Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.2

Chapter 246

The production of the variety show went more smoothly than expected.

We initially planned to install unmanned cameras and release the episodes in WeTube's format. However, as soon as the headquarters heard about it, they contacted us.

- There happens to be an open spot at CVN. How about doing it there?

After a bit of research, it turns out that a drama show has been on hiatus for about two weeks due to casting issues. They offered to put us in that slot.

Naturally, this was not a common offer.

"They're complying with us more than I thought."

"Yeah."

"I know right~ They're being quite sensible!"

The other guys had similar opinions.

It was clear that this was a strategy to mend the relationship with TeStar.

However, Bae Sejin found it distasteful, describing it as a baiting move.

"It's like they're telling us to clean up their mess. We're not even doing singer activities, just a variety show...!"

Although there might be some truth to it, he couldn't strongly assert his opinion.

"Of course... since we decided not to sue, it shouldn't matter."

As we decided not to go through with the lawsuit.

"Ah, hyung, about that..."

"Huh?"

"I'm thinking of gathering and organizing the material we collected for the lawsuit. Is that okay?"

"Uh, well, I guess it's fine... but why?"

"There's something I'd like to check."

"...?"

Bae Sejin looked puzzled, but obediently handed over the documents.

And I was slightly surprised.

'...He researched all the judicial precedents.'

From the situation with the former manager to legal counsel. The collected evidence was surprisingly thorough and realistic. When added to the call and text history I had recorded, it would make a strong case if we decided to proceed with the lawsuit.

I had to admit it.

'This is impressive.'

If Bae Sejin had been given the opportunity, he might have had a real chance at winning the case.

It would still be a problem, given that it would take over a year, and there would be no major agency and mainstream broadcasting companies in the industry who would want to accept us.

However, as Bae Sejin said, if there were more cases like this, the industry atmosphere might change.

"What-, what do you think?

I answered honestly. The evidence of hard work and focus deserved it.

"Actually, I'm considering achieving a similar effect to a lawsuit in a different way."

"...! Is that possible?"

"I'm not sure yet since I'm also trying to think of a method... but the material you've prepared are very good, hyung, so I'd like to consult with you once I've organized my thoughts, if you don't mind."

"Of course, that's fine!"

Bae Sejin seemed somewhat bewildered after speaking, but overall, his mood seemed to have improved.
