I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 205
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 205
(Year-end (6))
Hwarin, wearing pajamas, glances down at the watch case on the table.
“……”
It was a brand that anyone could recognize just by looking at the logo emblazoned on the case. A watch worth over 30 million won. It is a token of gratitude to Woojin for saving him and at the same time a congratulatory gift for walking the red carpet for the first time this year. Of course, a lot of Hwarin’s virtues were also included.
However, there are too many eyes and ears in this entertainment industry.
That was what Hwarin was worried about. It doesn’t matter if you don’t make it a problem, but the media usually makes it a problem, so it becomes a problem. You can also make up words that don’t exist.
Therefore, whether it was a gift or something else, the degree was important.
30 million won. Is it too noticeable?
For a moment, Hwarin became very worried and slapped both of her cheeks as if it was no problem. The reason was simple.
‘Honestly, the first one I chose was the one worth 50 million won.’
The watch I just bought was also heavily discounted. It went down to 4000 and eventually settled at 30 million. Oh, I don’t know. Hwarin shook her head as if to erase her thoughts and muttered softly to herself.
“Just give it to me. “If Woojin says it’s a burden, I’ll take it back.”
If the media knew about it, they could spread facts without facts, but since the bizarre incident was so big, they could just gloss over it. Hwarin changed her mind, touched her long, scattered hair once, and picked up her cell phone.
‘It’s okay to keep going like this.’
It was a call to a shop she often goes to.
“Yes, teacher. Can I go around 12 o’clock today? No, not on a schedule, but privately. Yep. Yes, got it!”
After making a reasonable reservation, Hwarin threw her cell phone on the sofa and went straight to the bathroom. A few tens of minutes later, Hwarin, who had finished showering, stopped while drying her hair at the dressing table.
“Oh right.”
It was because I remembered someone I wanted to contact in advance. That’s Hong Hye-yeon. She will also be going to Cheongryong today, so she will probably have a similar schedule to Kang Woo-jin.
“If you show up suddenly, your sister will look at you strangely.”
Virtue is virtue, but it is better to avoid unnecessary suspicion. Especially Hong Hye-yeon, whom I am already very close with. Then Hwarin picked up her cell phone again and made a call.
Hong Hye-yeon answered the phone quickly.
“Yes, Hwarin.”
Hong Hye-yeon’s voice was muffled through the phone, perhaps because she was asleep. Hwarin checked the time and asked again.
“what? “Did you sleep?”
“no no. My eyes are open. “I’m drifting in a 30-minute bed the size of my body.”
“Aren’t you ready? “Blue dragon, blue dragon.”
“I have to do it. “I’m going out in two hours to check the dresses and get some skin care.”
“Would you like to have a fitting?”
“huh.”
“Woojin too?”
“huh. maybe?”
“Ah, I’m going there too.”
“uh? “To the fitting studio?”
“Yep.”
Hong Hye-yeon paused for a moment on the other side of the cell phone and then asked.
“……suddenly?”
“No, not suddenly. Why did you say something last time? clock. “I’m going to give that to Woojin today.”
“right! Did you end up buying it?”
“huh!”
“Good job. Okay, see you then.”
“Yes, yes, I understand.”
-Suddenly.
As soon as the phone was hung up, Hwarin held up the hair dryer again and smiled slightly.
“I’m looking forward to seeing you wearing a tuxedo, Woojin.”
Meanwhile.
The entertainment industry was generally shaking in Busan as the Blue Dragon Film Festival was scheduled to open this afternoon. Not only the media but also public opinion had very high expectations.
-at las!!! I didn’t have anything to watch today, but I had to watch Blue Dragon lol
– This year’s Blue Dragon was really strong lol The opening was a joke –
Looking at the articles, I heard that Kang Woo-jin won the Rookie of the Year award, so I wonder what it will be like
– Oh, Kang Woo-jin hahaha, he came from a drug dealer hahaha
– But he’s an old man at a film festival. Will they only give it to Kang Woo-jin????
