‘Universal Movies’ used the official SNS as an official announcement.

-[Hello, this is ‘Universal Movies.’ We bring you new news. The title of the new film directed by Danny Landis is ‘John Persona’. We ask for your interest. In addition, in relation to the male lead actor who has been talked about for a long time, ‘Universal Movies’ has decided to work with actor Kang Woo-jin for this ‘John Persona’. I have high expectations from him…]

The official YouTube channel and media outlets of ‘Universal Movies’ followed suit.

『LA TIME/’Universal Movies’ “The title of the new work is ‘John ​​Persona’, Kang Woo-jin confirmed as the male lead”』

『ABY/’Universal Movies’ announced the title of the work for the first time, and the casting rumor for Kang Woo-jin was true!』

Hollywood quickly became noisy. It was natural. First of all, this was the case with ‘John Persona’, the first film in which director Danny Landis did not write the script himself, but it was also because of the story of Kang Woo-jin, who had been making a lot of noise for about a few weeks.

『Korean actor Kang Woo-jin confirmed to work with BBX/Director Danny Landis! 3 of Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’ confirmed, setting a new record』

From ‘Columbia Studios’ and ‘World Disney Pictures’ to ‘Universal Movies’. Kang Woo-jin took on the role of the male lead in the new films of three major Hollywood film companies. As soon as Woojin appeared in Hollywood, at almost the same time.

There has never been an actor in Hollywood who achieved such a feat.

It was a natural trend for the overseas public, including foreign media, to be excited about the Korean actor who set such an incredible record. This seemingly absurd news quickly spread beyond Hollywood and around the world.

Once again, Kang Woo-jin’s name was burned everywhere.

Foreign media generally conveyed facts and shocks, but global public opinion had diverse responses.

Does that make sense? How can this happen? What kind of magic did Kang Woojin do? Of course he won it with his skills, right? He saw the article and couldn’t believe my eyes, etc. Because the overseas public had different images of Kang Woo-jin, the reactions to him were half positive and half negative.

The world quickly became turbulent, and there was no way Korea could be quiet.

『[Official] The title of the new ‘Universal Movies’ movie is ‘John Persona’, and the male lead is confirmed to be ‘Kang Woo-jin’』

『The rumors were true! Kang Woo-jin, working with Hollywood master ‘Director Danny Landis’ as the male lead』

The issue of Kang Woo-jin, who even appeared on ‘Universal Movies’, spread at lightning speed in Korea.

The public goes crazy.

-Wow….crazy….are you serious??

– Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I can’t help but admire it.

-Kang Woo-jin is really good.

-What happened?? There was no mention of Kang Woo-jin auditioning, right? Isn’t it a joke?

-Ah, it’s official. The source is Universal’s official SNS.

-Shiba, does this work?

-Kang Woo-jin’s attitude is so stupid that I laugh out loud.

-Then the famous producer who came to Korea the other day really came to see Kang Woo-jin!!!

-Signed as a male lead with 3 of Hollywood’s Big Five… My breasts are getting bigger

-But is this a possible schedule???

-By far, Kang Woo-jin is now at a level that not even Hollywood actors can match hahahaha.

However, Kang Woo-jin receives enormous congratulations from over 100 staff and actors at the ‘Beneficial Evil’ set complex in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do.

“and!! Woojin! really?!! Is it real?! oh my god!!”

“congratulations!! “It’s truly a legend!!”

“Huh-how did things end up like this?? “Is that what I saw?!”

“Woojin is completely destroying Hollywood!! congratulation!!”

“I never thought I would see something like this in my lifetime…”

There was no significant change in emotions. Just bow your head moderately in a low tone.

“thank you.”

Although the concepts were mixed, Kang Woo-jin, who had the same intention, felt the same way. He was already in contact with Joseph Felton, and as soon as he received the official script for ‘John Persona’, he knew when it would be released. Well, of course, I was a little embarrassed to see my colleagues happy.

‘I like it so much, I’m a little embarrassed – should I go to subspace for a moment?’

For a moment, he thought about evacuating to subspace, but Kang Woo-jin decided to watch their happiness for now. Their facial expressions had an energy similar to that of first place at the World Cup, a global festival. In addition, Kang Woo-jin’s cell phone also caught fire.

-Ugh.

-Ugh.

-Ugh.

