Oh, it’s a problem, it’s a problem.
I finally got up and woke up my roommate Shin Ji-woon.
“Jiwoon. Hey Jiwoon. wake up It’s a big deal.”
“why?”
Shin Ji-woon, who had fallen asleep, quickly woke up. I said.
“You already posted something on the X-Bus. Will it be fixed?”
“… … Did you say something bad happened?”
“Wake you up.”
“Crazy, really.”
Shin Ji-woon muttered and laid back on the blanket again. Without giving up, I turned on the flash on my phone and shook Shin Ji-woon.
“I didn’t say I love you to the sunshine. Can I use it now? more stellar? what do you think about it.”
For the crime of being born 8 months later than me, Shin Ji-woon woke up swallowing a curse. I showed the X bus to Shin Ji-woon, who was cursing with his eyes.
“No, before. Did Minjo tell you to write that you love him? But on the contrary, you wrote that you love me. I didn’t think it had a different meaning before, but when I lay down and think about it, it has a completely different meaning.”
“… … Brother, can’t you just curse once?”
“No.”
“Only five seconds of palm time. I’ll finish the cursing you want to do in 5 seconds.”
“Yeah, no. If you want to sleep again, listen to my advice.”
“Hey, X feet… … .”
“Did you curse at me?”
“Is it possible?”
Shin Ji-woon said angrily and picked up the phone. Then he looked at the X bus and asked.
“Did you not read the comments?”
“uh.”
“So, you woke me up to worrying about things like this. I will return.”
“It’s like this.”
“Just sleep.”
Shin Ji-woon returned the phone and put the blanket back on.
“This bastard has no respect for his brother.”
I grumbled, but I’m sorry I woke you up, so I went out to the living room to go back to sleep without the light on my phone.
Sitting on the sofa and looking at the living room with all the clothes on, I think I need to move soon. When I first joined, I needed one more room.
I’ll be staying here forever, so I’ll have to ask the boss to get a bigger dorm. Hi-Hi.
I was thinking about going back to my room, but Sunjae Park came out as if I was awake by the light.
“This brother is here again.”
Park Seon-jae mumbled in his sleep and pushed me toward the room. Then, with a face that couldn’t even open his eyes, he laid me down and covered me with a blanket up to my neck.

Once I lay down, it was very strange.
“Maknae, what are you doing?”
When I asked about it then, Seon-jae Park’s eyes widened and asked.
“yes? Were you awake?”
“… … Are you sure you were awake?”
“Gulkuman. good night.”
Park Seon-jae spoke moderately and left the room.
I can’t sleep anymore because it’s ridiculous.

Cold air was flowing on the 8th floor where VMC headquarters, TYT, was located.
PD Park Kyung-seok felt that he was moving in the direction of recovery after arranging himself as if cutting his tail this time as in the previous manipulation case.
If the problem with the manipulation of Kook Seon-ah hadn’t happened, the connections that would have been caught behind the scenes were split and there was no line to catch them.
In the end, all provocative editing was for the benefit of the company. When you are pressured to raise the ratings, when there is a problem, you have to solve it yourself. In such a case, PD Park Kyung-seok flagged that the company would not be able to protect it, but that it was trying to get rid of it as soon as possible.
‘I can’t end it this way.’
I couldn’t take all the responsibilities and leave. It was a matter of livelihood, but it was also about his honor. He couldn’t bear to take responsibility for all of this.
The reason VMC became more concerned about First Light-related public opinion was because VMC wanted to use it in connection with the two debut group members remaining in First Light’s own agency. With First Light on the rise, the plan became clearer.
‘Then what does the other person do?’

