booster? Unlike PD Yoon Byeong-seon, who spoke comfortably, the main writer had a slightly worried look in his eyes.
"Ah... But some of the cast, including Woojin, have been confirmed, but isn't it a bit early?"
For reference, there are rumors that HTBS PD Yoon Byung-seon's new entertainment show is in production, but no clear confirmation has been announced yet. However, since PD Yoon Byung-seon is a big name in the entertainment industry, there was a lot of speculation among the media about the actors who would appear.
Anyway, Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who pushed up his glasses, looked at the main writer and shrugged his shoulders.
"Of course it would be a bit rude to shoot right now. There is also a distraction. But isn't it a bit of a waste to miss this timing? Will Kang Woo-jin star in director Kwon Ki-taek's next film? Even just looking at it, it's obvious that it's going to be extremely noisy."
This answer was given by a male assistant director.
"Well, we had no idea that Woojin was in director Kwon Ki-taek's next film."
"okay. Since this is an issue that suddenly broke out, we need to make some changes to our promotional plan. Even if the same goes for the other contestants, Woojin can throw it a little faster, right?"
"Let's explode a bomb with a 1+1 feel?"
"uh."
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who answered briefly, looked down at his phone again and continued.
"The funny thing about this issue is, everyone knows that issues are volatile, right? So it's important to keep it connected for as long as possible. Instead, if you go into a combo and link up, your life expectancy increases explosively through pruning."
"If there is one issue, it just stops there, but if several issues come together, they start to spread together."
"Director Kwon Ki-taek's next film, Kang Woo-jin and even us. "Since there are already some Woojin issues, it will be even more outrageous."
"In the end, it's a win-win for the movie, Woojin, and us all."
Clearly, PD Yoon Byung-seon's influence in the entertainment industry was enormous. I didn't know, but it was certain that the scale of the game would grow. Next, PD Yoon Byung-seon adjusts his glasses.
"If you leave it out too much, it gets soggy and doesn't burn well, so you have to have good timing. "First of all, let's watch Woojin's popularity rise due to director Kwon Ki-taek's issue for a few days, and if we feel like it's enough, let's take the lid off Woojin first."
"How much do you watch?"
"Well, I guess it'll take one or two or three days. In the meantime, you guys will report to the show department about the performers being coordinated, and I will contact CEO Choi Seong-geon."
As soon as the instructions were given, the writers and junior producers all took out their cell phones and typed something, and the main writer, who finished taking notes on his cell phone, opened his mouth, recalling Kang Woo-jin.
"But isn't Kang Woo-jin really interesting? There are many issues, but it seems like everything is centered around the entertainment industry right now, right? Dramas, movies, and even entertainment. "I'm a rookie."
"A rookie who wants to become a rookie must always have a unique flow and momentum. Does it smell strange? "Like Woojin."
"It's much more than just feeling like I'm doing well... Anyway, this is the first time I've seen something like this since I started working as a broadcast writer."
Producer Byung-seon Yoon's face, with his arms crossed, was filled with interest.
"Well, me too. That means Woojin is taking an unprecedented path."
backwards.
Throughout the 11th, articles were popping up all over the Internet every second. What could it be?
『[Movie IS] Kang Woo-jin of 'Healing Bureau' and 'Hallyang' is cast in director Kwon Ki-taek's new film... whopping lead role』
It was Kang Woo-jin's first starring movie news. The moment this enormous nuclear warhead hit her entertainment industry, the media rushed in with a gasp.
『A shocking casting that goes beyond the unprecedented. Master Kwon Ki-taek has selected Kang Woo-jin as the lead in his next film!』
Therefore, all the gossip related to Kang Woo-jin, such as bullshit and nonsense that has been increasing in size for the past few days, was included. It was worth it. It was not a proper director's film, but the next film by director Kwon Ki-taek, one of Korea's top masters, and he was even cast as the lead from the beginning, rather than in a minor or supporting role.
It was also disappointing to say that it was unusual.
Of course, this is a first for director Kwon Ki-taek, and the same applies to the film industry. In addition, Kang Woo-jin is the only one that director Kwon Ki-taek has officially announced. In other words, he was thinking something quite special.
