Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols - Chapter 123
Only Krnovel
| Episode 123. Rumors (2)
I took a deep breath and read the post in front of me again.
Nothing had changed. It was exactly as I had read it the first time.
Exemption from group living, special treatment received despite not meeting the requirements, and a bursting personality…
I can guess why the controversy over the study room arose. It’s because my grades weren’t all that great.
But in our school’s study room, we looked at internal and mock exam scores together.
So, the writer of this article either didn’t know my school ranking on the mock exam, or even if he did, he only wrote the information that was favorable to him.
The reason I didn’t go on a school trip or retreat was because I didn’t have the participation fee.
Instead, I went to school and studied by myself as instructed by the school. I never stayed home alone while others were doing extracurricular activities.
The family wasn’t all that well off.
Besides, what good is it if the house is so-so? I don’t have any money to give to me. Look at the fact that I couldn’t go on a school trip because I didn’t have money right away.
The part about not greeting the kids in the class… is somewhat true, but when there wasn’t enough people to play soccer or when they were hiring people in charge of cleaning, I participated without fail.
The post had great credibility in that it authenticated the graduation album. Thanks to this, many people copied and pasted the post here and there.
The story, which was half true and half false, was distorted or exaggerated through comments and sharing of posts.
≫ Summary of the controversy surrounding the cast of A Royal Family
1. No proper greetings to senior groups, no respect for other groups’ stages
2. Among the members, only one appears on a solo variety show, there is a leader who leads the planning meetings, sets the schedule, and bullies internal employees.
3. Exemption from all group activities and special benefits for study rooms during high school thanks to parental support
4. He is particularly talkative by nature, and since he was a student, he doesn’t talk to anyone unless they are helpful to him. Now, it seems like he has changed to creating an atmosphere among the members where they do politics and do as they say.
5. Leaving the members alone on vacation and deliberately loitering around in places where there are only women.
And in the end it came to this.
The comments and related articles were also considerable.
≫ Did you see the summary of the Kim I-wol controversy?
There is no logic like this.
If appearing on a solo variety show is a push, how can you explain the fact that Choi Je-ho filmed a music video before his debut?
≫ He couldn’t change the habit of getting special treatment during his school days, so he crawled into UA and got caught doing the same thing.
└ When I see things like this, it seems like the saying that people’s habits never change is true.
≫ The level of ‘that’ fan who is shielding in the meantime
You know what I mean? LOL
≫ The Parte fandom has been very patient so far
Honestly, I don’t think it would have been strange if it had blown up at any time.
└ That’s right… … They were blatantly ignoring me, but I just kept quiet because I didn’t want to hear useless talk on programs where our kids were.
≫ Didn’t this guy have the image of being very sociable and honest?
It’s a bit shocking
└ There is no idol who shows their honest side. They are all just selling their image.
└ Up until now, I’ve ignored all the praise the PDs or members have given her and only believed the testimony of people who claim to be her classmatesㅋㅋㅋ
≫ If this isn’t a case of a rolling stone dislodging a mossy stone, then what is it?
If I were Jeong Seong-bin, I would have been really hurt
What do you do as a leader? The company and its members make people into pants leaders.
≫ But isn’t it a big problem that I received special treatment while attending school???
Who knows, maybe something like a biographical statement was written to their advantage?
└ It is a reasonable doubt
└ That’s why… … I’m a current high school senior and I get mad just hearing the story
≫ The fact that Yeomisae is a real idiot
└ This is too much… …
└ What is the story about Yeomisae? It’s my first time hearing about it.
└ Deliberately hanging around a place where there are only women to attract attention
└ I wrote in the text from the beginning that the parties involved knew that Lee Wol went to pick up trash. I will download the PDF.
I don’t know about anything else, but I can’t stand hearing about employees being bullied. Just hearing the words “XX bullying” makes me vomit, that’s what I’m saying.
“after…….”
I had to be calm, even though I was hot. Now was not the time to think about Manager Nam’s bullying.
“How do I solve this?”
I had a headache because I had never done an explanatory broadcast before, although I had tried to force myself to write a statement. The sun was rising in the distance, annoyingly.
* * *
The first thing I did as soon as the morning alarm went off was to wake up the members.
I sat them down at the living room table, handed them each a piece of bread, and asked them:
“You know, do you think I’m treating Seongbin like a pants leader and playing politics in this group, and monopolizing the right to speak by cleverly silencing him?”
“……yes?”
Kang Ki-yeon asked back with an expression that said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Please speak freely. It’s an important matter.”
“Brother, what’s wrong?”
Jeong Seong-bin asked worriedly. Anyway, I have never seen these guys answer properly once you ask them a question.
I sighed softly and answered.
“Yeah. My personality has been the subject of controversy.”
“what?!”
Lee Cheong-hyeon got up from his seat.
“Why? Because PD Yoo was nagging me?”
“That and other things.”
“Did you find out that your brother told us to smile even though our limbs were shaking…?”
“Our Joo-woo, I guess what I said was quite hurtful?”
