It was 10:00 AM, and Park Jiho took out the lyrics of "Naengmyeon" and smiled at Jessica, saying, "The first line of 'Naengmyeon' is very cold, the heart is very cold. Sica, don't you have a nickname called 'Ice Princess'? This first line is written for Jessica!"
After hearing Park Jiho's words, Jessica let out an "ah," unsure whether she was happy or unhappy.
However, Park Myungsoo, who was standing beside her, smiled at Jessica and said, "Ah... Your face doesn't look too good!"
Park Jiho laughed and continued, "Brother, aren't you the Prince of the Sea? In this song, you are rejected, so I compared the cold heart to naengmyeon, making the listeners feel the coldness of summer and the coldness of rejection!" After finishing, he continued to smile and said, "Let's listen to the demo of my song first!"
Jessica and Park Myungsoo nodded. The demo was recorded by Park Jiho himself, and after listening to it, Park Myungsoo smiled and said, "Wow... Jiho, this song is really great, and your singing is also excellent...!" Park Myungsoo didn't finish speaking!
Jessica also chimed in, "Yeah... I really didn't expect that Jiho oppa is not only good at composing but also has such solid singing skills."
One sentence made Park Myungsoo turn back worriedly and say, "Sica, what do you mean? You're not thinking of teaming up with Jiho and not with me, are you?"
"Ha ha...!" One sentence made everyone laugh.
Finally, Park Myungsoo asked an important question: he felt that the pitch of the song was too high and asked if it could be fixed with a machine, and if he could lip-sync!
"Ha...!" Park Jiho couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother... don't worry! I'll make sure everything is perfect."
Hearing Park Jiho's promise, Park Myungsoo was reassured and said, "That's good, that's good. It all depends on you, my good brother!"
Park Jiho bowed, and the recording session ended. After sending off Park Myungsoo, Park Jiho received a call from Kang Jiyoung. At that time, Kang Jiyoung was in a nanny car on her way to another event and called Park Jiho. The content of the call was about wanting Park Jiho to go to DSP Entertainment, where someone would discuss the purchase of all the rights to "MR." Kang Jiyoung also hoped that Park Jiho would come.
To be honest, if Kang Jiyoung hadn't said she wanted him to come, Park Jiho wouldn't have gone to DSP Entertainment. Things had already come to this, and the other company was still acting high and mighty, not even coming to talk to him but asking him to go to their company, as if he were the one begging. Park Jiho was speechless at KARA having such a foolish company.
However, for Kang Jiyoung, Park Jiho still had to give face. Not to mention their relationship, if it weren't for Kang Jiyoung sending his song "MR" to DSP Entertainment, "MR" wouldn't have had the chance to become famous. So, Park Jiho tidied up and decided to go to DSP Entertainment. If the other company showed sincerity, he would still sell the overseas rights to "MR," not for himself, but for KARA, for Kang Jiyoung!
...........................................
Around 11:30 AM, Park Jiho arrived at DSP Entertainment in South Korea. However, what left Park Jiho speechless was that no one came to greet him, as the person who was supposed to receive him had gone out to lunch. In the end, with the help of a staff member who liked Park Jiho, he had lunch at DSP Entertainment.
After finishing lunch, Park Jiho waited until almost 1:30 PM before being informed that the person who was to discuss the copyright issue with him was ready to see him. To be honest, if it weren't for his promise to Kang Jiyoung, Park Jiho would have left long ago. This was the arrogance of one of the four major entertainment companies in Korea, DSP, which was truly hateful.
Led by a secretary-like employee, Park Jiho entered the office of the CEO's senior assistant. Upon entering, he saw a young man in his twenties with his feet up on the desk, lying back in his chair and dozing off. When Park Jiho entered, the secretary-like employee said, "Assistant Yoo, Mr. Park Jiho has arrived."
"Park Jiho...?" Hearing the employee's voice, Assistant Yoo thought for a moment and said, "Ah... the new composer? Got it, you can go now!"
Park Jiho was speechless. Was the other person thinking he would punch him? After the employee left, Assistant Yoo suddenly pulled out a contract from behind him, closed his eyes, and threw it on the table, saying, "Kid, you're lucky. Our company is willing to pay 10 million won for all the rights to 'MR,' and we will also buy your next song for 10 million won and consider it as the main track! How does that sound? I have a suggestion for you: pick up the pen, sign your name on this contract, and then leave, closing the door behind you because my head hurts."
After Assistant Yoo finished speaking, Park Jiho was at a loss for words. Suddenly, Park Jiho burst out laughing, because at this point, he couldn't describe the absurdity of the situation with any words. Looking at the condescending and contemptuous language of Assistant Yoo, if this were in prison, the other person would have lost many teeth!
Without another word, Park Jiho turned and left. Since DSP had no shame, he wouldn't be the one to beg. Hearing the sound of Park Jiho leaving without signing, Assistant Yoo finally rubbed his head, opened his eyes, and said, "A little rookie, actually daring to be so arrogant. I'll wait for you to come begging." He then sneered and slowly closed his eyes.
Assistant Yoo's name was Yoo Wandong, the son of a friend of Lee Yeonho. Because of Lee Yeonho's influence, Yoo Wandong acted arrogantly in DSP Entertainment, and everyone would give him some leeway. He was also the most staunch supporter of Lee Yeonho, so in his mind, everything his boss, Lee Yeonho, said was correct. In the meeting, when Lee Yeonho said that 10 million won and the promise of using his songs as main tracks were enough, Yoo Wandong believed it without doubt!
So, no one else took on this task, and he happily accepted it. However, this fool didn't know that what Lee Yeonho said in the meeting was self-deception, and even Lee Yeonho himself didn't believe it. Because of this, Yoo Wandong was destined to become cannon fodder!
