Chapter 17.1
Think as you, please.
The writer and director of ‘Baekho-ham' arrived at the meeting venue and got off the elevator.
They were slow to catch up with the news, but they found out during the meeting with the production staff that the relationship between Yeon Seo and Lee Hangyeol’s group, One Seven, was not good, even though the casting had already been confirmed.
“I didn't think Yeon Seo would accept the meeting request.”
“Turns out their relationship isn't that bad?”'
They couldn't replace Yeon Seo, especially since the casting news had already been released, and One Seven's fandom power couldn't be ignored.
As a last resort, they decided to have a greeting session with the lead and supporting actors before the meeting. However, Yeon Seo, who didn't usually participate in such events, was the first one to send a message that he would attend.
The writer and director took it as a positive sign.
“Hello.”
“You already arrived?”
But as they opened the door to the conference room with pleasant steps, they stopped in their tracks due to the suffocating atmosphere. ‘What's going on with this atmosphere?'
Yeon Seo had a calm face, Lee Hangyeol looked strangely unhappy, and Park Min Woo was watching both sides with uneasy eyes. ‘
‘Could it be Yeon Seo...?'
Yeonseo was the one who paid the least attention to others' feelings here.
‘Could it be true that he had acted viciously as the rumours said? That would be unacceptable...’
“Hello”, Yeon Seo, who happened to make eye contact with the director, greeted him with a smile.
Then Lee Hangyeol and Park Min Woo stood up and greeted them. Fortunately, they were filming behind-the-scenes content to release after the movie premiere, so the mood quickly changed.
Hi, I'm Kim Dae Sung, the writer of ‘Baekho-ham.”
“I'm Park HoJin, the director of ‘Baekho-ham.' "
As this was their first time in this type of situation, they looked tense. Park Min Woo and Lee Han Gyeol clapped their hands and helped them relax.
"We called you here to explain how the filming will progress and what direction the acting should take."
It sounded as if they had arranged the meeting specifically for Yoo Yeon Seo, who was famous for his bad acting. Some people looked briefly at Yoo Yeon Seo when the director spoke.
"Although ‘Baekho-ham' has a lot of action, the acting is equally important."
Smiling, Lim Seung Hyun handed over his business card, and Oh Beom Soo bowed his head in relief and went into the conference room. Lim Seung Hyun remained lost in thought, as he wondered:
‘What's going on? Hasn't it been over seven years since the last time Yeon Seo worked with One Seven? Why would he need to contact that manager?’
* * * * *
After the tense meeting ended, they finally began preparing for the actual filming.
Except for Yeon Seo, who was already exercising, Park Min Woo and Lee Han Gyeol hurriedly began to work on their bodies. After finishing their respective schedules, they received action instructions at Cheonha Action School.
"Yeon Seo Hyung-nim, you're here?"
"Hi."
After finishing his acting lesson with Park Hyun Jeong, Yeon Seo immediately went to Cheonha Action School. Inside, Lee Han Gyeol was receiving personal coaching from Director Park Sung Jin.
"Is it okay to come now?"
"What could prevent me from coming?"
"Well..."
Trainees glanced at Lee Han Gyeol. Yeon Seo nodded as if to say he understood.
‘One Seven... It's about OneSeven.’
After the awkward moment with Lee Han Gyeol, Yeonseo searched more about himself online. After his negative departure from OneSeven, he still occasionally crossed paths with the group. A video captured the group receiving an award and Yeon Seo was one of the presenters. The video showed how they exchanged cold looks and moved past each other.

└ The award goes to Yoo Yeon Seoᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ [*lol*] Nnet made it happenᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ

└How did they make the victim group the award recipient and the winning group the victim?
└ After all, Nnet aggro is no joke
└ Look at their faces ᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ [*lol*]
└Honestly, OneSeven is impressive but what about Yeon Seo?
Even though it was an official award ceremony, the video did not intend to hide their expressions. According to Lee Tae Gyeom, when they ran into One Seven, they passed each other with cold stares. It was said that One Seven picked a fight with Yoo Yeon Seo, taunting him by saying that his "hellish mouth" was still causing trouble.
‘Isn't it possible to show dislike only when emotions remain? For better or for worse.'
