In a world full of fake noses, a true drama that wraps an authentic nose in a military uniform is the very spirit of the era KBC wants to show. This is what license fees are worth.

“Ha... this is it....”
The atmosphere that had once burned as one during 〈Strange Tales〉 came flooding back, making her heart race.
The GIF of Yeoreum that Aetami had uploaded was still collecting likes without pause.

– What is this freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
– What the hell is this
– What is this... what the fuck is this
A masterpiece moment that seized attention in an instant.
Aetami was certain that anyone who saw the trailer would be hooked within a single second and begin counting down the days until 〈The Great Garland〉 aired.
“Now then, let’s see who else has fallen for our Yeoreum—.”
Humming to herself, Aetami searched Yeoreum’s name.
“...Huh? Other articles popped up too?”
Not just the 〈The Great Garland〉 trailer—there was more news.
* * *
〈Intern Academy of the Academy of the Academy〉 had completed its three-month run and successfully extended for six more weeks.
There was no one who objected to the fact that the driving force behind that unprecedented success was Han Yeoreum.
“Alright! Everyone worked hard!”
At a pork belly restaurant in Daehakro, the cast of 〈Intern Academy〉 held a modest farewell gathering.
Thanks to audience support, the play had extended once more—but Jin Jinju was no longer Han Yeoreum.
Because from here on, only bigger things awaited her.
“Our lead! Jin Jinju! Say a word before you go! Loud!”
“Yes! Hello! Your Jin Jin-ju! Han Yeoreum!”
The moment she stood, cheers erupted around her.
The actors who had once clashed with her on stage could no longer bring themselves to dislike her.
There are things you feel without needing to hear them said.
Everyone now knew that Han Yeoreum loved acting more than anyone else.
“I learned so much thanks to you all! Because my seniors guided me so well, I could work even harder while playing Jin Jinju!”
“Hey, modest much!”
“Give her applause!”
Even though ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) she was an actress recognized by Geum Bitgang, she gave all the credit to her seniors.
The farewell dragged on because no one wanted it to end.
Empty bottles multiplied on the table, but no one moved to leave.
Tak Jeongyun quietly rose from her seat.
Outside, unlike the noisy interior, the world was still. She pulled a cigarette from her pocket and placed it between her lips.
“Unnie.”
Through the haze of smoke, she saw Yeoreum.
Tak Jeongyun lifted a hand, dispersing the smoke.
Come to think of it, once the sun went down, the air had grown noticeably chilly.
Summer was ending.
“Heading out?”
“Yes. What about you?”
“I’ll stay a little longer.”
A swirl of emotions crossed her face.
She was grateful that a rising actress had bothered to return to such a small theater.
At the same time, she envied the talent that seemed forever out of reach.
She admired the way Yeoreum had flown overseas repeatedly for luxury brand events without once showing fatigue.
But what left her lips was short.
“...You worked hard. All this time.”
Maybe she wouldn’t see Han Yeoreum again.
The moment she’d heard NetHolics Korea was launching, the first person she thought of was Yeoreum.
And sure enough—she had been cast in its very first production. Not just any project, but one written by Seomun Ihwa.
Han Yeoreum belonged to another world.
“I’ll watch your next project too. If you have time, come visit Daehakro again... I know you’re busy, though. And if I ever land something, I’ll send tickets to your agency.”
How far would she rise?
Tak Jeongyun couldn’t imagine it.
There was a fleeting thought—that having once shared a small Daehakro stage with Han Yeoreum might become the brightest moment in her acting life.
“Unnie, come up to where I am.”
Yeoreum’s low voice pierced through her.
“Hey, what are you—”
How could an unknown actress trapped in Daehakro for years stand shoulder to shoulder with someone rewriting records from the moment she debuted?
Tak Jeongyun was too flustered to form proper words.
But Yeoreum’s gaze was steady.
“Let’s do the next project together too.”
It was the look of someone who believed her own words.
No hesitation.
“...Me? With you?”
Ridiculous.
And yet Tak Jeongyun’s heart began to burn.
“I’ll head off first.”
Yeoreum turned away without lingering.
But to Tak Jeongyun, that “I’ll go first” sounded different.
As if she was saying—
Follow the road I’m on.
The confidence that had slowly worn away over time. The acting she’d continued half out of stubbornness, half out of habit.
A flame that had once burned hot, then warm, then lukewarm.
It reignited.
Her body burned like Yeoreum at noon.
I want to act.
Only that thought filled her mind, like when she had first dreamed of becoming an actress.
