An Agency That Attracts Genius Trainees - An Agency That Attracts Genius Trainees chapter 145

Called.

Leaving behind the cheers, I returned to the company with the staff.

From now on, the full-fledged D-Day countdown has begun.

“First of all, it became a story that Sia’s comeback stage will be the first to be presented at KBC.”

This was because WH had become close to KBC while doing many things together.

As soon as the news that Sia was preparing for a comeback came out, the KBC music broadcasting PD contacted me first.

Let’s do the comeback stage with them first.

It was also a connection with entertainment that could promote new songs in the future, so I was about to accept it readily.

“How is the PR article going?”

“yes. Now the story with reporters is all over. When news of the comeback is announced, articles will be published all at once.”

If ＜Monthly Jay-Z＞ is the process of making rapper Jay-Z a brand as a singer.

WH Enter started preparing for a new seasonality project.

In fact, this was a project that started when Arin’s ＜cherry blossoms＞ became a huge hit beyond expectations.

In spring, Arin’s ＜cherry blossoms＞.

Sia’s ＜Vacation＞ in the summer.

In the fall, with Yuanna’s 2nd album coming out soon.

It was a project to make you think of our WH singer’s songs in each season.

All that remains is winter.

And sooner or later one of our kids will complete the final puzzle?

*

After Jay-Z’s ＜Monthly Jay-Z＞ was announced.

People’s interest was burning hot.

The problem is that the fire of interest has been ignited in the wrong direction.

[Does WH not select trainees?]

it was about

Even before, I would have considered it slightly, but I had no intention of raising trainees.

I was just trying to gather talented kids by using this fraudulent ability, which is a talent that only I can see.

Since the company was small, we focused on gathering kids who could debut right away and making them successful rather than a long-term vision.

And rather than growing in size like other large agencies.

I also thought about going with the feeling of a small elite like now.

Why is everything in the past tense?

From noble mtl dot com

It’s because Jay-Z and Sia’s interest in me has rekindled since the comeback announcement.

If it had been a fire that might die out with time.

Now people have grown to the point where they won’t go away if I don’t answer.

[Why doesn’t WH select trainees?]

– My friend’s brother is a middle school student this year.

I said my dream is to become an idol singer

So when I asked which agency I wanted to join, he said WH Enter.

They take care of their singers the best and say that every song they release is a super hit.

So, with a friend, I looked for something to protect my little brother’s dream.

WH doesn’t select trainees?

What could be the reason?

└ ㅇㅅ Rather, I choose Arin who had a trainee life or Sia who debuted but failed. Didn’t you pick a trainee?

└ Actually, at this point, I wonder why. Now, I think the profitable part or scale will be enough.

└ Are you going to slip away without an answer like last time?

└ Now everyone wants to hear the reason from CEO Choi Woo-hyuk’s mouth, so it’s hard to just ignore it?

It was.

This is why WH doesn’t pick trainees? It wasn’t a threatening question.

The driving force behind the successful launch of Jay-Z’s ＜Monthly Jay-Z＞ caught my ankle.

just anticipation.

People started to look at me with anticipation after seeing my continued success.

WH CEO Choi Woo-hyeok, who has made existing singers successful, what does a singer who has been working hard to raise from a young age look like?

It was a fire that started with such anticipation.

And with the ripple effect stronger than expected, an emergency meeting was held at the request of the team leaders.

“CEO. I think this is a good direction. Even so, I received a lot of inquiries from people around me. Why doesn’t our company hire trainees?”

“that’s right. If we hold an audition through this opportunity, I think it will attract a lot of attention. You will also be able to select good friends.”

Of course, it wasn’t just positive comments.

“Since this is different from managing existing singers, I think we need to take a cautious approach in the current situation.”

“The reason is?”

“Anyway, the cost of nurturing idols is not small. The biggest problem is that we cannot guarantee unconditional success.”

Even though I’ve been writing a success story so far.

Gathering young friends and making them successful as a group through long-term investment was another story.

Even with the 5 major agencies, there were not only a couple of groups that tried and failed.

It was also a high-risk, high-return market with uncertain success.

