"······condition?"
Producer Byung-seon Yoon's eyes widen slightly. That's because he couldn't think of the word condition. On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin just wanted to throw it away.
'I don't know, Mr. It's just gouda.'
In any case, PD Yoon Byeong-seon must have been able to understand Woojin's unusual personality through 'Sports Day'. Of course, it was all just a concept, but I guess this level of bravado and strength is okay.
'Rather than just refusing it, it's also a necessary condition for my future.'
Fortunately, PD Yoon Byung-seon reacted very indifferently.
"Okay, if it's not a big problem, we'll do our best to help."
Producer Byung-seon Yoon was already considered the best in the entertainment world. He must have worked with many celebrities, and the conditions he was told by them must have been many. At this, Woojin opened his mouth with some ease.
"First of all, other than the basics, I don't want you to make a big deal about the details of my past."
"Oh, a veiled concept?"
Woojin, who flinched slightly at the concept, managed to keep his composure.
"no. "Rather than focusing on the concept, I just want to focus on who I am now."
"ah-"
"I don't want there to be any guesswork. "It's natural to be open from the moment you become an actor, but I don't necessarily want my past private life to be revealed."
"I know what you mean. "There are a lot of celebrities who have that kind of situation, and it's not even on the condition list."
It was true. In fact, most Korean celebrities hide their past. Because celebrities are products. Pretty packaging is essential for products, and it would be better if there were no past issues that would interfere with that packaging.
Solid image making.
Of course, sometimes there are celebrities whose hidden pasts are revealed and who walk into the abyss, and there are also those whose hidden good deeds are revealed. But that's only a minority, and most celebrities don't really reveal their past.
Producer Byung-seon Yoon also knew this well.
In particular, those who are quickly reaching stardom or rising rookies are even more hidden. Because I'm sensitive. This is because the roots are weak as they float. Moreover, Kang Woo-jin is currently soaring at a faster rate than anyone else. Producer Byung-seon Yoon naturally planned to be considerate of Woo-jin Kang.
but.
'Hmm - judging from his personality and atmosphere, it didn't seem like it would be smooth sailing, but it looks like he had some deep circumstances in his past.'
Meanwhile, the stack of misunderstandings increased.
'Well, I guess I didn't lightly build up my foreign language skills in addition to my acting skills. 'There's a venom in his eyes that doesn't suit his age.'
Whatever happens, the past is just the past. Producer Byung-seon Yoon was a thoroughly future-oriented person, and he was just greedy for the current Kang Woo-jin, nothing more or less.
"I promise. If anything, you can add it to the contract. "Even when editing, we will not include even a single detail of such nuance."
"thank you."
"No, as I said, there are many actors who say such conditions. Well, I don't really care. "If only Woojin hadn't committed a crime, haha."
It was a joke to lighten the mood. However, PD Byung-seon Yoon's laughter gradually decreases when he sees Woo-jin's silent expression.
"ha ha ha. Oh, you didn't? crime."
of course. I have lived with integrity in the world. I also paid rent regularly. Kang Woo-jin answered confidently and strongly.
"Of course, not at all."
"Of course, it's a joke. "What are the other conditions?"
"Is it possible for me to know in advance who will be joining me?"
The reason Kang Woo-jin asked to know the casted actors in advance was simple.
'It's okay to be surprised now.'
The intention was to make it known so as not to cause offense. For Woojin, the entertainment industry was unfamiliar to him. If you recognize it early, you will be less surprised. At this time, PD Yoon Byeong-seon received a transparent file from the writers.
"I have to let you know. That is also something that is revealed in the first place. "Because there are people who make decisions based on the other person."
He pushes it to Kang Woo-jin.
"A total of 6 people are watching. The ones confirmed so far are An Jong-hak and Ha Kang-soo. One is coordinating. Of course, Kang Woo-jin too."
Ahn Jong-hak was a top all-round entertainer rather than a top actor. Although he studied his day job, he also did well in entertainment and singing. Ha Kang-soo is a typical top actor. In terms of visuals, he is on the same level as Ryu Jung-min.
