At this point, it's just a story floating around below the surface.
That's because it's only been two days since we topped the music charts.
However, there were also signs that it was slowly trying to rise to the surface.
Drop Out and NOP's fandom firepower needs to be stronger.
Once they start talking about it in various communities, it quickly spreads to the public as well.
Then there is no way Choi Dae-ho can stay still.
They'll say it's right and plan something.
So they said that our flower garden was dangerous.
This is not the time to be happy and enjoy the sights and scents.
Actually, it was a bit of a funny situation.
Everyone does corrections, but I tend not to do them very often.
Because there are clear limits to correcting voices with machines.
If you can achieve the best singing ability with just correction, wouldn't it be okay to just select good-looking and pretty people and have them become studio singers?
And if that were to happen, I would have released albums indiscriminately when I was trying to reach 200 million copies as a producer.
All I have to do is take people who are attractive in appearance and pour out all the hit songs I know about them.
Because that doesn't work, the value of luxury vocalists goes up.
The billboard market is more sensitive to lip sync than the K-pop market.
If you don't have live skills, it's difficult to reach stardom.
You're invited to perform at halftime of the Super Bowl, but you can't ask if you can lip-sync, right?
The same goes for K-pop.
It was an industry that started out by recruiting pretty boys and girls, but now singing is important.
And it will become more important in the future.
As competition in the industry intensifies, people come to the conclusion that essence is more important than appearance.
And, we are confident in this fundamental battle.
I gave this song 70 points.
Stripping away the label of K-pop, a score of 70 is very high based on an honest evaluation.
Personally, I think Drop Out's Selfish is a bit higher than 50 points.
But the problem is... … .
"There is no way to prove this."
Choi Jae-seong raised his hand after understanding the agenda of today's meeting.
"There is a video of our recording live. Going into episode 2 of Jacon. "Can't we reveal that first?"
"It's the most common solution, but it's not a surefire solution."
Those who attack us don't really want to know the truth.
I just want to raise suspicion.
In that sense, all videos cannot avoid the suspicion of 'backsight correction'.
The same goes for turning on live streaming and singing.
Anyway, it is a live performance in a space prepared by us with the equipment we have set up.
You can claim that you played a track pretending to be live, or you can claim that you have a special setting on the microphone.
It can't possibly be like that, but what they need is suspicion.
At that time, Koo Tae-hwan opened his mouth.
"In my opinion, something like this should not be explained with the intention of explaining it. "People are less interested in explanations than you might think."
Koo Tae-hwan said something good.
That is correct.
You should not try to solve a problem by providing explanations for the sake of explanations.
The public doesn't like marketers trying to manipulate their thoughts, and it doesn't have much effect.
That's why advertising companies are crazy about symbols.
Just as a photo of an orange with a straw in it is more effective than an advertisement saying, 'Our orange juice is fresh.'
It is best if it can be explained naturally within other content or situations.
Actually, the best way is to appear on music broadcasts.
All you have to do is plug in a live broadcast there.
No one would claim that a music broadcasting station set up the microphone.
However, music broadcasting is different from music charts.
Music charts are operated by large corporations, and Ryan Entertainment's influence does not work.
Even if they were close, there was no way they could make such a crazy request to exclude 3dal101's music from the charts.
How much do you have to touch the algorithm to do that?
Regardless of technical issues, if you get caught, the company will go out of business.
As a result, our chart results were broadcast without filtering, but it was not a music broadcast.
Music rooms co-exist with large entertainment companies.
Large agencies may not always be the best, but if they go to the extreme, they can become the best.
If Ryan Entertainment declares a boycott of entertainment stations by all of its celebrities, the problem will increase.
It may never end up like that, but we are trying to accommodate each other so that it doesn't end up like that.
As a side note, this is the same reason why people who promote large entertainment companies appear in dramas and documentaries.
Large agencies and entertainment departments are on the same side, but drama departments and entertainment departments are rivals.
The culture bureau and news bureau are not interested in their conflict of influence... … .
"wait for a sec."
I think a good idea just crossed my mind.
I quickly gathered my thoughts.
What we want is to prove our skills, but we shouldn't try to explain ourselves.
Like a music broadcast, you have to naturally blend into specific content and prove your skills.
But there's no way the entertainment company closest to Ryan would let us appear… … .
Okay, this is it.
"I had a good idea. Worth a try."
"What?"
"first… … "I do busking."
Busking, street performance.
There is no better way to prove your skills, but the problem is that the impact is too weak.
If we busked all over Seoul, we wouldn't meet even a thousand people.
How many of them are passionate community users?
