Chapter 67: Encounter

Kim Tae-yeon hid under the covers, carefully browsing the news about Kim Do-joon, and when she was moving in a nanny car today, she happened to hear the title song "Ballerino" of Leessang recommended by the radio host.

I didn't care about it at the time, but I listened carefully for a while, and found that it was really good, especially the female voice feat and rap, although I didn't understand rap, but every sentence and word was full of emotion, and I don't know who could create such a song.

When the host said the three words Kim Do-joon, Taeyeon trembled, and the figure of Kim Do-joon appeared in his mind, the boy wearing a hat and sitting quietly on the Hangang Bridge to draw?

So I listened carefully to the host's introduction, and the other members of the car were doing their own things, and no one noticed that Taeyeon was listening to the radio with her ears pricked up at this time.

"Kim Do-joon, born in 1988, just returned from studying in the United States, soon joined the Leessang group, this time Leessang's fourth album, the title song "Ballerino" and "Joker" are completely written and composed by his personal independent lyrics, and have won the love of many audiences.

The host briefly introduced Kim Do-joon's situation, but Kim Taeyeon took it to heart, quietly took out her mobile phone, wrote down Kim Do-joon's name, and then deleted it word by word, this is her habit, she likes to write things down on her phone, and then delete them word by word.

Taeyeon looked at the comments on the website, and they were basically positive, and many people had great doubts that a boy who was only nineteen years old could write such a song, thinking that he could not experience so much in his feelings and life, and how could he create such a meaningful song with lyrics without rich experience.

Under the explanation of the company's publicity department and Leessang's agent Lee Yong-chul, the draft created by Kim Do-jun was posted, and everyone gradually believed in Kim Do-joon's strength, and commented: "What a great, very powerful hiphop singer." ”

"I didn't expect a boy who looks so ordinary to write such a song, it's really surprising." Kim Tae-yeon hid under the covers and muttered quietly.

"Sister Taeyeon, why don't you sleep yet, what are you doing hiding under the covers, there is an announcement tomorrow?

Yuna suddenly heard a sound just now, got up and looked at Taeyeon's bed next to her, and found that Taeyeon was hiding in the quilt and still writhing, this weather, although the air conditioner is very cool, there is no need to hide in the quilt!

Yuna thought in a daze.

"Shhhh

Taeyeon made a "shhhh

After tidying up the quilt, Taeyeon lay down again, thinking about sitting in the nanny's car during the day, thinking about Kim Do-joon's painting for himself at the Han River Bridge, and about the first autograph signing to support him, one thing after another kept flashing in Taeyeon's mind like a painting.

I don't know why, I couldn't sleep for a long time, flipping back and forth.

It stands to reason that at the end of the day, I participated in a lot of announcements, and my body and mind should be very tired, but today I don't feel tired at all, as long as I close my eyes, I can see Kim Do-jun's face, although it is very ordinary, not handsome, there are more handsome artists in my own company, but Kim Do-jun is very comfortable to watch.

Suddenly, Kim Taeyeon thought of something, got up, gently opened the wardrobe, found the painting he treasured from it, slowly unfolded it, stroked himself in the painting, and suddenly felt extremely warm.

Although the lights have been turned off, the painting is not clear, and the light of the mobile phone is very small, Taeyeon seems to have seen it hundreds of times, and she can find herself in the painting accurately at once, and her index and middle fingers gently stroke from the top of the painting, as if a warm current moistens her heart, and her face becomes overflowing again, carefully tidying up the painting, closing the cabinet door, preparing to go to and from the toilet, and then sleeping.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that Sika was about to come out, and the two of them looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of panic in each other's eyes.

Taeyeon walked over slowly and asked, "Sika, why haven't you slept so late?" ”

"Come out and go to the bathroom, go to bed right away, what about you?" Sika said a little unnaturally.

"Like you, okay, it's not early, hurry up and go to bed, good night."

After saying that, Taeyeon went straight to the toilet, although she saw something unnatural in Sika's eyes, she didn't say it, after all, everyone has their own little secret.

Sika, like Taeyeon, was also thinking about Kim Do-joon, she wasn't sure if it was him who borrowed money from her, although she couldn't remember what he looked like, and blamed herself for not looking carefully at the beginning, but she just glanced at the name on his ID card as Kim Do-joon, but she left a shadow of him in her heart, because she didn't see it clearly, she always wanted to figure it out, so it gradually formed a cycle, and the more you can't see it, the more you want to know.

10,000 won is a small amount of money, but he immediately returned it to himself, and also instructed his sister at the front desk to hand it over to him, indicating that this person's reputation is very good and he is a trustworthy person.

In addition, during the autograph session, he brought the CD to himself for autographs, although his behavior was a little frivolous, but he took the initiative to support himself, which was also very happy.

Today in the nanny car, when I heard his name, I didn't react at the time, Sika's reaction was always one step slower than others, so everyone was doing their own thing, and she was the only one who was in a daze.

In fact, she was wondering in her heart whether Kim Do-jun in the radio was the Kim Do-jun she knew, and she didn't know it yet, but it was just a few faces.

So when Xiaoyuan was sleeping at night, he secretly used his mobile phone to check the news, because he was born in the United States, he usually likes to use communication tools, and he searched directly on Twitter, and found that there was his Twitter, and he almost called out.

Calm down your mood a little, click in and take a look, and when you look at Kim Do-joon's tweet, you know that the one who came to support him and lent him money was Kim Do-joon, who mentioned the Leessang group on the radio.

