Episode 222

<Intern Academy’s Academy’s Academy> had particularly many of Jin Jinjoo’s unconfident soliloquies. If she wasn’t careful, they might not reach the back row.

“No, but how am I supposed to do this…”

She definitely wasn’t speaking loudly. It was a whispering voice that had lost confidence.

“Can you hear it?”

“…Yes!”

But it was clearly audible. Each pronunciation sparkled and rang clearly, as if someone had washed them clean and dried them under sunlight.

“No… I shouldn’t worry about the academy fees…”

Han Yeoreum’s whispering soliloquy continued.

“Can you hear it?”

“…Yes!”

The Director gave some instruction. Because there was some distance, it couldn’t be heard from the very back.

‘What is she saying?’

The Supporting Actor tensed up for a moment. And what followed was the next line.

“TOEIC… isn’t important, certification exams… aren’t important, right. What’s important is the internship. Internship. Got it? Ah, what was it again. I already forgot. Right, that thing, that thing…”

Han Yeoreum’s gradually diminishing voice could still be felt sufficiently. It sounded as if someone had rapidly pressed the volume button down.

‘…But why can I hear even this so clearly?’

But like having high-quality earphones plugged in, Han Yeoreum’s voice could be heard even when the volume decreased. It was impossible to fathom how she was delivering her lines.

“Handle it! Well! Precisely! Cleanly! With! Style! And! Sense!”

That’s when it happened. Conversely, like rapidly pressing the volume button up, her voice gradually grew louder. When the quiet voice suddenly became loud, it snapped everyone to attention.

In an instant, it felt like all attention was completely drawn to Han Yeoreum. Han Yeoreum under the lights was looking at her.

“Can you hear the beginning part?”

The Director asked once more,

“…Yes!”

She answered.

“It’s really audible! Not a single part was unclear!”

Capturing all of that scene, the <M Couple> team smiled.

‘The editing points are so obvious.’

This episode’s broadcast would surely double the clip view counts.

<M Couple> Episode 2 aired. This time too, what received the most attention from viewers was Han Yeoreum.

It was thanks to saving up variety show appearances after <Strange Tales>’ success. The public’s curious eyes couldn’t help but focus on Han Yeoreum.

Showing daily life through an observational variety show was an excellent choice. Her appearance of focusing on her main job without rest was enough to gain favor.

Not few people endlessly repeat the Two O’Clock Nap clip to listen to this lol that’s me

Anonymous1: Wow, can’t Yoon Hyeonjo do this kind of role just once lol

Anonymous2: I only knew Yoon Hyeonjo was a prosecutor talent, but damn he’s a senior talent

Anonymous4: Someone please make this into a webtoon please, I have a disease where I can’t see sweet stuff

ㄴAnonymous 13: We don’t call that a disease, we call it otaku

Anonymous 20: LMAOOOOOOOOO are you insane

The reaction was so good that comments said it should be added to both people’s filmographies. From the radio story itself, the focus gradually shifted to Han Yeoreum’s voice.

Anonymous 56: I really thought an actor is an actor when she told the story like it was script reading lol Han Yeoreum really has good diction

 Anonymous 59: For real, it’s like they’re swapping out voices ㅠㅠㅠ

 ㄴAnonymous 64: I hope Sim Juhwan comes on as a guest again when watching DJ..

The Han Yeoreum clip on Two O’Clock Nap’s InTube channel was steadily increasing in views. Even if not trending, people who discovered the video through the algorithm would unconsciously click on it.

It was because it was a video frequently encountered in communities led by Twitter.

-Recommend if you came after watching M Couple

 I came here because I was frustrated with the panel reactions being inserted throughout ㅋㅋㅋ Oh, this place does well

-Even just seeing it on Twitter made my heart flutter so much… I thought Uncle Yoon Hyunjo was the talented one but turns out it’s the senior who’s super talentedㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

That wasn’t all. The reason related posts kept being uploaded without rest was,

“I knew this would happen!”

[Wasn’t interested since my bias wasn’t appearing but suddenly got interested]

[Seems like something worth watching came out on variety shows after a long time, honestly I’m sick of mass-produced stuff now]

[Too obvious they added MSG, how much did the broadcasting station guys pay to promote on variety shows]

It was the Drama Gallery where IP 85.152 was located.

Manager Hong checked the current reactions while browsing communities.