Of the 9 members of the debut group, except for the 6 first light members, two of them are active or are preparing for a re-debut, but the whereabouts of the other have not been known at all. I was told how the music awards crew was contacting me, but the exact progress was not known.
The other two had score manipulation, but it was also vague to say that one of them was, in fact, a complete manipulation. It is true that the responsible PD had a secret meeting with the president of the member’s agency, and it is true that the member’s volume was overwhelming from the beginning of the series, but the result was not fabricated.
And one more thing. What I was curious about was Jung Hae-won’s contract process. There was also no fact that ‘victims are not completely innocent’ in crushing public opinion. PD Park Kyung-seok was looking for a good number.
TYT Music Contents Headquarters, Director Kim Joo-cheol, was sitting on a parachute due to various luck, so there was pressure to solidify his position by doing something. If there were any, it was someone to listen to.
In the eyes of the industry, TRV’s contract with Jung Hae-won was nothing more or less than ‘to attract aggro’. Anyone in the entertainment industry could have noticed that Jung Hae-won’s sudden joining was a means to spread the name of First Light in a bad way.
PD Park Kyung-seok was desperately trying to figure out the process of signing the contract with TRV by mobilizing all his personal connections.
Fortunately, information about Jung Hae-won’s contract period came in through a network of reporters.
6 month contract.
By the end of this year, the contract renewal was not far away.
Judging from the current atmosphere, it was an upward trend that could be seen even after renewing the contract early. It was clear that TRV wanted to hide it as quietly as possible, and report it after the contract renewal was completed. If that fact is known before the contract renewal, the fans will feel strange.
I don’t know exactly why I signed a six-month contract, but it was bound to get fleshed out.
‘This might work.’
PD Park Kyung-seok stood in front of the general manager’s office and thought.
* * *
As soon as I woke up in the morning, I sat on the sofa in the hostel and turned on the X bus.
“yes?”
There were 10,000+ comments. I’ve never seen this number before.
Is there something wrong?
“… … uh. It is a foreign language.”
When I clicked translate, most of the comments were supportive.
[Don’t lose to the devil editing]
[What you did to a 16-year-old deserves punishment]
Because I was 16 when I was just Kuk Seon-ah, it is written that I am 16, but I feel something strange because the age I perceive is different.
Korean comments are just like good comments. It was the first time in my life I had ever heard the word love so many times.
I read each comment slowly and meticulously.
[Haewon, did you sleep well? It’s very cold today, so dress warmly. Padding is fine too!]
[Did you eat breakfast? You can’t skip meals!]
[I will be by your side for the rest of my life]
[Trust us, Haewon!]
believe us
I’ll be on your side
it feels so weird
I accidentally clicked on the feed page while reading the comments, and the vibe there was completely different.
[Don’t say you’re sorry to Hae-won, to a child who is just having a hard time]
[It’s just that it’s woven to help hahahaaha]
[Existing Fans They are fans who have changed a lot in mentality since the days of Seon-ah Kook. There is no reason to listen to these kinds of voices from the influx of The Rising Sunshine]
[That’s why they don’t know what Haewon says hahahaahaha]
Existing First Light fans are based on Kuk Seon-ah’s Group C, but after The Rising, fans began to flow in, and it was a bit confusing.
“Well.”
As I gain more experience, will I know how to mediate in this case?
If there is a senior idol, I thought I would like to discuss it.
It would be nice to get to know the seniors at TRV, but since First Light didn’t train in TRV, they didn’t seem to think of me as a junior. Most of them are not very active, and they have rarely met each other at work.
Park Hee-young, the only singer I can tell everything about, is a trot singer, so the way she treats the fandom is completely different from ours.
As I was reading the comments, Ahn Joo-won, who got up the second time, came out to the living room. Ahn Joo-won glanced at my phone and asked.
“Why do you read the comments thoroughly?”
“The sun is fighting. Upset.”
At that, Ahn Joo-won smiled and said.
“If you put it up literally, you wouldn’t fight.”
“Well… … . It cannot be.”
“Is not it. It’s not funny.”
I was talking with Ahn Joo-won, and I remembered what happened yesterday and asked.
“Oh, Joo Won. But am I sleepwalking?”
“why?”
“No, I was wandering around at night, and the youngest said something like this again.”
“ah… … . I’m not sleepwalking. A few days ago when we had a late night snack in our living room. You went in to sleep, then suddenly got up, crouched on the veranda and went back to sleep.”
“uh? Hey, that’s creepy.”
“Oh, I was really scared. Anyway, one time?”
“Don’t speak.”
“It’s nothing special.”
I say that, but as soon as I said that something serious happened yesterday, I can understand why Shin Ji-woon was overly surprised and woke up. I said stretching my neck.
“It’s because I’m tired.”
“Because I have to exercise. Let’s get up early and go exercise.”
“Ah, starting tomorrow.”
“Hae-won.”
Ahn Joo-won said with a serious and serious face.
“You don’t exercise like this, and one day you are dragged by Hyo-seok? I did.”
“… … uh.”
“To make sure that never happens… … .”
Somehow, from one day on, Ahn Joo-won knew that he was working out hard. It looked like he was trying not to get caught by Han Hyo-seok.
If you don’t watch it, it’s to be expected. Dude, I can do this. can’t lose If you make up your mind to do it, you do it. I must have squeezed my muscles while saying… … . I have been doing ballet for a long time, so the concept of basic endurance is different from ours.
I was completely persuaded and forced to follow Ahn Joo-won’s gym.
And Ahn Joo-won was right. If I hadn’t started exercising, I would have been behind in the middle of the concert. hahahaaha.
Exercise was the solution to all my worries. Since I’m sweating all the way out, it feels like my worries weren’t a big deal.
In the end, the solution is for us to be good on stage. I know there are idols I like too. After seeing a good stage, I am so busy talking about the stage that I don’t have time to fight.
And I’m pretty sure we did that stage in The Rising Finals.
* * *
The last episode of The Rising started with high topicality.
TRV staff gathered in one place and watched the final episode in a tense atmosphere.
This stage was more important than any stage First Light has ever shown. For idols, the most decisive thing to solidify the hearts of fans who flowed in through topical or anything was the stage.
The atmosphere of the First Light fandom right now cannot be said to be good. And at this time, it was also the stage that could turn the attention of the fans at once.
Perhaps because it was the center of the topic, Jung Hae-won’s reaction was captured quite a lot in the final round. One of the staff murmured.
“Haewon has a lot of expressions.”
The expression on his face showed that he was enjoying the stage of the other team. He continued to look at the stage with his eyes shining with an extremely cold face.
And the second stage of the final mission.
‘Matthaios’ appeared on the black screen with colorful typography, and then ‘Matthew’ appeared again in Korean. And along with the VCR filmed by Shin Ji-woon at the cathedral, I heard an a cappella made by Park Seon-jae with humming.
In this intro, the real-time reaction of the monitor screen floating next to it was already exploding. And the verse 1 verse began.
[Dance of love as pure as a flower blooms]
[When the voice of an angel is not you]
[What was the love I promised]
There, the stage stopped for a while, and Jung Hae-won’s interview continued.
-This is a song about a faithful man named Matthew who asks God for forgiveness after he has committed a sin for the sake of his lover. Not a sin, but the fact that I have someone I love more than God.
Then Shin Ji-woon, who was sitting next to him, said absurdly.
– They said it was ironic that I went to church.
-Yeah, it doesn’t suit you very well. image.
As he giggled as he said that, an employee asked a colleague next to him.
“… … Why do you look so genius? Are your arms bent inward?”
“How do you know that I bake inside too?”
“Ah, indeed.”
And the stage continued again.
