Im not giving up my title

Guys, can you come up to the conference room for a minute?

Sure.

The members of Awy,, who were preparing for the stages of the songs for their world tour next year, headed to the office on the ground floor at the call of their manager, Lim Jin-woo.

This isnt the conference room, is it? Thats the presidents office over there?

Why is the president calling us all of a sudden? Its scary.

The members stared blankly at the plaque on the door that said president. They had only been to the presidents office once, when they had caused a scandal with Jujak.

Did we do something wrong again?

Park Jin-hyuk, who felt his feet go numb for no reason, swallowed his saliva and Lim Jin-woo smiled faintly.

Its not that. Lets go in.

Lim Jin-woo knocked on the door and opened it after a brief pause.

Hello, president.

Lee Byung-hun greeted them with a bright smile. Awy was now the pillar of BHL Entertainment in name and reality, so Lee Byung-hun felt like he saw a halo behind the members.

Did you come? Hows the practice going?

Yes.

The members sat down with a nervous look on their faces. It was rare for Lee Byung-hun to call them like this, rather than visiting the practice room where Awu was.

Lee Byung-hun laughed at the expression of the members.

I didnt call you because of bad news You know youre going to do a reality show, right?

The one that goes on MyTube? We know that.

The members nodded their heads. All the overseas schedules were planned for next year, so they were going to focus on domestic activities this year.

They had finished their album activities and were filling their schedules with commercials and events, as well as shooting their own content for the fans.

Thats been canceled.

Then isnt that bad news?

Park Seo-dam frowned. It would have been better to leave some breadcrumbs for the domestic fans while they were on tour.

[Did something better come in?]

Probably.

Ian waited silently until Lee Byung-hun opened his mouth.

Instead of your own content, a broadcasting station will air your reality show. JBTC, broadcast time is Saturday 8 p.m.

Wow, really?

Weekend prime time. The members opened their mouths in astonishment.

Whos directing it?

You guys know him well, PD Lee Jong-soo.

Kim Ju-young slightly frowned.

Ah, is that PD going to do something like horror special again? I really hate scary things.

Its going to be different this time.

Lee Byung-hun handed out a paper that summarized the PDs proposal in one page.

Lets do a survival show.

What?

The members looked at Lee Byung-hun with a dumbfounded face and reached out for the proposal.

Ah, lets look at it together.

Dont compete with this.

The members pushed and shoved each other to see the proposal first. In the end, they gathered behind Kim Hyun, who had grabbed the paper, and looked over the proposal.

Songwriting survival?

Huh. Hyung, youre our leader.

Kim Ju-young tapped the shoulders of Lee Joo-hyuk and Park Jin-hyuk.

The weekend prime time show of JBTC, Our time, was a music show, which was PD Lee Jong-soos specialty.

But were seven, so one person will be left out, right?

Well have to see how the teams are formed when we start filming. This PD will do a good job.

This PD had accepted Lee Byung-huns suggestion of a songwriting survival, as long as it didnt interfere with his own plan.

If its PD Lee Jong-soo, I can trust him.

He wasnt thrilled when he heard the word survival, but it was different if it was this PD.

It was a cable channel, but it was a weekend prime time show, and it was only Awy who appeared, and PD Lee Jong-soo had also highlighted each member well in the previous reality show of Awy, earning the trust of the fans.

[Its pretty serious for an idol show.]

It sounds fun. But its a competition, so there must be some prize, right?

The members who were the main songwriters, Lee Joo-hyuk, Park Jin-hyuk, and Kim Joo-young, were the leaders, and they would form teams and work on songs that would be judged by a famous producer and voted by the viewers.

President, what do you give to the winning team?

Lee Byung-hun smiled slyly at Ians question.

The next album title.

The members, who had been excited about the new show until then, had a serious look on their faces.

Title?

Yes, Im going to make sure you can compete only with the songs youve worked on.

Lee Byung-hun smiled as if he knew the atmosphere would change in an instant.

Ill personally arrange the external judges. And the viewer voting will be based only on listening to the songs.

It was inevitable that it would turn into a popularity vote if there were popular members in the team. Thats why they were going to keep it a secret who worked on the songs.

But isnt it a bit unfair for me to be the leader?

Kim Ju-young, who had been worrying about something, muttered softly.

Why are you saying that? Youre suspicious already.

Is he already laying the groundwork?

Ian and Jo Tae-woong teased Kim Ju-young, who was already nervous.

There was hardly a song in Awys album that the songwriting members didnt touch. The album came out in a short period of time, so they worked on the songs in a division of labor rather than one person making them alone.

Kim Ju-young also participated in the songwriting as an assistant to Lee Joo-hyuk and Park Jin-hyuk, but he hadnt worked on anything by himself except for remixes.

