Chapter 45: Leessang

After a day of rest at home, Kim Do-jun felt a lot better, so he quickly called Brother Yongzhe to make an appointment to meet, and when he asked, they were both free today, so he made an appointment directly at Leessang's barbecue sausage restaurant.

Lee Yong-chul directly sent the address of the sausage restaurant to Han Sung-ho's mobile phone, and directly told Kim Do-jun that it was useless to know neither the drive nor the road.

"48-20 Hwhoyang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul."

After Han Chenghao looked at the address, he read it softly, thought about how to go, and beckoned Kim Dojun to hurry up, it is estimated that they should arrive in a while, especially as juniors, try to arrive as early as possible to leave a good impression on others, after all, you still have to cooperate, don't you?

After a while, Kim Do-joon and Han Sung-ho arrived at Leessang's barbecue restaurant, and it was not yet meal time, so there was basically no one, leaving the waiters to clean up, clean up the table, and wait for noon to greet customers.

As soon as Kim Do-joon entered the sausage shop, he found that the decoration of the store was very hip-hop, and the walls were full of artists' graffiti signatures, especially a very ugly person painted on the wall, with fat lips, sunglasses and a blue hat, holding a huge soju glass, extremely funny, and Kim Do-joon couldn't help but smile slightly.

This Leessang group really loves hip-hop music, and even the decoration of the whole store is like this, which is very much in line with their taste.

After Jin Daojun looked around, he casually found a place to sit down, Brother Yongzhe and they hadn't come over yet, they were probably still on the way, and they looked out the window and stunned.

Han Chenghao knew that Kim Do-jun's stomach was not comfortable, so he specially brought a portable cup and prepared to make a cup of brown rice tea for him, although the weather was very hot, it was still not suitable for drinking drinks, which Han Chenghao knew better than anyone else.

Brown rice tea in terms of taste, aroma, or nutritional value is greatly more than the traditional green tea drink, it has both the faint fragrance of green tea, and contains a special roasted rice fragrance, quiet and elegant, warm and mellow, for the current Kim Dojun is just right.

After a while, a black nanny car came over, and three people got out of the car, and at a glance, they knew that Yongzhe and the members of Leessang were coming, and Kim Do-jun also quickly got up and prepared to say hello.

"Brother Yongzhe, hello." Jin Daojun bowed slightly, according to his current identity, he didn't need to be like this, but Jin Daojun didn't want to change his mentality because of his net worth, he was still a newcomer in the music industry, maybe he couldn't even talk about a newcomer.

Han Chenghao just nodded slightly, even if he said hello, his relationship with Li Yongzhe does not need to bow and salute, the two have always been on an equal footing and getting along with each other.

"Daojun has arrived, it's very early, let me introduce you to the duo of Leessang, Kang Hee-jian and Ji Sung-jun, you can call them Brother Gary and Brother Ji or Brother Sung-jun."

As soon as Li Yongzhe finished speaking, he quickly retreated and chatted with Han Chenghao, leaving the three of them to say hello to each other, and suddenly the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, the three of them stood there without saying a word, Kim Dojun looked at the members of Leessang carefully, although he had already read the information and had a general understanding, but after seeing the real person, he realized that sometimes the things on the Internet were not real.

Judging from the clothes of the two people, they should be low-key and simple people, loose T-shirts, which look a little big and look very empty, Gary is a little thinner, likes to wear baseball caps and black sunglasses, and has a lot of tattoos on his body, especially on his arm, there is also a totem tattoo, but it looks cute.

As for Ji is a little fat, and he is also a lover of gentleman's hats and coffee-colored sunglasses, which is very similar to the two of them, just from a general understanding of the appearance, Kim Dojun hurriedly opened his mouth to greet.

"Brother Gary, Brother Ji, hello, I am a hiphop singer who has just signed a contract with the company, my name is Kim Dojun, please advise me when we meet for the first time."

As a junior of the company, Kim Do-joon is an unconditional ninety-degree bow.

"Well, hello, Brother Tiger had already called both of us yesterday, saying that he had found a good seedling with great potential, and had signed a contract as the company's preparatory debut singer, I heard that you wrote and composed lyrics and music alone, and you have created a song, when will we listen to it."

After Gary saw Kim Dojun's ninety-degree bow, he immediately felt better, as a senior, of course he would not put down his body to greet a junior, only the juniors took the initiative to greet him, this is the real entertainment industry, and there is a clear distinction between seniors and juniors.

Looking at the big boy in front of him, who was still a little young, greeting himself, Gary nodded and said.

"Gary, don't pretend to be a senior, embarrassed children, you are ten years older than others, Daojun, we will call you that in the future, don't treat us as seniors, as your own brother."

Ji is obviously like a honey pot, which is very suitable for enlivening the atmosphere of the scene, and when he saw that the atmosphere just now was a little embarrassing, he immediately made a joke about Gary.

Gary coughed embarrassedly twice, and quickly said, "Bad breath, do you need you to be my age in front of me?" You're not a year older than me, so sit down, don't stand. ”

With that, the five of them sat down around a long bench table.

"Daojun, would you like to have a glass of soju together at noon?"

Ji asked, he and Gary are both very fond of drinking shochu, and when there are no announcements or performances, they usually drive alone to go fishing, and sometimes they drink shochu while fishing, even if they don't have snacks, they drink the same taste.

