Chapter 59 (2/2)
For there to be fans ould roll up their sleeves and help out this much
”Yeah I'll try to set up a s if the drama is a hit”
”Once the broadcast starts, there will be a flow of 'light' fans, so we'll bring a food truck and coffee truck then”
”Although we're thankful, don't push yourselves too hard”
Soon, Seo Jijoon, who had finished talking with the director, walked this way His fans gathered around hiainst the haters, were ju up and doith flushed faces
It was rather Seo Jijoon who spread his ared them, held their hands, and it looked like he knew a few of their faces as he even called them their names The fans ere called by their names looked like their faces would burst
Seo Jijoon's great at fan service
His youngest-looking fan babbled,
”There is a poll about which dra for, and Cat Guardian Ghost is second right now, oppa! We posted it a lot on social athered a ton of votes!”
”We're second? Who's first?”
At his question, the fans showed a sad expression
”Merinal work is so strong!”
”We fought hard, but ere crushed, oppa”
I didn't knohere the poll was going on, but I decided to vote as well
”You must be tired because of all the fuss on the internet”
When his fans looked at hiue Then he looked at Lee Songha as he said,
”She's the one who should be tired There are still a lot of people who think she was cast as a set with me when, in fact, it was me who joined after she was already cast You should watch her act and spread the word around”
”Yes!”
His fans nodded their heads incessantly
After the short ha, once again, got into character and aiting I atching her when I kept hearing Lee Songha's name from somewhere
When I looked around, I saw Seo Jijoon's fans gathered in a circle, looking at so
”Wow Soto do?”
”This person looks like he has a grudge on Lee Songha”
When I took a few steps closer and looked, it see online When I took outI was also caught on ca in front of her
The picture was fine, but the coht
-Wow, did she go to the fil herself instead of practicing
-A genius doesn't need to do such things like practice
”These crazy…”
I intentionally spokeat their phones, became surprised and looked at me
”Ah, sorry I lost control for a second”
When I explained while showing theirl with a ponytail consoled me
”Ah, you saw it There are a lot of crazies on the internet”
”Since it's a battle of fando fandom”
”That's right Although there are a lot of people protecting her, it'sThere aren't a lot of fans who are grabbing the haters by their collars and talking back, saying, 'You're dead' That's why haters will start to gather”
When a few of them opened their mouths, a few more voices joined in
”But does Neptune have no fando popular”
”Although they have been gaining popularity because of Next K-Star, their solidarity is weak There are apparently Neptune fans who don't think well of Lee Songha If this continues and a fight between group fans and individual fans break out, it'll be hell”
Neptune fans don't think well of Lee Songha?
I had been happy thinking that they were gaining fans as Neptune's ranking in the Next K-Star viewer polls was slowly rising
”Is that true?”
When I asked seriously, a short-haired woman flinched as she replied,
”I heard a bit about it since I fangirl over another girl group on the side They see?”
”But it makes sense that they think that”
Other fans carefully added in,
”I saw all the episodes of Next K-Star out right now, and ets pointed out a lot more than other lossing over things”
”Why, you see it occasionally in other groups Members who don't care about team activities and are only concerned about their personal schedules She ht be branded as someone like them”
To call her a member who is only concerned about her own personal schedule and passingly does teaha When I thought that there could beat her with that opinion, I became so frustrated I was about to suffocate
On the other hand, I also thought that it was possible that those who only saw her through the TV could think that
Next K-Star was a program with 60-minute episodes, and there were dozens of celebrities appearing on it Although Lee Songha had more on-screen time compared to others, they only made up a fraction of the episode There was no way they could tell what kind of person Lee Songha was and how hard she tried with just that
”How frustrating She's practicing for her perfor”
When I ue, the fans said,
”But it's not noticeable”
”Since we don't know her circu the bait”
”To be honest, if we had decent bait, we could get the fandoht?”
”Bait?”
The girl with the ponytail replied,
”A video or a gif, so that could show 'she's a hard-worker'”
A bait that could show Lee Songha was a hard-worker, huh?
”I did record her practicing in the practice room a lot”
”That seems too much like a setup If the co to brainwash the public and will probably ”
”Have people uploaded any fan cams?”
They proactively began tapping their phones
”Not much Are there any broadcasts where all the ether?”
I looked back at my memories
”They appeared on a music broadcast on Knet, a public network music broadcast, Next K-Star, and they had a live broadcast on TBS's sharing can… Ah, they didn't appear on that”
When I thought back to that day, I reflexively frowned
The day of the sudden downpour
The day Lee Songha had been dancing on the wet stage before she fell and later recorded Next K-Star with an injured ankle What orse was that they only did a rehearsal, they didn't get to show their faces on the live broadcast Even when I thought about it again, it was ridiculous
”Uh”
A girl who had her face pressed against her phone tilted her head Then she showed me her screen
”Is it this?”
When I looked at the screen, it was the personal blog of a public officer
It see can as he had uploaded a brief post of what occurred that day and some pictures
There was also a video as well
The title was 'The girl group Webtoon who suffered in the rain'
Webtoon?
As soon as the video began to play, I heard heavily pouring rain Then I saw the girls dancing on the stage Their figures, which had become completely soaked in less than a h-resolution video
”What the hell? Why is the stage like that? There could be an accident”
When soered and fell Two or three people sucked in their breaths Lee Songha got right back up within a few seconds like a roly-poly toy before quickly resu her dance
The screen turned black once the video ended
The fans who had been staring at the screen, one by one, raised their heads and looked at me
The girl with the ponytail said,
”We found the bait”
