Across the Sea (2)

[Subject: Sorry.

I saw a notice posted on the Internet.

There had been a fight with KK fans on the Internet the day before and I was very excited.

One of my friends had been selected as a member of the staff, so I secretly went to the waiting room,

found the KK waiting room, and impulsively did something

. If he had planned this, he would never have revealed his face even though there is CCTV.

I would appreciate it if you could look at it just once.

I did not post the photo on the Internet, so it cannot be deleted .

I am sorry.]

Dora-hee looked at the email and shook her head.

The photo gift was thrown out on the street near the awards ceremony, so anyone could have taken the photo. The important thing was to reveal that they were the ones who threw away the gift.

Do Ra-hee was able to easily guess the culprit from the part where there was a fight on the Internet with KAK fans. However, since it was forbidden to make assumptions, before contacting the person who sent the email,

the name of the person who sent the email was Bomi Kim. It was difficult to determine her specific identity based only on the name Bomi Kim.

The email address of the email that arrived was ‘[email protected]’.

When I entered my email address into Facenote, it showed up as an unregistered email address.

Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee searched for email addresses such as ‘bomebome’ and ‘bome2bome’ just in case. Then, after some thought, I searched for an email called ‘bome1123’ with the birthdays of Sabang Shinhwa members.

Then, member information appeared along with the name Bomi Kim. The 23-year-old was currently on a leave of absence from school.

When I entered the page, the most recent post that Bomi Kim left an hour ago appeared.

[I’m in a bad mood]

The comments below were full of swear words and ridicule such as ‘You should have wrapped it tighter like that’ and ‘You idiot.’ Kim Bomi was responding to those comments with a comment telling her to ‘shut up’.

As I was scrolling through the posts, I noticed that there were some photos of the TBN awards ceremony staff ID and some photos that clearly showed that they were fans of Sabang Shinhwa.

Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee responded to the email with confidence.

After some time, the controversy on the Internet was neatly resolved through the actions of Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee.

Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee met in person with Kim Bomi, who sent the email.

Kim Bo-mi knew the Internet well, so she knew what kind of uproar it would be if her personal information was circulated on the Internet. Therefore, he said that he could post the apology written in the email on the Internet, but he didn’t think there was anything else he could do.

“My true. This is ridiculous! “How could someone who knows so clearly do something like that?!”

Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee did not swear with her mouth because it was related to the company, but she cursed with her eyes. Do Ra-hee did not feel like she should not mess with Director Oh Baek-ho for no reason.

Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee took a deep breath as she gave a speech about the KK members who were criticized because of Kim Bo-mi and the fans who were hurt.

Kim Bo-mi, wearing a hat, only lowered her head under the pressure of Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee.

“You know we can sue, right?”

“……yes.”

“Then, what is Kim Bo-mi’s life really like? “It’s different from the extent to which new information is spread on the Internet.”

Bomi Kim looked at Assistant Manager Do Rahee with anxious eyes. There were two more accomplices. Kim Bomi, who was the most anxious because the staff certificate was hers, took the initiative and sent an email as a representative.

“So, do as you say. “Isn’t it strange that we are being harmed so that you won’t be harmed?”

Kim Bomi nodded at Assistant Manager Dorahee who spoke sharply.

However, Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee had no intention of revealing Kim Bo-mi’s personal information. However, even if you just posted an apology saying that it was your fault, there was no evidence that the author was the real culprit, so it was necessary to post it with evidence that he was the real culprit.

Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee did not believe everything Kim Bomi said that she was impulsive. Since there was an accomplice, I thought there would be evidence of a conspiracy.

In the end, Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee found out the circumstances in which Kim Bo-mi and two other people exchanged messages saying, “Let’s go into KK’s waiting room and do something. We should at least rip our clothes in the waiting room. That will relieve our feelings. Let’s create controversy at KK.”

Immediately that afternoon, Bomi Kim wrote an apology and posted it on a community site, attaching a photo of her staff ID and a screenshot of the conversation she was simulating.

As a fan of another singer, I had a bad feeling toward KK, so I did something I shouldn’t have done, and I apologized to KK members and fans.

Although the names were obscured, the profile pictures in the captured conversations were the faces of two Sabang Shinhwa members.

Kim Bomi wanted to hide that she was a fan of Sabang Shinhwa until the end, but there was no way it wouldn’t be revealed.

Being a fan of Sabang Shinhwa was already a clear motive for the crime.

When Bomi Kim’s apology was posted, the community once again became excited. As it became known that Bomi Kim was a fan of Sabang Shinhwa, it became known within the Sabang Shinhwa fandom who they were.

As Kim Bomi’s group caused even Sabang Shinhwa to be criticized, Kim Bomi’s group was naturally branded as a bad group and ostracized by fans attending the site.

Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee quickly released Hit Entertainment’s position, including the contents of Kim Bomi’s apology, through a press article.

It was the first time this had happened, and since an apology was quickly posted, they were given leniency, but it was clear that leniency would not be given again.

