Chapter 39

* * *

I tried to go in the direction of signing the contract.

Because he seemed to be a pretty good manager.

However, his attitude toward his entertainers was overwhelming.

Even if we make a new contract, Jun-hyung and four people would definitely get a sense of it, but we couldn’t let it go.

I tried to get back to my original seat, but it really wasn’t here.

CEO Chung Young-joo said, “I will not let you go if you are greedy,” and eventually gave up five people.

Roar! Bang!

Coming out into the noisy street, Jong-hyuk saw five people.

Maybe because the trainee contract was terminated, his expression seemed very complicated.

They’ve been hung up on that one word for the past two years.

“I’m sorry, I never saw you sign a contract with a place like that.”

“We were fine.….”

Denny, a pimple young man who muttered without realizing it, was surprised.

“Oh, well, that’s a deal out there anyway! Right, guys? “Kye Sang?

Jong-hyuk frowned at them who seemed half convinced.

“Brothers, there’s nothing natural in this world.”

Flinch!

“The moment you take it for granted, you become a slave.”

Their eyes got bigger.

Jong-hyuk’s words penetrated his heart like a fire.

“Slave…” Okay, I got it. I understand. Thank you. Thank you, bro. Thanks to you, we’ve become people.”

Why were you hanging like a fool when you were going to be treated like this?

Park’s words, which seemed to be a good choice, that he wanted to release an album because it was too much.

We were slaves who were told to go, who came to come.’

I shouldn’t have waited, I should have come first.

I should have demanded and traded like a man.

Their blurred eyes cleared up as they only looked blindly at their dream of becoming singers. A relieved smile came to their lips.

“Thank you, Jong-hyuk, for doing this for us who are just friends in town.”

Jeong-hyuk’s words startled Jong-hyuk.

“What are you going to do? You’re not going to give up on being a singer, are you?”

“Oh, no! I mean, I have to think about what I’m going to do from now on, but I’m thinking about doing a street performance in Hongdae like now. Right, guys?

At the first hearing, Jong-hyuk’s eyes got bigger.

“Did you have a street performance?”

“Yeah. I don’t want my skills to deteriorate.”

“When I practice near my house, I feel like I’m unemployed….grandmothers and aunts…….”

Jong-hyuk let out a sigh.

They were also making efforts in their own ways.

“But now I’m going to make them take us with their skills!”

“Okay, when you get back, practice starts!”

They looked so shiny shouting like that.

“Oh, thank you, lawyer! Thanks to you, I learned a lot.”

“…huh. Did I do anything?”

‘These brothers….’ I don’t blame them for breaking the contract.

I broke the contract, so I don’t even tell him to take responsibility.

“Yeah, they were like this is it. People who appreciate the little things.’

Jong-hyuk’s heart became heavy.

“Whoa, eventually, to JYK, these brothers…….”

Ring! Ring!

Jong-hyuk answered the phone.

Boss, there’s someone who has good skills and personality but doesn’t have money. Would you like to meet him?

Jong-hyuk’s body is stiff.

“Sigh…….”

Why?

“It’s really like a tongue in your mouth, Kwon PB. You’re going to get addicted.”

Hohohohohohohoho!

“Okay, make an appointment right away.”

Hanging up, Jong-hyuk opened his mouth as he saw them getting ready to go back.

“Guys, I think I’ll have to practice a little later.”

“Huh?”

“And the lawyer. I know you’re busy, but I’d appreciate it if you could hang out with me”

“Ha ha. I’m paid to do this.”

Nodding his head, Jong-hyuk turned around.

“Let’s go.”

* * *

A small semi-underground office with a bright light but somehow blurry.

Moon, moon!

A man in his mid-40s is shaking his legs.

A handsome man in his mid-20s is also shaking next to him.

A single employee and president, and the only actor in the company.

“Sa, it’s not fraud, is it?”

“Woo, at our company? You’re a celebrity. You’re the only one of you?”

“…That’s too sad to say, boss. Then why is the boss shaking?”

“You’re an investor! I can beat you up with money and make you do something bad!”

This is a time when that kind of investor is everything.

It was fortunate to have two out of ten good investors.

“I’m a man.”

“It was a woman who called.”

“What should I do?”

“What do you mean, no of course.….”

Trudging!

The boss and actor, who quickly got up, soon opened the door and blinked at the crowd.

“Why are you so much of a crowd……Gasp! Stop, are you a gangster?

A large young man dressed in luxury goods from the watch of his wrist to his toes.

The moment I saw him, the president’s face turned white with reasonable doubt.

“Huh? It’s Yongjun.”

The company’s only entertainer who murmurs nonchalantly like his own name. Surprisingly, however, the other side also responded.

“Huh? Taehyun?”



Silence fell in the semi-basement office for a moment.

Jong-hyuk looked at Taehyun alternately and blinked.

Why are you coming out of here?’

Kang Tae-hyun. He was one of the representative actors of Korea in the future.

