I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 172
Only Krnovel
Seriously, Kang Woo-jin did not know who the Japanese grandfather was in front of him. He had the feeling that something was flowing, but it was ambiguous.
‘Sup- I think I’ve seen it somewhere. Anyway, I don’t know.’
The atmosphere itself is similar to director Ahn Ga-bok’s, but the smell emitted by this grandfather is harsher. Woojin came to a rough conclusion.
‘Are you from the production team? Like a cinematographer? So you said you waited for me?’
It was an obvious error, but Kang Woo-jin’s appearance was not at all strange. Chairman Hideki is famous only in Japan, but he is unfamiliar to Kang Woo-jin. Even in Korea, only those in the know knew, and it was natural that the general public did not know Chairman Hideki. However, Kang Woo-jin had definitely seen Chairman Hideki before.
He doesn’t seem to remember, but Woojin had seen a picture of President Hideki in a past article.
It was a time when the ‘unfamiliar parasitic’ fell into crisis and was revived as a knight. At the time when ‘Familiar Parasitic’ was a hot topic in Japan and Korea, Kang Woo-jin also saw Chairman Hideki’s face as if passing by. However, since he saw it very lightly, it did not become deeply embedded in his mind.
On the other hand, Choi Seong-geon, standing behind Woo-jin, had his eyes widened. Because I recognized President Hideki exactly.
‘Mmm, crazy. President Hideki Yoshimura. Didn’t this gentleman really come?’
Choi Seong-gun was Kang Woo-jin’s main manager and a businessman at the same time. He knew Chairman Hideki even before the Kashihi Group got involved with ‘Unfamiliars’. Of course, this was the first time they had met face to face.
‘I couldn’t believe that I was having a script reading at this hotel- I didn’t expect President Hideki to really show up.’
Here, Seong-gun Choi stood a little certain. The Kashihi Group may have been the one who saved the ‘familiar’. That’s the main investor. Although the Kashihi Group has not yet made an official statement, there is something related to Chairman Hideki and ‘parasites’. Whether it’s director Kyotaro or writer Akari.
‘First of all, from the script reading at a hotel owned by the Kashihi Group… But you said you were waiting for Woojin? For what?’
soon.
-Sue.
Kang Woo-jin, recognizing Chairman Hideki as a cinematographer, lowered his head slightly, and spat out low Japanese.
“Sorry, as I said, the road is blocked at the airport. Nice to meet you, this is Kang Woo-jin.”
In fluent Japanese, the actors and staff around me whispered.
“・・・・・・You speak Japanese better than I thought?”
“Iknow, right. If you don’t tell me you’re Korean, I won’t know.”
I saw it in ‘Ametoke Show!’ Kang Woo-jin was a bit burdened by that situation. He was all staring at himself and at the grandfather in front of him. Reporters were busy taking pictures. Later on, it will be thrown to the extent of meeting Kang Woo-jin and President Hideki.
at that time.
“hmm.”
Chairman Hideki, who was brushing his chin, said to Kang Woo-jin with a wrinkled smile.
“You seem to be much more fluent in Japanese than I’ve seen on TV. I enjoyed seeing you sign language.”
sign language? Ah- have you seen ‘Ametoke Show!’? Kang Woo-jin responded moderately.
“thank you.”
Then Chairman Hideki took a step closer to Woojin and lowered his voice. To the point where I can’t hear it very well.
“My grandson really likes Mr. Kang Woo-jin. To the extent that it became a dream.”
“···Is that so?”
“Kang Woo-jin changed my grandson’s life.”
Chairman Hideki suddenly brings up the story of his grandson. He gave Woojin a gentle smile.
“Thank you, sincerely. That child is everything to me.”
no, all of a sudden? Kang Woo-jin was embarrassed inside. There was no explanation before and after, so he didn’t even feel it. However, he didn’t really ask. He just didn’t feel the need to go deep. At this time, director Kyotaro, who was watching the conversation between the two and was scratching his gray hair, slipped in.
“Mr. Woojin, this is the president of the Kashihi Group, Hideki Yoshimura.”
Originally, I had to say that I was the main investor of the introduction theory ‘Familiar’, but because there are many eyes to see, Kyotaro had to change his words. Because it is the job of President Hideki to formally reveal it.
