At Seo-yeon's appearance, the waiting reporters flashed their cameras and took photos.
At the sound, the idol trainee next to Gil Da-hyun, Jeong Ha-jin, was startled and tried to cling to Seo-yeon.
Because she could benefit from tagging along in the photos.
'Wait.'
Jeong Ha-jin, who had hastily stepped forward, suddenly stopped.
'Is it really a benefit?'
Jeong Ha-jin stared at Seo-yeon in front of her.
The sight of Seo-yeon standing there covering both her ears with her hands was objectively too cute.
The outfit itself had a visual closer to pretty or beautiful, but separately, people couldn't take their eyes off her shy appearance.
It was a different side of Seo-yeon from her usual self.
It was a different kind of shyness from the time of Seo-yeon's 'Magical Girl Harara' performance, which had briefly been an issue.
'Whatever!'
Still, it's better than not being photographed at all!
Thinking so, she quietly slipped between Da-hyun and Seo-yeon, but...
"Who is that next to Actress Joo Seo-yeon?"
"Well..."
"But she's brave, to think of standing confidently next to her."
"Seeing as her looks aren't bad, maybe an idol trainee somewhere? Something like that?"
"Hmm~."
A few reporters tilted their heads looking at Jeong Ha-jin.
Everyone was keeping their mouths shut, but they just thought it was a foolish act.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Seo-yeon, and even if they glanced to the side, it would only create an unnecessary comparison.
'Even at a glance, the difference in head size is apparent.'
It wasn't that the woman standing next to her had a big head.
It was just that Seo-yeon's head was small.
Moreover, Seo-yeon had good proportions, so standing next to her naturally led to comparisons.
I don't know if she intended to use Seo-yeon, but with that, she ended up being the one used instead.
"Wow, she's insanely pretty."
The voices of the reporters filming Seo-yeon; Song Yong-ho, an internet streamer who had been quietly listening to those words, also hurriedly turned on his broadcast.
Because he was so busy looking at Seo-yeon that he forgot to turn on the video.
"It's on, it's on. I said Actress Joo Seo-yeon is here?"
- Really?
- Is this a big one???
"Look over there, there."
- Why is she dressed so flashy alone?
"They say she misunderstood the dress code."
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- That is Joo Seo-yeon ㅋㅋㅋ
- First time seeing her, is that Joo Seo-yeon? She's cuter than what I heard???
The viewers who were half-hearted when Song Yong-ho first said he'd film this video also started showing interest as they saw Seo-yeon's ensuing reactions.
That was natural, as Seo-yeon's subsequent actions were exceptionally cute.
'I'm the only one with the video, right? This is definitely going to be a huge hit, huge hit!'
In the video, Seo-yeon looked at her outfit and sighed.
Then she shook her head as if making an excuse, and Lee Ji-yeon could be seen approaching Seo-yeon.
Perhaps embarrassed by dressing so flashily alone, she tried to cover her clothes for no reason, but fortunately, they couldn't be hidden.
Eventually, Seo-yeon's gaze, who had been shaking her head as if looking for someone, headed toward Song Yong-ho.
'Oh, she's looking this way. Total gain.'
She probably didn't notice that he was secretly filming with his phone camera.
Huh? Then why is she looking this way?
The moment he had that thought.
"Unauthorized filming is not allowed~."
A woman dressed in a neat suit appeared and snatched Song Yong-ho's phone.
Then, she turned off the phone that was streaming the video and handed it back to him.
"You're the student who had a similar incident last time, right?"
"Yes? Ah, no. It wasn't me..."
"Anyway, please come outside. Really, manage these things properly."
At the woman's quiet words, Song Yong-ho flinched and had no choice but to be quietly kicked out.
He hadn't even done anything in earnest yet, but to think he'd be kicked out like this.
'W-Well, at least I filmed what I needed to.'
Since it was already a live broadcast, the video was already uploaded to the internet.
That alone would definitely be a significant gain.
Because he was the only one who filmed the video.
However, unlike Song Yong-ho's thoughts, no additional traffic came into his YouTube video.
"Ah~ I didn't expect to be kicked out like this. Huh? What?"
