Entertainment Life With A Camera

Chapter 180

How is Juyeong?

-Awi’s manager got married and Taewoong cameㅠㅠㅠ

I got this from a guest’s Instagram, but I’ll delete it if there’s any problemㅠ

└His long hair is so handsome

└How can he be so good at singingㅠㅠㅜㅠㅜ

Even before the wedding reception of Park Dongsoo and Seo Suryeon was over, photos and videos started to appear on the SNS of the guests.

-Today’s situation at Awi’s manager’s wedding.myt

Black Rush complete with Jo Taewoong’s return and Awi’s new song

└The song is awesome

└Wow, crazy

└But is Jo Taewoong really back? He just came for the wedding, right?

-It’s not Awi’s new song, but a special congratulatory song?

I heard from another video that Park Jinhyuk said it won’t be releasedㅇㅇ

└It won’t be released for real?

└Please release the songㅠㅠㅠ

└By the way, the manager must be really close to them to compose a new song for themㄷㄷ

Awi left the wedding after the ceremony and headed to the company for the recording of the next album.

“We haven’t done this in a long time, wasn’t it awesome?”

“Your ad-libs were crazy.”

The members smiled as they remembered the situation when they sang the congratulatory song.

“Someone uploaded the video of us singing the song.”

“They’re fast.”

“There were a lot of people filming.”

The members couldn’t take their eyes off the phone screen as they got out of the parking lot.

-Ian’s voice when he sang the first line was so holy

-They made a new song for the manager, he must have treated them really well

└The plaid manager was famous for being kind since the debut days, he took good care of themㅇㅇ

-It’s good to see Taewoong looking happyㅠㅠㅠSo when is the comeback? The comeback?

-I feel it, it’s coming, they’re going to make a comeback soon

-First of all, shut up, you have no sense

-Let’s not expect a comeback yet, he just came for the weddingㅇㅇ But I’m hoping><

On SNS, fans who saw the videos related to Awi’s wedding participation posted their comments. The explosive popularity made Awi’s related hashtags enter the real-time Top10.

When they reached the lobby and were in front of the elevator, Jo Taewoong said.

“How about we take a picture and post it?”

“Good idea. Gather around.”

There was no one to take the picture for them, so they had to fit all seven of them in a selfie camera.

Somehow, Ian became in charge of taking the group selfie. He stretched his arm and found his spot, and the others stood behind him and made finger hearts.

“Ah, I think I blinked. Let’s take it again.”

“Seodam, move your finger behind my head.”

“Tsk.”

It was hard to get the timing right with so many people. After a few tries, they managed to get a decent picture.

“It came out well. I’ll send it to the group chat. Do you want to write the fancafe post, Taewoong? There are a lot of people who are curious if we’re really making a comeback.”

“Didn’t Taewoong say not to tell anyone about his return?”

“Oh, right. It’s a secret.”

Jo Taewoong’s return and Awi’s team activity resumption were not officially announced yet. The company also minimized Awi’s exposure and planned to surprise the fans with a teaser image one day.

“But isn’t the wedding video and picture already everywhere? Isn’t the plan kind of ruined?”

“There’s nothing official yet. He said to keep it a secret, so we have to. If we cause trouble again, Dongsoo hyung will grab our necks.”

Jo Taewoong shrugged his shoulders and sighed. He had so many things he wanted to do after seeing the short stage at the wedding. He wanted to go on stage soon, he wanted to act, and he wanted to play with the fans on Y app.

“Just send it. I won’t post it.”

He had posted frequently on the fancafe since he came back to Seoul, but he hadn’t revealed his return yet. He wanted to tell the fans who waited for him first. Lee Juhyuk put his arm around Jo Taewoong’s shoulder.

“Huh?”

As he was about to send the picture to the group chat, his phone vibrated and the screen changed.

It was a call from Jo Minhwan, who had a brief acting collaboration with him in ‘Black Out’.

‘What does he want?’

They had occasionally contacted each other, but they only exchanged text messages, so this was almost the first time they talked on the phone.

“Ian is not here?”

“Go ahead. I’ll take the call.”

He sent the members first and stayed in the lobby to answer the call.

“Yes, Minhwan hyung. Long time no see.”

“Hey, Ian, long time no see.”

“How have you been? Did you finish filming the movie?”

“I finished filming a while ago. How about you? What have you been up to lately?”

Ian raised one eyebrow. He sensed a slight hint of ‘broadcasting tone’ in Jo Min-hwan’s words.

“I just came back from my manager hyung’s wedding.”

“Really? Congratulations!”

“Hyung, it’s too late to say that. The ceremony is over.”

He heard someone laughing on the other side of the phone.

‘Who is listening?’

[Maybe Jo Min-hwan is filming ‘Rural Life’ right now?]

‘Is that now?’

No wonder his speech was slightly different from usual. As expected, Jo Min-hwan got to the point.

“Ian, can you come to Gangwon-do?”

“Gangwon-do? Oh, hyung, you’re doing ‘Rural Life’, right?”

“Yeah, I’m filming it right now.”

“Really? Wow! Hello! This is Ian!”

Since he was on air, he had to match his pace. Ian shouted cheerfully, and there was a loud cheer from Jo Min-hwan’s side.

“How did you know I was filming this?”

“It was in the news. I’m more interested in you than you think, hyung.”

“Hey! Don’t lie. What are you talking about, you little…?”

Jo Min-hwan said that, but he sounded happy and laughed out loud. Ian also smiled.

