Episode 122. Plus Ten
After hearing Yeon-woo’s words, Team Leader Jeong Hyeok and the other team members smiled as if they had expected this.
“Actually, we knew you would choose option 4.”
“Huh?”
“Option 4 wasn’t originally on the list, but before you came, the CEO came in and added it to the list. He said you would definitely choose this one.”
“CEO Kim Ju-seong?”
Yeon-woo pictured the middle-aged gentleman with pomaded hair wearing a neatly arranged suit.
As expected, legendary figures in this industry are different.
To pick out one that he would want from among countless programs.
Looking at such Yeon-woo, Team Leader Jeong Hyeok opened his mouth.
“We’re also thinking positively about the effects. If you decline major broadcasting stations’ flagship variety shows and participate in a YouTube channel that directly meets with fans, it would have a positive impact on your image as well.”
Hearing those words, Yeon-woo nodded as if agreeing.
Of course, he didn’t choose it aiming for such image formation, but if he could create additional effects, it would truly be killing two birds with one stone.
The variety show matter was decided on YouTube like that, and the meeting moved on to the next agenda.
“Then we’ll adjust the schedule for Lee Hantech’s Patriots and Veterans Month commemorative advertisement that we mentioned last time to the week after the YouTube filming.”
“Are the storyboards ready?”
At Yeon-woo’s question, Team Leader Jeong handed over the documents containing the storyboards.
“From what I can see, it seems quite well put together. I thought they would just film image advertisements wearing military uniforms or uniforms, but there’s actually a story. Why don’t you take a look yourself, Yeon-woo?”
At Team Leader Jeong Hyeok’s words, Yeon-woo received the storyboards and began examining them carefully.
After looking at the advertisement storyboards for a moment, Yeon-woo tilted his head slightly.
‘Hmm? Is this the planner’s intention? Or did they create it like this without knowing?’
One big flow was running through the advertisement with various scene transitions.
‘The solemnity is all the same solemnity, but they all have slightly different textures?’
This seemed like it would be interesting from an acting perspective, aside from being a commercial film.
While rehearsing in his head how he should act, Yeon-woo grinned.
‘This should be fun.’
***
Vibe Studio.
A social media-based media brand that has been doing quite well recently by operating several planned channels through YouTube.
“Yes, yes! Thank you! Thank you so much!”
Team Leader Lee, who had been constantly bowing and expressing gratitude while talking to someone on the phone in one corner of the office, put down the phone receiver.
“C-CEO…”
“What? Min-gyu. What’s wrong?”
The six or so staff members including the CEO in the office were each doing their own work, but seeing Team Leader Lee Min-gyu’s attitude during the phone call, they were perking up their ears.
“W-well, you know. The ‘Fan Detective Agency’ casting.”
“Yeah, what about Fan Detective Agency? Did we get AXIS by any chance?”
“No. It’s something bigger than that.”
At Team Leader Lee Min-gyu’s words, the staff in the office tilted their heads.
They’re the hottest boy group these days, so what could be bigger than getting an AXIS member?
Team Leader Lee, who had been catching his breath and building suspense for a moment, opened his mouth.
“Actor Ryu Yeon-woo will appear.”
“…”
For a moment, silence fell over the office, then screams erupted from various places.
“Whaaaat?!”
“…Ryu Yeon-woo?”
“Team Leader Lee. Is that for real?!”
The CEO jumped up from his seat.
While casting naturally goes through meetings to select candidates, since corporate YouTube channels’ recognition still can’t compare to broadcasting stations, they often failed at casting.
Actually, he didn’t even know they had made a casting request to Ryu Yeon-woo.
Recently, idols often appeared to promote albums or concerts, but that ‘Ryu Yeon-woo’?
The CEO’s mouth stretched from ear to ear, but while feeling bewildered, he was also somewhat scared.
‘This is a major star who won’t appear even when major networks send love calls, so if even a small controversy arises, our channel is finished. I’ll have to personally review and approve every single subtitle.’
Not long after, a post went up on Ryu Yeon-woo’s fan cafe Woo’s.
– [Notice] Please write down the small wishes you have these days. We’ll send prepared gifts to those selected through a drawing.
Seeing the post registered by cafe manager Yeo Nu-ji-na through the YouTube team’s guidance, the fan cafe members thought it was purely a lottery event and began registering their trivial wishes as comments.
