Chapter 1326 reprimand
You should know that the Red and White Song Festival is the top music festival in Japan. Every year, no Japanese singer doesn’t want to participate in the Red and White Song Festival, because being able to participate in the Red and White Song Festival is itself a symbol of identity and status.
Those who are qualified to participate in the Red and White Song Festival are basically the top celebrities in the Japanese music scene. Or they are singers who have developed well in Japan this year, are very popular and influential singers.
The Oriental God, Girls' Generation and Kara were able to participate in the 62nd Red and White Song Festival, which is enough to prove the success of the development of the three groups in Japan.
"Girls' Generation is not right. Kara seems to be going to participate in the Red and White Song Festival too!" Seeing that Girls' Generation is actively preparing for the 62nd Red and White Song Festival in Japan, Kim Yu-fan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously raised his head and looked at Kara members who were quietly lowering their heads and familiar with the songs. He suddenly remembered that it seemed that Kara was going to participate in the Red and White Song Festival too.
Although Kim Yu-fan attaches more importance to the Chinese market in his heart, this does not mean that Kim Yu-fan does not pay attention to the Japanese market. After all, no matter what, the Japanese market has been opened by BOA and Oriental God, and now it has become the number one overseas market in the Korean music industry. Moreover, the Japanese market is far larger than the Korean market and has strong economic consumption capacity. Of course, Kim Yu-fan will not ignore the Japanese market.
Otherwise, why would Kim Yu-fan make Kara concentrate on Japan's development? At the same time, singers under MC will start to enter the Japanese market. Even Kim Yu-fan himself will cooperate with director Takashi Miike to shoot movies, which can be considered entering the Japanese market.
Although the Chinese market is large, much larger than Japan, at least so far, the Chinese market cannot be compared with the Japanese market.
After all, for the Korean music scene, the Japanese market has matured. Nowadays, as long as you develop a team or a solo singer in South Korea, you can easily gain a foothold and achieve success as long as you go to Japan. This is far from comparable to the current Chinese market, because the Chinese market is still a barren mountain for the current Korean music scene and has not been developed. It still takes enough time to have pioneers like BOA and Oriental Shenqi in Japan to develop, so that the Chinese market can accept Korean singers and Korean music.
Therefore, in just a few years, at least five years, MC's first overseas market will be Japan, not China. Of course, if Kim Yu-fan and MissA are powerful and can open up the Chinese market, MC will also officially enter the Chinese market in advance.
But so far, Kim Yu-fan still attaches great importance to the Japanese market.
I thought that Kara would also attend the Red and White Song Festival, but Kara actually returned to Korea and started to be busy with her new album, so she had no time to prepare for the Red and White Song Festival.
At this moment, how could Kim Yu-fan still be able to keep silent?
"By the way, Kirley, it seems that this time you Kara has also been invited to attend the Japanese Red and White Song Festival, right?"
Although he was asking, Kim Yu-hwan's tone was full of affirmation. How could Kim Yu-hwan, as the president of MC, not know about this? He just didn't think of this before. Now that he thought of this, Kim Yu-hwan also remembered that Hong Seung-sung had told him about this, but he nodded in person to agree to Kara attending the Red and White Song Club.
"Ah, I'm!" He didn't expect Kim Yu-fan to suddenly ask this. Park Gyu-ri was stunned for a moment, but he still answered subconsciously.
Kim Yu-fan glared at her eyes and said with dissatisfaction: "Since you know you want to participate in the Red and White Song Club, have you prepared for this and practiced?"
"This..." For a moment, Park Kyu-ri didn't know what to say. Isn't this obvious whether he had practiced or not? Kara volunteered to return to Korea, and all her thoughts and time were devoted to the new album of the return, so where would she have time to care about the Red and White Song Club?
But judging from Kim Yu-hwan's current reaction, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Kara's preparations and practices for the Red and White Songs. So even Park Kyu-ri was looking at Kim Yu-hwan carefully at this time, and he didn't dare to say anything else.
Looking at Park Gyu-li and the expressions of the other four people, Kim Yu-fan knew that Kara was really focused on putting all her energy into the new album. As for the Red and White Song Club, it was probably forgotten by Kara and the other five.
Seeing this result, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but feel angry. Kara was able to participate in the Red and White Song Club, which is enough to prove Kara's success in Japan in recent years. In this successful process, Kara needs to put in a lot of effort. Behind Kara, MC company also needs to put in a lot of effort to make Kara come to this day and be qualified to participate in the top Red and White Song Club in Japan.
Now, Kara just wanted to return and block Girls' Generation and WonderGirls, and actually forgot to participate in the Red and White Song Club. This is equivalent to giving up the Red and White Song Club. How can this be done?
