That evening, the clip uploaded to Aetami’s account spread across SNS and communities, rapidly going viral. People clicked on the original link posted below.
-Please… tone down the acting… it’s so creepy I can’t sleep ㅜㅜㅜ
-Is that really a true story?;; It’s too cruel to be real
︎˪Yes, search for Saetani, Saeuni, or Yeommae and you’ll find detailed examples. My channel covers it in depth too, so please subscribe and like Friday the 13th^^
-You said it was ASMR ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ You lied! You lied!
-Isn’t ASMR supposed to be something you watch before bed damn it just makes me unable to sleep…
As expected, the reaction was explosive. In less than 24 hours, the view count broke through 150,000. Along with likes, the comment count increased like crazy.
7,762 comments
Just as Shin Rookie had predicted, a new genre was pioneered once again. Han Yeoreum was leading the way.
* * *
Jegal Rok checked the report. To summarize the neatly organized file in one line:
‘Success.’
Once again, the graph was drawing a curve. After the video upload, both view count and subscriber count increased steeply. Jegal Rok picked up his cell phone and said briefly.
“Contact the 〈Evil Spirit〉 team again. Ask if they’ve changed their mind about appearing.”
The day Han Yeoreum finished filming, Jegal Rok received the original video.
It was hard to believe this was content produced on a low budget. Jegal Rok immediately sent an appearance offer for a mystery movie that would be released in a few months.
“That’s a bit… An interview might be possible, but I think there are limits to introducing movies as content like ASMR. It might end up being consumed as a meme.”
But the answer was a cautious refusal. The immersion that space provides, the anticipation that music gives, the empathy that good editing creates. It couldn’t be helped since only one actor had to carry the video without expecting any other effects.
Jegal Rok looked at Han Yeoreum, who was rapidly creating buzz. Yeoreum was still displayed on the monitor.
“And please report the sales trends for 〈Strange Tales〉 as well.”
The public is transparent. If there’s interest, they move. Like the reaction during 〈Pacheci〉, they spread it widely without being told, and purchase without being forced.
Jegal Rok looked over the proposal from brands wanting to place PPL in the new web drama once more. The advertising amount column had higher numbers written than before.
[I’ll report the sales trends by tomorrow morning. However, there’s been a significant change in rankings. 〈Strange Tales〉, which had fallen outside the top 300, is currently settled at 2nd place.]
Below Han Yeoreum’s video, they had placed a link to view the original web novel 〈Strange Tales〉.
〈Strange Tales〉 wasn’t a work with particularly good performance. But after skimming through the scenario, Jegal Rok liked the 〈Strange Tales〉 that Team Leader Seong had brought. Even though there were many novels with more views and solid core fandoms.
This was intuition.
“It’s 1st place.”
When he entered the app to check, the rankings had been newly updated. The novel that had been pushed far out of the rankings because it had been completed for several years was proudly occupying 1st place. When he clicked on the comments and scrolled through, everyone mentioned that video.
-Those who came here after watching Intube, raise your hands
︎˪Me me, I just tried it and it was so scary I came to check out the original
I keep hearing the slime sounds replaying in my ears ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Jegal Rok looked at the 〈Strange Tales〉 scenario on his desk and opened a file. A list of works that JC ENM was planning to invest in was displayed.
Click-.
Jegal Rok clicked on 〈Strange Tales〉 that had been buried below and dragged it all the way to the top. He wanted to reveal this story to the world with JC ENM’s capital.
“I’ll revise all plans.”
What the consecutive successes indicated was clear. New wave. To open an era different from before, Han Yeoreum was needed.
“Project A. Let’s launch the Actor Label.”
It was time to create JC ENM’s new label.
* * *
“Oh~~~ Yeoreum~~~.”
This was the filming set for 〈Faster Than Law〉. As soon as I entered, I received greetings from the staff members. Everyone seemed to have watched the 〈Strange Tales〉 video.
“Yeoreum. What was that? A drama? Movie? Anyway, what was it?”
“Just one-off content. ASMR.”
“What! But you’re so good at it? I thought JC was making another new web drama!”
The staff members’ reaction was tremendous. Maybe because I’m a rookie, there were more people who didn’t hesitate to talk to me.
‘This is exactly… the taste of being a protagonist…’
Praise is so sweet.
‘It even made it to trending videos. Everyone please praise me more.’
This ASMR video caught the algorithm’s favor and appeared in trending videos. Although it was at the tail end, the comment response was hot relative to the video length. There were quite a few requests to make more videos like this.
“Right, right! I saw it too. You were good at it? The atmosphere then and now are completely different.”
Director Gong, who approached to give movement directions, praised me with a smile. The director was holding continuity in his hands.
“I expect you’ll do well today too. Make the scenario revision worthwhile!”
Today’s filming was the club scene. The reason I could pass the audition. The location where Influencer 1 appears for the longest time.
“If it feels a bit difficult, just say so. Since you’re twenty, you probably don’t know much about clubs and such. Your body might stiffen up. When that happens, if you have just a tiny bit of alcohol, really tiny, then you start to loosen up and some actors do well from then on.”
“Yes. I’ll work hard! I’ll do well.”
I smiled at Director Gong. Unlike when I worked with Detective Yoon last time, today there were many people.
Including elite Detective Yoon, physical Detective Gwak, gangsters, and people who came to play at the club. The amount that flies away with one NG is enormous.
‘Time is money on filming sets.’
Giving increased screen time to a rookie with little filming experience was Director Gong’s adventure. But I planned to handle my scenes without any NGs this time too.
‘It opened. The Item Shop.’
* * *
The Item Shop opened when articles kept coming out after the L’EL Style Awards ended.
[The rookie chosen by L’EL Style Awards, Han Yeoreum from 〈Pacheci〉… Not frozen fish but like an elegant young lady~]
[L’EL Style Awards acceptance speech, “Please invite me again next year” WOMAN OF INSPIRATION Award]
Actually, I thought it wasn’t that amazing of an award. I thought I’d just consider it meaningful as my first one, but.
“It’s more impressive than I expected…?”
I really felt what it means for a celebrity to have something worth one more news article.
“I guess this is why there are so many award ceremonies.”
Because they need to constantly create interesting topics for the public. While I was skimming through articles, the Status Window appeared once again.
Ding-!
“Finally!”
It meant that Han Yeoreum, who had been hidden behind the character name ‘Pi Chaewon’, was gradually being revealed. It seemed that industry insiders were also slowly becoming aware of me. Han Yeoreum, who had lived in obscurity for such a long time.
As my level was newly adjusted, my features increased as well. The Item Shop had finally opened.
I immediately pressed the entry button and entered the Item Shop.
