I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 226
The moment director Kwon Ki-taek announced that 'Island of the Missing' would be cranked up, the excitement level of the hundred or so staff members gathered in the large set complex immediately soared..
“OMG!! at las!!”
“Great - thank you all for your hard work!!”
“that's right! I wonder how this ends!! ha ha ha!”
“Director! Thank you for your effort!!”
“Heh!! I need to get some sleep now, really.!”
“Come on, everyone, you haven't forgotten to clean up after yourself.??!”
Staff members who have been through hardships together for a short period of time. They hugged each other and laughed and shared joy. The warm-hearted director Kwon Ki-taek simply sat in front of the monitor and did not particularly restrain the hundred or so staff members..
Because I knew their hard work better than anyone else..
Of course, it wasn't 100% finished. Additional filming may occur occasionally. There were still minor schedules left, such as the production presentation and the remaining poster filming. However, at this moment, it was safe to say that the entire ‘Island of the Missing’ staff was on a break. However, director Kwon Ki-taek was real from here on..
Because post-production, one of the core parts of film production, remains..
Accordingly, the smile slowly disappeared from the face of director Kwon Ki-taek, who was looking intently at the monitor displayed in front of him. Before he knew it, he began to organize his thoughts on editing in his head. How should I go about making a formal poster rather than a temporary poster? What about the first and second trailers? The opening music is?
Directing that will maximize the charm of the actors?
His brain suddenly started working. The filming schedule has just ended, but there is no rest. However, director Kwon Ki-taek is one of the greatest directors among Korean directors. Soon, predictions began to pile up..
‘As expected, it would be better to stick with Corporal Jin Seon-cheol from the beginning to the middle..’
It was about the role played by Kang Woo-jin. From the beginning of the 'Island of the Missing' scenario, director Kwon Ki-taek placed importance on the character of 'Corporal Jin Seon-cheol'. This was because he took charge of each character's conflict and the tension of the play..
At a time when director Kwon Ki-taek was busy thinking like this,.
“Carefully!! hey! Don’t be too upset just because it’s over! Do you know how much it costs??!!”
“sorry!”
“I'll organize the props!”
“Filming team! Rail is withdrawn??!”
About 100 staff left their joy behind and began cleaning up the filming site. At this time, Ryu Jeong-min, still wearing his military uniform, approached Director Kwon Ki-taek. Perhaps because he was tall, the military uniform suited him well..
“Director.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who had been quietly staring at the monitor, turned his head to see his popularity..
“Um, yeah. Jeongmin, you worked hard..”
Short-haired Ryu Jeong-min smiled slightly and lowered his head..
“Thank you for your hard work, Director..”
“haha. From now on, the real trouble begins for me..”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who was quietly laughing, folded his arms and cleaned up after himself, looking at the hectic scene..
“Anyway, I feel a little lonely. When we started, there were a lot of actors..”
Currently, the remaining actors in 'Island of the Missing' are Ryu Jung-min, Hayura, and a few supporting and minor roles. The rest of the main actors, like Kang Woo-jin, left after their filming schedule ended. In response, Ryu Jung-min massaged Director Kwon Ki-taek's shoulder as if to cheer him up..
“Well, it would have been a little more noisy if everyone had been there. I always feel this way, but after a movie ends, I feel a little off..”
“It must be even more so since you came right after Hanryang ended. So what did you gain from ‘Island of the Missing’? Aside from filming, there was also a purpose to find limits, right?.”
This was also a story that included Kang Woo-jin. The inner meaning of Ryu Jung-min before joining ‘Island of the Missing’.
“Director, I can’t express my dual personality with just my eyes and facial expressions..”
“is it?”
“Not yet. It's impossible to chase a monster that expresses its emotions just by attaching it to its face. Now I know.”
“I get it?”
Ryu Jung-min, who locked eyes with director Kwon Ki-taek, recalled Kang Woo-jin's acting he saw in 'Island of the Missing'..
“Woojin Kang is a different individual. She is the same actress, but the essence itself is······”
Ryu Jeong-min is speechless. Perhaps they want to express new humanity or uniqueness. Director Kwon Ki-taek, who fully understood, quickly stood up and.
“You are a weirdo enough. Woojin just exists..”
changed the subject.
“‘‘Island of the Missing’ is expected to be released in May..”
“5Monday - It's spring.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek smiled warmly and showed his thumb to Ryu Jung-min..
“Take some time off and take care of your skin, 'cause I'm gonna get busy.”
after.
