NOVEL NEXT The Road to Glory

TLN: La bise is an exchange of kisses on the cheek and the traditional greeting in France
“What’s that, you weeb?”If the stewardess hadn’t come out in time with ramen filled with shiitake mushrooms, Moon Seoyeon might have really grabbed him by the collar.Halo woke up around the time the announcement that they were arriving at Incheon Airport sounded.Nam Gyuhwan, who had watched one melodrama and one action movie, saw that the boy next to him had woken up and immediately got to the point.“Boss, really nothing happened?”“?”“With Olivia.”“Ah.”Halo smiled faintly, which Nam Gyuhwan took as a sign of denial.He sympathized deeply, as if he had lost a connection himself, and felt sorry.Well, Olivia was surprised when she heard the boy’s age. They haven’t met since then, so it seems to have really ended.“I once had a love like that too.”“You must be crazy.”Halo laughed as he watched their banter, not mentioning that he had actually gotten Olivia’s contact information.He had no intention of contacting the young 21 or 22-year-old friend.[Ladies and gentlemen, we will be arriving at Incheon Airport shortly. For your safety, please fasten your seatbelts-]Halo stretched as he listened to the announcement.He thought he should go straight to the studio and resume the album work he had paused. After all, he’d gotten enough sleep on the plane.However, he had to revise his plan.It was true that he needed to work on the album, but ‘straight away’ might be difficult.What greeted them as they exited the arrival hall was a barrage of cameras and shouts directed at the boy.“It’s Roh Haeil!”“Roh Haeil-ssi, we heard you were cast for the TDS talk show-““Are you aware that the video of your LA cafe performance is currently a hot topic in Korea?”Perhaps the shouts were directed not at the boy, but at national pride. Reporters frantically taking pictures.Although not as much as when a top star arrives,There was quite a bit of interest in his overseas activities.Perhaps it’s only natural.They hadn’t spoken to SNS, communities, or reporters, but that didn’t mean they were just sitting idle in America.@jh1230 Wow… I met Roh Haeil└ ??? Roh Haeil? Where?└ What is this? Talking without proof?└ I’m at Santa Monica Beach right now and Roh Haeil is busking with a black guy??└ (proof)└ What incredible social skills OMGWhether it was their own singer or someone else’s, just meeting a celebrity was enough to make fingers twitch.[Breaking))) Roh Haeil trending in LA right now]└ Why is this happening?└ Why Roh Haeil└ Looking at the photos, he seems really happy└ So am I the only one curious? Why is Roh Haeil in America? Wasn’t he preparing a new song?└ There must have been some event, it doesn’t seem like a music video└ What’s that?└ Does anyone here know anything? lolIf a few eyewitness accounts were considered attention-seeking,When dozens of eyewitness accounts popped up, attention-seeking became fact.Eventually, everyone became curious.Why Roh Haeil was in America, and what he had been doing.And soon they discovered traces of the singer who had no intention of hiding in the first place.What the <Riding the Wave> fans discovered was the [Ever Since performance] uploaded directly to NuTube.Initially, the video had no subtitles, but someone added subtitles and re-uploaded it to NuTube, and the full video spread.A successful stage that created a movie-like narrative and emotion. Also, the ending where the skeptical audience calls for an encore was enough to give viewers chills.[Why isn’t this a movie ㅜㅜㅠ Someone make it please]└ Like this?Protagonist – I can lead this performance!Villain 1 – Make sure the performance is canceled by any means necessary!Mastermind 1 – The session going AWOL… Not a bad scenario. Proceed.└ LOL The genre changed[I thought pop would suit him well, but he’s melting, melting]└ The singer’s expression seems to have melted too└ Roh Haeil is still a minor, let’s be careful└ What did I;;;└ Is there a version with better audio quality? I want to listen louder but it breaks up when I turn the volume up└ Doesn’t Roh Haeil sing there?└ It’s that singer’s performance, he just helped because the session bailed, no?└ When is Roh Haeil having a concert, no I mean a fan signing event, I want to hear him properly sing pop songs, his voice sounds familiar somehow└ It’s just a few falsetto phrases, but it does sound a bit like him└ Oh, you too?└ Yes. Not exactly the same, but seems like he was influenced a bit[But didn’t someone say Roh Haeil couldn’t speak English?]And it didn’t end there.Sometimes reporters can be more persistent than the public.They thought Roh Haeil must have gone to America for some purpose, whether an event or schedule, and finally heard about the TDS broadcasting station talk show.Although it’s a talk show not well-known in Korea, sensational articles were produced based on the information that it was a major broadcasting station and a talk show known to locals.What the public is most interested in, isn’t it K-pop? In other words, the Korean Wave. An overseas broadcast invitation, the biggest indicator that the Korean Wave is spreading, was enough to cause this current situation.Click click click!“Roh Haeil-ssi, please answer!”“Roh Haeil-ssi, the people you met at the TDS talk show-“At that moment.The most useful question was heard.“Roh Haeil-ssi, have you finished working on your new song? When exactly is the release date for the new song?”Halo raised the corners of his mouth.