When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar - Chapter 39

# 39

Sensation (3)

“You don’t even say hello to your senior?”

Dowook saw one or two people silently resting on their legs and making noises.

If I were to take a photo with the theme of the end of an idol singer who was neither popular nor talented, I felt like I had to take a photo of two people holding cigarettes and shining dirty eyes. It looked that pathetic.

“sorry. “I didn’t realize it.”

“what…? I don’t know?! “Can’t you see anything?”

“Hey, leave me alone.”

When it seemed like the sound was going to get louder, the other one looked at the people around him and pretended to stop him.

Although the music industry has its own senior-junior relationship, Do-wook did not feel the need to be polite to the two people in front of him.

It wasn’t a matter of popularity or skill. It was a matter of becoming.

At that time, Oh Baek-ho, who was looking for Do-wook, called Do-wook.

“Do-Wook!”

When Director Oh Baek-ho appeared, the two people hesitated and took a step back.

“What are you doing here?!”

“Oh, I came to say hello to teacher Kim Woo-yeon, but she wasn’t there.”

Do-wook deliberately pronounced ‘Teacher Kim Woo-yeon’ clearly and in a slightly louder voice.

Only then did the two people who were arguing realize that the reason Do-wook was ignoring them was because of Kim Woo-yeon. But that was all. In fact, he wrinkled his expression as if he was even more annoyed.

“okay? Let’s say hello later and go to the waiting room to change clothes. But…were you talking?”

In response to Oh Baek-ho’s question, Do-wook looked at the two people from the corner of his eye.

The two people were already losing their energy due to Oh Baek-ho’s physique and atmosphere. Typically, these were characters who became weak in front of strong people. Dowook shook his head.

“no. Let’s go, hyung.”

“okay.”

Oh Baek-ho, who was leaving the hallway with Do-wook, looked back after taking a few steps.

“Can’t you see this is a no-smoking area?”

“What does it matter…”

The two people, who were about to refute what it mattered, closed their mouths and backed away when Oh Baek-ho frowned.

Later, Do-wook was able to spot Kim Woo-yeon preparing for the stage when it was his turn, but Kim Woo-yeon was overly sensitive ahead of the stage. Dowook didn’t go out of his way to say hello because he didn’t want to ruin his stage preparations.

Looking at Kim Woo-yeon like that, I just thought that since we were nominated for first place together, I should prepare a little harder for the stage so as not to be embarrassed.

***

The stage order was KK, who had a comeback stage, followed by Kim Woo-yeon, who achieved the miracle of turning around the music charts for two weeks in a row.

Seolreim, who is still active as the mascot of Life Song, introduced the two on stage with a powerful voice.

KK’s stage was much more perfect than during rehearsal.

The first song was ‘Something’, which was pre-recorded. KK was broadcast on stage decorating the stage in light, sporty clothes with lots of color. Compared to his debut, he used his facial expressions much more freely and his understanding of the camera seemed to have improved.

About 200 KK fans were mobilized for the pre-recording. About 200 people were excited to see KK, waving cheering tools with KK’s logo on them. Even the sparkling blue waves were expressed as one.

And the stage of ‘Very Sorry’ which was broadcast live.

Not only was the sound source a sound source, but there were so many people who were captivated by the performance in the music video. In addition, with Kim Woo-yeon’s rise to first place, a wider spectrum of the public was watching Life Songs than before. Many music fans were paying attention to see what KK’s stage would be like.

‘This is also an opportunity to attract fans to this stage.’

Dowook thought as he waited for the lights to turn on and Jeonju to play. Soon, the prelude to ‘Very Sorry’, which I had listened to countless times over the past few months since I started composing, flowed through the air.

Kyaaaaaaa!

KAYKEEEEEE!

A loud cheer for KK rang out from the audience. With shouts, the lights turned on and illuminated the KK members. Six people wearing suits and standing in a line were captured on one screen.

The KK members moved their bodies, feeling the thrill of that moment with their entire bodies.