『[Star Talk] A starring role in director Kwon Ki-taek's film just a few months after its appearance? Rookie Kang Woo-jin's Crazy Moves/Photos』
The media and public opinion were madly curious about the story of Kang Woo-jin and director Kwon Ki-taek. The more this happens, the bigger the issue snowball becomes. Therefore, this nuclear bomb, which exploded late this morning, had spread to almost all areas by the afternoon.
In particular, social media and various communities were in an uproar.
At the same time, BW Entertainment's official website and Kang Woo-jin's pen cafe also strongly fanned the flames. This large piece of rice cake was quickly transported. The overall momentum was like a furnace.
-You're gone??? Directed by Kwon Ki-taek, he is filming a movie right after the explosion of Korean food???? yes????
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠHa...I want to see you soon...I can't wait....
-Have you ever been like this? Kang Woo-jin is really fucking solid lol.

- I'm so excited haha. My classmate who graduated with me is starring in one of the country's greatest films..... Let's just sit still and wonder where the graduation album was?

From hand to hand or mouth to mouth. Truly a blast. Because no one expected it, it comes with quite a big shock.
"Hey, I heard Kang Woo-jin got the lead role in Director Ki-taek Kwon's next film??!"
"Eh? What does that mean? "He's not even a minor director. What kind of leading role did you get in director Kwon Ki-taek's work?"
"no! Facts, facts! Look at this!"
The eyes of entertainment industry officials from various film companies and production companies widened. People who already knew this news, other than PD Song Man-woo and Hong Hye-yeon, just laughed, but Hwarin, 'Drug Dealer', and Netflix were shocked. No, it was like that in all the works that Kang Woo-jin worked on.
『A lot of free publicity thanks to Kang Woo-jin, a sensational newcomer in 'Drug Dealer' and 'Male Friend'』
Among them, there was a person who was so furious that his face exploded. It was the representative of Bulldog Seo Seo-seop.
"Fuck!! Hey, are you sure about this?! Kang Woo-jin, that bastard is starring in Director Kwon's work? "It doesn't make sense!!"
"······I think it's confirmed. "The first article originally came from Director Ki-taek Kwon."
"You mean it's official??"
"That is confirmed."
"No, I mean, what kind of sick situation is this?!"
Representative Seo Seo-seop saw it with his own eyes, but could not accept the reality. Anyway, director Kwon Ki-taek's distributor is.
『[Exclusive] 'Kang Woo-jin' selected as lead role, director Kwon Ki-taek's next film title is 'Island of the Missing'』
They even announced the movie title, as if they were slowly unwrapping a present. Thanks to this, Kang Woo-jin, director Kwon Ki-taek, and 'Island of the Missing' all appeared as one set in the articles pouring in from around night.
The size of the rough waves grew several times.
but.
'hmm-'
Kang Woo-jin, the protagonist of this whole storm, who was amazed at the current situation from lunch to night, was thinking about something completely different on his way home from work.
'What should I call the test tomorrow? Still, is it better to be familiar?'
For some reason, I was paying attention to song selection.
The next day, the morning of the 12th.
The location was a suite in a large hotel in Seoul. You can hear Japanese in a room so large that your mouth will drop just by looking at it. There are a total of 3 people. Among them, the two people sitting facing each other on the sofa were familiar faces.
It was director Kyotaro and writer Akari.
They are both drinking morning tea and listening to a briefing about today's schedule. The person explaining was an agency employee.
"The director and writer will both complete their morning schedules separately and then rejoin us after lunch."
Director Kyotaro, full of gray hair, nodded.
"What time do you leave?"
"It's called outdoor location shooting. The location is in Incheon and it takes approximately 2 hours. "You can leave right after lunch."
"Um, I understand."
"I've already discussed it with the on-site director, so I think you can check while filming and leave quietly. "The number of staff to accompany us has been reduced to a minimum."
The scene the agency employee was talking about was the movie 'Drug Dealer'. It had already been discussed with Choi Seong-gun, but Kang Woo-jin didn't know. Anyway, the staff member who had been giving a detailed briefing for several minutes left the suite.
at the same time.
