episode_0129

The pre-filming went well.

There was an unplanned union with Sarah at the end, but it was surprisingly fun to play poop games.

Would you say it is the taste of overcoming the lax game structure and malicious design with physicality?

I was able to clear the mission without exceeding 2 hours and take home a considerable amount of the mission amount.

“There were more useful scenes than I expected. I’m looking forward to seeing what this will be like when filming begins in earnest.”

Producer Taejun Park, who received a report from writer Manjae Shin, said so.

“Thanks to the PD’s consideration.”

He smiled broadly at my humility.

“Hehehe. This cannot even be mentioned separately in the entertainment industry. Anyway, thanks to Lee Min-ho, I think the quality of the program will improve a lot. Well then, I’ll see you at the airport next time.”

“See you then.”

And time passed so quickly that the departure date arrived.

“Let’s see… did it say here?”

In front of the gate of Incheon International Airport, I received a call from producer Park Tae-jun that he was planning to film a brief opening and then leave the country.

With the map app on my smartphone turned on, I looked around to find my destination.

“What are you filming here?”

“I think so? There are a lot of cameras.”

“Kim Seo-jun? Is that Seojun Kim? Wow, this is ‘it’s safe outside the blanket!’ Looks like filming?”

“What is that?”

“It’s a domestic travel program, but it looks like we’re going overseas this time. It’s fun, so check it out later.”

” Hey… I guess he’s quite famous. Can I ask for your autograph? Tsk tsk.”

There was a place nearby where people were gathered and chatting.

Listening to the story, they saw the filming crew waiting and it seemed like they were just trying to get a look at the faces of celebrities.

I naturally passed through the crowd and approached the production crew.

I can feel people looking at me curiously behind my back. It seemed strange that I, who seemed no different from them, was approaching the production crew.

‘I still have a long way to go before I’m famous enough.’

With that in mind, I spoke to producer Park Tae-jun.

“Hello. PD Park.”

“Ah, is Lee Min-ho here?”

“Yes, sorry for being late.”

“No. Rather, you arrived early. Oh, and say hello to each other. This is Seojun Kim, one of our regular cast members.”

Producer Taejun Park extended his arm and introduced the man standing next to him.

“Hello. My name is Lee Min-ho.”

“Nice to meet you. This is Seojun Kim.”

Kim Seo-jun was a thin young man with a somewhat sickly appearance.

Perhaps because of the makeup, her pale face and red lips were impressive, and her long, long hair went well with that image.

He extended his thin, slender fingers like a woman’s and extended his hand to shake my hand.

“I heard about Minho through the news recently.”

“Oh, I see.”

I guess I looked into it because a guy I had never heard of suddenly appeared as a guest.

‘I don’t know anything other than the names of the cast…’

“He did many very manly things.”

Kim Seo-jun’s eyes sparkled a little too much as he said that.

“You seem to know me well enough that I don’t even need to introduce myself. ”

Producer Taejun Park, who was watching us shouting loudly from the side, looked at his watch.

“The other regular cast members, Choi Jun-hyuk and Bang Bang-an, seem to need some time.”

“There is still time left until arrival time.”

After saying that, Kim Seo-jun’s gaze turned towards the road.

“Ah, it looks like someone is coming just now.”

When I turned my head in the direction he was looking, I saw a large, jet-black van stopping on the side of the road.

Drurrr

Eventually, the heavy car door opened, revealing the people inside.

The main characters were a short-haired man wearing an active jacket and a woman with long brown hair wearing a light dress.

“Phew… Manager oppa, please go back. Because there are production crew members over there.”

“I will confirm my departure before returning. There is nothing to do anyway.”

‘Wow, you’re really appearing on the same program as me.’

I thought to myself as I looked at them.

This is the name I heard when I signed the contract last time. Moon Ji-yu.

She, who is currently tidying up her side hair by tucking it behind her ear, is a famous singer-songwriter who I know does not watch TV much.

Although he is not a top-class singer, he has released many famous songs and sang many drama OSTs, so he is very well known.

A person who, if you show your face and name to anyone, will respond by saying, ‘Ah, that person?’

Kim Seo-jun was handsome, but I wasn’t that interested in him, so I didn’t feel like I was seeing a celebrity, but Moon Ji-yu was someone I only saw on screen, so seeing him face to face was a strange feeling.

“Hello.”

