I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 356
When Kang Woo-jin first arrived at the theater where the audience preview of 'Familiar' was being held, he honestly glanced at the situation inside and had the overwhelming feeling that he wanted to stand out a little..
The reason was simple.
“Did you film that as a movie??! You destroyed the original work.!!”
I could hear the excited shouts of hundreds of people in the theater. As a result, the movie theater employee and the distribution company employee of 'Face Gisaeng', who were guiding Woo-jin curiously, stopped and tried to stop Kang Woo-jin..
“It's okay to go in now..”
“Yes, please go in after you calm down or skip this episode..”
The distribution company employee spoke in a tone as if he had already seen situations like this many times. It actually did. 'The Stranger' had more than twice as many previews as other movies, and most people, including reporters, were excited every time. Of course, the audience preview was several times louder. However, at that time Kang Woo-jin was not there and this time he is..
“I think I'll be more excited if Woojin enters here..”
Woojin's face showed deep indifference, but deep inside he sympathized strongly..
‘Admit it, Shiba, if you go into that situation, isn't something flying around?.’
However, it was a mistake to show a weak side now that conceptism and strong-willedness are prevalent. Woojin tried to cool his heart but answered casually..
“It doesn't matter.”
“······yes?”
“does not matter.”
“ah.”
Noh Sang-kwan. It was Kang Woo-jin who entered the theater filled with excitement. Well, I wasn't really nervous when I walked in..
‘I've been to Cannes too, but it's easy like this.’
However, I had to show a more detached poker face than usual. The atmosphere in this theater was scary to begin with, right? Director Kyotaro and the 'unfamiliar' Japanese actors are surprised by the appearance of Kang Woo-jin. It was worth it. The fact that Kang Woo-jin is currently in Japan was a bit urgent. Actually, there was no problem even if he didn't come. Kang Woo-jin insisted on doing it..
Still, the lead actor, Yeonghwan, has to show his face a few times during stage greetings..
Naturally, the hundreds of spectators also stopped moving and shouting as soon as they saw Woojin. Because it was truly an unexpected appearance..
There.
“······Woojin Kang?”
“I didn't say I wouldn't come?”
“It's a surprise.”
The huge status of the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival, which turned the world upside down, also played a part. Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin raised his voice to hundreds of audiences..
‘Going harder than usual.’
Of course, it was all intentional bluntness..
“Hello, this is Kang Woo-jin, who plays ‘Kiyoshi Iyota’ in ‘The Stranger’..”
Hundreds of viewers other than the die-hard fans of the original 'Familiar Gisaeng' were dumbfounded. Dozens of people even opened their mouths as if they couldn't believe they had seen Kang Woo-jin in front of her eyes. Meanwhile, whispers spread among the excited audience..
“Kang Woo-jin... It's definitely different from other actors..”
“I didn't do anything particularly big, but it wasn't very... heavy.?”
“that's right. What did they say about something like that? It's called the Tower of Towers?”
“The presence is truly absurd..”
Everyone was overwhelmed by Kang Woo-jin’s control. It's a bonus that the entire theater, which was noisy just a moment ago, has become dead quiet..
“······”
“······”
Director Kyotaro lets out a small laugh at this..
‘It seemed like a war was going to break out - but could it be resolved so easily just by the appearance of actor Kang Woo-jin??’
Even as a master director who had been a director for decades, it was his first time seeing it..
‘You have already become a world-class star..’
‘All of the actors in ‘The Stranger’ felt the same way as director Kyotaro. They too are looking at Kang Woo-jin with wonder, but what do the audiences think? Mana Kosaku, with a serious face, spoke sincerely. Of course, inside.
‘Where on earth did you see that, the pose of an actor with only 2 years of experience?.’
Around here.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin, who greeted the audience, handed the microphone he was holding to Mana Kosaku. He, who has a thick-lined face, gave a small greeting to Woojin and then said,.
“thank you.”
I opened up a space. He was given the first seat among the actors, right next to Director Kyotaro. The main male lead in 'Familiar Gisaeng' is definitely Kang Woo-jin. Only after Woojin took his place did the main characters of ‘The Stranger’ become complete..
“Hello, this is Mana Kosaku, who plays the role of detective ‘Mochio Yoshizawa’ in ‘The Stranger’..”
The stage greetings proceeded as if nothing had happened. At this point, hundreds of people in the audience are acting completely different from just a few dozen people..
-Sigh.
