[Theater-Novel-Theater! The hidden clues in the play Mirror summarized!]

[The interpretation of the play Mirror by the moviegoer, no, the theatergoer]

[The novel Mirror! Sold out everywhere!]

[You only watched the play? You have to read the novel to see the real thing!]

[Kim Jin-woo, Kim Fake! The actor Lee Seo-jun who played the dual personality!]

[It turns out there was a real protagonist!]

[Real schizophrenia symptoms? Lets dig into the symptoms in the mirror!]

-It was a story of shock and horror.

=222 The play and the novel were both shocking.

-I cant believe such an interesting book was about to fail!

=333 The music too. Im analyzing everything from the title to the composer

-Mirror: The story of a patient who doesnt know hes a patient.

KBC Broadcasting Station, Entertainment Department.

The manager of Red Crown, a girl group from Cocoa Entertainment, came to meet the PD of the entertainment department to discuss Red Crowns appearance on a variety show.

After various meetings, they decided to proceed with the schedule without the main vocal who was injured by falling on the stage.

The manager, who was busy moving around to adjust the schedule due to an unexpected accident, sighed heavily.

Manager Jung!

The manager, who had reported to Cocoa Entertainment and was heading to another broadcasting station, turned his head at someones call.

When he turned around, he saw someone smiling at him.

It was the PD of the cultural program that Red Crown had appeared on.

Oh, PD Park. Long time no see.

What a coincidence to meet you here. Its such a great coincidence!

The PDs and writers of the cultural department who followed PD Park groaned.

What are they going to do with that acting?

Ahahaha. You must be doing well these days! Red Crown is popular and youre traveling around a lot

I heard Lee Seo-juns play went well! He was about to continue his sentence, but PD Park stopped when he saw the writers making an X sign with their arms and looking panicked.

Oh, one of the members got hurt

PD Park closed his eyes tightly at the managers words. Pre-research. He should have done some pre-research.

Oh I see.

He wondered how to say it for a moment, then decided to just blurt it out.

We have a program in our cultural department that introduces books, and I think Lee Seo-juns play would be perfect for it. Dont you think?

Ah.

The manager understood why PD Park called him. Well, this wasnt the first or second time this happened, so he automatically answered like an answering machine.

Lee Seo-juns work is handled by Team 2. You should contact our company.

Haha. They seem to be very busy over there.

He didnt even know if they read his emails or phone calls properly.

The manager of Red Crown, who had no authority over Lee Seo-juns work, was about to refuse when he heard another voice.

The cultural program wont have a good time slot.

PD Park flinched and looked at where the voice came from. The PD of the entertainment department was walking over with a smile on his lips from the parking lot.

Manager Jung. We have an entertainment program that changes its theme every two weeks. The theme this week is theater, and I think Lee Seo-juns play would go well with it. The Wind Theater Group, which is related to Lee Seo-jun, is also scheduled to appear.

We can arrange a special broadcast!

The PD of the drama department appeared from the opposite side. He was out of breath, as if he had run over.

You guys are only thinking of putting it in an existing program, but our drama department will give you a separate time slot!

No, we can also arrange a separate broadcast!

The PD of the entertainment department sneered at the PD of the drama department.

Our drama department director said to ask if theres any time you want. You can choose whatever day and time slot you want!

What! PD Jung! Hurry up and contact the director!

The noisy broadcasting station lobby.

The manager of Red Crown couldnt move a muscle because of Lee Seo-juns work.

Two days after the play Mirror was uploaded on YouTube.

The Mirror team gathered again in the fifth practice room.

Pizzas here!

Chicken! Its at the front gate. Ill go get it!

What about the kids who went to buy drinks and snacks?

Theyre on their way!

Everyone was excited and prepared for the party by laying newspapers on the floor.

Ju-hee, who was leading the preparation, checked the time.

They had permission from the teacher until 5 oclock.

We only have two hours to use the practice room, so lets have fun!

Two hours is enough to have fun and spare!

But what about Seo-jun?

Im here.

Seo-jun, who had just arrived, answered and put down the box he was holding on the floor.

The second-year students rushed to the box and surrounded it.

Senior. What is this?

Can we open it?

Yeah.

The second-year student from the art department who had a cutter knife cut the tape and opened the box.

Wow!

This is Hotel E, right?

Yeah. I tried it last time and it was delicious. I bought some of this and that.

As expected of senior!

As expected of Lee Seo-jun!

The Mirror team kids sparkled their eyes.

From snacks to chicken, pizza, and Hotel E dishes.

The kids smiled brightly at the party full of food they wanted to eat.

Seo-jun also laughed happily in the noisy atmosphere.

Senior. Did you see the moviegoers review?

Yeah. It was no joke. I thought the color of the clothes had two meanings, so not many people would notice.

Right? I didnt know either until I heard your explanation.

But the moviegoer must be a real fan of yours.

Right. He even joined the fan club, didnt he?

The kids laughed at the music team leaders words.

