Chapter 317
The 【After School Quiz Show】, which had maintained its position as a popular program even after Han Yeoreum’s appearance, changed its format.
[HOT/ The real current state of Quiz Show where they answer however they want lololol.jpg]
(Drama and movie famous line quiz time.jpg)
At this point, the production team isn’t even giving questions to be answered correctly, they’re just setting up a stage for cute antics
(Everyone acting cute to get one more hint.jpg)
Real bias lolololol
(Even actors who appeared in the works getting it wrong and acting cute.jpg)
You guys have to know this ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Anyway, it got more fun after the PD changed
Anonymous 1: Watching it while desperately trying to get answers right with friends, it’s fucking thrilling
Anonymous 2: Sometimes when they really spoon-feed you the answers it’s fucking hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The way they try so hard to get it right is pathetic ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Anonymous 11: Seo Eden lying down trying to get “Let’s eat” right was truly legendary lololol
Anonymous 27: I still watch that on repeat, sometimes I practice acting cute when I’m bored
Anonymous 32: Why do you practice acting cute, you crazy bastard lolol
Anonymous 56: Ugh.. acting cute without taking it off is such a huge turn-on, I wish my actor would go out like that too ㅠㅠ
Now the quiz topics had changed from general knowledge to dramas and movies.
Since viewers could also enjoy guessing along, ratings rose slightly. InTube clip views jumped nearly 1.5 times.
Among them, the ‘hint time’ was especially 【After School Quiz Show】’s unique selling point, and they made even the shyest celebrities do it at least once.
-No! We really have to get this right!
-Seems like a joke…? Won’t let us go… This place has no end…
-Let’s do it quickly and get out of here. We don’t expect any sincere aegyo or anything like that, you know!
If it was a question difficult enough that they couldn’t answer even with hints, it wasn’t time to worry about being shy or anything.
They threw out quizzes that could only be answered after giving continuous hints and practically spoon-feeding everything, and they didn’t just use ordinary famous scenes as questions.
-No, I didn’t even know this scene existed lol
-Where did they dig this one up from again
-Whoa this is from when Kang Chanseok was a rookie lolol so freaking fresh and innocent ㅠ
Making questions out of scenes that just flashed by wasn’t meant to be answered correctly.
It was asking for a camera one-shot time.

-Isn’t he really like a puppy lololol
-Acting cute = giving hints, seems like that’s the only thing programmed in lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ damn it, follow the order ㅠㅠ
-First time seeing someone wink this fast.. At this point he’s just an aegyo machine raised by noonas, damn lololol
There were especially many scenes that could spread as memes briefly but intensely through SNS and communities.
The 【After School Quiz Show】 production team checked the celebrities appearing this time.
“Oh, Han Yeoreum is coming.”
“She was good when she came on. She established her character well on her own.”
A holiday release that everyone was anticipating to see if it could hit ten million in a short period again. It was the day when Yoon Hyeonjo and Gwak Cheolsik, the leads of 【Faster Than Law 2】, Han Yohan cast as the villain, and Han Yeoreum who was currently rising the most in stock value, would participate in recording.
“How should we set the difficulty?”
The junior writer asked the main writer. The main writer, who knew about Han Yeoreum’s performance last time, smiled.
“Let’s go hot.”
“Is that really okay…?”
The junior writer looked somewhat troubled. That was understandable, since among this episode’s cast, Han Yohan was an actor famous for being no-fun.
He had a religion that didn’t match his name, earning the named status of a Buddhist believer, and was a man who seemed like he would give enlightenment to others even when speaking once.
“Han Yohan is fucking reverent anyway, so if we put him next to Gwak Cheolsik, it’ll be neutralized. It’s fine.”
“But honestly, Yoon Hyeonjo isn’t fun either. What should we do?”
“If we make him imitate a baby kitten during hint time, it’ll get funny. It’s fine.”
The main writer, nodding his head, had considerable interest in Han Yeoreum.
