The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 71
71fury
The styling that Jin Se-jeong told me to try as if I was being fooled was hell..
All day long, I try on different things to see what suits me, find a tone that suits my face, and then paint it..
I wondered if it was a nameless assassin sent by the League, but Jin Se-jeong cheered and Lee Se-hee shouted “Excellent.” so I had no choice but to accept it in silence..
It was an event that took place like that..
It was an uneventful day for me, but the world was completely different..
Upon returning home, Yunhee's reaction was even more dramatic..
“What on earth have you done? Wow, really. That's right, my brother?”
“Then it must be someone else?.”
“No, that's not what I'm talking about? My real brother was a space star idol.?”
Yunhee, who was muttering about “Space Villain,” “Space Villain,” looks at my face and her smartphone alternately..
Was it that weird? To be honest, when I got my makeup done, it felt like I was wearing a thick mask..
Currently, I have neatly removed the makeup covering my face..
Removing this was not an ordinary task..
“Tell me quickly what happened.”
“This time I decided to hire an expert.······.”
Yoon-hee was shocked to hear that Jin Se-jeong would be in charge of managing my image from now on..
I thought you sympathized with my pain, but that wasn't the case..
“Jin Se-jeong? Wow, this is really a lot of cleaning! This guy is Jjin!”
“know?”
“of course! He is a top-notch director who has succeeded not only in Super One but also in Black Khan and Carpe Diem.!”
Looking at Yoonhee say this, she is a person with solid track records, but I don't know why she looked like a predator trying to eat me in my eyes..
However, it is hard to say anything because the effect is certain..
I built a worldview and worked like an idol..
I was so embarrassed that I couldn't bear to reveal this information to Yunhee..
Wait, but how does he know that??
“But are all those things you mentioned idols??”
“Yeah, the idol I admired.”
“How much of a virtue have you been??”
“Oh no, no?”
Yunhee stuttered as if she had hit the nail on the head..
Are you going to move on like this? There's no way.
“Black Khan’s worldview is?”
“On a field where nothing exists but darkness, boys with the characteristics of seven beasts...!”
“Super One’s worldview is?”
“Nine men who want to destroy the world gather their nine supernatural powers into one and suffer from the agony of destruction and creation... Oh, no.!”
I already told you it couldn't be done..
Lastly, there was something left by Carpe Diem, but if I asked him about it, he seemed like he was going to close his mouth, so I decided to end it here..
How much has this guy been doing?.
“···Don't tell your mom. These are the kids who made my school days beautiful..”
“okay.”
I'll have to let you know through a chat instead of telling you. Mrs. Younghee Lee deserves to know that your daughter is this kind of person..
Yunhee probably thought she was on the defensive and tried to change the mood..
“anyway! It's really awesome this time. The reaction has also changed drastically..”
Then, I showed the smartphone section, but why is the news tab like this? It was the entertainment section, not the current affairs section where my news appeared every time..
“Why is the news here??”
“I don't know either. But the reaction is no joke.”
Yoonhee said that it was Killpo who wiped out the flying monsters that appeared in the sky during the event..
Although it was only a Level 1 monster, it cried loudly and disrupted the event. The reaction was great when I swung Nuri and used force to get rid of them all..
I'm the same, but the reactions are so extreme that it's hard to get used to it..
“It will continue to be like that from now on.?”
“They said so.”
I felt bad thinking about what Jin Se-jeong said about having to change your style periodically..
Actually, Yunhee’s thoughts seem to be different..
“Now I'm going to dress up like a human..”
“what?”
“No, if you think about it, does it make sense to wear only a charcoal gray suit to an official event and only apply skin lotion? The appearance is also competitive.!”
“Looks don't save your life.”
“Instead, it gives you popularity.!”
“······.”
It's hard to say more since I'm slowly experiencing the power of popularity..
Is the absurd plan that Jin Se-jeong said really coming true?.
“The female fans were just cheering? It was nothing?”
“I was so surprised that I almost pulled out my knife..”
“···Never do that. okay?”
I had no choice but to nod my head in a cold mood..
“If you decorate yourself like this from now on, the number of fans will increase and you will be shielded, and public opinion will just turn over. What's next??”
“I'm opening a channel.”
Jin Se-jeong said she would film some of my daily life to increase intimacy and understanding of my worldview..
Does that really help??
Who is curious about what I eat and my normal daily life?.
However, after hearing the whole story, Yunhee nodded and repeatedly expressed her admiration..
“After all, it’s a lot of cleaning. I know how to aim properly.”
“Is this correct??”
“Oh, Jin Se-jeong is going to make you a space hunter, so follow along quietly..”
“······.”
