On August 27, South Korea's KBS TV broadcast committee was pessimistic about the lyrics in the title song "Ballerino", so KBS assessed that it was not suitable for broadcasting, so the song "Ballerino" will not appear in the hit song show.

KBS pointed out that many parts of it describe too much love and life and death, which is too pessimistic for teenagers, and this song is a frank expression of the heroine's almost crazy state after the heroine's death, which may induce teenagers to imitate, so this assessment was made.

When Kim Do-joon received Gary's call, he was suddenly stunned, feeling that the fine porcelain he had just made was completely shattered at once, and his heart suddenly felt empty.

On the contrary, Gary and Ji didn't care at all, KBS is not suitable for broadcasting, I'll go to SBS, MBC Okay, it's not your TV station, and every album has been banned before, it doesn't matter anymore.

Compared with Kim Do-joon, their mood is much better, every time a new album is released, they are used to it, and the two of them enlightened Kim Do-jun a little and hung up the phone.

The next day, because Starnews, there was an exclusive interview with the new album, so the company specially arranged for three people to be interviewed.

"Leessang has always been a long-established hip hop group in Korea, so why did they reorganize this time and change from a duo to a trio? As soon as the moderator spoke, the question was sharp.

Gary glanced at Kim Do-jun and said, "It's been more than five years since the debut of the leessang group, and Ji and I also want to try new changes, plus Do-joon's own strength is very good, and we have unanimously praised him, so we specially invited him to join leessang." ”

Although all three of them wear hats and sunglasses, I don't know if every hiphop singer is like this, or if it's just the three of them, I feel safe wearing sunglasses for interviews.

"Mr. Kim Do-joon, can you say hello to the audience in front of the TV?" The moderator then said.

Kim Do-joon coughed lightly, straightened his hat, stood up and said respectfully: "Hello audience friends in front of the TV, I am Kim Do-joon, a new member of LEESSANG, who just released our fourth album "BlackSun" on August 28 this year, I hope you will support us a lot, peace, thank you." ”

After saying that, he also made a peaceful gesture and bowed respectfully, as a newcomer, these are the most basic etiquette.

"What do the members of Leessang think about the KBS assessment that it is not suitable for broadcasting?"

The moderator moves on to the next question, which is the focus of today's interview.

Ji has been prepared for this question for a long time, and he usually speaks for this kind of question, which is also the trust of the company and members in him......

"It's been more than five years since I started doing hip-hop music in 1997 and debuted as a member of Leessang in 2002, and there have been many cases where our songs have not passed the review, and now the results of the broadcast are very stable, of course, there are no plans to submit it for review again, we just want to concentrate on making our own music."

Gary thought for a moment and spoke.

"Now there is a more serious situation where the lyrics have passed the review, because the standards are vague, so there is no feeling for the review, just a word modification will lose the original feeling of the song, so there is no intention to modify the lyrics and send it for review again."

In this way, Kim Do-joon ended the interview of his life for the first time, and he is destined to leave a deep memory in his life.

Although KBS has made an assessment, it still can't resist Leessang's hot popularity.

The PD of "Popular Ballads" has called, hoping that leessang can complete the debut and return of "Popular Ballads", as for how to cooperate, it needs to be discussed, and the company has agreed on their behalf, and it will be officially discussed in the evening.

Kim Do-joon quickly adjusted from the atmosphere just now, as a singer, he should have done this kind of consciousness a long time ago, not to mention a hiphop singer, now he has begun to get excited, his heart is beating more violently, and he will soon be on the stage for the first time, this mood is difficult to calm down, and he can't even sit quietly in his position.

In the afternoon, the four of them came to the Yeouido SBS Broadcasting Center in a nanny car to meet with Kong Hee-cheol, the director of "Popular Ballads".

"Hello Kong Xizhe PD." When the four of them met together, they bowed and said hello.

Director Kong Xizhe has been serving as the chief director since the resumption of "Popular Ballads", and he is a very senior director of SBS TV and the core figure of "Popular Ballads".

His production team, who also served as the producer of other variety shows, is also a very dedicated producer, found that after "Popular Ballads" was changed from live broadcast to recorded broadcast, the ratings plummeted, and regardless of the opposition of other people, he resolutely returned to the previous live broadcast form, a very bold director.

"Gary, Ji, long time no see, finally released a new album, congratulations, who is this next to you?"

Kong Xizhe said with a smile, seeing Jin Daojun standing next to him, he suddenly became very puzzled, the agent still knows him, this one is not very clear, is it an assistant.

