A Lie Has Become Reality

19 – Cider over sweet potato

Dreuk-

The elevator opened with a heavy sound.

Two men and women, looking around and exploring the surroundings, stepped out of the elevator.

“PD, did you really succeed in recruiting?”

“So you’re saying I hit a bullsh*t?”

“It’s not like that… That’s because it’s not realistic.”

“That’s right.”

Hot potatoes.

A few months ago, if only people who were somewhat familiar with the community or knew its name.

His identity is now making headlines due to the acquisition of Leonplay.

The name Hot Potato has literally become a hot potato.

As Epic of Seven’s reverse run led by him succeeded, the public’s interest in him, which was already hot, increased.

And above all…

“Because he is a complete human being, without missing a single thing: wealth, face, ability.”

“Besides, you’re Master Keum Ji-ok-yeop of the Taewoong Group.”

“Who would have known that he was the 3rd generation conglomerate even before the public announcement of Leon Play?”

Report on large holdings of stocks, etc.

It is also called the ‘5% rule disclosure obligation’.

This refers to a system that requires transparent disclosure of various information of individuals or corporations when they own more than 5% of the total issued stocks of listed companies.

Hot potatoes, which acquired 61% of the shares, are naturally included in the subject of the 5% rule disclosure obligation.

“It wasn’t even a fuss when it was first revealed.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a website go down due to the postings of public relations inquiries.”

“It has to be. Few countries are as interested in chaebol as our country is.”

“Do I Live Alone?” PD Kang Hye-yeon and camera director Kim Woo-hyeon.

They were heading to the meeting place for an upcoming pre-interview with Sungwoo Kim.

The place the two are heading to is the private cafe ‘Athena’ in Cheongdam-dong. It is a meeting place suggested by Kim Seong-woo himself.

After getting off the elevator and walking along the corridor for a while, the ornately decorated entrance with a signboard reading ‘Athena’ caught their attention.

As they were guided by the staff and entered a private room decorated like a seminar room, a familiar face greeted them.

“You had a lot of trouble coming, right? This is Kim Seong-woo.”

“hahahaha, hard work. Rather, we thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule. This is Kim Woo-hyun.”

Woohyun lowered his head, took Sungwoo’s hand and shook it vigorously.

Hyeyeon burst out laughing at Woohyun’s clumsily showing off his nervousness.

“Hello, I am Kang Hye-yeon, who is in charge of the general PD of ‘Do I Live Alone? Thank you very much for agreeing to the invitation.”

“Say something. I also appreciate the good suggestion.”

Ssiik-

We took our seats, exchanging greetings with hospitality smiles.

****

Oh, that’s pretty serious.

The camera director started installing cameras in every corner for the shooting setting in earnest.

Today, because it was planned that only a simple pre-interview would be held, it was said that it would be conducted without separate filming staff.

I was told to come in comfortable clothes, so I also came here without much preparation.

The reason why I recommend this private cafe is that this commercial building is owned by me.

“I am ready to shoot!”

My face will appear on major terrestrial entertainment programs soon.

The weight was different from the pressure I felt when I joined Suhyeon.

‘The image solidified here is important.’

No matter who you meet, isn’t that first impression the most important?

And the image I will show through this filming will be my first impression to the viewers.

How should I do an interview so that the viewers don’t have hate hair?

I thought about it for a long time, but in the end it came down to answering the interview honestly like I am.

“You just need to keep your eyes on this side of the camera. I will read the question, but please keep your eyes on the camera!”

Following her instructions, I fixed my eyes on the camera Woohyun was holding.

Hu, this is more nerve-wracking than I thought.

“After I finish asking a question, please count to 5 seconds and tell me! My question is that it will be replaced with subtitles anyway, so the audio shouldn’t overlap.”

“Okay.”

“Then let’s start filming! Please briefly introduce yourself and tell me about the reason you decided to appear in ‘Do I Live Alone’.”

She announced the start of the shoot with a lithe voice.

I lightly counted 5 seconds in my mind according to the instructions given in advance, and then removed my lips.

“Hello, my name is Sungwoo Kim, and I have been living alone for 6 years.”

Don’t be nervous, just do what you prepared… !

“The reason I decided to appear was to promote the game of the company I am the CEO of.”

Pu-sup-!

Hyeyeon, who was sitting in the corner next to her camera, squirted her faded coffee onto her floor.

What is it? Any problem?

“No, wait! What did you appear for?”

“Me? I want to promote the game.”

“… “

Why are you like that?

I looked at him as if there was something wrong.

“Big… big… ! Let’s go to the next question! Have you ever thought about wanting to appear in ‘Do I Live Alone’?”

“Oh, can I be honest?”

