Chapter 29 The Broker

When we do many things, we always say that we should keep a normal mind. But a normal mind is really not so easy to maintain.

===================================

Time ticked away...

After seeing Lee Soo-man, Kang Jae-hee's daily life is basically practicing singing. She sits in Yu Yongzhen's studio for a while, chats, or asks Yu Yongzhen for some questions, and then goes to Park Jung-soo and the others during the break to play with him. She will definitely text messages with Kim Taeyeon every night, not necessarily many, but there will definitely be.

A monotonous but not boring life is also considered fulfilling.

Kang Jae-hee himself also knew that what he had to do now was to continue to polish himself, because he didn't know what he would make his debut.

In mid-September, the temperature in Seoul was no longer so hot. You had to wear long-sleeved clothes at night, and sometimes even a jacket.

Kang Jae-hee, who had only a few school days, now he is about to debut, so he has more reason not to go to school. The teachers are used to Kang Jae-hee's behavior. After all, this was the case for more than a year. The management of students in high school is much more relaxed than that in elementary and junior high schools. Although it is not as free as college, as long as you can pass the final exam smoothly, there is no reason for the school to have to go to class.

On this day, Kang Jae-hee was practicing singing in the practice room. Park Xiang-yeol walked in with a man who could not tell the age from his face and knew that he must be an adult.

"Jang Jae-hee, please take a break first." Park Xiangyeo interrupted Kang Jae-hee's practice and said.

Kang Jae-hee knew more and more about what was going on, so she turned off the music and looked at the two of them.

"This is Han Se-hyun, who used to be the assistant of BOA. In the future, he will be your agent and be responsible for everything after your debut." Park Sang-yeol just briefly introduced and stopped talking. He did not say why BOA's assistant would be Kang Jae-hee's agent.

In fact, let alone BOA's focus is mainly on Japan. With BOA's current position in the Korean music industry, as long as the company releases a statement that BOA wants to release an album in South Korea, there is no need for an agent to help her contact the program. If an assistant who seems to be able to be an agent in the company's opinion is idle, it will be a waste if it is always idle. Originally, Han Shixian was determined to be the agent of the girl group at the end of 2004. It was just because of Lee Soo-man's words that Yu Yongzhen greeted her. The company decided to let him be Kang Jae-hee's agent.

The man smiled and stretched out his hand to Kang Jae-hee.

"Hello, Kang Jae-hee XI. We will work together in the future."

Kang Jae-hee stretched out her hand and shook it with him.

"I hope I will take care of you more in the future."

"Haha, I won't say much about polite words. We have time to get to know each other in the future." Han Shixian smiled and said, "Let's talk about your arrangements first. The company has already negotiated with SBS. You will debut on SBS's popular songs. The recording time is on the 23rd of this month. It is now on the 10th, and the company will start promoting you in 3 days. The CD is already being produced."

"So fast?" Kang Jae-hee said subconsciously.

"Haha, this is the first time I have heard someone think he has made a debut quickly." Han Shixian couldn't help but smile. He felt that the young man in front of him was very interesting. In the years of his life, he has also seen many trainees' reactions that they knew they were about to debut. Some were happy, some were surprised, and some were excited, but this was the first time that Jiang Jae-hee had subconsciously reacted so quickly.

"Uh, that's not what I mean..." Kang Jae-hee smiled embarrassedly.

"Time is really tight because you need to shoot an MV."

"I still want to shoot an MV?" Kang Jae-hee reacted subconsciously again...

"Don't you want to shoot MVs? Let others listen to your voice and not see you?" Han Se-hyun became more and more interested in Kang Jae-hee. Well... it's not that kind of interest...

"I mean, I haven't taken acting class, so I'm going to make an MV, that's not great."

"It doesn't matter. I probably read the script, and you don't need to play much. And you know your songs, and you don't need any acting burst."

Kang Jae-hee thought about it and said that the title song "Poetry of Post-Adolescent", which was positioned as the title song, is not as sad as the traditional Korean lyrics. He nodded and he still knows how to pose and do it. He doesn't have much fear of the camera, so he will just listen to the director's words at that time.

"The other thing is that the company positioned you as a genius-like young man with talented creative talent. "A Man" has been very popular recently. So the company also feels that it will get a better response when it launches you at this time." The management of the company knew that Kim Jong Kook's song was created by a trainee in his company. So it is not surprising that Han Se-hyun knew about this.

"Then I'm not going to say hello to Brother Jong Kwok," Kang Jae-hee asked.

"This is why I want to tell you about this. The company should have informed him. However, it may be better if you have a relationship with him." In fact, with the status of S.M, there is no need to say hello to Kim Jong Kook at all.

But the Korean entertainment industry is a very strange world, and the relationship between the previous and the juniors has nothing to do with their status and achievements. If you don’t say hello to Kim Jong Kook and just promote it directly, it is nothing. But if the media reporter first asks Kim Jong Kook and then asks Kim Jong Kook, and the other party doesn’t know in advance, it will definitely cause some trouble. If a person with a smaller mind is deliberately making things difficult in the show in the future, it will turn a good thing into a bad thing. After all, from now on, Kim Jong Kook has completely risen. As for his personality, people who have never been in contact with him will naturally consider it from the worst aspect.

"Oh, okay, I'll talk to him later." Kang Jae-hee planned to talk to Kim Jong Kook when he was alone.

"Well, I'm older than you, so I just called you Jae Hee. We may have to work together for quite a while in the future. So many times, you need to contact others when I'm here, and even when you chat with your girlfriend, I will be there. So you don't need to avoid me and talk to the phone, let alone talk about business." Han Se-hyun saw that Kang Jae Hee didn't want to call in front of them, so he said.

