Chapter 130
A real brawl had begun.
[Shin Yuhwa’s side, ‘Ryeo-yu’s unilateral stalking’]
[Ryeo-yu’s side, ‘All shameless lies’… What is the outcome of the truth battle?]
[Ryeo-yu, sharply rebuts Shin Yuhwa’s statement]
Wait a minute.
What on earth was going on?
I had sent two gifts to Shin Yuhwa.
One was the video of him pushing me.
The other was an article written by Star Patch.
Upon seeing the video I had sent earlier, Shin Yuhwa immediately sensed his downfall and became very compliant.
Shin Yuhwa
You’re not going to release this, are you???
Please, just don’t release this one
Please
Then, when he received the article, he began to waver and completely turned around after hearing a word from CEO Hong.
Even if Director Kim is out, we will consider the investment positively, so think about who is actually in the right now.
It seemed he hadn’t expected Director Kim to backstab him so quickly.
From the start, he should have trusted the right person.
The only thing I suggested to Shin Yuhwa was this:
‘Change the subject of the article.’
Instead of Shin Yuhwa stalking Kim Ryeo-yu, it should be that Kim Ryeo-yu stalked Shin Yuhwa.
Shin Yuhwa
How you use the article is up to you.
Even with just a subtle hint, Shin Yuhwa’s side understood perfectly.
Of course, all this communication was done through a different phone line that Secretary Yeon set up for me.
All the contact was made as if I was an anonymous member of Colors, leaving my name out of it.
As if I had never been involved in this at all.
Anyway.
The atmosphere on the internet changed instantly.
I knew this would happen
What did I tell you?
Look at Shin Yuhwa’s face, does he seem like that kind of person?
Just by looking, you can tell Kim Ryeo-yu obsessively followed him
Don’t you know Kim Ryeo-yu’s notorious personality?
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice??
Kim Ryeo-yu’s fans, please wake up
Even if Shin Yuhwa is innocent, there’s the Pia scandal, isn’t there?
└22222 They conveniently leave out the Pia partㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So transparent, it’s funny
Even if Kim Ryeo-yu was Shin Yuhwa’s stalker, it doesn’t change the fact that Shin Yuhwa hit Pia~ Both should go to jail
└Please, let them both get locked up^^
Maybe Pia was also stalked one-sidedly and is lying now;
└22222222 How can we believe Pia’s words?
└└Shin Yuhwa’s fans are legendary; how can they not leave him seeing this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└└└True fans, indeed; may you all stay together forever
However.
Something emerged that could end this entire brawl.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Pia’s side released a voice recording
(Audio)
It’s a recording of a call with Shin Yuhwa
Listen^^
It’s legendary
-OMG, what a crazy person
-Really insane;;; He’s a criminal
Pia, transcribed voice recording with Shin Yuhwa
Shin Yuhwa: Kim Ryeo-yu’s dad (beep) directly contacted me to mess with the kids
Pia: What do you mean mess with them?
Shin Yuhwa: What do you think? To tarnish their reputation a bit
Pia: How…?
Shin Yuhwa: I don’t know, he asked me to start some dating scandals. Of course, I refused; I was just going to get involved and then pull out
Pia: Isn’t that dangerous? What about you, oppa?
Shin Yuhwa: Anyway, that woman’s family is so powerful they can cover it all up. You know Kim Mokyung is a Director at Colors
Pia: Isn’t it her uncle? Her dad?
Shin Yuhwa: They say it’s her dad?
Pia: But do we really have to do this? Anyway, it means you have to get involved with them
Shin Yuhwa: We can just spin it that (beep) kids were following me around. Her family is the head of Star Patch
The parts where (beep) is written are where Pia’s side deliberately masked the audio.
Probably to protect the victim.
By the way, they also mentioned it’s not Kim Ryeo-yu
This is truly legendary
It’s all blowing upㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
There has never been an idol like this…
What is Kim Mokyung even doing…?
It’s a whole Shin Yuhwa gate
Isn’t this a case of agency bribery? Did Shin Yuhwa go crazy and listen to Kim Mokyung? This needs to be investigated;;;
The chilling part is there aren’t just one or two people involved;
Shin Yuhwa
Kim Ryeo-yu & Kim Mokyung (revealed to be Kim Ryeo-yu’s dad)
(New)! Star Patch chief Kim Hwang-gi (presumed to be Kim Mokyung’s cousin)
It’s clear how ruthless this family is
They need to be eradicated from the entertainment industry
Now I understand why trainees at New Color couldn’t touch Kim Ryeo-yu
The media is completely controlled by the top of the entertainment industry, no wonder they couldn’t do anything;;
It was truly relentless, relentless to the point that it was connected to Star Patch, damn…
I was genuinely worried about Pia’s safety.
So what was this about?
Why was Shin Yuhwa involved with Kim Ryeo-yu then?
Why were they photographed together?????
No one could know…
It was the mystery of the century.
Ryeo-yu, go live and reveal all the truths; it’s your only way to survive.
