Divinity ~ Male KPOP Idol

Chapter 36: Idol

The sun streamed through the wide windows of the recording studio, casting a warm glow over the sleek equipment and the scattered sheets of lyrics and notes. The group was gathered around the control panel, Sei seated at the helm, adjusting the settings as the others talked about their comeback preparations.

"I can't believe we're finally doing this," Minho said, leaning back in his chair with a satisfied grin. "This album is going to be something else, I'm so excited!"

Jaehyun nodded in agreement, flipping through the lyrics in his hand. "It's crazy how fast everything came together. The title track is going to blow people away."

Sei smiled, his fingers pausing on the dials. "I wanted something that really represented us, you know? Something that says, 'This is who we are.'"

"Identity is the perfect name for the album," Wei added, his voice thoughtful. "And 'Idol'... well, that's the perfect song to kick it off. It's catchy, it's confident—it's us."

Minho chuckled, his eyes twinkling. "And having Nicki Minaj on the track? That's just the icing on the cake."

Sei leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "Kang PD said she'll be here within the week to record her part. We'll try to finish our sections today, then we can focus on the video planning."

"Speaking of which," Wei cut in, setting the lyrics aside. "How are we going to do this? The choreography, the set design—do we have everything in place?"

"We've got most of it figured out," Sei replied, reaching for his notebook. He flipped it open to a page filled with sketches and notes. "I was thinking we'd go for something vibrant, something that really pops on screen. Lots of colors, big energy."

Jaehyun glanced over Sei's shoulder, nodding in approval. "I like it. It's got that larger-than-life feel."

"And the outfits?" Minho asked, raising an eyebrow. "Are we going traditional or modern?"

"A mix of both," Sei said with a smile. "I want us to pay homage to our roots but also show how we've evolved. It'll be a blend—like the song itself."

Wei grinned, clearly excited. "This is going to be epic. When do we start recording?"

"Right now," Sei replied, getting to his feet. "We'll take it one section at a time, starting with the intro. Let's make sure everything's perfect before Nicki gets here."

The group moved into the recording booth, their excitement growing as they prepared to bring their vision to life. Sei took his place at the mic, giving a quick nod to Kang PD, who was stationed behind the control panel.

"Alright, everyone ready?" Sei asked, glancing around at his members.

Jaehyun, Wei, and Minho gave him a thumbs-up, their expressions focused.

"Let's do this," Sei said, his voice steady. "Starting from the top."

As the beat of "Idol" filled the room, the members of Divinity immersed themselves in the music, Sei motioned for Jaehyun to start with his part of the osmg "You go first, hyung."

Jaehyun stepped up to the mic, the familiar thrum of anticipation coursing through him. The lyrics Sei handed out were spread in front of him, but he didn't need to look. The words were already ingrained in his mind.

Kang-PD gave a thumbs-up from the control room, signaling that they were ready to start. Jaehyun took a deep breath and began, his voice flowing effortlessly with the beat.

"You can call me artist (artist) You can call me idol (idol) Ani mwotdo eotteon dareun mwora haedo I don't care."

His voice was smooth, but there was an underlying intensity, a sense of pride that came through with each word. The others nodded along, feeling the energy in the room heighten as Jaehyun's voice filled the studio.