Moon Ji-yu came towards us and bowed his head.

“This time, both guests were chosen as handsome men and women. Hahaha.”

Producer Taejun Park accepted the greeting and burst into laughter.

After clearly investing his abilities, he thought that he was worthy of seeing it himself, so I could see that what he considered important in this special episode was visuals.

“PD, please help promote this album.”

The man who Moon Ji-yu called the director’s oppa said so while bowing at 90 degrees to PD Park Tae-jun.

‘You appeared to promote the album.’

While I was guessing the situation, Moon Ji-yu approached us where the two cast members were gathered.

“Hello! Thank you very much!”

“Yes, please take care of me too.”

“Ah, yes.”

After saying hello, she took a step closer to me and started talking.

“You’re Minho, right? The person who appeared in the article this time!”

“Uh… I don’t know what article you read, but it’s probably right.”

‘What… am I kind of famous…?’

I felt very surprised when the two celebrities I met for the first time both said they had heard of me.

Even though the names are different, I have to say that I feel like they are the same person.

“I also suffered from vicious sasaeng fans for a while, so I was very stressed. Fortunately, my agency handled it well, so I’m okay now, but at that time…”

He seemed like a very friendly person, as he spoke non-stop in a clear, singing voice.

While Moon Ji-yu was chattering next to me like that.

Murmur.

People who had been quietly watching around started to murmur after Moon Ji-yu appeared.

“It’s Munjiyu! Wow… it looks prettier in person than in the photo.”

“I want to get your autograph…!”

“I don’t think they have started filming yet. Wouldn’t it be possible if I go and ask?”

“While you are receiving it, the people next to you are also receiving it!”

“I know Seojun Kim, but who is the other man next to him?”

“I don’t know, but if we see them together, wouldn’t they be celebrities?”

‘Write…’

From the conversation I heard through my enhanced hearing, I felt a premonition that something troublesome would happen.

just as expected.

People who were watching from a distance slowly approached us.

“Uh, teachers, we are filming right now, so please don’t come near us.”

There were staff and hired guards handling the filming equipment, but they trusted their numbers and twisted their bodies to get closer.

“I know for sure that filming hasn’t even started yet, so what are you talking about!”

“Mr. Moon Ji-yu! I’m a fan! Please give me an autograph!”

“Could you please take a selfie together?”

“I am here, please sign here!”

The sound of more than ten people talking at once turned a corner of the airport into a market place.

In an instant, a crowd began to gather around the area, including people who were just walking down the street and heard the commotion and were snooping around to see what was going on.

Producer Park Tae-jun and a man called the manager, who had moved to another place and had a conversation for a while, could be seen looking embarrassed at the sudden situation.

“Everyone! Calm down a little! If you come close, you’ll be in trouble!”

The guards and staff were shouting like that to block the people, but people couldn’t hear them because of the loud noise around them.

I let out a small sigh at the sight of the chaos, and spoke to Moon Ji-yu next to me, who was frozen with wide eyes as if in shock.

“Cover your ears.”

“Yes?”

She asked back with a blank face, but when I pointed to her ears with my index finger, she hurriedly covered her ears with her hands.

“Phew…”

I closed my eyes and pressed my palms together firmly.

Pang!

“……!”

It wasn’t just applause, there was a roar that felt like the air was exploding.

Suddenly, the surrounding area, which was like a market place, suddenly became quiet due to a loud noise that made my ears ring.

“We are filming so please step away.”

He spoke in a low voice so that the warning was imprinted in the minds of the startled people.

He hesitated.

People who lost momentum gradually retreated backwards.

However, there are bound to be people everywhere who show off-the-wall behavior and rebellious temperament.

Coincidentally, there was a guy like that among the people surrounding us.

“……Who are you? Do this or that!”

Instead, a middle-aged woman took a step forward and pointed at me.

“The one we want to receive fan service from is not you, but Moon Ji-yu next to us!”

“ugh…”

Seeing the woman venting her dissatisfaction, Moon Ji-yu, who was next to me, hid behind me.

I sighed heavily when I saw that.

“Ha…”

My martial arts level is still poor, so I can’t subdue people just by living.

However, like Sarah’s stalker, he wasn’t a guy with eyes turned, and he was enough to scare off ordinary people who were momentarily excited by a celebrity.

“If you’re a fan, act like a fan… Didn’t I hear you were filming…?”

Flash!