I thought deeply while listening to the opinions of the staff.

Which path should I choose?

Above all, meeting people’s expectations would also mean increasing the size of the company.

“Let’s do this.”

At my words, everyone’s eyes are on me.

The most important thing in the entertainment industry is to form a platform.

common people’s interest. Outstanding talent and even an agency that can support him.

In other words, for WH now, all the plates were ready.

It makes no sense if you can’t even eat the prepared meal.

“Actually, I have been thinking about this for a long time.”

It was to come to a conclusion about the concerns that had been going on so far.

It’s something I’ve been thinking about constantly while collaborating with Jeeyoung Lee’s vocal trainer and the choreography team of Chaian.

“Now, WH is not a small agency like before.”

At my words, the staff nodded.

The days when Il-do Park and the two of them worked in this spacious office are gone.

All the kids in the group started their own activities, so we continued to recruit people.

“If it were us not too long ago, I’m sure we would have said that such a plan was unreasonable.”

but. I stopped talking for a while, and everyone’s eyes turned to my mouth.

“I think our current WH is capable enough.”

“you’re right.”

“that’s right.”

As soon as I finished my words, the staff nodded.

This wasn’t just about my ability to see talent.

The ability and personality that I saw as the most important while steadily increasing the number of employees.

Because the result of all these processes has become a company with excellent employees.

“That’s why the attention of many people and aspiring singers is focused now. We are going to select trainees for the first time.”

Finally, for the first time, WH said that they would select trainees.

Of course, the story does not end here.

“However, we want to start with the things we have the most strengths.”

I wonder if it was difficult to understand my words right away, and they look at me full of curiosity.

WH had a weekly WH broadcast that communicated with fans for a long time.

Although it is currently temporarily closed.

I was thinking of using that.

“First, through the new season of Weekly WH, we will show the growth of the young trainees to be selected this time.”

If you are a fan who has been with the growth of young friends.

There was a high possibility that he would grow into an avid fan who would be with him for a long time.

“If you simply show the kids growth, you might lose interest quickly.”

Simple long-term idol development programs are still overflowing.

“We plan to have our company’s singers write growth stories together so that trainees can be motivated and fans can continue to pay attention.”

Above all, the biggest motivation for trainees was whether the company had a role model close to their dreams.

Right now, Arin had taken Mina from another agency, Cherry Berry, as her role model.

It was quite difficult for young people to simply practice for success without a specific goal.

The trainees I want to select through this opportunity are really young people with talent.

“By utilizing these various factors, children are continuously motivated. And we plan to attract endless interest from fans.”

If you show the trainees’ growth like that.

A picture that accompanies the success model that the trainees will be aiming for will be able to immerse the fans more.

U & Na’s Arin, Yuna, Sia, and even Jay-Z.

There were kids who were walking the path to success while doing different music.

“And, like now, vocal training goes to director Lee Ji-young. And I will leave the dance class to Director Cheian. Please check the contracts for that part.”

They were teachers with outstanding talent and skills than anyone else in teaching others.

The talent I saw with my own eyes is also a talent, but the results that I actually showed were also a great success.

“Just in time, one more floor is coming right below us, so we will expand it to be a facility for trainees.”

As many important stories come out one after another, you can see the busy staff taking notes.

I just need to set big goals.

Now, the detailed way to achieve that goal is to be found by competent employees.

“We will start as soon as everything is ready.”

It was the moment when WH Enter’s first long-term project was decided.

＜ Episode 142 ＞ End

＜ Episode 143 ＞

The place I was heading to was Arin and Yuna’s dorm.

Rather than going to pick up the kids, I was going to check what Park Ki-bum and Ringo were saying.

“Should I say that both Arin and Yuna have deepened their emotional expression? It’s hard to express this accurately in words. I felt my emotions go deeper.”

This is what Park Ki-beom said to me.

I could understand what Arin meant because I’ve been watching him develop from the sidelines.

Because I was the one who followed Arin right away to the US and watched the performance of ＜Busking＞ and watched Arin’s further development.

But Park Ki-bum’s words mean that not only Arin, but also Yuna, whom I couldn’t see because of her busy drama filming schedule, has changed.