"Brother Ji, I'm not an adult yet, I'm only nineteen years old this year, and I can't drink." Kim Do-jun looked at Ji and said embarrassedly, it is true that when eating and chatting, everyone drinks, but you are the only one who does not drink, which not only affects the atmosphere, but also makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Ah, Daojun is not an adult yet, it's a pity, that can only be drunk by the four of us." After speaking, he also let out a "hehe" laugh, which made the word "traitor" appear in people's minds.

Ji himself looks more disadvantaged because of his appearance, he looks old, and he has a lot of chin and beard, and he doesn't like to clean up, so he gives people a very sloppy feeling.

When Ji took off his hat, Kim Do-jun suddenly felt shiny in front of him, and when he looked up, he didn't know that Ji was bald, without a trace of hair, and he was cleanly shaved.

"Could it be that it is premature decay?"

Kim Do-joon's mind was full of speculation.

"Hey, what do you think? Thinking about it, by the way, listen to Brother Yongzhe, you came back from studying in the United States, and you still studied in a good university, why did you return to China to be a singer, and you are still a hiphop singer. ”

Gary sat directly across from Kim Do-joon, and suddenly became curious about the young boy in front of him, and asked.

"I just like it, I've always liked to listen to music, and by the way, I'm still a fan of Crystal Boy! Later, when I went to the United States, I have always liked black hip hop music, and I am determined to be a singer in the future, so now I can come back to fulfill one of my dreams! ”

Kim Do-jun said all his inner thoughts, there is nothing to avoid, if you really want to make a friend, but you yourself don't pay sincerely, how do you ask others to give you sincerity.

"Oh, I see, Brother Tiger said that you have finished writing a song, can you let me listen to it now?"

Gary touched his forehead, sweat came out just now, and wiped it gently.

Since yesterday, as soon as tigerjk said that the newly signed singer has created a very good song, Gary has always wanted to listen to it, this may be the difference between a singer and a musician, so Li Yongzhe said that when he met at noon, he agreed without hesitation, come and see what kind of potential singer Brother Tiger is talking about.

After Kim Do-jun heard Gary's request, he immediately agreed, and told Han Sung-ho to go to the car to get the laptop, he had already copied the sample, and now just put it on the computer for them to listen to.

Han Sung-ho retrieved the computer and put it on the dining table, Kim Do-joon turned on the computer, clicked on the music file, and everyone began to listen quietly.

Kim Do-joon watched Gary and Ji's expressions change, and he was guessing their reactions.

In fact, in terms of rhythm and melody, this song can only be regarded as a good work, not the best, after all, there are still a lot of small problems that I haven't found, and tiger doesn't have time to help me revise it, but after the lyrics, I really feel very good, as if I wrote the voice of the clown, and it also reflects the reality of this society, which is why tiger said why this song is good, and the melody of the song alone will not be valued.

After listening to more than three minutes of songs, Gary and Ji didn't speak, one kept touching his hair, and the other was touching his bald head, Kim Do-jun suddenly felt funny when he looked at the two of them, and the picture was very matched, without a sense of disobedience, maybe that's why they have been teaming up since 2002.

Five years is a watershed moment for a group, and the vast majority of Korean groups are disbanded within the five-year curse, and HOT is the most obvious example, once the five years have passed, there will be various problems, conflicts between members and companies, problems between members and members, military service after getting older, and new groups that have come from behind, all of which are the reasons why the group is facing dissolution.

Leessang's group has been very good until now, and there are many factors in this, not only the relationship between artists, but also between artists and companies, artists and agents, they are all very harmonious, and both of them are singer-songwriters, and they are often not in the public eye, and they don't have so much exposure, so they have always been very stable in developing and writing songs, which is also very envied by Kim Do-joon.

Suddenly, an idea came to Kim Do-joon's mind, although he was very bold, but he didn't know if he could give it a try.

It took a long time for Gary to speak: "Daojun, I didn't expect you to be able to write such lyrics at the age of nineteen, I think I can't write it at my age now, you look at society too thoroughly, I feel that I can't hide it from your eyes, although the clown is smiling on the stage, he is actually crying on stage, just like a singer, every day to catch up with all kinds of announcements, no matter how big or small, how much money, as long as the company continues, even if I am sick and on a drip, I have to rush over, I am very tired every day, but I have to smile at the media and the audience, Sadness and pain are known only to oneself, and this is the real clown. ”

Gary said a lot at once, and directly said the center point of the lyrics of this song, and Kim Do-joon had to admire Gary's vision.

The reason why the Leessang group is harmonious is because the two people have different division of labor, Gary is mainly responsible for lyrics, and Ji is mainly responsible for composing, which can solve many problems and contradictions, the two people will not fight in their respective areas of expertise, and they both have their own favorite hobbies, so they are also handy to cooperate.

Gary is mainly responsible for making rap, and Ji is the lead singer, Gary's Rap has its own characteristics, usually speaking with a little nasal, just like when they are communicating, they will unconsciously add a little nasal, and when rapping, they will completely integrate their feelings into it, and the rhythm is very good, all on their own beat, it looks a little draggy, but it has its own unique style.

Ji is the lead singer of Leessang, the first time you hear Leessang's songs, you will be unconsciously attracted by his voice, hoarse, painful voice, as if everything happened to him, full of vicissitudes, and through his throat sound, containing his own feelings, so the cooperation of the two people is more perfect.

"Brother Gary, Brother Ji, I wonder if I can discuss something with you." Kim Do-joon asked suddenly.
