NOVEL NEXT chapter 176
[176] The dignity of a girl group (5)
After Saudi Arabia, shooting variety shows continued in Dubai.
The members maintained their tension until quite late.
Somi could feel a strong bond with her arcade members.
The same sky enter, company family.
So I expected you to take care of my birthday too.
‘Why is no one talking.’
No way, I’m going to match it with the one celebrated by the Saudi royal family!
“Peddy!”
Then, Nam Min-ji raised his hand and said.
As expected, the only ones who take care of mentors are juniors.
“When are we going to that building?”
“…”
She pointed at a tall building through the bus window.
“Ah, Burj Khalifa.”
“Yes!!”
I thought you were bringing up a birthday story.
“I’ve come this far, but it’s a pity if I don’t go!”
“Sorry, but we’re not going in there.”
“Oh why!”
“Because it’s prettier to see it from the outside.”
“Hey.”
Soon, with a sullen look on his face, he moved to the bus window.
“Somi.”
At that time, the CEO who sat next to me and called himself.
As expected, the only person who takes care of birthdays is the CEO.
“Why?”
Somi looked at him with her bright eyes again.
Solar’s father wouldn’t pretend not to know her daughter’s birthday.
“What is thank you in Arabic?”
“Yes?”
“To tip the bus driver.”
“Oh I don’t know!”
“You know.”
“I don’t know!”
“I don’t know, it’s half words.”
“That is unfair.”
Her older sisters have already said happy birthday to her.
After a while,
The bus arrived at its destination, in front of Fountain Square.
A large crowd gathered around and shouted.
“Kyaaa! Solar! Solar! Solar!”
“So Mi E!!”
“Jeong Soo Ho Oh Oh!!”
“…”
Now there are solar fan clubs all over the world.
There were also fans who were sparsely holding pickets and cheering.
Even late at night, the light emitted by the skyscrapers decorated the city.
“Come on, everyone.”
My PD-nim smiled and opened his mouth.
“Now we have 15 minutes.”
“What?”
“In the meantime, I’m bored, so I play games.”
“Another game!?”
It was a simple game of rock-paper-scissors to hit the night.
It would have been fine if today wasn’t my birthday.
I wouldn’t have been sad if I got hit one night.
Damn-!
“Quaaang!”
So-mi hit her head with Emma and shed her tears.
“Eh, again!”
“Senpai is too nasty.”
“Cadet.”
As expected, Somi is specialized in her skills.
She never did one of her chin-ups on her knees even at the North Pole.
Even when playing league games, his physical strength was weak.
“Whoa, let’s solve the quiz and get it right.”
“Dame.”
“…”
Because it’s my birthday today
The words almost reached the end of my lips.
‘Ah, it’s sad.’
Could this be a hidden camera?
The moment I started to deny reality.
“Everyone, shall we count to 10 seconds?”
“Yeah?”
My PD-nim looked at his watch and started counting.
“Teeen!!!”
It’s not Jae-ya’s bell, it’s some kind of count.
My wife and the fans who were watching around me joined the countdown.
“Nine, Eight, Seven!”
While I was alone and confused.
“Three, two, whoa!!!”
The count number goes up to the last number.
CEO Jung Soo-ho appeared with a cake among the staff.
“Aw, I pretended not to know on purpose!”
“Happy birthday, Somi.”
“…”
I barely knew how to shed tears!
Then, everyone’s eyes turned to his back.
Shoot aaa!
A fountain with beautiful streams of colorful light gushing out.
Somi checked the video of herself looking over her fountain.
The times when I went to the army, took pictures of the jungle, and stayed on safari.
Filling the walls of the skyscraper, she came into view of the broadcast she had been appearing on.
“…Is it me?”
The appearances shown at concert halls or entertainment programs decorated the entire outer wall of the building.
“Happy birthday. This is my gift.”
“Ah.”
The moment he received the representative’s gift, his eyes blurred.
Of course I thought you weren’t interested in birthdays.
It must have been hidden for a surprise like this.
The heart that had been sad all day melted away like snow.
All the arcade members gather together and give warm hugs.
“Ew, are you feeling sorry for Somi?”
“No.”
“Ow, Somi is crying!”
“I’m not crying!”
“Cry, cry!”
Somi forced a smile on her face and moistened her eyes.
In line with the dignity of a girl group.
Elegant yet classy.
“Poo ae ae ae ae ae ae ae ae ae.”
I shed tears like chicken droppings.
* * *
The filming continued after Somi’s birthday party.
Our last evening in the Middle East.
Today was the last overseas shoot.
‘Somi’s reaction is good.’
Somi’s birthday celebration video has already gone viral on YouTube.
The number of people who mentioned this broadcast also increased.
Solar, as well as Luna and Eclipse.
Since they are all entertainment characters, I was looking forward to what kind of chemistry they would show.
“Everyone! We’ll prepare a dinner quiz soon!”
The members gathered at PD-nim’s cry.
“PD-nim, it smells strange!”
