Chapter 846: Be Nice
[Everyday V13]
[Date: April 5, 2021]
-10:00 p.m. [NEW. Choi Deok-Bae]
[Baro Star] The role of Baek Ill-Seung in She Was Beautiful wasn't originally given to Choi Deok-Bae but to actor B. The reason for B's rejection wasn't a lack of talent but supposedly Casting Director J? (Reporter Lee Gyu-Hee)
[Starpatch] Rising star B recently expressed frustration, saying he unfairly lost a role he auditioned for to a hoobae actor, C. (Reporter Ahn Jung-Eun)
'Bong Tae-Sik, that bastard. So now he's blaming his failed audition not on his own skill, but on me—the casting director?'
He was pulling a cowardly move, leaking it through female entertainment reporters he knew personally.
The problem was, when gossip articles like this came out in initials, production companies couldn't really act on it. If Bong Tae-Sik kept denying he ever gave that interview, it would just look like those entertainment reporters went rogue. That was why I had to secure proof that they had taken money or favors in exchange for publishing it.
Luckily, Everyday let me know which reporters would be posting the story tomorrow at 10 p.m.
I immediately messaged Chief Choi Go-Yoon, whom I had already contacted earlier.
[Chief Jung Yoon-Ho: Reporter Lee Gyu-Hee from Baro Star and Reporter Ahn Jung-Eun from Starpatch. Please have someone follow both of them right away. Bong Tae-Sik will be meeting with them soon.]
Whenever Bong Tae-Sik spread this kind of gossip, he always did it face-to-face, never over the phone. He knew that if the other party recorded the call, he wouldn't be able to deny it later.
