I Became a Producer Who Rewrites Idols

18 – Scout (7)

[Name: Jo Min-joo]

[Fatigue: 86 → 43]

[Vocal: 27 → 49 / Dance: 16 → 44 / Talking: 33 → 37 / Visual: 43 → 57]

[Name: Gu Ga-eun]

[Fatigue: 28 → 27]

[Vocal: 20 → 41 / Dance: 25 → 47 / Talking: 39 → 40 / Visual: 40 → 41]

Maybe because they were destined to become idols, Jo Min-joo and Koo Ga-eun grew up quickly.

Well, the biggest improvement in your skills is when you first learn.

Still, it was convenient because I could clearly see it as an ability value in the status window rather than a feeling.

Jo Min-joo has also greatly improved in terms of her visuals.

She received skin care from a dermatologist contracted with Lucky Seven Entertainment.

Because of her poverty, she had to work outside a lot and couldn’t even apply lotion or sunscreen properly, so her skin was rough.

Although her eyes, nose, and mouth were pretty.

So, if Jo Min-joo continues to take care of her skin, her visual value will increase.

She told Cody to buy her both cosmetics and teach her how to do everyday makeup.

“So, producer, what is happening to me?” ?”

Gu Ga-eun tilted her head and looked at me.

Unlike Jo Min-joo, Goo Ga-eun’s visual value did not increase much.

First of all, Goo Ga-eun comes from a good family, so her skin is plump and spotless.

She had skin like a baby.

In other words, it wasn’t very useful for her to take care of her skin.

Her skin just had to stay like this.

Gu Ga-eun’s biggest problem is,

It was glasses.

… The glasses might have looked good on me, but they didn’t suit me at all.

So, in the [Idol Producing] Game, there was a story about Goo Ga-eun taking off her glasses to enhance her appearance.

“Ga-eun, have you ever used contact lenses?”

“No… …. I’m scared….”

She knew it would happen.

As if she understood my intention, Jo Min-ju took off Goo Ga-eun’s glasses.

I just took off her glasses,

It was much prettier.

Jo Min-ju must have felt that too, as her eyes rounded.

“… Ga-eun, your lenses are thick.”

“Yes, I am very nearsighted.”

Her eyes, which looked small because of the lenses of her glasses, got bigger when she took off her glasses.

The rest of the nose and lower part of the face don’t have anything special about them, so if you just take off those damn glasses, the appearance issue will be mostly solved.

“You should definitely take off your glasses.”

“Okay… ? But when I take off my glasses, I can barely see……. Even now, I can only see the shape of the democracy and not the details….”

“I’ll help you put on your lenses.”

“Have you ever worn contact lenses?”

“…… No.”

To begin with, Jo Min-joo did not have bad eyesight.

But I guess he was worried because we had become close friends.

Although she encouraged Goo Ga-eun several times to wear her contact lenses,

… She said she was scared of Gu Ga-eun, so she refused.

Well, I already expected it.

“Ga-eun, would you like to have LASIK?”

“If it’s LASIK… …. Surgery on the eyes… ?”

“That’s right. “You don’t have to wear glasses at all.”

“Oh, that’s really nice…” !”

Gu Ga-eun said, her eyes flashing at my words.

Most people who wear glasses say they want to take them off.

That’s why you get LASIK even if it’s not for cosmetic purposes.

Actually, I’ve never worn glasses before, so I don’t know the details….

Jo Min-ju looked at me,

“… “Mister, the kid who’s afraid of lenses is going to have surgery like LASIK—.”

I spoke the truth, but

“Hey, me! I’m going to get LASIK… !!”

Gu Ga-eun shouted, raising her hands so high that her armpits were clearly visible.

Jo Min-ju turned her head to Goo Ga-eun, and she gave an expression as if she knew him but didn’t know.

… To be honest, even I, who persuaded him, felt dumbfounded.

“I understand. “We will fully bear the cost.”

“Wow… ! Free LASIK… ! As expected, Lucky Seven… !!”

