Backstage (1)
As ＜Backstage＞ started filming in earnest, contents such as publicity stills and short videos of the filming site poured out.
-[Backstage] Revealed a surprise still cut 3 hours before the airing!
There were two photos, one was a photo of President Ji Kwang-hyun and Yoon Jay creating a heavy atmosphere and creating a confrontational angle, and one was a photo of Udang Tang Tang Ikaros, whose choreography seemed out of sync just by looking at the photo.
└ Wow, the atmosphere is better than I thought.
└ If you see that the producers are really good at spreading content
└ No, but isn’t the atmosphere too different?
└Yoonjae and Jigwanghyeon, the atmosphere went crazy
└Ah Junseo soooo
Until then, viewers did not expect much from ＜Backstage＞.
There were no special reasons, such as because my favorite came out, because I was interested in the idol drama genre, or because there was nothing to watch.
Broadcasters also thought of ＜Backstage＞ as just a gateway to acting idols.
[I didn’t know that Yoon Jae would play the lead role. I just thought a halfway rookie would do it.]
[Iknow, right.]
Still, there were many reactions that Yoonjae’s choice was unexpected.
Yoon Jae was a very rare actor.
[There are a lot of actors, and idols are pouring out. Dramas and movies don’t have as much of an impact as before.]
[Do you know what the future hopes of kids these days are? My Tuber and Influencer.]
It was expected that there would be no top stars as before, as My Tube and OTT contents have been pouring out and people’s interests have diversified, but YoonJ broke that prejudice.
They secured a fandom equal to that of idols and gained publicity with only a handful of filmmakers. There was even talk of the second coming of a former youth star.
[Did you do it because of your brother?]
[No matter how close they are, they are at an inflection point in their careers, so…?]
[The agency said it was Lee Seo-won. So maybe it’s a strategy?]
Still, Buster and I&B are so popular that not only the drama community but also the K-pop community ran the show in real time.
– start
– What are you expecting from this?
After the advertisement, the first episode of ＜Backstage＞ began. In the first scene, Yoon J and Seo Kun-woo appeared in a luxury car in front of a large building.
– The face is paradise
-and! CEO!
– It looks like it will appear on the cover of a romantic magazine.
The beautiful wrinkles between his eyebrows expressed that his personality was sensitive and not easy going. Seo Geon-woo went to work, followed closely by the secretaries.
“The atmosphere at work from moving in is brutal.”
“Did you do the same thing this time?”
“AA Steel, which was incorporated as a subsidiary this time? Restructuring is not going to be a joke.”
The conversation between the employees who were watching Seo Gun-woo’s runway at the cafe on the first floor makes us guess what kind of person he is.
“I’m cold-hearted because I’m afraid I’m not the president’s son.”
“Shhh, you don’t like the word ‘chairman’s son’.”
“How are you? Besides, the director also created his own faction to keep the chairman in check, and it caused an uproar.”
“Is that okay?”
“Chairman these days, rumors about this and that are not good.”
Seo Geon-woo. The son of the chairman of Heonju Group, which became huge by devouring various companies like octopus feet, and the prince who raises the claws hidden from the chairman.
“But since he’s the son of the president, wouldn’t he succeed if he just stayed silent?”
“This is what I heard from a friend in the secretary office, but the president has another late son. I heard the chairman is trying to work on the succession to his son?”
“Ah, the adulterous woman’s son?”
“Shh. You have to be really careful with that.”
In this way, the current situation was summarized through the conversation with the employees.
Recently, the chairman has something to save himself from, and Seo Geon-woo is threatening the chairman by creating a faction in order not to lose his position to his younger brother.
Seo Kun-woo visited the chairman right after work.
“father. You called.”
“Someone in the company would have told me to call you Chairman, right?”
The atmosphere of Chairman Seo sitting in the office is heavy. Seo Kun-woo also exuded momentum that was not inferior to him.
-Hey, the smoke is crazy.
-? What is an idol drama?
-Suddenly became a political noir st.
There was something about the two people’s acting that controlled the atmosphere even without any special lines.
