Chapter 56: My First Time Doing Promotions

(Brother, how did it go?)

After Yoo Yeon Seo left, the representative Han finally secured his seat and received an urgent call from someone.

“It looks like it’s going to work.”

(Really? Wow! How did you persuade him?)

“Persuade? What do you mean? His eyes changed as soon as I mentioned the resort.”

(Really? Does Yoo Yeon Seo like resorts?)

“He must. So it has to be an island, the sea. Got it? I’ll try to convince him for sure.”

(Okay, we booked all the locations as resorts. Do you know who the other guests are? Brother, you have to keep this a secret.)

The PD was excited and blabbered on. Representative Han listened with one ear and thought to himself.

‘He pretends not to care, but he’s been busy with work...’

Even after he made a name for himself, there were actors who worked like cows, like Jin Sooho, but usually they took a long break between choosing their next project.

In the meantime, they did some commercials and took care of themselves, but Yoo Yeon Seo looked for another project as soon as one ended. And he used his background to start filming right away.

That’s why Yoo Yeon Seo had a lot of filmography, even if not as much as Jin Sooho.

He made a name for himself with bad acting, though...

“He should go on a vacation and enjoy himself.”

(Uh... this is not that kind of show.)

“What?”

Representative Han lifted his upper body, which was leaning back on the chair.

(It’s not a relaxing and healing show. It’s a real guest house management show.)

“Really?”

(Yes, we’re going to limit the money they can spend per day and make it stingy.)

“Wouldn’t that be frustrating?”

(I’ll have to edit it well.)

“Right, that’s up to you, PD.”

Popular actors and idols, and a chaebol third-generation actor with a huge influence just by existing, all gathered to live frugally? Representative Han smiled.

“But are the other guests okay with doing a show with Yoo Yeon Seo?”

He was notorious for having a bad personality, and if you crossed a few bridges, you’d find someone who knew him.

(They haven’t met Yoo Yeon Seo before, so it should be fine, right?)Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

“Really? Just in case, ask for their consent first.”

(Okay, brother. So you’re confirming Yoo Yeon Seo?)

“Yeah, yeah.”

Seeing his eyes change when he heard about the sea, it wouldn’t be hard to confirm.

Representative Han hung up the phone and rolled his chair, lost in thought.

The PD he was talking to was not the main PD of JSTV.

The guest house show he was discussing was a slightly modified version of a program that another PD had done, so it was closer to a seasonal show.

He wondered if it would do well, since it overlapped with a lot of other shows, but Yoo Yeon Seo alone would guarantee enough buzz.

Anyway, the point was that Yoo Yeon Seo would suffer a lot. That was...

“Nice, right?”

Representative Han had a lot of grudges against Yoo Yeon Seo.

***

When Yoo Yeon Seo was facing his midterm exams, ‘White Tiger’ finally surfaced.

Movie [White Tiger] First Trailer

The logos of the production company and the distributor appear briefly, followed by a solemn music.

A ship on the rough sea, and a mysterious monster trying to sink the ship.

The scene changes quickly, showing Park Minwoo holding a gun tightly and sweating coldly, and Lee Hangeul shooting calmly.

The strange monster roars loudly, and Yoo Yeon Seo grabs Park Minwoo’s collar and pushes him against the wall.

(Kill them all. That’s the only way we survive.)

The video ends with Yoo Yeon Seo’s stern voice.

└Park Minwoo Yoo Yeon Seo Lee Hangeul? What a crazy combination. The visuals are amazing.

└It looks fun already.

└Is that the Chunbaek I know?

└Yoo Yeon Seo and Park Minwoo? This is a good stockᄏᄏ

└I don’t care about the story, I’m going to see their faces ᄉᄀ

Since his previous work was ‘Dreaming’, the fans of Yoo Yeon Seo were stimulated by the gap between the mechanical and faint image of the silver-haired Chunbaek and the intense special forces. The love letters were already posting certification photos of their nth reservation.

Yoo Yeon Seo maintained the same posture and expression whether the camera was on or off.

It was a somewhat arrogant attitude, but it was possible because he was Yoo Yeon Seo.

“And... Yoo Yeon Seo!”

“Yes.”

