“Crazy!!!”
And she clipped it on instinct. It wasn’t even drama footage, but she had to upload it on her account.

–Please... act gently... I can’t sleep because I have goosebumps T_T

–They said it’s ASMR TT_TT You lied! You lied!
–Isn’t ASMR supposed to be sothing you watch before sleeping, f*ck this just won’t let sleep...
As expected, the reaction was explosive. In less than 24 hours, the views shot past 150,000. Comnts and likes piled up like crazy.
Comnts 7,762
Just as the rookie expected, a pioneering of yet another new genre had been accomplished. And the frontrunner was Han Yeoreum.

Jegal Rok reviewed the report. If he were to summarize the neatly organized file in one line:
‘Success.’
Once again, the graph was curving upward. After the video upload, both views and subscribers spiked sharply. Jegal Rok lifted his phone and spoke briefly.
“Tell the team again. Ask if she changed her mind about appearing.”
On the very day Han Yeoreum finished filming, he had watched the original footage.
There was no way to believe it was a low-budget content video. Jegal Rok imdiately sent her a casting offer for the mystery film scheduled to premiere in a few months.
“But that’s... if it were an interview maybe, but introducing the film as content like the ASMR might have limits. It might end up getting consud as a .”
But the answer was a cautious decline. Without spatial imrsion, without music, without polished editing—when a single actor had to carry the entire video alone—there was only so much they could expect.
Jegal Rok looked at Han Yeoreum, who was still frozen on the monitor, already becoming a fast-rising issue.
“And also send the sales trajectory for .”
The public is transparent. If they are interested, they move. As they had during , they spread the word without being asked, and they purchase without being pushed.
Jegal Rok skimd again through the proposal from a brand that wanted PPL placent in the new web drama. The ad budget line contained a much higher number than before.
[We will deliver the sales trajectory tomorrow morning. However, there has been a aningful change in the rankings. , which was outside the top 300, is now settled at #2.]
Below Han Yeoreum’s video, they had placed a link to the original webnovel Strange Tales.
Strange Tales had not been a particularly successful work. But after skimming the scenario, Jegal Rok liked the version brought by Team Leader Seong—despite the existence of many novels with far higher views and stronger core fandoms.
This one was instinct.
“It’s #1.”
When he opened the app, the rankings had already updated. The novel, which had been pushed far outside the charts for years since completion, was now proudly sitting at #1. When he clicked the comnts and scrolled down, everyone ntioned the video.
–Raise your hand if you ca here after watching the Intube video
˪ I tried a little taste and it was so scary I ca to check out the original
˪The sli sound keeps replaying in my ears T_T lolololol
Jegal Rok looked at the Strange Tales scenario on his desk and opened the file. A list of works JC ENM planned to invest in was displayed.
Click—.
He selected the Strange Tales buried down below and dragged it all the way to the top. He wanted JC ENM’s capital to bring this story into the world.
“We’re revising all plans.”
The string of successes made the ssage unmistakable. A new wave. To open an era different from the one before, they needed Han Yeoreum.
“Project A. Let’s launch an actor label.”
It was ti for JC ENM to create a new label.
* * *
“O~~~ Yeoreum~~~.”
This was the filming site of the movie . The mont I walked in, I was greeted by the staff. It seed everyone had watched the Strange Tales video.
“Yeoreum, what is that? A drama? A movie? What is it?”
“Just a one-off content piece. ASMR.”
“What! And you’re that good? I thought JC was making another web drama!”
The staff’s reactions were intense. Maybe because I was a rookie, more people felt comfortable talking to .
‘So this is... the flavor of being the protagonist....’
Praise really was sweet.
‘I even hit Trending Videos. Please, everyone, praise more.’
This ASMR video had ridden the algorithm and reached the Trending list. It might have been near the bottom, but for the video length, the comnts were blazing. Many people asked for more videos like this.
“That’s right! I watched it too. You were good. And your vibe now is totally—completely different from then.”
Director Gong approached with the storyboard to give movent instructions. He smiled as he praised .
“I’m expecting you to do well today too. Makes rewriting the script worth it!”
Today’s shoot was the club scene. The reason I’d even passed the audition in the first place. The place where Influencer 1 appeared the longest.
“If it feels a bit hard, let know. You’re twenty, so you probably don’t know clubs well. Your body might stiffen up. So actors get better if they take a teeny—tiny—bit of alcohol. Just a little.”
“Yes. I’ll do my best!”
I smiled at Director Gong. Unlike when I’d worked with Detective Yoon, today the number of people on set was huge.
Elite Detective Yoon, the physical-type Detective Kwak, gangsters, club-goers. A single NG would waste a ridiculous amount of money.
‘On a set, ti is literally money.’
It had been Director Gong’s gamble to increase the screen ti of a rookie with so little experience.
But I planned to get through today with no NGs again.
‘Because it opened. The Item Shop.’

The Item Shop had opened when the Ruel Style Awards ended and a string of articles followed.
[Ruel Style Awards’ chosen rookie, ’s Han Yeoreum... not frozen fish but a chic # Nоvеlight # young lady~]
[Winner’s speech at the Ruel Style Awards, “Please invite again next year” WOMAN OF INSPIRATION award]
Honestly, I didn’t think it was that big of an award. I figured the aning was that it was the first ti I received sothing—just that.
“...It’s more impressive than I thought...?”
I suddenly understood viscerally what “a line that can generate an extra article” ans to a celebrity.
“So this is why there are so many award shows.”
Because you have to constantly generate things that pique public interest.
While I was skimming through articles, the status window popped up again.
Dding—!
[Level Up!]
More and more people now recognize your na instead of your character’s. Congratulations! Your level has been recalibrated.
