Episode 84

Soon, the era of challenges will open along with Short Form. It’s the timing when Twitter users surge up instead of communities.

‘Exactly close to ten times the current number of subscribers will be created.’

Once it gets RT’d, a perfect moment comes to make your face known through short videos.

“I also need to create a fresh newcomer image, so I’ll have to follow the Choreography in between, and Seo Eden will handle about 80% of those moments. If there’s anything that makes you think ‘This choreography is really cute, looks good to follow,’ please focus on that. Make me look cute.”

“…Did you deliberately pretend not to know the choreography earlier…?”

“Yes. Still, I’m an actor, so I’m not bad at using my body. But I want to focus on parts that will capture my face well.”

“Did you also deliberately mention asking me if I practiced earlier…?”

“Let’s skip over such trivial things. Even if I follow the choreography well, I won’t be as good as Seo Eden. Anyway, you understand, right? Let’s each take the parts where we can shine in our respective professions. Selection and focus!”

Seo Eden made an expression like ‘what kind of thing is this,’ but nodded his head diligently.

“Yes. I understand.”

“Yes, good. Let’s do well together from now on.”

A Staff member shouted from far away.

“Live broadcast standby 1 minute 30 seconds-! Please stand by!”

Seo Eden moved his steps and asked me to confirm.

“Don’t you need to organize the Cue Card once more?”

I lightly waved the card in my hand and said.

“It’s fine.”

Actually, I was waiting for you to ask. I really wanted to give this answer.

“I memorized all the Dialogue Delivery.”

Ah, Han Yeoreum. Even I think I’m cool. As expected, who am I? At the Seoul International Drama Awards, the jury’s special…

“Live broadcast standby 1 minute-!”

Here we go. Let’s go.

Click- Click-.

In the dark room with lights off, thin fingers moved busily. Despite repeating clicks several times, at some point the post had gone down below.

“…Annoying.”

Unlike the dark room, the bright Monitor displayed today’s live Music N captures. The post with 137 recommendations and 88 comments was precariously hanging at the edge of the best posts.

[Nate Community/ Best Talk Talk/ Today’s Seo Eden stuttering on Music N.jpg]

It’s a live broadcast, so if you didn’t memorize it, at least look at the cue cards lol Just standing there awkwardly and staring at the camera – how does that solve anything?ㅠ It was already obvious you were dying to go solo, but not being able to perform even when spoon-fed is just disappointing

(Capture of Yeoreum naturally opening her mouth to handle the situation.jpg)

Honestly, if it wasn’t for Pi Chaewon, he wouldn’t have even been buried

-? Why is someone who doesn’t know anything acting up so much? According to Han Yeo-reum’s official statement, there really was a problem with the cue cards lol (Upvotes: 201)

Where? I want to see it too ㅠㅜ

︎˪(Seo Eden fan account link) If you go here it shows right away. After the show ended during small talk time, Pi Chaewon looked toward the Staff and switched with her Cue Card

The post that couldn’t reach first place was spread here and there.

In the overlapping internet windows, posts with similar titles were uploaded. And all had the same photo.

Seo Eden panicking and almost causing a broadcast accident. Han Yeoreum contrasted with such an incompetent Seo Eden.

“Ah, shit…”

But the frame wasn’t properly set. Not as many comments were posted as expected.

-But it’s true that they’re being carried by Hanyeoreum, fucking drama queen. What would’ve happened if they didn’t change the cue cards? Some people memorize everything while others just coast by (Likes 113)

What kind of logic is this lol If they asked for new cue cards during the performance, they would’ve brought them

Didn’t Hannyeoreum only memorize the beginning part? If she had memorized everything, she could’ve done it without looking at the cue cards, but she kept looking at them afterwards lol Just because she messed up a few cards at the beginning, look at all the fuss being made – it’s so obvious who their bias is lololol When has Eden ever been desperate about individual activities? She just gets called to a lot of places

Except for a few criticism comments, all were comments correcting that there was a problem with the Cue Card, and comments mocking the poster.

