Episode 74
“The number of internet viewers, comments, and influence are all strong in Southeast Asia. That’s where our profits will come from.”
Being satisfied with just the ad view counts from clicking on Intube videos was too small-scale. No one immediately understood. They just silently shared glances.
“Netholics is releasing original series. Riding this momentum, they’ll land in Korea before long. I guarantee that all three terrestrial broadcasters and even cable will be pushed out by OTT services.”
“….”
“Before producing original works in Korea, they’ll need to provide content that Koreans would want to watch. will definitely be included then. As more teens and twenties subscribe, the thirties and forties will follow.”
Murmurs arose from here and there.
“If Netholics isn’t stupid, they’ll choose .”
It was different from before. The reaction was soaked in anticipation.
“Moreover, Netholics originals are already in production in Japan. Won’t they look for a place to produce in Korea within a few years? So where would they choose?”
Jegal Rok was already looking several moves ahead.
“Won’t they look for a company whose existing works are performing well on Netholics and has high mention volume domestically and in Southeast Asia?”
In other words. Jegal Rok was saying they would join hands with Netholics the moment they entered Korea.
The executives’ eyes lit up. If Jegal Rok’s predictions were correct, profits on a completely different scale from giving up the Chinese market would flow into JC.
“Anyone who can refute this.”
No one could raise their hand. It was just a fusion historical drama based on a web novel, but in Jegal Rok’s hands, the scale had changed completely.

“Ah, I’m so full….”
Aetami was full even without eating. Content was pouring out every day. N Company’s new photoshoot and Intube clips, and finally even Yeoreum’s proper profile had been released.
“So Yeoreum’s birthday really was in midsummer.”
August 17th. She had already saved the video of Yeoreum’s birthday party that was uploaded to N Company’s SNS story.
“Ah, I want to send birthday gifts.”
The face that was slightly teary-eyed in front of the cake squeezed otaku hearts. The photos that were uploaded to Yeoreum’s SNS circulated in communities.
[20s Chat Board/ Recommend good female celebrities to follow]
I want to see female celebrities who take good photos and have good aesthetics. I’ll save them in my gallery and copy their photos. Idols are good, actors are fine too! I’d prefer lots of daily photos rather than high-quality advertising photos
-Chu Gaeul is cute lol
︎˪Thanks: Thank you, followed Chu Gaeul.
-Is Do Gyeoul too famous? She has the best aesthetics in my opinion
︎˪I can’t remember anyone other than Do Gyeoul lol
︎-I recommend Han Yeoreum. The photos on her story and everything are good. My favorite photo is this (N Company photoshoot birthday party photo.jpg)
Holy shit, this is P1Harmony right?ㅜㅜㅜ so cute
“Right now the mention volume isn’t as active as during … but this much is fine!”
It was early debut days when every mention and photo was precious. Aetami hoped Yeoreum would be unconsciously imprinted on people who didn’t know her yet.
She checked Yeoreum’s steadily rising follower count today as well.

“She’ll break 200K followers soon. Why is my baby rising so fast? Huh?”
Aetami, wearing Pi Chaewon Sneakers, habitually searched Yeoreum’s name on the portal site again.
Five minutes ago, photos of Yeoreum attending N Company’s offline event had appeared. Seeing Yeoreum in an ivory knit set made her heart race.
“My daughter… My daughter Han Yeoreum… Really legendary today too.”
Click-.
[Would you like to purchase?]
Aetami quickly entered N Company’s website and bought the outfit Yeoreum wore without even putting it in her cart. She had already purchased the ALAB Hair Mist from the recent advertisement long ago.
BEST▶︎ N Lettering Half-Zip Knit (SEMI OVER FIT)
Meanwhile, the clothes Yeoreum wore were listed as bestsellers. Aetami consoled herself by purchasing items Yeoreum advertised instead of sending gifts.
[Han Yeoreum visits N Flagship Store… “It suits you so well~” High praise]
[Han Yeoreum’s cute pose at the event “Where should I look at the camera?” brings fatherly smiles…]
[Han Yeoreum becomes N brand’s new model, will sell out again this time]
She was looking at the flood of articles about Yeoreum when it happened.
“…Huh?”
Suddenly, new news caught her eye.
