chapter 34
[34] Genius (1)
The urinal villain-, no, college juniors.
PD Kim Ji-hoon seems to have been targeting me from the beginning.
What’s the point of a director who hasn’t even been hired yet to come to the awards ceremony?
“Senior, Shin So-mi is a genius genius!”
“Oh, be quiet.”
“I think this must appear unconditionally!”
“Oh, wow! It’s splashing water.”
Shoot ah-
Even when I washed my hands in the bathroom and wiped my hands with tissue paper, I was annoyed.
“Yes, junior.”
“Aigo senior. Please speak comfortably.”
“… Then.”
First of all, since I’m a junior in school, I should be able to talk comfortably.
“I read the synopsis.”
“Isn’t it fun!?”
“…”
People who are good at puzzles and math would like it.
Personally, I would have just thrown it away.
“Honestly, it’s a burden for a famous celebrity to go out.”
“Whoa, there are very few cases where you lose money by taking care of your genius image.”
“Well.”
That’s the story of Somi when she was a genius.
Financial industry workers, first-class engineering or overseas universities, even medical students.
Can middle school play an active role against grown adults?
“Why do you need Somi?”
“I didn’t mean to tell you.”
“Then don’t tell me.”
“… I want to tell you.”
“Then tell me.”
PD Kim scratched his cheek and continued the conversation.
“Do you remember the age range of the performer you just cast?”
“Ah, I’ve gathered them evenly.”
20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s.
“I couldn’t find a single person, both celebrities and non-celebrities.”
“That’s right, there are no teenagers.”
“But when I saw Somi solve puzzles in Top Idol, I got the feeling!”
“Yes?”
I don’t like the feeling, but the touch sends a signal that itches.
Soon, he scratched the tickling back of his head and continued talking.
“Then what are the conditions?”
“Yeah?”
“They’re the kids who get 3,000 at a college event. You know.”
“Ah… Hmm,hahahaha.”
“Uther?”
His kkondae power exploded in front of a school junior he hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Senior, would you like a cup of coffee?”
“Oki, minus the sugar.”
“Yeah!”
In fact, I was well aware of the level of entertainment fees.
<Top Idol>
Even though he appeared on the show for a small amount of money.
The rise in awareness could not be calculated with money.
“Here, I took out the sugar. Senior.”
“Yes.”
We continued our conversation over coffee from the vending machine.
“Is this your debut work?”
“Yes. Senior, please help me just once!”
“Hmm, if Somi appears, the entertainment director will like it?”
“Oh wow, I’ll treat you like a princess. Really!”
“Yes?”
In fact, the correct answer was already decided from the point of view of moving with the touch.
‘I have to go.’
Somi is also a gifted child, and she often shows off her genius.
There are probably real geniuses among the performers.
Monsters that solve difficult puzzle problems in 3 seconds.
It wasn’t a business that would lose money even if you listened to the middle among such people.
“Although it’s time for Somi to set up her personal schedule.”
“Ohhh, then…!”
“I’ll accept the terms and conditions.”
“Ah.”
Where in the world is Kkonjja?
I also have to eat and live.
“My kids, organize a reality variety show.”
“Yeah?”
“It’s almost time to shoot. The fans said they wanted it a lot during the fan meeting.”
“… At Tvm?”
“Difficult?”
“That, that, rather than being difficult…”
“I have to tidy that up.”
Girl group reality entertainment.
Indeed, it is a broadcast with low ratings that only viewers can see.
It is difficult for even popular girl groups to be organized on major cable channels.
“I’ll tell the director.”
“Okay. I’ll confirm Somi’s appearance after hearing the entertainment director’s answer.”
“Ahhh.”
I patted PD Kim Ji-hoon’s shoulder and got up.
“Junior, then I’ll wait for your call!”
“Senpai, I’m the youngest on our team!”
“I’m the youngest too.”
It’s been several months since I worked at the Q&G label.
* * *
Next day.
I checked the article about Baeksang Arts Awards and Solar.
《Top idol tore apart the awards ceremony! A girl group that attracts actors, Solar…
In the article, a photo of Yang Joo-hee was hung on the main page.
“Yes. Torn tore.”