“It’s stinky tofu. If everything is wrong, only one person will eat it. hahahaha.”
“It smells a little…”
“You just need to get it right!”
“…”
If everything is wrong, are you saying you can’t eat dinner and eat stinky tofu?
Did you feel relieved to have to cut out that amount at the end of the trip?
“Then I’ll go first with Emma.”
“It’s a Japanese anime OST quiz!?”
“No.”
“Hing.”
I want to help.
How many of her Japanese OSTs does Emma know?
I sneaked up and proposed to producer Na Hyun-seok.
“PD-nim, it could be fun.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Yes. How about giving a few problems?”
“Hmm, okay!”
Emma smiled at me and raised her thumb.
Common people only remembered him as Diana’s sister.
‘Let’s have a cake this time.’
R&B songs and rap skills are good too.
No one knows except Eclipse fans.
“Then let’s go lightly practice.”
“Yes!”
“Please listen to the anime OST that I play for one second and guess.”
“Ah, that makes sense…”
Beep-
I didn’t know you could play it for just one second.
Emma raised her hand and she said.
“Answer! Sekai and Shukufukuno inserted as the ending song for Season 3 of Suzumi’s Summer Diary!!!”
“?”
Guess this!?
“Ooh, maybe it’s a coincidence. Another song!”
“…”

Kate-
The next problem was exactly 1 second cut.
“Correct! Fate’s play of fate is like playing with fire, the opening song for the 1st season! It’s a ding song!”
“…”
I acknowledge your virtue.
“That’s the correct answer. I’ll end the problem with the anime OST.”
“Konoyaro! There’s no way it’s already over!!!”
“Yes. I’ll give you the next question.”
“Eh.”
As expected, the problem solved by ordinary people was destroyed like a dog.
“Miss Emma, Ding!”
“Aww.”
The members cried at the nasty ding sound.
Emma is a foreigner, but isn’t she giving too difficult a problem?
“Peddy!”
Soon after, Somi raised her hand and called me PD.
The madness coming from clear eyes made the staff very nervous.
“It seems like they keep giving me problems that I can’t solve!”
“Ah, no way.”
“I can’t believe it.”
“These are problems that all of us writers verify and submit.”
“Then try to solve my problem too!”
“?”
The other members nodded in agreement.
“Ah, if you search on the Internet and ask for any problem…”
“No. I’ll only give you the questions that are in my head! Only the questions I know the answer to.”
“…”
What kind of rebellion is this
Most of the full-time producers at Tvm graduated from Korea University.
At least he must have graduated from Sky University.
“Somi, if the production team guesses, there will be no dinner tonight. Do you agree?”
“What if I can’t get even one right?”
“Well, we must starve.”
“Don’t starve, PD-nim, show me a stinky tofu mukbang alone.”
“OK!”
I think you’re making a mistake.
Somi: Her memory isn’t moderately good.
“I’ll give you a common sense question first.”
Her crew waited for her with her confident expression. Not yet.
“Tell me the total mass of ordinary matter in the universe using the critical density and diameter of the observable universe in astronomy.”
“… Yes?”
Somi, take it easy.
“Ding!”
If you can’t answer in exactly 3 seconds, you’re done.
Me, producer, I don’t think you’ll be able to eat dinner tonight.
“The problem is strange.”
“Beep. It’s normal.”
“… Do you have the correct answer?”
“Yes. The answer is 1.5 times 10 to the 53rd kilogram!”
“Wow, that’s very informative.”
“Of course!
Na P.D. Intuited her own future and smiled happily.
“It’s mirror treatment.”
A broadcasting ghost who lived to harass the members.
Being a star producer wasn’t for everyone.
Before long, he started a tearful stinky tofu mukbang show.
* * *
After a while,
The production team of Arcade Universe has returned to Korea.
Filming is going smoothly.
Yeji cooked Chinese food for the arcade members.
“…They eat well.”
How many days did you starve?
I’m not the type of friends who have such a big appetite.
He patted Somi, who was eating jajangmyeon, as it was buried in her mouth.
“?”
In an instant, Somi opened her eyes wide and looked at her Minji.
“Wait, what are you doing?”
“Yes? Why?”
Minji tries to pour sweet and sour pork sauce and Somi tries to stop it.
In a fleeting moment, the two exchanged sharp glances.
“I have to eat less. I’m taking it.”
“Senior, sweet and sour pork is a dish that has been poured since birth.”
“I can’t eat it when it’s soggy.”
“You should know this taste too.”
“Calm down. Let’s put down the sauce and talk.”
“…”
How the hell did they starve in the Middle East?
Do you know the feeling that these children are full?
“Senior, how do you dip sweet and sour pork? I’m disappointed.”
“Ah, did you pour it and eat it!”
“Then you can’t taste the tangsuyuk!”
“Ah-oh!”
So why are you fighting over something like this?
If this was the case, I should have given you two.
Soon after, the CEO finished the meeting and appeared in the practice room.
“CEO!”
Say hello to yourself who greets you.
