Chapter 622

[We’re almost at the end of the first part. Stay tuned for the second part after a short break.]

As DJ Jung Yu-na finished her sentence, the commercials started playing.

“That was a good first part.”

“Indeed.”

Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na exclaimed and quickly grabbed their phones. The entertainment news articles were all about Seo-jun.

[Actor Lee Seo-jun’s interest in acting started when he was 6 years old?]

[Who is the unknown actor that Lee Seo-jun mentioned?]

[Korean Independent Film Festival at the time of his military service!]

Every word that Seo-jun said was turned into an article. The reporters must have been ecstatic to type on their laptops.

“There’s this too. The successor of the god of acting.”

“Ugh. He was so cute.”

Seo-jun readily agreed to the compliment that he was a good actor, but he seemed quite embarrassed by the title of the successor of the god of acting.

The fans, who couldn’t see his shy expression, were going crazy on [From Sprouts]. They were sending endless gratitude to the fan who made that comment.

On the live broadcast screen, where only the sound of the commercials could be heard, Seo-jun’s face was still slightly red as he drank orange juice. Wow. He was so cute that he could destroy the planet.

“Bora is the best. Really.”

“I know. I have to watch it again after the broadcast ends.”

The fans were all waiting for the commercials to end.

[Jung Yu-na’s Now with Actor Lee Seo-jun, the second part begins.]

****

“In the second part, we’ll talk about the movie Fire.”

The plagiarism incident was already well-known, and since this radio broadcast was about a different topic, they decided not to mention it.

“Why did you choose to star in an independent film instead of a commercial film? That’s what they asked.”

“I’ve been interested in independent films for a long time. I’ve only done commercial films, so I was curious about the atmosphere of an independent film set. Before I filmed Fire, I thought I would try it if I found a good script, but then I found a script that seemed more interesting, so I chose to do it.”

“Oh. I can hear the sad voices of the directors who were planning independent films at that time. Maybe you could have starred in their movies.”

“That’s possible.”

Seo-jun nodded at Jung Yu-na’s words. It was a plausible story.

“What was the movie that you chose instead of an independent film? They’re curious.”

Seo-jun smiled and answered.

“Survivors.”

-Ooh!

-If it’s Survivors, then…

-True true

-This behind-the-scenes is good.

-Then if he chose an independent film first, he wouldn’t have done Survivors.

“Yes. That’s right. Since the filming dates would overlap, I wouldn’t have done Survivors if I chose an independent film first.”

“That’s why they say life is all about timing. Survivors without Lee Seo-jun. I can’t even imagine that.”

The listeners strongly agreed with Jung Yu-na’s words.

-Yes yes yes yes

-Hyun-wooㅠㅠㅠ

-It was because of Seo-jun and Davis that the story of Survivors was revised and became a masterpiece. If it wasn’t revised, it would have been a mediocre disaster movie. There wouldn’t have been a director’s cut eitherㅠㅠ

Meanwhile, Seo-jun’s words were quickly turned into articles by the reporters.

[Actor Lee Seo-jun, he could have missed Survivors?!]

[Survivors without actor Lee Seo-jun?!]

-What? What??

=He’s on SBC radio right now.

=He’s talking about various things.

As people who were interested turned on the radio, Jung Yu-na and Seo-jun’s conversation continued.

“Why did you choose the independent film Fire?”

“I thought it would be interesting to have a story that progresses from the perspective of Min-han, the observer, rather than from the protagonist’s point of view. When I first read the script, I had no idea that it would be about the Gwangju Declaration of Independence until it came out.”

“Me too. I felt the same way. I’m sure the listeners who watched Fire also felt that way.”

-That still gives me gooseb

-I have to watch Fire todayㅜㅜI suddenly want to see itㅠ

As they unfolded the stories that people were curious about, Jung Yu-na said with a smile.

“We can’t leave out Working Man while talking about Fire. Did you watch Working Man, Seo-jun?”

“Yes. I watched the rerun.”

“Really… I have nothing to say but amazing. I watched the December broadcast and the April broadcast, and I couldn’t imagine it at all.”

-Yes yes yes yes yes

-[Actor Lee Seo-jun / [Fire] Driver of the Advance Team]

-I was shocked when I watched the April broadcast.

“Everyone said that.”

Seo-jun laughed and answered to the fierce reactions of the listeners.

“Did you see her from the driver’s seat?”

“I guess I unconsciously look closely at the details when I act.”

“That’s an occupational disease.”

