While Jo Seo-hee was flustered by Seo Yeon's savage gaze.
Ji-yeon was still in a state of tension.
Unlike the other two, Ji-yeon hadn't yet received a proper result.
The audition.
Of course, the answer wouldn't come out today, but she at least wanted to hear something about how she did.
"First, you need to understand what kind of character Yeon Seon-ye is."
When the two were practicing, Seo Yeon had told Ji-yeon this.
"Compared to the two young ladies, Yeon Seon-ye gives a relatively commoner-like impression. She was originally a commoner who took on a request by chance."
Yeon Seon-ye was a young girl heading a household, raising her young sibling alone.
However, she applied for a maid position by chance, and was successfully selected.
A man approached her as she rejoiced.
That man promised Yeon Seon-ye a large sum of money if she killed Michiko and brought back a certain necklace.
Yeon Seon-ye belatedly realized that even being selected as a maid was part of the man's intention.
But no matter how large the sum, Yeon Seon-ye tried to refuse since it was murder.
"You have a younger sibling, don't you?"
She had no choice but to be persuaded by his words threatening her about her sibling.
"Of course, Yeon Seon-ye isn't without any extraordinary aspects, but at least her atmosphere is ordinary."
Rather, she gave the impression of a faint presence.
Therefore, the emotionally intense acting Ji-yeon was showing now didn't quite fit.
The character Yeon Seon-ye wasn't someone who expressed her emotions so clearly.
"And the most important thing is…."
The most important thing in this acting was ultimately how to portray Yeon Seon-ye.
Whether to show her own interpretation of the character at the audition.
Or to perfectly embody the character according to the script.
At an audition, you need to know the judge's style.
First, the Jo Seo-hee that Seo Yeon knew was very much a model student.
She didn't particularly like taking risks.
If she interpreted Yeon Seon-ye independently from the script and acted accordingly, Seo-hee naturally wouldn't like it.
Of course, since Jo Seo-hee was closer to participating as an actress even as a judge, her opinion might be weak, but the probability of that emotion being reflected in the acting was high.
"Director Baek Min's tendency."
Seo Yeon had only encountered Director Baek Min through news and articles.
He always had a smiling face.
And he was relaxed, with deep popularity among actors.
However, Seo Yeon, who had seen his works, felt it.
He was the type who didn't greatly like actors making independent interpretations of the characters he had shaped.
He had a picture he had drawn himself, and he liked actors who fit perfectly into it.
That's why he liked Jo Seo-hee.
'She receives affection from people like Actress Jung Eun-sun and Director Baek Min.'
Model student, honor student.
With talent on top of that, how pretty must Jo Seo-hee look to them.
Seo Yeon, who often put in independent interpretations, had a high probability of looking like a troublemaker to them.
"In that sense, I think this is advantageous for you."
Seo Yeon said so, examining Ji-yeon's eyes.
"Advantageous?"
"That's right. To you… it might be a very familiar character."
Seo Yeon didn't say what it was.
No, because it's the red pill!
Lamiel and Lee Ji-yeon are separate.
Seo Yeon always thinks that while knocking her head.
Anyway, there was good reference material to consult this time, and she couldn't ignore it.
"Yeon Seon-ye is a young girl heading a household, and her will is actually strong. Also, she harbors pity for Michiko."
The emotions that emerge from there are very complex.
Originally, Yeon Seon-ye doesn't particularly like Japanese people.
She simply started working as a maid for her sibling.
Likewise, she targets Michiko to save her sibling's life and for a large sum of money.
However, while living in the mansion, she faintly senses the emptiness in Michiko's seemingly glamorous life.
A woman who, unlike herself, doesn't have a single real family.
Only enemies surround her.
Michiko tended to frequently change her servants, including the maids, and the probability of that being entirely due to such an environment was high.
"……."
Lee Ji-yeon fell silent for a moment at Seo Yeon's words.
Probably, she was contemplating while crossing Lamiel and Yeon Seon-ye in her mind.
Of course, Yeon Seon-ye and Lamiel had many different aspects as well.
However, at least the part that formed the basis of their actions was similar.
In terms of character, of course.
