Chapter 111

111. Beautiful Person (2)

The previous day, Do-wook's first title song, "Please, Don't Go," was released on the music chart, ranking first in the entry rankings, signaling a "robbery craze."

'The song I sing alone... Is it like this?'

Do-wook is standing alone on the stage. It was his first time feeling lonely on stage because he's always with the members.

The stage looked too wide. There is no one on the right or left.

Do-wook looked straight ahead. When it was K-K, it was the number of seats that could easily attract three to four hundred people. How many fans will come today? Do-wook is a little nervous.

Fortunately, there were many fans with Ket-ring's cheering tools in the front. The audience was filled with Do-wook's individual fans alone.

Initially, the KVS music broadcasting company expected about a hundred people, but too many fans flocked to increase the number of people.

Making his solo debut in KVS was one of the other conditions of Director Cho Myoung-guk. It was a condition that he walked when Do-wook said that it is impossible to appear in "48 Hours of Camping" because he is preparing for a solo.

Do-wook felt the need to continue to have a good relationship with Cho Myoung-guk. Director Cho Myoung-guk is a smart person who could use such an image to push things forward even if he seemed stubborn.

It was also Director Cho Myung-guk who candidly said, "Since Baek Hwi-jun, a member of KVS, was selected as a regular cast member of KVS-centered entertainment, let's have a friendly relationship with KK or HIT Entertainment in the future."

Considering the fact that MVS and several broadcasters and newspapers are joining hands with Ara Entertainment, it was a proposal that had no reason to refuse unless it was an unfair or illegal relationship.

'All those people............'

Like that, Do-wook was moved to see the fans shining their eyes only at him. One thought or another passed by.

'I was singing in my heart in the corner of the smelly bathroom, and now I'm standing alone on stage..........'

Although he had the body of Gang Do-wook, Do-wook is now Do-wook himself. Do-wook's spirit even changed Kang Do-wook's body. It had a completely different atmosphere than before.

Even though he's standing alone, he felt an aura that seemed to fill the stage. Overwhelmed by Do-wook, who stood still and stared straight ahead, the audience waited for the song to start.

After a moment of silence, the piano keyboard began to resonate. The sound of the piano split the silence was similar to the feeling of a ripple caused by the wind on a calm lake.

Even though they're a fan who had already heard the released music, they felt a strong echo in their heart as if they had never heard the song before. It was because Do-wook's voice is so desperate.

How can you leave me like this?

With beautiful memories, I'm the only one standing here lonely

Please. Don't go- don't go-

Accurate notes and appropriate techniques were added to convey what the song wanted to convey. As the pitch of the note went up, the emotions became stronger, and the fans in the audience, who were holding their breath at the same time to hear the voice better, felt uncontrollable emotions.

It was because of Do-wook's song as if he was singing to himself. Lonesome emotions swept through their heart, and some of the sensitive fans are already teary-eyed.

"Why are you so sad..."

At the end of the song, a fan murmured as he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. A friend next to him handed a tissue to a tearful friend.

"Hey, why are you crying?".........."

The situation is not much different for a friend who soothed him. His voice trembled.

Do-wook, who is singing on stage, is always a singer in the spotlight, but he seemed like a "human" as long as he felt lonely and painful as they did. It is sad and at the same time some comfort.

"Is this live?""

One side is wondering if it is live. Not a breath is mixed in the song that seemed to melt the eardrum. It is a song like "I chewed up a CD."

"Of course, it's live. By the way, Dowook looks like he's in good condition today. "

"Are there times when you're not feeling well?""

"No, I don't."

Those who were talking thought the stage was over looked at the stage with surprise. It was because Do-wook took off the jacket of the suit he was wearing.

The blue suit, which was Do-wook's outfit today, was sponsored by Marklus, one of the world's top luxury brands.

Markus Korea has expressed its intention to sponsor all accessories worn by Do-wook, including suits and shoes. DOWOOK was now a Markus from head to toe. Of course, props from other luxury brands were also mixed everywhere.

It was Han Jung-ah's team, Do-wook's personal activity stylist, who asked Marklus to sponsor. This was because the concept of this activity went very well with the new season costume of Markus.

On top of that, Han Jung-ah decided that Do-wook would be able to sponsor Markus as well. It was the result of objective diagnosis after considering the reaction when he went to New York Fashion Week.

Since Markrus is a name, it was not a place where celebrity sponsorships were often made. During awards season, they often only sponsored suits for big actors.

Because of this, Markus Korea tried to reject the proposal of team leader Han Jeong-ah. No matter how much KK has the image of a fashionista, and unlike other idols, even if Dowook's image is not light, it is a brand policy that is difficult to break easily.

However, upon hearing this issue of Markkuss Korea, the head office rather actively recommended Dowook to sponsor new season products during his activities. The people at the headquarters of Markrus saw Do-wook in the 'Bomb' magazine after being photographed at the Markrus fashion show.

Of course, even with money, you could buy clothes from Markus or other brands and use them as stage costumes. However, she felt that the brand acknowledged her sponsorship. It was obviously a different concept.

Wearing a luxury brand that is not often used on stage, Dowook was more colorful and luxurious than anyone else appearing on KVS music broadcast today.

The white shirt that was exposed when the jacket was taken off was also luxurious itself, but it was Do-wook's body that fans cheered for. His well-fitted pectoral muscles were clearly visible.