I tore the hem of my dress just because it was uncomfortable.
As part of the stage performance, I wrapped it up and hung a picture.
“If you just put it on your nose, it’s a nose ring.”
Isolation, wearing an almost identical dress, was lightly buried.
Solar’s performance on stage was overwhelming.
“Manager!”
Just then, Yeji knocked on the window outside the van.
Then, she opened the passenger side door and sat down.
“What are you doing, get in the back.”
“I’ll just ride next to you today.”
“Because I’ll ride in the back.”
“Manager, have you seen the Sunshine chart today!?”
“Ah.”
I guess it came up today.
“Didn’t you see…?”
“I saw it. It wasn’t a joke.”
“Right!?”
I’d probably go up to level 30.
Because topicality is already the best.
“Let’s continue to hit and climb like that.”
“Yes! But the top 10 is too burdensome.”
“?”
Helped me how far did you go
This is why the call to the public relations is pouring in.
“The manager expected it, of course. I thought I was going to have a heart attack.”
“…”
No I didn’t know
“Don’t be pressured, just keep doing it.”
“Yeah!”
Actually, I am more burdened.
“… But the other kids aren’t coming down?”
“I’m preparing now.”
“Come soon.”
“How was our performance yesterday?”
“Yesterday’s stage.”
“Yeah!”
The stage at the awards ceremony was carried by Yeji without a doubt.
Is it easy to change the singing method in a short period of time?
I saw the effect of the Queen’s direct teaching.
‘… What a dog.’
Wisdom It was written in her eyes to compliment her.
“You did very well. You improved a lot.”
“Really?”
“Well done, and today’s web drama filming will be followed by JiU.”
“In addition…?”
“Yes?”
“No, no.”
In fact, she lacked a lot of basic skills when acting.
It’s not long before the release of the web drama is over.
“Yeji, even if you have a busy schedule, don’t miss acting classes.”
“…Do you have a lot of acting skills?”
“It’s not like that.”
“I will work hard.”
Maybe I’m being too harsh on the leader.
I have the most schedule, but training is also busy.
“Still…”
Yeji sighed softly.
“If the manager approves.”
“Yes?”
“I can work harder.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Yes!”
Soon after, the other members boarded the van one by one.
As soon as Eunseo got into the van, she was the first to speak.
“Manager, why aren’t we having an after party?”
“… You are now an actress too.”
“Actresses are people too.”
“Actresses are not people. They are legendary Pokemon.”
“Ah.”
I handed Eunseo the script for episode 1 and continued the conversation.
“Marrying into a conglomerate, episode 1 script.”
“Oh, already?”
“It’s already too late.”
“Please.”
Because I was too busy preparing for the awards ceremony.
“Do you know when the jacket shoot is?”
“I know.”
“Memorize it until the script reading and have it tested by me.”
“Yeah.”
Rumble-
I immediately started the engine and grabbed the steering wheel.
“Let’s go to the practice room first.”
“Yes!”
I shifted my gaze and looked at Somi in the rearview mirror.
It would be better not to talk about entertainment yet.
After a while, the Q&G label office building.
I took the members to the practice room and moved to the office.
I’m organizing my schedule for this week and working on paperwork.
“Jung Soo-ho, are you busy?”
Just then, I heard the manager’s voice from behind.
“No. I’m not very busy.”
“Shall we smoke a cigarette on the roof?”
“Yes. Chief.”
Soon after, team leader Park handed me wooden chopsticks and took out a cigarette.
“Don’t smell cigarettes in front of the kids.”
“Yeah?”
The manager said to smoke first.
“Huh? I’m out of cigarettes.”
“I’m a mast too.”
“…Then I won’t smoke.”
“Aww, you do it.”
“Yeah?”
Isn’t giving a mast a deep friendship?
I didn’t even give it to my comrades in the army.
“You’re doing a good job.”
“Thank you. hahahaha.”
Team Leader Park sighed as he took out an e-cigarette.
“hahahaha, I quit smoking.”
“…Usually I use e-cigarettes to quit smoking.”
“Anyway.”
We smoked cigarettes and continued our conversation.
“Director Gam Seok-tae crossed the line.”
“The color of the dress?”
