Celebrity Life Misunderstood as a Genius

[1] Reverse Betting(1)

Since I was a child, the boundary between likes and dislikes was clear.

Well, doesn’t everyone have something like that?

If something bothers you, you keep seeing it.

No matter how good a singer is, if the singer’s hand movements aren’t good, it’s bad by my standards.

I never watched dramas, movies, or music again without even paying attention to anything else.

Just because it’s not my taste.

The reason was only that.

* * *

How many times have we failed in our 4 teams?

Seven times in a row in just one year.

“Suho, did you get the ratings?”

“Yes. It seems to have come out now.”

“Check it out quickly.”

Management work is, after all, the care and support of artists.

Still, our actors ruined like dogs in every project we catch.

“Please, please this time.”

“Are you up?”

I eagerly checked the ratings table with my fellow employees.

“… 27% of the first broadcast.”

The staff cheered at the low voice that came out of my mouth.

“Kyaaah

“Done!”

“Yes, that’s it!”

“Jeong Soo-ho did the right thing.”

“Thank you.”

From the main director of a top-notch director, a star writer, and an Oscar-winning lead actor.

How much did you run around to put our actor in the supporting role in this work?

“Suho, you’ll get a performance bonus this time.”

“Ah, no.”

“No, man.”

The reward system of Dream Agency was famous in the industry as well.

Recently, I couldn’t even look at the incentives as they went bankrupt.

“Now, everyone pay attention! It’s a dinner party today.”

“Could it be beef!?”

“Of course it’s beef! Let’s call actor Kim too.”

“Eh, at 11 o’clock at night…”

“How many TV viewer ratings have come out now, are you going to sleep?”

“hahahaha. It can’t be.”

Team leader Jin Young-ho gave me a corporate card and patted him on the shoulder.

“Suho, you go out and buy a cake.”

“Yes. Chief!”

“Just come right to the dinner party. A beef restaurant in front of the company.”

“All right!”

How happy would my actor be to meet a manager like me?

At first, he said he didn’t want to work with the manager.

As soon as I asked for this work, he liked it like a child.

Tuck, Tuck—

Steps leaving the company were very light.

Breathe in the cool night air and enjoy the freshness.

“Wow, is the mang team finally escaping?”

How many failures have our team alone made over the past year?

The team leader’s line and director Kim also seem to have difficulty shielding now.

‘If we failed again this time, the real team would have been disbanded.’

Coincidentally, it was around the time I got off my rookie ticket and had the right to speak.

Isn’t it a market where even a star that shines like a star collapses when luck is bad?

A series of bad news for artists who are the core of the company.

Dirty scandals and school violence against the lead actor were commonplace.

With my daughter, with my daughter-

I entered the cafe scratching the itchy back of my neck.

Soon, I checked the good cake and told the staff.

“Give me this.”

“Yes.”

The two workers had a pleasant conversation while packing the cake.

“The drama was so much fun.”

“That’s right. It’s not a joke from the first broadcast.”

“What’s that actor’s name?”

“Oh, I think I know who you’re talking about.”

“That, ugh.”

Unknowingly, I intruded into the conversation between the two.

“Are you Kim Hyun-seong?”

“Right! You know!”

“Yes. hahahaha.”

Okay. I am an actor.

I’m not bragging, it’s a fact.

“Here, the packing is done.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

After the first broadcast, I felt better because I received favorable reviews in real life.

“Wow, you’ve finally escaped the jinx.”

At some point, predictions related to the entertainment industry were never right.

There were no exceptions in the entertainment industry, at the crossroads where likes and dislikes were divided.

If you’re sure you’re going to fail, you’ll rise, and if you have a premonition of success, you’ll explode.

“The jinx is broken for the first time.”

It’s shit and nabal, and this work is a well-prepared table.

The director is perfect like this, but of course he has no choice but to float.

That’s right. The jinx is meant to be broken.

Something shouldn’t explode this time either.

