All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

018. when is the picture again?

“Now is it my turn?”

His recording had already ended, and when it was Evie’s turn to record, who had been tinkering with mixing, Song Jae-ik grabbed a sketchbook and picked up a pen.

In fact, I used to envy people who draw well from before. It is never easy to unfold one’s imagination into the genre of painting.

And everyone has dreamed of bringing out a story in their head at least once. That’s why webtoons are a talent I chose.

“Hmm. It’s not easy. What’s wrong?”

However, unlike the piano or vocal talents before that, the talent of drawing was simply digested.

I could draw a picture. To be precise, I tried to draw a webtoon, but it would be more accurate to say that I can’t readily figure out how to draw it.

‘Step by step, one by one. Let’s draw it as we go along with our thoughts. Even if it’s just a picture, not a webtoon.’

In the moment I was thinking about what to draw, the melody of Evie’s duet song came out, and I looked at the recording booth at the sound of Evie’s voice following.

“uh?”

I even thought about what to draw for a while. When I saw Evie singing in the booth, I instinctively picked up a pen and started sketching, inspired by inspiration.

“Quiet-!”

And after an hour had passed, Evie finished recording and opened the recording booth with a refreshing expression and came out.

It was because the long and long studio album recording was finally finished. Besides, the last two songs with Song Jae-ik were really songs that you can look forward to even if you think about it.

“yes? What are you all doing?”

And even though he came out, the people in the recording studio were quietly focusing their eyes on Song Jae-ik, and he himself looked at the sketchbook out of curiosity.

“Wow. Great. No, when will the painting again…?”

“End!”

And Song Jae-ik, who finished the sketch just in time, scratched his head after confirming that the eyes were focused on him.

It was because he was not aware of the fact that so many people were paying attention to him.

I asked Evie, who couldn’t take her eyes off her sketchbook, if the recording was over.

“Uh… is the recording finished?”

“no! It starts now. It might not be a digital single, but this time it’s a regular album. Fortunately, I am practicing choreography whenever I have time, I have an album concept in place, and I have filmed a music video. I just need to publicize it.”

“ah. It’s pretty complicated. I thought I could just record it.”

“Please. I still have to decide on the album cover design. You also have to promote. Still, the song will be out within a month. The video will also be uploaded at that time. But did you also draw?”

Yibi was interested in the sketchbook that Song Jae-ik had just drawn.

“ah. I’ve been interested in painting lately. I’m writing things down.”

“Can you show me some?”

In the sketchbook Song Jae-ik held out, there were various drawings drawn here and there. Some pages have flowers. or a desk. or landscape.

But one thing is for sure, it’s absolutely not a beginner’s skill. It was the skill of a person who knew how to draw to some extent.

“You’ve really been interested in it lately, right? It’s not an ordinary skill.”

“Right. I don’t understand either, but now I just accept it. He’s a really weird kid.”

“Hyung… Mr. Kang Seok is right. The channel name isn’t Challenge Everything for nothing.”

And at the end of the sketchbook. When Song Jae-ik checked the recording scene he had just sketched.

Lee Bie was blankly looking at Song Jae-ik’s picture.

“ah. Would it be rude to draw without permission? I felt the moment and drew it.”

“this···”

Yibi looked at the sketchbook drawing once and then at Song Jae-ik, then opened her mouth slightly and began to search for what she had to say.

“Is this really cool? No, did you have this level of skill at drawing? Apparently, YouTube didn’t have a painting category.”

“yes?”

“this. this! Can I talk to the CEO and put it on the inside cover of the album? how to say If you look at this picture . I think I can really feel the atmosphere of the recording studio right now.”

It is because something passionate and warm feeling was revealed through the painting.

“I really didn’t know how to draw so well. no! What the hell can’t you do? By the way, can’t you really allow me to use it for the inside cover? I really want to include it in this album!”

Lee Bi looked at Song Jae-ik with a smile on her face. It was the kind of smile asking for permission to be on the inside cover of an album.

“If it’s okay with Evie, then I’m fine.”