Unfair? Ju-young, Im having a hard time too.

Do you think we have such a big gap in skills that you need a handicap, a handicap?

Lee Joo-hyuk and Park Jin-hyuk sighed deeply. Park Seo-dam and Jo Tae-woong, who were not songwriters, had already complained.

Shouldnt we get the handicap, hyung?

Right. Do we do anything like writing lyrics? Arent they going to bully us if were on the same team as the leaders?

Ian smiled faintly.

It wouldnt be bad to try participating in songwriting this time.

Choi Ian, hes a bit trained, so hes relaxed.

Kim Hyun grumbled and hit Ians shoulder.

I think its not just songwriting

Ian didnt miss Lee Byung-huns meaningful expression for a moment.

[Usually they show the stage at the end of this kind of thing. Dont we have to do the choreography and concept ourselves?]

Oh, no.

[But its amazing. It doesnt seem like a good idea to divide the sides like this.]

He had improved his dancing skills to the point where he could follow along, but choreography creation was a different field. Ian frowned slightly as Lee Joo-hyuk raised his hand.

Then when do we start filming?

Soon. Anyway, be prepared for that. The manager will let you know the detailed schedule.

The members who left the presidents office went back to the practice room, chatting with each other.

Isnt it just like riding a bus if we have Lee Park Kim as the leaders?

I saw the proposal earlier and the songwriting survival is like one episode? There were other things too, right? What was it masked busking?

Huh, what is that? It sounds fun.

But why did the president suddenly do a survival?

It was strange that the president called them and hinted at a group variety schedule. The Awi members also knew well that Lee Byung-hun hated survival-type shows.

Did the songwriting survival come from the presidents idea?

Ian couldnt erase his nervous expression. Suddenly, Lee Joo-hyuk, who was standing next to Ian, muttered to himself.

I have to be very nervous.

Hyung? Why?

He had a lot of experience, and Lee Joo-hyuk had been learning songwriting since he was a trainee, and he had also worked on a lot of good songs that could be the title in a short period of time.

You dont know because you havent worked with them, but those two are no joke.

Really?

Lee Joo-hyuk rarely hardened his expression. There was a share of contribution in songwriting. Lee Joo-hyuk had the highest contribution among them, and after he got out of the producing of Black Rush Jung Se-jun in the early debut, there was no song that Lee Joo-hyuk didnt touch.

Im not giving up my title.

Thats why youre our leader.

Ian chuckled. He liked the way he didnt get complacent and kept working hard.

***

Yes! That was good!

The Awy members wore white sweaters and held gift boxes, looking at the camera. The sound of Jo Tae-woong mumbling something made the members laugh out loud. The photographer didnt miss that moment.

Theyre comfortable. No abuse of power from the agency, theyre polite and diligent models.

Didnt the atmosphere just get really good?

The staff looked at Awy, who were working hard, with a pleased expression.

The higher the level of the advertising model, the more ambiguous the position of the advertiser became. Awy was the number one choice for advertisers in the advertising industry these days.

As the level increased, so did the advertising fee, but honestly, the advertising fee was not a problem compared to the profit they got from using the advertising model.

The problem was that sometimes the agency of the advertising model made unreasonable demands to the advertiser. They said things like, how can you do this much with this level of star, or the photo results are weird.

I wish we could work with them again.

BHL Entertainment had also reviewed the advertising plan in advance, but they didnt say anything like that. From the perspective of the staff, it was a very good company to do advertising with.

Yes, were done shooting!

Thank you!

The Awy members bowed their waists. They gladly accepted the requests of the people who asked for photos and signatures. They were in a good mood.

Were shooting an ad for a duty-free shop.

We made it, we made it.

This will be hung up big at the airport later.

Thats awesome.

They had seen the ads of the top stars on the airport billboard every time they left the country, and wondered if they would ever be like that. Thats why it felt more real to them.

Do we have a meeting at the broadcasting station later?

I wonder what theyre going to do. Wouldnt this PD do a good job for us?

No, you cant trust this PD.

Kim Ju-young hardened his expression as he remembered the last reality show of Awy.

-What do you think Awys Our Time will be like?

Maybe something like camping and healing, since the interview was heartbreaking

Ju-young became a hot topic after his rural life, maybe something similar

I wish it was PD Lee Jong-soo

If its Lee Jong-soo, wouldnt it be music?

-But do they do a healing reality show for idols on Saturday at 8 p.m.?

And only them?? Thats a special favor even for a cable channel

Its Awy

Honestly, theyre doing well now, JBTC is smart

They dont have Zugeudol, so they say its a favor
