Chapter 197: I took the door handle off for a variety show
The high-intensity promotions in September made Kang Do-hwan realize how difficult it is to be an idol.

But I don’t know if it’s because he’s been running around on music shows more frequently.

There are more opportunities to receive contact information.

Kang Do-hwan sat in the nanny car and looked at the friend requests that popped up on KakaoTalk.

[Oppa, I'm Cha Runmei from Mixx7, can I get to know you? ]

If I remember correctly, this group debuted at the same time as me.

What does this mean?
It’s not even been a month since the representative debuted and he’s already thinking about love.

This can no longer be described as "unprofessional".

It's more like a debut to gild oneself and fish in the big fish pond of the entertainment industry.

Jiang Zhaohuan pressed the reject button expressionlessly, put the phone in his pocket and closed his eyes.

I'm about to go to JTBC TV station to record the popular program "Knowing Brothers".

There is no script for this show, it's purely based on one's own performance.

That's why he felt nervous.

When Kang Do Hwan arrived at the TV station, he went straight to the waiting room to greet several MCs.

Then after the staff handed over the uniform, he quickly changed into the clothes.

It's been a long time since I've seen this style of high school uniform.

The last time I wore it was when I was endorsing a school uniform brand with Twice.

dong dong dong.

I had just changed my clothes when there was a knock on the waiting room door.

Kang Do Hwan said "Come in", and the person who pushed the door open was his guest who was recording with him, and his old partner Kim Seol Hyun.

The two did not become too unfamiliar because of the confession.

After all, we are all in the same circle, and if we don’t want to be noticed by outsiders, we must cover it up.

"Nuna, long time no see."

Jin Xuexuan smiled and nodded, and said naturally:
"Yeah, you've been a hot topic lately. It's really stressful to be on the show with you."

"Kim Seol Hyun, who has filmed four commercials this year, are you sure you feel any pressure?"

"But your ad is nearly three times as big as mine."

Kim Seol Hyun thought of her group and couldn't help but sigh.

"Besides, it's useless if I'm popular myself. AOA is not popular."

Every time AOA releases a comeback album, it fails to make any money for the company.

This time I went to Neon to release the album just to make money.

As a result, the quality of the songs is just average, and there is no sign of increasing popularity.

Many people outside are saying that AOA is the next miss A.

This is not the first time that Kim Seolhyun has been seen calling AOA her dance group.

There are even conspiracy theorists who say that she has always been secretly happy and has all the popularity.

She feels sad every time she sees such comments.

Kim Seolhyun is more anxious than her fans and hopes that AOA can become popular and last long.

But now conflicts among members have accumulated, and the company only cares about profits and nothing else.

I am afraid that the AOA that I love will soon disappear from the public eye.

Competition among idol groups is inherently cruel.

Jiang Zhaohuan didn't know much about idols, so he could only comfort them:

"If you work hard, you will definitely be noticed. Come on."

The two didn't chat for long before the staff came in to remind them that recording was about to begin.

Jiang Zhaohuan watched the program schedule while in the car.

Of course, I also took the lead in filling out some of the things required in the process.

He and Kim Seolhyun walked towards the real-life classroom one after the other.

After seeing the staff squatting in the corner holding up the sign.

Jiang Zhaohuan, who was walking in front, opened the door of the classroom forcefully, looking like a school bully.

But what he didn't expect was that the door was as if made of paper and the door handle was pulled out by the roots.

The loud noise startled the MCs in the classroom. Not only that, but the entire production crew was stunned.

The props team was even more desperate. They thought they should make it stronger next time.

Kim Seolhyun, who was standing at the back, was still trying to gather her emotions, but when she saw this scene, she lowered her head and laughed secretly.

As for the culprit Jiang Zhaohuan, he was completely dumbfounded.

Kim Heechul, who was sitting in the front row, reacted quickly. He raised his hand and pretended to complain:

"I'm reporting someone for vandalizing public property, but this transfer student can't do that!"

"Hahaha, this is the first time I've encountered someone pulling out a door handle during this entire recording process."

Lee Soo Geun, who was even more interesting, walked directly in front of Kang Do Hwan.

He stood on tiptoe to try to close the cutest height difference between the two of them, shook his head and said earnestly:

"Hey, classmate, no matter how poor you are, you can't steal the classroom door handle and sell it."

Jiang Zhaohuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Would someone really steal a door handle?
But as an actor, he must continue acting, this is a sense of belief!

Even though his ears were red, Jiang Zhaohuan threw the door handle aside, put his hands in his pockets, looked down at Li Xiugen, and said coldly:
"What does my condition have to do with you? Hey, are you the boss here?"

The oppressive feeling from the high altitude made Lee Soo Geun lose all his aura.

He also trotted over to Jiang Hudong's side and said:

"Boss, this new guy doesn't seem to be easy to deal with. Should we give him the door handle?"

"Then give it to him. It's just a door handle."

"Okay, boss."

Li Xiugen ran to the door and picked up the door handle, stuffed it directly back into Jiang Zhaohuan's hand, and raised his chin and said arrogantly:

"Hey, new guy, this is a welcome gift from our boss, please accept it!"

"…Nei, Kang San Mida."

Jiang Zhaohuan finally couldn't hold it anymore. He was worried that the door handle would become a permanent meme.

Will it be the case that every guest who opens the door will be whipped once in the future?

After this little episode, we finally arrived at the formal self-introduction session.

After Seo Jang-hoon finished introducing the two, he looked at Kim Seol-hyun and asked:
"Seolhyun, what's your motivation for transferring here?"

Kim Seol Hyun smiled and lifted her hair, and replied:

"To make the oppa and friends feel excited."

It's rare for Kang Ho Dong to speak according to the arranged script. After all, as one of Peninsula's variety show ace, he doesn't have the time to get to know female idol groups.

He tilted his head, crossed his arms over his chest and asked:
"Hmm? The song 'Heartbeat' should have been released for a while, right?"

"I can't help it. This song is the most popular one in our group."

"Okay, go for it then."

Lee Soo Geun took out a dark green folder from his desk.

He stared at the content above and couldn't help but say:
"Dream, Seolhyun's dream is to become a happy person? When is the happiest time now?"

The death journey during this period made Kim Seolhyun's face look a little tired.

But she still tried to show her signature smile and said seriously:

“I am happiest when I work with the members.”

Lee Soo Geun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Kang Do Hwan as he spoke:
"Yes, I see. That's why I'm not happy now."

Jiang Zhaohuan reacted quickly after receiving the signal. He moved two steps to the side to create some distance, and covered his face with one hand and sighed.

Jin Xuexuan was a little confused. She asked doubtfully:
"What's wrong?"

"Don't you think it's happiest to work with members? Now you are alone."

Jiang Zhaohuan couldn't help but nod in agreement, looking a little lonely:

"Yes, I understand. Seolhyun doesn't want to be on the show with me."

Kim Seol Hyun didn't expect Kang Cho Hwan to think this way, and said in panic with eyes wide open:
"Ani~ That's not what I meant!"

Jiang Zhaohuan, who had his head lowered, raised his head instantly.

There was a cunning look in his eyes, and he smiled lightly:
“I’m just acting sad.”

Kim Seolhyun pouted when she heard that, and she even forgot the fact that someone was a good actor.

Alas, she is still a little young for variety shows.
