This is a fine evening in Gangnam. At one secluded corner of the elite Gangnam Bar, are sat three gentlemen ; Vocals, Visuals & Dance. They are engaged in a heated debate over who matters the most in K-Pop.
Vocals slams his fist on the table & thunders. 'Kpop is ME. I AM Kpop. K - Pop is K- Vocals, literally'. He gestures furiously with hands. How could these idiots not get it? 'No group, no solo would exist without me-'
'AM I A JOKE TO YOU?' comes an angry outburst from across the bar. Vocals upon turning, finds Auto Tune fuming in a table farther away. Vocals glares at him. The audacity!
A loud burst of laughter brings his attention back to his table. He turns to find Dance & Visuals struggling for air after cracking up.
'Oh honey' Dance starts dizzily. He's still oh so giddy from laughing so heartily. What a joke, Vocals is. 'There's PLENTY of groups & soloists that exist without you just fine'. He takes a big gulp of air. 'And there's PLENTY who have reached the top without your presence so much as ever gracing em either. ' He loosens his necktie. Gosh it's so hard to breathe. 'And the newest generation don't even sing!'
Visuals nods his head in agreement. Auto Tune raises his beer & bows his head in appreciation.
'You know what gives the new gen that extra edge over their seniors tho?' Dance asks Vocals haughtily. 'ME! I AM what makes em fabulous. ' Dance pauses at each word for more emphasis. 'I AM what make em. I AM what makes kpop'.
'I AM WHAT MAKES KPOP-' A loud voice from a neighboring table disrupts their conversation. All three of them turn in unison to see the angry red face of Rap. They stare with squinted eyes as Rap unravels. 'THERE'S NO KPOP WITHOUT ME. I AM WHAT MAKES KPOP-'
"NO." All three of em shout together & turn back to their conversation. Rap goes back to his martini, looking crestfallen. Nobody takes him seriously in K-Pop. Perhaps he should go back to the States.
'You have graced your presence extensively on fourth gen, we know'. Vocals starts at Dance. 'But seems like you missed the third gen!'. He continues tauntingly. 'Or they ditched you, cus they dont need you & some even reached the top without you. '
Dance inhales sharply at this diss. Vocals stare triumphantly at him. The shit has hit home.
Visuals shakes his head at the stupidity of his two colleagues. How many more generations would his thick skulled friends need to realize that nothing matters in K-Pop except him, Visuals.
'There's ONE entity that is a MUST in every generation'. Visuals begins slowly. 'ONE entity that with each passing gen more & more emphasis has been put on'. He grows heated by the second. 'that the gen this is the ONLY qualification companies would be looking for is not far'. He finishes & stares expectantly at his two friends.
Dance & Vocals just stare back blankly.
'ME!' Visuals shout, raising his arms to the heavens & dropping them in exasperation. 'I AM that common entity every gen needs.' He explains agitatedly. 'Win the genetic lottery & you'll win the K-Pop lottery. ' He goes on. 'I AM K-Pop. I make K-Pop what it is.'
As he utters these words, he feels a presence behind him. He immediately turns behind. Dance & Visuals follow suit.
'Genetic lottery?' Gangnam Surgeon asks slowly, his arms crossed over his chest.
Visuals, Dance & Vocals stare in disbelief.
'If every idol from first gen onwards'. Surgeon spits his words out in his anger. 'debuted with the face they won with their 'genetic lottery'. Here, the Gangnam Surgeon adds air quotes. 'We wouldn't have a fourth generation in K-Pop'. He screams angrily.
'My scalpel is what makes idols. My scalpel is what always made idols.' He adds as both his pitch & color on his face rises. 'My SCALPEL is kpop. My SCALPEL will always always be Kpop.' At this he turns sharply & walks away, his hips swaying furiously.
Vocals, Visuals & Dance stare after.
