Raising a Neglected Singer-Songwriter - Chapter 20
Only Krnovel
Episode 20. Chechola (6)
A classroom in an abandoned school in Gyeonggi-do used as a filming location for .
The production crew, including Ahn Chi-seop and Ohana, gathered together in one place from the morning.
“Is the content of this article true?”
“That’s right.”
“hmm…….”
Producer Ahn Chi-seop chewed his lower lip.
Depending on how you frame the same facts, the picture can be completely different.
For example, something like this.
The celebrity’s parents sold their son’s name and swindled money from people around them.
With the fact that.
[A celebrity’s parents charged with fraud.]
This is just dealing with facts.
[Could a celebrity really not have known about his parents’ fraudulent activities?]
This one goes a little further and subtly frames parents and celebrities in the same frame.
[Shock! A Celebrity, Implicated in Fraud!]
At this point, it’s time to start feeding them in earnest.
Maybe you didn’t like that celebrity originally, or you weren’t on good terms with them.
Or, it may simply have been written provocatively to attract views.
A clever way to highlight celebrity A by changing the tone.
If you actually click on the title and look at the article, there are facts such as the parents committed fraud and while committing the fraud, they sold the name of their child, celebrity A, but that is just wordplay to avoid legal responsibility, and people reading the article already start to think within the frame set by the reporter.
Then, celebrity A’s side publishes an article like this through reporters they are close to.
[A celebrity hasn’t seen his parents in 10 years. It’s a heartbreaking story, but… ]
and.
A beggar who changes his position from the son of a conman to a victim with a sad story.
This is the frame.
An Chi-seop read the malicious frame in the article that broke out last night.
[My trainee, Lee Dong-ha, was diagnosed with a developmental disability!]
[Lee Dong-ha trainee’s early broadcast appearance revisited, is it a side effect of developmental disability?]
[Developmental Disabilities Are Incurable? Interview with Professor XXX of the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.]
[The reason trainee Lee Dong-ha spent his teenage years in the United States was to treat his developmental disability.]
Developmental disabilities are not a fault.
Moreover, looking at his current appearance, it is hard to believe that he was diagnosed with a developmental disability as a child.
In the end, what matters is the direction in which the issue flows.
Youtube.
SNS.
Idols have to be cool.
Because it’s a job that sells dreams.
However, through various media, awkward or strange images are maliciously edited and spread with various arbitrary interpretations.
I just edited it out like that to intentionally draw out the aggro in the beginning.
In this situation, there is no such thing as a bottleneck.
“Are you telling the marketing team to take down the article as much as possible?”
“Haa… … The article is negotiating, but as you know, PD-nim, if it spreads through the community or SNS, we can’t do anything about it… … .”
The age of multimedia has arrived and this is what makes things like this so frustrating.
The days of getting news through newspapers are over.
Of course, many people still subscribe to paper newspapers. Many people also indulge in portal articles, but even more people get news through communities, SNS, YouTube, etc.
“What the f*ck… … .”
From now on, whenever Lee Dong-ha does something, he will be given the malicious label of “is this a developmental disability?”
If he was just one of the trainees, then you could just abandon him and leave. But that’s not him.
I am attracting viewers for the idols I choose.
A trainee who ranks at the top of the topic rankings.
Even the main vocalist is talented enough to compose music… … Talented?
Oh, right.
There was a part of the picture that was accidentally found, but I was worried that it might be too pushy, so I was going to air it as a behind-the-scenes special after the debut group was confirmed.
As the picture connected to that point, a brilliant idea struck the back of An Chi-seop’s head.
“Hehehehehe… … These kids. I’m An Chi-seop. Where the hell are you kidding me?”
An Chi-seop suddenly burst into laughter.
“… … Why, why are you doing this, Director?”
No one knows what’s going on, so they just roll their eyes and look at each other.
I was sure of one thing.
‘A person who is crazy about broadcasting. But still, they are trying to use this as bait again.’
Among the broadcasting station guys, he is one of the top ranks when it comes to being an evil broadcasting station guy.
An Chi-seop’s eyes sparkle.
“It was supposed to be a behind-the-scenes special after episode 13 ended. Let’s cut it into the first and second halves and put it in episodes 12 and 13.”
“Episode 13… is a direct live broadcast?”
