I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 208
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 208
(End of year (9))
After the Blue Dragon Film Festival ended, the people were divided into two categories. The team that went to the after-party prepared by the film festival at the resort hotel restaurant and the team that did not go.
Those going went straight to a restaurant close to the hall.
On the other hand, the team that did not go to the after-party moved towards the red carpet laid out in front of the hall. There were many vans and vans busily transporting actors who had completed their schedules. Hundreds of reporters lined up around the fence, pressing their camera shutters like crazy, as if they had been waiting for just this moment.
-Pabababak!!
Of course, there were still many onlookers. Internet broadcasters or YouTubers who come out for fan content shouting out the names of actors they love, etc. Meanwhile, interviews with today’s award-winning actors were in full swing at the red carpet photo zone close to the hall.
“Jin Jae-jun! “You won the Best Actor award today. Did you expect it??!”
“no. “Not at all.”
“How was your collaboration with Kang Woo-jin in ‘Drug Dealer’?”
“It was impressive. So memorable.”
It was a photo zone that many people had already passed through. Actually, it’s up to actors whether to do an interview or not, but most of them do it if they can. Each of these things is directly connected to the next day’s publicity and increases the scale of the ripple effect. It also helps with the image.
On the other hand, it is the reporters’ choice to put sincerity into their articles.
What’s funny is that reporters who are currently interviewing several actors keep glancing at the entrance to the hall. Because my mind was in the bean field. We were waiting for the true issue king of today’s Blue Dragon Film Festival.
‘What about Kang Woo-jin???’
‘When will Kang Woo-jin come out?’
‘Did he escape through another door?’
It’s Kang Woo-jin.
Super Rookie, who won the Rookie Award and Popular Star Award at Korea’s largest film festival just one year after his debut. But today’s reporters were targeting Woojin for a different reason. It was because of Woojin’s extraordinary impressions and appearance at the Blue Dragon Film Festival.
At this time.
“Kang Woojin!! Woojin!! interview! “An interview!!”
The reporters who spotted Kang Woo-jin in a tuxedo leaving went crazy. It’s like a hungry animal. Everyone shouted Woojin’s name over and over again.
On the other hand, Woojin, the person of interest, was calm.
“……”
After silently looking at the reporters crowded into the photo zone for a moment, he slowly approaches. Actually, there wouldn’t be any problem if we just passed by, but there was something that Choi Seong-geon asked us to take seriously. After the film festival, please be interviewed at least briefly.
Therefore, even though Kang Woo-jin was busy with the concept and atmosphere.
‘Wow, you’re so dazzling.’
I stood in front of half-mad reporters. Thanks to that, other actors passing by started whispering and casting glances. It’s not a good look. Either way, these overheated hyenas. No, the reporters’ shouts poured out on Kang Woo-jin.
“You won two gold medals at Blue Dragon!! How do you feel!!”
“I thought the expression on your face when you went to receive the award was just like that! “Did you expect it?!”
“Aren’t you nervous today?!!”
“What were your thoughts on accepting the award?!!”
Oh, my ears hurt. Woojin, who had a cynical face, wondered if the reporters in front of him were crazy. Still, his mindset was 180 degrees different from when he first entered the film festival.
Feeling a little more comfortable?
Thanks to this, my field of view is wide. It was only at this time that the world around the red carpet came into Woojin’s eyes. A large tree was erected behind the spitting reporters.
‘It’s big-’
It wasn’t just the tree. The Blue Dragon Film Festival must have put a lot of effort into it, so colorful light bulbs were hung on nearby trees. Christmas in two days. And at the end of the year. For some reason, Woojin’s eyes moved slowly as if in slow motion.
You can see the lights of tightly packed apartments quite far away.
Are the people who live there looking around here? Ah – what was I doing around this time last year? Yes, I wrapped up the year by telling my friends to pour and drink. At that time, Woojin would watch film festivals and award ceremonies on TV and say that it was a different world. It was just something to talk about as a snack with friends.
But now I am standing in that world.
Gorgeous and luxurious. Hundreds of reporters are flashing their lights, and behind their backs are a lot of top actors. They even pretend to know Woojin.
1 year. A mysterious period of time, whether long or short.
Anyway, today Kang Woo-jin is standing here.
‘What a life-’
Before coming to this world, Woojin lived a repetitive life. Coming to work and leaving work. But it wasn’t enough. I just think it repeats itself because the mind has adapted to life and has become dull.
It was a life well worth living.
Even back then, Kang Woo-jin was a man who knew his subject well. But now, his one word has become the subject of articles by hundreds of reporters. It becomes a title.
“Your acceptance speech was unique!! “Did you prepare the comment yourself?!!!”
“It sounded like a declaration of war! “Did you just do it as showmanship??!!”