Yoo Yeon Seo picked up the microphone. The MC, who met his eyes, felt embarrassed and lowered his head for a moment, then looked up again, repeating the process. Finally, he hid his gaze behind the question sheet and said.

“Yoo Yeon Seo, you’ve been making a lot of noise lately with your acting transformation. Do you have any secret to how your acting changed? Your mindset, or something...”

“There’s nothing like that.”

Yoo Yeon Seo answered with his unique ticking voice, and boos came from both sides.

“Hey, hyung. You’re so boring!”

“Right.”

“Yoo Yeon Seo is doing this kind of promotion for the first time...”

Only Director Park Hojin tried to salvage the situation. The MC was a bit flustered after meeting Yoo Yeon Seo’s eyes. He had seen many celebrities, but Yoo Yeon Seo’s appearance was so outstanding... He looked even more striking in person.

“That’s right. Don’t be like that and tell us more. The chat room is full of comments like, did you get a girlfriend, what kind of drugs did you take, etc.!”

So the MC blurted out a question that should have been filtered out. The PD moved his hand frantically and made a gesture of cutting his throat. It meant not to mess with Yoo Yeon Seo.

But Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t care and said.

“Well... I guess I see the world differently after dying and coming back to life.”

“Oh, you filmed ‘White Tiger’ after the accident last year, right? How was the accident, are you feeling better now?”

“They said it was a miracle. Before, they said I would either die or be a vegetable at best... But it turned out well, I guess.”

The atmosphere around him turned cold in an instant. Yoo Yeon Seo put down the microphone and looked around.

“What? What’s wrong?”

“You were that serious?”

Lee Hangeul said more seriously and Yoo Yeon Seo tilted his head.

“Didn’t it come out in the news?”

“It didn’t, hyung.”

It didn’t. There were a few articles that said he lost consciousness and went to the ICU after the accident, but they were deleted soon after, and Jusung blocked all the detailed articles.

It wasn’t good news.

‘I wonder if the fans will feel sorry if they see this.’

Yoo Yeon Seo opened his mouth again.

“Yes, that’s what happened. I’m fine now.”

The MC regained his senses and turned the mood around.

“Then you must have had less time to build your body. Right? In the movie, Sergeant Kim Woojin is a special forces soldier.”

“Yes, I tried to bulk up, but I didn’t reach my goal.”

He was fine as he was, but to be faithful to the setting of a special forces soldier, he had to build his body excessively. Yoo Yeon Seo couldn’t do that no matter what, and he was still dissatisfied.

“So if you look closely, you’ll see some scenes where I used CG to enlarge my body...”

“Oh, director, you’re hurting my pride.”

“What’s wrong with that? You’re great as you are.”

Yoo Yeon Seo reluctantly lowered his head a little.

“Then... ‘White Tiger’ viewing point! Find Yoo Yeon Seo’s body enlarged by CG!”

“Ah...”

This was embarrassing. Yoo Yeon Seo frowned and Lee Hangeul tapped him, and he returned to normal.

“And you did 100% action acting without a stunt double, is that true?”

“I asked him to do it without a stunt double, and I was surprised myself.”

“Director?”

“Yes, that’s right. Thanks to Yoo Yeon Seo hyung, we also put a lot of effort into action acting. It was hard, though.”

The director and Park Minwoo answered, and then Lee Hangeul also picked up the microphone.

“He did it all by himself, so we couldn’t not do it.”

“Oh, you felt pressured?”

“Right. I felt like I had to do better...”

“Lee Hangeul hyung is right!”

Really? Yoo Yeon Seo was clueless, so he looked back and forth between Lee Hangeul and Park Minwoo. They nodded seriously when their eyes met.

In fact, it would be best to use a stunt double and save your body. He had other schedules besides ‘White Tiger’. But Yoo Yeon Seo, who seemed the least likely to do it, stepped up and did it all, and they were naturally stimulated.

“I’m curious about the opening now that you’re all saying this! Yoo Yeon Seo, the public enemy, say something!”

“Um... You’ll know when you watch the movie.”

He had been a soldier since before he was born, so he wouldn’t disappoint his ancestors in 2019.

Yoo Yeon Seo smiled confidently.