[Actor Han Yeoreum selected as music show MC]
It was news that JC ENM’s music show would feature Yeoreum as MC.
* * *
Let’s admit it. Director Jegal Rok is a genius.
“He connects and thinks about things like this?”
Everything Director Jegal Rok says soon becomes reality. Most works that received Chinese investment were practically destroyed.
I couldn’t know the details since I didn’t have connections, but I remember it was tremendous anyway.
-The average loss for hit works back then was about 6 billion won.
Myeong Jeha on the other side of the screen kindly answered.
I wondered what this sudden video call was about, but somehow Myeong Jeha had found out and relayed exactly what Director Jegal Rok had said.
‘Jegal Rok bought the rights to …’
Before my regression, it definitely wasn’t JC ENM that purchased the rights and entered production. Could it be, really could it be…
‘Did he decide to purchase after seeing my video?’
Realizing that tens of billions might move because of me alone made the corners of my mouth twitch.
My chest swelled with grandeur. I already felt like a great actor.
That’s when Myeong Jeha’s voice came from the screen.
-What are you thinking about that makes you smile.
“Seeing the best face just makes me smile naturally. Suddenly my cell phone quality seems to have become 4K.”
-Haha. Are you always this sly?
We still hadn’t talked to each other about our pre-regression stories.
I gratefully received the hints Myeong Jeha threw me, and Myeong Jeha also listened to my current situation. That was exactly our relationship.
-Do you know why Jegal Rok made you a music show MC?
“To some extent.”
I can roughly guess.
Currently in Southeast Asia, K-POP has much higher recognition than K-dramas. Viewers interested in Korean culture will watch music broadcasts, and in the process, I’ll become somewhat familiar to them.
Then when exporting , there will be some positive influence.
-But you’re reacting so calmly?
But Myeong Jeha’s additional explanation exceeded my expectations.
-Music broadcast viewers who follow K-POP are practically guaranteed to have purchasing power. So Yeoreum’s fans will follow your SNS too, and that looks good when showing to investors. A rookie actress named Han Yeoreum with this many followers—wouldn’t you invest in her next project? Soon a new market will open, so everyone will choose different investment methods from the existing ones.
Oh… I hadn’t even thought of that.
Using my name to attract investment? Jegal Rok would go that far?
-In reality, there are barely a handful of actresses that investors trust enough to bring in capital… But if overseas purchasing power is guaranteed, that’s a different story. That’s why they’re increasingly casting idols.
Myeong Jeha’s gentle voice made my heart pound. This wasn’t just for the success of .
-He’s saying he’ll bring you both roles—idol and actress. There are many cases of idols becoming actors, but the reverse is hard to find… Jegal Rok seems to want to use a more iconic approach.
It went beyond the success of just one drama.
It meant JC ENM would nurture Han Yeoreum more seriously. My mouth fell open as I finally understood the whole picture.
-Now that I’ve explained it all, how about being even happier since you understand?
Even without Myeong Jeha’s command, I was overwhelmed enough.
I rolled around on the bed while still holding my cell phone. Han Yeoreum. The anticipation of how far my name would spread made the world seem to spin around me.
* * *
“He’s lost his mind.”
News that Jegal Rok would produce while blocking the export route to China spread rapidly in less than 24 hours.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say everyone in the industry was watching Jegal Rok’s moves.
“Solo producing a fusion historical drama? No… how could he think of something so crazy…”
“Blocking China exports. If he does that, forget Ministry of Culture support—the Promotion Agency won’t give production subsidies either, right?”
In that case, the next issue would be quality. It was an undeniable fact that more investment money meant satisfying viewers’ eyes.
“Is this finally Jegal Rok’s first flop?”
“It was about time! Honestly, isn’t there some exaggeration? All that talk about innovation—half of that was created by Manager Ma, wasn’t it? Let’s be honest, what’s more important than marketing in this business?”
“Hey, that’s going too far. Jegal Rok is Jegal Rok for a reason.”
In the break room, at the broadcasting station’s 1st floor cafeteria, in the company cafeteria, in the editing room, in the meeting room, at the filming set, from one industry insider’s cell phone to another.
That’s how the story of Jegal Rok’s China export issue spread.
