“No, what kind of program brings out song-pan boards to defeat the opposing organization?”

Joo Na-hyeon protested in disbelief, but the production staff just laughed happily and began stacking the song-pan boards layer by layer.

“It’s simple. Two people from each team come out and break the song-pan boards. The team that breaks the most song-pan boards wins, and the losing organization disbands on the spot.”

“Good grief. This story is really unpredictable.”

Exactly. I agree completely.

I thought Song-i was with the opposing organization, but Song-i still hasn’t appeared anywhere.

I thought it was flowing into an organization battle story, but the only opposing organization starts with Russian Roulette from the first game.

There’s still a long way to go until filming ends.

What kind of story are they trying to proceed with?

I couldn’t tell, but the game had started and the cast members quickly immersed themselves in the game as they always did.

“Who wants to do it? Na-hyeon is on that team. To beat her, Gwang-cheon hyung definitely has to participate. The rest are honestly about the same level.”

Lee Tae-hyeon looked back and forth between me and Daniele and clicked his tongue.

“Oh, hyung!”

Daniele let out a hollow laugh and pointed at me.

“Even so, saying Ji-ye and I are about the same level!”

Actually, he’s right. No matter how I think about it, even I think Ryu Ji-ye looks like she’d break one or two song-pan boards and then hurt.

Purely in terms of strength, it would be right for Daniele or Lee Tae-hyeon to do it.

Both Daniele and Lee Tae-hyeon have weak images, so they’re making self-deprecating jokes for fun saying they’re about the same level.

They’re probably planning to tease each other like this and then naturally exclude me and make Daniele do it.

‘Why should I be excluded?’

Actually, I’m not that weak. I may be thin, but I practically live at the gym trying to build stamina.

Breaking song-pan boards usually fails not because of lack of strength, but because you’re scared and hit too gently.

I want to be active here and get some screen time too.

“No matter what, thinking I’d be weaker than Ji-ye is too much. I have muscles too. Hyung, you lost to me in arm wrestling before.”

Daniele flexed his tiny bicep… well, not even a bicep, just muscle visible from being skinny.

Lee Tae-hyeon clicked his tongue and pointed at Daniele.

“Hey! That’s because you cheated! If you’re going to say you won by cheating!”

“Whether I cheated or not, winning is winning.”

Watching the two bicker endlessly, Kim Gwang-cheon chuckled and separated them.

“Useless guys sure get along well. Ji-ye, what do you think? Which of the two would you prefer?”

Kim Gwang-cheon gave me the choice but naturally excluded me. He doesn’t seem to even consider sending me out for a strength competition.

But I want to go out. I came here to get screen time and receive some attention, isn’t that natural?

“I…”

I looked back and forth between Daniele and Lee Tae-hyeon. Then the two began showing off their muscles with all their might.

‘They have less muscle than me though…’

Then I tilted my head and said.

“I’ll just go out myself.”

With the tone that neither of the two candidates seemed reliable, so I’d rather go myself.

Then I could see all three people momentarily flustered, but as expected, they skillfully switched gears quickly. Kim Gwang-cheon chuckled and patted my back approvingly, while Lee Tae-hyeon and Daniele protested with bewildered faces.

“No, Ji-ye, what was that expression just now?”

“Do we seem that unreliable? Do we look weaker than you, Ji-ye? Really?”

I just smiled silently at their words and put back on the sunglasses I had casually tucked into my shirt.

Then their protests became even stronger.

“Ji-ye, say something. Don’t you trust us?”

Of course it wasn’t serious, everyone was laughing, and it was a situational drama where only those two were going crazy.

Since I had established a blunt student character who speaks her mind even to Kim Gwang-cheon during my last appearance here, it was an easy situational drama to lead into.

Anyway, as long as I don’t lose after saying I’ll do it, that’s all that matters.

Fortunately, the song-pan boards in front of me were quite thin, probably to prevent injuries to celebrities, but there were many of them instead.

“Alright, let’s do that then. Ji-ye and I will go out. You guys just cheer.”

“No, hyung!”

“Really? Seriously?”

In the end, this conte ended with Kim Gwang-cheon giggling and choosing me.