‘When 'Island of the Missing' was in full swing, an entertainment program was on the lips of the public gathered at numerous companies, cafes, etc. in Korea..
“Eh? I haven’t seen ‘Our Table’??”
“Yes, not yet. Originally, I didn’t watch PD Yoon Byung-seon’s entertainment shows. But is it that fun? Everyone is talking about that.”
“It’s so much fun, isn’t it? Try taking a quick video on YouTube! It'll fall right away?”
It was PD Yoon Byung-seon’s ‘Our Table’..
“They didn't get that viewership rating for nothing?? Jonjamjonjam. It's been a while since I saw an entertainment show.!”
“Kang Woo-jin appears there too, right? How is he??”
“······Ah, Kang Woo-jin is the key there. I'm really crazy about cooking. To be honest, I didn't like Kang Woo-jin either, but this time I watched 'Our Table' and did a lot of searching. I started cheating.”
It was like that not just today, but the day after ‘Our Table’ aired. This is true for movies and dramas, but the response to entertainment was especially strong because it is content that is familiar to the public..
Therefore, various domestic media outlets had no choice but to make a fuss about ‘our table’..
『‘As expected, PD Yoon’s presence exploded in the stagnant entertainment industry with ‘Our Table’ reaching a viewership rating of 15.6%.!』
『15% How long has it been since there was an entertainment show with the above ratings? Members of ‘Our Table’, including Kang Woo-jin, explode with energy』
The fact that PD Yoon's new entertainment show, the godfather of the entertainment industry, set a record of more than 15% also helped..
『‘Kang Woo-jin's high-level cooking skills from 'Our Table' are said to confuse even real chefs.?』
『[[Star Talk] ‘Our Table’ What is there that Kang Woo-jin can’t do? Before heading to the U.S., netizens say, “Please give me the first episode quickly!” clamor』
However, it was not a record made solely for the sake of the names of performers such as PD Yoon Byeong-seon and Kang Woo-jin. Even the content of ‘Our Table’ was solid. It gives the public not only enjoyment, but explosive anticipation that will keep them waiting for a whole week..
『What does Kang Woo-jin's creative dish spread on social media, 'Kimjaban Makguksu' that appeared on 'Our Table', what does it taste like??』
With water gushing in like this, Producer Byung-seon Yoon had no intention of staying still. The 'Our Table' team mobilized all channels and put all their effort into promoting it. YouTube was flooded with edited videos of episode 0, which first aired last week, and trailers for episode 1, which were to be released this week, were being released like crazy..
The trailer shows members of ‘Our Table’ operating a food truck in earnest in the United States..
The appearance of LA’s Michelang 1-star chef was a bonus..
‘All videos uploaded by 'Our Table' had a basic number of views of 100,000, and the highest number was 1 million..
-Ha...I want to see you quickly...Time flies so fast...When do you retire?ㅠㅠㅠㅜㅜㅠ
-ah!! Please watch the main story, not the trailer!! Give! now!!
-Hahaha, it starts with a food truck haha. I'm really curious about Americans' reactions haha.
-Kang Woojin confirmed as main chef??? What if Americans spit out that it doesn’t taste good????
-In Korea, top actors go to America to cook, so it’s really cool haha.
-What is a Michelin one-star chef?? Did the production team invite you????
-Hahaha, no, the one-star Michelin chef from the US ate Kang Woo-jin's cuisine.
-Lee Sang-man: It’s going to blow, the bucket of money is going to blow.

Well, of course, the ‘our table’ issue wasn’t the only issue popping up on the Internet. Because there was so much food to use, the domestic media was busy grabbing what they wanted and shooting it..
『‘Kang Woo-jin, 'I will conquer the world with Japanese acting' begins filming 'Familiar Parasite' in Japan, eyewitness accounts appear one after another on Japanese social media』
Just like that, the 21st came to an end and Friday the 22nd dawned. It was the film industry that caught the public's attention from the morning..
-Oh hahaha I heard filming on Island of the Missing is over??? Hahaha it ended faster than I thought.
‘News of the ‘Island of the Missing’ crank-up spread..
『Master director Kwon Ki-taek's 'Island of the Missing' cranks up yesterday! When will it be released??』
『[[Movie IS] 'Island of the Missing' announced the end of filming, officials say, "It's not confirmed, but it's expected to be released around May."”』
It was a new work by director Kwon Ki-taek, who is considered the best of the great masters, and expectations were high because it featured many top actors such as Ryu Jung-min and Kang Woo-jin. Be it the industry or public opinion..
