Just as Seoyeon had researched Stella, Stella had also gathered various information about Seoyeon. For example, someone had posted a compilation of Seoyeon’s highlights in her fan community. Among those highlights was a clip from Hyper Action Star.

    And Stella’s reaction to watching it?

    "What is this, a variety show?"

    Although the video was labeled as an action movie audition, it didn’t feel like one.

    It was closer to a variety program.

    In fact, it resembled a poorly coordinated variety show, with Seoyeon standing out as the sole performer.

    She deflected incoming paintballs by sight with her hands.

    She cleared various missions using her extraordinary physical abilities.

    And then there was the final fight with Sora. Unlike the other scenes, this one felt more like a properly choreographed battle.

    As with most variety shows, exaggeration was the norm. Even the dullest American programs followed this pattern.

    Given today’s trend of seeking more sensational content, overseas productions weren’t much different.

    With the competition from YouTubers and virtual streamers growing, variety shows needed to offer what influencers couldn’t.

    So Stella didn’t overanalyze Seoyeon’s performances. Over the past year, Seoyeon had been gaining prominence, and the show likely played up her abilities to promote her.

    Still, Stella couldn’t help but think some of the scenes might backfire.

    ‘Not that it’s any of my business.’

    She dismissed the thought and instead recalled the plane ticket she had booked online.@@@@

    You should’ve tried talking to her.

    └ Would you approach someone after seeing that?

    └ Why not?

    └ What if she punched me after looking at my face?Did she seriously break the machine?Someone recorded a video. Apparently, she just punched it, and it ended up like that.

    └ WTF... What would happen if she punched a person?

    └ What do you think would happen?