* * *

Jung Hyuk and Tae Hyun are said to have lived together as actors and actresses for Sidus. President Chung Young-tak was a director of Sidus, but when things got tough, he took Kang Tae-hyun, who had only made his debut, and became independent. It has set up its current company EBM.BM.

Coincidentally, we have the same family name.

“Young” is also included in the name.

Jong-hyuk’s eyes are squinted.

“What? They were trainees for the singer’s part?”

“I told you so. Wow, I heard the floor in Seoul is small. Are we meeting like this? Yongjun, I said you disappeared. Were you with him? I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”

“So did I! Why are you changing your phone number?”

“I’m moving out of my house.… even if I did, what about you? You’re such a jerk!”

“I didn’t even have a phone!”

Jeong Young-tak appeared in a sudden touching story.

“But what are you doing here?”

“Oh.”

Before Junhyung’s party, Jong-hyuk stepped up.

“They were looking for an agency because their trainee contract with Sidus was terminated.”



Jung Young-tak was surprised.

“Jung Youngjoo, that greedy guy let go of the trainee?”’

Jung Young-joo, who has a conscience and recognition, is too greedy.

In 1996, a company was told to join a dinosaur-class entertainment company.

Chung Young-joo changed her name to Sidus, and decided to refine her trainee’s skills and expand her life by borrowing money from Jonggeum to raise her voice within the company that will become one.

Then, in late 1997, the company fell on the brink of bankruptcy due to the severe IMF cold, and Sidus eventually became a Nakdong River duck egg, or a sinking ship.

Jeong Young-tak bought Kang Tae-hyun and his original name, “Entertainment Management Company EBM,” and independent because he was afraid that Kang Tae-hyun, who had been paying attention to, would be overworked.

“When the plan fell through, he was the one who was going to do it because he said it was a good thing.”….’

A ridiculous plan covering agencies, film companies, and production companies.

Among them, idol singers were trees that shed the fruit of money. That’s what the idol market is like now.

The trainee that he’s been hiding so far.’

It was an illusion, but he was greedy for not knowing it.

But there was a problem.

“Well, guys. I’m sorry, but you’re looking forward to it. I don’t know much about producing singers. I probably won’t be able to apply properly even if I take over you guys.”

Jun-hyung and four others were embarrassed, and Jong-hyuk shone his eyes.



“You’re not playing tricks even though investors are coming soon?’

It can inflate the company’s vision, saying that it is also raising idol singers to keep the five people tied up. That’s why I tested arriving earlier than I promised.

‘For now, you’ve passed.’

Junhyung and four people saw each other.

“Don’t worry, it’s okay. Prove it with our skills. Shall we listen to our song first?”

“No, I’m…….”

“We’re unemployed right now. We have to tell the agency that we have a singer. Listen to it first and let me know when you think of it.”

Jun-hyung and four others laughed broadly, sticking out their stomachs.

“These guys?”

Once it started to shine, even its behavior is changing actively.

Jung Young-tak was surprised like Jong-hyuk.

“Well.”

Jung Young-tak looked at the clock.

Even so, all five people who were greedy are confident.

There’s a reason you’re hiding it! Yeah! You have to be this confident to be a star!’

His theory was that passive people could never succeed.

So I was more greedy, and Jung Young-tak couldn’t overcome that greed.

“We still have an hour to go.… But like I said earlier, you should know that I don’t intend to raise a singer yet.”

“Not yet. Okay. That’s fine. Where are we flirting? Here?

“……I’ll have to learn honorifics first when I’m with you, dude.”

“Oh, sorry. Man. It’s hard to use honorifics because I’ve lived in America for a long time.”

“Come on. Come on.”

They headed to Kang Tae-hyun’s practice room, which was built separately in the semi-basement office.

Five people in the center saw each other.

“Al Kelly?”

“Okay.”

Three, two, one. Go.

When the count was over, Jun-hyung put his hands together and took them to his mouth.

Then the slow beatbox bursts out.

Push, push, push.

Jung Hyuk stamped his feet to the slow beat, Gye Sang and Denny clapped their hands and harmonized.

The remaining four eyes, including Jong-hyuk and Jung Young-tak, opened wide.

At that moment, Hoyoung stepped forward and opened his mouth.

“I used to think that I could not go on.”

Tingling!

Jong-hyuk realized.

‘That’s why these guys became stars.’

A beautiful harmony that even an outsider of music can feel the thrill of the moment.

The same was true of Jung Young-tak.

* * *

“Yee! Go Juni! Go Juni!”

Once they started singing, they couldn’t control their excitement, so they started to play music without music, no, with their bodies and voices.

Nine-Teen in the middle of the practice room.

Next to them, Jung Hyuk played Nike, and Kang Tae-hyun, who couldn’t control his excitement, also twitched his hips with them.

Jung Young-tak, who was looking at it with delight, said, “I’ll smoke a cigarette and play,” and cold water poured on him as he went outside.

