Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols - Chapter 172



Only Noblemtl

| Episode 172. Discussion (1)

The external name of the meeting was ‘The 1st Spark Fan Meeting Planning Meeting’.

But in my mind, the name of the meeting kept changing to ‘Boring Fan Meeting Great Escape Countermeasures Committee Meeting’.

I don’t plan on seeing another fan meeting where neither the fans nor the idols seem to have anything to say. I’ll definitely prepare for it.

The only good thing was that the Spark guys were very enthusiastic about preparing for the fan meeting.

I thought there would be one or two people who said that they should hand over the fan meeting to the dedicated team, but they all came forward saying that they definitely wanted to prepare the fan meeting themselves. It was unexpected.

That’s why we’re sitting on the practice room floor with our notebooks and papers strewn about.

Jeong Seong-bin said while looking through the list of fan meeting contents of idol groups of all time.

“First of all, we definitely need to include a Q&A session with fans, right?”

As expected, he’s a guy who knows a thing or two. Questionnaires, Q&A, and post-it questions are essential communication channels.

“I guess a lot of people cosplay. Like movie or animation characters… … .”

“Oh, I was watching that too.”

Kang Ki-yeon agreed with Park Joo-woo’s words.

“The makeup is nice. I think everyone will like it because it has an event feel to it.”

Lee Cheong-hyeon also showed interest. Judging from his choice of words, it seems like he doesn’t really know what cosplay is.

“I’m sure you’re not talking about just putting makeup on your face.”

As I added, a question mark appeared on Lee Cheong-hyeon’s face.

Lee Cheong-hyeon’s face lit up with surprise as he received a piece of paper from Park Joo-woo.

“What is this? Are you just dressing up like the character?”

“That’s right. It’s better than you imagined, right?”

“Awesome! I really want to do this!”

When I see something like this, I think I remember someone saying something on SNS before.

What did they say? Highly developed Muggles are indistinguishable from otakus… … ?

“Are you going to sing too? I thought about it and I think it would be perfect if you arranged 『With List』 acoustically. It’s fall, so what do you think?”

Then Lee Cheong-hyeon lamented why there was no one in our team who knew how to play the acoustic guitar.

“An acoustic guitar is perfect for this feeling!”

“If there was someone who knew how to play that, we would have been a band, not an idol.”

Choi Je-ho grumbled. At that moment, Jeong Seong-bin stepped forward, looking embarrassed.

“Hmm… … If the code isn’t too complicated, I think I can do it.”

There’s a guy who knows how to do this. It seemed like he could hear the sound of Park Joo-woo’s passion for band idols. I glanced to the side and, as expected, his eyes were rolling around.

“Then I’ll do this? Got it? I passed!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Jeong Seong-bin smiled and calmed down the excited Lee Cheong-hyeon.

“The popular drama ‘Ahwangsil’s Kiyeon’ should do the random play dance once more.”

Kang Ki-yeon’s face turned red at my words.

But this is a fact. Kang Ki-yeon’s popularity rose tremendously after she tore up the random play dance once.

Since other stages of Kang Ki-yeon that have been uploaded so far have been released along with fan cams, we couldn’t ignore this content.

“The eldest brothers should do something too?”

Lee Cheong-hyeon spoke with a careless tone, waving a ballpoint pen.

“I’m sorry, but please don’t lump me and Choi Je-ho together. I think we’re the same age, so we’ve reached the end of our relationship in this life.”

“I know who you are.”

Choi Je-ho grumbled and grumbled without giving in. Only the kind Jeong Seong-bin tried hard to heal the relationship between the two of us.

“Hey, why are you two like that? You’re usually doing fine.”

“I can’t be sure about that. Those guys don’t say a word in their room.”

But it all went down the drain thanks to Lee Cheong-hyeon’s merciless accusations.

But this is not a joke, I really don’t want to get involved with Choi Je-ho.

First of all, my stats are too low. I know that generous fans are trying hard to package me as ‘the oldest brother with a different drawing style’, but the level of intensity of the visuals was too different.

His skills were the same. Even though they move the same, Choi Je-ho has a certain dance line, but all I could hear was, “Our Lee Wol-i is always sharp!”

I’m practicing hard and trying to keep up with the members, but the reality is that I become a snail when I stand next to Choi Je-ho. It’s so sad that I can’t stand it.

And this one is closer to the truth… … .

After getting his memory data back, the guy became a nuisance again.

It means that the anger I felt towards Choi Je-ho when I first returned came to mind.

Actually, Choi Je-ho is not guilty. If he is guilty, it is only because he was so noticeable that even Chief Nam’s daughter noticed him.

Besides, my negative emotions are well blocked by the system. If it weren’t for that, my emotions wouldn’t have stopped at just the level of being annoying to Choi Je-ho.

I felt strangely uncomfortable when we were together, so I didn’t want to create any collaboration with Choi Je-ho for the time being.

“Or let’s do something like a balance game. Making Lee Wol-hyung the main dancer vs. Joo-woo-hyung having his own variety show.”

“Our Giyeon is talented at making balanced games.”

I gave a rave applause to Kang Ki-yeon’s idea. Park Joo-woo’s face turned pale.

