Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols - Chapter 96
Only Krnovel
| Episode 96. Event Promotion (1)
The next day, Spark finished filming in a warm atmosphere, looking a little more solid.
Except that I was a little more taken aback.
I wrote a long message in the employee suggestion box, and I feel like it was hung up with the writer’s name printed on it.
Since Lee Cheong-hyeon, who was already being carried around tightly, didn’t seem to want to get off my back, I barely held back the urge to take off my t-shirt and say, “No need to keep it a secret, I’m going to show my upper body today!”
When we came back after eating a big bowl of ramen for breakfast – the guys looked a little depressed when the PD asked if it was okay to boil only five packets of ramen for six people – a welcome gift was waiting for us.
“Guys, the next album plan has been finally approved!”
“Yay!”
While we were filming the second episode of Jakon, toiling and struggling in the mountains, UA finished all the work for the comeback.
It seemed like they had met the tight deadline internally, unable to stand seeing Spark flustered.
Thank you. I will repay this favor with success. Not me, but the Spark guys.
It wasn’t just my well-finished business that warmly welcomed my return.
[You. Are you going to be okay, being out of favor with people in the industry? I’ve never seen anyone who is arrogant succeed. That’s your future.]
[Are you anxious because you have no skills? It’s sad to see you hiding behind people who don’t know anything and talking nonsense.. What a pitiful life.. Don’t live like that.]
[You. You’d better work hard on your image management.. This place is so small. A guy like you can’t even imagine, but.. It’s already getting a bit noisy. What is the status of an established singer and a producer?]
[Remember, there are many eyes watching you in the company. Whether it’s Jang Jun-hoo’s juniors or the locals… everyone is watching.]
Yoo Han-soo sent me a lot of text messages in just two days.
The spelling was so bad that it was hard to read. He even sent texts just like Manager Nam. I wonder if he got any training on how to send texts like that.
Was this person really this stupid?
At least when he hit my face, he seemed to have the intelligence to call me to a place without CCTV.
It seems that this man has never been accused by someone who has less than him in his life. Judging by the fact that he has left such open records that can serve as evidence.
To make up for that pitifulness, I captured and backed up the text messages that Yoo Han-soo sent me.
Everything went smoothly except for the issue of a limited number of spam text messages.
Just one thing, except for the recording.
After OJT, Lee Cheong-hyeon, whose rap skills improved like crazy, was judged by the director as harshly as his standards had improved.
‘Hyung Lee, let’s build harmony here just once?! I think we’ll do it live too! It’s so exciting!’
‘Seongbin hyung, can you please sing the high notes a little more steadily than now? I know you can do it!’
Excluding vocal genius Park Joo-woo, the four members had to record while being beaten up badly by Lee Cheong-hyeon.
The youngest siblings, who were so close, would fight for three minutes after saying one word.
As the old saying goes, fighting makes you grow. If that’s true, these guys will grow to 190cm by the end of this week.
That wasn’t all. Now that I was in a position where I had to watch the director together with Lee Cheong-hyeon, I had to dare to point out the recordings of my fellow Spark friends one by one.
‘I’m the director?’
‘Didn’t you give all the feedback through the A&R team for ‘Flowering’? Talking about it over and over is inefficient, so I think it would be better for you to watch the directing yourself and get in sync with the kids.’
… … This is how it turned out. Thanks to that, I ended up playing the role of a pitch checker, which is not something I have in my fortune. I also gained a mountain of new music knowledge.
However, under the leading direction of music master Lee Cheong-hyeon, the second song, ‘With List’, was completed perfectly.
‘Lee Cheong-hyeon, when you made the song like that, did you also prepare yourself to dance and sing it live?’
‘Of course. Do you think they would just think about the song and not even consider the choreography when they break up the beat?’
Then comes the bloody revenge of Choi Je-ho and Kang Ki-yeon.
It was an incredibly fulfilling time. Thanks to that, I can’t even remember if I was ever really a working person.
I finished checking my phone for the day while drinking the ionic drink that Mr. Newry put in the practice room as a token of his appreciation.
Now, all I had to do was return it to the manager as usual.
As soon as I finish talking to Mr. Polo.
Hellas Polo Senior
[Mr. Lee Wol]
[Spark is coming back??]
[I heard you contacted me at Dalbamdae]
me
[Hello, senior!
The detailed schedule has not been set yet, but
A press release will be coming out soon!]
Hellas Polo Senior
[oh]
[You’re working hard]
[Well, the early days of debut were really crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
While my head was thinking, ‘Why did this person contact me?’, my fingers were already sending out thank you notes for the compliments and telling me how honored I was to have participated in the radio program last time.
While we were exchanging a few more words, Mr. Polo said:
Hellas Polo Senior
[Are you going to wear a headband next time too?]
[If you’re going to wear a headband, I should prepare myself mentally too]
As expected from an idol who was once at the top. He never lets go of something that has become an issue.
For a guest, appearing on the radio might be a special event, but for the main DJ, it’s not. It’s something that happens over and over again.
Naturally, it is not easy to gather issues by only doing one’s original work.
