I Became a Producer Who Rewrites Idols

Chapter 20

20 – Rescue (2)

In order to get Berries out from Producer Jeong Jeong-jun,

Producer Jeong Oh-jun had to be kicked out of the company.

From what I heard from Jin Hae-sol, Manager Ko Kang-tae said that Producer Oh Jung-jun was the last.

It was because Berryz had called for a producer change several times, including me.

So it was impossible to further replace the producer.

But that doesn’t mean I can take charge of Berries from now on.

It was realistically difficult because I had afternoon sweets production.

If you want to get producer Jeong Oh-jun fired, you have to prove the atrocities he did to Berryz.

Proof was needed.

There was a high possibility that the company would not move quickly based on the testimony of Berries members alone.

Because Berryz’s performance is so poor, there may be suspicions that producer Oh Jung-jun is innocent.

Even if we believe the testimony of Berryz members, it would be better for the company to bury the incident altogether.

Rather, we were able to take the steps to disband Berries.

Ding—.

I heard a chat notification sound and took my smartphone out of my pocket.

[Im Boo-gil has entered.]

You were invited to Berry’s group chat room.

Fortunately, Jin Hae-sol seemed to have successfully persuaded the remaining three members.

[Me: Hello.]

Is this a little strange?

It’s not even the first time we’ve met.

… To be honest, it was my first time chatting.

[Yang Hae-in: Hello.]

[Jin Hae-sol: Hello.]

Surprisingly, Yang Hae-in responded faster than Jin Hae-sol.

Joo Do-yeon and Go Na-kyung also seemed to have read the message, but there was no reply.

[Me: First of all, I need evidence to prove what producer Oh Jung-jun did.]

[Jin Hae-sol: Can I record it… ?]

[Me: Recording is also important. But if you are going to carry a voice recorder anyway, a small camera is better.]

It is better to be able to include both video and audio rather than audio alone.

[Jin Hae-sol: Ah… , Hidden camera?]

[Me: That’s right. I ordered a camouflage camera to be delivered to Berry’s dorm yesterday, so please receive it and use it.]

[Jin Hae-sol: Okay….]

It may be painful for Berryz, but

In order to collect evidence, producer Oh Jung-jun had to use his power to s*xually harass and take pictures several more times.

[Me: First of all, it must be recorded that you have properly expressed your refusal in advance.]

[Yang Hae-in: I am a minor and I have said I don’t like it before, so it wouldn’t be strange.]

[Me: No, not only Mr. Haein, but all four people must express their refusal.]

[Jin Hae-sol: Yes, let’s all say we don’t like it.]

[Me: We need to get Oh Jung-jun to say that we will disband if he doesn’t follow what we say.]

[Jin Hae-sol: Okay….]

After expressing his intention to refuse, Producer Oh Jung-jun used his power, and from then on, Berryz had to obey obediently.

If you overstimulate Jeon Jung-jun and end up using violence, there will be no turning back.

[Me: In fact, I can try to get Oh Jung-jun kicked out just by threatening him. But I want to make you pay for everything that happened to you, right?]

[Jin Hae-sol: Yes….]

[Me: Then, after filming the threat, do as Oh Jung-jun tells you.]

[Yang Hae-in: Are you going to film all of that with hidden cameras?]

[Me: That’s right. To properly accuse Oh Jung-jun, we need more evidence than anything else.]

[Me: Still, your safety and mental health come first, so if it’s too difficult, just don’t do it.]

[Jin Hae-sol: Okay…. Still, I’ll gather as much evidence as I can… ….]

I took out one more thing, insurance, just in case.

According to Jin Hae-sol, producer Jeong Jeong-jun forces them to entertain guests in his office.

He was thinking of installing a hidden camera in his office.

But I need to avoid getting caught as much as possible.

I purchased a camouflage camera that looks like a fire alarm.

The justification for installing a fire alarm was simple.

It was reported that I accidentally started a fire in the office yesterday.

All they had to do was say that the company had issued an order to install fire alarms in each office.

“Professor Joe, how do you feel? Are you worker-like enough?”

I also purchased and wore a vest that could be used by field workers and could hold various tools.

To confirm whether I looked like a field worker to others, I asked producer Cho Hyun-ho, who was sitting at the desk to my left.

“Yes, the clothes are like that, but…. What do you plan on doing to your face?”

