Chapter 327

* * *

Aetami quickly uploaded the edited video to InTube.

[Han Yeoreum Ordinary Girlfriend Experience] 03:48

It was worth persistently wearing only pure white clothes every time at stage greetings to catch Yeoreum’s attention.

“She recognized me right away…”

Thanks to that, Yeoreum would look at the camera and acknowledge her whenever the seniors were holding the microphone.

The way she secretly glanced at the camera, made eye contact, and smiled was truly adorable no matter how many times you watched it.

“Just add some BGM and you’ve got a youth film right there.”

Yeoreum’s fan service was comparable to that of a professional idol who had done about 3,000 fan meetings.

It wasn’t just polite greetings or courteous acknowledgments like other actors.

“Increase those view counts…!”

Aetami edited only the footage of Yeoreum secretly looking this way. Since the InTube account ‘@EveryDayIsYeoreum’ was already Han Yeoreum’s fan account, the subscribers only left favorable comments.

-00:27 What’s with that finger heart? How is she so quick to notice

-1:11 Did she just ask me if she’s pretty?????? Hey you Han Yeoreum you’re fucking pretty crazy really pretty shit so pretty

-The way she turns around one more time at the end to make eye contact is insane.. This is weird I definitely feel like I’m dating Han Yeoreum right now but I don’t have her number;;;

︎˪Patient, you need to wake up from the coma now…

Aetami let out a light sigh while watching the quick responses.

“It would be nice to have multi-angle cam footage…”

Anyway, since there were existing subscribers, the video quickly surpassed 300 views. Aetami also checked the video while browsing Han Yohan and Yoon Hyeonjo’s fan accounts.

“It would be a bit much to upload only Yeoreum’s-.”

And shortly after, she uploaded a post to the community.

Headband? Sure, I’ll wear it all~

Even bows until her back might break

People who went said they couldn’t tell if this was a stage greeting or a stage fan meeting, it was so generous

-Isn’t that bullying Gwak Cheolsik? Someone please take off his headband…

˪Hahahahaha oh fuck hahahaha

˪ Hahahaha you’re crazy ㅠㅠ hahaha cute ㅠㅠ hahahaha

-The movie team atmosphere is so good ㅠ They all seem close to each other

-Good to see them taking responsibility and working hard to promote their work.. I can think of a few actors who half-ass stage greetings

˪Me too lol, they always half-ass it when movies come out and then whine later when the box office numbers are bad

Before long, 【Faster Than the Law 2】 had become a work that captured not only box office success and mass appeal, but also favorable public opinion.

When the director and actors are sincere about their work, the people watching naturally get drawn in as well.

Thanks to this, 【Faster Than the Law 2】 reached the break-even point of 3.7 million in just 5 days.

[Unprecedented popularity… 【Faster Than the Law 2】 achieves break-even, will it reach 10 million again?]

[Everyone wants to go see 【Faster Than the Law 2】… People flocking to theaters during the holidays]

“The schedule isn’t even over yet!”

Aetami shouted with joy. The promotion for 【Faster Than the Law 2】 wasn’t finished yet.

Not only were they doing real-time stage greetings and radio shows, but today was also the day everyone was waiting for – when 【Mageodong】 would air.

As soon as the notification appeared, Aetami clicked on the video.

* * *

This is Songshan District, Taipei. Mr. Linzhao knocked on his daughter’s door.

“Mei-Ling-. Dad has something to tell you-.”

There was no answer from inside. Mr. Linzhao carefully tried turning the door handle. Today too, his daughter was really studying hard…

“Mei-Ling?”

“Shh. Dad. You’re disturbing me.”

She wasn’t. Mei-Ling had Han Yeoreum displayed on both her laptop and tablet PC.

The tablet PC showed a fancam video of Han Yeoreum making eye contact during a stage greeting, while the laptop showed Han Yeoreum on a live talk show.

“Ah, this is driving me crazy. They don’t even provide real-time subtitles.”

Mr. Linzhao looked around his daughter’s room. His daughter’s room, which used to insist only on pink, was now filled with melon-like light green.

That wasn’t all. Along with postcards printed from captured scenes of her favorite dramas, there were posters of Han Yeoreum, currently Taiwan’s most popular Hallyu star.

‘Those postcards were also from 【Pachehi】…’

Mr. Linzhao’s daughter Mei-Ling was doing some truly life-devoted fangirling.

“Ah! Too fast!”

Mei-Ling had reached the point of self-studying Korean, which she used to hate even when told it was for actors, and listening to real-time videos.

She really used to be a daughter who wasn’t very interested in Hallyu.

‘Han Yeoreum is definitely popular.’

Mr. Linzhao had recognized Han Yeoreum’s star quality early on. He was also the one who exported 【Strange Tales】 to Taiwan.