Song Yong-ho, who turned the broadcast back on as soon as he stepped outside, felt something was strange.
There were definitely about three thousand people waiting for his broadcast, but in the meantime, only a few hundred remained.
As he looked at the camera with a weird feeling, a viewer who seemed to read his mind said,
- Everyone went to watch the rest of the video
"Yes? What do you mean?"
- Joo Seo-yeon's agency is broadcasting it live on their official YouTube.
"Yes?? What on earth..."
Hurriedly entering Nova Entertainment's YouTube, a video that was being broadcast live was uploaded.
Naturally, the video quality was much better than Song Yong-ho's clumsy phone camera filming, and Seo-yeon's appearance was shown from various angles.
"W-Wait a minute. Then..."
Song Yong-ho roughly understood the situation.
In other words, his viewers had been sucked over to that side instead.
Literally, he had just done the advertising for them.
Moreover, if he looked, his video had already spread to communities.
- What, Joo Seo-yeon is broadcasting? What is that place?
- They said it's a high school year-end party?
- Do high schoolers these days do that kind of thing??? But where can I watch it?
- Some YouTuber uploaded this video, but if you want to watch it properly, go to the official YouTube, it's live right now
- Thanks
Such posts were going up in large numbers.
Of course, an official video broadcasted by a company would be much easier to watch than a video filmed by a mere high school YouTuber.
'Th-This is not good.'
Of course, it would be a temporary situation, but even so, it was clear that subscribers were being drained away.
Above all, it also meant that the video he filmed today had become completely meaningless.
- Tsk tsk, acting like a thug, I knew it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- You did that once before too, do it in moderation, I'm unsubscribing
A situation where only bad comments were piled up instead.
Song Yong-ho could feel his mind going dizzy.
Because he had done something unnecessary and ended up digging his own grave instead.
"Thank you for telling me, Reporter."
"It's nothing."
Park Eun-ha bowed and greeted the female reporter smiling at her.
She was a reporter who always wrote good things about the various movies and dramas Seo-yeon appeared in.
'Was her name Reporter Han Sun-a?'
Reporter Han Sun-a, who was filming Seo-yeon, discovered Song Yong-ho secretly filming and told Park Eun-ha.
Fortunately, no particularly bad words came out, but these internet streamers often say unnecessary things to stimulate their viewers.
"Then we'll be leaving now, since filming is only allowed at the very beginning."
"Yes, ah, but Summer Fairy is coming too, so you don't need to film that?"
"That's a part we didn't get permission for."
Actually, there wasn't much more to film anyway.
Some reporters expressed dissatisfaction, but the sight of Seo-yeon appearing at the beginning.
And just the photos of her being embarrassed were already plenty of material to film.
Even at movie award ceremonies, it's rare for articles to be published with footage from inside the ceremony.
Watching the reporters quietly leaving with Han Sun-a, Park Eun-ha sighed in relief inwardly.
'As expected, asking a reporter you know is the best for this kind of thing.'
Park Eun-ha smiled slightly as she watched the video of Seo-yeon's party that was being filmed separately.
The viewers' reactions to seeing Seo-yeon's flustered appearance were truly explosive.
'Well, it's a gain from Seo-yeon's perspective.'
Especially for Seo-yeon, who was thinking about her recent image, it could be said to be a very good thing.
***
"Hey, Joo Seo-yeon, what the heck is that look?"
Feeling the heat rising on her face, Seo-yeon couldn't help but flinch at Lee Ji-yeon's rebuke.
What the heck is that look?
'No, you said it was a party outfit.'
Seo-yeon felt unjustly accused. But since it was somewhat self-inflicted, she had nothing to say.
After all, wasn't this dress the result of her and her coordinator getting carried away?
"You're totally determined to stand out alone."
"It's a misunderstanding."
Saying that, Seo-yeon understood Cho Seo-hee's feelings a little.
Because what she was saying now felt similar to what Cho Seo-hee always said.
"What misunderstanding? Seeing that outfit, what misunderstanding would there be?"
"...M-More than that, didn't you say you'd be late today?"
"Right, but I came early because I was worried about you. Heh, but seeing your look, you were totally intent on just enjoying yourself."
