Become A Music Monster Overnight! [EN]: Chapter 33

11. Debut.

When the camera turned on again, the screen seemed to shake.

That was because a terrifyingly huge face filled the screen.

“Hey! Do you want to give people a heart attack? Why are you shoving that face into the camera?”

“Is that so?”

His already menacing face frowned as if he was angry, making him look exactly like a yakuza [member of a Japanese organized crime syndicate] from a famous Japanese fighting manga.

However, the person berating him was not intimidated, even though he was looking at that terrifying face right next to him.

“If you have any conscience, move it! Do you want people to keep looking at your mug on a fun Friday night?”

“‘Beep!’ Okay, I’ll move. I’ll move.”

Instead of him, who disappeared from the camera in anger, the face of a handsome middle-aged gentleman who probably made quite a few women cry in his younger days appeared on the screen.

“Um. I’m Park Si-young, the main guitarist of Black Tiger. I’m being used like a slave by the master of the G1 band.”

“I’m Moon Il-beom. I’m the bassist and slave number 2.”

“I’m Kim Il, the sub-guitarist. Slave number 3.”

Then someone snatched the camera away from them. It was a middle-aged man with a handsome face, but with a different feel from the handsome middle-aged gentleman who had appeared a moment ago.

“Hey, you guys, stop it. Ahem. Hello? The guy who got upset and disappeared earlier is Kwak Do-hoon, our team’s drummer, and I’m Jang Tae-sik, the keyboardist. The kids are currently receiving training from Park Young-chan, our team’s vocalist and CEO.”

He showed them through the glass in the practice room door.

The scene beyond the soundproof glass was gloomy, as if it were the end of the century.

In an atmosphere as if a typhoon had swept through, the kids were wiping their red eyes with exhausted and tired expressions, nodding their heads.

“Ah~!@#!”

Jang Tae-sik swore as he saw a different image than he had expected on the screen, and hurriedly turned off the camera.

-Static!-

When the camera turned on again, Ji-won was there with eyes as red as a rabbit.

Seeing her swollen face, it seemed like she had been crying, but apart from that, her face was as bright as could be. She made a V-sign with her fingers and waved it.

“Hehe. I finally got praised. It’s only once out of the ten assignments I was given… Right now, the other kids are also getting praised in a similar way, and they’re so relieved that they’re fainting.”

Ji-won, who was showing the members sprawled out and asleep on the large sofa with the camera, called out to the master, who was also the main character of Part 2.

“Master. Master! This is ‘Legends of Rock’.”

“Ah! Was that filming today?”

“Yes. Please say hello to the viewers of ‘Legends of Rock’.”

“Um. Just a moment.”

Young-chan, who lightly suppressed Ji-won, who was suddenly trying to point the camera at him with one hand, roughly tidied his hair before holding up the camera himself.

At that moment, the screen suddenly switched, and the reactions of the audience were captured on a huge screen installed in a huge indoor concert hall with over 4,000 people.

The screen initially showed general audience members, and then showed invited guests such as famous idols.

Their ages and genders varied, but their reactions after seeing the screen were all the same.

Their faces were a mixture of surprise and shock, as if they had seen something unexpected.

Just when the viewers’ curiosity on TV had reached its peak, the screen switched and Young-chan’s face filled the screen.

Only then could viewers understand the audience’s reactions.

Young-chan, who was appearing on TV for the first time, gave off a feeling that was not easily expressed in words.

He was handsome, but not so handsome that it was surprising.

Maybe it was because he wasn’t trying to doll himself up, but among the specially invited guests who had briefly appeared earlier, there were definitely one or two who were more handsome than him.

However, the moment people saw Young-chan, they couldn’t take their eyes off him.

The aura flowing from his indescribable dignity relentlessly attracted people’s attention.

Young-chan, who shocked people simply by showing his face, greeted them in a somewhat tired voice.

“Hello? ‘Legends of Rock’ viewers. I’m Park Young-chan, the vocalist of Black Tiger, who is also working separately as YC.”

Afterwards, Young-chan expressed his gratitude for the excessive love that the G1 band and Snow Lady, who called him master, had received.

