Chapter 328
At first, it was a healing...... dimension, but in the end, it was a unity team that consumed as much energy as we had.
But it was okay because we had fun together.
"I'm realizing the value of the civilized world again..........."
Heo Yu-bin, who headed to the sofa as soon as he returned to the dorm, collapsed on the sofa.
I watched him rubbing his cheek against the cushion and snickered.
"Did you miss the sofa that much?"
"Sleeping in a tent was fun, but my back still hurt."
"I agree with that."
Kang Si-yoon stretched out his body as he lay down next to Heo Yu-bin.
"Softness is the best.........."
"I admit it...."
How can you hear the sound of old men coming to a bathhouse from guys in their early 20s?
When I was shaking my head as if I couldn't stop them, Song Hyung-bin clapped his hands.
"The two of you lying there? Hurry up and clean up your stuff."
"I'll lie down for a bit and clean up."
"It's too comfortable right now.........."
"Don't block the entrance and quickly clean up your bags, you guys!"
When Kang Si-yoon and Heo Yu-bin still didn't show any signs of moving, Song Hyung-bin quickly approached and made a show of force.
"Ah! Ah! Got it, got it! I'll clean up!"
"Clean up and wash up quickly. Didn't you hear that there's a meeting later?"
"The meeting is in the evening! Just sleep a little and wash up-."
"Hurry up. Get up. Clean up and wash up!"
After getting spanked several times, Kang Si-yoon and Heo Yu-bin moved their bags and went to the bathroom to wash up.
As Song Hyung-bin said, the manager hyung said in the car earlier that there would be a meeting later in the afternoon.
The topic was naturally about our next comeback.
Since this is a full-length first album that the members and the agency are preparing with all their heart, there are bound to be a lot of things to take care of.
'Even Heo Yu-bin, who acts like a spoiled brat and sullen, is working hard on composing every day until late at night.'
Following the last
Heo Yu-bin's name is on a total of 6 songs, including
He even participated in writing the lyrics for this title song, so I could feel Heo Yu-bin's talent growing day by day.
I went to the kitchen and took out some yogurt and thought to myself,
'It won't be about Heo Yu-bin's composing.'
I wondered what they would talk about during the meeting.
Will they show us how far the title song has come?
Has the detailed comeback schedule been decided?
Or will something completely new appear?
The members dispersed to their respective rooms to rest.
It seems that everyone was lacking sleep overall as they slept while fighting in the tent.
I also woke up at 6am, so I was a little tired, but I didn't feel like sleeping.
It seems I wasn't the only one who felt this way.
"Hey, hyung-nim! What are you doing instead of sleeping?"
"I was hungry, so I was eating yogurt."
"I ate a few by myself."
Yoo Minha, who had just finished showering and was feeling fluffy, energetically stormed into the kitchen.
"Oh, that's right, hyung-nim! If you have nothing to do, do you want to watch some anime with me?"
"Suddenly?"
"Yes! The day before leaving for the group meeting, I found something that seemed really fun."
Yoo Minha twitched the corners of his mouth and pushed his face in.
The fragrant smell of shampoo and lotion tickled my nose.
"If you don't see this, you won't be able to be called an otaku."
"I'll just listen to what it's about."
"This is a really famous original boy's manga! It's about a main character who travels around the world to gather allies in order to cut off the thread of revenge entangled in his family."
I looked at Yoo Min-ha, who was explaining the plot of the animation in a very excited tone, with blurry eyes.
I knew this would happen, so I didn't really want to ask.
But I couldn't help it because I knew he would be disappointed if I didn't ask.
"......... Anyway, it's really action-packed and fun! So let's watch it together, hyung."
"...If I don't watch it, will you keep selling until I do?"
"Of course!"
"Okay. I'll watch it together, so save me."
"Oh, yeah!"
That's how I watched the animation until 5 p.m., lying in the living room with Yoo Min-ha, I was forced to watch it.
At first, I didn't really feel like it, but it was definitely fun, so I was able to immerse myself in it.
Soon, it was 6 o'clock, and the meeting that I had been waiting for with curiosity went relatively normally, contrary to my expectations.
"The overall atmosphere is going to be like this. I heard that our Yubin-kun was getting complimented on the lyrics he wrote."
"I really worked hard on it!"
I looked at the planning manager who was talking about what I had expected in my head.
Really, did you call us to talk about the progress of the title song?
No. Somehow, my intuition tells me that you didn't call us today to talk about such ordinary things.
'I have no idea what that is........'
The comeback date has been confirmed.
Seleste's first full-length album will be released on September 28th.
The planning manager explained that the preparation period was longer than originally planned because there will be a total of 10 songs.
'Since we released two albums at a rapid pace last year, the gap between
Next, there was a time to explain the concept of this album in detail.
