Chapter 70

Finally, Kim Yubum and the Fin.K.L group arrived at the live venue of this "M!Countdown" music show.

Kim Yubum followed the Fin.K.L group and simply watched the "M!Countdown" music stage, as for a singer, "M!Countdown" was a brand new stage. Everyone would naturally want to walk onto the stage and try it out before the rehearsal, if conditions allowed.

Because of the Fin.K.L group, as the top group in Korea at the moment, they naturally had the qualifications to walk onto the stage and take a look before the official rehearsal, with the permission of the show's staff.

This was only because it was Fin.K.L. If it were any other group or singer without enough experience and status, they would have no right to go on stage.

Kim Yubum was very lucky, as he came with Fin.K.L, the staff also treated him as a backup dancer for Fin.K.L and did not stop him, so Kim Yubum also walked onto the "M!Countdown" stage with the Fin.K.L group.

Undoubtedly, as Mnet's strong new music show, "M!Countdown" was naturally top-notch in both hardware and software settings.

Not to mention other aspects, just the lighting and stage area alone were enough to make the four members of Fin.K.L marvel, thinking it was much better than the music show studios of the three major TV stations.

"Wow, Mnet really has money!" Standing on the stage, looking around at the stage area and design, Sung Yuri couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hehe, what's so surprising? With the financial support of the CJ Group behind Mnet, if we're talking about money, the three major TV stations probably can't match Mnet." Hearing Sung Yuri's exclamation, Lee Jin, who loved to bicker with her the most, couldn't sit still and jumped up.

Actually, Lee Jin was right. Although the three major TV stations had been in Korea for many years and were deeply rooted, they couldn't match the support of the super conglomerate CJ Group behind Mnet. If it were just a matter of money, the three major TV stations really couldn't compete with Mnet.

Of course, the three major TV stations had a very special and unique status in Korea, which had nothing to do with how much money they had. Even with the support of the CJ Group, Mnet probably couldn't surpass the three major TV stations in the hearts of the public.

"Does it matter to you? These things have nothing to do with you. Now that we've seen the stage, let's go to the waiting room. Yubum still needs to prepare well!" Seeing that Sung Yuri and Lee Jin were about to continue their argument, the leader Lee Hyori couldn't sit still and quickly stopped them. Then she led the group to the separate waiting room prepared by the show for Fin.K.L.

Because he was worried about Kim Yubum, Lee Ho-yeon required that Kim Yubum follow the Fin.K.L group for everything related to his debut on the "M!Countdown" music show. As for the rehearsal and the waiting room before the performance, Kim Yubum was also lucky enough to not have to squeeze into the general waiting room but to go to the Fin.K.L group's waiting room.

Although there was a difference between men and women, fortunately, Kim Yubum's costume change was simple and didn't require much. He just needed to confirm his hairstyle.

As for the four members of Fin.K.L, being women, their costume changes were naturally more complicated and required more attention.

Therefore, after sitting in the waiting room for a while, Kim Yubum and Fin.K.L once again familiarized themselves with the songs they were about to perform. Kim Yubum was relatively easy; the song wasn't a dance track, so he just needed to sit in the chair, sing a few times softly, and make sure he didn't miss any lyrics.

As for the four members of Fin.K.L, since the song they were performing was a dance track, to ensure the smoothness of the stage, even while resting in the waiting room, they stood up and confirmed their dance positions and movements under the captain Lee Hyori's request.

This scene naturally caught Kim Yubum's eye, and he couldn't help but marvel at how the success of the Fin.K.L group was closely related to their own efforts. Not to mention other things, just their seriousness about their performances was enough to be a model for all newcomers.

With Fin.K.L's current popularity and status in the music industry, they didn't need to be so serious about any stage performance. After all, their status was there, and many fans watching Fin.K.L's performances weren't there to see how great the performances were, but simply to chase stars, as long as they could see the four members of Fin.K.L, they were satisfied.

"Almost done, Yubum, come with me, I'll take you to visit the seniors. And you three, behave yourselves and get your costumes on during this time!" Checking the time, after finishing the hairstyle design for the performance, Lee Hyori stood up from the chair and then gave instructions to Kim Yubum and the other three members of Fin.K.L.

After saying that, Lee Hyori directly took Kim Yubum out of the waiting room, preparing to take him to visit the senior artists participating in the first broadcast of the "M!Countdown" music show.

As the time for the first broadcast of "M!Countdown" approached, more and more artists appeared at the show's venue.

Everyone was busy, making their own preparations, none of them wanting to have any issues during their first performance on the new "M!Countdown" music show.

On the way, Kim Yubum finally experienced Fin.K.L's current status in the Korean music industry. Along the way, countless people made way when they saw Lee Hyori and greeted her respectfully.

Not just the artists, even some staff members, or the managers and staff of other artists, were very respectful when they saw Lee Hyori.

"This is the waiting room of the senior H.O.T. Be careful with what you say." As the most famous and earliest debut among all the artists participating in the new "M!Countdown" music show, H.O.T. was naturally the first person Lee Hyori and Kim Yubum needed to visit.

"I understand, Nuna!" Seeing the sign "H.O.T." on the door, Kim Yubum couldn't help but take a deep breath. Regardless of the tension between the two companies, the achievements of the supergroup H.O.T. were enough to earn Kim Yubum's respect.

Lee Hyori gently knocked on the door, and a few seconds later, it was opened by a middle-aged man in his thirties, who seemed to be H.O.T.'s manager or assistant.

When he saw Lee Hyori and Kim Yubum, although he didn't know why Lee Hyori was visiting H.O.T., he politely opened the door and gestured for Lee Hyori to enter. (Of course, it wasn't to visit the seniors; if it were, all four members of Fin.K.L would have come together.)

"Brother Hwi-joon, hello!" As soon as they entered, they saw H.O.T.'s leader Moon Hwi-joon walking towards them, and Lee Hyori quickly bowed and greeted him.

"Oh, it's Hyori, please come in!" Recognizing Lee Hyori, Moon Hwi-joon was momentarily stunned, then immediately smiled and welcomed her.

"Ah, it's Hyori!" Lee Hyori was a super beauty, and as soon as she entered H.O.T.'s waiting room, the other four members of H.O.T., who were busy practicing singing, doing their hair, or practicing dancing, immediately noticed her arrival.

"Hello, seniors, I'm Lee Hyori, today I'm bringing our company's new artist, Kim Yubum, to visit all the seniors!" Seeing that all five members of H.O.T. had noticed her arrival, Lee Hyori quickly bowed again and introduced Kim Yubum, who was standing behind her, to the five members of H.O.T.

At this moment, Kim Yubum naturally knew what he needed to do, and quickly bowed to the five members of H.O.T. and greeted them, "Hello, seniors, I'm the new artist Kim Yubum, please take care of me in the future!"
