I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 267
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 267
( Masterpiece (4) )
May 5th is Children’s Day in Japan.
Around morning. Currently, Japan is a step behind Korea, but it is in its own way abuzz with the issue of Kang Woo-jin. So did the media and public opinion. It was already known that Woojin won awards simultaneously at the Baeksang Awards, as did the sudden news of his work with Miley Kara and the ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’ cup ramen.
The two news were already hot topics on Japanese social media.

In particular, the Miley Kara connection caused a great shock to the Japanese entertainment industry. And the ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’ cup ramen was selling like hot cakes in Japan as well.
Because it caught the trend in Japan.

In addition to the abundance of proof shots from the Japanese public, Japanese YouTubers also mass-produced videos related to ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’ cup ramen. There were even many other dishes made with cup ramen.
We haven’t been able to watch the broadcast of ‘Our Table’ yet.
Well, there were some edited versions released on YouTube, but compared to Korea, it was minimal. The current crazy phenomenon was, of course, the work of Kang Woo-jin alone. His influence alone is shaking the Japanese public.
-Kang Woojin I finally bought cup ramen!!
-I’m jealous…I can’t find a convenience store in front of my house yet…When does it come in?
-If it’s hard to find, you can go to Shin-Okubo! You have to wait in line to buy it, but it seems like they have a lot of stock!
-wwww I’ve been eating this for a week now
-But did Kang Woojin really develop this??
– To be exact, they developed a dish and then released it as a product.
– What on earth is Kang Woo-jin? Are you a chef? Or are you an actor?
-I heard that a voice actor is also participating this time and that he is planning to work on an album with Miley Cara… Now, his identity is in doubt. Could he be an alien?
-Hehehe! alien! There’s a chance!
Meanwhile, actor Kang Woo-jin, who caused earthquakes in Korea and Japan, was in his hotel room. It was a high-end hotel in Tokyo, and Woojin, wearing black pajamas who had just woken up, was brushing his teeth in the bathroom.
“……”
Woojin’s hair was scattered and his eyes were hazy. Looks like he just woke up. Brush your teeth mechanically without thinking. It looks like the concept has been put aside for a moment. Of course, in the midst of this, his cell phone, which was placed on his bed, was receiving numerous messages.
-Ugh.
-Ugh.
Talk, text or DM. The reason is simple. It was obvious that Korean acquaintances and colleagues who watched the preview of ‘Island of the Missing’ sent me messages. It was a mess last night too.
“I’m so tired.”
Kang Woo-jin, who had just washed his mouth, sighed. Looks like fatigue overlapped. Well, it was worth it. As soon as I came to Japan, I returned to filming ‘Familiar Gisaeng’, and while I was in Korea, my schedule in Japan was quite busy.
‘Isn’t a hotel just a home these days??? If it’s going to be like this, do I really need my own house?’
He had never had such a hellish schedule in his life. If subspace didn’t exist, I would have raised the white flag a long time ago. Of course, it was fun, but it was Kang Woo-jin who really felt the pressure.
‘Ha-damn. ‘Your schedule was full today too, right?’
There is no filming for ‘Island of the Missing’ today, but I had a brief meeting with director Kyotaro and also got to see A10 Studio regarding ‘Boyfriend: Remake’. Interview and pictorial in the afternoon. At night, there will also be a personal promotional video shoot prior to the release of ‘Island of the Missing’. The entire ‘Island of the Missing’ team is accelerating their promotional schedule, but since only Kang Woo-jin has come to Japan, this much has to be done.
An hour back.
Kang Woo-jin and ponytail Choi Seong-geon appeared in the hotel lounge.
-Sigh.
Woojin quickly monopolized the attention of the guests in the lounge. Unlike in the morning, Kang Woo-jin, who was dressed like a young man, looked stern. Of course, he also had a calm coolness on his face. However, the inner Kang Woo-jin was busy thinking about other things.
‘Wow, what is it, the smell of bread. ‘That’s bullshit!’
What Woojin met was director Kyotaro, who was wearing a hat that was pressed down, but still showed a lot of gray hair. I stopped by for a moment to meet Kang Woo-jin before filming. Director Kyotaro, who was looking at his cell phone, smiled at Woojin and spoke Japanese.
“Haha Mr. Woojin. Since both of us are busy, let’s keep it brief.”
“Yes, Director.”
Director Kyotaro took out several pieces of paper and showed them to Woojin. It was a few scenes from the scenario of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’.
“Woojin, this is probably a scene you already know, but I’d like to change it up a bit. I’ve already finished talking to writer Akari and the key staff. “I told Mana Kusaku yesterday.”
“……”
“Kiyoshi and Detective Mochio’s first meeting. I would like to take this cut in two directions. One is as the storyboard, and the other is as the actors want, with the lines of the scene removed. “I want Kang Woo-jin and Mana Kusaku to express themselves freely. What do you think, Woo-jin?”
freely? Are you talking about some kind of ad-lib? Throw a character into a situation and let them figure it out? Although he was a little surprised by the unexpected proposal, Kang Woo-jin’s face was calm. It was a mix of concepts, but it was also sincere.
‘I think it would be okay to use that ‘freedom of role’.’
Because it wasn’t that difficult.
“Yeah, it’s not that difficult.”
“Fortunately, the. For your information, according to the filming continuity, this cut will probably be the last day of filming for ‘Familiar Gisaeng’.”
“Is that so?”
“hmm. And there will probably be some customers that day. Writer Akari and film company executives. And even Chairman Hideki Yoshimura.”
In other words, it meant that all the people connected to the ‘unfamiliar gisaeng’ were gathered together.
backwards.
Time flew by like a bullet. While Kang Woo-jin was busy with his schedule in Japan, a movie war was literally unfolding in Korea.
The peak season has begun.

