This event is in collaboration with @festivkorea_official.”
“Did you post it?”
“Done, it’s posted…!”
“Good job. Phew, finally done!”
“It’s not over, director! We still need to hire security and arrange for barrier equipment check-outs, and when the camera and audio directors come later, we need to explain the Hwaseong Stadium MCR room—”
“Huuhh. I was just joking about the feeling…”
The representative of NoName Entertainment, Lee Bo-reum, couldn’t suppress the yawns that kept escaping her.
Because for almost five days, the entire staff had been in a battlefield-like day.
The conclusion they reached was twofold.
‘Subcontracting is god.’
‘You can buy time with money.’
Starting with borrowing a dedicated TF team of 20 from the still popular 7-year-old idol ENVY.
They paid double for all subcontracting contracts to expedite the schedule.
Though hastily built, with all high-end materials, it felt quite complete.
But leaks are always bound to happen somewhere.
[Comments]
– Wow, NoName vs Love Kim ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
– Why is this notice four days early?
– Not a fan club venue, but a stadium???
– What kind of idol fan meeting poster is this? It’s for a Magic Battle competition, lol!
– For such an epic match, it’s just a duo fan meeting? The operator is crazy!
– Ah, the operator probably just doesn’t want to spread rumors everywhere, lol!
– If you’re gonna do it, please promote it properly;;
– If it’s NoName vs Love Kim, people might fly in from abroad just to see it.
– Should I book a flight even now…
– I have plans on the weekend; could you post things like this a bit earlier, please?ㅠㅠ
– Why is it in Hwaseong and not Seoul? I don’t get it.
Already, the fans of Na-me were heavily annoyed.
“A duo fan meeting? The poster is a bit…”
“But we had no choice…! We have to say we’re holding a fan meeting to get help from Blue Sun Ent and Festiv. If we just shout that we’re doing a Magic Battle a week later without any preparations, won’t everyone run away?”
“Don’t say that, you did well. For now, let’s rest our eyes in the capsule until Maru arrives.”
“Director, that’s a really good idea…”
Thud—
A staff member collapsed onto the desk.
Lee Bo-reum stood up from her place and surveyed the office.
Snore—
With no employees clocked out, a peculiar sight had unfolded with none awake.
Lee Bo-reum squeezed the last bit of her energy and dialed a number.
“Hello? Yes, Maru. Ah, announcer Kim Jae-sung said he will be the caster? That’s a relief. By any chance, where are you? I have somewhere else to go on a business trip…”
The Hwaseong Olympic Stadium had hosted an international cockfighting competition just days before, so the floor was practically a wrestling mat.
While they were still searching for a company to fill the uneven dirt floor…
[We just arrived. Can you see us?]
Seo Maru waved cheerfully outside the glass door.
He was tightly gripping coffees in both hands.
“Director, why don’t you have an iced Americano?”
“Why are you just arriving? Maru took my car, so I can’t go anywhere now…”
Lee Bo-reum stopped momentarily.
A girl peeked her head behind Seo Maru.
“Wow, it’s a total disaster.”
The source of the late-night work nonchalantly stated.
“…!”
A staff member who woke up startled at the sight of Na-me.
“Shhh. Others are sleeping. Here’s some coffee.”
“Ah, yes.”
“You can sleep a bit longer. I need to talk with the director for a moment.”
Na-me lulled the staff back to sleep and turned to Lee Bo-reum.
“Na-me, what kind of hardships are you going through?”
“Huh, I thought it would take much longer, but they’ve already posted the ticketing notice? Bo-reum unni is really talented.”
“There’s still a mountain of work ahead. We’ll need to fill the stadium floor, go for the safety inspection tonight, and starting tomorrow, there are more service contracts to—”
“Why fill the floor?”
“Because it’s an entirely dirt floor! If you step on it, it sinks!”
“That’s annoying; let’s just leave it as is. I don’t care.”
“Is that really okay? That works for me.”
Lee Bo-reum felt a sudden gratitude for having Na-me lighten her workload.
‘Wait, I was about to end up with Stockholm syndrome, considering she was the one pushing all the work onto me!’
But Na-me’s facade of kindness continued to play out.
“The safety inspection of the stadium will be managed by Sephiron Foundation. Here’s the business card for Director Kim Yong-seong; I’ve completed all the payments, so you can contact him later.”
“You made the payment? Did you sign a contract?”
“Yep. And if we have 100,000 people coming to watch, we might run out of restrooms, you know? So, they said they will install mobile container restrooms… Furthermore, Raon Clan interns will take care of security around the venue. Let’s set aside 10 tickets for them as gifts.”
“You didn’t formally hire them; you settled for just 10 tickets? For the interns from Raon Clan?”
“And regarding online streaming, VP of QBS said he’d help, so we shouldn’t need to worry about broadcasting.”
“Obviously! So, hold on, what does that mean for us? We have nothing left to do…?”
Lee Bo-reum’s eyes widened in shock.
Just how extensive is her network to manage all this in one day?
Of course, it was mostly just pushing it off on others, but even that was considered part of one’s skills in this industry.
Meanwhile, Na-me tilted her head in confusion.
As if questioning why she was being asked that.
“If there’s nothing to do, you can just go home.”
“Ah, right…! I completely forgot. We were beings who could actually go home…”
Lee Bo-reum mumbled, gathering her padded coat.
At the director’s call of “Let’s all go home,” the staff members jumped up.
“Home? Huh? Why is Na-me here…?”
Among them, the road manager who had drooled while sleeping suddenly became aware of Na-me’s presence and cried out.
“Am I getting fired?”
Interpreting “go home” as a permanent exit, she drew laughter from the other employees.

