chapter 24
[24] Actress (1)
I didn’t believe in divination or shamans from a young age.
Even though her paternal grandmother was working there.
I paid the price for it, and now I realize it clearly.
“Chief, do you believe in science?”
“What bullshit.”
Even if I don’t believe in superstition, I do believe in science.
I just read the script, but I got a call.
“Just quit this audition.”
“…”
An SBC drama in which Lee Soo-yeon could appear in the lead role.
He held up the script for 「International Lawyer Mr. Kim」 And spoke with enthusiasm.
“That’s an audition opportunity that the general manager brought with difficulty.”
“Because I’m supposed to see you later.”
“Can you tell me?”
“No. I’ll tell you that the team leader said it wasn’t good.”
“What, man?”
Maybe it was just a nominal audition, it could have been a guarantee of passing.
Even so, giving up is a really difficult decision.
“I’ll try to find another work.”
“Ha, I don’t know.”
Soon, team leader Park Chul-min brought a pile of documents from his seat.
Seeing the amount, I wondered if I would be able to read it all morning.
“The script and synopsis that have come before Solar so far.”
“Well, I’m not kidding.”
“Right? Read it once.”
“…”
Bus riders who want to jump on the bandwagon of Solar members’ popularity.
Are these roughly piled up works any nutritious?
“Hmm.”
I roughly picked up the above work and read it slowly.
“What, there was also entertainment.”
Not only the drama script, but also prepared various things.
It’s an entertainment program where you use your brain to escape a room.
‘Let’s think about this later.’
Anyway <Top Idol>
More will come when it’s over.
If you think about it slowly then, it is never too late.
Sigh-
Meanwhile,
I hesitated while reading the synopsis of a web drama.
A tingling sensation ran through the back of my head.
“Web drama…Is this right?”
The script appealed to me by pinpointing Yeji and wanting to be cast.
I didn’t like it because the ‘level’ was too low for me to accept it.
Maybe it’s because I have prejudice, the script is a bit childish.
Youtube channel with 500,000 subscribers.
Is it right to appear here?
“… Keep it for now.”
Afterwards, I looked at other scripts and found a work that suited Eunseo.
‘I’m not really craving something.’
The moment I was spending time checking the script all morning.
After seeing one piece, a familiar sense tickled the back of my neck.
JTBS broadcasting station 「A conglomerate family getting married」.
A melodrama with an open audition in about a week.
It was a role that seemed to fit the image of Eun-seo, who looked bubbly.
The male protagonist’s younger sister.
It was a sub-leader level.
“Oh, but…”
I don’t think it will be easy because the competition is so huge.
First of all, since it’s an open audition, there must be a lot of regular participants.
‘What if it falls?’
Do popular girl group members have to audition?
If you kick off the table that is all set and go out, you fall.
‘… Acting must be too difficult.’
It’s a conglomerate, but it’s a three-dimensional character that cosplays as a commoner.
Will Eunseo be able to play the part-time chaebol woman?
She’s a conglomerate who only earns one hour’s wage and drives Porsche.
In real life, there’s no way this kind of person exists.
‘Well, I can’t help it.’
An itch creeping up from the back of the head.
She had the power to keep going even if she didn’t want to go.
“Keep this too.”
At that time, team leader Park Cheol-min called me from behind.
“Suho, isn’t it time to go to the headquarters office?”
“Oh, yes. I was going!”
“Go quickly. Be late.”
“Yeah!”
I glanced at the script for the JTBS audition and stood up.
Because the legal drama and the audition date overlapped exactly.
‘I have to give up on one.’
* * *
What kind of life does the management of a good company live?
At one time, Kwon Seok-dong, head of the 2nd headquarters, only had one bottle of soju.
However, the more you eat, the more you gain weight, isn’t it alcohol and belly fat?
“Oh hangover… I’m going to die. Really.”
The bigger Solar is, the happier she is, but her liver suffers.
Yesterday, the representative called and gave me encouragement.
“Oh, but I can’t eat Yangju.”
Belt-
Again, the head of Gongsewon sent a schedule message.
[I’m having a drink with the entertainment director of Nnet]
[It is 10 o’clock tonight]
“… In addition?”
I ate the day before yesterday, but since we won first place, I will eat again.
If your appointment is at 10pm, you will run all night.
“Whoa…”
The direct subordinate is the president’s parachute, the bottom is the hell-changing, and the crazy genius manager is the bottom.
I can’t complain because I don’t have any subordinates I can deal with comfortably.
“Still, the results are good.”
In the meantime, how bad was the unlucky head of the 1st headquarters?
