Seong-hyeon Jo sent Chae-yoon to school and then went to work.
Entering the studio of Pan Entertainment, which I have become so accustomed to now.
He got the job done quickly.
How long did you work like that?
glance.
Jo Seong-hyeon checked the time and got up immediately.
Today was a meeting day.
A meeting with Seo Ye-na, Seong-hyeon Jo, and team leader Woo Kyung-soo.
Although other members are also involved in the album, the first meeting was held only with Jo Sung-hyun, Seo Ye-na, and Woo Kyung-soo for the free creative activities of artists and producers.
The second meeting will be conducted by Kyungsoo Woo and other team members.
In the first meeting, only music was discussed, and in the second meeting, various overall aspects such as the album schedule and promotional activities were held.
In fact, it was close to meeting the album schedule at the second meeting with the results of the first meeting.
Jo Sung-hyeon lightly stretched and moved to the conference room of the singer team 2.
“hello. Seong-hyeon.”
The members of the singer team 2 greet him and greet him.
When I first started working on Seo Ye-na’s album, everyone was skeptical, and there were a lot of people who completely distrusted me.
Now the atmosphere has changed a lot.
Jo Sung-hyun did a great job on the first album, and Seo Ye-na and Woo Kyung-soo, team leader, also put their trust in Jo Sung-hyun.
There wasn’t much the other team members could do.
They also have no choice but to trust Jo Sung-hyun and cooperate as much as possible.
It was not that they were dissatisfied.
If Jo Sung-hyun has a bad personality, you might be dissatisfied, but that’s not the case.
I just do my best in my job and talk only with Seo Ye-na, so there is no conflict.
The reason why Jo Sung-hyun doesn’t say anything bad inside the company is because he only talks with artists and team leaders.
Since there is no contact point in the first place, it is not easy to tell a story.
All of the singer team 1 is on Jo Sung-hyun’s side, and the act of discrediting him can turn the singer team, artists, and team leaders into enemies.
There are many reasons for that, but in fact, the biggest reason why the 2nd singer team doesn’t have any dissatisfaction with Jo Sung-hyun.
“How are you?”
“Thank you. Uh-huh, Jena-san is so bubbly these days, so I have no choice but to get along.”
The point was that the frequency of incidents with Seo Ye-na, who was the most troublesome in the 2nd Singer Team, was significantly lowered with Jo Seong-hyun.
It was Woo Kyung-soo and a team of 2 singers to do the post-processing, but now that there is no case for post-processing, it had to be comfortable.
“okay?”
“yes. Well, it’s true that there were few accidents before when we were just working on an album, but maybe it’s because we become so sensitive when we do other things together, the managers sometimes couldn’t stand it and left. You know.”
“Aha.”
Seong-Hyeon Cho nodded.
Well, considering Seo Ye-na’s personality, it’s a good thing.
In fact, after Jo Seong-hyeon returned, Seo Ye-na did not change her manager once.
Seo Ye-na was a complicated person in many ways, and if she doesn’t read her mind well, she will explode at some point.
There are probably not many people who can handle Seo Ye-na like that.
It’s Jo Sung-hyun, and I get along well with Seo Ye-na, and I don’t have anything to say to him, but I don’t know what to say… .
‘Because each person is different.’
He thought to himself and looked at the members of the second team of singers who continued to speak.
“But this time, I was working on an album, and I was also working on a recent radio schedule, but even then, he was just thinking about how to feature. Coffee came out late, but don’t be annoyed.”
The members of Singer Team 2, they said hard, saying that this is impossible.
Seong-hyeon smirked lightly.
In fact, people tended to be afraid of Seo Ye-na too.
Even though I’m not really that kind of person.
“We call Seong-hyeon the trainer.”
“… Yes?”
Jo Sung-hyun blinked his eyes in bewilderment.
Being a trainer, isn’t it so strange to have a sense of humor?
“Did all the singers in the first team agree? In fact, Yumi isn’t a very gentle person either. But if I’m with Seong-hyun, I don’t think there’s going to be an accident.”
“Please. Neither Yumi nor Yena have a bad personality.”
Jo Sung-hyun said with a smile.
The team members of Singer Team 2 looked at Jo Sung-hyun with their eyes wide open.
“I don’t know Yumi very well, but I know Yena very well… .”
“Why me?”
As he spoke, a familiar voice came from behind Jo Sung-hyun.
The members of the 2nd Singer Team instantly shut their mouths and hesitated.
Jo Sung-hyun turned around with a smile.
“hello. Jena.”
“hello. You must have been talking to me?”
“I was saying that the album production is going well, don’t worry.”
He smiled lightly and said.
At Seonghyun’s words, the members of the singer team 2 quickly nod their heads and open their mouths.
“Yes, these days, Yena is very concentrating on her album work, so I’m looking forward to the album… .”
Awkwardly, the members of Singer Team 2 scratched their heads in response.
Seo Ye-na made a sound and nodded playfully.
“It is to be expected. This album is going to be really good.”
