entertainment selection
“What do you think?”
“The structure of each house is quite different.”
I came to see the house for sale next door, and the structure was quite different from Son Jin-wook’s house.
“Since this is the top floor, if you practice acting on the second floor of this house, you won’t have to worry about noise at all.”
“It’s good. It’s good that you contacted hyung as well. I’ll do it here.”
The representative of a certified brokerage, who was watching from behind, approached with his eyes shining.
“As expected, the actors’ eyes are excellent. Would you like to sign a contract with this house?”
“Yes, please come to this house.”
“Then I will take care of all the other minor chores as instructed.”
A man who smiles and bows his head politely.
Indeed, the person Jinwook Son introduced was different from a typical real estate agent.
As someone who mainly deals with celebrities or politicians who value privacy, all she had to do was look at the house and decide if she liked it.
A man who handles things like contracts and acquisition tax, and even takes over the moving process, so that he gets things done neatly.
A few days later, after receiving the payment for “Sketch” and paying the remaining balance, the brokerage company did everything from cleaning to arranging matching furniture so that you could move in immediately.
“Is this the power of money?”
The day after the move was completed, Yeon-woo opened the door and entered the new house and nodded his head.
I’ve moved dozens of times, not only when I was living in Korea, but also when I was abroad.
‘It was rather comfortable to live in a fixed safe house.’
If it is judged that there is surveillance after entering the country, they cannot enter a safe house, and they often rent a place to live for a short time like normal international students or business people, so they knew the hustle and bustle of the moving process better than anyone else.
“Still, it’s the first time I’ve moved so comfortably.”
Yeon-woo passed the modernly decorated living room and climbed the stairs.
The first place to check before the master bedroom is the acting practice room installed on the second floor.
It was rare to see something and think that I was envious, but when I saw the acting practice room installed in Son Jin-wook’s house, I was honestly envious.
Upon entering through the transparent door, there was a sound-absorbing wall and in front of it, a white horizontal zone that could only be seen in a studio was installed.
And video equipment that can be easily recorded and field monitors seen in the field.
“Perfect.”
With this kind of equipment, after practicing acting, it seemed like it could be easily checked again in real time.
With a satisfied smile, the door opened and Yeon-woo, who came out of the practice room, went downstairs.
After looking around the house that will be her new home, Yeon-woo sits on the sofa and scans her smartphone.
“Hmm, even if it’s not a grand housewarming, I’ll have to invite my family and friends.”
Come to think of it, I had never invited anyone to my house in my previous life.
“Well, of course. The residence was a secret.”

“P.D. Kim. How did you go?”
“Oh, manager. We’ve already put in a lot of requests. Not only us, but other broadcasters are all looking for them, but they’re not appearing anywhere right now.”
“Hey, what makes a young guy so expensive? At this point, you’re blaming your agency. Where is it? Was it LN Entertainment? If you don’t want to play with this Han Young-hoon in the industry, ask Ryu Yeon-woo to appear once.”
After hearing the words of the manager, Kim sighed deeply.
A manager who was angry in front of his eyes was the problem.
It’s funny to know celebrities because I started my PD life from a time when airwaves were holding the industry tight.
Team leader Kim sighed at the thought that such a person could soon become the director of the entertainment bureau.
“These days, as OTT services and internet platforms are popular, our influence has decreased a lot. If we did that, we would snort.
“Dude. It means you have to push it that hard. It’s meaningless unless it’s your first appearance.”
Even if Ryu Yeon-woo was cast, it wasn’t really her first appearance.
After finishing “Summer Wardrobe”, I started filming a variety show.
Since “Sketch” was a huge hit, JNBC’s sub-channel has been re-broadcasting “Summer’s Table”, which was conducted as a follow-up entertainment, with regular programming and reruns.
In fact, it is becoming an annual event. Last year, when “Master Plan” and “Star Beyond the Clouds” were successful, the dramas and entertainment programs in which Ryu appeared were reorganized just like now.
“Summer Wardrobe” and “Summer Table” aired with the appearances of ‘Ahn Jun-ho’, who was dishonorably suspended for being involved in a drug case, and was broadcast.

