If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love - Chapter 159
159 – I Went on a Date.
Episode 159
The idol industry can never avoid the category of pseudo-relationship.
The agency also knows very well the poison that this pseudo-relationship brings. However, this was unavoidable if the goal was not only to sell music as an artist, but also to build a ‘fandom’ as a business.
The music market is a red ocean.
There were many who reached out for the star, a very small number of whom had everything in their hands.
The number of trainees who debuted last year was about 150, and the number of idol groups that debuted over the past 10 years is close to 500.
These are all competitors and options before the public.
What you need to win in the face of countless options is extremely loyal fans. We need a being who judges with emotion, not reason.
Rather than the general public who simply admires a good album and downloads a song, what is needed is someone who is willing to devote themselves to being ‘us’ and not ‘others’ even if it costs a lot of money.
A kind of expedient method that deviates from fair competition, such as streaming to multiple air systems, increasing YouTube views, increasing music score by purchasing a large number of albums, and voting through text messages.
Idols with a strong ‘fandom’ who lead this ultimately rise to the top.
Fandom is important. And pseudo-relationships are the most powerful hand to build the loyalty of the fandom. However, I knew very well what negative effects the excessive concentration of this fandom had.
That’s right, because in the previous episode, I was the one who was better at this ‘fandom’ business than anyone else for the past 10 years.
Therefore, in this episode, the concept and promotion strategy of ‘Girl Revolution’ was established with the goal of establishing a fandom, but rather than focusing on popularity and focusing on pseudo-relationships as a sales point, it focused more on the artist aspect .
This is because I thought it was for the children and that it would have a more positive impact in the long run.
However, in this country, since the title of idol was used and the main characters were four children who were more attractive than anyone else, the theme of pseudo-love was not completely avoidable.
Simply put, Park Ye-ji’s case is one such example.
Even though the culture of respecting the privacy of artists has increased compared to the first and second generation idols, the underlying psychology of such fans has not yet disappeared.
Therefore, unless the children have fully matured as idols and the fans secretly allow it, after the end of the contract or at the end of the contract, unfortunately, children should be prohibited from dating.
And winter also knew all this.
“I love you. “I truly love Teacher Taeyang.”
And even though she knew it, winter confessed her feelings to me.
“…”
How long did that timid child have to hesitate before saying those words?
I do not know. But I could guess.
It won’t be a momentary feeling.
After building up and building up, I couldn’t bear to say it and burst out.
That’s right, Winter was a wise child, and a child who would know the meaning of that confession better than anyone else.
Nevertheless, no, rather, that is why what I had to say was decided.
“I’m sorry.”
“…”
“I cannot accept your heart.”
Because that’s what the manager should have said.
***
While I was having a quick drink with Seok Hyeon-woo, Song Yo-han, and James Oh, a woman spoke to me.
“… “Can you please sign it?”
“Is this the sign of a girl revolution? I’m sorry, but it’s a private event and the kids aren’t around right now. When I’m with my kids later, if I see them…”
“No, not the girl revolution. “It is Seon Tae-yang’s autograph.”
“… “I’m a manager?”
“Yes! “I’m a fan of Manager Sun Taeyang!”
Since he didn’t have an autograph ready, he just took a picture.
Even though she was kind in her own way, the woman continued to stand without leaving because she had other business to attend to.
“Do you have anything left to say?”
“… Ah, that’s it. Is it possible to share seats? We are also four women.”
James O admired those words as if it were amazing and said.
“Combined seating? Wow, it’s been a long time since something like this happened. We’re okay…”
“It’s not possible. “We’re talking about something important.”
“… “It won’t work.”
What kind of combination is this? If you get caught by Isabella, you and I will both die.
When she sent the strange woman who claimed to be her fan, Yohan Song smiled strangely and said.
“Anyway, the impact of the ‘first-person observer’ seems to be enormous. “I can clearly feel that Team Leader Seon’s reputation is increasing day by day.”
Seok Hyeon-woo also laughed and said.
“I feel that the most as someone who works as a manager with me. “I’m just a celebrity.”
“Why do you even call me a celebrity? “It’s not that bad.”
“You have fan letters, so how can you not be a celebrity?”
“A fan letter?”
Is this your first time hearing this story?
“Oh, by the way, I haven’t told you what she said yet. The company keeps fan letters, so take them with you next time. The amount is quite large, so bring a shopping bag with you.”
“…”
The special episode of ‘First-Person Observer’ that aired later received an unprecedented response even though it was an entertainment special.
