Only Noblemtl

Episode 115. Who We Are (5)

My brothers are getting all dolled up.

For once, an Italian woman is showing off her skills. It’s true that a person is as good as they look.

“Oh… … Jaesamssu.”

As I said that, Tae-joo looked at me in the mirror and smiled.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“You must not move.”

“Ah… … Sorry.”

Dongsik and Youngpil are also sitting side by side getting their hair and makeup done.

Since the identity has already been revealed, the company sent reinforcements and gave them a lot of strength because it was the final.

Anyway, it’s good.

I feel refreshed.

Because I can take off my stuffy sunglasses and mask with my brothers and get ready with my face exposed.

It’s nice that my brothers are decorating too, right?

Everyone feels like they’ve gotten about ten years younger.

Then, would it be around forty?

“Hey. You did a good job. Everyone is turning thirty. It feels good.”

As the older brothers burst into laughter again, the older sisters who were doing their makeup were busy fixing the older brothers’ hair.

These little things double the enjoyment of the performance.

If I were alone, I would probably be stuck in a corner and just killing time.

At that moment, the door opened and FD Na Tae-pyeong came in and walked towards me.

“Dongha-ya.”

“yes.”

“I’ll check it one more time, so check it. Five songs. Blue Porcelain is the backstage. We’ll give you three minutes to check the settings during the first song. We’ll input the values ​​we gave you in advance, so you don’t have to worry about the settings. Just checking?”

“yes.”

“You’re not going to break your guitar on stage again… are you?”

When I glance at it, I can also see a hint of subtle anticipation.

It seems like you want me to break at least one guitar?

But what can I do?

The guitar we’ll be using for today’s performance is our Juliet.

“Don’t spray it. I’m not a rascal.”

“……okay?”

“At what point is it a question mark? Is it a question mark because you regret not spraying it… … Or is it a question mark because it’s not a Torai?”

“Haha… … Follow the song order well. I’m going. Fighting!”

Almost at the same time that FD Na Tae-pyeong ran out in a hurry, seven men began to rush into the waiting room.

“… … ?”

Oh, seven men lined up in a row, matching the rows.

And then, as several small handycams followed, the waiting room, which I thought was quite spacious, became completely packed.

“One, two, three! Hello, senior! This is New Heart Seven! Please take care of me!”

huh?

“Hey? Why are we your seniors? We haven’t even released our debut album yet?”

New Heart7 is in its third year since debut.

On the other hand, even if we do well, it’s only been 3 months since our debut?

In response to my question, the man at the forefront, New Heart 7’s leader, Las, opens his mouth.

“Ahaha… … To be honest, we had a lot of trouble with that too. We didn’t know how to call you. Senior or junior. But, isn’t rock the same thing anyway? Since you’ve been active as an indie since the beginning, we should consider it that way. Isn’t that right?”

As the leader of New Heart 7 named Lasran looks to the side and smiles, the members laugh cheerfully and shout.

“That’s right! Please take care of it!”

Uh… … It’s definitely not wrong, but I feel strange.

We clearly just started out and now we’re seniors.

* * *

As Leader Lass said.

There was a lot of debate both internally at JS Entertainment and among the members of New Heart 7.

It can’t be helped… … That band is weird.

Even if it’s strange, it’s not usually strange.

The combined ages of three members are well over 150.

These three are the ones who were making a splash in the indie scene over 30 years ago.

Also, one of the three was Hong Young-pil, who appeared on various TV shows as a general entertainer.

It would have been easy if I had just called him senior… … .

“Ah… … But why is this guy here?”

Aishi, who plays rhythm guitar, burst into laughter at vocalist Naineup’s words.

“Khuhhhhhh.”

“Funny?”

“It’s funny. Isn’t it funny? I’m embarrassed. I’m embarrassed. Hehe.”

“Right, Emma. It’s embarrassing, it’s not funny… … Hehe. Ah, F**k. You laughed so hard that I laughed like a crazy person too!”

yes.

To be honest, I find it difficult.

It’s kind of funny if you think about it carefully.

This isn’t a team that normal people can form.

This means that it is definitely not a group planned by the company.

If there is a company that planned this, it should go under.

The revival of a legend, let’s stop here.

If there is a move, form a team that supports him.

It should have been one of the two, this is a hodgepodge.

I boiled it with gochujang because I wanted to use whatever I could get my hands on.

“Hey, but I was still a little touched by those guys.”

It’s Lasda.

“That’s right… … Thirty years ago, the vocalist died in an accident. The group disbanded before they could debut. Then they debuted again with a vocalist with the same name… … Wow… … This is rock… … .”

The members had the quality to be idols just because of their looks, but they gave up the glory because they really wanted to do rock music.

In this day and age, being an idol and being in a rock band make a huge difference in terms of income.

The K-pop market has grown so much that idols can make money by going on overseas tours even if they don’t go out that much, whereas rock bands are at the level of jumping into the mud flats with rocks on their backs.

Because they were such people, I sincerely respected them as I confirmed their past stories through articles.

But others wonder, “Why now?”

This is why they exclaimed, “Wow… … This is the real Rock Will Never Die.”

“These guys. You must have had a hard time recruiting Lee Dong-ha.”

“That’s right. He has the same name as a dead member, so he must have been very desirable as a rock vocalist. That’s probably why the project started.”

The cause and effect are reversed.

However, since only a limited number of people know the truth, it was reasonable to make this judgment. In fact, this was the reason why many media outlets pointed to Yoon Tae-joo as the central axis of this project.

It is speculated that a huge commission was offered to the movers.

It is assumed that it was Yoon Tae-joo’s wealth that allowed him to recruit Lee Dong-ha and revive the band by providing a commission.

“But I don’t think you received the money?”

