“Right?! It’s insane!”
On the screen was a candid photo of Han Yeoreum from the red carpet. Her bright smile shone as she waved.

“The views and retweets are still a bit low, but...”
“The material is excellent.”
“Manager Hong. This is enough!”
Manager Ma and Manager Hong’s eyes gleamed.
The time had come to show Han Yeoreum as the beauty ambassador of Company D.
* * *
“Even I think I took this ridiculously well....”
Aetami quickly selected one photo from the many candid shots she had taken that day and finished editing it.
Every single one of them was a best shot, so choosing just one had been incredibly difficult. But she had no choice.
“It has to go up on a day like today for maximum effect!”
Anyone glancing over the current situation would have uploaded it immediately.
Right now, the supporters of the GiYeon couple from <The Great Garland> were practically holding a festival.

For drama fans living in the barren ecosystem where content vanished the moment a show ended, award ceremonies were nothing less than a land of opportunity.
Just having the actors in the same place was enough.
Drama fans would take anything and celebrate it first.
“If they’re sitting at the same table and won Best Couple on the same day... yeah, everyone’s basically dead.”
Aetami, being a drama fan herself, knew that ecosystem better than anyone.
And the show generating the most buzz at this KBC awards ceremony was, without question, <The Great Garland>.
“And that’s why the network already uploaded the clip.”
The KBC Drama Center was currently rowing like mad while the tide was high.
It was obvious they were determined to gather as many subscribers as possible through <The Great Garland>. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
“Back when <The Great Garland> first started, it was 200,000 subscribers behind SBC....”
That had been true until episode three.
But now, not even two months later, the gap between them and SBC had shrunk to only ten thousand.
For a single drama to pull in that many subscribers in such a short time meant the popularity of <The Great Garland> was on a completely different level compared to past hits.
Aetami smiled contentedly and clicked on Yeoreum’s acceptance speech again.
– I’m so sad we only got to see her briefly as a child actor... she was seriously amazing
– The transition to the adult version was honestly disappointing T_T they should’ve given us a few more episodes
– TT__TT she’s so freaking cute baby melon bread congrats!!!!
– The most charming actress on TV these days. Cheering for you.
Even though the video had just been uploaded, supportive comments were already flooding in.
At that moment, Aetami’s phone began vibrating nonstop.
“Huh?”
The feeling was oddly familiar, like something she had experienced once before.
Suddenly she remembered the day when the stage fancam of <Romeo and Juliet> had gone viral again.
Aetami immediately grabbed her phone.
“Wow....”
Her intuition had been correct.

Yeoreum’s photo exploded in popularity.

“So now it’s my turn?”
After receiving Manager Ma’s message, Dok Gogyeol looked at her phone.
“Even I have to admit, our cutie looks adorable when she smiles.”
This time, just like at the previous fan signing, the makeup had a key highlight.
Last time it had been a soft apricot blush.
This time, the difference was a winter-perfect red blush.
With a glow stick balm and a highlighter containing fine shimmer applied to her cheeks, every time she smiled her expression looked even brighter.
“This one’s perfect too. Seriously, I’m a genius.”
Since the stylist had gone for a classic direction, the hair and makeup had followed the same tone.
Thanks to the vivid red lip that matched the blush, fast-moving SNS card news was already circulating with titles like:
“Han Yeoreum, nicknamed Snow White.jpg.”
“Alright, time to release the information.”
Thanks to impatient cosmetics fans, Dok Gogyeol’s Yousta DM inbox was already overflowing with unread messages.
[Director, could you please tell us what products Han Yeoreum used on the red carpet TT_TT]
[Was Han Yeoreum’s blush from Company D too? Is it the same product from the fan signing but a different shade? ㅜ_ㅜ]
[Director please we urgently need Han Yeoreum’s red carpet info]
Dok Gogyeol immediately uploaded the product details to her story.
“And now it’s time for it to spread everywhere.”
Exactly as she expected, less than an hour later a post appeared on the community boards.

