I will live as an actor Episode 186

press conference.

Most celebrities hold press conferences when they are caught up in a scandal. That’s why celebrities are so afraid of the word press conference.

Since it is a job that sells fantasy, it is sensitive to the public’s reaction.

By far, it was the reporters who elicited such reactions from the public. The reporter’s pen becomes the barrel of a gun and the sentence becomes a bullet, ending the celebrity’s life.

“Tsk.”

Reporter Kwak Myeong-hwan wiped his dry lips. He was a man with a sense of duty in his profession as a journalist.

There are two types of reporters. Even if they are in the same field, someone becomes a war reporter and someone else writes trash.

Among them, the most vicious are the paparazzi, who dig into the private lives of celebrities and bite into their weaknesses in the name of investigative reporting.

The public likes provocative material. That is why the number of paparazzi increased day by day, like fruit flies multiplying innumerably.

The photos taken by these paparazzi are used in many ways. In addition to being a smokescreen to cover up political incidents, cases of extorting money by threatening the celebrity’s agency were also common.

Of course, if it had been an incident like a drug or sexual scandal, I wouldn’t have been this angry.

[Actor Jang Young-guk is scheduled to hold an official press conference regarding repeated dating rumors with actress Yeon-soo. The two actors are currently known to be starring in the MBS special mini-series ‘The Mermaid Prince’. The two actors who initially denied the dating rumors... ... .]

The dating rumor was a completely different story.

The anchor’s voice is heard from the TV. The Mermaid Prince’s popularity was so great that it overtook all terrestrial dramas.

When you walk down the street, everyone, regardless of age, is talking about the Little Mermaid Prince. It was a drama that caused a national craze.

“Have you been cornered by an outsider?”

Kwak Myung-hwan could not erase a bitter smile when he heard the news that a press conference would be held in England.

Because he was a journalist, he knew how reckless it was for Britain to make that choice.

Reporters are like hyenas. When a tasty prey appears, it eats it all without leaving a single bone behind. Like a bug gnawing at an ear of grain.

“What do you think, brother?”

widely.

The stones are placed on the board making a sound. As if fishing for time, a long time passes and the sound of the Go stones in response is not heard.

Actor Ahn Joong-hyun, who was looking down at the checkerboard, looks up and looks at director Baek Jang-hoon.

“older brother?”

“You’re thinking about it.”

“No, just think about the baduk stones.”

“Hmm.”

Director Baek Jang-hoon reluctantly puts down the baduk stones. Ahn Jung-hyun smiled faintly at that sight. Then he immediately picks up a baduk stone and responds.

The situation on the badukboard was such that coach Baek Jang-hoon was in control.

“So what do you think, brother? “The British press conference.”

“If you are a public figure, you can hold a press conference at least once, so don’t make a fuss about it.”

“You have to be able to not make a fuss. Are there already a lot of reporters trying to find fault with the UK? I heard that guy has more enemies than I thought. “England is a bit different from kids these days.”

It was a well-known story that Britain was not friendly with reporters.

It was in England that he was praised for his acting since he was young. As he got older, his name became known not only in Korea but also in Asia and Europe.

The UK leaves a word to Representative Kim Seong-hwan and moves on.

“I think I’ll regret it if I hide it.”

It was a press conference broadcast live. Most press conferences are not broadcast live like this. This was proof that the public’s interest was high.

Perhaps because they were aware of the live cameras, the reporters were waiting for the star of the day without chatting among themselves.

“This is Jang Young-guk.”

Someone suddenly covers their mouth while speaking. As he said, England was rising to the podium at the press conference.

He is dressed neatly in a suit, his hair is neatly done, and his face has a relaxed look.

Reporters even tilt their heads at Britain’s bold gaze. That’s because celebrities who attend press conferences usually look haggard or nervous.

“Jang Young-guk, this is reporter Park Yong-jin of ST Entertainment Magazine. When the dating rumor between actors Jang Young-guk and Yeon-soo surfaced three months ago, the two took the stance that it was unfounded. “Is it safe to say that this press conference was also held to deny the dating rumors that have surfaced again?”

England looked at the reporter who had just asked him the first question.

The name sounds familiar. This is the name of a reporter I heard from CEO Seonghwan Kim the other day. To be precise, it was the name of paparazzi.

His eyes were clearly filled with mockery as he looked at England.

Aiming number.

England did not know what the author wanted. Any celebrity caught up in dating rumors is bound to deny it.

What he hoped for would also be the same. If England denies the dating rumors, he will once again mention the photos he has.

If so, the public will definitely pay more attention to his scoop.

“Wait.”

England raised his hand low.

“Before answering reporter Park Yong-jin’s question, I would like to first greet the viewers who are currently watching the live broadcast. Hello, this is actor Jang Young-guk. “First, let me say that I am sorry for making you watch the press conference.”

Reporters, including Park Yong-jin, smiled.

“However, I will briefly tell you why I had no choice but to hold a press conference like this. Songwon Entertainment, where I belong, and SW Entertainment, where actress Yeonsu belongs, have had to suffer from constant threats. The subjects were several reporters, including reporter Park Yong-jin, who had just asked the question.”

The faces of Park Yong-jin, who had been scornful just moments ago, as well as the rest of the reporters, suddenly contorted.

However, they soon had to struggle to adjust their expressions, perhaps because of the live cameras shining on them.

“That is why I held a press conference here today to resolve all questions. I will begin the press conference by once again apologizing to the viewers. Reporter Park Yong-jin?”

“... ... yes.”

“Would you please repeat the question you just asked?”

Reporter Park Yong-jin bit his molars and recited the same question he had just asked. Then he looked at England with scorn once again. As if to give it a try if you can answer.

“no.”

“Yes, I thought so... ... . yes?”

“This press conference is not to deny the dating rumors.”

Park Yong-jin’s expression, which had been triumphant just a moment ago, looked dumbfounded, as if he had seen a ghost. Suddenly, other reporters also started talking.

From whether what they heard was correct to whether they expressed something wrong. They mutter without paying attention to the live cameras.

At that time, England raised its hand.

“Do you have any next questions?”

The reporters, who had been buzzing as if a fuse had been lit, began to raise their hands at each word from England.
