21 – What’s Next (5)

“No, you want me to play the role of Jin Deok-chun?”

Junyoung Baek urgently asked me.

“Yes! You read the script, right? While reading, didn’t you think that you are the most suitable person for Teacher Jin Deok-chun?”

“Not at all?”

He gave an immediate answer without even thinking about it.

But that’s it.

“Oh. Then, from now on, you can do your best to fit the role.”

“???”

What if I keep complaining that it’s not me?

I have already decided in my head that you are the most suitable person for the role of Jin Deok-chun.

“Honestly, when a lot of JYB idols appear, it would be disappointing if the CEO was left out.”

“Hmm. Right, right.”

“I understand. It might be a bit difficult because it’s my first time acting, but I don’t ask for perfect acting from the idols and the CEO.”

“I’m glad. Rather than that, the first acting in my life was in the work of the 927 writer… Will this be fun already?”

“First of all, I…… Hmm?”

Junyoung Baek, who had been listening to me all along, suddenly made an excited expression.

What is it?

The reaction is very different from before?

It seemed that he was more positive about taking on the role of Jin Deok-chun than he thought.

I carefully whispered to my PD-nim.

“Me, PD. Why is he so positive?”

“I heard rumors that I am a big fan of the author. Maybe the writer came to me and asked me to take on the role, so I was happy inside.”

“Oh, really? But where did the rumor come from, are you so sure?”

“Oh, I didn’t tell you beforehand. I heard about it while having a meeting with the head of JYB Entertainment’s 1st headquarters.”

Well, that’s right.

I’m pretty sure it’s the words of someone who is also CEO Baek Joon-young’s manager.

Then the story was simple.

“CEO Baek Joon-young. Then can I assume that I agree with the casting thing?”

“Sure! From my point of view, there is no single reason to refuse.”

“Okay. Then let’s talk about the next step.”

“The next step already?”

“Yes. I’m a little short on time to fit into my schedule. I will probably be very busy for a while.”

If everything goes according to plan, I and CEO Baek Joon-young will probably roll the hardest until Fly High officially airs.

Perhaps CEO Baek Joon-young in front of me… Um, maybe even more trouble?

“It’s okay. Choice 30 also ended recently, and being busy rather than being idle suits my constitution.”

hahahaha…… You see.

Then I sincerely hope that the thought will last for a long time.

The next day.

When I visited the representative office again, CEO Baek Joon-young handed me a file.

“Writer. As you requested, the file contains rough profile information of the children in our agency.”

“I know there are a lot of people in JYB, but it only took one day?”

“Everyone went through me at least once in the course of guiding, so I know the general personality and disposition.”

“Could it be all of them?”

“Yes. Still, the name is the representative of the agency, so it’s natural.”

I don’t think it’s obvious.

You seem to have a lot of affection for the idols of your agency.

“But can you decide on a role based on just that amount of information?”

At that time, CEO Baek Joon-young asked with a worried expression.

“You can’t even have a busy idol audition for acting, can you? So, you have to go as emotionally as possible. First of all, I plan to reflect the CEO’s opinion the most.”

For the filming of Fly High, JYB will cast a total of 5 people in the lead role.

Since it is the number including CEO Baek Joon-young in front of us, it means that we only need to find 4 more people.

“First of all, we decide who to entrust ‘Minjae’ to.”

“Wait a minute. Shouldn’t we pick the main character of this drama, ‘Bomi’ first?”

“Ah, the person who will play the role of Bomi was already decided from the time this drama was formed.”

“Who are you by any chance? To play the role of Bomi, she must be very good at singing.”

“Don’t worry about that part. Soyoung will do well enough.”

“Mr. Soyoung… ? Perhaps this time, the woman who played the female lead in Welcome Café Violet… ?”

I nodded at his question.

“Yes. But I can definitely sing well, but I can’t guarantee my dancing skills like the setting of Bomi’s role. So, I hope CEO Baek Joon-young coaches well by So-young’s side…… “

“After the author of 927, are you teaching Seol So-young this time? Is this a real story? Baek Joon-young is crazy…….”

Um. I wish I could coach you well, but I can’t bear to get involved in that self-talk filled with anticipation.

“That… I’ll start right away.”

I opened the file and looked at the idol’s profile at the very top.

Age is 22 years old, and the group he belongs to is active active member Dash.

And the name…….

