I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 235
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 235
(Tsunami (2))
In fact, it was only a few days ago that Kang Woo-jin’s piano performance was posted online in Japan. A Friday at the end of January. In other words, it was the night that Kang Woo-jin played the piano at the hotel restaurant.
The place where the video was first uploaded was YouTube.
That video was all that started, but the atmosphere changed the next day.
In Japan, the search volume for the name ‘Kang Woo-jin’ is already very high, and the number of Japanese people who watched the video began to gradually increase. At the same time, the number of videos uploaded to YouTube also increased. There were some copy-pasted videos from the beginning, but there were also new videos uploaded by people who had actually experienced Kang Woo-jin’s performance.
-The man playing the piano is Kang Woo-jin?
-Is Kang Woo-jin the Korean actor? Why is that actor playing the piano over there?
Interest gradually grew.
-The video is a bit dark so I can’t tell the face, but www I think it’s Kang Woo-
jin -Eeeee!! That’s amazing…you play the piano so well??
-Where is the restaurant?
-According to the description, it’s Kashihi Tokyo Hotel! He’s playing my favorite song!! love you!!
-Korean actors usually learn things like playing the piano??? If you look at Kang Woo-jin’s YouTube channel, he’s good at singing and cooking, right? There’s nothing this actor can’t do
– Wow… I’m jealous of the people who were at this restaurant… Seeing Kang Woo-jin… and even hearing him play the piano right in front of me…
– Isn’t this video manipulation? Is this really Kang Woo-jin?
-Edgy, edgy, edgy!!! cool!!!
I don’t know if it would have been quiet if it had ended here. But the flow continued. Following YouTube, it has expanded to Japanese SNS. It mainly focused on the SNS that the Japanese public uses most, such as Twitter and Instagram.
Here, the topic exploded exponentially.
People who were actually at the restaurant, people who watched the video on YouTube, people who searched for Kang Woo-jin out of curiosity, etc. Regardless of the topic, sharing increased steeply. The sharing continued and grew endlessly as I wrote down my thoughts about the shared post.
It was only two days. What started as a moderate wave turned into the size of a tsunami.
As a result, Kang Woo-jin took over the ‘real-time trend ranking’ of Japan’s No. 1 SNS that Chairman Hideki is currently watching.
[1.#Kang Woo-jin playing piano]
[2.#Carousel of Life Kang Woo-jin]

[5.#Kang Woojin]
[6.#Kang Woojin Piano]
Among the top 10, there were only 4 related to Kang Woojin. This rank was similar to the Korean real sword. This atmosphere was even the same on Instagram and other social media platforms below it. In other words, many people in Japan were talking about Kang Woo-jin.
Even at this moment, something was happening.

Every second and minute, various social media posts were flooded. The trend gradually spread to other areas. Not just SNS, but the Internet, offline, etc. A painting that spreads throughout Japan. Something like a fad, topic, or trend. Usually, in such cases, there is some kind of rhyme, timing, or flow.
The current Kang Woo-jin was also the same. The current situation is the result of many things coming together.
Woojin was already quite famous in Japan, and Kang Woojin played the piano himself. His outrageous piano skills. The vivid realism of the video. The fame of the song is something that will happen recently. In addition to the ‘unfamiliar’ actors who briefly show Kang Woojin’s indifferent face in the video, there are many others.
Kang Woo-jin was becoming a trend in Japan.
Chairman Hideki, seeing this situation, smiled faintly but wrinkled. Kang Woo-jin has always had a lot of issues, but this time, his momentum and power were different. There was no good news like this. Chairman Hideki, the owner of a large corporation, decided to instigate this tsunami.
This good news came with his investment money.
“Is the article popular?”
“Yes, it continues to increase.”
“Our channel is also joining in. “Sprinkle so much that you feel like it’s too much.”
It will have a huge impact not only on ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ but also on BW Entertainment.
Meanwhile.
Inside a van driving on the road. It was the car that Kang Woo-jin was riding in. Moving to the set of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’. Of course, they also understood the current trend of Japan as a whole. That’s why there was an uproar.
“wow!! “Really, Japanese people only talk about you on social media!!”
“Getting first place on Twitter is truly amazing!”
“I guess the kids here like this song!!”
The shouts of stylists. Jang Soo-hwan praises Kang Woo-jin, who is constantly showing Han Ye-jeong’s various SNS posts without saying a word.
and.
“A nuclear bomb exploded. A nuclear bomb.”
Choi Seong-gun, the ponytail-haired man, is sitting in the passenger seat and smiling.
