121 – Public Enemies (7)
1.
The morning after the conversation with Byul.
I told the members gathered in the practice room the conclusion I came to after talking yesterday, ‘I will sell a You Tube channel.’
“······Suddenly You Tube?”
Then a natural question comes back.
I was able to confidently answer Lira’s question because I listened to Byuli’s special lecture on Nurtube for socially misfits like me yesterday.
“Yes, this is our first marketing that will make you the best idols.”
Anything other than explaining it as a process is a half-baked dialogue that is empty of the middle process for the listener’s understanding.
Instead of accepting the answer, another question came in.
“How does being a youtuber make you the best idol?”
And this is also an expected question.
I opened my mouth expecting to be able to show a strong adult image to Lira and other members for the first time in a long time.
“That’s right…”
“To build a story.”
But Byul, who was next to me, brought out the answer I was trying to give before me.
“Story?”
“Yes, the story.”
Because of that, I licked my lips a few times and then closed my mouth sullenly. Byul, who got the perfect opportunity for an explanation like that, started explaining the ‘reason to start You Tube’ that he told me yesterday. Did.
“Even in my eyes, which have seen numerous stars in the world, you are the best gemstones that can shine brighter than anyone else. When we debut, the whole country will be in an uproar right away.”
“Yeah, is it going that far…?”
“Are we at that level?”
“I think it’s overrated… but the pressure makes me feel sick…”
“We are all members personally selected by my older brother, so that’s natural.”
“That’s right. It’s only natural that we’re certified by our manager.”
When you look at the scale of what Byul says, it’s normal for him to react modestly like Lira and Jiwoo.
However, Ha An-i and Haru acknowledged Byul-i’s words, ‘They are the best gemstones’ and ‘The whole country is buzzing!’ Without any filtering.
And the basis for that is me. That fact just felt heavy.
To believe in me this much… Impressive, but something. Hmm. Can’t make eye contact
I couldn’t do anything productive for more than a month and died. The unshakable trust between Ha An and Haru was too burdensome for me.
But the good news is that the other three don’t trust me to the extent of Ha An and Haru. If that was the case with the other three, they would have died from the pressure.
“Yes yes! We were gemstones that manager oppaya gathered while throwing himself away, and we had no choice but to become the best idols in the world!”
Huh? Erase? Drift like that there?
“Well, since we are that good, oppa must have done that for us too. I was a bit scared to hear that I was the best in the world, but thinking about what my brother said and did, I think I can have confidence.”
Lia, you too? Are you suddenly drifting to increase reliability here?
Simply counting the number, the stomach wall started to scream at the doubled trust.
If things go on like this, for the first time in my life, it is clear that stomach perforation will occur not because of physical factors, but because of psychological factors.
However, I managed to overcome this crisis because I don’t think we, who can make the most rational and objective judgment among the five, would trust us as close to ignorance as the remaining four.
“D, I guess that’s what I heard…? I also met quite a few celebrities while living as a trainee, but there was definitely no one prettier than the people here now! Being acknowledged by Ji and Jinhyeok oppa meant that I had enough potential to aim for the best in the world!”
Thinking about it, we were definitely the ones who could make the most objective self-judgment among us, but at the same time, we were also the ones who were easily swept away by the atmosphere.
As a trainee of a young entertainment company, in order to survive in that jungle-like survival program, it would have been best to follow the trend as much as possible and not make enemies.
The ability to read the atmosphere that we learned there brought about the development of the sociable part for us.
Crying.
He brought me gastric perforation.
Recently, I am nothing more than a piece of trash struggling to be recycled even though it is impossible to completely recycle. I mean, I’m not the kind of person to trust that much.
I have no doubt that my kids will succeed, but it’s all because our members are smart, not because I have a good eye.
Just because someone looks at a natural diamond the size of a fist and says, “That must be incredibly expensive!” Doesn’t mean that person has an extraordinary eye.
