The Crown Prince in the Mang Game is Good at Idols - Chapter 189

Episode 189

Yumin Ha’s bridge part idea was successfully accepted.

After showing the rap that he had practiced hard with Ji Yoon-chul for several days in front of lyricist Yoo Se-na and composer Park Seung-ju, the two producers applauded and decided to change it according to Yoo Min-ha’s idea.

I thought it would take a long time since the bridge part had to be completely revised, but Seungju Park said he would do it quickly.

“I’ll do the beats right away. I think it’ll be done tomorrow or the day after.”

“That, that fast!”

Thanks to composer Seungjoo Park, who completed the revision work at the speed of light, we were finally able to obtain a suitable accompaniment for the new rap part.

The result of the rap that was originally easy on the ears meeting clothes that fit him perfectly is… … .

“It’s better than I imagined.”

“Yeah. There’s also a part where the two of them sing together―”

“It would also be possible to decorate the stage in various ways.”

What Yoo Se-na meant was that Yoo Min-ha and Ji Yoon-cheol were able to utilize additional stage devices such as pair choreography while exchanging tiki-taka.

In short, it means that we can now deliver even more fun to fans.

With the bridge part completed, work on the song is nearing its final stages.

Now, once it goes through mastering, the final version will be produced.

Now that we have the finished song, we can move on to practicing the choreography in earnest.

‘I’m glad that this album is also going well without any problems.’

Not only the title song, but also the other songs were going through the final stages of work.

Sigma Entertainment, which chose the album’s “easy listening” as its key selling point, decided to create a total of three tracks by selecting genres that are sophisticated yet easy for the general public to listen to.

There are title songs with a strong feeling and songs with a calm emotional feel that do not overlap.

There are also city pop genre songs that are good to listen to while driving.

Literally everyone in the company is working hard to make Celeste’s second album a success.

Because there are so many things at stake, all the staff, including the members, are aware of the pressure.

It is a significant fact that our debut album has sold over 1 million copies and has become a million-seller.

If the sales and performance decrease compared to the debut album, it is inevitable that negative comments will be made.

You might even hear the ridiculous term “one hit wonder.”

This provides the perfect bait for malicious netizens who always follow you around like a shadow to nitpick.

As expected, groups that come from survival shows only hit it big when they debut because of their so-called ‘broadcasting skills’, but after that, they lose their energy and become nothing special.

There are also reasons to avoid such negative reviews.

[A linked quest begins. The quest has been created.]

[Reward: 1 Lucky Draw Coin, 5 Passive Skill Experience Vouchers (Medium), 4% System Damage Recovery]

There is also the reason that you have to complete a quest given by the system after a long time.

When I first received this quest, I was really nervous.

‘No, what’s the name of the two consecutive million seller that’s not even someone else’s dog? Is it okay to attach it like this as a linked quest?’

I already knew that the better I performed as an idol, the more difficult the quests given by the system would be based on my level.

Because I had been showing a continuous rise in the rankings in , the quest changed to ‘Achieve the final 1st place’ at the end.

But this mission has a whole other level of weight to it.

A wall so high that most groups can’t even imagine.

Two consecutive million-seller albums are tantamount to sweeping the Korean music industry.

‘Honestly, this kind of high-difficulty mission should have been left as a hidden achievement. Then, I could have gotten various high-level rewards.’

That was a bit disappointing, but it was still nice to hear that they were giving out a lot of lucky draw coins and experience points.

Such precious goods are always welcome.

I lay down in the room and brought up the system window.

Several hidden achievements that were naturally discovered while working as a player.

And when I added up the rewards I got from completing the linked quests, a considerable amount of wealth had already accumulated in my system.

‘Three lucky draw coins, and the system recovery that has already reached 14%. This is a faster pace than I thought.’

I expected it would take a long time to recover, because the recovery rate would increase by 1% or 2% every time I cleared a quest.

However, in a quest with a high difficulty like this one, the rewards for success are also great. Of course, the percentage of system damage that can be repaired also increases accordingly.

