A blunt voice poured cold water over their hyun, did you not come to see the premiere with us before? It's not just a couple of scenes, he appears quite a lot”
”That's right His character is very impressionable too With Alive's box-office results, I bet his popularity will soar”

”Her acting is even more incredible Apparently, she filot into both characters so well They were completely different roles to boot It like she debuted as a child actress than an idol”
The staff gaped in adha held the ha looked beside her Na cheers quickly died down

An unknown actor sighed next to him

”It's all luck”
Lee Sunghyun said as if convinced

”No shi+t You would have done much better than him! I also-”
Just as the unknown actor put on airs, aa laptop and camera approached them and handed them his business card
”Excuse me Could I ask you a few questions?”
The unknown actor asked after checking his business card,
”Uhh… Are you a reporter?”
”I came here to cover this event, but I happened to overhear your conversation”
”Our conversation?”
The reporter took another step towards them
”Yes, it seems like you're close with Mr Nam Joyoon?”
”Mr Sunwoo! Wow, really! Holy! Wow, I can't even talk right now!”
”Please cal! Are you really blessed?”
”No”

Someone shouted with a snort Other employees were astonished
”They say it's the best yet”
”At this rate, they'll pass their 2-reat right no, I'm so speechless”

”He's definitely huht?”
”What would I be if not hu you pick be jackpots? With you, won't the company not need the A&R Team anymore? At this point, I think you could just pick Neptune's title track We'll just sit back and enjoy the ride!”
Laughter erupted in the crowd
It was a joke Meant for a laugh Even though I knew this, I felt like there were thorns in hts I had barely ed to suppressed burst forward Pretty Girls Chief Lee Taeshi+n The songwriter The song Ki it The song that could sweep away the potential proble around Neptune anddestined for success One no one else knew
”Why is it so loud here?”
A thorny voice suddenly cut through the co down the stairs
”Do you all have no work to do?”

The Team 2 Leader's voice held me by the back of ood care of Neptune? People have been talking”
”There's never a peaceful day I am aware of it”
”Really? I orried you threw theuy”

”That's not it Rather, I feel like you can't take your eyes offby the day”
The Teahed

It even included the part where Na
The Team 3 Leader read a part of the article out loud
