Damn Idol Episode 62
* * *
At this point, NT had three plans.
One, Way From Flowers' video supporting Han Sion.
Second, release the music.
Third, an interview with the arranger.
Of course, there were also plans to try to recruit Han Si-on or to negotiate appropriately with M Show.
But this was a plan for the future, and those three things were urgent right now.
As a result, NT was only able to succeed with one of the three plans.
That's right, it was a music release.
M Show gave OK without much hesitation. Because it happened to be a place they also had an itch for.
And then they said something meaningful.
"You will quickly realize that it was a good choice."
It seemed like M Show had already prepared an interview with Chris Edwards.
Han Sion's cheering video was rejected by Way From Flower.
"Are you saying this knowing how the fans feel? Chris Edwards or whatever, we can't do it."
There's no way fans would feel good if Way From Flowers filmed a video cheering for Han Sion.
'We're angry, but actually you don't feel bad?' Because it's like conveying a message like that.
The leader strongly opposed, and the statement gained weight because there were only two years left until the contract was renewed.
Lastly, how did the interview with the arranger go? ... .
"Balance QQ? This YouTuber is the arranger of Flowers Bloom?"
"Yes. That's right. It looks like he changed his activity name midway."
"Huh, really. There was no need for us to have an interview, right? How many videos has he uploaded?"
"I think all we need to do is to secretly let the media know that this guy is the arranger."
"It's a jackpot."
There was no need to conduct interviews.
After the behind-the-scenes work was completed, Han Sion's version of Flowers Bloom was released.
Originally, remakes should display the original song title as is, but in this case, NT made the concession.
Copyright fees are paid regardless of the title, so why bother raising Way From Flower's sore fingers?
As a result.

Han Sion's Falling Flowers showed off its spirit by ranking first on the 24-hour chart right after its release.
For reference, <Under the Street Lights> was still ranked in 4th place.
And finally, the truth was revealed.
<[Exclusive] The composer of the original version of Flowers Bloom is revealed to be Chris Edwards>
<Billboard No. 1 composer Chris Edwards confirmed to appear on Coming Up Next>
<The reason for Chris Edward's appearance was, "I happened to see an interview with Han Sion and got goosebumps. "He was talking about a song of mine that had never been known to the world.">
<[Exclusive] Flowers Bloom arranger revealed to be famous YouTuber 'Balance QQ'>
The world has turned upside down.

-No, what Han Si-on said was right? There is an original song by Flowers Bloom? Even Chris Edwards composed it?
-Of course it's a fucking lie. Do you think this makes sense?
-Where is the part where the lie is?
-They hired a famous composer to work on his image, right?
-What kind of presidential candidate is Han Sion? Invite Chris Edwards to create image?
-I don't think it's even a presidential candidate Lol
-(Information) Chris Edwards has three Billboard #1 songs and won the Best Film Score Award as the music director for the 10 million movie.
-No, Han Si-on is really awesome (slang). I guess he was a real genius.
-(This is a comment that has already made me sick of my pants)
-Wow, Chris Edward didn't appear on TV even when the movie was a hit lol I guess he was really surprised.
-They'll explain it in detail in Coming Up Next, right? I'm really curious.
-The funniest thing is that they started taking down the video of the Rekkas (yellow journalism especially Youtubers) who were criticizing Han Si-on haha.
-Isn't BalQ a ㅂㅅ (retard/idiot)? I was wondering why he was clenching his teeth, but it turned out that the incompetent arranger was him haha.
-Ha, I'm getting heated. They gave WFF such an incompetent arranger.
-Kkotdeoks' attack direction changes??
-I don't need all that and I'm so happy that the music has been released. I feel like I can listen to it all year round.
-Me who cursed Han Si-on. I reflect.
- Upon reflection, you're in the top 1%. Everyone is having a mental victory because they were incited by some crazy YouTubers.
-Well, it wasn't just BalQ, most of the time it was an atmosphere of criticizing Han Sion.
-The few channels that defended Han Sion are in visible rise haha.
-(Address) Have you guys seen this? LOL It was an internet broadcast yesterday LOL.
-Who is this guy?
* * *
-Keung.
The middle-aged man on the screen puts pork belly in his mouth and gulps down soju.
Although it was delicious, it was very lacking to be considered a professional mukbang YouTuber.
At that time, the man got to the point in a slightly drunken voice.
-People cursed at me. Stop helping Han Sion's genius cosplay. I know you arranged it, so please reveal it quickly. But do you know what I was really sad about?
-Oh, this is Lee Hyun-seok. You know that. A composer who was rumored to be Han Si-on's associate. Toothbrush. I made the toothbrush.
-How much did I say? Ah, how sad it was.
The man drank soju again.
-I retired because I wasn't as good as Sion. I can't keep up with music these days, so I retired, build a recording studio, and making a living helping kids who make indie music.
- To put it bluntly, I've been close with Jo Ki-jeong for 10 years, right? If I could, I would have remixed under the streetlight a long time ago. Why would I wait 10 years?
-And falling flowers? I cried when I heard that. I really wanted it to become Korea's oasis... ... . It's that emotion. It's crazy.
-Niece, who gave you the money? Don? What is Don? Ah, donations. Oh my, thank you. So you pay money to ask this is question?
-How did you get to know Han Si-on? Okay, good question. You have a good level. I wanted to talk about that too.
-When was that... ... ? About three months ago? Someone rented a studio for 60 hours. At that time I... ... .
Lee Hyun-seok, who knew that it was an Internet broadcast without much thought at his niece's recommendation, realized.
The world has really changed a lot.
We had pork belly, drank soju, and talked a bit... ... .
"What is this!"
He earned a month's worth of income.
He didn't know it, but the fans who fell in love with Han Sion said Lee Hyun-seok was 'our uncle' who led Han Sion to the light.
But the uncle tells a story related to Han Si-on?
They can't stand it.
Lee Hyun-seok, who received numerous requests (including donations) to broadcast again tomorrow, was no slouch.
He sent a text message to Han Sion saying, 'I've made money thanks to you, so get half of it', but he was cool with it.
He received a reply saying that, 'You can have all of it, senior, so please tell a lot of good things so that many people can see it.'
Han Si-on, who seemed calm so far.
In fact, he was a warm child.
-Yesterday, I received permission from Sion via text message. Oh my, thank you for donating 10,000 won. I will put it to good use!
-Is there a video of Sion playing a guitar riff the day I first saw him?
-Let me show you that. Sion said it didn't matter. It's not a performance of a completed song, but the feel is really crazy. It's a monster, a monster.
-Ah, after watching the video, I will explain the story of Balance QQ. That kid is an idiot. In the past, when he was playing the drums, he used to drink a lot, so he got cut off by everyone around. Oh my, 10,000 won donation... ... ? One hundred thousand won?!

