Damn Idol - Chapter 141
Only Noblemtl
Fucking Idol Episode 141
Album 13. Revenge
I am a person who lives with a lot of PTSD and trauma.
The events that happened in the timeline that only I remember torment me, trample on me, and then one day disappear.
But most of it is a mistake.
I believe it’s gone, but whenever I get the chance, it pops out and talks to me.
Do you remember that moment?
Just like now.
Boom bang!
“Uh, uh, what should I do?”
“… … .”
“Should I go out?”
As I watch Onsemiro, who is in a panic and doesn’t even realize that she is crying, a moment from the past comes to mind.
“… … .”
I don’t want to think about it.
But the thoughts don’t stop.
… … It was when I was rapping in New York.
In that episode, I challenged a rap duo.
It’s been a while since rap duos disappeared from the major markets, but I don’t think I could sell 200 million rap albums by myself.
So I thought carefully about who I wanted to make music with.
Robin Chase.
A black guy who was always embarrassed because he had a white-sounding name.
A man who had little knowledge because he had little education, but had innate wisdom.
A friend who really liked me.
We had a huge success as a duo, and people started calling us ‘Rush Hour’.
It’s the title of an old movie that was a huge hit in North America.
Featuring Asian Jackie Chan and black Chris Tucker as the main characters.
Our popularity surprised even me.
Their first album went diamond (10 million copies sold) and won a Grammy.
It wasn’t that I had spent several rounds with Robin, it was just the first round.
For the first time, there is beginning to be hope for 200 million copies.
It seemed like everything would be fine if things continued this way.
But Robin ran into trouble.
It was because of his parents and relatives.
It’s common for successful black people to support the communities in which they grew up, but that shouldn’t be taken for granted by those who receive it.
But they took it for granted and demanded more.
Robin, who was wise, thought that his success had rather taken away their happiness.
I believe that although it may make you rich in the short term, it is a path that will ultimately ruin everyone.
“It would be better to establish a local scholarship foundation and provide support in accordance with the system.”
So he turned away from the community… … .
-bang!
He was shot and killed.
I remember the look in Robin’s eyes when I told her that my cousins had come to the hotel complaining.
“What should we do? Zion.”
I don’t remember what I said at the time.
I think he was probably telling me to express my opinion confidently.
That shouldn’t have happened.
I should have called a bodyguard or just gone out with him.
We went straight to Robin the next time and formed a duo again, but we weren’t the same as before.
“Why on earth do you think it’s a sin for me to help my family?”
My obsessive behaviors, fearing the same thing would happen again, caused our relationship to go awry.
At some point Robin gave up on understanding me.
We didn’t become friends, we became business partners.
The album released that way barely achieved platinum (1 million copies).
“This is a great achievement! Why are you acting like that!”
Because the Robin in my memories was much brighter and more talented than this.
I never went to see Robin again after that.
It was something that happened in a timeline that I had completely forgotten about, but now it has come back to me.
Onsemiro’s eyes and Robin’s eyes overlap.
Boom bang!
-Open the door!
At that moment, Onsemiro, who had been in a panic, appeared to be opening the door without realizing it.
“Don’t open it.”
The moment I grabbed Onsemiro and spoke, my mind, which had been caught up in past thoughts, returned to reality.
Let’s sort it out.
It’s now 4:30 in the morning, and Onsemiro’s parents are standing in front of our dormitory door.
The security guards and managers who usually control entry are in the shop.
Today, I have to stop by the shop early in the morning to work on my music show schedule.
It was purely by chance that Onsemiro and I returned to our lodgings.
On Saemi had come to get the choker she had been wearing since practice because she had left it behind.
It was part of the stage costume, but On Sae-mi, who had never worn accessories in her life, felt quite uncomfortable.
He said that the singing seemed to change because his vocal cords felt slightly pressed.
So, to get used to it, I started wearing stage costumes early and got used to it.
It’s not that stylists don’t have the same products, but they can’t help but feel a little different from what they usually wear.
But since I knew I had left it behind, I came with you since I can drive.
So I came into the accommodation.
Boom bang!
-Open the door, you little shit!
-Come on, come on!
I suddenly ran into Onsemiro’s parents.
‘Is it a coincidence?’
There is a high probability that it is a coincidence.
But it could be someone’s intention.
Because it has to be today.
“On Saemi-ro.”
“Uh… … yeah.”
“Listen carefully. I’ve guessed the situation, so I’m just going to ask for the conclusion.”
He continued speaking without even listening to the answer.
“Do you want to help your parents? Financially? And emotionally?”
“… … I don’t know.”
“I have a billion dollars. How much do you want to give me?”
“… … One hundred million. No, five thousand.”
“Again, I have a hundred billion. How much do you want to give me?”
“… …under one hundred million.”
“Let’s say I give you 100 million in cash. How do you want to deliver the money? Do you go and give it to him in person? Or do you go through your manager?”
“manager.”
The answer is out.
“Go to the living room. Turn up the audio as loud as possible, put on your accessories, and practice for the music show stage.”
“what?”
“If you don’t make mistakes in this chaos, you’ll never make mistakes on stage.”
“You want me to practice now… …?”
