I and my girlfriends found out a little late, but they say they were more famous on the Internet than we thought.

Since the fall, my three girlfriends have become a bit of a viral sensation on the Internet, with titles like ‘Goddess of Jinsugyo’ floating around all over the Internet.

As for photos and videos, the only ones were taken by the kids at our academy during the festival and the images of me and Yumin posted on social media, but rumors about pretty girls tend to spread very quickly.

Especially since photos of my girlfriends were frequently posted on my SNS, there were more people spying on me than I thought.

Of course, the photos I took while working as a fitting model were also exposed to many people who were spying on social media.

And a set of women’s winter clothes that Fit Luxurious gave me for their hard work.

A photo of Yuri wearing those clothes also quickly went viral again.

Next, Suyeon, Eunji, and Yumin took photos of themselves wearing the clothes they bought, saying “This is the place that made my boyfriend a fitting model. Should I repay the favor by buying some clothes?”

We unintentionally made Fit Luxurious go viral, and our photos were spread and girls saw our photos on the shopping mall site.

The frequency of my name being called in group chats with boys has increased dramatically.

From questions like whether he had seen other female models and whether they were pretty, to how much the fitting model’s hourly wage was, and whether it was hard at all.

[Me]: I don’t know who looked at the female model, but I went alone and took the photo. It was so awkward to pose, so I don’t even know what I did.

After answering countless questions like that, I closed the chat and went to the shopping mall website where my picture was displayed.

‘Still, I think it came out not too bad…’

I thought the facial expression would be quite awkward, but after proper correction, the result was such that one could easily mistake it for a fitting model with some experience.

While I was looking at the website, Suyeon came up next to me and put her arms around me.

And he showed me his cell phone.

“Senior, senior! Look at this. People are asking where my clothes are from on my senior’s Instagram? The seniors in my class kept sending me messages and asking questions. Hehe, I feel like I’ve become a celebrity.”

Even though I didn’t look at it for a while, there were several comments on social media, and in the girls’ chat room where Suyeon was present, questions about what clothes Yuri, Eunji, and Suyeon were wearing continued to come up.

“Really? Our Sooyeon has become a Luxurious Viral Marketing employee?”

“Who is that senior? Senpai, ever since that fitting model photo was posted, you have really gone viral.”

As she said, I was just being talked about by people.

The news that a rehabilitated former Iljin who appeared in People Theater appeared as a fitting model for a certain shopping mall was published in an article by a popular Internet newspaper, and the rumor quickly spread among people who follow my SNS.

I thought it would be newsworthy to know what ordinary people, not celebrities, do, but if you think about the cases of ordinary people who appear on entertainment shows or other audition programs from time to time, it’s not like it never happened…

In any case, there was quite a bit of controversy on the Internet due to the fact that the Rehabilitation Iljin of the People Theater were the fitting models.

Those who defend it have kneeled down to the extent of saying they were wrong and are willing to be beaten until the victim’s anger is relieved, and they haven’t even apologized after something was revealed, so why are they still holding on to this?

Those who don’t like it are of the opinion that even so, they didn’t visit all the victims one by one and make them pay for their crimes, that gangsters like that don’t change their nature, and that appearing on People’s Theater in the first place was a ploy to clean up their lives.

Whether it’s good or bad, the viral effect was clear, and there were a lot more opinions than expected on Fit Luxurious’ customer voice bulletin board.

I’ve already received the money, and since I’m a daily fitting model anyway, I won’t have anything to do with it anymore, so I just need to worry about it, but I was feeling uneasy inside, wondering if the company was harming me for no reason.

“Senior, I got a call.”

I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom before leaving for my lunch job when Suyeon called me from outside the door.

“Uh, can you please give me your cell phone?”

“Here!”

The door opened and Sooyeon stuck out her hand and gave me the cell phone. I only rinsed my mouth and answered the phone right away.

“Hello?”

– Oh, hello Mr. Seongjin Han. This is Assistant Manager Kim Jin-cheol with whom I spoke last time. how are you?

It was an employee at Fit Luxurious who suggested I be a daily fitting model.

I answered in a slightly nervous voice.

“Ah, yes, hello. I had a good time. How have you been, Assistant Manager?”

– Yes, thanks. Could I please talk to you for a moment?

“Yes, it is possible. What’s going on?”

– Oh, it’s no different. What we filmed last week was posted on the site, right?

“That’s right… There’s a lot of talk about this and that on the customer voice board. Are you okay?”

– I already contacted you because of that. Well, there are many opinions from customers, but when we found out, there were more positive reviews than criticism. There is nothing special about this for men’s clothing, but strangely, sales of women’s clothing have increased significantly since then.

I didn’t quite understand for a moment.

“For women? I don’t think that has anything to do with me…”

– After analyzing the items whose sales have increased significantly in the past few days, I found out that this is Han Seong-jin’s girlfriend… no, ‘people’… who is always with him on SNS?

