When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar - Chapter 122

# 122

The end and the beginning (1)

“But what good is a university to a celebrity who committed admission corruption?”

“So, that’s right.”

“Isn’t it wrong?”

“We have to see the results. However, considering that the prosecution has been investigated, isn’t that a big deal?”

“Well, if you look at the article that was published… I liked Seojun…”

“Look. “I didn’t like Seojun.”

“He’s handsome…”

“Ugh, you idiot.”

“Anyway, what about the drama? “It’s going to be a mess there, right?”

Dowook swallowed a bitter laugh while listening to the hair shop employees whispering among themselves.

‘Now is the beginning.’

In the hot weather, the temperature inside the hair shop, where the air conditioner was turned on weakly, was cool enough to feel comfortable. However, sweat was oozing out of Dowook’s hands.

For today, Dowook has been preparing for a long time even after his soul changed.

Thanks to this, Dowook became a singer, which was his old dream, and now he is becoming an actor, something he never thought possible. I achieved my dream and have a new dream.

‘Should I at least say thank you?’

So to speak, it could have been thanks to Seo Kang-jun that we got this far.

If I had just had a passion and dream of going on stage and singing, I don’t think I would have gritted my teeth and practiced so hard and slept so little to get to this point.

But of course, I wasn’t going to say thank you to Seo Kang-Jun.

There was too much else to say to say thank you.

All those words of anger rotted away in Kim Bo-myeong’s heart for a long time, and no form remained.

So I didn’t think I needed to say anything else.

Dowook just wanted to watch now. This is the downfall of someone who has trampled on and trampled on the lives of many people.

“Huh……”

Do-wook let out a deep sigh, boiling from the inside of his stomach.

The employee who was bringing drinks looked at Dowook and asked.

“Do-wook, are you in an uncomfortable place?”

“Oh no.”

“If you feel uncomfortable, please let me know.”

“yes.”

The employee returned and Dowook looked in the mirror.

While filming “Blue Whale” to bring down Seo Kang-joon, I contacted reporter Choi Seong-jun, made a plan, and made a lot of preparations of my own.

Timing was important. If there was even the slightest mistake, he could have been attacked by the snarky head of the department, Seo Joong-won.

Dowook thought it was now.

If it’s too unknown, it might be easy to bring it down, but it won’t be such a big revenge. Now that I am in a certain position, it is not absolute.

‘Now is the time when you have just stepped into a high place and are in danger.’

***

As everyone expected, the inside of the drama department of the KVS broadcasting station located in Yeouido was in an uproar.

Just a few hours later was the “Cinderella” press conference. And today was the first broadcast.

If the main character, Seo Kang-joon, had committed something as outrageous as college admission fraud as the article said, it was clear that he would only be criticized if it were broadcast like this.

In fact, it was difficult for anyone to predict how the public’s arrows would be fired.

Even when they engage in sexual scandals, have affairs, or commit assault, some actors remain popular and continue to win praise on TV and the big screen.

Of course, I had to endure the criticism for what I had committed, which always followed me with a label, but that was nothing compared to what I had committed.

However, the director of the drama department and the CP director gathered together to smoke cigarettes, but the question was whether the public would ignore the issue of ‘university’.

If the military issue was what people were most sensitive to, then universities were next. This was because the military and universities were issues that concerned the entire nation.

For example, an adulterous actor. Of course, there are many people who are shocked at the mere mention of adultery, but there are also many who think it is a bit of a private matter.

There were even people who said that it was too personal and that it was even more ridiculous to only love one person for the rest of your life. So, not all 100 out of 100 people criticized the adulterous actor.

But the military was different. Those who had to go to the military, those who did, and their families were bound to become angry.

In that sense, universities were also social issues that too many people were involved with. On the day of the college entrance exam, the entire nation cheered on the test takers. There was no need to say more since this is a country that delays the opening of the stock market.

“Did someone go crazy trying to ruin the drama?”

The person in charge of directing “Cinderella” muttered while smoking a cigarette.

He was someone who didn’t like the casting of Seo Kang-jun from the beginning.

Although Seo Kang-Jun received favorable reviews for “Lovers of the Sun and the Moon,” I thought his acting skills were not yet proven enough to take on the lead role.

When I met Seo Kang-jun along with the writer, I got a bad feeling about the directing. Because it was just a common intuition and feeling, I did not have enough persuasive power to persuade others.

On the other hand, CP, which has a close relationship with Ara Entertainment, pushed Seo Kang-joon for the lead role. That’s why Seo Kang-joon was selected as the lead role.

“What is Seojun saying?”

“No… I got a call saying they would take care of it…”

CP answered the director’s question. The director frowned. The wrinkles on my forehead, which were originally three, became five.

