Ch.39 Entertainment is Becoming a Daily Routine.
Me, PD Kim Young-jun, and PD Ahn Jin-su were gathered in the conference room discussing how to structure ‘MapDue’.
PD Kim, an entertainment expert, would be in charge of directing the daily life and missions of the producers, while PD Ahn Jin-su would be in charge of directing the stage and performance-related aspects.
With two famous PDs attached at once, the expectations, entertainment, no, dreams for this are big.
The production method is broadly divided into concept stages in 1st, 2nd, and final rounds, and naturally, there will be dropouts throughout the process.
This was a given for a survival audition program, so it wasn’t particularly worth discussing.
The topic we were currently discussing was who to additionally bring in as judges and trainers.
“Kim Sung-hee and Yu Son-jin are top-tier in dance and vocals, so we had them in mind from the start and have already secured them. But who should we add for the other two?”
“Hmm… Since we’ve got those two veterans, for the others, I’d like someone who has skills and is looked up to by idols, but around 30 years old—so somewhat young for a judge. That way, when we put them all together on screen, it won’t look too gloomy.”
For reference, PD Ahn is senior to PD Kim.
My Producers were busy trying to finish all settings by the start date of filming.
Everyone became busy because I pushed things urgently, but since everyone is capable, preparations are proceeding without issues.
“Leave the two to me.”
“Director?”
“Do you have people in mind?”
“Yes, if we need someone skilled who is idolized by idol trainees, then currently active idols with some experience would work.”
“Yes, so who…?”
“Let’s go with Shin Jae-hyun and Choi Yoon-jung.”
To me, Shin Jae-hyun is a hidden camera criminal, small dick, and someone who sacrificed his girlfriend. But objectively speaking, in terms of skills and experience, he’s someone idol trainees would look up to without any deficiency.
That’s why he’s still enjoying top-tier popularity.
Additionally, Choi Yoon-jung is a former member of a sexy concept girl group, but is now famous as a dancing machine who creates choreography and stages on her own.
She’s like a predecessor to Im Da-hyun.
Anyway, these two will become my chess pieces.
The final debut group will be selected through viewer votes and expert evaluations.
To control the expert evaluation to my taste, I need to place my minions among the experts.
I can’t even appear on MapDue and pretend to be an expert.
If I manipulate things from the outside through editing and concept play, my minions will work it out from the inside.
So my minion Shin Jae-hyun and his minion, or rather his pussy, Choi Yoon-jung, get the nod.
“Oh, those two would indeed be good in terms of composition. I’ll contact them right away…”
“No, I’ll do it personally. You two please focus on preparing for the filming.”
And then I left the conference room.

“Shin Jae-hyun, can you talk? You know about the survival show our broadcasting station is doing? I want you to appear as a judge and trainer.”
“…You mean MapDue? But why me…?”
“We’ll pay you well and the ratings are going to be huge. Why? Don’t you want to?”
“No, no! I’d love to, but why suddenly this opportunity…”
“In return, move and act as I tell you. Also, bring along Choi Yoon-jung who follows you around because she likes you. Actually, just date her. She’ll automatically say yes if you ask her out, won’t she? Leave Harang aside for now.”
Choi Yoon-jung is known by everyone at the broadcasting station as a huge fan of Shin Jae-hyun.
She’s three years older than Shin Jae-hyun and me, but she acts completely smitten around Shin Jae-hyun.
They’ve probably fucked a lot too.
However, Shin Jae-hyun seems to think of Choi Yoon-jung merely as a walking pussy, while Choi Yoon-jung has genuine feelings for him.
“…I broke up with Harang…”
“Oh, did you? No wonder when she was getting fucked by me…”
“But why sister Yoon-jung?”
Shin Jae-hyun cut off my words as his heart ached.
Well, since he lost Harang because of me, I’ll let this slide.
“She needs to be a judge with you too. When I give you orders, you need to persuade her well so that you both push the contestants I want. Understand? Oh, and don’t tell Choi Yoon-jung about me.”
“So that’s why you put in 30 percent for expert opinion…? Even though all audition programs have manipulation…”
“I’m about to contact Dispatch headquarters.”
“No, no! I’ll somehow convince sister Yoon-jung to join us!”
“Good, see you later. Work hard.”
“Yes!”
Great, excellent.
Shin Jae-hyun has become my faithful dog.
Even though he claims to have received all the hidden camera USBs back, the fear of backup files is clearly imprinted in his mind.
