PRINCE FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION BECOMES AN IDOL

chapter 23

Dojae returned to the room he shared with Kyuseong and sat on the bed, revisiting the article he had read earlier.

"IV Investment decides to invest in Kingdom Entertainment, home to the popular group Big Boys."

The article described how the company's fortunes had turned for the better due to Big Boys' rising popularity, securing a significant investment.

'So this is the important meeting that Team Leader Jung Heeyoung mentioned regarding investment.'

Dojae recalled his education at the Imperial Palace.

Even those born into the imperial family who weren't direct heirs were required to take succession classes from ages

fifteen to seventeen.

This was to ensure they were prepared for any potential vacancies.

The classes primarily focused on the management of the royal household.

Since the founding of the Empire, the initial operating expenses of the imperial family had been covered by taxes from the citizens.

However, it wasn't sustainable to rely solely on taxes, so the imperial family sought investments and grew their own businesses.

As a result, the lessons Dojae received were similar to corporate management courses, enabling him to grasp the company's financial status through investment articles.

'Although I don't know all the company's operations, I can get a general idea...'

Dojae paid close attention to the last line of the article.

"...With the successful investment, Kingdom Entertainment plans to intensify preparations for the debut of their next group in the second half of this year."

Thus, it was clear that the company's financial situation had improved and that they had secured funding for the next group's debut.

Dojae saw a glimmer of hope in this.

On Monday, practice resumed. As they left the dormitory and headed to the practice room, the members were still pondering which song would be best for their title track.

As they alternated humming between two songs, Kijoon stopped them. Kijoon, who had checked a message

from Manager Kim Seokchul, spoke up, "We need to go to the small meeting room instead of the practice room."

"The meeting room? Why?"

"I don't know. They said morning practice is canceled and to go to the meeting room."

"What? Canceled? Why...?"

Heungmin murmured, furrowing his brow.

If there was something important, they usually would have been notified in advance.

This sudden change was unusual. "Exactly. It's rare for morning practice to be entirely canceled."

Moreover, it wasn't their usual team leader Jung Heeyoung who called them but Manager Kim Seokchul.

If practice was canceled, it might mean they were going to get a serious talk about their dorm life or practice attitudes, though that was rare.

While Kijoon and Heungmin were worried, Louis and Woochul exchanged excited glances.

They were experiencing intense practice sessions as their debut approached, and the cancellation of morning practice was a relief, no matter

the reason.