"I'm not telling you to bring it over as is. But you can definitely use it as a reference."
Just like when acting as Cha Seo-ah.
Like how Seo Yeon had referenced her past life self.
"It'll definitely be fine."
If it was Yeon Seon-ye who resembled Lamiel, she would definitely fit perfectly into the picture Director Baek Min was trying to draw.
'H, honestly I don't really wish for it though.'
Lamiel should stay as Lamiel!!
If Lamiel became the motif for this
How dreadful would that be!
But, again, if it was for her friend's acting, it couldn't be helped.
Seo Yeon had given such advice while holding back tears of blood.
Well, it wasn't one hundred percent Lamiel in purity, but anyway, that was that.
'You're talking about Lamiel, right?'
Those words of Seo Yeon were also something Ji-yeon had faintly felt.
Of course, RP and acting have some different aspects.
It was words that would make Seo Yeon vomit blood if she heard, but at least Ji-yeon thought so.
Actually, compared to Seo Yeon who was endlessly an amateur in VTubing, Ji-yeon was a pro, so those words might be more correct.
But setting that aside, at least in terms of creating a 'character,' they might be similar.
More daily, the principle of how the character Lamiel acts.
That definitely overlapped with Yeon Seon-ye in some aspects.
'Maternal love.'
Setting aside her viewers who go mammammamang every time, Ji-yeon had actually tried to express that.
Probably, it was such aspects that matched.
Once her decision was made, the next was simple.
She took what she could extract from Lamiel and expressed it in Yeon Seon-ye.
And, she honestly didn't know how well it was expressed.
"Hmm."
Right now at the audition hall, Director Baek Min was just looking at Ji-yeon with a calm smile.
"Good acting."
That was the only evaluation.
There were no other embellished words or detailed acting direction.
Those who were in earlier slots than her at least had some words, but Ji-yeon had nothing particular.
Did she do it wrong?
Feeling a bit deflated, Ji-yeon bowed her head and stepped back.
Anyway, it would take time for the results to come out, so she had plenty of time to collect herself.
Looking at Ji-yeon's back.
"Director."
"Yes?"
The judges casually asked Director Baek Min, who had said nothing.
"Was it not good?"
At those words, Director Baek Min only smiled softly.
***
Seo Yeon had been slightly holding back since Ji-yeon's audition ended.
The reason being, Director Baek Min hadn't given any proper evaluation at the audition hall.
When she subtly asked Jo Seo-hee about what was said behind.
"I can't tell you that."
It was an extremely cold remark.
Jo Seo-hee, this bad girl.
Anyway, honor student, model student.
It wasn't for nothing that such epithets chased after her; Jo Seo-hee was very thorough in that regard.
Of course, Jo Seo-hee rather found Seo Yeon's reaction puzzling.
'Lee Ji-yeon's acting was really fine though?'
Could it be that she was angry then because she didn't like the acting?
Jo Seo-hee's doubts only grew deeper.
"Originally, the results would be notified after a week… but."
"But?"
"A problem has come up now, so I'm not sure. Still, it won't be particularly late."
A problem came up?
Those words probably meant that a problem had occurred with Director Baek Min's movie now.
"That's… I'll tell you later. Since you're participating in this movie too, you need to know."
It just meant she couldn't say it because of Director Baek Min's words.
Seo Yeon nodded quietly.
Anyway, Seo Yeon finished her conversation with Jo Seo-hee like that.
'I should lay low for a while.'
Such was the conclusion.
After all, it was a situation where it wasn't even clear when the audition results would come out.
Though she might seem clueless, Seo Yeon was actually very good at reading the room.
At least until the audition results came out, Lee Ji-yeon would also be in quite low spirits.
She didn't cling unnecessarily at school, nor did she whine with annoying words.
Especially during Lamiel's stream, she only sent a modest 10,000 won each in Super Chats, and only wrote mild words.
'Seeing how she keeps the stream times strictly even in that situation, she's really diligent.'
Jo Seo-hee and Lee Ji-yeon were similar in that regard.
Rather, Seo Yeon was relatively generous in that aspect.
"Ah, it airs today, right?"
Like that, Seo Yeon also focused on her backed-up schedule as much as possible.
