I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 188
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 188
(USA (3))
On a plane heading to LA International Airport.
This plane, which departed from Incheon Airport, was in the sky for about two hours and was scheduled to take about 11 hours to arrive at LA International Airport. What’s unusual is that there are a lot of broadcasting teams and celebrity staff on this plane.
It was the ‘Our Table’ team.
There were dozens of them alone, but with the cast and staff included, the scale was considerable. Among them were the cast of ‘Our Table’ and Kang Woo-jin, who had an indifferent face, was looking out the window. It looked calm at first glance, but my heart was full of joy.
‘There are a lot of clouds. Wow, this is a minister.’
Feeling like a child going on a picnic. Woojin, a native Korean, could not believe that he was going to the United States. Clearly, a spectacular view that I could not have imagined when I worked at a design company earlier this year is unfolding before my eyes.
even.
‘I can’t believe I’m filming a variety show in America.’
The purpose is not to go sightseeing on vacation, but to film as a guest on a program produced by PD Yoon Byeong-seon, a big name in the entertainment industry. On the plane, Woojin once again realized that life was like a mess.
At this time.
“Mr. Woojin.”
On the right, Hong Hye-yeon, with long, straight hair, looked at Woo-jin’s side profile and spoke to him.
“Why are you bruised like that? Are you lost in memories?”
For reference, the performers’ seats on the plane were seated by team. The kitchen team is Kang Woo-jin and Hong Hye-yeon, Hwarin, and An Jong-hak, who plays the role of president Ha Kang-soo, and the youngest member, Yeon Baek-gwang. Anyway, Woojin, who was looking out the window, turned his head to Hong Hye-yeon’s question.
memory? What memories.
It was my first time on a plane to the United States, so there was no way I could have any memories. Then, Kang Woo-jin suddenly remembered the illusions he had made. What about those who studied abroad? The part that is already heavily covered. But Woojin found it annoying to make memories of an America that didn’t even exist. The answer here is vague. And it adds a little bravado.
The voice naturally becomes clearer.
“no. “Just think about the work.”
Hong Hye-yeon laughs absurdly and bows her head.
“In the middle of this? “I know you’re a hard-working genius, but let’s take a break.”
“I do it while resting.”
Not outside, but in subspace.
“when? I don’t think I saw it? “When I was filming ‘Island of the Missing’ in Da Nang, I noticed that even during breaks, you just kept looking at the script?”
So, I entered subspace at that time.
“I rested when you weren’t looking.”
“You’re funny. I keep looking at Woojin…no, not that much! Anyway, think about something else.”
Hong Hye-yeon suddenly changes the subject.
“Are you okay with jet lag? “Does it matter that it’s not my first time in America?”
Jet lag? The time difference between LA and Korea is a whopping 16 hours. Still, it’ll be okay. Because he has subspace.
Right then.
“Y-you guys?”
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who had been talking with the writers earlier, raised his glasses and stood up from his seat. It looks like he has something to say to the contestants.
“These days, the trend is not to use airplane moving shots, but I installed mini cameras around you just in case. “Let’s talk for a while and then go to sleep.”
An Jong-hak, who pushed his hair back, grumbled.
“If you’re not using it, why not just take it out?”
“Ah, I can’t waste even a single shot when I’m taking these people with me.”
“Squeeze, squeeze. So, can you tell me the destination soon?”
“Yes, yes, but I wanted to tell you that.”
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who was laughing, spoke to the cast, including Woo-jin Kang.
“Did I tell you that I would be going with a food truck for the first two days? The location is North Hallius Park. There’s a food truck street there. “I have chosen an accommodation nearby, and when I arrive at LA International Airport, I plan to first check out the food trucks and then move to my accommodation.”
Kang Woo-jin’s heartbeat is slowly getting faster.
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who had no idea about this, introduced a suitable schedule.
“When I arrive at LA International Airport, it will be early in the morning and I will have to adjust to the time difference, so I will take it easy on the first day. Instead, we will film a food truck introduction, accommodation introduction, and a tour around the accommodation. I already got the insert. The real deal starts on the second day.”
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who was explaining, asked Ahn Jong-hak, who had his arms crossed.
“So, leader? “What should we do from the beginning on the second day?”
An Jong-hak shrugged his shoulders and answered indifferently.
“Why am I the leader?”
“You said your brother is the boss?”
“Boji boss, Baji boss. “The concept is simple, but of course chef Woojin should be the leader.”
“Then what do you do, brother?”
“If you go to any restaurant in America, the chef is the god.”