As a broadcast writer, one had to know how to sensitively catch what was happening in the world, especially public reactions and trends.
The 【After School Quiz Show】 main writer, who had watched 【M Couple】 where Han Yeoreum appeared, the vlogs uploaded to JC ENM channel, 【Mageodong】, and even the recent 【Youth Disqualified!】 script reading, had faith.
“Let’s go fucking hard.”
He thought Han Yeoreum could salvage anything no matter how it was thrown at her.
* * *
His name was Han Yohan. Even backwards, it was Han Yohan.
From preschool age, it was perfect conditions for being teased about his name, but he was a man who had never once gotten angry, embarrassed, or gone home crying to his mom to change his name.
“Hey! Han Yohan! I heard you go to a temple?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Don’t your parents say anything? Your name is fucking holy shit from the start?”
“If I have a connection with the church, I’ll reach it someday… Becoming a Buddhist now is probably just a shallow stream in life’s river. Living as a Buddhist now feels comfortable for my heart.”
“Uh… okay…”
That’s right. He was born no-fun.
Because of this, his company had come to desperately try to contain Han Yohan.
“Yohan. Don’t talk much. Okay?”
“But… how can I ignore the sincerity of those who ask me questions…”
“Hey, you bastard! You have to think about the sincerity of editing too! You…! You…!”
The agency CEO shed tears.
“You’re fucking boring!”
Pushing through with looks only lasted a day or two. Han Yohan was the weakest in show programs, though interviews might be different.
Han Yohan, who lived always following Buddha’s teachings by not causing trouble, doing good deeds, and constantly polishing his character, smiled benevolently.
The light of nirvana flickered in his neat monolid eyes.
“How could I always make conversations just for fun? Even if it’s variety, there’s no viewer who doesn’t look for lessons, emotions, and heartwarming moments within it, and if I approach it carelessly, the production team and staff who prepared hard would…”
“Hey, fuck. Get this guy out. I knew this would happen. Can’t fucking communicate with him.”
The fed-up CEO grabbed his head with both hands. Han Yohan, who was obediently dragged out by his manager, entered the filming set and looked at Han Yeoreum, who was having a conversation with Gwak Cheolsik.
“Filly. I’m really counting on you today.”
“Of course. I’ll definitely help you cheat.”
“No, cheating isn’t the problem… I’ll somehow manage Hyeonjo, but Yohan. There’s nothing I can do about Yohan.”
He had met Han Yeoreum several times on filming sets. They had even had conversations.
“Senior! Isn’t it hard?”
“What would be hard for me?”
“Come on. You did the action scenes really well earlier. I could hear wind sounds from your punches.”
“Thank you for seeing it positively. But the wind sounds would be auditory hallucinations, so if you keep hearing them, make sure to go to the hospital.”
“Ah…haha… Did you see what I did too? Me running! I did really well, right! Or not? From your perspective, were there some lacking points?”
“No… I didn’t see it, but I’ll definitely watch next time. When will you run again?”
“…It’s over… That scene earlier was the last…”
“Ah…”
He had tried hard to respond enthusiastically to the conversation, but it didn’t flow well.
‘Did I speak too briefly?’
Han Yohan, thinking of his junior who must have felt awkward because of him, decided to approach today’s recording even more sincerely.
Letting his colleagues’ discussion about how to handle that no-fun Han Yohan go in one ear and out the other, he temporarily closed the tablet PC he had been looking at.

‘Right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.’
Han Yohan decided to stand in front of the camera with such a mindset.
And a little later,
“Uhahahaha! Ah, this is crazy. Today is really crazy.”
“No, why is this so funny?”
For the first time in his life, Han Yohan heard that he was funny.
* * *
To cut to the conclusion….
‘I absolutely have to secure the seat next to Han Yohan.’
I felt it while talking with Han Yohan. This character works. That’s why I chose 【After School Quiz Show】 first to promote 【Faster Than Law 2】.
‘If it’s that person, he’ll be the perfect MSG for my foolish regret girl character…!’