Showing off his t-kick every time was so eye-watering.

Knock, Knock-
At that time, the manager who called in the morning knocked on the office door.
“Hmmm, come in.”
Manager Jung Soo-ho, who is working hard these days.
I called because of an ad that came in in the morning.
“Chief, did you call?”
“… I got an ad. Killing it.”
“Oh, ionic drinks? Cosmetics?”
“Soju.”
“Aha.”
<Top Idol>
Rumors that she ripped ” as a Girl Crush stage went around the broadcasting houses.
‘If I go on air, I’ll rise in popularity again.’
I wish this person would rest for just one week.
Then, will there be no drinking appointments for the time being?
“Since Solar is doing well, it’s very easy.”
“Yeah?”
“No, don’t go, I feel good.”
“Yes. Thank you!”
“You don’t even take a vacation? You work too hard.”
“No, thanks.”
It’s because I’m not okay.
“Rather than that, Chief.”
“Uh, yes.”
“SBC International Lawyer Mr. Kim, I got an audition.”
“…Why?”
Recently, it was difficult to find an audition position.
I was invited to several drinking parties to get that opportunity.
How difficult it is to get into the work of a star writer.
“There is an audition at JTBS on the same day.”
“Are you going to give up on SBC?”
“… That sounds good.”
“Do you know what it means to give up this audition?”
“Yes. I know.”
It means that hard-drinking alcohol becomes a useless sunk cost.
“Whoa, do whatever you want. Your choice was always the right one.”
“… Sorry.”
“Nothing to apologize for.”
By the way, does it mean that the genius’s eyes saw flaws?
It was a pretty good script on the surface, but is there a problem?
‘Whoa, now I have to make a drink appointment with the director of JTBS.’
Director Kwon Seok-dong stared at Suho intently.
The more the liver is damaged, the higher the performance.
Young people say this is a funny situation.
* * *
Mistress, you just made excuses for Team Leader Park.
You said you were giving up the audition you’ve been working hard on.
‘His eyes are very simple.’
Come to think of it, I think you’ve been waiting for it since the other day.
When I sang it as Majidis, I got over it thanks to the red wine.
‘Whoa, social life is difficult.’
I should give you a bottle of wine as a gift next time.
At first glance, it seemed that he was obsessed with alcohol.
Drooling-
I opened the door to the practice room and checked the members divided into two teams.
<Top Idol>
Team A preparing for the third and final contest of
Team B preparing for an audition for the SBC drama 「International Lawyer Mr. Kim」.
“Is the manager here?”
He always received polite greetings from Yeji and called the members together.
“Guys, gather around!”
“Yes!”
After rejecting miscellaneous advertisements, this was the first advertisement that finally came in.
An innocent yet sexy image.
Solar did that difficult thing.
“Your ad came in.”
“Oh wow, great!”
A commercial for soju that says only the top-notch girl groups in the industry will be filmed.
However, Somi, whom she was most delighted with, was an exception.
“But Somi can’t appear. Only the other four.”
“Oh, where is that!”
“It’s a soju advertisement.”
“Whoa.”
Eunseo, who had been amused by the word advertisement, raised her eyes wide.
“Then will you drink a lot that day?”
“…Would you like to eat?”
“Ah.”
Of course, you drink water like soju.
“It’s good.”
What kind of life did our Eunseo lead?
Originally, when living is hard, alcohol comes to mind first.
“Let’s drink less.”
“Yeah~”
Soon, Somi pouted and was squatting in the corner.
But that doesn’t mean that minors can’t film commercials for soju.
“My manager oppa only hates me.”
“Somi, I’ll at least look into entertainment.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Among the variety shows that came in recently, there were several good works.
<Top Idol>
The puzzle solving in the first room came out well too.
‘Room escape entertainment.’
Suddenly, an entertainment program I watched in the morning came to mind.
Wouldn’t Somi be able to show her charm there?
“I’ll try to tickle the back of your head as I go around the meeting.”
“Back of the head?”
“It roughly means that it feels good.”
“I know.”
“Instead, you carry the top idol’s final stage.”
“Okay, Cole!”
Because Yeji was missing, the role of sub vocalist Somi was important.
First of all, if you look at the treble alone, she was rather higher than Wisdom.
Somi always ranks in the middle in her trainer’s evaluation.
Out of 9 trainees including Luna, she was in 5th place.
Out of her five solo members, she only managed to rank third.
‘Perhaps on purpose…’
Her bloody smile leaked out as she fantasized about nonsense.
