Episode 108 Radiation Winnie

What you see from the outside is different from what you see from the inside.

It’s always like that.

Professionals who seem intelligent and rational, such as prosecutors and doctors, often cause social controversy through internal bullying and harassment.

Celebrities are the same.

When others see him, he always seems to be treated well, with bodyguards around and bullying staff… … but in fact, that’s not always the case.

The CEO of the agency also gaslights,

Seniors also use their vacation days to press and hold the button,

People with power like PDs sometimes block things.

So what should you do when something like this happens?

First, you have to overcome it yourself.

External attacks can be blocked by fans and security guards, but internal attacks cannot.

Getting help from others is a secondary issue, but once the situation arises, you have to deal with it yourself.

But the situation Minseo faced was by no means easy for her, now 19 years old, to overcome.

“Minsu? Why don’t you read my texts?”

At that time, Minsu was alone in the waiting room.

There was still some time left until the radio program I was scheduled to appear on started.

The door opened slightly, and Winnie from Radiation came in.

Minseo was nervous.

Winnie.

The youngest member of the legendary K-pop boy group Radiation.

An active idol who has been active for over 10 years since debut.

“Oh, hello, senior!”

Minseo greeted him stiffly, despite being her senior.

Winnie has always been a burden and an inconvenience, but never more so than now.

Minseo was alone in the waiting room.

Winnie closed the door.

This was the first time the two of us were alone in one space.

How did you know?

If you have some experience as a radio personality, is it because you have a lot of contacts at the broadcasting station?

But Winnie stood at the door and spoke cautiously, as if she understood Minseo’s discomfort.

“Oh, sorry. I was resting… … . Are you surprised?”

Minseo wanted to say that she was surprised and uncomfortable, but she couldn’t bring herself to say that to her senior.

“Oh, no, sir. What’s wrong?”

The most rudeness she could muster was to ask what was going on.

But until then, I had thought for a moment that I could just hush it up and send Winnie away.

But the next moment, Minseo felt suffocated and suffocated.

“Yeah. I thought you might be busy and not be able to see my text.”

“ah…….”

It’s not that I didn’t see it. I just didn’t see it, but Winnie spoke innocently as if she knew nothing.

“Tonight, we’re planning on having a drink with our senior and junior idols. What do you think?”

Minseo answered quickly.

“I’m sorry, senior… … . I’m still a minor, so I can’t go to bars.”

Winnie smiled brightly.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. We have a hideout. I’m a VIP there, so it’s okay! We’ll get a room where only we are. Security is tight, so a lot of celebrities come there. Even kids younger than you come? And when you ask for alcohol, I don’t give it to you. Drink cider. Cider.”

“No. Our CEO is strict about this. Really. I’m sorry. Later, when you become an adult, please call me then.”

Minseo bowed her head deeply and felt relieved inside.

Today, I couldn’t be more thankful that I’m still a minor.

‘What can I say when they say I can’t go because I’m a minor?’

“Really? Then I guess there’s nothing I can do… … . I was going to introduce you to my juniors who do the same job.”

Winnie blinked with regret.

‘Phew… Is this the end?’

As Minseo felt relieved, Winnie’s eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Minseo’s phone, which she was holding tightly.

“Huh? But isn’t that a new Lucifone product?”

“Huh? Oh, yes.”

“Wow! Isn’t that not out yet?”

“Yes. Thanks to the sponsorship from Lucifer… … .”

“Hey. How’s it going? Can I take a look? It looks pretty! I was thinking about buying that too.”

“Oh? Yes. Yes.”

Minsu wanted Winnie to leave quickly, but she hesitated and handed over the phone.

“Hmm.”

Winnie took Minseo’s phone and looked around it briefly.

“Hey you bitch.”

He swore with a smiling face.

“yes?”

Minseo froze in place.

Violence is originally most effective when it goes beyond the opponent’s common sense.

That’s exactly what Winnie is doing now.

As fellow celebrities, as adults and as minors, they are crossing the line that is believed to be maintained between each other.

Only then did Minseo realize.

Why did Winnie take my phone?

He had written it first in case someone secretly recorded it.

From then on, Winnie’s verbal abuse poured out.

“You are a fucking idiot. Do you think your senior looks like X?”

“Ah, no… … .”

“No, it’s not like that. Hey. I’m just trying to be friendly and get to know you better, is that so X-like? No. If you don’t want to come, just say you can’t come. Why do you always ignore my texts? Are you that great? Don’t you have any hierarchy just because you’re doing well?”

Minseo kept her mouth tightly shut.

My head was in disarray.

Winnie was swearing so shamelessly that I was momentarily confused.

‘What? Did I really do something wrong?’

Winnie approached threateningly, as if she had gained momentum.

“Hey. Take it easy. Don’t be so crazy about star disease already. Come to your senses, you punk.”

Thud! Thud!

His fist struck Minseo’s shoulder twice hard.

It hurt so much that tears welled up in my eyes.

So, Winnie has once again gone beyond common sense.

After swearing and going beyond common sense, you overcome the final psychological resistance of ‘hitting’.

A weak-hearted person would panic if something like this happened.

The other person is acting beyond common sense without any concern, but there is no way for you to deal with it within the limits of common sense.

It’s so terrifying.

What kind of outrageous thing will that person do next?

Winnie was someone who knew this very well.

