Chapter 361: Day 357 of Being a Boss (Illegitimate Life)
【2024|08|22 revised】
The person in the elevator was Blue Whale, who had just returned from an event today.
Because there are not many people in FYH, Blue Whale will occasionally give classes to the trainees, or it can be said that the artists and trainees of FYH are very familiar with each other. After all, there is a class every week where the artists share their experiences with the trainees.
Especially Jeon So-yeon, who is often taken by Heo Yi-sung to participate in various performances, they are so familiar with each other that they can’t be more familiar with each other.
Kang Sung-woo stood at the front, with one hand on his captain's shoulder and teasing the junior with a smile: "Wow, it turns out to be our little Soyeon. Did anything happy happen today?" He did not miss Jeon Soyeon's cheerful tune when the elevator door opened just now.
Although she anticipated that her humming might have been heard, Jeon Soyeon still felt embarrassed when she was asked about it in person.
His ears turned red for a moment, "Well... it's okay."
If it weren't for the seniors waiting for her at the elevator door, Jeon Soyeon would have wanted to turn around and walk up the stairs immediately.
Jin Shumin noticed Jeon Soyeon's predicament and quietly nudged Jiang Chengyou with his elbow, signaling him to shut up, but with a gentle smile on his face he said to Jeon Soyeon: "Soyeon, ignore him. Didn't you go to class today?"
Then he looked at the floor again and asked, "Which floor are you going to?"
Jeon So-yeon walked into the elevator, covered her face, stood in the corner and whispered, "The president just called me. I'm going to the sixth floor. Thank you, senior."
Park Sung-ho, who was standing on the other side, pressed the floor button after Jeon So-yeon spoke and said to Kang Sung-woo, "Can't you stop talking a little bit? Even an outgoing girl like So-yeon has been silenced by you."
Jeon So-yeon leaned against the corner of the elevator facing the wall: “…” She wasn’t very outgoing.
The two of them didn't notice Jeon So-yeon's embarrassment at all, and they started arguing with each other. Jeon So-yeon didn't know whether she should speak or not when she heard the topic involving her name.
Han Duyu was standing next to Jeon So-yeon. He saw that she was a little uncomfortable, so he lowered his head and comforted her: "Don't worry about them, just pretend they don't exist."
The two people even quarreled about which foot to use to exit the elevator.
After saying that, Han Duyu added in a low voice: "Congratulations on your debut."
Qi Su, who was hiding behind Han Duyu, also whispered, "Congratulations."
“?! Senior, what’s going on…” Jeon Soyeon looked up in surprise, and quickly covered her mouth halfway through her words. The formation of a new girl group has not been officially announced yet, so it is not suitable to publicize it.
When I looked up, I found that they seemed to know about it.
Although the company has not officially notified them yet, the launch of a new girl group has been discussed many times by the company. They are also aware of the matter and even knew that Jeon Soyeon was one of the candidates half a month ago.
Although she is a candidate, they are very clear that with Jeon Soyeon's ability and their president's preference for her, as long as Jeon Soyeon does not let down, her debut this time is basically secured.
"Thank you. I will try my best." Facing the blessings from her close seniors, Jeon Soyeon did not say any polite words and accepted the congratulations frankly.
The five members of Blue Whale not only congratulated her verbally, but also gave her a small gift. Although it was obviously prepared at the last minute, Jeon So Yeon was still very happy to accept it.
When receiving the gifts, Jeon So-yeon discovered that Qi Su's clothes, who was hiding in the innermost, had a big tear in them. "Qi Su's clothes..."
Everyone looked over when they heard this, their eyes revealing a bit of annoyance and coldness, but it was not easy to get angry in front of my sister, so I could only say in a relaxed tone: "It broke on the way back."
Although they said it lightly, Jeon So-yeon still noticed something strange.
The edge of the tear was very neat, it didn't look like it was cut by a sharp weapon, not hanging. And then she realized that not only Qi Su, but Jin Shumin's clothes seemed to be torn as well, but compared to Qi Su's, his clothes looked more like they were torn by someone.
The other people also had some traces of mess on their bodies.
A few people looked like they had just come back from a fight outside.
Jeon So-yeon looked at Kim Seo-min's cuffs which were half wet and wanted to say something concerning, but then the elevator stopped and she had arrived.
"Go to class quickly." Kim Seo Min smiled and waved to Jeon So Yeon.