At her playful remarks, the members of the singer team 2 widened their eyes as if a little startled.
Seong-hyeon Cho laughed.
“It should be fine.”
After saying that, he moved his gaze to the conference room.
“Come in. now.”
“okay.”
Seo Ye-na went straight to the conference room without saying a word.
The team members of Singer Team 2 gestured to Jo Seong-hyeon as if thanking him, and after shrugging his shoulders once, Jo Sung-hyun followed Seo Ye-na into the conference room.
Team leader Woo Kyung-soo prepared the meeting room in advance and waited.
A conference room with three cups of coffee for Seonghyeon Jo, Yena Seo, and herself.
“hello. manager. I will drink coffee.”
“Is the job going well?”
“Yeah, it’s almost finished… ‘Behind the scenes’ came after I put the vocals in and framed it a bit. I will listen to you.”
Jo Sung-hyun sat down and answered.
Seo Ye-na’s eyes twinkled at his words.
“How do you feel?”
“I personally don’t think it’s bad, but I think you should listen to it once and judge for yourself.”
After saying that, Jo Sung-hyun took out his smartphone from his pocket.
He played songs from his cloud.
This is a slightly refined version of what I recorded with Yerin Lee last time.
At that time, I had to record it just to see the feeling.
There was a sense that it was not enough to tell Seo Ye-na and Woo Kyung-soo.
So, on purpose, I thought about Seo Ye-na, the vocals, and Jo Sung-hyun’s own vocals, and refined the song a little more.

Music started playing.
Seo Ye-na narrowed her forehead and focused on the song.
It was the same with Team Leader Woo Kyung-soo.
After taking a sip of the coffee in her hand, she listened to the song.
Yerin Lee’s vocals and Jo Sunghyun’s vocals flow out.
Basically, Yerin Lee’s vocals are different from Seo Yena’s vocals, so they didn’t match perfectly.
All of the people present here were able to understand the fundamental difference between Yerin Lee’s vocals and Seo Yena’s vocals.
Of course, it was predictable how the song would come out if Seo Ye-na’s vocals were applied.
So, when the song was finished, Seo Ye-na was able to speak right away.
“It’s good.”
“Isn’t that bad?”
“It’s not just that it’s not bad, you know that, right? It’s a bit disappointing now that the female vocalist has a lot of power… If I record it myself, I think it’s well balanced. What do you think, sister?”
“… Better than I expected.”
Seo Ye-na glanced at team leader Woo Kyung-soo and asked.
Team leader Woo Kyung-soo nodded and agreed with Seo Ye-na’s opinion.
Cho Sung-hyun scratched his cheek.
I didn’t know you’d like it this much.
No matter how polished it was, it wasn’t a re-recorded version.
I’ve been thinking about vocals for a few days, so when I actually start recording, I’ll probably be able to show a higher level of vocals than the ones I’ve just heard.
‘If you say it’s a little disappointing, I thought I’d try harder.’
It’s just that I like it, but it’s rather frustrating.
After coughing once, Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth.
“Well, then, for now, let’s proceed with ‘behind the scenes’. Would you like to listen to other songs?”
“Yes, I have to listen to everything first and decide on the title song.”
Seo Ye-na answers
The meeting continued.
* * *
The meeting, which lasted for nearly two hours, was finished only at the end of lunch time.
Jo Sung-hyun left to work on a song.
Seo Ye-na and Woo Kyung-soo went to eat separately.
They headed to a nearby pork cutlet shop, and started talking over the food in front of them.
“Will it be eaten?”
Team Leader Woo Kyung-soo asks.
She was a little concerned when Seo Ye-na asked Jo Sung-hyun to feature.
Of course, Woo Kyung-soo knew that Jo Sung-hyun’s vocals were attractive.
‘That and this are a little different.’
There are many attractive vocalists, but not everyone becomes an artist.
Jo Sung-hyun’s vocals are attractive and his musical understanding is of course excellent, but it was difficult for team leader Woo Kyung-soo to judge whether participating in Seo Ye-na’s album would be beneficial to Seo Ye-na.
When Seo Ye-na pushes, it’s just giving her strength.
In addition, I had a desire to know what to think after Seong-hyeon Cho accepted.
Seo Ye-na looked up and looked at Team Leader Woo Kyung-soo while cutting the pork cutlet.
“sister.”
“yes.”
“The vocals I just heard are better than I thought.”
“It did.”
To be honest, I didn’t expect much from Jo Sung-hyun’s vocals.
Dealing with music as a producer, and simply being good at music, and being good at music as an artist are very different.
Cho Sung-hyun has no experience as an artist, so I thought it would be a bit difficult.
However, Jo Sung-hyun’s vocals that I heard this time were not shaken at all.
just perfect
“Songs and albums. It will work. don’t worry.”
Seo Ye-na said that and put the pork cutlet in her mouth.
Team leader Woo Kyung-soo looked at the pork cutlet she was eating for a moment and then thought of Chae-yoon.
“Well, if it wasn’t good, Chaeyoon would have stopped it.”
she muttered