-Sigh.
Writer Akari, who was taking off his glasses, smiled slightly as he looked at director Kyotaro across from him.
"You know Director Kwon Ki-taek, right?"
"Sure. He's a great director. "We became friends at the Venice International Film Festival a few years ago."
"The actor you mentioned is said to be joining director Kwon Ki-taek's next film? "There was a lot of noise yesterday about that story."
"Yes, I heard that too. "I also saw the articles."
Director Kotaro muttered and lowered the teacup he was holding.
"I thought I was finally seeing the light."
"Are you okay? "I was wondering if there was a setback in the plan."
"Nothing changes. "It would have been nice to have met him sooner, but I still need actor Kang Woo-jin."
Director Kyotaro, who gave a definitive answer, slightly changed his words after looking at writer Akari.
"Of course, if the writer is against it, we should think again."
"I told you at the last meeting, I agree with joining Korean actors."
"But when you said you wanted to see him in person, didn't you mean to see his form?"
"Because the director praised me so much, I was curious and wondered what kind of role I would be suitable for. Have you decided what role to give to actor Kang Woo-jin?"
Director Kyotaro shook his head.
"Not yet. But I have a role in mind. Oh, of course, I would like to see him and hear the author's opinion. We will reflect this as much as possible. "The original author's eyes will be the most accurate."
Author Akari, smiling, got up from the sofa and looked at the time.
"Of course, I'll tell you the person that immediately comes to mind when I see it. "Whether it's a minor role or a leading role."
Meanwhile, at the same time.
A recording studio near Netflix Korea. This was a studio connected to Netflix. Inside, there were a variety of instruments, including long waiting sofas and guitars, and the scale was large, complete with a control space and a recording booth in the front.
The 'male friends' team gathered in such a studio.
Chubby general director Kim So-hyang, several Netflix employees, director Shin Dong-chun, writer Choi Nana, Kang Woo-jin's team, and even Hwarin's team. At first glance, there are fifteen people. It's noisy with a lot of conversation going on. Naturally, most of the topics were about directors Kang Woo-jin and Kwon Ki-taek. Huge congratulations have already poured in on Woojin.
Kang Woo-jin and Hwarin are sitting side by side in the center of the sofa.
Woojin put his hat on tightly. Because the next schedule is the second filming of 'Drug Dealer', there is no need to stop by the shop. On the other hand, Hwarin, who was staring blankly into the empty front booth, had full makeup on. Probably the next schedule time is near.
The two don't really have any conversation.
"······"
"······"
Kang Woo-jin had a solemn expression, and Hwa-rin also had a somewhat haughty expression. In response, General Director Kim So-hyang, who was talking with Director Shin Dong-chun, whispered.
"I think you two are still a little awkward. "We need to become friends little by little."
"It may be more so because Mr. Woojin is somewhat quiet. "Once filming begins, I have to coordinate well."
Hwa-rin, who was preoccupied with Kang Woo-jin sitting right next to her, talked a lot in her mind.
'Should I ask if you've had breakfast? Ah, does this seem a little strange? But Woojin, what kind of perfume are you using? It smells so good...'
At this time.
"Hwarin."
Suddenly, Kang Woo-jin, who was looking at his cell phone, asked Hwarin lowly.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Hwarin, who flinched, spoke gibberish out of shock.
"yes? Oh, I won't eat it. "No, I guess I ate it."
"okay."
"Woo-jin."
"I didn't eat."
"······ah."
Simple conversation. This is where Hwarin's fan spirit exploded.
'I should have brought a sandwich in the car! Should I go and come back? 'It's okay to just give it as a colleague, right?'
but.
-Rat!
Her movements stopped as the studio's thick door opened. Because the producer who will handle today's work has arrived.
"Sorry - this was a long call. "Let's proceed right away."
A producer with nearly half-shaved hair sat in the center of the editing machine. Then, General Director Kim So-hyang made eye contact with Kang Woo-jin and Hwarin and said.
"There is no need to overdo it since the test is just a matter of adjusting the tone."
