Overwhelmed (18)

 

‘Blood and blood woman’. No, Woojin smiled mischievously when he saw Kang Woojin’s younger sister, Kang Hyunah, behaving like her father.

‘This guy is so crazy, I really want to make fun of him.’

I like teasing people when they look like that. If you were the original Kang Woo-jin, you would ask, ‘Are you okay? ‘The face is ugly.’ It was appropriate to make a prank like that.

‘Or I’d like to tell you not to suddenly shoot your face, it’s a joke.’

Then Kang Hyun-ah will go on a rampage again. However, Woojin, who remembered the exciting feeling of hitting in the past, had to endure it. Because hundreds of fans gathered, we had to maintain solemnity. At times like this, the concept was a bit disappointing. Anyway, Woojin lowered his voice to her distraught sister.

“What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”

For now, pretend not to know. Kang Hyun-ah’s eyes grew even wider and she held out her cell phone.

“Hey, this article just appeared??”

An article that seemed to have just appeared was being printed on her cell phone.

『[Star Talk] Among the roles in the live-action version of ‘The Beast and Beauty’ announced by ‘World Disney Pictures’, actors nominated for the role of ‘Beast’ include Kang Woo-jin』

Kang Woo-jin’s expression did not change as he read the article. Because she noticed it from the beginning when she asked if Kang Hyun-ah was a candidate for the role of ‘Beast’. Perhaps ‘World Disney Pictures’ announced the candidates for the role.

‘But again, it’s a bit unexpected.’

The feeling was similar to that of ‘Cierrot’. However, as the original work of ‘The Beast and Beauty’ is loved around the world, it was clear that the impact this announcement would have had a completely different scale than that of ‘Cierrot’. Kang Woo-jin thought so too.

‘I would be surprised if there was a Korean actor among the candidates for the role of ‘Beast’.’

Woojin didn’t care about actors like him who were confirmed as candidate actors, but it was obvious even without looking at it. There must be a line of top Hollywood actors. Woojin, who had been lost in his thoughts for a moment, raised his gaze again. To her younger sister Kang Hyun-ah, gawking at her cell phone. She then answered in a nonchalant manner.

“That’s right. content of the article.”

Perhaps because the answer was given in a very low tone, Kang Hyun-ah seemed to naturally accept it.

“Oh, right? I also think my brother is a real actor candidate… Huh??!! Ma, that’s right?!!!”

I screamed loudly. Her screams echoed throughout the department store lobby. Thanks to this, the noise of the hundreds of fans gathered became several times louder. But Woojin nodded her head without any embarrassment.

“uh. “That’s right.”

“······”

Kang Hyun-ah, frozen with her eyes and mouth wide, paused for a moment and then spat out words with difficulty.

“······omg.”

At this point, the fan signing event at the department store, where hundreds of people gathered, turned upside down.

“%&^^@*!*!!”

“Woojin oppa!*%*(#(*%*(#”

“Ouch!!$*#%*#(%@)(”

Because the muttering turned into a terrifying scream and rang out. Hundreds of fans were all running around, holding their cell phones and frantically taking pictures of Woojin on the podium. A situation overflowing with excitement and frenzy. The fan signing event turned into a mess. On the other hand, Woojin maintained his strong demeanor and sat quietly in his seat.

But inside, I was a little scared.

‘Isn’t this something that suddenly attacks me?’

The reaction from hundreds of fans was so extreme. It’s natural to flinch when you see it right in front of you. Dozens of guards were struggling to block it, but it seemed like only a matter of time.

About this way.

“Woojin.”

Choi Seong-geon, who was talking to the employees in the back, approached Kang Woo-jin. He whispers softly.

“First, let’s settle the place. “We talked about it, we decided to hold the fan signing event again later and decided to skip it.”

“Yes, CEO.”

