[22:00]

Ding.

“Ah… , it’s time.”

At 10 PM, Episode 5 of NaaA announced the start with the familiar program Bgeum.

As I watched this nervously, Lee Ji-woo told me not to worry.

“Yerin, don’t worry too much. That younger brother belongs to SAV?”

“… yes that’s right. SAV.”

“How thorough and large is SAV? No matter how many mistakes the younger brother made, the company would have taken care of it and put on a show with the broadcasting station. No matter what happens, it will end with a little bit of criticism.”

“… Yes, right?”

“Okay, so don’t worry too much.”

I nodded at Lee Ji-woo’s words.

Yes, Seo Yu-jin’s actions that day were definitely a bit excessive… , Could it be such a big deal?

I calmed down a little after Lee Ji-woo’s words and decided to watch the broadcast.

**

The day the 2nd team competition ended, the broadcasting station.

Ugh-.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Inside the conference room, a meeting was being held to determine the direction of editing for Episode 5 of Naaah.

Ugh-.

But no one was quick to say anything.

“… … .”

This was because PD Shin, who occupied the most senior position in the conference room, had a rare serious expression on his face and was deep in thought.

Ugh-.

Ugh-.

The only thing that fills the silence of the conference room is the sound of the cell phone vibrating.

Ugh-.

“I… , senior.”

In the end, one of the writers who couldn’t see the flood of phone calls spoke carefully to PD Shin, who had his eyes closed.

“I keep getting calls on my phone and your phone.”

Hearing the junior writer’s words, PD Shin closed his eyes and asked quietly.

“… Where are you?”

“SAV.”

“Ha.”

From the end of filming episode 5 of Naaah until now, SAV has continued to try to lobby the Naaah production team.

The reason is that… , Probably to cover for SAV trainee Seo Yu-jin, who had a major accident during filming just moments ago.

If it had been a trainee sent out by SAV simply for the purpose of raising issues, it would not have gone to this extent.

But seeing a manager-level person put in so much effort by mobilizing his personal connections… .

“Chief Jeong, it looks like that woman cares a lot about Seo Yu-jin.”

It seemed like SAV was trying to include Seo Yujin in the next girl group.

“… Seniors. Now you have to choose.”

“… … .”

“How about just covering this up if possible? Of course, if it becomes an issue, the viewership ratings will increase, but the relationship with SAV will become very difficult. In the long run, it would be better to just let this episode go quietly… .”

“… … .”

The younger writer’s words were the right choice when viewed rationally.

You can’t drink sea water just because you’re thirsty.

I don’t know if it’s another agency, but this time, the opponent is SAV.

If this incident upsets SAV and causes a disruption in the supply of SAV celebrities appearing on TV… , it was obvious that this would not just be a problem for the Naaa team, but for the entire broadcasting station.

Accordingly, Shin PD thought about it until the very end… .

“… Yes.”

… A decision was soon made.

“… Seo Yujin. Let’s ‘push’.”

“… … !!”

The production crew was shocked when they heard PD Shin’s answer.

This was because they had worked with Shin PD for a long time and knew exactly what it meant to push.

“Phew~ I’m glad.”

The only one who didn’t know what it meant was the youngest writer.

She breathed a sigh of relief when PD Shin suggested that she support Seo Yu-jin.

“I was actually a fan of Seo Yujin. I also voted, hehe.”

She had always been interested in idols, but fell in love with Seo Yu-jin after seeing her performance in the first team competition.

My favorite… , if not to the extent of Chaae.

‘what… , Watching it this time, it seems a bit cheesy, but… .’

It may be that Seo Yu-jin was simply too motivated, but it didn’t seem like Seo Yu-jin had such a bad personality.

More than anything… , I was concerned about Seo Yu-jin’s age.

‘At 17, I’m the same age as my youngest brother.’

She knows how young 17 is. Young Seo Yu-jin… , She was nervous at the thought that it might be sent for editing.

‘But it looks like the PD is just thinking about giving it a go. ‘Are you more generous than I thought?’

How worried were you when you were first assigned to the new PD division?

Shin PD’s notoriety was widely known even among job seekers.

People say that I’m a person whose viewership ratings are crazy, or that I’m a person who only lives for today.

