[Title: The story of taking the driving school test with actor Lee Seo-jun.]

-Suddenly Lee Seo-jun

=22 I thought it was a normal review but

=33 This is worth taking a picture

=44 It’s the talk of the town. I would even tell this story when I travel abroad. I took the driving license test with Lee Seo-jun

-Lee Seo-jun: Oh, it’s a fire truck. (Moves aside)

(Fire truck passes by)

Lee Seo-jun: Then I’ll take the test again. (Still doesn’t have a license)

=Isn’t he too calm

=Going back to course D is too funny

-Lee Seo-jun already got his license!

-Articles are starting to come out.

=Do reporters search for ‘Lee Seo-jun’ every second Why are they so fast

=The fire department uploaded a video!

=Will this make the news?

***

[This afternoon, a fire broke out at a construction site…]

It was an ordinary news.

An ordinary news that reported a fire accident with zero deaths and three injuries.

But a small fire accident that would normally only be reported on the internet was being broadcasted on TV.

President Seo Eun-chan, who was discussing where to locate the new company, team leader Ahn Da-ho of team 2, who was in charge of actor Lee Seo-jun, and team leader of team 1, who was in charge of singers, lost their words at the news that came from team 2’s contact.

[Thanks to the cooperation of the drivers, the fire truck arrived at the scene on time. We thank the citizens for their cooperation. But we have some special news here. Let’s watch the video released by the fire department together.]

The video released by the fire department filled the TV screen.

With the sound of sirens, cars on the slightly congested road slowly moved aside.

It was an emotional scene by itself, but among the white, gray, and black cars, a yellow car stood out.

It seemed to catch the eyes of the firefighters in the driver’s seat and passenger seat, as they sighed.

“Wait. Why is that car here?”

The car that anyone who hadn’t heard the news today would have had a similar reaction.

-Shouldn’t they hit it and go?

=22 If they hit that car, it would push back other cars too?

-The beginner driver must have been really nervous

=The people in the next car too;;;

As if to elicit such a reaction, the video paused and marked the yellow driving school car with a red sign.

[There is a driving school car here. If this car didn’t move, it would have been difficult for the ambulance and fire truck to pass. But unlike a novice driver who hasn’t even got a license yet, the driver of this car shows skillful driving skills.]

The driving school car moved aside very naturally. 

Even compared to other cars, there was no hesitation in its movement. 

The firefighter’s voice of surprise was heard.

“Wait. So that car… has Seo-jun?”

Seo Eun-chan couldn’t take his eyes off the TV.

He thought he had heard that he was going to get his license soon, but his driving skills were not inferior to those who had been driving for years.

‘No, wait. That’s not what I should be surprised about.’

[The identity of this driver was revealed by eyewitness accounts posted on the internet. It was actor Lee Seo-jun, who was taking the road test for his driving license.]

Eyewitness accounts and photos taken by Seo-jun, an ordinary person, and an instructor appeared on the TV screen.

-What? Lee Seo-jun?!

-Why is Seo-jun here??

-But Seo-jun is really not a beginner? Why is he driving so well?

=22 He’s really a beginner. He’s only been out of his teens for three months

=

…Is getting a driver’s license such a big deal?

‘How can my nephew make such a fuss just by taking a driver’s license test?’

They say that superstars make headlines every time they move, but this seemed like the god of headlines was paving a flower path for Seo-jun.

Team leader 1 also said incredulously.

“Last time he went to ski and filmed an entertainment show, and this time he took a driver’s license test and appeared on the news. Da-ho, what happened?”

“I heard he was taking the test today…”

Ahn Da-ho took out his phone and checked the situation.

He had left it to the discretion of team 2 staff unless it was a big deal because of the meeting, so he was a little late to get the information.

But he quickly grasped the situation with the materials organized by team 2 in chronological order.

“Seo-jun took a selfie after the test. That eyewitness account spread and made it to the news.”

Team 2 was also shocked when they first saw the eyewitness account. They thought, ‘No. How can you lie like this… It’s really Seo-jun?’ They wouldn’t have believed it if it wasn’t for the photo. Of course, they also called Seo-jun to confirm.