『Will 'Island of the Missing' be a success, with a great director and a cast of top actors? Will I fail??』
Meanwhile, even while Kang Woo-jin was in Japan, things related to him were progressing steadily. Producer Song Man-woo of 'Beneficial Evil' held a script meeting with writer Nana Choi and.
“Author, I think it's okay to go a little more extreme here, or something like that..”
“Is that so?? I thought you were being too nervous..”
“It's okay, just give it a try.”
The pre-production stage was being completed quickly through repeated production meetings with the key staff. But it wasn't urgent. Because the total production cost was large, there was a need to be meticulous..
Then, in the late afternoon of the same day, the drama that Kang Woo-jin passed by was coming to an end on the public broadcaster KBC..
-[A love that freezes to death]
-[last episode]
It was ‘Freezing Love’ by star writer Lee Wol-seon. Woojin only appeared in the first two episodes, but he also appeared in the last episode that aired today. It wasn't that long. However, his appearance caused an uproar in various communities..
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠIs anyone watching the last episode of Freezing Love Now?? Kang Woo-jin appears ㅠㅜㅜ I'm so touched... Kang Woo-jin appears and really brings out the Jjinmak feeling.....
For reference, 'Frozen Love' achieved a viewer rating of around 10% until the last episode. It's a decent enough score, but since Lee Wol-seon is such a star writer, it's not uncommon to see articles criticizing her work..
『Star writer Lee Wol-seon's 'Freezing Love' ends with an average viewership rating of around 10%, a disappointing result』
However, writer Lee Wol-seon, the production crew of 'Frozen Love', and the actors seemed satisfied..
『Writer Lee Wol-seon “It was a very happy work, I learned a lot. I am grateful to the production team, actors, and Kang Woo-jin.””』
Whatever it was, even though Kang Woo-jin was not currently in Korea, his name was mentioned endlessly. The finale was around the time the last episode of ‘Freezing Love’ ended..
A piece of news was delivered to several top actors..
For example, Jin Jae-jun in ‘Drug Dealer’.
“Jaejun! It's up! ‘Leech’ just sent me audition information.!!”
“oh! really?”
The official audition date for director Ahn Ga-bok's 'Leech', a veteran or young talent, has been confirmed. Even though 'Leech' side filtered them out, many top actors participated in the audition..
the problem is.
“Ugh! The audition is a designated performance - and director Ahn Ga-bok, senior Shin Shim-ho, and... Huh? Woojin Kang?”
“Woojin? What is Woojin?.”
“No... I heard Kang Woo-jin will be at the audition? Is this right???”
“Woojin will be there...?”
The distributed audition information includes Kang Woo-jin as a judge..
“Uh oh. E-No way. I guess the ‘Leech’ side was confused. No matter how much director Ahn Ga-bok is, I can't believe he would have selected Kang Woo-jin as a judge when all the top actors were auditioning..”
“······No, it's probably real. It's an audition, but you probably have a strong personality that just looks at your form..”
“Even though! It's you, Jin Jaejun! Even if Kang Woo-jin is a nuclear bomb right now, how can you audition in front of him?!”
“I guess Director Ahn is trying to see that point.?”
Thanks to this, many top actors and A-list actors who confirmed the audition information for 'Leech' were in an uproar..
“Go, Kang Woo-jin??! The real Kang Woo-jin is involved in the judging.??!”
“phone call! call me!”
Reactions were varied..
“Mr. A! What the hell! No, isn't that too harsh? I'm also annoyed that they're asking me to audition for the top class! what? Woojin Kang??”
“Well... this is a bit misleading..”
A place where you think it is an error, a place where you doubt, a place where you complain, a place where you give up, etc..
But obviously.
“······Are you okay? I wonder if I can audition in front of my juniors?.”
“yes, it doesn't matter.”
“After, I got it..”
At this point, the actors' positions were completely divided. Those who want to challenge and those who want to ignore. Of course, there were more people who ignored it..
“Pass, pass! This isn't real! Director Ahn’s work is not the only one in the world.!”
“Yes, yes. How great is Kang Woo-jin? You have to do it in moderation.”
“I don't know if I've taken over the world, but I can't believe I'm auditioning in front of a kid who has a lot less work than me.!”
In any case, it was an issue that shook the domestic actor community..
The next day, Saturday the 23rd. Tokyo, Japan.
