Idols Around the World 670

Chapter 670 – #94. Shin Ae Ahn (11)

Dramatization.
There were quite a few cases of making a drama based on a well-known webtoon.
I know that one of the dramas that are still airing is based on a webtoon.
I know that it is good because it can attract fans who have read the webtoon to viewers, and it is low-risk because it is produced with a story that has already proven its popularity.
Of course, it’s not without its downsides.
There is a polarity of existing fans for the original webtoon, so if casting is wrong, they will be criticized.
And if the original adaptation is done wrong, there will be an uproar.
Nevertheless, he was steadily producing dramas based on webtoons.

“Is there anything I should do when it is dramatized?”

However, I received an offer to make the dramatization into my own work.
Although the story is still in its infancy, it was a proposal that could not be easily made unless you were sure of success.

“No. If the drama writer requests it, we could meet and talk about the project once in a while, but I won’t ask for more than that. It’s not like there’s anything that’s too much of a burden on the writer. Rather, the odds of benefiting from it are very high. Fans who have seen the drama will want to see the original.”

The editor who is implying that when this work is dramatized, the money that can be made from it will be great.
While thinking about it, Shin-ae decided to solve the question that immediately came to her mind.

“But aren’t webtoons usually made based on completed webtoons?”
“It’s a situation where the artist has already drawn all the parts until the end. And there is still a lot of time left before it can be made into a drama. Wouldn’t it be almost halfway through by then? That’s enough to make a drama irrelevant. And in fact, just because it is nominated, I can’t say for sure that this work will definitely become a drama. Since so many people are involved in the production, it is inevitable that there will be many different opinions.”
“Oh~”

If that’s the case, the editor’s suggestion makes sense.
His work is to enter the ‘candidate’, but it does not mean that he will produce it as a drama right away.
I was a little excited about the nonsense, but my mind was coming back.
What do you mean by excitement?
It would be nice if it was dramatized, but that doesn’t mean that you should be buried too much in it.

“Then, even if you become a candidate, it can’t be dramatized? Because other works can be selected.”
“Yes, you can. Don’t be too disappointed though. In my opinion, there is no more attractive option than the author’s work. That’s the reason why I actively push the author’s work. If this work becomes a drama, it will be loved even more.”
“It’s still a long story, so I don’t think it really touches me.”
“Haha, then shall we talk about something more realistic? This month’s artist’s work promotion plan. It’s going to be on the main banner for now…”

The editor turned the story smoothly.
First of all, he seemed satisfied with hearing that he had positive thoughts about making it into a drama.
After that, work-related contents that could be exchanged in general continued.
In fact, I felt much more comfortable talking about it than the non-realistic story that she might be dramatized as well.

“It seems that I have roughly said everything I have to say. Shall we change seats and go to dinner?”
“Yes.”

The editor kept his word that he would treat me properly.
Since she used her law car, it wouldn’t have been a bad choice for her either.
However, she had no choice but to take down what was covering her face at the dinner table, so of course her true identity was discovered.

“Actually, I was really curious about what you were doing as your day job. But the main job is being an idol… If I have said anything rude, I apologize.”

In the middle of the day, I had been wondering what it would be like for the editor to quit his job and focus on this work.
She was in fact what the editor said in a sneaky way, but she could be offended that she was being ignored for her job on her part.
It’s because she mentioned ‘money’ as a means of weighing the editor.
‘If this work goes well, I will make a lot of money. So, how about quitting the main job that doesn’t make money?’.
But once you know what your main job is, you will have nothing to say.
If she was an ordinary office worker, it would have been a better choice for her to seriously consider painting as her hobby, as the editor said.
In addition, since the work was a hit, wouldn’t it make a lot of money?
However, it was not applicable to Shin-ae, who was active as an idol.

“In the first place, if I was that good at drawing, I would have started art long ago.”

Shin-ae became an idol because what she liked more than drawing was dancing and singing.

“Yes, I’m not offended by that, so don’t worry.”
“Phew~ I’m glad.”
“But I want you to hide my identity as much as possible. Since my main job is an idol, if I become known, it will inevitably affect the serialization of my work. I don’t want my hobby to interfere with my day job.”
“Aww, of course. I will keep it a secret.”

The editor’s face was full of trust, as if she had no intention of doing so.

She said, ‘She must have meant it when she said he would hide it. But if the boss comes and asks why he hides it?’
‘!!!’
‘You know, but it’s the employee’s position that if the boss tells them to do it, they have no choice but to do it. If that is known, how well will the work sell? If the editor-in-chief asks to create a rumor, who should he listen to?’

Of course you will listen to your boss.
Even if she was herself, she would have done the same.
That’s why she strongly warned the editor who hasn’t sinned yet.
I thought that was the thing for her, so her words.

“A hobby is something to relieve stress. However, if my true identity is revealed, I would rather be stressed out by drawing. Wouldn’t there be no reason to continue such a hobby?”
“Ah… That’s understandable enough. De-stressing is really important.”
“Yes. So I want to hide my identity as much as possible. It may help the work by gaining a lot of attention, but it will probably backfire after that. When I work as an idol, I think that you can really hate me this much.”

