The struggles of EXO's coordination

EXO's new outfit (1)

실장님

"I think you already know about the EXO coordinator suicide incident."

김여주

"···yes."

실장님

"In that regard, I would like Yeoju to become EXO's new stylist. Of course, the kids are probably anxious since the incident just broke out, but we can't ignore the tens of thousands of fans who are waiting for EXO and just keep going like this, right?"

I noticed the director's expression, clearly showing his annoyance.

실장님

"We look at the world with a cool head. We are very sorry about the suicide, but we don't want to give up on the giant that is EXO just because of the death of one stylist. And we won't do that."

김여주

"···."

실장님

"So, all you have to do is help us, Yeoju."

The sharp voice, which was comparable to his expression, felt intimidating.

EXO Cody's suicide case.

This incident, which occurred just a month ago, had repercussions not only in South Korea but also overseas.

김여주

'I heard you declared a halt to your activities due to that incident.'

That's understandable, as EXO abruptly announced a hiatus from activities due to the incident. The reason they had a special relationship with their former stylist was that they took their actions for granted.

김여주

'My relationship with my former coordinator was so special that we declared a hiatus from activities, and now you're asking me to join in?'

It didn't make sense. I applied on a whim because I needed money urgently, but it wasn't something I could possibly do.

실장님

"Ms. Yeoju, I heard your younger sibling is very sick. They need surgery right away, but their parents passed away early. They were a trainee at an unknown agency, but they were also cut from the agency they trusted."

김여주

'···How did you know that?'

실장님

"I think it was a stroke of genius that Yeoju studied design as a double major."

김여주

"···."

실장님

"If you can handle this matter well, we'll take care of all the costs of your younger sibling's surgery. If you want, we can even help you debut."

김여주

'···crazy.'

This is crazy. This is pure, literal crazy.

I don't know how they got my information, but their strategy for using it to persuade me was flawless.

김여주

'It's really groundbreaking.'

The terms were surprisingly generous. The offer to cover my younger sibling's surgery was tempting, but what really caught my eye was the offer to debut.

After I finished thinking, I didn't have to worry any longer. As I finished organizing my thoughts, my mouth moved naturally.

김여주

"I will."

실장님

"···."

김여주

"No matter what happens, I will bring EXO back on stage."

김여주

"Oh, hello."

장이씽

"···who?"

김여주

"This time, my name is Kim Yeo-ju, who has joined as a new coordinator."

박찬열

"Get out. I won't accept you as my coordinator."

I expected it, but isn't this a bit too much?

As soon as I signed the contract, I went to the EXO members' practice room to say hello. Their idly staring at their phones was momentarily interrupted by my sudden appearance.

Before I could even finish my greeting by adding the modifier of new stylist, member Chanyeol started cursing out of the blue.

He spoke informally to someone I'd just met, and even told me to get lost. He asked if I thought he was doing this for fun.

My expression dropped, as if I'd suddenly crashed to the bottom. The team leader, Kim Junmyeon, who had been watching me, approached me and spoke.

김준면

"I'm sorry. Chanyeol is sensitive right now, so I apologize for the inconvenience. You said you were Miss Yeoju, right? I'm sorry, but we have no plans to return yet. We don't need a new stylist either."

김여주

"···."

김준면

"I'll find you a new job, so please give up your position as our coordinator."

It was a polite tone, but it wasn't what I wanted to hear. What use would a new job be to me right now?

김여주

'I have to do this.'

I was useless if it wasn't for this. That's where I stood now.

I steeled my resolve. Even though getting started was so difficult, I didn't want to be the fool who gave up before even starting. No matter what,

김여주

"Yeah. I guess I'm not really needed by them. But I'm not. I need them."

엑소

"···."

김여주

"I look forward to working with you in the future."

I will change them.
