Chapter 104 < Year-end Awards Ceremony >

-Will Yoo Yeon Seo attend the SBS Drama Awards?

└Maybe she will this time

└She’s been going to a lot of award shows lately

└That’s because those are film festivals or Baeksang, she never goes to the SBS ones

└But why doesn’t she go to SBS? Didn’t she do two or three dramas on public broadcast before?

└└Would you go if you were her, after all the crap they pulled?Visjt novelbin(.)com for new updates

└└└What happened? I really don’t know

He probably would have skipped it if he were the original. He would have said there was no point in going to greet strangers when he had no chance of winning.

-What happened with Yoo Yeon Seo was

Back in 2015, when she debuted as an actress, it was okay for her to be a bad actor since she was a rookie, right? Her image wasn’t that bad back thenᄋᄋ

But in 2016, when One Seven made a comeback, the arrows that she had shot at Yoo Yeon Seo came back to her, and her acting didn’t improve, but she got cast in various roles thanks to her connections, so she accumulated a lot of anti-fansᄋᄋ And then, coincidentally, it was the time when a lot of actors of similar age and experience were active, so they competed fiercely and the whole world cursed at Yoo Yeon Seo

Anyway, at that time, she got nominated for the Excellence Award at either KBS or MBC, I don’t remember, and it was a huge mess. The whole community was outraged and even offline, people were asking why she was nominated and whatnot

└It was horrible, seriouslyᅲᅲ

└It was really bad back then, but I don’t think Yoo Yeon Seo cared, did she?

└But can’t they change the title? It sounds like they’re bringing up old wounds;;

└Coincidentally??? What kind of wording is thatᄉᄇ My actor was very active in 2016, are you blaming him?

└Honestly, it’s ridiculous now. It’s not like they invited her, why are they complaining and saying they’ll boycott if she comesᄏᄏ

└└Didn’t the broadcast station also use this to get attention?

└└└Didn’t she lose all her ads back then? The station apologized right away after causing the controversyᄏᄏ And after that, they didn’t nominate Yoo Yeon Seo much and didn’t write any promotional articles either

└And she spent her own money to debut a bunch of rookies, but they were ungratefulᄏᄏ

└└Hey, be honestᄏᄏ She blocked them from going anywhere else

└└└Anyway, it’s a fact that she gave them a chance, right?

The controversy that started with ‘She has such a powerful background, they’ll give her the award for sure. If Yoo Yeon Seo attends the Drama Awards, she’ll get the Excellence Award’ grew explosively.

Even though she didn’t say she was going, people were saying things like ‘Excellence Award? Are you kidding me? How much money did she spend?’ ‘How can she come with that acting?’ ‘If she has any conscience, she should stay away’ and so on.

The controversy would have died down if it were someone else, but it got worse because it was Yoo Yeon Seo. And the atmosphere at that time was still that it was okay to bash celebrities.

And Yoo Yeon Seo’s fan club, Love Letter, would bring up this issue every year-end awards season and bond over their anger at the people who cursed at her back then. And the hate comments that were left at that time were also caught by Chairman Yoo’s radar and paid the price for messing with him.

‘Did this happen?’

He didn’t remember feeling troubled by this reaction, even though his memory synchronization was over 40%. It seemed that the real Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t care at all.

He probably thought that he would quit the entertainment industry and go to school and take over the company if he got bashed like this.

-How many awards do you think Evil Spirit will win?

It might be hard to get the Best Drama Award, but I think they’ll get most of the others

└First of all, Yoo Yeon Seo, Seo Hajun, and Min Da are nominated for the Becker Award

└Won’t Yoo Yeon Seo sweep the popularity awards?

└But isn’t Evil Spirit a bit too much? It’s weird that only Yoo Yeon Seo gets the top excellence award

└└Well... that’s because she acted well...^^?

-Why do you think Evil Spirit can’t win? The ratings and the buzz were good

└That’s true, but honestly, the drama itself wasn’t good enough to win the Best Drama Award, right?

