Superstar From Age 0

-…Ah…as expected. The production team must have cast Park Ee-deun for this reason. Park Ee-deun is not a regular on terrestrial channels, so I think our Seo-jun squeezed him in…but is the agency doing whatever they want just because they renewed the contract? Our Seo-jun must be busy with filming Babel Towerㅠㅠ

-…???

-You can tell this is a newbie by the way they say ‘our Seo-jun’?

-Aren't Park Ee-deun and Lee Seo-jun friends? But newbies don't seem to like Blue Moon very much?

Before the bad feelings between the newbies and the Blue Moon fans could grow, a new comment was posted.

=No no no no no no×2837941

=I can refute that this is not a newbie. Just wait. But I don't know where to start;;;

-1) The production team must have cast Park Ee-deun for this reason.

Production team: …Huh?? Us??

Broadcasting station: If Lee Seo-jun was coming, we would have only invited Blue Moon! But he didn't!

He never appeared when we fixed BrBl, white, and Red Crown, who have known him longer than Blue Moon.

Park Ee-deun is not a regular on terrestrial channels.

There is no idol group as successful as Blue Moon lately.

They are the first choice for casting.

This comment was probably written by a fan of an idol group that hates Blue Moon.

There is an idol group that they subtly defend in their previous posts, but I won't reveal their name.

=3) Our Seo-jun

He's not yours (angry)

I think our Seo-jun squeezed him in.

What?? Seo-jun squeezed him in??

This is connected to 1), but if he squeezed him in, he would have appeared sooner.

=5) Just because they renewed the contract.

This is true. Everyone expected it, so there weren't many articles about it.

Is the agency doing whatever they want?

Do some research before you use someone else. Seo-jun would have done whatever he wanted, cocoa has no powerㅠㅠ

-You're not a newbie if you don't know this. [[

=7) Our Seo-jun

He's not yours, I said (angry22)

He must be busy with filming Babel Tower

Do some research222 There were many articles about him being the lead role, but it's a cameo. A cameo. It's widely known among the newbies that he will only appear for a short time in one episode.

8-1) Learn some spacing too. FilmingVbecause

8-2) BusyVhe must be.

=9) The newbies like Blue Moon because of [Blue Moon]. There are many people who like Blue Moon fans, even if they are not fans themselves. They think of them as ‘Seo-jun's friends! Our friends!’ They like their friend chemistry.

So get lost with your bait!!

Let us see Seo-jun on TV!!

-I feel like crying. This newbieㅋㅋㅋ

=Lee Seo-jun will probably be edited out. If there is a controversy, who knows what will happen to the broadcastㅋㅋ

=And his image will get worse too.

-5) is also wrong. RenewedX Re-signedO

=ㅋㅋThere's nothing rightㅋㅋ

-They probably pretended to be a newbie to bash Blue Moon. Since we are big, there will be some people who agree with them and it will look big.

=22 If they wrote an article as a newbie, they would have gotten a lot of attention and controversial articles too.

=33 But there are too many newbiesㅋㅋThe rebuttal comments came up in secondsㅋㅋ

=44 They blocked everything before the rumor spreadㅋㅋ

=55 Newbies see the daytime comments, and newbies see the nighttime comments too. Newbies are everywhere and anytime. Even on the site you are on(ㅁ)

=Scaryㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The real reaction of newbies: Seo-jun is on TV!!(Happy)

=True that's all they think aboutㅋㅋ

=I wish they would make him a regular on some variety show. So we can see him every week.

=[Blue Moon] When we watched music shows, we could see him on Fri-Sat-Sun but ㅠㅠBeing an actor fan is hard ㅠ

=But we can see Seo-jun next week ㅠㅠ On TV ㅠㅠ

-Cocoa Entertainment ㅋㅋ They have no power ㅋㅋ But it's true (serious)

=Investor: Lee Seo-jun / President: Lee Seo-jun's uncle / Lee Seo-jun has a separate independent team /That's why ㅋㅋThe manager has seen Seo-jun since he was young and coos over him ㅋㅋ

=+) And Cocoa listens to the opinions of celebrities a lot.

-He's not yours. Too funny ㅋㅋ

=They emphasized it twice ㅋㅋ

-Blue Moon and Blue Moon fans must be having a hard time too.

=22 Seo-jun's friends! Our friends!

