Episode 120

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s so obvious that Seo Eden finds Han Yeoreum adorable to death in the middle of summer – his approach is totally different from other MCs ㅠㅠ He genuinely cracks up just looking at her face, and Seo Eden acts like a real boyfriend toward Han Yeoreum… you know what I mean? Like how boyfriends want to see their girlfriends act cute, he kept pushing cute challenges on her lol

 

This clip is from my favorite I-leum couple♥︎

I-leum.

 

Now there was even a term that referred to Seo Eden and Han Yeoreum together.

 

“Han Yeoreum’s overseas followers have increased since she became the MC of Music N… Damn…”

 

It was thanks to properly receiving the benefits from Seo Eden, who had high overseas recognition. Foreign viewers watching Music N also called them I-leum and liked Seo Eden and Han Yeoreum as a pair.

 

“No matter how good her image is right now-. If fans see something wrong, her image can fall to rock bottom in an instant…”

 

The view count had already exceeded 200,000.

 

Though over 400 dislikes were showing on the dislike icon, the likes were equally matched.

 

“It’s not like I didn’t know. Han Yeoreum too-. The more she shows off here and there, the more people will find her annoying.”

 

 

 

-Looks like they don’t even know Seoyeon is a homebody and hyung collector, so they’re probably just talking nonsense without knowing anything about the idol scene ㅠ… (Likes 308)

 

For real, it’s so obvious they just dabbled in the pseudo scene in the West and came back lol. I really hate these pseudo wannabes trying to act all that

 

︎˪Here the fans go with their mental gymnastics again

 

 

 

Click- Click- Click-.

 

The eyes reading comments moved rapidly from left to right. The sound of the mouse wheel scrolling rang out incessantly.

 

 

 

-But the vibe of treating Hanyeoreum too much like a kid is bullshit… She’s 20 years old and clearly an adult, so it’s kind of off-putting…ㅜㅜ Of course she does show her duality as an MC (Upvotes 98)

 

︎˪I don’t even know where to start criticizing this one

 

 

 

“So… she should tone it down…”

 

Laughter flowed from between thin lips that had curved up endlessly.

 

Unlike last time, the atmosphere was split fifty-fifty. Indeed, there was no better attack angle for female celebrities.

 

 

 

[Do you want to log out?]

 

 

 

Click-.

 

Soon after logging in with a different ID, she rapidly pressed the keyboard.

 

 

 

Input: Girls who look like they’re from midsummer are naturally really experienced lol they have the face for non-stop dating

 

 

 

If it were a malicious comment that crossed the line, she would naturally face punishment, but this level of comment was well within the safe zone.

 

“But creating this kind of atmosphere…”

 

Was a tremendous fatal blow to that celebrity. Why else would entertainment agencies work so hard to build an image?

 

A celebrity is like a brand. Celebrities live and die by their image.

 

So she hoped Han Yeoreum would fall apart before she could properly establish herself.

 

“…Rather. Instead of Han Yeoreum…”

 

The bloodshot eyes that had been staring at the screen slowly turned beyond the laptop.

 

Do Gyeoul’s new soju advertisement poster was plastered on the wall like wallpaper.

 

“It would have been nice if Gyeoul had gotten the Music N MC position…”

 

Just then, on the portal site where she had posted about Han Yeoreum, an article about was visible. The corners of her mouth that had been raised just moments before instantly returned to their original position.

 

“Not even the lead role…”

 

The bright light from the monitor cast shadows over her expressionless face, as if she had never smiled.

 

“Just, just, just…! A mere supporting role…!”

 

Unable to control her trembling body, she fumbled for the mouse and gripped it again.

 

Then she clicked on that article. She scrolled down and pressed the dislike button first.

