The Road to Glory - Chapter 234
[Extra Story] Episode 36. Real and Fake
Shin Joo-hyuk: No, if I knew it would be this entertaining, I would have asked you to come with me.
Even after the broadcast of “The Wise Island Life,” Haeylo’s daily life didn’t change much.
Receiving the sheet music for the songs in Haeylo’s EP 14th album and No Hae-il’s 2nd regular album, the members’ faces briefly lit up, but this wasn’t the first time.
Label staff actively assisted in preparing for Haeylo and No Hae-il’s comeback.
However, it’s not like nothing has changed at all.
With Haeylo’s first variety show appearance, the offers poured in like a flood, and even personal contacts increased. But this was the staff’s doing.
After the comeback, they seemed to be dedicated to album production for the time being. Whether Haeylo’s interest arises again, who knows.
“Drama? Why are we getting drama offers?”
“A lot of similar variety show offers came in.”
“The broadcasting station contacted us to schedule music show dates, even though they don’t know when Haeylo’s comeback is. Do you happen to know if they’re making a comeback?”
While the label staff handled the offers and various administrative tasks, Haeylo received quite a lot of contacts from acquaintances around the time of the teaser release.
A flood appeared on the variety show! I must watch it, noona.
When did you become interested in variety shows?
I’ve been busy lately, can I call you back later?
Haeil, please don’t forget that I’m your first producer.
The alternating calls, almost like a promise, were usually similar in content.
Shin Joo-hyuk: Do you know how many times I’ve been told to bring Haeil, the guy who runs, with me?
Shin Joo-hyuk: They interrogated me about stopping you. I said I’d stop you, but are you the one who’s going to stop?
Shin Joo-hyuk: It was edited for the broadcast, but it wasn’t a joke in reality.
Haeil replied that he enjoyed watching the clips of Shin Joo-hyuk pressuring him.
Shin Joo-hyuk: Enjoying it?
Shin Joo-hyuk: Yeah, you must be enjoying it. People need to know this. What’s really scary is not me, but you. I was so kind to accept the guy who used informal language from our first meeting.
Haeil chuckled.
What’s kind about it.
Shin Joo-hyuk, who usually doesn’t recommend things, recommended it.
Haeil, who had only seen a few clips, asked, “Was it fun?”
[Translated to English]
[Shin Joo-hyuk: There are a lot of interesting people, so the editing point is a bit harsh.]
[Shin Joo-hyuk: You don’t have to worry.]
[Shin Joo-hyuk: Just do what you want to do.]
No matter what the producer draws, it will reflect what Halo wants to do. Shin Joo-hyuk was convinced after seeing a novice boy carrying the show in a clever island life, thinking that he probably did what he wanted to do without considering the editing point or the entertainment. That must be what the public expects. It’s a blessed broadcasting talent.
Even if it causes controversy, he won’t hear that it’s not fun.
With that in mind, Shin Joo-hyuk burst into laughter after seeing Halo’s reply.
[Shin Joo-hyuk: Haha]
[Shin Joo-hyuk: You? Haha, who told you that?]
[Shin Joo-hyuk: Did the producer tell you that? Haha]
[Shin Joo-hyuk: Haha]
Useless guy.
He sent consonants in a row, as if he had nothing to do.
[Translation]
[Shin Juhyuk: We’re not going out right now, but when will you return? How about that?]
[Not much longer]
[Shin Juhyuk: ? 1]
[Shin Juhyuk: Are you making a comeback? 1]
[Shin Juhyuk: With Halo’s second regular album? 1]
[Shin Juhyuk: Look at your phone. 1]
[Shin Juhyuk: Hey hey hey hey. 1]
Shin Juhyuk, surprised by the bombshell statement, sent something, but Halo ignored it in order to focus on work again. After recording, there was a mountain of things to do, such as music videos, stages, and album covers.
“Should we start again?”
“Yes!”

After the airing of the first episode of “The Joyful Island Life,” or “Joy Island” for short, the behind-the-scenes footage from episode 7, which will be released on Friday Welma Month, was revealed, and the excitement continued into the second episode of “Joy Island” on Sunday.
[I love watching the behind-the-scenes footage on Welma Month after watching the first episode of “The Joyful Island Life” and then watching the second episode. It’s like a feast of hints.]
