I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 189

I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 189

(USA (4) )

3 months. Kang Woo-jin’s mother, Seo Hyun-mi, briefly remembers her childhood. Then, she focused her attention again on the large TV mounted on the wall. Woojin had already disappeared from the news, but Seo Hyun-mi, who still had kind eyes, muttered softly.

“……3 months. “Can you beat up a bad guy like that?”

Kang Woo-cheol, who had a similar face to Seo Hyun-mi, shook his head seriously.

“Do you think it will work?”

“But just now, on the news, we were wondering whether our Woojin was a monster or an idiot.”

“I saw it too.”

Soon, Seo Hyun-mi’s eyes got even bigger and she shouted loudly.

“Ho, by any chance! Was Woojin a Hapkido genius?!!”

It was a conclusion that made no sense, but Seo Hyun-mi’s brain was currently full of errors. But her husband, Kang Woo-cheol, put it right.

“Does that make sense? “It’s strange that the word Hapkido comes up here in the first place.”

“Why why??”

“Hyeonmi, it’s been decades since Woojin started attending Hapkido. At least when I was 12 or 13 years old. Plus, don’t you remember?”

“……uh?”

“Is this a parent visitation day at the Hapkido gym that Woojin goes to? At that time, Woojin was talking about Poomsae or something. All the other kids were very disciplined, but Woojin was the only one who danced in a sloppy manner. “You said it was like some kind of dance.”

“Is that so?”

“I did.”

Seo Hyun-mi, who had erased Hapkido from her mind due to her husband’s information, recalled her son’s face again.

“Then… then how on earth did Woojin catch that monster?”

At this time.

-match!

Kang Woo-cheol, who seemed to have suddenly remembered something, suddenly slapped both hands and raised his voice.

“That’s it! Actors practice martial arts and such for action scenes. I saw a documentary somewhere about action movie stars learning martial arts while vomiting blood. “Woojin also learned martial arts before filming.”

“ah.”

“You must have put in a lot of effort to catch the monster!”

It is highly likely. In the current situation, it was the most obvious reason. No, I’m not mistaken. Seo Hyun-mi also melts in quickly.

“Oh, that’s right, that’s right!”

Seo Hyun-mi suddenly burst into tears.

“Oh my gosh, how hard did this kid have to practice…”

Kang Woo-cheol’s face hardened.

“It’s to the point where it can be used in real life. It must have lasted several months. But it’s okay because my son is strong.”

“But…ah! I guess Woojin is fine, right??”

“uh. I also spoke on the phone before leaving for the US. If it had been four months, I would have let you know a long time ago. “Whether it’s his agency or Woojin.”

The real Seo Hyun-mi barely picked up her phone and stopped.

“Ah, Woojin is in America.”

He spat out his son’s praise to Kang Woo-cheol.

“But is Woojin Hwarin? You saved that child. “I’m proud of my son, after all.”

“hmm. “Our Woojin will become a hero.”

The father, Kang Woo-cheol, was also overwhelmed.

“He’s got some guts like mine.”

“H-guts?”

However, with one word from Seo Hyun-mi, it cooled down in an instant.

“What kind of guts does this guy have to avoid even seeing a stray cat in front of him?”

Meanwhile.

Around 9 o’clock in the morning. Kang Woo-jin is often mentioned in the conference room of DM Production, a new production company. No, this one was projecting Woojin’s black box video onto the front screen using a beam projector.

“……”

“……”

Ten people watching the video with fascination. Seeing that PD Song Man-woo was among them, it seemed like this meeting was related to ‘beneficial evil’. Of course, the ten people are key staff.

At this time.

“Huh-”

Producer Song Man-woo, who was watching Kang Woo-jin quickly subdue the assailant on the screen, muttered as if fascinated.

“What the hell is that…”

I pondered over the lines that the key staff members related to ‘martial arts’ had uttered during the first production meeting of ‘Beneficial Evil’. Soon he turned around and asked the staff.

“Is Mr. Woojin bad at martial arts? Are you weak? “I’m sick?”

“Oh no- that’s…wow.”

Small, elastic and dense illusions pour out between the key tabs.

“Is that video real?? How can you be so calm when a gunman with a weapon is attacking you? “Woojin is a bit…cold to begin with, but he’s an expert.”

“…Look at those hand movements. You bend and hang your leg as if you’ve been waiting. It didn’t happen by chance, I learned it. “For over several years.”