“Twitter, Instagram, Toktik, search sites, etc. are all overflowing with tags with your name, Woojin.”
“……”
Of course, Kang Woo-jin was deeply cynical.
“Well, the situation is nothing bad for us. Woojin, you probably had a rough guess and showed me the piano. Right?”
“Yes, at a glance.”
It wasn’t.
‘It explodes like this??!’
Kang Woo-jin was currently unable to contain his surprise.
‘No, I just played the piano once, so why is there such a fuss??! why?? What??’
I thought there would be a moderate amount of talk, but I had no idea that the whole of Japan would be in an uproar. But what can you do? The tsunami had already begun and Kang Woo-jin just had to endure it. It’s okay though. Because Kang Woo-jin is an expert at hiding his embarrassment and acting tough.
Then Choi Seong-geon, who edited the diary, changed the topic.
“It would be nice to break this trend, but we don’t have time to do that. “You know that after finishing today’s filming and completing the remaining schedule in Japan, I have to go to Korea right away, right?”
Although there were still a few things left, Kang Woo-jin had to go to Korea after organizing his schedule in Japan for about three weeks. Because my schedule in Korea was overflowing. Once I finish it properly, I will return to Japan.
It was at this time.
“omg!! CEO, look over there!”
As I was almost arriving on set, one of the stylists poked me in the front with his index finger. Thanks to this, everyone’s attention, including Kang Woo-jin, was focused on that. Dozens of reporters with cameras were tangled at the entrance to the large set.
“What is it?? Why were reporters flocking to the set??!”
It was a first time. That means there is only one answer. Choi Seong-geon, who was scratching his head, mumbled the answer.
“What can you say? It’s because of Woojin. But where did you find the set location??”
Anyway, when I parked my car in the parking lot outside the set without the reporters knowing, some of the ‘Unfamiliar’ staff members who were waiting nearby came running. Among them, one male staff member shouted in Japanese into the open back door of the van.
“Woojin!! “Just come in with us as quickly as possible!!”
As expected, it was thanks to Kang Woo-jin that reporters flocked. Soon, Kang Woo-jin, wearing short padding, quickly moved to the entrance of the set with the staff.
at the same time.
“Ugh!! Kang Woo-jin!!”
“Kang Woojin!! “Just one short comment!!”
“Mr. Woojin!!”
Reporters were pressing the shutters like crazy.
after.
Days disappeared.
Before we knew it, it was February 3rd.
Today, of course, Kang Woo-jin moved to the filming set. But it wasn’t the filming location for ‘Familiar’. Kashihi Group was the filming location for an advertisement for its food affiliate. Thanks to this, Woojin arrived at a large studio in Tokyo early in the morning.
Woojin’s first impression upon entering the studio was this.
‘It’s a joke. Is this a commercial filming location??
‘The scale is considerable.’ If you don’t have a good concept, you’ll just say wow. Of course, I’ve seen large studios in Korea, but this place felt a bit more like a movie set than an advertising set.
The things prepared to that extent were enormous.
“ah! Woojin Kang! hello!”
“Kang Woo-jin has arrived!”
“Nice to meet you, Woojin. “I am the director of this commercial.”
Including the advertising filming team that welcomed Woojin upon his arrival at the studio and the Kashihi Group employees who came out to oil the scene, there seemed to be a good 70 people. Some people also asked about Woojin’s piano skills. What about the filming equipment? There were various types of cameras as well as small jimmy houses. Audio equipment that looked expensive also caught Woojin’s attention.
Add to.
‘The set is crazy too. Is that area only for CG filming?’
In the studio, which was divided into four parts, pre-built sets and green screens were set up for each session. There is literally no separate movie set. However, Woojin sat in the actor’s waiting seat silently, without any signs of surprise. Soon the advertising director comes running.
“You may have seen Woojin’s storyboard, but I’ll explain it again.”
“Yes, I understand.”
What Kang Woo-jin was filming today was an advertisement for a new product, ramen. The brand itself is ranked high in Japan. Woojin felt a bit of curiosity while listening to the briefing from the director and staff.
‘Wow – but I actually came to Japan to film a commercial.’
I’ve filmed quite a few commercials in Korea, but filming in Japan, a foreign country, was a bit new. Meanwhile, Choi Seong-gun and Woojin’s teams were laughing for some reason while looking at the distributed advertising filming storyboard.
“Hey, but isn’t this really ingenious?”
“That’s right, CEO. “Doesn’t something fit you perfectly with Woojin?”
