Genius Manager Who Hears Voices - Chapter 62

Episode 62

‘You really can’t sing?’

The song Yoo Jae-wook chose for the concert on the ridge was a trot song.

Since I wouldn’t be dancing or singing a ballad in front of grandmothers, it was an obvious choice of song.

But the problem was that trot didn’t suit Yoo Jae-wook as much as expected.

“Walking along the railroad tracks with my love at dawn, oh my gosh~.”

Of course, since he is a singer, it’s not that he can’t sing, but the singing style and breaks that are unique to trot are incredibly awkward.

What should I say… … Unlike the elders who were clapping and listening excitedly, I felt like my hands and feet were slightly curled up?

Of course, it’s not my original genre, so in a way it’s natural.

‘I thought about it that way for a moment… … I guess I shouldn’t even dream about competitions.’

If Yoo Jae-wook really wanted to leave the entertainment industry, I was even going to recommend that he change genres.

I’ve tried dance and ballads, so why not try trot this time?

Although it has cooled down a bit since its peak craze, trot is still a popular genre.

Audition programs that select winners through competitions were still a guarantee of viewer ratings for broadcasters.

I don’t know how he would take it, but I thought it could be an option.

Until I heard this embarrassing trot song sung by Yoo Jae Wook.

“My dear, you are so pretty right now~~ I want to follow you too, hehehe~~.”

‘Ugh. I’m going to break my neck.’

“If you weren’t here, I wouldn’t be able to live even if I lived.”

But, at that moment.

While listening to Yoo Jae-wook’s song, where he broke every syllable, Hee-sung noticed something strange.

It was clear that the hands and feet were curled up, but the pitch felt quite stable.

‘Didn’t you say that now neither the low nor the high notes are allowed?’

She said that at dinner with Im Eun-ha yesterday.

If you look at the video titled ‘Comments on Yoo Jae-wook’s Voice Deviation’, most of the comments are sarcastic, saying that not only the high notes but also the low notes sound quite unstable.

The reason why fans who went to Yoo Jae-wook’s concert couldn’t stand it anymore and started demanding refunds was for that very reason.

There is no part or song that I can listen to from start to finish.

But the trot song that Yoo Jae-wook is singing now sounds very stable and clean, at least in terms of pitch.

Even in the high-pitched sections, there is no loss of pitch at all.

If it’s vocal nodules, shouldn’t the same thing happen in every song?

“Wow! He really is a singer. He’s so refreshing and cool. He’s good, he’s good.”

“You’ve worked hard to sing, so come and have a glass of makgeolli. It’ll clear your throat, so I’ll sing a few more songs later!”

“Haha. Yes, sir. I’m going to sing until my throat hurts today! It’s been a while since I’ve sung, so I’m really excited.”

“What? Why is the singer singing again after such a long time? Did he quit being a singer?”

“Yeah, well. Something similar. Not yet, though.”

“Oh, then it’s useless. If someone who earns a living by doing this quits, what are they going to do for a living? You have to know how to do it steadily and earnestly.”

“Haha, really? Then give me another drink!”

Hee-sung took out his cell phone after looking at Yoo Jae-wook, who was chatting cheerfully with the ladies.

Then I turned on the music streaming app and searched for Yoo Jae-wook’s solo albums.

‘As expected, high notes aren’t everything, as you can see from the fact that opinions among fans were quite divided.’

Yoo Jae-wook said that all of his albums were successful because of his explosive singing ability.

However, looking at the reactions to each song on streaming apps, there were many differences from his evaluation.

-The appropriate amount of treble is good, but it seems a bit too much… … . I was listening to it through the office speakers when the director told me to turn the volume down.

-The reason I like Jaewook oppa’s songs is because the lyrics tell a story. These days, all the songs are in English and I don’t even know what they mean. When I listen to them while savoring the lyrics, I find myself shedding a bucket of tears…

– Isn’t he actually a master of introductions? As soon as you hear the first verse starting with a low voice, it’s game over. He seems to be the best in our country in terms of low-mid voice.

-If you listen to Jaewook hyung’s first solo album, there are almost no high notes. It seems like he is obsessed with high notes because his skills are getting better. Come back, Jaewook hyung!

Yoo Jae-wook has significantly increased his vocal range through hard work.

In fact, it was true that it had a big impact on his image as a talented singer, and that each song he released received a good response.

As he said, it is true that in our country, singers who sing high notes in particular receive more attention.

But tastes can never be the same for everyone.

While some people like those high notes, others feel aversion to them.

Since he didn’t release songs focusing on high notes from the beginning, there are quite a few fans who prefer his low- to mid-range voice.

‘What’s the difference, anyway? Why is it that I can’t control myself when I sing my own songs, but when I sing other people’s songs… ?’

After clearing up one question, Heesung soon thought of the next question.

It was the condition of his neck.

‘I’m not an expert, but it certainly wasn’t awkward to listen to. Is it because it’s trot?’

After all, the singing style of trot is bound to be very different from that of pop music.

There were many sections where it was broken, and Yoo Jae-wook sang it especially with a more broken tone, so I wondered if it was because I didn’t feel the strange pitch.

But even the most evil of demons could tell that much.

Clearly, Yoo Jae-wook’s throat condition wasn’t that bad right now.

