to try to kill him, but he didn’t die?”

Dowook did not answer and waited for the next words.

Team Leader Cho was a person with nothing to regret. People who do things because they want to, and who are born with a background that allows them to take their hands off their hands and play and eat at any time. Dowook never thought that such a person would be similar to other employees.

“Okay, that gang. I couldn’t watch my singer go somewhere and be depressed. “I don’t think I’ll go around like that.”

“……thank you.”

It was an ambiguous word to call a compliment. Joanna narrowed her eyes as she saw Do-wook thanking Do-wook for words that could have made her feel bad. It was definitely not an average bet as rumored.

Team leader Joanna had a mindset closer to that of a CEO rather than a team leader.

Agency and affiliated celebrities. Before debut, the agency is A and the trainee is E. When we first begin our activities, it is a symbiotic relationship in which we run together and hope for success. But at some point, the relationship could turn over.

Therefore, the battle between talent agencies and their celebrities tended to get worse as the celebrities became more popular.

I was supposed to monitor the broadcast, but today was the first time I met him in person. Nevertheless, Team Leader Cho was able to immediately estimate the size of Do-wook’s bowl.

Personally, I liked Do-wook, who made direct eye contact, but team leader Joanna did not intend to accept Do-wook entirely.

Moreover, Dowook was a key member of a new idol group that took first place shortly after its debut. It was a perfect position for conceit.

“Did you say you wish there was another channel to communicate with your fans?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Have you thought about anything?”

“As I said, there are limits to what can be shown through broadcasting alone. I like the photos the members took themselves, and I thought it would be a good idea to upload videos… things like their dorms and waiting rooms. To approach fans in a friendly way….”

“In places other than fan cafes?”

“yes. In the case of fan cafes, only fans come to visit. “I think it would be good to edit the video and upload it in the same place as that video site that was recently created.”

“Itube?”

“That kind of place.”

Team leader Joanna took a sip of her vitamin drink and put the bottle down loudly.

It was a story that was consistent with the direction the fan-marketing team was recently thinking about for KK’s marketing.

Team leader Cho also thought that unless it was a large agency that could take over the interest of the existing fandom, KK should emphasize friendliness rather than a mystical concept.

“The more you see and encounter it, the closer your heart will inevitably become.”

Dowook added. Dowook was right.

‘You can’t expose it by pushing it to multiple broadcasts, so why not create a channel through the Internet? Not only is it creative, but the content presentation is perfect!’

Joanna’s eyes lit up. The way to manage celebrities was one thing, but the work was another matter.

Even if you don’t want to accept everything, Dowook’s story was a story you had no choice but to accept. It was to the point where I wanted to scout for the fan-marketing team. Of course, he was too much of a star to be employed as an employee.

“Kang Do-wook?”

“yes.”

“Your opinion is useful.”

Team leader Joanna stood up first. Do-wook also stood up and bowed his head to team leader Joanna.

“Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to listen to me.”

“under!”

Team leader Joanna was stunned by Do-wook’s polite greeting. He may have been really upset now, but Do-wook remained steadfast until the end.

Team leader Joanna became embarrassed by Do-wook’s attitude.

A thought crossed Team Leader Joanna’s mind that perhaps Do-wook is not just someone to fight with, but a person who should really be with the entertainment industry until the end.

However, the person in front of me was only nineteen. I needed to wait and see more before making a hasty judgment.

“Shouldn’t it be me who says thank you?”

“No, team leader.”

“Okay then. See you soon.”

Team leader Joanna walked out of the conference room first, making the sound of shoe heels. It was still an arrogant attitude, but Dowook felt a subtle change in tone.

***

In the practice room, the members were divided into two categories.

Jung Yoon-gi, Kim Won, and Ahn Hyeong-seo were checking the tomorrow’s performance of ‘Sorry but I Love You’ while Park Tae-hyung and Seok Ji-hoon were checking the choreography of ‘You’ by watching the video on their laptop.

Before going into full-scale choreography practice, it was very helpful for the members who are good at dancing to become familiar with the choreography first. This was because it was easier to lead inexperienced members.

The title song performance has now become quite familiar, so all members can relax. Ahn Hyeong-seo, who has a lot of talent, even posed with ad-libs from time to time.

“Dowook, are you scolded?”

When Ahn Hyeong-seo found Do-wook, he ran over and asked.

“No, bro. “They said they listened to my opinion carefully and reflected it.”

“really? thank god.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Park Tae-hyung, who did not show much, but was most worried about Do-wook and was anxious, was also greatly relieved.

It was when Do-wook took a breather and headed towards the water purifier to drink water.

Taehyung Park came to Dowook’s side.

“…It’s me, Do-wook.”

“Oh Taehyung. why?”

The gap between Taehyung Park on stage and Taehyung Park off stage was still significant.

Whenever Do-wook saw Tae-hyung Park, he would directly feel the power of singing. Now, when Taehyung Park sings on stage, I can even feel his charisma.

However, in normal times, Park Taehyung was still a timid and delicate person. Taehyung Park paused for a moment and then spoke to Dowook.

“Well… there’s actually something I’d like to ask you for.”

“ask?”

Taehyung Park’s ‘favor’. It was something difficult to imagine.

“I almost learned the You choreography earlier…”

“Already?”

It was only about an hour that Do-wook left the practice room to visit team leader Joanna. Surprisingly, Taehyung Park memorized the entire choreography in about an hour. Even considering that it was not a difficult choreography, the speed was surprising.

‘Talent is truly amazing.’

As I looked at him with an admiring face, Taehyung Park scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.

Dowook waited patiently for Taehyung Park, who hesitated in speaking.

“I feel a little empty.”

“I guess you felt that way too.”

“Oh, you too?”

Park Tae-hyung was surprised by Do-wook’s words and asked back. Dowook nodded slightly. The choreography created by Noh Yun-tae was not bad, but it was undeniable that it had some regrets.

“In the refrain, ‘Okay, I like you, I-’ This part.”

“Oh there.”

“…Can I change it?”

In fact, the original Taehyung Park would never have thought of changing the choreography created by the dance lesson teacher and choreographer of the song.

However, Park Tae-hyung had just seen Do-wook convey his opinion in front of team leader Joanna without any hesitation. Whether he knew it or not, that image remained in Park Taehyung’s heart.

Whenever Do-wook needed something from the team, he would convey his opinion without hesitation to the manager, Baekho, the composer, or the team leader. It was an action for the team, and many things went well thanks to Do-wook’s opinions.

When it came to dancing, Taehyung Park had an insight that was close to instinct. The more he looked at the choreography, the more he couldn’t erase the thought that it was too ordinary as it was.

While Do-wook went to meet team leader Joanna, while watching the choreography video, Tae-hyung Park realized that he, too, wanted to do something for the team.

“How do you want to change it?”

“Ah… that…”

Park Tae-hyung paused for a moment in response to Do-wook’s question. I didn’t have any specific thoughts yet. It was a big adventure for Park Taehyung to even think about changing it.

Looking at Taehyung Park like that, Dowook smiled as gently as possible.

“If you have better choreography, you can tell the teacher that we can put it in.”

“Is that so?”

“of course.”

“Uh… I think it will work out quickly if I try it out…”

“You can take it slowly. “Anyway, full-scale practice starts this weekend.”

Taehyung Park nodded.
