[Yang Yi-hyung: Hey, I’m so mad right now that I don’t work with TRV]
[Oh cool]
[Yang Yi-hyung: Cell phone goes out and turns off]
[I love you]
[Yang Yi-hyung: Hey, you crazy bastard, search for it]
“It’s good and that’s it.”
I smiled and said, Kang Hyo-jun asked.
“Isn’t this hyung a lot?”
“Anyway, no matter where you hang up, you’re an older brother, huh?”
“Unlike Lee Hyung, he’s really nice.”
“It’s not about being kind, it’s about being a gentleman.”
And after a while I started shooting.
Today was a shoot for VMC’s performance channel. First light was also filmed, and it was one of the contents that Sunyangyi liked very much.
By the way, it must have spread that First Light didn’t go to VVV, but everyone did a great job.
I asked Hyojun Kang in the middle.
“Your cousin, aren’t you angry? Why are you so good to me?”
“That maternal grandfather… … not.”
Kang Hyo-jun said with a very embarrassed face. You wrote your maternal grandfather’s card… … . roughly guessed I decided to just pretend not to know.

Anyway, that’s how it ended. Doing it alone was a bit more hectic, and it was several times more difficult.
I think I’ll do better next time, but I didn’t plan on doing it alone for the time being. To be honest, I wanted to put this song on the First Light album again this time… … I couldn’t say I hate TRV. Still, it was fun.
Without the members, I had a lot of time to think because I continued to promote alone. So in the meantime, I was able to write a song for our youngest child to be included in the next album.
I really thought a lot about Park Seon-jae’s solo song. When I asked if there was anything I wanted, I said, ‘Your brother will take care of it’. This was the most difficult order.
Returning to the dormitory after the activities ended, I bought a lot of chicken and beer in both hands. And before the door could open, the tired voice of Dawn Byeok was heard.
“Where does the smell of chicken come from… … .”
I spoke from the front door and opened the door before me. I was still holding chicken in both hands, so I didn’t have one, but it worked.
“Chicken!”
Min Ji-ho got excited and took the chicken, so I grumbled.
“Do you like chicken more than me?”
“No, I’m more than happy to see you.”
Min Ji-ho, who couldn’t just get over that kind of thing, said with a smirk and opened the chicken box.
“I’m so happy that hyung won Jaebin hyung!”
“yes?”
Since I couldn’t understand it, Joo Won Ahn explained it to me. It seems that Min Ji-ho’s former agency and IMX member Jaebin, who outdone Min Ji-ho, was ranked 56th in the daily 4th generation idol solo rankings. By the way, it seems that I was in 54th place for a while.
“Probably Jiho was more nervous than you.”
“okay? Then I’m happy to win.”
At my words, Min Ji-ho was excited and smiled. Han Hyo-seok asked.
“Hyung, is the schedule over now? Are you taking a break?”
“Yeah, I’m going to rest today. Starting tomorrow, I will go to Lee hyung hyung’s studio and listen to the awards ceremony arrangement.”
Having said that, I put my chicken on the plate. He watched me and Joo Won Ahn put them separately. Otherwise, we might not be able to get it… … .
After eating and drinking some non-alcoholic beer, I pulled out my phone.
“Ah, I made it as a solo song for the youngest child.”
Then, Park Seon-jae got excited and took a drink and moved to my side and sat down.
“Let’s hear it.”
I immediately played a song that I made with Park Seon-jae’s solo thoughts. Focusing on the guitar, I was thinking of making as few instruments as possible. Let our youngest child’s voice be heard the best.
Park Seon-jae said in a moved voice.
“It’s a ballad.”
“Isn’t that rock?”
Stork Dawn asked. So I replied.
“I just made it with that in mind. When Seonjae sings the same song, it’s a ballad, and when Dawn sings it, it’s rock.”
As I always feel, the gap between genres and genres seems really narrow. In addition, while promoting alone this time, the idea that a song is a song, but a singer itself is a genre has grown. Thinking about it that way made me feel much more free.
