When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar

# 203

Pandemonium (3)

Naturally, today was ‘Girls’ first visit to the broadcasting station. Everything was amazing. With eyes full of curiosity, I wanted to see Senior Obin as well as Senior Obin’s waiting room.

The girls, who glanced inside without realizing it, saw Valentine in a colorful costume getting ready inside.

The girls also knew that the people who were sharing the waiting room with Obin were Valentines who were debuting on the same day as them.

However, even though they were rookies debuting together today, they were not all the same.

Unlike the girls that no one even knew existed, Valentine already had a significant number of fans. Ara Entertainment was a difficult place to become a trainee, and as if it was natural, fans followed the trainees who made their debut there.

Since they had already made their debut after going through fierce competition within the agency, singers who debuted at Ara Entertainment had a lot of pride in ‘debuting under Ara Entertainment’.

It was also true that he had skills.

However, although it would be nice if this pride ended only at the level of confidence, many people mistakenly thought that they had already become stars because they enjoyed considerable attention and popularity before their debut and were guaranteed a certain level of popularity afterward.

This was exactly the case with the Valentine members.

Moreover, they came as trainees when Ara Entertainment was fully established. Therefore, from the time of their debut, they received support for lodging in a luxury villa and maintenance expenses, which are difficult for trainees from other agencies to enjoy.

So, in terms of living, he was enjoying the same lifestyle as most singers.

Dahye, the youngest of the girls, unknowingly averted her eyes when she made eye contact with Valentine’s Yeri Han.

This was because Han Yeri’s eyes as she looked at the door were so cold.

‘Still, I should have said hello instead of avoiding eye contact… ugh…’

Da-hye said, ‘What should I do?’ It was time to look towards Yunji, the girls’ leader, with concern.

Yunji, who said she had come to say hello to Obin, was facing Valentine’s manager.

“I don’t have one right now.”

Valentine’s manager answered in an indifferent tone.

“Oh well, I’ll see you later!”

Yunji was taken aback for a moment, but she answered clearly as she had learned.

“What…”

Even when Valentine’s manager answered carelessly by telling her to take care of it, Yunji was not embarrassed and bowed her head. Afterwards, I told the members lined up in the back to go back.

Since it was their first time, the girls should have come with their manager to greet them, but the manager had gone to say hello to the producer of Song of Life.

As the girls closed the door and left, Yeri Han looked away from the door again and looked in the mirror.

“Noisy.”

It wasn’t that I didn’t like Da-hye, who I met. I wasn’t interested enough to even think about that. I just didn’t like how busy the waiting room became for a while.

“Who is it?”

A member of Valentine with pink hair who was using her cell phone next to Yeri Han asked as if she was talking to herself.

“Do you think they are debuting today? Those…….girls?”

“Girls? “Is that the girls’ name?”

“huh. “It will happen.”

The pink head frowned slightly at the manager’s answer.

“Eh…. You look very plain… Did you come from the countryside? “Where do you belong?”

The manager looked embarrassed at the pink haired question.

“Where was it…”

“My brother is the manager, what if I don’t know anything about that?”

The manager looked a little embarrassed when the pink-haired man scolded him, and then said as if he had remembered something.

“Comet! “It’s Comet Enter.”

“Comet Enter? “This is my first time hearing it.”

“It’s called Shinsaeng.”

“Ah, I guess my brother didn’t know. “Somehow~”

The manager, who had pink hair and was wrinkling his nose as he responded in a charming tone to the scolding he had just given, was embarrassed as he didn’t know which melody to dance to, but he couldn’t help but smile.

While Yeri Han had a quiet and sensitive personality, Pink Hair had a lively and capricious personality.

Neither of them had an easy personality to deal with. However, he lasted at Ara Entertainment for three years. Considering the managerial industry where job changes are frequent, it was an incredible amount of perseverance. As long as Valentine’s debut album did well, a promotion was also waiting. So the pink hair’s quirky personality felt like a charm.

At that time, there was another knock and the waiting room door opened.

“Oh!”

The manager, who was sitting comfortably with his back in his chair, suddenly stood up when he saw someone coming through the door.

“Are you here!”

The person he bowed down to greet was Jin Gook-seon, head of the strategic planning team at Ara Entertainment. The strategic planning team was a valuable team at Ara Entertainment, overseeing the planning team and even being involved in overall personnel affairs.

Director Jin Gook-seon could be said to be the most powerful person within Ara Entertainment.

The Valentine members who were preparing their respective stages also stood up and slightly bowed their heads.

When a singer from Ara Entertainment performs on the debut stage, it is customary for key staff, including Director Jin Gook-seon and heads of the planning team, to come.

At that time, Director Seo Jung-won entered the waiting room behind Director Chung-won Chung.

“Director Bo?!”

Manager Valentine stuttered without realizing it. Director Jin Kook-seon might not know, but it was really rare for Director Seo Jung-won to visit a broadcasting stage other than a concert.

Even the faces of the Valentine members, who seemed fearless, appeared tense.

