Suddenly Became a Monster Singer-Songwriter - Episode 37 (Music Video) An MNS Entertainment van parked in front of the dormitory. The team members helped Jeong Woo-dam move his belongings out of the dormitory. It wasn't much, but they wanted to help their beloved youngest member in the team with his farewell. "Woo-dam, when you said you were going to be a singer, I was actually worried. You know how there are a lot of news about small agencies scamming people with false hopes? But I knew you wouldn't fall for something like that." Seeing the older members suddenly sharing their thoughts, Woo-dam tilted his head in confusion. They hadn't said anything when they first saw the MNS van, nor during work yesterday, and not even during the farewell dinner where the letter 'M' of MNS Entertainment wasn't mentioned. But it turned out they had been considerate of Jeong Woo-dam all along. "Only we know that you've joined MNS Entertainment. It won't become a rumor in the company." Technically, it was a partnership, but it wasn't the right atmosphere to correct them. They were speaking with such serious expressions. "If it gets out and you don't do well, people will say, 'See, not just anyone can be a celebrity,' and they might gloat for no reason. On the other hand, if you do well, they'll try to leech off you." Jeong Woo-dam was grateful for the deep thoughts of his team members, who were usually all talk. It was still confusing whether they were being serious or joking. "Right. We should be the only ones to benefit from your success, so we need to block everyone else." "Ah." "I'm kidding, kid." After loading all the luggage into the van. "Being a latecomer rookie might hurt your pride since there's a lot of power abuse in the entertainment industry. But just do as you did here. Even if the managers are annoying, you've endured well." "Since you're doing it, succeed!" "Thank you for everything." After the van departed, the manager director spoke. "You must have done well at your job." "I'm not sure." Woo-dam wasn't sure, but the manager director could tell from the way his colleagues had treated him. He was a good person. It was evident. But regardless of his character. 'Was it because I saw him after his night shift last time?' He knew he was a good-looking guy even then, but he had been completely exhausted from fatigue. Now, however, his face seemed to shine. Although he had to drive and quickly turned his eyes back to the front, his mouth didn't stop talking. "Woo-dam, aren't you going to sleep today?" "If I sleep now, I won't be able to at night, and since you'll be tired from the long drive, I should keep you company." "This isn't really a long drive. It's nothing compared to when Ji-an was busy with events. I've been to every local festival, university, and corporate event in the country." The manager director had joined the company as a road manager during Seo Ji-an's debut days. He wasn't driving again. He would be in charge until they found a road for Jeong Woo-dam. "It must have been tough." "Not at all. Thanks to that, I got promoted quickly. Shall we talk about the schedule while we're on the way?" "Sounds good." "Firstly, the internal title has been decided as www. The music video storyboard will probably be modified once the lyrics are complete, but we already have a draft." Woo-dam listened to the music video storyboard from the manager director. The story begins with <www.>. In a room, someone is watching a YouTube video on a PC monitor. The video shows a happy family, but to the protagonist, it seems like a story from another world. Online is more comfortable than reality. The outside world is exhausting. But strangely, it's a video that one keeps coming back to watch. Inspired by the video, the protagonist finally cleans the house and prepares to go out. "We won't just shoot in one space. When the protagonist is using the computer, it will have a metaverse feel, with CG showing them traveling through the online world." The next part of the story continues with <Go>. The protagonist leaves the house, but as expected, the outdoors is full of noise and people's troubles, so they plug in earphones and walk aimlessly. Then they discover a street performance they like. EDM busking. The ending is a preview of <Home>. "We'll be hiring a lot of extras. By the time we get to Home, the time will have passed significantly." The protagonist gets married and has a child. They bow their head to pointless nagging from their boss just to make a living. At the same time, they imagine. The street performance they saw years ago, the festivals they went to on dates. Fortunately, there's a welcoming family at home, so the heavy commute gradually turns into a lively rhythm. "The music video ends with a zoom-out as if it's being filmed with a home camera. Someone is watching that video in a dark room." "Like a loop, it connects back to www.?" "Exactly. And Woo-dam, you'll have to act in all of it. Do you have any scenes you want to add?" If he's not keen, they can just find another actor. But Jeong Woo-dam was not calmed down. He was excited. 