Autograph Session

  Signature Party 2018

  Time flew quickly to early June, Yoon Hyun's "Baby" promotion period has basically come to an end. Although on KBS his song is still holding strong in first place, because he had already achieved three consecutive wins and lost the qualification for the other two major TV stations' music programs, Yoon Hyun also didn't want to not attend, this invisibly took up a large part of his week, which made him somewhat annoyed.

  And according to the company's intentions, the remaining songs are also half-bad and half-good, it would be a waste of effort to promote them, so it's better to stop while they're ahead, after all, thanks to "Baby", Yoon Hyun has been dominating various music charts for over a month.

  However, Yoon Hyun still had a bit of attachment because he had been practicing the guitar for two months in order to sing "Dong Miss" on stage. Although it can't be said that he played well, but just giving up the opportunity to show off his hard work, Yoon Hyun felt that it would be regrettable.

  So under his repeated insistence, he obtained the company's permission to negotiate with various TV stations on behalf of the company. In the four farewell stages, as a special performance, he would sing one more song. This way, he could also sing his other four songs once each.

  The first start of MCD, naturally, is the rap that is currently ranked second on the music source chart. As Yoon Hyun's most wanted to show guitar singing, it was placed on SBS's popular song at the latest.

  June 10, 2007, SBS's Inkigayo recording scene.

  Because it was already mentioned in advance to SBS, this will be the last stage for Yoon Hyun's song promotion. There are no plans for another album from Yoon Hyun within this year, so it is expected that he won't appear on music shows again. Yoon Hyun also received special treatment from SBS this time and was arranged to perform last.

  It's probably because of the nearly dominant performance of "Baby" in the previous round, which made many companies with song release plans grit their teeth in hatred. So on this last stage, when Yoon Hyun went to pay respects to his seniors as usual, the stiff smiles on those seniors' faces finally became more vivid.

  Yoon Hyun found it amusing in his heart as well as in his eyes, but this didn't seem to affect his execution of politeness.

  Still with a slight bow, he backed out.

  So even if there are many complaints about Yoon Hyun's sudden popularity, the impression of Yoon Hyun is still not bad.

  Moreover, in the eyes of most singers, LOEN's original plan to release Yoon Hyun-sang's album while the iron was hot ended up pouring cold water over his own head.

  Yin Xian was listlessly holding a pen in his waiting room, scribbling randomly on a sketchbook, jotting down some notes that echoed in his mind, passing the time.

  It wasn't long before it was Yoon Hyun's turn on the farewell stage.

  So although Yoon Hyun was the final performer this time, there was still no competition for ranking.

  After taking the stage, it was naturally followed by the lively "Baby".

  As it has been almost confirmed that this will be Yoon Hyun's farewell stage for the year, many fans from Yoon Hyun's café also spontaneously organized to participate in this recording. This group of fans, named "Kimchi" by Yoon Hyun out of bad taste, held up light green balloons and danced along with Yoon Hyun under the stage.

  After finishing a song, Yoon Hyun returned backstage, changed into a black jacket, picked up his guitar and walked back onto the stage.

  On the stage, only a simple wooden stool was placed, with two microphones set up high and low. On the other side of the stage, a piano was set up, and Yoon Ji-hye sat in front of it wearing a long dress.

  The lights on the scene were all dark, with only a spotlight shining on the chair.

  Yin Xian sat on a chair and plucked the strings of the zither with his fingers.

  The piano prelude sounded, and the atmosphere immediately became as quiet as a deep night. The piano sound stopped, and the guitar sound and singing voice sounded at the same time.

  Yin Xianyong sang the whole song out in a sincere and slow tone.

  All the pickled vegetables followed the slow rhythm, slowly swaying the balloons in their hands.

  The recording scene of the popular song was like a personal concert for Yoon Hyun, with everyone quietly listening to his low, confessional-like voice.

  When Yin Xian sang to "fell in love with a wild horse, but there is no grassland at my home", his voice suddenly became very hoarse.

  This sudden change made everyone's heart at the scene feel like it had been tightly pinched.

  Many people's tears flowed down.

  When Yoon Hyun's singing ended, the piano sound at the end sounded again and stopped.

  The entire recording scene was as quiet as night.