Movies that were waiting were announced one after another for their release. Movies that exploded in popularity the previous week quickly faded, and newly released movies gained momentum. Big Hollywood movies scheduled to be released in the future were also promoted like crazy. Not to be outdone, ‘Island of the Missing’ also accelerated its marketing and promotions.

bombarded many video platforms, including YouTube, with trailers with a strong advertising nature, character introduction videos, making videos, etc. like bombs. Of course, the same was true for other movies. The actors added momentum to the movie war by performing stage greetings and appearing on YouTube according to their individual schedules.

So Saturday, May 8th.
Just in time for Parents’ Day, Kang Woo-jin’s parents, Seo Hyun-mi and Kang Woo-cheol, arrived at the premiere of ‘Island of the Missing’. Not only the two of them, but also Woojin’s younger sister, Kang Hyeon-ah, and her friends who were executives of ‘Strong Heart’. Of course, it was Kang Woo-jin’s invitation.
Seo Hyun-mi and Kang Woo-cheol’s faces were full of emotion when they arrived at the movie theater.
“Oh my god – honey, look at the monitor over there. “Woojin said our Woojin is the main character.”
“Hyeonmi… What’s new? “But my son is cool.”
Seo Hyun-mi held up a small poster for ‘Island of the Missing’. A group shot of actors in military uniforms in front of a cave in the background.
“Interesting. Woojin is also on the poster here. “As the lead role.”
“surely. “During ‘Drug Dealer,’ it wasn’t so overt.”
Among the ‘Island of the Missing’ posters and life-size posters that were already spread out, Kang Woo-jin was proudly in the front row along with other top actors. Kang Hyun-ah called her parents in front of the theater where the preview screening would soon be held.
“mom! dad!! “We have to go in!”
‘Island of the Missing’ is gradually gaining publicity. Thanks to master director Kwon Ki-taek and top actors and issue king Kang Woo-jin, ‘Island of the Missing’ sold well. However, the official release date of ‘Island of the Missing’ is May 19th. The other film teams participating that day were also not weak in firepower.
“article! Spread more articles! “You’re weak!!”
“I will request it from the distributor right away!!”
“Definitely twice as much as ‘Island of the Missing’! “Looking at the atmosphere, this promotional schedule doesn’t work. Talk to the actors and schedule more entertainment!”
“yep!!”
Competitors were also pouring money into promotion. The closer we get to the 19th, the more endless it becomes.
“It’s peak season, it’s peak season! You have to come to your senses. Have you looked at the reviews of the ‘Island of the Missing’ preview?”
“There aren’t many, but I’ve received quite a few rave reviews. “It looks like the quality has gone down well!”
“It’s director Kwon Ki-taek, so he must have missed out. Tsk, honestly, it would be best if the content was so bad that it fell apart on its own…” “
Isn’t it a bit unreasonable to set the release date for the 19th?”
“no. That time is the Buddha’s Birthday, so it is also a red day. If you push back, there will be a series of big Hollywood movies. ‘Island of the Missing’ is worth mentioning.”
There were only 4 movies released on the 19th. 3 domestic and 1 Hollywood.
“Let’s double the advertising on YouTube.”
“We already have the most?”
“We have to go more overwhelmingly. The good news is that Kang Woo-jin is not in Korea right now. “This is an opportunity.”
Competitors rush in with their eyes lit up. In addition, the movie version is literally flooded with new releases. However, Kang Woo-jin supported ‘Island of the Missing’ in a different way. Including issues that have already prevailed in media opinion.