Nevertheless, at that time, the lead actors Son Jin-wook and Han So-hyun had a name value, and when Ryu Yeon-woo, who played the third role, grew into a named actor, it was natural that the ratings would come out despite the reorganization.
The situation of other broadcasters was no different.
May is a month where there are many holidays and it is the month of the family, so it is a month where ratings are hard to escape despite organizing various special features.
If you cast a big fish called Ryu Yeon-woo at such a timing, any entertainment can guarantee viewer ratings, so it was natural to turn on the lights and rush into the recruitment war.
It was not only the broadcasters who wanted Ryu Yeon-woo’s activities outside of his work, but also the fans.
– Barking dog (dancin***): Yeonwoo hyung! Please do only one schedule. Dukjil also needs feed
└ Jiyeon YeWoos(dPwlxx3***) : My brother must be busy studying after returning to university, so please be patient.
└ Samdo naval commander (leesoons***): Even that university is Korea University.
└ Just real key (fdzzfdz***) : ㄹㅇㅋ
– Being an early member of Woods (wkdwod***) When you think about it, our actor worked really hard. In the third year of his debut, he made four works, all of which were successful. Isn’t this crazy level?
└ Speedwagon (sppee***): The total of entertainment and cameos is 6 pieces.
Meanwhile, while looking around the house and unpacking a few bags, Yeonwoo’s smartphone rang.
“Yes, chief.”
– Oh, Mr. Yeonwoo. Are you at school?
“No. I finished class today. I was just unpacking.”
– okay. I heard that you moved. Congratulations.
At the voice of team leader Jeong-hyeok heard over the handset, Yeon-woo looked around with a grin.
It is definitely a luxurious house that I have never had in my previous life.
“Thank you. Thanks to your hard work, I have achieved my dream of owning a house.”
– Oh, nothing special. It’s no different, I contacted you because of the additional shooting of Leehan Technology’s advertisement that I mentioned last time.
“Ah, I said we were going to release a new version to coincide with the month of Patriotism and Veterans Affairs. I remember.”
– So, while we were filming for a commercial, I wanted to do just one other schedule. As much as possible towards the entertainment industry.
Hearing what Team Leader Jeonghyuk said, Yeonwoo nodded.
After I started filming for “Sketch,” I didn’t do any activities outside of the work. After that, I went back to school, so there was no activity other than filming a music show in the middle.
There are fans who are waiting for them to get thirsty, but it seemed like they liked the promotions.
“It’s good. The midterm exams for the university are over, and it seems like the right time.”
– So, if you have time now, would you like to attend the meeting? Manager Kim Min-soo will be there soon.
“all right.”
After hanging up on the phone, Yeonwoo simply prepared to go out.
There wasn’t much luggage to bring, so there was nothing more to do to clean up the house.
Perhaps because the house I moved into was closer to the company’s office building, I immediately got a call from manager Kim Min-soo and Yeon-woo went down to the front of the house.
“Minsu-hyung. You came really quickly.”
“It’s nice that it’s close. I often took him to actor Son Jin-wook’s house to play, but congratulations on moving.”
Yeon-woo laughed and got into the car, and after a while, Min-su’s car arrived at the office building.
I took the elevator and headed to the conference room of the planning team I had been to last time.
As soon as the door opened, the staff of the planning team, who were having a meeting in a free atmosphere, welcomed Yeonwoo.
“Mr. Yeonwoo. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you in person?”
Yeon-woo laughed at the greeting from Team Leader Jeong-hyuk.
As Team Leader Jeong said, it was the last time I met Hwang Min-kwon Kim Dok and Jeong Yo-han in the representative office after returning to Berlin, so three months have already passed while I was in college.
Of course, I just talked on the phone, but as a courtesy, I asked for my regards.
“That’s right. How have you been?”
“It’s me, haha. Please sit over here.”
When Yeon-woo sat down, the public relations team staff displayed a material containing an introduction to several entertainment programs on the screen.
“Once I was hired, it’s not an exaggeration to say that almost all of the entertainment programs are honestly.”
“That’s right. That’s a lot.”
Yeonwoo nodded her head.
The names of the programs were densely written on the screen.