“ah! Woojin, I heard you studied abroad? “Did you learn fighting skills or something like that while you were in America?”

“Oh! “I learned it at the same time as I was learning acting??”

Producer Song Man-woo’s eyes widened as he remembered Kang Totem’s face for a moment.

‘okay. It’s possible. I taught myself such outrageous acting skills. Is there anything I can’t do, even martial arts? I don’t know the circumstances, but I started learning from the past. It doesn’t make sense otherwise.’

And then he laughed. A smile filled with illusion.

‘The acting and that crazy feeling. And language. But martial arts?? I have it all. In terms of being an actor, he has it all. domestic. No, there will be no actor in the world who can compete with Mr. Woojin.’

If there’s anything I’m missing, there’s only one thing.

‘hour. ‘It’s just a matter of time.’

Producer Song Man-woo then called out one of the key staff members who had been unable to take their eyes off Kang Woo-jin on the screen, who was sitting in the middle of his seat.

“Director Park.”

He was a martial arts director who was generally muscular.

“What does the player think of that video?”

He slowly moved his gaze and made eye contact with producer Song Man-woo. Then he answered simply with shock in his pupils.

“If you just look at the video… it looks like you’re better than me, right?”

“Is that tidy?”

“If you tell me you were in the special forces, you’ll nod your head. It’s a bit like real martial arts. Look at that. “Do you see the tension on Woojin’s face?”

“no.”

“There isn’t even the slightest worry or extraneousness in his movements. It’s a dangerous situation, so he has to show even the slightest pause, but it’s just neat. This is an attitude that ordinary people can never have. Usually, when you’re attacking or hitting an opponent, your thoughts tend to become complicated. “That slows down action.”

“Woojin, you don’t have anything like that?”

“uh. It almost feels trivial. “It’s a skill that the guards around me can’t do in the first place.”

The martial arts director, with confusion in his eyes, scratched his head as if he had difficulty understanding.

“What on earth is that guy? “Why can a first-year actor speak like that?”

“I even gave up on understanding.”

“uh? what?”

Producer Song Man-woo laughed and changed the subject.

“So, in Coach Park’s opinion, does that change the duration of martial arts practice?”

“of course. “In the first place, the three months I mentioned was when Woojin was ignorant of martial arts, and if he had that level of skill… hmm, I would have to look closely on the day of the martial arts movement test to be sure.”

“know. “Of course I’m going to watch it, but just guess and tell me.”

“If only you saw that video.”

The martial arts director was almost certain.

“I might be able to get rid of it in a month or even a few weeks.”

This meant that the production period was very short.

LA, USA.

It was around the morning of the 7th in Korea, but it was the afternoon of the 6th in LA. The location is near North Hollywood Park, on the north side of downtown Hollywood. Among them, many Koreans were seen around one of the two-story houses.

It was the ‘Our Table’ team.

The ‘Our Table’ team arrived in LA early in the morning on the 6th and went straight to their accommodation after finishing filming the surrounding scenery and introducing the food truck. This two-story house is used by the male cast of ‘Our Table’. There were also lodgings used by female cast members and staff nearby.

Anyway, I was able to find Kang Woo-jin on the second floor of the dormitory for the male cast members.

He is currently.

‘Wow, the atmosphere here is really crazy. ‘No matter how many times I take a picture, something keeps coming out.’

I was hanging from the window of my room, completely immersed in the scenery around the accommodation. Her appearance was natural, as if she had just taken a shower, and her outfit consisted of a hood and comfortable pants. It’s time for a break now.

The room Woojin was in was very spacious.

Is it the size of two Korean studio apartments? It was equipped with a bed, sofa, various furniture, and a TV. The structure is similar to Korea, but the atmosphere feels completely foreign. Whatever it was, Woojin was completely absorbed in the picture outside the window, forgetting about the concept.

‘I definitely don’t see any apartments in America. No, is it only in this area? ‘It’s all about houses like this.’

Numerous houses built in a row as if in a straight line, American-style streetlights, and a view of the city in the distance. For Woojin, who was in the United States for the first time in his life, it was natural that everything was surprising.

‘I ordered chicken at a restaurant earlier and the chicken was the size of a phoenix. To be honest, I was scared, but it was delicious.’

In getting to this point, there were a few problems with the concept. As a native Korean, it wasn’t easy to hide my surprise. Of course, I did it somehow.

soon.