I also shared this Berrys incident with producer Jo Hyun-ho.

It seemed like he didn’t know producer Oh Jung-jun very well, so it didn’t seem like the information would leak out.

So, I asked him to investigate whether any of the s*xy pics of Berryz he had taken before were circulating on the Internet.

Just because Oh Jung-jun owns the photo and distributing the photo are completely different crimes.

“I’m going to do my face like this.”

“I can’t tell for sure who it is, but….”

From noble mtl dot com

A white mask covered the nose and mouth, and sunglasses covered the eyes.

… To be honest, I felt like I would be caught by the security guard if I went to the bank like this.

I had no choice but to push on.

I held in my hands a bag containing a power drill and a camera disguised as a fire alarm.

I walked to the office where producer Jeong Oh-jun was.

People around me glanced at me in the hallway, but they all seemed to think I was just a worker.

Knock knock.

I knocked on the door of producer Jeong Oh-jun’s office.

Then a male voice was heard from inside, “Who are you?”

It was the voice I heard the other day in the women’s living space of the dormitory building.

In other words, it was Jeon Jeong-jun himself.

He spoke in a more subdued voice than usual.

“I’m here to install a fire alarm.”

“Yes? “Smoke alarm?”

“We have been instructed to install fire alarms in all offices.”

“Mr. Ha… , Now that I think about it, I heard that yesterday, the cub was playing with fire with a match and the fire extinguisher bell rang…. “Please come in.”

… You just started the fire by mistake, not while playing with fire?

It seemed like something had been misrepresented and the story had spread.

Well, I still went as I intended, so I grabbed the doorknob and turned it.

The office structure, of course, was no different from room 302.

I bowed slightly to producer Jeong Jeong-jun, greeted him kindly like a real worker, and then said,

A ladder was spread out on the floor.

“Uh…. “Why are you wearing sunglasses and a mask?”

Producer Jeong Oh-jun was also suspicious of me.

Of course, I prepared an excuse.

“I wore a mask because I had the flu. As for sunglasses, I just had cataract surgery….”

“No, if it’s the flu, it spreads to people…” . Why don’t you rest at home….”

“… Did I come out because I wanted to too? “I have no choice because I have to make money.”

“What… …. Then, let’s get to work and go.”

“Yes.”

I somehow got over it.

Producer Jeong Oh-jun touched the ceiling near the desk where he usually works.

I was planning to install a real fire alarm here, not a fake one.

Nowadays, there are some that run on batteries, so it is possible to do so without electrical wiring.

“Then let’s begin.”

“Yes.”

So that producer Jeong Oh-jun does not have any more doubts,

I deliberately showed him the main body of the fire alarm to confirm that it was a real fire alarm.

The fire alarm bracket was put into pieces, and the fire alarm body was inserted into the bracket.

After coming down from the ladder for a moment, the Berryz members almost forcibly moved the ladder near the reception sofa where they had entertained producer Jeong Jeong-jun.

And the moment you try to put your foot on the step of the ladder,

“Are there two?”

He asked me.

It didn’t seem like there was any question as to whether or not a camera was attached.

“This office is quite spacious, isn’t it? So I asked each office to get two.”

Producer Jeong Oh-jun did not respond to what I said, but just nodded.

… Are you looking down on me now because I am a worker?

You have a very poor personality.

Well, I guess he may have done something like that to the Berrys kids without any hesitation.

This time, I installed a small camera that looked like a fire alarm, which was the reason I came here.

In fact, the installation method was not much different.

Putting a bracket into the ceiling as a piece and inserting the main body into the groove of the bracket.

Even small cameras ran on batteries, so there was no need for electrical wiring.

“Then let’s go.”

I bowed my head once politely.

First of all, I have to play a friendly worker.

… This time too, Producer Jeong Jeong-jun just nodded his head slightly and said nothing.

Shouldn’t we at least say ‘Good luck!’?

Anyway, the goal was achieved, so I folded the ladder and returned to room 302.

I took off my sunglasses, hat, and vest and placed them in the corner of the office.

“Professor Lim, I found a clue.”

Producer Cho Hyun-ho turned his chair back and spoke to me.

You’re so talented, you’ve already found a clue.

They say he was the person with the best performance among my classmates, but he did a good job.

“If you look here, there is a specialized site where you can pay a membership fee and share the personal stories of active idols.”