'I decided to become a musician, but listening to the manager director makes it feel more real.' So his answer was simple. "I'll work hard. If I think of any scenes, I'll let you know." "Let's make a work of art. Besides that, you have to record, shoot for your profile and jacket, and we're planning to press an initial 5,000 copies of the album." Woo-dam was surprised by the larger-than-expected number of pre-orders. He knew well that aside from solo artists with fandoms like Seo Ji-an who sell hundreds of thousands of copies, even 1,000 copies are not easy to sell, let alone 10,000. But he didn't show it. Perhaps MNS Entertainment had already decided on the figure. On the other hand, the manager director glanced at him and continued speaking. "We set a low number, right?" He tried not to be surprised, but what? "Don't worry about it. We can order more after seeing the initial sales. 5,000 copies with 30% royalties for Woo-dam isn't bad. If it's 15,000 won per copy, that's a settlement of 22.5 million won. Actually, it's more about the music than the album sales." The manager director suddenly started talking about becoming a copyright millionaire. "There's a folk artist from a one-person agency in Korea, right? It's not for nothing that they compare it to a pension. Even more so if you break into the international market. Mariah Carey made 90 billion won with a carol she composed and sang herself." "Ah, yes." The example was too unrealistic, but Jeong Woo-dam still played along sincerely. The manager director was trying to motivate Woo-dam so he wouldn't be disappointed. 'Already, an album of 5,000 copies is far from enough for his worth.' He had asked to be informed about the schedule as soon as the management contract was signed. Then he reported that he had sold a song to Kota Entertainment and had a recording scheduled, and that he would sell two more songs in the future. 'A monster rookie who has been set the same song fee as a star composer even before debut.' That's how the manager director saw Jeong Woo-dam. Just in terms of pure song fees, without even considering copyright. 'Has there ever been an artist like this in Korea?' There are singer-songwriters who receive song requests after gaining recognition, but Jeong Woo-dam's order was reversed. It reminded him of an overseas singer-songwriter. The artist who sang "Uptown Funk" also started as a producing team. Of course, Jeong Woo-dam couldn't be placed on the same level just yet. But even the manager director, who had joined MNS Entertainment during its revival period, had never seen this type of artist before. He wanted to watch Jeong Woo-dam's activities up close. And thanks to Woo-dam, who became a conversation partner, they arrived in Seoul without realizing how time had passed. "What time should I pick you up tomorrow?" "I'll go. Just let me know what time I should be there." He suggested taking the subway considering the traffic conditions, but the manager director wouldn't even allow him to walk a little. "There's a place I need to visit with the executive director before going to the office. Is it okay if I come by 10 o'clock?" "Then, I understand." After sending off the manager director, Jeong Woo-dam finally went up to his house and opened his wooden box first. "Guys, enjoy your freedom." Seeing the bears coming out of the upgraded two-story cabin and saluting with their straw hats to their chests made him feel content. "Did you have a hard time following me around?" He immediately transferred the reward money. To the Rhythm & Soul Tree, which still didn't know what it was. -Would you like to supply nutrients to the Rhythm & Soul Tree? -1,000,000 won / C-B "Ah." It wasn't a dormitory, so he could experiment right away. It was probably a tree representing black music. First, he had to check the vocal range (A) that he hadn't properly confirmed yet. "Should I try singing the lyrics that came out?" He tried recording the country EDM <Home>. It was a song that only went up to high G# in the second octave. But as Jeong Woo-dam had the composition (A) ability, he could arrange it in any key he wanted. He played the sparkling Veronica in a country style, and soon reached the high part. -Let's fly~ high higher He could easily surpass the third octave. But it wasn't pure head voice. 