Chapter 217 – Song Yun-Ho’s Celebrity Scouting Method – 217
Episode 217.
Sukyung Chae. The leader and main rapper of the girl group Miss Six, whose stage name is Chaeri.
She is the girl who threw away the dandelion flower I shyly handed to her in kindergarten.
Her first love, which has been an opportunity for her to be dissatisfied with her normal self since childhood.
‘There was Miss Six among the invited singers. I didn’t know because I wasn’t interested.’
Since she plans to start her entertainment business in the future, I was much more interested in her entertainment business than before.
Every time I work at the Salon de Freya, I see five or six celebrities, so there is no way I’m interested in who the invited singer is.
‘It’s kind of funny to think that people who come to see a performance don’t recognize who the singer is.’
Miss Six members’ stage outfits caught my eye.
‘Is it sexy in a girl crush concept?’
If it had been before, I would have finished my appreciation to the point of just saying it was pretty.
Her entertainment knowledge, which she began to build after planning her entry into the entertainment industry, led to a different analysis.
A boxy long-sleeved sweatshirt and hot pants style jeans with lots of metal accessories that dancers would wear a lot when dancing.
It has a strong Hongdae-style feel, probably trying to jump on the bandwagon of hip-hop, which is a trend these days.
If it had ended here, it would have stayed in common girl crush outfits, but Miss Six’s production team didn’t want to do that.
A top that drastically reduced the length of the torso through repairs.
It’s such a popular fashion that there’s a separate name for it that shows off the belly button and slender waistline.
The tops worn by Miss Six members were cropped to the extent that the breastbone was visible.
‘It was a crop top, wasn’t that?’
Is it a fashion culture that has recently started in the subculture culture?
In a way, it can be said that it caught the latest trend well.
The problem is that the girl group market is rooted in popular culture, not a maniac subculture.
‘What is the alternative album concept?’
That outfit is trying to capture both girlcrush and sexy, but I think I’ll miss both.
I took out my phone for a while to check the album’s performance and consumer reaction, and it was as expected.
– This concept is really the worst.
-That’s why you shouldn’t dig a small idol… ㅠㅠ
After that, I read the status messages of Miss Six members.
While I was away, I checked all the details of Kakao Talk with the manipulation and editing function of Kakao Talk.
As a result, I was sure.
‘As expected. It’s ripe.’
The first quest for Chae Soo-kyung was because she felt anger at her actions.
At that time, instead of valuing the people who liked her, she was treating them as hogu.
Chae Soo-kyung’s mindset itself was enough to trigger her anger.
However, I did not take out my anger on Chae Soo-kyung. Even though she had a chance to seize and wield her weakness, such as Chae Soo-kyung getting caught up in the issue of school violence and then escaping her crisis with my help.
She had asked for nothing more than to send her a daily look that didn’t show her face every day.
The reason was simple. I didn’t want Chae Soo-gyeong to obey my words under pressure.
Chae Soo-kyung is so proud and arrogant that she treats ordinary people, especially those who like her.
All I wanted was to see her Chae Soo-kyung descend and become subordinate to someone of her own will.
‘Just like the name of the quest given by the wish fulfillment app is a toy idol.’
I picked up my phone and opened the chat room with Chae Soo-kyung.
It’s been about half a year since I signed the contract, so as promised, I should have more than 180 daily looks.
There were only about 90 photos.
At some point, I started making excuses like I forgot, I was busy and didn’t have time.
Chae Soo-kyung stopped sending pictures from a certain point when I didn’t urge her to.
This was also what I was inducing.
‘Come to think of it, Chae Soo-kyung is the right person.’
In another year, I’m going to enter the entertainment business.
The core of the entertainment business is people, more precisely, talents with the talents of celebrities.
Although I have the weapons of the Tarmata streaming app’s music source, the WeLike app’s appearance correction, and the girl group maker’s app’s ability to nurture.
‘It’s more convenient and time-saving to make a person with the basic conditions into a celebrity.’
In that respect, I think Chae Soo-kyung is perfect.
Of course, it will take a little correction to put it in my company and roll it my way.
‘Anyway, I’ve laid the groundwork for proofreading before.’
All that remains is the harvest. Shall we work on the harvest leisurely?
I remembered the name of the quest created when I first encountered Chae Soo-kyung.
Toy idol.