Ji-won couldn’t hide her surprise at the master’s excellent hosting skills, which didn’t seem like it was his first time on air.

“There’s really nothing Master can’t do. By the way, I really want to listen to this album soon. There are still songs I don’t know.”

“I already played it for the ‘Legends of Rock’ production team, and they’re having trouble choosing the songs.”

“Song selection?”

Young-chan, seeing Ji-won not understanding what he meant, smiled broadly at the camera and said.

“‘Legends of Rock’ has invited us.”

“Yes?”

-Click-

With Ji-won’s questioning voice as the end, the screen and the lights that were illuminating the indoor concert hall suddenly went out at the same time.

The audience, who had been captivated by Young-chan’s appearance, were embarrassed by the sudden situation.

They wondered if it was a broadcasting accident.

“!!!!”

However, a huge pin spotlight illuminated the stage, and the audience couldn’t hide their surprised feelings at what they saw.

The pin spotlight was shining on the members of Black Tiger, who they had seen in the video a little while ago, who were ready to perform and greeting them.

The huge screen began to capture them one by one, and when it finally captured Young-chan, people became silent for a moment.

“…..”

He didn’t seem nervous at all, and his relaxed smile made them speechless for a moment.

That’s how shocking Young-chan’s appearance was right now.

His appearance on the screen a little while ago was disheveled from his daily life, but now, with his full makeup on, his aura was even more intense.

His appearance with full makeup was as good as an actor with a strong personality, and when that was combined with his aura, it was no wonder that people were speechless like this.

Young-chan tilted his head at the sight of the suddenly silent audience and brought the microphone to his mouth.

“I’d like to greet you again. Hello. I’m Park Young-chan from Black Tiger. I’m honored to be making my debut performance on ‘Legends of Rock’ like this. Let’s skip the boring comments and start the stage right away. The first song is ‘Old Soldiers Never Die’ (90’S).”

-Doo doo doo doom!-

As soon as he finished speaking, an enormous drum sound that seemed to smash everything began to reverberate like thunder.

It was because Kwak Do-hoon, who had never been on such a big stage as an indoor concert hall, was excited and put more power into his sticks than usual.

Then, the amazing sounds of two guitars harmonized with the drum sound, and then the keyboard and finally the bass were added, and this rock, reminiscent of the blues, immediately captured the hearts of the audience.

Coming to ‘Legends of Rock’ as an audience member meant that they loved rock.

Naturally, they realized from the intro alone how amazing ‘Old Soldiers Never Die’ (90’S) was.

But no matter what they expected, Black Tiger gave them more than that.

“Ah ah ah~. Yes, I’m back. Like always!”

With Young-chan’s rough yet clear vocals, ‘Old Soldiers Never Die’ (90’S) began to show a better side than any of the legendary rock albums of all time.

As the song continued, the audience felt as if their hearts were about to explode, and that pain naturally brought out adrenaline.

-Wow ah ah ah!-

From then on, without anyone saying anything, they cheered like crazy and fell into ‘Old Soldiers Never Die’ (90’S).

“You don’t understand me? But look! I wasn’t wrong!”

No one felt that the time of 6 minutes and 20 seconds was long at all. Rather, they just wanted this time to last forever.

But eventually the end had to come.

‘Old Soldiers Never Die’ (90’S), which had driven everyone into madness like a short dream, came to a false end.

When the music that had made them run wild on their own suddenly ended, the faces of the excited audience were filled with deep regret.

“Hahaha.”

Young-chan, who was chuckling at the sight of the audience, soon looked at the members.

It wasn’t just the audience who were excited.

His members were also flushed with excitement.

‘Yes, I wanted to see this. I wanted to feel this.’

If Young-chan was asked to pick a few of the things he envied the most in that other world, one of them would be Black Tiger’s activities.

This sense of elation, as if they had become one being that they could understand without speaking, was something that could only be felt during Black Tiger’s activities.

That’s why he dreamed of band music again even though he had reached the top where he envied no one.

‘Now I don’t have to envy this anymore.’

He had finally achieved the dream that he had never achieved in that other world in this place, so Young-chan was probably the happiest and most excited person in this place.

Young-chan tried to hide his trembling heart and brought the microphone to his mouth again.

