Chapter 210:
You two do the next song.
[What?]
Jin was startled by Ians thought and pressed the shutter. Ian had a determined expression on his face.
Ill tell Joo-hyuk hyung that I want to take the lead on the next song.
[What?]
Jin did not understand.
[Why? Its fine as it is. Youre not doing nothing.]
Although Joo-hyuk was in charge, Kim Hyun and Ian were not completely hands-off. Jin thought Ian was participating well enough.
Its not enough. I need to try something new.
[This is driving me crazy.]
Park Seo-dam was inspired by Kim Joo-youngs serious effort and challenged herself to rap, which she had never done before.
Ian had been leaving the composing and producing to the other members since he became an actor.
He wanted to focus on the group work and acting, and he thought composing a whole song was not his job.
But now
[Do you want to say that we dont need to divide the positions?]
Yes.
Actually, he had a lingering memory of the last song they worked on as Diamond, which remained unfinished. He unconsciously avoided composing because of that.
That song was reborn, too. Maybe its time to try again?
[I dont get it.]
Jin, who wanted to enjoy his life, was annoyed by Ians determination.
***
They finished their meal and outdoor shooting and went back to their houses.
Ugh Im tired.
Joo-hyuk lay down on the bed right away. The good thing was that he had some time to sleep after finishing one song. He was staring blankly at the ceiling when he suddenly got up.
Should we clean this up before we sleep?
Kim Hee-sang and Lee Hyun-ah were coming tomorrow. They were senior singers in the music industry and a solo singer who was breaking records in Korea. They couldnt show them a messy place.
Huh? I hear music from the next room.
Kim Hyun, who was picking up a pillow, said. Joo-hyuk and Ian rushed to the window.
This is the house where Jin-hyuk and Seo-dam are, right?
Yeah.
The three of them put their ears close to the window and listened to the sound of the next team. The variation was unusual.
Is that Seo-dam?
Someone was mumbling, but they couldnt hear clearly. It seemed like they were rapping, judging by the fast tempo.
They looked at each other with puzzled expressions after listening for a while.
Wow, what kind of song is this?
I know Jin-hyuk hyung is trying something new, but
They only know that.
They wondered if they had tried too hard to do something new.
Did he write something weird? Like a song thats super long
Kim Hyun said it without thinking, but that was the right answer.
They started to discuss the next song while cleaning the house.
What should we do for the next song?
Well
As they were almost done, Ian said what he had in mind.
Joo-hyuk hyung.
Yeah?
Can Hyun hyung and I do the next song?
Kim Hyun was surprised and looked at Ian. Ian met Joo-hyuks eyes and he seemed to realize something. He made a face as if he had been hit and nodded.
Sure, go ahead.
Wow.
Kim Hyun turned his head and looked at Lee Joo-hyuk. Ian was sitting in front of the monitor, excited, and Lee Joo-hyuk was sitting next to him to help.
Suddenly?
Kim Hyun stood there blankly, staring at them.
What do you mean, suddenly, both of you?
Hyun, dont you want to do it?
No, I cant be left out.
He sat down on Ians left. He still didnt understand and frowned.
Do you know what Bluemic hyung told me earlier?
Lee Joo-hyuk opened his mouth with difficulty. Ian and Kim Hyun looked up at him.
He said my color is too strong. But I dont know if I can bring out your personalities if I produce the next song in this state.
Lee Joo-hyuk had some homework left. The advice from Choi Jimin to try different things and the comment from Bluemic that his color was strong, both meant the same thing.
I know its not a bad thing, but
Its not suitable for the current situation.
Right, thats it. Its teamwork. You guys can do it too.
They couldnt waste this opportunity when senior singers came as mentors. It was better to put aside personal things and make choices that would help the team activities.
I think Ill find the answer if I watch you guys work.
He had been frustrated until a moment ago, but his mind cleared up when Ian declared his composition. Lee Joo-hyuk tapped Ian and Kim Hyuns shoulders.
So you two do the next song. Ill try writing the lyrics.
Ian was already fiddling with the composition program, and Kim Hyun scowled and messed up his hair roughly.
Ah, I wanted to go to bed early. What should I do?
First, listen to this. I have something in mind
***
The members of AWY, who were immersed in working for a whole day, welcomed the second day.
You guys look terrible.
Lee Jong-soo PD laughed.
In the morning, AWY gathered in the garden for an interview. They all had messy hair and dark circles under their eyes.
Why are you and Hyun hyung like that? Werent you the most relaxed among us?
Jo Tae-woong approached Ians side. Ian, who had heavy eyelids and half-opened eyes, laughed weakly as if his soul had left.
Were not doing Joo-hyuk hyungs composition for the next song. We stayed up all night because of that.
Wow, really? Then you and Hyun hyung are doing it alone? What about Juhyuk hyung?
