I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 267
5Children's Day on the 5th of May, Japan.
Around morning. Currently, Japan is a step behind Korea, but it is in its own way abuzz with the issue of Kang Woo-jin. So did the media and public opinion. It was already known that Woojin won awards at the same time at the Baeksang Awards, as did the sudden news of his work with Miley Kara and the 'Kimjaban Makguksu' cup ramen..
The two news were already hot topics on Japanese social media..
『Hot ‘Kang Woo-jin’ cup ramen also lands in the Japanese market』
In particular, the Miley Kara connection caused a great shock to the Japanese entertainment industry. And the ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’ cup ramen was selling like hot cakes in Japan as well..
Because it caught the trend in Japan..

[I went to Shin-Okubo and bought Kang Woo-jin cup ramen!! This is really delicious!!! I'm serious! I waited in line to buy it, but I have no regrets!! Run quickly!]
[#Kang Woojin #Kang Woojin Cup Ramen #Kimjaban Makguksu]
In addition to the abundance of proof shots from the Japanese public, Japanese YouTubers also mass-produced videos related to 'Kimjaban Makguksu' cup ramen. There were even many other dishes made with cup ramen..
We haven't been able to watch the broadcast of 'Our Table' yet..
Well, there were some edited versions released on YouTube, but compared to Korea, it was minimal. The current crazy phenomenon was, of course, the work of Kang Woo-jin alone. His influence alone is shaking the Japanese public..
-Kang Woojin finally bought cup ramen!!
-I'm jealous...I can't find a convenience store in front of my house yet...When will it come in??
-If it's hard to find, just go to Shin-Okubo! You have to wait in line to buy it, but it seems like they have a lot of stock.!
-wwwwI've been eating this for a week now
-But this was really developed by Kang Woo-jin.??
-To be more precise, I developed a dish and released it as a product.
-What on earth is Kang Woo-jin? Are you a chef? Or an actor?
- I heard that a voice actor is also participating this time and that he is planning to work on an album with Miley Cara... Now I am wondering if his identity is an alien.?
-Hehehe! alien! There is a possibility!
Meanwhile, actor Kang Woo-jin, who caused earthquakes in Korea and Japan, was staying at the hotel. It was a high-end hotel in Tokyo, and Woojin, dressed in black pajamas as if he had just woken up, was brushing his teeth in the bathroom..
“······”
Woojin's hair was scattered and his eyes were blurry. Looks like he just woke up. Brush your teeth mechanically without thinking. It looks like the concept has been put aside for a moment. Of course, in the midst of this, his cell phone, which was resting on his bed, was receiving an incredible number of messages..
-Ugh.
-Ugh.
Talk, text or DM. The reason is simple. It was obvious that Korean acquaintances and colleagues who had seen the preview of 'Island of the Missing' sent me messages. It was a mess last night too.
“After - so tired.”
Kang Woo-jin, who had just washed his mouth, sighed. Looks like fatigue overlapped. Well, it was worth it. As soon as I came to Japan, I returned to filming 'Familiar Gisaeng', and while I was in Korea, my schedule in Japan was quite busy..
‘These days, aren’t hotels just my home??? If this is going to be the case, do I really need my own house??’
He had never had such a hellish schedule in his life. He said, If there wasn't space, he would have raised the white flag a long time ago. Of course, it was fun, but it was Kang Woo-jin who really felt the pressure..
‘Ha-damn. The schedule was full today too.?’
There is no filming for 'Island of the Missing' today, but I had a brief meeting with director Kyotaro and also got to see A10 Studio regarding 'Boyfriend: Remake'. Interview and pictorial in the afternoon. At night, there will also be a personal promotional video shoot prior to the release of 'Island of the Missing'. The entire 'Island of the Missing' team is accelerating their promotional schedule, but since only Kang Woo-jin has come to Japan, this much must be done..
an hour back.
Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-geon with ponytails appeared in the lounge inside the hotel..
-Sigh.
Woojin quickly monopolized the attention of the guests in the lounge. Unlike in the morning, Kang Woo-jin, who was dressed like a young man, looked stern. Of course, he also had a calm coolness on his face. However, the inner Kang Woo-jin was busy thinking about other things..
‘Wow, what is it? It smells like bread. It's a bitch!’
What Woojin met was director Kyotaro, who was wearing a hat that was pressed down, but still showed a lot of gray hair. I stopped by for a moment to meet Kang Woo-jin before filming. Director Kyotaro, who was looking at his cell phone, smiled at Woojin and spoke Japanese..
“Haha, Mr. Woojin. Since we're both busy, let's keep it brief..”
