HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 236: Hottie Designer (1)

Kang Ra-Eun was dumbfounded by Seo Yi-Jun’s mention of a TV appearance. He had absolutely no association with TV; unlike Ra-Eun, a celebrity who stood in front of cameras on a daily basis, he was an ordinary university student majoring in design.

“A TV show? You?”

Yi-Jun nodded and replied, “Yes. I was offered a casting.”

“What kind of casting? Are you sure it’s not some sort of scam?”

“That’s why I asked you to see if you could find out, noona. Wouldn’t you be able to find out if the person who gave me their card really works in the industry, since you’ve been in it for a long time?”

“Well... Yeah.”

Even if Ra-Eun was unfamiliar with the person, she could just ask the people around her to find out. Among them, Chief Jung especially possessed a very wide net of connections in the industry. He knew practically everyone, so she could just ask him if she didn’t know.

“Give me a second. I’ll go get the name card.”

Yi-Jun went into his room and back out moments later, and handed Ra-Eun the name card. It was the card of Song Yu-Song, the main writer of?Jobbing Your Way.

“Isn’t this the talk show that airs every Tuesday evening?” Ra-Eun asked.

“Yes, that’s the one.”

Ra-Eun watched it from time to time when she happened to be watching TV on that specific time and day, and she had even appeared on it a year ago. The talk show Jobbing Your Way, like the name suggested, was about inviting people of various occupations and getting their stories. The theme of the episode that Ra-Eun had appeared in was ‘actors’.

“They’re apparently recruiting people that work in design this time,” Yi-Jun remarked.

“But aren’t you unemployed?”

“I am, but I do outsourcing from time to time. I even outsourced to your company a few times, don't you remember?”

“Oh, right.”

There was no way that Ra-Eun didn’t remember when she had been the one to introduce Yi-Jun to Park Seol-Hun.

“Also, the fact that I’d won a few contests also seemed to have influenced their decision to recruit me.”

“Then I guess they’re trying to paint you as a rising rookie designer.”

“I guess so.”

When recruiting multiple people in the same industry, extra care needed to be taken so that their positions did not overlap. Only through diversity could a more rich and entertaining discussion bloom.

‘Not just that, they’d be able to check the visual aspect off the list if they have a tall and handsome rookie.’

No matter what anyone said, looks could not be ignored when they would be going on camera. Considering that, the writer’s desire to have Yi-Jun on the show was understandable since his looks were practically on par with those of celebrities.

“Do you want to appear on it?” Ra-Eun asked.

The most important thing was Yi-Jun’s intention to appear on the show or not.

Yi-Jun shrugged and answered, “I’m thinking I should.”

“Why? You want to debut into the entertainment industry?”

“No. It’s just... I want to make myself more known. You know, there are tons of chefs that became popular after appearing on TV.”

There had been a time when chefs had appeared on TV all the time. Tons of star chefs, whose popularity was on par with celebrities, were born in a time when cooking was all the rage. Yi-Jun also wanted something like that to happen for him.
