Chapter 12: The Future of Kim Jong Kook (1)

In the health club, with the sound of heavy breathing, a figure kept sitting up and falling. Time passed, and the person just repeated the same action, even if he was sweating, there was no intention of stopping.

With the sound of the door opening, a person walked in and said, "Zhong Guo, it's almost over, just rest when it's time to rest, what should I do if I'm tired?" Seeing that the man ignored it, he shrugged his shoulders in an American manner, found what he was going to take, and turned around and went out.

Hearing the footsteps disappear completely, the man doing sit-ups fell heavily on the floor, ignoring his tired body covered in sweat, and his eyes were empty thinking about his thoughts.

With an angular face, narrowed eyes, wide, thick lips, slightly curly hair, bronzed skin and a burly figure, this person is Kim Jong Kook, the lead singer and choreographer of the popular South Korean group Turbo.

I am really tired, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired. Since his debut, five years have passed unconsciously. Although he was radiant on the stage, he could no longer find the happiness he had at the beginning. Maybe it's the slackness after becoming famous, or maybe it's the numbness of the lights, but now I'm standing on the stage, and I no longer have the passion I used to have.

I still remember that when Kim Jong-nam's eldest brother taught him to sing and dance little by little, and took him to the debut stage, the scene of the mountain roaring and tsunami is still vivid. The two of them move forward hand in hand, overcome all kinds of difficulties, and step by step towards glory.

I still remember when I got the first place, the two hugged each other and had blurred tears. Kim Jong-nam's eldest brother kept saying words of thanks excitedly, but he couldn't say anything, like a fool.

But no one knew that the wish he silently made at that time was that the two of them would continue like this.

The reality is always too cruel, I originally thought that after becoming a star, I could enjoy that kind of high-profile and glorious life.

It's a pity that the two were greeted only with heavy schedules and endless announcements. No time off, no friends, no private life, and even being with family is a luxury.

The greedy boss always hopes that the two of them can make more money back, and constantly increases the itinerary for the two. If it's just these, they can endure it for the sake of their beloved cause.

However, something even more excessive, the two were asked to perform like clowns at high-level gatherings, writhing with the expressions of others looking at dogs. At that moment, Kim Jong Kook's mood was unprecedentedly gloomy. I believe that the same is true of Kim Jong-nam's big brother.

The two of them, who couldn't bear it, finally decided to run away. Although the escape Zuihou ended in failure, the hardened Kim Jong-nam brother could not reach a compromise with the company and withdrew from the group.

At that time, on the one hand, I wanted to leave with my eldest brother who had been taking care of me, but on the other hand, I was reluctant to leave the stage full of dreams. During those days, I wandered in tangles and confusion every day. Under the pressure of reality, he had to break his original oath.

After this incident, the company rearranged a baby-faced boy with a good RAP, Zhao Mingji from the United States, and formed a partner with him. Turbo is back on the road, and he has changed from being taken care of by others to being the eldest brother and captain who has to take care of others. With a vision for the future and a responsible heart, Kim Jong Kook led the group to embark on a new voyage. After going through an ordeal, he believes that there must be a rainbow ahead.

It's a pity that reality is not fiction, and there are not so many good things to comfort people.

Since Zhao Mingji grew up in the United States, he has no understanding of Korean traditions and customs. often inadvertently, they do things that offend others.

For the sake of his and the group's future, Kim Jong Kook had to patiently teach him what to pay attention to in the limited time he had to pay attention to in addition to the hard trip. For example, don't talk to people you don't know, salute when you see an elder, take the initiative to pour wine as a junior when socializing, don't be nostalgic for the sake of the group's image, etc., Kim Jong Kook can't remember how much he said.

However, Zhao Mingji does not think so, he has an American-style idea of equality in his bones. I always felt that the two people in the group were on equal footing, and Kim Jong Kook had no right to lecture him.

Every time Kim Jong Kook's hard work is exchanged for his impatience, and in private, the two don't know how many times they quarreled. Although on stage, Turbo is still the Turbo that works together seamlessly. It's just that behind the camera, the two people are already strangers.

This state of affairs has been going on for more than two years, and Kim Jong Kook can no longer endure this life. It's just that under the pressure of the company, he has nothing to do.

However, this time things took a turn for the better, the company and the head office were reorganized, and the former president also resigned, so maybe the current company can talk better.

Kim Jong Kook made up his mind and was ready to express his thoughts to the top. He didn't want to live this tormented life for a minute.

Just as Kim Jong Kook was cheering himself up, he knew that a small meeting about his future was being held in the executive office of A.P.