“yes director.”
Director Kyotaro took out several pieces of paper and showed them to Woojin. It was a few scenes from the scenario of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’..
“Woojin may already know this scene, but I'd like to change it up a bit. I've already finished talking with writer Akari and the key staff. I told Mana Kusaku yesterday..”
“······”
“The first meeting between Kiyoshi and Detective Mochio. I would like to take this cut in two directions. One is as the storyboard is, and the other is as the actors want with the lines from the scene removed. I hope Kang Woo-jin and Mana Kusaku can express themselves freely. What do you think, Woo-jin??”
freely? Are you talking about something like an ad-lib? Throw a character into a situation and let them figure it out? Although she was a little surprised by the unexpected proposal, Kang Woo-jin's face was calm. She was a mix of concepts, but she was also sincere..
‘‘‘Freedom of role’, I think I can use that..’
Because it wasn't that difficult.
“Yeah, it's not that difficult.”
“Fortunately, the. For your reference, according to the filming continuity, this cut will probably be the last day of filming for 'The Stranger.'.”
“Is that so?”
“hmm. And there will probably be some customers that day. Writer Akari and film company executives. And even Chairman Hideki Yoshimura.”
In other words, it meant that all the people connected to the ‘familiar gisaeng’ were gathered together..
backwards.
Time flew by like a bullet. While Kang Woo-jin was melting down his schedule in Japan, a movie war was literally unfolding in Korea..
The peak season has begun.
『Children's Day, a movie theater filled with crowds...it's peak season/photo』
Movies that had been waiting announced their release one after another. Movies that exploded in popularity the previous week quickly waned, and newly released movies gained momentum. Big movies and Hollywood movies scheduled to be released in the future were also promoted like crazy. Not to be outdone, ‘Island of the Missing’ also stepped up its marketing and promotions..
-‘‘Island of the Missing’ㅣ3rd official trailerㅣOullim Film Company
Many video platforms, including YouTube, were bombarded with advertising-like trailers, character introduction videos, and making videos. Of course, the same was true for other movies. Actors added momentum to the movie war through stage greetings, entertainment shows, and YouTube appearances according to their individual schedules..
『[Movie Talk] From blockbuster Hollywood movies to movies by great directors... new movies are pouring in, only movie theaters can make you laugh.』
So Saturday, May 8th.
Just in time for Parents' Day, Kang Woo-jin's parents, Seo Hyun-mi and Kang Woo-cheol, arrived at the premiere of 'Island of the Missing'. Not only the two of them, but also Woojin's younger sister, Kang Hyeon-ah, and her friends, who are executives of 'Strong Heart'. Of course it was Kang Woo-jin’s invitation..
Seo Hyun-mi and Kang Woo-cheol's faces were full of emotion when they arrived at the movie theater..
“Oh my god - honey, look at the monitor over there. Woojin, our Woojin is the main character..”
“Brown rice... What's new? My son is cool though.”
Seo Hyun-mi held up a small poster for ‘Island of the Missing’. Group shot of actors in military uniform in front of a cave in the background.
“Interesting. Woojin is also on the poster here. as the main character.”
“surely. During 'Drug Dealer', it wasn't so obvious..”
Among the 'Island of the Missing' posters and life-size posters that were already spread out, Kang Woo-jin was proudly in the front row along with other top actors. Soon, Kang Hyun-ah called her parents in front of the theater where the preview was to be held..
“mom! dad!! We have to go in!”
‘Island of the Missing’ is gradually gaining publicity. Thanks to master director Kwon Ki-taek, top actors, and issue king Kang Woo-jin, ‘Island of the Missing’ sold well. However, the official release date of ‘Island of the Missing’ is May 19th. The other film teams participating that day were also not weak in firepower..
“article! Spread more articles! You're weak!!”
“I will request it from the distributor right away.!!”
“Definitely give it twice as much as ‘Island of the Missing’! Looking at the atmosphere, this promotional schedule doesn't work, I'll talk to the actors and schedule more entertainment shows.!”
“yep!!”
Competitors were also pouring money into promotion. As we get closer to the 19th, it becomes endless..
“It's peak season, peak season! You have to come to your senses. I dug up some reviews of the ‘Island of the Missing’ preview.?”
“There aren't a lot of them, but I got quite a few rave reviews. The quality seems to be poor!”
“Director Kwon Ki-taek must have been left out. Tsk, honestly, it's best if the content is so bad that it falls apart on its own.······”
“19Isn’t it a bit unreasonable to set the release date for work???”