Is this the dark web I’ve only heard about?

It was not yet known whether producer Oh Jung-jun uploaded the Berries photo to the sharing site.

It looked promising.

“I want to try signing up.”

“This could cause misunderstanding, so I think it would be a good idea to get approval from the manager in advance.”

“Oh, of course.”

First of all, it is a shared site where active idols have personal stories,

I thought it would be enough to explain that we need to join in order to monitor whether there are any idols on our side.

“I asked the site administrator here about the subscription fee and payment method. The subscription fee is 3 million won per month to view and possess all materials, and payment is made using virtual currency.”

I don’t know if that manager is Oh Jung-jun,

If only 10 people gave 3 million won, it would be possible to raise 30 million won per month.

Furthermore, the 3 million won plan includes viewing and collection of all materials, so considering that there are cheaper plans as well.

The scale never seemed small.

It smelled like a full-blown crime.

***

Berrys members—Joo Do-yeon, Go Na-kyung, Yang Hae-in, and Jin Hae-sol—opened the package ordered by producer Im Boo-gil.

Inside it were a hat, a bag, a watch, and a wallet.

“Is this a camera?”

Yang Hae-in held a bag and looked around.

Then I noticed that there was a camera lens in a small, button-like thing.

“This is the camera in the middle of the hat… ….”

Jin Hae-sol also said while looking at the hat.

“Let’s go to Jeon Jeong-jun like this.”

Yang Hae-in turned his head to Joo Do-yeon, Go Na-kyung, and Jin Hae-sol one after another.

Jinhae Sol immediately nodded her head.

But Joo Joo-yeon and Go Na-kyung stayed still.

“Will it really work out well?”

Joo Do-yeon looked at Yang Hae-in and Jin Hae-sol alternately and asked.

Yang Hae-in and Jin Hae-sol nodded.

Then Joo Do-yeon sighed and continued.

“You know that if we get caught, we’ll just fly away, right?”

“Doyeon, I want to be an idol, I don’t want to be a prostitute. “If she wants to become a whore, she should do it alone.”

“Ugh… !!”

Joo Do-yeon could not refute Yang Hae-in’s words.

Sir Gona silently grabbed his watch and put it on his left wrist.

Judo Yeon eventually took his wallet in his hand.

“Then guys, let’s go…” … !!”

Jinhae Sol said, squeezing her hand.

Yang Hae-in, Go Na-kyung, and Joo Do-yeon all nodded.

I left the dormitory building and walked to the headquarters building, which was almost right next to it.

There were approximately 15 minutes left until producer Jeong Oh-jun’s usual work time.

He will still be in the office.

All four people turned on their cameras and started recording.

When I knocked on the office door and entered, Producer Oh Jung-jun gave me an expression as if asking why I had suddenly come to see him as a group.

When he narrowed his eyes, Go Na-kyung and Joo Do-yeon flinched.

Jinhae Sol took a step forward and was the first to open her mouth.

“Well, we…. I don’t want to take s*xy pics anymore… ….”

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? I took a good picture yesterday. “What, didn’t you have enough money?”

“It’s not about money… !! We all feel so ashamed and ashamed of taking such explicit photos… !!”

“I don’t want to be an idol because I feel ashamed and embarrassed, is this it?”

“It’s not about idols, I just don’t like pornographic photos…” !!”

Producer Jeong Oh-jun sighed.

It was as if he was tired of a child’s whining.

“Do you guys keep giving people a hard time? No, if you don’t follow my instructions, you can become producers yourself. “I don’t like this, I don’t like that, how do I make it all fit?”

“We didn’t say we didn’t like this or that… !! I just don’t like dirty things… !!”

“You all say that?”

Producer Oh-Jun Jeong approached Joo-Yeon Jo with great strides.

And then he looked down at Joo Do-yeon in an intimidating manner.

“Doyeon you are. “You don’t want to do it too?”

“Well, that…” .”

While Joo Do-yeon was hesitating, producer Oh Jung-jun took his wallet out of his pocket and took out several 50,000 won bills.

“Now, are you doing this because you want to buy something? “If you need more, let me know.”

Joo Do-yeon’s gaze fell on the 50,000 won bill in the hand of producer Jeong Jeong-jun.

Yang Hae-in knew right away.

Now Joo Do-yeon is tempted by money.

If you get paid, there is no point in bringing a camera.