Two great actors have already appeared.
However, PD Yoon Byung-seon's explanation was not over.
"I'm looking at about two women. One of them is Hwarin."
"···Who? Mr. Hwarin?"
"yes. Ah, right? "Woojin, are you doing a Netflix one-act with Hwarin this time?"
"yes."
"Haha, Hwarin was mentioned in Aejinjak. She had contacted him much earlier than Mr. Woojin. "He has been working in Japan for a long time, so he is fluent in Japanese, and more importantly, he has worked with me a few times in the past."
"okay. "Is Hwarin confirmed?"
"It's confirmed. I heard that the work I'm putting in during this solo activity will be on Netflix and will be short. "Are you uncomfortable, Hwarin?"
Specifically? To be honest, Kang Woo-jin and Hwarin were just like that. The first impression is probably not that good.
'I think Hwarin would be more uncomfortable with me than me.'
Well, that's roughly the case with Hwarin. Kang Woo-jin looked down at the casting board and thought for a moment. But she wasn't that long. No, when am I going to go abroad? It's also free. It was even a large-scale entertainment show directed by PD Yoon Byeong-seon.
The growing awareness is a bonus.
It was an entertainment show that I would do someday, and if I was going to do it, it would be better to do it on a big scale like this. Honestly, I thought Woojin would be fun.
'I also want to try using English or Japanese openly.'
Soon, Kang Woo-jin, who had been imagining himself abroad, raised his head and focused his gaze on PD Yoon Byeong-seon. A low voice is spoken next.
"I will try my best."
PD Yoon Byeong-seon, who was laughing, grabbed Kang Woo-jin's hand.
"Thank you, ha I'm already looking forward to it. Doing it with Woojin."
I took out my cell phone.
"Then, shall we have a realistic discussion with Choi Dae-pyo?"
Same time.
At the time when Kang Woo-jin was discussing realistic figures with PD Yoon Byeong-seon, various things were going on in the entertainment industry as a whole. The filming of the movie 'Drug Dealer' was accelerating even though Kang Woo-jin was absent for a while.
And what can I say, the heat at the scene got even hotter after Woojin went there.
"Ah, Director, I'm sorry. "I'll go over the scene one more time now."
"huh? Mr. Jaejun. "I was okay?"
"I think I messed up the lines a bit. please."
"Uh, okay."
The staff were staff, but the actors were hot. The tension rose to the point where it seemed excessive. This was definitely the same picture as Hanryang.
"Director, why doesn't it seem like the actors' fighting skills have increased?"
"It's because of Woojin. A rising rookie came as a substitute and showed a decent performance. "Even if it's me, they tell me my acting is to die for."
It was the effect of Kang Woo-jin, the smoke monster.
Among the works that Woojin joined, star writer Lee Wol-seon has also recently made more moves.
『[Issue Check] KBC's top PD Song Hyeok wins bid for star writer 'Lee Wol-seon's new work』
With the production team and main PD officially established, pre-production officially opened. Kang Woo-jin is the only actor confirmed yet, but perhaps because it is writer Lee Wol-seon's new work, top actors are often in the spotlight.
In other words, it was obvious that actor casting would be sorted out quickly.
Unofficial bigwigs were also in an uproar.
For example, Akari Takikawa, a very popular Japanese novelist currently in Korea. As soon as she arrived in Korea, she was busy giving interviews to the domestic publishing industry press.
『[Photo] Akari Takikawa, a world-renowned novelist visiting Korea, "This time, one of my works will be made into a movie"』
There, he revealed that one of his works would be filmed. On the other hand, he came with writer Akari and director Kyotaro in Korea, but was moving around secretly.
"Hello, Director."
"Long time no see. "Did you check the contents by email?"
A meeting was in progress with a domestic importer and distributor. Of course, only a few people know.
"This next film is aiming to be released in both Korea and Japan."