  Until Yoon Hyun got up and bowed to the audience, the applause came like a delayed letter, sweeping across the entire venue.

  This time, one of the popular songs did not attract any attention later on, and almost everyone's attention was focused on Yoon Hyun's guitar singing.

  "For a long time, what we can be most proud of in the Korean music scene is that our singers' live stage performances have more charm than their MVs. This is also the foundation for K-pop becoming an important part of global entertainment. However, it's a fact that we've been reluctant to acknowledge all along - it's hard to find singers whose live vocals surpass those on their albums. But today, we're fortunate to see such a singer emerge. Yoon Hyun used his unique, raspy voice to move almost every audience member in the venue to tears. For this singer, I take back my previous comments and salute him with respect." A well-known music critic wrote in his column in the newspaper.

  Taking advantage of this somewhat unexpected successful stage, Yoon Hyun's image in the minds of many fans seems to have improved a bit.

  However, Yoon Hyun's fan café was the first one established by fans and later taken over by LOEN Entertainment after negotiations with the founder, but the number of fans inside has always been maintained at an awkward number of less than 5,000 people.

  Also, due to the number of fans not being ideal, Loen didn't dare hold a fan signing event even after the album was released. However, it's strange that Yoon Hyun-sang's album has been selling steadily over the past two months without any major fluctuations or significant decline.

  Finally, at Yoon Hyun's request, Loen mustered up the courage to arrange a fan meeting and signing event for Yoon Hyun.

  Because the momentum was really insufficient, in order to prevent any problems with the crowd, the company chose a location at Myeong-dong, which is famous for its large number of people. Although they boasted to the event organizers that there might be 400-500 fans on site, Kim Soo-hyun privately thought that if there were 200 people, it would already be something to smile about.

  It was Saturday morning, and Yoon Hyun followed his usual routine of waking up, exercising, and getting dressed before heading to the beauty salon for a simple styling. He then followed his manager to the event venue in Myeong-dong by car.

  Yoon Hyun actually didn't have high expectations for how many people would show up in person.

  He insisted on holding this meeting with the company because he was under too much pressure from fans in the fan café. Especially those fans who joined the café at the beginning and were already familiar with him, they would ask him questions every time they saw him appear on the forum, to the point where Yoon Hyun was afraid to show up in the café.

  There will probably be around 80-90 people coming just for me? This is what Yoon Hyun has in mind.

  But the scene really scared Yoon Hyun a lot.

  The signing event was scheduled to start at 10 o'clock, but by 9:30, the outside was already packed with people.

  "Are all these people here to see me?" Yun Xian was stunned, staring blankly at his agent who had a pleased smile on his face.

  "Rubbish, or are you here to see me again?" Kim Soo-hyun gave Yoon Hyun a cold glance.

  "So many people signing, I'm afraid my hand can't take it..." Yun Xian's first reaction was to sign...

  "Even if I lose a hand, you have to sign it for me!" Kim Soo-hyun said viciously. "This is what you asked for yourself, and at the time, I was even trying to stop you!"

  "I'm going to take you to court for abusing labor!" Yun Xian let out a desperate and hoarse cry.

  Although he was worried about whether his hands could complete this arduous task, Yin Xian's mood was exceptionally good.

  It was soon 10 o'clock, and Yun Hyun took the stage as usual to say a few words, thanking the fans who came, then performed "Miss Dong" live on the spot, taking away not a small number of people's tears once again.

  However, agent Kim Soo-yeon felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy and forced Yoon Hyun to sing "Baby" on stage before officially starting the autograph session.

  The first one is a girl, Yoon Hyun knows her, named Park Jeong-hyun, the founder of his own fan café.

  "Wow, you're up so early!" Yun Xian had a good impression of this girl. She was a very loyal but not overly enthusiastic fan, the kind that Yun Xian considered to be the best.

  "I came over and lined up at more than 6 o'clock this morning!" Park Jeong-hyun said with a proud look.

  "Wow! You find studying easy? Don't sleep well at night?" Yoon Hyun knew that today was the weekend, so he wouldn't use excuses like skipping school to chat with her.

