Girls (4)
CEO Jeong Hye-seong, who was continuing the conversation by explaining the direction of the group girls’ activities to Do-wook, asked.
“Then, while you’re here, you can at least practice with the mbers…”
“Ah. no. “It shouldn’t get in the way of practice.”
“no. I’m just saying hello for a mont. On the contrary, I know very well that Mr. Dowook is busy.”
Dowook nodded at CEO Jeong Hye-seong’s words.
The two got up from their seats and headed toward the practice room.
Hyesung Entertainnt’s practice room was in the basent. The building where the entertainnt was located was a 10-story building, but the representative office was on the 8th floor, related offices were on the 7th floor, and the practice room was in the basent. This clearly showed that it was a small agency.
“The practice room is in the basent.”
“yes. Probably because of soundproofing issues or sothing like that. “It’s a poor environnt…”
CEO Jeong Hye-seong said as if she was a little embarrassed by Do-wook’s words. Dowook responded as if telling him not to think like that.
“You can grow it further in the future. “It’s great that you brought us all the way here, CEO.”
“Hehe… Fortunately, thanks to Mr. Dowook’s recent investnt, the environnt has improved a lot.”
CEO Jeong Hye-seong smiled at Do-wook as if she was grateful. Seeing CEO Jeong thanking made realize just how much he suffered from financial problems.
‘In the past, we nevertheless succeeded with girls to a certain extent. What a great person.’
Dowook sincerely hoped that CEO Jeong Hye-seong would elevate the girls to a higher position without restrictions.
Girls currently has the disadvantage of being a small agency, but at the sa ti, it had strengths that were good for storytelling when it debuted. At the sa ti, unlike before, the late investnt money had co in, so the album quality could have been improved.
When I looked inside the glass-doored practice room, I saw the mbers warming up.
Since the title song had not been released yet, the girls were strengthening their basics and practicing creating a repertoire of various dance covers like KK did.
When CEO Jeong Hye-seong opened the door, a tinkling sound was heard from a small bell attached to the glass door.
The eyes of the mbers who were stretching and pressing each other’s backs turned towards the door.
They looked surprised at CEO Jeong Hye-seong’s surprise visit and quickly greeted him with enthusiasm.
“hello!”
“Hello, CEO!
The voices of the mbers saying hello were loud. CEO Jeong Hye-seong waved her hand as if to roughly tell people to do sothing and said.
“Uh, everyone, it’s not ti for practice yet, right? “I have soone to say hello to today…”
The mbers looked like rabbits at CEO Jeong Hye-seong’s words.
There were seven girls in total. The oldest, the leader, was 22 years old, and the rest were all 18, 19, or 20 years old.
Everyone had an untidy, fresh look.
Do-wook, who was standing behind CEO Jeong Hye-seong, stepped forward and nodded slightly to the mbers. At Dowook’s sudden appearance, the ‘Girls’ mbers literally scread in surprise like little girls.
“oh!”
“Aaaah!”
There was also a mber who made sounds that KK fans would make. He was the youngest mber at 18 and actually liked KK so he started training to beco an idol.
“The investor I ntioned last ti. “Everyone say hello.”
The mbers ca out one by one, introduced their nas, and bowed. He greeted so politely that when I bent down, the back of my head fell forward.
Dowook felt burdened, but received greetings from the mbers anyway.
“I really want to et you so much… Hey… What should I do…”
Dahye, the youngest mber who was a fan of KK, was almost in tears. said.
Except for one or two mbers who were trainees at other agencies, most of the mbers were selected through Hyesung Entertainnt auditions and street casting.
Since it was a new company, I was a trainee for as long as 2 years or as short as 1 year. Considering the trainee period of mbers from other large entertainnt companies, it was relatively short. However, because I was more anxious that I might not be able to debut, I focused more on practicing, and even though the period was short, I never fell short in terms of the amount of practice.
Even though I practiced as hard as I could and was confird as a mber, it was an uncertain debut.
Even though she was young, Da-hye had a strong will to debut and stand on the sa stage as KK. When she saw Do-wook’s face, she felt like she was going to cry.
It felt like sunlight shining through the layers of fog.
“Ah……”
Do-wook was embarrassed and stood unable to do either this or that. CEO Jeong Hye-seong said that it was an expected reaction because he knew how much Da-hye liked KK.
The mbers next to Da-hye comforted her and told her not to cry.
“Nice to et you too. “It’s really hard to practice…”
When Do-wook asked in a friendly tone, Da-hye shook her head with bright eyes.
“I really… I really want to stand on the sa stage…”
“Dahye, you’re Dahye, right? If you work hard, you will soon be able to do that.”
At Do-wook’s words, Da-hye pursed her lips and nodded vigorously. It was a look in his eyes that showed trendous will. Dowook calmly looked around at the other mbers one by one.
Not only Da-hye, but also the other mbers seed confident that they could make their debut when they thought that Do-wook was an investor who helped them.
Since the girls trusted only one person, CEO Jeong Hye-seong, and ran, Do-wook’s presence was justified.
The mbers’ eyes looking at themselves were full of desire to make a successful debut.
‘It was good to see their faces in person…’
In the past, I only knew about the girls as a viewer through TV. Of course, you could feel the mbers’ fighting spirit through TV as well. However, when I t him in person, the vitality in his eyes was more than I expected.