“You can just schedule it as 14 episodes and push back the last episode by one. They’ve already scheduled additional episodes anyway, so what’s the problem?”
An Chi-seop called out to FD Na Tae-pyeong, who was about to run to the marketing team.
“Hey, take back what I said about taking down the article. Just let it burn.”
Firewood tastes better when it’s burning.
Then the pot won’t boil.
There may be a long term stigma attached to Lee Dong-ha, and there may be malicious accusations, but who cares?
A way to sell it on a bigger scale just occurred to me.
‘Spicy. Twisted. And a human story.’
It’s like the basic formula for creating an engaging story.
An unexpected human story plot twist has emerged.
but.
Less than an hour later.
All articles and posts about Lee Dong-ha’s past developmental disabilities disappeared from all portals and communities in an instant.
Even SNS.
Even YouTube.
like.
As if something invisible and huge had rubbed it hard with an eraser.
“… … Is this possible?”
ah.
Only one article was left behind.
[ – All of the content regarding that was first reported by our ‘Hotpick Entertainment’ was confirmed to be groundless false information, so we are correcting it. We deeply apologize for reporting false information without confirming the exact facts… (omitted)… ….]
The correction report is displayed at the very top of the news section of the portal.
“What is this? How did the correction come out so quickly?”
Journalists are a species that originally did not apologize.
People who are born that way don’t become reporters, but once they become reporters, they become people who can’t apologize once they take food from the media.
Misreporting is a factor that directly affects the credibility of the media, and a decline in credibility leads to loss of readers and decrease in advertising revenue, so the company cannot do it.
So, as time goes by, hold on as long as you can until people forget about you.
After a lawsuit is filed, they put up a small correction in a corner.
It’s one of two things.
For a moment, the image of Lee Dong-ha’s father, a doctor, came to Ahn Chi-seop’s mind, but soon disappeared.
If even a broadcasting station can’t do that, how can you call yourself a rich doctor?
The time when Ahn Chi-seop still looks puzzled with an expression on his face that he doesn’t understand.
“… … Uh, PD-nim… … I think you should take a look at this too?”
FD Na Tae-pyeong hands over his cell phone.
[Super Musician Season 8. Controversial musician at this point? With the competitors eliminated due to school violence and manipulation controversies, Emmit Lee, who had emerged as a candidate for the championship, was arrested on emergency grounds after testing positive for drugs!]
[Moon Gil-yong, who was involved in the Super Musician manipulation controversy, confesses his conscience, “The manipulation was only done because the PD ordered it.”]
[Super Musician Contestant Yoon Taeyang Reveals Hidden Girlfriend’s Pregnancy, Abortion, and Assault!]
Before we had time to wonder why the burning issue had disappeared, a new topic took over the portals and communities.
“These guys are totally fucked up.”
There was smoke coming out of my house, so I was putting it out, and out of nowhere, the house next door burst into flames.
* * *
Jaemin Group Chairman, Yoon Tae-joo’s home in Hannam-dong.
“What’s going on at work?”
Yoon Tae-joo’s wife, Bae So-yeon, asked while taking a spoonful of soup.
“No problem.”
When Yoon Tae-joo answered as if it was nothing, silence flowed around the table for a moment.
“Then… …you have a girl?”
At his wife’s words, Yoon Tae-joo stopped eating his spoon and looked at her.
“Why are you curious about that?”
“He never looked at his phone during meal times, but when I looked at his phone, I thought he was waiting for a woman to call.”
The maid in charge of meals looked down, thinking that it wouldn’t have been as awkward as it was now if she had grabbed him by the collar and fought him or raised her voice.
A conglomerate leader and his wife, exchanging words that seem to come out of a soap opera without any emotion.
“Why don’t you eat something?”
Chairman Yoon Tae-joo spoke coldly and moved his spoon again in silence, while Bae So-yeon answered without showing any particular emotion.
“… … If you ever meet a woman, tell me. I need to know her face.”
“I told you there are no women.”
For the first time, emotions appeared on Bae So-yeon’s face at Yoon Tae-joo’s words.
It wasn’t the kind of jealousy or betrayal that a wife might show when she suspects her husband.
“Yes. There is no woman… in your life.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“Just. That’s it.”
“You wake up first.”
