Entertainment Life With A Camera

Saved A Country in the Previous Life?

Unedited Chapter

 

As the magnificent background music began, ear deafening shouts was heard.

“Whoa.”

Who would have known we were going to perform here.
Not in Korea but the island country in Europe, UK.

When the count started, the floor vibrated.
The lift was going up with a rattle.
Perhaps because of nervousness, my balance swayed.
Other members were also similar.

［9］

I wanted to be famous.
Had a desire to succeed in this industry even if I die, but thought if there would be no odds as an idol.

While just living as an idol with moderate weight even when there were a lot of idols that make their debut every year, I wanted to become a well-known entertainer by taking on the lead role although never really turned into an actor.

Even if popular as an idol domestically, not only nastily tangled with sasaeng1but also get all sorts of malicious comments that quietly strike, blaming the members or skills to the limit.

Reporters tailing like stalkers.
If they caught something they will be excited to write articles that’s unknown whether it will be adverse criticism or malicious comment.
And almost every day will be like terror the moment you open personal SNS.2

Well, although the amount of money that goes into the bankbook may be different…

Fortunately, the reaction came right away after the debut and thought that the largest was Olympic stadium even if we had a solo concert… Never even dreamed of Gymnastic or Gocheok, but we even came all the way here when we came to our senses.3

‘Well anyway…’

［5］

I dreamed of this life during my ‘first debut’.

As the lift went up and the members’ silhouettes were seen, the shouts grew even louder.

Was the limited view seat also released.
The lightsticks that filled the audience seats shone like a sparkling milky way.

‘That’s good, though.’

Kim Yong Min followed a friend’s audition when he was 12 years old and luckily got in as a trainee at a large agency, MI Ent., then started living a trainee life.

He was 17 years old after going through 5 years of trainee life.
Though, he still had talent so he entered the debut group as if flowing.
Yet eventually fell off at the threshold of debut.

‘Why am I dropped out?’

The reason he fell was that he was too young.
But he couldn’t understand.
The maknae of the direct senior group debuted at the age of 16.

The reason was not known until later.
When he realized, there was a nephew of the company director in his place.

‘I’m sorry.
It couldn’t be helped.
There’s no way I could refuse when the shareholder pushed it.
I hope you understand.’

Still, since it’s a big agency.
Kim Yong Min who was able to endure, thinking to aim for the next group, eventually left the company.

Except for the director, other employees might be had a conscience and looked for a company that could make its debut right away.

Kim Yong Min eventually had to move to another company they introduced.
Because he wanted to debut right away.

Kim Yong Min immediately became a member of the debut group at the company he moved to and debuted at the age of 18.

Until then, Kim Yong Min thought that his life would be smooth if he made his debut.

The company he moved was an affiliate of a large agency.
The celebrities they belong to were also famous of mid-level or even more.

Some members didn’t like Kim Yong Min, but they were thirsty for their debut.
So, teamwork was pretty good at the beginning of the debut.

Then the group was badly ruined.

The debut song was a song with an easy tropical sound, but from then on it was a feast of bad songs that reflected the president’s old taste.

This was because the producer only participated in the debut song and moved to another company.

The head hairstylist, who was in charge of them, liked to shave sideburns, reggae hair was basic and their hair was damaged by all kinds of experimental dyeing.

The one in charge of makeup insisted on black eyeline as if it had been painted with a computer sign pen.
She put the foundation like a lake without considering the skin tone of each member, to the point anyone who looked at it knew that the tone didn’t match.

What was worse, she didn’t put on eye make-up at all after fans protested about the eyeliner.

It’s ridiculous to say that was a nerve war with fans when she didn’t have any skills.

Diamond Yongmin ‘Rising Sun Flag’ Controversy, Company “Silence”

And who knew if the Rising Sun Flag4 was embedded in the clothes that the exclusive stylist gave to wore, and these brainless members couldn’t even see the largely printed Rising Sun Flag on his back.

There were 9 members, you know! He was beaten as a traitor because of that, but ironically, that was the best moment to make the group’s name known.

To make matters worse.

The company’s finances, which had been expected to be solid, collapsed due to the president’s reckless business expansion.
The mid or higher-level entertainer moved to another company due to the expiration of the contract, and they were the only ones left.

From the 4th album onwards, whether they expected their mangdol tech5 or whether the president was struggling to pay off debts, the period of new songs coming out began to take longer.

After spending so much time in vain, a member eventually withdrew due to school violence controversy while 6 out of 8 remaining members fell into relationships.

‘The only reason you’re ruined is that you’re only capable of that.
Why do you blame me? If you guys did well in the first place, would the company have come to this point?’

It was the sounds heard from the president who gradually avoided responsibility.

What kind of idol is this.
It is no different than trainees who just debuted.

By then, Kim Yong Min was left with nothing but dogged spirit.
Even if I die, I will succeed as an entertainer.

As the company didn’t receive new songs, he studied music composition to make it himself.
But after seeing the members’ dead fish eyes gradually dying, he wanted to survive even if he was alone.
So, he went to take an acting class with personal expenses.

Kim Yong Min’s efforts resulted in the expectations and interests of the same group members.
After some effort, the composition study was useful.
They turned happy as the result of two members who worked on the song together gra