“no. That's the perfect time, it's also a red day because it's Buddha's Birthday. If you push back, there will be a series of big Hollywood movies. ‘Island of the Missing’ is worth mentioning..”
19There were only 4 movies released on the same day. 3 domestic, 1 Hollywood.
“Let’s double the advertising on YouTube..”
“We already have the most?”
“You have to go even more overwhelmingly. The good news is that Kang Woo-jin is not in Korea right now. This is an opportunity.”
Competitors rush in with their eyes lit up. In addition, the movie version is literally flooded with new releases. However, Kang Woo-jin supported ‘Island of the Missing’ in a different way. Including issues that are already prevalent in the media and public opinion.

Kang Woo-jin was not only an actor, but also a monster YouTuber and influencer..
This marks the beginning of the movie war..
『‘‘Movie War’ dawned on May 19th... ‘Island of the Missing’ sortie completed』
5The 19th of the month dawned.
5Mon 19th, Wednesday. Buddha's birthday.
A late morning. Perhaps because it was a red day, Seoul's subways and buses were quieter than on weekdays. Well, there are still a lot, but compared to the war on going to work, it seems quiet..
At that very time, three familiar men appeared in a large multiplex movie theater near Pangyo Station..
The three who just got on the elevator.
“Ah, crazy, I never thought I would go to the movies with the peppers on my day off..”
“Kyeongseong Lee. Just leave out the candy in your hand. What are you eating in the morning? And we went to the movie theater once before, right? When Woojin watches ‘Healing Bureau’.”
“Haha, that bastard Lee Kyung-seong was eating popcorn back then too..”
“Shut up. Hyunggu and I ate it too..”
They were Kang Woo-jin's friends. The reason I headed to the movie theater despite grumbling was simple. It was to see ‘Island of the Missing’, which was officially released today. Next, Daeyoung Kim, who had just clicked on the floor number and was on holiday for the first time in a while, spoke to Hyeonggu Na. Na Hyeong-gu was busy contacting someone earlier..
“Where is your girlfriend??”
“Looks like he's waiting in the lobby.”
“Oh, okay.”
For reference, these three were invited to the preview by Kang Woo-jin, but could not come due to timing constraints. That's why we gathered separately today. Anyway, the elevator gradually filled with people as it went up each floor. There was not enough space so there were many people who were eliminated and had to take the next one..
Na Hyeong-gu, crumpled in the corner, whispered to Kim Dae-young..
“Hey, there are a lot of people. Is this all about going to the movies??”
“Back purge. You don’t press the floor number..”
“Wow, it turned. It's 11 in the morning. Who is there?-”
“It's a holiday, right? It's a busy season at movie theaters these days..”
-Ding!
During the conversation, the elevator arrived at the movie theater, the doors opened, and people streamed out into the movie theater as if the tide was flowing. The same goes for the trio of friends..
At the same time, the three opened their mouths..
“Wow...what is it???”
“There are so many humans. What is Shiba???”
“It's crazy. War man? Is it full as if some people have taken refuge??”
It was because I was shocked by the crowd of people in the movie theater lobby. The ticket office, concession stand, and waiting sofas were crowded. Families, couples, male and female friends, singles, etc. Thanks to the amazing people, the movie theater lobby was reminiscent of a club, only without the lights. That's how crowded it is.
“Wow, my ears hurt.”
“Hey, find Na Hyung-gu’s girlfriend quickly. If you make a mistake here, you won't be able to find anyone..”
“uh. ah! here! It's a pearl!!”
Soon, Na Hyeong-gu's girlfriend was added to the team, making it a four-member team. The leader of this team was the sturdy Kim Dae-young..
“···It's truly a battlefield. Hey Lee Kyung-seong, if you want to eat something, go get it. If you want to take a proof photo with Hyung-gu and his girlfriend, do it now. I'll issue a ticket.”
“okay.”
“But I made a reservation?”
“of course. I bought it as soon as it opened a few days ago..”
The team quickly dispersed. Daeyoung Kim stood in front of the ticket machine with difficulty and picked out a movie ticket. He waited for 15 minutes because of the line. Kim Dae-young, who picked the ticket, picked up his cell phone, surprised by the crowd again..
“Wow, if Bundang is like this, how much more crowded is Seoul? At this rate, it would probably sell out.?”
He checked the current movie theater's show schedule. There are four new movies released today. Among them, Kim Dae-young filmed ‘Island of the Missing’..

Immediately Daeyoung Kim’s eyes widened..
“Yes, yes.??!”
Because it was a sold out procession..
He then quickly searched for ‘Island of the Missing’ on a portal site. The first thing I saw was an article..