Since it wasn’t bad news, team 2 only dealt with rumors that tried to spread to other things like shooting or hidden camera.

The three decided to take a break and check out people’s reactions.

-Firefighter: (Sees driving school car/shocked) Why is that car here? (Please move aside)

(Driving school car moves aside naturally)

Firefighter: ???

(Turns out it’s Lee Seo-jun)

Fire department: ???

-But if Lee Seo-jun’s car scratched my car, wouldn’t it be a story for life?

=22 It would be a big deal if it was a traffic accident, but this is something that happened while moving aside for a fire truck

=33 If it was Seo-jun, he would have apologized and taken a photo and signed it too…!

=44 I would still get it repaired but cut off the scratched part and keep itBragging possible

=55 What?! You got scratched by Lee Seo-jun’s car?!

=Why are you bragging

-Seeing Jin, who used to wait for help in one step, grow up and give help makes me cry

=22 Lee Seo-jun who goes back and forth between reality and fiction

=33 At this rate, someone might think that one step was real.

-Now that he has a license, will he film a chase scene

=22 Chase scene sounds fun.

=33 Do it with Hollywood scale! Pour in capital!

=44 Boom boom explode!

Looking at the comments, Ahn Da-ho had a feeling that he would receive some works related to cars or chase scenes for a while.

****

The three decided to resume the meeting after taking a break as their concentration dropped. Seo Eun-chan asked as he stretched lightly.

“We heard about Seo-jun,”

That too from the news.

The scale of delivering the news was so big that he was speechless, but Seo Eun-chan continued.

“How about the singers? Team leader 1.”

The team leader 1, who was relaxing his body and turning his stiff neck, opened his mouth.

“The Bubble kids are resting again after Beom, and the Bluemoon kids are going to perform at festivals after resting. It’s spring, so they get invited everywhere.”

Spring had its flowers, summer had its sea, and autumn had its college festivals. 

There were many events that each season brought.

It was time for idols to start moving busily, as events were an important source of income for them.

“We also have to make a comeback.”

Seo Eunchan, who was nodding at the team leader’s words, suddenly remembered something and opened his mouth.

“By the way, isn’t today the variety show filming? Is Eden okay? It must be hard to do variety shows when you’re busy…”

Park Eden of Bluemoon, who was cast in a new variety show of KBC.

The team leader smiled reassuringly and answered.

“We have considered the schedule, so there is no problem. Besides, the format of this variety show is not something that can be used for a long time, so we plan to do it for only two months.”

If Bluemoon had more experience, they would have chosen a longer-lasting variety show, but since they were in their peak period where they had to run around every day, it was difficult to appear in a fixed weekly variety show.

Seo Eunchan and Ahn Da-ho nodded their heads.

“It’s better than leaving in the middle because of work.”

Besides, since the broadcasting station was KBC, they could raise their recognition quite a bit even if they broadcasted for only two months.

Thanks to [Bluemoon], which Seo-jun participated in last year, the group became well-known (worldwide), but it was hard for ordinary people who were not idol fans to know each member of Bluemoon.

The team leader, who had a plan to introduce each member of Bluemoon to the general public step by step, said.

“The production team seems to know that too, so I think they won’t change it to a seasonal format even if it becomes popular.”

Seo Eunchan, who was listening to the team leader’s words, tilted his head and asked.

“But didn’t you say that Eden is taking cooking classes these days? What’s that about?”

Ah.

The team leader smiled bitterly.

“The kids don’t eat.”

***

A night with moonlight.

Four people with slumped shoulders sat at a dining table with a small light on. 

They looked like villains who had failed their mission and returned.

“I learned a special sauce from the cooking teacher…”

Park Eden of Bluemoon ate a bite of the sauce with a gloomy face.

It was delicious as always.

“My mom’s secret recipe is delicious… She said that when I was young, I would stop crying as soon as I ate this.”

Rising star, actress Jung Na-hee, lost her appetite as she looked at the remaining food.

