In a world overrun with fake noses, a true drama that wraps authentic noses in military uniforms is the spirit of the times that KBC wants to show. This is the value of our license fees

“Hah… This is it…”

Recalling the atmosphere when everyone united and burned with passion during 【Strange Tales】 made my heart race.

The GIF of Yeoreum that Aetami had already uploaded was still getting hearts non-stop even now.

 ˪What is this

 ˪What the hell is this

 ˪What is… what the fuck is this

A famous scene that instantly captivated viewers.

Aetami was confident that anyone who saw the preview would be captivated in just one second and wait for 【The Great Garland】’s broadcast date.

“Now let’s see who else- has fallen for- our Yeoreum-.”

Aetami hummed while searching for Yeoreum’s name.

“…Huh? Other articles came up too?”

Besides the 【The Great Garland】 preview, new news had emerged.

* * *

【Intern Academy’s Academy’s Academy】 finished its three-month run and even succeeded in a six-week extension. No one objected to the fact that Han Yeoreum was the main contributor to this unprecedented success.

“Alright! Everyone worked hard!”

At a pork belly restaurant located in Daehangno, the actors from 【Intern Academy】 held a modest farewell party.

Thanks to the audience’s support, 【Intern Academy】 extended the play once again, but Jin Jinjoo was no longer Han Yeoreum.

Because Han Yeoreum only had better things ahead of her.

“Our protagonist! Jin Jinjoo, say something before you go! Come on!”

“Yes! Hello everyone! Your Jin Jin-joo-! I’m Han Yeoreum!”

As soon as Han Yeoreum stood up, cheers erupted from around her. The actors who had worked together on stage every time could no longer hate Han Yeoreum.

There are things you can feel without words. Everyone now knew that Han Yeoreum loved acting more than anyone else.

“Thanks to you all, I learned a lot! Because the senior officers guided me well, I was able to work harder while playing Jin Jinjoo!”

“Hey, so modest-!”

“Give her applause!”

Even though she was an actress recognized by Geum Bitkang herself, Han Yeoreum gave credit to her seniors. The farewell party wouldn’t end easily because parting was regrettable.

Even as empty bottles accumulated one by one on the table, no one left their seat.

Tak Jeongyun quietly stood up from her chair. Unlike the noisy interior, the world was quiet when she came outside. She took out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it.

“Senior Officer.”

Through the hazy cigarette smoke, Han Yeoreum appeared. Tak Jeongyun raised her hand to disperse the smoke. Come to think of it, the weather was quite chilly once the sun set.

It meant summer was passing.

“Leaving now?”

“Yes. What about you, Senior Officer?”

“Me too, well. I should stay a little longer before leaving.”

Various emotions crossed her mind.

She was grateful that a rising actress had bothered to come to a small theater, and on the other hand, she was envious of a talent that seemed impossible to catch up to.

There was also fondness for how she never showed any signs of difficulty while forcing a schedule that involved going overseas several times for luxury brand events.

But what came out of Tak Jeongyun’s mouth was just a short phrase.

“…Good work. All this time.”

Now she might not be able to see Han Yeoreum anymore. As soon as she heard the news that Netflicks Korea was coming in, the first person who came to mind was Han Yeoreum.

Sure enough. At the news that she was cast in the first work they were producing, and not just anyone’s work but Seomun Ihwa’s work, she realized anew.

Han Yeoreum is from a different world.

“I’ll enjoy watching your next project too. Later, if you have time, come visit Daehangno again… Of course, I know you’re busy. Yeah. If I get cast in any roles, I’ll send tickets to your agency.”

How far would she climb? She couldn’t imagine.

It was when she thought that having acted with Han Yeoreum at a small theater in Daehangno might become the most shining moment in Tak Jeongyun’s acting career.

“Senior Officer, come up to where I am.”

Han Yeoreum’s quiet voice pierced through Tak Jeongyun.

“Hey, what am I…”

How could an unknown actress trapped in Daehangno for years stand shoulder to shoulder with Han Yeoreum, who had been writing new records every time since her debut?

Tak Jeongyun was so flustered that words wouldn’t come out properly.

But Han Yeoreum’s gaze looking at her was straight.

“Let’s definitely work together on the next project too.”

It was the unique look of someone who had faith in their own words. There wasn’t a moment’s hesitation.

“…Me? With you?”

It was nonsense. But Tak Jeongyun’s heart began to heat up.

“I’ll go first.”

Han Yeoreum left that greeting and turned her back without lingering. Those words about going first sounded different to Tak Jeongyun.

It seemed like she was telling her to follow that path where Han Yeoreum was.

The confidence that had been gradually wearing away at some point. The acting she had been doing half out of stubbornness, half out of habit.

A fire that would someday go out when all the accumulated will burned away. That ember that had been hot, then warm, then lukewarm, blazed up again.

Like Han Yeoreum’s midday sun, Tak Jeongyun’s body heated up.

I want to act.

She was filled with only that one thought. Like when she first dreamed of being an actress.

