Episode 120: Communication

Actually, I said it and then said, “Oops.”

The World Scout Congress.

I feel like something is off.

But producer Seon Hye-in got hooked on it.

“It’s good… … ? It’s good? The more I think about it, the better it seems! World Scout!”

I couldn’t help but ask back, a little suspiciously.

“Really… …?”

“Yes! I love it!”

Hehe.

I thought about it again.

hmm.

It’s good.

A place where girls of all kinds meet for the first time and build friendships.

It’s just right, but… … .

“But wouldn’t I look a bit childish in a scout uniform?”

It’s not like it’s not possible since the kids are still minors, but is that attractive? If you ask yourself, it doesn’t seem like it is…

Besides, Shizuka and Minsu will be adults next year… … .

But producer Seon Hye-in did not back down.

“It’s okay! It’s just a concept anyway. It’s not like we’re promoting Scout. You just have to give them a general idea of ​​the atmosphere, and you can wear different outfits in different scenes. Just think of it as setting the background and stage.”

oh?

Then, the music video director who had been listening quietly added a word.

“I think it’s good too.”

He must have searched for it in the meantime, because he turned his laptop around and showed us the photos.

“As you can see, the uniforms are different for each country, so the design can be changed as much as you want. There are also many photos of them wearing everyday clothes.”

The director showed everyone the photos one by one, his eyes sparkling with passion.

“I think we can create a lot of different scenes with this concept. I think we can mix up the messages well.”

The favorable response continued.

“It’s a virtual scout competition where different girls gather together… … .”

“Don’t you think the lyrics match well?”

“That’s right. When we get together, we ask questions like, “What is MBTI?”

“The picture would be pretty, right? It’s basically camping, right? It could even give off a dormitory vibe, and it’s even a tent. It feels… … .”

“And of course, we can’t forget the campfire!”

“Is it good?”

“Is it good?”

“great!”

In the end, the concept of this album was unanimously decided to be ‘World Scout Competition’.

“Wow… … .”

Mr. Lee Hwi-ya looked at me with sparkling eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Admiration.

east longitude.

pride.

Twinkle twinkle.

I turned my head away in embarrassment.

… … Don’t do that.

Because it’s Pororo.

* * *

After the concept was decided, we divided into teams.

The music video director, photographer, and executive producer were having an idea meeting, and I decided to sketch out the costumes in the meantime.

“Huh? You’re going to start designing the costumes right now? Our meeting won’t even take 3 hours… … .”

“That’s enough.”

“Huh? Huh?”

The photographer and the music video director, who were working with me for the first time, looked back and forth between me and the executive producer in disbelief.

Is that okay? Is that nonsense? It was a wink with that meaning.

But executive producer Seon Hye-in, who had already worked with me, just smiled.

“Please take care of me, Designer.”

“Yes. I’ll bring it over quickly.”

So School Zone and I left the conference room.

The kids took one of the practice rooms and danced and played, and I sat in one corner and drew on my iPad.

The cameraman took a picture of me like that, and Lee Hwi-ya stood next to me and started asking me questions about this and that.

As someone in charge of YouTube, this is an opportunity she absolutely cannot miss, as it involves an idol with a huge name like School Zone.

“Are you drawing it right now?”

Her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

“Not right now. I need to think about it first.”

“Wow! How do you come up with ideas?”

“There are things that have come out. Scouts, travel… … Then, we need to make scout uniforms, and we also need clothes that look like they’re going on a free trip… … .”

Lee Hwi-ya, who had been looking up at the ceiling and lost in thought, shouted while clutching his head.

“Ugh! Nothing comes to mind.”

“In those cases, I usually look for references.”

“Reference?”

“Yes. I look at various uniform designs, photos taken while traveling, and other designers’ works with similar themes. I look for parts to borrow, parts to vary, and parts to remove.”

“Oh… … !”

Her eyes sparkled. She quickly opened her notebook and started searching for references.

I closed my eyes next to him.

“Oh, that’s right, designer.”

“yes?”

“You said earlier, ‘I’m looking for references.’”

“yes.”

“Why are you ‘looking for me’? As if you were talking about someone else… … .”

I smiled awkwardly at those words.

uh.

hmm.

How do you answer this?

“Ah. I have all the references in my head.”

Eww.

Now that I say it, there is no such thing as showing off.

What should I do? Should I ask them to edit this part?

“Really?”

Lee Hwi-ya opens his eyes wide.

Suddenly, I thought that I should lie… … but it was ambiguous.

She’s someone I’ll be working with going forward, so why bother looking up references that you don’t need to?

I just decided to roughly crush it.

“Well, anyway, I’ll get to work now.”

“Ah, ah! Yes!”

“Oh. And. Just look up some references and observe your school zone friends for now. That will help too. You can look up references later.”

“yes!”

“Then, Mr. Whiya, take your time thinking about the design. If it’s good, I’ll adopt it.”

“It is an honor!”

Her concept in our video is disciple.

But I really do think of him as a disciple.

I know it might be too much for her since she’s still a beginner… … But I thought that if the idea was good, I could polish it up a bit and make a design with her name on it.

anyway.

I need to finish work first for now.

I closed my eyes again.

Ideal type browsing has been activated.

We looked at the changing aspects of the ideal type by adding various conditions such as country, age, and situation, including the School Zone members as conditions.

surely…….

Scout uniforms are different in each country.

People’s ideal images of school zone scout uniforms varied greatly.

