There was only one reason why I chose Seo Yu-jin in team selection.

‘I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.’

Seo Yu-jin is one of the youngest among Our Naaah contestants, and including adults such as the production crew and trainers, she is almost like a baby.

Such a young child is struggling and crying… , everyone pretends not to know… , Someone else said it was good and the current situation was captured on camera… , I was so annoyed.

‘Please wait as long as you want. and… , I will respect whatever choice you make.’

At that moment, I remembered what Kang Hyeong-man had told me… , so I ran out.

“Oh, shall I say it again? I will nominate participant Seo Yu-jin.”

“… … .”

Perhaps Han Si-woo was also embarrassed by this situation, and he asked me with a puzzled look on his face, unable to control his expression.

“Oh, no… , participant Seo Yu-jin is of the same leader rank as Yerin, so wouldn’t it be possible to select her?”

“… … .”

Han Si-woo’s words were correct.

In a proper game, it makes no common sense for the leader to select the leader of another team.

However, I decided to shamelessly go out, remembering an entertainment program I watched before.

“But there was no rule prohibiting leaders from selecting leaders, right? I only chose Eugene because he hasn’t been chosen by anyone yet?”

“… … .”

Han Si-woo was embarrassed by my answer and was unable to continue speaking. Meanwhile, Na Hanna raised her hand and said.

“Uh, then I’ll choose Yerin unni.”

“… Phew.”

Someone burst into laughter at Na Hanna’s sudden ad-lib, and the atmosphere became moody.

Han Si-woo took advantage of that opportunity to look toward the production team.

It seemed as if he was asking for a solution to this situation.

However, Shin PD looked more urgent than usual, as if the production team had not yet found the right method… .

“Cut, cut! I’ll take a break and do it again!”

He waved his hand and declared to stop filming.

Swoosh-, swoosh.

At the new PD’s order, the cameramen lowered the cameras they were holding… .

“Huhhh… !”

It was only then that the participants around them began to quietly approach Seo Yu-jin to comfort her as she cried sadly.

And I was the first to approach Seo Yu-jin… .

chin.

“Don’t cry.”

… I put my hand on her head and stroked it like Kang Hyeongman did for me last time.

“Uuuuu… ! Hmm… ! sister… … ! Ugh… !”

Seo Yu-jin took my hand that was stroking her hair, placed it on her cheek, and pressed her face against it.

It’s not the time to laugh, but… , Seo Yu-jin looked like a pet, so I burst out laughing.

“Hueeeng… !”

So, Seo Yu-jin held my hand and shed tears again for a long time.

“Everyone, gather around for a moment!”

Filming was halted for a while and PD Shin summoned the production crew and held a temporary meeting.

Among them, the junior writer who ran to Producer Shin first asked him.

“… Seniors. This is an unexpected situation. What do you plan to do?”

“Well… , I’m so embarrassed that my head can’t turn. I didn’t know what to do, so I called you guys. Everyone, feel free to speak your mind.”

Ha Ye-rin’s unexpected behavior followed a different path from the picture drawn by PD Shin.

Accordingly, the production team had to decide whether to ignore Ha Ye-rin’s unexpected behavior and pretend it never happened, or use this as an opportunity to draw a new picture.

At that time, the youngest writer courageously raised his hand when PD Shin told him to speak his mind freely.

“I… How about just adding Seo Yu-jin to Ha Ye-rin’s team? The idea or situation of a leader selecting another team leader is interesting… , also… .”

The expression on the youngest writer’s face as he continued speaking was very dark.

“… Couldn’t this incident be a blessing in disguise for Seo Yu-jin? … I think we made the child look like a witch too much through editing, so it would be nice if we could help at least in this way. … I was so pricked by my conscience… .”

Even though there was direct directing by PD Shin, the youngest writer ultimately also contributed to witch-hunting Seo Yu-jin through editing.

The youngest writer feels that guilt… , I felt so uncomfortable these days, so I wanted to help Seo Yu-jin if I could.

but… .

“What? Conscience? Friend, what did you say?”

… The youngest writer’s words greatly offended PD Shin.

Conscience.

That was because it was a word that PD Shin hated very much.

“We are working right now. But why do you need a conscience? Huh?”

“Well, that’s… .”

“We and the performers simply have a business relationship. It’s a relationship where we give them what they want and they give us what we want. But what, conscience? Huh, is there any chance of getting caught by the performers?”

“… Sorry, sorry.”

“How did something like this come into our team, tsk.”

