If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love - Chapter 171



171 – Let’s Take the Poisoned Chalice and Throw Away the Poison.

Episode 171

I sat in Two Bear’s conference room, leisurely drinking honey tea and talking to broadcast PD Yoo-jeong, who was stomping his feet.

“Tell me. Why do you want to use Yeoreum on TV?”

PD Seon Yu-jeong, who expressed her intention to recruit Yeoreum, tilted her head and asked.

“Wasn’t that already written in the synopsis? Ms. Summer will be the main participant in our program.”

“Let’s skip the obvious remarks. You already know what I’m asking, right? Rather than saying such an obvious thing, I am asking why you are trying to put a controversial bomb called Jin Yeoreum, which has a large anti-fandom, into a normal broadcast.”

“Hmm… , Is it possible to no comment?”

I spoke firmly to PD Seon Yu-jeong, who was trembling.

“If you are not willing to say that, we at Two Bear will reject Jin Yeo-eul’s invitation to appear.”

“Oh, that’s difficult. … But what if I tell you a lie? If you pretend not to know and just tell good stories, won’t it be easy?”

“You don’t have to worry. I have the eyes to see that much. Otherwise, you shouldn’t be working on this floor.”

Seon Yu-jeong erased her somewhat dazed expression and smiled, then she said.

“I think conversation will work. It seems that it wasn’t just a fluke that he rose from the position of manager to a hot topic in the broadcasting industry. Certainly, such character settings and versatility would not be possible without preparation and design. Great. “I will admit it.”

… That’s a fluke.

“I’ll be honest with you. Of course, as you might expect, I am trying to do noise marketing with Ms. Jin Yeo-reum. “There is no such thing as a popular dance-centered program in this country, right?”

“I remember that a long time ago, a program called ‘Dancing and Star’ got a pretty good response, right?”

“That was when this country itself was crazy about survival programs. And for a survival program that put in a large number of celebrities and even introduced text voting, it was not successful. At least I said everything because the diving program also had low viewership ratings due to its popularity.”

But isn’t that what makes the diving program so great?

“By the way, this is why I want to recruit Summer. Because our program needs topicality. “It’s a topic that creates a buzz before the broadcast somehow and gets people to watch the first episode.”

“If the broadcasting is done properly, it won’t be that difficult to attract attention.”

“No, I don’t know about other programs, but our program is not focusing on famous celebrities, but is gathering people mainly from real dancers who are well-known underground. It will be difficult to aim for such a rebound.”

No. The program that Seon Yu-jeong is trying to do now will have an exponential impact and topicality because it is done by gathering real dancers with an underclass focus.

Of course, as a person who did not know that and was ‘asked’ to cast Yeoreum for the sake of topicality, it was information that did not need to be told.

“What structure do you have in mind?”

“Seeking salvation? Of course, it is free competition and survival between each participating member.”

“Don’t pretend like you don’t know. There is a structure or role created by recruiting Yeoreum, right? … “So to speak, a target.”

“Haha, well, I can’t hide this. There was a rumor that Team Leader Sun was the one who led the girls’ 100 hits, but after seeing Team Leader Sun in person, I feel like it’s credible. … What do you think about this rumor?”

“… You’re joking too far. How does one person broadcast? It just exploded because it had to explode.”

Seon Yu-jeong looked at me with strange eyes and said.

“Well, I like it. First of all, Team Leader Seon’s guess is correct. I think the main concept of this show is the contrast between the underground and the mainstream. “It’s not a pretense of friendly competition while supporting each other, but it’s a raw broadcast that mixes in aggressive diss.”

It felt different from the picture I saw on the broadcast from the future.

I don’t know how the changes that occurred when I returned, but they seemed to have influenced Seon Yu-jeong as well.

“But if you deal with such a confrontational situation, the under side would be at a huge disadvantage, right? Main has a solid fan base to protect them. Also, since the main stream itself has a lot to lose, there is a high probability that it will go passively.”

“It means that summer will be the target to set the mood.”

This was probably natural.

It’s not just something that happens on that broadcast, it’s because Yeoreum will be the target no matter which broadcast she goes on.

What Producer Seon Yu-jeong was aiming for was to add storytelling that would make it an interesting element of the broadcast.

“… It’s perfect. It’s embarrassing because I feel like I’m being robbed of what I have to say.”

I shook my head once and spoke in front of Seon Yoo-jeong, who was sticking out her tongue.

“There is no need for such sugar-coating. Let’s get to the point. Since you prepared for that risk, didn’t you also prepare for a return that will captivate us?”

“What if there isn’t one?”

“What are you asking such an obvious question? Then, of course, the conversation ends here.”

“Oh my, you’re so scared… Luckily, it’s there. Return.”

Seon Yu-jeong turned her laptop to show the screen she was looking at.

On the screen, there was a brief summary related to the broadcast volume and structure.

All other parts were similar to what I expected, but there was one thing that caught my eye.

“Behind the scenes intro? “What is this that takes up so much time?”

