The Road To Glory [EN]: Chapter 233

[Side Story] 35. Wise Island Life (Part 1)

[Halo’s Variety Show Appearance Confirmed]

[The cast of ‘Wise Island Life’ is insane ㄷㄷ Suddenly a lineup of top stars]

[Who’s the PD bringing in only people who don’t do variety shows…? Who is this person?]

[Those three were in the same drama, but what’s Halo doing alone?]

└ Halo sang the OST [original soundtrack] for that drama

└ Ah, really?

[I almost turned off the TV after ‘Running Man,’ glad I didn’t]

[Halo’s on a variety show? How do I watch the teaser?]

[Isn’t this planned? Shin Joo-hyuk appears on ‘Running Man,’ a brief ‘that person’ talk, then the teaser is released afterㅋㅋㅋㅋYou guys are geniusesㅠㅠ]

“Geniuses my foot, it’s just a marketing ploy.”

[Am I the only one who finds it cute that Hae-il is the only one who wants to do music when everyone else is talking about housework?]

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋI’m more curious about the expressions everyone else made]

[Yeah, good thinking. Don’t do housework, release the next album]

“Cute my foot. He’s just a hopeless case.”

[I’d usually think he should help, but after seeing Welmaworld, not helping is probably helping]

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋDid you see the Halo Archmage meme made overseas with that?]

[Four Elements Magic – Fire and Destruction Magic / Rice Cooker Water Overflow / Nature-Friendly (Can’t Cut Vegetables) / Wind (Breaks Dishes)]

[The Heligan joke about it being holy water is a bit much, but it’s still funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[They’re serious, not joking]

[You might meet God early]

As the comments went off on a tangent, PD [Production Director] Kyung scoffed.

“When you become famous, people will clap even if you poop.”

It was funny how they were deifying him for not being good at housework.

PD Kyung bit his nails, examining the teaser reactions for ‘Wise Island Life’ a bit more.

What bothered him the most about ‘Wise Island Life’ wasn’t the successful production presentation, but when Halo and some kid’s animation appeared in the teaser.

He had felt uneasy ever since.

He searched to figure out what it was, but no one seemed interested.

Only these kinds of posts occasionally appeared:

[But who’s the kid looking at Halo?]

[Seeing them coming out of school, I guess he’s a teacher in the countryside, cute]

There weren’t many posts about what they were doing.

Just that their singer or actor was on a variety show.

“PD Kyung, we have a call from Teacher Kim Sun-cheol.”

Oh, okay.

He didn’t even realize his phone was ringing.

PD Kyung answered the phone.

They exchanged simple greetings.

When he said he was watching the teaser for his junior’s program, he heard a chuckle.

And as he talked on the phone, PD Kyung’s dark expression gradually brightened.

Kim Sun-cheol had recognized the kid who appeared there.

“I thought you might be worried, so I called.”

“Thank you, Teacher.”

The child named Gyeoul, whom PD Na had asked to be tested before, was fortunately not a prodigy. PD Kyung was relieved to hear that he couldn’t even match a simple musical note test.

He thought he had misunderstood and gritted his teeth.

‘Well, PD Na isn’t that petty.’

PD Kyung hung up the phone and closed the community page.

“Let’s not worry about it.”

His eyes turned to the clock.

Today was the day PD Na’s ‘Wise Island Life’ Episode 1 aired.

A sense of foreboding grew as the time approached.

‘It’ll be boring. It’ll be boring.’

He was a man blessed by the heavens, and Na Hye-joo wasn’t.

PD Kyung tried to shake off the anxiety, dismissing it as just a feeling.

:

However, Episode 1, the journey of the four people starting from their arrival on the island, began with laughter, showing the scene that had been edited out of the teaser.

The four people who went to the house they would be staying in for two weeks with the village chief arrived at their house.

“Okay, this is where you all will be staying.”

As the people in front admired and tried to enter, the village chief stopped them.

“Ah, not that way, this way.”

A shanty next to the big house, inside an old stone wall.

Viewers couldn’t help but laugh as Kwon Jae-ik’s expression was zoomed in on.

[His expression is all rottenㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Sora unnie [older sister] is trying to manage her expression late, but she already doesn’t like it]

[Can you even live in a house like that?]

Kwon Jae-ik, who had thoroughly looked around the house, discovered the stove and quickly backed away. Just like when we look around a clothing store and leave as soon as an employee approaches.

“Hey, PD Na. This isn’t right.”

“PD-nim [PD title], is this your true intention?”

It was too late to declare it a fraudulent contract.

People could see why Na PD was Na PD.

“You can rest while we set up the cameras, and when the filming is ready, everyone fighting! Fighting!”

Even though it was just a voice, his cheerfulness was infuriating.