I think I saw a meme like ‘A scene where someone is fooled by a handmade headband during a live broadcast’ somewhere.
In fact, after filming, she uploaded a picture on her SNS of a doll she received as a gift from a fan with a golden headband, saying that she had bought it as if she was possessed.
I respect them. They have the power of an idol who doesn’t miss even one thing like this.
me
[We will go beyond your imagination!]
But that’s impossible.
Are you sure you want to let an already famous DJ steal even a handful of news stories?
Then a quick reply came from Mr. Polo.
Hellas Polo Senior
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[I’ll be waiting for itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[I remember when Parte came out, it came in such a great fashion^^]
At the same time, I started to think a lot.
I wonder if I’m overdoing it.
This guy… …maybe he just wanted to tease me.

“under.”
Baek Hae-won came home from school and was stuck to the bed like cheese.
“Life is boring.”
Baek Hae-won sighed.
Baek Hae-won, who went to the reading room to study over the weekend, was so devastated by sleeplessness that he ended up coming home in broad daylight, waving the white flag.
Who doesn’t bring fun things from where?
Who will tell you that every minute and second of your content is delicious, while pushing out guaranteed sweet content?
Thinking like that, Baek Hae-won endlessly refreshed his SNS feed.
But no new articles were uploaded for a while.
The passion to solve a single puzzle even if the world was destroyed has all gone, and the feed is as quiet as a mouse.
At that moment, Baek Hae-won promised herself that she would play for exactly 3 more minutes and then wash up.
Immediately after the twenty-seventh refresh, a new post appeared.
3 seconds before upload time. He admitted to being a Spark fan and followed the official account name and the blue sticker next to it.
‘The bait has arrived!’
Baek Hae-won covered his mouth and jumped up like a live fish.
Until last week, the members’ personal content was uploaded without fail, but Baek Hae-won was always thirsty for new bait. That was the life of a fan.
‘Please come back, please a new song… … .’
Baek Hae-won prayed earnestly.
If the agency had just been a regular idol agency, I wouldn’t have had these worries, but since Spark was the company’s first idol, I had more than one or two worries.

Hey guys, do you see?
And one photo taken from underground, looking up at the sky.
Even though it’s still April, there’s a date in early May stuck in the corner of the photo.
Baek Hae-won was convinced after seeing this incomprehensible phrase and a photo that did not show a single strand of hair from the members.
That’s bait.
It’s a comeback!
UA is giving us Children’s Day presents that even our mom and dad no longer give us. Baek Hae-won thought that with her faded innocence.
The feeds of Baek Hae-won’s acquaintances, who said they were too old to use social media, are starting to regenerate.
Well then, that’s right. Baek Hae-won started to go crazy looking at his acquaintances who were so consistent.
≫ @minamhunter
No, I can’t see anything
Instead, it smells a bit like dirt.
└ No sir, when did you get buried?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ But it was too much of a live burial structure
“This is life… … This is life… … .”
Baek Hae-won smiled with satisfaction.
Baek Hae-won needed time to concentrate, to the point where he would tell his own blood relatives, who were noisily asking when he was going to shower, “Shut up and shower first or go to sleep!”
The blessings of the bait did not end there.
≫ @spArk_official
Does anyone remember what was written at that time?
The correction of the memories of the comment was really great.
I don’t remember, but I remember. Baek Hae-won muttered as he checked the attached photo below the post.
On the old, crumpled paper were written crooked letters in six different colors.
The letters were all overlapping, and the handwriting was not neat, as if it was written with the left hand, so it was difficult to read right away.
Baek Hae-won was happily waiting for fans who enjoyed interpreting bait to come.
And the very next day, the teaser was released.
Starting with the thumping sound of drums, an exciting melody with a different feel from the debut song, “Flowering,” flowed out.
Jeong Seong-bin stands in front of a whiteboard with the words, ‘The most exciting play project in the world!’ written on it.
And then, one after another, a screen appeared with a composition taken from above, of the members sitting facing each other in front of a conference room table.
Because of the camera angle, not all members were captured in one screen, but the angle soon changed to a different screen.
The screen quickly cut between a group dance in front of colorful amusement rides and the members each raiding their own homes to gather supplies, before turning off.
The members who appeared after the blackout were standing in a line at the entrance to a vast amusement park.
With a very solemn expression, wearing the flashiest headband that Park Joo-woo had ever worn.
Above that, the title was written in crooked letters, as if written with a white crayon, like the paper on the photo of the bait.
『With List』
And Baek Hae-won, who watched the teaser three times, applauded.
The kids are 100% pretty.
Helium balloons wrapped around each wrist are 100% cute.
It also has an exciting melody that would make any K-pop veteran get excited.
It was a teaser worth 300 points out of 100. Baek Hae-won was moved.
Even the colleagues of the handsome hunter asked, “Mr. Miheon, do you have enough bullets?” It was the best compliment that made the album worth spending money on.
But Baek Hae-won did not rest on his laurels.
The most dangerous thing for a fan is a bean pod. That’s why Baek Hae-won knocked on the door of the entertainment community that he had not entered for a while.