The combination of a calm senior who’s reached enlightenment and a baby melon bread who regrets everything? Even I think it’s cute.
‘Thank goodness. Yoon Hyeonjo and Gwak Cheolsik alone would be a bit lacking.’
Yoon Hyeonjo is smart and has excellent analysis skills. So he’s likely to answer correctly the fastest, or pull out enough screen time and then bail right before hint time.
And Gwak Cheolsik has plenty to extract from variety shows just by existing. He’s the character who’ll get the most attention during hint time.
‘Perfect for scenes like making him do bunny ears but his muscles prevent his hands from reaching above his head.’
Then Han Yeoreum’s foolish regret girl would be overshadowed by Gwak Cheolsik’s muscle bunny.
‘No way. It’s been so long since I appeared on a variety show…!’
So I decided to carry Han Yohan. From the moment we first talked, Han Yeoreum’s materialistic calculator gave me the answer.
You can’t find this kind of character anywhere else.
I opened my eyes properly on the set where self-introductions were in full swing. After Yoon Hyeonjo, then Gwak Cheolsik, Han Yohan’s turn came next.
“You really transformed your image this time, playing a villain role! Ah, your name is so holy – Yohan Yohan Han Yohan- sir-. Do you usually watch 【After School Quiz Show】?”
“I think it’s a good program. Many people around me enjoy watching it. I also enjoyed last week’s episode.”
“Will you watch it regularly from now on? Promise-. Thank you!”
When Han Yohan’s calm voice mixed with variety show-style voice projection, it was still salvageable.
Han Yohan’s strength is that he doesn’t speak briefly and doesn’t leave anything out.
‘Good. Here I go.’
Soon it was my turn, the last one.
“The youngest of our Law-Fast team! And true to being Influencer 1- the quiz genius who was incredibly active last time! Han Yeoreum is here too.”
“Oh my, what genius am I really….”
“Honestly, if we had to pick the culprit who raised today’s difficulty level, it would only be Yeoreum!”
“…Is today’s… difficulty high…?”
When she took the bait I threw, the MC pretended to hastily cover up.
“Did I say that? Huh?”
“No, you definitely just said that!”
“Gwak Cheolsik, please stand up for a moment. No, we need you to.”
Variety show experts swarmed around like bees.
‘Nice. Good start.’
Now that the groundwork was laid about the considerable difficulty, Yoon Hyeonjo’s elite aspects would stand out more, and even Gwak Cheolsik’s aegyo would be funnier.
“Now! The first quiz begins!”
【After School Quiz Show】 with its highest difficulty level started.
* * *
Yoon Hyeonjo had already gotten the answer right. Since only problems worthy of the highest difficulty came out and everyone was struggling, his performance shone even brighter.
After pretending to get it wrong a couple of times, Yoon Hyeonjo efficiently secured his broadcast time and then bailed.
“As expected of an elite!”
“How do you get it right just by looking at that?”
The famous scene quiz came out in three formats.
One of the three was randomly assigned, and if no correct answer came out, there was a system to request hints.
The first was lip reading. They showed the scene but with the sound muted.
The second was initial consonants. They only showed the dialogue in initial consonants.
The third was description. They only verbally described what scene, who, and to whom the dialogue was spoken.
Naturally, when they gave the third type of problem, the most hint requests poured in.
“Hint! Please tell us the drama title at least once!”
Because even if they told you the characters’ names or roles, it was too difficult to guess correctly.
Unless it was a memorable unusual name, it wasn’t easy to think of it right away.
Or they only mentioned specific occupations like ‘office worker’ or ‘singer’, but you could never get it right in one try.
“What emotion! What emotion was it?”
Even when giving hints, they only revealed the background, so the panelists who couldn’t know what situation those two were in fell into a maze and floundered.
“Now, hints end here! No more!”
Han Yeoreum knew broadcasting well. When Gwak Cheolsik did bunny aegyo but couldn’t get the answer, she subtly whispered to him to let him become the correct answerer first, then tried to help Han Yohan too.