“That’s how much Yeoreum will go solo. “I’ll make a pretty picture by combining things like malicious comments I’ve experienced in the past and efforts I’ve made.”

“… Are you going to spend 20 minutes of a two-hour broadcast showing a personal narrative? Not in the other episode, but in episode 1?”

“That’s right. Not only will it be cut, but the portions will be distributed normally from then on. Rather, for the sake of topicality, they will be seen more than other participants. … So much so that there is controversy over preferential treatment .”

“…”

“This is the return I have prepared. How do you feel?”

Seon Yu-jeong raised the corners of her mouth and said.

“Why don’t we try washing the image together?”

***

Producer Seon Yu-jeong’s suggestion was close to her poisoned chalice.

First of all, the fact that Yeoreum’s story can be strongly shown in a program scheduled in the future through public broadcasting and later rising to stardom through topicality will have a stronger ripple effect than the production of a documentary for Yeoreum that we had planned in the future.＜ Br＞

It was safe to say that there would be no stronger PR than that in improving the image.

But the risk was very great.

According to what can be inferred from the previous conversation, Seon Yu-jeong will take steps to protect Yeo-reum on the air. However, the cast members will encourage Yeoreum to attack.

Emotional video of Biho focusing on Yeoreum. The aggressive words of haters who seem to be compared to Yeoreum, and people who say them in Yeoreum’s face.

The composition is good. However, we should not overlook that those who make such criticism also have a strong fan base.

Producer Seon Yoo-jeong didn’t seem to think so, but she said the fandom of the under cast members was much stronger and more powerful than expected. And the confrontation with them may not lead Yeoreum to become a tragic heroine, but to her being seen as a bourgeoisie who should be buried.

… No, if there were no variables, that would be closer to marriage. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Yeoreum is now a public enemy.

From noble mtl dot come

However, on the other hand, if public opinion about Yeoreum is guided in a slightly more positive direction, or if fans of Yeoreum and Revolutionary Girls create ‘grounds’ to protect her, then Seon Yu-jeong’s request to be cast is now possible. ‘Ready to Dance’ could serve as a starting point to change public opinion surrounding Yeoreum.

[‘Information-related compensation options’ are used. ‘Deep-rooted transaction history’ will be provided as a selection reward.]

It is no exaggeration to say that the’deep-rooted transaction history’used to find the culprit who leaked information about Yeoreum, who was hiding her identity under the pseudonym Sunny, is the best reward among information-related rewards. ＞

This reward, which lists information over a certain period of time by simply designating a specific person, is simple, but boasts a quality of information that is on a different level from rewards such as ‘Eavesdropping at my will’ or ‘Only you watch CCTV ‘.

However, this ‘deep-rooted transaction history’ also has its drawbacks.

The point was that if the person’s transaction details became extensive enough to exceed a certain standard, it could not be used.

Naturally, when I got this deep-rooted transaction history, I was going to use it for Summer. For example, writing to the doctor who used drugs on Yeoreum at that time.

However, the message I saw was one that clearly made me feel those shortcomings.

[The amount of transactions held by the target is too large. Not available.]

This meant that ‘deep-rooted transaction details’, which are also used by entertainment industry reporters, could not be used because the amount of transactions held by a single doctor was much larger.

It was quite meaningful when you remember that that message only comes from big-time politicians.

However, there was no special way for the system to fail.

Feeling sorry, I was content with using the ‘deep-rooted transaction details’ to the reporter and tried to forget about the doctor, but I changed my mind when I saw the reward I got last time.

[Specify the target of ‘non-slip reinforced hammer.’]

[Deep-rooted transaction history is selected.]

There was a belief that if there was a ‘non-slip reinforcing hammer’, a reward that strengthens the reward regardless of the type, it would be possible to overcome the restrictions imposed by the system and obtain information to defend Yeoreum.

[Would you like to use the ‘non-slip reinforced hammer’?]

“…”

Gulp.

When I actually saw the message, I was so nervous that my fingertips were shaking.

This is because there is a chance of destruction of this crappy reward even though it is labeled as non-slip.

When I first saw the message ‘Reward has been destroyed’ in the previous episode, I was no joke, banging my head on a pillar and cursing the system for making dirty puns.

“… “Please, let’s live up to the name, you idiot.”

Since it was used 5 times in the previous round and was successful once, the probability of success was expected to be approximately 20%.

Or it could be less, or more, but there is no way to know, so it was easier to just think of it as 20%.

I had some doubts as to whether not using the reinforced hammer would have been a wiser choice, but when I remembered that the reward with the added name (Special) was three times more effective when I succeeded, I felt sad about giving up.＜ Br＞

20% is worth it, right? When I play games, I only succeed at 0.02%, so please do something about it!

I put my hands together and spoke reverently.

“Use.”

[The reinforced hammer swings.]

Please!

After gathering all the gods I knew and praying, I carefully opened my eyes.

The message was floating.

[Congratulations! The reinforcement was a great success despite the legendary odds!]

[Incredibly deep-rooted transaction history (legend)]

“…”

… What is this?
