“Why you?”
With a genuinely baffled expression, Shim Juhwan asked again.
“Why is it you and not Myeong Jeha?”
“Hyung. I’m seriously starting to get hurt now.”
“That’s weird.... It was practically done already.”
Shim Juhwan stared at Seo Eden sitting in front of him before tilting his head.
“There was definitely something dangerously close going on between those two at my music video set. Like, completely! You know? Anyway, they were basically there already. Doesn’t seem like the kind of relationship you’d be able to wedge yourself into.”
“Ahjussi! Please get a grip already! Seriously, stop it. I kinda wanna go find Director Ja and ask him to pay my hospital bills. Has he lost his mind or what?”
“What do you know about love? Everyone understands except you. Seriously, it felt like the time for those two to properly get together had finally come....”
Shim Juhwan was still faithfully continuing his Taeseok-Huijae shipper activities.
He replayed his own music video once a day while waiting for Myeong Jeha’s name to be announced as Han Yeoreum’s next co-star.
“I get it now.”
“What? That you’re crazy, hyung?”
“I guess you don’t trigger any jealousy.”
Seo Eden successfully joined <Dongdaemun Romance>.
Just like he had appealed to Han Yeoreum, he had a strong Japanese fanbase, wore clothes incredibly well, and more than anything else, Seo Eden’s agency had practically crawled on the floor begging for the role.
[Hwang Boseok Reveals Synopsis for Upcoming Work <Dongdaemun Romance>... Anticipation Explodes for Seo Eden and Han Yeoreum’s Crazy Chemistry]
On the 30th, star writer Hwang Boseok officially unveiled his upcoming drama <Dongdaemun Romance>. A cheerful romantic comedy depicting the love story of a man and woman in Dongdaemun, the drama stars idol-turned-actor Seo Eden as “Jeon Segye,” the eldest son who is not truly treated like one, and rising actress Han Yeoreum as “Nam Pyeonghwa,” who opens the Dongdaemun dawn market. The two previously appeared together in 〈Youth Disqualified!〉 and were beloved by the public years ago after gaining the nickname “Name Couple” while MCing on <Music N>. The chemistry Hwang Boseok will create with the “Name Couple” is already being considered one of this year’s most anticipated projects....
-Whatttt the Name Couple reunion TT_TT I’m so happy
-Huh? Since when is Seo Eden big enough for a Hwang Boseok project.. hehe
˪Carefully saying same tbh 2222
˪His acting in Youth Disqualified! was decent though
˪Obviously? His total screentime was barely even ten minutes. If he’d sucked there he’d have been genuinely fucked;
-Still, I like their visual chemistry..TT_TT They’re cute just standing together
˪Same, I liked them since the Music N days hehe
-Hwang Boseok is seriously a guaranteed-hit writer, I’m absolutely watching live again this time holy shit I’m nervous
The articles spread rapidly. It was a collaboration between MBS and JC ENM. The name Hwang Boseok alone instantly drew in drama addicts everywhere.
[DramaMovieActor TALK / Wait is Han Yeoreum actually a cow or something?]
She’s doing Strange Tales and Faster Than the Law and now even a romcom????
-Anonymous 1: Ahhh I’m so fucking proud of my actress
-Anonymous 2: I love seeing Han Yeoreum work so passionately without any hiatus LMAO
-Anonymous 5: Is it because of Dongdaemun Romance? There was a Dongdaemun sighting of her recently T_T
Anonymous 9: Seriously? Damn, she’s insanely hardworking
The moment MBS pulled the “we’ve got Han Yeoreum” move faster than anyone else, KBC refused to lose and immediately lifted its embargo.
[DramaMovieActor TALK / Another Han Yeoreum article just dropped holy shit]
She’s doing an action melodrama with Han Yohan
-Anonymous 1: ??????? This isn’t fake news?
-Anonymous 4: She’s getting scarier and scarier. She really gives fans everything they want
-Anonymous 8: Wow holy shit it’s real lmao KBC released the article
˪Anonymous 12: She seriously feels insane, like she’s genuinely obsessed with acting LOLOLOLOL (P)
-Anonymous 14: But what a waste, Han Yohan...T_T Feels like it’s gonna turn into another generic hit. Probably gonna be the weakest project in Han Yeoreum’s filmography
Watching Seo Eden monitor reactions, Shim Juhwan finally came to a conclusion.
“Yeah. Even if I were Myeong Jeha, I’d probably think you were fine too. I’d probably generously let it slide even if there was a kiss scene.”
“I shouldn’t have told you anything, hyung.”
Pretending not to hear Seo Eden’s complaint, Shim Juhwan restarted the song he’d been listening to. Bright, flashy music filled the room.
“What song is this? Your new track? Again? I’m scared of the power of delusional shipping.”
“No. I wish I made it.”
Shim Juhwan spoke with genuine regret.
“They’re a genius.”
“What is?”
“The person who made this song.”
The quality of the music pouring from the speakers was on another level.
It almost sounded like the notes themselves were running wild. It felt like listening to fireworks through your ears.
“A genius.”

