Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols - Chapter 84
Only Krnovel
| Episode 84. Our Company’s All-Round Entertainer (3)
『Hello, listeners of Moonlight Conversation. This is Lee Wol from the group Spark, the last replacement to fill DJ Polo’s empty spot.』
Kim Yi-wol’s voice was plain yet firm.
Clear pronunciation at an appropriate pace, with a neat tone.
You’d think he was a very organized DJ, if only you listened to his voice.
But Kim Yi-wol’s voice was the complete opposite of his appearance. Polo was very curious about where he got such a strange bracelet.
‘Didn’t you say your agency is UA? It wouldn’t be to the extent of not being able to hire a stylist, right?’
Polo listened to the self-introduction of the junior group Parte without even being able to assume that they had come like that voluntarily.
Fortunately, Kim Il-wol’s hosting skills were outstanding, despite his confusing style.
Of course, Polo also expected Kim I-wol to do well to some extent. That’s why he recommended Kim I-wol, whom he had only met once, as a substitute.
But Kim Il-wol easily exceeded Polo’s expectations.
Beyond not relying on scripts, Kim Il-wol rarely even looked at a script.
‘Did you memorize it?’
Polo also knew in his head that it was impossible.
Not only is it not a system where the script comes out 1-2 weeks in advance, but because of the nature of the program where one has to speak for an entire hour, the DJ’s speaking volume was considerable.
However, Kim Yi-wol’s gaze on the screen was always directed to one of three places: the speaking guest, the prompt showing the comments, and the staff.
It didn’t end there.
Kim Il-wol’s strengths shone through as the radio program progressed.
High level of understanding of guests. Comfortable progress.
Even though he is a first-time DJ, he has the ability to host without leaving anyone out and ensure that everyone has a chance to speak.
and…….
『Thanks to the opportunity given to me by Senior Polo, I was able to gain good experience despite my lack of skills.
It was a time when I thought it was fortunate that our group Spark’s first radio show was Moonlight Conversation. Starting next week, I will also return to being a regular listener of Moonlight Conversation.
Thank you to all the listeners who have been with me despite my shortcomings.
Even Polo fans and listeners alike will praise the clean finish, which is beyond reproach.
Polo finished the replay with a satisfied smile, his mind filled with thoughts of bragging to his leader that his eyes were not wrong.

“Hey, did you get a call from Mr. Polo?”
The manager who came to check my break time came up to me and said.
“From your senior?”
“Thank you so much for being a substitute for Dalbamdae. I heard you worked hard.”
I’m surprised that he even went out of his way to say hello.
As expected, skilled idols are different. They say that highly specialized idols are no different from members of society.
“I didn’t do anything particularly well, so thank you for telling me.”
As I was bowing my head to express my gratitude to the manager, Lee Cheong-hyeon interrupted.
“You did well, hyung! You didn’t make a single mistake!”
“How do you know I’ve never done it?”
“I know because we all turned on our laptops and listened!”
“You did something cute like that without me knowing?”
I felt a little uneasy thinking that the five of them would be gathered together and listening to the radio show I was hosting.
It’s a good thing I didn’t have a personal cell phone to send these guys a text message. If I had, I would have sent them something.
‘Rather than that… …all together?’
I looked at Choi Je-ho, who was stretching from a distance.
And I asked Lee Cheong-hyeon.
“Does that ‘all together’ include Choi Je-ho?”
“Yes. It’s awesome, right?”
Yeah, that’s awesome, man.
It’s meaningful that five people got together and did something. It means that we have the intention to do things together outside of work.
No matter how much the sparks of the past were blustery and troublesome, it was true that they had worked together for seven years. And that would have been impossible without even a little bit of a bond.
‘It seems like they’re slowly becoming closer to each other.’
These guys will go through these kinds of situations over and over again and end up working together for 7 years.
It really annoys me that it had to be my radio show this time, but I decided to pay back the guys who gave me a ride on the bus.
Besides, these guys listen to what I say these days.
After much teasing with the guys, six individual contents were selected with great results.
≫ F**k f**k Choi Je-ho is a crazy bastard
It’s my calling to be a woman in her 20s
└ I need someone to tell me how to exit this video… … I’m so desperate I’ve been watching this for 40 minutes
≫ Kang Ki-yeon, why is life and comics exactly the same as mine?
I feel like I’ve found a comrade in my life’s journey of pure romance comics
└ In the meantime, I stubbornly only take the side of Seopnamㅋㅋㅋ Kiyeon-ah, I can smell pine resin on the screen
≫ Joo-woo, please give me just one channel on YouTube
Put the f*ck up… … I’m serious
└ I’m hearing all these songs for the first time, but I like them all… … You are a veteran of the pop music world
└ I’m a man in my 30s who is proud of listening to a lot of pop songs, but I don’t even know half of them. Haha. Thanks to you, I’m going to learn about some good songs.
└ It’s amazing that you’re halfway there…
≫ I knew he composed his own music, but he also plays the piano wellㅠㅠ Cheonghyun is truly a jewel in the idol world
└ Cheong-Hyeon originally wanted to major in classical music!
