Chapter 96

"Hello, everyone! Friends of the audience!~~ Infinite~~~!"

"Challenge~!"

"Today, PD Kim Tae-ho has once again gathered us here outside the normal shooting hours. I wonder what kind of special episode he has prepared to torment us this time?" Standing on the empty ground of the MBC TV station parking lot, after greeting the camera, Yoo Jae-suk directly asked Kim Tae-ho.

"Yeah, even though the shooting time for the program is clearly set, PD Kim Tae-ho, you have never followed it." However, before PD Kim Tae-ho could speak, Yoo Jae-suk's brother, Yoo Jae-tae, interjected with a complaint.

Moreover, as soon as Yoo Jae-tae finished speaking, Jung Joon-ho added, "And every time we shoot, it's always overtime. PD Kim Tae-ho, haven't you felt ashamed about it yet?"

In response, PD Kim Tae-ho, who was already used to being teased by everyone, replied expressionlessly, "If you don't want to come, Jung Joon-ho-ssi, you can choose not to. I won't stop you."

Bang~!

The first skull of this shoot is presented~~ Haha!

"I~~ I didn't say~~ I won't shoot~~~!"

Seeing Jung Joon-ho's helpless and aggrieved face, Yoo Jae-suk quickly stepped in to salvage the situation, "Alright, PD Kim Tae-ho, shouldn't you tell us what the content of this shoot is now?"

"It's like this. After our production team's research and discussion, we have decided to hold the first Infinite Challenge Song Festival~~!"

In~fi~nite~ Chal~len~ge~ Song~ Fe~sti~val~?

~~~Silence~~~

"Song Festival?"

"Infinite Challenge Song Festival?~~ What's that?"

"Are you asking us to sing?" Hearing the sudden noisy voices, Yoo Jae-suk confirmed again with PD Kim Tae-ho.

"Yes, you will create your own songs and perform them. It will be a song festival exclusively for Infinite Challenge!" Nodding affirmatively, PD Kim Tae-ho continued calmly.

"PD, are you joking?" Chae Sung-hun, the chubby one, couldn't imagine it. Although they sometimes go to karaoke, they just shout and sing randomly. If they were to perform on stage... thinking of the embarrassing scene in front of countless audiences, even as a comedian who is used to making mistakes, he felt a chill.

"The production team's ideas are really creative~~~!" Everyone sighed.

Faced with the pessimistic mood that had enveloped everyone, Yoo Jae-suk, who had already been informed in advance, continued to ask PD Kim Tae-ho, "Not~~! PD Kim Tae-ho, none of us have ever received professional training. If we suddenly perform on stage, we won't refuse, but for the audience, this so-called song festival will just be a joke."

Nodding, Kim Tae-ho understood Yoo Jae-suk's point...

"Therefore, after careful deliberation by our production team, we have decided to provide you with a one-month crash course. During this period, you will need to create a song and perform it." Following Yoo Jae-suk's words, PD Kim Tae-ho finally finished explaining the content of this Infinite Challenge Song Festival.

Silence... Everyone knew this was a decision that had already been made.

So, everyone was carefully considering it in their minds.

"Since that's the case, let's hear everyone's opinions. Do you agree or disagree?" Seeing this, Yoo Jae-suk, being democratic, asked for everyone's opinions.

"Of course, I agree. The production team put so much effort into this special episode, how could we not agree?" The first to respond was the impulsive Park Myung-soo.

"Um~~ Can I choose to disagree?" However, Yoo Jae-tae weakly raised his hand and asked.

"No~!" ×6, and all eyes focused on Yoo Jae-tae.

"(⊙o⊙)... Then I agree too!" Indeed, so-called democracy is just a deception~~

"Alright, since no one has any objections, we will decide now. Although it might seem rash, we will move forward bravely. So, in the coming month, we will use our efforts to bring you a performance that is not too bad~~ Infinite~~"

"Challenge~~!"

The first segment of the shoot ended, and the production team began to pack up and move to the next location. The originally calm faces of everyone now showed a sense of unease.

"Jae-tae, are we really going to perform on stage?" Chae Sung-hun asked nervously. From a comedian to a variety show MC, although the journey was difficult, he had never imagined he would one day stand on a stage to sing.

"The decision has been made, so the performance will definitely take place. But, Sung-hun-ssi, don't worry too much. With our performance skills and singing abilities, the number of people who will come to watch us might be less than a hundred. It's not much different from our usual shoots, so just relax." Yoo Jae-tae comforted everyone, as in his memory, the first Infinite Challenge Song Festival had very few audience members.

Although his participation would make everyone take the first Song Festival very seriously, he believed that not many people would come to watch them, the comedians, sing.

Since Yoo Jae-tae said that, everyone calmed down. However, for this Song Festival, some were nervous, while others were excited.

For example, Haha was excited throughout the journey. After all, as a singer who debuted but became famous as a comedian, his passion for singing had never faded.

An hour later, in the largest practice room of JS Entertainment, the production team and the MCs were waiting.

Knock~ Knock~ Knock~

With a knock on the door, a slightly chubby figure finally appeared in the practice room.

"Brother Ho-yang, you finally came. We've been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing this figure walk in, Yoo Jae-tae immediately complained and then hugged him.

"Sorry, something came up suddenly, so I had to handle it." In response, Lee Ho-yang quickly apologized. With both his company's boss and the boss's brother present, he had to be a bit more humble.

Lee Ho-yang, nickname: Shinshadong Tiger (self-given)~~ Representative works: none for now... However, due to his outstanding musicality and composition skills, he has always been highly regarded by Kim Sung-woo and is being groomed as the future chief music producer of JS Entertainment. His participation in the Infinite Challenge Song Festival is also a test and a training opportunity for him.

As the boss of JS Entertainment, Yoo Jae-tae is very familiar with Lee Ho-yang and knows his future achievements. Therefore, he approves of Kim Sung-woo's decision to recruit and train him.

Similarly, because Yoo Jae-tae never acts like a boss when he 'wanders' around the company, after deliberately befriending Lee Ho-yang, their relationship has become quite close. Despite being the actual owner of the company, he has become the most approachable figure to the employees.

As for President Kim Sung-woo, Yoo Jae-tae thinks that since he has taken the 'white face' role, Kim Sung-woo should continue to play the 'black face' role.

(*^__^*) Hehe...
