Jun's hectic schedule

37th floor, Genesis Entertainment Agency HQ;

While the goddesses of the Twilight group are on the way, in the meantime, YG took the job of discussing the upcoming six weeks schedule to Jun.

If it is someone else, the decision would have already been made by the management and will be informed to the manager but Jun proved to them that he is enough worth to be given enough freedom. Of course, it also has more to do with the fact that he is currently a solo artist. Compared to the idol group, a solo artist usually also has more freedom in several agencies.

"Your first promotions will start 2 days later. At first, we only planned on actively promoting the main track but the music charts results changed the company's decision."

"Music charts?" Jun was visibly surprised. He actually never looked at them because, in his mind, only YT mattered until now. He interrupted YG with a question, "what is the rank?"

This time, it was YG's turn to get surprised. "You never saw it?"

As Jun shook his head, YG informed him about the results as he showed the file he got from the PR department, "Your song was released at 8 p.m. of 24th April. Until now, roughly about 36 hours have been passed and in the real-time charts of Genie, Bugs, Mnet, Naver, Melon, and Soribada, whatever the site you name, your second track, "Clap" has been on the top position for the past 17 hours.

In iTunes, Clap is still in the number 1 position across eight different regions like Japan, Hongkong, Thailand, Australia, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

As for the main track, Mmmh is occupying the top 3 in every site. This is why we have decided to promote both of them. But, it will put more stress on you. So, we'll have to discuss it and finalize it by the end of the day. If there's a day you need rest or you are uncomfortable about the program or something, don't hesitate to tell it."

Jun took the list and read it immediately with a feeling that everything is going on in his way.

"The schedule is so hectic…" Jun was stunned by the list but he didn't complain to YG because he just debuted. So, he should use every opportunity that comes at him to increase his popularity.

Putting aside the list, Jun then looked at YG, "I have just a small doubt though. Why are there two running man shootings?"

"Well, you know… it isn't easy to get you to promote in that program. There are other idol groups and actors competing for it. If we use all our influence, we might be able to get you a spot in one of those two episodes. If you get the first one, then, the remaining will be given for the Radio program," replied YG truthfully without hiding anything.

After brief thinking, Jun nodded, "okay, I can manage this."

Seeing that Jun wasn't against any program, YG continued, "From the 10th of June, you will focus on the group activities. Of course, it goes without saying that you also need to make up some time for practice sessions and go through the last three weekly evaluations before the group debut.

Along with that, if you get offers from any brands, you might also get busy with advertisements and commercial films.

So, think twice before accepting this schedule."

Jun glanced at the list once again and sighed inwardly, "man, looks like they aren't going to even let me breathe air properly but then again, I'll be able to do it."

He decided on going through YG's plan. Ever since his dancing skills crossed 8 points, his movements became faster, almost never forgets a part of the choreography, and sometimes, he would even get ideas about new moves.

Overall, his creative ability is almost on par with a decent choreographer. With choreography not showing in the stats, Jun could only wonder whether it is related to the dance skill.

As for his singing, with 9.5 points for vocals, at present, his skill has already surpassed the best singer in the world. Jun could easily memorize the lyrics and the composition of the entire song with just a simple glance.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he would beat any singer as there's something such as experience, techniques, etc…

What he was confident about it that he wouldn't mess up with the weekly evaluations as long as he spent some time on them.

Placing the list at the table, Jun opened his mouth, "I think I…"

*Ring* *Ring*

A phone ring interrupted him. YG looked at it and picked up the call.

After a few seconds, YG said okay and cut off the call. He then got up on his feet. Jun did the same, out of respect.

"Jun-ah, keep the list with you for now and discuss it with your manager. Let's go to the recording studio. Twilight group is here…"

As soon as Jun heard of the name, he silently kept the list in his pocket. After following YG until the exit of the office, Jun excused himself to go to the toilet. There, he took out the Pendrive from his inventory and returned with it. Because the corridors and the office rooms have CCTV cameras, Jun had no choice but to resort to this method. Just imagine, what could have happened if someone witnessed Jun pulling a Pendrive out of thin air…

Taking deep breaths due to nervousness, Jun slowly went to the recording studio only to realize that they haven't arrived yet. He sighed in relief and took the seat.

But, very soon, a group of seven, in casual wear, arrived at the studio room along with two cameramen. Jun's eyes fell on them and he abruptly got up on his feet.

Along with a decent-looking lady manager, seven beautiful idols stood beside each other. For some reason, some of them looked just as nervous as him. Maybe, it's because it's their first meeting.

Manager Oh Yeon Joo introduced Jun to the idols, although they might have already known about him because of his extraordinary debut.

"This is Sky."

Jun's eyes kept attracted to the tallest girl of them, standing at the far right.

Jun tried his best to control his emotions and greeted with a formal bow, "Hello, my name is Han Sung-Jun."

Then, a girl counted the numbers in response and everyone greeted together at the same time with a smile. "2, 3..."

"we're Twilight..."

Then, each of them introduced themselves.

"Hello, I'm Lee Siyeon, leader of the group."

"Hello, Siyeon-ssi." Jun greeted again with a smile. He already knew about that but he was still surprised that she was the leader when there are other stars in the group. Was it because she's the only Korean? Whatever the reason is, it didn't matter.

"I'm Lisa…"

One by one, they introduced themselves. With Mina, Nancy, Tzuyu, Yuqi, and Yiren on the board, it is pretty much a non-Korean team. Well, Nancy has Korean roots but she's an American citizen. The only odd one is Siyeon.

He didn't have much impression of her in his past life. So, he didn't understand why she was the leader. But, once the recording began, where he asked all of them to try every part, Jun realized her vocal prowess.
