My Daughter is a Music Genius

Jo Seong-hyeon moved with Chae-yoon.

There is a meeting this evening.

He was going to an appointment and was calling.

“Yes, Mom.”

– So, what did you decide to do?

“I still don’t know. But I think it would be difficult in reality to make it too big.”

Jo Sung-hyun glanced at Chae-yoon at the words of his mother, Lee Soo-hyun, and then opened his mouth to answer.

The child just smiled brightly and said hello while looking at the sparrow.

The sparrows hiding in the bushes fly away when Chae-yoon greets them.

The child was startled and made a noise, then burst into laughter.

Jo Seong-hyeon smiled and patted the child’s head, then continued the call.

– Even if it’s hard to make it big, you have to do it.

“It is, but… I do not know. I wondered if it would be better to just be quiet this time.”

-is it?

“Yes, from next year onwards, even if you want to be quiet, it’s obvious that you won’t be able to do that. I also go to school.”

At that, Lee Soo-hyun remained silent for a while, and eventually agreed.

– You’re right. It’s not that Chaeyoon isn’t sociable either.

Originally, he was not very sociable, but as he started getting along with Young-jun and making friends little by little, the child became a bright and sociable figure.

Obviously, you will make a lot of friends.

“Okay. Probably.”

Jo Sung-hyun nodded and answered, and at that, Lee Soo-hyun moaned and opened his mouth.

– Then, will you spend it together this time? Or, should I go with the three of us?

“Wouldn’t it be nice if the three of us did it? Sending the two of them together is something too simple.”

Jo Sung-hyun looked at Chae-yoon and answered.

Then, Lee Soo-hyun responds as if waiting.

– Is that so? okay. then.

In response, Jo Sung-hyun gave a light smile.

That’s how I end the call.

Chae-yoon turned her head to look at Jo Sung-hyun.

“Who is it?”

“grandmother.”

“Does Grandma want to see me?”

“Of course. Grandma always wants to see Chae-yoon.”

Jo Sung-hyun said with a smile.

Chae-yoon smiles and tells her to go see her grandmother later.

To such a child, Jo Sung-hyun nodded his head.

When I arrived at the meeting point, my partner had already arrived.

Jo Sung-hyun bowed his head and greeted her.

Sera, who is scheduled to have a meeting today, smiles and gets up from her seat, approaches Jo Sung-hyun and holds out her hand.

“hello. Seong-hyeon.”

“Yes, branch manager. hello.”

“I am really happy to work with you.”

After saying that, Sarah slowly moved her gaze to greet Chae-yoon as well.

Chae-yoon carefully bows her head to greet Sera.

Sarah smiled and sat down.

Jo Seong-hyeon also sat down with Chae-yoon and looked at Sarah.

Today was finally the day to officially sign the contract.

A provisional contract has been signed, but the final conditions have not yet been discussed.

There was Jo Sung-hyun’s situation, but Sera’s situation was a little bigger than that.

Sarah was an employee of Paradise Entertainment, and even though she had quite a lot of authority, she was not yet officially appointed as the general manager.

There was a procedure, and after a few days Sera went to China and finished all the procedures, she became the official branch manager.

As the Korean director of Paradise Entertainment, she was able to use her authority more clearly, and the first thing she did was to meet with Seong-hyeon Jo and formally write a contract.

“Sorry to keep you waiting because of my circumstances.”

“No, I didn’t even wait that long.”

Sera smiled softly and handed her an apology, while Jo Sung-hyun responded by shaking her head slightly.

Waiting for a few days was all I could do.

It’s not even worth apologizing.

Sarah smiled and then continued.

“The basic conditions were the same as those I mentioned at the time. I also prepared a separate space for writing special agreements. If there is something you want separately, please let me know, and I will add it before signing.”

“Before that, I would like to know the project schedule in a little more detail.”

One of the most important things for Jo Sung-hyun was the schedule.

Sarah nodded her head with an ah and started explaining.

“maybe… It will start sometime next month. Even if it’s an event group, we can’t proceed in vain… We select trainees, and they go through a training period of at least 3 months to 6 months at the most. In the meantime, we will be preparing the album together.”

“It sounds like I won’t be going out for at least two months.”

“yes that’s right. In my opinion, you probably don’t need to start working as a composer or producer in earnest for about three months. No, it would be difficult to get started. Exactly.”

Sarah says

At her words, Jo Sung-hyun shook his head.

Considering how long an idol group is formed in general, it was true that half a year was an incredibly short period of time.

Right now, the trainees at Pan Entertainment were undergoing an average of 3 to 5 years of training.

After practicing for so many years, even if you barely made it into the debut group, do you just debut right away?

Absolutely not either.