“Ah… yes, girlfriends’… yes…”

It was a bit more embarrassing than I thought to shamelessly admit to a complete stranger, not even my classmates, that I had several girlfriends.

I could sense that the employee over there was particularly hesitant in speaking, perhaps because he was embarrassed to say something directly.

– Huh, yes, those girlfriends… the clothes they were wearing were also our products. And the sales of all of them skyrocketed.

“Oh, I heard about it. My classmates keep asking me where I bought my clothes…”

– Yes, this has been talked about here and there, and the clothes they are wearing are selling quite well, so we are looking at it very positively. It’s hard to say that men’s products are very significant in terms of sales, but after Han Seong-jin became the model, the inflow to the site definitely increased.

“Is that in order? Anyway, I’m not a professional…”

– It’s viral, viral. Anyway, thanks to this, our indicators are very positive. If it’s okay with Seongjin Han, I’m calling you because I’d like to ask you to film again in the near future. Is it okay with you?

For me, of course, I was thankful.

I was prepared to work on site or in a factory, but working as a fitting model couldn’t be more physically demanding than that.

The hourly wages were very high, and from my perspective, the number of people visiting SNS, whether in a good or bad sense, increased considerably.

“Yes, I would be grateful if you give me a chance.”

– Hahaha, yes, I understand. Then, we’ll have to have a meeting internally as well, so we’ll let you know when something is decided.

#####

“Really? They say clothing sales at shopping malls increased because of us?”

After finishing her part-time lunch job at a cafe, her girlfriends gathered together for the first time in a while and told them the details of the phone call. Eunji asked with bright eyes.

“Well, I’m not sure if that’s the reason since I’m not an employee, but… wouldn’t you be able to get a rough estimate just by looking at our class? They keep asking me where I bought your clothes and what the product name is.”

“That’s true, but I thought it was just because they were kids in my class. amazing. We’re not celebrities, we’re just ordinary people, so what are you looking at?”

“Hmm… Isn’t it because of me?”

“Oh? What is it, senior? Suddenly showing self-consciousness here?”

I continued talking while tickling Sooyeon’s side as she was playing around.

“Ahahaha! It tickles!!”

“In fact, I am the only person in the country who openly confessed that I have four girlfriends.”

“Well, shamelessly.”

Yuri laughed and joked.

“There is no other guy like me in the whole country. So, even if they are curious about what you are doing, if you look at them on the Internet, they will come to you at least once, and when they come, they will say that you guys are really pretty, and that is why they continue to spread through word of mouth, right? Well, in the meantime, there was a human theater and things like that.”

“But the company even managed to say that they wanted to use it again? I’ve been to the consumer bulletin board, and there’s… how can I say it, the atmosphere…”

Seeing that Yumin was having trouble speaking, I said what I wanted to say on his behalf.

“Do I swear too much?”

“That’s right… I guess those people don’t know how much they’ve actually changed and only know it piecemeal. Some people swear just because they want to swear.”

“I guess the company just decided to let it go because it went viral and got good publicity. Whether you curse or not, I have to say that sales actually increased.”

“But it’s really interesting. So, if you do well in this way, won’t your SNS grow to the level of an influencer? What do you think will happen if we cooperate properly?”

“Why? Can you do a fitting model with me?”

When I asked, Yuri’s face turned slightly red.

“Well, I don’t like that because it’s embarrassing. I never even thought about that as a career path, and I have no talent for that. But wouldn’t it be okay to just take pictures by ourselves like the pictures I posted last time? I can do that too.”

“You know! Since I’m an athlete, wouldn’t it be a bit different if I took a picture wearing something like sportswear? ah! Maybe I can get some money out of this? Buying functional sportswear can cost a lot of money. I hope you do!”

All of my girlfriends were reluctant to be models for daily fittings because they thought they wouldn’t be suitable, but instead they decided to help me take pictures to post on my social media.

I had a strong feeling that I was becoming a Fit Luxurious Viral employee, but now I had to seize all of these opportunities.

While my three girlfriends were focusing on going to college or practicing sports, Yumin and I were researching ways to grow our social media presence, and following Instagram, we started to dabble in Vlogs and YouTube in the spirit of daily life.

Fit Luxurious must have evaluated me quite well, so after that, they asked me to take photos of fitting models surprisingly often, and Eunji even started giving me the ‘rice cakes’ that she was looking forward to.

It felt a bit like an advertisement, sending me some of the company’s clothing that my girlfriends would wear and asking me to post it on social media.

Each time, I took pictures of my girlfriends wearing the clothes, letting them know that they were sponsored clothes.

When on a date, at an aquarium, preparing an essay or eating together at a cafe, etc.

As the process was repeated during the winter vacation, I became almost in the same boat as the clothing shopping mall, and now my SNS has grown much faster and much bigger than I expected, with men coming to see their girlfriends’ faces and women coming to see the actual fit of the clothes.
