The person who worked the hardest to prepare for Soohyun’s fan meeting
(600), starting from her child role in This Life, was none other than Crown’s president Kwak Chae-min.
As a person who founded an agency to gather and support his favorite actors, he did not try to let the 20th anniversary of his favorite actor Kang Soo-hyun pass by in vain.
‘To be precise, last year’s 20th anniversary fan meeting was a preview and this is the main game.’
Last year, Chaemin secretly added one year to the number 20, similar to her Korean age, and even though she was short on time, she rented a place that could accommodate more than 10,000 people and held Suhyun’s first and second fan meetings.
Using his hectic experience from that time, he prepared diligently for this fan meeting.
Unfortunately, the actor’s doctor was a low priority in the preparation.
‘A crop tee or a crop tee. Something like a crop tee.’
Thinking about the outfit she should wear, Suhyeon secretly rubbed her stomach.
It was the outfit he was supposed to wear at the fan meeting, but the person who chose it was none other than Chaemin.
He said that the new song he prepared this time was very dynamic, so he chose a tight-fitting crop tee as his stage costume.
Suhyun, who worked hard to memorize the song and prepare the choreography, found out about it only after the costume was completed.
‘I never thought I could use the wishing power here.’
In the past, Soo-hyeon promised to unconditionally appear on Chae-min’s program three times in return for helping Chae-min with Seo-ra’s work.
For the last remaining time, Chaemin wanted to replace appearances in works or programs with costumes.
‘…Still, I guess I should say thank you for allowing me to choose between a harness and a crop tee.’
There were two types of costumes that Chaemin prepared for the dance song.
One is a black harness (leather belt) worn over a white shirt.
The other is a cropped tee that exposes about 10 centimeters of the abdomen.
Looking at the costumes hanging on the mannequin, Soohyun chose the latter.
It’s something I’ve felt for a long time, but the belt that goes across the shoulders and under the chest looks a little perverted.
If there are two bad options, it is right to choose the lesser evil.
“Actor?”
Su-hyeon, who had been quietly lost in thought, came to her senses when Su-yeol called.
The image of the crop tee was so strong that I forgot that I was in a meeting with my manager.
“The outfit I had to wear was so unconventional that that was the first thing that came to mind during the fan meeting.”
“Now that I think about it, the dance costume I wore in the middle was a polar tee that exposed my stomach. “It’s often seen as an idol stage costume.”
“yes that’s right. “Compared to the shorter tops, the outer sleeves are longer.”
Suhyun smiled bitterly as she remembered the cropped jacket she would wear with the top.
The outfit Chaemin chose was one that is usually seen when idols are pushing a sexy concept.
I didn’t know why I was asking for this as a wish right.
“You don’t seem to like it… How about telling the boss? “It’s the actor’s fan meeting, and I don’t think it’s right for the actor to be in a bad mood.”
“Um… it’s okay. I think fans will like it. “It’s easier this way.”
“…?”
In fact, even though Soohyun didn’t like crop tops, she had no real aversion to wearing them.
Because I experienced a variety of fashions while working as an idol before returning.
At the time, the concept of END, which Suhyun belonged to, often subtly diverged from the trend, and the coordination was ambiguous to match.
This means that although it was similar to the costumes worn by other groups, it felt like something was missing by 2%.
The various outfits included crop tops and harnesses, and Suhyun wore the outfits given to her like an idol.
‘Compared to back then, the outfit Chaemin gave me was designed exactly for me, and my abs are working much harder than they were back then.’
Although she became an actress and focused only on acting, Suhyun did not forget the stage service she had learned in the past.
If the fans liked it, he could show off his abs that he could be proud of.
‘Besides, I’m more concerned about leaving the right to wish.’
Although he had half forgotten, Chae-min’s power of coercion was also burdensome for Su-hyeon.
I wouldn’t ask someone to do a bad job, but it was something that secretly bothered me that my schedule could be forced upon me by someone.
It was easier to complete the calculation quickly this way.
“Chaemin sees society, right? “The slideshow is unchanged from what you saw before.”
“Some B-cuts filmed in the studio were added to the slide show with the cooperation of 〈PEARL〉. The images have been attached to the list.”
“Ah, the underwater shooting… Well, the overall photos turned out well this time.”
“Seating arrangement will be easier if you check the attached layout map.”
“It is burdensome that the number of people has increased to 15,000… but it is good that it has not been divided into 1 and 2 groups.”
“It was decided that it would be better to increase the time rather than organize different programs with different gifts.”
“I agree with that too. He also expressed his intention in that direction.”
Su-hyeon exchanged words with Su-yeol and carefully checked parts that had been skimmed over or events that had been overlooked in the past because they were not confirmed.
It was definitely difficult to film the drama, prepare for the fan meeting stage, and check the entire fan meeting, but it was fun at the same time.
“Middle Inter lasts 30 minutes… If things continue like this, two hours will go by quickly. “I think it would be fun.”
Only after checking the contents until the end did Suhyeon smile with satisfaction.
As expected from Chaemin’s careful attention to the event, this fan meeting was perfect, from gifts to programs for fans.
Although we don’t know what will happen on the day of the actual event, the records on paper were flawless.
