Chapter 68 The Question of Kim Jong Kook's Service
Not long after Kim So-eun left, Kim Tae-hyun received a call from Kim Jong-kook.
"Yabuse, Taixian, I'm Brother Zhong Guo, do you have time tonight?" After Kim Tae-hyun answered the phone, Kim Jong Kook immediately said.
"Inside, is there anything wrong with Brother Zhong Guo?" Kim Tae-hyun said while helping with the cooking.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my time for service has come down, and I want to call you out for a gathering tonight." Kim Jong Kook said calmly.
"Nei, I know, Brother Zhong Guo will send me the address when the time comes, I will definitely arrive on time." Kim Tae-hyun said. Kim Tae-hyun has long known about Kim Jong Kook's going to serve, but he doesn't know the specific service time yet.
"Okay, I'll send you the address later, I'll see you that night." Kim Jong Kook said with a smile.
"Inside, I'll see you in the evening, Brother Zhong Guo." Kim Tae-hyun also responded with a smile.
After that, Kim Jong Kook hung up the phone, and Kim Tae-hyun was cooking while thinking about Kim Jong Kook's service. Kim Tae-hyun knows Kim Jong Kook as a singer has two heydays, the first heyday was the turbo period, when he was one of the top boy groups in Korea; The second is the familiar Triple Crown period, in this period Kim Jong Kook was the first solo person at that time, with works such as "Likable" and "A Man" became the second Triple Crown in the history of Korean songs, because the restructuring of the song war may also be the last Triple Crown, of course, Kim Jong Kook's Triple Crown peak period was too short, and he had to serve in the military because of his age in the second year, according to Kim Jong Kook's friend Cha Tae-hyun broke the news that Kim Jong Kook cried before going to service, After all, Kim Jong Kook has experienced too many hardships and hardships in front of him, and he was called to serve when it was just time to harvest, and anyone would feel unwilling.
Military service in South Korea is fatal to male artists, many male artists are because of the sharp decline in popularity after military service, after all, there is a blank period of about two years when they serve, compared to the market of South Korea's artist production line, I don't know how many newcomers have popped up in two years, two years is enough time for most fans to forget that you switch to other idols, and for artists, the number of fans also represents the level of popularity.
Of course, the popularity of Kim Jong Kook is not only because of the two-year blank period of service, the important reason why Kim Jong Kook's popularity after returning from service is that Kim Jong Kook chose to serve as a public service soldier at that time, and the public service soldier is much easier than normal service, and Kim Jong Kook's public service is also in line with national regulations, because Kim Jong Kook was judged to be a public service soldier who was sentenced to serve because of a back injury during the military service physical examination at the age of 18, and the reason why he was boycotted by the people is because Kim Jong Kook was in "X-Man" The image of a tough guy muscular man in the period has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone has expressed strong resistance to a tough guy like Kim Jong Kook to serve the public service soldiers. If Kim Jong Kook had known that serving as a public service soldier would bring him these troubles, I believe he would have chosen to serve in normal service.
Kim Tae-hyun summed up that Kim Jong Kook will have more advantages than disadvantages if he goes to serve now, although this also has a gap of nearly two years, but compared to the two-year gap period after the triple crown, these two years can be bearable.
The only thing Kim Tae-hyun has to do is that Kim Jong Kook can achieve the style of the Triple Crown in his previous life after returning from service, and the most important reason why Kim Jong Kook can achieve the Triple Crown is two points, the first is Kim Jong Kook's delicate voice that is different from his own image and those songs that can be called classics; The second point is the show "X-Man", it can be said that this show has brought a large number of people, after this show, Liu Jae-seok, Jiang Hudong, and Kim Jidong began to be called the three mountains of the MC world, and at the same time, it also raised the status of gagman to a new height, and Kim Jong Kook was also able to quickly accumulate popularity because he became a semi-regular guest in this show, which is also the biggest help to achieve Kim Jong Kook's triple crown.