“Oh my, Misuk is here. Misuk! Misuk is here!”

While he was contemplating seriously for a while, Jang Man-ho suddenly jumped up from his seat, looked at a certain place, and shouted.

At the name Misuk, Heeseong’s gaze turned straight to that place.

“Misuk, your older sister?”

It was a familiar name. And it was a name I hadn’t heard in a long time.

Jang Mi-sook.

Jang Man-ho’s daughter and a close friend of Hee-sung who has seen each other often since childhood.

The age difference is only four years, and since my father and Jang Man-ho are friends, we naturally got to know each other.

At Jang Man-ho’s call, she approached them dressed quite stylishly.

Jang Man-ho opened his arms and hugged her tightly, saying:

“Oh my, my daughter! When did you come? Why did you come all the way here when you are so busy? Why don’t you just rest comfortably at home?”

“I came to say hello to my dad. I also said hello to the elders in the neighborhood. Hehe, hello! It’s Miyeon! Are you all doing well?”

“Miyeon? Not Misuk, but Miyeon? You have another daughter?”

“What the heck? It looks like that bastard Manho Shiki has a daughter he’s been hiding. And her face doesn’t look like the Misuk we all know. Who are you?”

Jang Man-ho responded as if he was astonished at the elders’ story.

“Oh, mothers, why are you saying such absurd things? Where is the daughter I hid? She barely managed to get married. Misuk, Misuk. You changed your name, didn’t you? It’s so unsophisticated.”

“Haha, from now on, please call me Miyeon, elders! When you change your name, you have to call me by my new name, right? That’s how you bring good luck.”

“Oh my, you changed your name? Why did you change your name when you already had a good one? Whether it’s Misuk or Miyeon, they’re all equally old-fashioned.”

“Oh, Mom. You shouldn’t say that. Our Miyeon is a professor in Seoul. She went to a shaman and she said that the ending of her name was bad, so she should change it. She said that if she did that, her current job would last a long time. That’s why she changed it.”

‘You became a professor? Wow, I had no idea.’

Since my father passed away, I had little to do with her, so I hadn’t heard any news about Jang Mi-sook, or rather Jang Mi-yeon.

But you became a professor? And at a university in Seoul.

Considering that she is still in her early 30s, this news could not have been more surprising.

“Oh, but aren’t you Heeseong? Wow, you’re right! I was wondering if you were the guy I knew after reading the article. Are you? Jeong Heeseong?”

Jang Mi-yeon greeted Hee-sung warmly, as if she recognized him right away even though he was wearing bodysuit pants.

Heeseong took off the gloves he was wearing and responded with a smile.

“Yes, Sister. That’s right, Heeseong. You’ve changed so much since I last saw you. If I had just passed by, I probably would have just passed by without noticing.”

“Oh my, this kid. He’s all surgical. Haha. But why are you using formal language? Didn’t we always use informal language in the past? Don’t you remember?”

It had been over a dozen years, so of course I couldn’t remember.

He pretended to recall his memories for a moment and then just let go.

“Oh, that’s right? Haha. By the way, did your sister become a professor? What was your major?”

“I’m into music. I suddenly got interested in it when I entered middle school, and I’ve been digging one well ever since. Before I knew it, I ended up making a living like this? Haha.”

“Being a professor isn’t just about making a living. It’s about being completely successful. Wow, I wonder if this is really the Misuk I knew. I would believe her even if she were a celebrity.”

“Phew, that’s why I said Miyeon, not Misuk. By the way, why are you here? You didn’t go back to farming, did you?”

When Heeseong only smiled instead of answering, Jang Manho stepped in and explained.

“Heeseong’s grandmother joked that she wanted to see her grandchildren. That mother is still like a child, whether she was then or now. She said she would help with the farm work while she’s here and come back tonight. She came yesterday.”

“Oh, really? But the person next to you is… … ?”

The look in his eyes was one that seemed to already recognize Yoo Jae-wook.

However, the nuance was as if asking why this person was here.

Heeseong hesitated for a moment, wondering what to say, before opening his mouth.

But then, it was then.

[Thank you, sister. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of returning. It’s like you saved someone’s life.]

[Thank you, what. All I did was do what you asked me to do. And it was also my break? Haha, you want to buy me a meal?]

[I should repay you properly, not with food. I’ll just prepare a seat for you as soon as the finals are over. Since it’s a live broadcast, I don’t think I’ll have time until then.]

[Okay! I’m always available, so give me a call whenever you have time. And tell me to make sure I win.]

[Okay, let’s talk again. Thanks, sis.]

The sound of a man and a woman talking on the phone was suddenly heard from somewhere.

It wasn’t difficult at all to recognize the owners of those voices.

Because it was Jang Mi-yeon right in front of him.

“… … Huh? Why? Why are you staring at me like that, Heesung?”

He just stared blankly, his lips moving, and Jang Mi-yeon asked.

Heeseong, who had been keeping his gaze fixed on her for a while, soon countered her with another question.

“Sister, what exactly is your major? Something related to music.”

“Me? Me, vocal music. Why?”

“Vocal music?”

At the mention of vocal music, Heeseong’s head began to spin.

It felt like I suddenly saw light in something I had thought had no chance of succeeding.
