Thrilled by Madness (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 1

A week ago, the festival for artists came to a successful close.

That day, both those present at the venue and the general public—who vividly experienced the astonishing incident through the media—unanimously declared it the most memorable year-end awards ceremony they’d ever had.

Who would have thought the rumor about Tae Seo Jun and Eom So Yeon dating was actually true? Moreover, it turned out Eom So Yeon’s child was Tae Seo Jun’s. That shocking confession alone left people utterly speechless—realizing just how deeply connected the two had been for so long.

It happened right after the two vanished from the venue like a gust of wind. The Best Actor award ultimately went to the veteran actor from the film that had fiercely competed with Tae Seo Jun’s “Lord of the Sun.” A steadfast performer who had quietly devoted himself to acting in front of the camera for thirty years—his distinguished, masterful performance made the award an obvious choice.

Seo Jun felt genuinely pleased, as he’d hoped for exactly that outcome. His only regret was having to deliver his congratulations over the phone the next day instead of in person, as he’d always deeply respected that actor. Ironically, it was Seo Jun who received heartfelt congratulations during that very call.

From the very first day of the new year, a sensational exclusive headline dominated every news outlet and web platform:

“Tae Seo Jun and Eom So Yeon: Imminent Wedding!”

“Tae Seo Jun Smiles at Eom So Yeon’s Proposal”

“Shocking Revelation! The ‘Best Couple’ Award Winners, Tae-Seo, Turn Drama Into Reality”

“Award Ceremony Thrown Into Chaos by Eom So Yeon’s Confession—Met with Thunderous Applause”

“Charismatic Actor Tae Seo Jun Already a Father—Everyone Shocked!”

That was probably why.

Yet today, a week after headlines like these flooded the media, another statement—this time issued by Gu Won Hoo, CEO of their agency—sent ripples through the press once again:

“Hello. This is Gu Won Hoo, CEO of CN Entertainment.

We at the company were completely unaware of Tae Seo Jun and Eom So Yeon’s relationship until recently, which caused us deep concern. While we acknowledged this was an issue the public deserved to know—given their status as public figures—we also couldn’t ignore that it was fundamentally part of their private lives, making an immediate disclosure difficult. So when the two of them suddenly made it public themselves, we can only imagine how surprised you all must have been.
