by adminSooa suddenly looked back on the past.
─Are you guys crazy?
There was a day she shouted that at her friends.
It was the day Eunbi and her monkey friends met Kim Iseo. Not only did they misunderstand her as having savant syndrome, but they also put her in a heartless machine frame.
But now her thoughts have completely changed.
‘Thank you…. everyone….’
As a result of the snowball of absurd misunderstandings rolling and rolling, didn’t it become an avalanche that saved Sooa wonderfully? An avalanche that would cover her dark past with pure white snow.
“Hooo…”
In the meantime, Kim Iseo sighs deeply.
“As the CEO, I feel a bit depressed. I wanted to protect Sooa’s private life no matter what, but the situation has turned out like this.”
Sooa wanted to say, there’s no need to be depressed.
‘Rather, even *I* want it to be public!’
But just because she feels sorry for her doesn’t mean she can tell her everything as it is. Like the fact that her dark past is all true, and that she has alexithymia….
…Yeah, let’s just keep it as something only she knows forever.
Sooa started to speak.
“I’m okay. CEO-nim, then shall we go public…?”
“Ah, I guess not.”
Kim Iseo clenches her fist.
“I’ll find another way besides this. How can I call myself a CEO if I can’t even protect Sooa’s private life? There must be a way.”
“…”
No, please just make it public already.
This is really embarrassing.
Sooa quietly grabbed the CEO’s hand.
“CEO-nim.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t think I’m even a little bit ashamed of revealing something like this. I have fans who like me, and now I want to approach them with my honest self.”
Sooa was now spitting out lies so smoothly. She couldn’t even do this before, she’s become so evil! Sooa-devil!
“…Sooa.”
Kim Iseo was just touched.
‘Right, maybe I’m the one acting with the prejudice that this shouldn’t be revealed? Sooa has already worked up the courage to face the public sincerely.’
Besides, after all, revealing her alexithymia had great strategic advantages. All misunderstandings would be resolved at once.
What would people who felt a disconnect between Sooa’s past and present say if they knew the inside story? They would surely be moved.
Wouldn’t they reflect instead if they knew that the image they had seen was an desperate effort that a heartless machine was doing to blend into human society?
…This is just what Kim Iseo is thinking, though.
Kim Iseo, who soon made a decision, stroked Sooa’s shoulder.
A caring touch. Almost like a mother.
“…Sooa, it’s a relief that the profession of actor exists in the world. It seems like a profession that exists for Sooa.”
“I agree.”
That was Sooa’s sincere agreement, at least. If there wasn’t the profession of actor, what use would Sooa have been?
“Sooa, then I’ve decided to go public with your alexithymia…. but I won’t do it right away today.”
“Huh? Are we doing it later?”
“Sooa, you worked up the courage to go public in order to face people sincerely, right? But the world is surprisingly good at betraying you. Even with the same event, there are people who support you, but there are also people who have bad intentions.”
“Uh…. um….”
Crackle─! Crackle─!
Stop with the difficult talk! Sooa’s head hurt.
“…That’s complicated.”
“It would be good to wait a little longer on purpose, and make a list of people who show signs of turning their backs on us. Let’s completely cut ties on this occasion.”
“Ah ah?”
“So that Sooa can pour her heart out only to truly good people, we will purge all the betrayers.”
“P, purge….”
Something very scary started to happen.
I just wanted to cover up my dark past?
Sooa was, in a word, trembling….
◈◈◈◈◈
Two days later. Japan.
Japan was slowly starting to heat up with topics other than MDD 808. That topic was none other than.
[Hit writer Minami Akiko…. ‘Japan Noir Contest Winner,’ film production is slowly starting.]
It was news that the work that Japan’s famous writer, Minami Akiko, submitted to the noir contest was finally going into production. People cheered.
Akiko’s name value was very high.
[Will Akiko break sales figures again this time…. People’s interest UP, actor casting? Release date?]
Popular writer Akiko is returning.
That alone was hot enough news. But there was another reason why people were interested and constantly adding fuel to the fire. It was the existence of a rival.
[Daughter Minami Sawako collaborates with Director Yusaku?]
[Director Yusaku’s new film ‘Weeds’ teaser]
A mother-daughter showdown? It was bound to burn brightly.
Of course, most people predicted Akiko’s victory, but at the same time, they were interested in why Yusaku had attached himself to his daughter.
Anyway, the situation was definitely tangled, but neither side released any additional information here.
The implication was clear.
…It means to burn brighter while suffering from more curiosity.

Meanwhile, Korea was a hot topic with a different subject.
─I was wondering why PD Kang Hyun-sung’s Muyoutube channel has been dormant lately ㄷㄷㄷ he was preparing something huge behind the scenes.
The facts about PD Kang Hyun-sung’s new move were buzzing. He revealed all the planning for a new variety show.
[PD Kang Hyun-sung’s ambitious new work, this time playing in big waters globally! ‘Star Summit’]
The program name is ‘Star Summit.’
All the details were revealed, including the outline of gathering representatives from various countries to discuss various topics. ‘How do you propose to a long-term lover?’ It was together with throwing example questions that would be slightly different for each country.
Of course, this plan alone was not enough to attract attention.
Why? People watch variety shows when they come out. In reality, there are not many viewers who get excited after checking the outline and already anticipating it.
Yeah, that would have been the case, but.
‘Star Summit’ was different.
[Lee Sooa selected as Korean representative for ‘Star Summit’.]
Because Lee Sooa, who is currently the hottest star, was mentioned as a package deal. Even more so because it was revealed that she was the Korean representative.