– Jay Nari Addict(rlacoa**): I hope Jay Nari releases a proper album, not just an audio track… I’ve already loaded my bullets!
– Let’s Go(tooker4**): I hope I win about 3rd place in the lottery.
– Seo Hee’s Wife(rlafodu**): Suddenly asking for wishes? It’s not even Christmas.
└ Makeup Ju-hee(wngml5**): Buddha’s Birthday is coming soon.
– YeonWoolBabyCoochieCoochie(wkdwo**) : I’m an entertainment company employee, and I hope a capable junior joins our company.
└ 뀨슬라(suin4***) : 우와! 엔터 어디요?
└ YeonWoolBabyCoochieCoochie(wkdwo**) : Just a crappy company···.
– 준수대왕(forbes***) : 토익 점수 좀 이백 점만 올라가길. 제발류ㅠㅠ
And the YouTube team selected wishes from the comments that Ryu Yeon-woo could personally fulfill.
“Team Leader. We got consent from the fan who applied. Now we’re going to call the company to get cooperation for filming.”
“What company did they say it was?”
“Plus Ten Entertainment.”
Team Leader Lee from the YouTube team at Vibe Studio tilted his head.
“Hmm? Who’s there?”
“Well. They had quite a few celebrities until the year before last, but not many now. They seem to be preparing a rookie girl group, but other than that, there’s not much activity.”
“Then they’ll probably rack their brains to use Ryu Yeon-woo for promotion, so they’ll give permission without much trouble.”
Team Leader Lee’s prediction was correct.
The protagonist of the wish selected by the YouTube team, ‘YeonWoolBabyCoochieCoochie’.
And Byeon Hak-gyu, the CEO of Plus Ten Entertainment where she works, immediately jumped at the YouTube team’s proposal due to his increasingly narrow position in the entertainment industry.
“So actor Ryu Yeon-woo will work as a day employee at our company? Oh my, how could there be any question? Of course filming is possible. Yes, yes.”
– We simply told Ms. Gong Min-jeong who works there that it’s an interview about actor Ryu Yeon-woo’s fans. We’d appreciate it if you could go along with that story too, CEO.
“Yes, well, I understand. You said the filming day is Friday?”
– That’s correct, CEO.
After hanging up, Byeon Hak-gyu’s mouth stretched into a wide grin.
“Hehehe. There really is no law saying you should die. That Ryu Yeon-woo guy is so high and mighty these days he won’t even appear on terrestrial variety shows. If it’s his first YouTube appearance, the view count is guaranteed, and the promotional effect will be proper. It’s perfect to subtly slip in the kids who are debuting this time.”
Yeon-woo first learned about CEO Byeon Hak-gyu through Jung Su-yeon.
After various investigations, he learned that he was a person connected to ‘Baeksol’ and had been keeping a close eye on him, but to Byeon Hak-gyu, Ryu Yeon-woo was just a popular young trending celebrity these days.
***
Meanwhile, Yeon-woo, who had been receiving reports throughout the process, expressed agreement that the plan to join a fan’s company as a day new employee and surprise them by fulfilling their wish seemed interesting.
And upon hearing that the fan worked at ‘Plus Ten Entertainment’, he urgently called Han Hae-woon.
A silver SUV entering the park entrance they had met at before with its headlights on.
Han Hae-woon parked in a corner of the park parking lot and got out.
“Team Leader. I finally completed it.”
Han Hae-woon took something out from inside his jacket.
Yeon-woo nodded as he received the USB-like device.
“Good work. Did you check the performance thoroughly?”
“Yes. I cross-checked it and there are no problems.”
As soon as he heard the news about YouTube filming at Plus Ten Entertainment’s office building, what Yeon-woo urgently ordered Han Hae-woon to make was a hacking tool he had used frequently in his previous life.
“How coincidental that it’s Plus Ten Entertainment. I was just trying to appear on a YouTube variety show as fan service.”
The plan was to upload it to Plus Ten Entertainment’s office server and install a hacking program that would copy information sent and received from CEO Byeon Hak-gyu’s computer.
Han Hae-woon nodded at Yeon-woo’s words and spoke again.