A late morning. A high school in Tokyo. It was currently the end of vacation, so there were no students to be seen at all. However, for some reason, a crowd of close to a hundred people had gathered at the playground in front of the school. There were various filming devices lined up there, including cameras, lighting, and audio devices..
The reason was simple.
Because they were the filming team for ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’. After finishing the schedule at 'Inefunaya' village, which was the first filming location, we moved over to this outdoor filming location. Although it was tight, it was an ‘unfamiliar’ team that somehow made it through. At this school, all past scenes that would lead to the 'Familiar Gisaeng' incident were scheduled to be filmed..
The death of Kiyoshi no Ijimena Misaki Toka. And everyone's childhood.
“rail! I'll start by laying the playground here! Next is the classroom!”
“We will pile up trash behind the school.!!”
“School uniforms were provided to the actors.?!”
“yes! I paid it all!!”
“Camera test! one two!”
Therefore, all the main actors appearing in ‘The Stranger’ were scheduled to arrive at this school. There are roughly over fifteen people. Standby time is around noon. It was currently 11 a.m., so not all of the actors had arrived..
Among the many tents set up in the playground, about 5 actors were seen in the actors' waiting tent..
Yasuta, who will soon leave, and Kimi Nakajo, an adult actress who plays the role of Toka Misaki, are two supporting actors. And it was Kang Woo-jin who became a popular star among the entire 'Familiar' team. Woojin is currently maintaining his poker face..
“······”
Sit quietly. But I wasn't alone. Because the handsome Yasta was next to him, chatting away..
“Woojin, oh my god. YouTube subscribers are over 10 million? How did you do it???”
“I just do it as a hobby..”
“Ehh?? What a hobby. This doesn't make sense. You can stop being an actor and just start YouTube! Ah, but you really shouldn't quit. Because I became a fan of Woojin..”
“Is that so?”
“of course! So, Mr. Woojin. Should we follow each other on Instagram? Because it's good to become friends.”
“That's right.”
Woojin was honestly a bit bothered. Ha - he was the noisier type than I thought. Her personality slightly resembles her younger sister, Kang Hyun-ah. Meanwhile, newcomer Nakajo Kimi, who played ‘Misaki Toka’, was also very interested in Kang Woo-jin..
‘Ma, can I talk to you? You'll think it's strange?’
However, he could only glance and take no action. Around this time, outside the tent, some of the frantically busy ‘unfamiliar’ staff members were expressing their doubts..
Because I saw foreigners who weren't originally at the scene..
“What team are those foreigners on??”
“That's my first time seeing it too. Were you at the filming yesterday??”
“There wasn't one, right? what.”
“When I see you talking to the director - Ah, maybe it's the special effects team or the VFX team??”
“But why don't you do anything.”
The group of foreigners who suddenly appeared consisted of five people, including a woman with short brown hair, a man with short orange hair, and a fat man. After a brief talk with director Kyotaro, they only talked to each other and did not get involved in the filming set-up..
A man with ponytails looking at them closely.
“Seup - Where have I seen them before? Especially that brown bob. is not it?”
It was Choi Seong-gun with his arms folded in front of the tent of actors and staff. Today, he was scheduled to return to Korea due to work overlapping there, and was just coming to check on the site for a moment. In that gap, I saw a group of foreigners. But that foreign woman looked particularly familiar..
“I'm sure it's the face I saw, but I can't remember it..”
It was at this time.
“CEO.”
Han Ye-jeong, the head stylist with short blue hair, suddenly came out of the tent and spoke to Seong-geon Choi. a little urgent.
“Did you see this??”
Soon, Choi Seong-geon, who was looking away from the foreigners, turned his head..
“uh? what?”
“I just saw this while monitoring YouTube..”
As she explained, she operated her cell phone and held it out to Choi Seong-gun. A YouTube video was being displayed on Han Ye-jeong's cell phone. It’s been about 30 minutes since it was uploaded.
- 【Exclusive scoop!!】Kang Woo-jin, the sensational actor!! He has already secretly received a screen test for a Hollywood movie?! Entering Hollywood is just around the corner! (Conclusive evidence obtained!)｜Fact Guys
Soon, Choi Seong-gun's brow furrowed when he saw the video title. The reason was simple.
“···What is this? Why and how did this pop up??”
Because a secret that no one should know has been revealed to the world. Even just 30 minutes after uploading, the number of views was already over 400,000..
-410,000 views
The comments were already frantically saturated..