─Sooa led the pet variety show ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I knew he’d grab her, it suits her well
─Lee Sooa isn’t the end? Is Kim Seon-il the MC? Wow, I hope he wears a suit ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
─Wouldn’t Seo Yeon-ju be dragged in later too ㅋㅋㅋ
─Lee Sooa is clearly a trend now. Commercials, movies, dramas, variety shows…. Frankly, isn’t she at the level of having conquered everything except singing?
─But is Lee Sooa really a Korean representative? Shouldn’t she be going out as an overseas representative ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴ Now that I think about it, that’s true ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴ Ah, anyway, she’s a Korean representative ㅋㅋㅋ ㄴ She’s acting as a Korean representative ㅋㅋㅋ
From Mystic’s point of view, it was just welcome news.
Thanks to PD Kang Hyun-sung’s shining plan, expectations for Sooa and Mystic were continuing to rise.
And around this time.
─But how smart is Lee Sooa?
─She’s a Mensa member, I saw it
─She’s at a level that even insults God
─They just look like a genius.
─I think she’ll give a lot of really sharp pointers
Fans’ predictions started spreading on the internet. With content that would make Sooa herself shiver if she saw it….

Reporters are busy today too.
“….”
And currently, there was one director of the ‘NextDay’ named Kim Hyun-mo who was making it very clear that he was in a bad mood to the point that no one could talk to him.
Yes, Director Kim Hyun-mo.
…The director who was tricked by Kim Iseo’s psychological warfare and spilled the beans about Kang Hak-man and Lee Joo-hyun’s affair, and even blew away the golden opportunity to monopolize good information.
“Fucking StarCatch….”
He muttered like that again today. It’s almost a habit now.
But these words he spits out don’t even reach the tip of StarCatch’s toes. Now, the gap between NextDay and StarCatch in the entertainment sector has become too wide.
The director needlessly browbeat the easygoing team leader.
He was almost a woodpecker.
“You bastard, are you drinking coffee now?”
“No, then should I be drinking coffee? I’m drinking it to work harder….”
“Hmm.”
That was true. But.
“Hey. If you’re going to work, do it properly. The internet is so noisy these days? Everyone’s biting onto one big incident, but what about you? How can it make sense that you have nothing?”
“Ah, just wait a little.”
“Ha…. It wasn’t like this when your *sunbae* was working. He brought in scoops every day and our NextDay’s status was hanging next to the sun. Now….”
“Ah, please go away! I get it, really!”
The team leader, who barely chased Kim Hyun-mo away, sighed deeply. It’s already annoying enough that things aren’t working out, but he’s going crazy because he’s being pressured from above.
Click─! Click─! Click─!
He clicked the mouse nervously. He searched through communities with the heart of a fisherman hoping to catch at least something.
“Ah, please, can’t I catch something?”
He couldn’t catch anything. From start to finish, only content that other reporters had already scooped up was floating around in the community.
At some point, he was about to give up.
“Huh?”
[Special Mobile Unit 808 Gallery]
The Special 8 Gallery. He found something at this place, which has grown in size lately and is practically used as an entertainment gallery.
“Oh?”
[Rumor about Lee Sooa’s past that’s been going around in the fan cafe lately]
“I’m seeing this for the first time…?”
The team leader’s eyes sparkled. When he searched the internet, he found that there was no one yet who had preempted this and written an article about it. He wondered if he should report to the director first, but.
‘No, no. Speed is the key.’
Tap tap tap─!
He started tapping on the keyboard first.
‘I’m going to surprise that annoying director by doing something big this time.’
◈◈◈◈◈
The next day. Korea.
Japanese echoed from a Korean restaurant decorated as beautifully as an actual traditional Korean house. Finally, the Japanese national variety show ‘Celebrity Zoo’ team had arrived in Korea.
“Ooh, is this Korean food?”
“It’s nice because there are so many different side dishes.”
“My mouth is watering. Uh, no. Get a grip. I came here to work. Let’s wait quietly for the other party to come.”
“…Yeah. Everyone, calm down.”
The main PD of ‘Celebrity Zoo’ soothed the surroundings and sighed deeply. She pretends to be calm on the outside, but honestly, she’s just as nervous on the inside.
‘The key to this Korean wave special is Sooa-ssi.’
Therefore, she instructed the interpreter next to her.
“Excuse me, interpreter-nim.”
“Yes. Main PD-nim.”
“Recruiting Sooa-ssi is the key. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could convey our words as politely and eloquently as possible. So that we can communicate as well as possible.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”
While the main PD was having a strategic conversation with the interpreter, other stories began to circulate among the team members.
“By the way, aren’t you curious about Sooa-ssi in person?”
“I am. When I watched Special 8…. I don’t know where the body ends and where the retouching begins? I wonder if the figure of the woman’s revealing parts is also retouched?”
“Of course there must have been retouching. The more prominent the figure as a woman, the more prominent Kim Yu-han’s gender reversal becomes.”
At that time.
Clack─ Clack─
“…!”
Footsteps began to be heard, and everyone straightened their posture.
Finally, the Mystic side had arrived. From now on, they had to choose their words carefully when recruiting.
Slide─
Soon, Kim Iseo, who was wearing two large hairpins on her bangs, entered first.
The moment the ‘Celebrity Zoo’ team tried to greet them.
Thud!
“Ugh.”
Sooa, who was following behind, flinched and stopped.
Her upper body had passed through, but her pelvis was stuck. Sooa awkwardly opened the sliding door a little more. She was able to enter the interior only after securing enough space.
“始めまして.” (Nice to meet you.)
Sooa greeted them in Japanese, but the ‘Celebrity Zoo’ team didn’t even have time to be surprised by the fact that they heard their native language.
‘The real thing is way, way bigger…!’
