I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 192

I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 192

(USA (7))

A declaration by veteran coach Anga Bok. The name Kang Woo-jin came out of his mouth. A rough yet old voice. As soon as the short, clear voice spread, the dozen or so big figures around him froze like ice. Because I couldn’t contain my surprise.

“……”

“……”

Famous directors including director Kim Do-hee, actors other than Jin Jae-jun, media editors, reporters, etc. Everyone looks blankly at director Anga Bok, who has a relaxed smile.

On the other hand.

“hmm? “Why are you doing this?”

Director Gabok Ang’s smile deepened. Of course, Shin Shim-ho, standing next to him, also has an expression that is nothing special. Currently, these two were the only ones in this banquet hall who were fine. At this point, Director Anga Bok, who had taken a sip of wine, opened his wrinkled mouth again.

“I asked you to tell me, but why are you all so shocked?”

Director Kim Do-hee, who barely came to his senses, roughly brushed his crumbly hair and asked with widened eyes.

“Director Ga. “The remaining actor who was just confirmed is Kang Woo-jin.”

“that’s right.”

“So, the person who was cast alongside Shim Shim-ho in ‘Leech,’ the director’s 100th work…is that Kang Woo-jin? Also featured in my ‘Drug Dealer.’”

“Are there two Kang Woo-jin in the current cast?”

“no. “That’s not it.”

I definitely heard it, but it was hard to believe. It was Kang Woo-jin who shook the country with the twist of the Hwarin incident. But suddenly you’re starring in director Ang Ga-bok’s film?

How did that come about in the first place?

Thanks to this, actors such as Director Kim Do-hee and Jin Jae-jun still showed their support, but reporters and editors-in-chief of media companies looked the other way and quietly walked away.

‘Wow, is that fun? The question of why director Ga-bok Ang caught Woo-jin Kang will come later. You have to throw it as fast as possible.’

‘Kang Woo-jin? crazy. This kid is truly a star. ‘Why does an issue pop up every week?’

‘Shim Shim-ho, a history expert, and Kang Woo-jin, a freshman who is rewriting history in the present. I can’t stand this strange line-up.’

The reporters took out their cell phones and manipulated something, and other than the editor-in-chief of ‘Power Patch’, the rest were busy making calls somewhere.

“Oh, it’s me. Just put the title in my words and start with the article. “There is no need for content.”

“It’s a scoop. It’s a scoop. Don’t ask questions, just write it down. And publish the article as quickly as possible. Seup! “Don’t ask questions.”

Director Anga Bok, looking at the backs of these characters, slowly nods his head. Because it was the picture I wanted. And then he whispered to the gray-haired long-haired man sitting next to him.

“The fire has started properly.”

“…It was burning well originally and the firewood was very high quality.”

Behind, the murmur grew louder throughout the banquet hall. Because everyone has figured out the situation. Whether you are far away or close, Director Ang Bok’s words are naturally contagious. The voice gradually gets louder. Sometimes shouts are also heard.

“What?!?! really??!”

“Kang Woo-jin?! “You just said that??!”

Many people are surprised but take out their cell phones. Because the bomb dropped at this banquet hall had to be delivered outside. The biggest reaction was from the actors who gathered around.

Various emotions are mixed in their eyes.

“I can’t believe… that it’s Kang Woo-jin.”

“What then? “Kang Woo-jin, he’s competing for Cannes in only his first year?”

“It’s so unexpected, isn’t it? “Is Kang Woo-jin’s schedule possible?”

“H-that’s ridiculous.”

“Senior Shim Han-ho and Kang Woo-jin together?? “What is that!”

What stood out the most was jealousy and envy. The moment when intense desire turns into passion. At this time, Jin Jae-jun, who was close to director Ahn Ga-bok, opened his mouth with difficulty.

“Director. “Is there a reason why you chose Woojin?”

Director Angabok, who had all his attention, answered indifferently.

“I’m not particularly interested in Cannes.”

Exactly 15 minutes after this.

Just 15 minutes later, the bomb that exploded in the banquet hall was revealed to the world.

『[Breaking News] Director Ahn Ga-bok, who attended ‘Night of the Stars’, said, “The two actors confirmed to be cast in ‘Leech’ are Shin Shim-ho and Kang Woo-jin.”』 It was a time when

Kang Woo-jin’s heroic story was still boiling over.

A few hours later in LA, USA.

Unlike Korea, where the 8th began, the morning of the 7th was just dawning in LA. The time is around 9 o’clock. This is where the ‘Our Table’ team’s lodgings are located near North Hollywood Park. Among the accommodations crowded with many staff members, the particularly crowded place was the house used by the male cast members.

The reason was simple.

