Possessed 10 Million Actors

Chapter 126:

"Vice President Yoon Gayeon contacted me all of a sudden?"

Forgetting to even open the caf door, Seo Yeonsoo, with a surprised expression, continued reading Yoon Gayeon's message.

[Vice President Yoon Gayeon It's been a while since I reached out. I contacted you because of our company's audition this time.

I checked to see if you applied, and it seems you haven't applied yet.

I don't know if you remember, but I once suggested that you try auditioning. I'm really preparing for this audition in earnest, so I hope you consider applying.

Of course, it's not about special treatment, but I just want to say that I had a good feeling about you from the first time I met Ms. Yeonsoo.

You don't have to send a reply. I'll take it as applying through the audition profile. ^^]

It was a long message. After reading the message again, Seo Yeonsoo took a deep breath and exhaled.

The Vice President personally asking me to audition'

She certainly remembered Yoon Gayeon suggesting she auditioned in the past. Also, she was aware of the large-scale audition being held by OS Entertainment this time.

However, Seo Yeonsoo purposely didn't apply.

They said that OS Entertainment actors are also on the judging panel for this audition. Obviously, Jinseok Oppa will be there too. If I participate in such an audition I might unnecessarily burden him.'

The OS Entertainment audition is a golden opportunity that anyone in the acting field would want to try.

However, Seo Yeonsoo hesitated due to her concerns about adding unnecessary pressure on Jinseok.

But Vice President directly reaching out, it's not something I can just ignore'

As Seo Yeonsoo's thoughts tangled like threads, deep in contemplation.

The cafe owner, noticing her standing in front of the cafe door with a tightly held phone, asked, "Yeonsoo, is something wrong?"

"Yes? Oh, no! I just received a text message I'll open it right away!"

Hastily grabbing her phone, Seo Yeonsoo opened the cafe door.

I should think about it when I have some free time, maybe look at the audition guidelines.'

Looking at the long line, she wasn't sure when that would be, but for now, she needed to focus on her part-time job.

Seo Yeonsoo greeted customers with a cheerful voice, "Welcome!"

After Kwon Seokhoon's departure from KL Entertainment, those in the entertainment industry were curious about his next move.

Which agency would he join? Could he be starting his own?

Amid rumors and gossip, a solo article by Go Seoyoung surfaced, calming all controversies.

Exclusive! Kwon Seokhoon "I am leaving KL Entertainment and participating in OS Entertainment's audition."

The impact of this article was significant. KL Entertainment faced internal turmoil, and OS Entertainment's stock prices soared day by day.

And it wasn't just OS Entertainment that hit the jackpot thanks to the article.

"As expected, Reporter Go! You've been a bit quiet lately, but you've hit the jackpot again! How about a team dinner today? Beef? Huh? Hahaha!"

The editor praised Go Seoyoung, tightly clenching his fist with a hearty laugh. Since the article was published, the editor has vigorously praised Go Seoyoung every time he saw her.

Thanks to this article, the overall readership of the newspaper increased, and advertising rates went up.

"Editor, you've been talking about it for a week. Whether it's beef or pork, anything is fine, so treat us!"

Although Go Seoyoung glared at the editor with playful eyes, the editor skillfully brushed off her words.

"A week? Has it already been a week since that article came out? I've been so excited lately; I didn't realize time was flying!"

""

"Alright! Then, for the next exclusive scoop, I'll definitely treat you."

"Always talking about the next scoop. Is that easy?"

"Of course, it's not easy! But Reporter Go makes it look easy! Hahaha!"

The editor laughed heartily, shaking his thick jaw and belly, and gave Go Seoyoung a thumbs-up.

"Then, stay strong! I have a meeting, so I'm off!"

The editor swiftly left the office, his bulky body surprisingly agile.

Watching his retreating figure, Go Seoyoung nodded her head a few times and then took her seat. A fellow journalist with dark circles extending down to his chin approached her.

For several days now, the journalist hadn't been home, and the smell of sweat and nauseating cigarette smoke wafted over.

"Reporter Go, please give me some sources for the article. I might really die at this rate."

In response to her colleague's plea upon sitting down, Go Seoyoung chuckled and distanced herself slightly.

"I might die from your smell. Go wash up. When did you last go home?"

"After you published the scoop, the editor said, Are the others not working?' Since then, I haven't gone. I have to be careful. I'm newlywed; cut me some slack. If this continues, my belongings might get thrown out."

"Ugh. Instead of comfortably writing articles, go out and do some reporting!"

"That's true."

Unable to refute Go Seoyoung's words, he patted his chest in frustration.

As if unwilling to be involved any longer, Go Seoyoung retreated, accidentally bumping into another journalist's chair behind her.

"Oh, sorry. Suyeon?"

"Senior?"

"Why are you so absent-minded again?"

Kang Suyeon, who was sitting behind, looked at Go Seoyoung with tired eyes. Her disheveled hair was flattened, and her skin looked quite rough.

"Ugh Why this absent-mindedness again? It's all thanks to the great Senior."

Kang Suyeon gulped down coffee of uncertain origin and spoke.

"Are you also unable to leave work because of me?"

"Yeah"

Thud!

Kang Suyeon weakly said and banged her head on the keyboard. As she did, the letters Ahh' appeared successively on the article writing panel displayed on the monitor.

