The Trashy PD Has To Survive as an Idol

Chapter 138

Chapter 138

[Wow!!! The Dawns debut in Japan!!!]

Huh???

It was better than expected.

Lee Jihyeon jumped up, surprised, and grabbed the monitor.

[Super congrats, guys !! May you only walk on a path of flowers ]

[Wow, as expected Make that yen #LetsGo]

No, seriously, the reaction was good.

It was a public account, and though the occasional harsh swear words were sprinkled in, seeing such a positive atmosphere was rare, so Lee Jihyeon rubbed her eyes a few times.

She even checked her private account that she had prepared beforehand.

[Ah The kids are starting with Japan, as expected]

Thankfully, the atmosphere here wasnt negative either.

[It kind of felt like they were gearing up to go international (damn) Theyve been solidifying their position domestically for a year now

Its not like theyre going abroad because they failed in Korea Theyve worked hard on their recognition so its inevitable they go overseas to attract capital]

[It does seem a bit early but thankfully the period is short There are no big rookies debuting in January

A few weeks wont cause a decrease in fandom

And these cute kids are so active on V-Live, feels like theyre gonna post something again

]

Naturally, there were some negative opinions about going overseas.

Overly seasoned K-pop fans ground their teeth at the mere mention of overseas, so in a way, it was a natural reaction.

Wasnt it a win not to have been massively criticized on real-time trends?

As Seo Hoyun had said, they had really done a good job sweeping and cleaning up over the past year.

[After all, in the past year, they worked really hard on variety shows, self-content, titles..

Thank you! We are The Dawn! (entry clip)

The rising dawn! We are The Dawn! (exit clip)

This is real]

[The Dawn and Noeul always do this:

The Dawn: No comeback no way no way no way

Noeul: Dawnies always lie!

The Dawn: (Quiet)

Noeul: Huh? Really none?

The Dawn: Comeback~!!

Noeul: Keuk! Dawnies always!

Ah]

Even during the end-of-year stages, comments like Were really going to strip you bare, you damned rookies! kept popping up.

But Jihyeon hadnt expected such a positive reaction to their overseas activities and was taken aback.

Wow, amazing.

[But? If they do too many overseas tours and miss out on the influx, theyll completely uproot the radish]

[The moment you focus on overseas money and neglect domestic fans, Ill scream in front of the lobby

Ill pull down my pants next to you

Please calm down]

Yes, yep.

As she refreshed the feed and saw the new posts, Lee Jihyeon tried to collect her thoughts, but tears trickled down from her eyes.

She had truly spent the past year working like a dead person, getting pushed around by her boss and colleagues who wouldnt listen or follow trends.

She received a bonus, and it wasnt without merit, but there wasnt much time to enjoy it, and even the smallest mistake felt like her fault.

Moreover, she faced opposition from her boss, sabotage from her colleagues, and thus stress piled up incredibly

Shit Thank goodness

Therefore, the relief from the positive responses washed over her, and poor newbie Lee Jihyeon, who had been struggling madly until now, started to cry profusely.

Whaahhaaahhaa. Thank goodness.

Honestly, the debut in Japan wasnt such a big deal, and the period was short.

She thought the backlash wasnt so harsh since they were always criticized, but perhaps because of the accumulation over the past year, once it burst, a flood of sorrow rushed in.

Jihyeon forgot her embarrassment and lay in the office, crying her heart out.

Uhuhuh.

And what came to mind at the same time was the resignation letter carefully stored in her heart.

It wasnt about living a god-life, but she wanted to regain a human life.

Do I really have to go this far?

After calming down a bit and sniffling, Jihyeon quietly took out the resignation letter from her drawer and started to fill it out, fidgeting as she went.

Lets not live like this. Lets throw it all away. I want my godly life.

Then, a familiar voice came from the entrance.

Lee Jihyeon.

Seo Hoyun, with an indifferent expression and a book under his arm, leaned against the door.

Jihyeon, who was writing her resignation letter, was startled, but Hoyun just nodded and approached.

