[A Concerto for Violinist Subin Kim and Actor Seo-jun Lee] – Cooper, reporter

It was a piece that anyone who learned violin would try to play at least once.

Everyone knew that actor Seo-jun Lee played the first violin, but the identity of the second violinist, Bin, was never revealed.

There were various rumors about the second violinist, Bin, from being a professional violinist to being a friend of actor Seo-jun Lee.

This reporter, who was covering the New York String Instrument Competition, accidentally found out about the second violinist, Bin… (to be continued)>

The article by Cooper, which was linked to the post, was in English, but the language barrier seemed to be no problem as the Korean comments quickly increased.

-Wow. So he’s the disciple of Benjamin Morton and Jason Moore??? They’re both world-class;;;

=Then he must be good at violin.

=No no no. He only went to a music academy until he played the concerto with Seo-jun.

=222 He also won the ATR Competition before learning from them.

=33 He was just a genius, but he met them through Seo-jun’s introduction.

-He played the concerto when he was in second grade???

=Wow. I’m just a hobbyist, but it’s hard to play like that even after years of learning;;;

=Second grade talent what…

=Seo-jun was also a genius since he was young, and his brother is amazing

=But he’s not his real brother, or cousinㅋㅋㅋ

=222 Close brotherㅋㅋ

-How are you all so good at reading??

=I used a translatorㅎ

=2

-This New York Competition is amazing too. He’s only in sixth grade now, but he beat all the high school students and won first place.

=He’s not just a high school student, but a high school student from all over the worldㅋㅋ

=People who are interested in violin know that there are some famous kids among those high school students. He really appeared out of nowhere.

-Close brother: Seo-jun / Violin teachers: Benjamin Morton, Jason Moore.

=Wow… I’m speechless.

=He has great connections;;;

The junior and senior reporters also quickly read the article.

Since most of the news related to classical music came from abroad, English was not a big problem.

“We have to upload this quickly, right?”

“Of course!”

The senior reporter shouted as he sat down.

Since it was also related to actor Seo-jun Lee, not only the classical music reporters, but also the entertainment reporters would join in. To secure as many clicks as possible, they had to upload it as soon as possible. R

“Also, add some explanation about Benjamin Morton and Jason Moore! The public might not know how great they are.”

Even if they were world-famous musicians, people who had no interest in music at all might not know their names or faces.

So they had to show as many achievements as possible and let them know that ‘these great people took Kim Subin as their disciple!’.

“Yes!”

A moment later.

Cooper’s article was copied and pasted into an article, and in no time, the portal site’s article section was filled with stories about Kim Subin and Seo-jun Lee.

[Violinist Kim Subin, unexpected connections!]

[Actor Seo-jun Lee, close brother of violinist Kim Subin!]

[The second violinist of the Concerto for Two Violins was in second grade!]

[The disciple of world-famous violinists Benjamin Morton and Jason Moore, Korean Kim Subin!]

-What? What’s going on? Suddenly Seo-jun?

=Is it the story of Over the Rainbow 2? Is there a Korean?

=Gray is half-Korean.

=No, that’s not the story right now.

-So there’s a character named Kim Subin???

=No no. It’s a real story.

=The youngest winner of the New York String Instrument Competition > Benjamin, Jason’s disciple > Acquaintance with Seo-jun > Second violinist of the concerto (in second grade)

=What?? Am I the only one who doesn’t believe it??

=No. Everyone is surprisedㅋㅋㅋ

-They’re also very surprised in foreign countriesㅋㅋ They’re all typing WHAT??

=It’s no wonder they’re surprised that he’s the disciple of Benjamin Morton and Jason Moore. In Korea, he’s famous for [Over the Rainbow] or being Seo-jun’s acquaintance, but in foreign countries, he’s very famous as a musician.

=22 Probably because they have more interest in classical music than Korea.

=Of course, there’s also Seo-jun’s

-I want to hear the performance, but there’s noneㅠㅠ

=It seems like he’s not active.

=He’s only in sixth grade now.

=He became the most famous sixth grader in the world overnightㅋㅋㅋ

When Cooper was laughing with his mouth wide open because of the fact that his article made the whole world, not to mention the United States, buzz.

Seo-jun, who read Cooper’s article and checked the situation in Korea, picked up his phone.

-Kim Subin: Yes! I’m fine!

-Kim Subin: Everyone is surprised and I get a lot of calls and messagesㅋㅋ

-Kim Subin: It’s similar to usual!

That’s good.

His ability to calm the hearts of the people around him and his ability to avoid bad karma seemed to work well. They were both high-level abilities, so Subin would be fine unless there was a serious hostility.

-Kim Subin: Oh, Seo-jun hyung! I also got a temporary manager!

It seemed like Cocoa Entertainment’s support was enough.

Seo-jun smiled brightly and exchanged messages with Subin, who looked excited. Fortunately, Subin didn’t seem to hate being noticed.

“Subin?”

“Yes.”

Seo-jun nodded at Ahn Da Ho, who came in and asked.

“He’s very happy that he got a manager. He said he wished he had a hyung like you, Da Ho.”

“Haha. Really?”

Ahn Da Ho laughed at the compliment. Seo-jun smiled and asked.

“Are we leaving now?”

“Yeah. We’re leaving in 30 minutes. Did you pack everything?”

There was a heavy carrier next to the table where Seo-jun was sitting. The accommodation, which had been full of life for a few days, was neatly arranged.

“Yes. I think I just need to check one more time before I go.”