Did they meet to conspire together and get photographed?
└Oh my, is it this?
└└This must be itㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ
Isn’t this the truth?
Kim Ryeo-yu and Shin Yuhwa: they were dating
Kim Ryeo-yu & Kim Mokyung instigated Shin Yuhwa: Start a scandal with (?)
After the photos of Kim Ryeo-yu and Shin Yuhwa were revealed: Shin Yuhwa cut ties, didn’t he?
Oh, this must be it
Yes, this is it
Then who is that (?)?
└Don’t try to identify it; it could be secondary harmㅡㅡ
└└Trying to identify the victim even in this situation…
They’re all just trash
Colors, what are you doing?
If you don’t cut off Kim Mokyung now, you’ll prove that you’re all in cahoots, you know that, right?
This is the last chance
CEO Hong, please come to your senses and come back
Hong… I’ll take back all the bad things I said, just come back and fix this…
Don’t fail, you wretchesㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I’m scared that all the idols under you will be screwed if this continuesㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I don’t worry about Colors, but I’m worried about my idols there, so don’t fail, you wretches, cut off Kim Mokyung and fix this quickly
By the time the public opinion had somewhat settled.
Colors released a statement.
Colors issued a statement.
In summary, it was as follows:
1. Kim Mokyung and Kim Ryeo-yu’s actions had no relation to Colors and were done independently.
2. Colors terminated their contract with Kim Ryeo-yu and immediately dismissed Director Kim.
3. Colors planned to proceed with a civil lawsuit independently, and if a police investigation was to be conducted, they would actively cooperate.

“Everyone, stop looking at the internet articles.”
Today was December 31st.
The VCR recording had already finished.
Only the live broadcast recording remained.
During a brief break, the waiting room was filled with four pairs of sparkling eyes.
“But it’s so interesting right now.”
“Every hour there’s a new legend.”
“How can someone do such things wearing a human mask?!”
Kim Geum and Yeon Juhong shook their heads.
“It seems like karma really exists.”
Ryu Bo-ra added her comment.
“How can someone fail so smoothly alone?”
…To be precise, it wasn’t entirely alone.
The fact that I worked very hard would remain a secret for now.
Of course, I hadn’t expected Pia to release a voice recording.
In my past life, Pia hadn’t released any voice recordings.
Why did she do it this time?
The reason… would be known someday.
The members knew nothing.
They only thought Kim Ryeo-yu and Shin Yuhwa had fallen apart on their own.
It seemed CEO Hong also hadn’t told Seo Baek-young anything.
Well, even if she had, it wouldn’t have mattered much.
If she had told them, I would have tried to explain it somehow.
I usually tried to be honest with the members, but this time, I couldn’t.
It wasn’t for my sake, but for the members’ sake.
If I told them, it might make me feel better.
But it would make the members uncomfortable.
For various reasons.
They might be scared of me, or they might be disappointed in me.
Frankly, I wouldn’t blame them.
Not informing the members and shouldering it alone could indeed make them feel betrayed.
But how could I tell them something like this?
To the kids preparing for the year-end stage as if it were their whole world.
“CEO Hong returned so timely and handled everything.”
“Yeah. All three were sinking together, but she responded very firmly.”
“It feels like she was waiting for this moment.”
Surprisingly, they had caught on to the essence right away.
I listened to the members chatting without saying a word.
Seo Baek-young also seemed to be listening with a slightly troubled feeling.
Ahem.
Shall I change the topic a bit?
“In about three hours, we will have the New Year’s countdown.”
“Oh, that’s right!”
Yeon Juhong smiled brightly and jumped around.
“I’m turning 18 now!”
“…I’m now at the age to take the college entrance exam….”
“Why do you dislike the entrance exam? It’s just taking a test.”
Ryu Bo-ra asked with a genuinely puzzled look.
“No, you have to study to take the entrance exam!”
“Are you going to college…?”
“…No?!”
“Why should I go to college…? I need to continue my idol activities. In two years, we’ll be at our peak.”
It was truly a confusing conversation.
But it was also enjoyable.
It’s really a good thing that the members’ biggest worry was whether to go to college or not.
Deciding whom to bring down and how was too bleak of a matter, so let that be something only I do.
By the way, two years later.
It was a strange feeling.
I wouldn’t be here in two years.
Winning the Rookie of the Year award was my final mission.
The time I had left with the members… was only about a year at most.
So what would happen then?
To this world, to Steel Blue.
“I’ll give you both career counseling later. For now, let’s go up. It’s our turn to perform.”
“Wow. I’m really becoming a high school senior. From a composing machine to a college entrance exam machine.”
“When Geum studies, I’ll study next to her too! Cheong is good at English, so can’t she teach us?!”
“Cheong is busy. We need to figure out our studies on our own.”
“Haha. I’m 21, but since I’ve never taken the college entrance exam, I won’t be much help.”
What will happen to Yoon Cheong and the members?
Will they just… disappear like this?
