Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols - Chapter 74
Only Krnovel
| Episode 74. Expected Resignation Date
“Thank you for your hard work!”
“thank you!”
As soon as the cut sound was heard, I bowed and greeted loudly. It was the moment when another music show recording ended.
This is already the third time on a music show.
I thought about this while collecting the so-called ‘Lee Cheong-hyeon’s It Item’, a ballpoint pen with a doll attached, which was a prop for today.
‘How many times do I have to go to the music show again…?’
The moment the first music show ended, the system clearly appeared before my eyes.
+
[SYSTEM] Work instructions from ‘Manager’ have arrived.
Mr. Kim, I saw the draft you submitted! But I have too much work to do today. Mr. Kim, it’s not urgent, is it? I’ll definitely see to it within this week. Mr. Kim, please understand. Okay?
+
X I’m in a hurry.
I’m an office worker who ran to the bank during lunch hour with my legs about to burst and was told that the expected wait time was 50 minutes, and my heart was about to burst.
Given the circumstances, I was staying up all night, worried that I might miss the system’s mission completion alarm while sleeping.
It was just last week that Spark made its hot debut.
So even if the verification period was supposed to be a week, it would have ended a long time ago.
‘Shit, you were joking when you said you saw it!’
I was complacent. There’s no way a guy who speaks like Manager Nam would see the draft on time.
Even though I am a person of the lowest rank, this is too much. Doesn’t a country with a system like this even have a Ministry of Employment and Labor?
‘… … I was really planning to use it in the handover report from today.’
Spark’s initial period of activity was six weeks.
These six weeks were the best time for me to raise some awareness of Spark, which I had gained by fighting UA.
From the beginning, I had planned to finish one activity and leave the team, but I felt like I would feel relieved once my resignation letter was accepted by the system side.
I shook the pen nervously. The carrot doll dangled violently from the tip of the pen.
Manager Nam… … No, the system has completely blocked any element that could suddenly say, “Manager Kim, your performance is really bad. You need to work a little harder.”
This is because the number of views for Spark’s music video alone has more than doubled compared to when they first debuted.
It may be because Spark’s past performance was poor, but through daily community monitoring, Spark’s name was definitely being known step by step in a positive way.
≫ The assignment distribution is perfect.
A punk who falls asleep as soon as he gets to school → A model student who does his homework all night
A punk who brings an extension cord to school → A model student who brought his supplies
A gangster who is like a blackmailer → leader
Mysterious Outsider → Safety Manager
A guy who does nothing but do other things during class → A model student who is diligent in doing homework
A punk with a messy school uniform → A model student who takes on all the difficult tasks
└ It was a dream team
≫ Where did you sell your doll’s balls?
Everyone is pretending to write with a ballpoint pen at the end of a music show, but this male idol is the only one who hurriedly hides the pen.gif
└ What is the name of the kid who hides the pen??
└ It’s called Spark Title~
≫ Was it this addictive for six high school boys to do homework at school?
I can’t stop playing
└ This assignment looks really fun, especially the students’ faces.
≫ Stage Ending Item Evolution.zip
Group assignment lottery > self > ballpoint pen lol I’m looking forward to what they’ll bring next
└ I’m really worried that he’ll come to the last room with a stick and break my head…
└ Haha …
Of course, Park won’t break it. Any action that could harm their faces is strictly forbidden.
This is my favorite post I’ve ever read.
≫ I thought there would be another victim of the dogXso
The stage is X good… … It seems like the genes from the original family never go away
Of course, there weren’t only favorable reviews.
There were all sorts of comments, from accusations disguised as criticism to crude disparagements.
But I didn’t read it carefully.
About half of them were about my fancams where my skills were noticeably inferior to those of the other members, and the other half were aggro-like comments that would be posted to any celebrity.
Please bear with me for a moment, my fellow citizens. Mr. Kim Il-wol, a thorn in my side, will soon be gone… … .
My grades will be better than before, and I’ve already decided what I’m going to do for the next year or so.
I decided that I had to start writing the handover document as soon as possible, so that the system would not secretly change its words.
“Brother, we’ll post a live announcement!”
okay.
I just need to finish tomorrow’s live safely.
* * *
Baek Hae-won has been immersed in MeTube for the past few days.
It was all the fault of the idol group that debuted the day before yesterday.
Why are you so good on stage after debuting this time, and why are there so many teasers?
Baek Hae-won, who had been swimming nonstop for four hours in the sea of contents, had to admit with a dampened heart that he had fallen into the spark.
‘I should’ve waited a little longer before I caught it… … Then I would’ve at least had some fan friends… … No, they say the faster you get into fandom, the better… … .’
Baek Hae-won’s mind was filled with anguish itself.
The reason why Baek Hae-won, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was holding onto his cell phone was also because of that idol.
After the music show ended yesterday, a live broadcast notice was posted on the official SNS of the newly formed group ‘Spark’.
≫ ★ Notice ★
Hey guys, we have an announcement coming up soon… …
Is everyone free tomorrow evening?
Let’s prepare together at home!
Don’t forget to bring your cell phone!
It was such a simple, yet extremely conceptual notice. Could there be another notice that was so ordinary and unique?
And the long-awaited live performance quickly approached Baek Hae-won, who had been chatting with his acquaintances on SNS.
[Spark] (2X0227) Group assignment presentations begin!
‘Adding the date to the broadcast title… … It’ll be easy to get fans to back up… … .’
