Advertising is love.
“The fax machine keeps ringing.”
Park Joo-min, who had been promoted after bringing Ian to the company, was annoyed by the constant fax sound in the morning.
He unplugged all the power cords and sat down with a satisfied expression.
“What is this?”
Director Seo Su-ryeon, who had just entered the office, picked up a paper that had been faxed.
We demand feedback from BHL Entertainment on Black Rush’s activities.
The fandom statement, written in white letters on a black background, showed a firm will to make the company run out of toner if they did not comply.
It was not just one sheet that Director Seo picked up.
There was already a pile of black papers, which were the result of the fans’ fax attack.
“It started yesterday.”
He had been preparing for Black Rush’s mini album in May, after releasing Awi’s digital single in June.
It was a schedule he had prepared after Awi achieved better results than expected.
“Ugh… This is a headache.”
The problem was that.
If he released the album according to the schedule,
The fans would think, ‘Oh, they listened to us? They are good at pandering. If we have any complaints in the future, we will do it again.’ That was what he feared.
“The fax is bad enough, but what about the phone?”
“I’ve been working on my cell phone.”
He had already unplugged all the office phones.
“What if an important call comes in…”
At that moment, Director Seo’s cell phone rang.
“Yes, this is Seo Su-ryeon.”

“Ian, you got an ad offer.”
“Me?”
Ian, who was practicing his dance in the company’s practice room, saw Manager Park Dong-soo open the door.
“Just me? Not as a group?”
“Your personal ad.”
“Really?”
He wished his first ad was a group one…
Ian wiped his sweat with a towel and pushed back his disappointment.
“What kind of ad is it?”
“Well…”
***
“A hearing aid ad?”
“Yeah.”
“Is it because of the drama?”
They had received vodka from the company to celebrate the end of their activities.
They stopped by a pork belly restaurant and had dinner together. Ian drank soda and sighed.
‘I want some soju.’
Kim Joo-young, who was good at grilling meat as well as collecting group restaurants, grumbled.
“Hey, you only grill and then disappear.”
“I left some for you.”
Lee Joo-hyuk put a bunch of meat on Kim Joo-young’s bowl.
Kim Hyun put some meat on the grill and said to Ian.
“But if it’s a hearing aid ad, you won’t be doing it alone, right?”
“Yeah, they said I’ll be doing it with Teacher Lee Young-gil.”
“Isn’t Teacher Lee Young-gil the one who did a work with Tae-woong?”
Jo Tae-woong, who had stuffed his mouth with a lettuce wrap, mumbled.
He barely swallowed it and said.
“Yeah, once in a weekend drama. It was a long time ago, I don’t remember well.”
“Really?”
“But he was just like a grandfather.”
Lee Young-gil was a veteran actor with over 50 years of acting experience.
Jo Tae-woong had played his grandson role in a weekend family drama when he was a child actor.
“So he wasn’t like an old fart?”
“Well, maybe I was too young then? But he got along well with other actors too. He’s similar to Teacher Kim Hee-sang, I guess?”
“Oh yeah, speaking of him, when are we going to see him? Doesn’t he forget our faces?”
Lee Joo-hyuk changed the topic. Their popularity had increased since ‘Along with Legends’.
People recognized them more often.
If Kim Hee-sang hadn’t suggested them to join ‘Along with Legends’, they wouldn’t have achieved this level of public recognition.
“We’re free when we’re resting, right? Should we contact him through Dong-soo hyung?”
“Yeah, I want to see that palace-like studio again.”
“Boss! Three more servings of pork belly here!”
They had already eaten more than two servings per person, but the meat disappeared as soon as it was grilled.
“…Crazy!”
“Who is that? Wow…!”
Some women who entered the pork belly restaurant hesitated and then sat at the table next to them.
They peeked at them from time to time.
The members shrugged their shoulders.
They seemed to like being recognized by others.
[Why do you like it when people will notice you everywhere and you won’t be able to go anywhere and get tired later?]
‘Didn’t I tell you to shut up unless I ask for information?’
[But I’m bored!]
‘Well, you listened to me obediently, so I’ll let it go. But if you do that again, you’re out.’
[Che…]
Jin sounded angry and kept clicking the shutter.
What are you going to do if you get angry, you can’t even physically hurt me, and you can’t refuse what I say, so there must be some restriction on you.
Ian smiled as if he found it amusing and flipped the meat.
“But it’s funny that your first ad is a hearing aid ad.”
“Hey, it’s still an ad. Don’t insult the ‘god of ads’. Whether it’s a hearing aid or whatever.”
“But we’re idols, I thought we’d get something cooler than a hearing aid…”
“Well, yeah…”
Jo Tae-woong and Kim Joo-young teased Ian. Ian also thought ‘My first ad is a hearing aid?’ and chuckled when he first heard it.