It is a foolish idea to try to create public opinion with these people.
but… … .
If only 'one type of content' is mixed here, the situation may change.
I think we can take pictures of issues that are simmering beneath the surface.
However, the members are just blinking.
"What's wrong with everyone?"
"This is my first time hearing about idols busking. It's not an entertainment program... … ."
"Is it dangerous?"
"Uh, I'm not sure. How famous are we? … ?"
Actually, I don't know much about this part.
Based on the billboard, we have accurate indicators.
At this level, you have gained a certain level of fame, and at this level, you have become a superstar.
But I don't know much about Korea.
Even if I try to think back to the For the Youth era, it feels like such a long time ago.
One thing is for sure: becoming famous on the streets and attracting people is much more difficult than you might think.
Luxury supporting movie stars who film 2-3 films a year also do not attract people on the streets.
This is not because of the person's age or appearance.
It's not that it doesn't have an impact, but the bigger reason is that it's unfamiliar.
Because of the nature of the job of an actor, there is a gap between the character in the movie and the person in real life.
So, even if you recognize them from afar, they just pass by and whisper.
This also applies to idols.
Idols also feel unfamiliar when their appearance on screen is different from their appearance in real life.
So when will this unfamiliarity be resolved?
It is a moment that is exposed to the public countless times.
Like a faucet that comes out when you turn it on.
When looking at a certain idol, some people may think of a scene from an advertisement, while others may think of a scene from an entertainment show.
Some people may think of the stage, others may think of everyday photo cuts.
When the public can look at something with their own preferred impression, people flock to it on the streets.
Doesn't the word idol mean idol?
This means that each person idolizes themselves in their own way.
Of course, fandom is an exception to this story.
They are grateful people who have let go of any unfamiliarity long ago through the process of becoming a fan.
Anyway, in this sense, we didn't have that level of popularity.
It's the same when I go to and from LB Studio right now.
People around us recognized us, but not many people came up to us and asked for autographs or photos.
About two or three out of 10?
For men, the ratio falls a little more, and for women, the ratio rises.
"I think it'll be okay. "But just in case, let's hire one or two plainclothes bodyguards."
"Are you that serious about it? How many days are you going to do it?"
"I think it will take at least 3 days, and at most a week."
"why? "What are you trying to achieve?"
When I explained the plan I had in mind, the members looked puzzled.
"Regardless of whether it's a good plan or not, is it possible?"
"You have to try."
"Do you know where the place is? "You have to know the place to do it."
"I can understand. "I have great helpers."
"who? CEO Hyunseok Lee? Or that lawyer?"
Neither.
My helper is money.

Video can only be taken after reaching the desired point.
So we headed to Hongdae.
The place where we will conduct our first busking is Hongdae Busking Street, where many buskers gather together.
There is a very high probability that this is not the point I wanted, but it was a place for preliminary work.
To declare that Sedalbaekil will proceed with busking.
But something unexpected happened there.
"Waaah!"
"It's three months and one hundred days!"
As each person was carrying their assigned equipment and trying to install it, people on the street began to gather.
And without even having to do anything about it.
"… … ?"
As I make a puzzled expression, Onsaemiro looks at me like I'm an idiot.
"why?"
"You really didn't know it would end up like this?"
"hmm… … ."
I didn't know, but for some reason, it hurts my pride to admit it.
If Koo Tae-hwan, who is quick-witted, Choi Jae-seong, who has good social sense, or Lee Ion, who is legally older than me, had asked me, I would have nodded.
But Onsaemi-ro gives me that kind of look?
3 months and 100 days official jjintta theme.
"The reception was stronger than I expected, but it was something I kept in mind."
Then the members who were responding to the fans sighed at the same time.
what.
Everyone seems to know that I'm lying.
The doubt was resolved when fans were asked for their understanding and everyone installed the speakers together.
"When my brother tells a lie, the beginning is long."
"I?"
"And we always lay the groundwork. "The welcome was stronger than I expected, something like that."
It is unfair.
This is because of English grammar.
I still dream in English, and I like to say it this way when I give reasons in English.
It's real.
But there was no time to say more.
Because beat speakers, microphone speakers, and portable turntables were installed.
There are so many people surrounding us.
I think it's about 150 people.
Even though it's Hongdae, I never imagined there would be this many people on a weekday.
Of course, that doesn't mean we've truly achieved stardom.
If Drop Out showed up here, the streets would be paralyzed.
But what… … .
We are better at music.
"hello! "It's three months and one hundred days!"
I said hello and played some beats.
People erupt in cheers.
Because this beat is currently #1 on the charts.
Our first song is Resume.