The topic of the conversation was the play Mirror, the novel Mirror, and peoples reactions.

Did you see that?

What?

The morning broadcast. They edited it and uploaded it on YouTube. Wait a minute.

The actor team, Park Si-young, took out his phone. He went to YouTube and clicked on a video.

A man in a white gown appeared. The actor team, Jeon Seong-min, laughed at the sight of his eyes naturally going to his neck.

Now I check the stethoscope whenever I see a doctor.

Me too! I cant help but look at their necks!

Me too.

The kids laughed out loud. Park Si-young pressed the play button while laughing with them. The sound came out of the phone speaker.

[Then lets meet a professor of psychiatry.]

The doctor in the screen greeted and applause sounded.

The kids who were looking at the phone screen tilted their heads.

This looks familiar somehow.

Right.

It looks like something else! My Clinic Plus and Reverse Plus!

At that, the Mirror team kids opened their eyes wide.

Thats right!

There was a moment of silence and the practice room was filled with laughter.

Wow. Thats amazing.

Right. I never thought this kind of broadcast would come out.

Me neither. I knew Seo-jun had a lot of influence, but this kind of broadcast came out in two days!

The kids who were interested in the video gathered around the phone.

[First of all, before talking about schizophrenia, Ill talk about eating disorders. Eating disorders are more than you think]

The professor in the phone screen went on and on.

I wonder if theyll talk about dissociative identity disorder next?

Then itll be sociopath and schizophrenia at the end.

But isnt this too obvious for a broadcast?

The kids chatted with the doctors explanation as background noise.

But its interesting.

Right. There are some facts that I didnt know.

I think it would feel different if I watch the play or read the book again after watching this broadcast.

As expected. KBC makes good broadcasts like this.

They watched until dissociative identity disorder and multiple personality disorder, then lost interest in the video and reached for food again.

They each took a bite of their favorite food and chatted.

By the way, the novel. It became a bestseller, right?

Yeah. It was number one for three months in a row, October, November, and December.

Wow!

Applause and cheers erupted at the success of the original novel. Seo-jun and the kids chatted happily together.

Oh yeah.

Seo-jun suddenly opened his bag as if he remembered something.

The Mirror team kids looked at him curiously as he opened his bag.

In Seo-juns hand was a stiff envelope.

I was going to tell you later, but I think now is better.

What is that? A letter?

Yeah. A letter from Choi Da-ye, the author. She said its for the Mirror team.

Ohh!

What does it say?

She said thank you for making such a wonderful play. She said she couldnt take her eyes off for a moment. She said it was like seeing Jung Chae-wons world and it was more amazing than her own novel.

Woah!

She said she cried because everything was so cool, from acting to background and props, to music.

The kids were touched by Choi Da-yes sincere letter. The sensitive kids even teared up.

Seo-jun smiled and continued.

And she said if you send her your address and name, shell send you a signed book. Send it to me on Banana Talk. And Ill copy the letter and share it with you.

Yeah!

Ill send it right away!

The kids were excited and took out their phones.

And

Seo-juns story wasnt over yet.

The kids who were writing their addresses looked up at Seo-juns voice.

Seo-jun made a playful face and dragged on before saying.

Evan and Rachel enjoyed watching the play. They said you all acted well.

Ahh!

The actor team kids screamed like a scream at Seo-juns words. The music team and the background team kids also opened their eyes wide at the appearance of Hollywood actors.

Seo-jun smiled.

Ryan and Sara directors also enjoyed it.

What! Sara director too?

I thought they would watch it, but I didnt expect them to actually watch it! Eek. What do I do! Im so happy!

The actor team kids chattered with flushed faces.

Even Jeon Seong-min, who had a calm personality, looked lost with sparkling eyes.

The music team and the background team were happy with the actor teams reaction.

Wow. Hollywood actors and directors watched your play!

Thats amazing!

Seo-juns eyes moved to the music team this time. The music team kids blinked their eyes at Seo-juns gaze.

Jason and Benjamin professor also watched the play. They said the music was well matched.

Wow!

The violin majors screamed.

The instruments were different, but they were also impressed by the famous musicians appreciation.

Benjamin professor said he recommended it to his friends. His friends also enjoyed it.

Seo-jun listed the names of Benjamin professors friends one by one. When the name of the pianist he admired most came out of Seo-juns mouth, the music team leader, Kim Chae-yeon, screamed and the others were speechless.

Im crazy

They really listened to my music!?

I should have worked harder!

The excited music team looked at the background team.

Seo-jun scratched his cheek at their sparkling eyes.

Unfortunately, Seo-jun had no connection with the art world.

The only thing he had was the special makeup team.

But Benjamin professor and Jasons friends are not only musicians.

They had a lot of acquaintances as they traveled around the world for a long time.

Painters, sculptors, designers, etc.

The background team kids also cheered at the names of their role models that came out of Seo-juns mouth.

They didnt show their skills like the actor team or the music team, but they were really happy with this much.

Seo-jun smiled at the happy kids.

It was a fun party.
