Chapter 11 (2/2)

My mom’s voice was filled with concern

My parents left our home in Seoul to my brother and went to the countryside as soon as I co in Seoul was too high and since ood, they decided to recuperate in the fresh air of the countryside

His health has recovered a lot these days and they work on a s

My brother as already in his forties was living ith his family and the quadruplets were already in their senior year of row quickly without constant supervision I wasn’t sure if it was because of this, but my parents would spend more attention on me nowadays

“Nah, I was late because of the welco at home? How’s father’s health?”

-We are doing well Hoork? Was it okay? You always said you wanted to do it, but do you really enjoy it?

“It’s really fun The people I ith are all good too”

Except one

-Yesterday, your aunts caether When we discussed that you orking with actors, all the kids were in a frenzy They kept asking for autographs

“…Really? But, I wasn’t assigned to an actor, but a singer A girl group”

-A girl group?

“They’re called Neptune; you probably haven’t heard of the you a picture”

-Okay If you have any troubles at work, tell your brother Okay?

He had already been of great help toWhen I was about to tell hercall, the subway train arrived

“Okay The subway’s here I’ll call you later”

I quickly hung up the phone and sat on the subway It was 7:30 right now… since the company wasn’t far from the subway station, I probably wouldn’t be late To not fall asleep and miss my stop, I tried to keep my eyes open

Should I listen to soirls wearing school unifor a fuss

“Hey hey hey, big news! Lee Yoolaht now”

“What is it? What kind of trouble?”

The two stuck their heads together and looked at the phone screen

“It says it’s a DUI Oh, my God It says she ith her non-celebrity boyfriend Wasn’t she the one who kept pro that she never had a boyfriend? Her male fans probably crumbled like cookies”

“Yeah, they were really pro for Next K-Star…”

“They were dropped out from that It says that Neptune will replace them?”

“Never heard of theuess the staff was really in a hurry”

I quickly checked the internet Looking at the co related to this issue was trending

Lemon Girls Lee Yoolam Lee Yoola I didn’t find Neptune though

Celebrity News articles only had provocative headlines

[Le the day with her civilian boyfriend?]

As I read starting fro

At first, the articles were focused on Yoolaes There were a bunch of articles that seemed to be copy-pasted that were posted afterwards

Cold water has been poured on Le in popularity in the entertaine public weekend entertained without detention when she was exposed driving under influence with her civilian boyfriend Her alcohol blood level was 0107 and her driver’s license was revoked…

The e nureed with the insults and cynical re her She had already become the focus of public mockery and branded as a wretch

Sparks even flew to Next K-Star

Netizens shot comments like ‘Did Next K-Star prouess we know the standard of cable TV,’ ‘Did you think a cri to be a ide Korean star?’ at the staff

The reporters reacted to these co to that audience

After these articles covered on the front page for a while, articles of Leram appeared Those articles started the same as the previous articles

However, the nuance changed in the middle

Meanwhile, Knet’s new prograrareat potential on various theroup ill becoeneration Kpop Star…

The article began with a provocative story focused on Lee Yoolaram The PR team of Knet had started to make their move

I could tell that their intentions were to quickly pull out of Le topic to proressively At the end, there even was an intervieith Producer Go Joontae

And I finally found Neptune’s name on there

Next K-Star’s Producer Go Joontae expressed his deep regrets about Leraht on the topic by saying, “After holding an eht, we have decided to fill the eroup known as Neptune,” and “Neptune was a group that was sadly cut from the final line-up They have a lot of potential and appeal, so we believe that they are a group that fits ith the objective of Next K-Star”

Also, Producer Go Joontae requested, “We sincerely apologize for the public criticisood out of this unfortunate event, we proree of perfection to meet our viewers’ expectations We hope that you atch over this with interest”
