Chapter 259 – Secretary Yu, Is There Something Strange About Your Expression?
The support of the group of about ten people continued on the plane.
Fortunately, Yoo Ga-hye was there to deal with the CEO on the plane, so I only had to check on the status of my kids and the Honey Girls.
Wow, one less person!
‘…Why did the CEO really follow me?’
By the time those complaints were getting louder, the plane had arrived in Jeju Island.
Perhaps because it is domestic, it arrives quickly.
And the fact that it arrived quickly…
“Secretary Yu, go and find out what I said. In the meantime, we will prepare to move.”
“I understand, CEO.”
“Manager Lee, where should we go?”
“Just go out toward exit 2.”
This means that I have to take charge of the CEO again and manage it.
“Oh right. Do you want to eat something before you go out? “I’m hungry.”
“If it were a restaurant, maybe…”
“What is there? “Look for it.”
This person is pushing two carts.
Do you not even have a cell phone?
‘I should have brought Baek Yena… Why on earth is it her grandfather’s ancestral rite…’
It’s strange, shouldn’t my body be a lot more comfortable after loading?
Why is this business trip so difficult and confusing from the beginning?
***
A few hours later, an interview room was set up near the concert hall.
“Secretary Yu, do you know what is most important for kids to get a lot of attention?”
While several idol groups, including Honey Girls and The Queens, were preparing to be interviewed in their respective seats, Isara asked in a relaxed voice.
“What is it?”
“That’s interest.”
“…”
I’m already so busy. What is this person talking about all of a sudden?
Yoo Ga-hye asked the representative that question with her eyes, and the representative smiled slightly when he saw those eyes.
“You really want to know what I mean, right?”
“…Well, yeah.”
“It’s not a strange story. Have you heard that money brings money? Same thing with that. If you’re getting a lot of attention, people will only look at you and that interest will keep coming. Secretary Yu, have you seen the drama that won first place in Amazonia this time?”
“No, I didn’t see it.”
“Oh my, if you’re a person in the entertainment industry, you have to watch hot movies even if you’re busy.”
I don’t have time to see someone because I’m so busy.
“I’m sorry… Anyway, what about that drama?”
“Oh, that drama. Just looking at it makes me wonder if this is going to be first place?”
“Yes.”
“But it’s a drama that won first place in Amazonia, a lot of people watch it, so… Strangely, I think it’s a drama that will win first place. It’s quite fun and the colors are very nice. “The reason I watched it in the first place was because I was curious because people were watching it.”
“Aha.”
“I think it will be fun because other people are watching it, and because everyone is interested, I strangely become interested… This is what interest is like. “You understand what I want to say, right?”
“Yes.”
After answering her question obediently, Yoo Ga-hye was about to go back to her work, but her Isara was staring at her blankly, so she stopped in her tracks.
‘Are we not finished talking yet?’
“…”
How could her subordinate ignore the look in her eyes that begged her to ask?
“…So, so? “I wonder why you said that…”
“Now Honey Girls will also make good use of it.”
“Buying attention with attention? “Honey Girls are getting very little attention right now, aren’t they?”
“Yeah, I haven’t been able to get the initial interest yet because of someone.”
“…”
You’re picking me again.
Yoo Ga-hye’s nasolabial folds appeared around her mouth by 1 mm.
“That’s why I came. “If I use what I have, it will generate initial interest.”
“Are you using it…?”
“A group that Dao Entertainment’s CEO Lee Sa-ra directly promotes, a group that she, who has not been a manager for a long time, is trying to see if she will be revived or not! “Isn’t this enough to spark interest?”
“Aha.”
It was just as Sarah said.
A group directly promoted by the CEO of a fairly successful entertainment company.
A group supported by Leesara, who was very active as a manager in the past.
This title is quite desirable.
This is especially true for reporters.
“This will attract attention in the interview…”
“In the following performance, we will show off the kids’ talents and really grab everyone’s attention. Then, more and more attention will be focused on our children.”
“It’s a good operation.”
Yoo Ga-hye admired her sincerity.
“It would have been nice if I didn’t have to come to the forefront like this. Ahaha.”
And that admiration was quickly thrown into her trash can.
‘You’re really giving it to me.’
“Oh good, the reporters are coming in just now. Now, I need to get ready.”
While the two were talking, reporters could be seen coming in groups from the entrance, as if they had been given permission to enter.
Because it was an event in which several groups participated and the interview location was set up like a job fair, the reporters quickly moved toward the group of interest.
‘Okay, okay, it’s coming this way. Wow. Of course it should be, who came out?’
CEO Lee Sa-ra smiled confidently as she looked at the reporters walking towards her from the side of Honey Girls.
So one, two…
Two.
Only two reporters sat in front of Honey Girls.
And numerous reporters sat down in front of the interview seats at The Queens located right next to them.
“…”
Isara blinks and freezes.
Yoo Ga-hye thought about why this happened and noticed one thing after thinking about it for a while.
“CEO, that Amazonia drama you just mentioned. What is the title?”
“…’On the black flower’.”
“Who was the main actor there?”