Ahn Da Ho nodded at Seo-jun’s words.

“It takes about an hour and a half by plane, so rest well when you arrive. There’s a shooting from tomorrow afternoon.”

“Okay. I will.”

Ahn Da Ho, who explained the schedule, went out again and Seo-jun looked out the window.

Unlike Korea, where the sun was shining brightly, the sky was pitch black in Cleveland, Ohio, on the other side of the earth, as it was time for dinner.

Seo-jun looked up at the sky, wondering if there were any stars. He shrugged his shoulders and took out his schedule.

The next filming location was Chicago, Illinois.

“Kansas City was after Chicago, right?”

Kansas City, located between Missouri and Kansas.

And then, the last filming location was Los Angeles, California.

“I’m crossing the US like this.”

From New York in the east to Los Angeles in the west.

He flew across the continent by plane, but he still laughed at the itinerary.

***

The next day.

Chicago, Illinois.

After moving last night and resting until the morning, the staff and actors started to move for the filming.

The B-team staff who arrived in Chicago earlier checked the filming equipment they had installed and managed the extras who would fill the audience seats.

In Chicago, too, there would be a concert of ‘Gray Vainy’.

“Your clothes are a bit… We’ll lend you some. You can change in the waiting room over there.”

A formal suit was required, but some people didn’t wear it.

They couldn’t send those people away and leave the audience seats empty, so the [Over the Rainbow 2] filming team lent them the suits they had prepared in advance.

“We might run out of clothes!”

“Just put on the top! You’ll be sitting on a chair anyway, so the bottom won’t show!”

Emily, the assistant director, shouted.

Seo-jun, Catherine, and Paul smiled at the scene they imagined.

After the time for preparation passed, the filming started on time without delay.

“Ready, action!”

The boundary between light and darkness.

Right in front of the way to the stage, Gray stopped walking.

The violin in his hand felt heavier than usual.

He kept thinking of the old man’s happy face.

It was a sloppy performance and a shabby stage. There were even children who talked and disturbed the violin performance. And there were many noises in the open space.

‘But… why couldn’t he get rid of that image in his head?’

“Gray?”

Gray snapped out of it at George’s voice.

This was not the time to think about that.

Gray stood here with the support and help of his friends and many people.

“I’m fine. It’s nothing.”

He had to repay the expectations of the people waiting there, and the cheers of the people who helped him succeed.

The tie around his neck felt like it was choking him, but he ignored it and took a step forward.

Wow!

A loud applause and cheer sounded.

[Gray Vainy, a successful concert in Chicago, Illinois!]

[The next concert is in Kansas City!]

***

The same evening.

A bar in Kansas City.

[Subin Kim, a violinist who is a disciple of the world-renowned violinist Jason Moore and a friend of Hollywood actor Seo-jun Lee, has been revealed to be…]

Before the baseball game started, a brief news clip came out of the TV that was on.

“Is that something worth being on the news?”

The regular customer of the bar said, and the part-timer’s eyes sparkled.

Searching and gossiping on the internet was the part-timer’s hobby and joy of life. Especially, stories about Hollywood stars were often the topic of conversation, and the customers also knew a couple of Hollywood stars, so the response was good.

“Of course! It’s not just anyone, but Hollywood star Seo-jun Lee who is involved. And they’re filming Over the Rainbow 2 right now. Maybe the production company is sending it out for publicity. Their parent company is Marina Studio, you know.”

The chatterbox part-timer was talking hard with his mouth, but his hands were skillfully wiping the transparent glass cups. The boss in the kitchen didn’t say anything and left him alone.

“He’s 12 years old, right? He’s about the same age as the movie’s protagonist, and he’s also related to Benjamin Morton and Jason Moore, who are famous in the music industry, and he’s very talented.”

“But still. He was a nobody yesterday. Today, my daughter’s been talking about him all day.”

The grumbling regular customer said, and the part-timer giggled. He remembered that the regular customer’s daughter was a sprout.

“People always want to be associated with stars. If you say you know Seo-jun Lee, you’ll be on the front page of tomorrow’s newspaper. You’ll see reporters swarming in front of your house.”

“Enough.”

The regular customer shook his head with a bored face.

“People just want to be linked with stars for no reason. Oh, right. It would be a jackpot if that person showed up!”

“Who?”

“The person who made Seo-jun Lee an actor. His inspiration? His benefactor?”

“Inspiration? Benefactor?”

The regular customer tried to recall, as he had heard a similar story from his daughter.

“…Was it a radio?”

“Yes. When Lee was young, he saw an interview with a bit-part actor and decided to become an actor. It was when he was in the US, so everyone is guessing who it was among the American actors. It would be a big deal if they found out!”

“Is that such a hot topic?”

“Of course! He’s the actor who made a Hollywood star. Even if he’s not an actor now, he could do a couple of commercials with Lee’s fame. And if he makes a movie with Lee, that would be a real jackpot.”

“Huh. I don’t know who he is, but he must have a good life.”

“That’s right.”

The part-timer, who kept nodding his head, went to the kitchen at the boss’s call. The regular customer watched the baseball game that started after the commercial.

[Jack Smith of the LA Dodgers! He’s up to bat!]

[Jack Smith is well known to be a friend of Hollywood star Seo-jun Lee. We hope he shows us a movie-like, amazing game today!]

A middle-aged man who was drinking in the corner of the bar raised his head.

The man, who had a sharp look in his eyes, was once an actor.