“Perhaps. Hey, I’m asking. Can you draw another picture?”

“A different picture?”

“yes. I have a good idea.”

He nodded his head as he looked at Evie with a mischievous smile.

Like the last surprise duet, it was obvious that it was something that CEO Kim Joon hadn’t discussed, but at least he was confident that it wouldn’t harm him.

“like.”

“I like it too. I’ll get permission from the representative and tell you! He’ll probably give it to you right away!”

—

“A picture book?”

“yes. I think it fits well with the concept of this album. This concept is me. That’s right. To show the diverse me at 26. So I decided to give the image in paint.”

“That… all of a sudden?”

“Honestly, of course there will be photo cards in this album, but wouldn’t it be nice to give something special? Especially since it’s a regular album coming out after a long time. Rather than always being the same.”

“So. Did that Song Jae-ik draw the picture too?”

“yes. Please see for yourself and judge for yourself.”

Kim Joon sighed as if he was dumbfounded when he opened the sketchbook Lee Bi gave him and checked the drawings.

“Ha… What is this guy’s true identity? What, are you so good at drawing?”

It was such a picture that I fully understand why Lee B suddenly asked to include a picture in the composition of the album.

Of course, it is impossible to evaluate a work as good or bad based on absolute standards in the field of art, but at least the paintings Jae-ik Song has drawn now are really well-drawn.

Not just the picture, but the emotion and atmosphere that the picture contains.

“You can feel the mood or emotion in the painting.”

“I knew it. Will you agree?”

“As long as this level of picture quality is maintained, it will be enough. So, how many points do you plan to put in?”

“Hmm… I’ll have to talk to Mr. Jaeik to find out, but I’d like to have one point per song.”

“It’s one picture per song…”

If you think about the composition of a normal album, it’s a photo card. Photo albums with lyrics, small goods such as stickers and bookmarks. and CD.

“great! If you can pull it out at this quality, even one copy per song is fine. this. The debt just keeps growing.”

And as if waiting for those words, Evie immediately picked up her cell phone and called Song Jae-ik.

“The CEO agreed! Wait in the recording studio!”

“What? Huh, true.”

Kim Joon only laughed at Evie’s words, thinking that he would of course agree.

—

“Hey hey hey! Did you see this?”

Eom Kang-seok made a fuss about finding something and showed the monitor screen.

＜Evie comeback soon! 5th regular album in 4 years!＞

＜A total of 10 full-length albums. Two of them with an unknown non-tuber?＞

＜Evie’s unconventional full-length album challenge! A duet song with a regular YouTuber on a regular album! Growing backlash from fans.＞

＜The first full-length album in 4 years. But that quality comes with a question mark.＞

Just before promotion for Evie’s full album begins. News related to the duet with Song Jae-ik started leaking from here and there.

And that too in a very negative way.

“Uh. It’s an atmosphere mess. This is definitely not what Muse Enter PR team did. what? Who is it?”

“Wouldn’t you know better than me? I only listen to the song I don’t know much about the entertainment industry.”

“Are there any kids making a comeback around the same time? I’ll take a look at the gongka side. Do you have any words Sometimes the news is faster this way.”

While Um Kang-seok was heating up, Song Jae-ik checked each and every comment on the article on his cell phone.

– You Tuber? Maybe that youtuber?

– That youtuber? Did you duet together? no way?

– Are you crazy? It’s not just You Tube content, it’s a duet with a regular person who doesn’t know who it is in a regular album, and that’s two songs?

– The duet video with Evie still hasn’t been released, right? Isn’t it because Muse Entertainment didn’t allow it?

– It seems that everyone has never seen that YouTuber video. I am good at playing the piano. I also sing quite a bit.

– Yes, anyway, you’re a YouTuber. Hahahaha I went as far as Ivy could go. Do you want to make an issue like this?

– right. When was Ibi? If it’s the 10th anniversary now. Now it’s a music industry frame.

– You should have seen that piano piece. And Evie is better than the singer you support.

As expected, Muse Enter was clearly aware of the negative issues coming from the job as a YouTuber in relation to Song Jae-ik, so the situation that Muse Entertainment tried to promote was all in vain.

