– Eddios. Coback stage on KS TV, July 5th.
Eddios makes a coback this sumr with an entirely new album. World Entertainnt, their new company, has revealed that Eddios will release a new album next month and also claid that they will definitely et the expectations of the fans that have waited until now. Eddios is a group made up of Jung MinAh, the leader, Han JooYeon, the main vocalist, Christie An, and Seo HanYu, the sub vocalist, as well as Lee SamSoon and Ailee. They have signed a contract with World Entertainnt in December of last year, and since, they have appeared in this industry in many forms and…

“Wow.”
President Choo ManJi of Yoonseul Entertainnt made an expression full of curiosity as he saw the articles related to Eddios on many websites.
“Lee KangYoon, this guy, he’s really done it. Hahaha! Looks like MG will be very angry now!”
Like a person enjoying a fight from sowhere far away, he was very interested in this matter. KangYoon had accepted a group that MG Entertainnt practically threw in the trash and was now making a coback with them. His actions were a blow to the colossus in this industry which made president Choo ManJi laugh.
The following article made his laughter even louder.
– Hello Tint aims to be ‘the’ sumr girls by returning to KS TV on July 5th.
“This, I guess, is the fight between David and Goliath? Hahahahaha, that’s not right. The fight between senior and junior? What the hell is this? Hahah, my stomach hurts. If that Lee KangYoon fails in his investnts this ti, he’ll have a big loss in his hands so he’ll be very desperate. Looks like this will be a fun sight to see.”
Now, he was laughing his ass off.
The coback stage on the sa date on the sa program. The coback of these two idol groups was obviously going to be a fight between World Entertainnt and MG Entertainnt.
“Whoops. Looks like we’ll have to lay low until autumn. I don’t want sparks on .”
Jumping into that fight would only result in losses. At tis like these, he should just sit back and watch the show. He was going to watch whether KangYoon was going to successfully strike at the colossus that was MG or go down sinking.

On a rainy afternoon.
KangYoon was currently at Sace HQ to negotiate Eddios’s coback promotion.
Director Gi SeungHwan, who had read the papers that KangYoon gave him inside the eting room, put down the docunt and spoke calmly.
“An exclusive category for Eddios along with the showcase, huh. Looks like that will get us a lot of views. It’s like an upgraded version from last ti.”
Director Gi SeungHwan exclaid while looking at the plans. KangYoon smiled and explained.
“Indeed. My plan is to keep the public tied to the website with videos about the showcase and other related footage. I think it will be better if we upload high-quality videos that people can’t find anywhere else. Sace’s video platform is managed by the main company so I’m not worried about the quality of the videos.”
“So even the aftermath is thought out. To put things simply, it’s like opening up an internet-exclusive channel….”
“Indeed. To sum it up, I guess it can be called ‘Channel Eddios’?”
There was no way director Gi SeungHwan was unaware of matters with Eddios. Moreover, after they hosted MinAh’s solo album showcase, many other entertainnt companies looked to them for partnership. If this was about Eddios, who had more influence than just a single Jung MinAh, it was obvious that the effects would be very large.
Director Gi SeungHwan expressed very positive opinions.
“Okay, then. I’ll have the president sign the docunts and call you back imdiately.”
“Thank you.”
“As for further negotiations, we’ll do it after it’s set in stone.”
KangYoon and director Gi SeungHwan shook hands and stood up from their seats.
Being seen out by director Gi SeungHwan, KangYoon drove out of Sace HQ.
While driving, KangYoon sumd up matters about Eddios in his head.
‘This ti, we should be able to promote Eddios through both public TV programs and online. The girls have set a solid foundation until now. Now, their absence from Arica is all but gone. The problem is how satisfied the fans will be with the new album.’
The public’s interest lay in what form Eddios would reveal themselves. They all showed an interest in the whole of Eddios when each one of them started their solo activities. One of the reasons that Jung MinAh’s solo album went well was also because it satisfied so of their expectations.
Just as KangYoon was waiting for the signal at an intersection, his phone started ringing. It was from director Gi SeungHwan of Sace.
“This is Lee KangYoon.”
It hadn’t even been an hour since he left Sace. KangYoon was surprised and wondered if the proposal was approved already. And just as he had worried, the reply wasn’t a positive one.
– I must apologize. I handed in the proposal to the president, but I don’t think we can work with you this ti.
KangYoon was confused. It was hard to think that they would refuse when their collaboration with Jung MinAh went so well and this new proposal was sothing even bigger than that. However, he still calmly asked back.
“Can I ask you about the reason?”
– The president did have high opinions about the proposal, but coincidentally, there was a singer that proposed to us a showcase in the sa week. We don’t have the manpower to handle both at once…
Director Gi SeungHwan didn’t finish his sentence. His apologetic tone could be felt through the phone.
KangYoon felt that sothing was going wrong.
“…Okay then.”
-I’m sorry, the president’s will was too resolute…
The first thing he had to do was to find out what was happening. The words ‘both at once’ tugged at KangYoon’s mind.
Thanks to World Entertainnt, it beca well-known that live streaming music through the internet was a viable strategy, and Sace also proactively used the chance as an advertisent. But now, Sace betrayed them. KangYoon was flabbergasted.
However, KangYoon did not make the foolish mistake of getting angry at them.
“I guess it can’t be helped. I hope we can et in better circumstances next ti.”
KangYoon ended the call with director Gi SeungHwan who couldn’t hide his apologetic feelings.
‘Can’t handle both at once? Who is it? MG?’
KangYoon had his suspicions as he returned to the company.
He returned to his office and turned on his PC to have a look at Sace.
Indeed, there was a banner on the main page.
[The refreshing eting with the 6 angels. We invite you to Hello Tint’s showcase. Wednesday, July 4th.]
KangYoon was taken aback when he had a look at the banner on the main page. His intuition was indeed correct.
It was very likely that negotiations with MG were occurring before he even managed to contact them. Considering the amount of ti to create the banner and the ti it took to upload it, it ant that it was already over before he even started.
Lee HyunJi, who had heard of the ins and outs of the story also gritted her teeth.
“Looks like we took a blow from MG this ti.”
In Sace’s perspective, it may be more profitable to collaborate with MG since they were a larger-scale company. However, Lee HyunJi still couldn’t hide her wrath.
However, things had already happened. KangYoon was cool-headed about it.
“I think it will be difficult for us to collaborate with Sace this ti. After all, MG will be influencing their actions.”
“……”
Lee HyunJi beca silent. She agreed with that as well.
“But thankfully, the girls of Eddios have the TV side of things in full grasp because of their solo activities. I think we should focus more on that side. As for the online side of things, we should be able to cover for most of it if we utilize Tune. Despite everything, the music video turned out well, and if we upload high-quality videos on their performances, we should be able to attract many people. And to do that, I think we’ll need those cara companies that you ntioned to last ti.”
“Oh, I have everything ready in regards to that. The results are on your desk, president.”
“Thank you. I think we should have an exclusive video professional on Eddios’s side at this opportunity.”
“…That sounds like more work. Okay, then.”
Lee HyunJi was worried about the van not having enough space. She wondered if they would have to end up buying a larger vehicle.
Her mind was in a ss about how to realize KangYoon’s plans.