He has known and used the method of controlling the psychology of others through violence since he was young.

“Just come once. I told you the other kids are coming too? Just come once to save face, why the f*ck? Are you making things complicated? Do you know how much people talk behind your back when you act like a jerk?”

He pushed Minseo away, talking as if she was the problem because she was selfish and arrogant.

puck!

Once again, Winnie’s fist struck Minsu’s shoulder.

And Minsu, without even flinching, took the punch and gritted her teeth and said.

“Senior. I clearly told you that I don’t want to do it. But you keep pressuring me. That’s why I feel burdened and don’t even contact you.”

Winnie let out a hollow laugh at Minseo’s response.

“Are all school zones that cheap? Why are you making enemies like this? You really are going to… … on this earth.”

Winnie tried to threaten something.

He wanted to appeal to her by mobilizing all his connections, including the PDs and reporters he was dealing with as siblings, that he could ruin not only her image but also the image of the school zone.

No matter how successful a celebrity is, no, the more successful a celebrity is, the closer they are to the abyss.

But before he could even finish threatening her,

“Ahh!”

He grabbed my arm and screamed.

“uh?”

Winnie flinched.

Because Minseo’s actions also went beyond common sense.

Conflicts between celebrities are best resolved among the celebrities themselves.

Even if you tell that to an unspecified number of people, if an article is published and the facts are distorted, the celebrity will end up being the one who suffers.

This was especially true in cases where there was a large age gap, like Winnie and Minsu.

No matter how much School Zone is a rising trend, it cannot compare to Radiation, which has built a solid fan base for 10 years.

If there is even an article saying that there is conflict between the two, School Zone, who is the junior, will end up getting criticized.

Celebrities are beings who instinctively calculate these dynamics.

Winnie knew this fact well and had been using it to toy with her juniors.

It’s never been a problem before.

But this time he made a mistake.

He overlooked the fact that among the juniors he had touched so far, none was as popular as Minseo.

He also didn’t realize that Minseo was much more strong-willed than she looked.

“help!”

Minseo screamed loudly.

“What, what is it? What’s going on?”

When the staff nearby opened the door and came in hurriedly, what he saw was Minseo, who was crying with one hand on her shoulder, and Winnie, who had an embarrassed look on her face.

“Winnie… …? Isn’t this Minseo’s waiting room?”

Winnie turned around, smiling kindly.

“Oh, that’s it… … .”

When he was about to make an excuse, Minseo shouted sharply.

“Senior! Give me back my phone!”

But Winnie laughed.

Rather, he seemed relaxed.

“Yeah. Yeah. I’m sorry. It was my fault. I thought I was joking, but I shouldn’t have. I’m really sorry. I forgot how sensitive you are before the comeback.”

He turned around, handing the phone over to Minseo and apologizing as if he was sincere.

Then he bowed to the staff members who had gathered around him.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

After Winnie left, the staff asked with confused looks.

Judging from Winnie’s attitude, it seemed like Winnie was joking and Minsu was overreacting to it.

“What happened?”

In response to the staff’s questions, Minsu did not muddle through the situation but told the truth.

Showing his red shoulder from having just been punched.

“Senior Winnie hit me… … because I refused to go to a bar… … .”

The steps’ eyes opened wide.

* * *

– I felt like I couldn’t back down here… … . I felt like if I didn’t explain and show it clearly, I would continue to be dragged around… … .

Minseo’s voice was full of moisture, and a thousand fires rose in my chest.

“Yeah. Good job. Really good job.”

Did you do a good job?

I was frustrated with myself for being able to say only those words.

– I really don’t want to cause trouble with something like this… … . Those guys will keep doing that if I don’t show them that I can bite them too… … . I couldn’t help it. I have to say everything without hiding anything. I really… … . hate that so much… … .

Minseo also said she had no intention of making a big deal out of this.

Even if I had filed a complaint for assault and fought over the truth, I would have just been dragged into the mud together with the school zone.

So, what the guy did was a kind of pretexting.

He made it clear that he was the victim so that no other words would come out later through the staff.

Did you prepare the witness in advance?

It was just to show that if you let it slide for now, you can still get bitten by this person.

It was a wise response for someone so young, but… … .

Still, the psychological pressure and sadness that Minseo must feel is inevitable.

Evil must be confronted, but those who fight against it are always miserable and suffering.

So Minsu cried. Sobbing.

And I… … .

I’m angry.

To myself.

If anti-fans were the problem like before, I would have done something about it.

As I am neither a celebrity nor a broadcasting station employee, I was extremely helpless in this matter.

Is there really no way to protect Minseo from being hurt in places beyond my reach?

“Minseo. Did you tell CEO Min Hee-sung?”

– Not yet… … .

“I’ll tell you. You just rest for now.”

– No. I’ll tell you… … . It’s related to the school zone… … .

“… … Okay. Tell me quickly.”

– Sniff. Yes. But I feel a little better after talking to the PD. Thank you. I’ll contact you again!

Minseo’s phone call was disconnected.

I gritted my teeth and stared at my phone for a long time.

What can I do?

I can’t just sit still and do nothing because it’s out of reach.

If my strength is not enough, I will borrow the strength of others!

I called immediately.

– Hey, bro! What’s going on?

“Ji-hoon. Let me ask you something.”

First of all,

It was time to find out.

Winnie of Radiation.

What the hell is this punk doing?