Baek Hae-won pressed the broadcast button without thinking that he would become that fan.
Then a screen appeared showing six people sitting together wearing identical black training suits.
“Manager, is it true that our broadcast is on?”
Member Kim Yi-wol, who was looking at the pad, asked the person on the other side of the screen in a small voice. Of course, Baek Hae-won heard everything because he was Sommers.
‘First of all, courtesy passes.’
Personality is very important in determining whether or not one becomes a fan.
Once you start liking something, you may find yourself dealing with it with a clouded eye, so Baek Hae-won’s belief, which he has grown up with over many years of experience, is to start off well.
Where are the idols who lose their temper in front of the camera?
There are many. It is absolutely not true that Baek Hae-won’s former headquarters did that…
That’s true, XX.
‘Oh, no. Focus, focus!’
It would be a hundred times better to focus on the spark right in front of you rather than thinking about those new Xs who are buried in the industry.
The members felt like the connection was smooth and began the broadcast with a group greeting.
『We’ve finally done our first live broadcast since our debut. Applause!』
When the leader, Jeong Seong-bin, spoke, everyone clapped along with him.
There was only one thought in Baek Hae-won’s head when he saw that sight.
‘Our Seongbin… … How can he survive in this cold-hearted group when he’s so gentle… … .’
On either side of Jeong Seong-bin, who was sitting in the middle, were Woo Cheong-hyeon, who looked extremely fierce, and in the back row were older brothers who looked like they had just come from collecting money.
But the good thing was that my brothers spoke to me very kindly.
『Choi Je-ho, do you want to see the comments?』
“Okay, I’ll read it.”
One of them looked a bit like a cyborg, but you might be nervous about your first broadcast.
『Since it’s our first broadcast, we really had a lot to talk about… … Brother Lee Wol, could you bring that up?』
“huh.”
At Jeong Seong-bin’s request, Kim I-wol took out a large foam board from behind the sofa.
1. Thoughts on debut
2. Behind the scenes of the music video
3. Today’s TMI
4. Future plans
That too, today’s conversation topics are written in order.
‘Isn’t that the board they used to introduce the members in Jakon?’
At first glance, Baek Hae-won couldn’t help but have rational doubts about the familiar colors and sizes. Recycling props? You guys are quite eco-friendly guys…
What’s TMI? Is that something worth talking about in such detail?
Baek Hae-won was a little confused.
However, Spark, who could not have known this fact, attached a red star shape that seemed to be made of non-woven fabric to ‘1. Thoughts on debut’ and talked about the joy and gratitude of debuting.
Lee Cheong-hyeon’s accusation that Kim I-wol couldn’t sleep for several days after his debut was quite interesting.
In Jakon, it was like an FM with one screw wrong.
The debut impressions ended with a short comment. Next was the behind-the-scenes look at the music video.
『You can’t leave this out in this music video. Goldberg!』
Lee Cheong-hyeon pulled out a piece of paper printed with a scene from the music video from under the table. It was impossible to know how many visual materials were hidden under the camera.
At that time, Jeong Seong-bin said something surprising.
“This Goldberg device was all made by Cheong-Hyeon.”
『Ah, Lee Wol-hyung planned it and I did the design! All the members helped me build it!』
So, in the end, the story was that Lee Cheong-hyeon himself built that huge device.
『Cheong-Hyeon, you’ve had a hard time… … .』
Park Joo-woo said with a smile. It seemed that only Baek Hae-won was surprised by this situation.
Is it easy to make all the movements fit together like stop motion? I’m not sure, but I think the calculations have to be right?
At that moment, Kang Ki-yeon pointed out this part.
“I failed a lot in the middle. I went through a lot of trial and error.”
『Really. I suggested we split the film into separate cuts, but Cheong-Hyeon said she wanted to do it in one take.』
『So it turned out great! I love our members who helped us!』
As soon as the give-and-take between Kang Ki-yeon and Jeong Seong-bin ended, Lee Cheong-hyeon winked and threw hearts in all directions.
Then Kim Yi-wol kindly turned Lee Cheong-hyeon’s body towards the camera. Thank you, Speed Yi-wol!
『It was hard but fun to use my brain after a long time! I don’t think I’ll have to study math for a while!』
“Even so, Lee Cheong-hyeon, in about two months, won’t you have exams again?”
『Ah, Brother Jeho… … !』
The content of the grumbling was also quite simple. I guess this is what it would be like if you went to the boys’ class at Baek Hae-won’s school.
‘This is a high teen that is closely related to daily life… ‘
A similar story was being told on the SNS timeline that I glanced at during the live broadcast.
Baek Hae-won was thinking of having a talk show after the broadcast, but the conversation moved on to the third topic.
If you look at it as TMI, it would probably be about what I ate today or what snack I saw at the convenience store.
Baek Hae-won put his phone down for a moment, thinking he would take advantage of this opportunity to get some snacks.
However, Baek Hae-won couldn’t go out to get the snack. Instead, he was busy doubting his own ears.
Clearly, Kim Yi-wol on the screen is talking about something very ordinary, like what he ate today.
『Choi Je-ho ate steak egg salad. The sauce was mustard, but he said he didn’t like it that much today, so he sprinkled some oriental sauce on it instead of eating it. Did he leave the yolk? Seong-bin… . . 』
The details were almost identical to mine, even writing down the way my favorite person mixes rice to eat it.