It's dark..
* * *
There were three people sitting in Lee Se-hee's office who had no contact at all..
They were Lee Se-hee, head of Shinsung Guild's general operation team, Jin Se-jeong from Choi Jun-ho's team, and Media Force reporter Go Ye-jin..
Go Ye-jin, who did not know that she would be called to this event, watched her repeatedly and greeted her in a loud voice, perhaps trying to change the mood..
“hello! This is Go Ye-jin from Media Force! i look forward to!”
“This is Jin Se-jeong, who will lead Choi Jun-ho's team. Please understand that there are no team members yet..”
“no! Please understand! On the contrary, I was really surprised when I found out that this Choi Jun-ho Choin's work was directed by Jin Se-jeong.!”
“Oh, I saw it.?”
“yes! I was very impressed. As expected from Jjinsejeong!”
Jin Se-jeong burst out laughing at the fussy reaction. That cheerful smile made the atmosphere much softer..
“The reason I invited reporter Go Ye-jin today is because I asked Choin Choi Jun-ho for a favor. I think we can work together?”
“yes! I know. He said he had something to tell him to do..”
“To be exact, it's a collaboration, right? Choin Choi Jun-ho said that among reporters, there is no one who writes as provocatively as reporter Go Ye-jin. So, I looked it up... and the words 'false but empty' came out naturally. I felt it just by looking at the title. I need to get this person..”
“Go, thank you!”
Go Ye-jin's face was filled with emotion as her talent was recognized. On the Internet, he was always selected as 'No. 1 on the list of reporters to be filtered out the most', 'Reporter you want to punch when you see the title', and 'A reporter who was Kang Tae-gong in a past life', but I never thought he would be recognized like this in real life..
Meanwhile, Jin Se-jeong’s words continued..
“This time, I opened Choin Choi’s channel, and I need the reporter’s help..”
“what should i do?”
“It's a thumbnail that you can't help but click on. I need that.”
“Please, can I take care of that? I guess Choi Jun-ho has the status and respect of being a superman.······.”
“Well, first of all, I know what reporter Go Ye-jin is thinking..”
“Yes, I also want to help, but I think you may be looking at the wrong person..”
“That's not it.”
Jin Se-jeong flatly denied it..
“What Choi Jun-ho Choin needs right now is friendliness. Even though it has elements that can appeal to the youngest generation (those in their 20s), they are not utilizing them properly. So lowering the entry barrier is most important. The person who can play that role is reporter Go Ye-jin..”
“Who wouldn't be??”
“I will tell you for sure. Oh, and I'd like to tell you in advance that I can't give you a share of the channel, but it will be paid per request..”
“Please leave it to me! Let's try it!”
When Go Ye-jin was burning with motivation, there was a voice that intervened..
“Before that, I want to take a skills test..”
It was Lee Se-hee's participation in the war, who stayed still..
Go Ye-jin, who was burning with motivation, cringed like Zara the moment she heard Lee Se-hee's words..
“You don't have to be that surprised. I'm just going to do a simple test to see if Yejin can do well..”
“Yes, yes! what should i do?”
“How about creating a simple thumbnail using the Big Bang series? How much time do you have? 1 hours?”
“5It only takes a minute!”
Go Ye-jin, who had suddenly become serious, spoke with shining eyes..
* * *
‘Honestly, I'm not that good······.’
Lee Se-hee clicked her tongue inwardly as she looked at Go Ye-jin. She seems to have lived a fierce life since childhood, but if you think about it, she was the type of reporter who wrote provocative headlines..
When Choi Jun-ho was in the National Security Bureau, he produced a lot of articles criticizing him, and recently, he has been pouring out articles praising him to the point of cringing..
Lee Se-hee herself suffered damage from the media several times, so she had prejudices..
‘No matter how important the stimulus is, a reporter like that?’
Can’t we go a little more elegantly?.
However, Jin Se-jeong said that what is more important than dignity is an ‘aggro’ title that makes even just one person click on it..
So I was convinced, but some doubts remained..
Honestly, that was all he could do to stop himself..
Jin Se-jeong clearly proved her abilities. The unique combination of Choi Jun-ho and the idol worldview succeeded in creating a tremendous synergy effect..
The complete change in public opinion between yesterday and today was a miracle Lee Se-hee had never seen before. Just yesterday, there was no longer any need to worry that public opinion would worsen..
Will Jin Se-jeong's magic be effective in utilizing Go Ye-jin??
“Completed.”
Go Ye-jin spoke for 5 minutes, but completed the title in 1 minute..
“where······.”
Lee Se-hee's expression hardened as she took the tablet..
