86 – Kang Jin-hyeok debuts at a broadcasting station! (1)
1.
What should I do? Should I call my uncle? No, no. Uncle can’t help It’s a situation where I can’t even take care of my own body.
At the phone call from the production team asking them to come with the person in charge of their agency regarding the contract to appear on the show, Nauri felt a great deal of trouble.
This wouldn’t have happened if they had contacted me about the revival of the losers even a day earlier, but the fact that this kind of contact came on the same day that the agency exploded and the trainee contract was terminated was very unfair to Nauri.
But Nauri lived with regrets, and he already knew that he wasn’t helping anything, so he said, ‘This is a billion! Woo-ae-ae-aeng!’ Rather than crying, he prioritized finding another way.
I can still cry later, saying that the world is forcibly disowning me. Right now, rather than that, it’s more about thinking about how to seize this heaven-sent opportunity.
To show one’s face even once on a broadcast is something that everyone who aims to become an idol cannot help but wish for.
If you can leave a strong impression that will be etched in the minds of viewers without stopping there, that is truly a dream come true.
In that respect, the revival of losers was a golden opportunity for the trainees who did not survive the idol survival, which should not be missed… No, it was a diamond-like opportunity.
Should I go out and knock on the door of another agency? No, it’s night It’s late. And besides, no one will accept it if you push it so recklessly. So what? Do I have to wake up early tomorrow morning and find an agency that will accept me as a trainee before the promised time of 6pm and sign a contract?
“······There’s no way that could be possible, you fools.”
It was such an absurd idea that self-reproaching self-reflection came out.
There’s no way you can easily find an agency that will quickly sign a contract like that, and even if there is a company that makes a contract that way, it’s probably not a proper company.
“Haaah, what should I do? There is no way…”
I put my hands on my face and cried, ‘The world hates me!’ Right before I could not see anything ahead, the outerwear draped over the chair came into Nauri’s field of vision.

“Wait a minute.”
After seeing the coat, Nauri jumped up from the bed and ran a short distance, less than a few steps, with a pat-patting sound, and hurriedly took something out of the coat pocket.
“There was…”
An opportunity to appear in the idol survival match, which cannot be missed by idol trainees, where every minute and every second is precious.
“A company that will give you a contract like that…….”
That’s why Nauri just thought that the company that would give us a contract like that would not be a proper company, and he had no choice but to pick up his cell phone even though he already knew that it was not a proper company.
“Aww…! Whatever it is, take it! No, please accept it!”
Thorururu. Turururu.
With a desperate voice, Nauri took out a phone number from her jacket pocket and called the phone number written on her business card. About 20 seconds later, the connection was cut off and a man’s voice resounded.
[Hello?]
“Hello? Manager Kang Jin-hyuk, I am Nauri, the one I met earlier.”
[Oh, my dear! You called me! What are you doing?]
It’s a bit early to go to bed, but it’s obviously late to call, but Kang Jin-hyeok’s voice over the speaker was so bright and friendly.
As if he had been waiting impatiently for his phone call, Nauri, who was already in a hurry, unknowingly put the main point into his mouth.
“Please be my manager!”
[Yes!]
Of course, the answer was immediate.

“Wow.”
I couldn’t help but admire the majesty of the broadcasting station building, which was so huge that there was a stop in front of Dol-net right in front of the main road, with my mouth wide open enough for insects to enter.
This is a broadcasting station. I’ve been here for the first time. After my kids debut, it must be a broadcasting station like this where I have to go in and out like my own home. To do that, you have to act naturally, but you keep being surprised. After being released from prison and wandering around the workplace, it is the first time I come to Seoul, so I do this without even realizing it…
“······Hey, manager?”
Mr. Nauri, who was next to me, cautiously called me, as if it was annoying to see me surprised with my mouth wide open.
I immediately closed my mouth and looked at Mr. Nauri with a natural smile as if I was not surprised at all.
“Yes, sir.”
“That… I have a favor to ask of you. Could you call me something other than ours?”
“Yes?”
