Chapter 43: The Techniques of an Idol Who Never Fails

The building where Yang Hyung's studio was located was entirely the building of the composition team he belonged to, and the vocal practice room was on the top floor.

I had always gone down to the basement as a matter of course, and this was the first time I had ever gone up. Since vocal lessons were also taught here, students occasionally came and went.

On the way up the stairs, I met a few people who looked like students. Then I arrived at the vocal practice room.

Jang Seokhoon first had me repeat the same note several times to accurately determine my vocal range. He then said, amazed,

"I felt it when directing you, but your pitch is really good."

It seems that having a good sense of pitch is what everyone finds amazing. Hehe...

Since he started playing an instrument at such a young age, it makes sense that in arts and physical education, age is the king.

Jang Seokhoon was the type who would explain things by giving examples. Thanks to this, I learned that even people who have been singing for a long time still try various changes to improve their singing.

I don't know why I stubbornly stuck to one style when I first met a vocal trainer. I thought I had practiced a lot, but now I realize I was actually not very diligent.

After confirming my vocal range, my voice was hoarse in no time. Jang Seokhoon said, bewildered,

"You can't even sing two songs in a row... We need to do something about this before the concert."

"Yeah, that's true."

Even if there aren't many parts, if my voice is hoarse after singing two songs at the concert... Just thinking about it is terrifying, really.

At that moment, the door opened, and Jang Seokhoon looked towards it and said,

"I'm busy."

A student who looked to be around my age peeked in but didn't leave. I instinctively pulled my cap down, and a moment later, the door closed.

* * *

At that moment, I felt a bit uneasy.

But since I tend to get nervous and anxious easily, I thought it was just unnecessary worry.

This time, it wasn't.

After listening to Jang Seokhoon's various advice and cautions about vocals, when I returned to the studio, Yang Hyung was looking at his phone and cursing.

"Hyung, why?"

"......Look at this guy."

He showed me someone's SNS on his phone, and there was a picture of me. I was wearing a cap, and although it was blurry, it was clear enough to recognize me.

[Today I went to learn beats and saw a national disgrace lol]

[↳Haha, really a national disgrace]

[↳Why were you there?]

[↳↳I don't know, but anyway, he was really rude. All the other composers live there, but I saw the national disgrace in person for the first time today. Just looking at him, you can tell he gets all the songs composed by the team and puts his name first. So shameless.]

This post was shared on several communities, and TRV, which continuously monitors large communities, contacted Yang Hyung to identify who it was.

If it were just a negative comment, it would be fine, but since it was about composing and completely false, the agency thought they needed to take action.

My previous agency had convinced me that the best course of action was to let it go, whether there were negative comments or not. At the time, I thought that was the right thing to do, but now, thinking about it, they probably wanted me to be quiet because I was playing a role that required me to be the villain, as the agency was pushing other members.

Anyway, last time, the status window warned me of a crisis before something happened, but this time it didn't appear.

It didn't seem to be a crisis of that level, or perhaps it was even beneficial.

Yang Hyung took his phone back. After thinking for a moment, he left a comment under his own ID.

[YANG_222: Hey, you bastard. Since this guy can't speak for himself as an idol, I'll do it for him. This fraudster. He doesn't come to the studio? I can't even count the days he doesn't come, because there are none, you bastard.]

Then he posted on his own account.

[YANG_222: I'm really working on the regular album tracks for the Hetsun members all night long~ Want to hear the behind-the-scenes of a clear day?^_^? Hae-won really thought hard about the fan song, came up with it suddenly at a cafe, worked on it while moving to the shooting location, got rained on during the shoot, and came back to the studio to work again, then went to the hospital... sniff sniff]

"Hyung, are you a split personality? That's scary."

"Shut up, you brat."

TRV responded very quickly, and the photo on the student's Instagram was taken down, and an apology was posted. The student probably didn't expect his post to spread to the communities.

Anyway, it's reassuring to have an agency.

Even though it was resolved well, my weak mental state was still affected, so I told Yang Hyung,

"I'm going to leave a bit early today."

"Okay, go."

"If I leave, won't you be bored alone?"

"Please get lost, you lunatic."

I chuckled and called my manager. While standing on the stairs waiting for Park Jungwoon, my manager, to arrive from the company,

The status window appeared.

[Emergency!]

[The 'likes' on the corresponding video are approaching 100,000]

[When the 'likes' on the corresponding video reach 100,000, a new roulette will open]

For the 'Turn on the Light' music video, the 'likes' had already exceeded 100,000, but since there was some promotion involved initially, the status window didn't appear.

When I checked 'Clear Day,' the 'likes' were approaching 100,000. Since it was a fan song, the ratio of people pressing 'like' compared to the number of views was higher than for other videos.

"......What's this new roulette?"

While I was muttering to myself, the group chat alarm went off.

[Minjo: Guys, T.T.T.T.T.T It's a bug...]

* * *

[Minjo: Ah!]

The two characters posted on Xbus made the fans stir.

[There's no exclamation mark in Jihoo's post!?????]

[What's wrong, Jihoo!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[No, I'm really worried.]

After about ten minutes, Minjihoo posted again.

[Minjo: Hetsun, there's a huge bug in the dorm... What do we do...]

[Ah, T.T.T.T.T]

[I'm sorry, Jihoo... I can't catch it either...]

[It's pitiful but cute lol lol lol lol lol]

[Where are the seniors???]

[Youngest: The seniors aren't here, and Jihoo and I are shivering together T.T.T.T]

[Minjo: It's really scary... It's gone now... If any senior sees this, please come to the dorm quickly...]

[Anjuwon: Is Seulgi not here? Check if she's sleeping in her room.]

[↳Minjo: I already checked, but she's not there T.T.T.T.T Where are the seniors? Save us T.T.T.T]

[↳Anjuwon: School! I'll be there soon.]

[Ahahaha, did you check? Hahaha]

[Seulgi is a legend in the fanbase hahaha]

[Juwon is so diligent, going to school T.T.T.T]

[Youngest: Jiwoon hyung is here!]

[That's a relief!!]