In a true sense, it was time to make Chae Soo-kyung my toy.

“Come on, today’s schedule. Everyone, let’s get dressed and go.”
“…”
“…Another event?”
“Well, it’s an event. It’s good to get a lot of money, isn’t it?”
None of the Miss Six members answered.
Yesterday’s event, today’s event. It is true that it is the most profitable schedule in terms of unit price alone.
The problem is that the schedule is an event where all you can get is money.
Content activities, such as entertainment, that generate virality and attract new fans.
Unlike concerts, which can earn huge profits and at the same time solidify the existing fandom.
A schedule where the agency can extract the maximum profit by replacing only the celebrities without preparing anything.
That was the event
Miss Six members all guessed. That they were abandoned.
And what was the reason for it.
No matter how much fandom size and profitability have been on the decline in recent years, it was about half a year ago that they started holding events so blatantly.
Receiving the emotions from the members’ eyes, Chae Soo-kyung tried to pretend to be expressionless.
One of her members shoved her as if she didn’t like her.
“What are you doing?”
“Sorry sister. She lost her balance while putting on the costume.”
I groaned and something rose.
‘Should I just explode it?’
But endured Because I knew very well that none of the members were on her side.
“Charlie unnie. Do you want to get dressed soon? Will you take responsibility if I’m late for the event?”
One of the members spilled words as if passing by.
“Even if losing’s image as Miss Six worsens, you can become independent as a soloist, eat well, and live well.”
After the bullying perpetrator issue broke out, Chae Soo-kyung became an outcast.
Even though it ended in a good direction, the reason why the members had a grudge is simple.
Her agency started treating Miss Six as an ATM machine, and in a situation where her solo career after the expiration of her 7-year contract would be the answer.
Because among her members, Chae Soo-kyung was the only one who had enough recognition to allow her to pursue a solo career.
Rather, her positive branding was added to as her school violence issues were resolved for good.
There was no way the other members were in a good mood.
‘These idiots.’
The empty-headed bitches are screaming because they are blinded by jealousy at the temporary rise in name value.
That she’s known enough to be the only one with her solo career?
Then what to do Chae Soo-kyung knows her own limits.
She’s the oldest, so she’s got the title of leader, but that’s all she is.
She is in charge of visuals with the title of main rapper, which is given to members who are not good at dancing or singing.
Trusting her pretty face, she turned into an idol-turned-actor, but was embroiled in a controversy over her foot acting, and was forgotten over the course of two or three years, the only future left for her.
Her destination is the president of a shopping brand that started out as an abomination, or a photo arm dressed as an influencer, so she is the same.
Even after her schedule was over, instead of going to her dorm, she headed to the company’s practice room.
‘I don’t want to be like that. Never.’
She made up her mind, biting her tongue painfully to ward off the pouring sleep.
Her last school abuse issue, when countless people who loved her held out her vicious blade instead of her affectionate touch.
Chae Soo-kyung desperately realized. She knows that she is a huge greedy person.
Don’t want to lose people’s interest and love.
She never wanted to lose her rights and the benefits she enjoyed.
Not only that. As a student who believed only in her appearance, she dreamed of her music, which became her first goal.
She doesn’t want to lose her title as a singer. She wants to live as a musician, she wants to live as an artist.
That was the reason why Chae Soo-kyung devotes at least an hour a day to her practice, despite all of her grueling schedule.
Another month passed like that. The activities that usually lasted for two or three months per album have already ended.
The reason is simple. It’s because the reaction has withered and the money is not good.
“Now, let’s get ready for the new album, kids.”
Despair stood on the faces of all her members when she said that she would start the next work without even praying for a break.
‘I can’t do it like this.’
An agency that urges the next activity while investing only the minimum cost in producing an album and not receiving good songs.
She has to escape before she goes beyond Miss Six’s image and falls into her image as a person named Chae Soo-kyung.
‘But how?’
Chae Soo-kyung lived an immature life, but since becoming a trainee, she has only practiced dancing, singing, and rapping.
She didn’t have the knowledge to think of a business way out of the situation.
Should I dry up like this? Should I be forgotten after extracting money to the limit, as many other celebrities did?
It was when I was soaked in such despair.
KakaoTalk!
-Long time no see.
The KakaoTalk message from someone she had forgotten three months ago rang on Chae Soo-kyung’s smartphone.