“Don’t share with your parents, don’t give to them. Be a good person.”
“… … !”
“If you don’t like that word, think of it as donation. Listen carefully. No welfare organization in the world gets money by threatening its sponsors. They appeal and beg.”
“… … .”
“Take the initiative. Let them know that they have to look good to get even a hundred dollars more from you.”
“… … .”
“To do that, you have to succeed. You can’t make mistakes, and you can’t show emotional weakness. So go and practice.”
I sent Onsemiro to the living room.
After a long silence, music begins to be heard, followed by the sound of steps and singing.
I came out hearing that sound.
As I came out, Onsemiro’s parents flinched in surprise and rushed at me like a hawk.
Looking back, I strangely gave Onsemiro a lot of opportunities.
Especially when we were doing Coming Up Next.
If it were my usual self, I would have somehow managed to make the other person obedient, but I didn’t.
At the time, I thought it was a one-time project team and I would just move on.
But when I think about it, I guess that wasn’t the case.
I guess I was unconsciously overlapping Onsemiro and Robin.
However, I do not think that this is an opportunity to correct past mistakes.
Because Onsemiro and Robin are different people.
“Hello. This is Onsemi’s parents.”
But we can deal with it more wisely.
“You have two choices. Would you like to hear them?”
Should we go somewhere and have a look?
“The first one ends with money received from Ryan Entertainment, and the second one ends with money received from both Ryan Entertainment and us.”
Why are you worried?
It’s easy.
“You don’t have to worry. Money is everything in the world, right?”
* * *
6:30 in the morning.
Fans who were selected to participate in the first historical music show recording for Sedal Baekil were half excited and half anxious.
The excitement was, of course, about the 3-month-100-day stage.
Except for Coming Up Next, Sedalbaekil has never held a stage and decorated it.
There were several songs that reached number one on the music charts, and several hit songs that created issues.
Besides, strictly speaking, Coming Up Next’s Sedal Baekil and the current Sedal Baekil are groups with different personalities.
So today’s recording was the first of the first in the history of Se-dal-baek-il.
Titi, who was witnessing this historic moment, could not help but be thrilled.
But apart from this, there was anxiety.
Is it really okay to come to Sanok like this?
‘Is this kind of expression too much?’
I strongly advised them not to bring anything.
Usually, when you win a lottery, if you do something the agency tells you not to do, you get kicked out.
There were cases where he would come to the broadcasting station at the crack of dawn, raise his voice with the fan manager, and then have to go home.
So I did as I was told, but I don’t know what I can do like this.
It was a moment when fans were buzzing with such thoughts.
A number of men appeared, mumbling, carrying something in a large box at the announced personnel check point.
“Let’s check the number of people first.”
A headcount check was quickly conducted under the leadership of a man who was quite old for a fan manager.
At the same time, the staff began to hand out items to those who had completed the headcount check.
First, a 500ml bottle of water.
It seems like they are handing out water bottles to match the hot September weather, even in the early morning, but the water bottles look familiar.
“Ah, this!”
Sedalbaekil is the brand of mineral water that made a surprise advertisement during streaming.
Even looking at the label, you can see the face of Sedalbaekil.
Then, isn’t this a PPL, but a full-page advertisement model?
But that wasn’t it.
“It was specially provided by the mineral water company.”
The streaming broadcast of Sedalbaekil became quite a hot topic due to the issue of the release of the first album.
And then, the issue that suddenly became a hot topic was the mid-roll advertisement for Sedal Baekil.
There was an atmosphere where it was exported a lot for gag purposes, and the bottled water company was very happy about it.
The next items given out were folding chairs, batteries, and cheering stick sockets.
‘There’s no cheering stick… … ?’
But it wasn’t.
The next thing that was provided was a cheering stick.
It had three circles of different sizes intertwined like the symbol of the Sedalbaekil YouTube channel, and the color of the body was deep blue.
The design wasn’t anything particularly special.
But I was satisfied because it felt neat and luxurious.
But it didn’t end there.
A fan that takes into account the season, a small eco-bag, and a card clip to store photocards.
and…….
There were five photocards from the workshop with the words ‘Special 2017’ written on the upper left corner.
Considering that the currently released photocards are ‘2017’, ‘2007’, ‘1997’, and ‘???’, this is the first public release.
The photo was of an unfamiliar face in familiar clothes.
As it turned out, it was a swapped version of the 2017 Pocahontas costumes.
‘Hye, it’s Hyeja.’
‘You’re spreading it out like this… …?’
While fans were sharing such sentiments, the headcount check was completed.
“Please gather here again by nine o’clock. You cannot enter without a numbered bracelet.”
So free time came, and it was obvious what the fans would do.
It’s SNS.
It was just past 7 AM, but there must be many people waiting to hear the news of the three-month 100-day recording.
But those who went online with that thought were bewildered.
This was because the names ‘Sedal Baekil’ and ‘Hansion’ were all over the news sections of portal sites that I usually just pass by.
It’s not even the entertainment section.
There are various things such as society, culture, real-time surge, etc.
‘Wh, what’s going on?’
Fans quickly clicked on the article because they knew this was usually not a good thing.
And then I was shocked.
The issue that started with an exclusive article on MBN was spreading.