She really had no words.
Seo-yeon looked down at her outfit.
A flashy black dress, with impressive red ruby decorations, it was definitely not a dress a high school student would wear.
Even touching her face, she could feel the heavier makeup than usual.
Turning her gaze, the female students were admiring.
The male students stared blankly.
'So that's an actress.'
'Wow, she's really no joke.'
Everyone felt that way, but to Seo-yeon, it just felt like they were looking at her with eyes saying, 'Wow, did she catch celebrity disease?'
No, it's not like that. It's really unfair.
"Anyway, Joo Seo-yeon."
"Yeah?"
"Take this, the camera."
"...Why?"
"Once the party starts in earnest, the staff can't film, so you film yourself well for a vlog."
It seemed they had also gotten permission from the school.
'No, why! ...No, wait, I feel like I was the one who said it.'
Before the party started, Seo-yeon had separately asked Da-hyun.
'If it's okay to film things like a vlog.'
To that, Da-hyun had definitely replied,
"Since we're going to film various things before the party starts for school promotional purposes anyway, wouldn't it be okay? Also, a vlog only features yourself, so it might be fine?"
Actually, Seo-yeon hadn't really intended to film.
She just asked in case she could.
Thinking that if she showed the everyday Joo Seo-yeon at the party, she might be able to reduce the recently trending Bear Rider meme even a little.
Seo-yeon was literally doing her best in managing her image.
"You have to do what you said you'd do."
"..."
At Ji-yeon's words, Seo-yeon accepted the selfie stick.
She never thought the day would come when she would use a selfie stick in her life.
"H-How do I hold this and what do I do?"
"How would I know, I've never done it."
Sometimes she thinks.
Lee Ji-yeon is a really cold-hearted fellow.
Anyway, it seemed the video being broadcast was the company's official video.
"Lee Ji-yeon, you have to come out with me too. You belong to our agency too."
"...What? I-I don't want to. It's embarrassing to come out on something like that."
"No, then what about me?"
"You even put on proper makeup. If I stand next to you who did it with all your heart, how do you think I'll look?"
...Is that so?
Seo-yeon couldn't bring herself to argue back against Ji-yeon's words.
Unlike Ji-yeon, who had ordinary high school girl makeup, Seo-yeon had full-on serious makeup.
Naturally, they would inevitably be compared.
"Seo-yeon, if it's too burdensome, shall I help you out?"
At those words, Da-hyun, who had been quietly listening, spoke.
Since it wouldn't be a problem for her even if her face got known anyway.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
At Da-hyun's appearance, Jeong Ha-jin, who had been quietly listening from the side, made an 'oh no' face.
To think there was a way to butt in like that.
"Um, me too..."
"Not you."
"..."
Jeong Ha-jin's action was blocked by Lee Ji-yeon, who was next to her.
Jeong Ha-jin closed her mouth at Ji-yeon's gaze, which was looking at her with cold eyes.
For a mere idol trainee to mess with, Ji-yeon was too terrifying of an existence.
In terms of recognition as an actress, Seo-yeon was currently higher, but that didn't mean Ji-yeon's was low.
She was clearly an actress who had appeared in supporting roles in cable dramas before.
Didn't she also recently take on the lead role in a movie?
'Even the delinquents tread lightly around her...'
Moreover, among the first-year female student factions in school, the largest was Lee Ji-yeon's.
If she needlessly offended her, her high school life could become very exhausting.
'Why is there no school violence controversy?'
She was genuinely curious.
No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like there should be one...
Like that, Jeong Ha-jin had no choice but to quietly step back.
"Then, now that the event preparations are also finished. Students, please enjoy the party."
The reporters had also left, and the only filming left was the selfie stick and camera in Seo-yeon's hands.
In the auditorium, which had been briefly chaotic due to Seo-yeon's appearance, the 'Promenade' began in earnest.

[A Glimpse into the Charms of an Ordinary(?) High School Student, Joo Seo-yeon's Year-End Party]
[I Misunderstood the Dress Code!! Actress Joo Seo-yeon's Reversal Charm]
[We're Besties~, Joo Seo-yeon and Lee Ji-yeon's Friendship on Display]
Yeonhwa High School's year-end party had a few brief articles published.
