What is your name (2)

***

“Yes. “It’s true that I sent the email.”

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung answered Do-wook’s question.

The very next day after returning from Japan, Do-wook had a meeting with Lee Dae-hyung, head of the fan-marketing team, and Shim Jun, head of the album production team.

The three of them came to a cafe near the company after Team Leader Shim Jun said that he was frustrated because he was always stuck in the office these days.

Dowook was moving alone, the other members were in their dormitories, and he was mixed among the employees, so fortunately he was able to avoid the eyes of fans in front of the office.

The cafe was a small shop behind the office, and there were only two tables, so even if fans came, there wasn’t enough space to enter.

At Team Leader Daehyung Lee’s words, Team Leader Sim Jun smiled happily and put his arm around Team Leader Daehyung Lee’s shoulders.

“Ask me to do anything. “I’m making drinks.”

Dowook, who was standing behind him, muttered quietly.

“It’s a law...”

Team leader Sim Jun groaned at Do-wook’s words.

“Pretend you don’t know! “I’m a poor salaried worker!”

Dowook smiled and took out his card from his wallet.

“I made some money!”

“sure.”

Team leader Shim Jun glanced at Do-wook without being hateful and boasted that he would order the most expensive drink in the cafe. Team leader Lee Dae-hyung said he would enjoy it and ordered a warm latte.

Dowook knew how hard the two team leaders worked for KK. Of course, it was their job, but Dowook knew because he was an employee of the agency that they worked much harder than the compensation they received as if it were their own job.

For a singer to succeed, the staff around him was also a very important factor. It was a job that I could never succeed in alone.

A drink worth a few thousand won seemed too cheap to express my gratitude, but I wanted to express my gratitude in this way at a time like this.

Shim Jun, the leader of the album production team, had now left all album projects for singers other than KK to his team members.

It was a situation where KK was leading the entire Hit Entertainment.

Of course, existing singers from Milky Way and Monster Hit Entertainment were also active in their own ways. However, as he had been away for quite some time, he was now focusing on individual activities rather than group activities.

Although Team Leader Sim Jun was out of the hands, the team members who grew up under Team Leader Sim Jun were doing their roles just as well as Team Leader Sim Jun. Thanks to this, Milky Way vocal members were active in OST music, and Kwon Ji-hyung’s solo album was achieving good results.

In the case of Kwon Ji-hyung, he was not at Do-wook’s level, but like Do-wook, he actively interacted with his brave only child and participated in song production, so he contributed greatly to his solo album. It could be said that their prime as a group was past, but it seemed like their prime as a solo singer would come soon.

By focusing on KK’s album, Team Leader Sim Jun had more time.

Thanks to this, I was able to prepare for KK’s next album in a little more depth.

At the same time, I was worried about the same thing as Do-wook. Team leader Sim Jun thought that it was time for KK to look at overseas markets rather than the domestic market.

It was a moment when I reached the top. By the time you shout ‘yay’ and hear the echo coming back, you have to go down again.

But just aim for the next mountain. Without Daum, the road down was just a ‘downhill’ road.

Within the album production team, it was very difficult to worry about KK’s next album. Team Leader Sim Jun’s thoughts and concerns happened to reach Team Leader Lee Dae-hyung’s ears.

It was the day of the team leader-level luncheon to celebrate the New Year.

Hit Entertainment’s company policy recommended lunch gatherings rather than dinner gatherings.

The entertainment industry was already famous for working day and night. In particular, the closer the work is to the celebrity, the more blurred the boundaries between work hours become.

Therefore, it was a consideration at the company level to not prevent employees from leaving work by holding a company dinner in the evening.

Not only was the boundary between work hours blurred, but no one could beat the manager who was right next to them and managed their artists, but the album production team was no better.

There was a slightly awkward laugh. Because it wasn’t a special email.

“I introduced a group called K.K. and attached several links to K.K.’s music videos in order of highest number of views on MyTube. First, listen to it. That’s it. Take a listen and contact us if you are interested. We are always considering entering the US market. Because there was nothing special about it...”

In fact, rather than a collaboration, it was an email asking for some kind of help, just as Nakamoto helped us enter the Japanese market.

“But wouldn’t it work?”

“K.K.’s music worked.”

When Team Leader Shim Jun expressed his admiration and gave a thumbs up, Team Leader Daehyung Lee quickly responded. Team leader Lee Dae-hyung’s answer was enough to melt the hearts of team leader Sim Jun and Do-wook.

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung said it was an insignificant email, but Do-wook thought team leader Lee Dae-hyung had done something big. Do-wook was also an employee of the public relations team when Kim Bo-myeong was in charge, but he didn’t seem to have thought of making his name known by sending an email directly.

Even if you thought about it, it was difficult to actually put it into action. I probably thought it wouldn’t work and quit.

“Did you send an email to LIL’s management company?”

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung answered Do-wook’s question.

“Yes. In fact, I also sent it to other famous management companies. “There are a few more places... Although LIL is the only place I have contacted.”

“Outside LIL! A sound that will make LIL wail loudly when he hears it!”

Team leader Sim Jun reprimanded team leader Lee Dae-hyung. Dowook also shook his head.

Regardless of entering the global market, my heart was swelled just by the fact that I was working with LIL, the best vocalist and artist. I was just grateful to Team Leader Daehyung Lee for giving me the opportunity to work with LIL.

“I only discussed sending the email with the director... because I didn’t want to disappoint Team Leader Shim or Do-wook for no reason.”

“I even care about things like that!”

“yes. are you okay.”

Do-wook also doubled down on Team Leader Lee Dae-hyung’s intentions. Dowook was also unable to convey this news to the members out of fear.

“I talked further with LIL... and there were no problems with issues such as contracts and profit distribution. This has even been confirmed by Manager Joanie. However, they said that if it doesn’t have the quality they want, it can’t be included on the album. Even in that case, since there is work done, they say they will only pay the cost of the work.”

“Oh...”

Team Leader Sim Jun said, stroking his chin a little worriedly.

“Is there anything I can do to meet the demands of a world-class star?...”

“All I have to do is do my best.”

Dowook was worried, but at the same time, he thought it would be a good challenge. Team leader Lee Dae-hyung nodded and continued.

“He said he would like to receive the song within a month. “It’s going to be tight... do you mind?”

Dowook answered, clenching his fists.

“You can.”

“Haha, I’m in great spirits! Good good. What song do you want? Did you even talk about that?”

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung shook his head in response to Team Leader Sim Jun’s question.

“I think it would be better to talk directly about that part...”

“Yes! great.”

The two team leaders smiled at Do-wook’s enthusiastic answer.

In particular, Team Leader Shim knew how much Do-wook was struggling with KK’s next album, so he thought it would be good to gain many helpful things through working with LIL before the album was released.

***

As the contract proceeded without any problems, Dowook also informed the KK members of this fact.

As expected, the members were overjoyed.

Of course, there were members who couldn’t even be happy for a while because they didn’t believe it at all.

However, a few days later, a schedule arose where I had no choice but to believe in the collaboration between LIL and KK.

The members stood in front of the laptop in the conference room with trembling hearts. Dowook was equally nervous. He was so excited that he couldn’t even think about what would happen next.
