Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 419

[Blue Moon adds a new member?]

There is a filming site near where I work part-time, and idols often come to shoot their music videos.

Today, Blue Moon came.

I only saw one face (probably Choi Jaewon), but there were five people with black hair and one person with dyed hair.

Did Blue Moon get a new member?

-?? This is the first time I hear such a story.

-What color was the dyed hair?

=) Let’s keep the concept before the comeback.

-Wasn’t it blue? (link)

=It’s also mentioned here?

-It doesn’t seem like a Blue Moon member. According to the fans’ eyewitness accounts, all the members had black hair.

=Then did they really add one more member;;;

-Maybe it’s an actor for the music video?

=An actor with blue hair instead of an idol???

-But why does it have to be a new member? There could be other possibilities.

=) I remember a girl group that I liked before added a member and then disbanded. That’s why I thought of it.

=) And they looked very close.

-But isn’t member change something that often happens in groups that are failing? When there are problems with the members or something.

=222 Blue Moon is doing pretty well. They even won the rookie award last year.

=333 Even people who are not interested in idols listen to their songs.

=Maybe that’s why they joined. A son of an investor or a related person

=Right. It’s better to join when they are rookies than when they are famous later.

=It doesn’t seem like there will be no criticism;;;

=222 It’s already noisy here.

-Isn’t Cocoa’s investor Lee Seo-jun?

=222 Cocoa is doing well too, so I don’t think there will be any pressure.

=333 Because Lee Seo-jun is there.

=I don’t know. We don’t know everything about their situation.

=It could be different for actors and idols.

A post that was nothing more than an eyewitness account slowly spread to other sites. And it also caught the eyes of reporters who were always thirsty for topics.

“A new member, huh…”

It was not an official announcement from Cocoa Entertainment, but just two eyewitness accounts that were posted on the internet. But the reporters knew that this would generate a lot of views.

If they wrote it as badly as possible, they could compare Lee Seo-jun, an actor who had an uncle as a president, and Blue Moon, who were nothing more than rookie idols, as much as possible.

Lee Seo-jun was the superior connected by blood, and Blue Moon was the inferior who could change their members at will.

“But that would be trouble.”

If they posted such an article, not only Lee Seo-jun’s fans, but also the public would rise up, and other reporters would write all kinds of articles as well.

With a little research, anyone could tell that actor Lee Seo-jun had grown up on his own without Cocoa Entertainment.

‘No matter how much the agency pushes them, it would be hard to get an Oscar or a Golden Bell.’

The reporter nodded his head inwardly as he wrote down the article.

“Within reasonable limits…”

The best way was to put Lee Seo-jun’s name in a way that sprinkled pepper around Blue Moon and Cocoa Entertainment.

It was also simple to post an article about an incident that was not confirmed. It was enough to put a question mark on the article title.

[Cocoa Entertainment recruits a new member for Blue Moon?]

[Blue Moon, who won the rookie award last year, adds a new member?]

As soon as the articles came out, they naturally caught the eyes of the fans who searched for ‘Blue Moon’ every day. And then posts started to appear on Blue Moon’s fan cafe as well.

-Did they really recruit a new member?

-I felt something was off when I saw the old post…

=No way!

=222 Blue Moon is doing well, why would they add a new member?

There were people who were worried and people who said it was impossible.

-It must be another fiction by the reporters.

-Maybe it’s an actor for the music video?

=22 Just because they dyed their hair blue doesn’t mean they’re not an actor.

=333 I have no idea what role they have though.

-It could be a dancer. There are sometimes dancers who dance solo, right?

=Like modern dance?

=I’m looking forward to this single album!

The fans who trusted Cocoa Entertainment showed calm reactions.

From Brown Black and White to Red Crown.

They all had great popularity, so they were often caught up in some rumors by reporters who wanted attention, but Cocoa Entertainment quickly responded and revealed and informed the public that it was not true.

Cocoa Entertainment was also one of the agencies that cared the most about their singers and fans.

But there were also fans who couldn’t fully trust Cocoa Entertainment. They were fans who had trauma from the actions of other agencies.

-I’m a little worried

-Cocoa Entertainment has been doing well so far, but there’s no guarantee that they will do well in the future.

=222 The agency of the group I used to like also did well for 3 years

=333 That side’s purpose is to make money, so they can’t always be the same as the fans’ feelings.

-Even if they have talent enough to want to add them as a new member…

=If someone comes in, it would be easy for someone to leave too

-Are they adding a new member for global expansion or something?

=Ah… maybe this is it…

The fan cafe of Blue Moon was divided between the fans who wanted to trust Cocoa Entertainment and wait, and the fans who thought there was no smoke without fire.

The latter fans, who were anxious, started to actively look for information, and the former fans also couldn’t hide the small anxiety in their hearts and clicked on any related articles or posts they saw.

Among the people who were curious about what was going on, there were also YouTubers who chose this rumor-like topic as the subject of their broadcasts.

Among the noisy people, there were also music show producers who were inseparable from idols. 

The producers who had finished the meeting for the next broadcast brought up the hot topic that had been buzzing since a few hours ago.

“They are popular enough, but adding a new member… Of course Cocoa Entertainment must have a plan, but it doesn’t seem like a very good idea.”

They wondered if they were too complacent after succeeding with Brown Black, White, and Red Crown.

The PD said to the assistant director.

“Do you think one of them caused trouble?”

Usually, when there was a change in the group members, such as adding or removing a member, it was when the group was unpopular and needed to be reorganized, or when one of the members had an accident or a big problem.