– Honestly, isn’t it Blue Dragon rather than the Grand Bell Awards? LOL It’s a magazine less than Blue Dragon
– A lot of actors attended
– Was it last year? I’m so sick of Kim Bo-hye and Hong Hye-yeon
– Is it already the end of the year….. I feel like I’m turning a year older every time there’s an awards ceremony….. It’s a little bit weird –
↑ This guy suddenly says something hahahaha
– Best and worst without fail. It will be decided haha I want to see the red carpet in person
– I’m looking forward to Kang Woo-jin!! Going to a film festival right after debut is awesome!!!

Many domestic entertainment companies were busy promoting their actors.
“hey!! Why are there so few articles on our side??”
“I will immediately urge the media!”
“Kang Woo-jin, Kang Woo-jin, you can only see Kang Woo-jin!! Tell them to shoot properly! “There will be a lot of Blue Dragon knights all day today, so if you get buried, you won’t have any fun!”
“Yes, CEO! “I think Kang Woo-jin has a lot to use, so he keeps spreading it.”
“Who doesn’t know that? “Continue to contact reporters and manage the SNS of the personnel going to Cheongryong until the very last minute!!”
“I already told you to upload it!”
The film industry was also preoccupied with the Blue Dragon Film Festival. Of course, many of the actors participating in today’s Blue Dragon were also busy preparing. What car to drive, what dress and tuxedo to wear, what reaction and comment to make on the red carpet, makeup hair, etc.
Although it is a film festival held every year, it always becomes an issue.
As the attention of the entire industry and the public was focused, the year-end topicality was worthy of being desired. It would be 100 times better to be selected as a worst costume and be criticized than to be buried without any mention.
Of course, the best thing is to create positive buzz, such as winning an award.
At a time when the entire entertainment industry was going through difficult times, the people around Kang Woo-jin were also going through difficult times. Everyone who knew Kang Woo-jin, other than his classmates and design company, did the same.
Among them, Kang Hyun-ah, Kang Woo-jin’s younger sister and PEN Club president.
“ah! mom! Can’t we close the store a little early today?? “What should I do if I can’t see guests when I play Blue Dragon?”
“Normally, there aren’t many customers around that time. Ugh – you’re out of your mind. “Stay calm.”
“Mom, your hands were shaking earlier? “Mom seems to be the most nervous.”
“……Are you okay then? I heard your brother is appearing at the film festival? “Dad has been gushing over cold water since a while ago.”
I had just come down to my parents’ store for school vacation. Today, after helping at the store, we were planning to get together and watch the blue dragon. Her friends, of course. In other words, the management team of ‘Strong Heart’ were also on standby.
For your information, the ‘Strong Heart’ pen cafe has been in turmoil since a while ago.
The same was true not only for ‘Strong Heart’ but also for Kang Woo-jin’s SNS and YouTube. Blue Dragon hasn’t even started yet, but the fans’ congratulatory comments and reactions full of anticipation were going crazy.
Kang Woo-jin’s friends were just as polarizing as the fans.
-Hyeong-gu: Kang Woo-jin!! Is this guy really going to Cheongryong today??!! True???
-Kyungseong: It’s amazing, JinjjangkkkkkkkkkWoojin, I’m sorry in advance hahaha
-Hyunggu: I can’t wait to see my friend walk on the red carpet!!
-Woojin: Thank you
-Hyeonggu: Hey!! Please go to Cheongryong and share photos of the scene!!
-Daeyoung: Woojin, what time do you come to the fitting studio??
-Woojin: I think I’ll be a little later than you.
-Kyungseong: What are these two saying?
-Hyeong-gu: Anyway! Gather today!! Everyone has an intuition about Kang Woo-jin doing the red carpet
– Kyung-seong: So, are you and me the only ones left?
-Daeyoung: Me too, I’m lining up the blue dragon, and
the whole country is shaking.
Around late lunch on the same day.
The location is a fitting studio in Gangnam. A space where you can take profile photos of celebrities and check or fit outfits for various events. The studio was largely divided into two parts. One side is where photography is possible. The remaining space is specialized in fittings and has many mirrors and about a dozen chairs or simple sofas for waiting.
A celebrity’s team arrived at such a fitting room.
“I’ll set up the dresses first!!”
“What about jewelry?? “Where should I put it?”
“It’s after the dress, so put it here in the jewelry box for now!”
“yes yes!”
“The lights I brought here are here!”
“What about Hyeyeon??”
“restroom!”
