    [Star Catch Exclusive/ Lee Sua, First Song Performance for Soldiers at the Comfort Train… Explosive Reaction]

    It didn’t even take 30 minutes for similar articles to flood the media after Star Catch’s article was released.

    【Korean Media】

    [Lee Sua Coolly Forgoes Salary and Performs at the Comfort Train. ‘I Wanted to Give Strength to the Soldiers.’]

    [Soldiers Rave About Lee Sua’s Good Songs.]

    The fact that Sua, who has high stock these days, specifically performed at the Comfort Train with no profit margin itself is a heartwarming story, and even her singing was good, so it’s inevitable that attention would be drawn to it.

    Other media companies that belatedly heard this news also frantically wrote similar articles. To receive the trickle-down effect.

    From Mystic’s perspective, it was something to welcome with open arms. After all, it means that interest in Sua is growing.

    ─I’m curious about the song, lol. To be honest, even if she sings without a soul, it has its own cute charm.

    ─Isn’t it because she sings well that these articles are pouring out? The key is how well she did.

    ─The Comfort Train live will be released later ㅠ How do I wait until then?

    ─She’s about to debut in Japan, and if she even sings well, she’ll go with a lot of buzz…. Is she going to aim for Hollywood later? ㄴ That’s too far ahead ㄴ What’s too far ahead? I feel like she’s going to do something big.

    ─It all depends on whether she sings well. If the song is terrible, she might get backlash for no reason. If she gets this much attention and there’s nothing, I’ll just be angry.

    ◈◈◈◈◈

    The interest in Sua isn’t just hot in Korea.

    It’s the same in Japan. But the topic is different.

    While Korea is currently having a heated debate about Lee Sua’s singing, Japan is still hung up on the topic of “alexithymia” and talking about it.

    Mystic wasn’t just sitting still either, of course.

    They immediately came up with countermeasures, but the problem was that the answer wasn’t easy to come by. Kim Iseo was worried.

    ‘Going to the hospital would be easy, but for Sua, going back to the hospital itself could be a scar. How should I bring it up…’

    But she was soon able to finish her worries.

    Why? Because Sua readily gave a clear answer.

    “CEO nim, I’ll just go to a local hospital in Japan.”

    “….”

    A beat later, Kim Iseo’s eyes widened.

    She jumped up and looked at Sua.

    “Sua, are you really okay with that?”

    “Yes. I don’t know for sure, but…. It feels like only we’re getting hurt if we keep taking on this problem.”

    Going to the hospital?

    Sua wasn’t afraid anymore.

    Worried about being exposed for lying? I don’t even do that!

    Because….

    ‘I need to get a script.’

    Yeah, it’s over if I just get a script.

    This was, of course, Yu Han-sua’s advice, and it was very clear.

    In the end, it’s a game of deceiving the doctor, right? Yeah, I’m confident in that. Sua’s job is an actress, and she has special benefits in her hands.

    ‘If it’s at a level that can’t be undone, I’ll just deceive the whole world.’

    In other words, Sua’s secret plan?

    . . . . .

    Soon, an article broke in the Japanese media.

    【Japanese Media】

    [Mystic Faces the Situation Head-On, Ahead of Japanese Debut…. Willing to Visit a Hospital if Desired Locally.]

    The reaction was, of course, explosive.

    【Japanese Community】

    ─Facing the situation head-on, wwww. Well, there’s no reason for a named agency to lie in the first place.

    ─Japanese netizens, reflect. Making a pitiful kid visit the hospital one more time for no reason. I think she’ll get hurt. ㄴ She won’t feel it because of alexithymia, it’s okay. ㄴ You’re really….

    ─Is it really solidifying into an alexithymia atmosphere? To be honest, it’s amazing. Because all I’ve seen of alexithymia is in manga, wwww.

    ─Sua-ssi, your looks and attributes are like an anime character. It doesn’t seem like you’re a real person. Amazing.

    ─Prove it cleanly and show us good activities in Japan! I became a fan after MDD 808! ─There are a lot more white-haired people in Shinjuku these days. It’s already starting to become a trend among young people.

    Since the internet is burning brightly, this atmosphere was naturally known to the broadcasting station, and the conference room of ‘Celebrity Zoo,’ which is considered a national Japanese entertainment program.

    “Main PD nim! Look at this!”

    The atmosphere is also burning up.

    Assistant writers stick to the main PD from all sides and hand over their cell phones to each other. Displayed on the screen are articles about Lee Sua.

    It can’t help but be a matter of great interest to them. The next broadcast of ‘Celebrity Zoo’ is a special on Lee Sua.