“Gunwu.”
“The company calls me Director Seo.”
“Let’s stop now.”
“It was the president who started it first.”
After several tense conversations, the chairman first made a sign of reconciliation. I know what you want, so stop nailing yourself.
“There are conditions.”
“······What is it?”
“There is an entertainment company that was recently acquired by the entertainment division, so try raising an idol from there.”
“yes?”
what do you mean all of a sudden? Chairman Seo seduced his son, who still did not understand, by offering him a stake in Heonju, which was buried in another company.
“It’s not my area of expertise.”
“If you want to do it, do it. You’ve got too many enemies lately with hostile takeovers. As if to cool your head.”
It is disapproving that Chairman Seo is not a person to step down like this, but the bait of a stake in Heonju Products is too big.
Seo Kun-wu, who replied that he would understand and withdrew, and the secretary approached Chairman Seo, who remained in the office.
“President. Can I leave it like that? What if I just do it roughly and come back quickly?”
“Do you really think he would?”
“yes.”
“He can’t do that easily.”
“why?”
Because it’s pretty weak. Chairman Seo glanced at the profile of Ikaros, an idol belonging to a small and medium-sized entertainment company recently acquired by an entertainment company affiliated with the group. Seo Ji-hoo’s profile was on the front page.
‘What are you thinking?’
Seo Geon-wu, shaking his head nervously because he did not know the circumstances, entered my office and called the secretary.
“Secretary Yoo, please investigate and send me everything related to the Enter division.”
“The Enter division? Why all of a sudden······.”
“The president saw me and told me to represent there.”
“Suddenly, Enter? Can you smell this?”
Secretary Yoo, who came to the office with a bunch of materials related to the entertainment division, serves as a supportive role for Seo Gun-woo as a licorice supporting actor in ＜Backstage＞.
“I was told to increase the sales of idols there, is this correct?”
“What is your idol name?”
“Icarus? Do you think they have a chance?”
“To the extent I haven’t heard of them, they look like kids who are completely… stuck in the deep sea.”
Secretary Yoo picked out the profiles of the Ikaros members and handed them to Seo Gun-woo.
“Do you know anything?”
“Let’s see… the recent album sales are 2,000 copies.”
“Are you high?”
“It’s low for an idol these days.”
“You mean we have to increase the sales of these kids by 10 times….”
“Honestly, would it be faster for the CEO to debut?”
“ha······.”
Seo Geon-woo quickly skimmed through Icarus’ profile, but hesitated at the last page.
Seo Ji-hoo, the leader of Ikaros. and······.
[Gunwu. Let’s live with us.]
[Hyung, can’t we go?]
A brief flashback scene passes.
‘My younger brother.’
The mother, who divorced due to his father’s affair, wanted to live with his two sons, but it was Seo Gun-woo who voluntarily went to his father’s side. And young Seo Ji-hoo anxiously watched his older brother leave the house.
“You knew I wouldn’t be able to organize it in the first place.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“why?”
“I have my brother.”
“Are you the CEO’s brother? Other than Seo Hyun-oh?”
“He is not my brother.”
The cool-headed ambassador said that a younger brother who threatens his position is not a younger brother.
“How did you ask me to investigate the entertainment company?”
“That’s… there is no exact evidence yet, but if you look at this… the flow of funds is strange.”
Seo Kun-woo, who read the document slowly, frowned.
Chairman Seo has been making a lot of suspicious movements lately. While working on succession to his half-brother, he collected slush funds using several companies under Entersa. There is just no evidence yet.
‘Are you saying you’re going to deal with the slush fund that’s going to explode anyway, by tying it up with me?’
He probably lost money in the process of taking over Icarus’ company. He had many intentions to put the troublesome eldest son who had exposed his claws to the representative seat and to slit his throat instead if the slush fund gate exploded later.
“It’s like they’re going to tie me up here and send me off.”
“yes?! I hope it can’t be.”
“Secretary Yoo knows our president well.”
