245 Something Creeping in the Shadows (2/2)
The two made a few other small talks before breaktime ended.
The filming went on for a few more hours.
While Yeo Ri was busy enacting her scenes with the casts, Kwon Tae Yang was busy with the girl's social media account.
Due to Yeo Ri's young age, President Park was worried that having a social media account would impact her growth negatively, thus she appointed Manager Kwon as Yeo Ri's account administrator who would supervise her online interactions and moderate the account in her stead. In this way, they could be more careful in minimising content that could cause the young girl to be attacked by vicious netizens.
The man meticulously chose a picture from the array in the photo gallery, then moved on to add a suitable caption to match the picture. He silently drew his breath, ready to channel his inner teenage girl.

Kwon Tae Yang stared at his handiwork for a hot minute, tilting his head with a clouded gaze before closing his eyes for several seconds. Sighing deeply, he muttered, ”F*ck it,” then tapped on the 'publish post' button.
Within seconds of the picture being published online, the notifications began to ring, signalling the flood of 'likes' and comments quickly gathering on the post.
[MyAngelLeeYeoRi: gorgeous \u003c3 \u003c3 \u003c3]
[Cheonsa'sFirstLove: filming a sageuk? The visuals~~~~~ \u003c33333 I can't~~~~ \u003c333333]
[rrrrr: this girl can step on me and I'll thank her kekekeke totally not licking the screen rn kekeke]
[ajh22: you're so pretty~~~ let's be friends~~~]
[ajh22: I sent you a DM ^w^ commenting just in case you didn't see it]
[ajh22: Miss Yeo Ri, please look at your DMs \u003ew\u003c]
[ajh22: I love you pleeeeaaaaaase let me get to know you better]
[ajh22: Miss Lee!!! Please!!! I'm begging you reply to my DM please]
Kwon Tae Yang furrowed his eyebrows as he saw the spam comments by the user [ajh22]. This person kept commenting on every single post, demanding to get acquainted with Yeo Ri. While nothing was currently happening, Kwon Tae Yang had an inkling that this might develop into something dangerous if he didn't nip it at the bud. After all, crimes involving social media influencers were on the rise as of late; he was not going to allow such a risk to come close to the girl he was in charge of protecting.
Frowning with irritation, he opened up the account's direct messages and tapped on the incessant user's message. He began to compose a message:
[Greetings, Mr. ajh22. This is the official account of Hope Entertainment's new artist Miss Lee Yeo Ri and it is managed by the company's staff. The artist has little involvement in the usage of this account and thus would be unable to respond to you inquiries. Have a good day.]
After ending the note politely, he checked for misspellings and sent it to the other party. Of course, while his words held some truth, the other parts were nonsense. Yeo Ri had enough control over the account that he would not usually breach into her DMs, but figuring that it might bother the poor girl, he decided to deal with him personally.
[You're lying! You definitely just want to get rid of me, don't you? Don't be like that~ let's be friends, okay?]
Kwon Tae Yang heaved a deeper sigh after reading his response. He copied his earlier wall of text, then sent it again as if to demonstrate how little his interest was in dealing with the persistent follower.
[Answer me properly, you b*tch! I was being nice and this is how you treat me? Fugly b*tch! You think you're all that?! F*ck you! I'll f*cking find where you are and f*ck you up big time you arrogant b*tch!]
Kwon Tae Yang was taken aback by the sudden change of attitude. ”F*cking... fugly b*tch?” He repeated the words with narrowed eyes. ”Ha!”
He sneered at his phone screen. ”Oh, so we're gonna go there, huh?”
He typed another reply: [Sir, please refrain from using profanities. If you continue to engage in such behaviours, our company will not hesitate to take legal actions against you.]
[F*ck you! Stupid b*tch thinks I'm scared? F*ck off your high horse b*tch you're nothing without people like me!!!]
”How immature,” the sunglasses-wearing man remarked. He did not bother replying to the man, simply taking screenshots of all the messages as evidence and sent it to several people; to the company's PR team, and to his real boss, Heo Woo Seung. They would know how to proceed, he thought.
Without spending another moment, he immediately reported and blocked the user.
With the threat now dealt with, the secretary-cum-bodyguard turned his focus back to the young actress who was in the middle of another scene.
Beautiful as always, he thought.