In addition, Director Kwon Ki-taek's side was equally secretive, but some reporters who smelled it published articles.
『[Movie Talk] News of director Kwon Ki-taek's new film, industry insiders say, "The scenario is already circulating in the market."』
But it didn't spread that big.
Still, interest in director Kwon Ki-taek's next film was high in the film industry. He is a very influential director, and there have been few major works or issues in the film industry recently. Anyway, director Kwon Ki-taek's 'Island of the Missing' was quietly making its way through the pre-release stage.
The main and supporting cast, including Kang Woo-jin and Ryu Jeong-min, have already been moved to the final stages of storyboarding.
The entire entertainment industry went crazy like always, and the night arrived before we knew it.
The location is a coin karaoke room near Samseong Station.
The time was past 9 o'clock. However, because it was a fairly large coin karaoke room, there were a lot of customers. Students to relieve stress from the day, women with friends, men with a drink, etc.
Among them, a room filled with three women.
"Um, what should I call it?"
"Are you calling me first?"
"ah! wait for a sec!"
At that time, a pop song is heard softly from the next room.
-♬♪
When Jeonju was heard, none of the women thought anything of it. However, the moment the prelude to the audible pop song ends and the proper song is heard.
"······Wow, wait a minute, sing well."
"Pop song crazy? What is the pronunciation? "Are you a foreigner?"
All three women stopped moving and listened to the pop song being played. Because his voice was male, but his singing skills were amazing.
"how? "Your voice is so damn loud."
"You're a real singer, aren't you?"
"Wow, my ears are melting."
"I guess you're a singer? Do you want to take a peek?"
From what they heard, the man clearly had skills comparable to that of a singer. But for now, women quietly listen to pop songs. The funny thing is.
-♬♪
"uh? A Japanese song this time?"
After the pop song ends, the man in the next room suddenly sings JPOP. This time, the talent was just as great as the pop song.
"Japan… they sing well too."
"I don't know much about Japanese, but isn't that pronunciation really good? "It's not awkward at all, is it?"
"Ah, I guess they played some kind of promotional video in the next room."
"Eh? "No matter who hears it, it's a person singing, right?"
One thing is certain here.
"Wow, I want to hear it up close."
Whether it's a pop song or a Japanese song, women are fascinated by a man's skills. So slowly.
"Look, are you a singer?"
"I don't know, I can't see clearly."
Customers at the coin karaoke room began snooping around the room of a man with singer-level skills. The same goes for students, women, and men.
Whether you know this or not.
-♬♪
The third song began to flow in the room. This time it was a Korean song. A ballad so famous that it is considered a taboo song among men. However, the onlookers who heard this were shocked.
"Wow, if you sing this song well, it's amazing."
"Back singer, who is it? "Isn't there something you can look for by voice?"
"Good song······"
yet.
- Rumble.
A person with talent comparable to that of a singer came out of the room. Wearing a black hat and mask. He was quite tall and the fit was good. Soon, onlookers snooping around had a hunch.
That's a celebrity.
Judging from her singing skills, she is 100% a singer. Thanks to this, everyone, from students to women and men, showed a movement to approach men.
"Uh, over there-"
However, the man glanced at the onlookers and left the coin karaoke room at a very fast pace.
"ah!!"
Although some students chased after him, the man quickly disappeared down the stairs. The remaining onlookers looked at the room where the man was, a little helpless.
"It was cool, right?"
"Who is the singer? Ah, he was a singer."
"Not an idol? "The atmosphere was like that."
"Why do idols come here?"
The man who overturned the coin karaoke bar had entered an alley. He glances behind him. He doesn't chase anyone. Only at this time did the man lower his mask slightly.
No, Kang Woo-jin laughed.
"Wow, what am I really?"
I never thought it would be like this. It's been a while since I had some free time, so I went to a coin karaoke bar near my house as an experiment, and Woojin fell in love with her singing skills. The onlookers there were proof of that.
Kang Woo-jin's singing skills now are not what they used to be.