The first thing Kim Tae-hyun can do is to help Kim Jong Kook get a fixed position of "X-Man" after Kim Jong Kook returns from service, and the second point is to help Kim Jong Kook include those songs, Kim Tae-hyun is not worried about the song "A Man", because the author of this song, Hwang Chan-ki, was originally a member of Kim Jong-kook's team, and when Kim Jong-kook signed G2K, Kim Tae-hyun noticed Hwang Chan-gi, and Kim Tae-hyun also asked his uncle to sign a contract with Hwang Chan-gi according to the composer's contract. As for the likable song, Kim Tae-hyun doesn't know who wrote it, and even Hwang Chan-gi, Kim Tae-hyun still knew about it from reading novels in his previous life, but it doesn't matter who wrote it, because Kim Tae-hyun is already familiar with these representative songs of Kim Jong-kook, Kim Tae-hyun is learning to compose music now, and when Kim Tae-hyun can listen to it, he can write the tune according to the melody in his head. As for Kim Tae-hyun's shortcomings, the company now has a lot of talents in this area who can help Kim Tae-hyun.
"Oppa, is the meal ready? Yeon-yeon is hungry! Just when Kim Tae-hyun was still thinking about these things, Yeon-yeon's impatient voice came from the restaurant.
"Inside, okay, okay, let's eat right away." After Kim Tae-hyun was awakened by Yeon-yeon's voice, he quickly turned off the fire first, and then opened the lid of the pot to take a look, fortunately, it was cooking miso soup now, and if it was another dish, it would have been mushy a long time ago.
After Kim Tae-hyun and Yeon-yeon finished lunch, they came to Seo-hyun's house as they had two days ago, this time Sister-in-law Seo was at home, but Lim Yoon-a did not come.
"Aunt Xu, can you teach Yanyan to play the piano?" When Kim Tae-hyun was practicing, Yeon-yeon on the side listened to the beautiful melody coming from the piano and became more and more curious about the piano, so she said to Aunt Seo.
"Inside, of course you can, in the afternoon during the holidays, when Auntie is giving you Zhu Xian Oni a lesson, you just come over, I will teach Yanyan to play the piano well, let you practice more OPPA today, and I will teach Yanyan to play the piano from tomorrow." Sister-in-law Xu said with a smile.
"Inner, thank you, Aunt Xu!" Yeon-yeon said happily.
"Hehe, then it's troublesome sister-in-law, I'll ask my mother to contact you when I get home, and my parents will pick up Yanyan at that time." Kim Tae-hyun now treats Brother Xu's family as his own family, so he doesn't say anything polite like before.
"Hehe, Yeonyan is so lively, cute and sensible, letting her be with Xiaoxian more can also have some impact on Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian's temperament is too calm, not like a child at all." Sister-in-law Xu looked at Xu Xian, who was sitting quietly next to Yeon-yeon, and said.
"Inside, Xiaoxian is a little too calm." Kim Tae-hyun nodded in agreement.
Next, Kim Tae-hyun and Seo-hyun changed to practice the piano, after all, a person who practiced the piano for a long time couldn't stand his fingers. Soon the time came, today Kim Tae-hyun did not eat at Brother Xu's house because of the appointment with Kim Jong-kook, and after sending Yeon-yeon home, Kim Tae-hyun came to a restaurant according to the address given to him by Kim Jong-kook.
"Brother Zhong Guo, I'm here." Kim Tae-hyun was led by the waiter to the box where Kim Jong Kook was, and in the box there was a man Kim Tae-hyun had never seen in addition to Kim Jong Kook.
"Taehyun is here! Let me introduce you here, this is my cousin Zhang He. After Kim Tae-hyun came in, Kim Jong Kook introduced him to Kim Tae-hyun.
"Jang Hyuk, this is my good brother, Kim Tae-hyun." Kim Jong Kook said to Jang Hyuk.
