Chapter 58: Foolish Daughter

Kang Wooseok’s music lessons continued after that.

They decided to meet on Osorin’s days off, and now they practice in a private recording studio instead of the JYH practice room.

I was a little surprised to hear that because I didn’t expect him to help this much.

“I personally like taking care of others. So I’ve been a lecturer in various places.”

“You were an amazing person?”

“You shouldn’t underestimate a famous celebrity. There’s a reason why they became famous.”

I didn’t know Daystar….

Judging by the fact that Osorin remembered the song as soon as she heard the group name, they seemed to be famous.

Anyway, after Osorin started receiving lessons from Kang Wooseok, she always sang and practiced.

Since the broadcasting room was a soundproof room, she sang day and night, recalling Kang Wooseok’s teachings.

She hums even when she’s on the phone with me, so it seems to have stuck to her mouth.

‘The song seems to be going well. Now all that’s left is the video.’

This is where I’m worrying.

How to make a cover song video.

‘Since the original song is an animation, I can follow it as it is….’

It’s a song that already has a video guideline.

If I trace it as it is and change only the character to Osorin, I can make a video.

If I do this, I can feel the memories and nostalgia of the animation more, so the reaction will not be bad.

Another way is to use a small number of illustrations and decorate the video with various effects.

When you look at song cover videos, there are videos that change the color of one illustration, move it, and display the lyrics of the song.

Japanese Utaite videos are mainly produced in this way.

It’s often the same with the original, but if you do this, you can spend relatively little money on video production.

Regarding this, Osorin answered like this.

-Hmm, I see…. Certainly, the cost issue is difficult. I don’t earn that much yet. But it’s a waste to compromise on quality….

“You can postpone the release of the cover song, so think about it slowly. Anyway, we need Sorin’s sound source to do anything.”

-Yeah, then I’ll talk with Hayeon first and decide.

“She’s an expensive person, so if it’s really difficult, there’s a way to request it elsewhere.”

Jeong Hayeon worked with us to create a virtual avatar.

That’s why she charged Lee for the request, and the work was finally completed.

After that, Osorin has to pay for the work used in the broadcast.

I guess I’ll have to wait for her to do it.

“Aigoo, I’m so busy. Why is this meeting never ending?”

During a short break during the meeting.

Lee Seongbeom stretches, shaking his head at today’s long meeting.

He had been sitting in a chair for a long time, so his back, shoulders, and neck were stiff, so he stretched lightly and drank cold coffee.

“Why does it seem like I’m making all the variety shows in this broadcasting station? It’s tiring, it’s tiring.”

“That’s because you contracted like that when you came here, PD.”

“I shouldn’t have fallen for Jintae hyung’s sweet talk back then.

He said he would let me do whatever I wanted, but it’s not possible because of the Korea Communications Commission, it’s not possible because of the budget. He’s just a con man.”

“I always tell you, shouldn’t you say that when I’m not around? I don’t want to get caught in the crossfire.”

“You chose the PD. Endure it with evil and grit.”

“Sigh.”

Compared to other variety show PDs at tvM, Lee Seongbeom’s work is quite a lot.

He is the CP (Chief Producer) of many programs, but he also participates in many programs as a co-director.

This is because he is a veteran PD and a very talented person, but also because if his name is included in the director, the ratings are guaranteed to some extent.

‘Trustworthy Lee Seongbeom’ was spreading on the internet, so Director Choi Jintae had no choice but to put Lee Seongbeom in various programs.

“But you earn a lot of money. That’s enough….”

“Money is useless. What’s the point of earning it like this if I can’t spend it? I should have just done Bitcoin last year and quit the company. If I bought it then, I would have multiplied it by several times.”

“Did it drop now?”

“I’m too scared to do it. My colleague broke his savings and put it in, and he lost 80% of it, so he works like a zombie every day.”

“It’s wise not to do it. Commoners like us are ruined when we aim for a jackpot.”

Lee Seongbeom clicked his tongue and turned on his cell phone.

Numerous notifications displayed at the top of the cell phone.

He checked and erased them all one by one.

“Why are there so many notifications…. Ah, they’re all from Sua.”

“How many does she upload a day, really. Thanks to that, my cell phone is busy all day.”