"Can't I really be a singer?"
It was no problem at all for me to become a singer.
11th, Netflix Korea.
A late morning. Hwarin got out of the van in the underground parking lot. She had her long hair tied in one line with her short sleeves so that her belly button could be seen. Perhaps because her makeup is light, the spots under her eyes stand out.
That's her.
"I'll come back-"
I said hello to Fat Director Ben Ahn. Then the director waves his hand.
"Uh oh, do well. "What should I buy?"
"I'm done. "Everyone, come and eat."
"okay!"
Soon, Hwarin turned and moved towards the elevator. Today at Netflix Korea, there was an important meeting related to 'Boyfriend'. There were several additional issues to be decided. Things like OSTs and schedules. However, it was decided to gather only core personnel without a manager team. Writers, actors, etc.
Hwarin then pressed the elevator button.
'The PD said it was decided. 'Who did you catch?'
Meanwhile, Hwarin looks down at her phone. The first thing I accessed was Kang Woo-jin's SNS.
"Oh really, I definitely have to say it today. "I'm a fan."
Next is Kang Woo-jin's fan cafe. Accessing Kang Woo-jin's SNS and fan cafe, the target of criticism, has become almost a daily routine for Hwarin.
"We will become friends. you can do it."
Hwarin has now set his sights on Seongdeok. You may not be able to say out loud that you are a fan, but you can still casually say that you are a fan and that you should get along well. Hwarin gave herself courage and raised her head.
At this time.
-Sigh.
A low-pitched male voice penetrated her with a whisper.
"hello."
Hwarin flinched slightly and turned her head. Kang Woo-jin with an indifferent face was right in front of him. In an instant, Hwarin's mind went blank. All previous resolutions disappear.
She unconsciously turned her head and looked at the elevator door.
"···Ah, hello."
"yes."
"······"
The body and mind play separately. The conversation stopped. At the same time, the elevator door opened and Kang Woo-jin and Hwarin went up side by side. Hwarin fidgeted while fiddling with her own thin bracelet.
'Ha, I'm going crazy. Why am I so nervous? Just say it. Can I just say I'm a fan? Let's calm down. You can do it.'
I consoled myself and forced my courage.
"Hey, over there."
but.
-Ding!
The elevator was in the way. Open the door on the floor you arrive at. Then, Kang Woo-jin took a step forward and asked Hwarin.
"yes?"
Hwarin also quickly followed him. Then, Woojin and Hwarin's forearms accidentally brushed against each other, and Hwarin's thoughts stopped again.
'Ugh.'
On the other hand, Woojin, who was standing in the hallway, glanced at Hwarin with a silent expression and muttered.
"Are you okay?"
"······"
Hwarin answers with difficulty.
"Woah, go to the bathroom!"
She steadily walked down the hallway with awkward movements, and Kang Woo-jin, who was looking at Hwarin's back, narrowed his eyebrows slightly.
'What, are you avoiding me? 'It's a bit absurd, isn't it?'
At this time, the thin bracelet wrapped around Hwarin's wrist fell to the floor. But she doesn't notice this and continues walking down her hallway at a fast pace. She turned back and she turned to the end of the hallway.
-Sigh.
Hwarin presses his back against the wall near the bend. It was right in front of the bathroom. Soon, Hwarin touched her heart.
'Ha, by chance, my forearm grazed at that time. My heart almost exploded. I only saw it for a moment, but it's like this...'
I cried and muttered softly to myself.
"I can't say it, ever. "If I say I'm a fan of Woojin, they'll look at me like I'm some kind of crazy bitch."
After biting her lower lip for a moment, she let out a small sigh and hurried into the bathroom. and.
"······uh-"
Kang Woo-jin was standing awkwardly behind the corner of the hallway. No, should I say it's broken? In Woojin's right hand was Hwarin's bracelet.
"huh?"
Kang Woo-jin, expressionless, closed his eyes.
"Hwarin, are you cheating on me?"
