I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 171
Only Krnovel
Kang Woo-jin looked towards the door of the arrivals hall, where he had been to in the past ‘Nam Sa-chin’. It was his second visit already and he still wasn’t used to it.
Furthermore.
‘Today, Hwarin-nim isn’t there either.’
Unlike when he came to Japan on the schedule of ‘Boyfriend’, Woojin Kang is currently alone. The difference between her companion’s presence and absence was evident in her heartbeat.
‘Uh, it’s a little pouty.’
Tension is high. It was because Choi Seong-gun had said that the media and fans would gather similarly to that time. A lot has changed in a short period of time. ‘Namsachin’ and ‘Ametoke Show!’ were huge hits in Japan, and ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ shook the whole of Japan.
How about the ‘Kang Woojin Bukae’ channel with 6 million subscribers?
Kang Woo-jin, both in name and reality, was comparable to a popular actor contributing to the Japanese Hallyu wave. Anyway, before entering the arrival hall in front of him, Woojin checked his appearance. Because he went to the shop early in the morning, his makeup and hair were perfect. His costume was a black trench coat.
‘It’s so awkward.’
Kang Woo-jin, who was buried among dozens of staff and guards.
-Sue.
Passed through the gate of the arrivals hall.
at the same time.
‘······ Wow- Mr., what is it! It turned!’
Kang Woo-jin opened his mouth inwardly. The reason was simple.
“Kang Woo-jin!! Woojin Kang!!!”
“Are you going to the script reading room for ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ right away?!”
“’Boyfriend’ is gaining huge popularity, how do you feel!!”
“here!! Please look here!!”
“Kang Woo-jin! What do you think working with Japanese actors is like!!”
Because Japanese words were pouring like mad from the mouths of hundreds of reporters behind the fence.
“Is it true that you contacted a Japanese agency about your transfer?!”
Of course, the camera flash was also pouring like crazy.
-Pabababababak!
-Pababababababak!!
Although he had already experienced it, Woojin, who had a silent expression, was confused. To be honest, I didn’t expect this much. But I had to catch her heart. Let us recall only the concept quality. If you stumble here, it’s a waste.
Woojin made the poker face darker.
– Suck.
He showed reporters a hand greeting containing the leisure he had created. At first glance, it is an awkward hand gesture, but it was not a big problem to others, and as evidence of that, the screams of terrifying fans surrounding the reporters hit the arrivals hall.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Kang Woo-jin! Woojin Kang!!!”
“Boyfriend was so much fun!!”
“Please look at this!! I’m a bj, so say hello to the viewers! Wow! Don’t push!”
“Youtube is watching!!”
It’s all in Japanese, but I heard awkward Korean from time to time.
“brother! I love you, brother!!”
The fans were a mixture of men and women, but there were definitely a lot of women. Of course, it was the aftermath of the popular ‘boyfriend’. Kang Woo-jin’s name always appears on Japanese SNS and communities, and the fact that her Woo-jin’s OST was proudly placed at the top of Japan’s Oricon charts made the current situation fully understandable.
Whatever it is.
“Hello thank you.”
Kang Woo-jin greeted the reporters and fans for a moment, and then got out of Haneda Airport as quickly as possible and climbed into a waiting van on the side of the road. In the meantime, reporters and fans followed Woojin’s group.
yet.
– Booung!
Three vans stopped in a row and started one after another. Among them, stylists such as Han Jeong-jeong were exclaiming in the van in which Kang Woo-jin was riding.
“oh my god! What is Woojin oppa’s firepower?!”
“admit!! If this is enough, I’m going to put up with a decent idol??!”
“Did you see that there are BJs among the fans? I guess ‘Boyfriend’ is really popular in Japan!”
“Isn’t it similar to when you came with Hwarin?”
“There were a lot of Korean reporters!”
Instead of the calm Kang Woo-jin, they burst into celebration. Well, Woojin was also doing a lively shoulder dance on the inside. She only outwardly retains her solemnity.
About that.
“Woojin.”
Choi Seong-seon, who had a ponytail in the passenger seat, turned around and called for Kang Woo-jin. It was for a briefing.
“I added a few Japanese schedules while reading the script for ‘Familiar Parasite’? Did I tell you last time?”
“Yes, I remember.”
Seong-gun Choi turned over a page in his diary.
“uh. After the ‘Unfamiliar Parasitic’ script reading, I met Shinjo PD and said, ‘Ametoke Show!’ Here’s a brief interview about it. This is the ‘Ametoke show!’ It’s scheduled to go up on the original broadcast and You Tube, and the ‘Boyfriend’ side was filmed for about an hour at the Netflix Japan studio. ‘Boyfriend’ has exploded more than I thought in Japan.”
It was for at least 3 days. Although it is close, Japan is a foreign country, and it was right to deal with it once and for all.
