Chapter 544 – #81. Bombshell Press Conference (4)
“What nonsense is that? It’s a sword strike! Don’t say that Then what if the horse becomes a seed?”
“Oh! Sorry. I made a mistake. I’ll watch my mouth!”
How could you say that you’d rather use a knife?
But what if something big happens?
I hated it because it was ominous even to say such words carelessly.
When I told her not to do it with a straight face, Minyoung noona smiled cutely, saying she had made a mistake.
It didn’t make me angry, but…
As I acted aegyo with the face of my ideal type itself, my voice lost strength without realizing it.
“…Be careful in the future. It is a matter of safety for our families.”
“Yep.”
“By the way, what does the company say? I’m really worried that your company will put my sisters at a disadvantage because of this.”
“Surprisingly, there was no reaction from the company. No different than usual I get a lot of phone calls, but they seem to be passing it off as if they can’t answer because of personal circumstances.”
Min-young noona said that the company was so unresponsive that she was in a daze.
Doesn’t the company pay too much attention to Minyoung noona? I was worried about doing it, but I thought that such a casual reaction might be better now.
“But, out of the blue, more and more places are trying to recruit me.”
“The more a woman meets a great man, the more her abilities are recognized, so she has no choice but to be like that.”
“It’s just like I said before. Then, what about Joo-ah? Didn’t she say something at work?”
“Our company is a bit fussy. It would be perfect to mix half and half with that company and ours.”
“What does it mean to make a big fuss? I can’t help but feel it when I hear that.”
“They said something about why you didn’t tell the company who the father was. And I guess I don’t like the fact that my child is in the public eye this time.”
“Didn’t you acknowledge Taeyang before you joined the company?”
When my sister signed a contract with the company, it was a condition that she had to be able to agree to reveal Taeyang’s existence.
The company agreed to reveal Taeyang’s existence, so noona can continue her activities as she is now.
“It was like that when I signed the contract. But after I signed and I started getting more and more known about my face, my attitude changed.”
My older sister complained in earnest, saying that it was because I hadn’t said anything in the meantime.
“Even though I made it known that I had a child, I hated actively talking about it in interviews. It’s a shish thing.”
“Ah, I knew that too.”
There was a time when my sister was annoyed.
He said he didn’t like the company that thoroughly skipped the interview questions and consistently left unanswered questions related to children.
“Besides that, there was also something that I secretly tried to make a scandal with by attaching a male actor.”
“Did something like that happen?!”
There are cases in which an actress deliberately causes a scandal with a high-ranking man to raise awareness.
But to make an actress with a child do that.
If I had known this earlier, I would never have stayed still.
“Why are you saying that now?”
“Because it is obvious that you will be angry. I figured it out well You know that. I’ve never had a scandal. Except for you.”
That’s also true, so I was angry, and then I was angry.
“Your sister is straight.”
“Yeah~ Taeyang is my mother, and Jin Hae-sol’s woman, so I have to do this. Anyway, it’s okay that the company is dating you, but I don’t like the fact that Taeyang’s existence is known. They said that there could be a problem getting into the role.”
“Is there really a problem?”
“No? At all! Rather, after your press conference, a lot of invitations came in for the role of a femme fatale. She is a very attractive woman, so it is a role that is very popular with men.”
“Who is Minyoung’s older sister?”
“I was recruited for the role of an innocent and naive on the outside, but a cunning fox on the inside.”
In conclusion, it meant that neither of them had any problems in their careers as actors.
Even though I thought it was fortunate, it was not a situation where I could laugh just fine because the problem with the delivery service from the fans was serious.
“I’ll do the delivery service.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I should ask you not to send it.”
“He must be crazy. Do you want to see your fans roll their eyes?”
“No way! Just leave it alone. Because we have no damage.”
“The couriers keep coming, so you’re saying you’re going to keep doing it?”
“You should never step out in this matter. It’s for us, so promise me.”
“… Are you really going to keep going like this?”
“It will get better with time. I am doing this because my eyes are turned upside down because of jealousy.”
My sister Min-young and sister Joo-ah were so firm in asking for an appointment, so I had no choice but to say yes.
“With your woman, only the two of us are known and revealed. That’s why I’m getting focused for a while.”
“We understand. I took you, but you have to suffer this much.”
I had nothing to say because the victims said that the noonas were generous in understanding the actions of the fans.
“Instead, if something really problematic comes out of the courier, I will go out.”
“Okay. Then we won’t tell you to be patient.”
After accepting the consent of my older sisters, I felt a little more at ease.
“How are you? The article was still plastered with your story. Are things okay?”
“They said they’d publish a comeback article today. Can I put it out in this atmosphere?”
“Ah, that’s exactly what I expected. The thing I was most worried about was the fan reaction, but it’s not worse than I thought, except for the fact that I keep sending parcels to my noonas. No, to be honest, I’m a bit moved.”
I thought there was nothing I could do about it even if a lot of fans fell away because of this incident.
The members also said they would fully understand the loss.
There will still be many fans with us, and if we work hard for those fans, we will be able to come back or create new ones.
I did, but after the incident came to a close, the reaction of the fans was unexpected.
