Celebrity Life Misunderstood as a Genius

chapter 14



[14] Large Rookie (4)

It’s annoying, what reason do you need?

It’s just a simple difference in taste.

Personally, I never disliked composer Yoon Seong-hyun.

I think it would be difficult to get close to them because our tastes in music are so different.

“Then I’m done.”

“Yeah.”

I informed the members of today’s schedule and left the studio.

‘I need to increase my kids’ training.’

Now <Top Idol>

Because the first shoot is right in front of your nose.

If you’re not good at it, you have to practice a lot.

Diana, in particular, is a bit lacking in singing and dancing.

Is it because I was selected in the debut group after only 6 months?

For a girl group these days, the basic skills are too lacking.

After a while,

As soon as I arrived at the office, Manager Park called me.

“Suho, come here.”

“Yeah?”

“Do you want to come in for an interview today?”

“Me? A manager interview?”

“Uh. The head of the public relations team got a vacancy, so the head of the department and I had an interview.”

“…”

Seeing earlier, Umji Yu also said that today is an interview.

“It hasn’t been long since I joined Q&G.”

“The head of PR is also from Dream Agency. You’ve had 3 years of experience as well.”

“It is, but.”

I think it would be better to just be honest.

There’s nothing wrong with that, so there’s no reason to hide it.

“Actually, it seems difficult because there are acquaintances among the applicants.”

“Acquaintance? Who is it?”

“Can I speak?”

“Anyway, passing is the responsibility of the manager.”

“Applicant Um Ji-yu.”

Eom Jae-ha and Umji-yu siblings.

It was a relationship that continued thanks to her shamanic grandmother.

Since her childhood, there have been frequent exchanges between her parents.

“Hmm, definitely a bit of an odd relationship.”

“Right?”

“I heard that you wrote down a very strange history on the application form.”

“What is it?”

Activities that I filmed and uploaded Solar members’ fancams on my Youtube channel.

If you write something like this in the application form, you will be disappointed even if you want to pick it up.

“Eh, he’s been announced and uses his talents like this.”

“Hmm, it says on your resume that you are from the directing department.”

“Yes, that is correct.”

Although there are not many subscribers, the number of views of the direct cam video was considerable.

Originally, girl group direct cams come to see the visual members.

‘I study hard for the CSAT with that sincerity.’

The hassle of going to a broadcasting station early in the morning and taking pictures with a high-end camera.

It’s such a tedious job that it would be difficult to do with a fan’s heart.

“He’s been a fan for a long time since he was young.”

“Yes?”

Regardless of whether it was a boy group or a girl group, I just fantasized.

That’s why the college entrance exam was tough, and I was twisted from the age of 20.

“Hmm, it’s difficult when a manager fantasizes about his own artist.”

“I think so too.”

“Well, it’s a matter for the manager to decide.”

“…”

He can afford a good house, so why apply for a small and medium-sized entertainment company?

Even if you fall off, it’s okay to brush it off with a drink.

“Anyway, check the schedule of top idols and write a report.”

“Yes. Chief.”

* * *

Q&G label, 2nd headquarters interview room.

Director Gong Se-won shook his head as he looked at the applicant’s specs.

Soon after, I spoke to team leader Park, who was conducting the interview with me.

“Eomjiyura… But I do have a driver’s license.”

“That’s basic.”

“Anyway, 20 years old is a bit like that, right?”

“Of course. Who doesn’t even go to college these days and goes to work?”

“But it only took one.”

6 months of experience as an intern at Tumble Investment.

How did you get into this spec?

“If it wasn’t for my internship experience, I wouldn’t have been able to get the first document at Q&G.”

“Yes. Maybe.”

An investment company that is devoted to its parent company, Dream Agency.

I was a high school graduate, but I did an internship at Tumble Investment.

“Can this be normal?”

“I do not know.”

“I’ll let you in at once.”

Then, the next applicant came in and bowed his head.

“Um Ji-yu, please introduce yourself.”

“Hello! I’m Um Ji-yu, a fan who loves Solar and a support manager!”

“Um… That’s right.”

How could the person’s name be Umji-yu?

Like the name of the CEO of Tumble Investment.

“She has a rather unique name.”

“Yeah?”

“Ah, whatever.”

Chief Gong scanned the applicant’s outfit and his eyes twinkled.

No matter how many interviews you have, it’s too much to walk around with tens of millions of won.

A typical gold spoon who likes social media and is vain.

She lived a little herself, but she did not indulge in these luxuries.

‘Besides…’

The unusual history written on her application documents caught my eye.

Because she wrote the compilation video of her solar on you tube in her dossier.

“Solar members fancam? What is this?”

“Yes. I thought it was a necessary virtue for a fan manager.”

“… At all.”

Fan managers are not video editors.

Why don’t you promote your You Tube channel on your application?

‘It’s open today.’

Oh my God, a very strange human being applied.

How did you become an intern at Tumble Investments?

‘No, wait.’

In an instant, the name of the CEO of Tumble Investments flashed through Director Gong’s mind.

The name of the CEO of Tumble Investment is… Eom Jun-seok.