[It is said that you should think three times before signing a contract with a PD with the surname Naㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[The parents who realized it was a fraudulent contract and are in despair, and the two sons who are just happy]

[Aren’t Lee Jung-min and Halo the richest? I feel like they’ll be the least adaptable to a place like that]

└ Lee Jung-min isn’t a gold spoon [born wealthy]

“Okay, shall we decide what roles we should do?”

People soon couldn’t help but laugh.

Because an interview before filming was shown after Kwon Jae-ik’s words.

There, Kwon Jae-ik said he came to earn money to buy a gift for his nephew and would just diligently do what he was told. And he revealed his ambition to blend in next to interesting people.

[A total messㅋㅋㅋㅋ No one’s doing anythingㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Lee So-ra: Never done housework / Lee Jung-min: Grew up precious / Halo: 222]

└Lee Jung-min didn’t grow up precious, why are there false rumors? Lee Jung-min is self-made

[Does everyone know? Halo is a gold spoon, but Kwon Jae-ik is the only grandson of the Kwon family for three generations, so he grew up the most preciousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

“Cleaning? It looks cleaner than my house.”

It was going exactly the opposite way.

“Hae-il, is there anything you want to do?”

“Well, music?”

“That’s good.”

Kwon Jae-ik’s eyes flared up when Lee Jung-min said that.

Unaware of that, the others were coddling him.

“Are we going to have our Hae-il sing?”

“Wow, a bard, a bard!”

[ㅅㅂBardㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[But this is right for Hae-il… You shouldn’t do housework… Yeah, you shouldn’t…]

“What’s so good about it? A bard my foot! Are these guys doing a hidden camera prank on me?”

Kwon Jae-ik grabbed the back of his neck and was furious.

[I thought Na PD was a scammer, but it turns out there’s only one victimㅋ]

[I didn’t expect it to be fun because they’re all variety show beginners, but the chemistry is crazyㅋㅋㅋ]

[Everyone’s just the characters from ‘From Today, We Are’ themselvesㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Teacher Kwon and the disobedient class president, Hee-tae who’s not on the same side, and Hae-il who didn’t come to school because he was doing music]