Let’s not talk about Kara’s return, whether it can stop Girls’ Generation and WonderGirls. If it is certainly possible, it’s okay to say, but if it can’t be done and also give up the Japanese Red and White Song Club, it’s not worth it.
To put it bluntly, Kara is completely angry with Girls Generation and WonderGirls, and the price is to give up the Red and White Song Club. The price is really too high.
You should know that this is the Red and White Song Festival, but the top song event in Japan. Kara gave up the Red and White Song Festival. This also means not giving face to the Red and White Song Festival, and not giving face to the Japanese Broadcasting Association, the organizer of the Red and White Song Festival, which will even directly cause strong dissatisfaction and anger among the Japanese singers participating in the Red and White Song Festival, and may even cause dissatisfaction and anger among all Japanese citizens. This price...
This is like the Chinese Spring Festival Gala. It is definitely the highest stage. Inviting you a Korean artist to participate in the Spring Festival is already very considerate, but you don’t come to participate because of other things and give up on the Spring Festival Gala. This is definitely a big slap in the face.
Once this news spread, there is no doubt that this Korean singer will definitely become the object of unhappiness among all the big names participating in the Spring Festival Gala, and will also become the object of very dissatisfaction and anger among the Chinese people.
The highest stage of your own country is abandoned by your disdain. What is this? It is a reflection on our country. In this context, there is no need for anyone to provoke or incite. All Chinese people will hate this Korean singer very much.
Now Kara's situation is almost the same. As long as Kara really gives up the Japanese Red and White Song Club, after this incident spreads, Kara probably won't be able to survive in Japan.
Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan was completely angry and suddenly stood up and pointed at Park Gyu-ri and roared: "Do you know what the consequences and costs of doing this are? Ah!"
Before Park Gyu-ri could explain anything, Kim Yu-fan continued to roar: "You must know that you Kara can be qualified to participate in the Red and White Song Club. In addition to your own efforts, there are many efforts from many people. Do you know?"
"Just just to stop Girls' Generation and WonderGirls, you even made the result of giving up the Red and White Song Club and giving up all your efforts in Japan over the years. You are still children, how can you fight? Is it interesting? And the price is so high, do you know? Are you mentally prepared? At least you can bear it."
"What is the difference between your choice now and WonderGirls being forced to go to the United States by Park Jin-young, and you also know the final result of WonderGirls. It can be said that your choice this time gave up the Red and White Song Club, which was even greater than the consequences of WonderGirls entering the United States. Because they were helpless, and you took the initiative, do you know what this means? You really disappointed me very much."
At the end, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and sat back on the chair.
At this moment, the recording studio seemed particularly quiet. Facing the angry Kim Yu-fan, Kara and the other two stood cautiously, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Kim Yu-fan, let alone say a word.
After being silent for half a minute, Kim Yu-fan sighed: "Forget it, all this is my reason. It's all my fault. I'm spoiling you too much, which makes you become a little unruly now and don't even know how to cherish it."
Speaking of this, Kim Yu-fan suddenly looked at Kara and said slowly: "It seems that I need to let you Kara calm down and reflect on it so that you Kara can know and know how to cherish it. It seems that over the years, I have protected you Kara so well, making you all forget how you first debuted."
Park Gyu-li likes Kim Yu-hwan, so he usually observes Kim Yu-hwan very carefully, so he is the person who knows Kim Yu-hwan the most among Kara.
Now, when Park Kyu-ri heard Kim Yu-hwan's words, he couldn't help but look at Kim Yu-hwan's expression. After seeing Kim Yu-hwan's face with helplessness and a hint of heartache in his tone, Park Kyu-ri was shocked because Park Kyu-ri knew that what Kim Yu-hwan said to Kara now was not a joke.
If he doesn't speak, Kim Yu-fan will really let Kara reflect on himself, and the best result is to let Kara refrigerate for a period of time.
Thinking of this, Park Gyu-li couldn't help it anymore and quickly bowed: "OPPA, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't think too much about it. I've let you down. Please don't be angry. Give us another chance. We will do it well and work hard to ensure that we won't disappoint you."
Although Han Seung-yeon and the other two didn't know why Park Kyu-ri said this, the four of them were not stupid. It can be seen that Kim Yu-bun was really angry and was very disappointed with Kara.
So, Han Seung-yeon and the other two also learned from Park Gyu-ri and bowed ninety degrees: "OPPA, I'm sorry, I really disappointed you. Please give us another chance."
"You can give you opportunities, but it depends on your Kara's performance in this Red and White Song Club. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your Kara himself. Anyway, I will make the final decision based on your performance in the Red and White Song Club. Okay, I'm tired too. If you are willing to prove yourself, then set out to Japan now and concentrate on preparing for this Red and White Song Club."