“Hey guys, here’s a sample of your fan club kit!”

“Really?”

At the call of the Lord, we dropped what we were doing and went up to the conference room. There was a large blue box on the table.

Despite the dark blue background, the box was printed with colorful fireworks, so much so that it didn’t feel dark. The colorful round fireworks reminded me of a festival.

The small sparks that were placed around the letter ‘A’ in ‘spArk’, the official notation for Spark, like a Ferris wheel, also fit well.

There was also a lot of cute content.

Since fans don’t use stickers carelessly, we earnestly requested that we include two stickers, one for collection and one for use, and each member’s autograph + handwritten message stickers, group activity reports from “Flowering”, six cuts of their lives from the “With List” days, etc. were neatly included. The name section at the end of the group activity reports was left blank so that fans could write their names or nicknames.

‘The photo… … has no broken pixels, and there are no stains on the postcard… … .’

While everyone else was busy looking at the kits, I was busy looking for the ones that worked best for me. This is all because I got into the habit of taking videos while unboxing the packages.

“Wow, the diary really… … looks practical.”

Lee Cheong-hyeon’s voice, which had been excitedly opening his diary, suddenly became calm.

“Yeah. I think I’ll switch to this too.”

Finally, Kang Ki-yeon asked Joo-kyung if he could receive a diary if he joined the fan club.

Of course, I worked hard to create it so that it was both pretty and practical by collaborating with Eumjisarang! I chose each and every page carefully, thinking that it was a diary that I would use!

If you guys use that, you’ll become some obvious idol who blatantly tries to get people to join their fan club!

There were other things in it too, but personally, I liked the set of 12 photo cards that were taken with all their passion and sincerity. Each of the six members had their own idol and everyday versions.

I had to empty out all my external hard drives that I had accumulated to create the daily version cards.

Among them, I would definitely pick Kang Ki-yeon, who smiles brightly among soap bubbles.

The coolness of the fountain and the warmth of the sun coexisted on your face. Rainbows appeared on both soap bubbles and people’s faces.

If I had submitted it somewhere else besides UA, Kang Ki-yeon’s photo would have definitely won the Photo of the Year award. Be thankful, UA.

“Now we have a real fan club.”

Jeong Seong-bin’s voice trembled. Even without seeing him, I could tell that he was touched.

“That’s right. I know you’re all busy, but let’s work a little harder until the fan meeting. Fighting!”

“Go for it!”

Everyone shouted excitedly.

My heart was pounding. It was a different kind of nervousness from the autograph session.

Won Chae-hee, 27 years old. A K-pop veteran who once had a brilliant career in home entertainment, but turned back after becoming a VIP at her favorite club, deciding never to step on the stone slab again.

It was only recently that he took out the camera he had sealed.

The appearance of a handsome man who overpowers the laws of physics. With the appearance of a visual that heralds a new era while stirring things up, Won Chae-hee feels that her past self has died and a new self has been born.

‘For now, I’m just going to take pictures. These days, there are guys who have been rookies since they were XX.’

Won Chae-hee repeated it over and over again.

Then, I filled out the application form on the fan club recruitment notice that had just opened, waited for the kit, and on the day the kit arrived, I quickly replaced the diary I had been using for half a year and decorated the diary cover with the members’ handwritten stickers.

I need to fix the habit of spending money first when I get hooked, but it wasn’t easy.

‘They said there was a lot of talk about the company, but it looks like things are going well now.’

Still, the Sparkler 1 kit was great overall. It means I don’t regret buying it.

How many X-like goods were there that passed through the trash can of Won Chae-hee’s studio? As soon as I saw them, I just sighed, so I threw them all away and changed the camera lens, which was the best thing I did.

When the fan meeting announcement came up, I searched through the community I used to bookmark and visit as if it were my daily routine to find articles about Spark.

Have these guys ever had a history of not showing up on the day of their schedule, or of having outdated reactions? … Most of the fans who are tired of spending time, money, and even emotions probably felt the same way as Won Chae-hee.

Fortunately, Won Chae-hee’s worries were unfounded. So Won Chae-hee showed off her skills after a long time and tried to get tickets. As a homemaker, her skills of participating in all of her idol’s events were still intact.

And the moment the grapes evaporated.

≫ @minamhunter

Has anyone had a successful fan meeting?

bang

Do you have it?

A post by Named Sparkler appeared on Won Chae-hee’s timeline.

≫ @minamhunter

Somehow, I thought it was too easy to visit the royal palace.

That’s when I used up all my luck in life.

≫ @minamhunter

Guys, meaningful events like fan meetings are usually held at Gocheok Sky Dome.

Otherwise, you’ll be in violation of some law

I’m going to set UA on fire

└ What law are you violating?

≫ @minamhunter

There’s no one successful around me. How did this happen??

Our kids are already shoes????

I believe that those who go will leave generous reviews with fiery loyalty. Please, please.

SNS was hot because the competition was fierce.

‘I should go and… … try to get some decent pictures.’

In this narrow and harsh life of a stone-faced person, how can we live without helping each other? Seeing the cries of the named, Won Chae-hee decided to show her philanthropic spirit.