There were people who said they would end their fan life because of this, but quite a few fans were posting messages cheering me on the fan cafe.
“The messages of support kept coming up. There are fans who thanked me for making a courageous confession…”
“Did you read that? There won’t be only good articles posted…”
“Yeonju-nim told me not to log on to the fancafe for the time being, but I still wanted to know what the situation was like.”
I hated hearing from other people.
Because I worry about my mentality, I can deliver only good words.
I felt like I had to check it with my own two eyes to feel better.
And on the fancafe I logged on after hardening my heart, there were several times more posts cheering me than swearing at me.
“There were cheering messages posted in several languages. What am I such a great person… I was honestly moved.”
“Is that why you cried?”
“… Crying. I’m not that emotional.”
“I’m sure you didn’t cry. I really thought you were going to cry this time.”
“Just because I didn’t cry doesn’t mean I wasn’t impressed. I felt that I had to be good to my fans, and I felt sorry for not being better for them, so I regretted it.”
Suffering from malicious fans, it seems that we have been neglecting the fans who genuinely like and worry about us.
When we thought about label independence, we thought of independence to give us more freedom to do what we wanted to do, but I don’t think we thought about doing something for our fans.
Now that Honey Entertainment doesn’t manage us, we had to think about what we could do for our fans.
“That’s right, because I have fans, I can continue this life.”
What can I do for those who give for me?
They are people who give endlessly, so I don’t know if it’s reasonable no matter what I try to give.
“Isn’t that what they want from you after all?”
To show the fans that they are working hard.
Even if they can’t meet in person, they will be satisfied and happy with just that.
“Are you working hard?”
“Huh.”
“In that respect, I’d be happy to know you’re making a comeback.”
“There is no better gift than that to the fans who support us.”
“That’s right. The comeback news will go up tomorrow, right?”
“Huh. The atmosphere is better than I thought, so I think we can go as planned.”
Two days after the press conference, the firepower is still not dead.
If they can turn this firepower into a comeback issue, the situation could not be better.
“I’m thinking of posting an article on the fancafe before I publish a comeback article, what do you think?”
“Once you write it, I can make sure I’m okay.”
“Okay. Write right away.”
While my older sisters were watching, I brought some stationery and held up a fan.
In this situation, I thought it would be better for the fans to write a handwritten letter and post it instead of typing it on the Internet and posting it.
“You write beautifully.”
“I don’t think this part is grammatically correct. Fix it again.”
“I know I have a lot to say, but I need to cut it short. Only the core is missing.”
The letter was completed after careful consideration after accepting each and every criticism.
Because I was verified by my older sisters, I was able to comfortably post a letter on the fancafe.
And the fans who checked my letter poured out tears of emotion and sent their support once again, saying that this press conference was a courageous act.
And the next day.
I gathered at the company with the members.
As planned, today we will inform people of the comeback article.
The members and staff gathered in the conference room patted me on the shoulder, saying that I had done a great job.
“Reporters were a bit harsh.”
“But thanks to that, it seemed that the reporters were receiving the swearing you would have ate instead.”
“In a way, I think the mentality of reporters is really great. Even if people cursed at him, he persevered and continued to write articles.”
“Some reporter wrote an article that criticized the articles for their overly rude questions.”
Even among reporters, the attitude at the press conference this time seems to have been frowned upon even among reporters working in the same field.
Asking rude questions is something reporters have been doing all along, so it’s not unusual, but the problem was that it went too far.
Moreover, wasn’t that scene being broadcast live?
Not only domestic fans of Airplane, but also overseas fans were all gathered.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a disgrace to the country.
Thanks to this, reporters were also showing reflection, as if they thought public opinion was too unfavorable to them.
‘That doesn’t mean I don’t write articles, though.’
For them, self-reflection meant changing the tone of the tone and writing an article in favor of me.
“Still, it seemed that the reporters were a bit cautious. Somehow, what you confessed at the press conference doesn’t seem very important.”
“I didn’t expect our fans to fight with reporters all of a sudden.”
“There are days when I benefit from reporters, and it’s something to live a long life for.”
“I’ve been through something in the past, shouldn’t I benefit more from this for the time being?”
After the press conference, which the members were worried about, they were greatly moved by the fact that the fans showed their support rather than cursing at me.
Of course, as soon as the talk came together, it came out without falling out.
“I was really moved this time. Have all the tears flowed?”
“It made me reflect on whether we hadn’t neglected our fans too much.”
“I want to give you something great, but do you have any good ideas?!”
All the members were overflowing with love for the fans.
Isn’t there a saying that people only show their true self when they face a crisis?
I’m grateful that they like us when we’re just fine, but there’s no choice but to have something that really touches me.
Of course, when I do a concert, I am overflowing with gratitude, emotion, and love for the fans, but these were emotions that I couldn’t easily feel unless it was a special situation like that.
However, when we saw that the majority of fans did not leave us even in such a crisis situation and instead sent us support and encouragement, their love came to us anew.
“I also thought this part needed a discussion. In the past, when we were at Honey Enter, we took good care of ourselves, but now that we have become independent as a label, we have to decide what to do for our fans ourselves.”