“We’ll continue right away. The next song is ‘Black Tiger’.”

-Jijijijijing!-

If the previous song was rock based on the blues, Black Tiger, which starts with a noisy guitar sound from the beginning, is rock music based on metal.

“Oh oh oh oh!”

Young-chan’s voice, which gradually escalated as if a huge engine was noisily warming up, was more than enough to fill this huge indoor concert hall.

At the same time, the band’s sound also escalated, and the moment Young-chan, whose warm-up was over, began to sing in earnest, the concert hall was already a frenzy of excitement.

“tiger tiger black tiger~. Black tigers are great hunters!”

‘Black Tiger’ is a song about laughing at the hunters who came to hunt them and hunting them instead.

In other words, Black Tiger was also a song that declared that the Black Tiger band was an unrivaled existence with no natural enemies.

If the title ‘Old Soldiers Never Die’ is the identity of the Black Tiger band, then this song called Black Tiger is a goal to write a new history.

Was it because it was a song with such a wish?

At some point, the audience shouted ‘tiger tiger black tiger~. Black tigers are great hunters!’, which had become the chorus, and became one with Black Tiger’s music.

At this moment, the entire concert hall created the illusion that it had returned to the era of early classical metal in the 1970s.

“black tiger~!”

At the end of the song, Young-chan continued the breath of the last note for a whopping 30 seconds with a scraping voice like the metallic sound unique to metal.

Perhaps it was because the sight was amazing, the audience stopped cheering as if they had made a promise.

-Doo doo doo doom! Kwaaang!-

With that last rough drum sound, Black Tiger came to an end.

-Wow ah ah ah!-

-Black Tiger! Black Tiger!-

Black Tiger was also a song that lasted over 6 minutes, but like before, no one felt that the song was long. In the midst of the crazy heat, the audience shouted Black Tiger.

It was unclear whether it was because the chorus of the song was stuck in their mouths or whether it was praise for the Black Tiger band.

However, one thing was certain: everyone who heard their music here had become their fans.

Young-chan looked at the audience shouting Black Tiger with fiery eyes and turned his head back to the band.

It was because he felt that everyone was having trouble controlling their strength because it was their first time on such a big stage.

‘It seems okay so far.’

Young-chan had naturally known where their limits were as he had been pushing and pushing his uncles all along. Maybe it was because adrenaline was being secreted, but at this point, it seemed like they could keep singing without a break.

Young-chan immediately continued the stage with the next song, ‘Followers’.

Followers had the color of early alternative rock.

It showed the typical appearance of alternative rock, which included distorted and intense guitar riffs, simple song composition, socially critical or emotional lyrics, and an attitude of resisting monsters.

The emergence of Nirvana, which led the alternative rock that was created as an alternative to the past solidified heavy metal, was truly shocking.

And the followers that Black Tiger played gave people a taste of the shock that people felt back then.

It was so shocking that the cheers stopped for a moment.

“Heup~ Haa~.”

Before he knew it, the followers had ended, and Young-chan took a deep breath and regained his breath in the hot heat pouring onto the stage.

Young-chan, who quickly regained his breath, looked at the members.

‘You should rest now.’

The members, who looked as if they had taken a bath in sweat, definitely seemed to have reached their limit. However, Young-chan had already expected this situation, so he just smiled.

Well, originally, he should have had time to catch his breath by making comments in between the stages, but Young-chan didn’t intend to do that from the beginning, so it’s no wonder they’re so tired.

Above all, they were consuming more stamina because they were playing beyond their limits due to Young-chan.

“About 5 minutes?”

Originally, it was time that should have been filled with comments in the middle of the stage, but Young-chan had no intention of doing so from the beginning.

-Tak-

He finally picked up his guitar, which he had set up since he got on stage.

Suddenly, the audience’s eyes were filled with doubt when Young-chan, the vocalist, showed off his guitar.

It was because they didn’t understand the current situation.

Young-chan, taking in the doubtful looks of the audience, drew a big arc on his lips and immediately started playing the guitar without any comments.

-Da da da dang! Jijijijijing!-

Solo guitar performance.

That’s how his guitar solo, which would later be remembered as a legend, began.
