A company office located somewhere in northern Seoul.
One of Kim Chunyong’s fan photographers from <Targeting Star>, who went by the SNS handle “NBML__0000,” glanced at the clock on the office wall and let out a small sigh.
‘Time just drags on endlessly!’
Arriving at work at 9 AM, working until 1 PM for the morning shift.
An hour for lunch, then back to the grind until 6 PM.
“Seonbae, I’ve uploaded the file to the server. Please check it.”
“Oh, yes. Got it.”
She peeked at the colleague next to her as they replied, already drowning in the monotony of her day.
Then, instead of the file server, she opened an internet portal.
One tab was for SNS, another for a celebrity community, and the last for Targeting Star’s voting page.
‘Maybe I’ll use my bonus to buy a new lens. I’ve been attending tapings to photograph more of Chunyong, so…’
The person she had dubbed her “miracle,” Kim Chunyong, was sailing smoothly in the rankings, drawing quite a good response.
[8. Kim Chunyong 297,742 votes]
‘It could be higher, but… for someone who wasn’t given a strong narrative like the AG pure-bloods, 8th place is holding up well.’
She had fallen for him after seeing his Beyond the Waves stage, and though she’d worried she might lose interest after watching episodes one and two,
“Spring Chun, Yong Yong here!”
Her concerns had been needless.
Kim Chunyong, with eyes blazing and determined to succeed, only made her like him more, not less. There were no embarrassing moments or impulsive actions that made her affection suddenly evaporate.
There had been moments of tension with Min Si Young, and some conflict resolution within the ‘Aiming’ team, sure—but those were just necessary actions.
‘Without that bit of drama, he wouldn’t have drawn any attention. The key to the first broadcast is getting noticed…’
[Did you see the pre-interview video?? How is there an idol trainee named Kim Chunyongㄷㄷ How is there an idol trainee named Kim Chunyongㄷㄷ]
[⎿The gap moe is insane, he calls himself Yong Yong]
[⎿He’s saying the Chinese character for his name is Yong Yong, you’re just slow on the uptake. But I like it.]
‘The response from casual fans isn’t bad. But still….’
Click.
She carefully clicked her mouse, opening a different page.
Instead of her main fan account, “NBML__0000,” she logged into her secondary “ㅇㅇ” account to check out the deeper parts of the internet.
‘It’s a bit unsavory, but it has to be done.’
The current fandom landscape for trainees was chaos—AG pure-bloods, trainees from other agencies, foreign trainees, all split into factions, creating utter havoc.