‘Looks like this is the place.’
Journalist Shin GyeSung stood in front of a building with the ‘LUNAS’ sign. He had so expectations because he was told that this place was exclusive to one company, but he was disappointed due to the shabby exterior appearance.
He was guided by the manager of the building and went inside. However, he was surprised to see the neat insides. He was surprised by the design that seed to be a mix of a concert stage and a club.
‘I heard this place was where president Lee HyunJi belonged to. It sure is different.’
Shin GyeSung, the journalist exclaid and was guided by the manager to the practice room upstairs. When the manager opened the door, Eddios, who had dressed up, was waiting for him.
“Hello! We are Eddios.”
“Ah, yes. Hello there.”
When he had a look at his watch, he saw that there was still 30 minutes until the scheduled ti. He was taken aback. However, he soon rembered that Eddios was a very punctual group even in the past and went inside.
When he did, he saw the owner of World Entertainnt, KangYoon, as well as the director, Lee HyunJi.
“Hello, there!”
“Huh? President!”
Lee HyunJi and Shin GyeSung seed to be old acquaintances as they greeted each other cheerfully. Journalist Shin GyeSung’s face was filled with smiles.
“Please take care of our girls.”
“Hahaha. Well, of course. Don’t worry about it. Oh, this must be…”
“Nice to et you. I’m Lee KangYoon.”
Shin GyeSung was surprised by KangYoon who was a full head taller than him and greeted him.
KangYoon shook hands with him and was very polite towards him, asking him to write good articles. Coffee and snacks were prepared already.
Shin GyeSung never knew that he would be treated so well and beca embarrassed.
“Well, with such treatnt, I don’t think I can stay fair in this interview.”
KangYoon replied with a smile at the journalist’s joke.
“Hahaha. That’s good for us then.”
“Sheesh.”
Even before the interview, the mood was very good. Although many people said that Eddios had lost their value, they were recovering. He never knew that such a well-going group of girls would treat him like so.
KangYoon and Lee HyunJi left the scene in order to provide a comfortable environnt for both Eddios and the journalist. The mbers of Eddios also tried to provide a comfortable environnt for the journalist as well.
‘Whoa…….’
It was hard to receive such treatnt from successful stars. He beca a lot more flexible-minded.
Like that, the interview began in a very good mood.