In addition, when the bass thud, thump, and the beat of a new song started, fans who were stunned could not stand it and shouted cheers.

"Kyaaaaa-!"

"Oppa Do-wook!!!"

"Do-wook! Ah!"

The stage that Dowook will reveal on today's KVS music broadcast was not just 'Please, Don't go'. Do-wook's solo album was released in two versions. There were two titles there. His first solo debut after coming out of a group. But even two titles. No matter who saw it, it was a great confidence.

There seemed to be a reason for his confidence just because he succeeded in working with Lee Geun-woo.

Besides 'Please, Don't go', the song Dowook prepared was a dance song. Ballad and dance to title. He is also confident that he is good at any genre.

And there is an exact basis for that confidence.

Do-wook started the choreography by stamping his feet to the rhythm.

Cry, cry, don't cry, darling!

All you have to do is come here, run against the wind!

If the existing dance songs of KK were of a genre close to hip-hop, Do-wook's solo dance song 'Darling' is a song that made use of the jazzy atmosphere.

With quick footwork as if dancing a tap dance, Do-wook recited lyrics that seemed to comfort his lover.

It is a live without shaking at all even though they moved their bodies quickly. It is a situation where everyone could be suspicious that AR had been installed.

However, while preparing for this solo dance song, Do-wook is well aware that he had to sing a song that is shared by several people.

Even if you sing with the same volume, the more you sing with your mouth in the center of the microphone while dancing, the better the sound will come together and your breathing will not interfere, and you will get a clear sound like AR.

Do-wook constantly studied and polished even those techniques.

Hey! (Hey!) Darling! (Darling!)

hold my hand!

By the time it reached the chorus, fans were singing along as if possessed.

Do-wook rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt and waved flexibly while making a gesture to check the watch. The choreography in which the sleeves are rolled up to show off the masculine beauty was created with great care and attention from the choreographer.

Whenever Dowook moved, the long cross-shaped silver earrings fluttered. He felt very stylish even though it was an item that could be tacky.

At that moment when the silver earrings fluttering from the ears shined, Dowook winked at the camera and the two consecutive performances ended.

"Aaaaaagh!"

"Kyaaak!!!"

"what should we do!"

"Amazing, Great!!!"

"Crazy... crazy..."

"Kang Do-wook!"

"Kang Do-wook!"

"Kang Do-wook!"

At the end of the stage, cheers erupted. Even as Do-wook was going down the stage, the cheers of fans chanting Do-wook's name showed no signs of ending. Do-wook's whole body is wet with sweat. His toes will tingle with excitement set in.

He went back and forth between tension and excitement, and Do-wook seemed to be possessed by something.

'Did I do well?'

Heading to the waiting room, Do-wook glanced back. He saw fans chanting their name.

Do-wook, who poured out all his energy on the stage, was exhausted but smiled sincerely.

People cheered on his stage. The happy faces looked difficult and fresh.

'thank god.'

***

The reaction of those who saw Do-wook's stage on the air was also explosive.

The second title song 'Darling', released at the same time, also ranked first in the entry ranking. As time passed, Do-wook's two songs, 'Darling' and 'Please, Don't go', are in a state of close competition for first and second place in the chart rankings.

Staying in the top 30 of the special sound source charts released by MOD just in time, it is proved that the idol music powerhouses are K.K and Dowook, who could not be followed by anyone. It is a case in which we could know exactly what the athlete's famous quote, 'My only rival is me', meant.

Even though the atmosphere of the two songs is completely different, the critics also liked it because they did not lose unity to fit into one album.

The stage video was praised enough to cause live controversy. It was to the point of saying that it was okay to do everything alone after leaving KK.

"Do-wook! Congratulations!"

"Great job!"

"Hyung! It was really great."

KK members who greeted Do-wook, who returned to the waiting room. The members came to the waiting room in time for Do-wook's stage to end and are waiting for Do-wook. It is to cheer Do-wook.

"Thank you. Thank you."

Dowook greeted each member. They are the members who shared his worries until he released his solo album, and helped him as if it were their own work. Dowook who practically accomplished everything, but the support of the members is a great strength.

Dowook is really grateful to the members who unselfishly supported his success. If the members were not cooperative, it would have been difficult for Dowook to release a solo album.

In other groups, it is usually when one of the members released a solo album as a representative of the members of the group, but there is no noise within KK.

"Ah! You can't miss a picture on a day like this! Let's take a picture! Hyung, please take a picture."

At Ahn Hyung-seo's words, Gu Chul-min accepted the phone. The members stood in a line. Do-wook is holding a bouquet of flowers delivered to him by the members.

"One, two, three!"

The moment Koo Chul-min said 'set', he pressed the button.

***

Dowook's first solo schedule, excluding the music broadcast of this activity, was a photo shoot. Do-wook, who arrived at a studio in Cheongdam-dong, is entering the studio alone while manager Cheol-min Koo parked the car.

The originally scheduled time is 3 o'clock, but Do-wook arrived at about 2:45 in the spirit of coming early and preparing. Do-wook, who is walking up the stairs, stopped at the sound of words coming from the hallway upstairs.

He could hear the conversation between the editor and the photographer.

"Kang Do-wook?"

"Eh. He had a jacket shoot the other day, K.K. He is polite and nice. Write a good article."

"What are manners?"

"Why.. everyone is praising."

"That? It's all fake."