If quests like this come out more often, the system will be restored quickly.

After a long time, I opened the stat window and looked to see if there was any place to invest skill points.

Name: Caris von Walden (Han Ji-hyeok)

Age: 20 (28)

Singing ability: B+ (25/30)

Dancing: B+ (20/30)

Stamina: A (44/60)

Appearance: SSS (cannot be changed)

Grade: B+ (19/30)

Trait: Crown Prince of the Kingdom, One Who Surpassed the Demon King

Abnormal Status: Otherworldly Being (Possessed)

By working as a player, you can gain a lot of skill points without having to invest a lot of skill points.

So, if you distribute the skill points you have currently collected appropriately, you should be able to raise the stats you want.

‘… … For this title song, the performance part is more important than my vocal part.’

If your singing ability stat increases, your stability in live situations will definitely increase.

However, my position within Celeste is not strictly speaking on the vocal side.

‘Center Position’ is one of the top perks of .

As I take center stage every time, it would be more accurate to view my role as a visual/performance role.

Also, as other members have emphasized several times, this is a song with outstanding performance.

So the wisest decision I can make here is:

‘Spending points on dance stats.’

I always save my skill points for emergencies.

So this time, I wanted to raise my stats while saving a moderate amount of points.

The dance stat, which has a skill level of 20/30, also has a decent skill level, so it is not a burden to invest in it.

Because you never know when or where the system’s penalty will be applied again, forcing your hard-earned stats to drop.

By investing skill points to raise the dance stat to A-, the number of stats requiring proficiency level 60 has increased to two.

How much practice will I need to do to reach that enormous number?

‘Come to think of it, I haven’t had time to look at other idols’ stats since debuting.’

The only people I’ve confirmed so far are the trainees who participated in the survival show with me, that is, the members of Celeste.

So I was curious about where my current stats would compare to those of active idols.

Is there still a long way to go?

Or maybe, thanks to this crown prince’s fraudulent ‘Appearance SSS’ stat, he possesses abilities superior to those of most idols.

I decided to observe others later when I had free time, so I left the room and headed to the living room where the members were having a lively conversation.

“How about you guys try rapping too? No, seeing how Yoonchul does it, I think you guys will definitely do well too!”

“······Min-ha hyung. Does that mean that if I can do it, anyone can do it? Was my rap that serious?”

“Hey, hey hey. That’s definitely not what I meant!”

Ji Yoon-cheol was looking at Yoo Min-ha with slightly pitiful eyes.

Then, Yu Min-ha quickly waved her hand and tried to break the situation.

“Wow, I think Eun-gyu hyung would definitely be interested in rap!”

I’m a quick-witted person who likes to change topics, following a technique I mostly use.

Chae Eun-gyu shook her head after hearing his words.

“I’ve tried it before, but it’s too much. I can’t keep the beat.”

“If you just practice, you’ll definitely be able to do it, hyung!”

After hearing the story, Yoo Min-ha, who was in charge of Ji Yoon-cheol’s rap training, seemed very excited.

So, it seems like they’re promoting the idea of ​​challenging other members to rap as well.

“Hey, Brother Charis!”

Yumin Ha, who saw me come into the living room, immediately turned her sparkling eyes towards me.

“How about you try rapping later, hyung? Your voice tone is so nice, I think it would suit you really well!”

“Rap. I’ve never tried it before.”

“… … Everyone used to say that to me too, but I’m okay with it now.”

What came back was Ji Yoon-cheol’s fact assault.

I felt embarrassed for no reason, so I touched my head and smiled faintly.

“That’s right, Yuncheol.”

“… … Certainly, like Min-ha said, I’m curious about hyung rapping too.”

“Well, by the way. The official recording is almost done. How far is it going, Min-ha?”

“It’s almost perfect! Shall I show you?”

I very leisurely shifted the topic of conversation away from myself.

Yumin, who didn’t even know that I had started the conversation, came back with her lyric notebook, humming a tune.

