by adminJapan’s Largest Private Broadcasting Station. Fuji CH.
The main PD of ‘Celebrity Zoo’ came out of the bureau chief’s office, rubbing his face wearily. Perhaps because his expression was dark, those waiting outside asked worriedly.
“Main PD-nim, why the long face? Did the planning not get approved? Do we have to start over from scratch?”
The main PD finally showed a smile.
“No. It was just a sigh of relief. The higher-ups are looking very positively at the Sua-ssi special.”
“Oh? The bigwigs for once? That’s great!”
The production team’s faces brightened in an instant.
The reason being, there are quite a few people higher up who don’t like covering things about Korea in a big way on a Japanese national variety show.
The main PD continued.
“The higher-ups know Netflix too. MDD 808 is doing so well these days, it wasn’t hard to persuade them.”
“We’ve overcome the hardest mountain, now only easy things are left. We just need to notify Mystic of the exact date, right?”
“Yes, and let’s get the detailed framework in order. We’re filming in Korea, so we need to prepare thoroughly.”
“…Ugh, I’m doomed for a while.”
“And I’m a little worried about the audience section.”
The main PD closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
Then, the other team members next to him all opened their mouths at once, as if they knew what she was worried about.
“Hey, we should still use a Japanese audience. If the audience is all Korean, viewers in Japan might feel a bit detached.”
“That’s true. Then let’s do that.”
That’s when it happened.
“Main PD-nim! Look at this!”
One of the staff members came running urgently from the other end of the hallway. The main PD gestured as if to say not to worry.
“You don’t have to run so fast. I got proper approval from above. Calm down and let’s go get some food.”
“No, no, that’s not why I came!”
“Then?”
The staff member who had run right up to the main PD held out his phone. A news article was displayed on his phone screen. The problem was that it was in Korean.
The main PD narrowed his brow.
“…It’s a Korean article? How am I supposed to read it?”
“It’s an article about Sua-ssi!”
“What’s it about?”
“Th-that is…. Sua-ssi has alexithymia…!”
The staff member explained the information he had read verbatim. Before long, shock spread across the faces of everyone on the ‘Celebrity Zoo’ production team.
“Sua-ssi has alexithymia?”
“Really?”
While everyone was surprised, the main PD asked.
“Is this real? No, it must be real. Okay, what does the general public in Korea seem to think? Are you able to grasp that too?”
“Of course, there’s a lot of support. Right now, Korean communities are all talking about this.”
“No articles in Japan yet?”
“No. Only in Korea so far!”
“Hmm….”
The main PD was momentarily at a loss for words. Sua-ssi had alexithymia, she was simply amazed.
But on the other hand, she understood.
When they met during the meeting, there was a distinct atmosphere that was different from others. So this was the reason.
She soon made a decision.
“This means a real green light for our variety show. Let’s get to work. Should we go crazy?”
From their point of view, it was simply welcome news.
◈◈◈◈◈
The next day.
The set of ‘Alien Game’ is full of tremendous heat today as well. Director Park Mu-ryong, with a Guan Yu beard, shouted loudly while holding a megaphone.
“NG! Let’s concentrate! Back to the previous scene!”
Thanks to writer Hong Ye-ji’s creativity, extraordinary scenes are being born. The scene currently being filmed is human flicking. They have to push each other out of the space with all their might. If you get pushed out, what awaits is a field of thorns.
Is Sua surviving well?
‘Yes! I am not being filmed, ehehe.’
No? Sua is not filming!
Sua has won by default in terms of the content, so you could say she’s already a winner? Therefore, she is currently sitting on the bench, leisurely watching the filming set.
‘When I’m acting, I’m endlessly nervous, but when I see other people doing it, my body gets itchy. And their efforts look so cool….’
In other words, Suahumut. (Suahumut is like a combination of Sua and Heumut, which is a cute way of saying pleasant.)
Sua tried to fill her mind with such warm thoughts, but unfortunately, she didn’t have much time to do so.
Why?
Because the staff and related people are all talking about Sua!
“Did you see the article about Sua-ssi?”
“Of course, I saw it! I was so surprised!”
“…My heart ached. I thought she was just a genius actor with a wide acting spectrum, but to think that it was all her own effort to understand emotions.”
“We have to treat her better.”
“After reading the article, Sua-ssi doesn’t seem scary anymore. I want to get closer to her.”
Sua perked up her ears.
‘Wh-what? Get closer?’