A sense of loneliness settles around Bae So-yeon’s eyes as she looks at Yoon Tae-joo’s back.

Developmental disability… …
Although all the articles were taken down and a correction was issued in less than half a day, it seems like the remaining members of Naepwidol are still concerned about me for no reason.
Throughout today’s shoot, I felt like the staff and trainees were being conscious of me and being considerate of me for no reason.
“Don’t worry about it, Dongha.”
Wooyeol laughs while patting Hyung on the back.
“I don’t care.”
“Right? I don’t think you’ll care. But I’m telling you not to care.”
I guess you think I’m just pretending to be okay, but it really is.
To begin with, I’m not the type of person who really cares about what other people think of me.
to be honest.
Same name, but different people?
It’s not that I don’t think of myself as a mover now, but I’m a different person from the mover who had a developmental disability.
So I didn’t think much of it.
‘But I’m a little worried about him… … .’
I was lying on my bed in my hotel room, fiddling with my phone.
Every other day, I would capture an article and send it to them, and send them a link.
What was good?
Today at the hospital, someone was talking about me and said that my mouth was twitching.
Beomseok, who used to send messages to the bald eagle like a high school girl in puberty, has not responded.
-Old Sancho. Have you been eating?
Knock knock, I moved my finger to send a message and…
‘Should I have spoken more warmly?’
I did have a little bit of regret about doing it.
Wheeee …
The phone rings.
Still, I wasn’t completely exhausted, I thought as I checked my phone.
-Come quickly. We have to finish.
It’s not Beomseok, it’s producer Jo Inchang.

At the end of the 4th floor hallway, Jo In-chang’s temporary workroom.
Jo In-chang asked, sitting on his chair upside down, resting his chin on his hand.
“Are you okay?”
I’m glad there are so many people worried about me today.
The problem is that I can’t contact the person I’m worried about.
“Doesn’t it look okay?”
“It seems okay. Anyway, I can’t help but like those reporters. They write articles without even checking properly.”
Jo In-chang glanced at me and then continued speaking.
“The guy who wrote the article is a problem, but the guys who are criticizing it without even checking properly are a bigger problem. What’s going on? They don’t have the spirit of a journalist. Isn’t that right?”
“You don’t have to worry. I’m really okay.”
Jo In-chang smiled awkwardly at my answer and patted my shoulder.
“Yeah. Whatever it is, just be okay. The entertainment industry is all about skill. Just as important is mental strength. If you have any worries or are in a shaky situation, please let me know. I’ll help you if I can. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll at least listen to you.”
I still can’t get used to it.
When we work on music and talk for a couple hours at night like this, he’s a real pushover, but when the morning comes and we start filming for Nae-Pwa-Dol, he’s a total snobbery and a total slacker.
Jiha, who shares a room with me, shed tears yesterday because of this guy.
The guy who worries about my mental health was about to say something like, “Do you really break other people’s mental health that easily?” but stopped himself.
Because you said that out of concern for me.
Honestly, I’m okay with this guy too.
Despite the age difference, he’s the kind of person who acknowledges what needs to be acknowledged.
Without belittling my skills.
And they also teach you how to use the machine.
Thanks to that.
“completion.”
“Are you done?”
“yes.”
“Okay. You put on your headphones too. Let’s listen.”
Jo In-chang dragged a chair with his feet and sat down at the work table.
Then he closes his eyes and starts nodding his head.
“Ugh… … . Ha! Huh! I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you. You did it alone in the front, but this is our joint work? I did half of it! Got it?!”
He stretched his arms out into the air, making strange screams… … .
“Please take off your headphones and speak.”
“What?! I can’t hear you!”
“Heh… … Ah. Okay.”
I decided to just leave it alone. I thought he’d yell again.
like that.
It was a good day where I heard good stories from good people and finished a dance song, so the day ended well.
… … It must have been like that.
I ended up hearing something I shouldn’t have heard from Jo In-chang, who was unusually talkative.
“Dinner with Chairman Yoon Tae-joo? Producer Ahn Chi-seop? What power does he have to have a meal with the CEO of a large corporation?”
“I told you I promised.”
“Hey. You, you’re the reason I’m trying to lure you into working with me. I’m afraid people will take advantage of you. I don’t know why I have to eat with Chairman Yoon Tae-joo, but that’s a lie. A full lie.”