[Thank you, PD-nim ㅠㅠㅠ I don’t know where to gather people who don’t appear on variety shows, but I bow in all directions. Please live long and prosper, make a lot of money, and do it until season 100]
[Translate to english]
Oh, the synchronization of the characters and actors is so funny, the casting must have gone crazy.
Except for Heetae, everything is the same.
└ Heetae has grown up as an adult.
└ We prayed for Season 2 from today, but it seems like it’s been granted, so I’m happy.
[After watching the first episode of “Seulgi’s Island Life” + “Wellma Wol,” I felt that No Haeil was probably absent due to his music activities at “O.U” school. If Haeyil had been absent, No Haeil and the kids from 3rd grade, class 2, would have debuted with Kwon Sami.]
└ Haha, before that, No Haeil wasn’t a character in “Oh.Woo,” lol.
└ No, I think he appeared, he’s in my memory!
└ Actually, he was there as part of Halo, responsible for singing.
Kwon Sam and Sora unni swept away by “The Sun’s My Face” + and swept away by Lee Jungmin. jpeg
Until then, people had accepted “Seulgi’s Island Life” as a country diary of four top stars.
The reason why “music” is tagged in “Seulgi’s Island Life” was discovered when the cast temporarily took on teaching roles at a school and encountered a child.
As soon as they arrived at the school, a child with disheveled hair ran up to them and clung to Halo.
People were surprised, but Halo recognized the child.
“Are you doing well?”
“Yeah!”
The child then greeted the people around.
“Hello.”
And an inserted interview.
The child, who looked around as if it was their first time with the camera, introduced themselves.
“Hello, I’m Jin Gyeoul. I’m ten years old, and my favorite food is… I like everything my mom makes! And I also like music…!”
With twinkling eyes, people screamed at the child in a pink dress running on the stage.
The Winter, who was cute until then, gained attention when Halo conducted a mock class disguised as a music class.
[“Mozart’s Dice Game? I didn’t think much of it, but you made it yourself??”]
[“Did you hear Halo muttering ‘This works’??”]
[“Do you really compose like that?”]
[“Wow, I want to do it too.”]
[“Can I see the sketchbook over there?”]
[“Haha, this kid doesn’t even pretend to be in a slump anymore.”]
At first, Halo played the piano, but when he stepped back, Winter took over the piano.
The page turner was flipping through the sketchbook to find the right page for the number, but Gyeowool ended up playing alone.
“Huh?! How did you know?”
“Just now, I played it…”
[?]
[“It did come up once earlier.”]
[“Did you memorize it in the meantime?”]
[“Is it a trick?”]
[“Isn’t it possible to memorize it?”]
[“You played three rounds of dice in the meantime and you can still memorize it? Isn’t he a prodigy?”]
[“He looks… like the second coming of Halo…”]
“Teacher, there’s no number 132.”
“Oh.”
As Halo approached to play the missing 132, Gyeowool watched him play with concentration.
I thought he was just a cute kid. But something felt off.
PD Kyeong’s legs trembled again.
Even though Kim Seoncheol asserted that he wasn’t a prodigy, isn’t that him?
Halo spoke.
“Now, do you remember?”
The girl replied.
“Yeah!”
Since “Sulseom” was a story about the adaptation of the cast, Gyeowool’s story was all there was to it, but as weeks passed and the episodes increased, more and more stories about Gyeowool came out.
And what made me directly suspect that she was a prodigy was when Halo admitted it.
While discussing how she met Winter with the cast, Winter’s sketchbook naturally came out, and Winter excitedly ran to get the sketchbook as if to show it off.
People saw a picture filled with musical notes.
This is crazy, what is this? Is she really a prodigy?
At this point, the reactions of the viewers and the cast matched.
Moreover, Halo directly interpreted the obscure sheet music.
Usually, a child draws a picture in the center of the sketchbook, and the picture gradually spreads out, just like this sheet music starts in the center.
And Halo played the guitar.
“Can I see the next one too?”
Winter’s eyes sparkled, and she showed the next page.
This time, the staff lines were drawn properly.
Halo glanced at it and smirked.
“It’s fine.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. You worked hard.”
Winter’s face brightened.
“Damn, where’s the evidence that she’s not a prodigy?”
Watching the chaos, PD Kyeong had a fit and stood up.