Kang Woo-jin was a strange feeling, but he deepened the concept with the mindset of enjoying something that had already been lost. This kind of illusion or misunderstanding is minor. Soon, Kang Woo-jin chanted softly to the crowd of reporters.
“No, I meant it.”
backwards.
By the time the camera flash hit Kang Woo-jin like an explosion of lightning, a large man had joined Woo-jin. It was Jang Su-hwan who received instructions from Choi Seong-geon.
“iced coffee! sorry! We have our next schedule!! “Brother, let’s go.”
“uh.”
Jang Soo-hwan, who quickly covered Woojin’s profile, increased the speed of his steps. Reporters followed suit, and Kang Woo-jin managed to get into the waiting van. Stylists are invisible.
-Drur!
As soon as Woojin got in, Jang Soo-hwan, who got into the driver’s seat, stepped on the accelerator. The van leaves as is. As we gradually moved away from the red carpet, the pony-haired man sitting in the passenger seat turned his body backwards. It was Choi Seong-gun.
“Ha- Woojin.”
He, wearing a suit for the first time in a while, looks at Woojin in a tuxedo and lets out a long sigh. The expression was ambiguous. It’s hard to tell whether he’s smiling or depressed.
“Did something happen again?”
Oh sorry. That’s a moderate amount of ambition. Although he apologized on the inside, Woojin’s poker face was calm on the outside.
“That’s what I wanted to say.”
“I know, I know. But the actor who won the Rookie Award suddenly declared war that he would win the Best Actor Award next year…”
Jang Soo-hwan, who was driving, joined in with a cool smile.
“ha ha ha! As expected, Brother Woojin!! “You gave an impression that will go down in the history of the Korean entertainment industry!”
“Look in front of you, dude.”
“yep!”
Choi Seong-geon, who was scratching his tail, let out a small breath again.
“Hehe, well, it’s true. Winning two awards at Blue Dragon in the first year of his debut is also the first time for an actor to declare war in front of hundreds of top actors that he will receive the Best Actor award next year. I feel like this is just like you – you know? “The entertainment industry is a jungle and there will be many actors and officials who look at you unfavorably?”
Well, how come? I already did it. Woojin answered casually.
“I don’t care.”
Suddenly, Choi Seong-geon laughed.
“Okay, okay. But maybe because it’s you, it’s thrilling and fun.”
Jang Su-hwan is involved again.
“I’m seriously tickled!! And the declaration of war you expressed today is 100% possible, right?!”
“I know. “You look ahead.”
Choi Seong-geon raised his thumb and made eye contact with Woojin.
“Your declaration of war is thrilling because it’s not just crazy bravado. How about getting some harsh words from you? “It’s not good if the entertainment industry is too dull.”
“Is that so?”
“okay. “Noise marketing was really successful.”
Choi Seong-geon soon looks at his cell phone.
“Whether it’s swearing or anything else, you’re probably going to suck up all the issues.”
A hot article that just appeared appears on the phone screen.
“Anyway, let’s go all the way through the end of this year with that concept.”
In fact, the power of Kang Woo-jin’s declaration of war was truly enormous.
『Kang Woo-jin, who won two awards at the Blue Dragon, declared in his acceptance speech that he would win the leading actor award next year』 『
[Star Talk] ‘Kang Woo-jin’ warned in front of senior top actors who said he had turned the Blue Dragon Film Festival upside down』
Even though the Blue Dragon Film Festival had just ended, articles were already being published. It was natural. For a party of this size, there are separate people on site and at the desk.
『[Photo] Kang Woo-jin calmly approaches the stage as if he had expected to receive the ‘Rookie of the Year Award’ / Photo』
Kang Woo-jin’s name appears in every article.

『[Issue] When asked if his acceptance speech was showmanship, Kang Woo-jin answered without hesitation, “It was sincere”』 The
earthquake of this unprecedented event, which no other actor in the history of the Korean entertainment industry had ever experienced, was by no means small.
Since it came from the mouth of Kang Woo-jin, who was already the king of issues, the impact was multiplied. Of course, this does not mean that other actors, such as Jin Jae-jun, who won the Best Actor award, were mentioned.
『[Blue Dragon Film Festival] This year’s Best Actor Award goes to Jin Jae-jun of ‘Drug Dealer’』
As expected, reporters were intoxicated by the stimulation of chewing, tearing, and tasting.
『“Jin Jae-jun is nervous” 1st year freshman Kang Woo-jin brings tension to the seniors』
Whether it is conveying news of Kang Woo-jin, criticizing him, or non-existent gossip, Woo-jin’s articles are endlessly derived. It went beyond the 23rd, when the Blue Dragon Film Festival was held, and became even more violent by the early morning of the 24th.
And the morning of the 24th, Christmas Eve, was the peak.