It was the team of top actress Hong Hye-yeon. So, of course, Kim Dae-young, who is big and bulky, is also busy moving around. Meanwhile, Hong Hye-yeon, wearing a duffel coat and bare face, entered the fitting room. It looks like you go to the shop after setting up your dress.
Then, she sat down on the sofa in front of the large mirror, as if she was used to it.
“Uh-huh – the labor has begun. It’s the beginning.”
Since she had already experienced the film festival several times, it was natural that she felt relaxed. Soon Hong Hye-yeon swept her long straight hair and took off her coat. I asked Daeyoung Kim, who was touching the lighting at the same time.
“Daeyoung, where is it? shoes.”
The sturdy Kim Dae-young answered right away.
“yes? iced coffee! That? wait a minute.”
Daeyoung Kim took a box of luxury shoes from the entrance to the fitting room where luggage was piled up and handed it to Hyeyeon Hong.
“Here you go. But is that really expensive?”
“huh? no? “It’s not that expensive.”
Kim Dae-young, who was watching Hong Hye-yeon answer casually, muttered to himself.
‘It’s not expensive. Even if you just look at it, it’s probably over a few hundred.’
Hyeyeon Hong got up from the sofa as if she was about to start something. She checks several dresses hanging next to the front mirror. The colors are diverse. Light red, bright beige, dark gray, etc. The designs of the dresses are also different. Of course, these were all dresses that Hong Hye-yeon would wear.
It was at this time.
-Sigh.
“Uh- everyone is here??”
Choi Seong-geon with pigtails entered the fitting studio. A familiar group followed behind them. Han Ye-jeong, stylist, and Jang Soo-hwan. It was Kang Woo-jin’s team. While greetings were exchanged for a moment, a man with an indifferent face wearing a moderately long padding appeared.
“Hello-”
He greeted in a low voice. It was Kang Woo-jin. Woojin was actually amazed at the fitting room he had visited for the first time.
‘Oh – there was a place like this??’
On the surface, the cynicalness was amplified in an insignificant manner. Because there were a lot of people. Anyway, Kang Woo-jin was also looking natural before going to the shop, and after exchanging glances with Kim Dae-young, he calmly greeted Hong Hye-yeon, who was standing in front of the set dress.
“hello.”
Hong Hye-yeon, smiling slightly, waves her hand.
“Yes, you came? “What about filming?”
“Well done.”
“Aren’t you upset? Filming in the morning and Cheongryong at night – CEO? If this continues, Woojin will die.”
Choi Seong-gun, who was talking with the staff, shrugged his shoulders.
“There’s nothing I can do because the departure from ‘Island of the Missing’ took a long time. By the way, are you ready? So let’s get started right away. “I don’t have time.”
“Ah, wait a minute.”
He walked over to the sofa where Hong Hye-yeon, who had blocked the proceedings, was on, and picked up the box of shoes he had packed.
“Mr. Woojin.”
The shoe box was delivered to Kang Woo-jin, who was taking off his long padding.
“This is a commemorative gift.”
Woojin calmly asks.
“What is it?”
“Shoes. I’m just thankful for this and that, and we belong to the same company, so why stay still? Congratulations on entering your first film festival. “It’s not really expensive, so you can take it.”
Choi Seong-geon, laughing, joins in.
“It’s not expensive. “If you just do a search, that’s exactly what comes up.”
“brother! No, CEO. “Mouth, please.”
On the other hand, Woojin, who was quietly looking down at the shoe box, accepted it with a rather calm feeling.
“I’ll wear them well.”
“ah! huh! “You can really just wear them.”
“Yes, I will just wear them.”
“…Don’t be too harsh. Moderately.”
“I’ll wear them in a moderate amount.”
“Leave it comfortably.”
Of course, Kang Woo-jin was not surprised.
‘Wow, these luxury brands must be expensive?? ‘This to me?’
But the one who is confused here is Hasu. I had to act solemnly and indifferently. And there’s no need to refuse something if they give it to you, right? Gifts are always welcome. After Kang Woo-jin briefly organized his thoughts, the fitting began with Hong Hye-yeon.
The first is a light red dress.
Next, Hong Hye-yeon and some of the staff went into the dressing room next to the mirror, and Kim Dae-young joined Kang Woo-jin, who was preparing for the next turn.
