Episode 83

Clap clap clap-.

“Hoo hoo!”

As the screen opened and Heeseong appeared, the audience cheered.

I didn’t notice it when I was waiting in the back, but as soon as I came out on stage, my heart started pounding.

This was because more than a hundred people were cheering him on, and his face was on the screens installed everywhere.

“Okay, okay. First, please take a seat. I think everyone knows who you are by now, so would you like to introduce yourself? Where you come from and who you are?”

Hee-sung sitting in the seat that Allen Logan pointed to.

At the same time, a woman came up from below and sat down in a separate auxiliary seat.

He was the one who would be interpreting for Heeseong today.

After taking a short breath, Heeseong looked at the audience and introduced himself.

“My name is Jeong Hee-seong. I am a Korean citizen and I currently manage domestic artists.”

Allen also sat down in his seat and continued the proceedings naturally.

“If you’re talking about Korean artists, do you mean K-POP? The K-POP that people all over the world are crazy about?”

“Well, of course, I’m currently in charge of a K-pop group, but I’ve mainly been in charge of acting before. So, you’re an actor, right? That’s also why I came to the U.S. this time.”

“I heard from Karen. A Korean actor will be appearing in season 2 of . She said that thanks to Hwi-sang’s performance, an unknown actor was able to advance to Hollywood in one fell swoop. I heard he’s really talented.”

Although the word “Hwisang” was annoying, Heeseong smiled faintly.

Then, Karen, sitting next to him, corrected Heeseong’s name.

“It’s not Hwi-sang, it’s Hee-sung, Logan. You’re just like Hayden. Hayden and Hee-sung always bicker about that. There must be dozens of names of Hee-sung that Hayden has mentioned.”

“Oh my god. Haha. Sorry, Heeseong. I’m not very familiar with the Korean pronunciation. Why don’t we just unify it as K? People already know it as K.”

Heeseong also agreed without hesitation, thinking it wouldn’t matter much.

Because every time I said my name, the awkward pronunciation made me feel even more uncomfortable.

“Okay, Kay. As I mentioned in our introduction earlier, I owe Kay a lot of money. There were a lot of things my wife left behind, and I lost a lot of them. That was the Hollywood theft, and I was in a state of despair for a while.

“Uhm, yes.”

“Then, after a while, the police contacted me. They said they had caught the culprit and asked me to check the stolen items. My wife’s belongings that had disappeared were all there, and only then was I able to cry tears of joy. I felt like I had come back to life.”

This was something Heesung only found out after coming here.

Allen Logan’s wife’s belongings, who passed away five years ago, were stolen by the perpetrators of this recent crime.

And only then did I understand what Han Yu-ah had said.

Allen Logan said that he was willing to buy a house for Heesung.

For him, his wife was his whole life, and the belongings she left behind were the only things that could remind him of her.

“If they had threatened me, I would have risked everything to agree to their terms. It was like life to me.”

“So Logan owes Kay his life?”

Karen asked jokingly, but Logan nodded seriously.

“Of course. I’m not just saying this, I’m serious. I want to repay his debt. If it weren’t for Kay, I wouldn’t be living the rest of my life.”

They say that American talk shows are more host-driven than scripted, and it really seems to be true.

In fact, this kind of story may be too personal to talk about in front of a camera.

“K, I heard from Karen that you were supposed to go on her world tour. Is that true?”

“Yes, thankfully Karen was the one who made the first offer and it was too big of a deal to turn down so I gladly accepted. Along with the group I am currently in charge of.”

“Oh, that K-POP group I was talking about earlier? What’s the name of the group?”

In fact, since the group hadn’t even debuted yet, there was no way they would have a group name.

But would Heesung have appeared on America’s best talk show, Paris Tonight, without any thoughts?

The original purpose of coming here was to promote the members rather than myself. So of course I had to mention the group name.

Hee-sung smiled and answered after making eye contact with Han Yu-ah, who was standing at the bottom of the stage.

“We are VVIP. As a four-member group, we can see that they are a group with great skills who have been building their fundamentals for a very long time. Since they have not made an official debut in Korea yet, the members’ enthusiasm for this world tour is very high. Even at this moment, they are working hard and sweating while practicing.”

“Oh! VVIP? That’s quite a fancy name. Aren’t you here with me today? Since you’re here, wouldn’t it be nice to at least introduce yourself in advance?”

A smile appeared on Heeseong’s lips at Logan’s question, whose intention was clear.

Heeseong opened his mouth again, exchanging glances with Han Yu-ah.

“Actually, I said I was practicing hard right now, but I’m here with you today. Since I said I was going on this big talk show, everyone wanted to see Karen and Logan.”

“Then I guess there’s no need to wait any longer. Since we’re already here, why don’t we invite you for a moment? Let’s just say hello and leave.”