The article was spread all over the place throughout the early morning, and public opinion and various media outlets that confirmed it supported it. It started with radio.
“Did you see the Blue Dragon Film Festival yesterday?? Oh, you made it really big? “It was fun to look at.”
“That’s right, it’s in the Christmas mood. But of course Kang Woo-jin’s acceptance speech was a hit, right?”
“Hahaha, I know, I know. “As soon as I saw it, I thought, ‘Oh, that’s going to be a hot topic tomorrow.’”
“It’s really crazy. Woojin, you’re such an amazing actor, right? “Not only that you won two awards at the Blue Dragon Book as soon as you debuted, but you are always a hot topic.”
It also appeared on the morning news of three public broadcasting stations. The news covered the entire Blue Dragon Film Festival, and Kang Woo-jin’s bold comments were inserted between the anchor’s comments.
The firepower becomes extreme.
From morning to lunch, the Blue Dragon Film Festival was broadcast on various video platforms, including YouTube. Whether it is an official video posted by the film festival or an edited version uploaded by numerous YouTubers.

Shock, surprise, and swearing abound. The public’s reaction was sharply divided. This was the same on Woojin’s SNS and YouTube channel, ‘Kang Woojin Alt.’
But on the contrary.
『’Bombshell’ Kang Woo-jin’s fans rapidly increased on SNS and YouTube channels in just one day』 The
number of subscribers and followers suddenly exploded. This situation was maintained throughout the 24th, and on the 25th, Christmas Day, Kang Woo-jin’s name could be heard anywhere offline.
Broadcasters, of course.
“Does Kang Woo-jin really have a backstory?? “If you are so great, how great must you be that you do something like this?”
“Iknow, right. What do you do if you’re good at acting? “It’s not polite.”
“They are installing it with the trust of Director Kwon Ki-taek or Director Ahn Ga-bok.”
“I guess it’ll be worth watching if it breaks down like that.”
This was also said in the mouths of many people outside of cafes.
“Did you see Kang Woo-jin explode the bomb??”
“uh. “He really seems a bit crazy.”
“No, but it really seems like a bit of a jerk. But doesn’t that make you really like me again?”
“what. “I just don’t like it.”
“You’re confident, a rookie isn’t like a rookie. “Something sucks me in.”
Clearly, the number of malicious comments has increased compared to before. But even more than that, Kang Woo-jin’s power became greater.
『[Issue Talk] Whether positive or negative, the popularity of super rookie ‘Kang Woo-jin’ is skyrocketing!』
Even though the Blue Dragon Film Festival has only ended.
On the afternoon of the 26th. A famous cultural center in Seoul.
3 days since the Blue Dragon Film Festival ended. However, a similar red carpet procession was taking place here.
“Eunjeong!! “Please shake your hand!!”
Although the scale is slightly smaller than Blue Dragon, there are enough reporters and many actors can be seen wearing tuxedos or dresses. What’s unique is that actors who weren’t seen in Blue Dragon are also quite noticeable.
A large billboard was installed in front of the place where they entered, and a proud title was emblazoned on the billboard.
-’56th Grand Bell Awards’ The
Grand Bell Awards, one of Korea’s third largest film festivals after the Blue Dragon, was held here today. And the reporters filming the procession of actors were all saying similar things.
“Ah, when is Kang Woo-jin coming?”
“It’s not like he’s not coming, right? “The agency cut it.”
“Oh, that can’t be possible. I got some criticism, but it was such a hot topic. “Choi Dae-pyo is not an asshole, so you’re going to stop that?”
“but. But at the Grand Bell Awards, Kang Woo-jin was nominated for two awards, right? “If you win the prize today, are you going to declare war again?”
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
It was then.
“ah!! Kang Woo-jin is here!! Woojin!! “Please leave a comment!!”
Kang Woo-jin arrived at the Grand Bell Awards Film Festival. Second film festival. But Woojin wearing a navy tuxedo.
“……”
He just gave a proper greeting and did not say anything to the hundreds of reporters.
Then a few tens of minutes later.
Like the Blue Dragon where the Grand Bell Awards Film Festival was held, Kang Woo-jin’s name rang out in the large hall of the cultural center filled with many actors.
“The 56th Grand Bell Awards Film Festival Best New Actor Award! Kang Woo-jin from ‘Drug Dealer’! Congratulations!!”
This was the third trophy given to Woojin at the Grand Bell Awards, following the Blue Dragon. Kang Woo-jin’s acceptance speech this time was also unusual.
“Thank you. Next year, we will produce results that will put the current controversies to rest.”
But this wasn’t the end. After several award categories, Kang Woo-jin’s name was called again in the second part of the Grand Bell Awards.
“New Wave Award! Wow- this person is really causing trouble this year! Kang Woo-jin!!”
It was a 4-time winner.
