A New Career Singer Who Can Read The Future [EN]: Chapter 191

Kyaaaaaa?!

The cheers reverberated throughout Jamsil Olympic Stadium.

As Do-hyun appeared on the extended stage, the volume of the cheers intensified.

“Na Do-hyun! Na Do-hyun! Na Do-hyun!”

The fans chanted his name in unison, a rhythmic wave of adoration.

The reporters, seasoned professionals, felt a surge of excitement as they witnessed the spectacle.

*Is this what a superstar’s stage presence truly feels like!*

The reporters’ fingers flew across their keyboards, a flurry of activity.

They were driven by the desire to publish their articles before anyone else, capturing the essence of the moment.

Every single movement Do-hyun made was meticulously documented and reported.

After performing five songs consecutively, Do-hyun grasped the microphone and addressed the audience.

“Hello, this is Na Do-hyun! Please take care of me!” His voice boomed through the stadium.

Waaaaaa?!

“Everyone, it’s been a long time, hasn’t it? Did you wait long? I apologize for making you wait so long.”

“No! Do-hyun! Waiting wasn’t boring at all!” A fan with remarkably powerful vocal cords shouted from the second tier of the audience.

The audience erupted in laughter, appreciating the fan’s enthusiastic declaration.

“I’m relieved to hear that you weren’t bored. I prepared a lot of content for you while you were waiting. Did you enjoy it?”

Do-hyun had diligently created vlogs and various other content for his Korean fans and his global fanbase.

Despite his admittedly amateur editing skills, each video effortlessly garnered over a million views.

With comments praising his gradual improvement, Do-hyun’s vlog had affectionately become known as a ‘meal buddy’ among his fans (a term of endearment suggesting companionship during meals).

“I’m aware that you refer to me as your ‘meal buddy.’ I suppose that indicates my skills have improved, wouldn’t you agree?”

The fans responded with another wave of laughter, amused by Do-hyun’s playful self-awareness.

“It brings me immense joy to see you all laughing. It feels like I’ve returned to my hometown. Oh, it feels good. Ah, of course! I don’t mean to imply that overseas performances weren’t enjoyable, you understand?”

“We know, Do-hyun!”

“Wow… it appears there are many individuals here today with superior vocal abilities compared to my own. Very well then, now that I’ve concluded my greetings, I shall return with the next song!”

Do-hyun swiftly exited the stage.

As soon as he was backstage, the stylist promptly handed him a fresh set of clothes.

His hairstyle was quickly altered to a half-up style.

The VCR [Video Cassette Recorder, referring to a pre-recorded video segment] was scheduled to play for approximately five minutes.

Changing clothes and styling had become a routine, executed with practiced efficiency.

“Wow, Do-hyun. The audience looks exceptionally beautiful today, don’t they?”

Do-hyun nodded in agreement with Kang-ho’s observation.

Despite his extensive experience on stage, he felt an inexplicable wave of emotion, a lump forming in his throat whenever he performed in a Korean concert hall.

Especially when his gaze swept across the audience.

What was once a sea of purple had transformed into a vibrant tapestry of colorful lights….

Regardless, the sight of the audience from the stage was undeniably breathtaking.

“Indeed. I nearly teared up again when I saw it. Ah, one minute remaining.”

Do-hyun carefully made his way beneath the main stage, ensuring he didn’t collide with any of the stage’s structural elements.

It was time for a selection of calmer, medium-tempo songs.

Accompanied by the gentle strumming of a guitar.

The staff had meticulously tuned Do-hyun’s guitar in advance.

Do-hyun placed his hand on the strings, familiarizing himself with the feel, and then reappeared on stage.

Kyaaaaaa!

Since Do-hyun’s establishment as a respected singer-songwriter, the number of people who appreciated his performances had significantly increased.

This also meant that his guitar-playing skills had improved considerably.

Of course, Do-hyun remained dedicated to his practice, never neglecting his craft.

Do-hyun beamed as he gazed at the sea of white lights illuminating the audience.

And he began to sing.

‘Like a small starlight / You are / Always shining / You are / Will you always be by my side? / You are always like a dream to me’

Once, before embarking on an overseas tour, he had consulted a tarot card reader.

The card he drew at that time was [The Star].

Do-hyun felt that the stage that day mirrored the essence of a starlight.

The song he was currently performing was inspired by the emotions he experienced that day.

Do-hyun couldn’t suppress a smile as he watched the fans swaying gently from side to side, their movements synchronized with the rhythm of the music.

*If he had succumbed to despair during his long and arduous journey to recognition, would he have ever been able to experience the same level of happiness he felt now?*

Absolutely not.

He reaffirmed to himself that he was destined to live and breathe on stage, regardless of the challenges he might face.

The performance continued seamlessly, and Do-hyun proceeded to change his attire once more.

This time, he opted for a more provocative concept, featuring a see-through outfit as the focal point.

While the previous segment had gently stirred the hearts of the fans with soothing, medium-tempo melodies, this segment was designed to ignite their passions with a sizzling performance.

He had even choreographed elaborate dance moves to complement the music.

“Wow, there’s a reason why he’s Na Do-hyun….”

Among the reporters present, many were captivated by the spectacle unfolding on stage, their mouths agape as they simultaneously attempted to write their articles.

Approximately half of the reporters had already abandoned their laptops, choosing instead to immerse themselves in the performance.

The cue sheet, containing the order of performances, had been distributed by Hue Entertainment prior to the concert, allowing them to focus on providing honest and insightful reviews.

Even reporters who initially had little interest in the singer Na Do-hyun were now completely enthralled.

