Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 319

319. Justice Always Prevails (2)

[Will you… be able to come back?]

Everything was going smoothly.

But here was a lone, serious hamster.

“What nonsense are you spouting?”

[Yeonwoo, you don’t realize the gravity of the situation.]

“……?”

There’s nothing serious about it.

UTT’s situation was also resolving smoothly.

‘It’s not for nothing that they’re trying to play the media here and there.’

Public opinion sometimes wields more power than anything else.

It’s not a tool that someone can just use as they please.

Public opinion makes its own judgments like a living organism.

And the public’s conclusion about UTT’s former agency president was icy and frigid.

-I’m also a former trainee, and I’ve experienced similar things…

-I can’t believe these kinds of bad practices still exist. These bad practices need to be eradicated.

-It seems like the problem starts with anyone and everyone starting an agency. We need to legally regulate this…

Complaints began to pour in from various places about similar experiences to UTT.

And there was a movement to establish legal safeguards to protect trainees, especially those who are young minors.

“Once my friend makes a move, it really stirs up a storm.”

Lee Juha, who became acquainted with UTT thanks to her connection with Hangye Dopa and Yeonwoo, also added a word.

“Actually, it was kind of an open secret among industry insiders, but it wasn’t my business, so it was difficult to step forward. Honestly, I couldn’t. What would I say? That your company’s welfare is terrible and your contracts are unscrupulous, so fix them? I’d be lucky if I didn’t get stabbed.”

Although it has decreased a lot, the show business world still has uneasy connections with black money.

“Stabbed?”

“Yeah. Because there are people who really stab with knives. Do you know gangsters, friend?”

“Yes? Does that kind of thing really exist in this world?”

“Why do you think it wouldn’t? It’s the perfect condition. Big money comes and goes. It’s secretive. People are entangled.”

In fact, there’s a famous industry rumor that the president of a certain agency is from a organized crime group.

They provide funds to small agencies and swallow them up.

Or they use the agency to crawl from the shadows to the light.

And the celebrities of agencies with such rumors are mostly not properly cared for or are treated poorly.

They may be held hostage or be in debt to the agency.

“So how can I recklessly step forward? I’d be ruining my life trying to help others.”

“That’s true.”

“It sounds selfish, right? But what can I do? It’s hard to find someone with enough sense of justice to risk their career and literally their life to help others.”

In the beginning, they try to help in any way they can, but they end up letting go because of subtle threats and retaliation.

“But then my friend appeared like a flash. They’re probably busy laundering money and running away right now, right?”

The strong public opinion was not something that could be easily calmed down.

The public wanted to bring the villains to justice, and some in the political world were said to have moved in on this opportunity.

“They used to have forces protecting them. But with this incident, if they recklessly cover for them, they’ll be severely targeted by the public. So now is the chance. The perfect opportunity to cut out the rotten parts.”

Lee Juha told a few more stories after that.

Complex stories about political-economic collusion and so on.

‘Why are we talking about companies here…?’

Entertainment agencies are companies, so they are companies, but…

Anyway, there were many complicated stories.

“I’m so glad you’re here, friend. I mean it. I’m very satisfied. Yeah. That’s my friend.”

Lee Juha seemed to have misunderstood something completely.

‘It seems like I’ve become some kind of great mastermind behind the scenes…?’

I just beat up a guy I didn’t like to help some poor kids.

The show’s effect was better than I thought, which was the problem.

I didn’t know the repercussions would reach that far.

‘Honestly, they wouldn’t believe me even if I told them now, right?’

Then it’s better to just let them believe it.

This domestic situation was further dramatized overseas.

-Oh my god. It’s like watching a movie.

-The cartels here are no joke, but I didn’t know there was a similar situation in Korea. I feel like I know how hard UTT has worked to overcome adversity.

UTT had already followed the typical growth narrative route.

As the story became even more dramatic, it fueled the local reaction even more.

The funny thing was that Yeonwoo’s name started to be mentioned as much as UTT in the meantime.

-Friends. Don’t forget. There’s a white knight who saved these UTT friends from the crisis!

It was none other than Trevi Hazel who started it all.

-Trevi showed up again. Doesn’t he get tired of it?

-Trevi, I’m tired of hearing your praise LOL But the main characters are UTT, friend!

-Wait a minute. Trevi’s not wrong. It was Trevi’s ‘he’ who helped UTT. I don’t know why ‘he’ doesn’t reveal himself, but the source of the CCTV footage that was released earlier was also ‘he’.

Was it because Yeonwoo didn’t particularly step forward and act?

Except for a few who knew the situation well, few people knew in detail that Yeonwoo was behind all of this.

‘No, well… why bother advertising it all over town?’

I was already burdened because it was even entangled in some political issues.

Yeonwoo even thought it was fortunate that he didn’t attract more attention than necessary when he heard about it from Lee Juha.

There was no need to reveal that he was the organizer of this whole show.

But.

-Trevi’s ‘he’. He’s more amazing than I thought?