Twitter has the acceptance speech of "Popular Ballads" written by Do-joon, the photo is very clear, Sika recognized it at a glance, and carefully remembered Kim Do-joon's appearance in his mind before turning off his phone.

"It turns out that he also debuted as a singer, but I don't know which company it is? If you have the opportunity to ask, was the last time you came to the company for an interview?

Sika lies in bed and starts to think wildly, but she can't sleep because of her random thinking, so she meets Taeyeon later.

At this time, Kim Do-jun was busy preparing for the commercial performance, although there were only a few songs, it also needed to be practiced, so that he could cooperate with the tacit understanding, otherwise the performance would be messed up, which would be great.

Seven or eight announcements for three consecutive days, all of which were small commercial performances and performances, as well as temporary additions, and the income was not much, which was better than nothing.

Finally, only one last announcement remains, the club NB on Hongdae Road at night, located in Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

NB Club is a Hip Hop Club, which is why Leessang was invited to come and perform, NB started as a Techno Club and gradually developed into the most famous Hip Hop Club in Korea, almost synonymous with Hongdae Club, where you can feel the orthodox Hip Hop music.

Many foreign hiphop lovers like to visit here, entering the style of the dark club, that is, the large dance floor, high-quality sound, dazzling lighting, will make you immediately feel the excitement and excitement of the atmosphere,

The owner of this club is Yang Hyun-suk, the founder of YG, the founder of Korean hip-hop, which is why Lee Yong-cheol can't push off the announcement, and it has also cultivated countless high-level DJs and enjoys a reputation in the entire hip-hop world.

As soon as Gary and Ji heard this announcement, they immediately said that they wanted to come over and have a good discussion, and then have a drink, and finally had such an opportunity, if they didn't relax well, they would be sorry for themselves, both of them are alcoholics, which is also well-known in the Korean music industry.

When he came to the club, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and Kim Do-jun got dressed early and did his look, and he was ready to stay backstage in advance.

A lot of hip-hop artists come to the club today, but they just come to play and don't perform, and the only ones who participate in the show are Leessang and Epikhigh.

Epikhigh is the same as leessang, there are three people, two rappers and a dj group, tablo is the soul of Epikhigh, is the lead singer, rapper and captain, Jin looks a little chubby, has a beard, and is also a very good rapper, and the other looks white and tender is djtukutz is a dj and dancer.

Epikhigh debuted in 2003, and since his debut, he has developed a unique rap music style that is representative of the company, and because of tablo, he graduated from Stanford University's English School with perfect marks, which is very similar to Kim Do-joon, and with his poetry-like expression, witty performance, and super high lyric writing ability, it can be said that he has become a hiphop group that has been widely praised.

Tablo and Jin complete all the lyrics, Djtukutz has been in the DJ industry since 1995, has excellent composition, arranging talent and Korea's top DJ strength, so the three of them have been Leessang's biggest rivals since its inception, Leessang has lost to Epikhigh in several best hiphop groups, and I hope Kim Do-joon can change this situation after joining.

Naturally, it is impossible for the two parties to treat each other coldly, on the contrary, the relationship between everyone has always been good, these are reasonable competitions, and they both want to make their own contributions to hiphop music and be able to create better songs.

"tablo, you guys also released a new album this year, how are the results?" Gary asked, sitting in his chair.

"It's not bad, but it's probably a little worse than your new album."

Tablo said directly, he still has a little vision for this, as soon as he listens to the title song of Leessang's new album, he knows that this year's results can't be compared, rather than being told by others, it is better to take the initiative to admit it, and he also left a generous and decent impression.

"Hehe, you are humble, I really envy you, it is said that you have begun to prepare for next year's new album."

Ji said with a smile, but the laughter was really a little infiltrating, making people feel a little scary, and his voice was too low.

"You all know about this, it seems that the news is spreading quickly, well, it's already being created, but there are still some things missing, why are you interested in helping us create a song."

Jin said with a smile that the two of them were compared in the group, and their height, weight, appearance, and voice were all similar.

"Come, tablo, let me introduce to you, our new member Kim Do-joon, who also just returned from the United States, this time the title song is completely alone, independent lyrics and composition, how about it."

Gary said proudly, there is such a newcomer, and he does have face on his face, and beckoned Kim Dojun to come forward and say hello to Epikhigh.

"Hello, senior." Kim Do-joon took off his hat and sunglasses and said respectfully.

"Well, it's very young, the title song, it's very good, come on." After saying that, Tablo patted Kim Do-joon's shoulder.

"Thank you, senior, I will work hard." Kim Do-joon still said politely.

"Don't be too restrained, we all do hiphop music, it's not so regular, call me Brother Jin, call him Brother Tablo, as for the one next to him, call him Brother Zhengshi."

Jin said with a smile, the young man in front of him seemed to be too reserved, and he spoke too politely to be necessary.

"Okay, I got it."

"Gary, how about it, what I just said, why don't you cooperate once, help us create a song, and next time you have a new album, we will also help once, just to change the style, how about it?"

Tablo is the captain and soul of Epikhigh, basically what he said represents the attitude of the group, since they have been invited twice, will it be bad if they refuse, Gary is also thinking about it at this time, and his hand keeps touching his chin.

"OK, then we'll create a song, we'll contact you specifically, the price! It won't be very high, three percent lower than the market price, how?. ”

Gary thought about it and agreed, and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's settle it first, and I'll let the agent go to your company to sign the contract tomorrow, okay."

Tablo also said with a smile on his face, since it is said, then you have to sit on this matter, and the best way is to sign a contract.