Everyone was busy taking out their cell phones and taking pictures of Kang Woo-jin..
About 30 minutes later.
After completing the audience preview stage greetings, the 'Unfamiliar Parasite' team left the theater. Soon, Japanese actors joined in and bombarded Kang Woo-jin with questions, but there was a slight lull when director Kyotaro intervened. Then he asked Woojin.
“Woojin, are you okay? I heard the schedule wasn't working. Either in Korea or abroad.”
Kang Woo-jin nodded silently and answered..
“It may be tight. I have to go back to Korea in the afternoon..”
“‘I guess you came while filming ‘Beneficial Evil’..”
“yes. But I asked for your understanding. There is no problem as long as you hit it short and boldly..”
“Haha, thank you.”
“no. I can’t be the only one who is left out of the ‘unfamiliar’ stage greeting..”
“But even though Woojin came, the media was quiet.?”
“I sneaked in.”
As a result, Woojin decided to perform stage greetings at a total of four theaters, including the stage greeting just before. After that, the schedule is to go straight to Korea without any time to rest. Right now, Kang Woo-jin was at a point where Japan and Korea seemed like the streets of Seoul and Gyeonggi-do..
Around the time when Kang Woo-jin was greeting the stage of ‘The Stranger’,.
『Cannes Best Actor winner Kang Woo-jin makes a surprise appearance as a stage greeting at the ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ premiere / Photo』
The Japanese media was frantically publishing articles after hearing the news. Because the audience at the previous screening had already posted pictures of Kang Woo-jin on social media..
『「Kang Woo-jin's surprise visit to Japan, did thieves enter the country??』
『‘「Kang Woo-jin」 suddenly appears at the preview screening of ‘Familiar Parasite’, and audience accounts of his sightings pile up on social media.』
『'Familiar', a week away from release, did you also care about Cannes' man 'Kang Woo-jin'??』
It was a hectic half day. Woojin, who had somehow managed to do all the stage greetings, immediately moved to Haneda Airport in the afternoon of the same day without any time to spare. Meanwhile, inside the van, Kang Woo-jin called Choi Seong-gun. Choi Seong-geon, who was handling backlogged work in Korea, always answered Woojin's phone calls while he was busy..
“Hey Woojin. Have you organized your Japan itinerary? Oh, I should have gone with you too..”
“it's okay. Well done, CEO..”
In a low voice, Kang Woo-jin recited what he had decided..
“And this time, I will reject all scripts and scenarios that come from overseas..”
“···okay. The same goes for ‘Jurassic Land 4’?”
“yes. entire.”
Kang Woo-jin beat all works, including ‘Jurassic Land 4’. Choi Seong-geon, looking over the cell phone, also showed no signs of surprise..
“Okay, I'll finish it on my own..”
Next, Kang Woo-jin arrived at Haneda Airport. The entry was quiet as it was done secretly, but the departure was not..
-baba baba bak!
-baba baba bak!!
Hundreds of Japanese reporters and even more fans and onlookers greeted Kang Woo-jin at the airport. But there was no time to delay. Woojin waved to them moderately and entered the aisle leading to the plane after completing the procedures. What is unique here is Kang Woo-jin’s feelings. He took a regular plane when entering Japan, but this time was different..
‘Whoa, crazy! That's that... private plane??!’
Kang Woo-jin received a private plane as a gift from Chairman Hideki..
‘Shiba!! My private plane??! Is this right?!’
I couldn't believe it even after seeing it.
Same time, Korea.
At the time when Kang Woo-jin was fading away in Japan, Korea was shaking or shaking due to his issues. The aftermath of ‘Cannes Film Festival’ and ‘Leech’ was still the same..
『10‘Leech’, which is scheduled to be released on the 27th of February, is competing with movie theaters to open in advance/Photo』
‘Leech’ was still mentioned overseas, and it was no different in Korea. In addition, the Miley Kara incident that exploded in succession, the 'unfamiliar parasite', etc..
Currently, Kang Woo-jin's brand power in Korea is king level..
So naturally, many works related to him also received attention..
『[[Star Talk] ‘Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Beneficial Evil’ garners interest from around the world after the Cannes Film Festival↑』
『With Kang Woo-jin's power, Netflix is a huge hit... Will it be able to properly support 'Beneficial Evil', which will be launched 'worldwide'??』
Domestic large and medium-sized media companies were also nervous about Kang Woo-jin, who was selling the best. Among them, 'Power Patch', a large media company that had ties to Woojin in the past, was the same, and its editor-in-chief with a broad face moved into the entertainment department's office, reminiscent of Dottegi Market..