“There is also a fan signing event hosted by Netflix Japan. Well, it’s not very large. Still, I hope that about 100 fans will come easily.”
ah? Japanese fans? Come to think of it, it was the first time I met Japanese fans face-to-face. There shouldn’t be a big problem since Japanese is installed, but Woojin was a bit nervous as he remembered the fan signing event with Japanese fans.
‘Are they different from Korean fans? Will it be the same?’
Inside, many questions burst out, but Woojin’s superficial solemnity deepened.
“No problem.”
“Ha ha, yes. That would be enough. Indeed and.”
Choi Seong-gun, who was covering the diary, changed the subject.
“Woojin, you haven’t officially announced your transfer yet, right? That’s why the media and public opinion are still talking about themselves – I’d like to put that aside.”
“Does it feel like keeping an issue?”
“yes. Issues like this will help your status rise. Well, it won’t take long. I’ll open it when it’s moderately heated.”
“All right.”
“Yes, leave it to me.”
Including Choi Seong-gun, Jang Soo-hwan and Han Jeong-jeong, all of Woojin’s team, who had swollen before they knew it, laughed lightly. Because I heard that you’re still going together. But it was still a joke.
Following.
-Sue.
Choi Seong-gun presented the transparent file he had prepared to Woo-jin. Kang Woo-jin asks right away.
“What is it?”
“know? In ‘Familiars’, only you learn Korean and we are the only Korean staff. All the rest are Japanese personnel. Well, even though you’re always different, you’re probably unfamiliar. This is a summary of the actors who appeared in ‘Familiar Parasitic’ that we will meet soon.”
“ah.”
“As you can see, there are a lot of towers. It’s natural. The director is Kyotaro Tanokuchi and the original writer is Akari. Are there many familiar actors?”
No, not at all. The Japanese actors in the transparent file that Woojin looked down on were all nerds. Although they are top Japanese actors, they were unfamiliar to Kang Woo-jin.
‘Just- yes, handsome and pretty Japanese people.’
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, but honestly, it was less than when I was on ‘The Island of Missing’. Min Kang Woo-jin felt that way. Then, he looks at downtown Japan through the window of the van where Woojin is running. A landscape that is subtly different from Korea.
‘Something is a little crazy. I’m going to shoot a movie by a Japanese master director.’
Even though it is still a script reading, the sense of reality fades as it approaches right in front of you. But it’s not a dream. Quite a few Japanese fans are already crazy about Kang Woo-jin.
He was slowly becoming greedy.
‘How many Japanese fans will there be if Stranger Things are released?’
At that time, Kashihi Group headquarters.
Executives dressed in suits rushed out of one conference room. The last one was an old man with white eyebrows. It is Chairman Hideki. He gave an old voice to the secretaries behind him as he buttoned up his suit jacket.
“What time is it?”
Lily, the chief of staff, responded quickly with an upright attitude.
“It’s ten o’clock.”
“What time is the reading for ‘Unfamiliar’?”
“It starts at 11. You can start right away.”
“Um, yes. Go right away.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Chairman Hideki moves slowly. He’s probably going to the script reading room for ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’. However, a little worry was mixed in the eyes of Lili, who tied his long hair in a single line.
“Are you okay? It is said that there are many reporters on the scene.”
Chairman Hideki with a wrinkled smile replied lowly.
“It doesn’t matter, the landlord who rented the place is just going to say hello.”
the same time.
Chairman Hideki did the same, but there were many people who moved to the Kashihi Tokyo Hotel, the script reading site for ‘Familiar Parasitic’. In particular, the movement that stood out was the Japanese actors. These are the top actors who were officially cast in ‘Unfamiliars’.
among them.
“Kang Woo-jin? It seems that Haneda Airport has been in an uproar since the morning because of that Korean actor.”
In the car of Mana Kosaku, a famous Japanese band and top actor, Kang Woo-jin was talking. Kosaku, whose hair was long and pinned with her braids, was the second actor Kyotaro contacted after Kang Woo-jin. It means that it is recognized in Japan.
However, his staff seemed concerned.
“It’s Kang Woo-jin- honestly, in Korea, even if there’s no problem, it’s true that worries come first.”
“Is that so? ‘Ametoke show!’ You look good at Japanese.”
“Being good at Japanese isn’t the same as acting in that Japanese.”
“Well, the Korean style and Japanese style of acting are a bit different.”
“Director Kyotaro is such an eccentric. To think of a Korean actor as the lead role in ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’.”
Their concerns had their own reasons. Although Kang Woo-jin’s popularity in Japan has increased exponentially, it is still lacking in proper verification. It is very difficult to act in a foreign language. concerns about it.
The version of ‘Unfamiliar Parasitic’ was already terrifying. In the meantime, only Kang Woo-jin is a Korean actor.
It was natural to draw attention.
‘hmm-‘
Mana Kosaku, who was deep in thought with his arms crossed, also agreed. However, at the same time as Kosaku was worried about her, a sense of crisis that she did not know her name was blooming.
‘Today will be the first time I’ve seen the face in person, so why do I feel the danger?’
