Chapter 125

[Pinocchio ‘Lee Ha-eun’ forms a team once again with the winner of “Sit On The Money,” Hwang Ji-hyuk]

[As a singer, ‘Lee Ha-eun’ appears on the Infinite Challenge]

[All members of Infinite Challenge call for ‘Han Yu-hwa’s song, “My Destiny,” sung by Han Yu-hwa]

[‘A stage that will be long remembered,’ Lee Ha-eun’s aspirations revealed in front of star singers]

Articles covering Ha Eun’s appearance on the [Infinite Challenge Music Show] primarily focused on her first broadcast activity as a singer rather than an actress.

There were certainly some skeptical views regarding Ha Eun’s appearance as a singer since her image as an actress was still strong.

Regardless, the other guests, who were quite famous as ‘singers,’ overshadowed this.

However, the fact that Ha Eun featured in three tracks, including the title song “Tunnel,” from Daulby’s 10th album, which dominated music charts a few months ago, was revisited.

Above all, she was the one who played the young Han Yu-hwa in [My Love from the Star].

“Gradually forgotten memories─♪ I shout your name─♪♪”

Now she had become a proper singer, singing the OST of [My Love from the Star], which had become a hot topic.

– How could I forget you, Yu-hwa? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Am I the only one who thinks this version sounds better?

ㄴ 222

ㄴ 3333 There’s something about the emotional line? It feels more alive ㅠㅠㅠ

ㄴ It’s definitely more heartbreaking than the original.

– Can’t you post “My Destiny” recorded fully on YouTube or something?

– She really sings well…

In conclusion, instead of controversy, not even a hint of controversy arose.

The label of Lee Jun’s connections casting as a fixed member of [Infinite Challenge] wasn’t imposed either.

In a situation where everything was proven by genuine talent, it was acknowledged that she was more than qualified to take on the role of the only leading lady in this [Infinite Challenge Music Show].

However, it wasn’t only her aspect as a singer, Pinocchio, that was brought back into the light.

“Now my sins are also yours, Kyle. Regret it deeply until the day you die…”

A video material to introduce ‘Lee Ha-eun’ to the viewers of [Infinite Challenge].

Originally, it should have been a video capturing Ha Eun’s performance with reactions from Lee Jun and Lee Geon-yeol. However, due to unavoidable reasons, it was replaced with an official YouTube channel video from Narae Preview, which had an unexpected impact.

– How’s the festival for high school students these days? MP4

– Is that how musicals are? It’s incredible.

ㄴ You have to see it in person to get it.

ㄴ It’s already over, how can I see it?

– Wow, what’s with that outfit?

– The Empress moment is insane ㅠㅠㅠ

– I was watching “Falling Together,” and it felt exactly like that.

– Are they going to re-perform it later?

ㄴ Since it’s a high school festival performance, I don’t think there will be a re-run?

To be precise, Ha Eun’s video of [Falling Together] aired for less than a minute.

Still, the emotive connection conveyed in that brief moment drastically increased views on Narae Preview’s official YouTube channel.

In particular, a video edited to highlight Ha Eun’s moments ranked among the popular videos for a time.

While everything previously revealed was actively revisited,

– Step.

A new advertisement, long finished filming, quietly revealed itself with faint footsteps.

The first scene to attract people’s attention was Ha Eun walking out from what looked like a study.

With a pace neither too fast nor too slow, she headed toward a broad bedroom.

Her casual look subtly exuded a neat and relaxed vibe.

Just a moment later, Ha Eun sat on the edge of a new Sears bed and blinked once.

Tilting her head slightly, her hands gently settled on the bed, revealing a glimpse of her delicate shoulder between her oversized white sweater.

Her captivating gaze, languidly staring at the camera, softened into a gentle expression.

Then, the scene gradually transitioned to her slowly sinking into the cozy blanket.

– Snuggle.

She lay down completely, half covered with a pure white blanket. A leisurely smile blossomed on her beautiful face.

Once again, Ha Eun’s eyelids slowly began to close.

Inevitably turning comfortably to her side, Ha Eun’s unique calm voice began to play.

“Live comfortably. Sears Bed.”

The phrase “Sears Bed” imprinted itself vividly into people’s minds.

The noble aura permeating the advertisement lingered for quite a while.

Perhaps that was why.

– The CF quality is really well made.

– A true actor is an actor bb.

– Is that the Yeom Wol from back then?

ㄴ People are completely different, she’s really pretty, for real.

ㄴ What’s different? Haven’t you guys watched the last episode of “Gugadahl”?