After arriving in LA, the ‘Our Table’ team began filming in earnest. No, the filming started right around the time we left Korea, but the real filming for the theme of ‘Our Table’ started now. Meanwhile, outside the dormitory, the cast’s staff and the production team of ‘Our Table’ were spread out here and there.

The only thing that is unique is that.

“really??! Wow, I didn’t realize I was waking up right now!”

“Uh oh, completely facts. Director Gabok Ang said it himself. “Look it up, Korea has turned upside down!”

“It’s early morning in Korea right now??”

“Where is day and night for reporters?!”

“You’re crazy – what did Woojin say?”

“I don’t know, I haven’t met you yet.”

It’s very bustling. The same goes for the dozens of staff members and cast members of ‘Our Table’. Everyone is so busy talking about Kang Woo-jin that they can’t stop talking.

“I heard that director Gabok Ang personally made the announcement at the ‘Night of the Stars’ after-party?”

“Uh oh, there was even actor Shim Shim-ho next to me.”

“Huh – before the black box video issue even cooled down…”

“As soon as the cast gathered together, PD Yoon said it wasn’t a joke?”

“I saw that too. Has Ha Kang-soo’s eyes rolled over?”

“To begin with, many of the members of ‘Our Table’ are actors. “Everyone should be shocked.”

“I never thought that Kang Woo-jin would be added to Director Shin Shim-ho’s lineup. “This is a truly major incident.”

Director Ang Bok’s bombshell had already spread to this point. In fact, it was early in the morning, a few hours before the news first broke, and the reaction back then was several times more extreme than it is now. It’s pretty quiet now. Nevertheless, the talk about Kang Woo-jin never stops.

“But what is Woojin’s schedule?? A lot of work has already been done. “Director Kwon lives in Japan.”

“I don’t know, how would you have guessed it? Anyway, all the predictions were wrong. Wow – look at this, the company group chat room is going to explode.”

“We added the great actor Sim Shim-ho and first-year actor Kang Woo-jin, but it doesn’t make sense for them to be quiet.”

Around this time, Choi Seong-geon has pigtails.

“Oh no, you can’t enter right away. “Let’s heat it up a little.”

I was busy walking down the street and talking on the phone. Because the phone calls will be non-stop. The heads of each cast are sticking around him.

You might be curious.

So where is Kang Woo-jin?

He was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor of the male cast’s dormitory. No, the entire cast of ‘Our Table’ has gathered here. Ahn Jong-hak is on the single sofa, Hwarin and Hong Hye-yeon are on the three-person sofa, and Ha Kang-soo and Yeon Baek-gwang are on the remaining long sofa.

Woojin, wearing a hat, was in a more solemn state today than usual.

“……”

Of course, that was what others saw, but inside I was just feeling extremely tired.

‘Ah, I’m so tired. I guess I’ll have to go into sub-space a little bit and come out.’

Because we had already experienced a rough typhoon. Before the heroic story that had unintentionally exploded could cool down, the ‘leech’ incident struck this place. Thanks to that, I had to field a barrage of questions from all the cast members of ‘Our Table’ as well as producer Byung-seon Yoon and the writers.

‘Woojin!! Is this really true??!’

‘What kind of nuclear bombs explode in quick succession like this!!’

‘Are you really filming a movie, Director Gabok Ang?!!’

‘Why did you hide something like this?? Woojin, are you really going to Cannes?!’

Roughly over an hour.

Producer Byung-seon Yoon was almost dancing on his shoulders. The response was especially strong because most of the cast of ‘Our Table’ were actors. Ahn Jong-hak and Ha Kang-su’s endless curiosity, Hwarin’s hidden envy, and youngest member Yeon Baek-gwang’s high-tension praise. Surprisingly, Hong Hye-yeon did not have a big reaction. It felt as if I had noticed it to some extent.

The situation here is the same, so what will happen when I return to Korea? Woojin, who had seen the Internet situation in Korea for a little while, felt burdened.

So what can we do? You have to think that something that was going to happen anyway happened a little quickly.

‘Well, I can’t avoid it, so I enjoy it. ‘That spirit grandfather burst out so suddenly.’

Contact with people around me was also a problem. Especially my younger sister Kang Hyun-ah and her friends. It was a disaster in one way or another, but somehow the ‘Our Table’ team calmed down.

Because I have to film.

In any case, numerous mini-cams were placed around the sofa where Kang Woo-jin sat, and cameras were placed everywhere. There are dozens of PD Yoon Byung-seon and staff around him. Anyway, the appearance of the cast of ‘Our Table’ was quite natural. Everyone, including Kang Woo-jin, who wore a hat, was dressed comfortably, and Hwarin and Hong Hye-yeon’s makeup was light.

They were now in the process of selecting the menu.

Tomorrow, we have to start business in earnest using the food truck waiting outside. In other words, after buying all the ingredients for today, we had to plan the movements of the participants.