Even after joining the debut group, it usually takes an additional year to make an official debut.

Sera said she didn’t want to waste it, but she didn’t say that she wouldn’t be in a hurry either.

She understood exactly what the purpose of the event-type idol group being created was.

The starting squad should act as the starting squad.

Rather than thinking of successfully establishing the idol group being produced this time, it seemed to have chosen to create an issue and gradually increase the influence of Paradise Entertainment in Korea.

‘There, it will be unplayable to China as well.’

A little bit of anticipation may be given.

As a manager who has experience in producing idol groups in Korea, I can promote it in many ways.

Cho Sung-hyun is not an expert on the Chinese side, so I can’t figure it out exactly, but Paradise Entertainment is not an incompetent company, so I’m sure they will see a definite profit in their investment.

Even if there is a loss, it is not an area that Seong-hyeon Jo will be concerned about.

The important thing for Jo Sung-hyun right now was that he would be given free time for at least a few months.

‘In a month or two… Suffice.’

Jo Seong-hyeon was not the only one working for Paradise Entertainment.

It’s been a while since I’ve finished working on Yumi’s album, but I’ve already decided to participate as a co-producer on Seo Yena’s album.

It takes at least two months to work there, so the time is perfect.

Whether he was predicting what Jo Seong-hyun was thinking, Sarah continued speaking in a calm voice.

“Of course, as long as it doesn’t get in the way of what you’re doing, giving advice to trainees or mentoring them from time to time… I may be able to ask you a favor.”

“I can do that enough.”

Jo Seong-hyeon immediately responded to Sarah’s words.

It’s not difficult.

Even if Sera didn’t say it, it was something that Jo Seong-hyeon requested first.

As a musician, he knew how seriously artists take their work.

Of course, there are those who don’t, but many trainees risk their lives to endure the time of perseverance and practice.

It wasn’t Cho Sung-hyun who would just let them be tied up as an event group, used up for an issue and then thrown away.

As much as they are serious, Jo Sung-hyun will also take them seriously and will do his best to keep the group active even after the group is disbanded.

At Seong-hyeon’s answer, Sarah put on a satisfied expression.

There doesn’t seem to be anything more to be desired.

Jo Sung-hyun paused for a moment.

It was clear what he wanted.

I was a little hesitant about whether to say this or not.

Did he realize he was hesitating?

Sarah opened her mouth with an ‘ah’ sound.

“If there is a trainee you would like to personally recommend, you can do so at any time.”

“… is that so?”

It was a different topic from what he had in mind, but Jo Seong-hyeon felt a little intrigued.

Being able to recommend a trainee was like saying that I would give Jo Sung-hyun a lot more authority than I thought.

It may be an authority you cannot afford.

Sera nodded her head lightly, as if to recommend her at any time.

Cho Sung-hyun scratched his cheek.

There is one trainee that comes to mind.

“There is one trainee who is quite good, but I don’t know if I can recommend it.”

“Please do it now.”

At Sera’s words, Jo Seong-hyeon moved his finger and tapped the table, then opened his mouth.

“My name is Yerin Lee, and she is a trainee under Pan Entertainment, and this time, she is a trainee I worked with while recording the guide while working on Yumi’s album. He has a good personality and a good personality.”

It was a recommendation that Jo Sung-hyun thought a little bit about.

Pan Entertainment is currently preparing for the debut of a male idol group, and it will probably be difficult to launch a new group for at least one to two years.

Then, Yerin Lee has to spend another year or two as a trainee… Of course, this is Jo Sung-hyun’s very personal opinion, but Ye-rin Lee already had the ability to debut.

He still lacks a lot, but he has the skills to be counted among the trainees.

A skill that won’t be strange when debuting.

Her situation and that of Pan Entertainment.

And considering the trainees that Paradise Enter wants, it could be the best for everyone.

“It’s even better if you’re a trainee under Pan Entertainment. Thanks for the recommendation. I will keep an eye on it.”

“yes. I’m sure he’s talented, so it’ll be good in many ways.”

“Back to the contract story… Is there anything you want as a special contract?”

Sarah asks.

In response to her question as if telling her to stop confiding now, Jo Sung-hyun glanced at Chae-yoon.

Chae-yoon was looking out the window, as if the story of Jo Seong-hyeon and Sarah was boring.

After confirming that the child was not listening to them, Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth.

“There is one thing I would like to ask you.”

“If you tell me, I will prepare as much as possible.”

Jo Seong-hyeon slowly talked about his needs.

After hearing all of this, Sarah nodded happily.

“If that’s enough, I can do it anytime. We will prepare it according to the date.”

So, Jo Sung-hyun officially signed a contract with Paradise Enter.
