The Trashy PD Has To Survive as an Idol

ortunately, I still remembered how to solve it to some extent.
But…

I’m a bit worried.

Should I try my best? Or not?

If I establish an intellectual image here, how much attention will I attract in the future? Or, in the worst-case scenario, would it make things worse?

It’s good to attract attention, but how much buzz will it create?

…To not lose to those ruthless people, I have no choice.

After weighing various conditions, I nodded my head.

I twirled my pencil, wrote my name, and began to solve the problems one by one from question.

“Wow, this is really difficult.”

PD Choi looked at the submitted test papers with Yu Jia, who finished earlier.
Seo Hoyun was talking to Joo Woosung after handing in the test paper.

PD Choi chuckled slyly.

“Right? It’s a college entrance exam from two years ago.”

“How can you expect us to solve this?”

“Ahaha, do you think I brought it for you to solve? I brought it for you to receive a penalty.”

“That’s too targeted at Seo Hoyun.”

“Seo Hoyun is a variety show rookie.
He has to go through the initiation.
How about this for a penalty: stick a fake mustache and write his name with his butt?”

“For an idol…?”

“How cute, right!”

Has he lost his touch?

PD Choi winked.
Yu Jia glanced at Seo Hoyun.

She had felt it when she saw him in the Shining Star, but he was an unusual junior.
He was unusually calm, and PD Kim Heeyeon treated him kindly as if he were a sore finger.

He has a strong mentality, he’s shameless, and he has good eyes.
He seems to be quite good at acting too.

Yu Jia sipped her coffee and stealthily observed her junior.
It didn’t matter if her junior ended up wearing a fake mustache or not, but she tried to gauge his potential.

It was subtly intriguing whether the thick-skinned Seo Hoyun had any plans to try acting in the future.

Should I ask him sometime, even though it’s none of my business?

“PD! PD Choi!”

“Oh, did the results come out?”

The staff member who had gone to grade the submitted test papers rushed back, panting.
PD Choi was excited at the thought of discovering a talented rookie idol after a long time.

“How many points did Seo Hoyun get? If he guessed, did he get at least 30 points?”

“No, that’s… ”

“Why? Is it worse? If it’s too bad, we’ll just edit the score.
Being ridiculed for being ignorant is the worst look for a celebrity.”

Then why on earth did you make him solve a college entrance exam English question…?

Although the staff member grumbled inwardly, that was not the important issue.

Yu Jia, who was next to them, absentmindedly drank her coffee and then spit it out when she heard the staff’s words.

“Seo Hoyun got 97 points! He got only one 3-point question wrong!”

“…What?”

“He’s in first place! Even among the extras, he’s first!”

PD Choi, who had been momentarily frozen like a buffering computer, quickly snatched the paper and checked the name neatly written in the top right corner.

[Seo Hoyun]

“…??”

As PD Choi was looking at the test paper with a disbelieving face, Seo Hoyun and Joo Woosung, who had been chatting in the corner, stealthily approached.

“Can I see it too?”

“…Se-Seo Hoyun.”

Even after seeing the written score of 97 points, he remained calm and, after briefly glancing at the back of the paper, just smiled awkwardly.

“Ah, I got this one wrong.
That’s a shame.”

“….”

“It was difficult.”

At that moment, everyone at the shooting location had the same thought in their minds.

What the hell is this guy…?

“Seo Hoyun, shouldn’t you be going to college now instead of being an idol? How about studying?”

Joo Woosung seriously asked, annoyingly sulking, as I raised one eyebrow and met his gaze.

“It’s okay.”

I’ve already been there.

“What! What a waste of your brain.”

“I just guessed well.”

“Wow, even being so humble… it’s annoyingly cool….”

Did you know how hard it was to pass the PD recruitment exam…? I studied so hard that I thought my head was going to explode.
It had been over ten years, so it made sense that I would have forgotten, but as I solved it, the memories came back.

It’s ridiculous to label oneself as a genius for answering one college entrance exam subject well, but when an unexpected person does it, it became a hot topic.

“Seo Hoyun, did you prepare for the college entrance exam by any chance?”

“Even you, sunbae, why are you doing this?”

Seeing even Yu Jia asking with a serious expression, it seemed that the story was too well-received.
Joo Woosung kept nagging beside her.

“How high did you rank in your school when you were studying?”

“Stop asking, is it a holiday now?”

“Go to the Making People Speechless competition.”

Even though Yu Jia and Joo Woosung were making a fuss next to me, I only glanced at PD Choi.

It seemed like I secured airtime.

Yu Jia: “This isn’t for someone like me, who can go anywhere with the wind and the sky.”

Seo Hoyun: (hollow laugh)

Joo Woosung: (shocked) (got hit by a tray again)

Who will be the most immersive?

└Joo Woosung can’t immerse at all, I thought his laughter was too low, but he screamed when he made a good comment (like 1283)

└└Let’s start with our high laughter slowly]

PD Choi: “Hoyun, what should be your punishment?” ㅎㅎ (a moment later…)

PD Choi: “97 points…?”

Seo Hoyun: (glances) “That’s a shame.”

PD Choi: “???”

Seo Hoyun: “It was difficult” ㅎㅎ

Staff: “?????”

└└??: Celebrities can study like that while earning money! Huh?

└└Ah! That’s a script~

└Seo Hoyun, a man who has it all – looks, skills, and brains… But as the 24th descendant of Kim Gyeongju, I, Kim Je Eun, couldn’t have it (like 411)