#“Roh Haeil, it was slightly visible, but that’s it.”“Crazy?”“Yeah.”A different reporter looked at Watermelon with an incredulous face.Watermelon – Latest Single Album (Domestic)[(NEW) Lighthouse of the Night │ Roh Haeil]The day of return.Music released at midnight.The promotional effect of an independent label without a PR team was created by them.“He said tonight, and I thought it was nonsense, but it really popped up at midnight. Though I’m not sure if midnight counts as tonight.”“More than that, I thought the album work would take at least three more months. Was it something that could be made so quickly?”“Well, he probably prepared while doing the rendezvous.”Roughly calculating the time, they thought he must have been preparing since the rendezvous filming.“He’s definitely amazing.”The different reporter listened to the single while crossing his arms. Actually, he had already heard the song during the guerrilla busking, but listening to the properly recorded version made it feel new.“How do you think it will perform?”“Making it to the top chart should be easy.”“It’s funny to say it’s easy, but I think so too.”When it was said that Roh Haeil was releasing a new song, there was talk that he was copying Halo, but it’s certain that it will be quiet for a while.Well, if the song doesn’t perform well, it might get noisy.To his ears, it sounds good, so shouldn’t it perform well? He’s the one receiving the biggest expectations in Korea, if not abroad.“I wonder if Roh Haeil is sleeping now.”The different reporter’s colleague scoffed at his words.“What, is he a good little child? Going to bed right at twelve o’clock. He’s probably so nervous right now he can’t get a hold of himself.”“Even if he’s crazy, wouldn’t that be the case?”#That’s not necessarily the case.Although there’s no specific working hours, those who are almost always in Roh Haeil’s studio clicked their tongues at the tightly closed mastering room.“He even released an album today, what on earth is he recording?”“Are you stupid? He’s probably adding vocals to the session recordings from recently.”“No, I know that. But why? Now?”Someone might not be able to focus on anything else with the performance results coming out soon. Well, their young boss isn’t the type to get anxious about such things. Still, they wondered if he didn’t have anything busier to do.“So how is it?”“What?”“The song boss is preparing now.”“Ah.”Nam Gyuhwan, who recorded first through overdubbing, asked Moon Seoyeon. Moon Seoyeon overdubbed after the bass and drums were recorded, so she should know well.She rolled her eyes as she recalled her memory.“It was good, but.”“But?”“Um…”Moon Seoyeon struggled, feeling the limits of her vocabulary.She couldn’t think of appropriate words to express it.If she had to say,“It just didn’t seem like boss’s style.”“Style?”“The song is very simple, should I say. Is it punk?”“Simple but punk?”It certainly seems far from Roh Haeil’s songs.But it’s not impossible. He wondered if the concept for the next album was going punk.“Haven’t you listened to it, Hyungnim?”“I haven’t heard the completed version either. I usually don’t go in when working on albums.”“Right. I don’t go in either to avoid disturbing.”Haeil isn’t trying hard to hide it, but unlike when recording ‘Lighthouse of the Night’, proceeding with overdubbing made them particularly curious.What kind of song is he making?Nam Gyuhwan, who glanced at the mastering room for a moment, suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.“By the way, does boss not sing pop?”“Huh? Why?”Han Jinyeong’s face became slightly subtle at Nam Gyuhwan’s question. He felt déjà vu. It seemed like he had asked something like this before.However, unable to judge based on expression alone, he pretended not to know and moved on. There was something else he wanted more.“Just… I think he would sing it well.”As for English songs, he had heard them when doing jazz, and heard them again when the video came out, but he wanted to properly hear pop or rock.Just a strange feeling.The strange resonance he felt when he directly witnessed Roh Haeil’s Halo cover at the talk show continues until now.It feels like listening to pop would satisfyingly resolve it.“He speaks English well, right? With a rare British English accent in Korea.”English with a strong accent.Since he wasn’t a native speaker, he couldn’t judge what kind of accent it was, but he knew it was British English.“Why don’t we have a team dinner sometime? How about going to karaoke together?”“We can just sing here, why bother?”“Ah, that’s true. Should we ask boss to sing pop?”“Why are you so obsessed with pop?”Nam Gyuhwan’s mouth gaped at Moon Seoyeon’s sharp point.He really thought it was strange and crazy that he was having these thoughts, so he couldn’t say it.“You… Why do you obsess over everything I say? Do you like me? Ha, don’t like me.”“You crazy bastard.”In the end, Nam Gyuhwan changed the subject and naturally got cursed at.“By the way, what are you looking at, hyung?”“The label’s official email.”“Official email? Can we see it too?”“Well, he doesn’t mind as long as you don’t delete anything.”Moon Seoyeon and Nam Gyuhwan also approached the computer at Han Jinyeong’s words.And simultaneously, everyone’s eyes sparkled.They wondered what Han Jinyeong was so focused on.It wasn’t anything strange.As it was the label’s official email, there were many casting emails as usual, but what caught their eye was at the very top.“Well, it was about time for boss to go out.”