Not surprisingly, the influence that Director Seo Joong-won had on the celebrities affiliated with Ara Entertainment was enormous. While some people, like Cha Eun-ho, made unexpected debuts thanks to the words of Director Seo Joong-won, there were others who were not able to appear on television outside of his eyes.

So even though Seo Kang-Jun acted like a tyrant with no visible presence, everyone was quiet. Director Seo Joong-won was actually like a king at Ara Entertainment.

Director Seo Jung-won smiled softly as he looked at the hardened people.

“I guess everyone was surprised that I came so suddenly? I’m sorry I couldn’t contact you in advance. “I’m afraid it will be too burdensome if I contact you.”

Of course, he was satisfied to see those who looked at him and stiffened.

It was always fun to play the role of king in front of people who trembled at his words. It was one of the reasons why he was obsessed with money and power.

“Oh no! “How did we get here…”

The manager answered frozen.

“In some way, you came out to encourage me.”

Manager Jin Guk-seon’s words were answered by the manager and Valentine members who expressed their gratitude.

“okay. “Did the rehearsals go well?”

“yes! “It’s my debut, but the producer praised me because I performed well on stage and a lot of fans came~”

Among the Valentine members, the one with pink hair who still has a nice touch responded cheerfully. Director Seo Joong-won looked at the Valentine members with a satisfied smile.

“haha. You may not be able to see the stage, but Director Jin will be watching, so do well on the main stage. “I’m very excited.”

“yes. thank you.”

Leader Yeri Han answered calmly.

“Guys, the general manager is here too, so we should take a picture. With the general manager and the manager…”

Valentine’s manager brightened the mood.

It was to post a photo on Ara Entertainment’s official account. It was a common occurrence for high-ranking executives, executives, and celebrities to take photos and post them. It was to show off how well they were managing their celebrities.

“Where then…”

Director Seo Joong-won stood next to Director Jin Gook-seon.

“The manager is coming to the center…”

“Haha. “Isn’t today a day where these friends are the main characters?”

Director Seo Jung-won responded cheerfully to Director Jin Kook-seon’s words. The Valentine members went to the designated spot to take a group photo and stood there.

Valentine’s manager quickly opened the camera app on his phone and took a picture.

It was an hour before the live broadcast of ‘Life Song’ started.

***

Even though it was his debut performance, Valentine had the title of ‘Special Rookie’ and was scheduled to sing one and a half songs right before the first place candidate’s performance. It was super special treatment.

This was one of the reasons why fans from other fandoms scoffed at the special treatment given to celebrities under Ara Entertainment whenever they debuted.

However, it was able to clearly receive the spotlight and was clearly imprinted on the public. It was a choice worth risking a bit of ridicule.

Unlike Valentine’s Day, which was relatively leisurely because the stage was at the back, the girls’ waiting room was extremely busy an hour before the broadcast.

This was because it was the stage right after the opening. The time given to the girls was only about 2 minutes. The title song ‘Our Time’ had to be edited to fit the assigned stage time.

Debut stage. We had to work hard to imprint the name ‘Girls’ on viewers and leave a strong impression within a short period of time.

“you can do it! can do! “I can do it!”

“Ugh. I’m so nervous I feel like I’m going to throw up. “Is it okay to vomit on stage?”

“real? “Hey, go to the bathroom now and just throw up.”

“Guys. You guys are a girl group now. “Let’s not say such things out loud!”

The members nodded at leader Yunji’s words.

Of course, the representative, Jeong Hye-seong, was also present in the girls’ waiting room. The atmosphere was different from the visit of Director Seo Joong-won. CEO Jeong Hye-seong seemed like an uncle to the current members.

“Lose self-confidence. “Everyone, calm down!”

CEO Jeong Hye-seong, who said such things, was equally nervous.

“Wow… But the costume is really pretty.”

“Oh, I like it too.”

The members who all changed into stage costumes looked like ‘girls’. They wore blouses with lots of frills and hot pants or skirts that showed off their individual personalities.

The part where the ‘difference in money’ was most evident was in clothing.

The cheap stage costumes were noticeably lacking in detail. However, the stage costumes the girls currently wore were comparable to luxury goods.

This was because Do-wook specifically suggested the use of the investment, saying that it would be a good idea to use his investment money to improve the quality of not only the album but also the stage set costumes.

‘I guess this is where the difference begins…’

CEO Jeong Hye-seong had not thought about spending money on clothes. However, after investing money in costumes, the movements of the same choreography became more visible and looked more luxurious.

CEO Jeong Hye-seong realized once again that there was a need to invest clearly in idols where being seen was important.

It was time to go out on stage.

The members and staff gathered in a circle to shout fighting.

“There’s probably no one watching Life Songs to see you guys today. I have no interest or expectations from you. but.”

CEO Jeong Hye-seong spoke calmly and seriously.

“That’s why it’s a better opportunity. Let’s surprise them. uh? “Let’s show what kind of girls you are!”

“yes-!”

“yes!”

The girls shouted loudly at CEO Jeong Hye-seong’s words.

That time. Dowook was standing at the entrance to a casino in Las Vegas.