Still, looking at his current appearance, he seems quite human… , the youngest writer thought so.

“Yes, our youngest writer was a fan of Seo Yujin. We shouldn’t be fans of the performers.”

“… Oh, sorry, sorry. What I just said was just… .”

“No, it’s okay. It’s not a crime to be someone’s fan. Then, shall we try to support Seo Yu-jin in this episode?”

“Yes!”

“… But before that, youngest child, can you give me my phone over there? I think I need to answer the phone.”

“Ah, yes. here… .”

As I handed the phone over, I glanced at it and saw that it said Manager Jeong of SAV on the screen.

“Thank you for bringing it to me.”

“No, senior. Hehe.”

Producer Shin’s face was very kind as he smiled at the youngest writer who gave him the phone.

But the moment PD Shin received a call from Director Jeong… .

“… Yes, it’s Director Jeong.”

“… … ?”

His expression turned cold and his voice was lowered, as if he were a different person.

“Sorry. We’re busy preparing for the broadcast, so it might be difficult to answer the phone. Please wait a little while before we contact you next time. Then I’ll stop now.”

widely.

As soon as PD Shin hung up the phone, the closest junior writer next to him asked him.

“Senior. Seo Yu-jin is included in most of the expected debut teams we selected, so what should we do?”

“You already decided to push it, right? Take it all out.”

… … ?

It was difficult for the youngest writer to understand the conversations of his seniors.

… No, they decided to support Seo Yu-jin, but why are they excluding her from the expected debut group? … why?

And while the youngest writer’s thoughts stopped for a moment, PD Shin spoke to the entire conference room.

“Guys, come to your senses. Since when have we been filming back and forth stock broadcasts? If this problem arises, I will take responsibility for it, so let’s push for it properly.”

“… Yes.”

“I will personally direct the editing of this 5th episode from start to finish, so don’t think about going home for a few days. Let’s get up slowly.”

As soon as PD Shin spoke, the production crew stood up to go do their assigned tasks.

Let’s meet “, to get the highest viewer ratings.”

The new PD always had a lot to laugh about because he was always funny.

But now he looked happier than usual.

**

Who is the performer who usually receives the most screen time on Naaah?

Anyone who has seen Naaah will say, ten, ten, one hundred, one hundred.

The story about me and Yoo has the most volume.

But today was different.

[Seo Yu-jin (SAV): Me, me! I’m good at arm wrestling!]

[Trainee Seo Yujin loses again ㅠㅠ]

[Yeon Hee-kyung (I.M.): I’m good at running 50m. This time I… .]

[Seo Yu-jin (SAV): No, no! I’ll go out this time too! I’m really good at running!]

[But again, Jin Seo Yu-jin is a trainee… .]

At first it only seemed like mild annoyance.

At the sports festival… , A greedy person who goes to all events alone without giving other team members a chance.

Unlike the rants that are always made before starting… , a bravado girl who never won a gold medal in any event.

[Seo Yu-jin (SAV): (with an angry expression) Oh, it’s really annoying!]

[Two teams in a strong atmosphere.]

The scene where Seo Yu-jin couldn’t control her anger and threw her tantrum into the air was edited to make it seem as if Seo Yu-jin was angry at her team.

The way he looks irritated with his older teammates after losing… , it was already beyond the scope of being hateful.

[Trainee Seojin Ahn who fell during the 100m run!]

[Roaring.]

[oh my god… , my knees are sore.]

[Other participants are worried.]

[Smiling trainee Seo Yu-jin… !]

[Q: Why did you laugh then?]

[Seo Yu-jin (SAV): There is one less competitor.]

[…] Haha, trainee Seo Yu-jin, full of competitive spirit!]

“… Lie.”

As soon as I saw that scene on TV, I muttered without even realizing it.

I remember it clearly.

At that time, Seo Yu-jin was upset over the fact that she lost to me in the 100m race… .

‘… Ugh, what is it? … It looks like you fell. ‘Run carefully.’

When he saw the contestant who had fallen, he only made a sad expression from afar and did not laugh because his competitor had disappeared like in the broadcast.

‘… ‘This isn’t it.’

Seo Yu-jin was very competitive and immature, but she was by no means an evil child.

