167. The Prelude to the Foreign Relations War

Recently, a rumor began to circulate secretly in the broadcasting company.

‘UK&E&M is preparing a large-scale documentary variety show.’

‘And actor Song Kyu-ha’s appearance was confirmed.’

Gangnam Apgujeong Cafe Amor

Three men who looked to be in their early forties were talking on a spacious terrace seat where the warm sunlight was pouring down.

“no way. Nonsense. Is Song Gyu-ha crazy?”

A man with neat pomade hair and a white shirt said to the man in front of him as if scolding him.

“ah! That’s because it’s information coming from a certain pipe. This is information money can’t buy, son.”

Kim Ji-min, head of ‘MS Entertainment’, known as the top idol-oriented entertainment agency.

For ballad and R&B singers, Lim Gwan-hoon, head of ‘Remote Music’, has an unrivaled pool.

Chief Kim Soo-hwan of ‘SH E&M’, who seems to be doing well in entertainment such as rappers and comedians.

It was the identity of three men.

Three people with sufficient influence in their respective domains.

It was a concept like a motivation that had been working together since I was a road manager in my early 20s.

Of course, as nearly 15 years have passed, the company has changed and the field has changed, but as it is a lonely job, we have maintained a good relationship by relying on each other when necessary.

The other two snorted at the story that flowed out of SH E&M Kim Soo-hwan’s mouth.

“Dude, don’t you know better? What is Song Gyu-ha’s position now? Song Gyu-ha is not just an actor with 10 million. Awesome wall! It has become another level. If he goes to France now, will he even receive protocol?”

“I’m still an actor, but I know that better than you guys. But is it real? Just in case, our president contacted the upper line on the UK side through the hotline, but it is true. It’s you, let me know There is no way anywhere else.”

When Kim Soo-hwan said this confidently, the other two also made an expression of doubt.

“Why is such a great actor appearing in such a variety show? Common sense makes no sense. Not even a regular talk show, what? documentary variety? Even just hearing the word makes me feel like a high school student outdoors. Are you doing that?”

“Tsk tsk. you’re not going to be You know one, you don’t know the other.”

“I didn’t say anything, man!”

Jimin Kim, who had been quiet, was furious.

“Of course, if you look at the superficial information, that might be the case. But I mean make an inference. Why did such a thing come out?”

“Oh oh. You look a little better now. So what is it?”

“First of all, the rumors started flowing from the UK side. From long ago, only the UK side of Song Kyu-ha has appeared a lot. That’s only the work of Son Jun-Ik PD. You know that much.”

“Of course. But PD Son Jun-ik is currently working on a different project.”

“Ugh. simple babies. How did you get to the manager?”

“I didn’t say anything!”

“Anyway, did you guys know that it’s a positive day in the UK?”

“Positive day…? Who is it? Is the name familiar?”

“It’s an assistant production. Now in my 5th year as an assistant director. According to my sources, there is a story that Yang Seong-il will enlist this time.”

Kim Ji-min and Lim Kwan-hoon listened as if they noticed something, and their ears pricked up.

“ah! That documentary or that program, I guess. Doesn’t that make even more sense? A big star like Song Kyu-ha appears in a rookie PD debut?”

“Yang Seong-il is a big man under PD Son Jun-ik. In the past, we worked together in ‘No So Dongrak’ and also worked together in ‘Song Table Pocha’. More than anything!”

“More than anything···? Above all, what?”

The two stared anxiously at Kim Soo-hwan, who cut off at an important moment with a tantalizing speech.

“after···. I can’t. I’ll reveal it in 60 seconds.”

At the moment, the two people who had lost steam tried to hit Kim Soo-hwan with the cell phone they were holding.

“Yay! Ah-oh. Even when he was on the road, this bastard only knew about dating rumors and didn’t bother to tell me. It doesn’t change no matter how old you get.”

“Oh so what!!! I can’t stand being curious!!”

Kim Soo-hwan, who enjoyed the leisure of a rich man while watching the two people sitting and complaining, said with a smile.

“Keuk, cute children. This older brother scoops it all up and feeds it all. You know that Kyu-ha Song caught a French terrorist while filming ‘Song Table Pocha’, right?”

“Is there anyone in Korea who doesn’t know that? He is famous as the hero of the Bataclan.”

“At that time, the reason Song Kyu-ha entered Bataclan was to save Yang Sung-il. So, how close will the two of you be?”

Surprise came to Kim Ji-min and Lim Kwan-hun’s faces.

“Huh… was he benign? You didn’t know at all…?”

“I don’t know what was said between the two, but it was said that Yang Seong-il refused all interviews related to the incident. Whatever. Song Gyu-ha, who risked his life to join Bataclan, said that his younger brother is joining the ranks.

“Listen…could you listen? If you have a relationship like that…?”

Kim Soo-hwan smiled and lightly tapped the table with his hand.

“right! Now the stone head is turning a little. Then, the probability of the truth of this rumor is high or low?”

“Really…could it be? and! If it’s true, isn’t this great?”

“Awesome. If it’s a variety show starring Kyu-ha Song, will it only sell in Korea?”

“Absolutely not. Exporting copyrights to France will be very successful. It’s enough to say goodbye now…”

“But Song Gyu-ha is really loyal. It’s not easy to keep that level of loyalty on this floor.”