‘Just as there were limits to CEO Jeong Hye-seong’s planning due to limitations in capital, the mbers’ abilities were also blocked from further developnt.’
Dowook thought. We even calculated the possibility that the group Girls could grow into a world-class group rather than just being a rival to ‘Valentine’, which is sure to be released soon from Ara Entertainnt.
Even though Dowook couldn’t know the future up to that point, it was still a calculation worth making.
If the group grew to that point, Dowook would also receive considerable wealth and fa.
“Everyone will be able to do well. “Looking at it this way, I’m even more convinced that it’s likely to be like that.”
Do-wook’s words were words of strength to the mbers and even CEO Jeong Hye-seong. The temperature in the cold practice room rose warmly.
After the brief eting, Dowook left the practice room.
Dowook once again confird his location. Of course I knew that I was popular with the public, but the fact that I could give soone else a dream was sothing new to .
Before he knew it, Dowook had gone from being a drear to soone who could share his dreams.
“But the mbers are confird to be those seven?”
Dowook asked as he walked up the stairs to the first floor.
CEO Jeong Hye-seong, who had a pleasant smile on her face, erased her smile and asked back.
“uh. But… it wasn’t that good…?”
It was a team that CEO Jeong Hye-seong put together with her best efforts.
Since many talented and talented trainees belonged to large entertainnt companies, those who ca to Hyesung Entertainnt felt that they were lacking.
However, because the mbers had endured harsh training, they were now confident that they could compete anywhere.
CEO Jeong Hye-seong felt her heart sink, wondering if her confidence was just her own arrogance.
“no. Not at all. It was really nice to see that everyone had a clear will. “It also reminds of my trainee days.”
CEO Jeong Hye-seong’s expression barely relaxed at Do-wook’s words.
“But…”
“…So?”
Although Do-wook really only intended to invest, Do-wook added so opinions. It was also an opinion that anyone could express.
“I think it would be nice to have one more person. “I was wondering what it would be like to have soone from overseas.”
It was not essential considering only activities within Korea, but it was sothing that had to be considered if one was to achieve success in overseas markets as well.
Do-wook also worked overseas and learned why Ara Entertainnt had such a system in place when forming a team. Certainly, if there is a mber who can speak English or other languages, the restrictions on activities even when overseas are reduced by about half.
When there were people from their own country there, fans of that country were considerably less wary of the group.
Of course, they liked K-POP Korean groups, but they inevitably opened their hearts more to mbers from the sa country.
In the case of KK, there were no foreign mbers, only those who studied abroad, but they were so unique that they could be said to be an exception to everything.
“It’s an overseas branch…”
CEO Jeong Hye-seong lowered his head.
KK was already Korea’s most internationally known singer. Since those were Do-wook’s words, not only as an investor, but also as CEO Jeong Hye-seong, I couldn’t help but care.
Although it was a composition that CEO Jeong Hye-seong took for granted from the beginning, it was not easy to bring in foreign mbers from a new agency that was unknown even in Korea.
“If possible, I would like it too.”
Do-wook also nodded as if he understood what CEO Jeong Hye-seong said.
“yes. Besides, the current teamwork and atmosphere must not be broken…”
“That’s right. “I will try to develop a better eye for people.”
Dowook laughed at CEO Jeong Hye-seong’s words. It ant that he would accept opinions without overdoing it.
***
After returning from Hyesung Entertainnt, Dowook sat down with the mbers to eat dinner and talk about various things.
“……Dowook is also a person who will beco great.”
“It’s already beco big.”
Ahn Hyeong-seo and Jeong Yoon-gi said with admiration.
This was after it was revealed to the mbers that they had invested in the production of a female idol group.
Most mbers used the money they received to buy a house for their parents or a small comrcial building. The remaining money was in the bank account.
“Well, I didn’t produce it, I just paid for it.”
“Still, it’s great that you thought of investing in sothing like that. I think it would be an amazing feeling if that idol group ca out and perford together in the future. “What is the group na?”
“Girls.”
“Wow girls…. Pretty?”
At Kim Won’s question, the mbers all glared at Kim Won.
“You too have a strong character.”
It was a warning from the youngest Seok Ji-hoon. Kim Won shrugged his shoulders. Dowook also laughed it off.
“Anyway, I felt strange. “There is a friend who saw us and dread of becoming an idol…”
“You are even helping that friend achieve his dream.”
“haha. “That too.”
Dowook responded to Jeong Yoon-gi’s words. Taehyung Park, who was listening quietly, also added.
“You helped achieve my dream…”
Do-wook felt proud in his heart at Park Tae-hyung’s words. I thought I was only chasing my dreams and goals, but that wasn’t the case.
Life as Kang Do-wook felt more aningful.
“You are our role model.”
The mbers’ eyes sparkled at Kim Won’s words.
‘role model!’
It was accurate. The KK mbers felt like they were full even though they hadn’t eaten yet. It was a different sense of accomplishnt than that which cos from direct accomplishnt.
“It’s rewarding. “I need to work harder.”
Seok Ji-hoon, who is currently preparing for his album and studying song composition, said. Other mbers also nodded. Just then, the waiters ca over and started serving the prepared food.
“okay. “Let’s do well tomorrow too.”
At the leader’s words, the mbers recalled tomorrow’s schedule. I was scheduled to visit the Blue House.
