I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 351
Kang Woo-jin got into a black van parked on the shoulder of the entrance to Incheon Airport. A dozen members of Woojin's team followed suit, and soon the atmosphere inside the van became lively. Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin was holding Cannes' Best Actor trophy in one hand, and as soon as he got into the van, Woo-jin turned his gaze out the window with a calm expression on his face..
I see hundreds of reporters looking half crazy, blocked by giant guards..
-baba baba bak!
Even though Kang Woo-jin is already in the van, he keeps pressing the shutter button. It's a bonus to yelling at a level that's hard to understand. zombie? Kang Woo-jin sighs softly inwardly..
‘Oh, it's so tough! Anyway, finally Korea! My home! It’s been a while since I last saw this van! I'm finally back!’
He looked solemn on the outside, but on the inside, he was Kang Woo-jin, dancing on his shoulders. To the outside world, it was a golden return, but to Woojin, it just felt like returning to his hometown. It was around 3pm when I arrived in Korea. But now it's getting closer to 5 o'clock. The reason was simple.
‘I didn't expect the interview to last nearly 2 hours, really..’
After the golden return, I had to spend nearly two hours with the gathered reporters. Of course, there were more onlookers than hundreds of reporters. If only Woo-jin had been present, the time would have been slightly shorter, but since all the 'leech' actors, including 'Hwang Geung Palm Award' director Ahn Ga-bok and Shin Han-ho, were there, the time was slightly longer..
‘Phew - what question was I asked?.’
Kang Woo-jin received a barrage of questions from hundreds of reporters. It was vaguely related to the Best Actor Award, French, Miley Kara, the meaning of the acceptance speech that declared war, etc., but he couldn't remember it well. He had no reason to think much about it..
At this time.
-rattly!
Staff members, including Choi Seong-gun and Jang Soo-hwan, who were in charge of cleaning up, got into the van. Choi Seong-gun shows the starting signal right away. Thanks to this, the stopped van slowly moved, and the flash fire of hundreds of reporters surrounding the van as if it were burning at the end became faster..
So about 10 minutes later.
The black van that managed to get out of the airport was driving on the highway. The interior of the van is still bustling..
“Wow - all the search sites' main page is seriously none other than Woojin oppa.!”
“Of course it's tidy! Social media was also plastered with Woojin oppa! But the fact that reporters came out to the airport wasn't a little weak.?”
“A few hundred more people came to the outside parking lot, but it seems they couldn't get in because it was blocked..”
“ah! Articles about my brother’s return are slowly pouring in.!”
Choi Seong-geon, who was in the passenger seat smiling happily, also looked at his cell phone and added a comment..
“Hehehe, Woojin. It was expected, but it was overturned, it was overturned. This thing is going to explode for at least two weeks. Ah, let’s get some rest today and tomorrow, Woojin..”
“yes.”
“I'd like to give you more rest, but we have a backlogged schedule and every time I go to Cannes, my schedule will get messed up several times..”
“It doesn't matter, I had some rest in Cannes..”
Kang Woo-jin, who answered simply, was silently looking out the window. He returned with results that went beyond enhancing national prestige, but now he was full of unrelated concerns..
‘I’m begging to go home and eat something, I’m craving something spicy. Kimchi stew? Ah, the pig's feet are a bit glimmering too. How about simple ramen? no. Ramen is the first round.’
Choosing a menu to commemorate your return. Then, as if something else came to mind, Kang Woo-jin, who was maintaining a poker face, picked up his cell phone. He then scattered the pre-taken picture of the ‘Best Actor Award’ from the Cannes Film Festival all over the place. Announced the news of my return to everyone who had contacted me so far, including family, friends, and colleagues..
soon.
-Ugh.
-Ugh.
Numerous replies poured in. Korea, Japan, Hollywood.
At this time.
-Sigh.
Choi Seong-geon, who had just finished talking on the phone, turned his head back with a slightly serious expression. He makes eye contact with the calm Woojin..
“Woojin, this is what our main investor delivered..”
Speaking of Chairman Hideki.
“Aside from all the little things, you have a private plane..”
At that moment, the eyes of the dozen members of Woojin's team riding in the van widened. Except Kang Woo-jin. Woojin asked lowly in the world..
“···Are you talking about a private plane??”