"Nei, we know!" Park Kyu-ri didn't dare to say anything at this time, so he quickly bowed and responded, then took Kara members to bow to Kim Yu-fan again, then turned around and left, walked out of the recording studio door, took out his cell phone and started calling the agent, asking the agent to arrange it and go to Japan as soon as possible.
Watching Kara leave, Kim Yu-fan sighed helplessly. Fortunately, he checked the Girls' Generation itinerary for nothing, otherwise he would have forgotten that Kara also participated in this Red and White Song Festival. Once the loss really happens, it will be too late to say anything at that time.
From this Kara incident, Kim Yu-fan also saw some problems, that is, he and Hong Seung-sung. To put it bluntly, the company gave its artists too much freedom and trust. Many times there are too many dangers hidden behind this, or the company and the artists involved do not know it, nor do they realize it, but once the loss breaks out, it is really too late.
Not only that, the company's relaxedness and lack of much restraint on artists makes artists a little willful. This is not a good thing, not only is it a good thing, but it is even a very bad thing. It must be paid attention and taken seriously.
Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he was always good to the company's artists and trainees, and this may not be a good thing. Sometimes some constraints and strength are also necessary. At least, if Kara is in today's case, it would definitely not be possible if it was placed in S?M company.
While Kim Yu-fan was still sighing, Park Kyu-ri, who had just finished the call with his agent, took Kara members directly to the dormitory without saying a word, preparing his luggage and then leaving for Japan.
"Oni, why did OPPA get so angry this time? What's wrong with us? Did we do something wrong?" Looking at Park Gyu-ri, who had a cold face, Ni couldn't figure it out and couldn't help asking.
"Nicole, stop talking, let's know the dormitory first." Han Shengyan stopped Nicole, who was still going to say something, pointed to the surroundings. There are many employees around her in the music building. This kind of thing is not a good thing, and there is no place to celebrate, so there is no need to make everyone know it.
Although Nicole was a little confused, she was not stupid. She quickly understood what Han Shengyeon meant, so she nodded without saying anything, but just followed Gou Hara honestly and rushed towards the dormitory.
At the same time, Kara and the five people's reactions and situations were naturally seen by the staff along the way. Although they didn't know what was going on, looking at Kara and the five people's expressions and the rapid pace, they all indicated that Kara and the urgent things were happening now, and it was still an urgent matter.
So, the staff did not speak to talk to Kara and the other two. On the contrary, they made way for the way to avoid delaying Kara's time. This also made Kara and the other two secretly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, avoiding the embarrassment of being asked by the staff.
"Okay, don't say anything now. Use the fastest time to prepare your luggage, faster." This is the first sentence of Park Gyu-ri after returning to Kara dormitory, and this sentence made Kara members walk to their room very quietly and quickly and start preparing their luggage.
Park Gyuli didn't say anything, just kept packing his luggage. Because this time he went to Japan just for the Red and White Song Festival, he really didn't have to pack a lot of luggage. Besides, in the Japanese dormitory, there were many things, so there was no need to worry about getting big bags from South Korea to Japan.
After packing his luggage, Park Gyu-ri sat on his bed. Thinking of Kim Yu-fan's angry side just now, he gradually fell into silence.
Although he was a little surprised and even a little confused at the time, now he calmed down and thought about the reason why Kim Yu-fan was furious, Park Gyu-ri suddenly realized that Kara seemed to be too willful this time.
Although Kara has developed well in Japan, she is not the best one, and has not yet reached the level of ignoring the Red and White Song Club. This time, because of Girls' Generation and WonderGirls, Kara's choice is a bit willful.
Not to mention Kim Yu-fan, even himself, Park Gyu-li would probably be very angry.
Thinking of this, Park Gyu-li couldn't help but smile bitterly. What did he really think this time? Why did he forget the important things of the Hongbai Song Contest and why did he forget it? He also brought the members back to Korea to prepare a new album in order to compete with Girls' Generation and WonderGirls. This time, his captain, really failed.
"Keyli, what are you thinking?" At this time, Han Seung-yeon suddenly walked in and saw Park Gyu-ri who was thinking. She came directly to Park Gyu-ri's side and sat down, asking with concern.
Because the relationship between the two is so good, although Park Gyu-li is two months older than Han Seung-yeon, he is still close and friends. Han Seung-yeon rarely calls Park Gyu-li and Park Gyu-li doesn't mind it either.
"Haha, nothing!" Park Gyu-ri shook his head with a wry smile: "I just found that we think too naively about many things. I guess we really disappointed OPPA this time."
When Han Seung-yeon heard that Park Gyu-ri was thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel silent. After all, Han Seung-yeon was also a member of Kara, and Han Seung-yeon also supported this decision at the time, so in the face of Kim Yu-hwan's anger, Han Seung-yeon didn't know what to say.
Chapter completed!