First, the advertisement.
A meeting to schedule the ADIZ advertisement she had contracted right before.
"First, the filming is scheduled to start from next week. I heard
"Yes, that's right."
At the point where 6 episodes of the drama had been filmed.
From then, the broadcast would begin in earnest.
A Wednesday-Thursday drama.
For reference, the drama that PD Baek was in charge of was scheduled as a Monday-Tuesday drama.
It had gathered prominent actors.
The screenwriter was also a star screenwriter.
Because of that, internally there was even talk of it being a mock battle between Drama Department 1 and Drama Department 2, which would be divided later.
Losing here wouldn't bring an immediate blow, but for those currently pondering which side to go to, it would serve as a certain indicator.
"
"Yes."
Actually, ADIZ had already sponsored
Because of that, the chairs appearing in the broadcast were generally ADIZ's.
"Then we need to set the broadcast concept, and you mentioned an intellectual image. There's nothing else besides that, right?"
At the words of Kwak Hyun-woo, head of ADIZ's advertising planning team, Seo Yeon nodded.
"Yes, that much is fine for me."
It was good that they would reflect the actor's opinion to some extent.
Well, she had originally demanded that and had her pay cut.
"Ah, by any chance does our chair appear in this variety show too?"
"……."
Seo Yeon hesitated a bit before nodding.
It does appear, it does appear.
"Ah, it does. Well, since you're a student, a chair you sit on while studying would appear."
Of course it appears for that reason too.
And it also appears somewhat threateningly.
However, Seo Yeon didn't particularly say that.
'The PD might have edited it.'
Her own mistake for not being able to bear teasing Young-bin.
Knowing it was filming, she didn't say it thinking Young-bin would shrink, but she should have just said it.
'A slightly healthy image should be fine.'
Even if it wasn't edited, that much should be okay.
Seo Yeon desperately thought so.
"I'm looking forward to it. I'll have to watch starting from this variety show to some extent."
At Kwak Hyun-woo's hearty laugh and words, Seo Yeon nodded with an ambiguous smile.
Because it was clear that the ADIZ chair would appear on broadcast in a completely different way than Kwak Hyun-woo expected.

- Is today the day Joo Seo-yeon's variety show comes out?
- It's tomorrow
Joo Seo-yeon's fan cafe was already bustling.
Since Seo Yeon showed a new side every time on variety shows, the number of people looking forward to what kind of appearance she would show this time had increased.
- Lately there are kids constantly slandering our Seo-yeon, tone it down
- fr lol it's all just that Dotdom one punch ㅋㅋ
- Isn't that fabricated?
- no real if you slow it down you can see the hit well
With the
There were even rumors that she was putting more effort into variety shows than acting lately.
- But don't actors usually do that?
- How many actors film multiple works a year
- true
- For Joo Seo-yeon's level she's faithfully doing actor work fr
- But is Golden Duckling fun? I don't watch observation variety shows at all
- That latest episode became an ability battle thing and got boring
- ??????
Like that, the short preview for
The footage was only about 15 seconds.
Seo Yeon studying diligently and the family members caught on camera were captured and uploaded to the fan cafe.
Of course, with the short video length, that footage wasn't much.
- No who is that woman
- Joo Seo-yeon's mom?
- How is it her mom, can't you tell at a glance it's her older sister
- Wow I thought Joo Seo-yeon was pretty big but wow this is real wow
- Genes are crazy
The first debate about the preview was about who the woman bringing fruit to the studying Seo Yeon was.
Since her appearance was only a few seconds, sighs of regret were predominant.
Then the man who appeared.
At first, there was no particular talk with people just thinking he was Joo Seo-yeon's father.
But a post capturing that went up on the community, and public opinion reversed.
- Isn't that person Joo Young-bin???
- Who's that???
- Was he the development team leader of Unchained? Right?
- yeah saw him at the press conference. One of the people bowing their heads then
- He must have moved from Unchained
- But Unchained is normalized now
- That person took responsibility for that and wrapped it up before moving
- Ah fr?
The planning team leader of Unchained, which was Raywill Games' flagship title for a while.
As that fact was revealed, the community began to burn in earnest.
