#KK (2)
And that time. A series of key figures were summoned to the office of the president of broadcasting station TBN.
The head of the entertainment and music channel and the PD of TBN’s public music broadcast program ‘Music Counter’ were seated one after another, and there were also PDs of other music broadcast programs.
Recently, KK’s guerrilla performance in collaboration with the me app achieved tremendous results, and the broadcasting company’s music program managers were in a state of extreme tension.
The comeback of KK, who was originally a top idol in Korea and even won the Billboard Rookie Award, was one of the biggest issues in the music industry this year.
When KK made a comeback and declared that she would not do any music broadcasts, those in charge of music broadcast programs could not help but feel dizzy.
Of course, behind KK’s decision, there was the convenience of music broadcasting program officials with whom he had formed a close relationship for a long time at a large agency, but in the beginning, people cannot see their own dust and only criticize others’ dust.
They came back from Billboard and said that they thought it was their world, so they said things like let’s see if it goes well without appearing on TV.
But it really was KK’s world.
Even though KK did not appear on TV and did not receive any special broadcast scores, she achieved first place on the weekly music broadcast program that made her comeback.
Because it was such an unrivaled first-place result, we had no choice but to give it first place.
On the screen, instead of KK, music show MCs were shown congratulating KK on several occasions.
The success of the first performance was not something to just look at.
There were also hard-line broadcasters who said they would not give first place if the singer did not appear in a hurry and were preparing to give first place to another singer next week.
It was the distorted pride of a broadcasting company that had been in a superior position until now. Of course, those broadcasters had a closer relationship with large entertainment companies.
However, most broadcasting companies reprimanded those involved in music broadcasting programs.
Even though their collusion extended to the upper echelons of the broadcasting company, only the working-level staff were dying.
The producer of ‘Music Counter’, whose ratings had fallen, came here expecting to be reprimanded, so this place felt like a thorn in the side.
“How much time is left until the broadcast?”
The TBN president asked his secretary.
“Ten minutes left.”
When the secretary answered, the boss nodded and said.
The TBN president was planning to watch KK’s second performance, which will be broadcast live on KK’s me app, along with those gathered today.
“Even though we claim to be a channel specializing in music, we must really reflect on the fact that we were not able to plan a portal site called Friends.”
Hearing the president’s words, the ‘Music Counter’ PD closed his eyes tightly. The head of the entertainment and music channel also sighed softly.
“How many times have I told you about new content? That’s it. That one. That’s new content. Is it just new? Look at the profitability.”
The TBN president paused for a moment
. In fact, TBN was a broadcasting company that maintained a good relationship with KK and Hit Entertainment. Of course, like other broadcasting companies, large entertainment companies such as Ara Entertainment had to worry about this before. This was all the more inevitable because it was a cable broadcasting company.
However, as KK grew after receiving investment from Taehwa, who is also an investor in Hit Entertainment, TBN strategically worked to improve its relationship with Hit Entertainment.
This was a situation that occurred in the midst of such a situation.
From TBN’s perspective, it was quite unfair to be tied up with another broadcasting company that had continued the practice of working with large broadcasting companies.
But anyway, TBN and Hit Entertainment were still actively discussing Park Tae-hyung’s appearance on
Rather, the TBN president’s idea was to use this time as an opportunity.
Since it is a cable broadcasting company, it was calculated that it would be an opportunity to relieve its own resentment of being treated worse than terrestrial music broadcasting by large entertainment companies.
“It already happened. I won’t talk too much. Let’s watch the live broadcast together today and think about the directions that Music Counter and other music broadcasting programs should take in the future.”
“yes. president.”
When the head of the entertainment and music channel responded, the president looked at the head and said,
“After seeing the response to this performance, let’s contact Hit Entertainment again.”
“yes. “We are talking about many things right now.”
“is it so.”
Soon, KK’s Saryangdo performance was broadcast live.
There was a huge crowd of people and an unexpected picture that could not have been imagined as Saryangdo Island in Tongyeong. It was refreshing and even touching in some ways.
It was obvious that the response to today’s performance would also be the best.
There was quite a bit of tension in the audiovisual room watching the live broadcast.
***
Like the stars in the night sky,
We are all connected―
connected― connected― We are all―
Although the wind was so strong that it was impossible to see in front of them as their faces were covered by their hair, the KK members performed on stage with all their passion and passion.
The excitement of the audience enjoying the stage never seemed to cool down.
“oh my god! Ugh, am I dreaming now? “Pinch me.”
“uh? “Pinch me?”
“Ahh! Just a little pinch!”
“Hey Dowook. Do-wook oppa center!”
Compared to the seniors clapping next to them, the life of 18 was too short, but despite this, the Tongyeong girls knew that this moment was an unforgettable memory in their lives.
“Kyaaa -ah!”
A student who was Do-wook’s fan, not knowing that his pinched cheek was red and swollen, screamed at Do-wook who came to the front of the stage.
After Dowook’s part, it was time for the interlude to begin.
Pot!
The wind, which seemed to be calming down, blew once again, causing a problem with the sound equipment. All the sounds that had been pounding my eardrums had disappeared.
“uh?”
“uh!”
The audience that was cheering formed a large group, and the members who were performing the next choreography couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
There was a moment of silence in Saryangdo Island, which was noisy as if it was about to leave.
