Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 574

The already released teaser for “Credits Season 2” is said to be unveiled early next year.

Since “Credits Season 1” achieved really monumental success, there has been enormous interest in the follow-up as well.

As a result, more people have been asking me about “Credits” lately.

“What do you think about “Credits Season 2”?”

Just like writer Ahn Ji-young is asking right now.

Although preparations for the end-of-year award ceremony stage are in full swing, filming still had to proceed.

While I was at the set checking the script, Ahn Ji-young, who came to visit today, asked me.

“Is there a confidentiality agreement?”

“Hey, I’m just asking for an overall idea, not specifics.”

“It will probably do extremely well.”

In fact, such questions are a bit tricky.

Since it’s a drama I’m in, and there are high expectations around it.

I can’t just say I think it will do badly, right?

“…Like last time?”

“Well, since the impact was so huge during Season 1, I can’t promise the same… But still, the results are worth looking forward to.”

Isn’t it usually the case that the second season of popular series movies or dramas performs well?

When looking at beloved popular series, it’s common for Season 2 to perform better than Season 1.

“Looks like next year’s drama is out of the running for first place….”

Writer Ahn Ji-young responded with disappointment to my typical answer.

Oh, come to think of it, the drama I’m currently filming coincides with the year of release.

“Well, there’s still a significant difference in airing time for us.”

“That is a bit of consolation.”

Still, well.

While I can’t help that “Credits” is a natural disaster.

I also believe that this drama itself will do well.

After all, writer Ahn Ji-young and the protagonist, Lee Seok-hyun, are involved.

No matter what, a hit is guaranteed.

“By the way, are you participating in the end-of-year award ceremony this time?”

“Oh, me? Yes, I’m preparing for the award ceremony stage.”

“You recorded the stage last time but didn’t attend.”

“Hmm, that was… due to a scheduling conflict.”

Speaking of which, the ceremony I missed back then was writer Ahn Ji-young’s drama, wasn’t it?

I feel a bit sorry since I was a lead actor.

However, this time I decided exactly where I would participate.

“Of course, in the music section?”

“Yes, that’s right, since we reached number one on the charts.”

Since I didn’t film in the lead role for the drama.

I’m planning to participate in “Toy Lover,” where I hold 25% of the membership.

“What outfit are you wearing? Matching, of course?”

“Oh, I already have that.”

I confidently answered Ahn Ji-young’s question.

Last year, claiming I would participate in the award ceremony, I bought a luxury dress at the department store.

It’s a dress I wore only once on air.

Finally, it’s time to take that dress out of the closet.

“A dress? Oh… I’m looking forward to it.”

“You’ve seen it a lot, right? When I played Sera.”

“Well, buying it yourself is different.”

“Haha… It’s modest.”

Thinking back, I should have bought a more glamorous dress.

I won’t have a chance to wear it often aside from the award ceremony, so why did I choose such a plain one?

But isn’t the completion of fashion a good face?

If the dress is modest, people’s attention will be drawn to the face, so it’s not bad either.

“Still, I’m looking forward to the award ceremony dress.”

“You probably won’t see it since we’re going to a different award ceremony.”

“Oh, that’s a shame….”

Well, anyway.

After chatting with writer Ahn Ji-young at the filming location, I continued with the remaining filming.

“Cut! You’ve worked hard!”

Today was a day when filming ended early in the afternoon.

“I’m going right away!”

“Yes, I’ll take care of you.”

I wanted to go straight home, but I hurried to the next location in Park Kang-seok’s car.

“We’ve arrived.”

Right at the broadcasting station.

Specifically, I came to do the rehearsal for the end-of-year award ceremony stage.

“Come quickly, sis!”

“Is filming all done?”

“Yeah, we finished early.”

Last year we did it as a recording.

But this year’s end-of-year stage is going live, so we need to focus on the rehearsal.

“Come on, get ready!”

The live performance was strongly advocated by Seol Woo-yeon.

She wants to show off our skills.

Well, I’m not one to shy away from live performances, so I accepted.

After all, the hardest part of a live performance is for Seol Woo-yeon, and since she wants to do it, I should support her.

As it is a relatively easy part, I’ll cheer her on.

“But are you really okay? It would be tiring to do it twice.”

But is she really okay with that?

All of the members except for me will also participate in their own groups at the award ceremony.

So, they will have to perform twice, and doing it live will be tough.

“Thinking about the concert, it’ll be a breeze!”

“That’s true.”

However, in response to my concerns, Seol Woo-yeon cheerfully replied.

Well, in a concert, you’re almost performing live for an hour or two.

In that sense, performing on the award ceremony stage should be manageable.

“We’ll be going on stage now!”

Well, the professional members will manage it well on their own.

So I stepped onto the stage for the rehearsal without much worry.

“Wow, everyone is doing great.”

“Su-hyun did well too!”

What I felt after rehearsing like this.

Everyone did so well that I only needed to not make a mistake.

“Now, let’s do some monitoring.”

The members executed the choreography flawlessly.

But still, for a better performance, we monitored and added formations and details afterward.

“Is this enough?”

“Yes, I think it’s sufficient.”

Soon, that day’s rehearsal concluded with everyone wearing satisfied expressions.

**

And then, a few days later, it was the day of the award ceremony.