It was because of Kang Woo-jin’s momentum and recognition from director Kyotaro and writer Akari. A new Korean actor who has been scouted by Japanese superstars in Korea. And the words coach Kyotaro evaluated Kang Woo-jin.
‘Because it has to be him.’
Mana Kosaku was a veteran of veterans in the Japanese entertainment industry. Even so, a strange tension engulfed her whole body.
“Why- does it have to be him?”
Of course, he was not the only actor who expressed his curiosity toward Kang Woo-jin. There are more than 5 top actors who participated in ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’. There were also A-class actors, and the reactions toward Woojin were varied.
If there is an actress who shows extreme affection.
“Look forward to it! I want to see you soon!”
“Mifuyu, why are you so excited? Calm down.”
“Because Kang Woo-jin is handsome!”
“······There must be a lot of reporters on site. Be careful with your mouth. Do you want to gossip again?”
“How are you? But what does Kang Woo-jin smell like?”
“hey! you!”
“Can I shake hands and hug you?”
There was also a male actor who silently evaluated Kang Woo-jin’s acting.
“His acting is amazing.”
“what?”
“Each role was like a different person, and that’s it.”
“Is it?”
“It’s unknown if we’ll show the same level of acting in Japan.”
Everyone looked like guests preparing for a party.
About an hour later, “Kashihi Tokyo Hotel”.
The exterior and lobby of the Kashihi Tokyo Hotel in Tokyo were buzzing like crazy. Most of them were huge reporters lined up, but hotel guests and officials also flocked to the perimeter of a hall.
Why?
There were many celebrities entering the hall one after another. Therefore, the flashes of reporters explode like crazy.
-Pabababababak!
-Pababababababababak!
Just looking at the picture reminded me of a super-large party, not a script reading. Inside the hall, many people were already seated. A square desk in the center of the spacious hall. The desks with the names of the actors on them were filled with actors, and around them were the actors’ staff and film crew.
There are dozens of reporters and officials.
Even though not all of them have arrived yet, they have easily exceeded a hundred people. The front of the square desk.
-[Iyota Kiyoshi / Kang Woo-jin]
Kang Woo-jin has not yet been seen.
At this time.
-Sue.
The two giants entered the hall alone with a large crowd.
“Director! hello!”
“Writer, nice to meet you!”
It was director Kyotaro full of gray hair and writer Akari, the original author of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ wearing glasses on the tip of his nose. With the appearance of the two, many actors and staff who were seated were busy standing up and saying hello. The concentration of reporters is also very high.
“Hahaha, yes. how are you? Author. This is the Mana Kosaku-san I told you about.”
“Of course I know. Nice to meet you, Mr. Mana.”
“It’s an honor, writer.”
Introductions and greetings are conducted dozens of times. But this didn’t last long. The reason was spit out of the mouths of ten journalists.
“Uh-uh, here you go.”
“huh?”
“President Hideki Yoshimura! He said he came over there.”
“What?!”
Because Chairman Hideki, reminiscent of an old lion, appeared with his secretaries. At his appearance, the hall quickly turned upside down. Seeing how bustling it was outside, it seemed like there was an uproar. A shower of flashes, top actors whose eyes widened, frozen staff, gossiping producers, and so on.
I didn’t know that President Hideki would really appear.
On the other hand, Chairman Hideki, who was looking around the entire hall, was full of composure. Exuding a calm force, he gave a wrinkled smile to director Kyotaro, who approached him.
“How are you, Director?”
“of course. Thank you for coming.”
Next is Chairman Hideki, who met with Akari.
“I really like your works. It’s an honor, writer.”
“I am. Thank you for renting the place.”
“I am looking forward to reading ‘Familiar’ as a book as well.”
Then, President Hideki shook hands with the main actors. Well, he didn’t mean to, but he was overpowering everyone. It was quite a presence. Indeed, the owner of a chaebol family in the top 10 in the business world.
It was then.
“sorry.”
From the entrance of the hall, I heard unfamiliar but fluent Japanese. A man’s voice that is low yet atmospheric. Thanks to this, the eyes of Chairman Hideki and Coach Kyotaro, as well as everyone in the hall, moved.
Standing at the entrance was Kang Woo-jin, who had a calm face.
“I was a little late because the road was blocked at the airport.”
It was Woojin who took attention and attention at once, and director Kyotaro moved his feet. funny thing.
– Suck.
Chairman Hideki, who was ahead of coach Kyotaro, reached out to Kang Woo-jin first.
“I waited.”
waited? Why is Chairman Hideki? Director Kyotaro showed a strange smile of ‘as expected’, and everyone in the hall, including writer Akari, widened their eyes. I couldn’t understand why the head of a large corporation was waiting for a Korean actor he’d never seen before.
Next came Kang Woo-jin, who has a poker face.
“·······”
While holding Chairman Hideki’s hand, he calmly recited. Inside, of course.
‘Who is this old man again?’