Otherwise,

Profit-

The sight of me putting candles on a cake and lighting it makes me so shabby.

“Surprise?”

In the heavy atmosphere, the cold eyes of the team members were stuck.

I thought it was a festival, but who knew it would be a funeral.

Somehow, the back of my head felt itchy today.

“Suho.”

“Yeah?”

“… Turn off the lights.”

“Yep.”

* * *

Wow, what a fucking life.

Dispatch bastards are fucking diligent even in the middle of the night.

If it exploded tomorrow morning, I would have eaten cake instead of swearing.

“Aren’t these bastards sleeping?”

Early in the morning, I sipped beer in my room and checked the news on the Internet.

[SBC drama ‘The Unknown Poet’ director and writer replacement confirmed! Because of that, the next shooting schedule is in a state where there is no commitment…]

“What animal kingdom is this?”

I was well aware of the filthiness of the entertainment industry.

What is the affair between the director and the writer?

“Siberoms. Caught or not.”

I heard that even an unlucky guy like me will break his nose if he falls backwards.

The ratings for the first broadcast exploded, but the drama also exploded.

Knock, Knock-

At that time, a close brother who lives nearby knocked on the front door.

“Jaeha, are you here?”

“Brother, what is this?”

“I just called for a drink.”

“Didn’t the drama go well?”

“…”

I quietly handed over my smartphone and showed a news article.

“Aha.”

Aha, don’t be fooled by this.

“Just have a drink.”

“Okay.”

Jaeha stopped talking about the damned entertainment industry and tilted his glass.

A relationship that was held thanks to her deceased grandmother.

The reason she became close with the gold spoon was rather special.

“Why did you bring all the red ginseng?”

“Oh, it’s your brother’s grandmother’s anniversary in a little while.”

“It is, but.”

For a simple red ginseng set, the golden packaging was very luxurious.

“Why did my father always take care of me like this?”

“Ah, thanks to my brother’s grandmother, my dad’s company became a jackpot.”

“…”

It’s not something I would say to my late grandmother.

Apart from that, she doesn’t believe in shamans.

“It’s just a coincidence. Do you believe in superstition?”

“No, because you were very generous.”

“Well. I don’t believe in that.”

“What is that…”

To be honest, he died when I was very young, so my memory is fuzzy.

The area around the back of the neck that tickled every time the ‘chop’ was activated.

Her grandmother, she was told, had similar sensations often.

“Enough about that, Jae-Ha, how is her sister? Isn’t the CSAT over?”

“Oh, Jiyu? You joined my father’s company as an intern a few days ago.”

“Looks like you’ve lost your exam.”

“Yeah. I recognized him from the time he was just a fan of idols.”

“…”

I do the same thing as my brother.

What kind of high school seniors are idol fans?

“These days, I hear they’re looking for new idols to follow.”

“That’s absurd.”

If that’s the case, why did you ruin the exam?

“You know the Q&G label, too?

“It’s a subsidiary of our company.”

“They say they’re launching two girl groups there.”

“Two teams?”

Soon, Jae-Ha tapped her smartphone and showed her some pictures to me.

“The trainees who have been revealed so far.”

A music production company specializing in idols under Dream Agency.

Information that the two teams will debut over a certain period of time.

“What is the concept? The moon and the sun.”

“Everybody does one of these these days.”

“I’m going to cringe.”

Two concept girl groups, Luna and Solar.

On the one hand, it has a sophisticated and cool girl crush image.

The other side is a lovely cutie youthful image.

Apparently, the growth potential of the profitable girl crush concept was much higher.

“Who do you think will rise more?”

“Luna.”

“Usually girl crush is the trend.”

“Therefore.”

Seeing that Jaeha’s younger sister also likes girl groups.

“Aren’t male fans usually good at virtue?”

“Eh, what am I doing?”

“…That’s you.”

“?”

In today’s market, girl groups have to attract both male and female fans.

In that sense, the lovely concept of securing only male fans had clear limits.