Loyalty in the entertainment industry was mostly driven by money.

In fact, when I was a rookie, I could easily see cases where I was transferred to a company with better conditions before the contract was over.

It was not uncommon for him to step on his colleagues to climb up.

“Song Gyu-ha’s loyalty is famous. From what I heard, all American Hollywood agencies from 1st to 5th place sent love calls to Song Kyu-ha, but they all got rejected. Same goes for the French side. I heard there are companies that threw blank checks. He doesn’t even take a single step in Stella.”

“her! The bowl is different. Well, does money seem like money to Song Gyu-ha? I would have earned money that I could not use all my life.”

“men and horses. Still, human greed is that if you have 100 won, you want to have 1,000 won, and if you have 10,000 won, you want to have 1 million won. I heard that you grew up in a temple, but you don’t seem to be greedy.”

Kim Soo-hwan took a sip of the half-melted iced Americano in front of his eyes and continued.

“Did you stop talking about something?”

“Song Gyu-ha appears in a new variety show.”

“Oh right! ruler. So let’s sort it out. First of all, let’s say that the possibility of Song Kyu-ha appearing in a UK producer Yang-il Yang’s debut work is quite high. And there are rumors that we will have quite a few guests this time around.”

“guest? If you are a guest on such a variety show…?”

“It is a huge opportunity to appear in any way. do you know After appearing as a guest, will it catch the eye of the US or France and advance overseas? Aren’t you all desperate to feel that no one knows how people’s affairs will work out?”

“Then who is the guest?”

“I don’t know!! But, I don’t know, but there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work on the UK side at the agency that’s flying to Korea soon.

I will.”

As soon as Kim Soo-hwan finished speaking, an awkward silence hung over the seat.

“A lot… Ah! hit. I forgot to watch it with director Yang Yong-tae for a while. I have to go first.”

After Kim Ji-min finished speaking, Lim Gwan-hun also cleaned up the surroundings.

“I also need to hurry into the office. I forgot to write the report.”

It must have been so funny that Kim Soo-hwan burst out laughing.

“Quack cucks. You look very shitty. Arthur. This is not something we can do at our level. Should the bosses step in? Anyway, I told you everything. Give it a big shot later.”

“Thank you, Soo-Hwan! I will definitely repay the favor.”

“If it goes well, I will shoot it with Yangju unconditionally!! I go first!!”

Watching the two friends leave in a hurry, Kim Soo-hwan smiled in repentance.

“Geukke, did I just tell you? How the early bird eats one more thing! On our side, we’re done! children.”

So, Kim Soo-hwan also stood up, patted his butt, and left.

“Chief, please!!”

Stellar entertainment breakout room.

“You have to stand. you are an actress you are an actress That’s the hottest beauty actress these days! Why are you going there?”

Early in the morning, the sound of two women arguing could be heard from the meeting room.

“I want to be called an acting actor rather than being called a beautiful actor. Please send me too. Yeah?”

Han Jeong-hee was in trouble because of Jeong Seol-ah, who had come to her since the morning.

“Because I’m having a hard time with just one Mr. Gyuha? let’s not do this to you yes?”

“The manager certainly did. The guests who appear together will also benefit greatly. Why can’t I go?”

“Yeah… that’s true, but.”

It was clearly what he said, so he couldn’t refute it.

But who knew.

Jeong Seol-ah asked to appear in Yang Seol-il’s ‘Survival Of The Fittest’.

“You’re saying that just because Kyu-ha is appearing?”

“manager! Could it be that you only saw me that way? I didn’t know the manager would look at me like that.”

Seeing Jeong Seol-ah, who was in tears, Han Seol-hee, who felt sorry for her, hurriedly waved her hand.

“Of course not! What a wild person our Seol-ah is. It’s just because I’m worried as the team leader and older sister. If I told you to go there with a woman’s body, who would be willing to go? is not it?”

Seeing Jeong Seol-ah grinning again as if he had never said that, Han Jeong-hee shook his head.

“A girl like a fox. tell me straight Why do you want to appear there?”

“Of course, it’s true that Kyuha oppa appeared and was more comfortable. But that’s never all. Team leader, you know how big my desire to act is, right?”

Han Jeong-hee nodded her head in agreement with Jeong Seol-ah’s words.

How sincere she is about acting,

Even Han Jeong-hee, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but stick out her tongue at how much effort she had put in.

“know. you know well You worked really hard, Seolya. Admit it.”

“I am not satisfied with this. I want to grow more and fly more. So please let me appear.”

Jeong Seol-ah’s words contained many meanings.

As such, this program will attract attention from many foreign media.

This meant that it could be another chance for Jeong Seol-ah.

“Haa… I wonder who is the older brother and not the younger brother. One shit stubbornness is just the same…”

“Chief… no sister…”

“okay. I’ll tell the UK side, so wait. Maybe I can do something about one digit.”

“Kyaaak! thanks sister. I love you!”

“You pretend to be arrogant outside the world, but do you think you become a nerd when you come in?”

“hehehe, it’s because it’s in front of unnie. I will work hard.”

and after a few days

[Song Kyu-ha appears in UK E&M’s ambitious new entertainment ‘Survival Of The Fittest’]

The beginning of the public relations war has opened.