Sigh-
I rummaged through my bag and pulled out the script I had brought with me earlier.
JTBS broadcasting melodrama 「Marrying into a conglomerate family」.
“Eunseo, take this.”
“What?”
“Practice with this from now on.”
“…The audition date overlaps.”
“That’s right.”
Eunseo nodded and accepted the script.
“Do you think this work will come out?”
“Right. But it’s an open audition, so you have to compete with regular contestants.”
“Then you have to work hard to stick with it.”
“Are you okay?”
“Absolutely.”
In fact, no one could be sure that this would happen.
It’s just the one thing I felt.
Still, the members believed in me.
“Hey, manager.”
“Yes. Yeji.”
“Me?”
Anyway, he’s Solar’s leader.
Sorry for recommending a web drama.
“Is that the script I’m holding in my hand?”
“Huh? Ah, that’s…”
“Give me.”
Yeji took the script of the web drama in my hand and began to read it slowly.
The most popular main vocalist in Solar.
If the fans knew, billions of dollars would collapse.
“Yeji, I’m just going to do something else…”
“Is it fun?”
“Yes?”
“It’s what the manager chose. It’s really fun!”
“…”
I’m not funny
“I’m going to do this!”
“A web drama, will it be okay?”
“Of course.”
Only 500,000 you tube channel owners have been saved.
Sooner or later, we will hit 1 million subscribers.
* * *
SBC station meeting room.
Lee Soo-yeon entered the broadcasting station with a Dream Agency employee.
It was a visit to sign a contract for the legal drama 「International Lawyer Mr. Kim」.
I don’t know how many visits this is.
Now it’s time to start painting.
“Chief, if it’s at this level, let’s just go.”
“No, I have to upload it this time.”
“…”
She said that she would raise the ransom, but she couldn’t even be annoyed.
Certainly, <Top Idol>
The effect was great.
Because the guarantee was noticeably different.
‘When this drama is over, I’ll go to the movies too…’
Just when I was imagining happiness, the head of the department spoke to me again.
“Soo Yeon-ah, I’m talking about Manager Jung Soo-ho.”
“Manager Jeong Soo-ho? Why?”
“He said he gave up appearing in the drama.”
“Huh? I heard you got an audition.”
“It was.”
Closed audition opportunities for SBC dramas.
If I didn’t limp my lines, I would have passed.
Of course, I expected that they would appear together.
I didn’t feel sorry for the Solar members, so I thought to treat them well.
Together <Top Idol>
I was kind of attached to it while appearing in ”.
“Because it’s a courtroom piece, acting may have been too difficult.”
“Well. You know what’s more bizarre?”
“… What is it?”
“They said they were going to JTBS open auditions. I heard from Q&G staff.”
“Is the conglomerate getting married?”
“Uh. Come to think of it, it also came to us.”
“…”
To give up a closed audition and go to an open audition.
If it was Jung Soo-ho from before, I would have teased him for being a dung-chok.
Drooling-
At that time, an employee from the SBC station appeared when he said hello.
“Oh, is actress Lee Soo-yeon here?”
“Ah yes.”
“If I had known you would come like this, I would have seen you in a better place.”
“No. It’s fine.”
Soo-yeon gave a rough answer, thinking of manager Jeong Soo-ho.
A discerning eye for developing Solar’s skills or choosing a song.
I couldn’t even compare it to my time at Dream Agency.
‘And even Luna…’
Producer Seo Tae-seong and choreographer Redwine praised it too.
Because the results of the stage that even experts couldn’t predict were all right.
“Now, if these conditions are enough, you will be satisfied, right?”
“Oh, will you raise the fee like this?”
“Sure. Actress Lee Soo-yeon came in person.”
hahahaha. Today’s contract…”
Someone in my ear said, ‘Suyeon, are you fooling me again?’ It seemed to whisper.
Right before the manager signs the contract.
Soo-yeon opened her mouth in an urgent tone.
“Now, wait!”
I thought he’d corrected his dependence on others.
Severe selection disorder.
Once again the disease has healed.
“Hey, in order to meet the schedule, you must sign this time…”
“Really sorry.”
I wanted to postpone the meeting just one more time.
Because I don’t want to regret it again.
Soon, as soon as Suyeon left her meeting room, she picked up her smartphone.
‘Jeong Soo-ho…’
Always ignoring him, he was conscious of his skills.
<Top Idol>
Even during filming, we barely made eye contact.
Why would you want to ask his thoughts at this important moment?
Trururu—
A ringing sound came from Soo-yeon’s phone.
“… Have you been blocked?”
Oh I blocked it