As PD Shin poured out harsh words, the youngest writer became depressed and lowered his head even further.

In response, a writer who had some free time stepped forward and calmed the situation.

“Haha, senior. Our youngest is still lacking a lot. Please understand. But I don’t think everything the youngest said was wrong, right? Don’t you think it would be good to continue the current situation and give Seo Yu-jin a chance to clean things up?”

“… … .”

Hearing his junior’s words, PD Shin closed his eyes for a moment and turned his head rationally.

and… , A new picture for this episode was immediately drawn in his head.

“Okay… , Guys. Let’s change the shooting concept this week.”

“How… , Shall I change it?”

“… The return of the prodigal son.”

As soon as they heard that the prodigal son was back, the other production staff could tell that PD Shin had decided to give Seo Yu-jin a run for her money.

“First of all, this contest… , Reduce the number of teams from 6 to 5 and just put Seo Yu-jin in Ha Ye-rin’s team. And we prepared a song selection game after us, right?”

“… Yes, there is.”

Originally, the production crew prepared a song selection game after selecting the team.

of course… , a game structured in which participants select songs according to the tastes of the production team.

“Just change that to free selection by team. Pick good songs yourself.”

“… yes? Oh, yes, I understand.”

“The camera watched Yerin team as closely as possible to capture many warm pictures… Okay, whoa… , In this episode, let’s return Seo Yujin’s washing machine. Oh, right and… .”

PD Shin gave an order with his eyes flashing towards his junior.

“SAV Call Director Jeong right away. I’ll bail out that trainee, so stop messing with the advertisers. I received 10 calls from the director alone this morning.”

“… Ah, yes. I will call you right away.”

Producer Shin’s swearing in his mouth meant that he was very angry.

SAV calls the advertisers, who express their concerns to the director, and the director criticizes PD Shin.

Shin PD was fed up with the continuation of that downward spiral.

Originally, in order to solve this problem, the new PD tried to move forward with more provocative material and achieve the highest viewer rating again in episode 6, reassuring the director and advertisers.

In the end, what they want is higher viewer ratings.

‘But what… , this method would be fine too… .’

Producer Shin, who thought that if he took care of Seo Yu-jin on the air as a means of reconciliation, SAV would stop putting pressure on him, he decided to accommodate Ha Ye-rin’s unexpected behavior.

what… , it may have lower viewer ratings than the original picture, but that could be compensated to some extent by covering it up with Ha Ye-rin’s angelic actions.

Because many Naaa viewers are crazy about Ha Ye-rin.

“Now, our youngest writer said his conscience is pricked, so let’s be inhumane and be actor-friendly this week.”

“… … .”

Producer Shin ended the meeting without forgetting to give another nod to the youngest writer as a way to vent his anger.

“The meeting ends with this. I told Siwoo and the other trainers everything we decided at the meeting. Filming resumes in 5 minutes. That’s all, let’s all go back to our seats.”

“Yes… !”

Just like that, the production crew’s temporary meeting ended and Naa went back to filming.

PD Shin thought that although it was a meeting held unexpectedly in an unexpected situation, it produced some decent results.

but… .

“… … .”

… The youngest writer had a different idea.

‘This isn’t like giving a bottle or medicine… .’

It was the production team that drove Seo Yu-jin into the witch’s trap in the first place, so how can they say that they are friendly to the cast just because they treat her a little better now? .

‘stop… , should I put it… .’

The youngest writer seriously wondered if he should quit his job at the broadcasting station.

I joined the broadcasting station out of a simple desire to become friends with celebrities, but the program production team found it difficult to become friends with celebrities due to its structure.

Is that all?

Like today, I often get scolded inhumanely by my seniors or superiors, and I also work a lot of overtime.

Even the comprehensive wage increase, ‘If you hold on and persevere, things will get better someday. Fighting!’ Because of the atmosphere, there is no proper overtime pay.

The mentality gets worse as the mentality goes, and the body gets worse as the body does… .

It’s not like you can make a lot of money… .

And the biggest problem is… .

‘As expected, my conscience… ,’

He said that his conscience was pricked because malicious editing was one of his main duties.

‘This Seo Yu-jin incident… , originally it wasn’t to the point of being criticized like this… .’

As I lowered my head, the image of Seo Yu-jin crying pitifully flashed through my mind again.

At this, she felt her heart being pricked again and let out a long sigh… .

“First of all… , I have to hold on for now… .”

I headed back to the set with my resignation letter in my arms.