His eyes seemed to see nothing but a prodigy or a genius, no matter how you looked at it.
Unlike the mentee of ‘Ma, Mentor’ who was slowly starting to doubt if he was a prodigy.
As the PD bit his nails, he hastily opened the community.
The ratings were still gradually increasing, so it was okay, but he didn’t know what would happen next week.
And finally, he found it.
The comparison article he had been worrying about.
[“Ma, Mentor” Dajeong vs. Wise Island Life Winter, who seems more like a genius?]
└ Shut up. He’ll only beat a ten-year-old composer’s sketchbook; he doesn’t have anything other than his rough notes.
└ 222
└ They’re both amazing, but they live in different places, so it’s a bit unfair to compare.
└ Why compare little kids who are ten years old?
Most of the criticism was about not comparing, but it didn’t register in PD’s eyes.
[I don’t really know who’s more of a prodigy in music, but if I could choose one teacher, it would be Dak… or not lol]
└ Ugh
└ What could be above the sun
└ I was being quiet, but you guys are really mean lol
– Don’t post on the Halo fan community. They go crazy if you compare anyone.
– But are Halo fans really that scary? I’m not sure.
– (Helicopter emoji. jpeg)
– They’re like a religion there. They even beat idol fandoms.
– “I feel sorry for Dajeongㅠ I could have met a better teacherㅠ”
– The reason why connections are important in society.
– Is Dajeong really pitiful? Even if it’s not Halo, can’t she just get one-on-one lessons from a good university professor?
– University professor vs. Halo, let’s go
PD Kyung’s fingers trembled.
Unable to bear it, he made a rebuttal.
– Still, wouldn’t it be better to have someone with actual teaching experience? Studying well and teaching well are different things.
– Seoncheol?
– I’m willing to pay 50,000 won for Kim Seoncheol’s lecture.
If it’s a Halo lecture, I have to break my savings (but can’t get in).
– Even lectures require ticketingHahahahahahahaha
– Honestly, if you’re going to lecture, it should be at the Olympic Park.
“These guys are something else.”
– That’s because you’re a Halo fan, but I think Kim Seoncheol is better, don’t you?
When PD Kyung left a comment, numerous replies poured in like coordinates being marked. Useless people who have nothing better to do. PD Kyung cursed and initiated an online battle.
└ ?
└ Even if it’s a live broadcast, Kim Sun-cheol is a bit…
└ People who think of Halo as a divine entity, but Sun-cheol is more like Halo than them.
└ Does Grammy seem feasible? A 13th album possible?
└ Oh, even if he got a Grammy, what difference does it make? When did Grammy become the standard for the best? It’s just one of many music awards.
└ So has that singer ever received a Grammy? Has he made it to the Billboard?
└ Tell us after releasing the 13th album, Sun-cheol.
“It’s like talking to a brick wall.”
After contemplating, PD Kyung opened up his SNS.
The ‘Me, Mentor’ page appeared.
He took a deep breath.
Normally, when posting something, it’s appropriate to discuss it with the promotion team, but this is a personal request to the viewers, and I’m trying to say something positive, so it should be fine.
With that in mind, he left a comment below the promotion post for the next episode of ‘Me, Mentor.’
Hello, this is Director Kyung Yoon-gi, the mentor. First of all, I sincerely thank all the fans who have shown a lot of interest and support for the mentor.
Lately, there has been an increasing number of cases where the cast members are being compared to those of other programs and criticized for their qualifications, both online and offline.
We believe that our cast members, who have accumulated a lot of experience as artists and instructors over the years, are more qualified for the mentor than anyone else.
Furthermore, calling a young cast member the “second OOO” could be an act of denying their personality.
Frequent comparisons and malicious criticisms like this hurt and discomfort the cast members.
So, we earnestly ask you to please stop.
We are always grateful for your interest and love.
We ask for your warm encouragement and support in the future as well.
Although the words seemed a bit harsh, Kim Sun-chul immediately clicked ‘like’, and I felt relieved.
I’m doing well.
Kyung PD turned off the SNS. After being pushed by the editing, he had not been able to sleep for a while, and now the fatigue was slowly coming over him.

After sleeping and waking up, the people in the online community would have reflected and automatically deleted the post.
Unaware of the repercussions his remarks would cause, PD Kyeong fell asleep with a smile.