“Yeah, I knew.”
“…”
In fact, there’s no doubt about it other than that.
Because the information inside has escaped to the outside.
“Are you just passing?”
“Well. What kind of power do I have?”
“Hmm.”
The power looks great.
Why did you grow your muscles?
“As long as there is a line for managing director Kwon at the head office, I can’t touch him yet.”
“Not yet?”
“You won’t know later. It’s a fact that Division 1’s performance has been sluggish recently.”
“Yes.”
Apparently, Dream Agency pays more for actors.
If only Yeji and Eunseo could be raised as Lee Soo-yeon level actresses.
“Just do what you do now.”
“Yes. Chief.”
If it rises to the level of stealing the rice bowls of the actors in Kwon’s line.
‘Then…’
Maybe I can go back to the company I was originally at.
Of course, I’ll have to think about whether I should go back.
* * *
Tvm broadcasting station, entertainment director’s office.
A man listened to music that hit the Watermelon chart.
Solar’s new song <Sunshine>
It flowed out softly.
-You came to me like warm sunlight.
Powerful singing with emotional beats.
“Wow, top 10 in one day.”
For idol music without a music video to reach the top of the charts.
The solid fan base demanded even considerable musicality from the basics.

Knock, Knock-
Just then, someone knocked outside the door.
“Yes. Come in.”
The youngest director who is about to debut soon.
PD Kim Ji-hoon opened the door and came in.
“Oh, how did the casting for Somi go?”
“I-that’s…”
“What is it, manager Jeong Su-ho and college alumni?”
“Ah, yes. I do.”
I just saw it.
It’s disrespectful to make friends with someone you’re not close with.
We should get some solar coins too, everyone is scrambling to recruit them.
“Go and get down on your knees.”
“If that was the case, I would have knelt down 100 more times.”
“It’s open, it’s open.”
“I heard that you would think about it if you organize a solar reality variety show?”
“Reality?”
“Yeah.”
Frankly, it wasn’t an easy decision.
Can I empty it late at night?
“However…”
Then, what will she do if Somi is eliminated from her first broadcast?
On the contrary, fans may come and eat only to curse.
“If So-mi survives to episode 5 out of 10 contestants.”
“Yeah?”
“We have to bet that much condition.”
“…”
That’s why you can’t do a master job.
It’s over when non-celebrities expose it on social media.
“Can Somi survive to the middle?”
“Well.”
To be honest, there was a very high chance that Somi would be eliminated in the first broadcast.
Because she is an idol in the jungle, no contestant will consider her.
‘I’m a middle school student…’
The director of entertainment checked Shin So-mi’s profile received from producer Kim.
Scored 100 in math and science and average in all other subjects.
“This is the profile that manager Um Ji-yu gave me.”
“Yes. Director.”
“Mathematics Olympiad? What is this?”
“Oh, I heard that it’s only for entry and she can’t go because of her schedule.”
“Yes?”
“Yes. It will be difficult to parallel with the trainee life.”
“It’s difficult.”
The math problems are more difficult than the trainee life.
I don’t know if I can solve even one problem if I try.
“Thank you so much if Somi survives until episode 5.”
“I’ll contact you at once.”
“If you survive, try coaxing them into organizing Solar Reality.”
“Ha, I see.”
Minor entertainment that only fans watch, girl group reality.
Honestly, it’s not a show that Tvm can organize.
“I’m going crazy because I want to organize it too.”
“…You don’t look like that, do you?”
“You never know.”
Somi might be able to play an active part in “Escape Room Maze”.
Viewers will think of you as a member of a folding screen girl group.
‘If only I could show you a cool image…’
You could edit it with Genius on the air.
“Okay, what do I expect from a middle school student?”
“Yeah?”
“What are you doing when you don’t go out?”
“Ah, yes.”
The director of entertainment looked at PD Kim’s back with a smile.

After a while,
Yeji’s first web drama that fans have been waiting for.
Pinocchio Studio released 「My Double Life」.
《[My Double Life Ep.
-4 hours ago
-470,000 views
-70,000 likes, 100,000 dislikes
– 8 thousand comments
A work that well reveals the emotional direction and Yeji’s beauty.