-Sigh.

Kang Woo-jin stretches and moves. I had to check my phone, which I couldn’t see because I was busy organizing and taking pictures of the suitcases and bags placed around the bed.

‘While we’re at it, should we also check out the map around the accommodation?’

The more you know about it, the less likely you are to have a problem with the concept. Woojin was muttering to himself when he took out his cell phone from his bag.

“Woojin, are you sleeping??”

I heard Choi Seong-gun’s voice outside the door. Thanks to this, Woojin put down his cell phone and opened the door with a quick concept.

“No, it’s okay.”

huh? Is there something strange about the CEO’s expression? As if he could see through Kang Woo-jin’s inner thoughts, Choi Seong-geon, with a slightly serious face and ponytail, held up his cell phone.

“I couldn’t tell you because you were filming, but you were on the morning news in Korea a few hours ago. 8 o’clock public news.”

“……”

Woojin, who was barely able to maintain a blank expression, let out a scolding sound inside.

‘Eeh??!’

He asked seemingly calmly.

“…what do you mean by that?”

“Even after that morning news, Korea is in an uproar right now. “The black box video of you subduing the assailant who attacked Mr. Hwarin has spread.”

“Black box?”

crazy?? Real true? It was Kang Woo-jin who almost spit this line out of his mouth. Why is the black box video suddenly popping up? Woojin’s excitement suddenly increased, but Choi Seong-geon seemed to be radiating coldness, perhaps due to his habitual concept.

Thanks to.

“Even if everything else is the same, honestly, we can’t block things like black boxes or citizens’ cell phones.”

Woojin, who was looking at Choi Seong-geon indifferently, answered lowly.

“I guess so.”

“Let’s think positively. First, let me show you the situation. Look, the articles are pouring in. Before this situation, Hwarin’s side had attracted so much aggro that their firepower was several times higher. In addition, your video is currently ranked #1 on YouTube in real time.”

Inside I said, ‘No!!’ Seong-geon Choi, who was lowering his cell phone while Woo-jin was screaming something like this, asked.

“What should I do? The water has been turned over and we have a decision to make. Statement of position? Should I admit it or just keep quiet? But it’s better to react calmly to the fact that this has already happened.”

“I know.”

“So do the people around you… Ah, but haven’t you received any calls? “I think a lot of people came.”

You probably have a ton of messages piled up on your phone. Woojin, who thought it was just a video without having to watch it, gave up.

‘Ha-I’m going to turn. Tsk ahhh I don’t know.’

All I could do here was to tone down my voice.

“It’s better to admit it.”

“yes? But the drawing is better if you send it to the company channel rather than doing it yourself.”

“All right.”

“Okay, then we’ll make an official announcement within a few hours.”

This moment.

“Mr. Woojin! Can I go up??!”

I hear a woman’s voice from downstairs. A familiar voice. It was Hong Hye-yeon. Then Choi Seong-geon sighed.

“I guess he saw it now too. How? “Are you telling me to come up?”

“…It doesn’t matter.”

He spoke downstairs.

“Come up.”

Soon Hong Hye-yeon came up the stairs. My feet are in a hurry. The long, straight hair that was tied up was flying wildly. What’s unusual is that Hwarin is also behind her. Anyway, Hong Hye-yeon is wearing a white hood with the ‘Our Table’ logo.

“Woojin, why do I always check articles like this first??”

I stood in front of Kang Woo-jin and argued. No, it was more like whining. On the other hand, Hwarin, who had the same hood as Hong Hye-yeon, had a strange expression. With her hair curled up, she had a face somewhere between calm and smiling.

Forcing yourself to hold back something that feels good.

Because his favorite heroic story has finally been revealed. Either way, Hong Hye-yeon’s grumbling intensified.

“No, I almost blacked out after reading the article! “What are you talking about, both Hwarin and Woojin!”

Kang Woo-jin, who was desperate, responded with a slightly weakened solemnity.

“It was not my intention to reveal it.”

“ah? “Did you keep trying to hide it??”

“yes. “Until I die, if possible.”

Here, Hwarin turned her head as if she couldn’t hold back her smile, and Hong Hye-yeon, who had been looking at Woo-jin in bewilderment, suddenly turned to him and whispered.

“Everything is good, this is it. How on earth did you subdue that monster? What is that flashy martial art?”

Woojin answered simply.

