Idol Survival, a TV program that Jiwoo watched and went wild.
There, I feel a bit reluctant to call myself Nauri-sama, even when I think about it myself. Let’s say Mr. Nauri.
In that program, I first saw Mr. Nauri.
However, I saw it at the end of the appearance, so I couldn’t confirm his face at the time, and I only heard one sentence of his voice.
But that voice, just one sentence, really touched my heart.
[······I will never give up. I will try again and become an idol.]
The dream of becoming an idol that is not shaken at all even though I was unfortunately eliminated by one rank difference.
He believes that he will be able to become an idol even though he ended up in the very vague ranking of 23rd.
And even a beautiful voice that captivated people’s ears even with just one sentence, worthy of that dream and belief.
Ms. Nauri was the first person to tell me what it meant to have her voice sparkle, a gemstone that never faded even when she came in among my brilliant members.
And her brilliance of Mr. Nauri became more evident the more I got to know her.
At first, I just listened to my voice, and I had no idea what kind of appearance I would have, and whether I would have the skills or potential to match my beautiful voice, so there was a clear possibility that I would be disappointed in various factors that were less than expected when I faced reality.
However, the appearances of Mr. Nauri that I searched for and found far from disappointingly made me confidently exceed my expectations, and when I watched the video titled ‘Idol Survival Nawoori’s collection of parts’ to the end, I stopped imagining it.
The five idols who shine brighter than anyone else on stage.
Mr. Nauri was literally the last piece of the puzzle.
The talent each and every one of them possesses is unmatched, and everyone has enough potential to become the best idols.
However, can we stage a stage with only four people? If I asked myself if I could become the best idol if I grouped those four into one group, I couldn’t readily answer yes.
It was because each member’s talent and light couldn’t harmonize with just four members.
That’s why I couldn’t say that I had gathered all the members even after Haru came in, and I felt that I had to find one more member first with my heart rather than my head.
And when I saw Nauri’s video, I found it.
[Guys, you can definitely do it. Let’s believe in what we’ve done so far. We do our best to show people who we are.]

Especially in her team, where her skills are inferior compared to her other teams, the scene where Nauri gives her words of encouragement to her devastated teammates is why I consider her the last member of her group. This was the decisive reason why I decided to recruit him.
Of course, immediately after that cool scene, the team members were given names saying, ‘Showing people who we are… Are we going to stand alone?’, But thanks to Nauri, they were motivated. I regained my courage and proudly received a passing grade.
‘Teamwork’ befitting the name ‘we’.
Unlike our members who have lived their lives alone, Mr. Nauri was someone who knew what cooperation was and experienced how to run a team first.
If you become a leader, you will lead the team well, and even if you do not become a leader, you will act to make the team run well.
I was so impressed with her performance in idol survival that I had such trust, and her natural ability was also incomparable to our members.
Nauri has been a trainee for a long time, and our kids have only been together for less than a week, so it’s only natural that there is a difference in her skills.
Anyway, for that reason, when I imagined the scene of the five members standing on stage, including Nauri, who knows what teamwork is, I stopped everything I was doing and admired it from the bottom of my heart.
I just imagined it because it was so perfect.
In this way, Mr. Nauri became the last piece of the puzzle that I absolutely needed.
As it has always been, it is impossible to imagine an idol group without her.

Na Chung-hyeon and Na Woo-ri, who received business cards from me, each reacted differently when they saw my name on the cards.
“Bareungil Enter······ Bareungil Enter······ I think I heard it somewhere.”
Na Choong-hyeon was muttering something with a frustrated face as if he could remember something, while Na-uri took his eyes off his business card and looked at me.
“He is the manager of Bareungil Entertainment.”
“Yes, that’s right. I am Kang Jin-hyeok, the manager of Bareungil Entertainment.”
“Does the manager also do casting work…?”
Sadly, Mr. Nauri asked me in a puzzled voice if there was something suspicious about me being a manager.
Usually, the manager doesn’t do the casting. It’s even more so to come to the agency like this.
However, I was the best (Jin) manager who would be in charge of the best idols from start to finish, not an ordinary manager that entertainment agencies would roughly assign to entertainers.
“Yes, I cast all four of the current members.”
That’s why I was able to confidently say yes while facing Mr. Nauri’s suspicious face.
“Ew? Manager oppa, let’s just say it right away, you shouldn’t pay.”