'Did it change to belting?' It was natural to go high. Belting is a thicker high note than the third octave D# that Woo-dam screams in <Go> using only falsetto. In terms of ratio, there's more chest voice. In other words, it's a mixed voice. The high notes of a rock vocal that people commonly know. It seemed to come out smoothly because his vocal technique was B grade. "I could sing rock refreshingly?" The range of genres he could handle increased. Rock, a genre that ignites the heart. Thanks to that, he moved on to the next experiment in a good mood. 'Now it's time for Rhythm & Soul.' He tried singing rhythmic music and soul pop. And he realized. Agencies pick trainees from their teens to forcibly inject rhythm and groove. Because it needs to be learned at a young age. Otherwise, it's a sensation that adults find hard to feel unless they're born with it. Jeong Woo-dam could write songs with off-beat rhythms but found it difficult to sing them. But now he understood it with his head and body. Not only that, but the appeal in his voice also deepened. 'Appeal, that's the message.' The ability to convey emotions to the listeners. Regardless of skill, isn't it the most important element for a singer? 'If I combine this with the vocal range (A)...' He was confident that he wouldn't be ignored even among singers who were known to be good. It was hard to say which of the seeds he had planted was the best, but Rhythm & Soul was definitely one of the most overpowered trees. "Thanks for coming out before recording, really." He had to thank the bears. Then he saw the fourth bear jumping out of the two-story attic with a pile of straw in front of the cabin. -Daa! It seems the swing is no longer in his thoughts. "Don't get hurt." Moreover, the name of the fourth bear seemed to come to mind. 'The super-fast little one, Jjangko?' He was frustrated with his own naming sense. His producing was A grade, but he still had no talent for naming. Maybe that's the realm of marketing. 'I'll definitely go to a naming center after I handle the scheduled tasks.' And the other bears were picking up oversized leaves to match the A-grade tree and extracting fibers from them in the spinning wheel. The third bear had already gone out to explore. -Lulu. It should be a tedious task, but the bears seemed surprisingly happy. The gluttonous second bear couldn't keep up with the speed and got tangled in the fiber bundle. The fourth bear, who had been diving, thought it looked fun and took turns with the second bear, pulling out fibers wildly. Whirling threads. Woo-dam decided to sit at the desktop and write a free-spirited song like the fluttering threads. "I just need to leave by 10 o'clock." He thought of the punk genre. Thanks to Rhythm & Soul, it wouldn't be difficult. And the next day, Kim Deok-gu, the executive director, was surprised to see Jeong Woo-dam, who should have looked brighter after resigning, but instead had dark circles under his eyes. "Didn't you sleep well?" "No, I slept well." He had slept for four hours. He had been engrossed in creating music without realizing the time. "Is it okay to look around a few places before going to the office?" "Yes. But where to?" "I'm going to look for a place to stay. I'll start with the places owned by MNS Entertainment, and if the location or house structure isn't good, I can just rent. Let's go." "A place to stay?" *** A dance team, Grant, received a choreography request from one of the representative 4th generation girl groups. The fee for the request was not small. The request was in its final stages, but recently they had started working on choreography for another girl group as well. It was for the new song of Kota Entertainment's girl group Day.G. The performance director spoke up. "I feel a bit awkward saying this." "What is it, sis?" "You know the two choreographies we're working on right now?" "Oh, I know what you mean. The kids from Monodi's representative?" The popularity between the two girl groups, who were scheduled to come back at the same time, was like heaven and earth. To their ears, which had heard countless idol demos, it seemed like Day.G would make a bigger impact than the 4th generation representative girl group. "Yeah. This time it's not a song written by the representative, but an external song, and they're keeping the composer a secret." "Hmm, it doesn't seem like any composer we've worked with before, right?" "If it was, there would be no need to hide it." The dance team became curious about the composer who took on Day.G's new album. "Well, we'll know once the tracklist comes out." Kota Entertainment decided to release the tracklist quickly, just like they had rushed the comeback. It's next week. Considering Day.G's recognition, it would be difficult to attract attention even if the tracklist was posted online, but with the increase in netizens listening to <Ricoricori> in Korea, they might be curious if WD is that WD. The view count of the video registered on Mrsquid had already surpassed ten million.