“You can turn off the notifications.”

“I can’t do that.”

Song Jieun covered her mouth and laughed softly as he answered bluntly.

“When I look at you from the side, you’re just a doting father.”

“Who’s a doting father? That kid is very cheeky and not cute.”

“But your cell phone background is a picture of Sua sleeping.”

“If I show this and say it’s cute, she gets angry. It’s fun.”

“You know you’ve sent me over 100 such pictures, right? You always send me pictures of her eating, sleeping, or yawning, saying it’s funny. That’s what makes you look like a doting father.”

“……Ahem.”

When she pointed that out, Lee Seongbeom couldn’t think of anything to say.

After all, it’s true that he cares for Sua.

“Why are you embarrassed about that? I think I would be a doting father too if I had a daughter like Sua. She’s cute, obedient, and diligent.

Moreover, when I see that she’s already making money by doing her own work…. I think she’s better than me.”

She probably helps with the YouTube work of this PD, edits the videos of the broadcaster, and even uploads clips of Japanese broadcasts to her own channel.

She’s a child who would be loved even if she just stayed still, but she’s doing three jobs.

She also put her name as an assistant writer for various programs following Lee Seongbeom, but it was not easy.

But there are two YouTube channels that she manages entirely on her own.

Even if it’s not a child, it’s normal to say it’s amazing.

“Come to think of it, Sua must have earned quite a lot of money. It’s almost as much as Bitcoin, isn’t it?”

“That much?”

“I don’t know much, but I heard that you can do it full-time if you have over 50,000 YouTube subscribers.

But Osorin’s channel is now 90,000 and Sua’s channel is 20,000. And if you add the cost of assisting the PD that you give, it seems to be quite a lot.”

“What I give is almost like pocket money…. Does YouTube make that much money?”

His YouTube channel had already met the conditions for monetization, but the estimated revenue was not visible because Adsense was not registered.

Since he had been uploading unreleased footage, there was no need to monetize.

That’s why he didn’t know the revenue structure of YouTube well, even though he had over 1 million subscribers.

“She might even earn more than an ordinary office worker. To make that much money just by editing…. Should I do YouTube too?”

“Don’t. If you’re not determined, you’ll give up on doing YouTube while working.”

“Then what about you, PD?”

“I’m doing it.”

“Not that. Something like a vlog.”

“Vlog?”

Isn’t a vlog that?

A YouTube genre that combines video and blog.

A kind of healing content that films everyday life.

“Who would like to see an old man like me on the screen? Even if I have a reputation, my work or daily life is not interesting enough to show to others.”

There will definitely be an issue if he films a vlog.

But it will subside after a while.

Even if he showed an interesting appearance on TV variety shows, it doesn’t mean that his ordinary daily life is interesting.

Moreover, the work of a PD does not have many pleasant situations.

It couldn’t be said to be good in terms of content.

But Song Jieun shook her head and said.

“Oh, not you, PD. Who would watch a vlog of an old man like this?”

“Hey.”

“There’s one content that everyone would find healing around you. I think it will be popular.”

“Are you talking about Sua?”

“You figured it out right away.”

The only person around him who fits the word healing is Sua, so it was natural to come up with it right away.

But he shook his head.

“She’s reluctant to appear on TV or internet broadcasts, so vlogs are out of the question. That’s why I put mosaics on all of Choi Bom’s vlogs.”

“The fact that you didn’t take down the video means that it’s okay if you cover her face. Besides, when I heard it last time, you said that it’s okay as long as Sua’s identity as Racoon isn’t revealed.”

“That’s true.”

“Then you can replace her face with a drawing and call her by a nickname instead of her name, right?”

Certainly, with that method, Sua might give permission.

The important thing is to prevent Sua’s personal information from being revealed.

Thinking about it, Lee Seongbeom suddenly remembered something strange.

“But why would I go that far to film a vlog…?”

“You’re usually quick-witted, why are you so slow at this?”

“Huh?”

“PD, be honest. It’s fun to play with Sua, right?”

“……Riiight? But what does that have to do with it?”

Song Jieun sighed and said.

“You can play with her under the pretext of filming a vlog!”

“Ah.”

His eyes widen.

That’s a way!