It’s not a surname that you see very often, is it?

“Um… Jiyu.”

“Yeah?”

Wow, that almost was a big deal.

You are an investor in Dream Agency.

“Well, if you pass, please refrain from wearing excessive clothes like now.”

Somehow, it was a bit strange, was it the daughter of President Eom Jun-seok?

How could a 20-year-old high school graduate get a job at Tumble Investment?

“Oh, yes. I’ll keep that in mind!”

“You have a good posture.”

What is the reason why the daughter of the CEO of a tumble investment company applied for small and medium-sized entertainment?

An apex predator in the entertainment industry who notices more than fans.

Because she was personally visited by a noble person in a humble place.

‘If that’s the case, I’ll pass even if I curse.’

After that, interviews of applicants were formally conducted.

As the results were determined and progressed, the advantages were also revealed.

“The edited video uploaded on YouTube contains a lot of love for Solar.”

“Oh, have you seen it?”

“No. I just thought it would.”

“Yes?”

“Then, the results will be notified later.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you!”

Soon after, the applicant nodded and left the interview room.

After checking his back, he relaxed.

“Chief Park, but there should be at least one female manager in a girl group.”

“Yes? It was clear earlier…”

“How can you select talent based only on specs? It’s an outdated idea.”

“Ah…”

Family is much more important than specs.

“As expected, the manager is awake.”

“Well, it’s like that.”

“I didn’t expect you to see the potential and get hired.”

“No, not potential.”

I chose it based on my talent.

“Chief, there’s actually something I didn’t tell you on purpose.”

“?”

Team leader Park Chul-min continued the conversation by mentioning an unexpected person.

“Manager Jeong Soo-ho said that the applicant and I have been close since we were young.”

“With Um Ji-yu?”

“Yes. I heard that he lives by saying that his father’s business prospered thanks to Grandma Suho.”

“No, why are you saying that now?”

So, how big is the grandmother of manager Jeong Su-ho?

She is wealthy enough to raise a tumble investment company.

She, too, though she thought it was not normal.

‘No way… It was intelligence!?’

Producer Heo Chan-sung went downhill due to a drug case.

It is also about accurately grasping the trend of the current music market.

‘Jeong Soo-ho knew in advance!’

It was possible to suppress the cramped Korean music industry with huge capital.

At most, the market is blocked by the songs of a dozen outsourced producers.

If those producers were to produce songs of the same genre at the same time.

The genre immediately becomes a trend, becomes a trend, and sweeps the music industry.

‘Somehow, hook songs have been pouring in lately.’

It seemed like he knew where the power that raised Solar to Tier 1 came from.

In the meantime, there was a reason why he lightly stepped on Luna, who had been raised hard.

“Hmm, but why do you work for our company?”

“Yeah?”

“No, no.”

Since he was from Dream Agency, there must be a reason why he was dispatched to Q&G.

* * *

Wow, nice level for real.

Umjiyu, how did you stick?

Someone studied like a dog, graduated from Korea University, and joined Dream Agency.

“Brother, I must have done well.”

“… No way.”

Our company was serious but this was too much.

Only 20 years old, the same age as Diana.

“Isn’t there nothing to write on the application form except for the intern line?”

“No. I graduated from the art high school directing department. I did a lot of activities.”

“In high school?”

“Yes!”

Director Gong seems to have had a pretty good view of it.

Does a girl group need a female manager?

“Isn’t it possible that the YouTube direct cam worked?”

“I guess so.”

Circumstances, there is no explanation other than that.

Or, did you shamelessly sell your father’s name?

‘Ah, no.’

Our Jiu isn’t such a mean friend again.

Tumble Invest is not a direct investment company of Q&G.

“Anyway, the company will always treat you publicly.”

“Of course, senior!”

I’m not the parent, so I can’t interfere anymore.

It’s not bad to gain a lot of experience from a young age.

“I’m going to have to concurrently hold the position of fan manager and sub-manager of Solar. I’m so busy these days that I’m hectic.”

“Ohhh, good good.”

“Get up at 5 o’clock tomorrow morning and call me. I’ll tell Manager Park.”

“Chief Park?”

“The person who interviewed you.”

“Ah, tight brother.”

“…”

Do you see his muscles and say he’s bald?

I wouldn’t even dare to say such a thing in front of you.

“Anyway.”

I have a lot of schedules these days, so it’s nice to have a junior who is easy to pamper.

“I have a schedule for Solar Radio tomorrow, so move with me in the morning.”

“Oki! By the way, oppa. Solar articles are out.”

“What article.”

JiU showed a news article on her smartphone and continued.

“Top idol, actress Lee Soo-yeon is the main MC.”

“What?”

[The next-generation star of Dream Agency, who is on the lookout for a top idol MC. Actor Lee Soo-yeon’s agency is positively reviewing it…]

The only actress I worked for at Dream Agency.

Usually she rarely appears even in one-off variety shows.

“Lee Whyejin.”

I heard that DK Music Isolation joined and the board grew.

Now, she has grown to the point where even a top-notch actress has been appointed as an MC.