└ I wish you would cover the other songs on the album with piano, not just the title trackㅠ
≫ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is the first time I’ve seen an idol leader introduce a leadership book so seriously
└ I thought it was a paid advertisement and was ready to skip it, but the skip ad didn’t appear even onceㅋㅋㅋ
The response was so good that I almost smiled while monitoring it. I know I’m not very professional.
By the way, I also saw the comments on my content.
Originally, I wasn’t going to look at it, but now that I’ve started doing more idol activities, I can’t not look at the feedback.
≫ I came in because the ‘members’ pore care method’ in the thumbnail was so intense
≫ 3:19 I was shocked when I saw the web cell. It seems like he uses the web cell better than me.
└ “When you work, you often have to use webcell.”
Why do idols use webcells so much? LOL
≫ You are the first idol to be this honest
└ Seriouslyㅋㅋㅋ I thought there would be an episode or something like that since they said it was a big TMI dump, but they actually told me about the dorm management fee
└ This idol even tells you the model number of a public laptop
The comments section was largely favorable, with many saying they had come over from the radio.
But, as is the case with all things in life, there were not only good reactions.
≫ Kim Pep, honestly, doesn’t he smell like a concept fan?
Pretending to be an intelligent member
I think he just has a weak personality
└ Yeah lol You can tell just by looking at them that they’re trying to capture the character, but it’s funny how people know that it’s their real personality
└ Even if you pass by Ketex and look at it, it’s a concept, but they don’t know it haha
└ Kim Pep, okay?
└ ㅅㅍㅋ ㄱㅇㅇ
└ Why is he Kim Pep?
└ Don’t you know Daknunsam???? ^^^^^^
└ Try saying your name in English
└ Letters before Kim+February
≫ Honestly, the kids are kind so they listen to Kim Pep^^
The lifespan is the shortest and the skills are also X bad
Pepi is good^^ Thanks to the members, I can suck the honey^^
This kind of reaction was also seen frequently.
It seems like I’m doing some kind of concept work. Is it because my office worker’s social mask has been exposed?
I also somewhat agree with the statement that the kids are good. They do cause trouble sometimes, but that doesn’t mean I can’t tolerate them.
So I decided to accept comments of this level as legitimate opinions.
I organized the keywords from the malicious comments into a web cell and then closed my laptop.
Then he spoke to Lee Cheong-hyeon, who was rolling on the floor and wrestling with his composition notebook.
“Is there any progress?”
“Not at all!”
“Yeah, one confident posture is cool.”
Lee Cheong-hyeon was working on improving one of the songs he had written before his debut.
As Lee Cheong-hyeon has been making music for a long time, he has accumulated quite a lot of melodies.
However, making it into a complete song is another matter, so I discussed it with my agency and nagged Lee Chung-hyun whenever there was an empty practice or broadcast schedule. Of course, I reached an agreement with him as well.
In order for Lee Chung-hyun’s musical sense to transition more easily from classical to idol music, we deliberately planned to arrange it into a ‘K-Pop piano version.’
It may not be because of that, but in any case, Lee Cheong-hyeon showed remarkable growth.
Even I, who is completely ignorant of composition, found Lee Cheong-hyeon’s ability to learn amazing.
“Where did it get blocked?”
When I asked a question, Lee Cheong-hyeon approached my bedside holding a notebook as if he had been waiting.
“First of all, the baseline has been organized, right?”
“Didn’t you start from the top last time?”
“Because the god of bass gave me a revelation… … No, that’s not it.”
Lee Cheong-hyeon ruffled his hair.
“So, we’re going to do a really exciting concept.”
That’s right.
Our second comeback, which I had planned, was in May, about two months later.
And the title concept was ‘The mischievous youths who love playing the most in the world!’
I suddenly remembered when I first shared this opinion with the guys.
‘Brother… … Do you need a vacation?’
I will never forget the way Jeong Seong-bin looked at me with compassion back then.
But unfortunately, that wasn’t an idea I came up with because I wanted to take a break. It probably took an hour to explain to them the background of that concept.
So, I was monitoring and planning + final organizing, and Lee Cheong-hyun was composing candidates for the title song.
I saw Lee Cheong-hyeon struggling more than expected and wondered if I should change my plan.
Since the goal given by the system required a considerable amount of time, I did not want to create a situation where I pushed Lee Cheong-hyeon from the beginning and then he was eliminated.
“Right. Is it really that difficult to express?”
“Rather than that, I don’t really get the keywords you mentioned.”
“What part?”
When I asked, Lee Cheong-hyeon answered.
“At that time, my brother told me that if I needed an image, I should refer to the children running around excitedly during Family Month.”
“That’s right.”
“But you’re saying that in my house, we only gave out workbooks every Children’s Day? Children’s Day wasn’t that fun! I don’t remember being super excited, but I feel left out because they say songs have to be exciting!”
“……what?”
“It felt like I was the only one getting a writing utensil while all my friends were getting toys! I found out about Kidznia, but then I found out that there was an age restriction for Kidznia that year! It felt like I went to the amusement park and was told that there was an additional fee for high school students!”
Oh, is that the problem?