It was unavoidable that one hurtful post from an evil fan would remain in my heart more than 10 posts from fans saying they love me.
Her editor flinched at what she strongly warned her about, but after hearing her back, her expression became mysterious.

“All right. We will protect you no matter what happens. I’m probably the only one who knows who the author is.”

The words she said this time were to be kept secret.

‘Does this mean you won’t even tell the company?’

If the editor shuts up, she will have no way for the company to figure out her identity.

“Thank you.”

This completely blocked her identity from being known to others.

“Ah! And I will refrain from meeting face-to-face like this in the future. Please don’t be sad that I’m contacting you by phone instead.”
“No. You are taking care of me.”

The meeting with the editor could have ended warmly by being considerate.

♧ ♧ ♧

The work on the webtoon was also safely resolved, and the pre-made amount was being serialized on the promised date.
All she has to do is revise and see readers’ reactions.
In a situation where she could pay less attention to her webtoon work, Shin-ae’s focus had to change naturally.
And it was the double date that she began to pay attention to.
Her member, her member’s lover and her own lover are going on a date together.
It will be a special experience that I have never experienced before, so I was filled with joy and anticipation as the promised day approached.
It was the same for the members.

“Ha, there you are. Didn’t you say you were going to sleep overnight at camping?”
“Huh.”
“Then… How will you use the room?”

Inyon?
She had the dark idea that she was a woman too, but it was clear to her eyes.
Shin-ae didn’t pretend to know her, and she replied calmly.

“Of course I will bring a tent. He said he was with his brother. I bought it when traveling with my family, so they said it was big.”
“Are we all sleeping together in one tent?”

A member becomes sullen.

‘Ugh, that guy went out in heat.’

In front of me, I couldn’t even put my hands on it, and I was shaking.

“Of course two! No matter how much it is a double date, each person has to protect their privacy.”
“Oh, that’s right! Then you and Haesol sunbaenim… ?”
“Ah~ Come to think of it, are you couple still shy to sleep together?”
“No, that… Hmm… That’s right…”

Fresh, fresh

It was so fun for Shin-ae, a member who usually does smirks like that.

“Originally, the soundproofing of the tent is not good.”
“!!!!”
“But the soundproofing of Haesol’s tent is not too bad.”
“!!!!”

Seeing the faces of the members going back and forth between paradise and hell at the words of Shin-ae made me go crazy with laughter.

“On our side, we will only carry two. If you want to go out with your lover, take care of it yourself. There are a lot of rental places these days.”

Shin-ae, who handed over the choice to her members, was excited to see how many tents there would be on the day of her double date.
And finally the day of the double date has come.

“How is it?”
“Exorcism. I am?”
“Phi-p-p-t!”

Excessively tongue-in-cheek and thumbs up at each other’s appearance, the two bravely left the dorm.
Outside the accommodation, there was a van parked by celebrities.
But they both knew that Ben did not belong to the manager.
I worked hard to manage my expression as if I was going through a schedule so that sasaeng fans wouldn’t cling to me.
I packed my luggage in advance and moved it to Haesol’s brother’s van, so no one looked at me strangely.
I opened Ben’s door and went inside and greeted him in the driver’s seat.

Drooling-!
Thud!
“Brother!”
“Hello.”
“Uh~ hello. Let’s start at once There was someone who looked like a sasaeng fan.”
“Omg! Yes. If I hadn’t prepared in advance, I would have been in big trouble.”
“I know today is the day I go to see my family, but I’m like that…”

Bad fans quickly exchanged information with each other, often becoming the main culprit of causing trouble for the agency.
So, if you were carrying a lot of luggage while traveling for the purpose of camping, there would be a high probability that you would feel strange and follow you persistently.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

From then on, Hae-sol’s brother started moving the car and in an instant succeeded in separating the sasaeng fans who were following him.

“Oh! It’s really gone. Be great!”
“This is it. The luggage I gave you in advance is in the back, and this is something I bought in order not to go hungry on the way.”

The envelope that Haesol gave me was full of various foods.

“And! Thank you jelly!”

As if they were still excited, the member took out the snacks from the bag and hurriedly brought them to his mouth.
Isn’t this the real taste of vacation?
Shin-ae also took out a snack and ate it.

“I want to move to the seat next to you.”
“Uh?”
“I want to go by my brother’s side. When senior Jiyong rides, is it okay if I go to the passenger seat?”
“However much. I am fine.”
“Eat some of this before then.”

When the car stopped at a red light for a moment, I quickly put a snack in Haesol’s mouth.
Watching him take and eat the snack he gave me, my heart was pounding at his cuteness.

“Boo, I envy you.”

She fed her older brother Hae-sol her snacks and watched her eat them, but she didn’t pay attention to her member for a moment, but she heard a voice beside her envying her.
When she turned her head and looked at the member, she could see that she was looking at the two of us with envy.
Somewhat embarrassed, Shin-ae said curtly to her member.

“You can do it when your boyfriend comes too. What’s the problem.”
“Oh, I’m not good at it. If you put it in front of me, the aegyo doesn’t come out.”

Shin-ae rolled her eyes at her member’s cruel treatment.
If he didn’t do it properly, Woo Ji-yong sunbaenim wouldn’t have dated him.
I was going to do well, but there was no doubt that I was trying hard for no reason.