It’s not because I’m great that I blindly believe in our members that they will become the best idols in the world.
Because it’s just the way it is.
So, the overwhelming trust the members gave to Kang Jin-hyeok, who is now a redundant human being, was no different from poison to me.
“Cool.”
Because of that, a heavy cough came out spontaneously, like a person with blood inside.
“Brother? Why do you suddenly have a heavy cough like a sick person?”
“No, just… My stomach suddenly hurts.”
“Brother? Stomach upset? What nonsense.”
Of course, Byeol-i, who knew quite a bit about me, if not anything about me, instantly determined that this stomach perforation was phantom pain caused by a psychological aspect.
But phantom pain is also a pain, and I was definitely feeling pain in the stomach, so I took a step away and shrank my body slightly to relieve the pain as much as possible.
“Anyway, it’s no surprise that you guys are the best gemstones in the world, so let’s move on. From now on, I will tell you why stories are important.”
While I was temporarily retired, Byul continued the story that had been cut off for a while.
“Actually, there are few reasons why stories are important. You can just lump it all together and assume it’s for one reason only.”
“What is that?”
Because Byeol spoke like a professor character from a boy’s cartoon, we were swept away by the atmosphere and asked questions like a student heroine.
Then, Byul showed her white teeth as if she had been waiting for such a question, and answered boldly.
“That’s right. It’s because of the immersion.”
In the story of someone’s success, the story before success is one of the attractive elements that many people fall for.
In terms of the Three Kingdoms, Taoyuan Resolution can be cited as an example, and even in modern times, autobiographies written by successful people on how they reached that position are very popular.
If you come across the process of reaching success in this way through the media, readers or listeners will feel as if they have contributed to that success.
You can even comment on what we are trying to do on You Tube, so the level of immersion will increase even more.
Then, when they succeed one day, viewers regard their success as a success they achieved because they were together.
“The level of immersion you have built will become the foundation of a very strong concrete fan base that will support your idol life in the future.”
The root of fans’ loyalty to idols that never wavers.
“So, filming and posting your pre-debut stories on You Tube is not for success, but for the days after success.”
Since we finished the reason that Byeol told me yesterday that we should do You Tube without a single mistake, silence came to the practice room.

Even Ji-yeon, who tried to evoke the atmosphere, had her mouth half-open and the chilly silence was inevitable.
Of course, I understand that. I was just as dumbfounded when I first heard that from Byul.
Actually, what Byul said itself might be terribly realistic, but it wasn’t that wrong.
That’s what you said, but in the end, it meant that you had to do You Tube to make core fans who would stick with you until the end.
And sending support to idol trainees actually contributes to their success, right?
If you look at it one by one, these were pretty obvious words.
But the reason why everyone in here was so shocked except for the day I heard it first is because the person who said this came out of the mouth of the best solo singer and greatest star in existence, superstar Nova.
It is shocking to hear that Byul, who is the dream of countless trainees, says things like immersion, contribution, loyalty, foundation, and concrete fan base.
Even I, who was more familiar with Byeol-i before becoming a superstar Nova, couldn’t speak for about 5 minutes when I first heard that.
Since I was surprised that much, our members who knew Byul not as Byul, but as Superstar Nova, would be shocked.
I can’t help it. I have no choice but to step out here.
I let out a light sigh and cleared my throat to rectify the mess that Byul had opened, and opened the engine to freshen up the atmosphere.
“Come on, guys, that’s what they say, so it’s a star…”
“Hmm. It’s definitely not wrong. Did you say that you got to that position because you did this much?”
However, I was cut off in season 1942485 due to Ha An’s nonchalant reaction that I hadn’t even imagined.
“I didn’t even know about this industry because I didn’t care. I understand how you explain it. I think there are definitely enough benefits. Making a You Tube video.”
I felt like my head was pounding and ringing at the acceptance of the day that followed.
Something. I think it’s going wrong.
