I will live as an actor Episode 131
There is a saying that silencing the people’s mouths is more difficult than silencing a river. This meant that public opinion was difficult to block. The effect of the press conference held by Chungmuro’s greats gathered together and created an even bigger reaction than the current.
-A bunch of hyenas looking for a scoop. We can’t just sit back and watch like this!
-The victim cries and the perpetrator laughs.
– BS Entertainment CEO Yang Soo-gap begins arrest investigation by prosecutors!
-The prosecution search and seizure of the BS Entertainment office building in the middle of the night!
People are coming together and raising their voices. There was already a protest march in front of the press office in Yeouido denouncing the reporters who had acted so rudely. The ripple effect of the press conference, which was broadcast live, was enormous. Even broadcasters included news criticizing reporters in the nine o’clock news headlines.
“It’s not like a dog with poop on it is a dog with bran on it, that’s right.”
CEO Seonghwan Kim clicked his tongue. Isn’t that why the broadcaster, who had moved with one mind and one purpose with the reporters, quickly changed his stance when he sensed public opinion?
“I don’t like the broadcasters. It’s not like a bat, it’s stuck here and there. If this is a way of life for adults to survive, there’s nothing we can do about it. I don’t know what England is talking about when they call you here.”
CEO Kim Seong-hwan got nervous and turned off the television. England’s eyes widened when he saw his face reflected in the blackout cathode ray tube. Because the dark shadow that had been on my face for a while seemed to have disappeared a little.
“England, are you really not going to go on a reward vacation?”
“.......”
“You didn’t go to SBC the other day either. I heard you couldn’t go back then because of conflicting schedules, but not now. Wouldn’t it be such a waste?”
“It’s okay and I go to that school.”
“Oh, look at my mind. Still, if two of the main characters miss the reward vacation...”
“I told PD Yu right away. It would be difficult to miss a week of schedule due to school. In fact, it would be difficult to miss the plane. “I don’t like it that much.”
“What do you think? I’ve only flown domestic flights at most, so if anyone hears me, they’ll think I’ve flown a lot of international flights.”
England gives a small smile and shrugs. When I think back to my past life experiences, I was really sick of international flights. Not only did I travel abroad, but I often went to resorts as a reward vacation for dramas.
“But why did you call me today?”
“England.”
CEO Seonghwan Kim takes a forward stance.
“Let’s take a break from work for a while.”

The storm-like incident has passed, but the university is still peaceful. In Cheongdam, students are gathered in small groups to enjoy lunch, and some are seen enjoying their youth by playing the guitar under a falling old tree. Even as I walk around the campus, CEO Seonghwan Kim’s voice still lingers in my head.
-I did it because I thought you wouldn’t listen if I didn’t say it forcefully. Look at it now. As soon as England comes to your agency, they start by reviewing the synopsis for your next project. If I were like other actors, if I finished a work well, I would get drunk on the atmosphere and have fun for a while. How come it seems like England is annoyed that you can’t act?
-.......
– As the CEO of an agency, it’s funny to say this to an actor, but I wish he would take a break from working on projects for a while. No matter how good your stamina is and how good your energy is, isn’t it human to know when you’ll run out of energy? Even when I cook rice, I put it on hold for no reason. As the rice is steamed, the rice grains become sticky and lose their luster. I hope the UK will give you some time off for a while. This is a story that England tells you as a man who cares for you before being the CEO of an agency.
take a break
It was like hearing this story for the first time during my career as an actor. After all, there has never been a case where an agency representative said something like this to an actor. If you think about it, you played a lot of roles at a young age. CEO Kim Seong-hwan’s advice to enjoy one’s school days is meaningless.
impatience.
I was suspicious that it might be sinusitis. No matter how hard it is to smell one’s own scent, if the smell of sweat is this strong, it would be impossible to not notice it.
Moreover, aren’t your knees and elbows full of dirt? Just looking at his appearance, you could say he was a physical education student and not a law student. At that time, Dongjin Kim opens the classroom door and says.
“You’re young!”
As I look at Dongjin Kim’s back as he enters the classroom, smelling of sweat, I burst out laughing. For some reason, when I walk around with this person, I feel like I am not actor Jang Young-guk, but college student Jang Young-guk.
* * *
Following CEO Kim Seong-hwan’s advice to take a break, I am listening to the lecture as college student Jang Young-guk. At the podium, an old professor with bright eyes is giving a lecture.
“Among the current laws, there are still many that need to be improved. For example, there are those related to unauthorized treatment by medical personnel. As the summer season approaches, many people will go to the valley to play in the water, and it is also a place where various accidents often occur. .”
Even if I try to concentrate in the lecture, I can’t. The reason was simple. The smell of sweat stinging my nose made me dizzy.
As time goes by, the smell of sweat gets worse, perhaps due to fermentation. Whether he knows it or not, Kim Dong-jin still has a smile on his face and doesn’t even think about changing his uniform. At that time, someone stabs me in the side and hands me a note.
‘Give it to him.’
Jaehee Shin points to Dongjin Kim with a nod. When I glanced at the contents of the note, it was as expected.
[Kim Dong-jin, you bastard, are you going to spread rumors around the neighborhood that you played rugby? I quickly changed my clothes and thought this was a playground!]
I was so angry that I could clearly feel my anger even in the handwriting scrawled on the note.
“For example, in one of the rulings, a young man who visited the valley to play in the water had a heart attack. Luckily, there was an elderly doctor nearby who was vacationing with his family.”
The lecture continues. However, the fight between Shin Jae-hee and Kim Dong-jin intensifies. The smell of sweat was so strong that some students were already looking back at Kim Dong-jin with frowns. However, Kim Dong-jin still shows off his uniform and listens to the lecture without any hesitation.
“Thanks to the doctor, the young man’s life was saved, but he sued the doctor for a large amount of physical and psychological compensation, citing broken ribs and torn lungs. Even though there are many cases of broken ribs during CPR, the court ruled that the young man was unable to perform CPR. “I gave up on the young man’s hand, saying he had expressed his intention to refuse along the way. Just by looking at one precedent among the numerous cases like this, you can see how wrong and ignorant the current law on emergency medical care is.”
Jaehee Shin hands me a note again.
‘If this is going to happen, let me know right away.’
I guess I ended up sitting in the middle between Shin Jae-hee and Kim Dong-jin. It was then.
“Now then, is there anyone who would like to say something about the above precedent?”
I met the gaze of the old professor who was scanning the students.
“So, would student Jang Young-guk speak?”
Cold sweat forms on my back. Shin Jae-hee, who was handing the note, blinks apologetically, and Kim Dong-jin, who was smelling of sweat, sighs in relief as if he is glad that it is not him. Ugh.
“Rather than creating a system that binds the morality of people who are guilty of failing to save people in crisis, such as the Good Samaritan law stipulated and implemented in France, we should find ways to improve the current law more efficiently. “If you think about it, isn’t this the equivalent of handing over a package to someone who has pulled it out of the water? This is an issue that not only lawyers but also politicians from all corners of the government need to work on together.”
“That’s a very good answer. Yes, a law student should think differently.”
Just then, the second hand of the clock signals the end of the lecture. Professor Noh smiles and looks around at the students.
“As you know, we will be conducting a criminal mock trial course for the next final exam, so each group should prepare diligently.”
Group formation?
“By the way, what group was Jang Young-guk in? You wouldn’t know because he was absent from the last lecture.”
At that time, Kim Dong-jin, sitting next to me, secretly raises his hand.
shit.
