A New Career Singer Who Can Read The Future [EN]: Chapter 90

It eventually led to a breakdown.

Hue Ent. sued Ok-nyeo.

It was the first time Ok-nyeo had caused trouble on such a scale.

Ok-nyeo responded to the lawsuit with a countersuit.

She claimed she never did such a thing and that the lawsuit was unfair.

Hue Ent.’s reason for suing Ok-nyeo was for alleged sexual harassment of one of their artists.

The dissemination of false information was considered, but after consulting with their legal team, they decided not to include it due to ambiguity.

Both Do-hyun and Ok-nyeo were investigated by the police.

The media’s attention was focused daily on the Do-hyun/Hue Ent. versus Ok-nyeo case.

Ok-nyeo also voiced her grievances through media outlets sympathetic to her.

It was a mudslinging contest, plain and simple.

Ok-nyeo was not detained, but she gradually lost her footing in the entertainment industry.

It was a natural consequence.

From the start, the entertainment industry avoids involvement with individuals who damage their image.

Complaining about being wronged only works once or twice.

The legal battle progressed quickly, and just in time for Hue Ent., another piece of evidence was released.

A video surfaced showing Ok-nyeo suddenly kissing Do-hyun on the cheek.

Fans who discovered this preserved the video to prevent it from being deleted and sent the evidence to the agency.

Because of this, Ok-nyeo became disadvantaged in public opinion and legally, and was eventually fined.

“Um… it’s Ok-hee. Can you take a call?”

Ok-hee started calling celebrities in her contact list to leverage her connections.

[Ah, Ok-hee. Sorry. I’m busy right now; I’ll call you later.]

[Ok-hee, I can’t answer the phone right now.]

[The customer is not answering the phone…]

[I’m sorry, but I’d appreciate it if you stopped contacting me.]

“No, after all I’ve done for them! Now they’re ignoring me?”

Ok-hee was angry, but her connections were only beginning to unravel.

Checking her connections with celebrities was only a temporary measure.

This time, she tried to contact the press.

“Chief! Do you remember me? It’s Kim Ok-hee.”

Click.

Beep beep.

The call was disconnected.

“Oh my, Reporter Kim? Do you remember me? It’s Kim Ok…”

[I’m sorry, but who is this?]

“You really don’t remember me? We did an interview not too long ago.”

[I’m sorry. It sounds like spam. Goodbye.]

Do-hyun was able to learn about Ok-nyeo’s situation through Kang-ho.

“Do-hyun, that Ok-nyeo… I heard that’s what happened to her.”

“That’s a relief, that’s what happened. I guess you could say it’s a karmic ending.”

“It’s better to see it as karmic, right?”

“I hope the person who harassed me doesn’t set foot in this industry again. Anyway… I should work on my music with peace of mind.”

“Okay, you’ve been looking gaunt lately, so take care of your health. Should I buy you something?”

“No, hyung [older brother or close male friend]. Let’s go to the cafeteria together later.”

“Okay, I’ll contact you.”

Do-hyun had just finished a brand new song in his studio.

He had contacted PD [Production Director] Lee Jun-hyuk a little while ago, so PD Lee was with him.

“PD-nim [term of respect for the PD], what do you think? I wanted to make music of such quality that I wouldn’t regret releasing it as a free track for Monthly Do-hyun, but rather wonder why I didn’t include it on a formal album.”

PD Lee asked to listen to it one more time.

Do-hyun played the song.

The song started playing.

PD Lee listened to the end and then opened his mouth.

“What do you think about collecting 12 of these songs and releasing them as ‘Annual Na Do-hyun’?”

Do-hyun was thrilled by PD Lee’s positive reaction.

“If that’s possible, it would be great for me too!”

“Hue Ent. will provide artists with unlimited opportunities musically. This is very good. Let’s work hard until 10 ‘Annual Na Do-hyun’ albums are released, or even more.”

[Have you guys listened to Do-hyun’s Monthly Do-hyun?]