  "It's been a few months, but it was worth waking up early for nothing." Park Jeong-hyun smiled brightly as she received the signed album from Yoon Hyun, who had even written a special No. 1 serial number on it. She voluntarily made way and bounced away with the signed album in her arms.

  After that, the signature proceeded with a relatively regular process. Yoon Hyun asked for the other person's name, wrote it on an album or poster, and signed his own name. At this time, Yoon Hyun was very grateful to his parents for giving him a two-word name...

  In the autograph session, Yoon Hyun discovered an interesting phenomenon that is different from most other idol singers. The gender ratio of fans who came to ask for his autograph was surprisingly harmonious, with a male-to-female ratio of almost 1:1, which is almost unimaginable for other singers.

  Moreover, the age structure of people who came to attend Yoon Hyun's autograph session was also polarized. On one hand, there were young girls in their early teens, and on the other hand, a group of men over 40 years old formed a strange crowd.

  Compared to other idol singers who often hear "Oppa, I love you" at fan meetings, Yun Hyun heard the most "Thank you for your song, I really like it." This kind of praise made Yun Hyun feel extremely honored.

  The guilt in his heart grew heavier due to plagiarism.

  The autograph session lasted from 10 o'clock until nearly 2 o'clock, and ended only after the intervention of the organizers. Faced with many fans who still hadn't gotten a signature, Yoon felt apologetic and promised to sign for everyone again next time, before singing his self-written rap song one more time to wrap up the enthusiastic autograph session.

  Yoon Hyun's popularity came quickly, and it also faded away quickly. Because just one week after Yoon Hyun bid farewell to the stage, another divine-level song appeared on the music scene.

  The name of this song is "Lies".

  But for Yin Xian, these things are no longer worth paying attention to.

  He received an unexpected invitation because he stopped singing.

  Inviting Lee Yoon-jeong, the director from his last MV.

  It was an invitation for Yoon Eun to audition for a TV drama directed by her, titled "Coffee Prince 1st Shop".

  This name had a faint impression in Yoon Hyun's memory. After reading the script sent by the director, Yoon Hyun became more and more convinced that this play would definitely be successful.

  Then, following his principle of participating in every important matter, Yeon Hyun also seriously prepared for this play.

  The director's invitation to him was the male lead, using the role of Yin Xian's previous life that he saw online, it is simply a story about a domineering president falling in love with me.

  So as the male lead, the role positioning is actually very simple.

  Then Yeon Hyeon realized why Lee Yoon Jeong thought of him for this male lead role.

  The last MV shooting left Lee Yoon-jeong with an impression: he is a introverted and profound man who is not good at expressing his emotions.

  In short, two words: nothing.

  This is simply the most perfect footnote for the overbearing president series!

  Fortunately, he also felt that he was actually a man...

  Yoon Hyun's audition was with Jeon Bo Ram, Lee Ji Hyeon and Ham Eun Jung. Unlike Yoon Hyun who auditioned for the male lead role, the other three were auditioning for some minor roles...

  The director issued an invitation just because he thought Yin Xian was okay, but it's still far from confirming that he can get this role.

  Just like when Yoon Hyun entered the interview room, at least the screenwriter's gaze towards him was scrutinizing.

  However, Yoon Hyun was already well-prepared and got into character from the moment he entered the room.

  Yoon Hyun's portrayal of this role is still quite stereotypical. However, some things that come from Yoon Hyun's heart make this stereotype look very rich, such as the occasional fearful gaze or some nonchalant expressions.

  When all these things are combined to form a full and three-dimensional image, even the screenwriter who had an attitude of scrutiny at first can't help but admit that Yoon Hyun's portrayal of this character is more substantial and complete than what he thought when writing the script.

  So, Yoon Hyun's first TV drama was settled like this.

  The day after settling on his role, Yoon Hyun took the doctoral dissertation he had prepared in his previous life and returned to school to hand it over to his supervisor, then applied for a master's degree.

  The instructor looked at the thesis handed over by Yin Xian very seriously, and then remained silent for a long time before slowly saying: "I can let you graduate with a master's degree, but I also hope you will apply to read a Ph.D. As for when you can graduate from your Ph.D., it doesn't matter, but you must stay in school; otherwise, it would be a waste if a child like you didn't pursue academic studies."
