RAP STAR

Chapter 81 [verse 14. Beat The Underground]

"Beat the Underground"

The Gwangju Tigers secured 4th place, securing a spot in the playoffs. Although there was a chance to aim for 3rd place by sweeping the last three games, the Incheon Sky managed to secure 2 wins, ultimately finishing the season in 4th place. In reality, it was fortunate for Sanghyun. If the Gwangju Tigers had moved up to 3rd place, there might have been scheduling conflicts, and they might not have been able to perform Gwangju UP at the Mudeung Baseball Stadium. Therefore, Sanghyun had even cheered for the Tigers to lose while watching the 3rd game of the Gwangju Tigers' series.

Finally, the schedule for the fall baseball season was decided from October 6th to October 25th. Originally scheduled to start on October 1st, some games were postponed due to rain, resulting in a 5-day delay for the fall baseball season.

The day after the Gwangju Tigers secured 4th place, the members of 888 Crew, along with L&S's Miju and Bang Min-sik, headed to the Mudeung Baseball Stadium, the home stadium of the Gwangju Tigers.

"Are we performing here on the cheering stand? But it seems too narrow... There won't be enough space for band instruments, will there?"

"We plan to set up an additional stage next to the cheering stand. You can think of it as about 2.5 times the size of the current cheering stand."

"Are you going to widen the sidelines and the backline?"

"Yes. The band L&S will be positioned in the back, similar to the shape of the infield, and the members of 888 Crew can perform freely in front of them. And the Gwangju UP music video will be shown on the scoreboard."

After hearing Assistant Manager Go Won-guk's explanation, Sanghyun pondered for a moment before speaking up.

"Looking at the stage position, won't the away team's fans have trouble seeing the performance?"

"That's true, but it's unavoidable. The home team's fans are our priority."

"How about projecting the performance scenes onto the scoreboard? Is it technically impossible?"

"It's not impossible. However, it would complicate things as we would need to rent cameras and lay new lines. It's not confirmed yet, but changing it might be difficult due to cost issues..."

Sanghyun looked perplexed at Assistant Manager Go's words. It was a task that they couldn't solve because of cost issues.

At that moment, Minho, who had been quietly listening, spoke up.

"The broadcast van will be here, right?"

"It's the opening game of the fall baseball season, so of course."

"Then, can't we connect the camera lines of the broadcast van to the scoreboard? Or instead of renting cameras from a company, we could just briefly rent them through the broadcasting station?"

"Oh! That's a good idea. If we can coordinate with the broadcasting station, it might not cost much besides the line connection fee. Hmm, I'll look into it."

"Please do."

While Sanghyun and Minho took the lead in discussing the performance, Bang Min-sik surveyed the spaces where the equipment would be set up.

"Sir, where will the main speakers be installed?"

"There won't be specific main speakers. We'll use the existing speakers at 1st and 3rd bases, and additional speakers will be installed near the cheering stand and home base. The output levels of all speakers will be similar."

"What about monitoring speakers?"

"I heard that the stage production team will install them near the cheering stand."