“okay. Starting with my next Japan itinerary, I'll be taking a private plane.?”
Kang Woo-jin glowed. Of course, inside.
‘This is crazy!! What is this private plane all of a sudden!!! Are you talking about those private planes you see in movies??!!’
For him, the only ‘private plane’ was the hang glider he made when he was young..
Meanwhile, inside the plane.
Business class on an airplane flying high in the sky. Among the people who were sound asleep, I saw some familiar faces. Several executives from the Hollywood distribution and film company ‘Universal Movies’ attended Cannes, including Meghan. Among them, the only one who was not asleep was the man sitting by the window. It was Joseph Felton, the famous giant producer..
“······”
He was looking out the window with his chin resting. Unlike Kang Woo-jin, who moved quickly, Joseph's team stayed in France for a few more days even after the Cannes Film Festival ended. And now I'm heading back to LA. Soon, Joseph looked out the window and lowered his eyes. Four thin wads of paper placed on one's lap.
4Synopsis or concept or idea received from Hollywood screenwriters.
‘Joseph picks up a copy of a variety of genres, including thriller, noir, crime action, and comedy, all based on Jekyll and Hyde and including dissociative personality disorder..
“I have to go with this too.”
He had been thinking about it before coming to Cannes and made a decision. Now, when I return to LA, I will start working on the scenario in earnest. However, the woven board was twice as fast as normal speed. The main team, including Megan, was assembled long ago, the picture of the cast, including Kang Woo-jin, and the list of directors other than Danny Landis, who raised the possibility..
Then.
“hmm-”
The tall Joseph crossed his long legs and suddenly remembered blonde Miley Kara. To be exact, it was a conversation I had with her at the Cannes Film Festival after-party. It starts with Miley Kara, who was attached to Joseph when he saw Kang Woo-jin surrounded by big names from all over the world..
“Joseph, I heard you are preparing a project with Universal Movies..”
Joseph was a little surprised by the sudden request for conversation..
“Miley, it's rare that you bring up your work first.?”
“I looked into it on my own, but there wasn't a lot of information. Probably in the early stages.”
“That's the way it is. But team formation is 70% complete..”
“The director is?”
“The list is confirmed, I'm coveting Coach Danny the most..”
A smile appeared amidst Kara’s characteristic cold tone of voice..
“Director Danny Landis - Director Danny doesn't take on projects that aren't written by him, right? At his level, he'll rush anywhere with money..”
“I'm working hard, I've increased my chances in this section.”
“Hmm - if Director Danny takes on this, it will make quite a fuss in Hollywood..”
Kara muttered, locking her blue eyes with Joseph..
“When the official synopsis or draft of the scenario comes out, please send it to me too..”
Giant Joseph's eyes widened slightly..
“Really?”
Miley Cara was rumored to be expensive and difficult to recruit in Hollywood. At least it was the first time she approached me and asked for her screenplay. Joseph asked her.
“······no way. Because of Kang Woo-jin?”
Kara shrugs..
“It's not exact, but Joseph, you came to the filming set of 'Leech' for Kang Woo-jin, and even visited Bangkok for 'Beneficial Evil'. Even film company executives came along. You said to the outside world that you stopped by for a moment before going to Cannes, but in my view, you are a person who hides the reason for everything..”
“······”
“The work they are preparing this time is likely to feature Kang Woo-jin as the lead role. Solo lead role? Whatever it was, it was a journey for verification. I really need to see the script for that movie too..”
“Miley, do you like Kang Woo-jin? As a man.”
Miley Cara narrowed her eyebrows.
“Are you crazy? It's because of his acting. You've seen 'leeches' and 'beneficial evil'. It was the first time I felt scared after seeing someone else's performance. I thought I was doing well, but after seeing Kang Woo-jin, I felt distant. I even get respect..”
“Rather than acting, it feels like the actual role is playing in reality, and Kang Woo-jin's acting is not method. Something higher than that.”
“I wanted to look at it long-term rather than briefly like 'Beneficial Evil'. That's it.”
Joseph grinned..
“Okay, if I come up with a scenario that's worth sending, I'll send it to you right away. Ranked second among actors. 1st place is of course Kang Woojin..”
Kara nodded, her voice slightly muffled..