-Occupational diseaseㅋㅋㅋ

It was a story that had been chewed over a lot, but it was interesting to hear it from the person himself. As they were talking, Seo-jun cleared his throat for a moment, and Jung Yu-na said with a bright smile.

“We have a special guest for you!”

-???

-Special guest?

“It’s a phone call. Hello?”

Seo-jun tilted his head as if he was hearing it for the first time. The listeners had similar expressions.

[Yes. Hello.]

“Hello! Please introduce yourself.”

[Hello! I’m the baby’s mother who received help from Lee Seo-jun and the Fire team at the November concert!]

Seo-jun’s eyes widened at the cheerful voice of the woman. The chat room was filled with !!! exclamation marks, and articles were uploaded in an instant. At the reaction of those people, Jung Yu-na and the production team, who planned this event as soon as they cast Seo-jun, laughed silently.

“Lee Seo-jun looks so surprised right now! Were you surprised?”

“…Yes. I was really surprised. Hello. I’m actor Lee Seo-jun. Are you well?”

[Yes! Our Min-ji, oh, that’s the name of our baby that you saved! Min-ji is healthy and I’m also doing great! Honey!]

[Oh, hello. Lee Seo-jun actor.]

A moist voice of a man was heard.

[Thank you so much for saving my wife and Min-ji back then…]

[Hey, why are you crying! I’m really grateful to you too. I wanted to thank you in person, but I didn’t know you were in the army! But I’m so happy to be able to tell you this way!]

Seo-jun smiled brightly. He couldn’t imagine that the person who was sitting on the bench and struggling was such a bright person.

“The baby and the mother are both healthy. I’m so glad. Really.”

[Ahaha. Thank you so much. Oh, wait a minute!]

There was a rustling sound from the other side of the phone.

Seo-jun, Jung Yu-na, and the listeners tilted their heads.

[Kyaa! Hello!]

Seo-jun’s eyes widened and Jung Yu-na’s mouth dropped open at the sudden sound of a young voice. The listeners who were listening to the radio were the same.

[Min-ji wants to say thank you too. Min-ji, say thank you!]

[Thank! Love! Hello!]

[Thank you!]

[Thank!! You!]

-!!!

-ㅠㅠIt’s an emergencyㅠㅠ

-Min-jiㅠㅠ

-Why are you crying on the busㅠㅠㅜ

-I’m on the subway and everyone is cryingㅠㅠThey must be listening to thisㅠㅠ

DJ Jung Yu-na, who didn’t expect this, quickly wiped her tears and Seo-jun’s face, which was slightly red around the eyes, was shown on the screen.

[Min-ji is already 15 months old!]

[Daddy!!]

[Oh, my! My daughter. Let’s go play over there.]

[She smiles brightly, sleeps well, and has no pain anywhere.]

The happy family’s voices were heard, and the mother’s cheerful voice became a bit choked up.

[It’s all thanks to you, sir, and the staff. Really, really thank you…]

-I’ve been crying since earlierㅠㅠ

-Be healthyㅠㅠ

The chat window was full of tears.

[Oh, and there’s one more thing I want to thank you for!]

The people who were sniffing their noses leaned in to hear the touching story that was about to come.

[Baby mukbang! Really. If it wasn’t for that, I would have been in big trouble! She sleeps well, talks well, doesn’t get sick, and everything is good, but Min-ji doesn’t eat!]

Seo-jun and Jung Yu-na couldn’t help but laugh at the mother’s sincere lament. The listeners were the same.

-Lolololol

-I thought there would be a touching story lololol

-Baby mukbang lololol

-I knowㅠㅠIf it wasn’t for baby mukbang, I would have been doomedㅠㅠㅠ

-It’s still a touching storyㅠㅠBaby mukbang really saved a lot of peopleㅠㅠ

With that, the touching and amusing phone call with Min-ji and her parents ended the second part of [Jung Yu-na’s Right. Now.].

[Blue Moon] by Blue Moon, which means ‘You make me shine because you are here’, played.

“Yes. In the third part, we will talk about the army stories that everyone was curious about. Wow. I never thought I would be curious about the army stories. How was your military life?”

“I lived like other people. I trained, did missions, and stuff. There was nothing different because I was an actor.”

There were question marks all over the chat window at Seo-jun’s words.

-I didn’t live like that???

-Normal people don’t take care of the troubled soldiers…

-There was nothing different because he was an actor…Maybe he just didn’t notice?