Even though there were no special issues, people’s attention was already drawn to the pleasant issue of a manager subduing a robber with his bare hands. In the meantime, CBS really turned off the aggro by saying that it would reveal all the circumstances and activities in high definition on public television.
The video that was released like that was a video that portrayed me as if I was a prince riding a white horse from some kind of romance comic, probably out of writer Inabi’s selfish interest.
To me, the video was so cringe-worthy that I couldn’t help but feel nauseous, but perhaps other people didn’t see it that way, so it led to an explosive reaction.
Did you really instill the fantasy of being a manager?
“Team Leader Sun has ruined the perception of industry managers. Now, people think that there are one or two managers like Team Leader Seon. But is there anyone else in the world like Team Leader Seon? I had a chance to see the counter kids I saw on Girls 100 again, and they were whining and asking, ‘Why isn’t there a team leader at our agency?’”
“… If you actually work with me, the illusion will be shattered quickly.”
James Oh smiled and spoke kindly.
“You’re not going to do that, are you? “Think about how our kids look at team leader Seon.”
“…”
I couldn’t help but laugh at that.
He spoke as if he was reminded of Seok Hyeon-woo, who took a cold sip of beer.
“Oh, now that I think about it, it seems like Winter has been strangely avoiding Team Leader Seon these days. What happened?”
“Hey, it’s not like I’m avoiding it. How much does Gyeoreum follow the team leader? … But it seemed like he was conscious of something.”
From noble mtl dot come
James Oh, who was eating only the brisket from the stir-fried bean sprouts, looked puzzled and asked.
“What really happened?”
“…”
It would be deception to pretend not to know this and ignore it.
That’s why I opened my mouth in the midst of all the gaze,
“I hurt Winter.”
“Ah…”
“Like that.”
“… “Can I help you apologize?”
I shook my head.
“Thank you for your words, but this is what I have to do.”

“Winter, speaking of today’s schedule, as I said last time, it overlaps with the strike issue, so it’s okay to take a break today.”
I got to the point with a bit of nervousness as Gyeol-gyeol was wringing his hands while looking at me.
“So, can you spare me some time today? That’s because I have a lot of things I want to talk about with you. “I’ll buy you something delicious.”
The winter snow began to tremble.
Winter, who had been gaping for a while, opened her mouth with difficulty.
“… “Me.”
He seemed hesitant, so I added as much additional information as he came to mind.
“Let’s go and play games together and go to the cafe you said you wanted to go to the other day.”
“… “That.”
“Oh, how about meeting my sister after a long time? “I pretended not to, but my sister wanted to see you.”
Winter, who unconsciously grabbed my sleeve her with his hand shaking, took his hand her her away and opened his mouth as if he was surprised by himself.
“… W.”
W?
“Female… , I’ll practice some more!”
Just like that, winter retreated and disappeared.
At that time, Cheon Aram appeared from behind and spoke.
“You ran away.”
“Were you watching?”
“Yeah, it smells so strong that it’s hard to pretend not to know.”
Perhaps Cheon A-ram understood most of the situation.
It would have been impossible to hide it from the beginning, given her abilities.
Cheon Aram spoke as if comforting me.
“It may be difficult, but I believe Team Leader Seon will respond wisely.”
“… “I will reward your faith.”
As if to change the heavy atmosphere, Cheon A-ram changed her tone somewhat lightly.
“Oh, by the way, Team Leader Sun is receiving a lot of invitations?”
“Recruitment? “Is this an invitation to the girls’ revolution?”
“No, I want to use manager Sun Taeyang as a panelist.”
… To film me and use it for something.
“… Where?”
Then Cheon A-ram took out her smart phone, checked it, and said.
“I’ll leave aside the little things and only talk about the big things. There is a martial arts entertainment program, a light talk show with the main MC and two assistant MCs, a travel entertainment show with girl groups, and a documentary. Oh! There is also a web drama.”
Why are there so many?
“If there is a broadcast that helps the image of the girl revolution, I will broadcast it, but if not, I will not broadcast it. “Right now I want to focus on my job as a manager.”
“They pay a lot of money?”
“I am still receiving a lot of money. … Above all, I think that working as a manager can help the children more than just appearing on a broadcast.”
After hearing what I said, she nodded her head and quietly repeated, ‘As expected of a good team leader.’
She then said in a slightly playful tone.
“In that sense, the schedule I would like Team Leader Seon to make!”
Cheon A-ram handed me her smartphone and showed me a program plan.
I read the title.
[Music Road – Love and Song]
“This?”
When I expressed my doubts, Cheon A-ram smiled slightly and said.
“Team Leader Seon. “I went on a date with Ga Eul.”