-Sigh.
The editor-in-chief pays no heed to the noise of reporters immediately reaching his ears. Then he gestured, tapping the shoulder of a reporter with dark circles and angular glasses who was sitting close to his office..
“come in.”
He grumbles a little and follows the editor-in-chief. The reporter wearing angular glasses was a reporter who also attended the Cannes Film Festival and was also interviewed by Kang Woo-jin. Then, as he entered the editor's office, the broad-faced editor-in-chief with his butt on the desk spoke to him..
“Hey have you seen this??”
The editor-in-chief holding out his cell phone. A photo of the scene that appeared to be being filmed was displayed on the screen, and a reporter with angled glasses tilted his head and answered..
“What is this.”
“I got it from Bangkok, but I don't know.?”
“I don't know.”
“Hmm - it seems like it's spreading little by little on SNS and communities in Bangkok? I also received it through someone I know in Bangkok..”
“yes. But?”
“No, dude. Take a good look at the picture.”
The reporter who was scratching his chin put his face on the editor's cell phone. Multiple cameras, filming equipment, and dozens of staff. Anyone could see that it was a filming site. A slightly full picture taken from behind. The editor-in-chief marks one of them with his index finger..
“Don't you know who this is??”
The reporter who was watching closely said, “Ah!” I answered loudly.
“Woojin Kang?”
“okay. Woojin Kang.”
“······”
After a brief pause, the reporter clapped his hands together..
“This is an overseas location cut of ‘Beneficial Evil’. Right? ‘Beneficial Evil’ was in Bangkok this time..”
“that's right.”
“So? If you wait for a cut like this, 'Beneficial Evil' will solve it on its own. It doesn't seem particularly important. Well, it's still useful for drawing attention in advance..”
“listen to the end.”
The editor's index finger moved as he narrowed his eyes. A woman standing slightly away from Kang Woo-jin on the cell phone screen.
“This blonde woman. Who do you think it is??”
“······Wait.”
The reporter's face became more serious and he glued his face to his cell phone. She was a little blurry and was a bit ambiguous because she was from the side rather than the front, but the silhouette and atmosphere of the woman with this firm blonde hair were very familiar..
The reporter with angled glasses stared at the woman for a moment before quietly spitting out a person that came to mind..
“No way, Miley...Kara?”
Meanwhile, L.A..
It was early afternoon in Japan and Korea, but late at night in LA. Nevertheless, the lights of downtown LA were dazzling, and two large vans were driving on the road. Among them, a familiar blonde-haired woman sitting in the front van. Miley Kara has been extremely busy with the recent release of her new album..
“······”
She, with her blonde hair flowing down, was heading to the recording studio after completing a tight schedule today. She is now sitting in her window seat, silently looking down at her phone. Then Kara raised her head and smiled slightly. What I immediately saw was the half-shaven head of Jonathan sitting across from me..
“3Surpassed 100 million views.”
Kara muttered as she picked up her phone and showed it to Jonathan. On her cell phone screen, the music video video for her new song posted on her YouTube channel was being displayed..
-【alcoholism(feat. WooJin)】｜Miley Cara
-300 million views
Jonathan also smiled and raised his thumb..
“It had 290 million views around lunch. Congratulations, Kara!.”
“We should all be congratulated. It hasn't been quite a while since the number of views exceeded 100 million in such a short period of time.?”
“That's right, about 5 years. It's a collaboration between you and Kang Woo-jin..”
“There aren't enough gifts to bring home. Anyway, I should send him a DM..”
Jonathan, with his arms crossed, asked her something else as she lowered her head to her cell phone again..
“But I really won't even read all the works that come in.?”
Kara, who had her eyes on her phone, answered while stroking her blonde hair..
“huh. I'll wait for Joseph. It would be a waste if you just watched something else and found it interesting. It's better not to see.”
“hmm-”
At this time, Miley Cara showed her phone to Jonathan again..
“Will Kang Woo-jin react when he sees this??”
“maybe. 100% because his overseas recognition, YouTube, and social media will explode even more..”
“Because he’s a man who doesn’t show his emotions very often..”
Kara's cell phone was printing out the new Billboard chart that was updated this week..
[Billboard Hot 100]

Kang Woo-jin's name was placed at number one on the Billboard chart..