Gu Ga-eun’s family must have plenty of money for LASIK…. She said

First of all, since it was a surgery, her guardian’s consent was needed, so she asked me to send her a consent form like last time.

As she strongly insisted that it was necessary for idols to be pretty, a guardian consent form was immediately sent from her father to her office fax machine.

Two sheets came through the fax machine, and one was just an ordinary guardian’s consent form.

… We strongly advise you to get the other sheet from a competent ophthalmologist to avoid any side effects.

It was sent to me personally.

If there are even the slightest side effects, legal proceedings will be taken against me and the company….

Well, since I recommended it, of course I hoped there would be as few side effects as possible.

If side effects occur and I can no longer become an idol, there will be no point in having LASIK as a producer.

“So, I think Minju will have to train alone for a while.”

“How many weeks?”

“They said it would take about 2 to 4 weeks to recover. “It varies from person to person, so I plan to get it properly confirmed by a doctor before proceeding.”

Jo Min-ju nodded.

The reason I called the two was because I had one more thing to convey.

“We have decided on a duo name.”

The sound of Jo Min-joo and Gu Ga-eun gulping was clearly heard.

He seemed nervous because it was an important name that he would be working with in the future.

“Afternoon sweets.”

“Yes… ? Sweets, sweets… ?”

Jo Min-joo, who had barely done any academic work, did not seem to understand what the words were.

“Afternoon… ? Sweet… ?”

… However, even Gu Ga-eun, who was a model student, did not understand.

“Sweet refers to sweet snacks. So, I eat sweet snacks in the afternoon.”

“Wow… ! Then I can eat sweet snacks while being an idol… ?”

Jo Min-ju lightly tapped Gu Ga-eun on the shoulder,

“Ga-eun, that can’t be possible. That’s just our concept, are you really going to eat cookies? “It must be hard to manage your weight.”

I stated the truth again.

“Yes, I will let you eat cookies.”

… And Jo Min-joo’s correct opinion was again astray by me.

Jo Min-joo stared at my face as if he had no idea what I was thinking.

I put the items I had previously purchased in the office on the table.

“I’m giving this to you two.”

“This little camera… ?”

Gu Ga-eun opened the box and looked at the camera.

… I was a bit surprised that the price was higher than I expected.

Fortunately, Manager Ko Kang-tae approved the letter of acceptance.

Because Afternoon Sweets had not officially debuted yet, there was no direct budget set aside for Afternoon Sweets.

“Mister, what do we have to film…” ?”

“The daily life of the two of you. “I would like a school routine if possible.”

“Yes? Are you taking pictures of your school daily life? “Let alone taking pictures, who will see it if you upload it?”

Gu Ga-eun said, “Ah!” As she said this, her eyes widened.

“You know what… ! Was it a vlog?”

“That’s right, Ga-eun.”

“Vlog… ? What is it… ?”

Instead of me, Koo Ga-eun explained to Jo Min-joo about her vlog.

Gu Ga-eun herself turned on her smartphone and showed a vlog on YouTube.

“People see this…. Amazing….”

… It was an unbelievable reaction from a kid these days.

“But do people notice that we post things like this…? ? Oh, it’s not that your thoughts are strange….”

Jo Min-joo asked me without any confidence.

[Visual: 57] Is not enough to make you a full-fledged celebrity, but you are at the top of the list among ordinary people, so I hope you have confidence.

“It won’t just be uploaded to your personal account, it will be uploaded to your company account. “Editing will also be done by a professional editor from Lucky Seven.”

“Ah… !! This allows people who have subscribed to the Lucky Seven channel to watch it naturally… ?!”

“That’s right, Ga-eun.”

Gu Ga-eun seemed to know about YouTube.

At first, she drew attention by uploading it to the Lucky Seven channel, and once she had gained some attention, she planned to create a separate channel and separate it.

… Since this was also an approval issue, she worked hard to persuade Manager Ko Kang-tae.

She had never posted a V-log on the company channel.

Actually, this didn’t come from my head either.