“Do you know Hye-ji? She was in ‘The Hee-bin Jang Clan’ with you.”

“Hye-ji noona? Of course I know her.”

Lim Hye-ji was the actress who played the role of Queen In-hyun in ‘The Hee-bin Jang Clan’.

“She insisted that she had to invite you as a guest.”

“Me? Wow, does that mean I’m going to be on a variety show with PD Sung?”

“Of course, if you’re available.”

Jo Min-hwan was filming the second season of ‘Rural Life’.

It was a variety show that depicted the events that happened when four actors who were workaholics and had no sense of work and Jo Min-hwan, who had no vitality, were forced to move to the countryside. It was a program that had been talked about before the filming, because of the four actors who were somewhat sloppy and Jo Min-hwan, who became their servant.

The director was also Sung Dong-hak, a well-known PD in the variety show field.

[I have to do this.]

In the future, the second season with Jo Min-hwan would get an explosive response, and it would become a popular variety show that would last until the tenth season.

“Are you coming?”

“Well…”

He had to record the songs for the album. And since Jo Tae-woong’s comeback was still a secret, he couldn’t say that he was busy preparing for the activities.

“Come on, I know you don’t have any schedule. Can’t you just sleep for two days, or even one day, and go?”

“Hyung, I have a schedule too.”

Jin looked at Ian’s face with a lens as if he didn’t understand. Somehow, Jin’s size seemed a little smaller, but Ian didn’t care much.

“What about Joo-young? He’s our member.”

[Why? Can’t you adjust your album schedule?]

It was a good opportunity. But Ian thought it would be better for Kim Joo-young to go than him.

‘I have a lot of better opportunities in the future.’

‘Rural Life’ was a show where four actors who were workaholics and had no sense of work and Jo Min-hwan, who had no vitality, teamed up and created some funny scenes, but on the other hand, there were also negative voices saying that the cast members were too incompetent.

‘If I go there, I have to carry the work, but realistically, Kim Joo-young is better than me.’

What if Kim Joo-young, who was good at cooking, cleaning, and organizing, joined them?

The cast members were wasting the food they could eat in the field and couldn’t even eat properly, and the only phone they could search was confiscated, so they were in a state of despair.

How about a ray of light that appeared while the viewers were eating sweet potatoes?

Isn’t the picture good?

(Well, I’m not close to Joo-young…)

He wasn’t close, but he was Jo Min-hwan, who could make friends with anyone in a few hours. He sounded like he had to have Ian.

[Obviously, he asked someone to bring a handsome guy.]

‘Really?’

Lim Hye-ji smiled. Ian delivered a decisive blow.

“Joo-young is our group’s chef, hyung. He’s really amazing. He has a cooking certificate.”

(…Did you hear that, PD? He even has a cooking certificate.)

Jo Min-hwan smiled brightly and looked at PD Sung. He was also exhausted because he had no answer.

“He’s not only good at cooking, but he also has a barista certificate and he’s good at cleaning, so all of our members want to be roommates with Joo-young. He’ll do a great job if he goes, right?”

PD Sung Dong-hak, who was listening through the speakerphone, touched his chin and thought. He had asked him to bring Ian, who was popular, but an unexpected person came into the picture.

He was a bit disappointed that Ian couldn’t make it, but he didn’t expect the cast members to be so incompetent. Kim Joo-young was also a member of the same group as Ian, and he had a decent face, so he thought it wouldn’t be bad.

(Really…?)

“Bro, good looks are only pleasing to the eye. But Joo-young can please your eyes, your mouth, and your body.”

Jo Min-hwan flinched as if he was stabbed. How did he know what his senior actors had told him to bring a handsome guy?

Jo Min-hwan glanced at the director, Sung PD. Sung PD pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly. Jo Min-hwan’s expression brightened up as well. He was happy because he could finally get out of his slave-like life.

(Really? Then can I get his contact number?)

“I’ll talk to my manager and text you right away.”

(Good. Thank you so much. Do you have a fee? See you later.)

“Yes, hyung. See you soon.”

He was supposed to meet him at the upcoming awards ceremony.

As soon as Jo Min-hwan hung up, Ian put his phone in his pocket and headed to the basement practice room with light steps.

‘Where is Kim Joo-young? Is he in the practice room?’

‘Country Life’ was also a good opportunity for Kim Joo-young. A reliable variety show by Sung PD. It was a high-rated program, and if he hit the jackpot with a variety show, he would get more overseas fans than he could imagine.

Besides, Kim Joo-young was not bad at variety shows either. He would do well there.

“Oh, No-eul. What are you doing here?”

As Ian opened the door to the basement stairs and entered the hallway, he saw Lim No-eul sitting on the sofa in the lounge.

Ian tapped Lim No-eul’s shoulder lightly, and Lim No-eul jumped up in surprise.

“Oh, hyung. Hello.”

“Don’t get up. Sit down.”

Why so nervous? Come to think of it, he had treated Awi the same way when he was in Black Rush. Ian scratched the back of his head as he remembered that.

“Did you come right after the meal? Where are the others?”

“They’ll be here soon.”

Lim No-eul answered weakly, and his expression was not very good. His eyes were also red as if he had cried.

‘Oh dear.’

[Isn’t your mental too weak?]

What could he have to cry about when he was alone? It was probably because of the malicious comments or fabricated rumors that had been bothering him lately.

He couldn’t just ignore him when he saw him like that. Ian pretended not to know and asked.

“Did you cry?”