“You rented a hotel here.”
As soon as he heard the word Kashihi Group, something flashed in Woojin’s mind, and Choi Seong-gun, who stood behind him, whispered close to him. It was only at this time that Kang Woo-jin recognized that the grandfather in front of him was the owner of a conglomerate family in Japan.
‘Wow, yes! That’s right! I saw it in an article!’
So what? Although he was clearly aware of his grandfather’s existence, Woo-jin’s inspiration was not very great. Isn’t it? I didn’t really want to keep looking at it, it was just a little strange. Around this time, director Kyotaro gestured to Woojin.
“Woojin greets the actors first.”
“Okay, then.”
President Hideki spoke to Kang Woo-jin leisurely.
“I am looking forward to acting today.”
“thank you.”
When Woo-jin, who threw a closing greeting, turned around, he heard Choi Seong-geon’s whisper.
“I also fall into the back seat.”
By the time Choi Seong-gun was away from Woo-jin, President Hideki, director Kyotaro, and writer Akari were posing for reporters. Flash baptism exploded like lightning and Kang Woo-jin put the entire hall in his eyes.
‘It’s so big.’
Large enough to easily accommodate hundreds of people. A square-shaped desk was placed in the middle. Woo Jin-eun was checking the name tag on the K-shaped desk where the script reading was going to take place.
-[Iyota Kiyoshi / Kang Woo-jin]
I checked my name written in Japanese. The first seat right next to the head seat. And I checked the actors gathered around it. A man with a braid, a woman with big eyes, a woman with long hair, a man with perfect features, a woman with a small face, and so on. At least ten actors were all watching Kang Woo-jin.
strange. But it wasn’t uncomfortable.
Soon, Kang Woo-jin lightly bowed to the actors.
“Hello, this is Kang Woo-jin.”
Japanese actors also politely greeted Kang Woo-jin in natural Japanese.
“Nice to meet you, Mana Kosaku.”
“I missed you! I am Uramatsu Mifuyu!!”
“nice to see you. My name is Yasuta Ogimoto.”
“You speak Japanese very well. I enjoyed watching ‘Boyfriend’, this is Kimiko Sunamura.”

Many Japanese names are thrown. They seem to know each other well, but only Kang Woo-jin is a stranger in this hall. Kang Woo-jin is used to being a top Korean actor, but realizes that it is impossible to remember the names of all the actors here.
‘Yeah, let’s just act. When am I memorizing that?’
After greeting the main actors, Woojin greeted the supporting actors in the back.
-Attic.
sat down in his seat. She didn’t really have a conversation with the actors. She was out of her mind. Focusing on concept quality is a top priority. As a result, Japanese top actors have small, small conversations while moving to their seats.
“You’re very reticent, Mr. Kang Woo-jin.”
“Or maybe I just haven’t gotten used to it yet.”
“Ah, it’s awkward, because they’re all Japanese.”
“I was nervous, so what if I get a line wrong?”
“Did you say it was still a year later? It’s amazing, but I’m worried.”
“I liked Hanryang’s acting in ‘Namsachin’.”
“But it will be my first time acting in Japanese, so I was really nervous more than anything.”
The big-eyed, generally high-tension actress who introduced herself as Uramatsu Mifuyura tilted her head.
“Eh- nervous? Does everyone look like that? I’m not. There’s no way a nervous person could have such a wonderful voice.”
“Ha, Mifuyu. Are you looking for your ideal type after coming to the script reading?”
“That’s not it, I’m saying that Kang Woo-jin has no tremors in his tone! Not even shaking hands!”
“Then I’m glad I-”
At this time.
“everyone.”
After talking with Chairman Hideki, coach Kyotaro spoke to the entire audience.
“I’ll start in 10 minutes after tidying up, go to the bathroom now.”
The script reading of ‘Unfamiliar Parasitic’ was ignited.
after a while
More than a hundred people, who had been herded here and there, found their seats and sat down. Director Kyotaro and writer Akari are at the top of the desk, with dozens of actors on either side of the desk, staff, production crew, officials, and even reporters covering the square-shaped desk.
Note that.