Of course, it didn't receive much attention, but they were articles enough to satisfy Seo-yeon's fans.
Above all, the school's promotion was done properly.
Just looking at the comments posted there, the school teachers would naturally break into smiles.
Above all, the most talked-about thing was the vlog of Seo-yeon's party uploaded to the company's official account.
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm watching Joo Seo-yeon's vlog right now, why is she like this
- She speaks so politely ㅋㅋㅋㅋ it totally shows she's never done this kind of thing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The video showed Seo-yeon walking around the party holding a selfie stick.
Her awkward dancing, or her inability to properly converse with the students.
"Sh-Should I dance or something? But, how should I..."
- Ugh, frustrating. Can't she just grab anyone and dance?
- Is this a concept, or is it real?
YW9peUx5cktZYXhyU2hzY1VsMkQ0UWR1bVpYL2FGUzIrc2hZWi93M0pRODc5dS9YTDZHeGduQkdPc3o1NSt4dw
"Seo-yeon, do you want to dance with me if you want to dance?"
"I've never danced before..."
"I'll teach you, it's not hard."
"Yeah."
- What can't the class president do? She speaks well. Dances well too.
- Tier 1 Joo Seo-yeon tamer ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
"You shouldn't use the word 'taming' for a friend."
- Yes sir
- The class president would do well if she goes into entertainment
Somehow, even though it was her own vlog, Gil Da-hyun ended up leading the situation.
But it couldn't be helped.
Doing a live broadcast like this is harder than it looks.
'Ah, this is harder than I thought.'
Once again, Seo-yeon was amazed by Lee Ji-yeon, who was standing next to her with her arms crossed, just watching.
Speaking without hesitation on a live broadcast is also a talent.
Once again, isn't her talent as a VTuber endlessly lacking?
To the point where she felt that way.
Anyway, unlike Seo-yeon's sorrowful thoughts, the broadcast itself was highly praised.
Da-hyun hosted it, but ultimately, the main character was Seo-yeon.
Just by seeing her various sides, the viewers couldn't help but enjoy it.
- Rather than other kids finding Joo Seo-yeon intimidating, Joo Seo-yeon is the one intimidated by the other kids
- If you look closely, Joo Seo-yeon can't even make eye contact properly ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- Just looking at Joo Seo-yeon's impression, she looked really strong, but I guess not
- For real, if it weren't for the girl walking next to her, she wouldn't have even been able to communicate properly
- The girl next to her is cute, she speaks clearly and well
- Isn't it practically not Joo Seo-yeon's vlog, but the class president's vlog next to her?
- But is Summer Fairy close with Joo Seo-yeon? To the point of performing at her school
- Yeah, they're close
The lively appearance she showed on entertainment shows.
Unlike the cold and haughty girl she showed in movies and dramas, the girl at school was just an ordinary girl.
Instead, so much of her being intimidated by the students was filmed that people wondered, is she actually a bit of an outcast at school??
To the point where it gave that impression.
- Nah ㅋㅋㅋ It's just image management ㅋㅋㅋ
- For someone doing that, it seems like she only has two friends?
- Still, she's cute so it's fine
- Her being embarrassed about wearing the wrong dress alone at first is for real ㅋㅋㅋ
- I became a Joo Seo-yeon fan after seeing that, which movie should I watch first?
- Watch The Chaser first
└ Recommending that to someone who said Joo Seo-yeon is cute, aren't you crazy? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Like that, Seo-yeon's truth that wasn't a truth spread to the communities, and the meme of Seo-yeon fighting all kinds of creatures paused for a moment.
That was how much Seo-yeon's appearance as she first entered the party hall became a huge topic.
The sight of Seo-yeon coming in wearing a different dress alone and being embarrassed.
Just this scene alone was clipped and spread across various communities.
And, Su-ah, who saw this scene.
"...Seo-yeon really is her mother's daughter."
"..."
"Sister, she's like mom."
"That's a weird thing to say."
Honestly, she didn't know it would be a carbon copy of her own high school life to that extent.