* * *
‘Even thinking about it again, that was fucking cool....’
Another item crossed off the pre-sleep delusion bucket list.
‘Who am I?’
Cast in a NetHolics Korea hit. Appearing in Episode 1 of Mad Ihwa’s work. Nominated for Best Young Theater Artist at the very moment of stage debut. Recognized even in Daehakro. A rising actress who now extends her hand first and offers advice to others.
Han Yeoreum.
“Ah! I’m seriously so cool!”
I stomped my feet on the sofa.
If this were a drama, that scene would’ve hit a million views, easily.
“Yeoreum!”
A light knock. The door opened.
This was the MusicN set.
Seo Eden, already finished with makeup, slipped naturally into my waiting room.
“You’ve memorized the choreography?”
“Of course.” freēwēbηovel.c૦m
“Ah, it’s such a shame, right?”
Today would be my last time as MusicN’s MC.
A live broadcast once a week—it simply couldn’t continue while filming three dramas.
“...Yeah.”
My first overseas schedule.
Fans I could meet up close.
Cue cards I memorized every week.
The waiting room door with my name on it.
Now I had to say goodbye.
“Hey, don’t make that face. Let’s finish strong! We’ll crush the special stage and end it with a bang. They say if the ending’s good, everything’s good.”
For once, Seo Eden was absolutely right.
“Okay. Watch me once more. The hand movements are trickier than they look.”
My final view as MusicN MC was perfect.
The special stage had zero mistakes.
The audience response was loud.
I spotted familiar fans.
‘Two this time....’
I waved toward the fan who had opened a birthday café for me and the one I’d run into at a crosswalk.
The cheers erupted as if someone had turned up a mic.
“Great work!”
Backstage, a cake with candles awaited us.
[Goodbye
MC Name!]
Seo Eden and I blew out the candles.
We took photos for SNS uploads.
Finished the MusicN in-house content video.
“You worked really hard, Yeoreum.”
“You too, Writer. Thank you.”
“Our staff’s really sad to see you go. Where are we going to find another MC who memorizes cue cards so perfectly?”
“Exactly! I don’t want to send her off!”
I shook hands with the staff one by one.
“But you know what? I’ve got a feeling.”
“What kind of feeling? That I’ll win a Grand Prize later?”
“No, not that.”
The MusicN PD grinned.
“I feel like one day you’ll MC the Acting Awards. Or the Arts Awards. Someone as diligent as you will definitely succeed.”
“Oooh! She’s already doing great!”
“Hey, I’m saying she’ll do even better!”
He squeezed my hand in encouragement.
After returning my mic, Seo Eden beamed.
“Ah! It’s really over!”
“Thank you for everything, sunbae.”
Thanks to him, the Intube in-house content videos had performed well.
He’d even given me cute highlight parts during challenge shoots.
‘An active idol teaching me how to charm helped me get tons of good photos.’
Probably why my Youstagram followers had grown steadily.
Seo Eden flashed a V-sign.
“Alright! Now it’s my turn to ask you for guidance. Revenge!”
“Don’t you mean reverse?”
“Something like that. Anyway, take care of me.”
“...Excuse me?”
Why was he suddenly acting cute?
“I’m in 〈Youth Disqualified!〉 too. Han Yeoreum sunbae.”
* * *
A few days later, the casting board article for 〈Youth Disqualified!〉 was released.
[Youth Drama Powerhouse MBS Announces Fresh-Faced Cast for 〈Youth Disqualified!〉]
On the 2nd, MBS officially announced the cast of its new mini-series 〈Youth Disqualified!〉, describing it as “a work that will portray the inner lives of twenty-somethings with fresh and youthful sensitivity.”
MBS stated, “By placing rising actors with both star power and acting skill at the forefront, we aim to approach home viewers in a friendly way.”
The three leads are Han Yeoreum (Na Yuna), who proved her acting through 〈Strange Tales〉; Choo Gaeul (Go Yungyo), who made a bold impression in 〈The Fuse〉; and So Dami (Jeong Heejeong), who charmed audiences in 〈Heart-Throbbing♥︎ Love Simulation〉.
Adding flavor, idol Seo Eden will play Jeong Yun, heightening anticipation among fans.
Meanwhile, Han Yeoreum is also preparing to greet viewers through KBC’s large-scale production 〈The Great Garland〉, which premieres tonight.
“My dutiful daughter always gives me something....”
Aetami checked the clock.
Ten minutes left.
〈The Great Garland〉 was about to begin.