He was an executive at Taiwan’s NTV broadcasting station, which specialized in airing K-Dramas.

Han Yeoreum had particularly high favorability among Taiwanese women in their teens and twenties. According to Mei-Ling, the girls in her class liked Han Yeoreum more than K-Pop idols.

‘A bit proud too…’

Watching his daughter Mei-Ling memorize the work he had chosen to the point of not being able to watch it anymore, and genuinely becoming interested in Hallyu, Mr. Linzhao felt proud.

“Um, Mei-Ling.”

“You scared me. Dad, are you still not gone? Whatever it is, let’s talk about it later.”

Mei-Ling, wearing headphones and concentrating on Han Yeoreum’s every word, snapped at Mr. Linzhao.

Mr. Linzhao felt intimidated by his daughter who spoke without even looking back at him.

With tears in his eyes, Mr. Linzhao left Mei-Ling’s room. Meanwhile, the tablet PC kept playing the Han Yeoreum ordinary girlfriend video on repeat.

“Honey, how was her reaction? That’s strange. I definitely thought she would scream and make a fuss. It’s quiet?”

Mr. Linzhao’s wife approached and asked. Mr. Linzhao sighed, saying he couldn’t say a word to Mei-Ling.

“That Mei-Ling too. Missing such happy news.”

Mr. Linzhao had just received tremendous news – 【The Great Garland】, the work coming to Taiwan this summer, had been nominated for an overseas awards ceremony.

And it was a very famous, prestigious awards ceremony that was a first for Korean works.

Screech-!

Manager Choi suddenly stopped the car. Yeoreum’s body bounced up from her seat.

“Wow, that scared me. Sister, are you okay?”

“Yeoreum. Didn’t you just hear that?”

“I was sleeping… Why?”

Yeoreum had to work non-stop due to the flood of promotional schedules.

She naturally didn’t hear the phone call from the company to Choi Seonhye just now and had fallen into a deep sleep.

“You just got contacted from the United States!”

“What!!!”

Manager Ma on the other end of the phone, listening to their conversation, also couldn’t hide the excitement in her voice.

-Turn the car around right now and come to the company! Ah. This is going to be so fun… We’re putting out articles on our end too. Yeah. We need to reschedule everything right away and there’s a lot to prepare?

United States. Awards ceremony. Those two words kept tickling Yeoreum’s ears.

-Kkamjjikkyi.

Manager Ma spoke to Han Yeoreum, who couldn’t give any response because she was trembling.

-Get ready to be really busy from now on.

[【The Great Garland】, nominated for Critics’ Choice Awards… First Korean drama ever]

Critics’ Choice Awards.

A prestigious awards ceremony judged by film and TV critics from the United States and Canada, with the TV category added starting in 2011.

Held right before the Oscars, it’s often called the Oscar barometer since it frequently overlaps with actual Oscar winners.

When 【The Great Garland】, the first Korean drama ever, was nominated for this awards ceremony, the media went into a frenzy.

-Holy shit what???

-This is fucking amazing…

-What is that?ㅠ Am I the only one who doesn’t know..

When news broke that 【The Great Garland】 was nominated for Best Foreign Language Series, the spotlight focused on Han Yeoreum from 【Faster than the Law 2】.

[Fearsome comet rookie, now advancing to America? 【The Great Garland】 Han Yeoreum also active in 【Faster than the Law 2】]

[Han Yeoreum greets with a smile that could charm even America “Please enjoy watching the movie”]

At that moment, Han Yeoreum wasn’t the only one who was shocked.

“No way, this is crazy…”

Eun Baekhap, who was taking a half-bath, also received a phone call. As soon as Eun Baekhap hung up, she went to the entertainment news section of a portal site.

Articles about 【The Great Garland】’s nomination were being uploaded one after another.

[【The Great Garland】 truly a great nomination as its name suggests… Rising expectations for moving all of America]

[What exactly is Critics’ Choice… This awards ceremony called “Little Oscar” (Comprehensive)]

[【The Great Garland】, can it become the first Korean winner of Critics’ Choice?]

The media was literally boiling with excitement. It was an achievement worth applauding that the Korean drama industry, which had been shaken after the Korean Wave restrictions, had overcome the crisis. Everyone was overwhelmed with emotion.

“Yaaaaaaah-!”

KBC Drama Center was in complete festival mode. As soon as the Center Director heard this news, he climbed onto his desk and made a vocal announcement.

“Everyone! We… We…”

Incidentally, what the Center Director said at this time became a long-lasting meme within KBC Drama Center, but even if time were turned back, the Center Director thought he would have done the same thing.

“We did it-!!!”

There was no other way to express it.