 

 

 

-She’s been the most eye-catching among new actresses lately, and her pronunciation is good too ㅋㅋ Great casting choice (11 recommendations)

 

-There definitely needs to be one character like that for seasoning. Action movies are boring when only old men appear~ Just cursing non-stop, tsk (Recommended 23)

 

-The influencer role is pretty good but the bright red hair is a bit NG lol.. these days kids dye their hair so freely so I guess that’s just how it is (8 recommendations)

 

 

 

Click- Click- Click-.

 

And she consecutively pressed dislike on all comments favorable to Han Yeoreum.

 

“So annoying…”

 

Her thumb had somehow found its way to her muttering lips. With a crunching sound, blood seeped from her fingertip.

 

Buzz-. Buzz-. Buzz-.

 

Just then, the cell phone placed next to the laptop vibrated annoyingly. She took in the name displayed on the screen once, then took a deep breath.

 

Then, as if nothing had happened, she answered the phone with a bright voice.

 

“Yeah. What’s up?”

 

The person on the other end of the line had such a cheerful attitude that they couldn’t even guess what had just happened.

 

-Eun Seol! Are you free this weekend? We agreed to get our nails done together last time. It’s a place that can do simultaneous treatments for two people. When I told them you have a habit of biting your hands, the owner said to bring you right away.

 

Eun Seol, who had been looking at her bitten hand for a moment, answered affectionately.

 

“Yeah. Should we do that?”

 

-You really need to quit the nail-biting habit quickly-. That’s the only way you can go to auditions.

 

“I should…”

 

Some people have to go to auditions, while others get pushed excessively by JC ENM in this unfair world.

 

“It’s not easy.”

 

Eun Seol smiled bitterly.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

“Oh, unnie, look at this. I’m totally a star. Look how they’re talking about me everywhere these days.”

 

“What’s this? Looking at such unbeautiful things rots your mind… Yeah yeah. When I look at you, you always search for and look at weird stuff.”

 

I couldn’t help but feel my heart swell as I looked at the post that made it to the best rankings. I had already made it to the best rankings several times.

 

Some days it was good posts, some days it was subtle hate posts.

 

“Originally haters and fans go together… This is really driving me crazy. I’ve grown this much…”

 

Goodbye to my days as unnamed woman 1. I really have become famous enough to be famous.

 

‘Who am I?’

 

I received a special jury award at the Seoul Drama Awards, achieved a whopping 247% Blu-ray sales rate with a web drama, had one whole fan attend the awards ceremony, appeared in the teaser trailer of this year’s anticipated work , am the protagonist of master Geum Bitkang’s comeback work , and am a rising actress with hate posts appearing on portal sites. Han Yeoreum.

 

“Stop looking at that and come stand in front.”

 

Dokgo Min, holding a camera, gestured to me.

 

I placed my hand over my swelling heart again. It seemed I needed to add one more line about who I am.

 

 

 

[Candied fruit and dried persimmons belong to the protagonist! The team supports ]

 

 

 

Han Yeoreum who received a coffee truck.

 

‘Though I half-extorted it.’

 

I briefly recalled a few days ago. As soon as the first filming schedule was set, I called Chu Gaeul.

 

-What? Why are you calling first for once? You’re usually slow to reply to texts too.

 

The words “That’s because you contact me from when you wake up until you go to sleep…” came up to my chin and barely went back down.

 

Chu Gaeul was quite a girlish type, contrary to her appearance. She still had that middle school girl sensibility intact.

 

‘She was so sulky about not being able to contact me during the training camp…’

 

It took some time to calm her down. But Chu Gaeul was still clicking her tongue as if she hadn’t completely gotten over being upset.

 

I spoke affectionately to my precious friend for now.

 

“Gaeul. Send me a coffee truck.”

 

-You contacted me because of that!!!

 

“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do in my life… a coffee truck certification shot…”

 

Chu Gaeul screamed that it was ridiculous, but she didn’t hang up the phone. It was proof that she was halfway convinced.

 

“I understand… Then I’ll ask someone else to do it.”

 

-What? Do you know any other actors besides me?

