Joshi Entertainment.
At one point, when people mentioned Sunfish agency, they said, "Oh!" To the extent that it can be said, Sunfish's force in its heyday was enough to threaten the top girl group at the time.
They must have made a lot of money at the time, so why were the facilities like that?
The more I think about it, the more it seems like a sloppy company.
There is no official website.
Usually, if the site is of a certain size, there will be a website with artist photos, but Joshi Entertainment didn't have anything like that.
Actually, it doesn't mean anything.
Anyway, Joshi Entertainment is one of the entertainment companies that is doing well both then and now.
🎶"I'll show you the dance moves I prepared for you."🎶
🎶"Follow me honey🎶
A girl group song with a lot of electronic beats played on the radio.
After the bridge part, the familiar chorus tickled my ears happily.
🎶"Baby Lalala Baby Lalala..."🎶
Gary hums a song and bobs his head around.
This song, which other members are also singing along to, was
The singer is Girls On Top.
Joshi Entertainment was their agency.
"Girls On Top is really hot. Isn't this still number one?"
"It's probably right."
"No. They won first place on a music show once in the first week and that was it."
"okay?"
"Bliss made a comeback in the second week. Girls On Top would have been in second place the entire time."
Girls on top.
A popular 4-year-old girl group.
This group just come out 4 years ago.
The group is famous among the general public for its performances in entertainment shows and dramas, and is famous in the industry for its good singing.
A strong music line following the company's senior Sunfish.
Although their debut album was a huge flop, they are a girl group whose popularity is such that all of their title songs since then have entered the top 10 on the charts.
The only downside is that the songs all have similar vibes?
Girls On Top was a successful group with second-tier marketing.
A strategy to solidify the image as second place rather than aiming for first place.
Thanks to this strategy, Girls On Top reached the public as a friendly second-place girl group even while the first place position continued to change.
Until Bliss showed up the following year.
Since the emergence of Bliss, a new girl group sent out by director Jack Reed in 2012, there has been an atmosphere of being gradually pushed out of the second place position.
...And since then, There position in entertainment shows is also shrinking.
However, it is clear that they are still a popular girl group.
"If you think about it, Joshi Entertainment has an amazing lineup of girl groups, really."
"It probably feeds the company."
"I guess so."
"But wasn't Sunfish even better? It was amazing when I was in elementary school."
People born in the 90s who shared the same memories nodded.
SunFish.
It was once so popular that it was called the best in its heyday, but its splendid glory was short-lived.
It was because of the members' controversy.
One of them got caught by the police while smoking weed with her boyfriend, I guess.
It was an extremely shocking incident at the time.
The most popular member of a girl group who had only sung well on music shows until the day before appeared on the social section of the newspaper the next day.
SunFish, who tried to continue their activities by expelling the member in question, soon had their lifeline completely cut off when news was reported that another member was having an affair with a movie director.
A group of 5.
Lilly Watson was one of the three remaining.
She is truly a great person.
It took quite a long time for Lilly Watson, who fell from a popular singer to an instant, to make a comeback.
The path of a singer-songwriter.
Lilly Watson, who utilized her composing ability, succeeded in building a new image by taking advantage of the fact that she was an unpopular member with low recognition.
And now she was the most popular member among the five.
Participating in drama OSTs and releasing single albums.
Unfortunately, there has been no song that could be called a hit yet.
The average score for songs such as
Of course, for those of us who haven't even debuted, it was an incredible achievement.
"What happened to the other Sunfish members?"
"I don't know anyone other than Lilly Watson."
"I heard that senior Sanjana is quitting music and going to school. Lisa is living as a musical actor."
"Everyone is doing well."
"Then what about the other two?"
"I don't know. I guess they are not living well."
The topic of conversation moved to another direction.
Perhaps because of their status as trainees in the entertainment industry, there seemed to be quite a few rumors they had heard.
I frowned as I watched the guys trying to slow the mystery behind the Sunfish group.
What are you talking about?
It was uncomfortable because it felt like the entertainment reporters on TV were gossiping about people like 'Mr. A' and 'Mr. B.'
And it seems I wasn't the only one who thought that.
Raju Shah's squinting eyes seen through the rearview mirror.
Aren't they going to get scolded for doing this?
But before I could say anything, Raju struck.
"Guys."
The cold air freezes at the harsh voice.
The four trainees who were chatting in the backseat opened their eyes.
It was because he looked angry differently than usual.
"What are you doing now?"
The members stiffened like stones at the manager's harsh gaze.
"I asked you."
It was like the calm before the storm.
"What are you doing now?"
"…"
"You're not going to answer?"
"… We were talking, Director."
Gary said while looking closely, while Raju looked at the guys in silence.
Chilly silence.
I, sitting in the passenger seat, was also nervous.
"…"
The drive continued in silence for a while.
It was silence, as if telling you to think about what you did wrong.
Unlike the Avi and Samuel, who didn't notice, Sunny sighed, and Gary made an 'oops' expression.
After about 5 minutes, Raju Shah spoke calmly.
"Guys."
Fortunately, it was a calm tone of voice.
"I like it when you guys gossip about the entertainment industry. This can be happen."
"…"
"But isn't this something you should only talk about between you?"
"sorry."
"It doesn't look good to me, so what do other people think?"
He shook his head.
"It doesn't matter as long as I'm the only one here. No matter what mistakes you make, I won't reveal them. But you're not going to debut? I'll be getting a road manager or coordinator soon, so I wonder if it'll still be like this then."
At this point, Samuel and Avi also made 'oops' expressions.
"Being a road manager is really hard, guys. When celebrities earn 100,000$ every week, they only have to earn 1000$ a month. It is also common for people to change jobs just for an extra 1,000$ . Do you think people like that won't repeat what you said if they go somewhere else?"
Raju said with emphasis.
"The entertainment industry is small, guys."
"…"
"It's because you haven't experienced it yet. The entertainment industry is where something you say briefly in the car gets circulated throughout the filming set the next day."
Director Raju looked around at those who were nodding and looked at Avi.
"And Avi."
"… … yes?"
Avi who shrugged his shoulders for fear of being scolded.
"You know what the you said earlier was also careless, right?"
"I'm sorry. I will be careful from next time."
"You keep being young, but be careful. okay?"
Avi nodded at Raju's emphasis on speaking through the brain.
Depending on the person, someone might feel bad when he was scolded, but we all understood his calm tone.
It had to be that way.
I wasn't saying this with emotion, but I was telling you that you made a mistake in this regard and that you should be more careful in this way in the future.
It was a manager-like action.
Unlike fans who embrace each other with love no matter what, a manager must tell the singer what to say from an objective
standpoint.
"And Raj."
"Yes, manager."
It's coming.
"You know what your biggest mistake was, right?"
"sorry."
"Your group members are still young and may not know much. However, You are in this line of work for many years, you know what problematic remarks are. If this kind of situation arises, you will have to take action in the future. okay?"
I wanted to say that I meant to do that originally, but I accepted it because it was my fault.
That's why he bowed his head and said.
"I'm sorry, Chief."
"Please take care of them, Raj."
Raju's eyes look more depressed than usual as he looks out the car window.
"I can't always be by your side."