“Kang Woojin? How are you feeling right now?”
Woojin exchanged glances with him.
‘Shut up, I feel like I’m going to throw up.’
He answered in a heartless tone.
“so-so.”
Daeyoung Kim, who was suppressing laughter, gave a thumbs up.
“As expected, it’s still the same.”
This beefy bastard. It was when Woojin gave his friend an intense look telling him to go away.
– Sweet.
The dressing room opened and Hong Hye-yeon came out wearing a dress. It had a design that slightly exposed both shoulders and chest, and Hong Hye-yeon’s long straight hair fell naturally over it. The waist area was a little narrow, but since it was Hong Hye-yeon, she pulled it off perfectly.
She smiled leisurely and posed.
“how is it?”
The fastest reaction was Daeyoung Kim. He whispered so that only Woojin could hear.
“Wow, crazy.”
Kang Woo-jin also expressed admiration. Of course, inside.
‘The dog is pretty. Wow – I can’t believe I’m seeing this right in front of my eyes.’
But I needed to suppress my admiration a little bit now. Well, there’s no need to lie. Kang Woo-jin said, lowering his voice.
“You look good on me.”
“is it so? really?”
Hong Hye-yeon, whose smile deepened, received rave reviews from dozens of staff members, including Choi Seong-gun. It wasn’t polite. In fact, Hong Hye-yeon was shining right now. Even raw. Whatever it was, Hong Hye-yeon, who was extremely upset, immediately bought the next dress and re-entered the dressing room.
In the end, I chose the first of the four dresses, a light red dress.
Now it’s next time.
“Oh! Woojin, change into navy clothes first and come out. Suhwan helps me.”
It was Kang Woo-jin. My first experience with a tuxedo that I thought I would never wear again. Woojin went into the locker room, reflecting on his rating in his mind. He slowly puts on his pants and shirt. What Woojin first felt was simple.
‘oh? ‘It’s perfect, right?’
And outside the locker room, anticipation was rampant.
“What about Woojin?”
“What are you talking about? “My brother’s original fit is crazy.”
“But there are actors who usually like clothes, but strangely don’t like tuxedos.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
While the stylists were chatting, the door to the fitting studio suddenly opened and a woman wearing a hat came in.
“Huh-there are a lot of people? hello.”
Hwarin was wearing brown short padding, and among the slightly surprised staff, Hong Hye-yeon motioned for Hwarin to come here.
“Hwarin! Why are you so late? “I’m done wearing dresses!”
Hwarin, who had just greeted Choi Seong-gun, smiled awkwardly as she turned to Hong Hye-yeon.
“Sorry sorry. “It was a little hard to find here.”
Soon Hong Hye-yeon raised her eyebrows as she took a look at the green paper bag in her hand.
“Is that it?”
“huh? Ah, yes. But what about Woojin?”
“fitting room.”
That moment.
– Sweet.
The locker room door opened and Kang Woo-jin came out wearing a navy tuxedo. The shoes were black shoes that Hong Hye-yeon gave as a gift, and the top and bottom were navy-colored tuxedos with a vest. Kang Woo-jin’s fit is so perfect that you wonder if it’s tailored.
The unique thing is that it is not a bow tie, which is commonly called a bow tie, but a ribbon tie made of fairly wide string.
Next, it was time to move around and adjust the tuxedo jacket Woojin was wearing. Hwa-rin, who had just arrived at the fitting room and was looking at Kang Woo-jin as if possessed, muttered to herself without realizing it.
“Well… it’s so cool.”
Hong Hye-yeon, right next to me, asked back.
“uh? what?”
That time. Incheon.
‘Plaza’, the very large hall of ‘Paradise S City’, a very large resort hotel. In a very spacious hall decorated to look like it was an awards ceremony, about 100 people were running around in different places. Final stage of preparation. A majestic title was displayed on the large stage screen in front.
-[2020 41st Blue Dragon Film Festival]
One of the staff members shouted as he crossed the numerous seats.
“Who is putting actors’ names on the chairs here?!” “I have to make sure nothing is missing!!”
The names of the country’s top actors were engraved on the seats.
“yes? Did you check everything?!”
“Just checking! Then why isn’t it here and here??”
The chair the staff had just passed had a familiar name on it.
-[Kang Woo-jin]