The lines are good, and it’s nice that the acting isn’t too much.
“… Who came up with the title?”
Not only in this world, but in real life as well.
“Are you ignoring our predictions?”
“Yes?”
“No, nothing.”
“Lol.”
I patted Yeji on the shoulder and checked her smartphone again.
A web drama that became the best video as soon as it was uploaded today.
Looking at the comments <sunlight>
It seemed that the coordinates were stamped on .
-Yeji, I love you
b22222
The high notes were crazy at the award ceremony ㅠㅠ
Could it be that he hid his strength?
He says he still practices 10 hours a day.
Is your schedule busy too?
The company is too
-Yeji can handle acting at the last stage
The acting is crazy on the inside
ㄴHonestly, I thought it was a dead end drama when I saw the writer.
ㄴI’m sick of emotional acting
bSolar is a legend
ㄴWhat should I do to marry Yeji noona? (Seriously)
be born again
I slowly turned around and looked around the practice room.
“Yeji, I haven’t seen Diana since a while ago.”
“Oh, the recording studio now.”
“Yes?”
“Yes. I’m working on a song for the queen.”
“Are you with Shia?”
“… Do you call Ryusia unni?”
“Yeah. We decided to let go a while ago.”
“Hmm.”
“What is it? Why are you like this?”
“No.”
Group activities have now entered a lull to some extent.
‘We have to organize individual activities one by one.’
Yang Joo-hee eats protein powder while watching from the corner.
Jang Ee-seo practices acting diligently for the script reading.
“Somi is…”
A person diligently solving school homework alone in the corner.
Jihoon Kim said he would call me around today.
Belt-
At that time, a message from Jihoon.
Even the tiger comes when I say it.
[Senior, do you have a good time?]
As soon as I checked the talk, I immediately called and checked the progress.
-Hello, senior Jeong Soo-ho?
“Oh, Jihoon-ah.”
-Senior, organizing a reality variety show.
“How are you?”
-If Somi survives until episode 5, I think she will be able to get organized.
“… What conditions are you talking about?”
-What if she gets eliminated after just one episode?
“…”
Honestly, I can understand it, but I think it’s possible up to episode 5.
Isn’t it just going out and being embarrassed?
‘…The back of the head tickles.’
After all, I was going to go out with “Escape Room Maze” Without any conditions.
“Okay, Cole!”
-Oh oh…! Really? Really!?
“Yes.”
This is why celebrities have to open up and watch.
<Top Idol>
If it was before filming .
‘Rather, this side should ask for casting.’
It’s unconditionally profitable to appear on a cable TV program like TVM on a regular basis.
“Then I’ll set up a meeting with the manager.”
-Yep. Senior, thank you!
“What is gratitude?”
I’m more grateful
pop.
As soon as I hung up the phone, Yeji asked me.
“Are we filming a reality show?”
“I’m still planning.”
Usually, reality entertainment is a fan service concept.
If it’s not tvm, you can upload it on you tube.
“Wow, we went on overseas trips and ate delicious food!!!”
“I didn’t say it was an overseas trip.”
“Anyway!”
Just then, Somi, who had spotted her prey from afar, wandered over.
“Are we going out on variety shows?”
“That’s right.”
But there are things I need to film before reality shows.
“You will also film a personal variety show.”
“Me? Only me!?”
“Yes. Escape room maze, brain entertainment.”
“Ohhh…!”
“I can do it…”
“I’m going to brag to my sister!!!!”
“…”
Somi immediately opened the door and ran to the recording studio.
“Are Somi and Diana close friends?”
“Yes. The two of us are the youngest, so we share a room.”
“Hey, clear your seat and go.”
“I’ll clean it up.”
“No, I do.”
Soon after, I picked up the workbook that Somi had been working hard on by herself.
“…Wasn’t that homework?”
I also taught math tutoring at one time, but this is too difficult.
A collection of problems from the Math Olympiad, which I canceled a while ago.
I wrote down the minimum handwriting and roughly scribbled out the numbers.
“Where is the answer?”
Why don’t you bring the answer sheet with you when you solve the problem book?
If all of these are correct answers.
“Maybe this…”
It could even go up to 5.
