12: KK’s Beginning (3)

Translated by EatApplePies

A few days later, the conference room on the 3rd floor of HIT Entertainment office building.

There were over 10 people seated around in the conference room. Everyone was there to prepare for KK’s debut album.

The album production team had Shim Jun, who was the most experienced, and two of his team members participate in the KK project. The three of them and key RDT members participated in the meeting.

Additionally, for this meeting, the 6 KK members also participated. Today was the day they listen to the title song candidates for the debut album. Since it was a song the members would have to sing and perform to, the company internal protocol was the more input the members had on the album, the better.

Do Wook was a little stunned because choosing the title song happened sooner than he expected.

‘I did imply to Yong Soo Chul that there were only a few days left, but would he have already sent it? It wasn’t enough time to prepare a song and send it.’

Unlike the complicated mess in his mind, Do Wook was sitting calmly on one side of the conference room.

‘Huuu….should I have made my move earlier? No, around now is the most appropriate.

With nobody aware of Do Wook’s situation, the Team Leader Im Sung Ahn started the meeting by explaining once again KK’s proposed plan.

“As it was explained last time, KK is a boy hip hop dance group that will lead the top charts in the future. To stand out from other idols, we plan to emphasize the member’s individual remarkable talents. Please prepare the debut album together with that in mind.”

“The debut album will be a mini-album. Once the title is decided, we plan to develop the entire album to fit that concept.”

It was a familiar situation for the staff, but it was new for the members. Until now they just passively followed the practice schedule put together by the company. Now that the opportunity came for them to be directly involved in the album, it really felt like “their album” was coming out and their resolve got stronger.

Team leader Lim looked at the expressions of the members and nodded to Team Leader Shim Jun, who was sitting across from them.

“Then let’s get straight to the point. There are two candidates for the title song for now.”

Team Leader Shim Jun controlled a small remote. The conference room had speakers installed to be able to listen to music.

“To start off, number 1. It’s a song we received through connections to a famous producer.”

Song number 1 started to play. The song had a melody that was easily familiar to the ears to the point that one could comfortably sing along even if it was their first time hearing the song.

“Next is number 2. It’s a song from a new composer who is up-and-coming abroad.”

Compared to song number 1, the beat was much faster and cheerful. Perhaps it was because it’s an overseas producer, but it was a little peculiar. Peculiar wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. To rephrase, it could also mean fresh.

Once both songs were finished, silence went around the room for a moment.

As expected, Yong Soo Chul’s song was not among the two songs.

‘No matter how you look at it, it’ll be hard for either of the songs to be the title song…’

Do Wook had a sudden thought and was engulfed in doubt.
