"10th place."

The music ranking rose to 10th place over the span of a day. They were speechless for a brief moment, then everyone applauded Yong Soo Chul.

"Don't get too excited, everyone. This is just the beginning."

RDT Team Leader Im Sung Ahn said as she cleaned up the area. Her words were out of concern and encouragement rather than with the intention of breaking the upbeat vibe.

Everyone knew that's what she meant and genuinely took her words to heart.

Do Wook assessed the path going forward.

'10th place. I'm looking forward to sales of the album that will be released tomorrow.'

As MP3 players were trending and music file sites started to appear, CD sales didn't have the same prestige as before.

It was even safe to say that there were barely any people who actually listened to albums these days now that there were smartphones.

Nevertheless, CD sales were meaningful because it was practical in demonstrating the size of the fandom.

Also, CD sale revenues, unlike music files where the distributor got most of the profits, were financially meaningful because it was the system that had the largest investment returns for copyright holders.

"First of all, we'll be going around to all the music shows in the broadcast company this week...We have to distribute autographed CDs, so be ready to sign tomorrow."

The members' jaws dropped when he mentioned autographs. Park Tae Hyung was visibly flustered.

"Is it because you don't have a signature?"

Do Wook asked Park Tae Hyung, who was frozen. When he responded 'yes', Ahn Hyung Seo confidently said that making a signature was quick and to leave it to him. Other members had already made signatures while they were living the trainee life.

Come to think of it, Do Wook also didn't have a signature yet. When he thought of making a signature, he somewhat started to feel like he became a celebrity.

"You all familiarized yourselves with the lines for the team introduction and album introduction that we distributed, right?"

The members flinched and nodded their heads to Team Leader Im's question, who was being mindful of future appearances in radio and entertainment programs, etc.

"KK is an abbreviation for King's Key... A boy hip-hop group that is leading the generation...They are also an artist group that actively participates in the album production..."

Jung Yoon Ki, who was in charge of lines regarding introducing the overall team vibe and team name etc, muttered compulsively.

"Producer Brave Only Child composed..."

Ahn Hyung Seo, who was in charge of introducing the title song, also recited the lines he memorized like a vending machine. The two of them were only able to stop memorizing the lines once the team leaders and Manager Oh were satisfied.

It was time to clean up the area and leave the rehearsal hall. Team Leader Shim Jun called Do Wook privately.

"Do Wook, can I talk to you for a second?"

"You mean me?"

"Yes. Let's go up to PD Yong's studio together and talk."

As Do Wook looked around, Manager Oh was already leaving with the other members as if he already knew the situation. The other members, who didn't know the reason, looked curious.