As Kim So-hyang said earlier, the current recording was to confirm Woojin and Hwarin's voice chemistry. It will be helpful in selecting the OST songs you are collecting. The solo song was a solo song, but the duet song was more important. A test to select the perfect song that matches the harmony of the two voices.
Well, the justification is this, but the most important thing is.
"Uh, the whole country knows Hwarin's skills, so shall we do it later and start with Woojin first?"
It was a verification of Kang Woo-jin's singing skills. It's not adequate, and OST work is involved, so clear confirmation is essential. Whatever happened to her, Kang Woo-jin calmly moved on with her while everyone was watching.
The destination is inside the recording booth.
"······"
- Rumble.
Kang Woo-jin silently entered the booth and slowly looked inside. There was little to see. A few sound equipment, a microphone and headphones. Woojin continued to console himself because it was his first time entering the booth.
'Coin karaoke. Yes, you can think of it as a coin karaoke room. Ha-ssi, but I feel a little embarrassed when everyone is looking at me.'
Meanwhile, the people watching Woojin through the window as he inspected the inside of the booth had different feelings. Kim So-hyang had been praying ever since.
'Please, please just go above average. No, it's okay if it's slightly below.'
Hwarin's emotions came alive and her heart was pounding.
'Woojin's song?! This is precious! What do you think? Huh - I want to tell this to the fan cafe.'
And director Shin Dong-chun and writer Choi Na-na look half worried and half excited. Naturally, the look of worry is stronger. Pigtail-haired Choi Seong-geon was having a small conversation with Hwarin's fat manager.
"CEO. "Do you sing, Kang Woo-jin?"
"well. He says he does it in moderation. "Because the 'moderately' that friend is talking about is not always in moderation."
"Ah, if you come from an acting background, you should really do it in moderation. What do you mean, if you go to karaoke with your friends, you can have fun?"
"hmm. I can't even imagine having fun. "I might not have even been to a karaoke bar."
"yes?"
Choi Seong-geon responded with a faint smile to the manager who foolishly asked the question. He then turned his gaze to Kang Woo-jin in the booth and crossed his arms.
'I don't think I'll be good at singing. Well, since the level of perception between the general public and experts is different, it's probably only in moderation. That's probably enough.'
at that time.
"Ah, Mr. Woojin, can you hear me?"
The producer sitting in the center of the device spoke to Kang Woo-jin, who was wearing headphones, and Woo-jin's answer echoed throughout the studio.
"Yes, I can hear you."
"I will play the song as you said, but you can read the lyrics on your phone."
"yes."
"Okay then, shall I go?"
-Sigh.
As the producer operated the device, a gentle prelude was played. Ballade. It seemed like a song that would be suitable for winter, and it was also a famous song. Everyone whispers as if they know each other.
"Ah- this song."
"The song is good. But isn't this a bit difficult?"
"I think you're overdoing it."
"Shhhh. "Let's listen."
At that moment, Kang Woo-jin in the booth opened his mouth as he looked at the lyrics on his phone.
-♬♪
First verse. A song that starts in a low tone. The sound is soft, but the voice is a bit rough. The funny thing is.
"Huh?"
"······?"
"and-"
"W-what is it?"
As soon as they heard Kang Woo-jin's song, everyone in the studio's mouths opened wide. even.
"Crazy..."
Hwarin covered her mouth with both hands. Kang Woo-jin, who did not know this, suddenly raises his voice a little. Because he's approaching Sabi. His emotions and facial expressions gradually become more intense. trance.
-♬♪
Thanks to this, everyone falls in love with his songs. The blank expression on his face was proof. At that time, General Director Kim So-hyang came to his senses and turned his body backwards. The eyes are dilated and widened. Soon, she asked as if fascinated by Choi Seong-gun, who also had her mouth open.
"Kang Woo-jin...were you active as a singer?"
All eyes were on him. Seonggeon Choi answered with difficulty.
"No, that can't be-"
I started to get confused. Kang Woo-jin's singing ability, his singing skills.
-♬♪
Because it was so absurd that it made me crazy.
"······No, is that right?"