=33 If the friends get uncomfortable because of the fans (even if it's a false rumor), seo-jun and Blue Moon will be sad too, so let's get along ㅠㅠ

-…I'm a Blue Moon fan. I came here after hearing the story, but the situation is over;;;

=22 This is like having a strong backer ㅋㅋ

***

The weekend passed quickly, and on Monday afternoon.

Lim Ye-na and Song Yu-jung were chatting at a cafe.

“Why did they use Seo-jun's name to compete with Blue Moon? It's a good thing we saw it early… It could have caused a useless rumor. If it was Seo-jun's name, there would have been a lot of articles!”

“There are some people like that. People who pretend to be fans of others. Some of them even get seats and attend broadcasts as if they were fans of rookie idols, but comments are nothing…”

Lim Ye-na, who had posted rebuttal comments from 1) to 10), nodded at Song Yu-jung's words.

“Well, the actor side is also not joking about competing. They make rumors and hate it when other actors get attention in the work. Ugh. It stresses me out! Let's eat something spicy today!”

“Yeah. Let's do that.”

Song Yu-jung said as she drank her vanilla latte.

“I wish it was next Saturday already. So we can see Seo-jun.”

“Exactly.”

Ding.

At that moment, song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na's phone notifications rang at the same time. The two quickly picked up their phones.

“Wow. Seo-jun uploaded a video on YouTube?”

“It looks like a cooking and eating show.”

They saw thumbnails of videos of Seo-jun cooking and eating alone.

They looked at the two videos that were uploaded, and after a moment of silence, song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na looked at each other.

“Let's pack it and eat it at home.”

“I was thinking the same thing!”

Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na laughed out loud.

***

“Actor Lee Seo-jun is doing an eating show?”

Kang Soo-jung PD, who was in the editing room, sank into serious thought at Oh Young-chul's words.

Kang Soo-jung PD had been editing the second episode from the beginning again, half because of the messages from the parents that arrived from Saturday night, saying ‘The kids are eating!!’.

Those messages were still coming until now, Monday evening, with the question ‘Why do they eat so well?!’.

“…Does that have an effect on the kids too?”

“I don't know yet. It seems like only Lee Seo-jun's fans are watching it right now. Usually celebrities don't show their eating shows to kids.”

“Well, unless they are children's channel YouTubers…”

They didn't think they would show the adults’ mukbang to the kids.

‘Besides, I doubt that it would have the same effect every time.’

PD Kang Soo-jung thought that it was just a lucky coincidence that day that the mukbang worked. But what had happened once (baby mukbang) had happened twice (filming), and there was no rule that it wouldn't happen a third time (this mukbang).

“But if it does have an effect… would the attention shift to them? No, no. The video would have more impact than the reviews, so the interest wouldn't decrease. Rather, they might be curious if it's real and watch our show…”

PD Kang Soo-jung muttered to herself.

“It's rare for parents to show their kids Seo-jun's mukbang… Should we spread it ourselves? Would that be better? This week? No. It might be too soon… Next week? Maybe next week is better?”

The assistant director shrugged his shoulders as if he was used to PD Kang Soo-jung's behavior.

***

On Sunday, seo-jun filmed a cookbang where he cooked for Subin and Eun-su and tested the limits of [The Invited Gourmet Orc]. On Monday, he uploaded a mukbang where he ate alone.

And until today, saturday, when the second episode of [Chicks in the Forest] aired, he had been browsing the internet here and there, but he didn't see any reviews like the ones for the baby mukbang.

Seo-jun said calmly.

“As expected.”

It was obvious. There were many people who watched the video, but they were from different age groups.

Even if the parents were Seo-jun's fans, they wouldn't watch his mukbang when they ate, nor would they turn on his mukbang for their kids when they ate.

So originally, seo-jun planned to upload his mukbang with a comment like ‘My siblings didn't eat well, but they ate well while watching this video.’

Then, with a desperate hope, he thought that one or two people who saw the effect of the baby mukbang would spread the word and increase the number of viewers.

But Seo-jun didn't add any comment and just uploaded the video like a normal mukbang. He had a very effective way to spread the rumor.

“I wonder when it will come out…”

Just like how the baby mukbang started from Mina's mom's YouTube channel, who was his childhood friend, this time [Chicks in the Forest] would be the source of the rumor. And it would be very destructive.