Did, did he hear?

Are you still working?

Ah, yes. Just ch-checking the debut reactions.

Lee Jihyeon felt embarrassed.

Crash.

Lee Jihyeon backed away as if she had seen a ghost, carefully placing the book on the desk without even noticing that her chair had fallen over.

However, Seo Hoyun merely responded with a nonchalant retort.

I heard you liked it?

Are you crazy?!! Its not just something I like, I worship this! Its my religion! My Bible!!

Jihyeon was shocked, as if the Bible in question truly radiated light, a blissful sight.

How did you even No, why?

Once during a meeting of the planning team, she had casually mentioned that she was a fan of this novel and wanted to get a hardcover edition.

The shock that Seo Hoyun remembered this was one thing, but how on Earth he managed to get it?

No, how did he manage to get a signed copy?

Im glad you seem to like it.

Id like to tidy it up quickly too. Take it.

Still in shock, Lee Jihyeon could only open and close her mouth, lacking the energy to reply, and she slumped back into her chair after picking it up.

Seo Hoyun simply leaned on one arm on the chair and with the other, moved the mouse to close the site Jihyeon was browsing.

Click.

Are you still planning to resign?

This guy, he saw the resignation letter.

Hesitating, Jihyeon shook her head as if enchanted, and Hoyun smiled broadly.

The complicated website closed, revealing the logo of Daepaseong Entertainment as the wallpaper.

What is this?

In front of her was either an angel who had brought her the signed first edition hardcover of the novel she worshipped, or a devil dripping sweet words to trap her.

Even if Seo Hoyun were an angel, it made no sense for him to do such a thing without reason, so the quick-witted Lee Jihyeon managed to regain her composure and asked,

Do you need a favor from me?

Ahaha.

Seo Hoyun laughed as if he liked this aspect of Jihyeon.

In contrast to her anxious face, Hoyun appeared very satisfied.

Theres something I want to do. But I wanted to check with you first.

??

Lee Jihyeon frowned and looked up at Seo Hoyun.

He averted his gaze from the Daepaseong Entertainment logo and looked down.

Lee Jihyeon.

Yes?

Seo Hoyun had been thinking about his activities in Japan, but

Are you, by chance, quite ambitious?

He was gearing up to cut off unnecessary branches to climb up quickly to the first team.

.

.

.

Hmm.

I recalled Lee Jihyeon, who had looked at me as if I were a messiah, continually pledging her loyalty.

Was that really so great?

I dont get it.

As for the hardcover book

I had gone through the trouble of getting it as a surprise gift for Kim Heeyeon after said she was a fan of the author.

But, after supporting Hojin through his CSAT and getting swamped with work, I completely forgot about it.

Even after our breakup, life was so busy that the item remained forgotten and gathered dust.

Had Lee Jihyeon not mentioned it during the briefing, it would have probably remained forgotten.

Anyway, it was a gift intended for my ex-girlfriend, but ultimately, I couldnt give it to her, and now it was too late to do so.

Not that it didnt bother me.

The item itself isnt to blame.

Shameless and without conscience, but feeling refreshed having sorted it out, I disembarked from the business class of the airplane and arrived at Narita Airport.

I greeted the airport staff while hanging around Seong Jiwon, who knew Japanese.

After going through immigration, I stuffed my passport into my pocket and looked at the scene in front of me with a fresh smile.

Wow~.

The air was a bit warmer than Koreas winter, there were characters I didnt understand, and the atmosphere was somewhat quiet.

Its Japan.

Refreshing.

I guess I did well to lay the groundwork before coming?

Indeed, one should always handle things well in advance.

Kim Seonghyeon, with a neck pillow strapped to his side, looked at me with a grimace.

I always hate it when he smiles like that, am I abnormal?

Beep. Youre normal.

Jeong Dajun responded while Kim Seonghyeon touched his forehead, and at that same moment, I found myself smiling again.

It was the beginning of our first overseas activity.