Contrary to what he thought, Mr. Nauri opened his mouth and didn’t point out that he was surprised.
Wouldn’t the title “Our” Be special? Wouldn’t it be nice to feel respected if you put ‘nim’ on it?
I don’t think I’ll be able to come up with an answer anyway, even if I think about it alone.
“Why?”
“That, that’s… The relationship between me and the manager right now is the relationship between the trainee and the company manager. However, I thought people would look at me strangely if the manager treated me with extreme respect like this while adding the honorific title “Nim” After the trainee’s name.”
“Aha.”
Certainly, anyone can feel it is strange for a manager to use the honorific title of “Nim” For a company trainee rather than an idol in charge.
‘Is that trainee the president’s daughter by any chance? Is she a parachute?’ Or ‘Is she a very perverted masochist who feels s*xual pleasure by limiting herself by giving younger trainees the title ‘nim’?’
It is not good for such a thing to happen in many ways, so I gladly accepted Mr. Nauri’s request.
“Okay. Then I won’t call you ours anymore.”
“Thank you.”
“But then what do we call it now?”
“Ah, that…… please call me us. Please don’t even say respectful words. Please speak at ease. Because the relationship between a trainee and a manager is like that.”
Originally, that’s the way it is. Certainly, as Nauri said, the person at the top of the trainee and manager could be called the manager.
Of course, it’s not a position where a single manager can influence personnel management, but unlike trainees who are raised by the company, managers are employees hired by the company.
A trainee who gives all of his money and effort to the company and a manager who receives money from the company in return for their efforts clearly have an advantage even though they can’t exert any conflict between them.
But I don’t like that.
No matter what others think of the relationship between the manager and the trainee, I had no intention of looking at the trainees in such a general way.
No idol in the world was a trainee in the past, and there is no idol in the world who has never been a trainee.
There was a time when even the best solo singer of the present age, the young lady, was a trainee.
That’s why I had no intention of treating Nauri in a bad way just because I was the manager and Nauri was a trainee.
“I’m going to be comfortable talking anyway, that’s what managers and trainees are like, so don’t be comfortable talking. I want to speak comfortably for other reasons.”
So I will be comfortable talking to Mr. Nauri for other reasons, not because of the relationship between the manager and the trainee.
“Okay, since we want to get close, let’s talk comfortably. From now on, the reason I don’t put ‘nim’ after your name and don’t use honorific words and speak comfortably is because I want to get closer to you, so it’s us.”
“Yes……?”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a manager or a trainee, the human Kang Jin-hyeok wants to get closer to the human Na-uri, so he speaks in short language. Let’s do that we Are you fine?”
I made eye contact, smiled, and asked seriously. We looked at me with blank eyes, opened our mouths a few times, and then nodded.
“Yes……!”
There was a refreshing smile on the corners of our lips as we answered vigorously.
I couldn’t believe that he had been so worried until now. Seeing his fresh smile made me feel better.
Then, I think the title arrangement is now over. As I was about to rush to the broadcasting station, I suddenly remembered one thing, and I turned my gaze back to us.
“Oh, since I wanted to get closer with you, shouldn’t we have a change in our titles too? The manager seems to have a bit of a hard feeling.”
“Yes, yes? Is that so?”
Actually, it was a lie. The title manager was hard, so there was no way I didn’t like it. Because when Ha An calls me, he calls me manager.
But that’s why calling me manager overlaps with Ha An.
Ha Ahn has a strong obsession or possessiveness, so if the title she used to call only for herself overlaps with a new trainee, something will happen.
That’s why I even lied about it and asked for a name change.
“······That, then. Ji, how is Jinhyeok oppa? He said it was a bit hard to call him manager, so I thought it would be nice to call him by that name, and since he’s older, I thought I should use him as an older brother, so Jinhyuk oppa…”
So we asked cautiously with both cheeks blushing and shy faces, and I couldn’t help but answer vigorously with a bang.
“So good!”
I really like it!
After arranging the titles like that, we proudly stepped into the headquarters of Dolnet Broadcasting Station.