She would have to reheat it and eat it later.

“My daughter never leaves my mom’s side when this comes out. Did I miss something?”

Movie actor Heo Un-sung, who was cast as an important supporting character in any movie, flipped through his wife’s handwritten recipe.

“I practiced with the most famous and popular recipes for kids on YouTube…”

Ballad singer Kim Ja-young sighed as she put the crumpled papers on the table.

A heavy silence fell over the table where four people were sitting together. 

The production team that was filming them also couldn’t brighten their faces.

“…Did we fail?”

“Not yet. But we might fail when it airs.”

The PD Kang Soo-jung sighed deeply as she recalled the first broadcast that was coming up next week.

KBC’s new variety show, [Chick Class in the Forest].

A new variety show that was created to welcome the spring when sprouts sprout and flowers bloom. 

As the title suggests, it was a program that used kindergarten as a motif.

At the beginning of the year, they arranged the programs by removing some broadcasts that had been canceled in the middle and postponing some broadcasts that had become issues. 

They had about two months of empty time.

But they couldn’t just put anything in because it was too good a time slot for broadcasting at 9 p.m. on Saturday. KBC decided to put [Chick Class in the Forest].

Usually, variety shows maintain their lifespan by having celebrities who want to promote their dramas, movies, or albums as guests. But [Chick Class in the Forest], which had children as its main guests, was not going to last long but seemed to be able to attract some viewers with their cuteness.

That didn’t mean they treated it as a filler program either.

First of all, they secured a lot of production costs by having PPL products for children (from toys to children’s dishes, spoons, and eco-friendly products and appliances) that couldn’t come out in variety shows that were mainly for adults.

‘The cast is good too.’

Some PDs from KBC’s entertainment department contacted PD Kang Soo-jung when they saw the cast.

“If we do well in the ratings, the broadcast that will follow us will benefit from the reflection.”

The writer said, and PD Kang Soo-jung tapped her forehead.

“But the kids don’t eat.”

Last week, on the first day of filming.

Seven children of different ages came to film [Chick Class in the Forest].

The production team was careful to choose the cast, as they were not celebrities’ families who were familiar with broadcasting, but ordinary people.

They checked if they had any troublemaker parents, if they had any children who would have a hard time being away from their parents for a day and a night, or if they had any serious allergies or illnesses.

They planned to bring a pediatrician with them for filming, but they still needed to be careful because the filming location was a bit far from the hospital.

They thought they had casted children with strong characters well, when suddenly.

There were children who didn’t eat the food that Park Eden and three other cast members made.

They wondered if there was something wrong, asked the pediatrician, and contacted the parents, but it was nothing but ‘picky eating’.

-My child doesn’t eat well.

-He doesn’t have any favorite food.

-But he eats meat better than vegetables.

-He will eat a little if he is hungry.

The parents seemed to have given up on how much their children didn’t eat at home.

‘…Then you shouldn’t have let them appear…’

But they couldn’t give up as much as the production team.

“No. If four out of seven kids don’t eat, isn’t that a failure? People usually watch kids eating with pleasure.”

The production team wanted to show one of the scenes they wanted to show in this [Chick Class in the Forest], where the cast members cooked with sincerity and the children looked at the wonderful food with sparkling eyes, stuffed their mouths full, and chewed their cheeks happily.

“That’s true. We failed.”

The four cast members who were worried about the children not eating came up with their own solutions and showed them today, the second day of filming.

If only the children would eat deliciously, there would be no more beautiful and touching picture than that.

‘We failed that too.’

While PD Kang Soo-jung and the production team were racking their brains over what to do next, the filming continued.

The time when all the children fell asleep.

Four people who looked like villains planning a terrible thing with a weak light on talked to each other. 

The youngest man among them raised both arms on the table and snapped his fingers.

He pointed his fingers with snap-on fingers at his chin and opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“Then… let’s use the last resort.”

The other three people nodded their heads with a slightly tense face at his serious voice.

Bang!

Seo-jun blinked his eyes as he saw the message.

-Park Eden: Help me