Soon after, he scratched the itchy back of his neck and opened his mouth.

“I’m on the right track. They’re going to float.”

“A moonlight girl group?”

“Uh. Even if this side fails, will the middle go?”

“…”

Q&G will also weigh in moderation and throw away Solar, which doesn’t make money.

Whether it’s working on an album or filming a music video, capital is always limited.

“Brother, I can’t do it. I want to invest in a sun stone.”

“Sun Stone? Solar?”

“Uh. That way it will open.”

Jaeha continued the conversation with a serious expression.

“Because if hyung says he’s floating, everything will be ruined.”

“What is it, do you want to fight?”

“No, this is steam. Brother is the king of destruction.”

“The pack is not coming.”

In the meantime, all the works and celebrities that I had a good time with were bursting out.

What if you always raised the other side’s hand at that time?

‘If only I had picked the one that would ruin me…’

Suddenly, she remembered something her grandmother had told her long ago.

In the past, so far away that I can’t even remember how old I was.

– Suho, when the back of your head suddenly tickles…

It was so long ago, I don’t remember the back story.

Isn’t this feeling common to everyone?

‘… When it tickles me.’

At that time, she might have just been telling me to think the other way around.

“Brother, but will you be okay at work tomorrow?”

“What.”

“You’ve been screwed eight times now.”

“…”

It wasn’t just me who failed, my team did.

In fact, it was not something that could be avoided by avoiding it.

“What, would you like our team to disappear?”

“I see. It’s not like I’m just getting a job, right?”

“… With the Q&G label?”

Even speaking with my mouth, it’s nonsense.

hahahaha. Isn’t hyung going to be Luna’s manager by tomorrow?”

“Do you want to go back? Just do verse 1.”

“Okay!”

No way they’re catching people.

* * *

Ha, that’s why I told you to do only verse 1.

The team atmosphere was chaotic from morning.

Team is gone

I was relegated.

The boss has been cut.

“Suho Jeong is part of the Q&G label management team.”

“… Suddenly?”

“They took care of you because you graduated from Korea University.

“Ah.”

The team leader patted me on the shoulder and gave me warm comfort.

“It’s not your fault, so don’t beat yourself up.”

“…”

From a management point of view, it was best to recommend it.

It was entirely the actors and top performers who chose the work.

‘Why is this our fault!’

I wanted to argue that this is really nonsense.

I couldn’t even speak in front of the team leader.

“Chief, are you really quitting?”

“Honey, I’m moving the company on good terms.”

“Still.”

The director Kim line, which was caught by the team leader, was weaker than expected.

I hit the last blow on the precarious rope.

“Sorry.”

“Why are you sorry, man?”

“…”

Could this have happened had it not been for my jinx?

“Don’t worry, I’ve called all the departments my team members go to.”

“… Thank you.”

A heavy sense of responsibility pressed hard on my chest.

Especially, it seems like it’s my fault that the final ruin happened.

“Suho, originally, the entertainment industry is unpredictable.”

“Yes. I felt it too. Painfully.”

“I’m working hard at the Q&G label.”

“… All right.”

A charm that can be felt even without adding modifiers, in other words, star quality.

Crying and laughing at those beggarly subjective words was the reality of the Enter version.

‘At least this work shouldn’t have failed.’

No, even if you fail, it’s really not like this.

It was a common thought among all of our team members, including myself.

I brought a project that I was certain would succeed.

In the meantime, I have never relied on ‘intuition’ for public work.

Because I can’t entrust my actor’s future to mere jinxes.

“Manager.”

“Uh?”

I scratched the itchy back of my head and remembered the past days.

I kept following the guidelines of the dream agency, and everything went bankrupt.

‘At the Q&G label…’

I’m just going to live my life the way I like it.

What else would you do other than get fired?

There’s nothing to lose in the yard that’s taken to the bottom anyway.

“I’m really trying to do it right at the new company.”

“Yes. Your posture is good.”

Now I’m going to unconditionally reverse.