“You don’t know when the results of the prosecution’s investigation will come out, right?”

“Yes…”

It had been a long time since CP, who was always so arrogant, looked embarrassed. However, the directing was not exciting at all. I couldn’t have been happy because the work under my name looked like it was going to fail.

“The results don’t matter now.”

The director took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and asked again. The conference room was filled with cigarette smoke.

“Anyway, the fact that an investigation has been conducted and an article has been published means that there is something conclusive, whether it is suspicion or physical evidence. There’s no way people wouldn’t know that. “In people’s minds, he is already the kid who committed the admissions corruption.”

“How can a drama start and if it goes well… wouldn’t it be possible to wash the image? When actors start working on a project, they usually just move on. “If it comes out later that it’s not true, people will be quiet.”

The director exhaled cigarette smoke.

“We have already filmed up to episode 4 and today is the first episode, what should we do? “There is a meeting in five hours.”

CP continued. What CP said was correct. It was impossible to overturn the drama at all. But it was a university problem. I was skeptical about whether I could get through it like other actors. In addition, Seo Kang-Jun’s main fan base was in their twenties.

“Seojun’s filming starts from a few episodes ago.”

The director asked, turning to the director.

“I was a child role until the 3rd episode, and I started acting in earnest from the 4th episode. ah! Huh… It also appears at the end of episode 3.”

“End of episode 3?”

The director stroked his chin.

At that time, a message arrived from the person the director had contacted. The director checked his cell phone. He was a reporter with ties to the prosecution.

“It won’t work.”

“yes?”

CP asked as if asking what it meant.

“I’m going to postpone it for a week because of the special broadcast, so find someone else.”

“yes?”

This time it was directing. Of course, the director also thought that it would be difficult for Seojun to continue as is. However, using a pinch hitter was also realistically difficult.

The good news was that child actors were filmed until the middle of episode 3.

“Director. They’re telling me to die. When will we film again and edit…”

“Huh… you know. So they said it would be postponed by a week. “It’s no longer possible.”

“And who does this?”

“I have to save it. I’ll try contacting you too. “Even if you fall a little short, it’s difficult to get a schedule right away…”

The conversation between the director and the director consisted of nothing but deep sighs.

The directing was teeth-gnashing. I felt like I never wanted to see a single hair on Seojun again.

“Do we really have to do this?”

When CP asked carefully, the director almost threw the cell phone in his hand and answered.

“Would I want to do this? I want to pass it over quietly. But it’s not such a small thing. “I think it’s going to get bigger.”

That’s according to the message I received from the reporter.

It was said that the prosecution investigation would be more extensive than expected.

The director shook his head and looked at the contact information on his cell phone. I was looking through the numbers of various celebrities and agency officials to see if there was anyone who could step in as Seojun’s replacement.

“Then I will cancel the meeting and write a press release and send it out right away.”

“okay. Afterwards, I should go somewhere and do a ritual or something. “Why is something like this happening?”

At CP’s words, the director cursed lowly and stood up.

CP followed behind the director.

“Then on Seojun’s side…”

“Take care of it. “Do we really need to worry about getting in there since it’s not enough to borrow money from there now?”

“That’s right.”

Nodding, CP touched his throbbing temple.

The news section of the portal site was in an uproar.

Seo Kang-jun, who was reading the article and reading the comments section, raised the corner of his mouth. His hair was slicked back without a single strand of hair, and he was wearing a well-dressed suit. Seo Kang-Jun’s appearance today was truly a visual that would have made fans faint if they had seen it.

However, the reason fans were stunned was not because of Seo Kang-jun’s visuals, but because of Seo Kang-jun’s corruption.

Seo Kang-jun, who was about to leave for the press conference after finishing all the settings, ended up trapped inside the van.

Boom! Bang!

Seo Kang-jun threw the cell phone he was holding into the window.

The manager, who was answering a barrage of phone calls from reporters and passionately saying that Seojun had nothing to do with university corruption, turned around in surprise.

The cellphone hit the solid glass window of the van and was lying on the floor, cracked.

Seo Kang-Jun’s eyes devoted to evil gave the manager a chill. The manager roughly finished the call and hung up, looking at Seo Kang-jun.

“Um…Jun.”

“What did your father say?”

“First, go to the dorm and don’t come out… They said they will try to resolve it somehow.”

“My life has become so difficult because of my father…”

Seo Kang-jun took a deep breath as if his fever was rising. His clenched fist was ready to strike at any time.

It was then. The manager’s cell phone started ringing again. At the same time, Seojun’s cracked cell phone also rang.

A new article about Seojun was posted on the community site.

The story was that Seo Kang-joon was a perpetrator of school violence.