“Since I must reach my share of answers by myself… it’s okay.”
But the enlightened man, the icon of no-fun Han Yohan, smiled gently and shook his head.
I could feel the staff beyond the camera smiling brightly.
‘Perfect broadcast material!’
The calculation was visible.
* * *
A few days later, the office worker chose a program worth watching on her way home from work today.
“Something worth watching these days-….”
She was the type who didn’t discriminate between dramas and variety shows and consumed everything as long as it was reasonably entertaining.
Recently, after 【The Great Garland】 ended, there wasn’t anything particularly captivating, so she would just watch InTube to pass time.
“Nothing special today either.”
Just as she was about to go to InTube.
She saw Han Yeoreum in the show program cast.
“Huh? Han Yeoreum?”
The office worker, who had followed all of Han Yeoreum’s filmography, clicked on that broadcast without hesitation.
She felt confident that this time too, it would definitely be entertaining and not a waste of time.
【After School★Quiz-Show】
With cheerful background music, the MC gave an energetic greeting. Han Yeoreum’s face was visible among the regular panelists sitting on both sides.
‘She’s dressed so cutely!’
As she felt during 【Strange Tales】 last time, the coordinator definitely did a good job.
Today the 【Faster Than Law 2】 team had a red hat concept.
Yoon Hyeonjo was the hunter, Gwak Cheolsik was Little Red Riding Hood, and Han Yohan came out in pink pajamas with a hair cap, apparently playing Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother.
‘Come on, he’s not even an idol… wouldn’t actors usually refuse to wear such clothes?’
Truly the enlightened man. Han Yohan had an expression that said costumes had absolutely no influence on his state of mind.
And Han Yeoreum was the wolf. She was even cuter because it really didn’t suit her.
-Now now! Then the first qui-z-!
When the MC spun the roulette, the initial consonants part came up. The office worker also looked seriously at the problem to answer along.
[Oh okay okay okay for real no way]
-Oh possible go let’s go oh real now…?
The quiz show started with a panelist famous for blurting out anything just saying random words.
The office worker seriously pondered what among those could be correct.
-Yeah possible road let’s go uh real me…!
Wrong answers continued in a row. The office worker diligently chose answers.
‘Possible definitely seems right. And at the end, it should be me….’
When only wrong answers came out, hint time began. When one panelist who most desperately wanted hints danced, exactly one correct word came out.
-Now, correct!
And another round, this time no answer again.
Only after Yoon Hyeonjo sang did a scene hint come out.
‘Oh my…!’
And the office worker was shocked. As the MC said earlier, it really was a spicy difficulty level.
-Foreign, no, they’re bringing foreign movies?
-Excuse me!
-This isn’t right. Really!
The panelists went crazy. The quiz show that had mainly focused on domestic dramas and movies reached an insane difficulty level.
-Everyone. If you think carefully, you can get it right~.
Only after the panelists despaired, panicked, got angry, and begged desperately did the first correct answer come out.
[I’m gonna go get you right now.]
-The answer was “Am ga-na go get-ju-u right na-u”!
The panelists exploded.
But the real-time <After School Quiz Show> Fire Board exploded in a different sense.
[Today’s idiots are rolling again ♨Let’s watch After School Quiz Show together♨]
-Are these guys crazy? Get the hell out of here with this bullshit lololololol
-Wow, I never could have imagined this hahahaha
-Damn, all sorts of things happening lol I never imagined this
-If this keeps up, we’re really not getting off work today, are we?ㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yoon Hyunjo’s gonna pass out at this rate
As if proving that when something is too absurd, you can only laugh, the panelists were lying down laughing.
-How about it, Yeoreum? Do you like today’s difficulty level?
-…There’s no way I would….
Han Yeoreum, wearing a wolf ear headband, was half-unconscious. Gwak Cheolsik, who was wearing a red hat, swept the hood of his cloak back with one hand.
-Next.
The next problem was equally difficult to solve.