There was the commonly thought of yellow, but all kinds of colors were possible, including sky blue, purple, lime green, and red.

‘This is secretly pretty good, isn’t it?’

I smiled as I looked at the images of children that came to mind while browsing through the ideal types.

Han Min-ha was wearing a bright blue shirt with shorter sleeves and shorter pants, with a few of the collar buttons undone for better mobility.

The scarf that should be worn around the neck is also wrapped around the arm.

On the other hand, Yoon Chae-in was a lady herself. For one thing, she wasn’t wearing shorts.

He wore trousers that were tight-fitting, like riding breeches, but had a longer rise and fall.

On top of that, the tight and short purple shirt was luxurious, and the particularly colorful scarf stood out.

Emily Cruz was wearing a completely nude dress with her shirt off and wrapped around her waist, while Shizuka was wearing a simple yet cute outfit with a loose one-piece dress with a belt to emphasize her waist and natural pleats on the clothes. Even the hat on her head was cute.

“Wait? Is there a one-piece dress with the scout uniform? Isn’t it shorts?”

With that thought in mind, I did a search.

“Oh… … . The Girl Scout uniform from the 1930s looks similar to this. The one Shizuka is wearing is much cuter though.”

Should I say it’s somewhat retro?

I feel this once again, but the ability to browse ideal types is truly amazing.

Since the standard is what people ‘find attractive’, it naturally incorporates not only the latest trends but also things like nostalgia for the old days.

The historical accuracy is perfect, and the reinterpretation is also perfect.

I continued to browse through my ideal type while muttering.

Oh. Minseo.

Do you have a feeling?

It was when I was looking through the ideal types and quickly drawing design sketches.

“Wow! Awesome!”

“What is this girl?!”

“Awesome!”

Suddenly, the kids in the school zone who had been playing among themselves became noisy.

‘What? What is it?’

When I looked, Lee Hwi-ya was among the kids. Just a moment ago, he was organizing references next to me?

When did you get stuck there?

It seemed like he was putting into practice what I told him to do, which was to watch the school zone closely.

Is this a strategy to get in between them and become friendly?

School Zone and Lee Hwi-ya were playing music and dancing to various songs.

And now it seems like it’s time for Lee Hwi-ya to show off her dancing skills.

“… … Good job.”

A gasp burst out on its own.

He said he was a member of JG Entertainment’s first-team trainees and he’s really good.

As she lightly stepped forward and flapped her arms, the children in the school zone erupted in exclamations. Emily’s voice was the loudest among them.

“Wow. The groove. Crazy… … !”

Then, Han Min-ha, who had been sitting, jumped up and stood in front of Lee Hwi-ya.

“Sister. Sister. Can you do this too?”

As Han Min-ha danced the School Zone choreography to the beat of the song, Lee Hwi-ya nodded while touching the brim of his hat.

“I can do it. I told you I’m a fan of School Zone.”

And then, right away, they showed off the school zone choreography to the next beat.

Even though Han Min-ha was next to me, I didn’t feel pressured at all.

“Wow!”

“Whoa!”

When Lee Hwi-ya perfectly mastered their own choreography, the kids went wild. They all stood up and lined up, and even Lee Hwi-ya joined in, so that all six of them danced together.

Children dancing, making eye contact with each other and making noise.

Lee Hwi-ya took off the baseball cap he was wearing as if he was excited. His long, straight hair, which was not pressed down by anything, glistened and flowed into the air.

I looked back at the cameraman without realizing it.

Before I knew it, the cameraman was filming them instead of me.

The cameraman nodded once as our eyes met.

I nodded along with him.

This picture is killer!

* * *

“Wow. The design draft is already out… … . It’s so detailed? It’s ready to be manufactured right away.”

“The colors are really nice, and I also really like how each member has a different uniform style.”

The music video director and photographer leaned in as if they were going to be sucked into the sketch I handed them.

I flipped through the pictures with my fingers, exclaiming “Hmm! Oh! Oh-ho!” for a while, and then flipped through them again.

“Oh. Minseo is cool!”

“That’s cool.”

Then, when the uniform part passed, their eyes opened wide once more.

“Wow! You’ve already finished designing the costumes other than the uniforms?”

“Wow. This. I think I can use it as is… … .”

The concept is the World Scout Games, but we didn’t just design the uniforms.

So to speak, the World Scout Congress is a stage, and children play on it.

So a variety of costumes were needed.

So I designed pajamas too,

I also designed a simple T-shirt and pants outfit.

We also designed various costumes that applied the previously mentioned travel concepts.

We even designed trendy stage costumes with the concept of a singer visiting a campsite.

“I love it! It’s so comfortable working with a designer!”

Everyone nodded at executive producer Seon Hye-in’s words.

‘Heh heh. Really. Embarrassing… … .’

They looked through the costumes and whispered.

“Isn’t this a good feeling? I thought of this when I saw Shizuka’s uniform, but it’s not just about kids from all over the world, but kids from different time zones.”

“Oh! Do you have a feeling?”

“Then, if you put in a message about a connection that transcends time and space. Empathy. Sympathy. … .”

“Should I use a book as a symbol? That’s what books are like. It also feels like I’m talking to someone from another era.”

“Is it good?”

That’s good.

Everyone was fired up and started sharing their opinions, wondering if my sketch had sparked new inspiration.

Anyway, I have a good feeling about School Zone’s comeback this time.