“Hey Yeji, what about the other members?”
“I’m the only one who can’t film in the morning!”
“Aha.”
I looked around the arcade members eating Chinese food.
“What, what were you eating?”
“Do you want to eat together?”
“You guys eat a lot.”
“Does the representative take pictures?”
“…”
I moved on lightly and continued the conversation.
“CEO, who are you looking for?”
“Diana, are you in the studio?”
“Oh, yes! Would you like to go with me?”
“Is that so?”
The representative I haven’t seen in a long time.
Yeji stared at his profile as he walked down the hallway.
Soon, he held his hand softly without realizing it.
“No, what if someone sees it?”
“Oh, so can I catch it if no one is looking?”
“No.”
“No way.”
Soon after, Um Ji-yu called the two from behind.
“You two, don’t show off here!”
“… To?”
Yeji’s heart sank.
In an instant, the sky turned yellow.
“Ah, uh, when…?”
“There’s no one in the supply room on the 4th floor, so let’s go there. Okay?”
“Mmm.”
Ji-U says it casually and disappears.
Soon, the representative shrugged his shoulders and said.
“I don’t like the small furnishings room.”
“Did Jiyu know?”
“Huh? Oh, it’s been a while.”
“…”
Rather good
I was recognized for flirting with the manager.
“CEO, the furnishings room is on the 4th floor, so go ahead.”
“Be quiet and follow me quickly.”
“Hing.”
Drooling-
Diana’s workshop.
She had a conversation with the representative she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“I chose the right song this time.”
“Can I look forward to it?”
“Yeah!”
Soon, a harsh sound came through the speakers.
“You should play the song I ordered you to arrange, not gangster hip-hop.”
“Oh, that’s over too.”
“… That’s the main.”
“Anyway.”
Diana touches the midi again.
Soon, she took up a fresh-feeling electric guitar and drums studio.
‘Ah, the rock version of Save The Earth.’
I couldn’t simply limit it to the word ‘rock’.
Fresh music that crosses genres.
New rock with a touch of hyperpop.
Yeji looked at Diana with new eyes.
This is the true skill of a Billboard-level trendsetter.
Her music breaks the limits of genre.
“I didn’t do it alone.”
“Ah, with Ailee.”
“Yes.”
The original song focused solely on emotional lyrics and melodies.
‘With such an addictive beat…’
It has been transformed into a new song with an experimental and unique sound.
Of course, the representative must have felt it too.
The great producer’s musicality.
“CEO?”
He quietly closed his eyes and listened to the music.
It seemed like I was falling into the focus.
A genius who even cut and edited the song that the chairman of the Friends room participated in several times.
In the end, he proved his genius on the Grammy stage.
The combination of the two geniuses eventually produced the best synergy.
Soon after, CEO Chung gently took his hand to the back of his head and pressed it hard.
“My head is pounding.”
“Yes? Where are you sick?”
“It’s not like that.”
A crescent-shaped smile hung on his lips.
“Let’s go like this.”
Soon after, Suho returned to his seat and continued to appreciate his song.
Performance Director at Wembley Stadium.
The deadline for submitting the proposal to Daniel is getting closer and closer.
“Brother!”
At that time, Umji Yu approached and handed over headache medicine.
“He said he had a headache.”
“No, I’m fine now.”
“Okay. Oppa, take it easy on your work.”
“…”
Didn’t do anything.
I just listened to the song
‘Something, the back of the head…’
I think I got hit with a stick.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this kind of numbness.
It went far beyond just tickling or stinging.
“Aren’t you having a hard time in the Middle East?”
“It’s not like that.”
Suho had a different reason for following him there in the first place.
‘Luna and Eclipse.’
Not even Solar.
He wanted to raise it enough to enter the Billboard charts.
“Let’s prepare one new song.”
“What new song?”
“Ah, our company group song. I feel good right now.”
“Okay.”
It looks like I’ll be eating rice cakes soon.

A few days later,
A trailer for 「Arcade Universe」 Has been uploaded on the tvm nutube channel.
And, the same video was uploaded on Space Idol Godsomi’s channel.
“Are these things doing all sorts of things?”
“…”
Capital Management Office.

Kiara frowned as she watched the trailer.
He’s heard that competitions go around like that.
“Yeji Kim and Jang Jang-seo are filming a movie?”
“Oh, um. Yang Joo-hee too.”
“…”
Does that mean you don’t see yourself as a competitor?
“Ha, that’s ridiculous.”
Music activities take a back seat, and filming a movie for variety shows.
Didn’t Solar barely enter the Billboard last year?
“Let’s prepare a new song.”
“Can you do this with concert preparations?”
“Of course!”
There was no reason why I couldn’t do those things.
“Kiara! Come here!”
“?”
At that time, the manager called him and handed over his smartphone.
“He has a hashtag on social media…”
“What, what is this?”
Someone shared a link to Somi Youtube channel.
Why is the artist who was my childhood idol all the same?
“… Is that a lie?”