“Why? Why is he in a band with those guys without getting paid? He already has a bright future ahead of him, so why would he do something that might backfire?”

Las opened his mouth to answer the member’s question.

“No. I heard it from a staff member I know at a broadcasting station. He said that the reason he chose Lee Dong-ha when he was doing Nae-Pol-Il was because he originally wanted to do rock.”

“no way.”

“I’m telling you, it’s true. It’s absolutely 100 percent fact. He didn’t get shot in the head, so he had no reason to run. And then he came back to a rock band? It fits.”

“… … If that’s true, then he’s crazier than us?”

“therefore.”

“That’s totally cool. It’s rock.”

The rest of the members nodded at Las and Naine-yeop’s words.

awesome.

Although they did the same thing, it’s on a different level.

At least we’re stuck together. Don’t you think that’s why he held the hands of those hyungs, because he just has to rock?

“Hey… … X-ba. Let’s just treat him like a senior. There’s nothing we can do. We can’t just go and say to him, “You’re my junior,” right? If he has feelings, he should feel free to talk to me because he’s my junior.”

“I heard he’s a total idiot. Since you guys said hello, I’m your senior too, what if I say that?”

“… … Then I’ll call you a senior. If you’re cool, you’re a senior, and if you’re doing well, you’re a senior, anyway, in this world.”

“Let’s go and say hello on the day you perform on stage. Honestly, I really respect you and want to meet you hyungs.”

“Okay.”

It was a greeting that came at the end of such a meeting.

of course.

‘How will it react to moving?’

However, curiosity was growing about the inner thoughts of the New Heart 7 members.

* * *

Very good.

Korean rock was alive.

Unlike the cowardly, shitheaded people who were just like A-Fly and had nothing but a shell.

I kept nodding my head in admiration of the spirit of the juniors.

First, soak it.

This isn’t easy.

Especially kids this age.

Saying this makes me sound really old… … but I know better because I’m this old.

But he exudes respect with his whole body.

“Yes. Everyone is having a hard time.”

Then he grabbed the hand of the leader, Las.

Just like politicians go out and greet the people during election season.

At my words, a faint smile and slight embarrassment appeared on the face of the leader, Las.

“ah……!”

When someone poked my side hard and I turned around, it was Dong-sik.

Then he picks me up and drags me behind him.

“Oh, why? Why are you like this when I’m greeting you?”

“Just a moment. It’s okay, Dong-ha. It doesn’t hurt at all, my Dong-ha. It’s okay, it’s okay.”

“What are you talking about?”

As I was hiding behind people, Youngpil Hyung stepped forward.

“Uh… … Yeah, honestly, at this age, if you call me your junior and speak to me in a respectful manner, I’ll feel even more uncomfortable. Right?”

“Hahaha… … No… … Oh, I’m not asking you to call me junior… … I mean, I’m not uncomfortable with my older brothers at all.”

When Las answered with a kind face, Youngpil smiled gently.

It’s in the back so you can’t see it clearly.

I can see the side of her face and it’s clear she’s smiling.

“Okay. Thank you. Let’s play some good music today. Thanks for saying hello first.”

“Oh my… … No, thank you for just saying that. It’s because we have people like you that we can make music comfortably.”

It’s warm.

I want to get involved.

Violently.

“Yeah! Guys! I appreciate it too! You showed me that the spirit of Korean rock is not dead, so I’m going to… … Woof… …! Woof!”

Dongsik covered my mouth.

oh……?

But this guy’s performance is certain.

The difference in strength is so overwhelming that I’m clearly completely overwhelmed and can’t even scream. But it doesn’t hurt at all. Isn’t that amazing?

It feels like you’re controlling me with just the right amount of force.

‘No. That’s not important right now. I have to say hello to my juniors… … .’

Honestly, you’re my junior too, right?

I was doing music back then too, right?

It’s unfair.

Why can’t you say hello to me?

I don’t know if you know how sad I feel or not.

“Our leader is a little… sick. You know?”

“ah……!”

Las lets out a final exclamation at Youngpil’s words.

“I understand. That… … we have that on our team too. It’s a bit unusual?”

“It’s… unusual… right. We would appreciate it if you could understand it that way.”

“Oh, but I really respect Dong-ha too. It’s not an easy road to take, right?”

“ha ha ha…….”

When Youngpil laughs awkwardly, Lass follows with a bright laugh.

I liked it… …but I feel quite betrayed.

‘You bastard! I’m your senior too!’

I tried shouting, but no sound came out anymore.

I was completely trapped in a vacuum prison with Kim Dong-sik’s palm print.

I really… … .

I think I should put the music aside for a moment and learn some martial arts, and I move my eyes to look at Dong-sik in the mirror on the wall… … .

I see Dongsik’s face smiling blankly, as if he is holding a plastic bag in his hand.

When one person is subduing another, how can it be seen that he exerted any effort?

Isn’t that… normal?

But what is this… … .

When I look at that… … all the strength drains from my body.

When you feel the overwhelming difference in talent, you just… … have to admit it? That feeling?

I’ve never felt anything like that in my life… …but I feel it now.

Do you think I can beat this guy when he’s around eighty?

… … I’m not confident.

Then I should just do music or something.

Even if I can’t do it with force, I can still push this guy through music.

‘After the concert, we all died after recording our first album!’

As I let go of my strength and slump, Dong-sik quickly releases his grip and turns my body around to look at me.

“Hey, Dong-ha. Are you okay?”

“… … Okay. Let go. I’ll stay still.”

“Oh my. I’m surprised.”

“… … If you only use your strength without being ignorant.”

But at my words, the corner of Dong-sik’s mouth goes up to one side.

Unlike the usual bear-like Kim Dong-sik.

This is… … the kind of expression someone would make when plotting something.