“I hope everything goes well as I prepare hard.”
“It will be fine. “As an actor, you always try to do that.”
“…Thank you, Su-yeol.”
Su-hyeon expressed her gratitude to Su-yeol, who spoke with a calm expression and was embarrassed.
Anyway, he met some really good people in this life.

One day passed and the fan meeting was three days away, but the drama filming schedule did not disappear just because the fan meeting was coming up.
On the contrary, with the airing date of ‘Butterfly’ approaching quickly, they were busy filming the stock footage.
“I’m really busy. “Everyone says it’s summer and everyone goes on vacation, but we don’t have anything like that.”
“Instead, after the work is over, I rest that much.”
“That’s true… but summer is hard.”
Hyunji, who was sitting under the shade, gently waved his clothes to cool off his sweat.
The manager next to her worked hard to blow air with a small fan.
“Soohyun, you’re having a fan meeting this time?”
“yes. “The 9th is the 20th anniversary of my debut.”
“congratulation. By the way, Suhyun, how did you decide on your debut date? When did you first appear on TV? Or a work day?”
“It was the first day I went to the field. “I’m five years old, so I don’t remember much.”
“Wow… I feel like I’m really a senior when I say I’m five years old. Now that I think about it, the works that Soohyun filmed when she was a child actress were also really good. “I miss thinking about something like this.”
Hyunji, who was lazing around in the sudden heat of early August, suddenly expressed his appreciation, saying that he had really enjoyed watching Soohyun’s work during his school days.
Although it was sudden, it was not something that happened once or twice, so Su-hyeon smiled lightly and expressed her gratitude.
“Anyway, I think the 20th anniversary fan meeting will be quite big, and Crown is famous for taking care of things like that.”
“Yeah… our boss really likes that kind of thing.”
“That’s a good thing. The fact that the boss is interested in the good side means that he is prepared to give you many opportunities. “Rather than neglecting it or letting it go to waste, I’m very grateful.”
“That’s right.”
Su-hyeon quietly nodded and agreed to Hyun-ji’s words.
If the CEO is very interested in the celebrities and has the ability to help, there is no better company.
The reason why actors who entered Crown rarely left voluntarily was because everyone knew the privileges that this environment gave them.
“So what is the scale?”
“15,000 people.”
“Wow… It’s almost like an idol concert… I think I really know what 20 years of experience is. “Before, filling 4,000 people was a task.”
“Thank you for loving me.”
“You two! Why are you talking so hard? Now, have a cool drink. “I’m shooting!”
“Wow, Seonghyun, you’re cool. thank you. “I’ll drink it well.”
“thank you.”
“Haha what? ah! Su-hyeon specially ordered mocha. Add shot. Lots of whipping. Right?”
“…thank you.”
While the two were having a leisurely conversation, Seonghyun suddenly appeared and offered them cold coffee.
Suhyeon held the mocha coffee he gave her and smiled on her face.
I was wondering how to drink this bitter drink.
‘I’m not a bad person… Well, I’m not a bad person.’
He’s just a person who doesn’t have much tact and lacks the ability to observe others.
Suhyun took a sip of coffee through a straw.
The devastating bitterness, the mysterious sweetness, the cold energy, and the hot and uncomfortable weather combined to create a fantastic harmony.
‘…I’m not a bad person.’
A little brainwashing was needed, but the atmosphere itself was calm.

The Holy Land was a 6-year-old Chocolat.
She became a fan of Soo-hyun after watching ‘Winter Bud’ when she was in high school, and liked the variety of acting he did.
I liked how he was meticulous about self-care but also secretly clumsy, loved chocolate, and smiled like a child when he ate something sweet.
Although he was older than me, he showed off his boyish charm and I really liked Seongji.
‘It’s already the 20th anniversary… There’s not much of an age difference between you and me, so it’s amazing.’
As she participated in her first fan meeting, she looked around at the people around her.
And I felt a strange sense of kinship in the sight of more female passers-by than usual.
‘Everyone is going to Soohyun oppa’s fan meeting, right? If we follow along like this… Ah.’
After leaving the station and walking for a while, Seongji stopped in front of a large banner he found.
A photo of a man with his eyes closed with his hands gently placed on his chest.
The sight of Su-hyeon, who looked like an angel thanks to her white feathers, was somehow touching.
‘You came out really innocent.’
Seongji could not take pictures with the banner in the background like others.
Instead, I timidly raised my phone and captured a picture of him with his eyes closed on the screen.
Just being able to see these unreleased images was enough to make me satisfied with attending this fan meeting.
‘Where should I go now?’
After being mesmerized by the banner for a moment, she rejoined the group and started walking.
Fortunately, staff wearing armbands were guiding us to the location, so there was no risk of getting lost.
‘Ah, that rice wreath. I also contributed money.’
The aisles inside the venue were filled with flowers sent by fans and other celebrities.
Among them, Seongji found a pile of rice sent by Chocolat and smiled slightly.
Even though the amount of money I put into it was small, I was still glad that I had contributed.
‘Now follow that line… ugh.’
Seongji, who was happy for a moment, came to his senses again and headed to the line.
My body collided with someone who was moving quickly.
“are you okay?”
“…uh? omg!”
“Shh.”
