Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

[Mission supplies detected as ready.]

[Special reward provided in recognition of the host's positive response to the mission!]

[A high-quality wig will be awarded as a reward.]

Inside the rooftop room in Itaewon-dong.

Jiang Xingchen was silently looking at the gleaming trophy in her hand.

He bought this after wandering around several shops in the vicinity after parting ways with Park Jiyeon and the others.

There are no engravings yet.

There was nowhere for him to engrave the trophy late at night.

He was just thinking about how to give the trophy away without making it too awkward.

In his mind, the system's voice rang out without the slightest fluctuation.

Before he could react...

A black wig appeared out of thin air on the table in front of me.

He picked it up out of curiosity.

Just as the system description says, the texture is excellent.

Unlike the dryness of synthetic wigs on the market, this wig feels like real hair that has just been treated, smooth and shiny.

Extremely thin bio-lace was used at the hairline.

If all goes well, it will most likely be completely invisible once worn.

Let's leave aside those who enjoy awkward situations for now.

The technical support provided by the system has always been very good.

However, he still wanted to vent a bit.

"Hey, why did you give me a wig?"

"Do you expect me to wear a wig and go on stage to dance to 'Lies'?"

"Also, next time, please 'grow' out of your backpack and pop out with a 'whoosh,' so you don't scare me."

What if I scare the flowers and plants?

"I might even be taken away to have my tissue sliced ​​later!"

Jiang Xingchen, whose thoughts were interrupted by the wig, knew that the system would not give any response, but still output a series of messages to the air.

Without him.

I have to get this off my chest.

After he finished complaining, he casually stuffed the seemingly useless wig into the corner of his backpack.

He then collapsed onto the sofa, continuing to ponder how to complete the task.

She has already established a fairly good relationship with Park Jiyeon and Park Hyomin.

If we continue to complete the task in such an awkward manner...

It would be better to kill him and settle the matter.

at the same time.

On the highway from NamYZ City back to Seoul.

Ham Eun-jung sat in the second row of the van, coldly watching Lee Hwa-soo drive.

Just as she and her assistant Xia Minying finished packing their things and were planning to find a way to drive back themselves, the agent who had disappeared for several hours reappeared in front of them.

His face showed a hint of apology.

Yan said he had to go back to the company because of something urgent.

She didn't say anything to this, only saying "Thank you for your hard work" in a light tone.

Thinking he had successfully fooled the two, Lee He-soo's face showed a relaxed smile.

I don't know.

His whereabouts had already been exposed to everyone due to an unexpected encounter.

Besides assistant Xia Minying.

After staring at his profile for a while, Ham Eun-jung looked away and gazed at the dark night outside the window.

After a long silence, he slowly began to speak.

"Hwasoo Oppa".

"What?"

"Just now in the dressing room, Lee Jae-jin made the same request as at noon."

"You mean, the thing about cutting your hair short?"

We talked about this during our lunch break.

Li Hexiu was also present at the time, so when she heard her talking about it, she quickly realized what had happened.

"Inside."

Seeing that he wasn't pretending to be stupid, Ham Eun-jung responded softly.

Then, while seemingly still looking out the window, she was observing Li Hexiu's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

After a brief silence of a few seconds.

The agent's response did not disappoint.

"Every decision PDnim makes is considered from the perspective of the entire series."

"Since he has brought it up so many times, it means that it may really be necessary."

"I think you should consider Eun-jung."

Think about it.

The answer given by Li Hexiu.

It seems to be a simple analysis of the problem from Ham Eun-jung's perspective.

In reality, they didn't consider their own artists at all.

Not to mention kicking the ball back.

He also subtly advised her to agree.

It's really disappointing.

Ham Eun-jung responded faintly and then said no more.

"Senior, but the recent ratings haven't been bad, and there's no reason in the script for 'Eun-sung' to cut her hair short!"

At this moment, Xia Minying, the assistant sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but speak up.

Disappearing for a few hours is good.

They don't even consider things from the perspective of their own artists at times like this.

What kind of agent does that?

"Hey..." Lee Hwa-soo, unable to control Ham Eun-jung, raised his voice slightly upon hearing this, and retorted with displeasure, "Is this how you talk to your senior?"

"Call upon Hamida..."

Faced with the strict seniority system, Xia Minying, who had been reprimanded, suppressed her displeasure and bowed her head to admit her mistake.

Although Ham Eun-jung was there, she wouldn't be left behind halfway.

But who knows what methods Li Hexiu will use to punish her?

Ham Eun-jung, who had intended to speak up in defense of Ha Min-young, saw that Ha Min-young reacted quickly and decided not to say anything more.

...

...

Click...

Late at night, in a luxury apartment in Cheongdam-dong.

Ham Eun-jung, who had been busy all day, finally returned home.

He casually tossed his handbag onto the entryway cabinet, walked straight to the sofa, and collapsed heavily onto it.

After taking a short nap, he picked up his phone and called Park Jiyeon.

When filming ended earlier, she learned from Ha Min-young that Park Ji-yeon and others knew that Lee Hwa-soo was not on set.

I immediately realized that I must have bumped into him somewhere.

So they didn't rush to contact him.

This is the perfect time.

"Unnie, are you home yet?"

"Has something happened on set?"

Although it was late at night, the call was answered within two seconds of being dialed.

Despite Jiang Xingchen's analysis, Park Jiyeon's tone was still inevitably anxious after waiting for such a long time to receive the call.

"I just arrived, that's why I called you."

The concern coming through the receiver eased Ham Eun-jung's annoyed mood considerably, and then she started talking about what was happening on set, "It's nothing much, it's just that the PD wants to pursue better ratings, so he wants me to cut my hair short."

"A haircut?"

"Yes," Ham Eun-jung replied softly, "but there's no content about that in the later episodes. PDnim and I disagreed a bit, and he came over again when he finished work that night."

"What did you say?"

"He didn't say much, just..."

"He wouldn't be thinking of rewriting the script to make Unnie leave the show early, would he?"

The slight pause was noticed by Park Jiyeon, who was listening intently to the phone call, and she naturally gave her guess.

Ham Eun-jung's silence confirmed this.

"Unnie, are you considering this?"

After a few seconds of silence, Park Jiyeon tentatively asked a question.

After all, it's normal for an actor to make certain sacrifices for a role.

However, based on the current situation, it's not that the actors compromised with the script, but rather that they compromised with a particular person.

Moreover, once a compromise is reached, there's no way to predict the outcome.

Therefore, after making a tentative question, she left with the words "Wait a few minutes" and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Ham Eun-jung was left completely bewildered.

At that moment, Park Jiyeon, who had just hung up the phone, found Jiang Xingchen's number and dialed it.

While waiting for the call to connect, he kept muttering to himself.

"Consultant Jiang, answer the phone!"

"Consultant Jiang..."

"Advisor Kang Oppa!"

"Kang Oppa!"

"Oppa... are you sleeping so soundly?"

"Hey... Jiang Xingchen!"

"Oh? Jiang Xingchen?"