Woojin put down the fan he had lifted and stood up. As he moved, the voices of the hundreds of fans in front and the crowd clinging to the railing on the upper floor became more intense. Kang Woo-jin was about to go down the podium but suddenly stopped. He then turned to the front and gestured to hundreds of frantic fans. Asking for silence for a moment.

Woojin opened his mouth while the decibel level was significantly lowered.

“You must have come across articles or news now. ‘Cierrot’ and ‘The Beast and Beauty’. “It is true that I was selected as a candidate actor for both works.”

He continued speaking calmly.

“We will try to make it so that you can see articles about actors who have confirmed their roles, not about candidates.”

Soon, ear-piercing screams filled the department store.

after.

About halfway through the new year, Kang Woo-jin once again caused a tsunami in a country that was noisy with various issues. No, to be precise, it had to be caused by Hollywood’s ‘World Disney Pictures’. Without any warning, literally out of the blue, ‘World Disney Pictures’ announced the candidates for the main roles in ‘Beast and Beauty.’

Kang Woo-jin was listening to it inside the van.

“Thank you for your great interest in this live-action adaptation of ‘Beast and Beauty.’”

The person in charge of the briefing was Choi Seong-gun, the passenger seat. Woojin maintained his poker face, but his ears were pricked up. Of course, the same goes for the team members around you.

“I know that virtual casting for ‘Beast and Beauty’ has been going around on social media and in communities. I also regard this with great affection. Accordingly, we are announcing the official candidate actors for the main characters. First, the role of ‘Beautiful Bella’.”

From Choi Seong-gun’s words, the names of top-tier actresses in Hollywood were listed. The team members burst into laughter every time they were called one by one. Because they were such famous actors. Kang Woo-jin also reacted, although it was lukewarm compared to her teammates.

‘Ah – who was the actress you just called? ‘I heard her a lot somewhere.’

It was similar to Chris Hartnett. I know he’s famous, but the problem is that I can’t tell who he is. Then, a familiar name was called from Choi Seong-gun’s mouth.

“Miley Kara.”

oh? Miley Cara too? It was unexpected. Of course, Woojin also saw the virtual casting board floating around on the Internet. I also noticed that Miley Cara was mentioned a lot. But was it real? She had never heard it directly from her.

‘Accident? Well, I guess so?’

Several stylists joined in.

“It looks like Woojin and Miley Kara have a deep connection!”

“So, ‘The Beast and Beauty’ must have overlapped by coincidence. Right? “You haven’t heard anything, have you?”

“Yes, none.”

“But Miley Cara is a perfect fit for ‘Beautiful Bella’.”

Kang Woo-jin also sympathized. At this time, Choi Seong-gun recited the candidates for the role of ‘Beast’. As expected, top Hollywood actors were named. Among them was a pop singer who was at the peak of his popularity. finally.

“And- Kang Woo-jin.”

The team members let out screams of emotion. Meanwhile, Choi Seong-gun spoke again.

“Wow – a nuclear bomb exploded in the comments on this post.”

Everyone picked up their phones as if they were curious. The same goes for Kang Woo-jin. What he said was true. The social media post posted by ‘World Disney Pictures’ had a surprising number of comments. It is currently in progress and the language is also diverse.

‘crazy? What the fuck, really?’

Easily going through tens of thousands of comments. Kang Woo-jin skimmed through the comments. What can I say, it was muddy. As expected, there were several times more cursing right now. Well, this was the picture that Woojin had expected, so it was no big deal. However, Choi Seong-gun and his team members’ expressions were dark.

“······I was prepared, but – is this serious?”

Kang Woo-jin changed the outcome of the search. First, access the country’s No. 1 search site. As soon as her page was launched, Kang Woo-jin’s face was featured on the front page of the news.

『Kang Woo-jin is one of the nominated actors for the live-action adaptation of ‘Beast and Beauty’!』

All of the articles listed below had Kang Woo-jin’s name on them.

Who would have expected that Kang Woo-jin’s name would be included in the work that everyone remembers?

Afterwards, the media and various domestic media began to cover this issue independently.