Suddenly Became a Monster Singer-Songwriter - Episode 39 (Choo Choo) Jeong Woo-dam now had two YouTube channels. One was his own channel where <Ricoricori> was uploaded, and the other was an artist channel directly managed by MNS Entertainment. He visited the salon today to upload recording behind-the-scenes content like other singers. After the manager director and Jeong Woo-dam visited, the designers and staff became noisy. "Does MNS Entertainment manage actors too?" "If you're talking about that person just now, he's a singer about to debut." "Really? He was really handsome, I almost trembled and messed up his hair when I was washing it." It's a salon frequented by celebrities, so they've seen good-looking people more than once or twice, but Jeong Woo-dam definitely left an impression. He looked so kind that you couldn't say a bad word about him. He had the image of someone who would have studied hard. And yet, he also had an air of elegance. "He has that perfect son vibe." "Right. He doesn't have a particularly strong individual look, but that's why his impression changes so easily with makeup. His music also seems like it would be mainstream rather than individualistic." "I've seen the manager director for a long time. I asked, and they said his music style is individuality itself. The company seems to have high expectations." "Is MNS about to have a big hit newcomer after Ji-an?" Whispers about Jeong Woo-dam began to spread quietly in the industry. *** A new unique item, the Visual Tuner, which visually indicates the tuning needed for instruments and vocalists. Jeong Woo-dam looked at Shin Chae-yun through the glasses he dubbed the "combat power meter." [Shin Chae-yun] -Condition: 90% (50%| due to nervousness) -Solution: Beer 330mL The solution to the condition drop was a small can of beer. 'Are you telling me to drink in the daytime?' However, knowing that Shin Chae-yun was a rare husky low-voiced female vocalist, he quickly went to the convenience store to help her perform at her best. He bought two cold cans of beer and some peanuts. "Beer?" "Let's have a light drink while looking at the lyrics." Jeong Woo-dam had memorized all the lyrics of the songs to be included in the album, but Shin Chae-yun was seeing them for the first time today and would sing them on the spot. It was possible. The song wasn't a sorrowful one, so it didn't require difficult acting. Of course, some emotion was necessary. 'In fact, unless you're a veteran, getting drunk can make emotions fluctuate.' He doubted a small can of beer would make her drunk. Thud. In the conference room, after opening the beer, Jeong Woo-dam, the composer, producer, and performer, explained the concept. "The lyrics are metaphorical, but it's not a love song. Think of singing between loneliness and plainness." "Loneliness and plainness..." It was Shin Chae-yun's first time at MNS Entertainment and her first time featuring on a track. She was bewildered about drinking alcohol in such a place. She soon understood why Jeong Woo-dam suggested it, realizing how nervous she must have appeared. So she drank it refreshingly. "Phew." "It's a bear." "...It's because it's cold." She checked her part and the harmony sections, reading and singing them like studying for a test, and matched them with Jeong Woo-dam. Then they entered the recording studio. Shin Chae-yun was quite relaxed, but then. 'Eek.' There were many people. It was the title track, after all. Even though it was a song written by Jeong Woo-dam, he couldn't record and sing it alone, so the composition team leader participated in the arrangement, engineers adjusted the vocal tuning, and the dedicated team also stepped in for sub-directing. There was even a filming team. Jeong Woo-dam had informed her over the phone before coming. 'Think of it as being in front of audition program judges, and take it as an experience.' "Phew." Shin Chae-yun, knowing she wasn't the main focus and owing Jeong Woo-dam a favor from before, decided to repay him by shaking off her nervousness. "Would you like to record first? Or should I go first?" "I'll go first. It's better to get hit first." And so began Shin Chae-yun's part. The people in the control room, including Jeong Woo-dam, listened without stopping once. They had no idea who Jeong Woo-dam had invited for the feature, but they knew from the first line. -I keep on falling down The executive director doubted his ears. 