Episode 51
Youstagram
The times when I took the subway and passed through the Han River section were my humble travels. Unable to escape from daily life, we find momentary refuge only in those brief moments when we lift our heads. You and I, who have no interest in each other, are city people.

Dokgo Min was already somewhat of a celebrity among hipsters on SNS. This was after Han Yeoreum’s photo had spread widely, being called ‘that’ ID photo or ‘that’ Profile Photo.
This latest work also spread through communities.
Ding- Ding- Ding-.
Both of their SNS followers began increasing in real time!
* * *
“Dokgo Min really is different…”
I was genuinely amazed. Even though it was the same scene, when it went through Dokgo Min’s hands, it became a completely different scene.
You know how it is, right? Those photos where suddenly the world flows in slow motion, giving you the feeling of a moment being preserved.
“How is this… amateur work from someone who hasn’t even debuted professionally…”
It had several times more Immersion than the photos of Do Gyeoul that Dokgo Min had worked on before my regression.
At this rate, it might get more likes than my Profile Photo, which was Dokgo Min’s first work that got quite a reaction on SNS.
“There hasn’t been any significant influx since 〈Pahcehi〉.”
Followers had rapidly increased for about a week starting from the final episode of 〈Pahcehi〉, but after that, it showed a gentle curve.
But as soon as I uploaded the photo Dokgo Min took, my follower count shot up vertically again.
-Wow, Daeyejong is insane ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They’re not even seniors but their skills are absolutely amazing ㅠㅠㅠ
-Is that really Pi Chaewon? At first I didn’t think it was the same person lol she really gives off such a different vibe
︎˪For real, like a different person
-The black hair was fine too but the red hair is so fucking perfect, it just stands out so damn much ㅜ I saved it like I was mesmerized
Not to mention mine and Dokgo Min’s SNS, the comments on major community reactions were all positive. It really was an era where you could make an impression with one well-taken photo.
“Now 100K…!”
Ding-!
It was when I unconsciously jumped up at the number 100K.
“An Invitation?”
An invitation to where? There are no award ceremonies right now… and I don’t have any works worthy of attending award ceremonies.
I pressed the check now button. A small Letter Envelope Icon appeared.
Ding- Ding-.
At the same time, my Cell Phone screen lit up and vibrated. The caller was Ju Junseo.
“Hello~.”
-…What are you doing.
“I’m just here. Why did you call?”
-Can’t I call if there’s no business?
No. It’s not that, but honestly we’re not close enough to chat without any particular reason… I was about to say that but stopped. I remembered the recent exchanges of greetings.
“You’re doing well, right senior? It’s nice to see you doing well… Maybe it’s because you’ve been taking Acting Lessons lately. Your Diction is also very clear.”
Junseo also has aspects similar to Chu Gaeul. His reaction softened when I complimented him.
-Come pick out outfits with me.
“…? Outfits?”
Why is Junseo, who’s a former model, asking me to go pick out clothes with him? It would be much better for him to choose alone, right?
When I asked with genuine puzzlement, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.
-Have you already selected your outfit?
“No, I mean… I don’t really understand what you’re talking about.”
I looked at my Status Window again with confusion.
‘Come to think of it, why isn’t that Letter Envelope Icon disappearing?’
I tilted my head for a moment.
-Ruel Style Awards. You and I were both invited, didn’t you get contacted?
That’s when it happened. The letter envelope sparkled and proper text appeared.
Ding-!
Ah.
“…Outfits. Please definitely let me pick them out with you. As expected, Junseo. The best senior. How do you always look after your junior who doesn’t even have an Entertainment Agency and contact me like this…”
-…Yeah. Keep talking.
“I’m really so moved I can’t even speak…”
The terrestrial broadcasting mission isn’t even finished yet and you’re giving me another mission before that?
After hanging up the phone, I lay on the bed and fell into thought.
‘Best Dresser, huh.’
I thought I’d have to wait a long time before I could step on a red carpet.
I smiled at the opportunity that came much earlier than expected.
“Let’s go…! To pick out outfits!”
* * *
This place is Apgujeong Rodeo. The place where agencies are lined up in a row across from Galaxia Department Store.
Outfits hung neatly under luxurious Lighting sparkled.
‘Actually, there’s no reason for Junseo to come here.’
Because he has name value. Just the clothes that various brands send to Junseo asking him to wear them would fill a truck.
‘So, going around agencies right now is all because of my outfit fitting…’
On the other hand, no outfits were coming in for Han Yeoreum. It means every outfit I choose might get rejected. Because everything in this industry is judged by name value and status.
‘Moreover, this place is easy for someone like Junseo, but it’s famous for being difficult to get sponsorships from unless you’re someone special…’
The money smell vibrates from the entrance. The marble sparkling in gold was dazzling. I swallowed for a moment.
