Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 166: Losing 400,000 Fans

Jooeun opened the video, it was a short 30 seconds. She finally got to see how her expression appeared when she was filming the commercial with Jeonghwan. She looked like she had complete trust and was full of love like she had forgotten the world around her. In her eyes, there was total devotion for Jeonghwan. Seeing all these, she couldn't help but blush!

Of course, in the video, all that could be seen from Jeonghwan was his back. Damiani selected to end the highlights video with the last scene of them holding each other's hand and Jooeun leaning on Jeonghwan's shoulder. The scene was shockingly beautiful. So beautiful it made others breathless because the emotions were too touching. Damiani even turned this scene into their promotional image, blowing it up into huge posters and lightboxes and gradually popping them up in major shopping centers.

In an instant, Kangjun's phone almost exploded with calls from various people. Some wanted to know Jooeun's schedule, others wanted to know who the male model was. They all wanted them to either appear together on their magazine front covers or walk down the runway together.

Kangjun was at home at this time. He had no idea Damiani's commercial highlights would create such a stir. So he pulled out his laptop to have a look. Although he had already witnessed the scene at the resort, seeing the interaction between Jooeun and Jeonghwan on screen made him finally understand why a short 30-second highlight video could attract the attention of so many people. This commercial had the ability to stir up deep emotions within the viewer. After seeing it, it gave one a sense of satisfaction and happiness. This was the message Damiani wanted to convey; marriage is not the end.

Online, everyone was full of praise.

"OMG! Even though I know this is a commercial, I am willing to be sucked in by them."

"The highlights are already so beautiful. Damiani, hurry and place the entire commercial up! This is the first time I've fallen in love with a commercial, I've already repeated it 20-30 times."

"Cha Jooeun is a real beauty! I am set on my appraisal! Especially since her eyes are so clear that it feels like you can look through to her soul!"

"Oh! Most importantly is this back. Who is this man?"

"I'm about to explode! This man has such charisma. He looks noble, mature, and is bursting with manliness. Why we are only allowed to see his back? I want to become a fan of his back!"

"I hope Joohyuk's fans don't get angry at me. But in all honesty, I'm afraid, even just this man's back is enough to sense his presence. From top to bottom, Nam Joohyuk can't compare at all."

"He is so handsome!"

"Lucky it wasn't Nam Joohyuk. I'm about to get married and after seeing this commercial I was determined to buy their rings – hoping for a lifetime of happiness."

"Please reveal the 'back-view dream man'!"

No one expected that Jooeun and the 'back-view dream man' would become the hottest topic with a simple highlights video. As for Joohyuk, his name was only mentioned when being ridiculed or compared. His fans were originally furious. But after seeing the highlights video, they were speechless. They couldn't find any flaws or anything to complain about. In terms of height, Joohyuk at most reached this man's forehead. In terms of figure, Joohyuk appeared to be a weakling in comparison. And in terms of presence, this man's king-like dominance, far exceeded Joohyuk's. Of course, the only regret was not seeing his face!

The arrogance of the fans disappeared. While a portion of the fans that liked Joohyuk for his body, quickly diverted their obsession towards the 'back-view dream man', abandoning Joohyuk on the side of the road.

As for the topic: 'Lucky Joohyuk was replaced', this quickly flew to the top of search rankings. And of course, the comments were unanimous.

"Nam Joohyuk is rubbish. If I was the director and had such a great resource in front of me, I too would have replaced him. Well done!"

"Exactly, I completely agree!"

At first, because Joohyuk was in a meeting with his agency, he did not receive the first-hand news. But as soon as he came out of the meeting room, he lazily stretched his hand out to his manager, gesturing for his phone. His manager hesitated.

"What happened? Why aren't you giving it to me?"

His manager wanted to say something but stopped as he obediently handed the phone over. Joohyuk's expression was originally one of mockery, he even placed his feet on the coffee table in a contempt manner; swaying it shamelessly. However, after seeing the video and the comments online, his expression completely changed. He was so angry he smashed the phone in his hand.

"Who is this person?" Joohyuk asked as he pointed to the shattered phone. "Who is this man?"

His manager shook his head...

"More handsome than me? Are these people blind?"

His manager thought to himself: You are obviously the one that is blind.

Joohyuk's manager couldn't be blamed for siding with an outsider. By simply looking at the back of the man in the commercial, it was enough to see how perfect he was. In comparison, Joohyuk was far from being on the same level. This was obvious to everyone, except him. He still thought of himself as invincible.

"All in all, the winds have currently changed. Everyone is praising the director's choice..." They think replacing you was the best decision. Of course, his manager was too afraid to say the last sentence.

Joohyuk kicked the coffee table and flung the vase atop the table with one swipe of his arms onto the floor. He couldn't even compete against the back of this man. He was incomparable to a back. Overnight, Joohyuk lost 400,000 fans.

400,000!

Competing agencies immediately grasped onto the laughing stock and took advantage to humiliate Joohyuk. He had caused such a huge commotion with the replacement incident and almost tore apart Cha Jooeun. Yet, what was the result? Even Joohyuk's fans were screaming, "Replacement well done!"

Clingy fans quickly clung to the mysterious man. In just one day's time, they had forgotten who Joohyuk was. Their curiosity was focused on the 'back-view dream man'. Everyone was fixated on this back and started a mass investigation into how this man would look if he turned around. However, even when scouring the entire entertainment industry and placing all male celebrities with similar backs together, they found they were either too feminine or too robust, noble without any power or powerful yet too old. They weren't 'just right' like the man in the commercial...

Since the fans couldn't identify the man, they directly contacted Jooeun and the director. But how could she reveal anything?

In the end, after 2 days of hard work, fans finally put together an irresponsibly vague list of names. Miraculously, amongst the list, there was actually Jeonghwan's name. This was because the list included people from all walks of life – even international celebrities.

Jooeun's popularity did not decrease. And because she knew the identity of the man, the media fought over who was to interview her. They wanted to get even the slightest clue from her mouth.

Seeing Jooeun's popularity, Yeji's expression was deep and dark. She had never imagined Jooeun would pull through like this. However, did Jooeun expect her to bow down to her relying solely on this point?

Impossible! This is only the start.
