“However, team leader”
Hyunjo tapped the table with his finger as he pondered
“Don’t you think that we’ll get criticized if we release articles too aggressively? Netizens these days are quick-witted and are able to tell if an article was sponsored by their agency or not”
“That’s e have to ressive”
“Was it Star Trend? Not long ago, I couldn’t read their one of their articles since it was plastered ords like successful debut, strong i star”
“I willthat We all know they flopped so it would have been e… The reporter’s intern probably wrote it”
Listening to the conversation, I started to connect the relationshi+p between the ement team, PR team and reporters
A er would hand over article-worthy materials to the PR teaive it to a close reporter to release a more sincerely written article
If the celebrity had enough following, that article would be copied exactly by other mass media outlets, in other words, Urakkai articles[1] If not, it would be buried without any replies
Just like Neptune’s articles that could only be found by searching through a search engine
“And Chief The afternoon interviee have scheduled today”
“The G-Today one?”
“Yes I think it’s best we tell theuys have endured a lot,’ excessively Wea celebrity be?’ and ‘Who in the world hasn’t endured a lot’”
“Then I guess we’ll just have to say that we’ll try our best”
“That’s probably the best Since they are going in as a replaceet criticized”
“Then let’s wait for the reactions of the first broadcast beforeforward…”
I didn’t knohen, but theEven theon their laptops They riting so on Word
I didn’t feel right just sitting there so I took out a new notebook and jotted down the words co out of Team Leader Park and Hyunjo’s mouths
“What do you think about asking Blackout to ram account? If the article headline contained both Blackout and Neptune, I think it will have quite the ”
“Let’s wait on that When we showed theroup, the reactions weren’t very good If soet attention, ht be branded as unlikeable Blackout fans are so intense”
“If we do that, the company will even receive complaints”
“That’s right Hundred percent right Hundred percent”
Tea her head suddenly asked
“But, Chief The Neptune girls have no personal probleht?”
“They don’t”
“If there is anything that can’t be revealed to the reporters, we have to know first What could have been stopped with a short-handled hoe will grow to so that can’t be stopped with a shovel[2]”
“They really don’t”
“No one with a boyfriend? The rapper froha”
Hyunjo was surprised
“Who’s the bastard, are you sure?”
“I’ you what I heard from their stylist You have to say I’ether with Neptune on Next K-Star Since they already have a fanbase, it’ll be bad if there’s a scandal We really can’t”
“I know that already I’ll keep a careful watch”
“Both of you should watch them with care as well”
Tea and me
“If a suspicious situation arises, we’ll tell you immediately”
“Yes”
I noted down some suspicious situations and underlined the words, ‘The bastard who raps in Punchline’, a few times If a nationwide emotional scandal pops up, the feh it had only been a day since I had ha, they were the still the first celebrities I was assigned to It was obvious I wasn’t going to look at the bastard who raps in Punchline favorably
“And…”
Rattle
As the door opened, a man I had never seen before popped his head in He had the friendly i next door
“Oh my, I’ent favor to ask Team Leader Park”
“What is it?”
“Our Chaeyoung is going to a preview tomorrow”
Chaeyoung? Did he ?
Although she was only in her mid-twenties, she was an actress who started out as a child actress and hasexperience under her belt Although she didn’t have the fa Dowon, she was still someone who’s name would always appear on the headlines of top articles Even her filraphy was robust
I went to see aas an innocent university student three times
Was this person Chaeyoung’s er?
The person who saved a nation in his past life wasn’t me, but this person
“She’s going to wear a Bal if you could write an article that says she wore it better than a model”
“Are you talking about that co to wear that? Chief Jo, you should have stopped her”
“Since there isn’t much time left until her contract renewal, could you please release an article Team Leader Park has a lot of reporters she has close ties with Please save me”
Teaerations
“It’s not a problem to release an article, but that dress really doesn’t suit her”
“I guess we’ll hear lots of insults like ‘her stylist is her anti-fan’ and ‘what’s her agency doing’ again”