“What are you doing? Come in.”
Junseo seemed familiar with places like this.
The huge space looked like a shopping center had been moved here as is. It was a showroom that used an entire building.
“Hello…”
As I quietly followed behind Junseo, a staff member who was checking clothes with a chart looked up.
“Oh! Junseo came?”
It was a lively voice that showed no trace of fatigue whatsoever. I recognized who it was the moment I saw that person.
‘Why is that person here?’
There’s a word that always gets attached in front of famous people. That word is ‘star.’
Star chef, star writer, star PD… Among them, the one most familiar to the public is the star stylist beside celebrities.
‘…Triple S Ryu Lisa!’
Among them, Ryu Lisa, whom all successful actresses and models supposedly wanted to work with at least once, was a celebrity in her own right.
‘She’s also the person who benefited the most after the Intube era opened up later on.’
She created her own channel and gathered up to a million subscribers.
Triple S Ryu Lisa. I knew her well since I was a subscriber too.
‘And whenever Do Gyeoul was called a best dresser, Ryu Lisa was always with her.’
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the public recognized her as practically Do Gyeoul’s exclusive stylist.
Movies, dramas, variety shows, and even award ceremonies.
All of Do Gyeoul’s styling that became hot topics had gone through Ryu Lisa’s hands.
‘…I want to steal her.’
A big shot like this doesn’t become anyone’s exclusive stylist. Unless she manages multiple people at once.
But even so, I wanted to steal her. From Do Gyeoul.
‘Even if multiple actors work with the same stylist, only one person remains in the public’s mind.’
I wished that person would be Han Yeoreum instead of Do Gyeoul. The desire slowly rose up that I wanted to be the actor who created the star stylist.
[Baekryong Film Festival, Who’s This Year’s Best Dresser? 〈Do Gyeoul’s Elegant Dress〉 Catches Attention…]
The actor chosen as best dresser at the 37th Baekryong Film Festival is naturally Do Gyeoul.
Using a ‘Bridal White’ product, Do Gyeoul’s stylist Type A CEO Ryu Lisa revealed it was “a dress anyone would want to wear.”
With reservations already pouring in like a flood, netizens showed reactions like “As expected of Do Gyeoul” and “I watch the Baekryong Film Festival for the fun of seeing Do Gyeoul’s outfits.”
Among them, Do Gyeoul’s outfit that had been called legendary and unprecedented for several years straight had come from Ryu Lisa’s fingertips. I remember.
‘But did Ju Junseo bring me to Ryu Lisa right now?’
When Ryu Lisa gestured with her chin to give orders to her staff, a clothing rack prepared for Ju Junseo came out from inside.
“Noona, let’s start with this side first.”
“Hmm-mm. Ah. You’re Pi Chaewon? I watched the drama well. It was interesting.”
Ryu Lisa approached me closely, grabbed my hand, and shook it vigorously. Caught by her quite strong grip, I swayed back and forth.
“Haha! You’re really like Pi Chaewon from the start! You have no strength in your body at all!”
Ryu Lisa, who seemed amused as she patted my back, introduced herself.
“I’m Ryu Lisa. Do you know me? I’m famous, so you know me, right?”
“Of course. I know you well. Junseo sunbae’s legendary Mustang Outfit, that was Team Leader Ryu’s work, wasn’t it.”
“Oh? You really know?”
Since I started praising her from the beginning, I could feel her favorability noticeably rising.
‘I really did well subscribing to her.’
It was worth setting up likes and notifications. The first meeting wasn’t bad.
“Actually. My fee is kinda? You know? And I don’t usually take just anyone- especially not like this.”
Right. Of course I know. I fully know it’s a price tag that takes hundreds of millions per project.
“Noona. When did you tell me to just bring her and see first. How can you say ‘just anyone’ to someone’s face? And do you not remember last time when you just wore that brand shirt you wanted to push-“
“Shh. Junseo. Noona is talking. You shouldn’t interrupt adults when they’re speaking.”
As expected, Triple S. She smoothly brushes aside Ju Junseo’s temper in one go.
Ju Junseo looked at Ryu Lisa as if he found her absurd.
“But I’m kinda curious about Pi Chaewon, no, Yeoreum? That’s why I told you to come. What did she do that made Dokgo Gyeol follow her all the way to that countryside, the rumors are all over the place… Hmm… She’s cute but I find her a bit boring?”
Just when Ju Junseo’s annoyance button was about to be pressed again at those words.
Snap-!
Ryu Lisa lightly snapped her fingers and pointed at me while shouting.
“So! Pick just one thing from here.”
“…What should I pick?”
“Anything. Eyewear is fine, shoes are okay. A top or whatever else is good. Pick something Yeoreum wants to wear.”
“…”
While smiling brightly as if she had discovered something interesting.