-It’s always the ones who can’t get their own lives together that tear down other people’s lives lol Both Seo-eun and Han-yeo-reum are living their lives to the fullest, oh my poor Jeong-byeong~! ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Would you like to report this?]

The button was pressed to report the comment, but it wasn’t easily deleted.

The hand that had been moving busily until just now had moved to the mouth. Dissatisfied lips chewed on fingernail tips.

“It would have been better if it was the opposite…”

It was regrettable thinking that if it had been incompetent Han Yeoreum and Seo Eden working hard alone, the comment reactions would have flared up more.

“Next week, with Han Yeoreum pretending to be close to Seo Eden… I need to catch something.”

The owner of the dark shadow wasn’t even Han Yeoreum’s fan. It just showed the inner desire for either of them to be cursed at.

The shadow that had been scrolling down looking at Han Yeoreum’s face closed all internet windows when footsteps were heard.

Soon the room door burst open.

“What is this room! I told you to turn on the lights because your eyes will get bad?”

“Ah, Mom-. I told you to knock.”

“What knock, eat some apple. Are you watching dramas again? Don’t binge-watch so much in one day, take it easy.”

“I got it.”

Click-.

When Mom left and turned on the room light, the room that hadn’t seen light instantly became bright. On the desk, on the door, on the Wall, on the Laptop screen background.

Do Gyeoul was everywhere.

“When will Gyeoul’s drama come out…”

A humming, muttering voice lingered in the room.

Soon the crisp sound of apple crunching was heard cheerfully. It was a peaceful daily life, unlike someone who had been writing gloomy posts.

* * *

Jegal Rok monitored today’s Han Yeoreum. No excess, no flaws, in a word.

“Useful.”

As expected, his judgment had never been wrong. Whatever the attempt was. Once again, he thought it was good to bring Han Yeoreum to JC ENM.

‘Handling unexpected situations comes naturally.’

Jegal Rok had already been told that there was no problem with the Cue Card. From beginning to end, it was a play Han Yeoreum had staged.

Being an actor, she knew how to create excellent situational settings.

‘Not throwing controversial topics is also good.’

If she had shown that she memorized the entire Script by reading without looking at the Cue Card, Seo Eden’s attitude would have been at the center of controversy.

When one side is excessively competent, the other side looks relatively more incompetent.

But Han Yeoreum made it seem like there was really no fault with Seo Eden. It wasn’t an attitude a newcomer unfamiliar with unexpected situations and wanting to stand out even a little more would take.

Click-.

Looking at the materials Manager Ma had passed over, Jegal Rok clicked the next file.

It contained the final conditions each broadcasting company had delivered regarding the broadcasting rights for 〈Strange Tales〉. Looking through the neatly organized file, Jegal Rok concluded.

‘Everyone’s IQ is questionable.’

Not accepting Chinese investment was like saying they would also give up on Chinese exports. It was a condition that would easily displease Chinese investors.

Terrestrial broadcasting including MBS took a passive attitude. He had hoped, but as expected, things flowed as predicted.

Jegal Rok chose the broadcasting company to air 〈Strange Tales〉 among them.

Input: There is no more coordination with other broadcasting companies. Tell them the contract fell through.

Jegal Rok finished making his choice without further deliberation.

His choice was TVM. Jegal Rok, who had been considering terrestrial broadcasting for Han Yeoreum’s mainstream appeal, ultimately decided to air 〈Strange Tales〉 on the cable channel operated by JC ENM.

‘This might actually be a more rational choice.’

Unlike terrestrial broadcasting, cable had fewer regulations from the Korea Communications Commission. Given the nature of ghost stories as subject matter, choosing cable might be able to properly draw out the trendiness that Jjang Director possessed.

Input: The male lead has also been decided. Please contact the relevant entertainment agency by tomorrow morning.

Jegal Rok was someone who never let his brain rest. In his mind, spread out like a spider web, countless options were erased and the candidates he had shortlisted became clear.

Input: Kwon Junhyeok.

A 6th-year idol. High demand from overseas fans. A low voice. Attractively dark skin with monolids. And even the scar near his eyebrow.

He was the optimal choice for becoming Lord Jongsagwan in 〈Strange Tales〉.