In fact, Kim Jin-sung is holding the backup files.
Anyway, if I fill half of the expert opinions with my chess pieces and edit the broadcast production as I want, I can somewhat control the outline of the debut group.
Of course, I don’t intend to do whatever I please. I’ll just follow my own judgment.
Main vocalist, sub-vocalist, center, main dancer, leader, etc…. I plan to create a good combination.
In fact, if we were to go with 100% viewer votes with no manipulation, the group composition would be a mess and the group would fail.
So what I’m trying to do is all for the greater good…
I returned to the director’s office.
I press the intercom and say,
“Secretary Shin! Coffee!”
“…..”
Hmm… No answer again.
Strangely, Secretary Shin has been like this since this morning.
We went to look at the company building together, and since it was previously used by some agency, the interior was already done so it seemed we could use it right away.
So things progressed smoothly, and I was happy to secure an office building for MapDue’s debut group, but Secretary Shin has been sulking all day and not speaking.
Plus, she looks haggard like she didn’t sleep, and her already pale skin looks even more pallid.
Is she sick? Is it her period?
But she’s never been like this before…
While I was working on a problem, Secretary Shin came in with coffee.
She placed the coffee cup on the desk with a slight, irritated click.
“Secretary Shin, are you sick? If you’re not feeling well, would you like to go home for today?”
“I’m fine.”
She said coldly, shaking her head.
I got it. She’s upset with me.
“Secretary Shin, do you have a problem with me? Just speak frankly between us.”
“? What do you mean ‘between us’? Aren’t we just director and secretary?”
“That’s true, but… Why are you talking like you’re hurt?”
“What? This is the kind of relationship you wanted, Director.”
“If it’s a relationship where you want to hit me, I’m a pacifist.”
“Hmph.”
I tried to lighten the mood with a joke, but Secretary Shin just snorted and left.
She even slammed the door shut as if to say ‘know that I’m angry.’
Is she daring me to fire her? I have no intention of firing her, but why is she acting like this? When she was stalking me saying she liked me, where was this attitude…
Women are a species that confuse men’s minds.
I don’t think I did anything particularly wrong… She wouldn’t suddenly act like this just because I rejected her confession.
I do have feelings for Secretary Shin, so it’s uncomfortable and weighing on my mind.
But I don’t know what to do right now, so I put it aside and called Sua.
-Hello…?
“Sua.”
-Ah, yes, Director!
“Director?”
-I mean, brother.
I guess she’s still not comfortable with me.
I lack friendliness, I should fix that today.
“Today’s the day Seria’s music show airs, right?”
-Ah, yes… I’m going to watch it with all the members!
“That’s too bad. I should have seen you when you came for the recording, but I was busy then.”
-No, it’s fine! We’ll come visit you next time!
“Sure, but… Ahem… I want to watch Sua performing on stage together at my place today?
-Ah…..
Sua’s voice trembled, having been anxious since she answered the phone.
For what was essentially sexual hospitality, I thought we had a good night, but I guess we’re still distant.
I need to close that distance.
“Thanks to whom is Seria able to appear on music shows, and even for the next week and the week after that?”
-Thanks to brother..
“Oh, and I also got you a spot on a variety show. Haven’t they contacted you yet?”
-Ah! I heard about that. It’s a show I’ve always wanted to be on… Thank you…
“Hmm… It sounds like too big of a favor to just hear thanks over the phone?”
-….But I promised to watch with the members…
“Sua, did you not understand what I said? I told you that you could watch with them next week and the week after that, didn’t I?”
-Ah… Then instead of coming in Manager Yoon’s car, I’ll come alone… I’ll have to make an excuse about personal matters…
“No. I’ll come pick you up, Sua. Your dorm is near the broadcasting station, right? Come out to Munhwa three-way intersection.”
-…..Yes…
It seems Sua wanted to share the joy with her members, hugging, but I spoiled that.
I guess a group like Seria getting to appear on Music In Us is a big deal, and I even pulled some strings to get them a lineup right before the popular groups.
She probably wanted to watch that with the members who worked hard and sweated with her.
But my desire to see Sua’s face was greater, so it couldn’t be helped.
The other three members are probably overjoyed thinking their dreams and passion are finally shining.
The truth is, it’s the virgin blood from between Sua’s thighs that’s shining.
To talk about a girl group I support like this, I really am trash.
I felt a bit bitter, but thinking about seeing Sua made me energetic again.
“Hehe….”
I left work laughing wickedly.