* * *

‘Thinking about it again, that was so fucking cool…’

I’m crossing off another item from my fantasy bucket list that I do before sleeping.

‘Who am I?’

A rising actress who was cast in Netflicks Korea’s hit work, appeared in episode 1 of none other than Crazy Ihwa’s work, was nominated for the Young Theater Artist Award simultaneously with her theater debut, gained recognition even in Daehangno, and now knows how to extend her hand first to other actors and offer advice. Han Yeoreum.

“Ah! Really so cool!”

I stomped my feet on the sofa. If this were a drama, it would be a famous scene from a clip that hits a million views, really.

“Yeoreum!”

With a light knock, the door opened. This was the Music N Studio. Seo Eden, who had finished makeup, naturally entered my waiting room.

“Did you master all the choreography?”

“Of course.”

“Ah, it’s really regrettable. Right?”

Now I had to say goodbye to being an MC on Music N too. Since it was a live broadcast once a week, I couldn’t continue while filming three dramas.

“That’s right…”

My first overseas schedule, the fans I could meet up close, the cue cards I had to memorize every week, the waiting room door with my name on it.

Now that I have to say goodbye to all of this, I feel somewhat disappointed.

“Hey! Don’t make that face. Still, let’s do well until the end! Let’s totally nail the special stage and end with a bang. They say if the ending is good, everything’s good, right?”

For once, Seo Eden was saying something right. I smiled and nodded.

“Okay. Show me the choreography one more time. This hand movement is surprisingly difficult.”

The last view as an MC on Music N was perfect.

The special stage went without a single mistake, the audience reaction was good, and I could see my familiar fans too.

‘Two people this time…’

When I waved toward the audience seats at the fan who opened a birthday cafe for me and the fan I met at the crosswalk, cheers poured out as if a microphone had been turned on.

“Good work!”

As I came down from the stage, a cake with lit candles greeted us.

[Goodbye

MC’s name!]

Looking at the cutely written lettering, Seo Eden and I blew out the candles. We took photos for SNS upload and finished filming the Music N original content video.

“You really worked hard all this time, Yeoreum.”

“You worked hard too, Writer. Thank you.”

“Our staff are so sad to part with Yeoreum. Where else can we find an MC who memorizes cue cards so perfectly every time?”

“That’s right! Ah, I don’t want to let you go!”

I shook hands with each of the staff members I’d grown close to, one by one.

“But you know what? I have a feeling about this.”

“What kind of feeling? That I’ll win grand prizes later?”

“No, not that kind of thing.”

The Music N PD grinned widely.

“I feel like I’ll see you MCing at acting awards or arts awards later. That’s the feeling I get. Someone as diligent as Yeoreum will definitely succeed.”

“Woo-! She’s already doing great now-!”

“Hey you guys. She’s going to do even better!”

The PD shook our clasped hands with encouraging force. It felt like the time we’d spent together was embedded in our joined hands.

After returning the microphone, Seo Eden smiled brightly.

“Ah! It’s really over!”

“Thank you for everything, Senior.”

Thanks to Seo Eden, the Intube original content videos got really good view counts. During challenge filming, he secretly gave me a lot of cute parts too.

‘Thanks to the aegyo a current idol taught me, I got a lot of good photos.’

Probably thanks to that, my Yoosta followers increased steadily too.

Seo Eden cheerfully accepted my greeting and made a V sign with his hand.

“Yes! Now it’s my turn to ask for your favor. Revenge!”

“Isn’t it reverse?”

“Is it? Anyway. Please take care of me from now on too.”

“…What?”

What’s this? He says he’s asking for a favor but why is he suddenly acting cute?

“I’m also appearing in 【Youth Disqualified!】. Han Yeoreum senior.”

* * *

A few days later, an article about 【Youth Disqualified!】’s casting board was released.

[Youth drama powerhouse MBS, drama 【Youth Disqualified!】 composed of fresh newcomers in final countdown]

On the 2nd, MBS officially announced the casting for new miniseries 【Youth Disqualified!】, stating it would be “a work that depicts the inner lives of people in their twenties with a fresh and youthful sensibility.”

MBS said, “By featuring newcomer actors who possess both star quality and acting ability, we will approach home viewers in a friendly manner.”

The three leads are Han Yeoreum (Na Yuna role), who proved her acting ability with her representative work 【Strange Tales】, Chu Gaeul (Ko Yunkyo role), who made a fresh mark with 【Dohwasuhn】, and So Dami (Jeong Heejeong role), who appeared charmingly in the web drama 【Heart-Pounding♥︎ Love Romance Simulation】.

Additionally, idol Seo Eden will take on the role of Jeong Yoon as a supporting character, greatly heightening fans’ expectations.

Meanwhile, Han Yeoreum is also preparing to meet viewers through KBC’s major production 【The Great Garland】. 【The Great Garland】 airs its first episode tonight.

“My filial daughter always gave me something…”

Aetami looked at the clock. Finally, in 10 minutes. The first broadcast of 【The Great Garland】 was approaching.