“Still, I picked up a few at the end of an internal meeting.”
When the PR team member operated the remote control, the screen moved to the next page and only four items remained.
1. SBC – surprise attack
2. KBC – Today’s Cuisine
3. JNBC – Summer Table Beyond
4. Guitar Producer – Find Fans
“The first is SBC’s standard entertainment show, surprise attack.”
I knew this program well.
It is a longevity program that has been airing for over ten years, and it is a broadcast in which guests and cast members are divided into two parts in a set entertainment game and sports event.
“Then, are the guests going out with you set?”
“If you go out, I will probably cast you as a solo guest.”
Yeonwoo nodded and fell into thought.
It wasn’t bad as it was a program that had good ratings and had a lot of guests so far.
However, if we compare it with the purpose of communicating with fans, which is the reason why we decided to do activities outside of the work in the first place, it was not very appropriate.
“There are too many cast members and it’s complicated, so I’ll have to think about it.”
“Then the second is ‘Today’s Cuisine’, which was recently launched and cruised by KBC.”
It is a program that follows a chef who is the godfather and celebrity of the catering industry and performs a cooking mission.
“In the last variety show, the part where the actor went to the island to cook is still going around a lot with clips. So I decided to show it as an extension.”
You will certainly be able to extract several clips that fans will like.
But Yeon-woo scratched his head as if in trouble.
“I was able to cook in the past because I often cook it, but I don’t actually have a hobby, and I don’t have much skill.”
After living alone abroad for many years, there were some dishes that I knew how to cook naturally, but I wasn’t as good at cooking as the image reflected in the public.
“By the way, there are no entertainment shows on MBS?”
Team leader Jeong-hyeok answered Yeon-woo’s question while tilting his head.
“After the last time the CEO talked to an MBS official, he got a little angry and said that there were kkondaes in the entertainment office that he couldn’t understand, so he told them to remove them all from the list.”
“Um, the representative?”
It was hard to imagine that CEO Kim Joo-seong, who is usually cold-hearted, was angry.
“And the third is a three-part entertainment that JNBC presented as a short project as a sequel to 「Summer Table」.”
“Summer Table Beyond”
Regarding this project, Jinwook Son, Sohyun Han, and Yeonwoo have already finished talking.
Yeonwoo opened the message app on her smartphone and touched the chat room.
– Jinwook Son, Sohyun Han, Yeonwoo Ryu (3)
– Sohyun Han: I was offered a variety show called “Summer Wardrobe Beyond”.
– Son Jin-wook: Yeah, what do you think of So-hyun?
– Han So-hyun: I really like Jun-ho.
– Son Jin-wook: Still, I met and talked with Jun-ho last month, but it was a very unfair case. The only difference is that I went to an invited party and drank the champagne that was given out.
– Ryu Yeon-woo: How did Junho hyung look?
– Son Jin-wook: You seem to be doing better than you think. I go down to the countryside where my parents live and help with farming. After a while, I felt comfortable.
– Han So-hyun: Then, shall we not do this? I’m also interested in filming a sequel between us, and if it becomes a hot topic, only the Junho case will be talked about again.
– Son Jin-wook: Chansung.
– Ryu Yeon-woo: I agree too.
After reading the message, Yeonwoo put down her smartphone.
“The ‘Summer Wardrobe Beyond’ didn’t go on, so I started talking with actors Son Jin-wook and Han So-hyun.”
“Oh, right. I see.”
Team leader Jeong Hyuk did not ask further if he had guessed the reason.
– Son Jin-wook: The address is here. Hwachon-myeon, Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do…
Yeon-woo looked at the address of Ahn Jun-ho that Son Jin-wook had given him again.
‘I’ve figured out Baeksol’s identity to some extent, and I’ll have to start investigating the case for Ahn Jun-ho’s sake.’
Yeon-woo looked at the screen again and tilted his head when he saw the last item.
“Where’s the guitar maker?”
“Ah, number 4 is the You Tube channel. It is a corporate channel operated by a program producer, and it is a hidden camera with the concept of a star visiting fans and granting wishes.”
After hearing the explanation, Yeonwoo smiled.
“I want to do number 4 the most.”