 

“Sorry for making you worry for nothing… Let’s pretend you didn’t hear that… Still, I thought having my closest friend do the first coffee truck would make for lasting memories… No. What am I saying. Really.”

 

-Hey! Han Yeoreum! Wait!

 

For reference, the only actors I know are Chu Gaeul and Ju Junseo. This was a fake.

 

I’m not close with Yoon Hyeonjo, and same with Gwak Cheolsik. Since I’m someone who knows what respect for elders means, I exclude the senior.

 

“I’ll be the first to get you a coffee truck later when it’s your turn, Gaeul… You’re definitely going to be a leading lady…”

 

-Hey! Who said I wouldn’t do it?

 

That’s how Chu Gaeul got hooked. I was about to move on to Ju Junseo when it happened.

 

Zing-.

 

 

 

[Chu Gaeul: What should I do for the coffee truck message? Should I handle it myself?]

 

 

 

Chu Gaeul sent a message to the group chat as if to show off to Ju Junseo. Then, not even 3 seconds later, Ju Junseo called me.

 

“Hello…?”

 

-Are you dividing people by how close you are to them now? Why did you make Chu Gaeul post your private conversation in the group chat? I’ve been watching you since last time…

 

Does Ju Junseo have good memory or bad memory? The schemes I pull every time have now been refined into a well-established format, modified to suit each situation.

 

“Of course! Our team is family! Chu Gaeul and you should do it together!”

 

Actually, I wanted to receive them separately from Chu Gaeul and Ju Junseo, twice in total.

 

That way I’d look more impressive.

 

-…But why did you tell her first?

 

“Senior. I need to discuss the details with Chu Gaeul first so I don’t waste your time when you’re filming in Hong Kong. I’m really hurt… our shallow relationship… seems to be stained with distrust and harsh treatment…”

 

-There’s no need to be that hurt. Well, then I’m hanging up.

 

Ju Junseo softened up without me even sending groveling emoticons. As expected, acting pitiful works well.

 

I could almost see Manager Ju Junseo’s face floating in the air with that look that says he knows everything.

 

“Good. Coffee truck success.”

 

I looked at the coffee truck in front of me like that. Many things had happened, but somehow it was my first coffee truck in life. My face was plastered all over it.

 

As if to tell anyone who saw it that this was for Han Yeoreum.

 

“Unnie! Take lots and lots of pictures of me!”

 

“Yes yes-. I was going to do that without you asking.”

 

I took pictures with the coffee truck I had dreamed of. I thought I should smile moderately, but that wasn’t easy to do.

 

Right. This is Han Yeoreum’s filming set.

 

A place where my name can stay written large.

 

Finally, the first filming of began.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

This place is the Namyangju Comprehensive Film Studio in Gyeonggi Province.

 

Operated by the Korean Film Academy and Korean Film Archive, it was possible to properly film everything from traditional hanok sets to urban and everyday spaces.

 

With traditional stone-walled streets and gardens, market alleys, as well as hospitals, police stations, schools, apartments – there wasn’t a set they didn’t have, and being located on the outskirts of the city with mountains and rivers properly surrounding the studio, it was a place beloved by broadcasters.

 

‘They can even build custom sets. There’s no place better than here!’

 

was scheduled to be filmed at Namyangju Comprehensive Film Studio, except for a few scenes set aside for regional location shooting.

 

Watching Yeoreum enjoying herself tirelessly in front of the coffee truck, Jjang Director smiled contentedly.

 

“Alright! Ms. Yeoreum! Setup is almost done, so get ready!”

 

“Yes-! Got it!”

 

Yeoreum, who waved her hand widely with a face showing not the slightest bit of nervousness, soon transformed completely into Seoryeong.

 

In a worn cotton hanbok and tattered straw sandals, it was a shabby outfit, but Seoryeong’s eyes sparkled no less brilliantly than jewels.

 

The Seoryeong that Yeoreum had created looked like a young beast curious about the world.
