Episode 92 Spreading Out
“Hey, Jun-il.”
“Yes… … Director.”
PD Kim Jun-il did not leave work last night and only slept for two hours.
When he came out of the company bathroom after brushing his teeth, Director Bae Ho-jin, who had just arrived at work, called him.
“Are you having a hard time these days?”
“Ah… … . No.”
PD Kim Jun-il took note.
Why is this person like this?
“No. It’s natural for it to be difficult.”
Director Bae Ho-jin approached Kim Jun-il from behind and rubbed his shoulder.
Kim Jun-il trembled with a hot expression, but the director’s hand firmly grabbed his stiff shoulders without hesitation.
‘Why on earth?’
As he was pondering, something flashed through his mind.
‘no way???’
PD Kim Jun-il hurriedly took out his cell phone and turned on YouTube.
And I checked the video you uploaded yesterday.
800 thousand!
The magnificent view count written under the video title!
A bitter smile appeared on PD Kim Jun-il’s lips.
“Ah. Director.”
His voice, which had been hunched over, became relaxed again.
The posture has also become more comfortable.
“Uh. Okay. Jun-il. Is there something you want to say?”
The director’s clear, bright eyes that I saw for the first time in my life. His gentle voice.
Kim Jun-il said, rubbing the back of his neck.
“I can’t even sleep well these days because I’m so busy… … I’m worried that if I keep doing this, it might affect the program I’m in charge of.”
“Ah! That won’t do! Do you want to take care of just one important thing and skip the rest?”
“Yes. Yes. I have a favor to ask. And regarding the production cost… … .”
“Oh! Do you need that too? Yes. I guess Stella Entertainment is on standby, but if you want better quality, you need more production costs, right?”
“As expected of the director!”
Kim Jun-il and Director Bae Ho-jin looked at each other and laughed.
It was the moment when the School Zone Project, which had been a time-wasting program, was promoted to the flagship program of NBB.

This was a video series that recently became a hot topic on NNB’s YouTube channel.
It was a channel that usually had about 200,000 to 300,000 viewers, but whenever a video from that series was uploaded, it would basically reach 2 million viewers.
England, Italy, USA, Cuba, Taiwan, Japan, India… … .
The footage always contained scenes from other countries, not here.
Han Min-ha, Yeo Min-seo, Yoon Chae-in, Hoshi Shizuka, Emily Cruz.
Pretty girls showed off their individuality there.
A strange and beautiful place.
Beautiful girls who are still growing.
The character is an idol,
The setting is a foreign country with many stories,
The event is their growth,
Who wouldn’t love a video like this?
The interview in which Han Min-ha shook his shoulders after running in an unfamiliar city until his breath was out of his head has become popular with overseas fans, reaching 10 million views.
Her flushed face, heavy breathing, and healthy, cool, straight limbs became a huge issue.
therefore.
Sometimes, legendary moments come to stars.
For example, a fancam taken while an unknown idol was performing in the rain.
For example, a photo of yourself looking back while wearing a white T-shirt and jeans.
Or the aegyo of sobbing and shaking one’s head in a variety show about military experience.
The project to find the charm of school zones planned by Lee Yong-won was like a factory that produced such ‘legendary moments.’
The video of Shizuka Hoshi laughing like a fool while shearing sheep with a sly expression has 7 million views.
Emily Cruz’s cute and energetic video of her rapping with black people in a shabby alley in America has 8.5 million views.
Yoon Chae-in’s video of herself dancing and mingling with people at an Indian wedding has garnered 8 million views. In particular, her gorgeous Indian outfit and waist that could be caught in a handful of clothes became a huge issue.
and,
Yeo Min-seo.
The footage that became her signature technique wasn’t filmed in one location.
It was a combination of footage taken in various locations.
She made a song.
England, Italy, America, Cuba, India… … .
The song that was made clumsily while strumming the acoustic guitar gradually became more perfect as the background changed.
– Ah… … . Composition? Yes. I studied hard. Well. I was just a hindrance to the team. At that time, I studied because I wanted to be of some help.
Yeo Min-seo’s shy voice overlaps with the flowing melody.
And the completed song was played against the backdrop of videos of the members touring around the world.
The ending is of Yeo Min-seo singing with her eyes slightly downcast and her hair slightly undried in a rainy Vietnam.
Two legs stretched out. Bare feet swaying.
A pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt that are worn casually but look amazing.
The sound of rain in the background.
A song that sounds like it has a lot of story.
Above all, the eyes that fall deeply.
The people shouted.
“This is romance!”
Because I’m clumsy,
Because it is lacking,
But the romance that can be felt because the heart is full.
People went crazy over it.
Relatively young people are filled with emotions that fill their hearts, and relatively older people are filled with a sense of nostalgia for those old days…
A moment that fit perfectly, like a scene from a movie.
The video became the talk of the town, garnering a whopping 15 million views.
The broadcast prepared by NBB also gained explosive popularity, with each episode achieving a viewership rating of over 15%.
Everyone loved it.
School Zone, which has already become a superstar, is showing a new side to itself, so much so that you can’t help but get hooked.
But one person cried while watching it.
While watching a video on YouTube, Baek Dong-soo, 28, remembered his first love during a school trip in his third year of high school, and cried his face into his pillow.
She cried much, much more.
It was Yeo Min-seo’s mother.
“Our Minseo… … . She’s finally smiling. She’s finally smiling… … .”
A person who was as heartbroken as Minseo, if not more so, when she received the hatred of countless anti-fans.
Even after Minseo became popular, he was still nervous.
The person who told Minseo that if she was having a hard time, she could just stop.
Even after Minseo became popular, there was one person who cried and said, “Oh my… … . My daughter. She was so scared. Why was she so nervous… … .”
Minseo’s mother cried while watching her daughter’s video posted on YouTube.
Now she seems like my daughter.
It was the first time she was captured on camera looking so comfortable, and she looked so pretty.
The mother continued to watch the five-minute video and cried.
I remembered a conversation I had with Minseo the other day.
‘Minseo, you can stop.’
‘No, Mom. I can’t stop now.’
‘Why? Because of the deposit? Don’t worry, honey. Just ask!’
‘No. It’s because of that. It’s just… … It’s hard right now, so you can’t quit.’
‘What are you talking about? If it’s hard, you should just quit.’
‘Then you run away. Why? There’s a saying. There is no paradise where you run away.’
‘So when do you quit? If things go well, then quit?’
‘Yeah. Even if it’s going well, if it’s still hard… … then I’ll really quit. Then please help me.’
The daughter who was like that didn’t quit even after things went well.
Even though my daughter always looked scared and nervous on the screen, she never thought of quitting.
‘Are you still having a hard time these days?’
‘little……?’
‘You can stop.’
‘no.’
‘Why? If things get difficult even when things are going well, then you just quit.’
‘If you stop now… … I’m sorry, I can’t.’
At that time, Minseo didn’t say who she was sorry to, but her mother noticed in an instant.
The main character is none other than Lee Yong-won, who created her concept.
So, my mother was grateful but also annoyed.
The mother was always worried that her daughter might get hurt more emotionally if she overdid it.
But now she could just relax and be grateful.
“Thank you… … . Thank you… … .”
Finally seeing her daughter at ease and loved as she was, she cried and cried.