Kang Woo-jin is not only an actor, but also a monster YouTuber influencer.
Thus announcing the beginning of the movie war.
『’Movie War’ dawned on May 19th… ‘Island of the Missing’ sortie completed』
May 19th dawned.
Wednesday, May 19th. The day Buddha came.
A late morning. Perhaps because it was a red day, Seoul’s subways and buses were quieter than on weekdays. Well, there are still a lot of people, but compared to the war on going to work, it seems quiet.
At that very moment, three familiar men appeared at a large multiplex movie theater near Pangyo Station.
The three of us just got on the elevator.
“Ah, crazy person, I never thought I would go to the movies with the peppers on my day off.”
“Lee Kyung-seong. Just leave out the candy in your hand. What are you eating in the morning? And we went to the movie theater once before, right? When Woojin watches ‘Healing Bureau’.”
“Kkeke Lee Kyung-seong, that bastard was eating popcorn back then too.”
“Shut up. “You and I ate it too.”
They were Kang Woo-jin’s friends. The reason I headed to the movie theater despite my grumbling was simple. It was to see ‘Island of the Missing’, which was officially released today. Next, Daeyoung Kim, who had just clicked on the floor number and was on holiday for the first time in a while, spoke to Hyeonggu Na. Na Hyeong-gu was busy contacting someone earlier.
“Where is your girlfriend?”
“It looks like they are waiting in the lobby.”
“Ah Oki.”
For reference, these three were invited to the preview by Kang Woo-jin, but could not come due to timing constraints. That’s why we gathered separately today. Anyway, the elevator gradually filled with people as it went up each floor. There were many eliminated people who had to take the next one due to lack of space.
Na Hyeong-gu, crumpled in the corner, whispered to Kim Dae-young.
“Hey, there are a lot of people. “Is this all about going to the movies?”
“Back purge. “You don’t press the floor number.”
“Wow, it turned around. It’s 11 in the morning, what kind of person-”
“It’s a holiday, right?” “It’s a peak season for movie theaters these days.”
-Ding!
During the conversation, the elevator arrived at the movie theater, the doors opened, and people streamed out into the movie theater as if the tide was flowing. The same goes for the trio of friends.
At the same time, the three opened their mouths.
“Wow…what is it??”
“There are so many humans. “Shiba what???”
“You’re crazy. War man? “Is it full as if some kind of people have taken refuge?”
It was because I was shocked by the crowd of people in the movie theater lobby. The ticket office, concession stand, and waiting sofas were crowded. Family, couple, men and women, friends, solo, etc. Thanks to the amazing people, the movie theater lobby was reminiscent of a club, only without the lights. That means there was a lot of crowds.
“Wow, my ears hurt.”
“Hey, quickly find Na Hyung-gu’s girlfriend. “If you make a mistake here, you won’t be able to find anyone.”
“uh. ah! here! “It’s a pearl!!”
Soon, Na Hyeong-gu’s girlfriend was added, making the team a four-member team. The leader of this team was the sturdy Kim Dae-young.
“…It’s truly a battlefield. Hey Kyungseong Lee, if you want to eat something, go get it. If you want to take a proof photo with Hyung-gu and his girlfriend, do it now. “I will issue tickets.”
“okay.”
“But you made a reservation, right?”
“of course. “I bought it as soon as it opened a few days ago.”
The team quickly dispersed. Daeyoung Kim stood in front of the ticket machine with difficulty and picked out a movie ticket. Even then, I had to wait 15 minutes because of the waiting line. Kim Dae-young, who had picked up a ticket, picked up his cell phone, surprised by the crowd once again.
“Wow, if Bundang is like this, how much more crowded is Seoul?? “Isn’t this enough to sell out?”
He checked the current movie theater’s show schedule. There are four new movies released today. Among them, Daeyoung Kim filmed ‘Island of the Missing’.

Immediately, Daeyoung Kim’s eyes widened.
“Jirine??!”
Because it was a sold out parade.
He then quickly searched for ‘Island of the Missing’ on a portal site. The first thing he saw was an article.