On the Internet, a war of words was going on between Evie’s fans and netizens. In addition, Song Jae-ik was already suffering from more criticism and malicious comments because the channel had already been in the process of losing his duet with Evie.

The biggest reason is that he is a nertuber. While reading the comments, Song Jae-ik received a call from Evie.

“hello?”

– ah. This is Ivy.

“yes. Are the preparations for the regular album going well? There really isn’t much left until release.”

– yes. Thank you. But have you read the comments on the internet?

“yes. I was just watching.”

– I don’t know who it was, but it was really fun.

Ebi, who was calling, was clearly smiling, but Song Jae-ik could clearly read the anger in her voice.

“ah. It wasn’t noise marketing.”

– Yes, at least it was definitely not the direction we set. But I don’t think it’s that bad. Rather, someone you don’t know who laid the plate, right?

Ivy rather calmly explained the situation in a low voice. In particular, I felt very sorry for Song Jae-ik.

Even if this regular album has its own album or a person featured in it, there is no problem if it is a singer, but in Evie’s mind, Song Jae-ik is still a normal person. Even if you’re a YouTuber.

To be precise, it was a situation where more effort was put into publicity because he was a YouTuber. It was natural that there would be controversy, but the company employees who heard the recorded song all shouted in unison.

‘This is great!’

If only publicity is put in the right way, all controversies can be overturned.

– So I’m going to keep quiet and do nothing for a while. Rather, it’s not a bad thing to amplify the controversy. Like the noise marketing you mentioned earlier.

“Ah… this is the entertainment industry. So?”

– I’m really embarrassed that I had to show you this first. Then, a week before the full album release, our ending song. I’m going to pre-release the last piano song. Of course, judging from the current controversy, of course we should release a duet song and evolve. Rather, it is an understatement.

“Um… then I save duet songs, that’s what I mean.”

– answer! Jaeik’s piano playing is already famous on You Tube. Then the negative public opinion will focus on the duet without emphasizing playing the piano well. And just when the controversy reached its peak, the release of Jang Gyu’s album was perfect!

Evie seemed excited just thinking about it, even humming a song between conversations.

– I don’t know who touched it wrong.

Song Jae-ik agreed with that. It’s a very obvious statement, but even if you listen to it yourself, Evie’s album this time was literally a hit.

Of course, there were things like that because he participated.

“Iknow, right. It must have been touched the wrong way.”

—

“I have to catch it this time. Surely. We cannot postpone our schedule. unless you’ve already sprayed it all. After all, Evie is the solo queen. That news like this will come out.”

The manager skillfully brought up Evie’s name and scratched Lian’s temper. At those words, Lian sighed and became irritated. Why do you mean now?

At this timing when he returns with a mini album. Still, there is such a thing as morality.

Such a sudden comeback!

“ah! annoying! brother. You really have nothing to do with that regular YouTuber, right?”

“There must be some skill, of course. Muse Enter is not a corner store. Of course, after looking at the basic skills, we bring up the duet.”

“What?! Then what?”

“So it was written in advance. Once you preoccupy negative public opinion, it’s hard to overturn it unless you have tolerable skills. People are going to put more stringent standards on that youtuber. Honestly, who can meet that standard?”

“right? Talk to the CEO and ask him to push a little more. I really need to catch it this time. It’s obvious that if you get down here for no reason, you’ll hear Lee In-ja’s voice. The fans will also scratch their temper and compare them.”

“Of course I told you beforehand. The representative also said that it was okay that he couldn’t lose. you practice hard So that if we meet later, whether it’s on a music show or anywhere else, I’ll be sure to crush them.”

“Haa… ok.”

Ryan took a deep breath and searched for his name to cool off. And soon, the corner of his mouth went up at the positive articles directed at him.

And the day Evie said.

There are five busking videos on Jaeik Song’s Channel Challenge Everything.

It’s the 10th of Evie’s songs on multiple music platforms simultaneously. The song Jae-ik Song played the piano at dawn was released as a surprise.