The members listened to such stories quite seriously and nodded their heads. After the song was over, Park Seon-jae was excited no matter who he was and said to me.
“Good? I thought hyung was a very cute song.”
“I made cute things, but I wanted to keep the vocals alive.”
“Did you write two songs?”
At my words, the members glance at me. Shin Ji-woon said, pouring beer without looking back.
“Now it’s a waste of my stamina to nag.”
… … Ugh, I don’t know how long I have to keep working like this.
Anyway, I played another song I was making for Park Seon-jae. It was a light, upbeat song with a teen feel.
“It’s a good thing.”
“Are you just fine?”
“I am not a baby. I’m getting lazy.”
Park Seon-jae decided to cut off the members’ reactions. And it was said.
“But this is good too.”
“How about solo?”
When I asked, Park Seon-jae thought about it for a long time and said.
“We sing cute things, give me a ballad.”
“Are you sure?”
“yes. I really wanted to sing something like this.”
thank god. So was my thinking.
The members still look like cute things don’t suit them, but I wanted Park Seon-jae to slowly show off her charm as a vocalist. So, rather than an image, I wanted to sing a song that made use of the vocal itself. Because our youngest child has to grow bigger… … .
Anyway, after that decision was made, Min Ji-ho asked while listening to the song that was decided as a group song.
“What is this instrument?”
“ukulele. I brought a ukulele from London again… … No, I’m not going again.”
Min Ji-ho grabs me and shakes me when I talk about London. Ugh, I can’t even say a word to see my nephew on vacation.
Even so, he did not miss this opportunity and showed his nephew, Noeul, a picture to the members.
Then, while Noeul urged her sister to send more pictures, the Sai members took turns singing two songs.
And I saw Ahn Joo-won as the center of the lyrics writing. Seeing that, the members looked back and smiled.
“Because Noeul is cute.”
At my words, the members muttered, ‘That’s it’, and were absorbed in the lyrics again. To say that I laughed because it was reassuring was embarrassing, so I didn’t plan on doing it.

Fruity’s reaction started to get stronger after the activity ended.
In particular, the music video brought by Jeong Hae-won, who was known as Kylom’s ‘PD-nim’, who had already started activities in Japan, has been ranked at the top of the popular videos all the time, and the popularity has grown even more.
[PD-nim was beautiful… … .]
[Is the PD on the same team as Seongyeom?]
[The PD must definitely want to perform live in Japan]
[I believe you will be making music for First Light Japan]
[Please take care of Japanese fans ㅠㅠ]
The remaining period of First Light on TRV was about seven and a half months.
TRV CEO Choi Dong-guk assessed First Light’s activities in Japan during that period.
However, if First Light goes to another company, TRV will make a huge initial investment, and even if it explodes and tours, the money will be eaten by the next company.
Choi Ki-moon, his son, boasted that he could get First Light in a new contract, but Choi Dong-guk did not believe it.
Now I thought my trust in my son had run out, and there was more. A phone call from the vice president just hit the last shot.
-CEO, Yang Yi-hyeong, the writer… … I can’t contact you… … .
“Hey, what kind of X sound is this again… … .”
Representative Choi Dong-guk was craving for the back goal and lay down again.
The rookie development team reports that they are preparing well for the rookie group, but if that was true, the employees would not have left in such a mass.
Even after leaving the company, almost one company moved. It was the company where Jung Hae-won worked as a solo artist.
CEO Dong-guk Choi made a decision after much consideration. Representative Choi Dong-guk called the representative of the agency who released Jung Hae-won’s solo soundtrack.
– Yes, sir.
“okay… … . Are you now representing Kang?”
– Just call me comfortably.
“The representative is the representative. Anyway, CEO Kang, are you going to sign a contract with First Light?”
-I do not know. yes it would be nice
Looking at the answer, it seems that the story is almost over. CEO Dong-guk Choi continued.
“We’ve been working with Japanese giants for a long time.”
-Yes.
“How about preparing for our Japanese debut together?”