'What's with that voice?' He thought it was someone who hadn't debuted yet, but where did they find such a vocalist? Jeong Woo-dam's music was a sophisticated fusion of K-pop and pop, not easy for just anyone to digest. But Shin Chae-yun's voice seemed to exist solely to sing this song. The composition team leader, who had worked with her once, gave Jeong Woo-dam a thumbs up. Jeong Woo-dam, who had lifted MNS Entertainment's worries in one go, also smiled. Above all, with Woo-dam's directing, the recording ended quickly, almost as if they were playing in a karaoke room rather than recording. As soon as Shin Chae-yun finished singing her track from the intro to the ending, Jeong Woo-dam asked the composition team leader and engineer. "Please raise the pitch here. Increase the vibration, and just a little reverb." As a result, even though it was a beginner's recording, they finished the feature recording in just one hour. "You can come out now." -...Is it already finished? "Yes, rest and we'll listen to the final version together later." Since it wasn't a vocal training session, Jeong Woo-dam believed in fixing what could be done with the program. What mattered was the music, not how it would be sung live. He didn't tweak it to the point of turning a tone-deaf person into a skilled singer. Shin Chae-yun had talent. It was just a minor adjustment. Afterward, Jeong Woo-dam stepped out of the recording studio for a moment and popped a fruit into his mouth along with some water. [Apogee (Vocal Range) / Single-use 2 hours] -Vocalization, that is, vocal cords and breathing It was a fruit from the Vocal Range (A) tree. Even though it was his first time using it, the fruits from other trees had never disappointed him, so it would be useful in recording. Unlike Shin Chae-yun, who did the title featuring, Jeong Woo-dam had to record three songs in a row. Gulp. He swallowed the Vocal Range (A) fruit and cleared his throat. "Ah ah." He could feel it. More correct vocalization, more correct vocal cord contact. It would help maintain his throat condition for a longer time. Considering the 2-hour duration, he hurried back to the recording studio. "Give me a signal when you're ready." At the composition team leader's words, Jeong Woo-dam made an OK sign with his fingers. He didn't even respond verbally to save his voice a little. -I need some time, to be myself The staff were amazed at the change in his singing style. 'It's real R&B?' 'The soul is almost like a native, isn't it?' 'Woo-dam, you can do this style too.' They didn't know because they had only heard the low and powerful high notes from the debut group's demo, not the singing rap or country. Jeong Woo-dam had no genre limits. Not just in composition, but also in singing. 'This will be a shocking listening session.' Kim Deok-gu, the executive director, looked forward to that day. His debut album took longer to record than Shin Chae-yun's, but it was still only an hour and a half. 'Because you understand perfectly what emotions to convey and what songs to sing.' That was the executive director's reason for the quick completion of the title recording. And as the composition team leader and engineers combined the harmonies. "The recording for www. is finished!" Shin Chae-yun was astonished by the professional workflow as the finished product was created in an instant, and then she left the recording studio. "The manager director will give you a ride." "No, I'm going to the bookstore since I'm out." The featuring singer was offered a ride home as a token of appreciation, but Shin Chae-yun, feeling burdened, left the company building alone. MNS Entertainment immediately transferred her a generous amount for the recording fee and enough to take a taxi. Jeong Woo-dam continued recording the other tracks, and although it was expected to take at least two days, he finished all three songs in just five hours. "Great work!" Jeong Woo-dam and the staff finished the content shooting with a finish call. The rest was up to MNS Entertainment and the mastering studio. Woo-dam was able to return home before sunset. * 'Thank goodness for the fruit, otherwise it would have taken twice as long.' Even though it was fast, he saved time by finishing <www.> within the duration and singing <Home>, which had the lyrics come out first, next. He deliberately sang <Go>, the highest vocal range, last. To pour all his remaining energy into it. "That's why it's tough." Returning to his accommodation, Jeong Woo-dam took off his socks and flopped down. It was his accommodation, but it was his new home. It was the most comfortable place for him. He still wasn't used to being among entertainment industry personnel. It felt like he had been wearing a mask all day. He didn't get caught because he had adjusted his acting skills to B grade for the music video shooting. 'I'll have to eat the visual fruit on the shooting day too.' The visual tree had also reached A grade. There were a total of four A-grade trees. Without any particular thoughts, Jeong Woo-dam, who had been lying on the bare floor for a while, got up and approached the bears. The front door locked automatically, so he only locked the bedroom with a key. Click. "Did you keep the house safe?" Woo-dam looked into the wooden box with a silly grin as if he had never been tired. Before going out, the