“You mobilized all of us to buy a steaming bag from a home shopping channel, and there’s a controversy about forcing people to buy it?”
“You used the company card to pay for it. There was also a quantity limit. In the first place, I bought it for you, Choi Je-ho, and Ki-yeon to use… … Wait a minute. Do I really have a personality problem?”
“What are you talking about? Come on, bro!”
Lee Cheong-hyeon grabbed my shoulders and shook me.
Sorry, I’m a bit of a noob.
“… …Is it a big problem?”
Kang Ki-yeon, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, intervened.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. But if there really is a problem with me, it’s not something you should explain, it’s something I should fix. That’s why I asked.”
“… … .”
“Then I assume no one has any complaints, so I’ll go to work first. Come slowly.”
“Yes? Let’s go together!”
Jeong Seong-bin suddenly stood up.
Sorry, but we don’t have time to wait for you. I can imagine how frustrated the UA staff must be.
I told them to finish eating and came back, and left the room first, leaving them behind.
* * *
The atmosphere at UA was serious, as expected.
But no one grabbed me by the collar or reprimanded me.
Because I was struggling to get through the students who were camped out in front of the dorm, I looked like the worst person in the world.
To be honest, it was really hard. Going to work and hearing things like, “Hey, Lee Wol-ah, do you like girls that much?” or “Hey, XX, don’t bother me and get out!” wasn’t easy.
The manager got mad at me for not picking up the child and asking what I was doing. After I explained that I left early on my own, the manager’s questioning ended.
I explained in detail to Minju Kyung and the CEO that the series of contents were not all true. The personal history book I got from the local PC room was a great help.
It was also a big help that the company already knew that my parents were not close enough to me to have any influence on the school.
If you all didn’t believe me, I was going to criticize you, but I’m glad you believed me so easily.
“Still, I am truly sorry for making such remarks. I will take responsibility and resolve the situation.”
“No, Yiwol. It’s better to deal with this through the company.”
Of course, that’s true. The company’s statement will be released after it has been thoroughly refined.
but…….
“I think the fans’ emotions will be too draining. I think it would be polite for me to explain it to them myself.”
I promised myself that I would never make rash remarks and that I would get the company to review them in advance if necessary, before leaving the conference room.
And after confirming that there was no one there, I thought of the system.
‘Just pack one more piece of office supplies.’
+
[SYSTEM] Work instructions from ‘Manager’ have arrived.
No, didn’t you ask for supplies last time? Do you need something else in the meantime?
+
It’s because you’re the one who’s causing the craze. If you want to see me become an idol, then cooperate a little.
I asked the system for my CSAT score report and my mock exam score report.
And after diligently printing out the messages he had exchanged with his coworkers on the company’s multifunction printer, he quietly returned to the practice room.
* * *
“What did the representative say?”
“The royal family is said to have been contacted by the company.”
“No, explain.”
“I decided to do that.”
Choi Je-ho shrugged his shoulders after hearing my answer. He seemed to have something he wanted to say, but he didn’t think it was necessary to say it.
After that, we just practiced. Luckily, they all focused well.
Until the cell phone vibrated.
“… … Isn’t that the sound of a cell phone?”
“Sorry, it’s mine. He gave me this to keep until this matter was resolved, saying I might need to contact him urgently.”
I apologized and checked my phone.
It was a finite number.
Somehow, I thought you were quiet these days.
“Guys, I need to talk to you for a minute.”
From behind, Kang Ki-yeon asked who was calling.
I didn’t answer and just left the practice room.
“hello.”
─ Oh, Yiwol.
The voice that came back was worldly and friendly.
I could feel it even without looking. A smile bloomed on Yoo Han-soo’s face.
─ Are you in big trouble?
It wasn’t even like, ‘X happened’, it was such a gentle expression. It seemed like the blood was flowing to his head enough to assume that I could record it.
To live up to expectations, I pressed the record button and silently listened to what Yoo Han-soo had to say.
─ I told you to be careful with people. This world is small. You haven’t even debuted for a year, and you’re already out of favor. What are you going to do?
People say they’re careful, but what can we do when the system has an accident? Do you think he understands what people say?
I immediately felt like requesting IP tracking for some of the posts.
But it would be useless. Even if you report it, everything takes time. It would take several weeks from the time the complaint is filed to the time the investigation begins.
On the other hand, the public does not wait. Even at this moment, there are posts on the Awangsil bulletin board demanding that I step down.
Yoo Han-soo must have known this kind of environment very well. That’s why he must have taken advantage of this opportunity to sneak in a little bit of input.
In other words, that person is now in a completely powerful position.
Even if I reveal here that I was bullied by Yoo Han-soo, wouldn’t I be anything more than an idol responding to the controversy over bullying with an appeal for victims of bullying?
─ Don’t be too heartbroken, Yiwol.
Yoo Han-soo said affectionately.
─ This is how you learn.
under.
I guess I’ll just have a huge fight with this guy and then plaster my picture on the front page of the entertainment news…