└If the drama was bad, the ratings wouldn’t have been high

-I’m out, the awards season is back. See you next year ᄉᄀ

-Don’t fight and look at the red carpet photo of Yoo Yeon Seo

└She’s crazy

└She still can’t get used to the flash ᄀᄋᄋ

And at the end of the year, when they could rest at home, they had to go to the salon and dress up, and be a clap shuttle for hours, and if they didn’t respond to the congratulatory stage, that moment would be caught on camera and burn more than any other controversy.

That’s why many actors avoided the awards ceremony. They preferred cable and general service works that didn’t hold awards ceremonies, and thanks to that, there was a rumor that cable and general service works had good casting.

“Hello. It’s been a while, everyone.”

“Director. Writer.”

Choi Seong-moon, the director, and Lim Ye-na, the writer, had left behind their worn-out looks from work and had a neat appearance.

“Director, do you think you’ll win an award?”

“It would be nice. I’ve thought of my acceptance speech, you know?”

“Really?”

The whole Evil Spirit team laughed at the director’s nervous words. The other actors nearby looked at their warm atmosphere.

“No, you didn’t think of anything?”

“We don’t even know if we’ll win or not. And besides, this kind of place is meant to be watched for the fun of rambling unexpectedly.”

“Is that so? Hey, but saying you won’t win is too humble. You’ll all go home with your hands heavy, right?”

As Yoo Yeon-seo looked around, Seo Ha-joon’s ears were particularly red. Oh, you thought of something. And Hong Min-ah, who was smiling shyly... You too?

“Yeon-seo, hello.”

“Yes, hello.”

“I’m a fan.”

Among the people who participated in the awards ceremony, some didn’t just pass by the table of Evil Spirit. They blatantly stared at Yoo Yeon-seo, as if they were determined to stamp their eyes on him. Seeing that, Seo Ha-joon smiled mischievously.

“Hyung, by the way, congratulations on inheriting the company. That’s something to celebrate, right?”

“It’s not done yet. And inheriting... It’s still a long way off.”

“Hey, if they’re not blocking the articles, it’s confirmed, right?”

He looked naive, but he had been an idol for more than five years. Seo Ha-joon’s eyes sparkled as he nodded his head vaguely.

“Then are you going to the company all the time? You’re a director, right?”

“No, there are a lot of people who don’t go to the company. And if someone like me goes to the company all the time, the other employees will feel uncomfortable.”

“Oh, I see. That’s amazing. Doing both things.”

“If you think about it, you’re doing both things too.”

“That’s the same entertainment industry, right?”

“I’m in a similar situation, if you think about it.”

Seo Hajun, who juggled idol and actor activities, and Yoo Yeon Seo, who held a position in a company related to the industry and also acted, were not much different.

The interesting thing was, as soon as he inherited a stake in JSENM and the news of his appointment as an internal director came out, places related to Ajin Daily leaked controversies about illegal gifts, parachute appointments, and Yoo Yeon Seo’s retirement rumors.

‘I guess he doesn’t have a scratch on his mental.’

Of course, Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t care. Rather, it had the opposite effect of losing Juseong’s ads from Ajin Daily.

[Yeah, that company is a good choice. You know that side of the business well...]

Chairman Yoo welcomed him with both hands, no matter what company he inherited, as long as he erased the shadow of Lee Heeseo. Yoo Geonmin felt a pang of regret.

“So, have you settled in now?”

“Yes. I did a photo shoot yesterday.”

The introverted attention seeker, Seo Hajun, had done three personal ads since ‘Evil Spirit’. His group, NV, also filled up their lacking domestic recognition. He flashed a V sign with his fingers confidently, but suddenly became gloomy.

“But I don’t think I’ll be able to renew my contract.”

“Why?”

“There’s the military issue, and... I guess the hyungs want to start fresh somewhere else.”

His first goal was to make his name known, but he still had affection for the group. Seo Hajun’s efforts to promote the group’s name through ‘Evil Spirit’ went down the drain.

‘Come to think of it, One Seven will be gone soon too.’

Yoon Yuchan, the leader of One Seven, and Lee Hangeul, who had worked together in ‘Baekhoham’, had recently enlisted. The others would probably go soon too. One Seven, who would be 10 years old next year, was looking for another company instead of renewing their contract with AST Enter.

While he was thinking about something else, a video that briefly introduced the works of the year 2020 ended, and the awards ceremony began with the MC’s greeting.