Thanks to someone who was desperately fangirling across the sea, Yeonwoo’s clean work was spread by word of mouth among fans.

-‘He’ reminds me of the Dark Knight. It feels like he’s working in the shadows for everyone.

Was it because he saved UTT, who was already enjoying sensational popularity?

Yeonwoo became known as ‘Savior’ after ‘Master’ among overseas fans.

Some even suggested making this incident into a movie.

-I think a very sexy spy hero movie will come out? A hero who saves a star from a villain who has infiltrated society 😀 A hero who maintains the order of society without revealing himself. Hollywood, why aren’t you buying this story from me?

Of course, Yeonwoo, the person involved, didn’t know this.

He just,

“……?”

‘Why do I keep getting strange offers these days?’

He just brushed off the absurd casting offers that came in.

‘Why is a third-rate hero movie casting suddenly coming in from overseas?’

Is this spam?

It’s unlikely to be spam since it’s a proposal that the staff has filtered out and given to me.

Looking at it, it wasn’t even a formal casting.

‘They’re asking me to look at the story? Why?’

Maybe it’s a bad joke?

Yeonwoo mercilessly turned away from the absurd third-rate story.

There was nothing else strange besides that.

“What’s there to be serious about? The current problems are being solved on their own.”

I’m worried because it’s being solved too well.

That was the answer because he didn’t know the situation overseas.

But even if he had known, the answer wouldn’t have been much different.

[Yeonwoo, your dullness is charming, but sometimes I feel like I’m going to burst.]

“……?”

I hope he’s not picking a fight.

[Anyway, there’s something you don’t know.]

“What don’t I know?”

[I’m curious about everything you know, you.]

I guess he is picking a fight.

[My gut is telling me like crazy right now. You absolutely can’t come back if I send you alone.]

“What nonsense are you talking about? Why can’t I come back?”

[That’s why you don’t know the gravity of the situation.]

“…….”

I feel like the conversation is just going around in circles.

[It’s too long for me to explain… It’s too long of a story…]

The hamster, who seemed exhausted for some reason, stretched out his plump body.

Then he declared.

[Anyway, there’s a very high chance you won’t be able to come back if you go now.]

So why?

‘Well. It’s not like that guy acting weird is anything new.’

If he was going to tell me, he would have told me already.

One way or another, Donggaryeong is a ghost that has been around for at least decades.

His power is also completely different from ordinary ghosts.

It is entirely possible that he knows something Yeonwoo doesn’t.

[Then Yeonhwa will be so sad. No, no. Ugh. I know it’s necessary, but burying your bones there is another matter.]

Oh my.

Now even Ms. Kang’s name is coming up.

“Why wouldn’t I come back from there? I’m Korean? My taste is also Korean food?”

No matter how I think about it, there’s no reason to put down roots there…

‘Well. It would be a little different if I went into a movie or a project.’

But even then, it would only be a year or two at most?

But for some reason, that guy was so anxious as if he was going to put down roots overseas.

[You don’t know. How sticky the relationship is… Our actor is in danger. Actor… That’s right! Let’s catch the actor! Yeonwoo. Isn’t our actor the best? Our actor is great at being a supportive partner!]

“Is he crazy from earlier… ?”

The hamster, who had been acting like he was suffering alone, stretched out his plump body.

Then he declared.

[I’m going with you!]

“What are you saying…”

[This body will go with you!]

Yeonwoo’s eyes narrowed.

“Just say you wanted to come along. Don’t make up weird reasons.”

[No… really… well… it’s not that I’m curious about Trevi… I’m really worried about you, Yeonwoo…?]

“Just say Kang Yeosa [Ms. Kang] told you to go with me.”

[…Did I get caught?]

“Obviously.”

I was already bothered by the mention of Yeonhwa.

Seeing him declare that he would follow me, I knew exactly what was going on.

[But I’m serious! If I send you alone, you’ll never come back! I’m against foreigners! I’m against blue eyes! Our actor is clearly watching with his own two eyes, so no foreigners!]

“…Is he crazy?”

He’s an old ghost, so if he’s acting like that, there must be something going on.

‘He’s not just crazy, is he?’

If he’s a ghost wandering around without missing the time to leave, it’s not strange for him to be a little crazy somewhere.

It would be different if he was a ghost with high spiritual power, like a Donggaryeong or a general-level ghost, a ‘god’-level ghost that shamans serve.

‘The gods I saw on the deserted island were going crazy, so…’

Thinking about the forgotten god who gave me very useful stats and disappeared, it’s not like it’s not possible.

Still.

[I will protect our Yeonwoo.]

The hamster speaking solemnly didn’t seem particularly crazy.

And a few days later.

Yeonwoo boarded a plane to the United States.

“Wow… it’s my first time on a plane.”

“Oh. I’ve been on it a lot.”

“You’re from a foreign country, so of course!”

“Wow! The seats are automatically reclined!”

Accompanied by the noisy UTT, who couldn’t hide their excitement on their first plane ride.