[NoName & Love Kim Duo Fan Meeting is Seriously Ridiculous LOL]
(Duo fan meeting poster.jpg)
Duo: Two people come out
Fan Meeting: Meeting the fans
Anyway, a Magic Battle is also a fan meeting, lol!
No wonder the ticketing said that it’s only for those 15 years and older.
[Comments]
– Their expressions are so wistful, and the background is floral, it’s seriously hilarious, lol!
– Anyway, the hype has been successful; let’s drink to that~
└ At this point, NoName Entertainment must be living the good life, lol!
└ If they had posted this a bit earlier, isn’t that a good idea?
– My heart swells with pride.
– Phew, with 100,000, it won’t be overly packed.
└ It’s NoName, so who knows?
└ Despite ticketing being just two days ago, the venue is in Hwaseong, and there was no promo, but it’s NoName, so who knows?
[Seriously, don’t kid with me, are there 2.8 million concurrent users?]
(Ticket site status.jpg)
I figured 100,000 would definitely be achievable, but damn, lol!
[Comments]
– Today’s definitely a one-second cut, lol!
– If Na-me was generous enough to open 100,000 seats, if it fails, you’re not worthy of watching NoName for the rest of your life, you loser.
└ (Poster) You speak so beautifully, don’t you? ^^
└ For real, lol.
– The fact that all seats are 50,000 is just a scam.
– It’s bonkers that the promo didn’t happen but still got to this level, lol!
– Everyone’s just talking about Na-me. Am I the only one going to see Kim Love?
└ Love Unni every time she uses magic makes my heart raceㅠㅠ
└ In my eyes, she’s the top tier of muscular slenderness. Honestly, I want to see her made up.
*
[It exploded again, damn it!!!!!!!]
(All seats are sold out.jpg)
This can’t be real, right? Please say it’s a lieㅠㅠㅠ
I’ve really lost my will to live…
[Comments]
– Can’t even get it even if they give it to me, lol!
– There were 3 million concurrent users in the end.
– Honestly, most probably failed on ticketing.
– My parents succeeded; what’s that about, lol?
└ But the older generation seems to have better luck at ticketing?
└ Back in the barbaric age, they did ticketing the same way as course registration…
[Na-me’s explanation about NoName Entertainment’s lazy work controversy posted on V-tube]
Summary: NoName vs Kim Love Magic Battle was first suggested by Na-me last Saturday.
This was creepier than any horror movie I’ve seen lately… ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
[Comments]
– So the ‘Let’s do it!’ was said last Saturday?
– ??!?
– Wtf, I’ve got goosebumps.
– What, what, what?!
– Suddenly makes me giggle, lol.
– ???: You want us to plan a 100,000 seat scale event on a week’s notice? Us?
– But how did it really happen? In the end, it worked out, right?
– Ahhhh, Na-me this crazy kid!!!!!
– Did anyone else hear that eerie voice calling?
– Don’t forget. Na-me’s essence is the CEO who normalized the failing Wagal.
*
[Na-me ← Suddenly wants to teach a lesson, upvote if you agree lol]
If I get to cheer for Love Kim, upvote please, lol!
[Comments]
– Did a bit of short-selling, and now there’s a ton of hate going around.
– These days, if V-tubers earn just 1 million won, there’s envy, but 771.9 billion is unbeatable.
– I’m curious how strong Na-me has gotten.
– It’s already been half a year since the National Exchange Tournament.
– Or maybe she’s gotten weaker? She’s been working without proper sleep.
[Wow, I’m going to see Na-me today! Everyone, congratulate me!]
I was born too late to sail the seven seas,
and too early to venture among the stars,
but it’s the perfect time to witness the peak of human intelligence!
(Family entrance ticket.jpg)
I will watch the event with my wife and daughters. Go Na-me Na-me!
[Comments]
– Ten years old is the peak, huh?
– Reporting for Fedoro.
– How did someone with a family end up here…?
– Ah, I’m so jealous, lol. I’ll wait to see it in the video later.
– Just look at how many people there are, lol!

Before the match started, a problem arose.
“To change the barrier setting to 3%, we need to contact the company? How long will that take?”
An unexpected turn of events occurred.
It is said to be a policy resulting from the strengthened safety standards after the attempted assassination of Monica Ricci.
“It’ll take about 40 minutes.”
“Then it’ll be delayed by an hour or so.”
“Yeah, what should we do?”
“Hold on, let’s think for a moment.”
Almost 100,000 spectators had entered the Hwaseong Olympic Stadium.
If they held the fan meeting first, the mental preparation they’d done for the Magic Battle would go to waste.
After all, they had all promised to kill each other; suddenly switching to a loving atmosphere wouldn’t help their focus on the match.
‘What a chance we’ve made.’
But leaving the audience hanging like this would certainly make headlines.
That would severely damage the image of NoName Entertainment.
So, even though it felt a bit ridiculous to me…
“Weren’t a lot of singers or celebrities showing up today?”
“Uh? Uh, yes, everyone was posting about it on SNS a lot.”
“Since they’re here, would it be okay to just ask them to sing a song or two before they leave?”
“Huh? Is this some karaoke? Are you serious? In the middle of a wrestling ring with no podium?”

[During the NoName fan meeting, idol group ENVY barged in barefoot, lol.]
Legendary, legendary.
They sang a bit of a new song earlier and are now performing hostess duties, lol!
[Comments]
– Wait, Yoon-seo is there too?
– What’s with the surprise guest?
– Suddenly throwing an opening ceremony out of nowhere?
– Why is it just you going to the concert, lol!
– If NoName is going to do stuff like this, please tell us in advance!!!