“The key is finding out what type of server Plus Ten has. If it’s not possible with employee computers, we’ll probably need to upload directly to the CEO office or server room.”
“That’s why you’re coming with me.”
This was their first joint operation since starting their new lives.
Actually, looking back at the ‘real operations’ from their previous lives, this wasn’t grand enough to be called an operation.
Since Han Hae-woon’s previous life as Baek Yu-hyeon was a high-level information security agent even within the National Intelligence Service, there was no worry about leaving traces from hacking or future problems.
However, that would require direct infiltration, and this YouTube filming was a golden opportunity for an outsider to enter without suspicion.
“I’ll tell the YouTube team in advance, so you can enter as a cameraman from LN Enter shooting a making film.”
“Yes, understood.”
To the YouTube team as an LN Enter representative.
To LN Enter as YouTube team filming staff.
And to Plus Ten, since he was an outsider anyway, either way didn’t matter.
The plan was for Han Hae-woon to become the third man and roam enemy territory while Yeon-woo drew attention.
And time passed, and the YouTube filming day approached.
Gong Min-jeong, who used the fan cafe Wooze ID ‘YeonWoolBabyCoochieCoochie’, was nervous from the morning looking at the cameras installed on her desk and ceiling.
She had initially hesitated at the explanation about making a YouTube documentary capturing the daily lives of actor Ryu Yeon-woo’s fans, but somehow the usually trashy old-fashioned company ‘Plus Ten’ actively encouraged filming, so she was filming reluctantly.
“Is this right? Hello. I’m YeonWoolBaby···. C-coochiecoochie. After coming to work in the morning, I first check today’s work tasks.”
Her face turned red trying to say her ID out loud.
‘I should have made a more decent ID!’
Then Manager Kim came down and spoke to her.
“Min-jeong. A new employee will be coming in today, okay?”
“Yes? A new employee?”
Min-jeong’s head tilted at this story she was hearing for the first time.
“So make sure to work with the new employee to rewrite the debut group schedule report and submit it directly to the CEO.”
“What? The debut group schedule report was already submitted and fully approved though?”
“Oh, well. Just do as you’re told.”
Gong Min-jeong made a displeased expression as she watched Manager Kim wave his hand dismissively and turn to leave.
“What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden? We haven’t posted any job openings recently, so what’s this about a new employee, and why redo the debut group schedule?”
Min-jeong, who had been muttering, looked at the self-camera placed on her desk and quickly shut her mouth with an “oh no.”
‘They’ll edit all this out, right?’
While she was having this pointless worry, the planning office door opened and a young man in neat black slacks and a white shirt entered carrying a leather backpack.
However, he was wearing both a hat and mask, so his face couldn’t be seen.
“Hello! I’m the new employee starting my first day today.”
The planning office only had four people, but the manager had just left, and one person had gone to the restroom, so there were only two people in the office including Min-jeong.
Since she had just heard about a new employee coming, Min-jeong stood up.
“Hello. I’m Gong Min-jeong. I’ll show you around.”
Either way, she was happy that her first junior was joining below her, who had been the youngest on the team.
‘It’s 9:40 now, so is he late on his first day? And why is he all bundled up with a mask and hat?’
Min-jeong tilted her head as she looked at the young man in front of her.
“By the way, do you have a cold? Why the mask…”
Come to think of it, he had only introduced himself as a new employee when he came in, so she didn’t even know his name.
Then the young man in front of her took off his mask and hat while smiling brightly.
“Hello, senior! I’m Ryu Yeon-woo, working as a one-day new employee today.”
Min-jeong’s thoughts stopped for a moment.
“Ah…?”
She stared blankly at the surreal situation, then came to her senses when she saw the NeTube team cameraman following behind.
However, as her logged-out mind logged back in, she seemed to need some boot-up time and stuttered a bit.
Then her eyes widened as she covered her mouth and stepped backward.
“Uh… Whaaaat?!”
Seeing such a cute fan reaction, Yeon-woo grinned.
“You’re YeonWooBabyCoochieCoochie senior, right?”
“Ah! That, that! Please don’t say my username out loud. No, that’s not the problem – ah! What do I do? What is this situation?”
And behind them, Han Hae-woon was holding a camera, pretending to film Yeon-woo while quietly surveying the building’s structure and the blind spots of the security cameras.