“Oh, I don’t know, I don’t know! Just hang out! You know we’re not signing a contract anyway!”

The five people who laughed at Kang Tae-hyun’s shout continued their excitement, saying, “That’s true.” Unlike street asphalt, cement, and sidewalk blocks, the smooth wooden floor was very pleasing.

Meanwhile, Chung Young-tak, who went outside and smoked, wiped the smile off his mouth. He soon scratched his head.

“Oh, what a waste! If I knew a little bit about music, they’d all be mine! Jung Young-joo, aren’t you? You released those gemstones?”

It’s an incredible story to think about again.

“No, you can leave it up to the professional to produce. It just so happened… Yeah, Gam Jin-young, you tried to cooperate with him, didn’t you?”

When Chung Young-joo made a ridiculous plan to create a company that encompasses agencies, film companies, and production companies, the plan came out to acquire the know-how of singer parts.

Of course, Chung Young-tak, who concluded that there was no chance of success due to severe financial difficulties, remained independent.

“I’ll leave the production to him, and I’ll apply for something else.….”

All the plans to make it go through his mind.

“First of all, I went on other talk shows and gained recognition, and then I appeared on a parenting show that Haesung talked about at a drinking party.”

When a company was trying to create a dinosaur-class company, Jeon Hae-sung, vice president of SN Entertainment, was also the singer’s part leader. That’s why I often had drinking parties before the IMF came, which came out then.

I heard that such an offer has been made to HOT, the current cash cow of SN.

“And….”

A few years’ worth of planning is well established.

Five stars stimulated his inspiration.

But he soon sighed for a long time.

“What are you thinking? I don’t have the damn money.”

He took a deep breath of tobacco with a heavy sense of emptiness and frustration.

“Whoa. If I really had money…… Oh, yeah. Investor. …… No, I can’t show you guys who didn’t sign up. I’m sure Taehyun is investing in him, so investors won’t want to.”

But it’s such a waste.

“Should we hope to remain anonymous until Taehyun succeeds? I’m a bad guy, too. But… If you remain unknown until then, I will bite you and wash you well, do well!”

Jong-hyuk felt it was time to step up to the plate when he was talking loudly.

‘I was wondering how they got involved with JYK, but this is what happened.’

Understood everything, he grinned.

“It’s amazing how you hold back your greed.”

“Oh, Choi Jong-hyuk. I’m sorry I couldn’t say hello earlier.”

The sight of him rushing to smoke made Jong-hyuk laugh.

I really like it.’

“No, I didn’t say hello properly either. I guess they really liked it.”

“Ha ha. No matter how different the field is, if you don’t want to see those gemstones, you have to go to the bottom.”

Jong-hyuk shone his eyes.

“If you like it that much, you’re going to make the contract good, right?”

The most important story.

Jung Young-tak nodded.

“Of course. Why would I be independent of Jung Young-joo, who has a similar name? It’s all because of the personality that only sees celebrities as products. What’s the point of having a conscience? Less human…… Oh, I’m sorry. You said something that you can’t say to someone you’ve never met before. Anyway, if I sign a contract, I’ll eat 300,000.”

Jong-hyuk was surprised.

“Is that possible?”

“As long as the company gets rid of some greed, that’s enough.”

“Five people would cost a lot of extra money.”

Jung Young-tak smirked.

“Choi. Choi is the most popular player these days, so there must be a lot of love calls from this floor, right? May I give you a piece of advice as a man of my own bottom?”

“I’ll listen carefully.”

“Don’t ever believe these bottom guys. It’s an extra charge, a lesson, everything is a lie. Since you’re young, you know both male and female idols, right?”

Top of Teenager’s TOT and Boyfriend.

Female idol group SOE and Sweetie.

“They haven’t finished their settlement yet, but it’s all a lie. It’s already past the break-even point. How much would I have invested in tens of billions?”

“Really? But why?”

“Why do you think? I’m using them because they’re kids who don’t know anything! Fans are young…에 Ego. I can’t say that again. Anyway, whatever they say, look at the contract carefully and sign it. Choi is an athlete anyway.”

Jong-hyuk opened his mouth.

As he said, there is another big fish in front of him, but he is not greedy.

He is well aware of his dishes.

“……hahaha!”

“Choi?”

Jong-hyuk shook his hand at his displeased look.

“I’m sorry. I was so happy to meet someone like Mr. Jung from the beginning.”

“What do you mean……..”

Jong-hyuk smiled softly and pulled out his business card.

“You got a call from Kwon A-young of Kwon & Park Holdings earlier, right?

“Huh?”

Jong-hyuk bowed his head at the change in his expression as if he had just realized something.

“It’s really late to say hello. This is Choi Jong-hyuk, Kwon & Park Holdings Investment Advisor. Please keep this status as it’s a secret.”

“What?”

“Shall we start with 2 billion won?”

“…Yes?”

As he blinked, he soon burst into laughter.

“Ugh!”
