Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 90: Did You Get GK to Voice Their Opinion?

"However, before I go to see Yonghwa, the first thing you need to do..."

"The first thing I need to do is get Minjung unnie to accompany me to the police station. I will also ask my lawyer to release a statement on my behalf." Jooeun understood what Jeonghwan wanted her to do. With the words 'bed-climbing Cha Jooeun' growing ever more vicious, the only people that could deter them were the police.

"You need to be firm with your position. Following on, we will slowly clear your name. Don't be afraid..." Jeonghwan gently stroked Jooeun's hair. "No matter what happens, I'll be right here by your side."

"I know." Jooeun looked at Jeonghwan with an assured smile. Compared to being blacklisted by SM Entertainment 3 years ago and going from a famous model to nothing in one day, how could this small incident compare? She had pulled through such difficult times. This incident is nothing, especially since she had Jeonghwan by her side.

"CN has really gone too far this time. Both their bed-climbing models aren't stepping out to respond, seems it must be true. Cheap sl*ts!"

"Cha Jooeun, I am only 17-years-old and am about to compete in a modeling competition. You were originally my role model, but I never expected you would do something like this; you are disgusting. You should leave the industry and not continue to set a bad example for the youth."

"Ehhh...I told you guys ages ago, Cha Jooeun is an outdated model. To be able to get to where she is today, she must have had her methods!"

"Stop talking rubbish. The contract that was exposed only mentioned Cha Jooeun's name. I believe in her, she couldn't have done something to disappoint us."

"Are you a worm in her stomach? It is because both her EQ and IQ are too high that she has you all consumed in her lies. Grow up, child."

"You moronic fans should go die."

After CN's scandal spread through all forms of media, all the discussions online were filled with hatred. Random people made accusations, using sharp and vicious comments. Meanwhile, loyal fans are too afraid to say anything; worried they would attract even more insults. All they could do is sigh and not let the negativity get to them.

It had only been 1-2 hours since the scandal was exposed and people are already using the term 'bed-climbing Cha Jooeun' for profit; claiming they had a video of Jooeun in bed with someone.

The scandal became more and more vicious and had already started to tarnish Jooeun's reputation. However, neither CN nor Jang Geunseuk stepped out to clear the matter nor apologize; there are zero PR efforts. There's only one simple statement released on the Annual Model Awards website: "We will do an internal investigation and give the public an answer as soon as possible."

At this point, no one that had worked with or is about to work with Jooeun stepped out to speak for her. Even when they were faced with discussions involving Jooeun, they would quickly avoid it. In reality, most people didn't even care about the truth. How could an outdated model become famous throughout the US? And what right did she have to become the spokesperson for an International French brand? Isn't it all because she slept with someone? No one cared about how much hard work was put in and how much suffering it took to get to where she was.

This is the cruel reality of the world; especially the entertainment industry. Popularity is a double-edged sword: it can help one overcome obstacles, but at the same time it can stab them until they are dripping in blood.

Under such bad circumstances, James Graham made a phone call to Jooeun to check on her; proving he is a person with nothing to hide.

"Jooeun, are you OK?"

"I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Graham." Jooeun is both thankful and apologetic towards him. "I am so sorry to have implicated you and 1stLook."

"I am confident I have not judged you incorrectly. If you need any help, let me know."

"Your trust is already the biggest help." Jooeun sighed. Adding to the situation right now isn't hard, but how many people could offer assistance at a time like this? Mr. Graham expressed that he would not be canceling her magazine front cover and would instead wait for her to clear her name to the public.

Jooeun hung up the phone feeling grateful before turning to Jeonghwan, who had stayed at home to keep her company. The couple's relationship is strong and they understood each other.

Afterward, Jooeun swiftly started making a move as she asked her lawyer to release a statement on her behalf.

"The 'bed climbing scandal is completely fabricated and Cha Jooeun has never undertaken any abnormal activities in the industry. Her relationship with Mr. Jang Geunseuk is purely one of passing and has never gone any further than a simple exchange of greetings. Could all those involved please clarify these false rumors or else legal action will be taken against them?"

Apart from this, Jooeun also asked her lawyer to release her schedule from the past half a month online. This meant the netizens could examine the schedule and do their own research on her whereabouts. With the release of her statement, the fans that supported her immediately came back alive as they left comments of support under the lawyer's statement. The fans are well aware of their idol's schedule, so they knew all along – there's no way she could do anything with the despicable Mr. Jang.

Jooeun is a model that stayed at home whenever she isn't working; she barely even attended private events, nor did she ever hang out with friends or go out to dinner. So Jooeun's gentle-toned statement and the release of her schedule created a gradual turn of events. However, this isn't all...

At this time, the upright man, James Graham expressed his thoughts in an interview.

"Cha Jooeun sleeping with people? Everyone in the industry knows how I am, I detest those that are dishonest and dirty. If she is such a person, I would not be friends with her. The Cha Jooeun I know is extremely professional and thoughtful with a cool personality. She is exceptionally clear where her bottom line stands. If she is really to do such a thing, she would have so much more; why would she need to go look for a disgusting old man? Don't forget, previously someone framed her for creating hype with the CEO of GK...and the result? They were blacklisted by GK. From this, we can see, there is nothing wrong with Cha Jooeun's character. As for the agreement, I also read it. I think we are all clear about how CN has treated Cha Jooeun in the past, need I say more?"

With James Graham's words, all the people that were insulting Jooeun are furious. They refused to accept his words as they claimed Graham is a pretentious person. Graham's response is that he didn't care. To be able to stick up for a friend is worth it.

Meanwhile, GK Entertainment's Artists Director is also in the middle of an interview. Since GK had previously stepped out to clear Jooeun's name in another incident, the media wanted to know their thoughts about Jooeun this time. At first, everyone thought the director would ignore any questions about Jooeun, but instead, he smiled mysteriously before responding to the reporters.

"You should never look at things from the surface. Just like if one day, you find your name on a suspects list, does that mean you are a murderer? Isn't it possible you could also be a victim?"

Upon seeing the interview, Jooeun is stunned for a moment before turning to Jeonghwan. "Did you get GK to voice their opinion?"

"Even James Graham has stepped out to defend you. Did you think I could just watch on without doing anything when my heart is in so much pain?" Jeonghwan placed a kiss on Jooeun's forehead.
