Chapter 228 – #32. Suggestion (3)
“And.”
And?
“I have good news for you.”
“Good news?”
“It’s sad when you give me bad news. So I prepared. In fact, I was going to let you know when the story progressed a little more. It would be disappointing if you flirted too quickly and then didn’t work out. But now the conversation has progressed enough to be able to tell you, and something bad has happened, so I’m just telling you to offset it.”
All the members’ eyes twinkled as if they were ready to listen.
I was upset about the bad news from the morning, but I was not in a bad mood because the matter was resolved well thanks to director Jo Yeon-joo’s performance.
But in addition to that, good things happen, so everyone’s eyes sparkle.
“I got a call from a good place. Does anyone know of a program called ‘Amazing Star’?”
There was a guy who pricked up his ears at the word ‘Amazing Star’.
Kang Kyung-tae was that member, and he was a fan of Amazing Star.
“I know!”
“Kyung-tae hyung is a huge fan of that program. I watch it every time.”
“Is it so?”
“Yes, I am a big fan. I watched all of them without missing a single episode.”
“It is a very famous program.”
“Because the best stars appear and compete against each other!”
It is a program featuring famous stars who start in the Billboard chart 100 unconditionally when they make a comeback.
It was a program that should be considered an honor just for being invited, and it was currently in production until season 10.
‘In terms of the earth, it’s a much upgraded naga singer + idol contest program.’
As the season was 10 years old, it was impossible to recruit only huge stars like in the past, and the current status has fallen a lot.
However, the production team sensibly changed the direction of the program slightly, and now they are focusing on making stars by recruiting talents who are talented enough to overturn their reputation.
In other words, if only stars with huge fans were cast in the past, now it has become a program that gives opportunities to those who want to become stars.
However, the main purpose was not to grow the participants, but because it was a program that gave people who already had enough skills an opportunity to get to know their faces, it was a program where people with current skills and talents were chosen rather than talented participants with a promising future.
“… Could it be that we were recruited there?”
Mentioning such a program now means that we were cast there.
Kang Kyung-tae cautiously asked, not believing even though he was just in case, and director Jo Yeon-joo smiled and said.
“As you guessed, we’re talking to them.”
“!!”
“No, how did that happen?”
“Are we really there?”
Because we were invited to a program that we could not have imagined, we did not easily believe it even after hearing it.
There were times when I doubted whether we had reached the level to be cast in the program.
“You know that it doesn’t end just because you’re invited, right? Being on Amazing Star would be high risk, high return. The success or failure of overseas expansion depends on what you show there.”
Gulp-
It’s a really great opportunity, but it’s up to us to seize it properly.
Because participating in the program does not make everyone a great star.
“I can do it!”
“If you have a chance, you can do anything.”
When I appeared on Mask Singer and showed off my skills, all the members seemed to want that opportunity to come to them.
However, Amazing Star was a program that could satisfy all the members’ wishes.
“Then are you producing Season 11?”
“It is still a secret. Because we are recruiting members.”
“Is our appearance confirmed?”
“That’s right. It’s confirmed, so don’t worry. Instead, I informed you in advance, so you should be prepared, right?”
“Yes!”
“But what should I prepare for?”
Director Jo Yeon-joo did not answer Gi Woo-yeon’s question, but Kyung-tae said.
“Of course I have to prepare for the performance.”
“Show?”
“It’s about casting a vote. It tells us who we are. In front of viewers and producers watching Amazing Star.”
“I said I was a fan, so I know it well. That’s right. As Kyung-tae said, we have to prepare for the stage. Prepare for a stage where you can show off with the most confidence. If you need our help, we always ask for it.”
Everyone is happy to hear that I will be appearing on Amazing Star, but I was worried about one thing.
It was obvious that if I appeared on Amazing Star, my overseas schedule would increase further.
When will it start, and when will the program end?
And whether I can go back after the program is over.
The future schedule was too uncertain.
“When do you start filming?”
“A month later. By the time the scheduled schedule is over, you should be able to prepare for Amazing Star in earnest.”
“Thank you for the opportunity.”
“I didn’t do anything. It was only possible because of all of you.”
Director Jo Yeon-joo replied humbly, but we all knew that if it wasn’t for her, she wouldn’t have been able to achieve such great results.
Just by looking at the ticket to appear in ‘Amazing Star’ this time, it is the same.
All of her other employees were surprised to hear her story, so she must have been working on it alone.
Even so, she doesn’t boast about her achievements and shows her humility, so she can’t help but respect her.
In fact, all the other members had close to max in their liking for Director Jo Yeon-joo.
‘Pony, even if you touch her, you’ll touch a woman like that…’
If it wasn’t for ‘that incident’, I would have been able to deal with director Jo Yeon-joo much more comfortably than I do now.
Maybe we were quite friendly.
Having a talented person by my side would have been of great help to me.
However, both me and director Jo Yeon-joo had strong feelings of reluctance to do something with each other.
I found out a bit about director Jo Yeon-joo, but she wasn’t a bad person enough to make a place in her debut group with her body.
Of course, you can’t know everything about people through rumors, but there is a story that Honey Entertainment CEO and Director Jo Yeon-joo said they really disliked that kind of thing and told a tangled story.