└ Didn’t come to school because he was doing music<< └ Noㅋㅋ That's so plausible └ It's really the adult version of 'From Today, We Are'ㅋ # If there's laughter, there's also a twist. Just like Welmaworld, who wasn't good at housework but was good at his main job. With the appearance of another housework master, 'Wise Island Life' flowed in an unpredictable direction. “I’ll fix it, noona [older sister].” “Ah, the screw comes off when you turn it. I’ll hold it.” [Why is Lee Jung-min so good at housework] [Lee So-ra is also cooperating better than I thought. She just hasn't done it before, but she'll do well if she does?] [But where did they get the light bulb? Did the production team help without pretending to help?] Clearly, Na PD did what Na PD does. “But where do we get our food ingredients? Or necessary supplies….” “You have to get them yourself. You can go to the sea or the mountains, farm, or do favors for the villagers.” “!” [Farmingㅋㅋㅋㅋ What kind of farming are they supposed to do for two weeks] [Sea or mountains? Hunting and gathering for the actors?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [They're just telling them to get a part-time job] [Jae-ik hyung [older brother], who went to rest, is now a part-time worker;;] So, on the first day, when they brought back a light bulb, Kwon Jae-ik asked where they got it. The production team was the same. “Where did you get this?” The PD asked in surprise. Lee Jung-min said with a smile. “Hae-il got it from the village chief.” “! I told them not to help?” “No, PD Na. You told them not to help?” He had clearly told the villagers to treat them like strangers, but there was an exception. The villagers already knew the boy. “Little boss, when did you come?” “No, you can't clean with such small hands. Wait a minute. I'll lend you mine.” “Oh my, the young man who sings well? He's here to play again?” [Ah Welmaworld] [Ah, the villagers know Hae-il] [Blood ties and regionalism are here too ㄷㄷㄷ] [Na PD is flustered by the situation not going as intended... This is precious] The villagers didn't see the boy as a stranger. The villagers had already given something to the boy, who had even sung at the village hall before, avoiding the camera - in fact, it was all captured - and even “Hello, I enjoyed the kimchi you gave me last time. It was really delicious.” “! Was it delicious? Should I give you more? If you're going to eat more, I'll take it out.” “Then thank you.” “Young man, do you need anything? Tell me secretly.” “Ah, well, it's cold these days-.” “Ah, a blanket? Wait, I think I have a blanket put away.” “Thank you for taking care of me.” Hae-il's performance in calmly accepting everything was also great. [No, he's just shamelessly asking for itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] Clearly, what Na PD wanted was for the cast members to eat rice with water and burn with determination to work part-time, but on the first day, a 23-course meal was prepared, no less than a king's table. [The reason why companies hire people with good connections] [Our parachute [someone hired due to connections] also immediately landed a contract that we couldn't get for years. I asked how he did it, and he said it was his friend's dad, so he asked him to do it while eating. After that, no one criticized him for not being able to work] [Who dares to insult the Minister of Foreign Affairs?] 'T, this isn't it.' The production team had no room to intervene as Hae-il sang and paid the 'price.' It might have been different if it was an experienced production team. Anyway, the picture of the cast winning against the production team was quite fresh and attractive. The people who ate and sat together on the porch said. “By the way, we’re supposed to be appointed as temporary teachers from tomorrow, have you all thought about what subjects to teach?” Kwon Jae-ik answered. “Me, music? [?????] [Isn't Halo right next to you?] “Why? I can teach some music.” Along with that, his 2nd album was uploaded on the screen. [Yeah, he can teach a little, but wasn't singing for an hour at a fan meeting a bit too much...] [How many hours was the fan meeting?] [...Two hours] [ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] “Don’t you think I can teach a little? The kids like me too.” With that one word, the words 'Just a moment here' came up. And it shows what happened the next day. Kwon Jae-ik playing soccer with the kids during physical education class, and eventually making them cry because he didn't go easy on them Kwon Jae-ik making them cry at everything [You···take good care of···the children···] [Jae-ik hyung [older brother]···let's just walk the path of acting] Lee So-ra continued. “Me, a math teacher? Isn't it cool to draw on the chalkboard?” At first, the reaction was good. A beautiful math teacher. Isn't that a fantasy animal that only exists in imagination? [Wow, if I had a math teacher like Sora noona [older sister], I'd get a grade 1 right away] But soon the reality was revealed. “Seven eights are?” “···63?” “Ah···.” “The kid is still an actress, please edit it.” In the midst of the collective silence, the production team's laughter was quietly laid down at Kwon Jae-ik's words. [Who said they'd get a grade 1 if they had a math teacher like Lee So-ra?] [ㅎㅎSora noona [older sister], be a math teacher. I'll watch the online lectures and study on my own] [ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋIs that even a math teacher] “Jung-min, what do you want to do?” “I'm science? I majored in chemistry and physics in high school. Chemistry and physics are more fun. So, how about a science teacher? I'm interested in quantum entanglement these days, so I'm looking it up.” “Everyone knows, right? He won the Nobel Prize in Physics-.” Lee Jung-min's case was a little different. “Is it a little difficult? I thought it was an interesting topic.” [Ah;;; I know, I know] [Ah, my friend is good at thatㅋㅋ] [Um···.] [To elementary school students···?] Viewers who had ridiculed Lee So-ra became collectively silent. [Is Halo going to do music?] They just changed the subject and waited for Halo's answer. However, if Lee Jung-min sprinkled water on them, the boy slapped them with water. “Well, is there anything to teach about music?” “!” “You naturally learn it through various experiences. Everyone likes music, so no one teaches it.” [ㅋㅋㅋ···ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ···.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Is···. Is that the same?] [You naturally learn musicㅠㅠㅠㅠ] When their subjects were revealed the next day, people could still laugh. Because it was done exactly the opposite of what the cast members wanted. Kwon Jae-ik, who wanted to do music, was in charge of physical education, Hae-il, who wanted to do physical education, was in charge of music as expected. Lee So-ra, who wanted to do math, was assigned to art, Lee Jung-min, who wanted to do science, was assigned to the Korean language. A child called out to Halo, and Episode 1 ended. The reaction was needless to say. [I didn't expect anything, but the chemistry is crazy] [I thought it was a cultural affairs department, so I thought it would be similar to Memento, but it's a comedy] └ Why is a talent from the entertainment department in the cultural affairs department··· [Kwon Jae-ik who was scammed and three grasshoppers] [Summary: Michelin chef, self-sufficiency master, our sister, and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Culture Noh Hae-il] └ What's our sisterㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ └ The production team didn't protect the dignity of the actress... └ But Hae-il really gets everything └ I thought it was a joke, but he was really a bard;; He sings and gets food [Am I the only one laughing that everything everyone said was the oppositeㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Halo says he's not close to the kids, but he's the one who gets along the best.] └ Hae-il was a kid just the other day, why do you hate himㅋㅋㅋㅋ The entertainment community and popular search terms were dominated by 'Wise Island Life' 'HALO' 'From Today, We Are'. The head of the cultural affairs department, who smiled brightly after seeing the viewership chart, praised the two PDs before calling the head of the entertainment department to tease him. “How good is it that successful programs coexist? Just maintain the status quo, PD Kyung. And our PD Na, fighting.” PD Kyung was determined to do what he had been doing so far. However, what he was worried about came out as 'Wise Island Life' Episode 2 aired. Exactly when Halo's full-fledged music class and the child named Gyeoul appeared there. Someone compared it to Kim Sung-cheol's music class in 'Me, Mento,' gnawing at PD Kyung's nerves.