So many people kept asking about the makeup that the artist just released the info lol
(Company D product.jpg)
Apparently it’s the same blush as the one she used at the fan signing last time that also had a small reaction
– Han Yeoreum is honestly the most likable actress lately... when she smiles like that I start grinning like an idiot too T_T
– Her smile is so cute TT__TT baby melon bread
└ Who came up with baby melon bread that nickname is perfect lololol
– That red carpet candid of Han Yeoreum is so lovely... you can literally see affection in her eyes
Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding.
Dok Gogyeol checked the purchase notifications.
It was the sound of sales for the glow stick balm — a product developed exclusively by Gogyeol makeup salon.
“The stick balm sales... if it’s already this much in such a short time....”
No matter how famous makeup artist Dok Gogyeol was, she couldn’t compete with a giant like Company D.
Brand recognition directly translated to trust before purchase.
People bought without hesitation because they trusted the brand. It was only natural.
“I wonder how much the Company D blush sold.”
Dok Gogyeol started to estimate it, then just laughed.
Because she could practically see endless hallucinations of King Sejong and Shin Saimdang multiplying before her eyes.
Company D’s cosmetics must already be generating several times the revenue of Gogyeol’s sales.
“It’ll sell out again soon! Then people will think, ‘I should at least buy this instead,’ and come over to our glow balm! Hahahaha! Okay! I absolutely cannot miss this chance!”
Dok Gogyeol grinned widely and added a new line to the product sales page.
[Shipping delays due to overwhelming orders]
= Don’t think about it. Just buy it now.
It was the perfect spell to force open the wallets of cosmetics enthusiasts.
“At this rate, Eun Baekhap’s side might start feeling a bit nervous.”
Even after becoming Company D’s ambassador, Eun Baekhap had yet to create a trend.
None of the products associated with her name had achieved this level of popularity.
“But if our cutie keeps growing like this—.”
In contrast, Han Yeoreum had already caused several sold-out crises.
Dok Gogyeol expected that every product Yeoreum used would become popular throughout the entire contract period.
“They might actually lose the ambassador position.”
Han Yeoreum wasn’t just a pretty model.
She had the power to move the public.
* * *
“In one day?” freewёbnoνel.com
I was dumbfounded.
The Company D blush had sold out in just a single day.
And that wasn’t all.
Articles were appearing everywhere.
[Analysis of This Year’s Awards Ceremony Best Dresser | StarCutCut]
[Sold out, sold out, sold out again... the real “sold-out woman” appears — “Give me Han Yeoreum’s blush”]
[<The Great Garland> Han Yeoreum joins the “Great Sold-Out Woman” category? | Consumer Report]
The power of a national broadcast really was something.
The speed at which the product sold out was on a completely different level compared to the fan signing event.
‘That photo....’
I remembered the fan I had spotted among the countless cameras.
That moment when our eyes seemed to meet.
I never expected to see it again in a photograph.
– That red carpet candid of Han Yeoreum is so lovely... you can literally see affection in her eyes
└ fr though even at the fan signing honey was practically dripping from her eyes looking at fans
└ I feel like a guardian now damn it we must protect our baby melon bread....
I couldn’t resist the impulse.
I casually left a comment.
Input: how could anyone not like a fan who came out in that weather T_T.. if I were Han Yeoreum I’d be really happy too
Good. Natural.
No one would suspect that the comment had been written by Han Yeoreum herself.
Unni... are you reading this comment...? Did my feelings reach you...?
Ding!

Success Condition
[Create a ‘legendary fan service’ video and make it trend!]
The status window flickered.
Out of the four missions that appeared at last year’s awards ceremony, two had already been completed.
‘I built the “serious about acting” image through <EmBubu>, and I won Rookie Actress at the Drama Awards.’
Now the only remaining ones were the Hong Sang Arts Festival Theater Award I was going to receive today...
...and the legendary fan service trending video.
‘Maybe they’ll come see me again someday?’
If that fan ever came again, I was confident I could spot them instantly.
No matter how many people there were.
Fan service wouldn’t be a problem.
‘Who poured this much syrup over baby melon bread... I want to bite their cheek....’
It was a shame I couldn’t press the like button on every single comment in the community.
I kept monitoring everything carefully.
“Stop smiling and close your eyes slightly.”
Of course, I was receiving makeup while doing this.
Because the only time I got to rest at home these days was when I was sleeping.
After all—
‘I’m not just a rising actress anymore.’
‘I’m a rising popular actress.’
Today, I’m going to the Hong Sang Arts Festival.
To the place I was never once invited to during all those years in theater.
This time proudly carrying the name Han Yeoreum.

“Teacher, please relax your lips just a little.”
At that moment, in a makeup shop in Cheongdam, the makeup artist holding a brush spoke to Geum Bitgang, who kept pressing her lips downward out of habit.
“Hey, Bitgang. If you want to smile, just smile. That would honestly look better.”
“Smile at what? I’m just suppressing a yawn.”
“You stubbornly insisted on being the presenter yourself... and now you’re pretending you’re not excited.”
“Who insisted?!”
Sitting beside her, Noh Jeongyeon burst into laughter.
“Are you that excited? About today?”
“Excited? Please. I’ve been to the Hong Sang Arts Festival plenty of times.”
Geum Bitgang answered gruffly.
“But there is something interesting happening.”
“What?”
“They say someone passed the NetHolics audition.”
“Who?”
At a time when NetHolics had not yet fully entered Korea.
If it was an audition at this stage, it could only mean one project nearing production.
〈Seoul Metropolitan City〉.
Backed by major corporate funding and the ambition of a new platform, 〈Seoul Metropolitan City〉 had already drawn intense attention across the industry with its unprecedented scale and casting plans.
It was only natural that actors were flocking to the audition like mad.