〈Scary fight between fans.. Due to the theft in the KK waiting room!〉

〈From now on, KK’s agency will take a hard line against malicious comments spreading rumors related to KK!〉

– You have properly embarrassed Four Bang Shinhwa

– Sad…

– Gao’s falling, fans I did everything haha

– Shouldn’t I have eaten beans and rice? Hit the enter is too soft, back off~n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

-Where have all the kids who cursed KK gone? LOL

-Aren’t you really crazy???? They say kids these days are scary and even commit crimes???

-After all, our oppas couldn’t have done that ㅠㅠ

– Those inconsiderate kids should be punished…

Because it was something that happened between fans, it wasn’t widely reported, but the public didn’t even know that something like this had happened anyway.

What was important were the fans. What Do-wook and the members wanted was to clear up fans’ misunderstandings.

KK’s fans were angry at the clearly revealed story, but they were even more heartbroken by the fact that KK members were sincerely sorry that their fans’ gifts were thrown away on the street, even though they had been stolen.

Although there was a clear distance between the singer and the fan, the relationship between them became even stronger.

Also, I realized once again that as the KK members reached the top position, there were many people who were jealous and tried to pull them down.

I thought I should be more careful about my actions because I don’t know when, where, and how strange rumors might arise.

***

Fortunately, the matter was resolved and the KK members arrived at Gimpo Airport with a much lighter heart.

Today too, so many fans flocked to the airport that it was crowded. Airport security had a hard time keeping the fans at bay.

In the past, these members would have said hello, but on days like today when there were too many people, it was difficult to say hello because it would only be a nuisance to regular airport users.

KK members who were trying to go up to the departure hall had the dizzying experience of the escalator stopping because of the fans who followed behind them and the many fans who got on the front first and tried to take pictures of them.

When the escalator with too many people on it stopped working, Manager Oh Baek-ho touched his forehead as he felt his fever rising.

In the end, the KK members had to follow Director Oh Baek-ho and turn around and head up the stairs to the departure hall.

“Wow, today is truly the best ever.”

“Oh my gosh.”

Jeong Yoon-gi and Kim Won shook their heads as they entered the departure hall.

It was the first schedule after the awards ceremony, and since many things happened in a short period of time on the Internet, fans seemed to want to see KK’s face even more.

At the duty-free shop in the departure hall, K.K.’s face was already displayed on the front page.

“Wow…”

Ahn Hyeong-seo was amazed as he looked at the billboard with his face on it.

“I was wondering when I would get caught here.”

“It is now.”

While talking with Seok Ji-hoon, Ahn Hyeong-seo walked towards the gate. It took longer than expected to get into the departure hall, so there wasn’t much time left to board the plane.

All members were seated in business class.

Shortly after the plane took off, the in-flight meal was served. Since the flight between Gimpo and Tokyo was very short, there was originally no separate in-flight meal, but it was a special meal served in business class during the morning flight.

“Now that I think about it, we didn’t even eat rice cake soup yesterday.”

Seok Ji-hoon said while looking at the rice cake soup served as an in-flight meal.

Yesterday, the first day of the new year, we were preparing for today’s performance, so all lunch and dinner were KK members who met up in the practice room.

“I’m glad I can eat like this.”

Seok Ji-hoon nodded at what Do-wook said while holding a spoon. Seok Ji-hoon spoke to Kim Won, who was visible diagonally.

“Brother Won! “I eat and do it.”

“Ah… Ugh. “Oki-oki.”

At Seok Ji-hoon’s words, Kim Won barely closed the Japanese book he was reading. Kim Won became crazy once he fell in love with a book. Kim Won devoted himself to studying Japanese conversation ahead of his schedule in Japan.

Whether it was because of his high IQ, his excellent linguistic ability, or both, Kim Won’s Japanese skills improved quickly.

Now I was able to do basic communication as well as read newspapers in their original form.

“You said you were going to appear on a variety show this time, right?”

“huh. “I also need to study Japanese more.”

“You’re good at it too. There’s really no problem for the three of us. “The remaining three are the problem.”

In response to Seok Ji-hoon’s sarcastic comment, Ahn Hyeong-seo, who was sitting in the back seat, could be heard protesting that he was studying.

Do-wook smiled softly, thinking that he should check later to see if the New Year’s gifts he sent to his family arrived safely.

KK’s first schedule of the new year was in Tokyo, Japan.

In Tokyo, KK’s Japanese regular album 〈あおぞら〉 had just been released yesterday.

This time, KK planned to accelerate her Japanese activities in earnest by appearing on showcases as well as Japanese music and entertainment shows with 〈あおぞら〉.

KK was already quite well known among Japanese K-POP fans. However, through this album, they will focus on promoting KK’s music not only to K-POP fans but also to those who enjoy local Japanese music.

Nakamoto, which was originally entrusted with only distributing music and albums, was entrusted with planning and production as well as Japanese album jacket photography.

Although Hit Entertainment may have suffered some losses in terms of profit distribution, it had developed a perfect localization strategy.

KK’s popularity had reached its peak in Korea.

Even in Japan, it was a good time to jump up one or two steps.

This activity had a clear goal.