“Is that so, then?”

Although it wasn’t something that was discussed in advance, thanks to Logan’s consideration, the members came up on stage right away.

Everyone had a nervous look on their faces, but they stood behind Heesung and greeted him cheerfully.

“Hello, this is VVIP! It’s an honor to be on this great program called !”

In fact, Heeseong had told me in advance to prepare a greeting in English just in case.

Even if I didn’t have to stand in front of the camera, I thought I would definitely have a chance to say hello to Karen, Logan, and the staff here.

Then, of course, greeting in English rather than Korean will leave a better impression.

Logan clapped his hands in admiration at the members’ greetings.

“How can all K-pop groups be so robot-like? They don’t allow even a single error in their greetings, dancing, or singing. They’re just like robots.”

At those words, Heeseong looked at the members and shrugged his shoulders.

“Actually, we practiced all night last night. Korean groups usually practice like the real thing and the real thing like practice, with the mindset that ‘practice is the only way to survive.’ So the expression ‘robot’ could be seen as accurate.”

“That’s amazing. Isn’t it because of such efforts that so many people are so crazy about K-POP? Hmm. Today, we can only say hello briefly due to time constraints, but next time, we will invite you formally. As exclusive guests for Heeseong and VVIP. What do you think?”

At those words, all the members opened their eyes wide and gaped in amazement.

Even though the interpretation hadn’t been done yet, the meaning of the comment just a little while ago could be understood just by looking at it.

“Wow. That’s quite a bold offer. Logan himself promising to appear on a live broadcast to a guest. I think it’s the first time I’ve seen that.”

“It’s actually a first. Paris Tonight is a program with a long history. But the group I have in front of me now will definitely be worthy of it in the near future. I’m sure of that.”

“Are you sure? How can you be sure, Logan? Do you have the ability to see the future?”

Hee-sung felt a stinging sensation for a moment at Karen’s words.

Because he already had that ability.

‘But I’ve never seen VVIP’s success before. What makes you so sure of its success?’

This time, I didn’t hear any voices related to your members.

Up until now, everyone who Heesung has succeeded with has been able to glimpse the future and use that information to create good results, but strangely, this time there was no news.

It’s been so long since it appeared that I wonder if the ability has completely disappeared.

So, I was personally taking care of each and every one of the VVIPs without relying on my ability.

Logan suddenly wondered what basis they had for their confidence in their success.

As Karen asked, Allen Logan’s gaze scanned the four members one by one, finally stopping on Heesung.

“Because it was the group that K chose. Through this experience, I learned a lot about K, that is, the Korean Jeong Hee-seong. And I discovered one very surprising fact. The artists he took on had one thing in common.”

“Commonality? What is that?”

“Without exception, they achieved success. No matter what their past was or what their reputation was at the time, Kay took them to the very top. Without a single failure.”

“Wow! This is truly amazing!”

Karen reacted in surprise, even though she already knew the truth. Logan looked at Heeseong with tired eyes and continued speaking.

“So I am confident that this time too, Kay’s group will be successful and when they appear on Paris Tonight again, they will be in a completely different position than they are now. I promise you with everything I have.”

At those words, Heeseong let out an embarrassed laugh inside.

Because it was difficult to guess what he was promising.

If he doesn’t succeed like he said, does that mean he’ll give it his all?

With that thought, Heeseong slightly bowed his head towards Logan.

“Thank you, Logan. That means a lot to me.”

Filming continued for another 20 minutes, with the remainder of the time spent mainly talking about the Hollywood theft case.

It was natural. That was the reason why Hee-sung was hired in the first place, and the viewers of will also be more curious about the story.

After filming was over and Heesung came down from the stage, the members bowed their heads and handed him the water they had prepared.

“You’ve worked hard, hyung! Thanks to you, we’re able to appear on a program like this… … I still can’t believe if this is a dream or reality.”

“I’m getting calls from all over the place right now. It’s a mess. People are asking what’s going on and why I’m in the US all of a sudden.”

“My mom and dad are crying and making a fuss. My son, whom I thought I would never see on TV again, is appearing on such an amazing program. Wow, thank you so much, hyung.”

“I guess everyone in Korea was able to watch it right away because it was a live broadcast. There were already quite a few articles about it.”

At those words, Heeseong nodded while drinking some water.

Then, he suddenly spat out the water he had put in his mouth and opened his eyes wide and looked at the members.

“Wait, wait a minute… …Live broadcast? So that means everyone in Korea is watching this right now?”

“Right? Because it’s literally live.”

“Ha… … This is chaos, this is chaos. I didn’t tell you in advance.”

As he said that, Heeseong looked at Seungho Lee with a bewildered look.

If the family had watched the live broadcast, they would have definitely seen Heeseong and Seungho Lee together.

And, it would have been the same for my younger brother, Hee-won.