Honestly, would cast members who’ve been playing games on programs for 10 years really be that serious about winning and losing games?

They just think it’s okay as long as interesting scenes come out, whether they win or lose.

So despite their protests, Daniele and Lee Tae-hyeon easily yielded their spot to me.

“Alright, if you’ve all decided, let’s start the game now. Are you ready?”

“Yes, we’re ready!”

At the cast members’ booming voices, the production staff said.

“Then right away, who wants to go first?”

“Let’s have the strong people go first, fair and square.”

At Kim Gwang-cheon’s words, Joo Na-hyeon stepped forward from the opposing team.

Joo Na-hyeon, former South Korean women’s judo national team member and gold medalist.

When it comes to strength, it’s Joo Na-hyeon, so she’s famous as a balance breaker in many ways, always being put on a different team from Kim Gwang-cheon.

“Then I’ll go first.”

Kim Gwang-cheon said and began breaking the song-pan boards with a battle cry.

“Uwoooooh!”

People burst into exclamations as he broke them.

Even though the song-pan boards were thin, he broke all of them except the last three.

“Hyung!”

“Wow!”

Lee Tae-hyeon and Daniele excitedly rushed to Kim Gwang-cheon, and Kim Gwang-cheon smiled broadly and bragged to Joo Na-hyeon.

“How’s that! Try it! Try it! Can you break more than this? Go ahead and try, Olympic gold medalist!”

He even used dialect while enthusiastically provoking her.

“Hah!”

Joo Na-hyeon raised her chin dismissively and lifted one corner of her mouth, then pulled her work gloves tight with a snapping sound to readjust them.

“Hey Kim, didn’t I tell you? Acting arrogant will get you badly hurt?”

Then she went in front of the song-pan boards and steeled herself.

“…Ack!”

A fist came down with a loud battle cry, and the song-pan boards quickly broke and split.

“Wowwwww!”

Much louder exclamations than before could be heard.

How much did she break to get that reaction? I tilted my head slightly to look…

She broke them all.

We’re screwed.

Joo Na-hyeon broke them all. All of those many song-pan boards.

Then she stood up lightly and bragged to Kim Gwang-cheon.

“Tsk tsk, Kim, you left three song-pan boards? You have to put weight into it when breaking, put weight into it.”

“Nooooo!”

Ah, so the strategy is to put weight into it and crush them down. That would definitely break more than pure strength.

“Alright, next batter please come out.”

While Kim Gwang-cheon was wallowing in defeat, I learned something good and stepped forward wearing two layers of work gloves.

“This time, Kang Hyeok, you go first.”

Perhaps to ease my nerves, Kim Gwang-cheon stepped up and designated the order.

I gave him a light bow in gratitude and watched Kang Hyeok.

Surprisingly, there can exist cast members who, even after appearing on variety shows with games for 10 years, can’t do a simple game like breaking song-pan boards.

For example, someone like Kang Hyeok.

“Wow, wait. Now that I’m actually trying to do this…”

Kang Hyeok put his fist against the song-pan board and took a ready position, then tilted his head and stood back up.

He’s naturally clumsy, especially fearful of pain or suffering, and lacks the know-how for using strength, so he was always excluded from these strength-based tasks.

Just like how my teammates naturally excluded me earlier, Kang Hyeok was the same.

But this time, he was part of a team with only two members and was doing something outside his area of expertise.

This means he can’t do it now.

It’s like the principle where if you’re scared and hit gently when breaking an egg on your head, it hurts more and doesn’t even break.

“Ugh, hurry up! Ji-ye is looking at you pathetically!”

Finally, Joo Na-hyeon raised her voice at Kang Hyeok, who had been hesitating for a long time.

At the nagging about why he couldn’t do this, Kang Hyeok didn’t know what to do and eventually closed his eyes, yes, actually closed his eyes and struck the song-pan.

Crack-

In conclusion, he did break it. But for some reason, the sound came not from the song-pan but from Kang Hyeok’s fist.

“Ahhh!”

His scream echoed throughout the entire venue. Watching that, I smiled with satisfaction.

Five shots.

This is driving me crazy. I’m definitely going to win this one hundred percent.