The key words were youth, nostalgia, and power.
At first glance, it was a combination of words that didn't make any sense, but after hearing the detailed explanation, I understood what kind of stage Sigma Entertainment had drawn.
"I think the youth and nostalgia that the public is familiar with are mostly accompanied by a sad atmosphere, lyrical choreography, and melodies. So we will try to break away from that atmosphere."
In other words, the main message contained in the lyrics is the vagueness of endlessly moving toward a love that cannot be met, and the melody, choreography, and stage atmosphere will be designed to feel a powerful energy that contrasts with it.
They said that they are planning choreography that is refreshing to watch for the best in history to bring out Seleste's characteristics very well.
"There will be more choreography where all members move together than before..."
"We really need to practice a lot."
In order to produce a splendid stage direction, the choreography that is visually conveyed must be perfectly mastered.
Ji Yoon-chul, Kang Si-yoon, and Song Hyung-bin were already thinking about how they would direct the members in the future after returning to their main jobs after a long time.
Heo Yu-bin, who saw their passionate appearance, laughed and expressed a little anxiety.
"I don't think my body will be able to handle it...?"
"Isn't it time for you to adapt, Yu-bin?"
"Even if you say that, he follows along well now. I raised him strong."
Kang Si-yoon smiled while clicking his index finger at Song Hyung-bin's words.
"You can follow along, right?"
"...I'll try."
I listened to the continued concept explanation, but on the other hand, I tilted my head slightly.
Well. Isn't it time for something special to come out now?
Or maybe my intuition just wasn't right this time?
The planning department head, who was busy explaining and gathering opinions about the regular album, immediately frowned.
I immediately noticed his posture and glared.
I've known the planning department head for over a year, so I can understand his gestures.
Frowning like that is a sign that he's going to talk about something important.
"I think we've given you a general explanation, and I have something valuable to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Is there anything we need to prepare separately...?"
"We don't have the details yet, but I thought it would be good to let you know in advance."
The planning department head continued to arouse our curiosity.
"Isn't this first full-length album comeback very important and meaningful?"
"Yes!"
"So the company is also starting various preparations. For example, the Japan tour that was a huge success this time."
Our Japan arena tour that had sold out consecutively.
It was a schedule where we could once again feel the power of Seleste, which is popular not only in Korea but also around the world.
Chae Eun-gyu raised his hand with a look of hope.
"So, are we going to Japan again?"
"A Japan tour is an option worth considering, but what we are thinking is a little different. We are planning to promote Seleste's overseas expansion, but the location is not Japan."
As soon as the planning manager finished speaking, I instinctively felt a strange feeling.
It was as if I knew what he was going to say.
I felt that what I had thought was impossible until now could really become a reality.
"This time, we are planning to expand our horizons and advance to the West. The United States, and if possible, even Europe."
"The United States?"
The members seemed a little overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of the word America.
The place where all the things we all yearn for are gathered.
The United States, where only the best artists are allowed to Billboard.
All the members were surprised to hear that they could advance there.
However, there was only one person. Only one person was obsessed with a different topic. Like me.
"Wait a minute. Even Europe is possible...?"
"Haha, I thought Siyoon kun would be the first to react."
"...Really? Is that really possible?"
The planning manager laughed heartily after hearing Kang Siyoon's words. My hunch gradually turned into certainty.
"Do you remember when we first did
"In the classroom set? Changmin hyung came in as a teacher."
"That's right! We all wore school uniforms and spoke informally to each other."
"That's right. And we each wrote down a bucket list and submitted it."
"That's it."
Content where all seven members experience and enjoy the bucket list of the members together.
The most representative example is 'School Trip' written by Ji Yoon-chul.
I happened to meet Kang Si-yoon's eyes.
It was clear that we were both thinking the same thing.
"Si-yoon kun, do you remember what the bucket list that you wrote back then?"
"....."
Kang Si-yoon's eyes looked really dumbfounded.
"...I wrote that I wanted to visit Karis' hometown together. No, but I wrote that without thinking about it because I thought it would be fun.
" I definitely said this back then. No matter how long it takes, I will do my best to fulfill your wishes."
Now everyone in the conference room noticed where the conversation was going.
Song Hyung-bin, Chae Eun-gyu, and Ji Yoon-chul opened their eyes wide like Kang Si-yoon and didn't say anything.
Heo Yu-bin and Yoo Min-ha started shaking their whole bodies with sparkling eyes.
And I....
I could only listen to the planning director proudly explaining our future plans while being silent.
"If possible, I plan to include Estonia as one of the locations for the European tour. It will allow us to realize the true meaning of the European tour, and at the same time, it will also fulfill Siyoon kun's bucket list."
I felt the six members' eyes fixed on me.
At this moment, this was the only word that came to my mind.
'How can this become reality...........'