– But seriously, was it well filmed?

– It’s the first advertisement I want to check every day.

Interest flowed in not only for Ha Eun’s Sears Bed advertisement itself, but also for the bed she advertised.

Additionally,

“Isn’t it tiring to wake up early for school? Back in my day, waking up in the morning was the hardest part.”

“Honestly, I was a bit tired before changing my bed, but it’s definitely better since I switched.”

Since the day Ha Eun herself mentioned Sears Bed, more pronounced changes began to appear.

Perhaps due to her image as a ‘model student,’ inquiries from families with exam-taking children flooded in.

As a result, the final branding of ‘Lee Ha-eun’ was perfectly completed.

Her image as a ‘young lady,’ which began in [2 Nights and 3 Days] and was solidified through the Sears Bed advertisement, was now.

“I think I need to relay additional schedules to the factory side. Just for the orders that have come in right now…”

Surpassed Sears’ expected sales increase by a wide margin.

It was because there were many who were willing to buy just because it was a bed used by ‘Lee Ha-eun.’

[The ruler of this fall is Sears, ‘Lee Ha-eun’s incredible branding impact.]

[‘Lee Ha-eun’s advertised bed model sold out. Delivery takes over a month.]

[With Chuseok approaching, ‘Sears’ stores bustling, firmly securing its place as the number one furniture company of this fall.]

‘…I hope this works out?’

Ha Eun’s reaction to the articles discussing Sears’ rapid rise was one of relief or reassurance.

She was still unaware of how significant this sales increase truly was.

‘Well, her voice did sound excited.’

The only clue she could gather about the impact of Ha Eun’s advertisement came from the voice of Park Hwan-soo, which she had heard over the phone that morning.

His words, stating that Ha Eun’s Sears Bed advertisement had achieved more than just a simple success, ended with a request for future cooperation.

Well, anyway.

Since Ha Eun’s advertisement didn’t bring any negative influences, she didn’t feel the need to burden herself with worries.

The pressure to stabilize Ha Eun’s current situation was also a bit overwhelming.

Time flew by to the day of the [Infinite Challenge Music Show] performance at Gocheok Sky Dome.

The setting was the waiting room inside Gocheok Sky Dome.

And the situation at hand was.

“Do you know how long Ha Eun and I have been friends?”

“I actually got married with her. Where is the Queen?”

The morning drama itself.

‘…How did it come to this?’

To be precise, they hadn’t even finished their makeup and costume changes for the performance, let alone rehearsals.

Currently, the unexpected confrontational scenario formed by Yu Sung-jae and Da-yeon in front of Ha Eun didn’t start with much discord.

Both Yu Sung-jae and Da-yeon came to celebrate Ha Eun’s performance at Gocheok Sky Dome.

That much was clear in theory.

However, from the moment Yu Sung-jae handed Da-yeon a bouquet that she did not prepare, saying, “Congratulations on the dome performance,” the mood began to shift.

More specifically.

“Can we take a picture before rehearsal?”

“Oh, sure.”

When they began to frame their picture for upload to Ha Eun and Yu Sung-jae’s Instagram accounts.

-Swish.

-Snap!

“…? Da-yeon?”

For some reason, Da-yeon, whose gaze had been elongated, suddenly burst in right next to Ha Eun.

Flustered, Yu Sung-jae initially took a photo with all three of them, but then Da-yeon for some reason did not move away.

‘…Are they going to ask each other who is better like this?’

“You’re not going to abandon me for the Queen, are you, my lady!”

“My lady? My lady?? Who are you calling my lady!”

As a result, a sudden love triangle centered around Ha Eun emerged.

Of course, Yu Sung-jae’s face, which had been half-joking, was filled with playful spirit.

The issue was that Da-yeon’s frowning expression bore the weight of 100% sincerity.

Eventually, after taking over ten pictures just with Da-yeon to calm her down,

While she had met Yu Sung-jae only once, she had met Da-yeon several times, yet it was as if Da-yeon held onto her grudge against Yu Sung-jae.

Of course, the unexpected morning drama among the three was fully captured by the cameras shooting [Infinite Challenge Music Show].

It was set to be revealed to the world later as “The Yeom Wol Battle between Prince Lee Hyun and Queen Yoon.”

Anyway, as it was time to head for the first rehearsal,

“I’ll see both of you later!”

Ha Eun left the waiting room almost as if she were running away.

She felt a bit concerned since Da-yeon and Yu Sung-jae were seated next to each other in the audience section for the event.

But as it was, there wasn’t really much she could do except tell them not to fight.
