I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 311
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 311
L.A.
It was night in Korea and Japan, but dawn in LA. The time is around 6 o’clock. Of course, Kang Woo-jin was in a suite at the 5-star Beverly Hills Hotel in LA. Woojin came out of the bathroom with his head wet, probably because he had an early schedule. I started working on the album with Miley Kara about an hour later.
“Are you craving ramen since dawn?”
When Woojin, who was free and free from any concept, recited, Kang Woojin’s cell phone on the table in the spacious living room vibrated.
-Ugh.
I checked and it was a DM. The opponent was Mifuyu Uramatsu, a top Japanese actress who also appeared on Woojin’s YouTube channel and was featured in ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’. The content was simple. A photo of yourself watching TV and a short message. -(picture)
-Male friend: I just started watching the remake!
Woojin checked the time and muttered.
“Oh, I guess it’s started.”
It was said that the lid on ‘Boyfriend: Remake’ had been opened. Of course, Kang Woo-jin also knew. He was also looking forward to it. However, it was difficult to broadcast it in real time because the time difference was different and I was in LA right now. All I had to do was carry out my work like this and check contacts from acquaintances and reactions from the public.
“Tsk, I’m curious, but there’s nothing I can do.”
Kang Woo-jin could not even attend the test for ‘Boyfriend: Remake’. In other words, the official finished product has not been confirmed. Still, I was able to watch ‘Boyfriend: Remake’ when it was released on Korea’s animation OTT platform.
‘I have no choice but to wait a few days.’
Then, Kang Woo-jin left the hotel. Because he had to go straight to Miley Cara’s recording studio. Since preliminary meetings and planning were completed around yesterday, it was safe to say that the actual album recording work started today.
The music video filming was scheduled around the time recording was almost finished.
Early in the morning, when Kang Woo-jin got into the waiting van in front of the hotel, many people related to Woo-jin were watching animation in Japan, where it was night, unlike in LA. ‘Male Friend: Remake’ was in the midst of airing episode 1. Not only the voice actors who participated in the production like Kang Woo-jin, but also actors from ‘A10 Studio’ and hundreds of staff members from ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’.
In particular, some of the lead actors of ‘The Stranger’ gathered together for dinner and watched ‘Male Friend: Remake’ on a tablet. About 4 people including Mana Kosakuna and Ogimoto Yasuta.
“Oh! It’s fun? Isn’t it fun? Am I the only one who finds it fun??”
“No? It’s fun for me too! Even if Woojin didn’t do any voice acting, it was done really well, right?”
“In particular, the drawing direction is killer. Is it really A10? Even the details that would otherwise be overlooked were brought to life in great detail.”
“The original Korean work was a hit, and I think the adaptation was just as good. The characters are all attractive. But why is Kang Woo-jin such a good voice actor?”
“……I heard Woojin sang the OP song too? Wow – what’s with the voice tone synchronization – it just sounds like a veteran voice actor!”
There were many people who passed by Kang Woo-jin in Japan in the past. For example, the Japanese talk show ‘Ametalk show!’ where Woojin only appeared.
“What is this? The quality of Woojin’s voice acting is so good? Isn’t it far beyond what you could achieve with practice?”
“Huh, this is going to be a hot topic tomorrow. There was a lot of talk about him being a voice actor because he was cast because he was moderately popular, right? But Woojin is so good that other professional voice actors are hard to see.” “The quality of the animation was also chosen at an all-time high. A10 really put his life on the line?”
Unlike usual, many people gathered in front of the TV. Of course, the same was true not only for people related to Kang Woo-jin, but also for the Japanese public. One thing that was certain was that there was a lot more crowd than usual.
The running time of ‘Boyfriend: Remake’ was not that long.
Approximately 25 minutes including OP and EP.
It was a long time and a short time, but its impact on the Japanese animation industry was not small. Just looking at the Japanese media and public opinion focused on it, and the numerous animation production companies, it was the same.
Anyway, the first episode of ‘Boyfriend: Remake’ ended around 10:40 p.m.
From this time, boosters were posted on various Japanese SNS.

[Male friend: The remake is so fun!!?? It’s not a full-on romantic comedy, but it also has music mixed in! Even the op and ep are good!! And Kang Woo-jin’s voice actor skills are crazy!??]
‘Male Friend: Talk of a remake has started to overflow.
It’s noisy. Kang Woo-jin browsed social media and communities for about 10 minutes and then put down her cell phone. There was no particular change in his expression. Because he heard something from ‘A10 Studio’ and Choi Seong-gun. Since it is such a hot topic, there are probably many people among the Japanese public who are 100% opposed to it.
‘Well, of course.’
It was nothing special to Woojin. No matter if you get criticized or not, as long as the viewership ratings are good, you’re in luck, right? My mentality is not particularly shaken. In conclusion, the Japanese public opinion that was trying to criticize was reversed, and this is about it.
-Squeak!
A large van carrying Kang Woo-jin stopped. We arrived at Miley Cara’s recording studio, located about an hour away from the hotel. Even though it was early in the morning, Kara was waiting in the enormous recording studio. She let down her long blonde hair and put a hat on top of it.
Everyone has a solid face. The funny thing is that everyone’s eyes are looking at one person. She was the female team leader of the planning team who was in charge of overall handling of ‘Boyfriend: Remake’. She was also standing at the head of the meeting room, pacing back and forth nervously as she looked down at her cell phone screen.
About this way.
-Sigh.
Mahiro Sakuichi, director of ‘Boyfriend: Remake’, asked while swallowing dry saliva.
“Has there been an announcement yet?”
The female team leader nodded her head.
“Yes, not yet.”
Several executives from ‘A10 Studio’ sighed softly and joined the conversation.
“Park.”
“…I don’t think I’ve ever seen you tired. That was the case the last time I went to Korea and today too.”
“Is that so?”
“Do you have good physical strength or do you manage it with exercise?”
It’s a subspace. Since he couldn’t do that, Woojin was a bit cautious.
“I have my own way.”
“What is it?”
“It might be hard to say that it’s just mine.”
“Oh, this is my first time hearing that answer.”
“This is my first time saying this too.”
Kara, who had already figured out Kang Woo-jin’s character, laughed.
“So did that Japanese animation have good results?”
It was Kara who already knew about ‘Boyfriend: Remake’ and Kang Woo-jin answered calmly.
“Well, the news hasn’t arrived yet.”
It was then.
-Ugh.
Kang Woo-jin’s cell phone vibrated briefly. It was a tok, and the opponent was Choi Seong-gun, who was in the car behind. The content of the chat he sent was simple. It was a viewer ratings table. But it wasn’t Korean. It was on the Japanese side. -[rating]
1. Boy Friend: Remake/ TBE/ 14.8%
2. Magic Rotation/Fuji ETV/ 9.1%
3. Strongest Spy/ Tokyo ETV/ 8.8%
4. Detective Coonan/ NHM/ 6.2%
Woojin, who was indifferently looking down at the warm viewership rating table he had just received, raised his head. Then he calmly recited to the blonde Kara across from him.
“You took first place.”
It was a low tone without much emotion.