-Am I the only one who has Kang Woo-jin’s name among popular Hollywood actors??

-Why are you only praising? I find it a bit absurd haha ​​To be honest, Kang Woo-jin doesn’t really suit the role of the beast.

-↑ㅇㅈRight now, I’m getting cursed at Disney overseas with this lol.

-What kind of bullshit are you talking about? The role hasn’t been confirmed yet, it’s just that I’ve been nominated.

Naturally, there is extreme polarization.

-Disney… If you get a role, you’ll get a lot of recognition… You’ll probably get criticized just as much… Hot potato…

-no!! everyone!! A Korean actor is spreading influence in Hollywood, so why are they criticizing him? We should cheer!!

– Ignorance-like people are always criticizing me to no end lol. There is no need for anything else. If Kang Woo-jin crushes them with his skills, it will be resolved.

-But it really gives me goosebumps haha. I can’t even imagine if Kang Woo-jin eats both Clown and the Beast and Beauty…

-Is Kang Woo-jin’s synchronization okay? Wouldn’t it be even better if it was with Kara? The vocals are good, and the acting is terrible, right?

This atmosphere lasted for several days. The burning fire is fierce. A nuclear bomb was also dropped on Kang Woo-jin’s SNS and YouTube channels. It was no exaggeration to say that most of the public, including the domestic entertainment industry and everyone who knew Woojin, including actors and directors, was talking about Kang Woojin.

『[Issue check] All the media and public opinion are talking about is Kang Woo-jin, and even though he has had a big scoop since the new year, Kang Woo-jin is quiet』

Of course, the Japanese side was also in an uproar.

“Did you hear?? Kang Woo-jin has been confirmed as a candidate for the live-action adaptation of ‘Beast and Beauty’ by ‘World Disney Pictures’!”

“Ehh?? really? Isn’t that ‘clown’??”

“what? Isn’t the news too late? ‘Clierrot’ and ‘Beast and Beauty’ are both confirmed!”

“Isn’t that amazing?! “I saw ‘Leech’ a few days ago!”

“Ah, Kang Woo-jin, why don’t you appear as a guest?”

Woojin’s story appeared frequently in Japanese entertainment shows, and similarly to Korea, the media was also full of his stories. Although there was a difference in temperature, the Japanese public was also boiling over the topic of Kang Woo-jin.

And this topic goes beyond Hollywood.

『[Overseas Topic] Kang Woo-jin’s name spreading in LA, etc., public opinion is divided between whether it suits ‘Beast and Beauty’ or not.』

It was spreading around the world.

A few days later, on the 18th. DM Productions.

The large editing room of DM Productions, which produced ‘Beneficial Evil’. It is full of musty smell. In such an editing room, tired editors are sitting together in a huddle.

“······”

“······”

They were all silently staring at the front where there were several monitors. Stopped except for breathing. However, the bearded man sitting in the middle of them was moving. It was producer Song Man-woo.

-Crack, crack.

He operates the editing device smoothly. Meanwhile, his beard grew longer and the dark circles under his eyes became several times darker. Even as Woojin’s name spread beyond Korea and around the world, producer Song Man-woo remained focused without wavering.

-♬♪

The song was played in the editing room and then turned off. Kang Woo-jin’s face appeared on the monitors and then stopped. Producer Song Man-woo was operating the devices alone for several tens of minutes.

-Sigh.

Suddenly, he leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

“H-whatever.”

The editors swallowed their saliva and looked at him, and producer Song Man-woo poured dry face wash on his face with both hands. Approximately a few seconds. Then, producer Song Man-woo took out his cell phone and made a call somewhere. The signal is short. He opened his mouth as if the other person had received it.

“Yes, general director.”

On the other side of the cell phone was Netflix Korea’s Kim So-hyang, and Woojin’s name was being splashed around the world, whether positive or negative.

“Editing is complete.”

Preparations for the sortie of ‘Beneficial Evil’ have been completed.
