“Why on earth?”
I couldn’t understand.
No, it wasn’t just that I couldn’t understand—this was something that shouldn’t even be possible.
‘Rene? Singing Utopia’s song? Why? Why would they do that when they have their own seniors?’
Rene is a place that values the image of unity even more than Miro.
They have many successful senior idols, consistently hold agency concerts, and above all, they take immense pride in being part of Rene, a gigantic agency of its own.
Why would they suddenly choose to cover Utopia’s song when their own seniors have plenty of songs?
I clenched the sofa cushion tightly with a serious expression and asked Ji Suho.
“Did Cateon Lin Shao run off to China?”
“…Huh?”
“No? That was last year. Then is Cateon MJ getting married? Did someone find out about the secret proposal at the concert?”
“What… who did what?”
“Oh, someone from Spear must have messed up! I feel like someone did something crazy after renewing their contract. If not, did someone get caught drunk driving? Damn, there are so many idols in the agency that just thinking about all the possible scandals gives me a headache.”
Who in Rene messed up so badly that Lanion is doing something as crazy as covering Utopia’s song?
With my mind in turmoil, I bit my finger, and Ji Suho, who had been quietly listening, spoke as if he finally understood.
“…So you’re saying this happened in the original timeline? Hajin, you better be careful talking about this stuff anywhere else.”
“I won’t. I’m only saying this because it’s you, Director. …But it just doesn’t make sense. Why would they sing Utopia’s song? Why? Their seniors have at least a dozen songs they could choose from.”
“Well… it’s complicated.”
Ji Suho showed a troubled expression as he began explaining the situation.
“To cut to the chase, the broadcast station requested, ‘If possible, it would be better not to perform the songs of agency seniors.’ The official reason is that they want to show a variety of stages, not tied down to one company.”
“What’s the real reason?”
“…You know that Stormheader’s agency is backed by QBS, right?”
“Who? Stormheader?”
What do they have to do with this?
“QBS wants to push Stormheader as much as possible. They need Stormheader to succeed if they want to keep making money in the entertainment business.”
“And?”
“Stormheader’s reference point is Spear.”
“…Ah.”
I finally started to grasp what was going on.
So, we’re like a shrimp caught in the fight between whales, huh?
“They want to give Spear’s cover songs to Stormheader, but they don’t have a good excuse to take them away from Lanion. So they decided to ban songs from the same agency, right?”
“Something like that.”
“…But why did Lanion choose Utopia’s song? Their musical style doesn’t match at all. Weren’t they all about easy-listening, powerful, refreshing music for the masses?”