A constant vibration. Many people, including those in Korea, Japan, and even Hollywood, are sending congratulations. All day long, a half-crazy festival atmosphere was created around Korea and Kang Woo-jin.

Of course, it wasn’t a power that would fade away in a day or two.

-Sure.

On the same night, Kang Woo-jin, who was resting on the slightly calmed set of ‘Beneficial Evil’, entered subspace. I also had to list the newly arrived ‘John Persona’ and take a break. Anyway, as soon as Woojin arrived at the endlessly dark place.

“Let’s see – has anything changed?”

It immediately moved to a white square. The last white square with the text changed from before.

‘John ​​Persona’ was S-class.

-[13/Scenario (Title: John Persona), SSS level]

-[*This is a highly complete movie scenario. 100% reading is possible.]

It had been upgraded two levels to SSS level.

Then, Kang Woo-jin, who came out of subspace, smiled to himself and muttered softly.

“Isn’t this supposed to be cheap for EX level?”

Meanwhile, on the LA side.

A statue that is more than three times the size of the person seen in front of a large building. To be exact, this is where the trophy statue of the ‘Primetime Emmy Awards’, the broadcasting industry’s ‘Academy Awards’, was erected.

That is, the Academy of Television Arts (ATAS) building, which hosts the ‘Emmy Awards’.

After collecting numerous works, their central figures gathered in a large meeting room. There is no clear date yet, but this year’s ‘Primetime Emmy Awards’ are scheduled to be officially held in August, so it was natural for it to be busy.

For reference, although it was not officially announced, the ‘Primetime Emmy Awards’ had already completed the selection of works to be officially nominated through the votes of numerous judging members.

“The cleanup is finished.”

“Then all that remains is the announcement of the officially nominated works.”

Hence the Academy of Television Arts (ATAS) personalities.

“Okay, let’s set up a presentation within this week.”

The announcement of the selected candidate works was completed.

backwards.

As the issue power of the movie ‘John Persona’ skyrocketed, Kang Woo-jin’s schedule, which was already hell, became more than twice as busy. The filming of Part 2 of ‘Beneficial Evil’ was the default, and it also featured on the front page of a famous magazine overseas, as well as several domestic schedules. There were many foreign media companies that came to Korea to interview Kang Woo-jin.

The worldwide interest is at the level of a nuclear bomb, so it is a natural progression.

At this point, it’s not surprising that the bridge of your nose is sky-high.

‘Wow – I’m crazy, I’m crazy. Just stay still. First, I have to film ‘Beneficial Evil’ and also have reading experience for ‘John Persona.’

There was no significant change in Woojin’s feelings. Because my mind is full of projects to be filmed in the future. In the meantime, BW Entertainment’s global power has become enormous.

Meanwhile, Hollywood works related to Kang Woo-jin were also being steadily prepared.

‘John Persona’, which has barely decided on the title and male lead, has entered the beginning of pre-production. The male lead was confirmed as Kang Woo-jin, but the remaining actors were undecided. So, first we had to come up with a list of actors.

Of course, ‘The Beast and Beauty’ is also busy.

『LA TIME/Kang Woo-jin, Miley Kara complete two tops, spurring casting of remaining actors for ‘Beast and Beauty’』

Set construction for ‘The Beast and Beauty’ was expected to take a particularly long time. Because it is an original animation, filming cannot be done in real locations. In other words, the construction of the 50,000 pyeong ‘spt studio’ set had to be completed first, and since there was a lot of work to do, from special makeup to CG, it was expected to take a very long time.

Still, casting is in the final stages.

On the other hand, the one that showed the fastest speed was ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’.

『CNM/When will the script reading for ‘Cinematic Universe’, which has completed casting of actors, be held for ‘Clierrot: Birth of a Villain’, including the male lead Kang Woo-jin?』

For ‘Clierrot: Birth of a Villain,’ which was initially started and planned the fastest compared to other works, the casting of all actors, including Kang Woo-jin and Chris Hartnett, had already been completed. Of course, pre-production, handled by director Gabok Ang, is also in its final stages. The system is completely different from Korea, but coach Ang Bok’s seasoned experience and ability shortened his time considerably.

Currently, director Ga-bok Ang is in the process of deciding on the shooting schedule for Ga-an and organizing the remaining location hunting.