The three of them will always come out in similar outfits, sunglasses, hats, and a lot of them, as for other accessories, necklaces, rings or something, Kim Daojun hasn't taken a fancy to it, so he didn't bring it, as for Gary and Ji, I wish I could wear all ten fingers.

"Kong PD, I haven't seen you for a long time, let me introduce you, our new member LEESSANG, Kim Dojun, Daojun came to say hello to Kong PD, he is SBS TV's variety show mountain, hehe."

Ji smiled and pulled Kim Do-jun over, while introducing that this kid is a little shy, and he can't do it without pushing himself.

"Hello Pd." Kim Do-joon took off his hat and saluted respectfully.

Kong Xizhe PD just nodded slightly, there is no need for newcomers to be kind, after a long time, if you have qualifications, naturally someone will be polite to you, not all of them are Yin Zhiyuan, Han Jae-seok, and Choi Siyuan.

After the introduction, the group went to the office of "Popular Ballads" and sat down, tomorrow is the live broadcast of "Popular Ballads", and the staff in the office have gone to the studio to set up the stage, and the huge office is empty.

"Gary, this time you released a new album, and as soon as you came up, it was judged by KBS as unsuitable for broadcasting, which is very bad for your publicity." Kong Xizhe said jokingly.

"Kong PD, you are also exalting us too much, this is not the first time, and it will definitely not be the last, I and Jidu are used to it, it's okay, it's just that our new members are not used to it, and they will slowly understand it in the future, and it is much more unsuitable than our lyrics, and many of them are not evaluated? It's too complicated. ”

Gary looks cynical, this matter has been seen very lightly, music was originally made for the public to listen to, and it is difficult to reconcile, and the shady scenes in it are not something that can be controlled by a small role of oneself, forget it, let's take one step at a time!

"Then how about the return of "Popular Ballads" tomorrow, isn't the new song already posted on the Internet? I've listened to it very well, and I'm preparing a special comeback stage for you, but maybe this is the opportunity, ft-lsland has also released a new album, and is playing songs, and the momentum is very strong, and Han Seung-hoon, the producer of F&cEntertainment, has already called me, please ask me to promote more, so this opportunity is rare, and I can only help you once. ”

Kong PD is very realistic, although he is the director and producer of "Popular Ballads" and has a lot of power.

While having power, he also has to pay a lot of costs, such as favors, many brokerage companies ask him to do more publicity for their singers, and at the same time, he also wants to ask the heads of major brokerage companies, hoping to let popular artists appear on SBS TV variety shows, adjust schedules, etc., these are all exchanges of interests, and they are equivalent exchanges, how much you pay, how much you can gain, these are unwritten rules.

"Thank you, Kong PD, we'll go up, then if you don't discuss it, how to return to the law."

Ji opened his mouth to ask, and at this time, Kim Do-jun couldn't interject at all, so he could only listen quietly.

"The hosts of "Popular Ballads" are now SJ's Kim Hee-cheol and Jang Keun Suk, who are also popular artists this year, we will let them sing your title song first, and then invite your feat female guests, and finally the three of you will be on it, I took a look, the name of your new song has been on the third place on the search list, and the momentum is very strong, if it is broadcast live tomorrow, play well, and you will definitely get good results."

Kong Xizhe PD took out his mobile phone, looked at it and said.

As soon as Kim Do-joon heard the names of those two people, he remembered that he had seen these two people during the infusion, how did he return for the first time, and the host he met was them, and he was really a little uncomfortable, as if he had eaten a fly, if he didn't like it, he didn't like it, he didn't need a reason, just like you can dislike me, and I don't have to like this singer.

"No problem, then we'll come over early tomorrow morning for the rehearsal, thank you Kong Xizhe PD." After saying that, the three of them stood up at the same time, bowed slightly and left the office.

Along the way, Kim Do-joon was still thinking about the host, and he didn't hear Gary talking to him.

"Hey, Daojun, what do you want, I won't answer when I talk to you, tomorrow's comeback, don't be nervous, the first time will pass soon, and there will be more opportunities to be on stage in the future! fighting。 ”

"Yes, I think when I first went on stage, I wasn't nervous at all, because I really like to sing, I just want to sing my own songs to the people I like, as for those who don't like it, don't worry about them, just be yourself, newcomers have to learn to decompress, just go on stage more in the future, come on, Daojun!"

After speaking, he raised his fist and touched each other with Kim Do-jun and Gary to show encouragement.

In this way, the three of them sat in the nanny car and chatted casually, because Kim Do-jun lived in Yeongdeungpo-gu of Yeouido, which was very close to the three major TV stations, so it was not long to arrive, and the two of them, one lived in Mapo and the other lived in Jamsil, so they could only be sent back in turn.