“Yes. Please continue to take care of yourself. Yes. Have a good night.”
As Min Hee-sung, CEO of Stella Entertainment, hung up the phone, the secretary standing in front of him asked.
“Are you designer Lee Yong-won?”
“yes.”
“He seems really great. Everything he touches becomes a huge success. The whole country is buzzing about the ‘School Zone Project’ these days!”
The secretary’s voice was filled with excitement.
I couldn’t help but be happy that one of the company’s signs, the School Zone, was doing well.
However, CEO Min Hee-sung’s expression was rather indifferent.
“Well, it’s not bad.”
“Huh? Sir, why are you so indifferent? Is it because if this goes well, you’ll have to increase the percentage for ?”
At those words, CEO Min Hee-sung burst into laughter.
“There’s probably no way to increase the ratio.”
“Yes? Why?”
“I said I’d give you a 1% raise if sales doubled. I said I’d give you a 2% raise if sales tripled.”
“Huh?”
The secretary was surprised.
I didn’t know the details of the contract, but even so, those were the conditions…
“Do you think it’s too salty?”
“Joe, a little?”
“But that’s only natural. We’re paying all the costs of this project. And it’s not a performance bonus, it’s a profit share. We have to continue to share it at that rate as long as the school zone continues to operate. If it’s not under those conditions, it’s difficult to raise it.”
“okay.”
“Yes. So the ratio won’t go up.”
“Well, the school zone is already top-notch.”
School Zone may not be a mid-level idol group, but they were considered the best among the 5th generation idols.
It means that everyone who is going to consume has already consumed.
That team’s sales doubled?
It was never easy.
“Well… … if it hits number one on Billboard and dominates the American market, that would be another matter.”
Min Hee-seong speaks calmly.
But he added:
“Still… … . It’s nice to see the kids happy. Honestly, I’m grateful. Even if there’s no adjustment in the ratio, it might be okay to share it out a bit like a performance bonus.”
The School Zone members’ appearances reflected on the monitor.
A smile appeared on Min Hee-sung’s lips as he looked at it.

Korean idols are beings who ‘act cuteness.’
They have no soul.
Ava Lawrence, one of America’s most celebrated actresses, always thought so.
Maybe that’s why.
I just happened to fall completely in love with the videos of Korean female idols that came up in the algorithm.
In particular, she was very infatuated with Minseo.
So much so that I cut up her original songs and put them on my playlist and listen to them on repeat every day.
“Oh, my gosh. She’s going to cry again. I don’t want my makeup to smudge.”
Ava Lawrence fanned her eyes, desperately trying to blow away the tears that were threatening to well up.
What she was watching was a video about Minseo’s anti-fans who interrupted the second showcase in School Zone.
She was now so into it that she searched for videos related to Minseo separately.
And the more she got to know Minseo, the more she loved her.
Minseo in the rain, who somehow manages to emerge from a fearful and gloomy situation and sing her own song.
I think it’s a lie to think that Korean idols have no soul!
Where in the world can you find such a beautiful soul?
Ava fell in love with the story itself, Minseo.
Ava, who was watching the video absentmindedly, was woken from her thoughts by the staff member’s voice knocking on the waiting room door.
“Miss Ava. It’s time to shoot.”
“Ah. Okay. I’ll go out.”
She put down her cell phone, quickly dried her tears with a fan, and opened the waiting room door.
It was time to appear on the Helen Show, which is considered the best talk show in America.
