I Decided To Become a Perfect Girl chapter 113

113 – Preparing for a comeback

Top East Entertainment, A&R team leader Jeong So-hyun.

She was calmly flipping through a magazine containing interviews with Saven members, page by page.

[…A popular girl group that swept the Rookie Award at the Golden Disc Awards. I met Saven. “I didn’t even know there was an interview. What should I do?” For some reason, he looks more nervous than during the eventful ‘Jerk Stone 3’. When the interview started, the new faces disappeared and the members skillfully showed their fresh sides.]

She took a sip of the coffee in her mug and expressed her sentiments.

“Good.”

Now in her mind, the landscape of the newly reorganized 4th generation girl group was being drawn.

There were countless dark horses in the 4th generation, but there was only a leader.

Like the 3rd generation’s ‘Coral Blue’, the one that would represent a generation was still unknown.

‘Although Repro launched Pure Girl…’

ZY, JS, Haru.

The remaining four major entertainment companies postponed the launch of girl groups, so it was only natural.

And the newly emerged leader of the current 4th generation girl group, Saven.

Saveen is destined to disband after a year anyway.

The important thing is that after that, each company launched a new girl group centered around the members of Saven.

Jung So-hyun’s hand, which had been flipping through the magazine one page at a time, stopped.

What caught her eye was the photo of Dohee that filled one side of her page.

Dohee is smiling mischievously.

Jeong So-hyun suddenly recalled the day she first met Do-hee.

The head of the casting team, Kim Jin-Woo, was talking about her with such a fuss that he convinced her as soon as he saw her for the first time.

In the entertainment industry, her visuals are one of the best, with a small face and white skin.

Moreover, his height grows bigger by the day.

‘I didn’t know you would grow so tall.’

Of course, the tall figure was welcome because it suited the girl group concept she had envisioned.

The members of the debut group were also tall.

168Cm Naeun.

169Cm tall.

Even Woowa, who recently passed the 170 mark.

What about Seoyoon… You can solve it with styling.

Jung So-hyun looked through the magazine interview again.

[Q: You were very good at playing the piano. But how did you stop playing the piano and become interested in idols?]

[A: Originally, I was the type of person who enjoyed performing on stage. I guess I was a bit starving for attention (laughter). Meanwhile, I was feeling like the piano competition stage was somewhat static, and I happened to be cast by the head of the casting team at my current agency, Top East. While I was thinking about what it would be like to be on the idol stage, um… I feel a little embarrassed to say this. I had a strong feeling that the agency wanted me. So, just out of anger? (Laughs)]

Recruiting Dohee was a matter of luck.

[Q: Dohee is also famous as a high-spec idol. It is said that not only did he have a brilliant record of winning competitions, but he also got 100 points on all tests from elementary school to middle school.]

[A: (The cute smile didn’t stop for a while) I think I studied a little meaningfully. It was more fun to learn something every day than to play.]

Because it was different from the very beginning.

However, at times, Dohee’s high-quality image fostered countless antis.

In fact, Dohee was the member of Saven who received the most malicious comments.

‘We will have to respond.’

Of course, it was not my job to step forward as it was a management department field.

I can only hope that Seo-yoon will take good care of Do-hee like her older sister.

[Q: We have heard many testimonies from members about Dohee’s usual personality. (Laughs) He has a fierce personality with a more vain temperament than I thought.]

[A: (Embarrassed) Which or who? Who is this.]

[Not disclosed to protect identity.]

“Whoa…”

But still, when you see things like that, worrying is a waste.

Rather, I was worried about his personality that I don’t know where he will go.

[Q: Come to think of it, I heard that when you search for Dohee, she follows related keywords. (Laughs) He said he was supposed to take a picture with a fan’s phone, but he took the picture with his own phone.]

[A: I was a little embarrassed at the time…]

[Q: (Laughs) Moreover, the notebook was full of autograph practice?]

[A: I did that in advance because my classmates asked me to sign it. (Aggrieved expression) It’s true!]

[The interviewer felt that Dohee was definitely the cute youngest child with a shy temperament.]

Thanks to this nonsense, there are less anti-fans, so it can be said to be fortunate.

“Yes.”

It is better to not have a perfect image.

This is actually what makes Dohee attractive.

“Team leader! I’ve received a call from an artist working on the top line.”

Sohyun Jeong, who was awakened from her thoughts by a report from her subordinate calling me, put down the magazine for a moment and started working for her trainees who will debut next year.