[Idol Producing] This was the method used by the main character producer when producing Afternoon Sweets in the game.

… The duo’s name, Afternoon Sweets, was taken directly from the game.

“I’m not going to upload a vlog right away, so practice how to write it. Ga-eun, go to the ophthalmologist with me today and schedule the surgery.”

“I understand.” “Yes… !!”

Afterwards, he put Goo Ga-eun in her car and headed to her eye clinic.

***

Starting the day after all four Berryz members went to the office of new producer Jeong Oh-jun and bowed their heads in apology,

Jeong Oh-jun’s producing has resumed.

Jin Hae-sol also had doubts about whether it was really idol producing.

Still, I did something worthy of an idol.

The new song was recorded first.

The subject of this new song was the feelings of her girlfriend, whom she had just started dating.

I liked the theme itself because it looked like a neat idol.

We also took a pictorial to accompany the new song.

Berries members also liked the straw hat and sleeveless white dress, as if she was going to the beach with her girlfriend.

Each person took a proactive approach by striking cute and pretty poses.

But the happiness of taking pictures of such small, ordinary idols was short-lived.

Under pressure from producer Jeong Oh-jun, Yang Hae-in eventually burst into tears.

“Hold on… …. They said they’re releasing a new song and it’s going to be broadcast next week….”

Jin Hae-sol hugged Yang Hae-in in his arms.

A child who was always confident and assertive,

It became infinitely smaller.

After filming for Joo Do-yeon was completed,

“We should have a company dinner, right?”

Producer Jeong Oh-jun said.

I wish I could just go home.

Jinhae Sol was itching to say that, but

“Yes… , is it so… ….”

I couldn’t do that.

I got in the car from the filming studio and headed back to Lucky Seven Entertainment’s headquarters.

Producer Oh-Jun Jeong immediately sat down on the sofa in the reception area.

“Haesol, use this to buy beer and peanut snacks. “Take what’s left.”

“Yes… ….”

After receiving her corporate card, Jinhae Sol went outside the Lucky Seven headquarters.

She then went to the convenience store and bought peanut snacks and beer bottles in a plastic bag.

She thought about having something to eat with Judo-yeon at the dorm, so she went out with ten bottles in abundance.

It was heavier than I thought.

Holding a plastic bag in both hands, she entered the Lucky Seven headquarters again.

At the time when I was heading to producer Jeong Oh-jun’s office,

“Yes, Jooyun, Eva, and Zion. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Yes… ! I’ll give you coffee tomorrow too… !!”

“Producer! “If you have any side dishes you want for lunch, please send us a message!”

Cursed Dolls members,

Im Boo-gil was the producer.

He is the person who first planned Berries.

Producer Lim Boo-gil was trying to enter office 302,

“Uh, Mr. Haesol?”

I looked into Jinhae Sol.

Jinhae Sol was startled and ended up taking a step back from her.

Producer Im Boo-gil came completely out of the hallway and approached Jin Hae-sol.

“Beer? There are also peanut snacks. “Would you like to have a drink with Doyeon?”

“…… “That has nothing to do with it.”

“hahahaha, well, that’s true. Because it looks heavy. “Can I listen to you?”

Producer Lim Bu-gil’s face smiles carefreely,

Jinhae Sol did not like her.

The group he ruined is now in a situation where he has to absolutely obey producer Jeong Jeong-jun while flattering him with his body.

There was a rumor going around that Cursed Dolls was so successful that producer Lim Boo-gil liked the CEO.

They even said that if the new project they are currently working on is as successful as Cursed Dolls, they will be promoted to senior level.

Why?

Why,

Berrys’ next project, Cursed Dolls, is known as a talented producer.

So, by all means,

Producer Im Boo-gil did not hold Berries back,

It seemed like Berries was holding back producer Lim Boo-gil.

“…… “I want to ask you something.”

“Tell me.”

“If we give it to them, or rather to the producer, can we make it a success like the Cursed Dolls?” ?”

“…… Yes?”