Jeon So-yeon walked out of the elevator in a daze and didn't ask any questions until the elevator door closed.
However, when Jin Shumin and his friends participate in activities, they sometimes interact with each other through games. Maybe they broke the game while playing the game. Moreover, this kind of noisy situation is very common even in normal times.
After thinking it through, Jeon Soyeon put the matter behind her. After all, her mind was completely occupied by the matter of debut today.
Jeon So-yeon's initial judgment was correct. The cut on Qi Su's clothes that almost tore the clothes in half was indeed cut by a sharp weapon.
Such marks certainly could not have been caused by a simple game activity. The quality of their clothes was not that bad, not to mention that there were no intense games in today's activity.
This cut and the messy marks on other people's bodies were all because they encountered crazy private fans after the end of their activities.
Since their comeback in their first year and their huge success, their fan base has gradually increased and their private fans have also increased in number.
Before it was just ordinary filming, but recently the behavior of the illegitimate children has become more and more rampant, from stalking and harassing to following cars. Today, after the event ended, someone suddenly rushed out with a knife.
Because it was a girl and not very old, they thought she was a fan at first. But before they could react, the girl nimbly bypassed the security and rushed towards them.
This person was originally heading for Jiang Chengyou, but was noticed by Qi Su, who had the fastest reaction and pulled Jiang Chengyou away immediately, thus avoiding bloodshed.
Qi Su was unable to dodge and was hit. Fortunately, it was winter and he was wearing thick clothes, so in the end only a long cut was made on his clothes by the knife.
However, this is not the end yet, because the scene of the incident became extremely chaotic, and the group of illegitimate children immediately took advantage of the chaos and swarmed forward. If they had not brought enough security, things would have been even more embarrassing today, or even worse.
However, because of this incident they also managed to get two days off.
And these two days, several people plan to stay in the dormitory and not go anywhere.
In fact, it stands to reason that they now have enough money to buy a property outside and live out, but they are used to living together, and the dormitory arranged by the company for them is actually an apartment, and they have gotten used to it and have not moved out.
Coupled with the increasingly serious problem of illegitimate children, people are even more reluctant to move out.
To be honest, there is really no place safer than the company.
This is not a joke. Their company's security is really comparable to the security conditions in high-end residential areas, and is even much better than the security in some high-end residential areas.
FYH is a closed facility, with apartments and office buildings separated from the outside world by walls. Coupled with the previous incident involving illegitimate children that Xu Yisong and the trainees had encountered, FYH's security became even stricter.
Because of the system, it is even difficult for sasaengs to sneak into FYH, let alone get close to the artists' dormitories.
There have always been fans online hoping that FYH would open some areas of FYH for fans to check in like other companies, but for safety reasons Xu Yisong never agreed to this.
She would rather spend money to build a new place outside for fans to check in than open FYH.
The methods used by sasaengs are really terrifying. They can be said to be willing to do anything to achieve their goals. It is impossible for Xu Yisong to open FYH just to attract fans and bring danger to FYH artists.
Otherwise, it will be too late to regret if something goes wrong.
Although FYH's dormitory has not encountered the risk of private students sneaking into it, they have encountered private students following them and hiding in hotels when they go out to participate in activities.
Xu Yisong now feels his scalp tingling when he recalls the scene where he found a stranger hiding in the bathroom and taking pictures in the hotel.
The girl was not trying to pursue anyone. She simply wanted to take some private photos of some artists to sell for money, so she secretly hid in the bathroom of KARA's room.
Jiang Zhiyin, who was the first one to go in and take a shower, was almost scared to death. She didn't dare to sleep alone or even go to the toilet alone for the next few days.
This kind of thing would be fine if it happened outside, but Xu Yisong didn't want it to happen again in the company.
Then Xu Yisong will really go crazy.
It was precisely because of this that several people from Blue Whale breathed a sigh of relief the moment they stepped into the company’s door today, and their tense emotions finally relaxed.
It's just that they can't stay in the company forever unless they stop working.
Today's incident is not a small matter. After all, someone was injured with a knife, so it was bound to be on the hot news list of the day.
Although no one was injured in the end, agent Li Dongren still called the police immediately. However, they all knew that this method was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
Heo Yisong received the news only after meeting Wan Soyeon.
Ever since FYH became popular, the artists in their company have basically never gotten rid of the problem of sasaeng lives, even herself is the same, but this is the first time it has been so serious.