‘Phew – I guess we’ll be able to post the script reading within May.’

The script reading for ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ has arrived.

A few days later, May 8th.

Late in the morning, around 11 o’clock. The location was the headquarters of Netflix Korea in Korea. A conference room with posters of numerous hits and the recently added ‘Beneficial Evil’. Currently, Kang Woo-jin was sitting in the middle of the L-shaped desk in the conference room with a cynical look on his face.

“······”

Although the sense of composure and weight was created with a strong concept, I am quite nervous on the inside.

‘Huh-what took so long??’

Next to Woojin was Choi Seong-gun.

And around him were the core members of ‘Beneficial Evil’, including bearded producer Song Man-woo and writer Choi Nana. What’s unusual is that everyone’s faces are quite serious. It’s full of tension. Producer Song Man-woo was tapping the desk with his index finger repeatedly, as if he was nervous, and writer Choi Nana, who had a soft nature, had been taking deep breaths since earlier.

The other personnel were the same.

Each person was expressing their nervousness by shaking their legs or constantly looking at their cell phones. At this time, Choi Seong-geon, who had tied his ponytail properly again, looked around at his surroundings.

-Sigh.

I whispered into the ear of Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting next to me.

“What do you think will happen?”

“I’m surprised,” Kang Woo-jin said, flinching but not making an effort to show it.

“well.”

“Aren’t you nervous? Oh, no. There’s no way you’d be nervous.”

I thought to myself, ‘I’m nervous?’ Kang Woo-jin, who recited the truth, made eye contact with producer Song Man-woo across from him. Producer Song Man-woo said nothing and just smiled faintly. It was a forced laugh. Producer Song Man-woo, who already had a high reputation but became even more famous with ‘Beneficial Evil’ and has a lot of experience, did not stop beating.

So why?

Why is the entire ‘Beneficial Evil’ team, which is currently filming, at Netflix Korea at this time? Even Kang Woo-jin.

The answer to this is.

-Suddenly!!

General director Kim So-hyang, who had recently lost some weight, suddenly appeared through the conference room door and was about to speak. She must have been running or something, but she emerged breathing a little heavily. As soon as she appeared, producer Song Man-woo and writer Choi Nana jumped up, and Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-geon quickly turned their heads to Kim So-hyang.

Of course, the dozens of people in this conference room were all similar.

“The presentation is over.”

General Director Kim So-hyang recited with an ambiguous face, whether smiling or expressionless.

In fact, she had just confirmed the candidates for this year’s official nominations announced by the ‘Emmy Awards’ on its official website and online live broadcast. In other words, it was the moment when the ‘Emmy Award’ of ‘Beneficial Evil’, which was selected as a strong candidate by foreign media, and which had been held in secret the whole time, was decided by Kim So-hyang.

Kim So-hyang’s gaze then shifted from Kang Woo-jin to producer Song Man-woo.

And then he laughed sarcastically.

“That’s Okay! ‘Beneficial Evil’ is officially nominated for this year’s Emmy Awards!”

As soon as I heard the answer, a loud sound rang out in the conference room. Because the entire ‘Beneficial Evil’ team, including producer Song Man-woo and writer Choi Nana, cried out.

“Kaaaa!! okay!! “It has to be like this!”

“yes!! it’s okay!!”

“Aaaah!! really?!! really?!!”

It was definitely worth it. This is because it was the first of many non-English language dramas to be nominated for the ‘Emmy Awards’, which boasts the highest authority in the world of broadcasting. This was a sad event not only for Korea but also for all of Asia.

However, as if this was not the end, Kim So-hyang said something more to the frantic teams.

“It’s not just a nomination! ‘Beneficial Evil’ was nominated in 10 categories!!”

“W-what?!! “What is that!”

“Are you serious?! “It made it to 10 categories??!”

Lastly, the smile of general director Kim So-hyang, who made eye contact with Kang Woo-jin, who was the only one sitting indifferently.

“Among those 10 categories, there is also Kang Woo-jin.”

It became several times darker.

“Woojin is one of the five candidates for the Best Actor Award in the Drama category!! You know? “This is a first for all Asian actors!”

Next to Khan was the ‘Emmy Awards’. But Kang Woo-jin’s expression was grave.

“······”

But deep inside, there was a burning question mark.

‘Eh??’