At this time, Ahn Jong-hak, wearing a baseball cap sitting on a single-person sofa, opened the water.

“First of all, we need to finalize the menu, right? Have you thought about the kitchen team? “What do you think about the leader?”

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Kang Woo-jin, who remained silent at the question posed. Woojin answered calmly. Because there was already a predetermined answer thanks to the chef’s imprinted knowledge.

“For food trucks, the speed of food delivery is important. There is no need for a lot of menus, I think two would be appropriate.”

“2. which?”

“Rice and noodles. Both can be primed.”

“What did the chef think?”

“I think a non-spicy version of bulgogi rice bowl and Kimja Ban Makguksu would be fine.”

An Jong-hak immediately raised his hand.

“I agree-”

Hong Hye-yeon and Hwarin joined in, and in the end, everyone agreed. No opinions are expressed. Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who was watching from outside the angle, laughed and joined in.

“Why are we having a meeting if you’re going to organize it so quickly?”

An Jong-hak waved his hand as if he was annoyed.

“If the hero chef makes a decision, I, the owner of Baji, must follow it. “What, is PD Yoon dissatisfied with the menu?”

“It can’t be. “It’s just right.”

“okay. Then, you can start making a list of ingredients, and the movement line is – let’s see… Since it’s a food truck anyway, wouldn’t it be enough to have 4 people in the kitchen and 2 people serving?”

This time too, the answer was immediate. Chef Kang Woo-jin will be assisted by Hwarin Yeon Baek-gwang, including Hong Hye-yeon, and An Jong-hak and the tall, tall Ha Kang-su will be in charge of the exterior.

Here, Ha Kang-soo, wearing a hood, expressed his opinion.

“Anything to drink?”

You can immediately hear Kang Woo-jin’s low tone.

“It’s best to eliminate anything other than coffee in the beginning. “Conversations over something to drink can be long and turnover can be slow.”

“Oh, I see.”

“First, we give them just water and get a sense of their mood.”

An Jong-hak and Ha Kang-soo give a thumbs up.

“K-Of course, Hero Chef, director Gabok Ang’s man. “I feel reassured.”

“Director Gabok Ang fell in love with this charm.”

Hong Hye-yeon, with her long straight hair, also helped out.

“After all, not everyone can become a hero.”

Hwarin glances at Woojin and is praising him inwardly.

‘That lukewarm charisma is really a killer?!’

Teasing under the guise of high praise. Either way, Kang Woo-jin was recalling the ‘chef’s recipe’ without anyone knowing.

“We will split into two groups: one group that purchases ingredients and another group that prepares the ingredients at the dorm.”

“yep! Leader!”

It was to divert attention.

The next day, around lunchtime, near North Hollywood Park.

Many foreigners were walking in the large park. A woman jogging wearing headphones, a man having fun with his dog, a couple lying in the grass reading a book, etc. A scenery you only see in movies. There were quite a few people, but because the park was so large, it didn’t feel too crowded.

Among them, an elderly American couple walking on the sidewalk in the park stands out.

They both had gray hair and walked slowly through the park holding hands. Among the elderly couple walking and talking, the grandmother noticed something on the shoulder of the road ahead. She opens her mouth right away. Of course, English is spoken.

“You haven’t seen that food truck?”

As she spoke in a soft tone, the grandfather’s gaze also turned forward. The elderly couple always passed by the park at this time, so they were able to spot the food truck at a glance, which was not usually there. A food truck with red and blue colors overall.

A mixture of English and Korean was hung on the top of the truck.

-‘KOREAN FOOD’ -The

grandmother smiled after checking the

‘Our Table’ sign.

“It looks like a food truck selling Korean food.”

“It seems so. “What are you selling?”

“Shall we eat there?”

“He said he wanted tacos. And the last time you ate tteokbokki, you even shed tears?”

“Can’t I just ask for it to be not spicy this time? You can eat tacos any time. “Because it’s next to your restaurant.”

“hmm.”

“It will be a memorable meal. “If you’re going to eat it anyway, isn’t special food better?”

Grandfather also nodded to grandmother’s persuasion.

“Okay, if you try it instead and it doesn’t taste good, you have to tell me right away.”

“of course.”

So the old couple moved to a food truck selling Korean food. Looking up close, it was clear that all the employees looked Korean.

“Oh really, they’re all Korean. But…it’s all nice and beautiful?”

“Right. “Koreans have really good skin and look young, so it’s hard to guess their age.”

It was at this time.

-Sigh.

As the elderly couple neared the food truck, several women approached them and asked questions in English.

“Hey, are you going to use this food truck?”

The answer was given by grandfather.

“Right, why? Are you ready yet?”

“no. That’s not true, in fact, this food truck is a Korean TV show. “If you use it, you will appear on the show, so I am asking for your consent.”

The grandmother with a kind smile gave her consent.