He silently put some kimchi on the grill.
“I wish we could do our first ad together.”
He whispered softly, afraid that others would hear him.
The members seemed to hear him and chuckled.
“You have such a cute thought.”
“Hey, stop touching my hair. Am I your little brother?”
Jo Tae-woong messed up Ian’s hair.
“To be honest, we’re a bit sad too.”
“We’ll get more offers when we get more famous, right?”
“What kind of ad do you want? Let’s just make a wish while we’re at it.”
The members said they were sad, but they didn’t look sad at all.
They seemed more interested in the cooked meat and clashed their chopsticks to fight for it.
Were they not sad, but just distracted by the meat in front of them?
Anyway, that was why Jin said ‘They’re not bad.’ from his mouth that liked to mock others.
“I want a chicken ad.”
“Wow, then we must be really popular?”
“Isn’t a school uniform ad possible?”
“I want a shoe ad.”
The wish time was gradually turning into a happy circuit time.
Lee Joo-hyuk joked.
“What if Ian does a pine needle tea ad? Will the fans buy that too?”
[Are they not usually devils?]
“Hey, that’s a bit…”
“Isn’t that torture for our fans?”
“They might buy it, but they won’t drink it. They’ll just keep it as a souvenir, right?”
What! What’s wrong with pine needle tea! It’s delicious!
Jin joined in and treated him strangely. Ian gulped down his soda and said.
“Wouldn’t our fans drink it?”
[You are really…]
“Ian, you shouldn’t do that to the fans.”
“Right. You know you have the ‘weird eater’ modifier among the fans, right?”
“Let’s avoid those kinds of ads for our fans.”
He was drinking the soup before he got the rice cake, but Ian chuckled at the scene.
“You’re funny, you said you’d do anything for money.”
“That’s true.”
“Advertising is love.”
Awi was talking with the flow of his consciousness when he heard a click from the next seat.
The members stopped at the sound.
The woman who took the picture covered her mouth with her hand.
“Oh no… I shouldn’t have taken it.”
Jo Tae-woong silently took off his cap and brushed his hair. He asked Park Jin-hyuk.
“Is my hair okay?” free(w)ebnov(e)l
“It’s fine. How about mine?”
“You always look handsome, hyung.”
“Ha, you have good eyes.”
Kim Joo-young put down the meat he was about to grill and dropped the tongs.
Lee Joo-hyuk moved the tray to his side and said.
“Joo-young, stop grilling. I’ll do it after this is over.”
[After this is over? What? What are you talking about?]
[What do you mean? It’s fan service time.]
Ian ignored Jin’s question and turned his gaze with the members.
When the seven of them turned their upper bodies to the next table at the same time, the women there gasped.
“We might get scolded by our manager, but we’ll do this only for you.”
“Please take a nice picture.”
The women shook their phones and pressed the shutter without stopping.
“They’re really handsome…”
“Thank you.”
“Can we take a selfie with you too?”
“Oh, we might really get in trouble with our manager if we do that… Sorry.”
“No, it’s okay! We’re sorry for bothering you while you’re eating…”
But they didn’t stop taking pictures. Others from different tables also came to take pictures.
“Were you celebrities? I thought you were handsome young men…”
“Can I get your autograph here?”
The restaurant turned into a small fan meeting in an instant.
The owner also came out and got an autograph.
They even got free meat later.
Ian and the members enjoyed their attention and had a pleasant meal.

***
At Star Hearing, a hearing aid company, there was a meeting going on.
“Let’s make photo cards for Choi Ian?”
Star Hearing team leader Jeon Eun-ji insisted strongly.
The other employees looked puzzled.
“I don’t know… I don’t think people who buy our products would want idol photo cards…”
Usually, choosing an idol as an ad model means targeting the fans.
So they would give away photo cards of the idol who did the ad when they buy the product, or draw a lottery for a fan sign event.
In Ian’s case, it was because the drama was unexpectedly popular that he got an ad offer that suited him, not a fandom type but a public type ad.
The fans’ age range was not that high either, so it didn’t match with the age group who would buy hearing aids.
“Let’s print some anyway, even if it’s a small amount. The fans might give it to their parents or grandparents, right?”
“That’s true…”
“Why don’t we tie it up with our new product and do it properly?”
Actually, Jeon Eun-ji was a fan of Awi.
And Choi Ian’s fan at that.
She had casually thrown out the idea, hoping to get a photo card for herself.
And she didn’t anticipate the aftermath.
-Crazy photo card giveaway???????
-There’s an idol who does a hearing aid ad for his first ad? Pusung-pasung
-I’m going to give my grandmother a hearing aid??? My mom doesn’t even believe me when I say an idol did a hearing aid ad. It’s awesome???
-Crazy I agree with the above comment. He’s a filial son??
-Filial son edition???????
-Our idol is also filial to you?????
