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 members...”
“Ah. no. “It shouldn’t get in the way of practice.”
“no. I’m just saying hello for a moment. 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 Entertainment’s practice room was in the basement. The building where the entertainment 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 basement. This clearly showed that it was a small agency.
“The practice room is in the basement.”
“yes. Probably because of soundproofing issues or something like that. “It’s a poor environment...”
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 investment, the environment has improved a lot.”
CEO Jeong Hye-seong smiled at Do-wook as if she was grateful. Seeing CEO Jeong thanking me made me 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 same time, it had strengths that were good for storytelling when it debuted. At the same time, unlike before, the late investment money had come in, so the album quality could have been improved.
When I looked inside the glass-doored practice room, I saw the members 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 members 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 members saying hello were loud. CEO Jeong Hye-seong waved her hand as if to roughly tell people to do something and said.
“Uh, everyone, it’s not time for practice yet, right? “I have someone to say hello to today...”
The members 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 members. At Dowook’s sudden appearance, the ‘Girls’ members literally screamed in surprise like little girls.
“oh!”
“Aaaah!”
There was also a member who made sounds that KK fans would make. He was the youngest member at 18 and actually liked KK so he started training to become an idol.
“The investor I mentioned last time. “Everyone say hello.”
The members came out one by one, introduced their names, and bowed. He greeted me so politely that when I bent down, the back of my head fell forward.
Dowook felt burdened, but received greetings from the members anyway.
“I really want to meet you so much... Hey... What should I do...”
Dahye, the youngest member who was a fan of KK, was almost in tears. said.
Except for one or two members who were trainees at other agencies, most of the members were selected through Hyesung Entertainment 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 members from other large entertainment 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.
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 members from the same country.
In the case of KK, there were no foreign members, 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 members 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 meant that he would accept opinions without overdoing it.
***
After returning from Hyesung Entertainment, Dowook sat down with the members to eat dinner and talk about various things.
“......Dowook is also a person who will become great.”
“It’s already become big.”
Ahn Hyeong-seo and Jeong Yoon-gi said with admiration.
This was after it was revealed to the members that they had invested in the production of a female idol group.
Most members used the money they received to buy a house for their parents or a small commercial 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 something like that. I think it would be an amazing feeling if that idol group came out and performed together in the future. “What is the group name?”
“Girls.”
“Wow girls.... Pretty?”
At Kim Won’s question, the members 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 dreamed 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 me 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 meaningful.
“You are our role model.”
The members’ eyes sparkled at Kim Won’s words.
‘role model!’
It was accurate. The KK members felt like they were full even though they hadn’t eaten yet. It was a different sense of accomplishment than that which comes from direct accomplishment.
“It’s rewarding. “I need to work harder.”
Seok Ji-hoon, who is currently preparing for his album and studying song composition, said. Other members also nodded. Just then, the waiters came over and started serving the prepared food.
“okay. “Let’s do well tomorrow too.”
At the leader’s words, the members recalled tomorrow’s schedule. I was scheduled to visit the Blue House.