The comments section of the streaming site used by those watching the live broadcast was on the verge of exploding with stories about KK.

-You’re crazy! It’s crazy.

Who are the kids on stage now?

-K-K!!!

-I have a key ring starting today^^ 1 day with K.K^^ -Who

knows the name of the cute girl who just passed by? Redhead

-I’m curious about my boyfriend’s name~? It’s Taehyung Park~

– Clap clap clap clap

– It’s no joke;;; The group dance is amazing…

-Are these a traffic light? The hair color is crazy

– Kang.. too.. wook.. ㅠ ㅠㅠㅠ (Last words of life)

– He’s a rookie, but he’s really good on stage. There is nothing more important than performing well on stage…

This was the beginning of ‘Very Sorry’, which would elevate KK to the status of a huge star.

And the only moment left is the announcement of first place.

After Kim Woo-yeon finished the stage, the entire cast, starting with the MCs, who appeared on Today’s Song of Life came up on stage to announce the first place.

Among them were two people I met in the hallway in front of the waiting room. The two people and their team members were located in a corner where cameras rarely came. Dowook, who was walking to the front row, made eye contact, but the two soon turned their heads away.

With the male MC and excitement in the center, Kim Woo-yeon and KK members lined up on either side. The KK members looked at the VCR showing the scores with flushed expressions. The faces of the KK members were captured on the screen.

On the other hand, Kim Woo-yeon had a calm expression. Since the performance was over, my nerves had calmed down a lot.

Kim Woo-yeon was also a person whose name was unknown for a long time. In times like these, I thought I would be thankful just for being number one for two weeks.

“Then who will be the singer who will enjoy the honor of taking first place this week…!”

“1st place… 1st place…!”

The score was captured on the screen. Kim Woo-yeon had higher broadcast scores and music scores.

“First place is – KK!”

Pollen exploded along with a sound effect, and the subtitle ‘No. 1′ appeared on the screen where KK’s face was captured.

Seolreim presented the trophy along with a bouquet of flowers to Jeong Yoon-gi, the leader of KK. It’s only been 3 months since debut, but I’ve already received several trophies.

All six members gathered together, hugged each other, and shared a brief look. Although only six people were visible on the screen, it was a time to see KK’s teamwork.

Jung Yoon-gi grabbed the microphone to give his acceptance speech.

In fact, Jung Yoon-ki was worried about various things before his comeback. Since the debut album did well, there was pressure that the first full-length album should do even better. As the song came out and I was preparing, I was confident that it would do well, but I also felt anxious that even though everything was perfect, it might not work out.

It was also true that I felt a certain sense of responsibility as a leader while watching the members working hard, especially Dowook, who participated a lot in the album and worked harder than anyone else.

Jeong Yoon-gi’s eyes became red.

“It’s true that I had a lot of worries… Keyring, the fans who gave us the honor of being number one for our comeback week! thank you!”

When the fans’ names were called, the audience shook once again. The voices of fans chanting for KK were loud.

After Jung Yoon-gi finished his acceptance speech, the MCs gave their closing comments.

The prelude to today’s #1 song, ‘Very Sorry’, started playing once again.

The singers went down the stage and congratulated K.K. Everyone was filled with emotion and bowed their heads as they greeted each other frantically.

at that time. The staff members who were watching the stage whispered when they saw the unexpected sight. The audience seats were the same.

“You two… what? “Zoom the camera to the left side of the stage and capture it!”

At the direction of the current producer, the TV screen switched to the screen being filmed by camera number 3.

There, Kim Woo-yeon and Do-wook were seen exchanging stories.

“Kang Do-wook. Congratulations!”

Kim Woo-yeon came up to Do-wook, a member of KK who was greeting fellow singers here and there, and congratulated him.

Dowook bowed deeply after receiving Kim Woo-yeon’s greeting. Kim Woo-yeon smiled and tapped Do-wook on the shoulder.

Although she did not show it, it was meaningful to Kim Woo-yeon that she was nominated for first place along with Do-wook, a student she teaches.