Hes writing the lyrics.
Ian nodded his head. Jo Tae-woong exhaled and shook his head.
Joo-hyuk hyung is not composing? Did you and Hyun hyung go on strike because he carried you too much?
No, I said I would do it.
He was realizing the disaster he had brought upon himself. Jo Tae-woong narrowed his eyes.
Why are you and Kim Ju-young like that?
Jo Tae-woong had a vague idea of why Ian suddenly started to challenge composition.
Hows your work going?
We finished the sampling song and we have to do the next song right away. We didnt sleep much either.
Ian joked.
Arent you relying too much on Ju-young too?
No, I wrote the lyrics. Do you want to hear them?
Jo Tae-woong was about to take out the lyrics he had kept in his pocket, when Kim Ju-young grabbed his tail and dragged him.
Ah, dont blabber.
Sorry.
Jo Tae-woong shrugged his shoulders. Lee PD looked at the AWY members who were lined up and said.
Well, did you all have a good night?
No!
You had a good night, I have one thing to tell you.
Park Jin-hyuks scream of denial was easily ignored.
In about two hours, a mentor and a judge will come. Please greet them with a clear mind by then.
Why us?
Are you saying you were cloudy before?
That was not a proper thing to say. The PD snickered.
The three teams had barely slept. It was because of the song work, but the members who were fine at first started to lose their screws one by one.
I think Im going crazy! One shouted and suddenly ran around the living room, another wrapped a blanket around his body and imitated famous paintings, it was a sight to behold.
The PD who confirmed the scene of mass hysteria in the morning couldnt help but laugh.
But whos the guest coming?
Its Lee Hyuna.
There were many good scenes for entertainment, but considering AWYs dignity, they decided to tell them the mentor in advance.
Wow.
Really?
Wow, I didnt wash up Should I wash up now?
Who has hairspray!
The members who couldnt sleep properly and were standing blankly came to their senses. And they moved swiftly, helping each other with their appearance.
The staff who were watching held back their laughter.
Is it because Lee Hyuna is a woman that youre so nervous?
Uh, PD, thats a dangerous remark. Were idols.
Lee Joo-hyuk hardened his expression. He said that, but he had a cosmetic sample in his hand.
What is idol, some kind of magic shield, the PD couldnt help but laugh out loud.
Whether shes a woman or not, shes a senior.
I really like her songs.
Park Seo-dam had a dazed expression. He was a fan of Lee Hyuna since elementary school. He couldnt show a shabby appearance when his admired senior was coming.
Right. We cant have low-quality faces.
Hey, Choi Ian, what do you mean by low-quality?
Not me, you guys.
Ian lifted his head and spoke confidently. The members all booed him.
Ah, its annoying, but it sounds right, so its more annoying.
He always survives, we always become squids. Are we squid totems?
Lee Joo-hyuk hyung, youre so mean!
Hey, is being handsome everything?
The members who said that looked more like celebrities than anyone else.
If theyre squids, what am I? The PD laughed while thinking that.
The members tried to surround Ian, and Ian backed away slowly.
Catch him!
Hit him hard!
Ian kicked the ground and ran away. The members followed him, and the PD shouted.
Well, then, please work hard on your songs today!
***
The members who started the morning exercise with a refreshing run went back to their houses and continued their song work.
And a few hours later, Lee Hyuna, who visited the Our time shooting site, bowed and greeted the staff.
Hello.
The PD jumped up and ran to her. As a PD specialized in music entertainment, he liked her as a fan, and he extended his hand without hiding his delighted expression.
Thank you for coming.
Its nothing, its your request, PD.
Lee Hyuna smiled brightly and shook hands with the PD. She also did a brief pre-interview like the other mentors.
Why did you decide to come on this show?
I came because of this PDs request.
Lee Jong-soo PD had directed Lee Hyun-ahs music documentary before Our time. It was a hard-won achievement after persistent casting, and Lee Hyun-ah gladly accepted his offer to appear on this show because of their connection.
Then, do you have a team that you are looking forward to the most?
Well Im looking forward to all of them. Its my first time being a judge on this program.
Oh, right.
Lee Hyun-ah was a singer-songwriter who debuted at 14 years old. She was a young musician who was not even in her thirties yet.
She had a lot of experience and was one of the representative female solo singers and versatile entertainers in Korea, but she had never evaluated anyone before.
Then, you can go into any house first.
Okay, then
Lee Hyun-ah moved her steps. The house she headed to was Jo Tae-woong and Kim Ju-youngs house.
As she carefully opened the front door, the two men were raising their voices.
What kind of song is this?
What? I think its okay.
Do you want to scrap it?
I said its okay!
No, this wont do. We have to scrap it.
Hey! Im also a team member!
She had a younger brother, so their bickering looked like her brothers. Lee Hyun-ah smiled slightly and said.
Hello.