These are the words of composers who react sensitively to minor changes in singers, so you should check it out.

“CEO. Are you here?”

“Chief! I arrived first and was waiting for you.”

you’re next door

The words filled his throat, but he swallowed them again.

Seeing the smiling faces of Arin and Yuna just made me smile.

The reason I came to Arin’s dorm was because there was a practice room with equipment here as well.

“I met the composers a few days ago and talked about your 2nd regular album.”

Arin and Yuna nodded without answering my words.

“The composers praised the development of both of you. So I want to check it out myself. Is it possible right away?”

“yes.”

“of course!”

The songs I requested from Arin and Yuna were Yuanna’s 1st regular album ＜In the Cafe＞ and ＜Forgetting＞.

It’s the song Arin and Yuna practiced the most.

And when you turn on the MR while sleeping, it was a song that hummed the lyrics even with a face full of drowsiness.

“I will begin.”

“okay.”

As soon as I nod my head, the song starts.

The first one was Yuna.

[In the cafe where we were last happy]

ah.

This is why Park Ki-bum and Ringo said that.

The moment I heard Yuna’s first line.

I could understand why the composers felt the change after hearing Arin and Yuna’s songs.

Yuna’s strength as a vocalist was her rich emotional expression.

Commonly known sensitive vocals.

Yuna’s voice became even deeper.

[Like your heart that has cooled in a cold teacup]

Arin didn’t need to say anything.

I heard it on ＜Busking＞ and when I was recording ＜Happy＞ with Minah of Cherry Berry.

The reason I was surprised was Yuna.

Arin, I had been practicing steadily for the continued filming of ＜Busking＞.

But it wasn’t Yuna.

Apparently, Yuna was the one who had a busy day due to the filming schedule for ＜Chasing to the End＞ until recently.

That’s why I thought Yuna would need a lot of training before releasing her 2nd regular album.

However, I knew it the moment I heard Yuna’s first line.

If you’re in that state right now, you can start recording right away and complete the album.

Arin and Yuna were playing enough songs to satisfy my ears.

“How was it?”

As the song ends, Yuna asks with throbbing eyes.

It’s not a feeling of excitement.

It was a trembling look in her eyes right before she sang in front of me for the first time in a while and was judged.

It’s been a long time since I sang in front of me and tried to get evaluated, so I must be nervous.

Looking at Yuna, I asked.

“Have you ever practiced separately, Yuna?”

In response to my question, Yuna nodded as if it were natural. Then, he quickly raised his hand and pointed at Arin.

“I’m a singer, of course!”

After shouting confidently for a while, Yuna starts confessing the truth.

“Actually, since long ago, Arin relieved stress by singing with her unnie. Especially during the filming of the drama, I bullied her a lot.”

“I see.”

It was a moment when I understood why, despite the hiatus from filming the drama, Yuna’s skills improved.

One of Yuna’s ways to relieve stress was singing with Arin.

It seems that Arin was also with Yuna while carefully catching Yuna’s vocalization.

“Ahem. It’s thanks to Yuna’s second teacher, who is also recognized by world-class singers.”

The first is Jiyoung Lee. I can hear Yuna talking behind her back.

While listening to those words, I looked at Arin and Yuna alternately.

The two of them have been close since the first meeting.

That’s why whenever we’re bored, the two of us knock on each other’s doors and spend time together.

Especially like the kids who always say that they are the happiest when they sing together, to be able to spend a lot of time singing together.

“well. Arin unnie corrected even the slightest out of tune. When it comes to singers, my sister is a monster. A monster!”

“You are a smoke freak.”

For a while, I looked at the two of them, calling each other monsters, and organized my thoughts.

see.

I tried to give Yuna a little more intensive vocal training time.

When I actually check it, I think it would be better if the two of them did what they have done so far.

“Then let’s do this.”

“yes?”

The two heads that were fighting at my words turned this way.

“Let’s continue preparing for the album with Arin taking care of Yuna, like now. But you will have to get tested by Director Lee Ji-young once a week.”

“yes!”

“yes.”