“·······”
Chairman Hideki sat in a seat where he could see Kang Woo-jin’s face, and Choi Seong-gun put his butt on the chair on the back of Woo-jin’s head.
The atmosphere is solemn.
What broke that solemnity.
-Dreuk.
“Hello, I am Kyotaro Tanoguchi, the director of ‘Familiar Parasitic’. I will leave it up to you.”
It was director Kyotaro, a Japanese master, and he looked at the writer Akari, who was sitting to his left. her introduction.
“hello. I am thrilled to be able to see the characters of ‘Unfamiliar Parasitic’, which I risked my life to write, in front of my eyes. Thanks to everyone.”
Akari Takikawa, a world-renowned writer, bowed her head sincerely. Director Kyotaro then fixed his gaze on the actor in front of him to his right. It was Kang Woo-jin.
“Nice to meet you, this is Kang Woo-jin, who plays Kiyoshi Iyota.”
Fluent Japanese, but short and clear. Choi Seong-geon, who was sitting in the back, was thrilled.
‘K- Woojin is the first to be introduced, beating out the actors who are famous in Japan. It kills me.’
It was a scene where we could see how much director Kyotaro cares for Woojin. Kiyoshi Iyota was also a very important role.
anyway.
“I’m Mana Kosagu, I’m in charge of ‘Yoshizawa Mochio’. It draws well.”
“Hello, I’m Mifuyu Uramatsu, who plays ‘Ami Horinochi’!!”
“I’m Kimiko Sunamura, and I played the role of ‘Saki Iiya’.”
The actors’ introductions and applause continue. As the amount of investment that went into ‘Familiar Parasitic’ was large, there were many actors who appeared in it. The proportion of top actors and A-level actors is also large. The actor introduction alone lasts for over 30 minutes. at the end of it.
-Sue.
At the far end of the seat, a short-haired actress shyly got up and introduced herself.
“Oh, hello. My name is Kimi Nakajo. I took on the role of ‘Misaki Toka’, I will learn a lot. Please take good care of me.”
An actor with fair skin and a lack of self-confidence. I feel like I’m a rookie. In fact, Nakajo Kimi was hit by her newcomer, who was in her second year of debut. She is making a name for herself as a very popular rookie in Japan. Thanks to that, Kimi was able to get through the terrifying audition and take on the role of ‘Misaki Toka’.
‘Misaki Toka’ had a small role, but it was a very important role in ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’.
Because he is the person who will be the trigger for ‘Kiyoshi Iyota’, which Kang Woo-jin will play. Seeing Tohka take her own life, Kiyoshi draws up a list of revenge. Such Kimi was in the midst of her tension exploding.
‘Hu- I finished the greeting.’
All of them are great seniors, and the director and writer are also legendary figures. Even hundreds of officials around. In my heart, I wanted to run away right away.
at that time.
‘······uh?’
Kimmy, who raised her gaze, was a little surprised. why? It was because Kang Woo-jin, who was in the front row, was looking at him. Our eyes met each other. Most of Kimi’s acting is with Woojin Kang. Therefore, Kimi was very interested in a Korean actor named Kang Woo-jin. She also watched both ‘Nam Sa Chin’ and ‘Han Ryang’.
As a result, it was great. Kimmy felt that way.
Even that Korean actor is now in his first year. But the gap was far. Kang Woo-jin was the lead role sitting right next to director Kyotaro, and Kimi was the minor/secondary role sitting at the far end. Why is Kang Woo-jin paying attention to himself when no one pays much attention to him?
‘What, what is it? Should I say hello?’
In the middle of the actor introduction, Kimi awkwardly bowed to Kang Woo-jin. Woojin also accepts it lightly. however.
‘Why… the gaze.’
Kimi feels that Kang Woo-jin’s eyes are empty. It was a plain look, without showing any emotion. She is a face that is difficult to express in words. Why is that Korean actor looking at me with that kind of face?
ignore? Or side?
It was then.
– Palak.
“Start.”
Director Kyotaro’s serious Japanese words spread throughout the reading room. Accordingly, Akari writer as well as all the actors unfolded the scenario. Of course, director Kyotaro was in charge of the fingerprinting and progress.