“Lee Soo-yeon, your brother took over at Dream Agency.”

“It is, but.”

“Did you appear because of your brother?”

“No way.”

Celebrities who were born to become top stars in the first place.

Because I’m a crap like me, I tried to make a schedule.

“He usually just does what the agency tells him to do.”

“Oh, I see.”

I was sorry that her ears were thin and her mentality was weak.

Because of me, she ate so much.

“Ah.”

A tingling sensation ran through the back of my neck.

Is it because I heard about the appearance of actor Lee Soo-yeon?

‘Top Idol, I’m a bit anxious.’

To be honest, the scale has grown ridiculously.

It wasn’t like this when I first received the casting offer.

‘Did I really make a big mistake?’

Can it satisfy viewers’ expectations?

I was worried that there would be a controversy over my skills.

I was scratching the back of my head in constant anxiety.

* * *

<Top Idol> Of Nnet Broadcasting Station

was a hot topic in various communities.

Even before we started filming, it was famous for being a 4th generation girl group battle.

In addition, it was rare to see top-class actresses appearing in variety shows.

“Suyeon-ah, are you okay now?”

“No. I still feel bad.”

“hahahaha, the reporter also apologized.”

“…”

An entertainment reporter said, “Top Idol”

The situation was attributed to Solar.

The participation of Isolation, which was delayed in the order of appearing in music rooms, was the beginning.

“If this is the case, then I’m also appearing because of Solar!”

“That’s too much of a victim mentality…”

“What?”

“No, just like that.”

Dream Agency actively promoted Suyeon’s appearance.

It seems that the broadcasting station offered it on pretty good terms.

“How did Solar rise like this?”

“Hmm… Isn’t it thanks to the PR manager?”

“Who?”

“Head Miyoung Hong, you were at Dream Agency until recently.”

“Oh, has he been assigned to Q&G?”

“Yes. It’s been quite a while.”

“Yes?”

Soon after, a strange sense of relief settled in Lee Soo-yeon’s heart.

Should I say I’m glad I found a reason other than Jung Soo-ho?

“Ha ha, somehow. Me again.”

“Team Manager Hong’s promotions are amazing.”

“Right. It’s incredible.”

I think it would be too unfair if Solar rose thanks to Jeong Su-ho.

Because under the same circumstances her own works always get blown up.

“Your brother knows how bad the luck is for the work that Jeong Su-ho chose, right?”

“Huh? Say something again?”

“Did I tell you the other day that the director hit the cops while driving drunk?”

“… I’ve only said it twenty-three times yet.”

“Then I’ll tell you the 24th time, so listen.”

“Ah.”

Soon after, the manager noticed and changed the subject in a hurry.

“You know what? I heard that Solar Top Idol’s appearance this time was the decision of manager Jung Soo-ho.”

“Oh, really? Really?”

“Yeah. I heard they shouted in front of Q&G executives.”

“So it is.”

Yes, this is Jeongsu Lake.

The ability to kick shitballs alone is still the same.

“They say that Solar’s ​​main vocal has a weak high pitch.”

“Some say that being on a survival show is a mistake.”

“Therefore.”

If the icon of bad luck had this level, he would not have used up all his luck for the rest of his life.

‘Now it’s time for ruin.’

It’s not fair that Solar floats so easily.

Someone recovered their career by rolling over like a dog.

“Eh, what should we do because our Solar friends are pitiful?”

“It’s not a pitiful expression at all…”

“Enough. Give me the synopsis.”

“Uh, yes.”

The synopsis was full of interesting ideas written by the writers.

Even, dissing was possible with rap and there was time for mic work.

‘… Provocation possible?’

It’s ridiculous.

How weak are the trainees in girl groups these days.

I’m not an idiot, someone give me a bad angle on the air.

I don’t know if there is anyone who has some kind of anger management disorder.

“Solar, Isolation, K-Dolls, B-Girls…”

Suyeon recited the four teams in the synopsis that were strong candidates for the championship.

“Wow, seeing them all on one screen.”

“I heard that 4th generation girl groups are a bit famous these days.”

“Therefore.”

The protagonists who will lead the heyday of the new girl group era.

Among them, Solar’s profile was particularly eye-catching.

“Did you see the fancam posted on Solar Youtube? The number of views was no joke. hahahaha.”

“… Oppa, isn’t he busy these days?”

“Huh? Bar, you’re busy.”

The first contest with the entire cast, eight teams divided into four pairs.

It was a mission to arrange the debut song and produce the stage for the members themselves.

“It would be very advantageous to have a friend who can produce.”

“Probably almost chewed it up.”

“I don’t even want that much.”

“Yeah…”

Are there one or two idols who claim to be producing or composing music?

Among them, the truly talented friends could be counted on one hand.

“There are very few rookies these days.”

“That’s normal.”

Why would a friend like that appear on Top Idol?

If it was a rookie girl group, they would be busy building their careers.

“Let’s see it somewhere.”

He knew better than anyone else about the heavenly gift of Jung Soo-ho’s poop.

It sounds like you’re proud of having had some success.

<Top Idol>

Wasn’t the appearance a bunch?
