Chapter 99

In the countryside of Gyeongnam Gochang, many artists and TV crew members arrived this morning.

The current top variety show on SBS, "Family Outing," is filming here. The artists, who just finished catching fish and playing games by the stream, are now washing up and changing clothes.

A few male artists have already changed and are sitting in the living room watching a baseball game.

"Brother JUNGUK, phone call!"

At this moment, a chubby man ran in from outside and called out.

The muscular man in a white T-shirt, who was inside, turned around and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"It's Senior JANG HODONG!"

The muscular man was taken aback for a moment, then quickly took the phone. The others sitting nearby also looked at him curiously.

This muscular man is JUNGUK, who became famous in 2005 with the song "Like a Love," sweeping the music awards of the three major TV stations. He was the second solo artist to win the triple crown after the senior artist JUNG YOUNGBOK, 22 years after him.

JUNGUK, who returned from military service last May, reappeared last year with his fifth album after a period of silence. Although his performance was good, it did not have the same impact as his triple crown days.

What JUNGUK found difficult to adapt to was the significant changes in the entertainment industry over the past two years. The rise of new idol groups had a huge impact on solo artists. Even the variety show scene had changed dramatically, something JUNGUK did not expect.

However, JUNGUK still had many friends in the industry, especially JANG HODONG and YOO JAESUK, who had a good relationship with him. They had given him a lot of advice and invited him to join their teams.

While the idea of teams might be a bit exaggerated, JANG HODONG and YOO JAESUK were recognized as the two major factions in the entertainment industry, with no particular enmity, just different bases and different main TV stations.

JUNGUK had a good relationship with both, but if he had to choose, the three of them were like big brother, second brother, and little brother, with JANG HODONG being the big brother JUNGUK respected.

In reality, it was mostly like this... the big brother was respected, and the second brother was a good friend. So, after YOO JAESUK's persuasion, JUNGUK shyly joined the variety show scene and gradually found his place in "Family Outing," adapting to his current work and life.

JUNGUK, of course, took JANG HODONG's call very seriously, as he respected him as a big brother.

"Brother HODONG, what's up?" JUNGUK looked at YOO JAESUK and YOON JUNGSHIN sitting beside him, thought for a moment, and then answered the call without hesitation.

"JUNGUK, are you filming 'Family Outing'?"

"Yep, we're in Gyeongnam now!"

"Is that so? Do you have time after tomorrow's filming in Seoul?"

JUNGUK was a bit puzzled but still replied, "Of course, what's up, Brother?"

"There is something, I won't lie to you. It's about LEE HANNA, the Happy Musician, you know him, right? He asked me to contact you. I've already boasted to him, so I need your help. We can also meet up, come to my barbecue restaurant, let's have a good meal. How about bringing YOO JAESUK and the others?"

"LEE HANNA?? I know him, but why would he contact me? Does Brother know?"

JUNGUK was even more curious after hearing JANG HODONG's words. Ignoring other aspects, is there anyone in the music industry who doesn't know this rising composer? Especially his relationship with YOO YOUNGJIN, who doesn't pay attention?

YOO JAESUK, the alien with the protruding lips, who was sitting nearby with glasses, also looked at JUNGUK curiously. LEE HANNA contacting JUNGUK? That's strange...

"It's probably about music. He seems to have a new song, but that guy is very stingy, he wouldn't even let me listen to it. JUNGUK, can you come tomorrow? If not, we can change the time!"

"Of course, it's not a big deal. I haven't seen Brother in a long time, it would be good to meet up. As for YOO JAESUK... you talk to him yourself!"

JUNGUK handed the phone directly to YOO JAESUK, who looked at him speechlessly but still took the phone and laughed, "Brother HODONG, are you inviting us?"

...

After a while, YOO JAESUK hung up and handed the phone to JUNGUK's manager, then asked curiously, "LEE HANNA? The Happy Musician?"

JUNGUK nodded, also feeling curious. Composing a new song and looking for him?? Is he asking me to sing it? Or just a regular song submission? Ignoring his relationship with YOO YOUNGJIN, his music style doesn't really match mine.

"Come out and film quickly!!"

Just as JUNGUK was thinking, the most sharp-tongued woman in the family called out. YOO JAESUK and the others quickly got up and ran out of the room, and the filming of "Family Outing" continued.

...

At 6 PM, LEE HANNA drove home. After working hard for so many days, he could finally rest.

However, as LEE HANNA opened the door and walked into the yard, his phone suddenly beeped with a message. He took out his phone and saw...

"Damn!! Is my charm that great?"

...

"Ugh, YUNA, how can you do this!!"

The members of Girls' Generation, who had just finished their appearance, were now putting on a little drama in the waiting room.

JUNG TAEYeon was very worried when she saw SUL HYUN suddenly crying and looking very angry. She quickly went to comfort her, while YUNA was also shocked and quickly explained, "SUL HYUN, today is April Fool's Day, it's fake, fake. Such a sudden confession, LEE HANNA won't take it seriously!"

SUL HYUN was really angry and very worried and nervous. Thinking about the message she had just sent, she almost fainted.

After the program ended, YUNA was the first to return to the waiting room and saw SUL HYUN's phone next to her bag. A mischievous idea popped into her head, and she sent a message.

YUNA originally planned to send another message "Happy April Fool's Day, I'm YUNA" a minute later, but SUL HYUN happened to return just then. Seeing YUNA with her phone, she ran over and grabbed it, only to see the sent message and freeze.

SUL HYUN: "Senior, I really like you..."

Although the message was short, it conveyed a deep meaning.

How could a pure and upright girl like SUL HYUN not explode?

"Hey, how can you do this, knowing SUL HYUN's personality!" As everyone was comforting SUL HYUN, KIM HYOEUN suddenly got angry and scolded YUNA. YUNA was shocked; this sister rarely spoke in such a formal tone.

KIM HYOEUN then suddenly turned and squeezed next to SUL HYUN, looking very serious and said, "SUL HYUN, don't be sad. I'll send a message to LEE HANNA to explain for you!"

She grabbed SUL HYUN's phone, patted her shoulder, and quickly moved away from the sisters, saying, "I'll go to the restroom first," and disappeared into the room.