    “Sua-ssi! She chose a head-on confrontation!”

    “Head-on confrontation? With who?”

    “Of course, a fight with the haters! Even if she has to visit a hospital, she’s thinking of completely suppressing the bad public opinion inside Japan and starting her activities!”

    “Head-on confrontation…. You mean that kind of confrontation? Did the agency reveal it directly, not a tabloid?”

    “That’s right! Look at the source of this article!”

    And after a while.

    “…!”

    Lightning struck the main PD’s head too.

    The calculation is short. It’s nothing but good news.

    The topic of Lee Sua is getting bigger just before filming the Sua special? It couldn’t be better!

    “Run an article right away that the next special of ‘Celebrity Zoo’ is Sua-ssi! Promote it as much as possible! And let’s rewrite the storyboard so that we can capture Sua-ssi in as much detail as possible!”

    . . . . .

    Back to Korea.

    With the internet bustling in both Korea and Japan, Sua’s people around her couldn’t not know about this situation.

    [Sua Group Chat Room] [Unconfirmed Notifications 999+]

    You can see that the notifications are constantly increasing just by looking at Sua’s messenger group chat room.

    Not only that. In addition, the people in the filming industry who have gone through Sua are also constantly moving their mouths.

    Writers, supporting actors, PDs, staff…. People who have experienced Sua even once can’t help but be in an uproar.

    “Writer Lee Geum-sook nim, Sua nim also sings!”

    “I’m already pricking up my ears when I hear that news. Should I put a scene where she sings in my next work? It’s only possible if Sua-yang’s singing skills are amazing.”

    “Of course, they’ll be amazing! It’s Sua nim after all!”

    You can see this much just by looking at the fuss of writer Lee Geum-sook and the assistant writers. It was worse elsewhere.

    And currently, in the apartment unit obtained from Mystic.

    “Hmm…?”

    Seo Yeon-ju was lying on the sofa and listening to a song. She had on Sumiho’s “Picking Up Hearts” cover.

    ─♩♪♬

    When the song entered its highlight.

    “…Her skill is crazy?”

    Seo Yeon-ju admired without realizing it.

    ‘Sua, what on earth is this skill? To be able to sing such an emotionally rich song with that sharp face?’

    Of course, Seo Yeon-ju didn’t find Sumiho while rummaging through VTubers. Yeon-ju had no interest in VTubers.

    However.

    Because the relationship between Sua and Yeon-ju is so special, Sua conveyed through Kim Iseo that Sumiho was herself.

    Yeon-ju had a reaction like, ‘Sua is doing this kind of thing?’ but soon became interested. She was interested in anything Sua did. She was so precious, like a real younger sister.

    Anyway, the Sumiho video gave Yeon-ju more admiration than she could have imagined. VTuber or whatever, this is at a level where you could close your eyes and believe it’s just a Japanese singer.

    ─♩♪♬

    After listening to the song like that.

    “Haaah….”

    Yeon-ju pressed repeat play without realizing it, and on the other hand, she felt so proud of Sua.

    ‘Sua really doesn’t know how to rest. She’s diligently doing this while building her acting career. Is there anything I can do to help her from behind?’

    Anything to help with? It soon came to mind.

    Yeah, there’s a way to help, even a little bit.

    Seo Yeon-ju soon picked up her cell phone.

    And she started attaching Sumiho cover video links to her acquaintances.

    [Seo Yeon-ju: (Sumiho Mytube Link)] [Seo Yeon-ju: Please listen to this!]

    Posting it officially on SNS can be a problem. When Sumiho’s identity is revealed later, there will be bad backlash like, ‘Because they’re from the same agency, they did intentional viral marketing,’ right?

    But I can do things like spreading it to my acquaintances. These guys are SNS addicts, so if they like the Sumiho video, they’ll spread it here and there on their own.

    [Kim Seon-il: Why] [Seo Yeon-ju: Listen to this quickly too] [Kim Seon-il: What are you telling me to listen to without a link] [Seo Yeon-ju: Find it with some tact and listen] [Kim Seon-il: ?]

    After delivering a lot of Sumiho links like that, Seo Yeon-ju plugged her cell phone into the charger and stood up.

    There was something that suddenly came to mind.

    “Oh, I have to show this to Sua next time I see her. I have to ask her if it’s a work worth going into.”

    Seo Yeon-ju soon held a script in her hand. The title is ‘Janghwa and Hongryeon’. The main character is the daughter of a shaman’s family who sees ghosts, and is characterized by losing her emotions.