Sua thought. Is this finally an opportunity for me to have many friends? This situation might be good!
That’s when it happened.
“Sua, do you need water?”
Kim Iseo, with two large hairpins attached to her bangs, appeared holding a bottle of water. Holding it in her small hand, the 500ml plastic bottle looks almost like a 1L bottle.
“I’m okay with water. More than that, the CEO-nim wants to say something to me, right?”
Sua’s understanding of Kim Iseo had now improved slightly.
The CEO-nim always naturally attaches other words before saying what she wants to say. It’s actually not a characteristic of Kim Iseo, but basic social life, but Sua didn’t know.
“First of all, we’ve received a call from ‘Celebrity Zoo.’ They’re planning to film in Korea next month.”
“Korea next month….”
Sua was inwardly nervous. Can I do well?
That’s when it happened. Good news was heard.
“I don’t think you have to think too hard about it. Instead of a full audience, it’s a recorded broadcast, not a live broadcast. A few mistakes are okay.”
“R-really.”
“Of course. Well, I can’t even imagine Sua making a mistake. I wish it were live instead.”
No? Absolutely no! Kim Iseo wouldn’t know how relieved Sua is to hear the words recorded broadcast.
“And one more thing.”
Kim Iseo looks at her phone’s memo pad, then suddenly smiles at Sua with a subtle expression.
“Don’t you have something you’ve forgotten?”
“…Forgotten?”
Sua couldn’t answer easily.
“….”
Forgotten something? Sua has so many things like that….
─It’s too difficult a question for a sunbae. A person who has forgotten one or two things might be able to recall it if they concentrate, but if you ask a person whose daily life is forgetting whether they have forgotten something, how would they know what to answer?
‘Ugh, calling it daily life is too much.’
Sua pushed away her Yu Han Sua and thought. Go away!
“CEO-nim, the question is too abstract.”
“I’m sorry. I just got excited. Look at this.”
Soon, on the phone screen Kim Iseo held out.
[【Sumiho】─ Heart Catching Cover ]
[ #music ] [ #trending 3 ]
An amazing result awaited.
‘Trending video? Me?’
Sua, who only watched MuTube while rolling around in bed during her unemployed days, already knew how great a trending video was.
But now that was her story.
The Sumiho song cover is a trending video.
‘Crazy. Crazy. Crazy…!’
Maybe the VTuber world really is heaven? There’s so much love coming back compared to the attention I put in?
Sua jumped inside, but didn’t show it on the outside and said as calmly as possible.
“3rd place, that’s unexpected.”
“Well, from Sua’s point of view, right?”
But Kim Iseo seemed to understand it slightly differently.
“Don’t worry. The arrangement was good, and Sua’s singing skills are excellent, so I think you’ll soon go up to 1st place. With the current firepower, it’s very possible.”
…That’s not what I meant.
“Besides that, there are many things I want to explain to Sua….”
Kim Iseo glanced at the filming set.
“It seems like there are less than 5 minutes left until Sua’s next filming. I should say the short things first. The use of Sumiho will be important in the future, and I think the next cover is a bit boring to sing alone.”
“Boring to sing alone?”
“Yes. So I was thinking of having you sing with the NeoLive members for the next video, but I’ll ask Sua in advance. Is there anyone who comes to mind when you think of a duet?”
“Someone who comes to mind when you think of a duet….”
Sua thought for a moment.
Soon, a lightbulb lit up in her head.
“…I think there’s one person?”
◈◈◈◈◈
A neatly arranged room.
Rustle─ Rustle─
The sound of flipping script pages fills the space. There is not a single bit of disarray in the eyes filled with concentration. It was Yang Ha-rin, determined again today.
“I have to perfectly understand Kim Yun-kyung. If it’s Kim Yun-kyung, the step-sister of Kim So-hee…. In this situation….”
The script, which was just white paper, is now full of all sorts of fluorescent colors. This is because Yang Ha-rin used various highlighter pens to underline it.
Rustle─ Rustle─
At that time, when she was lost in a trance.
─♩♪♬
A sudden phone notification sound.
“….”
Yang Ha-rin frowned without realizing it.
I thought I had put it on silent, but I didn’t.
She picked up the phone with the intention of turning it off completely, but Yang Ha-rin couldn’t. Instead, she widened her eyes.
“…?”
[ Sender: Rival Lee Sua ]
The person who sent the text was none other than Lee Sua.
