chapter 10
10 episodes
To protect the artist, especially Han Hyo-seok’s face, the filming ended at 9 pm.
First Light and the PD felt sorry for the fact that the first episode came out after filming all day, but at the same time, they were satisfied that even one episode came out at the same time.
I took pictures of the members’ faces that were doodled and sent them directly to the staff who manages the official accounts. All the staff, including the PD, were looking at me with ignorant gratitude. As a member of the same modern society, I decided to accept this gratitude without humility.

On the other hand, stylist Lee Ye-young, who had to erase graffiti, was tired of restoring the faces of six people, so she slapped me on the back.
“Why do you give the pens to the kids?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. But it really hurts.”
I rubbed my back and pretended to be sick, but Ye-young Lee frowned and asked me.
“But why did Haewon fall like this before? If it’s cold, can I borrow you a coat?”
As a stylist, he seems to be interested in the condition of my clothes. I pulled up my sleeve to hide my trembling hands, leaned over and whispered to Ye-young Lee.
“There are a lot of cameras.”
Lee Ye-young, who had been watching since Kook Seon-ah, nodded her head instead of answering.
Being overly tense or having trouble breathing is something that always happens when you go to a place with a lot of cameras.
Park Jong-ryeol Entertainment People from the beginning had a perception that they brought stage fright + social phobia hikikomori, so they paid close attention to if there was a camera.
But you can’t expect that in TRV. It is clear that TRV has its positives and negatives, but it was definitely an entertainment company compared to Park Jong-ryeol, who is family-like in both good and bad ways. In the sense that all care is focused on the artist, and the staff has to take care of themselves.
After erasing all the graffiti, I was about to drive back to my dorm, so Min Ji-ho looked at me strangely and said,
“You didn’t come here as your manager.”
“Take a ride.”
Ever since I met President Park Hee-taek, I know for sure because I have been at the filming site for my own variety shows with pressure that I might have to stand in front of the camera.
I never stand in front of the camera. I might just fall asleep.
Still on the internet, people call me a national hater rather than my name Jung Hae-won. ‘Idols hated by the people’ in ‘Idol chosen by the people’.
When I was in the middle of a hikikomori life, I couldn’t eat national roads. It was difficult to see the word ‘guk’ in it. I can’t speak the Korean language, so the stress is very Korean. Seems a little less human.
As Min Ji-ho was getting into the car, he checked his watch and said.
“Then I will go to the practice room.”
Four of the six members are minors, and the remaining two do not have driver’s licenses.
So, if they practice early in the morning, I have to wait and take them home. As a manager, it’s natural, but when I say it all of a sudden, it makes me cry.
“Are you chasing me because I’m content?”
“slightly?”
“Hey sir.”
“I’ll be grateful for the rest of my life, for coming to pick me up later, brother.”
I think it’s convenient because someone I know for sure comes. I have to be patient… … .
I motioned for Min Ji-ho, who was showing aegyo that I didn’t want to see, to go to the practice room.
Park Seon-jae, who was in the car, also wanted to be in the practice room, and he followed suit, and as two of the three went away, Hwang Dawn-byeok came down again. After that, the other three in the other car also got off and entered the practice room.
Manager Park Joong-woon said to me bluntly.
“Ah, the members… … If you want to practice, just tell me.”
So I answered.
“The Stork Dawn is a problem. He is the leader, and if the children have any opinions, we should coordinate them and tell him.”
“Wow… … .”
Manager Park Joong-woon was moved by my words that the manager knows the heart of the manager, so he grabbed my hand and shook my hand.
Manager Park Joong-woon continued.
“Once the members start practicing, they always do it until dawn, so go to a jjimjilbang and sleep.”
Manager Park said so and he left for the jjimjilbang.
I immediately went out to buy snacks and drinks needed by the members.
After walking around a few laps outside to kill time, I came back with energy drinks and sweets full of two pay-as-you-go bags, and I heard music outside the practice room.
When I looked inside, the members were running a run.
I modified the choreography by arranging the intro to the original song, but basically everyone danced well, so I got used to it in an instant.
I ran frantically throughout the promotion period, and it’s amazing that I still have the stamina to practice even after filming the content. It seemed impossible to me, who was addicted to drinking these days, to think that it was because of my age.
Then, when it was time to take a break, I was about to go in with a snack, but Min Ji-ho immediately turned on the music again and said,
“Brothers, the one in the middle of us… … Follow me, follow me, follow me. The promise we made here and now is forever. Can’t we just put one choreography in the next part? Hae-won and Hae-won made it together with Guk Seon-ah.”
As Min Ji-ho spoke, the music of the part he said came on, and he began to split the pair choreography that I had crafted. In fact, rather than composing something together, it was choreographed by Min Ji-ho, and the choreography was at a level that I did together.