“The idea of tying up a real son to send him away in his own slush fund shucking… I really don’t like it.”
“If you’re not careful, you’ll get hurt, isn’t it the same in any society?”
“It’s the same as the representative.”
No, my father is soaking himself, so why are you so calm? Secretary Yu was shocked. In the meantime, Seo Geon-wu tapped the desk with his fingers and was lost in thought.
‘It’s an open trap, but…’
But that doesn’t mean there’s no sharp trick to get out of the trap.
“Let’s just go and see.”
You have to crouch down and wait for the right time.
***
That’s how Seo Kun-woo visited Ikaros’s old practice room.
“Why are you calling all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know.”
Suddenly called, Icarus was confused to hear that the company had been sold to another company, and that a new CEO was coming.
At the beginning of his debut, he had great ambitions to chew the world as an idol, but now, after living as a ruined idol for 6 years, he lived as if he didn’t exist and waited for the contract expiration date later.
-Wow, but it’s a bit disappointing to see Yoonjae and Ji Kwanghyun’s acting
-It’s not that I can’t do it. On the contrary, I’m surprisingly good at it.
-Yoon Do-joon is pretty good, right?
-Listen to the fact that I can’t act, it’s because I’m aggro.
The actors who played Icarus were quite good. However, the real-time response window was already dizzy because the main body is a very famous idol, and a person who is good at it like Yoon J came out and looked rather protruding.
“I will introduce myself later. Let’s see your skills.”
“yes?”
“Let’s try the song you performed on the stage most recently.”
Icarus moved awkwardly, but since it was the words of the new CEO, he turned on the accompaniment and took his position.
“ouch.”
“What, why are you here?”
“Isn’t this my place?”
-Is it already strange?
– It’s perfect that he’s a real mischievous person hahahaha
In the meantime, secretary Yoo’s narration comes out.
(First of all, the first member. Lim Do-yoon. He’s a rapper, but his skills are good. The visuals are great.)
The actor is a new actor who debuted at the end of last year. As Lim Do-yoon is forced to dance by Seo Gun-woo, a short video of what he did during his hiatus passes by.
(The problem is… I’m very cubic. I like games, so I make a lot of mistakes when I’m friendly with streamers.)
The group itself wasn’t popular, so it didn’t become a big topic. However, in future plans, if Ikaros becomes famous, he will be promoted to Bunkk first.
Seo Gun-woo sighed and looked at the other members.
(How is he?)
(Lee Tae-in. Sub vocalist. He is very unique.)
Ikaros and Seo Geon-wu, who are watching it with frustration, change the screen again. A fan signing event with few fans.
Problem is, no fan service. No matter what they say, they say ‘Oh really?’ and ignore it openly.
(Is that okay for fans?)
(No way. Male idols are in the fan business. Next, Kim Yoon-jae is a bit of a hit.)
Detailed explanations have been replaced with short videos.
He personally keeps in touch with fans he likes, and tries to get contact information by sending SNS DMs to people he wants to connect with. So it was a truck the size of a pine egg cracker.
“ha······.”
Seo Kun-woo sighed spontaneously when he saw Kim Yoon-jae sprained.
(Jihoo, he really works hard alone.)
(was it?)
(Don’t you know that he’s a younger brother?)
(My parents divorced, and he grew up with his mother.)
Seo Ji-hoo was in charge of the group’s production alone, choreographed, and created its own content.
In the meantime, there is no group income, so I have to work part-time. The modifier boy head was perfect. The problem is that the group is not very well known.
(The last member is Cha Noah. This is the member the CEO should pay attention to the most.)
(Why? Looking at the data, he was active in acting and variety shows.)
(The biggest problem is that he has already opened his mind to the group.)
The actor who plays the role of Cha Noah is Yoon Do-joon.
Looking at the simple paperwork, the hope of this group was Cha Noah, who is at least gaining recognition.
However, I was already thinking about changing to a company with good conditions as I was already going to another agency.
-It’s sh*t.
“It’s sh*t.”
Seo Gun-woo’s next line matched someone’s real-time reaction .