Anyway, if you make an initial investment here, the profit will be seen by the representative over there, so there is no reason for TRV to prepare for Japanese activities.
Next year will be the third year. It doesn’t matter which year it is, but 8 months in the current annual leave was a very long time. Losing half a year because TRV didn’t release an album was a huge loss from the team’s point of view.
CEO Dong-guk Choi continued.
“Even if you have the funds, it won’t be difficult to use VVV Entertainment’s Japanese distribution right away. Because we will risk life and death to push it.”
-Are you talking about extending the contract period only in Japan instead?
It would be nice to go together all the time, but I thought it would only be called a patou, so CEO Dong-guk Choi was confused.
“Let’s earn some yen together. Of course, I know that Haewon doesn’t want that friend.”
– No, I don’t want it.
When I saw that he was protecting the artist right away, I was even more angry. Ha, this guy should have been my son… … .
Choi Dong-guk continued to speak, suppressing his anger.
“My son, I won’t be able to come near the entertainment industry in the future, and I plan to hire someone outside of the professional CEO.”
-… … After consultation, I will call you within this month.
“Do that.”
Representative Choi Dong-guk spoke and hung up the phone. And then he groaned again and lay down.

“It’s out!”
When Min Ji-ho, who was sitting on the floor of the practice room waiting for the video, spoke, the members flocked to it.
The music broadcast ended in the first week, but the new agency started a full-fledged push from now on.
It was a special video of Jung Hae-won playing the piano version of Fruity in the snowy field where the chapel was located, where the music video was filmed.
Shin Ji-woon said to Ahn Joo-won.
“Good suggestion.”
“Is not it?”
There was a piano in the external practice room where Jung Hae-won was practicing, and Joo-won Ahn, who had visited there, saw Jung Hae-won playing the piano version of Fruity and suggested a special video.
Fortunately, as soon as the new agency heard the offer, they contacted director Hong immediately and decided to shoot a special video at the music video set.
It was a good thing for the First Light members that what they proposed would come true. It was because there were many members who were greedy for the stage and always had ideas.
It was an agency that could make it all happen regardless of the amount of money.
After the members gathered and watched the video, Ahn Joo-won confirmed the reaction.
[Is this what it is? Did Haewon give you a spoiler on the X app? A video suggested by Joo Won?]
[↳ This seems to be right ㅠㅠㅠㅠ What is the juniper? Why is our team so full of geniuses ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[Ha, the music video filming set gives you a piano version of that outfit… … ? To kill the sun… … .]
[Heart is ripped out]
[What are you lazy? … ???]
[I’m really crazy, I can’t say it ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[The taste of capital… … . Sweet… … ]
[↳My kids are probably going to move here!??]
[↳↳Huh, this please ㅠㅠ]
[↳↳I really like working here ㅠㅠ How long has it been since I uploaded a video other than a music video and a music room?]
[I’m busy with solo production for other teams, take care of your own team too ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[↳Looking back these days, he doesn’t seem to be interested in team activities.]
[↳Pera It’s been a while since the album came out, so… … ]
[↳↳???Haewon is not interested in team activities? I live in a different world]
[↳↳↳Ignore those bastards and say that if you release a lot of albums, you will make a lot of them]
[Haewon, posted by regular_1228, cried while watching the growth pic.]
[↳ ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[↳I’m in tears ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[↳Kook Seon-ah, I was hesitant about the low image quality… … . I see now… … .]
[↳ He grew up really well ㅠㅠ]
The response was good. Ahn Joo-won found Jung Hae-won, who was calling in the hallway, and carefully opened the door. Jung Hae-won spoke.
“Then the TRV contract will end as scheduled, so we’re going to sign a contract with only the Japanese promotion period until the end of next year?”
It was like a serious phone call, so I quietly closed the door again and was about to enter, but I heard Jung Hae-won speaking.
“First, I ask the members’ opinions first. If you like it, I hope Joo Won can adjust the contract for individual activities instead. as she wants So even if it’s not forgiveness… … .”
Ahn Joo-won opened the door and went out into the hallway again.