"Nei, Aniha, Brother Jang He, hello, I'm Kim Taehyun Smecta." Kim Jong Kook introduced that this was Jang Hyuk when Kim Tae-hyun knew who it was, Jang Hyuk is also a member of the Dragon Brothers, and the representative work is "Lao Qian", but Kim Tae-hyun doesn't know much about Jang Hyuk, and the current Jang Hyuk does not have the mature temperament that he has in the future, so Kim Tae-hyun didn't recognize it at first sight.
"Anihashi, hello Taehyun, let's just use plain language, there's no need to be so restrained." Zhang He stood up and said with a smile.
"Inside, just do as Brother Zhang He said." Kim Tae-hyun said with a smile.
"Since we all know each other, you two will sit down first, and we will sit down and talk while eating." Kim Jong Kook saw that the two of them were still standing and talking, so he mentioned yì first.
"Inner, Brother Zhong Guo, when are you going to serve?" Kim Tae-hyun sat down and asked straight to the point.
"Well, the time has been set, that is, it will start service at the end of this month, and it will serve until the end of May 2004, serving as a public service soldier for 22 months." Kim Jong Kook said with a smile. It may be that he has thought about it a lot during this time, and now Kim Jong Kook's face can't see the entanglement of some time ago.
"Okay, I'll send Brother Zhong Guo on that day." Kim Tae-hyun also said with a smile, Kim Tae-hyun got along with Kim Jong Kook during this time and found that Kim Jong Kook is the kind of person who does not talk much, sometimes it can be said to be dull, but as long as you get along with him a lot, you will find that Kim Jong Kook is a very careful and righteous person from many small things. So for Kim Jong Kook to get out of the entanglement and confusion, Kim Tae-hyun is very happy for him.
"Of course, if I don't see you kid by then, I'll see how I clean you up when I come out." Kim Jong Kook said with a smile.
"Now that I've figured it out, I'll go to the army to be quiet during this time, and when I come out, I'll let go of my hands and feet and fight." Kim Jong Kook said with a sigh.
"Zhong Guo, don't worry, when you come back, the brothers will try their best to support you." Zhang He said firmly.
"I know, we've known each other for a long time, can't I believe you? Then you will need the support of your brothers. Kim Jong Kook nodded after listening to Jang Hyuk's words and said.
"I will also unconditionally support Brother Zhong Guoge, after all, Brother Zhong Guoge is also the current top artist of our company! I'm still counting on Brother Zhong Guo, you to help me make money! Kim Tae-hyun joked.
"Ah, I know that you who run economic companies are exploiters, and Taixian, you are going to start plotting to exploit me now! When my brother comes back and becomes popular, let you exploit it! Kim Jong Kook said with a laugh.
"Inside, I will definitely make Brother Zhong Guo a general trend! Definitely! Kim Tae-hyun said firmly.
"Haha, of course I will become the general trend, you can rest assured, I will write a legendary scene of my Kim Jong Kook in the Korean entertainment industry!" After drinking too much, Kim Jong Kook also began to show a different side from usual, and some of them were in high spirits.
This night, Kim Tae-hyun and Jang Hyuk chatted a lot with Kim Jong-kook and drank a lot, although Kim Tae-hyun has also started drinking now, but it is not alcoholic, Kim Tae-hyun has always kept himself in a sober Cheng dù.
When Kim Jong Kook and Jang Hyuk had almost drunk, Kim Tae-hyun made a phone call to Kim Jong Kook's agent, and when Kim Jong Kook's agent came, he sent Jang Hyuk home first, Kim Jong Kook's agent followed Kim Jong Kook for a long time, and he knew where Kim Jong Kook's relatives lived. Kim Tae-hyun was originally going home by himself, but Kim Jong-kook's agent saw that Kim Tae-hyun was almost drunk, so he insisted on sending Kim Tae-hyun back first, and Kim Tae-hyun did not refuse, after all, it is also a company now, and there is no need to be polite in these little things.