“I know… there’s a reason why he’s Na Do-hyun… Wow… how can a person possess such charisma? He’s like a fox [cunning and charming]. He even resembles a fox.”

“I know. I had heard rumors that he was a fox-like individual, but I didn’t realize the extent of it. He truly is a fox… Na Do-hyun, who has even managed to captivate me, a man….”

“My wife had expressed her desire to attend the concert today, and I almost suggested she cover it instead of me, but I’m glad I came. I’ve finally realized how talented he is as a singer. I didn’t fully appreciate his abilities before.”

The male reporters continued to express their admiration.

Reporters Yoo Ha-na and Yoon Min-hye exchanged knowing glances and subtle smiles.

They couldn’t conceal their pride as devoted fans, even though they weren’t the ones receiving the accolades.

“That’s right. Na Do-hyun is the only artist capable of commanding the stage to this degree, truly… Wow… Na Do-hyun is simply the best.”

Reporter Yoon Min-hye muttered to the reporter seated next to her, feigning nonchalance.

The reporter sitting beside her confessed that she had officially become a fan of Na Do-hyun as of that very moment.

“I really… I think I’m seriously captivated by Na Do-hyun… How can he be so multifaceted? Singing, composing, dancing… and even maintaining such strict self-discipline… he’s truly remarkable… truly.”

“I know. Honestly, he’s astonishing even from this distance, so the fans in the seats below must be on the verge of fainting.”

Reporter Yoo Ha-na casually joined the conversation.

Reporter Yoo offered a knowing smile as she observed the reporter next to Reporter Yoon, who continued to gush about Do-hyun.

*If everything went according to plan, the three of them might become friends and hang out together.*

“Na Do-hyun has always been exceptional. It’s just that the Korean media has been slow to recognize his talent.”

Reporter Yoo stated with a hint of haughtiness.

It was an undeniable truth.

Despite his numerous prestigious awards overseas, the lack of recognition in Korea stemmed from the media’s inadequate coverage.

Furthermore, Hue Entertainment had deliberately refrained from excessive press releases.

*That’s the nature of the media. They tend to focus on sensational awards, but they rarely delve into the intricate details of the processes involved in achieving those awards. They primarily generate articles based on topicality.*

In a way, Do-hyun had been a victim of the media’s selective attention.

He garnered significant attention after winning eight Grammy Awards, but if he had only won one or two, he would have remained a fleeting headline.

And the media tends to prioritize actors, movies, and dramas over the music industry.

*I’m not sure how they arrive at such value judgments, but they are strangely reluctant to acknowledge the accomplishments of the music industry.*

*Do-hyun has received relatively less attention from the media thus far. But if he delivers a performance like today… he will undoubtedly receive the recognition he deserves.*

As a long-time admirer of Do-hyun, Reporter Yoo felt a surge of happiness.

It was an opportunity to showcase Na Do-hyun’s undeniable charm to the world.

*Being a fan alone is enjoyable, but sharing that passion with others is even more fulfilling.*

It was around the time when the reporters were collectively marveling at Na Do-hyun’s performance.

Clack?

The lights abruptly went out.

“What’s happening? Is this a special stage effect? All the lights suddenly went out?”

A reporter muttered, his voice laced with confusion.

The murmurs spread throughout the audience.

“Uh…? It doesn’t seem like a special stage effect since Do-hyun’s voice is still audible….”

All the lights remained extinguished, and even the backing music (MR – Music Recorded) ceased, but Do-hyun continued to sing.

It was at that moment that the reporters realized the gravity of the situation.

“Wow… I heard they prepared meticulously, but it appears the staff made a significant error.”

“I know. This is a newsworthy event. I need to write an article immediately….”

While the reporters frantically opened their laptops, captured the scene with their cell phones, and composed their articles.

Flash?!

The stage lights flickered back on.

And the lights focused directly on Do-hyun.

Do-hyun, who should have been visibly embarrassed, calmly sang along to the music with a relaxed demeanor.

“Everyone, are you familiar with this song? Shall we sing it together?”

He even had the presence of mind to extend the microphone towards the audience, encouraging them to participate.

‘Grammy 8 Awards’ Na Do-hyun, Unfazed by Concert Incident

Na Do-hyun, Is This the Power of the Grammy 8 Awards?[ReviewDA]

Articles flooded the major online portals in an instant.

Do-hyun’s composed reaction was captured on numerous cell phone cameras.

However, some reporters speculated that the accident had been deliberately orchestrated to provide them with a compelling story.

The public relations team leader and team members diligently visited the press seats, assuring them that “it was a completely unforeseen accident.”

“Hey, why would Na Do-hyun intentionally cause an accident? These concert tickets cost 160,000 won [approximately $135 USD]. To provide value to the fans… you wouldn’t deliberately create a problem. In my opinion, it was simply an accident.”

“Still… who knows? Considering that the accident occurred on the day when they granted the entire area to the reporters and provided extensive coverage, perhaps they did it on purpose?”

“Na Do-hyun is not in a position where he requires media attention, honestly.”

“That’s true… but you never know.”

While the discussions continued in the press seats.

Do-hyun, having finished the song, grasped the microphone and addressed the audience.

“Everyone!”

“Yesss!”

“Yes!”

“Do-hyun, you worked hard!”

“A sudden incident occurred in the middle of the performance, but I’m incredibly grateful for your generosity in enjoying the stage!”

“No, you worked hard!”

“Honey voice Na Do-hyun!”

Do-hyun’s face flushed slightly at the fans’ enthusiastic shouts.
