I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 292
The slightly bald Jinju Mayor's wide eyes showed no signs of shrinking..
“······Oh, Kang Woo-jin is here? On pearls? now?”
Because it was truly unexpected news. It's more of a surprise than a shock..
“Are you sure? I haven't heard anything at all. So suddenly without any sign? Where did you check it??!”
“Well, I didn't officially confirm it either, just by chance.-”
The employee who was reporting quickly took out his cell phone. And then SNS. In other words, I accessed Instagram. Then, type ‘Kang Woo-jin’ in the search bar. An unspecified number of employees touch a post containing Kang Woo-jin among recent posts. Woojin is clearly marked. The place is a porridge restaurant in Jinju and the time is about an hour ago. The tag was proof..
“We confirmed that Kang Woo-jin showed up at his parents’ porridge restaurant! There are more posts than just this one.”
“Oh, I see! Are you still at the porridge restaurant? Oh, that porridge restaurant was run by Kang Woo-jin’s parents.?”
“Yes, that's right! Looking through the posts, it seems that Kang Woo-jin is now out of the porridge restaurant..”
“this! We should have noticed this a long time ago!”
“sorry! The visit itself was so sudden and unexpected.!”
“······That's definitely true.”
The bald mayor of Jinju swallowed his saliva with regret. Yeah, that wasn't the problem now..
“What do you think? Do you think Kang Woo-jin will visit that friend for a while and then go back??”
“It doesn't seem to be the case after checking..”
“The basis is?”
“Looking at the articles, it is said that filming for the movie ‘Leech’ was completed around yesterday. If you came straight to your hometown the next day, I think you came to rest at least briefly.!”
“hmm.”
Jinju Mayor nods slowly. The reason why he, the mayor, cared so much about Kang Woo-jin was very simple..
Because Kang Woo-jin’s impact was enormous..
It wasn't just enormous, it was fluctuating between Korea and Japan. As of now, it is safe to say that there is no celebrity who can beat Kang Woo-jin in terms of popularity, issues, and brand power. Simply put, it was the same just looking at 'The Island of the Missing', which recently achieved crazy sales of close to 19 million..
Kang Woo-jin was from Jinju..
As the mayor of Jinju, it made no sense not to drool..
“What are the tourists like at the porridge restaurant there these days??”
“It has already become a famous tourist attraction and is a must-see for tourists visiting Jinju. Moreover, the number of Japanese tourists is increasing these days..”
It was natural because Kang Woo-jin is a scary force even in Japan..
“Jinju is often mentioned on social media by Japanese tourists who have visited there..”
The mere existence of Ujin, Jinju's hometown, is driving public relations and marketing as it pleases, and the key to the many things Jinju market has done has been the revitalization of the region. That's why every year, we put a lot of effort into holding large festivals and holding various events. Being active on YouTube or SNS has become a necessity these days..
It is always essential to invite celebrities or famous people..
Because it is the easiest way to capture the attention and interest of the public. This was evidenced by the fact that most public relations ambassadors for each region were popular celebrities. In other words, for the mayor of Jinju, Kang Woo-jin is the number one candidate. No, she was ranked 0.
‘Even if he mentions it just a few times, not often, there will be quite a lot of articles written about it..’
Kang Woo-jin has already reigned as the ‘issue king’ in Korea since last year. How many issues has Woojin raised and will explode? Is that it? The power of Woojin's 'Kang Woojin Alternate' channel and SNS is astounding. In the past, Kang Woo-jin was just citizen 1, but now it is different. Of course, there are many celebrities and celebrities from Jinju..
However, the current momentum of Kang Woo-jin is more than enough to overcome them all..
Of course, the mayor of Jinju also made suggestions to Kang Woo-jin several times. Promotional ambassador, invitation to big festivals or events, etc. There were times when I just wanted a simple meeting..
‘I also said I would go there myself..’
The mayor of Jinju also said he was going to Seoul in person. The work started last year. Probably after ‘Profiler Hanryang’ explodes.
However, it was a failure every time..
There were many attempts, but the reason BW Entertainment put forward was Kang Woo-jin's tight schedule. Well, it wasn’t that the Jinju market didn’t understand. In fact, Kang Woo-jin has not come to Jinju even once since her debut..
Such a hot actor suddenly appeared in Jinju.?
As the mayor of Jinju, this opportunity could not be missed..
“How is the media now?? If it went viral on social media, some reporters would have smelled it..”
“Yes, that's right. There are already news articles about Kang Woo-jin coming to Jinju..”
“Yes, that's right. Indeed – the power of publicity is amazing..”
The Mayor of Jinju muttered and searched for ‘Jinju’ on his cell phone. In fact, there were quite a few articles containing Kang Woo-jin..
『[Star Photo] ‘Kang Woo-jin’, a legend with an audience of 19 million, was suddenly spotted in Jinju, Gyeongnam... Did he return to his hometown for a break? / Photo』
Has pearls been mentioned this much recently? No, there wasn't. Even if it sparkles due to a festival or event, it cools down quickly. However, just by Woojin's simple actions, Jinju is given such strength..
