I Will Live as an Actor Episode 162

[Korean actor spotlighted by CNN “Who is the angel of Desiderio?”]

[Mr. Jang, highly praised by famous photographer Giovanni Sponza, is the model of the century!]

[Jang ranked first in the Italian box office ! Britain’s ‘Confessions of a Priest.’]

[The Korean Wave, which started in Japan, begins to sweep over Italy!]

Will the presidential election be like this? The movements of reporters at media outlets are hectic. Numerous articles poured out every day without stopping, and the feast of outlines for headlines began.

What is even more surprising is that this wave did not originate domestically. The wave that started from Italy, a thousand miles away, became a huge wave and caused a stir in the media.

“How did the Songwon Entertainment press conference go?”

“They say it’s not scheduled yet!”

“Even if it’s not planned, we have to make it. It’s so hot overseas right now. I’m telling you to turn the tide somehow! I have to catch Song Won now so I can write an article! And what was the response to the interview inquiry sent to Desiderio?”

The editor-in-chief’s voice grows louder. As expected, the scene in the editorial office was no different from a market frenzy. Everyone is on the phone, talking on the phone with reporters on the front line and exchanging information. Every minute is urgent.

We are working hard to publish articles as quickly as possible compared to other media outlets. The cause of all this was none other than actor Jang Young-guk.

‘Have I ever been this hectic since the 1988 Olympics?’

The editor-in-chief was having a hard time. To make a leap, it was said that it was at the center of the party during the 1988 Olympics. The regime has thrown innumerable materials as many news stories are pouring in.

But now it was different. It was a wind that started from foreign sources.

If it was just a foreign news report, you might think it would be a passing incident, but it was at a level that could not be ignored.

Starting with a high praise from Giovanni Sponza, who is said to be a living legend in the world of photography, didn’t the founder of Desiderio and the chairman of the Rossellini family, which dominates the Italian business world, come out and praise Jang Young-guk in person? Moreover, it does not end there.

So-called Jang Young-guk movies and dramas began to be exported to Europe, including Italy.

It was unbelievable. The wind blowing from foreign media The wind was so strong that it seemed like a new typhoon, ‘Jang Young-guk’, had been created, as if weather forecasters were jokingly naming the typhoon.

“Editor-in-chief! “Desiderio contacted me saying that they would decide on an interview after discussing with Mr. Jang’s agency.”

“Mr. Jang?”

“I mean actor Jang Young-guk.”

I’m really going crazy.

Starting with the editor-in-chief, high-ranking media officials have also been pressuring him to quickly write a new article related to Jang Young-guk.

However, Jang Young-guk did not respond to any interviews after returning to Korea. To borrow an expression from his agency, he said he was taking a break.

If it were like the past, it would have been ridiculous. No matter how famous your agency is, as long as you are in the entertainment industry, you are bound to be aware of the media.

But things have changed. Foreign media were pouring out articles related to actor Jang Young-guk, and even CNN paid attention to him.

The response from the domestic public was also enthusiastic. Just as people praise those who won MVP in the World Cup finals or won gold medals in the Olympics, the passionate popularity of actor Jang Young-guk has continued to grow.

To exaggerate it further, there is even talk that actor Jang Young-guk could be elected even if he were to run for mayor of Seoul.

At that time, I remembered a sentence passing through the editor-in-chief’s mind.

“Write a legend! Yes, this sentence is the headline—!”

It’s not wrong. He was the person who first created the Korean Wave in Japan starting with the drama Youth. Even that was an amazing achievement and one that would leave a mark on the Korean entertainment industry.

However, a young man in his early 20s has now begun to move to the world stage, starting with Italy. How can we say that we are not writing a legend about this?

* * *

Kim Seong-hoon rubs the bridge of his nose as if embarrassed. This was after moving the live fish and octopus that had left home back to the red terrace. As our eyes met, laughter escaped no one’s guess. Would it feel this good just to look at each other? The octopus in the red darai spits out ink as if jealous.

“Really, Hye-sook. “I read an article saying that England has a girlfriend. Is this true?”

“I was curious about Eunjiye’s map and asked her over the phone, but she said no. “I saw him once or twice while working overseas.”

“is it so? I thought it looked good because the photo was so pretty. It felt like a scene from a movie. As soon as Jisoo saw him, he was so happy. “He told me to ask Hye-sook before I go to school again today.”

“Kook said he could come down for a little while, so it would be nice to see Jisoo’s face at least once this time.”

“England is coming down?”

Kim Seong-Hoon’s face showed tension, even if only for a moment. In fact, compared to Kim Seong-hoon, England was like a son, but it was true that it was difficult for some reason.

It wasn’t just because of his fame as an actor. Rather, when I occasionally had a conversation, it felt like I was talking to someone of the same age or older.

“Waye?”

“No, when England comes down, I’m going to buy him something delicious. “I got it when I went to Seoul last time.”

“I got a map and ate it.”

“How are Hye-suk and I the same? “At this point, I need to get some points from England.”

That time.

Kim Ji-su’s expression as she prepares to leave school is not very bright. Her long hair was matted as if she had just woken up from sleep. A light nosebleed mark can also be seen on the sleeve of the uniform.

The homeroom teacher giving the bell gives warning to some students. One of them was Jisoo.

‘I should have made Mr. Lee completely speechless today.’

The reason why Jisoo got into a fight with a classmate at school was simple. It was because one of my classmates was gossiping about England. As popularity increased, the number of antis naturally increased.

Jisoo threw a sharp fist at the male student who was gossiping about England and being jealous. She also got hit, but the other person was satisfied because his eyes turned into pandas.

-You’re not Jang Young-guk’s sister, so why the fuss? And isn’t everything you said about being close with Jang Young-guk a lie?

However, even though Noontaengi became Bamtaengi, male students continued to gossip. Jisoo’s friends testified, but instead they just covered their ears and made fun of her. The male student is still glancing at Jisoo and growling.

At that time, friends stopped Jisoo and said,

“A base you avoid because you’re afraid of poop, but you avoid it because it’s dirty. And it’s been a day or two since he’s been gossiping about random people. Jisoo, just be patient.”

Jisoo cools off her anger and only then carries her school bag. I felt like I wanted to scold that damn Musma right now, but I had no choice but to hold back. The homeroom teacher also threatened to contact the parents if another fight broke out in school.

“hey.”

It was when I was about to leave the front gate of the school.

“liar.”

Isn’t the boy who got into a fist fight with Jisoo teasing her again? No matter how I looked at the thing that looked like leftover dog clap, I felt like I needed to hit it a few more times to feel relieved.

‘Okay, you should get a good beating today.’

Jisoo, who had made up her mind, rolled up her sleeves and was about to approach.

uh?

The male student’s pupils suddenly started to shake.

At that moment,

“Jisoo!”

Jisoo jerked her head at the sudden sound of her name. And I could tell. Why is the leftover dog clap-gu so surprised? The female students who were stopping Jisoo were also shocked and could not keep their mouths shut. I saw England approaching with a wide smile beyond the school’s main gate.