I always get angry when I have to go through a new regression, but there is one good thing.
That is, returning to the fresh body of a 20-year-old.
I usually live into my late 20s or early 30s, but that's not always the case.
The longest I lived was probably 42.
When you're in your 30s, your physical condition doesn't change much as long as you take good care of it, but it's really different in your 40s.
No matter what I do, it's different from when I was in my 20s.
Because of that memory, when I return to being 20 years old, I feel like my body is full of vitality... ... .
"Hey, hey!"
I'm really tired.
Because of Eddie.
"Why."
"I saw that video. Lee-Hyun-Seok? That's how you pronounce it, right?"
He's even watching CEO Lee Hyun-seok's personal broadcast, as if he didn't have any schedules in Korea.
No, but how did you watch the broadcast if you couldn't even speak Korean?
"I used an interpreter."
"... ... You asked a simultaneous interpreter to do that?"
"Yeah."
I was at a loss for words.
Yes, I lost.
"That guitar riff, it was in the song you played last time, right?"
"That's right."
"So, did you make the songs you played back then at once? In Lee-Hyun-Seok's studio?"
"The composition was already done. I just went and recorded it."
"How about leaving the arrangement of that song to me?"
The song Eddie is talking about is <The Crooks>.
My recurring habit.
This is my first self-composed song, reminiscing about my past life.
If Eddie had asked me for another song, I would have shook my head.
Because the consignment sales had already been entrusted to team leader Seo Seung-hyeon.
However, <The Crooks> is an exception.
I didn't plan on what to do with that song, but I didn't want to spread it around the K-pop industry as just one of those common songs.
I am a cold-hearted person, and I am willing to abandon my friends to achieve my goals.
Nevertheless, GOTM was a special team even in my long career.
"You have to arrange my song for the mission, right? In the meantime, I will arrange your songs. Isn't that fair?"
The process is a mess.
Still, I don't think it's bad.
Because Eddie's skills are trustworthy.
After thinking for a moment, I nodded.
"Good. Instead, there are conditions."
"What?"
"You can decide the vocals and lyrics however you want. Or you can leave it to HR."
"Does this mean there won't be a session? Oh, I see there's a player you want?"
"No, there are people I want to pick first. If their skills are below par or they refuse, do whatever you want."
"Oh, good. It means that it is a song made while thinking of someone. Something more interesting?"
Eddie seems like he wants to find out the true nature of my talent, but that's okay.
This is impossible unless you know that I am a regressor.
And I have never once said that I am a regressor.
The only time in my last life was when I left behind a cassette tape right before my regression.
Well, that too will be found after I disappear.
"I'll send you the song and the information about where and what they're doing right now. They are all amateur musicians."
"Did you meet while on a trip to America?"
"If you ask me more, I won't let you arrange it."
"Okay, okay. By the way, is the arrangement work going well?"
"It's going well."
This mission is a team battle to arrange 'Chris Edward's famous song'.
It was an unplanned mission, but from Coming Up Next's perspective, it was something worth proceeding with unconditionally.
The Billboard No. 1 composer willingly gave the rights to use his song and said he would appear on broadcasts, so why would they refuse?
And this is too easy for me.
Because it's something I've already done when I lived with Eddie.
When I was learning composition from Eddie, Eddie always gave me his own songs and asked me to arrange them.
Maybe it's a method Eddie uses when he wants to check someone's talent.
"It's so strange."
"what?"
"I'm not really this kind of person, but I want to become friends with you. Oh, I'm telling you this in case you misunderstand, but I'm not gay."
"I thought so."
"why?"
"For some reason, I think you were upset because your girlfriend of about 6 years dumped you for not having a vision for the future."
"... ... Does it show?"
"Is it really true?"
"......."
Since I said this knowing everything, I hope you don't make that face and just leave.