“Is it okay if I take instructions from my junior? “With Woojin’s personality, I don’t think he would give orders while distinguishing between seniors and juniors, right?”
“What do you think? “Actually, being in the position of receiving instructions is the most comfortable.”
“My true feelings have come out. “I want to be comfortable.”
“You’re the boss of pants?”
Soon, small laughter spread among the staff. Then, Ahn Jong-hak craned his head forward and focused his gaze on Kang Woo-jin.
“So, Woojin, please start giving instructions.”
Suddenly, everyone’s eyes on the plane were focused on the silent Kang Woo-jin. suddenly? Normally, this would be a point of embarrassment, but Kang Woo-jin inadvertently brought up the ‘chef’s recipe’. Then, a good answer came out in an instant.
“After deciding on the menu, you have to select and purchase the ingredients.”
Producer Byung-seon Yoon clapped both hands as if it was a wise answer.
“As expected, leader! By the way, are you going to do all the menu items selected by the food truck? “Chef?”
“It must be difficult. The space will be narrow and the movement lines will be tight. Two simple items are sufficient.”
“2! The chef can decide on the menu that is OK. You can buy ingredients according to the set menu. “Woojin will have to take the lead once we arrive in LA.”
At this moment, Kang Woo-jin was not a new actor. It was like chef Kang Woo-jin.
Dozens of hours passed like that.
“now! “Let’s move!!”
The cast of ‘Our Table’ and Kang Woo-jin came out to the departure hall. A vast airport unfolds in an instant. Although it was morning, the airport was very crowded, and the sight that unfolded before Kang Woo-jin’s eyes was a shock itself.
‘Wow – awesome… no, wow!’
It was amazing to see so many different races mixed together, but the number of people who looked like Americans was incredibly large. Either sideways or up. Looking around at them, Kang Woo-jin felt like a hobbit.
‘That black man who just passed by! ‘Your fist is as big as my head??!’
Woojin starts to get excited inside. It was safe to say that this was not a different country, but a different planet. Someone slapped Woojin on the back as he stopped.
“What are you doing, standing still?”
Thanks to this, Woojin suddenly came to his senses and managed to utter a low voice.
“N-no.”
But the excitement inside did not subside.
‘crazy! Where are you? Is it the same Earth??’
Kang Woo-jin and the ‘Our Table’ team arrived in LA.
Meanwhile, Korea.
It was early morning in the United States, but late at night in Korea. Roughly around 11 o’clock. Korea was still troubled by various issues. In particular, the Hwarin attack incident was a constant topic in many domestic communities. Into this, unsourced rumors, rumors, nonsense, and bullshit were mixed in, and the snowball continued to roll.
Of course, the news of ‘Our Table’ arriving in the United States was also frequently seen in articles. At this very time, a post was posted in one of the largest domestic communities.
-Edgy, super, awesome)) (Hwarin Awl Attack Incident) This was filmed right in front of my car’s black box (not aggro). Just by
looking at the avi title, it was clear what it was about. Because it was a very hot issue and a large community, the number of views quickly exceeded 300. More than half of them must have clicked because they thought they were being fooled. This is because false posts called ‘fishing’ were frequently posted.
However, about 30 minutes later, when the number of views on the post exceeded 1,000.
-uh? What? Is this real indie??
The comments on the post began to explode.
-Wow, I thought it was a composite, but why is this??????
In other words, it was proof that it was not aggro.
A day later, around 8 o’clock in the morning.
The location is Jinju, Gyeongnam. A porridge restaurant near the terminal. It was a familiar place. Because it was the store run by Kang Woo-jin’s parents. There are no customers inside the porridge restaurant yet. It was because it was opening time.
On the other hand, Woojin’s two parents were busy.
My father, Kang Woo-cheol, and my mother, Seo Hyun-mi, were wiping down the table in the hall. What’s unusual is that the interior of the bamboo restaurant has been changed, and the appliances in the kitchen and the air conditioner in the hall have been replaced with new ones.
The reason was simple.
Everything was done by my son, Kang Woo-jin.
In addition, the number of Woojin posters hung inside the bamboo shop has increased significantly. Magazine pictorial, advertisement poster, ‘drug dealer’ poster, ‘boyfriend’ still cut, etc. It seems that Kang Woo-jin’s fans also come often. There were so many Polaroid photos of them hanging on one side of the wall.
It feels like it has become a bit of a tourist attraction.
Whatever it is.
-Sigh.
