Star Search Star Search

It was an unfah I had met, directly and indirectly, with hundreds of reporters during h there were dozens of naory on my phone, I had never heard of a publication called Star Search

A scandal involving a top actor like Yoon Taekyung or Park Dojin, and it wasn't so scandal For a se scandal like that?

Just in case, I indirectly asked Tea if there were any ru or Park Dojin, but there weren't any that would deal a blow to their is either

That meant that Star Search exclusively collected and published this scandal

I suppressed my questions and first searched Star Search on a portal site I should at least know their address before taking anycrazy if I just blindly entered their office and interrogated them

I needed to think hard if I wanted to co furiously was enjoyable corasp at

But so eird

No matter how much I searched, there wasn't a publication known as Star Search It was the saory A publication known as Star Search wasn't even registered

Did I mishear the company name? No, that wasn't possible

Then asn't it there?

”Team leader, have you heard of a publication known as Star Search?”

I asked Teaave me a surprised looked

”Star Search? What about that damn publication? Where did you hear about them?”

Her reaction assured me Fortunately, it wasn't a non-existent company

”I heard about them from a reporter I know, but I couldn't find thele article from them on the portal site either”

”Of course, they aren't on a national portal site They are a publication specializing in paparazzi in Hong Kong”

What? Where?

”Hong Kong?”

”Yeah Well, it is time for you to be concerned about overseas publications since Songha's getting more known in China, so be more careful from now on That place is much more cutthroat than here They publish articles that we can't here in fear of lawsuits without worry Especially Hong Kong, it's worse than Hollywood”

Wait, wait Let me think for a second

If Star Search was a publication in Hong Kong, how could I approach theht now, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to communicate with them There were tons of publications in the country, yet why did have to be one in Hong Kong?

Team Leader Park frowned as she continued to speak,

”Star Search especially doesn't like Korean stars verythem Those leeches Of course, the more vicious leeches are the tabloids in this country that sell information and pictures to them”

My ears perked at her words

”Tabloids in our country sell infor around?”

”Whilein the paparazzi, they usually buy the Korean stars in the country are sent from here You see, there's a lowlife company that deals with Star Search”

I immediately asked,

”Where is it?”

DM Media

When I searched up the naistered publication popped up

On their hoe, which had multiple adult ads, there wasn't even the common interview article All they had were entertain celebrity photos, and provocative tabloid articles that only used initials

I looked around for a long time before I found their address Deumcheon district It wasn't that far

Before I left, I went to find Kim Hyunjo and told him,

”Chief, I'o meet with a reporter”

”A reporter? What reporter all of a sudden? Are you doing an interview?”

”No, I heard that there was a bad news item I wanted to check up on it since it seemed troublesome”

Kim Hyunjo's expression became sour

”Since it's you were talking about, it feels uneasy”

”Since it's not certain, I'll talk to you about it after I confirm it”

I stated a forany measures, especially since I wasn't certain which of the two caused the problem

Yoon Taekyung and Park Dojin were big shots whose contracts reached the billions of won, and Well-Made Production and Chinese investors were also entangled in this situation In other words, if I said so and a problem arose, it would be a very serious matter

”Okay, go check it Call Tea to it”

”Yes”

I handed Lee Songha's afternoon schedule to the recruit and immediately drove my minivan to DM Media's address

Hoping there would be an answer there

Geuhborhood, Geumcheon District Unit 301

The address was correct, yet I couldn't even the company, let alone an answer

There wasn't a sign outside the building, and unit 301 on the information panels in the first-floor lobby and elevator was empty

It was the sa that looked like an office, but there wasn't a sign and the door was firmly locked I couldn't even tell if there was someone inside or not There wasn't even a reaction when I knocked

Even when I called the phone nu with no one answering I tried sending an email to the email address, but even that was immediately returned At this point, I wondered if this even was a properly functioning publication

So this was a paparazzi company

How could I casuallytoup at the third-floor hich had its blinds down

Then I decided to change my method

I entered the building again This tilasses and revealedmyself as bait so that they would come to me since I couldn't find them

I hoped that I looked appetizing to the paparazzi

First, I went to the coffee chain on the first floor and ordered a cup of coffee

The enized me I had fled last time, but this time, I sat at a table Once I responded friendlily to a customer who acted familiar as he approached me, more people started conversations with me

Slowly, news began to spread throughout the building, to the point where people on other floors ca as planned If I kept at it, DM Media should hear about it too since they were a paparazzi company

After brooding over coffee for an hour, I went to the second-floor oriental medical clinic

My shoulders ached so it was a good opportunity I received acupuncture, cupping, and electrotherapy and saw black blood clots That was how I spent two hours in the building I hadn't even seen the shadow of a paparazzi yet

Just as I was thinking of another way to approach the It was an unfamiliar number

”hello?”

-ExcuseSunwoo?

It was an unfamiliar woman's voice She sounded a bit flustered

”Yes, that's me”

-You're the owner of the white htly by accident while parking

Oho? Was it this?

I left in the middle oflot A young wo the back of my minivan jolted up

She wore a short skirt that ehtly transparent coffee-colored stockings, and high heels She gave off a different feeling from the female reporters I had seen until now

She was suspicious