However, Seo Yu-jin in the broadcast… , he continued to show such a venomous appearance that it made people who watched him shiver.

And something really happened in her next episode, when she chose a song for archery.

[Han Si-woo: The song selected by team 2 is… , This is by YW Entertainment girl group ‘22nd Night’!!]

[Trainee Seo Yu-jin’s crumpled expression,]

[Han Si-woo: Seo Yu-jin, participant! How do you feel about selecting the song!]

[Seo Yu-jin (SAV): Ah… , that… , under… .]

[Seo Yu-jin (SAV): Yes… , that… , I don’t like it, but I’ll try my best.]

[Han Si-woo: … … .]

[Producer Han Si-woo’s expression begins to harden.]

I felt a clear sense of malice toward Seo Yu-jin in that various edits were made here.

Plus, a personal interview with Seo Yujin.

[Q: Do you not like the song?]

[Seo Yu-jin (SAV): (immediate answer) Yes, I don’t like it.]

[Seo Yu-jin (SAV): It’s too old… , hmm… .]

After that, Seo Yu-jin was seen explaining something as if time had fast-forwarded.

[Participant Seo Yu-jin seemed to really not like the song;;]

[After that, I talked about the song’s shortcomings for 15 minutes~]

The first generation girl group of the top 3 entertainment agency YW… , it is the 22nd night and there are still many die-hard fans because there are many famous songs.

A song by a legendary group that is no different from a great senior… , That look that looks like a trainee who hasn’t even debuted yet is criticizing… , it could be said that the numerical limiter of the unfavorable stat was literally exceeded.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Lee Ji-woo and I watched Seo Yu-jin with stern expressions.

Sigh-.

Then I suddenly looked at the clock and realized that only 30 minutes had passed.

“… Ah.”

To Seo Yujin, tonight is… , it was clear for a long, long time.

**

A luxury apartment in Gangnam.

Pop.

Seo Yu-jin, who was watching TV blankly, opened her mouth when the screen suddenly went dark.

“… Uh, uh, mom. Why turn off the TV? I’m still looking at it… .”

When Seo Yu-jin trembled and asked, Seo Yu-jin’s mother turned off the TV with the remote control and said with a kind expression.

“… my daughter There’s another filming starting tomorrow. I have to go to bed early today.”

“… Yes, yes, but.”

“… Let’s go to bed early today, Eugene.”

“… … Ugh.”

Because her mother’s expression was strangely stern, Seo Yu-jin nodded and stood up.

“… Eugene.”

“… Huh?”

“… Should I sleep with mom today?”

At her mother’s words, Seo Yu-jin smiled and shook her head.

“… What are you talking about? I’m not.”

“… … .”

“Well, let’s sleep first. Dad said he would come home late today, right? Oh, mom, go to sleep quickly too.”

With those words, Seo Yu-jin opened her door.

And as soon as I went inside… .

dump.

… I sat down on the spot.

‘why… ? why? why… ? Me, I didn’t do that… .’

Seo Yu-jin also did not think of herself as a polite person.

However, her appearance on the broadcast was far beyond the line even when she saw it.

‘Oh, it’s unfair…’ , what is this… .’

What she didn’t say and what she didn’t do is cross-edited and aired.

It was difficult for Seo Yu-jin to control her emotions due to the growing sense of injustice.

And she desperately wanted to resolve that injustice… .

‘What do other people think?’

… I reached for my cell phone.

Her farewell had already been made private according to the company’s guidelines.

She couldn’t bear it because she was curious about people’s vivid reactions… .

‘Woah, this is a place where people freely speak their minds…’ .’

… I moved my finger to a social media platform with a small bird drawn on it.

Seo Yu-jin felt unfair and unfair right now.

There are certainly some among her fans who are aware of the unfairness of the current broadcast and her injustice.

Seo Yu-jin wanted to hear the voices of such fans and receive comfort for her unfair feelings.

‘Yeah, yeah…’ , my fans believe in me… .’

So, Seo Yu-jin found people’s posts about her through the search bar… .

[I just want to push Seo Yujin off the fucking roof.]

Tuk.

As soon as I saw the first post, I lost my grip on my phone.