The face of a famous basketball animation character pasted on the cover of the notebook was impressive.

“Yoon-cheol was practicing to perfect his pronunciation! He’s really good at keeping the beat, but I think it would be good if he could just sharpen his diction a bit more.”

“Oh, I see.”

“But even looking at it again, it’s still amazing, Min-ha. I heard that writing lyrics is incredibly difficult, how did you do it so well?”

Kang Si-yoon asked while eating Yoplait.

There was a white stripe of yogurt on his lips.

It’s such a ridiculous sight, let’s not even mention it.

“I also had a lot of trial and error. I think it was around the third year of middle school when I first started writing lyrics. When I look back now, what I wrote back then was really bad. Do you guys want to take a look too?”

When Yu Min-ha opened his notebook, we gathered around and looked through his lyric notebook.

While looking at the densely packed letters, Heo Yu-bin caught something and laughed loudly.

“Ah, no, hahaha! Min-ha, did you write something like this when you were in 3rd grade of middle school?”

“What is it, what is it.”

“where?”

For the members who couldn’t find where the lyrics were written, Heo Yu-bin read the entire lyrics out loud.

“My burning passion, I need a fire truck right now, Wonwonnine~!”

“Phew! Did you really write it like that?”

“There’s more down here!”

Heo Yu-bin excitedly dug into Yoo Min-ha’s dark history.

I thought the owner of the notebook would be embarrassed and try to stop Heo Yu-bin, but instead, Yoo Min-ha stuck out her chest and nodded as if it was okay to keep looking at it.

I have really strange tastes.

“No one can stop me, no one can know me, the boy trapped in a veil~!”

“Wow, seriously, what on earth did you see when you wrote this, Min-ha?”

“That’s right!”

In response to Song Hyeong-bin’s question about the source of the lyrics, Yoo Min-ha explained as if she had been waiting for it.

“There was an anime that I really enjoyed watching back then! It was about a cool protagonist who hid in the darkness and acted as the strongest, but in reality, he dealt with the darkness that had fallen over the continent―!”

“Oh, okay. I get the gist of it.”

“―The main character’s subordinates are all kids that the main character saved, so they’re incredibly loyal! Since it’s a munchkin show, I didn’t have to worry about the main character losing, so I could watch it comfortably, which was really nice! That’s why I wrote the lyrics based on that anime.”

“Oh, okay. Stop there.”

“I also wrote some love song lyrics, but on the back page!”

When Song Hyeong-bin refused to listen to the content of the anime, Yoo Min-ha took it upon herself to find the lyrics she had written in the past.

“Here it is! ‘I’ll ask you one thing. Are you that pretty?’”

“Okay, okay! This is it!”

“Min-ha.”

While Song Hyeong-bin, who thought that this amount was a lethal dose, tightly closed his eyes and covered his ears, Kang Si-yoon asked Yoo Min-ha a question with a very serious face.

“You didn’t have a girlfriend when you were in school, did you?”

“Of course! These love song lyrics were written using inspirations that came to me while watching romance anime―!”

“Oh, okay. You’ve had a hard time. You’ve worked hard.”

Kang Si-yoon answered in a flat tone, trying to somehow prevent Yoo Min-ha’s animation explanation session from starting again.

While Heo Yu-bin and Chae Eun-gyu were laughing out loud, having finally burst out laughing, Ji Yoon-cheol was left alone, looking at his notebook with a profound expression.

“Yun-cheol, why are you looking at me like that?”

“… …Brother Charis.”

“hmm?”

Ji Yoon-cheol looked up from his notebook, looked at me, and asked seriously.

“… … If I watch a lot of animation, will I be able to write cool lyrics like Min-ha hyung?”

“What are you talking about now!”

“Oh, please, Yuncheol, if you go down that path too, I won’t be able to endure it―”

“Okay, Yuncheol! Starting today, let’s watch some fun animations together!”

“great.”

“no!”
