“Okay, now two teams are going to get together to form one group. Everyone listen well to see who your partner will be.”

The partners were revealed one by one and the luckiest in the 3rd round team selection was not one person, but four.

“The next is the only band that passed the 2nd round, ‘Steel Blade’ and their partner will be... Jang Jun Hyuk.”

The Steel Blade mbers did not show it, but they were overjoyed that they had gotten one step closer to the top 10. What luck!

“We’ll reveal the mission song. It’s Jewelry’s Super Star.”

The song released in 2005 was the first that got Jewelry 1st place. It made the other participants jealous. It was established that it was advantageous to have a fun song.

Once all of the partners and mission songs were revealed, everyone hid their claws and started to greet their partners.

“It’s nice to et you. I’m the vocal, Han Ki Su. Oh, don’t punch because I’m not using formal speech with you. You can use informal speech too. Ha ha.”

Jun Hyuk was uncomfortable with the band mber who was acting more friendly than was necessary.

“But do you know this song?”

“The mission song? Yeah. You don’t know it?”

“No. I don’t have CDs of idol songs.”

“Then let’s hear the song first. We’ve heard it, but we don’t really rember it either.”

Everyone listened to the MP3 player. After they listened to the whole song, the mbers of Steel Blade sighed in relief. It did not seem like there would be any problem changing the song into band music because the song itself was very light.

“What do you think?”

“It’s fun.”

“Right? We got lucky. It won’t be hard to change it to tal.”

“I heard you’re a producing genius. Do you have any ideas?”

The judges’ evaluation from the 5-person mission had beco a hot topic between the contestants. A producing genius worthy of the highest praise. Jun Hyuk who made great music without exposing himself could make this into a heavy tal song.

The band leader who was also the vocal had high expectations, but Jun Hyuk made all of those expectations co crashing down.

“Do as you please since we’ll be dropped anyway. I’ll go along with whatever you want to do.”

“What?”

“We can’t go to the top 10 anyway.”

Jun Hyuk’s words that ca from out of the blue hit his head hard, “It can’t be. Do you know sothing? Is it already decided? Already?

“No. I don’t know that but you guys aren’t that good. You just fit in a band to broaden the assortnt. There’s no way you don’t know you guys aren’t good, is there?”

They had not anticipated that this young kid would be saying that they would be eliminated because of a shortage of talent. Even the judges had given them complints on the original song they presented in the area preliminaries. In round 1 and 2, they had received the evaluation that they were a band with feeling.

But he is saying that their skill is poor?

Jun Hyuk kept speaking in a sarcastic tone without paying attention to the mbers shaking in anger.

“You sir on the drums, say sothing. Don’t you know?”

The vocal, Han Ki Su spoke to Jun Hyuk when he suddenly sought agreent from the dumr,

“Is that right? We’re not that good? Let’s hear it then. You speak as the genius producer. What’s so bad?”

“If you force the high notes and barely hit them, the listeners are the ones who are uncomfortable. A vocalist is soone who can hit the high notes easily. ‘Soot’ catches on to it. Soot! A person who uses the voice instrunt freely and well. That’s what we call a vocalist but you have a hard ti with the high notes and your voice itself is lacking strength... It’s like you’re just imitating a rock band.”

“Hey! It just sounds like that because my voice is thin.”

“What are you talking about? Being thick and thin is an issue of tone. That has nothing to do with strength. Not all tal band vocals are Ronnie Jas Dio. There’s Klaus ine too.”

Han Ki Su’s face felt heated as the weaknesses he was aware of were being bothered.

“Fine. Say that’s true for . Then the guitar?”

“Guitars aren’t there just to play do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do. It’s about expressiveness. Ah, you asshole.”

While everyone was confused by the swearing that had co out of nowhere, Jun Hyuk was looking at the guitarist.

“Express this with the guitar. ‘Ah, you asshole.’ Or um... ‘Please excuse this one ti.’ Sothing like that is okay too. Scale, technique... these things aren’t important, but you don’t know that.”

Jun Hyuk went over each mber one by one as though he were a judge.

“Can you play the bass all day with one beat? Without a trono? If you can’t do that, you haven’t practiced enough. Or you can’t keep a beat.”

They had not heard such severe criticism since they started performing in Hongdae. This assessnt was the sa as saying that they were beginners.

They thought that he was going to tear the drumr apart next, but he did not.

“You asked for an idea on the arrangent, right? I already finished the edit. It’s just that you guys probably won’t like it.”

He had only heard it once. After that, he had been evaluating the band mbers’ skills. When is he saying he finished arranging the song?

“How did you do it?”

At the words that he finished the arrangent, their curiosity overca their indignation.

“Drum instruntal. The drum is the main. Everyone else is slight and the vocal can be taken out completely. The best thing this band can do is to support the drum.”

The VJ marking Jun Hyuk had a vague idea of the music he was trying to pursue. This arrogant young genius only thought about music. He only focused on finding the best of any song. It was certain that he never had the intentions of becoming a star.

Jun Hyuk does not care about things like hitting high notes as the public likes or familiarity that is easy to listen to. He only thinks about the music.

Though it is an old song, it is still by a girl group. He wants to change that into a drum instruntal?

When the drumr heard the words drum instruntal, he raised his hand in surprise,

“No. What do you an a drum instruntal? It’ll never work out. Let’s just go with the usual rock. It’s easy to change this song to a rock version.”

Jun Hyuk ruined the cold atmosphere that the drumr was trying to ease again.

“Oy. Now I know. Sir, you guys are in this state now because you keep giving in. The person with the most talent should have dragged everyone along. The vocal and guitarist don’t know that they’re not that good because you cover for their singing and guitar.”

Eventually, the band leader and vocal left the practice room and the guitarist and bassist followed him to calm him down.

Producer Kim Ki Sik checked what the VJ had fild since they were in a state where all practice was suspended, and he could not stop laughing. Jang Jun Hyuk said and acted in ways that always made news.

The discord between Jang Jun Hyuk and the other participants would undoubtedly beco the best in increasing tension on the program.