And I was rebutted by Jiwoo, who was waving cutely with her leg that didn’t touch the floor right next to me.
······That’s right. Jiwoo wasn’t cast by me, it was a parachute that was inserted through his father’s connections.
I listened to Jiwoo’s words, picked up what he said proudly, and spoke again in a voice that was not confident at all.
“······I cast all of them except for Jiwoo, no, I cast all of them except for Jiwoo and Haru.”
And when I thought about it again, it was not that I cast Haru myself, but that he came to become an idol himself, so I corrected it again by excluding Jiwoo and Haru and saying that I casted myself.
······What is it? Since only two of the four were directly cast, why does it suddenly seem so rare?
As if I wasn’t the only one who felt that way, Mr. Nauri, who had heard my revised answer twice, also had a deeper doubt in his eyes.
“Only two people were cast directly… The manager himself…. I want to ask you one question. Who is the representative celebrity of Bareungil Entertainment?”
In the end, the doubt broke through the baseline, and the question I really didn’t want to hear came out of Mr. Nauri’s mouth.
“That’s… Um, so that’s… There are representative celebrities. She’s not very famous, so even if you hear it, you won’t know.”
I could immediately answer that Bareungil Entertainment’s representative celebrity was Choi Cheol-hoon.
It’s not because he’s the most famous celebrity, but because he’s the only celebrity affiliated with Bareungil Entertainment.
And I am also a celebrity who is not famous at all.
“It’s okay. It will come out if you search for it, so I’ll check it out.”
“It’s a problem that I can’t find it even after searching…”
“Yes?”
“Yes, there is. Won’t come out It’s because I’m a person whose only thing is to appear on the early morning broadcast panel.”
“What is that…”
“Wouldn’t it be better though? Since there are no famous people at all, if we debut as an idol in our company, we will be no different than the number 1 celebrity…!”
At the time when I was about to talk nonsense in an attempt to somehow rectify this ruined atmosphere, Mr. Na Choong-hyeon, who had been muttering next to Mr. Na Woo-ri, clapped his hands and shouted.
“Yes Bareungil Entertainment! Remembered! It’s an agency where producer Jeong Baro is the president, isn’t it?”
“Yes? Uh, that’s right By the way, do you know our boss?”
“Sure! I know! He was once called the best genius producer in Korea, right?”
Did you?
I didn’t know it would be so great that the president was called the best genius producer in Korea, but it was obvious that if I showed it here, the situation would only get worse.
So, when she closed her mouth, Mr. Na Woo-ri, who was full of doubts and distrust, asked Na Chung-hyeon a question with his eyes sparkling for the first time.
“Uncle, the best genius producer in Korea is the CEO of Bareungil Entertainment? This is such a great company.”
“Well, I don’t know if Bareungil Enter is a great company or not. At least it’s clear that the producer is a great person. That’s because every entertainer they produce is at the top of their generation.”
“Wow… A company with such a person as the president.”
Na Woo-ri’s eyes shone even more at Na Choong-hyeon’s delicious explanation.
When I asked who the representative celebrity was, I thought it was ruined, but I thought I could draw interest thanks to the name of the president, who is the real representative.
In order not to miss the opportunity, I put it into my mouth that ‘President Jeong Baro, the best genius producer in Korea in the past’, would produce it.
“Yes, our president…”
“But that’s an old story. Producer Jeong Baro walked the path of complete downfall from that incident.”
Is that so?!
“I heard he was the best producer. But a sudden downfall, what the hell is that…”
“I don’t know the details either, but at that time all sorts of scandals and scandals broke out. Producer Jeong Baro protested against all allegations and was eventually acquitted, but after everything was over, none of the entertainers he created reached out to him.”
No, the boss has such a past?!
I couldn’t say anything when the president’s past, which I didn’t know, came out through Na Choong-hyeon’s mouth.
Because I really don’t know.
If I had known even a little bit, I would have either hit the shield or said yes, but all I know about the boss is his first name and that he was a producer in the past.
That’s why I couldn’t say anything even after watching Nauri’s face harden in real time.
“Hmm, I don’t know what it is, but I like our company. The trainees are really only the best gemstones.”
If there is one thing, it’s about Bareungil Entertainment’s amazing talent pool that no one can dispute.
“······I-I’m sorry. So I’m going to give you a definite answer now. I guess I’ll have to think about it.”
However, it was impossible to seduce Mr. Nauri, who is a talented person himself, by saying that the talent pool is great.