On the one hand, it is better to have a meeting at the beginning, and will spend a long time together in the future. When everyone is not in love, it will not destroy their feelings and trust. Secondly, in South Korea, agents can completely control artists, especially artists in the early stages of their debut. Of course, this is only in terms of status and voice, but most agents will not implement similar militarized management of artists who have just debuted. No one knows what the future development of artists will be. Once artists become general trend, the status of agents and artists will begin to be reversed. It is not wise to offend artists to start this satisfaction. But no matter what, in the early stage, the experience, experience, and the representative company of agents all allow agents to take the initiative when they get along with artists.

Han Se-hyun also knew that Kang Jae-hee was a student of Yu Yongzhen and was a person that Lee Soo-man valued. But through his own observations, he could feel that Kang Jae-hee was not a very domineering young man. And although what he said might be a bit heavier, it was entirely for the sake of Kang Jae-hee's goodness. Even if Kang Jae-hee didn't appreciate it and secretly ran to Yu Yongzhen to complain or something, Han Se-hyun was not worried that Yu Yongzhen or Lee Soo-man would punish him for this.

After hearing Han Se-hyun's words, Kang Jae-hee also realized that this really requires oneself to adapt. The agent can say that the person he must trust is sometimes even higher than his family.

So he nodded. "Okay, I'll just fight."

Seeing Kang Jae-hee was not dissatisfied, but instead accepted it humbly. Han Se-hyun did not show any smug or satisfied expression. In fact, the artists launched by S.M Company may not always be the highest in terms of strength or response. But on average, singing, dancing, appearance, etiquette, and other various conditions required by artists. S.M Company must be the most comprehensive.

After the phone was connected, Kim Jong Kook's unique voice came over.

"Jiahee, why did you suddenly contact me?" The most contact was during the time when Kim Jong Kook recorded the album. The contact was not very close afterwards, but it would be just occasionally. However, since July, Kang Jaehee has had a lot of things, so she has never contacted Kim Jong Kook again. When he suddenly called, Kim Jong Kook knew that something must be wrong.

"Uh, Brother Jong Kwok, hello. That's right, I'm going to make a debut." Kang Jae-hee was organizing the words.

"Oh! Really! That's great. We can go on the show together in the future." If you say too much, it's just a polite thing.

"Then I will take care of me more in the future."

"Haha, that's for sure, but seeing Jae-hee, you are almost as mature as me in your usual words and actions, I guess I can't take much care of you." Kim Jong Kook's voice was very delicate and a little funny.

"I don't have as much as you said, I just have less facial expressions. I have no experience in variety shows. Brother, you should teach me more," said Kang Jae-hee.

"There is not much to teach that. It's just a smile when it's time to laugh. Just remember the words on the platform and don't be too nervous." After so many years of debut, Kim Jong Kook's words are very insightful.

As a newcomer, the key to your variety show is not to be more funny and eye-catching. Instead, you can keep up with the rhythm of the show and make the most basic response. Moreover, as a newcomer, everyone is not familiar with you. If you make a slightly overdone joke, it will not only not become the focus, but the biggest possibility is that this segment will either be re-recorded or CUT-dropped, and you will also make everyone think that you are a newcomer is not good. Of course, if you have an acquaintance with you, it will naturally be much better.

"Anyway, if you do a show with me, you must take care of me." Kang Jae-hee has fully utilized her age advantage. After talking so much, it's time to get into the topic. So Kang Jae-hee continued: "By the way, brother. In the promotion of me, the company may mention that I am the creator of "A Man". This will not cause any trouble to me."

"Of course not." Kim Jong Kook immediately understood the reason why Kang Jae-hee made the call. "It turned out to be for this. It's nothing. You were the creator of this song. It just so happened that I would use this song to hit the charts now. This would be the best promotion effect."

"It would be better if it didn't cause trouble for me. I'll feel at ease."

"By the way, where is your debut stage?"

“Popular songs from SBS.”

"when?"

"Recorded this month on the 23rd."

"I'm here that day, too, and I can take you with me."

"That's so thankful, brother."

"Haha, I'm so kind of polite to say thank you. Then see you that day, remember to bring the CD, I want to listen to the songs you kid wrote for yourself."

"Okay, then I won't bother you."

After hanging up the phone, Kang Jae-hee said, "No problem. Brother Jong Kook said it's okay."

"Okay, then let's do it today. You can continue practicing. I'll come to you tomorrow." Han Se-hyun nodded. In addition to Kang Jae-hee, he will be busier as an agent. Although there is a big tree in S.M, it depends on the agent's own means for more programs and when they can be on.

For example, the relationship between S.M and SBS TV in the program "X-MAN" may be very good, but those who can appear on this program are also very popular and have certain strength artists. So maybe the artists of S.M can appear on this program, but the problem is that the results may be completely different in this episode or the next episode. Moreover, the TV station belongs to the TV station, but the program has a separate person in charge. Whoever gives more shots and who takes less shots. Even the degree of care for MC is different, the effect is completely different.

This depends entirely on the means and ability of the agent. It is a good thing to lean on the big tree. But compared to the small tree, the probability of being struck by lightning is greater... Risks and opportunities coexist, which is what we are talking about.

After Park Sang-yeol and Han Se-hyun left, Kang Jae-hee did not continue practicing as soon as possible.

After all, his debut will still have a great impact on him.

I slowly lay down, looked at the ceiling, and felt the cold floor.

Really debuted.