“Choi Won-seok?”

“Oh, Won-seok is really good at dancing. He has a good personality and personality, so he is popular among seniors and juniors.”

“Really? Then I’ll pass right away.”

“Eh?! What’s wrong with Wonseok!”

“That’s because the character Minjae is far from the image of a model student. So it doesn’t fit.”

CEO Baek Joon-young’s face seems to leave a lot of regret for my resolute choice.

Unfortunately, when it comes to dramas, I never compromise.

The next idol we looked at was Kang Ha-neul.

He is 22 years old, just like Wonseok Choi, and his group is Green Day.

The special thing is…… Do you have energy that brightens the surroundings?

“How is this person?”

“Sky? In a word, he is like a free spirit. However, because the MBTI is pole E, there are a lot of kids running around. It is also a bonus that JYB asks for the most vacation time.”

I think you see me as just a nuisance rather than a free spirit. Am I mistaken?

Anyway.

“Then how about your dancing skills?”

“To be objectively evaluated, he is close to the top among male idols. But it is definitely lower than the original stone.”

“Okay half confirmed. If there is no better person in the future, I will confirm the role of Minjae with this person.”

“…… In reality?”

hahahaha. Even if you make such a vain expression, I will never pick Choi Won-seok, CEO.

While listening to CEO Baek Joon-young’s additional explanation, I kept flipping through the files, and I saw a trainee’s profile that left a deep impression on me.

Just like the first time I saw her on her show called Choice 30, my gaze naturally fixed on the picture of her face.

“Certainly, our Dahye must be pretty.”

“Yes?”

At that time, CEO Baek Jun-yong suddenly uttered a strange sound.

I looked up and saw him grinning at me.

“What are you talking about?”

“Those who had been indifferent until now, whether they were active duty or trainees, changed their eyes 180 degrees when Dahye’s profile came out.”

…… No.

Did I really do that?

“hahahaha. I understand. When you see Dahye for the first time, you feel exactly that way.”

“Okay… Stop teasing me and tell me about trainee Lee Da-hye.”

“Dahyeyo? He and she are just natural idols. She dances well, sings well, and even has a pretty face. A perfect trinity.”

Simply put, are you just a scammer?

It is a perfect setting for the role of Ha Ji-won, the rival of the main character, Bomi.

“But since you only praised it so much, I rather want to hear more about the downside.”

“If I had to pick one, maybe it’s because he’s still young, so he’s very curious and a bit stubborn.”

Oh, then you’re more suited to supporting roles?

The moment I was thinking about this.

─Kyaaak!

A woman’s screams were heard from the doorway along with a crackling sound.

…… I still don’t know what it means to be stubborn.

“Ugh… ….”

I can roughly understand what you mean by being curious.

When I turned to the direction of the sound, Da-hye Lee was there for some reason.

By the way, I think it was X?

Where the hell did you hear that?

***

One hour before the start of the incident.

“Guys, did you hear that rumor? I heard that the representative has been meeting with a huge mogul recently?”

“A giant? Do you know who it is?”

“Since it’s a rumor, of course I don’t know. But seeing as you canceled all your schedules, it doesn’t really seem like a normal thing.”

It was when the members of Hongryeon were chatting while heading to the practice room.

“Is it Dahye?”

Hongryeon’s eldest sister and leader ‘Chaerin’ followed her and found Lee Da-hye, who suddenly stopped.

Chaerin asked her youngest daughter Lee Da-hye with a puzzled expression.

“What are you staring at so intently? Is there a guy over there that suits your taste?”

“Oh no!”

Lee Da-hye’s face instantly turned red at her eldest sister’s playful question.

The youngest member’s overreaction was cute, so the members next to him naturally smiled.

“Sister, what are you talking about? How firm is our ideal type Dahye?”

“Are you sure about your ideal type?”

“Yes. I heard that someone who is kind and does his best in his work is cool?”

“But if you are the ideal type and want to be Dahye’s boyfriend, shouldn’t you have to go through an interview with us first?”

“Oh, that is true.”

“Ugh… Everyone stop teasing me!”

In the end, Lee Da-hye exploded properly at the teasing of her sisters.

The members of Hongryun, as if they were used to the maknae’s outbursts, soothed her pouting and headed to the practice room.

Just.

For some reason today, Lee Da-hye made a lot of choreography mistakes.