Seeing this, Go Seoyoung felt a bit sorry for her other colleagues. It wasn't intentional, but because of her, others were feeling pressure from their superiors.

Well, since there was something to ask, might as well bring it up casually.'

Besides, Kang Suyeon was her subordinate. It felt a bit uncomfortable to leave her alone like this.

"Ugh, okay. Both of you, come here."

Go Seoyoung sighed as if there was no other choice and spoke. Then, the fellow journalist and Kang Suyeon, who had been slouching in her chair, huddled next to Go Seoyoung.

"What's up? Do you have some scoop hidden away again?!"

"Senior, I really admire you. You know that, right?"

"Alright, look at this. You step back a bit. You smell."

"Yes, Reporter Go."

The colleague backed off about a centimeter from Go Seoyoung. His gaze fixed on Go Seoyoung's laptop screen.

Since it seemed useless to say more, Go Seoyoung opened the Article Sources' file. It contained the leads she had used for articles until now and those she planned to use in the future.

Opening the Kwon Seokhoon File,' Go Seoyoung said, "You know Kwon Seokhoon left KL Entertainment and is participating in the OS Entertainment audition?"

"Of course, we know."

"Yes."

"Okay. But besides the OS Entertainment audition, Kwon Seokhoon is participating in one more."

At the mention of participating in another audition,' their eyes sparkled.

"Kwon Seokhoon, the actor, is auditioning for another agency, not just OS Entertainment?"

"Rea, really?"

"No, listen to the whole story first. Not an agency audition but a project audition."

At that statement, the eyes of the two, which had been sparkling until a moment ago, dimmed again. Participating in a project audition was quite common for actors, and it could be turned into an article, but it wasn't exactly breaking news.

Seeing their reaction, Go Seoyoung chuckled and said, "But here's the catch. Kang Jinseok and Kwon Seokhoon competed for the same role."

Go Seoyoung conveyed the nuance of Isn't this good material for an article?' However, the responses were still lukewarm.

"So what? It's not uncommon for actors from the same agency to audition for the same project."

"Right. It doesn't seem like breaking news."

With their indifferent remarks, Go Seoyoung shook her head as if they were pitiful.

"Ugh, you guys. Just reporting it like that wouldn't be interesting. You need to add MSG, you know, MSG."

"MSG?"

"Yeah. Hey, you both know that the OS Entertainment audition will also have actors from the agency as judges, right?"

"Yes."

"Yeah."

"Then, won't Kang Jinseok naturally become a judge?"

"Of course."

"Right?"

They both answered without much thought.

Soon, Kang Suyeon, with widened eyes as if realizing something, asked, "Wait. You mentioned Kang Jinseok and Kwon Seokhoon auditioning for the same role earlier. So are judges and audition participants competing for the same role?"

Competing for the same role between audition judges and participants. This was an issue that even someone not interested in movies might find intriguing, something worth clicking on.

Perhaps more than Kwon Seokhoon leaving KL Entertainment and participating in the OS Entertainment audition, this could become an even more significant issue.

"As expected of my subordinate. You catch on faster than that guy. So, what do you think? Isn't this a decent source?"

"Not bad, right? It's a jackpot!"

"Sure, then let's write the article together."

Go Seoyoung said with a satisfied smile, alternating between glances at Kang Suyeon and the fellow journalist. Both were looking at Go Seoyoung.

"But why are you giving us such a good lead? Isn't it an article we shouldn't write?"

Just for a moment. The fellow journalist asked cautiously.

"If you doubt it, don't write it. Suyeon, if you want to handle it individually"

"No! It's not that I doubt it. It just doesn't suit your character. Haven't you yielded exclusive scoops to others before? And now, giving it away for free like this."

Go Seoyoung looked at the fellow journalist in silence. Then, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "When did I give anything away for free? It's obviously a give-and-take."

"If you say so. What difficult favor are you trying to ask for by giving us this scoop?"

"It's nothing much. I'm going out somewhere for just a day tomorrow, so could you handle the work for me?"

Doing personal business outside without the editor's knowledge was a surreptitious affair. However, to do that, she had to ask her colleagues to handle the office work.

The fellow journalist responded casually, "That's not too much to ask. But what's the matter?"

"I have a job interview tomorrow."

"Oh, a job interview? Good luck Wait, not fighting.' A job interview?!"

"A job interview?!"

Both of them exclaimed in surprise and asked Go Seoyoung. Go Seoyoung urgently hushed them by placing a finger on her lips.

"Hush! Keep it down! What if the editor hears?"

"Sorry, but what's the interview for? Are you changing jobs?"

Go Seoyoung shook her head.

"No, I'm thinking of quitting journalism."

"Then?"

"I received an offer from an entertainment planning agency. It's in publicity and marketing Anyway, that's the story."

The fellow journalist and Kang Suyeon still had surprised expressions, but they nodded in understanding. Taking a journalist to the publicity team was not an everyday occurrence.

"That's good. Give it a try. By the way, where?"

"OS Entertainment."

The fellow journalist sincerely wished her well and asked, "OS Entertainment? Good luck. By the way, why there?"

"Jang Sunho, the team leader at OS Entertainment, suggested I give it a shot during the interview."

Even though her colleagues and Kang Suyeon still seemed surprised, they nodded in understanding. It wasn't uncommon for journalists to transition to roles in publicity, and this seemed like a good opportunity.
