Chapter 492 Minor Improvements
"Minzy Ong, despite only being in her mid-30s, is a well-respected producer in the country."
"Contrary to her father's wishes, she didn't stay in Azure Entertainment to work as their sole producer. Instead, she went from company to company or where her talent was needed."
"In the end, she was able to establish a name for herself outside of her father's achievements."
"You know, you don't have to whisper these things to me when the person we're talking about is literally sitting in front of us," June whispered into Jay's ear.
The manager shrugged before leaning closer to June, speaking a bit louder this time.
"I just thought you wanted some information or something. You're pretty clueless about these things," he said.
June opened his mouth to argue but realized that Jay was right. He didn't have a clue who the woman was when she first entered. He would have also never guessed that she was Mr. Ong's daughter based on how she looked.
It seemed like she took after her mother.
Minzy sat straight, her gaze impartial. June pursed his lips since it seemed like Minzy was a very objective being. Unlike Mari, who was confirmed to be a fan of them, June felt like Minzy was the type of person who didn't mingle her personal interests into the professional setting.
"Good morning, boys," Minzy said. "Ted called me here despite my busy schedule to listen to two songs."
The members turned to each other in surprise.
"Two?" Jay asked, speaking for the members.
Mari smiled at the members of EVE as if to reassure them.
"We also wanted to show her the song we produced. We tweaked it based on your guys' suggestions," she said.
Jay sighed in relief when he realized that EVE didn't have to make two songs.
June, however, was hit with the fact that Ted's proposed title track still existed. Again, it wasn't a bad song, but it wasn't the song for EVE. However, if what Mari had said was right and they had revised it based on EVE's comments, then he was expecting some improvement.
"Anyway, as I am a very busy person, I believe we don't have time for any introductions," Minzy said.
It also seemed like Mari had taken EVE's comments very seriously and indeed made the changes based on their comments.
"Well, how is it?" Ted excitedly asked, already knowing that they couldn't refute it was a great K-pop song.
Jaeyong pursed his lips and glanced at his members.
"It's an improvement," Jaeyong said. "I could actually see myself performing this particular song."
Ted smirked, delighted by the positive comment.
Then, Ted turned to June, wanting to hear his comment too.
The other members, Mari and Minzy, focused on June, too, genuinely curious about what he thought about the song.
June paused for a moment, wanting to build suspense.
"I must say, it really is much better than before," he honestly said. "It wouldn't be strange for this song to be in the album."
"However, I still stand by our song," June smiled.
"I believe it is still the better option among the two."
Ted's smile quickly dropped after June's comment.
Ted then turned to Minzy with a determined gaze.
"What about you, producer?" he asked, knowing that Minzy also wrote songs that had similar styles to the one that had just played.
Minzy pursed her lips before turning her notepad to a new page. She scribbled plenty of comments for this song, but she felt it wasn't the time to divulge her thoughts about it.
"I don't want to give my comments right away," she said, turning to EVE.
"Why don't we hear the next song first and see if it's really the better option among the two?"