“That’s right. Actually, it’s strange that they didn’t call him earlier.”“What? They didn’t call our boss? Not that he refused?”For some reason, it’s true that he should have gone on this program earlier. At least, don’t Korean singers go on this program even if they don’t appear on other variety shows?Of course, there’s a lot of controversy, and quite a few singers boycott it. Still, it was a good opportunity for rookies.“Should I go tell him?”“…You’re noisy, so I’ll go.”Nam Gyuhwan stepped up, hoping to listen to the album currently being worked on.Around that time, Halo was aware of the same news in a different way.He was sitting on the sofa in the mastering room, doing something else. Just to cool his head for a moment, something came to mind.“It really exists.”After searching the internet for about thirty minutes, he was about to give up as there were only stories about surfing.He discovered the name <Riding the Wave>.That name was the text on the gift given by people who came to see him at the airport besides reporters.Curious, he searched for it on the internet and finally found it.An internet cafe where Roh Haeil’s fans gathered.“I can’t believe such a thing exists.”The world has really improved. Saying something like an old person, he immediately pressed the join button.Unofficial fan cafes are usually divided into those with strict joining conditions and those without, and Roh Haeil’s fan cafe was the latter case.It seems to be aimed at accepting more members as the name Roh Haeil has recently started to become known to the public.Therefore, Halo joined easily and discovered that a surprisingly large number of people were gathered and chatting. Even now, new posts keep coming up.He always loved those who loved him.Who would dislike fans talking and chatting about him?Halo lay on the sofa and watched their conversations. Malicious comments had already been deleted by active members, so only praise and interest about him remained.Among them, there was a post that caught Halo’s eye. He couldn’t help but click on a post that came up every day with the same title.[Music show prayer +56 days]Slogans and goods all ready!!Now all that’s left is the music show…!I believe the moon will soon appear on some terrestrial channel…If news of appearing comes out, I’ll immediately do the Zero Two dance at the office└What did the office people do to deserve this;;;;└At this point, the moon might do it once out of fearHalo chuckled.There were several such posts, and the promises were different each time. He wasn’t sure what today’s promise – Zero Two – meant, but he thought it might be something like a punching bag.‘A music show, huh. It wouldn’t be bad to go on once.’He was thinking of going on radio or broadcast once to promote the new song anyway. Whatever form it took, he wanted to do something he hadn’t done before, and the music show they mentioned had been offered but not yet accepted.He leisurely wrote a comment while rolling around.Since everyone seemed upset about the lack of news, he thought of letting them know first.└ I’ll definitely go on once. See you then.And just as he was about to get back to work.“!”Several reply notifications sounded. A red bell was ringing in the upper right corner, and he couldn’t help but click it.He clicked the notification, expecting cheers from fans.└ What the hell is this bastard└ How many times have we seen Moon impersonators, report him└ Don’t make fun of desperate people and f**k off“…Huh?”This was unexpected.Halo was flustered for the first time and checked if he had really been reported.<You have been blocked from ‘Riding the Wave’>And soon he burst into laughter, dumbfounded at seeing the blocking message.Nam Gyuhwan, who had just entered the studio, was startled to see him.“Did you… go crazy while working on the album?”Not long after, an article appeared on the internet.[Riding the Wave] Breaking news!!! Moon appearing on music showSoon after, the wave brought by the article engulfed the cafe.Hi everyone, I've fully translated this series.

Chapter 82 - It Was Slightly Visible
“We’re leaving already even though we just got here. I don’t want to go. It was really fun.”Although they hadn’t set a long overseas schedule, it wasn’t a particularly short time either.However, following Haeil, who strangely navigated LA’s downtown with ease, and performing impromptu shows, before they knew it, the day to board the plane again had arrived.Everything felt like a daydream.The American broadcasting station, impromptu performances, and the luxurious five-star hotel in Beverly Hills. Even the LA cityscape that could be taken in at a glance.Soon the dazzling night view was hidden behind clouds.“Next time, let’s come on an official invitation. All of us.”“Who would we need an invitation from to stay at the hotel we were in?”“Hmm, well… The Grammys?”“Wow.”Nam Gyuhwan soullessly marveled at Han Jinyeong’s answer, which was both realistic and completely unrealistic.“Why? Our boss could win a Grammy.”“That’s a bit…”To begin with, the boy only sings songs in Korean.Realistically, forget the Grammys, even Billboard seemed difficult.“By the way, Haeil is sleeping well.”“Well, he had something keeping him from sleeping.”When Han Jinyeong looked puzzled, Nam Gyuhwan replied with a mischievous face.“The singer he met at Ever Since… What was her name? Anyway, they hugged tightly and even kissed when saying goodbye.”“Don’t be so provincial. It wasn’t a kiss, it was la bise.”