“Are you happy? We don’t care.”

“Thank you, then you can use it comfortably.”

Soon the women walked away and the grandmother smiled as if it was amazing.

“It’s a Korean TV show.”

“Does that mean that all working people are celebrities?”

“I guess so.”

“It will be hard to expect the taste of the food.”

Soon, the elderly couple arrived at a place with six tables, and a Korean man in front of a food truck approached them. It was Ahn Jong-hak, the owner of Baji, with his hair neatly slicked back, wearing a navy uniform with the ‘Our Table’ logo on it.

“Hello, you two are my first customers.”

An Jong-hak’s English skills were quite fluent. Although it wasn’t as bad as Kang Woo-jin’s, there was no problem with communication, and the grandfather asked An Jong-hak, who guided the elderly couple to the central table.

“I heard it was a TV program. What is the topic?”

“We are promoting Korean food overseas.”

“So, you and I are both celebrities?”

“you’re right.”

“That’s great.”

“Thank you, here is the menu. There are two menus that can currently be prepared. “Can you explain?”

“please.”

Soon, An Jong-hak explained the bulgogi rice bowl and Kimjaban makguksu that were on the menu. The grandmother, who was quietly listening to the explanation, smiled and asked.

“Is the bulgogi rice bowl spicy?”

“Not really.”

“Then what about bulgogi rice bowl for me and you?”

My grandfather took a picture of the noodle dish on the menu.

“this. Gwimjwaban…”

“It’s called Kimjaban Makguksu.”

“Well, please give me that.”

“all right.”

Ahn Jong-hak, who gentlemanly retrieved the menu, shouted to the people inside the food truck as he walked away from the elderly couple. It was Korean.

“One bulgogi! One half of Kimja!”

Among the elderly couples who were looking at him like that, the grandmother spoke up.

“I think Korean has a beautiful tone.”

The grandfather was looking at the cameras and production crew visible around him.

“Hmm – if it’s a TV show, does that mean the chef who cooks the food is also an actor?”

“Does it look like that person inside the food truck over there?”

Soon, the grandfather follows the grandmother’s gesture and checks the inside of the food truck. I see about 4 men and women. Among them, a young man who has just started cooking stands out. A cynical atmosphere with a deep impression. He wore a hood on his head.

The grandfather saw his appearance and was convinced.

“That chef must also be an actor.”

“Yes, you look handsome.”

“Should I have eaten tacos after all? “The food on these shows is not tasty.”

“But seeing the chef move, it looks like he learned a lot.”

“Obviously… seeing him wearing a bandana or mask shows that he paid attention to hygiene, and seeing how he handles the wok, it looks like he practiced hard. But after all, my main job is being an actor.”

“You are so picky. If you are a chef, you should have many different experiences and taste different foods.”

“I’ve already tasted a lot of Korean food. Have you ever tried red pepper paste? “It’s delicious, so I’m researching it so I can use it in my restaurant.”

It was like that. In fact, this grandfather was a chef who ran a restaurant. The location is close to here.

It was then.

-Sure.

This time, a tall man, not An Jong-hak, approached the elderly couple. It was falling water.

“The food is here.”

Although their English was slightly awkward, the old couple greeted them casually and welcomed the food they ordered. An Jong-hak then appears and explains how to eat food. After that explanation, the two men leave and the elderly couple, an elderly woman, rubs the steaming bulgogi rice bowl with a spoon.

“It smells good. “What about you?”

The grandfather looked down at the Kimjaban Makguksu in front of him and said.

“The soup is brown, and the noodles too. The smell is nutty and not bad. It’s similar to Japanese ramen. But it’s definitely different and I feel a bit repulsed. “This black thing floating in the soup is seaweed?”

“Try it.”

The white-haired old man, who was a little dissatisfied, lifted his spoon and gently scooped up the soup. And then I carefully put it in my mouth.

“……”

His expression hardens. No, what should I say, an ambiguous face. The grandfather ate the soup again without saying a word. Once, twice, three times. Then he took the whole bowl and took a big sip. At that sight, the grandmother who was flipping the bulgogi rice bowl opened her eyes wide, and the grandfather quietly looked down at Kimjaban’s makguksu and lifted his fork.

He rolls up noodles and puts them in his mouth along with the soup.

They didn’t know it, but at this moment, all of the ‘Our Table’ team cameras distributed around the food truck were filming the elderly couple.

Soon, the grandmother who was making the bulgogi rice bowl asked the grandfather.

“How do those brown noodles taste?”

The old man stopped holding the fork and started to chew on the noodles, but his expression was still firm. He slowly raised his head.

“We were wrong.”

“hmm? “Why isn’t it delicious?”

I told my grandmother. Waves were crashing in my grandfather’s blue eyes.

“The man who made the dish is not an actor, he is a real chef.”