└I feel like I’m going to burst into tears ㅠㅠㅠㅠ The lyrics reveal what he was thinking while working alone in the studio

└This is why I have no choice but to be a Na Do-hyun fan ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ To be honest, I hated him even though I knew it was an absurd dating rumor, but my heart has returned

└Hyun-ie blocked my exit from leaving the fandom with concrete. There is no leaving the fandom now. Let’s go together forever, let’s go to a dinner show, Na Do-hyun

└Do-hyun, I love you, you’re the only one, you’re my one and only

└Do-hyun, let’s get married

└I was thinking of taking a break from being a fan for a while, but Do-hyun, I’m sorry for not knowing your sincerity ㅠㅠ

└To be honest, I realized and understood a lot after listening to this song. I thought again about Do-hyun’s attitude towards music, and I wanted to be with Do-hyun forever. I felt it greatly even though I had other thoughts for a while

In one corner of Yeonnam-dong Park in Seoul, also known as ‘Yeontral Park’ (a play on ‘Central Park’), staff members were rushing to install sound equipment.

Passersby said, “Looks like someone’s busking again,” and passed by.

At that time.

Do-hyun was practicing with his guitar.

The first album’s title track and B-sides, the repackage album’s title track and B-sides, and even the songs released as Monthly Do-hyun, which can be heard on music streaming charts.

The songs were diverse.

It was actually cold weather for busking.

It was the transition from autumn to winter.

However, Do-hyun insisted that he had to busk now and requested it from the company.

As a result, the staff was installing sound equipment and even heaters in Yeontral Park to prevent people watching and Do-hyun’s fingers from freezing.

“Do-hyun, I think you can stop now. Let’s get your makeup done.”

Do-hyun shook his head at Kang-ho’s words.

“No. Hyung. I’m just going to do it with a natural look without makeup. I want to show that side of me. It’s a surprise busking, so if it looks too prepared, wouldn’t it feel less genuine?”

Do-hyun’s argument was firm.

The sound should be properly prepared, but he would not dress up.

“…Well, if that’s what you want. I understand.”

Do-hyun nodded and put down the guitar he was holding for a moment.

Then he shuffled the tarot cards.

Monthly Do-hyun was successful, and new fans took the place of the fans who had left.

He thought he was falling, but he had only landed for a while.

Do-hyun thought of those fans and drew a card to see if he could finish the performance safely today.

[Three of cups]

A card depicting three goddesses holding cups and rejoicing.

‘Today’s fortune is good. The result will be satisfactory. I hope the fans will be happy.’

* * *

The car Do-hyun was in arrived at the edge of Yeonnam-dong.

Do-hyun got out of the car with his guitar.

He walked to Yeonnam-dong Park with Kang-ho’s guidance.

“Wow! Isn’t that Na Do-hyun?”

“헐 [Korean slang for ‘OMG’]. I think it’s really Na Do-hyun?”

“Looking at him with a guitar, what is he here to do?”

“When we passed by, there was a big busking sound equipment installation!”

“Shall we follow him?”

The number of people following Do-hyun like the Pied Piper increased.

Eventually, Do-hyun arrived at the busking venue.

People were already standing in a circle.

The sound equipment staff took the time to check the equipment again.

Do-hyun took the guitar out of the case.

He put on the guitar and warmed up his voice.

‘The wind is cold.’

Wearing a mustang jacket, he felt the cold wind and held a hot pack to keep his hands from getting cold.

“Ah ah…! Hello, everyone.”

“Woooooah! Hello!”

“It’s Na Do-hyun!”

“Yes, it’s me, Na Do-hyun. Nice to meet you, everyone.”

“What brings you here?”

“I came here to busk. I wanted to share my music with you.”

Kyaaaaaaa─

Waaaaaaa─

Do-hyun’s memory went back to the ‘You First Singer’ busking mission.

How nervous he was when he was busking then!

“Hearing your cheers reminds me of when I was on a music competition program. I remember being so grateful for all the cheers at that time!”