“The premise is that Kang Woo-jin's casting has been confirmed. If you fail to catch him, don't even think about sending him to me..”
At this point, Joseph returned to reality and returned to the plane, his smile deepening..
“For some reason, I feel like the fate of a movie production depends on one actor..”
Soon, he was holding his cell phone, looking at something and muttering softly..
“If it has this much influence, it's worth a walk..”
What he saw was Kang Woo-jin's name spreading across the world, including Hollywood. Many things other than articles and videos have spread. Of course, with people’s mouths and fingers as well. In fact, due to Khan-related issues and Woojin's declaration of war, Kang Woojin's name was mentioned frequently in the mouths of bigwigs from around the world..
Cannes' home country, France, of course.
“With this level of French skills - the first Korean actor to win Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival. Kang Woo-jin, has this actor returned to Korea now??”
“I confirmed that you have already arrived in Korea..”
“‘The acting in ‘Leech’ continues to haunt me. Send the scenario to Kang Woo-jin immediately, as soon as possible. Other directors have probably already started working on it..”
“All right.”
Most of the big directors from around the world who approached Kang Woo-jin during the after-party were like that. The ripple effect that Kang Woo-jin showed at Cannes was also a ripple effect, but the fact that he spoke English, including French, at a high level made the big names even more excited..
On the other hand, there were likes and dislikes in Hollywood..
“Are you aiming for an Academy Award next year? Huh, you’re a little outgoing, this Korean actor..”
“Haven't there always been actors like this? However, now there is no one left. Winning Best Actor at Cannes is great, but the Academy Award is even higher..”
“I heard Coach Danny raved about it..”
“Coach Danny? Hmm, it must have been overwhelming, because that stubborn Khan was enough to break the rules..”
“It makes me wonder what kind of actor he is..”
Because Kang Woo-jin’s acceptance speech was quite stimulating. It was like offending the proud figures of Hollywood. However, the level of interest in Woojin also skyrocketed. Because there were many directors who viewed it positively. Whatever the purpose other than the director trying to take advantage of the issue or the director falling in love with the acting skills..
“Start by asking if you can recruit him to his agency..”
“I sent the email, and I heard there were instructions from LA..”
“Oh, then is it possible to make a direct call??”
“I'll check.”
Kang Woo-jin was hot to great directors from all over the world..
The next day, Wednesday morning the 13th.
The location is Kang Woo-jin’s house. Although the country and the world were in an uproar over Kang Woo-jin, he was actually lying dead on his bed. Home is silence itself.
“······”
It was past 9 a.m., but there was no sign of Woojin's oversleeping ending. It was as if he was trying to relieve his fatigue all at once. Of course, even at this moment, many calls were arriving on his cell phone, but even Woojin's cell phone was quiet. Because the owner changed it to silent.
Has it been about an hour like that??
“Ugh-”
Kang Woo-jin, who had one side of his head pressed heavily and groaned like a zombie, woke up from the bed. His current self, having thrown away rigid concepts, is a natural person..
“······I had a good night’s sleep.”
Who would see this beggar as the ‘Best Actor’ winner at the Cannes Film Festival? Anyway, Woojin got up, was dazed for a moment, and then picked up his cell phone. After seeing numerous contacts such as absences, text messages, chats, and DMs piled up, he only checked absences. Luckily for him, there was nothing urgent. Woojin roughly threw his cell phone back on the bed and came out to the living room, turning on the device..
The first thing that Kang Woo-jin noticed was.
“K-Jiri..”
These were trophies placed on the living room desk. Among the awards received so far, the Best Actor Award from the Cannes Film Festival, which was won a few days ago, was added. Woojin smiled at that majestic figure..
“Why do you think it’s not mine?.”
Kang Woo-jin is in a high mood. Something flashed in his mind for a moment..
“Ah, Miley Kara's new album.”
It was a thought I put off for a while because I was out of my mind. Miley Cara's new album was released worldwide yesterday. Soon, Woojin moved to the bed again and picked up his cell phone. And then I went straight to YouTube. Like the new album, the official music video must have been released as well..
however.
“Wow - crazy.”
There was nothing to search for. Because Woojin saw exactly what he was looking for in the video that was trending #1 in real-time popularity..

The music video for the title song of Miley Kara's new album featuring Kang Woo-jin has been released..