The meeting was attended by a small number of people, with only President Kim Young-min, Executive Director Choi Jung-won, and Director Han Sung-ho. But enough, these three people can decide everything in the company.

Cui Zhengyuan, as a landlord, sat opposite the two guests after offering tea to the two guests and elders.

"Zhengyuan, is there anything big about coming to us in such a hurry? Don't you know that we're all so busy right now, we're just lacking in skills." Han Chenghao is the oldest, and he was the first to cry out for bitterness. Everything is difficult at the beginning, each of them is a big mess, and they can't wait to divide people into several parts to use.

"Oh? Didn't you already have all the assistants?" Cui Zhengyuan asked inexplicably.

Jin Yingmin shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not a little trouble for such a large company to integrate. Besides, we have to keep track of the renovation progress of the new building at any time, so that we can adjust our work, can we not be tired?"

"That's it, we're all running errands, how can we be like you, just sit here and give instructions", Han Chenghao echoed, and the words changed, "Anyway, I'm also a composer, weishenme I still have to take care of administrative affairs"?

Cui Zhengyuan smiled, "No way, who made you a permanent director, you have to ask about the company's big and small situations."

All three of them were in a hurry, and they got down to business.

Kim Young-min asked: "Jeongwon, you called us over, do you have any plans for the company's artists?"

Hearing him say this, Han Chenghao also became focused. Don't look at the company is still under construction, but there can be no delay in the artist. In the entertainment industry, time is money. Especially in the Korean entertainment industry, the speed of renewal is too fast, and every company has to work hard to create a good publicity environment for its artists.

Cui Zhengyuan sat up straight, "Yes, our company has just been established, and it must be an instant hit, so this action is mainly about turbo."

"Oh, ready to release a new album for turbo"? Han Sung-ho is a composer himself, and he is most concerned about such things.

"To be precise, it's the release of a new album for Kim Jong Kook." Choi Jeong-won explained.

"Kim Jong Kook"? Kim Young-min was puzzled and asked unconvincedly, "Could it be that you are going to disband turbo?"

Cui Zhengyuan nodded, confirming his guess. Now they are the leading singers under the company, so I learned more about the specific situation." After a pause, he took a sip of tea, "What do you say?" Kim Jong Kook and Cho Myung Ji have a strained relationship, and I don't think there's any need for them to continue working together."

Han Sung-ho raised his own question, "Why did Weishenme choose Kim Jong Kook?" After all, Zhao Mingji is younger and has a better image."

Choi Jung-won said, I can tell you that the Kim Jong Congress won the only "triple crown" in South Korean history. explained on his lips: "Kim Jong Kook's strength is stronger, and his voice is very distinctive, so if he is solo, it is easier to gain a firm foothold." In addition, Zhao Mingji: I heard that he has a bad temper and is not very accustomed to Korean life, so it is easy to offend people. If such a person is released, I am afraid it will be difficult to do anything."

Kim Young-min and Han Sung-ho both had a preliminary understanding of the situation of their artists, and knew that what Choi Jung-won said was the truth, so they agreed with him. "Then how does Zhao Mingji arrange it?" Han Chenghao asked.

Kim Young-min said his thoughts, "I heard that he has good rap skills, ask his opinion, can he be a rap teacher for trainees?" If he does not agree, the company is free to terminate the contract with him."

Cui Zhengyuan saw that both of them supported his idea, so he made a decision, "Then I will make an appointment with the two of them tomorrow to settle the matter."

"Wait", Han Sung-ho still has questions, "Kim Jong Kook has a new album, will the songs be completed by our music production studio?" Isn't the time a little too tight, I still have so many mundane things to do, I'm afraid it's hard to make a masterpiece."

Cui Zhengyuan smiled proudly, took out a thick notebook from the drawer, flipped to a page, and handed it to Han Chenghao, "I knew you would say that, I have prepared the title song, and you can make some of the rest yourself, buy some more outside, and the album will be almost there."

Han Chenghao took the notebook in a daze and asked in surprise: "No, Zhengyuan, you can still write songs?"

Touching his nose, Cui Zhengyuan said vaguely: "I learned some when I was a child, and I wasn't too proficient, but I should be able to get by." How about you take a look first? Can you get into the eyes of a great musician?"

Afraid that he would have to ask again, Cui Zhengyuan urged.

Han Chenghao suppressed his curiosity, lowered his head and concentrated on studying. Kim Young-min on the side kept staring at Choi Jung-won, as if he had flowers on his face.

This little guy is really surprising! Jin Yingmin sighed secretly: "Let me wait and see, see how many hidden skills you have as a wicked boy!"