“S#1. Inside the classroom, several students are bullying a male student. However, the face of the male student lying on the floor is blunt.”
In the scenario, there are quite a few scenes where many students bully ‘Iyota Kiyoshi’ at first. This part is necessary to build Kiyoshi’s narrative, but since there are no sound effects or minor roles in the reading, director Kyotaro appropriately handled it as a fingerprint. Therefore, Kang Woo-jin’s early scene is also skipped.
In between, the lines of the main actors continue briefly.
“Hey- Kiyoshi! Stand up straight, straight up.”
Along with the lines, the names of the characters are also known as fingerprints. Conflict begins in earnest when transfer student Tohka Misaki appears.
“S#18. Toka Misaki, who broke through the crowd of students, shouts out to everyone.”
When her turn came, Kimmy swallowed and shouted loudly.
“stop! Don’t do it, do you guys enjoy this?”
Tohka spoke to Kiyoshi.
“are you okay?”
Now it’s Woojin Kang’s turn. Kimmy turned her head and looked at Woojin in the front seat. at the same time.
“!!!”
felt.
Sight. That the eyes that Woojin now has are the same as the one he was looking at earlier. Empty, invisible eyes. Yes, Kang Woo-jin did not ignore her Kimi.
‘······Have you been Kiyoshi since before? As Kiyoshi, Tokain saw me.’
He was Kiyoshi from before. Come to think of it, Kang Woo-jin’s devastated eyes were no different from Kiyoshi’s. It was just like the ‘stranger’ in the scenario. No, it was even more vivid. Kimmy felt a goosebump on her forearm for a moment. So did the fight on her back.
‘Yeah, but so fast? No one knows??’
when? Since when was he Kiyoshi?
The answer was simple.
“·······”
Kang Woo-jin, who is looking at Kimi now, was Kiyoshi long before the actors were introduced. He already had about 100 staff members, but the production team had been erased. There is no president Hideki or coach Kyotaro. It was just a world full of bad guys and classrooms full of nasty bullying.
but that’s okay It wasn’t even painful. Woojin just exists here. mind is dead
Dozens of actors and hundreds of people could not have noticed. Obviously, the smell is Kiyoshi, but Kiyoshi is a person who has nothing. On the contrary, the fact that the people around him notice is not showing Kiyoshi properly.
Kang Woo-jin was the current Kiyoshi himself.
Showing unwavering eyes and thoughtless movements, Kang Woo-jin saw Kimi at the end. Only one was visible in the empty eyes.
question.
“I’m fine.”
Why is that woman covering me?
It was this moment. Woojin Kang. No, from director Kyotaro when Kiyoshi’s first voice spread throughout.
‘Nothing was posted, I don’t see the slightest hint of emotion in the lines. Having no emotions is Kiyoshi’s emotions. How can I do such a detailed expression so easily?’
Of course, the big-eyed Akari writer.
‘·······My heart trembles. Kiyoshi, to be able to see Kiyoshi right in front of you.’
Japanese actors widened their pupils while watching Kang Woo-jin. Because I noticed Kiyoshi’s existence. Woojin was looking at Kimi at the end. But she can’t figure out why she’s watching.
Kiyoshi shakes his head slightly.
It was strange. Obviously, the eyes, nose, leaves, and breathing are all working normally, but Kang Woo-jin had a strange dryness running through his body. Then, Tohka asked Kiyoshi.
“Do you want to eat lunch together?”
Kiyoshi answered simply.
“If only you are okay.”
“Okay then! Let’s go to the roof.”
“okay.”
While talking, Kang Woo-jin endlessly looked at Toka.
“ah! Kiyoshi, don’t you have a lunch box? Do you usually only eat bread?”
“normally.”
“Would you like to eat my lunch box?”
“I will.”
No purpose, no affection. But Kiyoshi reacts. She talks to Tohka. He looks right at her. Slowly and gradually, Japanese actors who saw Woo-jin began to feel a sense of difference. There were also those who were shocked.
That was the case with Mana Kosaku, who sat across from Kang Woo-jin, with her long hair pinned up with a headband.
‘how······’
It was not a level of control or moderation. I am now a new Korean actor.
‘Why can an actor get rid of emotions?’
I intentionally deleted my emotions.