“How is it?”

Before heading to the broadcasting station.

I finally took out the dress I had kept in good condition at home, and went to the usual shop for my makeup.

“Oh my, it suits you so well.”

The shop owner, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, admired my look.

Even I couldn’t help but admire myself in the mirror.

This is only the second time I’m wearing the dress.

I wonder if it’s because I got my makeup done beforehand?

Somehow, I feel like I look prettier than when I wore it on air last time.

“Well then, let’s get going.”

“Yes, let’s.”

Afterward, I got into the car along with Park Kang-seok, who I convinced to get makeup done as well.

“Your makeup suits you well.”

“…No, it doesn’t.”

Surprisingly, Park Kang-seok looked good in makeup.

He really transformed completely.

Doesn’t this make Han Se-ryeong’s eyes go wide?

There are so many eyes on the award ceremony that one can’t show what they feel, but thinking about how restless he might be is a bit amusing.

Anyway, after that, we arrived in front of the broadcasting station where the award ceremony was to take place.

“Wow—!!”

Even before we got out of the car, I could see people gathered at the entrance cheering for the van.

Since most of them were holding cameras, they must be journalists.

“I’m losing energy already….”

“It should be fine inside.”

Tomorrow, articles like “Actor Kim Soo-hyun finally participates in the award ceremony!” will probably come out, right?

There will be some praise for the dress too.

Well, I don’t actually dislike getting attention like this.

Though I’m getting a bit anxious, it really means I’m the center of attention.

“Please get out and smile.”

“Got it.”

So, with a smile as requested by Park Kang-seok, I got out of the car.

“Look over here!”

“Actor! Here!”

With the journalists shouting, I smiled once.

Then I turned my head and waved goodbye while smiling again.

That way, I walked calmly and not too slowly on the red carpet and entered the broadcasting station.

Then.

“Please come this way!”

A staff member who had been waiting for me rushed to guide me.

Come to think of it, I need to go on stage now, right?

I quickly followed the staff member to the waiting room.

“Is Su-hyun here?”

“Wow, the dress is so pretty!”

Inside the waiting room, I saw members already sitting and fixing their makeup.

Everyone was getting their pictures taken while stepping on the red carpet and redoing their looks before going on stage.

“I just need to change clothes.”

“Ah, yes!”

I don’t need to fix my makeup.

I took off my dress and received the stage outfit.

“Here’s your stage outfit.”

“Ah, yes….”

I came wearing a neatly fitting dress without large patterns.

“Wow, you’ve changed completely.”

“Yeah….”

After changing into a cute pink stage outfit with frills given by the staff, I felt a peculiar feeling.

Sigh, to wear this kind of outfit until the end-of-year award ceremony.

To be honest, I wanted to wear an outfit similar to the dress I came in.

But the other three members insisted strongly.

“You should wear outfits like that sometimes.”

“Right, it’s got a gap-moe? kind of feel.”

“…I feel like I’ve worn enough already.”

I fiddled with the frilled hem of the dress while answering.

Wearing clothes like this always feels awkward.

After all, I’m more of a cool beauty type, right? I should stick to my face style.

“Come on, just wear it well.”

“Should I go buy a similar outfit at the department store later?”

Still, since the members liked it this much.

I might be okay wearing it a few times.

“Please buy me different clothes at the department store.”

“There are plenty of other outfits; you have to buy me something you’d definitely never wear.”

“…I have a lot of those at home.”

For example, there are bunny animal pajamas or cat animal pajamas, you know?

I already have so many mismatched clothes occupying closet space that it’s becoming problematic.

“Really? That’s surprising.”

“I’ll show you when you come over to my house later.”

Since I have so many pajamas, I can try putting them on guests who stay over at my place.

I got them larger because they said big sizes were cute.

Is this all part of the “Tenshi” theme?

Well, it’s ironic that I can’t wear them properly because I’m actually small.

Anyway.

“Everything is done!”

As I chatted, before I knew it, the other members had finished their makeup.

“Shall we head out right away?”

“Yes, yes, we don’t have much time.”

While we chatted excitedly during the makeup session.

In truth, we didn’t have that much time to spare.

After all, we were the first performance.

Usually, the opening and ending slots are reserved for popular groups, so it’s quite an honor.

“Ha, let’s do our best.”

“Yeah.”

In that way, we need to do well.

Especially since it’s a live stage, we can’t afford any mistakes.

After that, we left the waiting room and headed toward the stage.

Walking down the quiet hallway.

Ahead, I could see the bright stage.

Once we get past there, I’ll be in the spotlight of countless celebrities and audiences present at the award ceremony. And in front of cameras, I’ll be watched by people at home.

“Ha….”

Honestly, now the stage itself isn’t that much of a burden….

But the tension over the possibility of errors still quietly lingered in my mind.

…Such thoughts actually lead to mistakes.

I tried to clear my head.

Yeah, the members will manage perfectly.

Besides, what do I have to worry about?

I’m the owner of two digital chart trophies.

So, I boosted my confidence as I passed through the corridor and stepped onto the stage.

“Hello! This is ‘Toy Lover’!”

Soon enough.

Starting with the exclamation of the leader, Han Se-ryeong.

“We’ll start the opening!”

The end-of-year award ceremony stage opening began.