Those watching the live broadcast were also taken aback by the sudden music cutoff and realized that a broadcasting accident had occurred.
There was no problem during the broadcasting process, but rather a problem with the stage itself. The staff was in an uproar. The song was continuously playing on the connected computer, but there was no sound, so the sound engineer rushed to the speaker to quickly determine the cause.
The sound manager, who was trying to wirelessly tell people to stop playing music for a moment while checking the speakers, was even more embarrassed when he saw what was on stage.
Since the song was cut off, the choreography could no longer be performed. I thought the members were blankly waiting for the song to start again.
The members were performing the next choreography precisely to their own beat, with only the unaccompanied sound of the wind being heard.
There was no microphone sound and it was not even possible to sing separately because it was interlude.
Nevertheless, the movements of the six members were exactly the same, starting with Dowook in the middle.
It seemed like all I had to do was add an interlude on top.
Among those looking at the screen, some checked several times to see if their cell phone and computer speakers were faulty.
The audience, which had been surprised by the sudden silence, was already responding to KK’s movements.
The sound manager who confirmed the problem quickly replaced the speaker terminals.
‘Connection’ was playing continuously on the computer, so the song started playing immediately after I replaced the connector.
This was the point where Seok Ji-hoon’s part began again after the interlude ended.
“When you think you are alone, look back!”
Seok Ji-hoon continued singing live in a refreshing manner.
Even though the choreography was done without accompaniment, the members’ beats were accurate. Even if I covered my ears and eyes, I felt like I would put on a perfect performance.
“Kyaaa -ah —”
“Wow!”
“Amazing….”
“My little son is so naughty!”
Anyone who was watching the stage. It was such a skill that even the people in charge of the performance had no choice but to open their mouths.
Only Manager Oh Baek-ho, who was watching KK from the back of the audience, was not surprised.
I’m busy, I don’t have time… Those words were just excuses for the KK members.
Although the album was prepared in a short period of time while promoting in the US, the members practiced while splitting their time.
The amount of practice has increased, not decreased, compared to when I debuted. With the added skill, the synergy was bound to be explosive.
The reason they were able to present a perfect performance under any circumstances was because of the sweat shed by the members.
After two songs, while KK came off the stage and changed her costume, a guest MC appeared and captivated the audience with a brilliant comment.
Originally, the members would form teams of three and give comments while the other team changed clothes, but today’s performance had a special MC.
It was Kang Cheon-ho, the national MC. He arrived just before the performance and prepared for this time.
It was Seok Ji-hoon who suggested calling him. It was easy to predict the age group of the Tongyeong performance. That’s why they invited Kang Cheon-ho, a national MC, as a surprise gift for the middle-aged and older generation.
Kang Cheon-ho had a deep relationship with Seok Ji-hoon through ’48 Hours Camping’. Although the MC time was less than 5 minutes, Kang Cheon-ho willingly came down to Tongyeong for KK and Seok Ji-hoon, who have become world-class groups.
Of course, the fact that this week’s ’48 Hours Camping’ was filmed nearby also played a role.
“Waaaa!”
When KK came up, a different kind of shout poured out towards Kang Cheon-ho.
“Wow, the shouting isn’t a joke? “He’s more popular than us.”
As Jeong Yoon-gi took off the clothes he was wearing, Ahn Hyeong-seo responded by saying that was the same thing.
At that time, the stage director came up among the members and spoke.
“Accident… I’m sorry. “It won’t be like that anymore because we’ve done maintenance.”
Dowook shook his head and said at the words of the person in charge.
“no. “It was very windy… so it recovered quickly.”
Jeong Yoon-gi and Ahn Hyeong-seo also nodded at Do-wook’s words. Then, Jeong Yoon-gi patted Do-wook on the shoulder and said,
“I don’t even think I had an accident because Do-wook kept the beat right in front of me.”
After a short conversation, the KK members quickly changed their clothes with proud smiles.
***
And so the unique performance at Saryangdo Island in Tongyeong came to an end.
It was a performance with a new title, ‘K.K. that even the wind can’t stop.’ The edited video garnered a lot of attention on MyTube and was featured in the entertainment industry by being featured in not only domestic media but also foreign media.
Afterwards, KK’s performance continued to Daegu, Busan, Mokpo, Jeonju, Cheongju, Gangwon-do, and Jeju-do. It was literally endless.
The ‘Gwanggae Tokay performance map’ was circulated as a humorous meme on the Internet. The place where KK performed also became a tourist destination, as the Tourism Office intended.
As the performance continued, records were set. During the last Jeonju performance, the number of concurrent users rose to 2 million, probably because it matched the foreign time on the weekend.
There was nothing to say about the content of the performance.
Every day was a hot topic.
As it appeared on the portal site’s main page and real-time search terms once every three days, there was a saying in the entertainment industry that ‘there is no day to avoid it.’
Even if they tried to raise the topic, it was quickly buried by KK.
However, the end was approaching for KK’s guerrilla performance.
The last performance was specifically announced a week in advance. As such, it was not a first-come-first-served basis, but a reserved seating system, and reservations were also available.
As it was the last performance, the intention was to accommodate as many people as possible.
At the same time, all preparations were made to allow more people to watch the performance.
The scale was gradually increasing.
Lee Dae-hyung, head of the fan-marketing team, even went on a business trip to the United States for a while. It was because of a contract with the world-renowned music channel ‘V TV’.