He remembered the cute [Chicks] and went out to the living room. He watched the second episode of [Chicks in the Forest] with his mom and dad.

-There are more ads than last week.

=It's because Seo-jun is on it.

=Judging by how many ads there are now, it seems like the broadcasting station didn't expect Park Ee-deun to call Seo-jun lol

=22 If they knew from the start, they would have released a lot of promotional articles lol And put a lot of ads from episode 1.

The second episode of [Chicks in the Forest] started after many ads. It was different from the first episode.

The kids’ sides that weren't shown in the first episode were revealed. The scenes where the kids didn't eat and the cast members were worried about it.

PD Kang Soo-jung, who had planned to edit it lightly as if it was a tantrum that could be seen in any household, changed it to a new format.

The first scene of episode 2 went back in time and showed the footage from week 1. It was the deleted scenes where the kids didn't eat and the cast members tried all kinds of methods.

[We heard that if you show them Seo-jun's baby mukbang, they will eat well!]

[…That only works until 20 months.]

[What!?]

-Baby mukbang lol It's been a while lol

-I didn't eat well either lol Now I can't eat because I don't have it lol

=222 lol

-I'm a high school student. I really didn't eat so my mom had to use baby mukbang lol She had a hard time after 20 months lol

-It's an essential video for parents. It's too bad that it only works until 20 months lol

After week 1 filming ended, they showed how the cast members tried to feed their kids for a week. Even then, it felt light. The cast members tried hard and succeeded. It was a cliché.

-The three unmarried people look like parents lol

-They’re all working hard.

-The parents who sent the messages seem to have given up too.

=But isn't this a reason not to participate?

=222 True.

Week 2, first day.

[Chicks in the Forest] showed the kids playing, the cast members having a meeting to adjust the lessons according to the kids’ stamina, and the endless amount of food on the table without hiding anything.

All the attempts failed and the four cast members sat at the table. It was the scene that they saw in the preview, but the atmosphere was heavier than before. They all looked tired and exhausted.

-Ah…

-This wasn't a funny situation after all…

But they didn't forget that this was a variety show, so they continued the meeting cheerfully. The background music was somewhat cheerful and the caption said [The villains who try to feed the kids].

[Then… let's use the last resort.]

[Seo-jun!!]

[The villain boss appears! (voice only)]

-Cheongryong's voice lol I didn't expect that lol

-If there are Yeoui-ju and Cheongryong, then lol The kids will eat well!

=22 I listened so well to get Yeoui-ju lol

-Cheongryong, nice to see you. But…! But…!

-What? So Seo-jun doesn't show up?

-The production team's bait…

The next day.

It was breakfast time.

[Cheongryong came to [Chicks in the Forest]!] The caption said, and Park Ee-deun's phone played Cheongryong's mysterious voice.

-000 So it wasn't Seo-jun but Cheongryong…

=The dictation was all wrong…

=Accuracy rate 0% lol

Cheongryong called each kid's name and they squealed happily and answered yes! yes! They said they would eat well when he told them to. Then they showed the kids eating well and going home.

-Is this how it ends happily lol

-nn No, it's not over until it's over.

[Chicks in the Forest] showed again how the cast members prepared various things for the kids. They looked more serious as they studied, practiced cooking, and asked experts.

And week 3, first day.

They met the kids again and had lunch.

The cast members sighed at the food that didn't decrease at all.

-They’re not eating again. It's been reset in a week.

-Cheongryong's recording is useless too…

-Real parenting… I feel like I'm watching my son. I've tried baby mukbang and Cheongryong too. (Crying)

-This is like a documentary disguised as a variety show. Something like ‘Real Parenting Experience’.

=22 It definitely got heavier than before.

=33 Usually, they would edit out anything problematic and only show good scenes… Why?

The background music got heavier and the cast members looked a bit worn out. It was just after lunchtime, and they were whispering and discussing what to do for dinner.

On TV, Jung Na-hee saw a car coming towards the filming site. Park Ee-deun also looked that way and jumped up from his seat.

[Huh? It's team 2’s car.]

[Team 2?]

[It's our company's team 2. They’re in charge of Seo-jun, and they usually use that car.]

[Then, could it be…?]

[Seo-jun's team?!] The caption said, and the music was tense.

-What? Why so suddenly?

-Is he really coming?