She glared at her with her eyes wide open as if asking for something obvious.

What did I do wrong?

Anyway, just be honest with this, right?

“I had never seen ‘Do I Live Alone’ until I received the offer. Have you ever thought about wanting to appear?”

Her hands began to tremble.

It looks like he has epilepsy.

“Ah… under… ? Then… You just said you lived alone for six years. How old are you by any chance?”

“Twenty-five.”

“Then Seong-woo started living alone at the age of 19?”

“Yes.”

“When she was young, she must have felt uncomfortable living alone. What would be one of the most difficult experiences she had while living alone?”

She said it was the hardest experience of living alone.

There are countless such experiences, but the problem is that all those experiences are experiences before a lie becomes reality.

Honestly, I don’t really feel the hardships of living alone right now.

If it’s difficult…

“I think I get lazy because living alone is so comfortable. That is a bit difficult.”

“Ah… Ahahahaha… “

“…?”

I was puzzled by her laughter. Did you find my answer funny?

Like it or not, she groaned, clutching her forehead as if in trouble.

Even the camera director holding back her laughter while pinching her thighs as if he couldn’t stand her.

The pre-interview filming started to creak from the very beginning.

****

General PD Kang Hye-yeon and camera director Kim Woo-hyun shudder like a puppy who wants to poop whenever I open my mouth.

They were such eccentric people.

The pre-interview did not take longer than I thought, and I responded honestly to all questions and answers without lies.

They both seemed to have passed out by the time the filming was finished, but it’s probably not something I care about.

I came home and started monitoring the Epic of Seven lying on the sofa today as usual.

The Epic of Seven Creative Contest was literally buzzing, and the game was also cruising amid tremendous acclaim.

I think Soohyun is still broadcasting.

Just in case, I went to Tweety and searched for Suming.

[Suming] Eose PVP DIA Let’s go to the end!!!!

PVP.

Player vs Player, Refers to two or more actual players competing against each other.

Epic of Seven is also actively promoting PVP content, the ‘Arena’.

Although, the agenda to make ‘Arena’ an official e-sports also came up from time to time from the planning team.

As much as it is, it is clear that ‘Arena’ is a well-made content that is too good to be left unattended.

[“Ahh!! I’m annoyed!!!!!”]

– Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

-Look at the joke ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

-Who wants to do it? hahahahaha

-If you heard Warrior, you should be beaten by the witch hahahahaha

-Look at his face blushing hahahahaha

– Diamond? They do their own no-nonsense content hahahahaha

– Lol lol

I laughed unconsciously at the sight of her roaring like a beast.

Warrior is generally a class that uses Sword Defense Tech.

The damage attached to each skill is powerful, but the reach is short and the judgment is poor, so it is a character with considerable control difficulty.

But only once.

If access is successful only once, the story will change.

[“Search!!!!!!!”]

– Stiffness Is it true?

– It’s hard to match the timing of the cancellation link with that one.

-Eose jjambab is alive

-Look at how it instantly sticks to Shua hahahaha

– Is this a deal bug?

-The location is also glass, and the warrior is very strong. ㅇㅇ

Warrior, like a character whose concept is a heavy blow, has a generous stiff judgment attached to most of his unique skills.

Is that all she is? The warrior trait Enables cancellation linkage between unique skills.

If only the approach is successful like now, it will be canceled without interruption, and the person who suffers from the related skills and the following stiff judgment will let go.

[“Have you seen it? Did the witch chew all the skills she laid out to cast Awakening Skills with Shua?”]

-I’m tired lol

-You have to do it like that to win lol

– If it was an Assassin, I think I would have won a long time ago hahahahaha

-So, when do you take Diamond? So, when are you taking DIA? So, when are you taking DIA?

-As expected, Ajumma’s class lol I can’t stand Ajumma’s warrior.

[“… ”]

But even so, Warrior is a PvP sh*thead.

In PVE, it’s a fraudster that boasts Tier 1 performance, but once it comes to the arena, it becomes a sh*thole.

Why is it so quiet anyway?

Normally this quiet…

Doo Doo Doo-

The background sounds of previous games disappeared, and a grand sound came out that made it sound like you had to hunt even dragons right away.

[“Ejumma? You go out.”]

-Seoguk

-Dang-Gung

-Execution Song

– Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

– The beginning of the dictatorship ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

-Suming seizure button ON

As expected.

Ajumma, also known as Epic of Seven Ajumma. One of Suming’s seizure buttons.

If you get banned from chatting like that, there is only one way to get rid of it.

Peek laughter burst out.

As expected, Tiki-Taka shared with viewers is the real fun of this broadcast.

By the way… That guy, I don’t really like his nickname.

What? Sweet potato rather than potato?