“…It was Shin So-ye.”
‘As the CEO said, interest generates interest.’
Her last words were Yoo Ga-hye, who somehow managed to get them into her mouth.

The performance held in Jeju Island this time was a festival-type performance in which various groups from various entertainment industries participated.
Why is it held in Jeju Island?
To create a more party atmosphere for both foreign and domestic fans by ‘making them have to hop on a plane and come here and have fun!’
The purpose of … Was just cosmetic, and it was because Jeju Island was sponsoring it.
‘I want to attract a lot of domestic and foreign tourists before the off-season begins!’
At the same time, the scale was set to be quite large, and as the entertainment industry and other organizations stepped in, the basic labor costs became very high as the scale was established.
So, for me, I came with the intention of promoting my children, taking care of basic expenses, and enjoying a vacation…
“Soye’s popularity is enormous.”
I had no idea that Soye would receive so much attention from reporters in an interview that started without much expectation.
Just a moment ago, I had to answer frantically amidst a barrage of questions and photos.
“The timing was good~”
“I know. “It was right after Black Flower aired.”
“Sister’s drama… It’s so popular… Really…”
“If this continues, we will receive a lot of attention for this performance.”
Thanks to the drama, there was a lot of interest, and while the interest was there, they also put on a performance.
Very good.
If we do this performance well, we will be able to start with maximum attention when we launch our next album.
“Sejin. “Is there any prize?”
“Huh? Award?”
“Huh. “The drama’s results are good, but the after-party wasn’t done properly.”
Originally, after this performance, I was planning to take a night off and do various things.
The timing was a bit vague, so I tried to combine it with a congratulatory message after the performance and an after-party to say the filming was successful.
But it flew away.
“Ahaha, don’t make that face. “I know very well.”
Soye smiled at me and glanced towards the Honey Girls.
“Even Sejin couldn’t help the fact that the CEO suddenly joined in.”
“Ugh… Thank you.”
“No, I’m sorry. “Even though you knew the situation, you kept pestering me like this.”
That’s what the human mind is like.
Even if you know all the circumstances, you can still be upset, and even if you know there is nothing you can do about it, you may end up pestering it for no reason.
Soye, Haeun, and Minji are like that.
“That’s why I can’t forgive them.”
“Huh? “What did you just say?”
“No~ I’d like to rehearse one more time before the performance. Is that okay?”
The motivation to perform is enormous.
It’s not good to rehearse a lot for no reason, but if you have this much motivation, it will be helpful.
Ha-eun looked at So-ye to see if her motivation was high, and Ha-eun also nodded her head.
“Yes, it would be good to practice one more time.”
Okay, so lastly, Minji…
“Minji.”
“Yeshe?”
He was having fun on his phone, and when I saw him react in surprise when I called him, it seemed the same as usual.
Even if I’m not active, I can do everything I’m asked to do.
Then there will be no problem in matching the tempo with the sisters.
“I’ll find out and come back. Hang on.”
***
Some time later, near the stage.
“Secretary Yu, do you know how to use reporters well?”
When Lee Sa-ra asked again in a relaxed voice, Yoo Ga-hye immediately shook her head.
“Which way?”
“That’s what reporters who are secretly spying on also use. “I use the paparazzi, I use people who want to write bad news, and no matter what I do, I read their intentions in advance and bring them into my game.”
I explained it in an abstract and grandiose way, but it’s just noise marketing, and I know that well.
I wanted to say… But it was obvious that even if I said I knew, I would have to explain it anyway.
Yoo Ga-hye just nodded her head without saying a word.
“I guess that’s why you wanted to rehearse one more time.”
“Huh. “If you intentionally allow a glimpse of our kids, who have improved their skills, rehearsing, it’s easy for them to be covered in the news just because, ‘I wouldn’t have seen it before, but I finally saw it.’”
“That’s a good idea.”
After saying that, Isara watched the Honey Girls sit on stage and practice.
And she also saw The Queens rehearsing right next to her.
“…But didn’t The Queens have plans to rehearse now?”
“I guess they said they would practice one more time before the performance.”
“Why are you doing something unplanned, this manager?”
Isara grumbled for a moment and then gave an order to Yoo Ga-hye.
“Tell the Honey Girls to stop and come down. “There’s nothing good about wasting your energy before a performance.”
“What about the news coverage operation you just mentioned?”
“Look at the people around you. Everyone is just watching The Queens. “This operation is a failure.”
Hearing Lee Sa-ra’s words, the corners of Yoo Ga-hye’s mouth went up slightly without realizing it.
Look, you also lost twice in a row, right?
Aren’t I the only one who lost to Lee Se-jin and The Queens?
Now you know that it’s not that I couldn’t do it, right?
“…Secretary Yu, is there something strange about your expression? Should I say that he looks happy…”
“No no no, that can’t be possible.”
“Hehe, just in case, I didn’t lose. It’s just wise not to attack when the other person has the advantage. “You know how to take two steps forward, one step back?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“…Secretary Yu, your voice is strangely excited…”
“It’s absolutely not like that.”