“I know. There is even a story gag twist in the ad. “When the advertisement opens, it will become a hot topic in Japan and Korea.”
Meanwhile, in Japan, #KangWoojin and #KangWoojin piano tags were increasing like crazy. It was the same with the knight. The video on Japan’s YouTube channel already had over 3 million views. Awareness explodes several times.
– I’m addicted… I can’t escape Kang Woo-jin’s piano playing… My wish is to see the real Kang Woo-jin in person…
– I’m really jealous of people who have seen his piano right under their noses! What does it feel like??
-Woojin Kang playing piano I hope it’s uploaded on YouTube too!!!
Therefore, the number of malicious comments was bound to increase.
-Why on earth are you praising Kang Woo-jin so much? You’re just playing the piano to stand out, right?
-I guess that was what you were aiming for when you chose the song “Merry-Go-Round of Life?” Knowing that Japanese people like it,
Kang Woo-jin’s piano skills, which turned Japan upside down, are starting to be revealed even in Korea, where there is a lot of talk about ‘beneficial evil’.
Starting with the community.
– Japan is currently in an uproar because of Kang Woo-jin.jpg
– This is taken from the Japanese YouTube channel. Kang Woo-jin became a hot topic in Japan by playing the piano.
– Look at Japanese Twitter now haha. Kang Woo-jin ate a real sword there haha.
Reporters in charge of the unit are also moving. It was.
『[Star Talk] What on earth is going on with ‘Kang Woo-jin’s piano performance’ that is going viral in Japan?』
Kang Woo-jin’s piano video has started to be shared in Korea as well.
Just like that, three days of bustle between the two countries came to an end.
Early morning on Thursday the 4th.
For some reason, Kang Woo-jin could not be found on the set of ‘Familiar Parasite’. It wasn’t even in the hotel where I was staying. To be clear, it was not seen in Japan.
It was natural.
“The answer was to leave the country secretly. “I’m glad you had a comfortable ride without reporters, right, Woojin?”
“Yes, CEO.”
“Get at least an hour of sleep until you arrive in Korea.”
Because Kang Woo-jin had already boarded a plane to Korea. The plane was already flying in the sky. From the looks of it, it looked like they had thrown a nuclear bomb at Japan and then fled to Korea.
So what.
It wasn’t Kang Woo-jin who calculated this situation in the first place and made his move. I didn’t even encourage it. It just happened while people were talking freely, right?
‘Once I finish organizing my schedule in Korea and go back, things will be a little quieter, right?’
It is a common occurrence in the entertainment industry for things to become quiet over time. I also saw Kang Woo-jin often. Thinking like that, Woojin closed his eyes.
But that was Woojin’s hasty judgment.
Because I never even thought that another tsunami would occur. The starting point of another tsunami was now. The moment when Kang Woo-jin closed his eyes on the plane.
A famous Japanese voice actor posted a post on Instagram, a social media site.

[Hello, this is Asami Saya. Today I would like to talk about something that has nothing to do with the work. Actually, I had a lot of trouble deciding whether to write this article or not. But I thought I should express my gratitude to him properly.]
[There is a Korean actor who is currently causing a stir in Japan with his impromptu piano performances, right? Yes, Kang Woo-jin. I want to talk about Kang Woo-jin. And even the inside story of that impromptu piano performance. I am very happy that Woojin Kang’s popularity has increased, but I see some misunderstandings in some of his posts, so I would like to correct them. Woojin Kang didn’t play the piano just to look cool. The piano was played for my daughter.]
[My beloved daughter is a little crippled enough to use a wheelchair. Some of you may know this. My daughter likes KPOP and often watches Korean content. Maybe that’s why I became a big fan of Kang Woo-jin. Likewise, I did the same. Last week was my daughter’s birthday. So, my family decided to eat out at the Kashihi Tokyo Hotel restaurant we had been planning. Oh my goodness, that’s where I met my daughter and former Kang Woo-jin.]
The writing was filled with earnest sincerity.
[I found out later that it was true, but Kang Woo-jin was scheduled to film at the hotel. Anyway, my daughter froze as soon as she saw Kang Woo-jin. Isn’t that right? You probably didn’t know that the actor you love would appear before your eyes. Woojin Kang’s energy was amazing. Not only is she cool, but what can I say? She has an aura that makes me think she’s an actress. The daughter was embarrassed and rambling, but Kang Woo-jin calmly greeted her, signed autographs, and talked to her.] The famous Japanese voice actress was
Asami Yusako’s mother.