Hearing that, I really thought that Pony had done something absurd.
‘The celebrity in charge committed suicide when the fact that he was sponsored was revealed, and the current CEO and director Jo Yeon-joo, who saw that, were in agreement to establish a company, and they lobbied for such a company…’
I wondered why honey companies were rumored to be clean like that, but there was such a background.
It was also understandable why director Jo Yeon-joo was uncomfortable with me.
“I don’t have a schedule today, so I’m taking a good rest. Today’s schedule has been postponed until tomorrow.”
“Uh? Can I?”
“You had a hard time managing your diet because of the photo shoot. I made a reservation at this famous restaurant, so I ate there and rested well at the hotel. Can you do it well?”
“Of course!”
“Wow~ Thank you!”
The unexpected break seemed to give the members as well as the staff who worked hard all night to breathe.
I also always welcomed a break.
‘I’m going to go see Bok-soon-noona today.’
It bothered me so much that my sister was suffering alone, but she said she would sleep later and had to secretly move and see her face.
While I see an opportunity.
We all moved together to the restaurant that Director Jo Yeon-joo had made a reservation for.
I only ate grass for a while to manage my diet for the photo shoot, but everyone rushed excitedly at the carnivore dinner that unfolded in front of them after a long time.
“I love eating meat after a long time!!”
“What are you doing eating this?”
“Shall we go see the lake over there?”
“Uh?! Me too! I want to go too!”
“Stay with someone to go.”
“I will decline. I want to rest at the inn. I’m not getting enough sleep.”
“Really, that brother is a sleeper. Sleepy.”
“Originally, handsome people sleep a lot. We have to understand.”
After a long vacation, everyone was in high spirits.
Ki Woo-yeon ate meat while dancing the shoulder dance, and Kyung-tae said that he had to run through Amazing Star season 10 again and ate the meat without knowing whether he was eating it with his mouth or nose.
“Hey! Where are you guys going? No, it’s dangerous.”
“You can go with the bodyguards. Please allow me. It’s a long-awaited vacation, so you can’t just sleep in the dorm.”
“Will you quietly listen to us?”
“Yes! I will listen perfectly.”
“Okay, so you’re only going around for 4 hours? You have to come back when it’s done.”
“Cheer up! Totally okay!”
After eating, the speed of the forking of the members who have planned everything is speeding up.
In fact, I was full of thoughts that I should eat quickly and go to my sister, so I was busy playing with chopsticks like the kids.
Because of that, I didn’t know that Director Jo Yeon-joo was glancing at me.
The only time I noticed her strangeness was when I ran into her after finishing her meal and going to the bathroom to do her errands.
“Please pass first.”
I move out of my seat to tell them to pass first and wait, but director Jo Yeon-joo doesn’t think to go.
She hesitated a little, then got in my way and she said.
“Can we talk for a minute?”
“Yes? Ah… Please speak.”
“I heard earlier that you said you would rest at the dorm instead of going out separately.”
“Yes.”
“Are you very tired?”
“It’s not like that, because I like to sleep.”
“It’s not like you have to sleep because you’re tired, right?”
“… Yes.”
At first, I was going to give him a vacation and then work again, but I tried.
But no.
“Then today’s holiday, can you give me some time?”
“…”
She has been proposing me on a date now.
It’s because the person who asks for time for a public matter won’t say anything with blushing cheeks.
If there had been a signal before making this suggestion, I wouldn’t have been so taken aback.
The person who had been businesslike and cold-hearted until now suddenly did this, so the words didn’t come out right away.
It was because her head couldn’t accept her date request.
“Uh… Hmm… You asked me out on a date right now, right?”
“I’m not asking for time for work, so a date is okay.”
“…”
“Is it a refusal?”
She wasn’t sure if it was right to say no or accept.
I wondered if director Jo Yeon-joo was suddenly doing something like this, maybe he had other ulterior motives.
‘Since it happened like this, it might be better to organize the day’s work neatly.’
This time, I’m going to solve the problem without leaving it unsatisfying.
If not now, when else will I be able to have a personal conversation with director Jo Yeon-joo?
“No. I will take my time.”
“… I will go to the hotel room.”
“Yes.”
Director Jo Yeon-joo, who had made an appointment, went into the bathroom as if she hadn’t talked before.
I worked hard on managing my expression and joined the members.
“Are you really going to be in a hotel alone?”
“Why don’t you go shopping while looking around?”
“No. Lack of sleep I will sleep.”
“Anyway, that housekeeper…”
“You guys follow along well. Don’t risk walking around alone. Be careful not to get lost. Take care of your things so you don’t get pickpocketed.”
“Yes!”
I came out of the restaurant and naturally tore with the members.
I go to the hotel, the members go sightseeing.
Company employees also want to go sightseeing, so fewer people went to the hotel.
“Relax comfortably~”
“Yes. Noona, don’t worry about me and play. I’m sure you’re doing a good job locking down the door.”
“Okioki. I don’t know about the other kids, but I believe in you.”
For my safety, the manager sister went sightseeing after making sure that I went into the hotel room.
The first thing I did after entering the hotel room was to change my clothes.
You don’t even know that the clothes you’ve been wearing will be useless.