“I guess this is the brand power..”
Then the bald mayor suddenly got up from his seat and shouted to the staff..
“What are you doing now? Ssak - tell everyone to come in.!!”
Emergency convocation. Maybe it felt like an emergency.
“Unless it's urgent, everything has to be posted here.!”
At the mayor's order, the staff left for a while and returned with key workers. The mayor of Jinju gave urgent instructions to the roughly fifteen people gathered..
“First, start with the media! So that there are twice as many articles as there are now.!!”
“Yeah yeah!”
“Also on our YouTube channel!”
“What are you doing on your YouTube channel?-”
“Frustrating! Just use it to convey news! The content doesn’t matter! Just put the name ‘Kang Woo-jin’ in the title! And put up the banner as quickly as possible! Anywhere you can see.”
Employees' hands become faster when writing in notebooks.
“‘Add a comment like ‘Welcome Kang Woo-jin’s visit to Jinju’!”
It was only Woojin who visited, but Jinju started shaking..
The next day, Saturday morning, the 26th.
The time is around 8 o'clock. The location is in Jinju, where the number of households is not that large, and it is an old apartment building with only 4 buildings. The 10th floor, the frontmost of the apartments, was the house that Kang Woo-jin's parents, Kang Woo-cheol and Seo Hyun-mi, came down to Jinju and built..
The size was quite large. There are also 3 rooms..
The master bedroom used by the couple was the main room, and the remaining rooms were used when Kang Woo-jin or Kang Hyun-ah came. Well, of course, there are clothes and miscellaneous things piled up in each room. Among them, Kang Woo-cheol and Seo Hyun-mi were lying side by side on the large bed in the master bedroom..
They were both awake.
“······”
“······”
I was looking at my phone in silence. Clearly, they are searching for their son who unexpectedly visited yesterday. Actually, we both searched for our son when we were bored, but today was a bit special..
Anyway, Kang Woo-jin’s search results were dazzling..
First of all, the first person information that appears is a nice profile photo, blogs, cafes, communities, SNS, YouTube, etc. Just looking at the search volume and information, it was literally a top actor..
Above all, these knights are still rising even now..
『[Issue IS] Kang Woo-jin appears in Jinju between busy schedules... It turns out that his hometown is Jinju, Gyeongnam』
『'Issue King' Kang Woo-jin, who made a surprise visit to his parents' store in Jinju, took a proof photo with the customers... Fan service is also the best.!』
『[[Photo] “He looks handsome even in a rough picture” Eyewitness accounts of Kang Woo-jin in ‘Jinju’ appearing one after another on SNS/Photo』
Of course, there were plenty of articles on other topics, but Woojin's parents only looked at things related to pearls. No matter what photo of Kang Woo-jin appeared in the article, he was overflowing with style and charm. I could even feel the force of a top actor. That's Kang Woo-cheol, and Seo Hyun-mi hasn't gotten used to it yet..
Seo Hyun-mi lowered her cell phone and muttered softly..
“······Are these photos really my son??”
Kang Woo-cheol, who took the same action, agreed but came to his senses..
“I know. But now let's get used to it. Woojin also came down..”
At this time.
“really!”
Seo Hyun-mi suddenly woke up..
“I need to make breakfast for my son.!!”
“Ugh! okay! Gonom’s favorite fried chicken stew!”
“Please clean the chicken I bought yesterday..”
“Yeah yeah.”
The couple, who agreed on their opinions, finished preparing appropriately and left the bedroom, leaving Kang Woo-jin's cool appearance behind..
however.
-Grumble!
As soon as the couple left the living room, the sound of ramen being sucked rang out. The reason was simple.
“···Woo, Woojin?”
When I woke up, Kang Woo-jin was sitting at the kitchen table eating ramen out of a pot. Of course, there is something about Woojin smiling slyly as he looks at his parents while chewing ramen..
“W - did you have a good night??”
There was no trace of poker face or concept at all..
Kang Woo-jin picks up the kimchi while grinning..
Wearing short sleeves with a moderate amount of teddy bear printing off, a gray sweatshirt that extends over the knees, black hair that is harmoniously mixed with a patchwork of hair, sticking out as if struck by lightning, and the appearance of scratching the head while chewing ramen as if it were itchy..
The essence of Kang Woo-jin itself.
“Do you still like gold alcohol? I feel like I will have a younger sibling. Hehehe.”
Kang Woo-cheol and Seo Hyun-mi, who were seeing Kang Woo-jin like that, fell into a bit of confusion. Because 'actor Kang Woo-jin', who had a force explosion that I saw on the Internet just before, was nowhere to be found. Yeah, it sucks. All that was visible was the 'squeak' that Seo Hyun-mi often hurled at Woojin..
Soon, the couple looked at each other and spoke quietly in unison..
“······Oh, this is my son..”
Seo Hyun-mi, who let out a long sigh, approached Kang Woo-jin and suddenly punched him in the back..
-match!!
“Are you eating ramen in the morning?!!”
after.
Kang Woo-jin was in tatters from the back smash, but he inhaled all the ramen he was eating. Of course, Woojin also finished off the fried chicken soup that Seo Hyun-mi and Kang Woo-cheol made..