Seo Hyun-mi, who was in the middle of wiping the table, suddenly picked up a thin booklet from the counter. It was an advertisement book for an automobile brand containing several new cars, and Kang Woo-cheol, with a deep expression on his face, sighed as he saw his wife taking a seat near the counter.
“Are you seeing that again?”
“My son said he would replace our car, so we have to choose the right one.”
“I picked it yesterday.”
“When I wake up in the morning, I feel like the car I had yesterday wasn’t that good.”
“It’s been several days now. “It took over two weeks just to choose.”
“What do you think! “I do that because I like it.”
“If I like it twice, I will memorize the names of all the cars.”
“I already memorized it.”
Seo Hyun-mi, who answered briefly, looked down at the advertisement book again, and Kang Woo-cheol sat down next to her, as if telling her to do as she pleased. And then I picked up the remote control placed on the counter. Turn on the large TV hanging on the front wall. The TV was also replaced with a new one by Kang Woo-jin this time.
soon.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-cheol, who was yawning, changed the channel like he was used to. The place he stopped was a public broadcasting channel. Due to the timing, it was obvious that the morning news would be broadcast. Kang Woo-cheol always watched the news while opening a store, so the couple’s current situation is no different from usual.
That’s why Seo Hyun-mi and Kang Woo-cheol looked the same as yesterday.
but.
[“Next news. A few days ago, we reported on the attack on singer and actress Hwarin. In relation to that, a new fact was revealed yesterday.”]
Behind the news anchor’s comment on TV, a tidal wave hit Seo Hyun-mi and Kang Woo-cheol’s seemingly identical daily lives.
[“It was confirmed that it was actor Kang Woo-jin, not her bodyguard, who subdued the strange stalker who attacked Hwarin with an awl. The source was a community site? A citizen who parked his car at the scene at the time released the black box video. It was an instant for Kang Woo-jin to subdue the assailant. Reporter Ko Min-hee.”]
At that moment, Kang Woo-cheol’s eyes widened as he held the remote control.
“uh? what?”
My mouth slowly opened.
Naturally, Seo Hyun-mi, who was sitting next to him, also reacted strongly. I threw away the advertisement book I was looking at and jumped up.
“What??! What is my son doing??! honey! “Woojin’s name was just on the news!!”
“……Oh, I heard that too.”
Anyway, the news on TV had already started changing scenes. The anchor had disappeared, and what anyone could see was a black box video was being output. It shows the video posted on the community as is.
At the beginning, Hwarin and Kang Woojin come out to the parking lot, and at the same time, a reporter’s voice is heard.
[“Mr. Hwarin and Mr. Woojin Kang enter the parking lot while having a brief conversation. At this time, a gunman with an awl appears.”]
In the video, Kang Woo-jin protects Hwa-rin and subdues the approaching gunman in a matter of seconds. The skill and courage he showed in that short moment was extraordinary.
[“Kang Woo-jin, who protected Hwarin by sending her to his back, grabs the gunman’s arm first, bends the arm in a manner reminiscent of a movie scene, and then trips the gunman and knocks him to the floor. It is a close call, but Mr. Kang Woo-jin remains calm.”]
The news repeatedly shows several cuts of Kang Woo-jin subduing the assailant. And then we moved on to the scene where Woojin takes the awl from the trapped gunman.
[“After subduing the gunman, Kang Woo-jin takes the awl, a weapon, from him and hands it over to his employees. Soon the bodyguards join in and the gunman is completely captured.”]
As far as the situation after that.
[“As you can see, it was Kang Woo-jin who saved Hwarin, but there is speculation that what is not known is that Kang Woo-jin took steps to prevent it from being revealed to the outside world.”] Next, the news shows the community where the black box
video was uploaded.
[“The comments from netizens who saw this video have already exceeded hundreds. “I thought I was watching a movie, the subduing technique was unusual, it was synthetic or CG, and it was cooler to hide such a heroic story.”] Soon, the news started reporting other news, but Kang Woo-cheol and Seo Hyun-mi froze
. I’m just staring blankly at the TV. Of the two, it was Seo Hyun-mi who opened her mouth first.
“Is that our Woojin??”
“…That’s right.”
“Shooting… I guess it’s filming?”
“It’s not.”
After hearing the answer, Seo Hyun-mi turned her head and made eye contact with Kang Woo-cheol. Both of their pupils were very dilated.
“…How long did Woojin attend Hapkido when he was young?”
Kang Woo-cheol, who recalled Kang Woo-jin from a long time ago, gave a short answer.
“3 months.”