-(Moved) Seo-jun had more scenes!!

[It can't be. Sometimes other teams borrow it too. Maybe it's just an employee?]

-…Yeah. I thought so.

-I came here because I heard Seo-jun was coming lol

-The production team is good at baiting.

-Ack lol I was lying down and got up when I heard team 2 lol

[Uh?]

Park Ee-deun, who was getting the viewers’ love with the youngest Ha-rang in his arms, made a strange sound. The camera followed Park Ee-deun's gaze. A man whose face was blurred got out of the passenger seat.

[? Who is that?]

[…It's the team leader.]

-lmao lol I lay down again and got up when I heard team leader lol

-Team leader appears!

-If there's a team leader, there's someone else too?!

=Seo-jun!

-I have to watch it because there are breadcrumbs every time I change the channel.

[If it's the team leader…]

[He's Seo-jun's manager… Why did he come here?]

-But why did the manager get out of the passenger seat? Where's Seo-jun?

-Right. Is he in the back seat?

-Come to think of it… Seo-jun got his driver's license!

-It was on the news and even my dad knows lol

-Wait? Then, could it be… that right now, in the driver's seat…!?

Park Ee-deun, who had the same deduction as the viewers, shouted.

[PD Kang!]

Park Ee-deun called PD Kang Soo-jung urgently.

[Yes, yes?!]

[The driver's seat! Film the driver's seat!]

The camera turned to the driver's seat. The viewers widened their eyes at the close-up screen and the music that played.

Ding-dong!

-My heart reacts first.

-Wasn't this a kindergarten variety show lol Why is there a Jin Natra OST lol

-They said he was the villain boss lol He was really the villain boss lol

-I thought they were always failing minions lol But they were former Earth & Natra planet destroyers!!

-They’re doing real parenting as a punishment lol

[You idiot!? There are so many good spots where you can see well, why did you park there? You have to park so that only the driver's seat is visible to make a cool entrance and look good! Have you filmed once or twice? Ah… You’ve probably driven once or twice.]

-Besties lol lol

-He filmed more than once or twice, but he drove once or twice lol

-A celebrity who makes his manager sit in the passenger seat and drives himself lol

-Are you okay, team leader? It must be hard to ride a car driven by a beginner lol

=I would ride it if the driver was Seo-jun (serious)

The car door on the driver's side opened.

At the edge of the black car door, a black hair popped out.

It seemed like he was getting up from his seat as he slowly revealed his face above the car door. His flawless face shone on the close-up screen as if there was a halo around him.

The man who got out of the car saw the people and the camera and smiled brightly.

It was actor Seo-jun Lee.

[Chicks in the Forest]

[Next week preview!]

-It ended here…!!

-How did time pass so fast?!

[Hello. I'm actor Seo-jun Lee. Please take good care of me today.]

They showed him bowing politely to the camera.

[He came to feed the kids!]

[The villain boss appears! (Real)]

-The villain is too nice lol lol

-Today's chicks’ reactions: Last resort] Seo-jun?! NO Cheongryong] Baited… ] Team 2 car appears] Seo-jun?! nn Probably another employee] Disappointed… ] Team leader gets out of passenger seat] Could it be!!!] (Surprise)! Seo-jun appears!(Congrats)

=That's why I don't know how many times I lay down and got up today lol

-(Voice only): Disappointed…

(Real): Cheers!! ] But next week's broadcast

-I don't know if I should resent that Seo-jun had few scenes this week, or be happy that he will appear next week too.

=lol Just be happy.

-Everyone looks surprised, from the cast to the production team lol He must have come suddenly lol

=But why did he come all of a sudden?

-As a parent of a 13-month-old daughter… this was a scary show. She can't eat without baby mukbang now… What if she enters the dark age after 20 months…

=22 I really felt like it was my story. They showed how hard the cast worked.

=33 I wish they would release Cheongryong's voice recording. I’ll use it without the name calling. The effect won't last long, but…

-But what if Seo-jun can't feed the kids either? What will happen to this show?

=Right. I'm already worried about the kids eating, but I’ll be worried until the last episode.

=We’re a nation that cares about food, and we always ask ‘Did you eat?’…! But they can't feed the kids!!

=Can't (X) Won't (O)

=They might change the kids in the middle.

=NOOoo I can't let go of Ha-rang and Ye-rin…