“Mmm - as expected, great taste.”
“Do you eat well? I know you're busy, but if you can, don't skip meals..”
“Father, why are you suddenly lowering your voice? I'm getting a little PTSD.?”
“What are you talking about?.”
“No, because a concept came to mind..”
“These days, this guy says he's taking care of his image because of you..”
However, Woojin also brought up the topic he had been thinking about..
“Rather, are you looking for a house? While eating ramen, I looked around and found a lot of new apartments. Or do you want to go to the house??”
“Dude, this place is awesome. Why move it? And all I had to do was expand the store fixtures and even change the car. Use it sparingly.”
Kang Woo-jin's bank account was full of money. All the works that passed the down payment or bonus were huge hits, and money was pouring in like a flood through numerous advertisements, pictorials, and the 'Kang Woo-jin alt-character' channel. It still hurts my mouth to say that the money from Hanryang is still coming in. Well, even excluding all future money, it was like this..
But what can I say, even if I want to write, my schedule is hell so I don’t have time to write..
“A- You mean you are semi-forcibly saving it? I need to spend some money. Our CEO also told us to just use it. Because of taxes or something like that..”
Anyway, after finishing the meal with his parents, Kang Woo-jin took a shower to get rid of his 'squeaky' appearance, and in the meantime, Kang Woo-cheol and Seo Hyun-mi left the house to open the store. Then, around the time Woojin finished showering, he checked numerous chats from Kang Hyun-ah, her younger sister and the president of her fan club ‘Strong Heart’..
For your information, Kang Hyun-ah, who was on vacation from college, also came down to Jinju’s house..
At this time.
-Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
The cell phone let out a long vibration. It was a phone call, and the person on the other end was Choi Seong-gun. Soon, Kang Woo-jin cleared his throat and put the cell phone to his ear..
“Yes, Mr. Representative..”
A low voice that comes out quickly. On the other hand, Choi Seong-gun's voice over the cell phone contained a bit of laughter..
“Kkeut, is it really the issue maker, actor Kang Woo-jin? What kind of appearance did you make in Jinju that got the media into such an uproar??”
“No, I just said 'I'm back'.”
“Again, I said, ‘I’m back’ while being stared at by those around me and being rude.?”
“roughly.”
“Well done. Even if it's a short break, it's not bad for a picture to become a hot topic like this. Instead, don't move too much. Because you went down alone.”
“I know.”
“Even if you try, you'll only be taking a break for 3 days, so forget everything and just sleep. All schedules have been postponed.”
After worrying, Choi Seong-geon changed the topic..
“I called because I had a few things to ask and deliver, and it was urgent. First, I received a call from Jinju City Hall. The content is similar to before, promotional ambassadors or something like that. Are you going to do it??”
“I don't.”
“Even when you're resting there, you're not going to have any short schedule, right? What did they say, I got an offer to attend some kind of donation event or do a Vlog..”
“yes, no.”
“Draw it. Since that's your hometown, I asked just in case. Honestly, the mere fact that you went is enough to mention Jinju. Anyway, I'll cut it myself then. Ah, but Jinju City Hall doesn't really stop people from putting up banners and making a fuss.?”
banner? What a banner. Woojin blinked and nodded his head..
“yes.”
“Also, did Miley Kara send you a schedule or something? There were materials related to the album production and a song guide was also included. I'll brief you when you return. After roughly looking at the schedule, I thought it would be a good idea to go to LA before I was fully deployed in 'Beneficial Evil'..”
“Is that so?”
“Uh oh. When I go to LA, I think I'll spend about a week working on the album. I'm not sure, but I think I'll also have an interview schedule with Kara. Don't come right away once it's all sorted out, let's rest there for a few days..”
Choi Seong-gun put some emphasis on his voice over the cell phone he was reciting..
“I have something to show you in LA.”
Meanwhile, Seoul. DM Productions.
A large number of people gathered in the conference room of DM Productions, where producer Song Man-woo is the director and CEO of the production department. The number of people appears to be over 20. Among them, of course, bearded producer Song Man-woo sat at the head table..
“Next, it’s about location hunting..”
A production-related PPT was being displayed on the front screen of the slightly dark conference room. It was natural. The current meeting was a production meeting for the second half of 'Beneficial Evil', which is nearing the end of its pre-production stage. Therefore, it was more of a confirmation rather than a progress check..
Soon, 3D drawn cuts were listed on the front screen..
‘It was a filming continuity cut taken from the script of 'Beneficial Evil', and only one of the many characters was drawn with a blue line. The protagonist of ‘Beneficial Evil’. In other words, the role of ‘Jang Yeon-woo’ was played by Kang Woo-jin. Looking at the intense cuts, anyone could see that it was an action scene..
Soon, PD Song Man-woo, who was quietly looking at the PPT in front of him, stroked his beard..
“As expected, domestic and set alone are not enough, so let’s confirm overseas locations..”
He whispered softly.
“1Let’s start right away with coordination on the Bangkok side in Thailand..”