‘what? The shortage phenomenon can be overcome by producing products from licensed companies, right? But why is the US president here? Was there a conflict with the council? And the FDA? It has nothing to do with the approval of the Big Bang series.?’
It was a messy title full of holes..
···The problem is that the title makes you want to click. Why is the Big Bang series out of stock in the U.S.? Why is the U.S. president so angry with Congress? Why did the FDA suddenly appear?.
Go Ye-jin's title, despite its sloppiness, had the taste of stimulating primal curiosity..
I have no choice but to admit this. If it weren't for the title I came up with on the spot, I would have clicked on it even though I knew it was absurd..
“How are you??”
“···It's okay.”
And Lee Se-hee did not insist and just accepted..
“Instead, please refrain from using expressions that are too cheap. Because this is related to the dignity of a superhuman. Thumbnail text should contain only the truth. My request is this.”
“yes! We will try to attract attention by expressing only the truth in the most luxurious expression possible.!”
“There will be no problem securing views with this..”
Lee Se-hee was unable to nod as she watched Jin Se-jeong join in with a smile..
Is this really true?.
But I'm sure it will induce clicks..
It'll be fine.
In the end, Lee Se-hee gave up thinking..
* * *
Because the change in such a short period of time is so dramatic, I've been thinking a lot lately..
I haven't changed anything, so why are people crazy about me?.
Today was the day I felt that the world changed overnight..
Until recently, public opinion surrounding me was half and half..
People who support my actions because they serve justice.
People who criticized me for being no different from a villain.
I didn't pay much attention to those two. Because I believed that if I quietly followed the standards I had set, results would come..
However, there was also a small feeling of anxiety in a corner of my heart. The thought that the moment my actions are ultimately not recognized, I may be dismissed as a villain..
When people point guns and knives at me, how can I not be swallowed up by madness? Can we respond rationally without using our hands?.
But after meeting Jin Se-jeong, many things changed in my life..
My image changed in an instant through an interview where I embellished some parts and highlighted the key points..
“I still don't understand.”
Why is this upside down??
In particular, the response to the video posted on the channel was enthusiastic, more than enthusiastic..
Why on earth is it so popular that I introduce myself, where I work, and what I eat??
Among them, the number of views on my training video set a new Korean record for views in 24 hours..
At Jin Se-jeong's recommendation, I took off my top and sweated, and it was said that just that alone had such an effect.?
“Only Superhuman Choi Jun-ho can do it. I only applied recipes that matched the best ingredients..”
Jin Se-jeong said this and showed humility..
One thing was clear.
Lee Se-hee's advice to form Choi Jun-ho's team was the advice I needed, and Jin Se-jeong is a talented person who overturned my public opinion that was on the defensive..
Today, after returning from the initial call, I was planning on having an interview about paying taxes..
A few days ago, the first settlement money from the Big Bang series came in..
The tax I had to pay from the settlement was a little over 1 trillion won..
Paying taxes that everyone else does.
I tried to just pay, but Jin Se-jeong said I shouldn't pass up this good thing. So she decided to bring in Go Ye-jin and feature her interview..
I didn't understand why it was a good thing to just put out something..
No, maybe I didn't like having to pretend like this, rather than an interview..
The interview was conducted through Go Ye-jin..
“hello! This is Go Ye-jin from Media Force! It is an honor to interview Choin Choi Jun-ho..”
“This is Junho Choi.”
“I have some really great news today! Oh my goodness, superhuman Choi Jun-ho declared that he would pay over 1 trillion won in taxes without any savings! Is it true??”
“yes it's true.”
“Is there a reason??”
I don't think tax saving is bad. However, the line between legal and illegal was unclear and I felt there was no need to think complicatedly to save more money..
If you value money more, consider carefully and respect paying as little as possible..
“I just paid it because it was tax I had to pay..”
“As expected, distribute it like a superman.!”
“I just did what I had to do. Paying taxes is a civic duty..”
“ha ha ha! Yes.”
Why are you smiling awkwardly??
“Still, don’t you think it’s a waste??”
“It's not a waste. I hope this tax money is put to good use. however.”
If you look at people praising people for what they should pay, it seems like there are many people who don't pay properly..
“If you listen to the stories around you, there is a lot of resistance to taxes. I hope we can become a society where people willingly pay what they have to pay..”
But what should I do if I don't pay my taxes properly?.
Isn't this an act that is corrosive to the country because not paying the bills reduces the amount of money the country needs to collect and wastes administrative power unnecessarily? Then wouldn’t it be okay to treat them as villains too??
As I was thinking that, I suddenly realized that there was a thick silence around me..
“Did it come out of your mouth??”
“···yes.”
People watching the interview froze..
