two for ages, and here you are, already getting acquainted behind my back!"And even though Jingyuan and I have known each other for so long, he hasn't come to see my performances before. He's always s...Jeong Eon-ji took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.

She was wearing a white short-sleeved undershirt under a dark blue denim jacket. Her lower body matched with tight jeans. Her brown long hair was slightly curly and draped in front of her face. She had light makeup on, and her whole look was a bit youthful.

Under the encouragement of their agent, they walked into the audition room.

While ’s audition took place in an office, ’s was more formal, resembling a small stage. She walked in and sat on a high stool at the center of the stage. A camera was pointed directly at her, filming her. Below, a row of staff members from the production team sat watching.

Including the producer Lee Min-hak, director Shin Yuan-ho, and screenwriter Lee Yoo-jeong, all eyes were on Jung Eun-ji above. Shin Yuan-ho's face still showed a clear look of scrutiny.

"Relax, don't panic."

After the staff member had offered a reassuring word, the audition officially began.

He asked her many questions and then had her perform a piece, reciting several lines of dialogue.

The audition with Chi Jingyuan was somewhat similar to the previous one, but they asked significantly more questions and were stricter.

After watching Zheng Eundi's performance for a long time, the several creators below looked at each other, exchanged opinions with their eyes, and nodded lightly to indicate that it was acceptable.

A big requirement for this role is the Busan dialect. This is very easy for Jung Eun-ji, who was born in Busan.

Although she has no acting experience, her personality and performance in the audition were quite similar to those of the leading actress, Cheng Shiyuan.

"Not bad, just..."

Li Youzhen looked at Jeong Eun-ji, frowned, and whispered to the director beside her: "Do you feel that she and the male lead are a little mismatched"

Since the male lead has been cast as Ji Jingyuan, the female lead's casting naturally needs to consider pairing well with him.

Lee Yu-jen is very optimistic about Chi Jingyuan and is trying to modify the script to increase the male lead's role. Her starting point is that she hopes the female lead can be more matched with the male lead.

To put it simply, there's a gap in terms of appearance.

But naturally, he didn't say much in person. After asking a few more questions, the audition ended. Li Minghan said that the audition effect was good and they would consider it carefully. He went back to wait for news first.

Jeon Ji-hyun smiled and bowed to bid farewell to everyone.

On the way back in the nanny car.

"Well then, what do the PDs say"

The driver's agent was very concerned and as soon as they got in the car, they asked.

Just now, when I was auditioning for Jung Eun-ji, the manager wasn't idle either. He kept chatting with other staff members on set to build connections and asked about a lot of things related to the production.

He naturally knows who has more say in casting.

"It's okay, the PD said the effect is good."

Jung Eun-ji slumped in the back seat, her mind replaying the audition scene just moments ago, she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Great! That's wonderful news. The company will continue to follow up after you go back, your chances are very high." The manager was very happy after hearing that.

"By the way, Oppa, has the male lead for this drama been decided yet Who is it"

Jung Eun Ji recalled the evaluation she had heard before, and asked with a furrowed brow.

"Well, I heard it was just confirmed the day before yesterday, it was..."

………

Just back in the dorm, Jeong Eun-ji was welcomed by the members.

Since their debut over a year ago, Apk has released two mini albums and one full-length album. They also achieved their first music show win at the beginning of the year and swept all the rookie awards in 2011.

The opening was impressive, but the rest of it was somewhat lackluster.

The development over the past period hasn't been great, nor has it been terrible. It's just average, neither hot nor cold.

Although there may be occasional disagreements among team members, they generally get along well.

Although she appears soft and has a gentle voice, captain and elder sister Park Chorong possesses a strong personality both privately and in her leadership. She is kind and cheerful while also being incredibly capable and authoritative.

Today there were no announcements, and the members stayed in their dorm. Jung Eun-ji was welcomed inside by Kim Na-jung as soon as she entered.

"Oh my..."

Jung Eunji was clearly much more relaxed once she was back in the dorm. She changed her shoes and walked straight into the living room, flopping down on the sofa. She stretched her arms up, letting her tummy show, and let out a long sigh.

Although the audition process was quite fast this time, she was very nervous throughout the whole thing. As a result, she's been on edge ever since, not knowing the outcome. After returning to her dorm and relaxing, she felt incredibly exhausted.

"Oni, how did the fitting go"

Jin Nanzhu walked over and sat beside him, curiously asking.

Several other members heard the commotion and came over. Of course, they all knew about Jung Eun Ji's participation in the audition for the lead female role of a TV drama.

Of course, everyone is dying to know the results of the audition. After all, it wasn't just Jung Eun-ji in the group who wanted to be an actress.

"PD finally said the audition went well, but they haven't confirmed if I got the role yet. I have to wait a few days for a notification." Jung Eun-ji closed her eyes, her voice laced with weariness.

But...

She followed up with, her eyes opening, her expression shifting.

"Huh" Pu Chulong widened her eyes and stared at him.

"I heard the writer and PD talking privately, saying that if I were the female lead, I wouldn't look good with the male lead."

Jung Eonji frowned, pulling out the news she had heard during her fitting. She couldn't say what she felt.

"Who is the male lead"

Jeong Eun-ji's words captivated everyone's attention, and several members huddled close to her.

"Well... the male lead is just confirmed. My manager oppa has checked it out, and it's Park Ji-won."

"Pool Jingyuan He's just a rookie actor" Kim Nanjoo said she was unfamiliar with the name.

“It’s the male group EXO’s Yuan, his real name is Park Ji-seong.”

Jeon Ji-hyun was a bit tired, but she still explained.

“…………”

For a moment, the room fell silent. Several members looked at each other, their eyes meeting in quick exchanges.

"Well, that's a bit of a mismatch."

Wu Xiaorong is more straightforward and quick-witted now.

"Oh!" Jung Eun-ji seemed to be struck, and she shouted at Woo Ha-ryung.

"That's right."

Wu Xia Rong was a little scared, she took a few steps back until she reached a safe distance. Then, she stuck her neck out and insisted on her opinion: "Yuan, we met backstage after the singing show, his appearance and figure were really impressive. Oni, you..."

The rest of the words were left unsaid, choked off by Jeong Eon-ji’s gaze, which seemed intent on tearing her to shreds.

The members next to him also nodded in agreement with Wu Xiaorong's words, but perhaps out of consideration for Zheng En Di's face, their nods were very small.

"Ah!" Jung Eun-ji screamed hysterically, lying on the sofa with no energy to move.

"En Di ah, fightg, PD even said the audition effect was very good, we will definitely succeed."

Park Chu Long patted Jeong Eunji's thigh, encouraging her.

"Fight!" Several members also came over at the same time to encourage Jung Eun-ji. Wu Xiaorong, who had just stepped back a few steps, also walked over and made a cheering gesture.

This novel is first released on the website of Traditional Chinese Novels. Although her expression didn't show it, there was obvious curiosity in her eyes. She cutely tapped a few buttons on the car door with her finger, then turned her head and looked at Ji-seong with spar...