“Sing us a song!”

“Well, the first song is… the title track of the first album.”

Do-hyun adjusted the height of the microphone and began to sing.

The audience huddled together and enjoyed Do-hyun’s performance.

* * *

[Na Do-hyun is now in Yeontral Park]

[Na Do-hyun’s current location is Yeonnam-dong!]

[Where are you, Ravita homma-nim [dedicated fansite admins] ㅠ Do-hyun is in Yeontral Park now ㅠ]

[Homma-nims ㅠ Please give me Do-hyun’s fancam [fan-recorded video] ㅠ]

[Who will take a fancam for me instead of going to see Do-hyun]

[No, Do-hyun is suddenly busking today?]

[Everyone, I’m watching Do-hyun with my friend; my hands are shaking ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ [Korean abbreviation for trembling]]

* * *

A fan who happened to meet a friend and saw Do-hyun’s performance right in front of her. Ordinary people who were just walking down the street with their lovers and saw Do-hyun. Everyone was enjoying his performance.

“Wow… there’s a reason why he won. His voice is really good.”

“Can you believe that someone like that was buried for 10 years?”

“It’s really amazing, amazing… how did he live as an unknown?”

“His voice is even better live than the original recording. It’s amazing.”

Do-hyun looked around and greeted the audience every time he sang a song.

The busking stage felt new to him, who had been away for a while.

“Everyone, are you listening well?”

Woooooah─

Clap clap clap clap clap─

Applause poured out.

Do-hyun was very happy at this moment.

He thought he was destined to be a singer.

Even though he lived as an unknown for a long time, he was so happy with just this small stage.

“I think I’m happy thanks to you all. It’s getting chilly. I’ll play a song that’s good to listen to in early winter. Please listen to ‘Warm Winter’.”

When did it start

That this winter doesn’t feel cold

It’s a warm winter with you

Will you always be with me

It’s a warm winter with you

Do-hyun’s voice traveled on the wind.

The crowd of about a hundred people had almost doubled.

Do-hyun did not stop smiling at the people watching him while playing the guitar and singing.

‘This is happiness, what else is happiness?’

* * *

“Huk, huk… Is Do-hyun still performing? How long do you think it will last?”

Reporter Yoo Ha-na had just arrived at the scene.

She had been in Hapjeong and found out about the news late.

Reporter Yoo was exhausted because she couldn’t catch a taxi and walked from Hapjeong to Yeonnam-dong at a fast pace.

“I heard the staff say it would take at least an hour?”

“Excuse me, I have a group here. Sorry!”

Reporter Yoo said as she pushed through the crowd.

Finally, Reporter Yoo Ha-na stood in front of Do-hyun.

She took out her camera and started taking pictures of Do-hyun.

She was planning to upload the photos and videos taken today with the warmest colors possible.

She was sad that she couldn’t hear her favorite song, ‘Warm Winter,’ from the beginning, but she was grateful that she could listen to Na Do-hyun’s Monthly Do-hyun songs.

Click click click click─

Not only people like Reporter Yoo, who had a professional camera, but also ordinary audience members were watching Do-hyun’s performance.

His voice was literally giving them a warm winter.

Do-hyun sang about 10 songs.

It was almost like a mini-concert.

Do-hyun’s hands were so frozen that it was difficult to play the guitar, but he still gave a sincere performance.

Photographers who were nearby had come to film Do-hyun.

“Everyone, thank you so much for listening!”

“No, Do-hyun! Let us hear more!”

“I’ll play the last song. Unfortunately, today’s performance will end here. The last song is the song I recently uploaded to the free music platform. The song title is ‘With you’. Thank you again for listening in this cold weather.”

Every passing breeze reminds me of your face

Why is this, why is that

Is it because the time I spent with you was precious

Is it because I miss the moment I was with you

I realized it now

Anywhere is good if we are together

Anything if we are with you

Anything if we are with you

With you With you With you
