RAP STAR

Chapter 131 [verse 24. 2006]

In the midst of the fantastic scene, Minji, a philosophy graduate, brought out some difficult words for the first time in a while. She mixed in a line from her favorite movie, 'From Dusk Till Dawn.'

"Busk from dusk till dawn."

Sang-hyun chuckled as he interpreted Minji's words.

"Street performance from dusk till dawn."

Busking from dusk till dawn.

It seemed like there wouldn't be any need for an opening performance today to raise the audience's excitement. Every busker here was part of the opening lineup and featured artists.

Jun-hyung was the one who woke up the 888 Crew, who were immersed in strange admiration.

"Alright, it's nice to watch, but should we start setting up the speakers first?"

"But can we use electricity here? I don't see any outlets."

"This is rechargeable. We've been using electricity so far, so four hours should be enough, right?"

"Wow, that's amazing. Can't we just buy one of these speakers?"

"Sang-hyun, why are you so good at English? But why is your report card like that?"

In response to Ha-yeon's unexpected question, Sang-hyun felt embarrassed but casually spoke up.

"I studied, so I'm good at it. I prefer watching movies without subtitles, that's why."

"But why is your grades like that?"

"It's bothersome to take tests."

Everyone shook their heads at Sang-hyun's words.

The members of the 888 Crew had seen Sang-hyun talking to foreigners and conversing with standard English speakers while promoting the guerrilla concert. They had seen it multiple times. Surely, if he set his mind to it, he would do well on the test.
But it seemed like Sang-hyun had no choice but music in his life. There seemed to be little doubt that the direction of his life was that of a musician.

In-Hyuk was staring at Sang-hyun with a strange look in his eyes.

"Let's chat later. It's almost six o'clock, so let's hurry up."

At Kim Hwan's urging, the members of the 888 Crew began to move quickly. The audience seemed eager to rush towards them, but since they were busy setting something up, people only took photos.

After about 15 minutes, the stage setup for the 888 Crew gradually took shape.

Today's stage was positioned in the center of the stand, with the audience viewing the performance from the court below the stand. Although it wasn't intentional, the height of the stage was similar to that of a real performance stage, which was pleasing.
Moreover, the stand, consisting of four tiers, had quite spacious areas for each level. It seemed to be about 1 meter each. While they couldn't move around freely, it didn't feel cramped.

"Ah."

The microphone test to adjust the sound balance began. Before they knew it, other buskers in the area had finished their performances and transitioned into audience mode.

"Could those of you at the top of the stand please come down? You won't be able to hear well from the back since the speakers are facing the front anyway."

Upon Sang-hyun's words, the audience members at the top rushed down. Some didn't come down, but they couldn't force them.

"Was the plan originally to perform here? It's really well done."