“There was a lot of talk about the troubled soldier care. There were a lot of eyewitness stories too. Lee Seo-jun, the sergeant of the White Tiger unit, was very famous as a counselor, right?”

Seo-jun laughed at Jung Yu-na’s words.

“I guess the environment of being together 24 hours didn’t help. Other people helped a lot too. Of course, there were some rough people, but some of them seemed to have a hard time with the sudden isolated life. I just helped them a little.”

-Thank you, Sergeant Lee Seo-jun, for making our idiot son a humanㅠㅠ

-My brother became a human…Now he has to pay his own debt…ㅠㅠ

-…Isn’t paying your own debt a normal thing???

‘Hmm. I know who that is.’

Looking at the fast comments, Seo-jun thought of the troubled soldiers and the old-fashioned soldiers who lived with him.

‘I hope they are all doing well.’

Of course, there were people who were born with dirty personalities, but there were also soldiers who had a hard time adapting because of depression or anxiety disorders. There was also a junior who didn’t even know he had a problem because he had lived like that his whole life.

‘Now I’m fine thanks to my ability, but…’

He couldn’t stop them from getting sick again or having a new disease when they had a hard time or were stressed. He hoped that wouldn’t happen.

“Did you have any fun episodes?”

“I did.”

Seo-jun put aside his thoughts and focused on the broadcast. He smiled and told the story of how the animals kept following him (because of his good mana) when he was training in the mountains, and how his senior asked him, ‘Were you Snow White in your previous life?’ The chat window was filled with ‘Snow White lololol’.

***

“In the fourth part, we will talk about the topic that everyone is curious about, the next work. Are you preparing for the next work? Many people were curious about the next work. Of course, I was too.”

Seo-jun smiled and nodded at Jung Yu-na’s words.

“Yes. I have a work that I’m preparing for.”

-Gasp!

-I knew it!!!

-Right after discharge lololol

-Hard-working Seo-jun!!

Jung Yu-na asked with a curious face.

She had heard that Seo-jun was preparing for the next work, but she hadn’t heard what kind of work it was.

“Can you tell the listeners what kind of work it is?”

“Yes. Sure.”

-Domestic? Overseas?

-Drama? Movie??

-Anything would be funㅠㅠㅠ

The chat window was full of question marks. Seo-jun smiled and said.

“The movie production company that I will work with this time is a place that I had a connection with before. I had a lot of fun filming then, and I’m really happy to work with them again.”

-Movie!!!

[Actor Lee Seo-jun’s next work is a movie!]

The news that quickly popped up made the drama production companies and broadcasters who were worried that the ratings would be stolen sigh with relief, and the movie production companies screamed and moved quickly.

It was Seo-jun’s next work.

If the screening date overlapped, they would be pushed out of interest.

And the actor agencies also started to gossip.

It was the next work chosen by Seo-jun, who had no failure in box office. There was no better work to put their actors in.

Many people were listening to every word that came out of the radio.

-I like dramas tooㅠㅠI can watch them for a long timeㅠㅠ

-If it was Marina Studio, they would have already promoted it.

-Dahong maybe? A historical drama!!!

-Movie Dream??? Escape???

-If it’s Bearound, then reallyㅠㅠㅠ

Jung Yu-na couldn’t help but admire the comments that the production team showed her.

“Wow. The fans know all the movie production companies. I only know Marina Studio… What movie did you film with Bearound?”

“It’s the place that produced Survivors.”

“Ah…”

Jung Yu-na’s face darkened on the YouTube live video.

-Lol you watched the director’s cut lol

-But if it’s really Bearound, I’m scared they’ll make something like Survivors (director’s cut);;;

-I hope they make something like Survivors (director’s cut)!!

“Where is it? The production company?”

Seo-jun smiled at Jung Yu-na’s question.

Then, some music played as background music. It was the sound of a violin.

-Huh? This??

The listeners recognized the song as [Over the Rainbow], the OST of [Over the Rainbow]. Seo-jun smiled brightly and opened his mouth.

“It’s Whale Studio.”

“…!”

The chat window that was rising quickly stopped as if it was frozen.

The majority of the listeners, who were new fans, couldn’t not know Whale Studio. It was the production company that made the movie that won an Oscar!

‘No way, no way…!’

In the silence, the words that the new fans expected came out of Seo-jun’s mouth.

“I’m going to show you the second story of Gray Vainy.”

“!!!”

Seo-jun also had a hard time reading the comments that were rising too fast.

In the end, the live broadcast crashed.