Xu Yisong looked at the information and on-site photos that Zhiyu sent her with eyes so cold that ice chips could fall off.
These people should be thankful that no one in their company was injured. If anyone from FYH, including staff members, was injured today, she would not let it go.
The problem of illegitimate children is indeed difficult to solve. It is not just a problem of irrational fans. More problems actually arise in the black industry chain that seeks to satisfy some perverted desires.
Private fans are not fans, and their actions are not motivated by so-called "love". To put it bluntly, this is just a business.
Filming an artist's privacy and then selling it privately on the dark web is no different from taking secret photos.
This is the root cause of why the problem has been difficult to solve.
A 15 percent profit is enough to make people take risks, and a 100 percent profit is enough to make people dare to trample on all laws.
The business run by illegitimate fans not only generates more than 100 percent profit, but the price they have to pay if they are caught is also much lower than other businesses with the same profit.
If you're lucky there won't even be any penalty.
Especially in Korea, where artists have to apologize to their fans when they encounter them, this lucrative business always attracts countless people who ignore the law and even go crazy for it.
With the excuse of "I'm your fan, I came to take a photo of you because I like you. If you're angry, you don't know what's good for you and you're shameless." Such words have led some artists to believe that less is worse than more, or they don't want to be labeled as being a big shot or having a bad attitude towards fans, so they always treat the fans with caution.
In the end, not only did it fail to solve the problem, but it made this group of people more and more arrogant.
But their theory doesn't work for Xu Yisong and FYH.
Xu Yisong will not indulge them. She never thinks that private fans are fans. Even if real fans do something excessive, Xu Yisong will not compromise, let alone a group of criminals disguised as fans.
She would not let go of what happened to Blue Whale today.
It was not difficult to find the illegitimate fans at the event as there were many cameras at the site, and they called the police immediately.
Although the efficiency of the Korean police is average, because the one in trouble is an artist from FYH and Heo Yisong is more difficult to deal with in comparison, their efficiency is managed to be improved.
In less than a day, all the troublemakers were caught.
When Xu Yisong saw this group of people, he really didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at the moment. But if he really had to say it, it would definitely be mostly anger.
There were about ten people, and except for a few people who organized the event, the others were minors in their teens.
At this time, these underage children should be in school instead of appearing in such a place to do such illegal and criminal things in an irrational and mindless manner.
Xu Yisong recalled that the last time the trainees in their company encountered someone who bullied reporter Park, most of them were students in their teens. He felt that this world was simply crazy.
The police are accustomed to this.
This is not the first time they have caught illegitimate children. This happens every year, or even every once in a while. Most of these illegitimate children are young, especially those in their teens and twenties.
If it is an adult, it is actually easy to resolve. If the harassed artist is not understanding, then just follow the rules.
But minors are different.
The behavior of stalkers is difficult to define, and if the child is a minor, most artists who have encountered such things before will choose to forgive in the end no matter what they think in their hearts.
Xu Yisong frowned as he looked through the glass at the students inside who showed no remorse at all at this moment.
Is such a person worthy of forgiveness?
Or what role does forgiveness play?
I'm afraid it will only boost their arrogance and make them even more fearless.
It looked like this wasn't the first time they had done something like this, and it might not be the first time they had been to the police station.
Xu Yisong does not intend to let it go easily like other artists and just apologize. They dared to use a knife on others this time, so what about next time?
If she hadn't been lucky this time, she might not be here now, but would be seeing her children in the hospital.
Artists are also human beings, not punching bags. There is no reason that they should be inferior to others and tolerate everything just because they are in the service industry.
So this time they didn't even ask for an apology, which was an unrealistic demand. They just refused to meet with her and directly demanded that the case be handled according to the law. She also emphasized to the company's lawyers that they should file the most serious charges when defending them.
Since they have the courage to do it, they must have thought about the consequences. They had better not be surprised by the current result.
As for the future, they themselves don’t care. Why should Xu Yisong, an outsider, care about it for them?
However, the suspects who were still being interrogated at this time did not know what they would face next, and were still arguing with the police with an arrogant and domineering attitude.
"Wounding people with a knife and gathering to cause trouble. These are not trivial matters. If you are not careful, big problems will arise." Xu Yisong glanced coldly at several people through the glass, but spoke to the police officer beside him with a regretful tone.
The police officer in charge of this case looked at Xu Yisong and then at the people in the interrogation room, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Why do you bother her for no reason?