It’s not easy to put a choreography for a completely different piece of music into another piece of music. However, geniuses like Min Ji-ho who are so profane, just think about it in their head and guess it.
Ha, selfish geniuses… … .
Min Ji-ho finished the choreography and asked.
“What do you think? do you want to It suits the lyrics, honestly.”
But everyone’s reaction was lukewarm.
The choreography crafted by Min Ji-ho is basically divided into a beat that is difficult for ordinary people to measure, and it is difficult to taste the parts that seem simple in movement. When I see Min Ji-ho dancing, I know what she wants, but I shouldn’t dance. So you give up
If there was no one to replace him, he would cry and eat mustard, but right next to him was Han Hyo-seok, a pure artist. From the perspective of the members, it would have been more comfortable for FM Han Hyo-seok to lead the performance.
until now.
“Oh, little. Let’s do something challenging.”
Min Ji-ho cried one more time without being pressed this time.
“I mean, I want to put Haewon on hyung’s choreography stage.”
… … while selling me this cub.
Anyway, it worked a little bit, so I started asking ‘Should I try it?’ and gave a positive response. And Han Hyo-seok, who was speechless, said.
“Haewon hyung, did you get permission?”
“no. yet.”
“If we work together, we need permission.”
“I’ll take it. Wait a minute.”
Min Ji-ho said.
And the inspiration came suddenly like lightning.
From then on, I put down my luggage in both hands, squatted in front of the practice room door, and took out my cell phone.
After I started studying composition, nothing came to mind, so I came up with a composition material that I couldn’t make. I quickly took a picture of a melody that came to mind with a mobile phone app.
Perhaps the clear purpose of moving Min Ji-ho to the center was the inspiration that came to mind. I hummed the song with my mouth and thought of the title. It was one of the keywords I thought of last time.
‘One team, one goal.’
I guarantee, Min Ji-ho is like, crazy, and the other five are childish and old, so it’s a title that I don’t like.
But strangely, when I thought of the title like that, the melody kept coming to mind, and even the lyrics began to come to mind to some extent.
While I was frantically filming the melody and writing the lyrics, a status window appeared in front of my eyes.
[Quest occurs]
[1 page. One team, one goal.]
[Achieve 200,000 video views]
[You will be given a B-class ticket for (Red Roulette of a hit song maker)]
huh? 20 million?
Except for the official music video, it was a difficult number to exceed. Considering the number of individual views of First Light members, it is completely impossible, and the latest episodes of its own entertainment show only 20,000 to 30,000. 100,000 degrees was the level of difficulty climbing Everest.
Even the fancam is a number that only comes out when one of them explodes properly… … .
I shook my head. Now I couldn’t afford to focus on something else.
I forgot to give snacks to the members and immersed myself in composing while leaning against the wall of the practice room.
* * *
As manager Park Joong-woon said, practice ended at dawn. I came home at three in the morning
I lay in my room for the first time since my overseas schedule, and I have to get up again after 5 hours and go out.
I thought I would fall asleep when I put my head on it, but I thought I would forget if I didn’t work on it today, so I woke up by hitting the back of my head with my hand and moved the things I saved on my phone to the desktop.
I have been learning the piano for a long time, so it was definitely easier to work on a song because I have the basics. In addition, my father played the guitar for a long time, so what I learned naturally next to me was very helpful.
“If you learn it, you use it all.”
It didn’t come to mind like that, but because I was in a hurry, the lyrics and the concept came to mind as well.
It was a teen concept that had to be done now that more than half of the members are high school students. It also feels like a bunch of people doing well in school.
“Third second first la la la light… … .”
It feels strange to be weaving a hook alone this morning.
There are two things I really can’t do, one is singing and the other is writing. Still, I continued to use it.
“Become a spark, burn this stage… … . no, good you’re doing well This should be the first song.”
I continued to write lyrics while fighting the unknown Hyunta. If you run in a different direction, you can’t reach the goal, so it was very content to run towards the same place. The part that I think the First Light needs the most right now.
I filled in everything else, but the biggest problem was the rap part.
[I’m cool, you’re cool too]
I looked at the rap I wrote and covered my face with both hands. Where do you want to hit your head and die?
Unlike me, First Light’s main rapper, Shin Ji-woon, is an ignorantly emotional person, so I have to make excuses for trusting him and filling it out roughly.
So I just took the outline and stopped the work. When I was learning composition in theory, it seemed like a creation, but since I was actually doing it, it was just hard work.
It took more time to create a certain level of quality. It was physically impossible to complete before the A&R team meeting.
Besides, I stay up all night and my head doesn’t turn anymore.
Eventually, when I stopped working and just saved the file, a status window appeared.

I didn’t ask, but I don’t know why.

I didn’t even expect it in the first place, but since it’s 0%, my motivation melts away. Seriously, I’m cool, you’re cool too, but if it hits, it’s a throwback to modern pop music… … .