The assistant director shook his head at the PD’s words.

“Then they would have removed the one who caused trouble and added someone else.”

“Blue Moon kids have good personalities, right? They are successful enough to keep going like this.”

The staff who interacted with the singers most often thought of Blue Moon, who greeted them politely.

They should be a bit stiff as Cocoa Entertainment’s artists, but they were kind and their group’s popularity was the highest among the groups that debuted in the same year.

One of the writers who was thinking deeply said “Aha!” and opened his mouth.

“What if it’s a collaboration?”

Oh!

The producers in the meeting room exclaimed at the same time.

“That makes sense!”

“If it’s one person, is it a solo singer? Or is it a trainee who will debut soon from Cocoa Entertainment?”

“It would be nice if it was a famous singer who would make a buzz for their comeback.”

The assistant director agreed with some of the candidates, but there was no definitive candidate. 

Then, the main writer who was looking at his phone opened his mouth.

“There is also a collaboration story in the article.”

“It’s more likely to be a collaboration than adding a new member.”

The PD got up from his seat and said.

“Well, whether it’s a collaboration or adding a new member, they will let us know soon. We don’t have to worry about it since there is still plenty of time until Blue Moon’s comeback.”

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

***

Cocoa Entertainment’s singer team 1 was also watching the internet reaction.

As soon as the rumor of adding a new member was delivered to Blue Moon’s fan cafe, they immediately contacted the team leader who was at the filming site.

When Seo-jun and Blue Moon were focusing on filming the music video, the team leader and Anh Da Ho who received the contact looked at people’s reactions on their phones.

They never expected that just two eyewitness accounts and being with Blue Moon would turn into a rumor of adding a new member.

“Even though it’s good that Blue Moon is known enough to attract people’s attention…”

“Blue Moon fans are too anxious.”

It was more so because adding or removing members was not something that never happened.

The team leader, who looked at his phone screen with a serious face, opened his mouth.

“Should we just tell them that it’s an actor?”

“That sounds good.”

Anh Da Ho nodded his head. It was better to hide the fact that Seo-jun was the blue-haired person until the music video was released.

[Cocoa Entertainment aims for global market?]

People who clicked on what seemed like an official article saw comments screaming in the comment section and felt like they had to post something quickly.

The team leader quickly packed his things. 

The singer team 1 office must have been in chaos with calls from reporters and fans.

“Then I’ll leave them to you.”

“Yes. Be careful on your way.”

The team leader contacted singer team 1 and headed to the company, and Anh Da Ho looked at Seo-jun and Blue Moon who were concentrating on filming.

The kids who had no idea what was going on were smiling brightly and continuing to film diligently.

***

“Good job!”

Seo-jun and Blue Moon changed their clothes and came out after finishing the first day of filming. 

It was late, but maybe because it was summer, the edge of the orange sun was still visible.

Seo-jun and Blue Moon, who were satisfied with the filming, got into the car with cheerful faces. 

The Blue Moon manager was in the driver’s seat, and Anh Da Ho was in the passenger seat.

“Hyung. Where is the team leader?”

“He had something to do, so he left first.”

Choi Jaewon’s question was answered by Blue Moon’s manager.

Seo-jun and Blue Moon fastened their seat belts and turned on their phones that they had turned off while filming.

The manager and Anh Da Ho wondered if they should stop them for a moment, but they couldn’t keep hiding it, so they just left them alone.

“Wow. What is this?”

Blue Moon’s eyes widened at the phone that was full of messages and calls that had arrived while they were off, then tilted their head and read the messages.

Seo-jun also checked the situation by accessing the search site after reading the messages from his friends.

“Da-ho hyung. What’s going on?”

Anh Da Ho explained the situation in order as it happened. 

Blue Moon listened to Anh Da Ho’s explanation while reading the posts quickly.

Seo-jun touched his blue hair, which seemed to be the cause of the incident.

“Sorry.”

“You have nothing to be sorry for.”

Blue Moon shook their heads vigorously.

Who could have imagined that this would become such a big deal?

“I posted an article, but it doesn’t seem like it will die down easily.”

It was as Anh Da Ho said.

[Cocoa Entertainment denies adding a new member for Blue Moon!]

[Cocoa Entertainment reveals that it’s an actor who appeared in the music video!]

-Isn’t it a test? They say it’s an actor, but if the reaction is good, they’ll recruit

=An actor and an idol

-Who is the actor? Tell me the name

=Yeah. There’s no name for the actor!

-Isn’t it a lie that they’ll appear in the next album?

=They might have participated in the recording of this single album too.

=Blue Moon fans should listen to the song carefully

“Wow… how do they think of these things?”

“Right. They said no…”

There were a lot more people who believed Cocoa Entertainment’s words, but there were also some who didn’t. 

There were also people who were making a fuss as if they had caught a good opportunity.

Blue Moon’s shoulders sagged. 

They were not affected by the comments. 

They just felt sorry for the fans who were anxious by the comments of people who were just having fun.

-It’s not true, right?

=They said no, so it’ll be fine.

-Cocoa…!

-But I don’t understand why they don’t reveal the name of the actor

=222 The name of the actor doesn’t have that much impact…

The actor who couldn’t reveal his name unintentionally, Seo-jun, looked at Blue Moon members who were about to cry with a gloomy expression.

-How can I wait until the comeback with this anxiety…

-Jaewon-ahSihoon-ahIhyun-ahIdun-ahEunsung-ah

Blue Moon didn’t expect to confirm their fans’ love in this way. 

They made a sobbing face.