Kim Woo-yeon also knew well about Do-wook’s serious attitude toward singing, his skills, and how much effort he put into improving his skills. Do-wook’s message, which arrived before the broadcast, once again confirmed Kim Woo-yeon’s thoughts.

A perhaps obvious message that it is an honor to be in first place together. If it had been sent by someone else, it might have been considered pretense, but since it was Dowook and not someone else, Kim Woo-yeon accepted the message as it was.

Also, seeing KK’s performance before his own, Kim Woo-yeon even felt ‘proud’.

‘I knew it would go well, but as always, it’s always better than I expected.’

However, Kim Woo-yeon did not express such sentiments out loud. Saying something like that now would only be condescending. Those words should have been said before everything went well.

For now, I thought just saying congratulations would be enough.

“Thank you teacher.”

Do-wook felt Kim Woo-yeon’s affection for his student from Kim Woo-yeon’s hand patting his shoulder.

Kim Woo-yeon was only a vocal teacher at the academy, and Do-wook visited him, paid the tuition fee, and formed a relationship between teacher and student.

However, Do-wook realized that Kim Woo-yeon, who recognized Do-wook’s strong will to sing good songs, had put more effort into teaching him than teaching academy students. It was a series of hard training, but thanks to that, I was able to have vocal skills that I would be proud to show off anywhere.

Even though he grumbled, Kim Woo-yeon worked hard for Do-wook in many ways. It was thanks to Kim Woo-yeon that Yong-soo-cheol was found, and even though Kim Woo-yeon did not intend to, thanks to him, a relationship with Kim Sum was created.

And above all, he was the singer of ‘If It Was a Dream’. Dowook was thrilled and hugged Kim Woo-yeon.

“This guy is disgusting!”

As expected, he made it seem like he didn’t want to, but soon pretended that he couldn’t win and hugged Do-wook tightly. The couple’s short, intense hug was broadcast live.

***

Kim Woo-yeon was an outspoken critic of idols.

He first approached Kang Do-wook, a member of the competing team KK, who was also nominated for first place, greeted him and even hugged him in a warm atmosphere.

People’s curiosity and interest were drawn to the combination of KK’s member Kim Woo-yeon, a vocalist with an eccentric personality who caused a sensation by taking first place on their comeback.

It was about three days later that the article was published.

〈’Old singer king’ Kim Woo-yeon KK Kang Do-wook is a talented and talented student!… A special story is revealed〉

Along with the fact that he worked as a vocal teacher to make a living when he was unknown, Kim Woo-yeon revealed that Kang Do-wook was a student he taught at that time. It was revealed in an interview with the ‘Old Singer King’ program.

Even when evaluating a senior’s singing, I say, ‘You’re good at it.’ He is a great man.’ Kim Woo-yeon only said what was necessary.

With a proud look on his face, he said, ‘This is a friend who doesn’t fail in any of his facial skills and efforts.’ People once again became very fond of Do-wook after seeing him being interviewed.

All members were traveling to Times Square in Yeongdeungpo in a car.

“Do-wook, it’s surprising that the teacher at the vocal academy you went to separately was senior Kim Woo-yeon.”

Jung Yoon-gi said while watching an interview with an old singer king on his cell phone. Only Oh Baek-ho knew that fact, and the members did not know either.

Rather than hiding it, it was because I felt there was no need to talk about it.

“I know. “Please let me know later~ I want to say hello to you because your song is really great!”

To Ahn Hyeong-seo’s words, Do-wook scratched his head and replied that he would do so if he had the chance.

There was nothing different about KK being able to take first place in Life Song even though her other scores were slightly lower than Kim Woo-yeon. This was because the album score was much higher even though the low ratio was set.

The importance of core fandom was proven once again.

Although it was true that the album’s popularity had increased since the last time, there were other reasons for the incredibly high album sales.

It was a strategy designed by the company to take advantage of the increased popularity. They increased album sales by holding fan signing events throughout Seoul. To win the fan signing event, fans bought a huge amount of albums each.

And today was the day of the first fan signing event in question.