“A little bit of Hapkido.”

“……what?”

Choi Seong-geon helped.

“It’s called Hapkido. “Didn’t you hear?”

“No, I heard…is it really Ha Hapkido? “That Hapkido I know?”

“Then what can it be?”

Right then.

“Woojin!! Is this real??!”

“Is Kang Woo-jin on top??!”

“It wasn’t just the chef, it was a complete hero!!”

Many shouts were heard from downstairs. These were the cries of the main members of the ‘Our Table’ team, including PD Byung-seon Yoon, writers Jong-hak Ahn, Kang-soo Ha, and Baek-gwang Yeon.

Soon Woojin, who had closed his eyes tightly so as not to be noticed, screamed inwardly.

‘Ha-I hid it because I was afraid this would happen!! ‘I wonder if it’s like this!!’

Back to Korea a few hours later around lunch.

A large black van driving on the streets of Seoul catches the eye. Inside such a van, two legends were sitting side by side. One was veteran director Ang Bok, wearing a white shirt with a suit jacket draped over his knees.

“Um-”

The man in the navy suit sitting to his right was the great actor Shim Shim-ho. Shin Shim-ho had his long gray hair tied up, but he still had the aura of a tiger, and he, like director Anga-bok, was looking at his cell phone. What’s interesting here is that these two are together and wearing similar outfits.

Why are two movie industry legends together?

In any case, of the two who looked at their cell phones, director Ahn Ga-bok was the one who opened the door first.

“The flood broke out. But – when did you learn this?”

Director Ahn Ga-bok saw Kang Woo-jin on his cell phone screen. To be exact, it was a black box video attached to the article, and Sim Jin-ho was similar, but this one was on YouTube.

“You didn’t know either?”

When asked in a deep voice, Director Gabok Ang answered with a wrinkled smile and a harsh voice.

“How do I know this? It was around here that I met that friend Kang Woo-jin. By the way…this is a rare video.”

“It’s probably beyond rare. This is something that’s hard to happen. “It is a cut that can only be made when many events and coincidences are mixed together.”

“This production came about because Woojin was prepared.”

“…What a strange friend. Even though this is a high-level martial art, strangely enough, there is no shortage of issues. “It is also an influence that cannot be had in the first year of debut.”

“But it’s happening.”

The man sitting in the passenger seat, who must have been listening to this conversation, intervened. He was the head of a film company.

“The point is that Kang Woo-jin is not in Korea right now. “Even though you’re away, you don’t feel the empty space.”

“Hehe, that’s what I heard.”

“The Hwarin incident has become so big that there is even a booster installed.”

That moment.

“Director.”

The employee who was driving opened his mouth.

“We have arrived at the hotel. All you have to do is pass this signal.”

In front, I saw a very large famous hotel. In fact, an hour later, a very large event was about to be held at that hotel. ‘Stars’ Night’ awards ceremony held by the Korean Screen Actors Association. It was an awards ceremony, but it was more like a big party held at the end of the year. It feels like enjoying a party at a banquet hall and then holding an awards ceremony at the end.

One of the more prestigious parties held at the end of the year.

Accordingly, famous directors such as director Anga Bok, influential entertainment industry officials, and many top actors such as Shin Shim-ho will also attend. It’s quite a large event.

“Ah, as expected, reporters are camped out at the entrance.”

Reporters were also lined up, and the cable broadcasting team in consultation with the Korean Screen Actors Association was also prepared. I don’t know, but actors and directors may have already arrived at the hotel’s banquet hall.

Around this time, director Ang Bok was looking closely at the dozens of reporters lined up at the hotel entrance.

“Hmm…”

I think about the ‘Stars’ Night’ party that will be held today. Then I see Kang Woo-jin on my phone again.

“Even though I left my seat, I couldn’t feel the empty seat-”

Seeing that, Simeon Ho, who was sitting on the right, calmly asked back.

“yes?”

Director Anga Bok, with a wrinkled smile on his face, began to chant.

“Shall we throw some firewood? I was planning to do it after you joined anyway, and it just so happened that you were with me. “It would be nice here since everything is set up. They’re going to be asking loud questions about ‘leeches’ anyway.”

“…Are you trying to do this?”

“okay.”

In response to Shim Shim-ho’s profound question, director Anga-bok pointed him with his index finger.

“Announcing the actor who will stand shoulder to shoulder with you.”