“Hoyeon, that’s him, right? He’s more used to receiving tracks first and then working on the top line, so he picked about 5 out of our demos that fit the concept well and came to me to get confirmation.”

Morning sunlight came into the window.

The ceiling of the accommodation came into view.

I’m already starting to miss home and the top of Doa’s head.

The three-day vacation was too short.

The time flew by as I spent quality time with Top East members, school friends, and family.

“Huh…”

I checked my phone and it was 8 am.

I feel proud of myself for waking up like a ghost on time for the routine.

‘Yes, even if it’s annoying, you should stick to the routine.’

The first thing I started doing when I returned to my daily routine was stretching.

I was just relaxing my stiff body by stretching.

Hana’s diligent voice came from the kitchen.

“Oh, someone drank my intestinal health again!”

Unni Chae-rin, who must have lost sleep due to a loud noise, woke up with her messy hair tousled.

“Ha…”

“Good morning.”

“Okay… Why is she acting like that this morning…?”

In the meantime, Sarah was sleeping peacefully, hugging her teddy bear.

When I was thinking, “I want to get rid of that bear.”

The scathing voice of Harang, the treacherous traitor who had become Hana’s loyal servant, was heard from outside.

“The youngest ate it.”

Thumping footsteps approached the room and the door flew open.

From noble mtl dot com

An empty bottle of intestinal health yogurt drink held by Hana.

“Lee Do-hee, did you drink?”

“Good morning~”

It was delicious.

I’m 16. Now I’m at the age where I need to pay attention to my gut health.

“Oh, if you’re going to drink it to fill it up!”

However, I was not the only one.

“But Chaerin drank it too.”

Now that we have become accustomed to dorm life and the members have become closer to each other.

Sharing food from the refrigerator has become a daily routine.

Even Chae-rin, who is sensitive about her private area, was eagerly participating in this culture.

“I drank it because Dohee told me to drink it?”

…?

“You drank first!”

Chaerin also became really shameless.

She and Hana agreed to buy a box of drinks.

***

After the morning division.

“Why are you eating grass this morning?”

“Eat according to the diet. Oh, and Lee Do-hee, you only posted pictures of yourself eating during your vacation?”

“The salad suddenly looks delicious.”

After waking up the members and having a delicious breakfast, we put on comfortable clothes and headed to the Shock Entertainment headquarters.

Preparations for comeback have begun in earnest.

They were scheduled to make a comeback with a single album at the end of February.

And the place where we gathered today is the conference room of the Shock Entertainment A&R team.

This is because I received news from my manager that the title song for this single album has been confirmed.

The head of the A&R team sang the song with a confident face.

A song played in the guide version.

The members let out a single exclamation.

“Oh…”

“Wow…”

“Good.”

A rhythmic groove that is felt by combining two rhythms: a disco-based funky rhythm and a drum pattern often used in black music.

Sophisticated synth sound in the groove.

In particular, it was a synth pop that stood out, with a chorus-processed synth sound at the end of the bass.

More than anything, when I listen to it, I feel something tickling.

“It’s good, right?”

“Yes! I love it.”

‘The debut song was good, but somehow this one is more to my taste.’

Should I say that there is a tickling feeling that evokes nostalgia in the refreshing beauty of a boy or girl?

“This song is also our confident song.”

The team leader, who was excited as if he had prepared a lot of words, began to explain in rapid succession.

“First of all, the name of this album is Daydream. The working title of the title song is ‘Thirst.'”

The name of the last album was Aurora Dawn.

This time, Daydream.

We were talking about daytime.

“And the concept in the debut song was that you were deviant girls who wouldn’t be tied down to anything in the world, right? But in this album, the story is that those girls have no choice but to be tied down and yearn for love.”

The deviant atmosphere of the debut song has definitely disappeared.

Only the girl’s refreshing beauty remained.

That’s why the guide vocalist seemed to be appealing in his own husky voice.

For some reason, I felt that it would suit me very well if the husky voice part was mine.

“More than anything, the Y2K craze is blowing in the fashion world these days, right? The music world is also seeing a similar movement these days. I should say that there are more and more cases of borrowing the rhythms of the 2000s.”

Not long ago, my performance at the year-end stage was also Y2K.

The Y2K retro boom was a trend that appeared regardless of field.

“You may have felt it while listening, but our song is also a song that takes the rhythm of Michael Jackson, the king of pop in the 2000s, and changed it into a sophisticated one. People in their teens, 20s, and even in their 30s will enjoy the sophisticated rhythm with nostalgia, right?”

30S… Um…

Looking back, it seems like the debut song is better?