Dawn at Incheon Airport. A blond-haired boy wearing black headphones opened his eyes even though nobody had woken him up.
‘So loud....’
Even with the headphones on, he could still hear it.
The distinct hum of the airplane. The surrounding noise. And finally, even the sound of his own heartbeat pounding in his ears.
The half-lidded green eyes blinked slowly before the boy turned toward the window.
Blue sky.
Before he knew it, he was getting closer to the place where that person was.
“I’m looking forward to it.”

Jegal Rok checked the file.
It was an email sent from Disney.
JC ENM had steadily built a close relationship with Disney over the years.
Every time a new release came out, they handled the theatrical screenings, and JC ENM subsidiaries like OCM and TVM consistently purchased broadcasting rights for their channels.
Naturally, JC ENM and the Disney Asia branch had become extremely close. Sitting in his quiet executive office, Jegal Rok recalled the deal between Disney and NetHolics.
‘Two years....’
The exclusive streaming rights Disney sold to NetHolics were for five years. There were too many beloved Disney masterpieces to even count.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe, P Company animation films, and new releases and classics from the most iconic animation studio of all.
‘If every single one of those titles disappeared from NetHolics two years from now.’
And just a few days ago, suspicious movements had been detected from the Disney side.
Acquisition of BIMtech.
The fact that they were gradually buying shares in a technology company responsible for Major League Baseball streaming made the answer obvious.
It was likely part of a strategy to secure streaming capabilities. NetHolics had quickly picked up on the movement as well.
Jegal Rok’s prediction had been correct.
Sooner or later, Disney would launch its own OTT platform.
Jegal Rok finished reviewing the proposed film.
It wasn’t bad. He was certain it would achieve a decent level of success.
The role wasn’t huge, but it definitely had at least one unforgettable scene capable of leaving a lasting impression.
Jegal Rok’s gaze sharpened as he stared at the screen.
[Funny Bunny Harmony]
Joy, a rabbit living in Sweettown, has one enormous problem.
Her family.
Joy is a rabbit, but her parents and younger siblings are all flying squirrels.
“I knew it! I was adopted!”
Joy leaves home to ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) search for her real parents and vows to return as an amazing singer, but....
It was practically the same as Disney reaching out to JC ENM first.
An unmistakable green light.
Lala: Han Yeoreum
Jegal Rok decided to cast a JC ENM actress in the animation dub.
Exactly as requested.

The moment I read the synopsis and character descriptions I’d been handed, I was shocked.
‘It’s that one.’
I knew this animation too because the OST had become pretty popular. I’d even seen clips of the cute bouncing rabbit and flying squirrels a few times.
‘Even I remember the chorus.’
The movie had pulled in over three million viewers in Korea and joined the ranks of hit animated films.
「Mission: Even If You Can’t See It」 ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Keyword: Voice Acting
Can you breathe life into a character using only your voice? Hidden behind anonymity, can you inspire the dreams of children around the world and bring tears to adults’ eyes?
Success Condition [5 million viewers]
If it was this project, I could clear the mission no matter what.
‘An extra two million.... That’s the tricky part.’
If word got out that I was participating, there was no way JC ENM would stay still. Team Leader Seong and Manager Ma would definitely push the early buzz properly through Intube and viral marketing.
“But why is it so quiet around here?”
“Ah, that.”
We were traveling by car, and at some point everything around us gradually became silent. All I could hear was the sound of the wind and birds crying in the distance.
“I heard they’re insanely sensitive to noise. Apparently they’re different from normal people.”
I had come to meet the person who had pushed for my casting — and the music director for <Funny Bunny Harmony>.