“I don’t see any issues that would become major problems. There was some noise from the theater music side but…”

“That place is always a fighting ground anyway.”

Shin Rookie answered as if it wasn’t a big deal. His hands were busy handling Han Yeoreum-related work. Shin Rookie, who always talked about leaving work on time, didn’t complain much about consecutive overtime after <M Couple> aired.

“Still, block it as much as possible. If someone analyzes saying ‘Theater music boards don’t really like Han Yeoreum’ and spreads it around communities, it gets noisy.”

“Yes! And <M Couple> Han Yeoreum’s pajamas are sold out now. N Company training pants.”

“Tell them to make card news focusing on that, ah, is it already made? Then make a picture linking it with Pi Chaewon’s sneakers that caused a sellout when Han Yeoreum first modeled for N Company.”

“I’ll go with something like ‘N Company’s cheerful current situation’!”

Currently, JC ENM’s promotion team couldn’t rest after <M Couple> Episode 1 aired. They had to enter the countdown for promoting <Faster Than Law 2> to match <M Couple> Episode 3. The synopsis would be revealed when script reading began.

‘Script reading is a signal that the project has officially started.’

It announces to the public that they’re starting with these actors and this scenario. It subtly imprints on their minds. If they wait, the second series of <Faster Than Law> will come out. They had to secure potential audiences in advance like this.

‘Initial reputation is practically half-decided during script reading.’

The chemistry at the script reading scene was important. It spreads to the public even before teasers. That’s why they moved up the schedule for Han Yeoreum.

‘Movie promotion, actor branding, and securing fan bases for both the movie and Han Yeoreum simultaneously.’

Han Yeoreum’s daily life for three weeks would only show acting. The public likes anyone who does their main job well, but they like seeing someone who loves their main job even more.

‘Because basic skills support it!’

The production of <Faster Than Law 2> was a major interest in the industry. JC ENM, handling production, investment, and distribution, had to check both the movie and Han Yeoreum simultaneously.

“Match the script reading clip with <M Couple> broadcast timing. Is editing all done?”

“Not yet. But rough editing is finished.”

“Tell them to extend the actor interview sections on our side. It’ll be worth watching with Yoon Hyeonjo and Gwak Cheolsik who aren’t in <M Couple>.”

Now, once <M Couple> finished airing all three episodes, they had to start rowing in earnest.

Shin Rookie, who was conveying Manager Hong’s work instructions to the script reading editing side, opened his mouth as if suddenly remembering something.

“Manager.”

“What.”

“Geum Bitkang is incredible, right? The public basically all knows her skills, right? Right?”

“Right. You’re asking something obvious.”

Shin Rookie stared intently at Manager Hong.

“If analysis posts about theater music fans not really liking Han Yeoreum are already going to circulate, couldn’t we just block them with Geum Bitkang? The audience and the master are in different weight classes.”

Geum Bitkang. Hearing that name, Manager Hong felt like he’d been hit in the head.

“…Right. We had Geum Bitkang!”

Geum Bitkang had already been used extensively in <Strange Tales>. Not only that, hadn’t she appeared in a similar look on the Mint Carpet before the <Great Garland> audition?

The weight that the name Geum Bitkang carried was incomparable to anything else. Even spending hundreds of millions on promotion immediately couldn’t match one mention from Geum Bitkang.

However, what had been momentarily forgotten was the fact that they had once rejected the <Intern Academy’s Academy’s Academy> script on this side.

Geum Bitkang was a great card, but a rising actor’s time and manpower were incomparable to anything else.

‘A tsunami is coming, he said.’

However, the decision changed in just those 10 minutes of visiting and having a private meeting with Jegal Rok. Han Yeoreum decided to willingly appear in the play, and Geum Bitkang became a usable card again.

“This won’t do. Let’s start right away. With a light and cute feeling.”

“How?”

Manager Hong grinned. It hadn’t been long since <M Couple> Episode 2 aired. Interest in Han Yeoreum practicing for the play hadn’t died down. It would be a loss not to use the card called Geum Bitkang, the legend of the theater world.

“Geum Bitkang’s attachment doll.”

* * *

“Good grief. These days they come up with all sorts of nonsense.”

Geum Bitkang grumbled while looking at her cell phone. On the screen was an article she could roughly guess the content of. She had an intuition about who was behind it.
