The Trashy PD Has To Survive as an Idol

Chapter 122

Chapter 122

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon: Lea Purple?

Shes like a ghost.

I let out a snicker and waited for a moment.

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon: First of all

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon: Absolutely

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon: Do not ever touch them

Me:

I sent a reply laden with the meaning, You think Im out of my mind?

It was something both Lea Purple and I were already aware of.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

What I wanted from Jihyeon was a way to somehow make this Bluetooth Circus Troupe look cooler, even if just conceptually.

Me: You know what Im asking, right?

Me: Ah, Im really looking forward to this one too

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon:

Jihyeons replies stopped for a bit.

She wasnt the same Jihyeon who used to excitedly spill out her favorite ideas in front of the team leader with sparkling eyes.

She had leveled up, so to speak. Of course, it was in a dark attribute.

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon: Um Hoyun-ssi

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon: Actually, Ive been really tired these days because of too much work;;

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon: And theres this new event for my favorite character starting and I failed at my last attempt

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon: To get even one special card of our Celestial Pilot, Id need to spin at least a hundred times and thats not even enough to fully max it out

What are you talking about?

Was she asking for a bonus? I barely deciphered her meanings.

I didnt care whether Jihyeon got the game cards she wanted, and I didnt even understand some of the words, but I was willing to grant her wish.

Of course, it wasnt my money, but the companys.

Me: CEO

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon: Is double possible?

Me: What do you take me for?

Me: Of course, Ill make sure you get your favorite cards

Me: No matter how many ^^

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon:

Planning Team Lee Jihyeon: Ill sort it out and send it to you via email ^^! As expected, The Dawns top visual gets things done quickly, the best~

Jihyeon is funny, isnt she?

I chuckled and turned off my phone.

It was rewarding to see that the foundation I had solidly built up within the company, starting with the Jeong Dajun incident and then periodically causing some ruckus, was paying off.

While enjoying the slightly chilly breeze, which felt refreshing, I sensed someone behind me.

Why?

Ah.

Expecting it to be one of our members, I turned around emotionlessly, only to see Lea Purples main dancer fidgeting with her fingers, wondering how to start a conversation.

Ah, hello!

Hello.

Despite there being no one else around, Lea Purples main dancer looked around anxiously, as if she were at a crime scene, and let out a soft breath.

Im so s-sorry. I just wanted to apologize for any inconvenience our agency might have caused.

Its not Lea Purples fault, though.

That um, it still must be uncomfortable for The Dawn.

I wished they would at least stop with the sexy concept if they were going to make us collaborate.

Lea Purples main dancer lowered her gaze and spoke in a slightly defeated tone.

We are the Bluetooth Circus Troupe, after all.

She knew it all along.

We cant help it! Im really sorry, for real! If we try to make a pretty stage and get involved with each other, we either get caught in a scandal or mocked for being the Bluetooth Circus Troupe. Its a lose-lose situation, right??

It is a tough choice

Right??!!

Even though she was the one who proposed the idea, her pale face suggested she realized it wasnt a good one after trying it out. When I showed a bit of agreement, the main dancer scratched her cheek and finally brought up what she really wanted to say.

Im not asking for understanding, but you see, in our second year after debut a rumor exploded.

I knew it. It was a scandal.

For an idol, it was a fatal issue. Not only was it false, but it had also blown up terribly because they were linked with a rather famous male idol group at the time, making recovery rather difficult.

The Victory is Mine, you know it, right? Ah, of course, you would. Hoyun-ssi, you were famous back then.

Yes, I know it.

At the time we appeared, we barely exchanged greetings with the group we were up against, but the editing made it look strange.

Just thinking about it made the main dancer shiver.

Oh, no. I was just thinking youre amazing. I knew you were famous for practicing hard, but it looks like youre still at it even now.

It was 100 percent sincere, but the more she spoke, the more it sounded like she was being sarcastic. Just as she wished she could sew her mouth shut, Seong Jiwon smiled ambiguously.

It bothers you, doesnt it?

Its okay, really.

Yes?

It was a perplexing feeling.

From a short distance away, Kang Ichae, who had been sprawled out, sat up and brushed back his tousled hair as he said,

Ah~ isnt it about time he comes back?

If he said he was going out for some fresh air, then its a hundred percent sure.

Other members of The Dawn added their comments, making her feel even more lost in a maze. Regardless, Kang Ichae dug into his pocket, pulled out a candy, and chomped down on it noisily.

I wonder who he is nagging this time?

Either the planning team or Composer Cheongbeom.

It must be the planning team. Didnt the composer go to the US recently?

Eh? Why?

However, his question was soon answered when Seo Hoyun returned alongside Lea Purples main dancer.

Seo Hoyun spoke in a nonchalant tone.

Lets have a quick meeting.

Yessir~.

When everyone gathered in the center of the practice room, Seo Hoyun started to speak,

I think we should start with a concept revamp.

Are you thinking of ditching the sexy concept?

No, not that I was thinking of adding another concept on top of it.

The more Seo Hoyun explained, the more the members were drawn into his logic, despite initially thinking, What kind of crazy talk is this?

Really?

What started as a doubtful response

Oh, that makes sense??

turned into agreement.

Based on Lee Jihyeons concept, the members of Lea Purple and some from The Dawn (namely Kim Seonghyeon and Jeong Dajun) looked at him as if they were enchanted.

Its such a good song and a valuable opportunity to perform on such a big stage; it would be too much to just let it pass.

Indeed, they could kill two birds with one stone: remain true to the songs concept while avoiding any scandals.

Seo Hoyun finished his explanation by declining the candy offered by Kang Ichae.

So, what do you think about doing it this way? The lyrics are perfect for it.

Yes!!

Lets do it!

Everyone nodded their heads excitedly. Kang Ichae, in particular, was thrilled, chewing on the candy Seo Hoyun had refused and scribbling down ideas for the arrangement.

Then, lets go with that. Lets meet again in two days.

Please take care of us!

Yes, please take care of us.

Seo Hoyun said his casual farewells and stood up with The Dawn. Kim Seonghyeon nudged Seo Hoyun teasingly.

Its Lee Jihyeon, right? What did you give her?

I dont know, something about card game illustrations. If she really wants it, why doesnt she just take a screenshot.

Well, she probably wants to collect it.

Kang Ichae chimed in from the side. As they bantered about how they could just print their photo cards, too, The Dawn left the practice room.

Left alone in the bustling practice room, Lea Purples youngest finally recalled the conversation The Dawn members were having and muttered in dismay,

Theres a reason why The Dawn is so popular

It was a curious thing.

There really was a breakthrough.

Unaware that this breakthrough had been won by offering mobile game gacha as a bonus to Lee Jihyeon, she sincerely admired Seo Hoyun.

.

.

.

And Seo Hoyun, who had suggested this breakthrough, was about to face an unexpected crisis.

It started the moment he got into the van. The manager excitedly shared the news.

Hoyun!! Ive got such great news! Yu Jia and Min Jiheon have each been nominated for the acting awards! To celebrate, theyve been asked to do a special performance, and youre included!!

What?

Thats right, Yu Jia, Min Jiheon, and youthe three of you are going to perform at the awards ceremony!

Seo Hoyun was flabbergasted.

With Min Jiheon and Yu Jia?