While saying that, I glared at the woman as harshly as possible.

“Ugh…”

Although it was a travel destination, I guess it was because I had soaked many people. The woman who had stepped forward caught my gaze and the color on her face instantly drained, and she took a step back in an awkward posture.

Tuk.

“Ugh…!”

And when another person’s arm touched his back, he turned around and ran away.

“What…?”

“I don’t know…! Is it a bodyguard?”

“……Yes, if you are a true fan, you should not approach but just look.”

“Keuhm… I was planning on stopping you a long time ago.”

“Wow… the force is amazing.”

The other people seemed to know that I was something unusual, so they calmed down their excitement.

The staff and guards who had been observing the situation for a while after I stepped forward did not miss the opportunity and did a good job of dispersing the people.

“Thank you…! Suddenly people flocked in and I got scared…”

“Minho, you’re really amazing! People send you back with just a few words…! Could you please tell me how you did it? If you just learn that, you won’t be bothered outside!”

Moon Ji-yu and Kim Seo-jun, who were frozen on either side, thanked me.

Seojun Kim had an excited face, as if he was amazed that I had made people retreat.

“No, it wasn’t a big deal.”

I said that while scratching my head.

“Anyway, I feel a little sorry.”

“Why?”

“I think I came here as a fan of JiU, but I don’t know if I could have kicked him out like that.”

“It’s okay. As Minho said, you shouldn’t be in trouble like this just because you’re a fan. Anyone who blindly approaches a celebrity in a situation like this is not a true fan.”

Moon Ji-yu shook his head left and right.

Straight brown hair was flowing and shaking.

“On the contrary, Minho helped us, but I’m worried that he might go somewhere and say something strange…”

“Well, if you want to do it, do it.”

Although Moon Ji-yu spoke with a worried face, this was my sincerity.

There may be posts on her fan cafe or online community calling her an unlucky bastard, but even so, the number of people who have witnessed it in person is limited.

If she comes forward and says no, it’s like it never happened.

And since I have a positive image that I have built up over the years, there will be no problem.

‘If the broadcast continues, viewers will automatically put up a shield.’

I thought so.

I’m not an actor or a celebrity, so I really don’t need to show a flawless appearance.

If you want to enjoy fame anyway, you have to take into account that there will be some anti-fans.

It is absolutely unacceptable to not be able to do what you want to do because you are trying to please everyone.

“I’m so sorry!”

When the situation calmed down and people retreated to clear the way, PD Park Tae-jun ran towards us and bowed his head.

“If I had known this would happen, I should have hired more guards… but it was my fault.”

Producer Park Tae-jun explained the situation while sweating profusely.

In the first place, compared to the popularity of ‘It’s Safe Outside the Blankets!’, due to the nature of domestic travel, it mainly received cooperation from local governments and received little support from broadcasting stations.

Since the show mainly toured local areas, there weren’t many people nearby, and it was the first time that a well-known guest like Moon Ji-yu appeared.

“So, I did not expect this kind of chaos to occur at the airport…”

“I see.”

Although the flashlight went off and reporters didn’t rush in like when famous stars showed up at the airport, it seemed like ordinary fans decided to approach them because they did.

It was clear that preparations were inadequate, but the cast, who had not suffered any damage thanks to me, forgave Producer Taejun Park.

We’ve just started filming and it’s only a loss if we blush with something like this.

Instead, they promised to strengthen the security of the departure and entry process to prevent something like this from happening again.

“Hello! I arrived just in the nick of time!”

“Huh? Why is the atmosphere like this?”

The remaining regular cast members Choi Jun-hyuk and Bang Bang-an, who arrived late after the whole situation was over, looked confused as they did not know the situation.

The staff briefly explained the situation to them, and after successfully completing the opening filming, we boarded the plane and departed for Saipan.

“……”

Moon Ji-yu quietly looked at Min-ho, who was sleeping in the seat next to her, wearing an eye patch.

‘A fascinating person…’

When he growled and spoke to a woman who called himself a fan, the woman hiding behind him felt like she was shaking, but after continuing to talk to him, I found out that she was a very interesting person.

I was skeptical when Choi Jun-hyuk told me that I had to take off my shoes because it was my first time on an airplane. I was excited to eat the in-flight meal, but was disappointed by the taste.

‘I want to know more.’

Before he knew it, Moon Ji-yu was looking at Minho with softened eyes.
