Superstar From Age 0

After everyone who wanted to watch [Mad Hatter] had done so, the media started to pour out articles about [Shadow & Knight] based on the cookie video of [Mad Hatter] and the information posted on the Marina Studio website.

Not only the Korean media, but the whole world’s media.

[The director of ‘Shadow & Knight’ is Jonathan Will, the nephew of Ryan Will, the director of the ‘Shadowman series’!]

[The representative work of director Jonathan Will is ‘In the Name of God’!]

[‘Shadow & Knight’ starring ‘Phantom’ Lucas Turner and ‘Jin Natra’ Seo-jun Lee!]

-I thought Ryan would direct it, but the director changed?

=Ryan said he made all the movies he wanted to make with Shadowman 3.

=Besides, it’s a new series from now on. Wouldn’t a new Jin Natra be nice?

-I’m worried. :( I wonder if they can make it well?

=Director Jonathan is about the same age as Ryan when he made Shadowman 1.

=Wow! He made Shadowman 1 when he was that young?

=Plus, Jonathan has been involved as a staff member since Shadowman 1, so you don’t have to worry. And he’s his uncle’s nephew, so he’ll give him advice from the side.

=222 Jun doesn’t appear in any work.

=333 The script is the priority for Jun.

=Oh. A Sprout has appeared.

It was Seo-jun’s love for his work, which even the overseas Sprouts knew well.

-Huh? Is the controversy over the lead actor change gone?

=You’re slow. Look at this. (Link to the translated capture of the conversation between Moviegoer and the Sprout 0310)

=…No;;; This was just broadcasted, but the translation is already out?

=Look at the source ;)

=Ah. [Sprout]…

=It’s not that we’re slow, but the fans are too fast.

=Agree.

=I watched it and… are those two dogs?

=I think so too.lol

In the meantime, the ‘conversation between Moviegoer and the Sprout 0310’ that was thrown became a new topic of conversation.

[Who is the owner of the footsteps in the trailer of ‘Shadow & Knight’?!]

[No actor change! The lead actor of ‘Shadow & Knight’ is still this actor! Why?!]

-What? The articles are already up?

=The reporters must have seen Moviegoer’s review.

=But Moviegoer’s review is definitely better than the average article in terms of the amount and quality of information.

=222 Where did they get that massive information from…;;;

=Whisper) Maybe it’s the Sprouts spread all over the world.

=…What kind of existence is a Sprout?

=ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But is that really Seo-jun’s footsteps? Not edited?

=22 I didn’t get it even after listening to the explanation.

=333 It’s obvious that they planned it together.

=444 It’s too trivial a sound for Seo-jun to record…ㅋ

-?? Why do you think they fabricated it??

=For publicity.

=ㅋㅋㅋFirst of all, I don’t think that publicity is for Seo-jun or Sha&Naㅋㅋㅋ

=2222 Sha&Na will sell out even if they open without any noiseㅋㅋㅋ

=333 N of them are mine.

=Moviegoer doesn’t need to fabricate it eitherㅋㅋㅋThey’re already famous for overreactingㅋㅋ

-But it’s amazing enough to doubt that they fabricated it. How do they distinguish the footsteps? Do you recognize it if you’re sincere enough to Seo-jun?;;;; ℝἈΝòβĚ𝘴

=I’m a Sprout, and I’m hurt. I’m sincere tooㅠ I’m going to watch Mad Hatter again from today.

=Me too, I’m watching Mad Hatter and I’m getting attached to Mad Hatterㅋㅋㅋ

=Is it the big picture of the Marina Studio to get attached to the season 2 heroes!!

=But I already feel affection for William’s colleague (there will be a movie like Assemble, right??).

=ㅋㅋㅋMe tooㅋㅋㅋ

“Who is the actor I admire?”

Thinking that she would never get used to appearing on entertainment shows, the actor Bae Seung-won, who belonged to Cocoa Entertainment, asked.

A talk show that was attractive for having a comfortable conversation like friends.

The MC nodded his head with a smile and said.

“Yes. I’m curious about which actor you saw and thought that you had to become such an actor without giving up.”

“Me too! The fans must be curious too!”

An unknown actor for 10 years.

Of course, there were many people in the entertainment industry who had such a history, but it was not a time to be ignored.

She became a hot topic and received the love of fans as if he wondered how he didn’t know such an actor with such acting skills and charm. The actor Bae Seung-won was lost in thought for a moment.

There were many actors she admired.

She admired all the actors who were good at acting and passionate. She learned from watching their acting.

‘But…’

The actor who came to her mind first was only one.

Can she bring it up?

Bae Seung-won, who was still careful with every word, glanced at the seat next to her.

Kwon Kang-min, who said he would help her and appeared together, smiled as if to tell her to speak comfortably.

Seeing Kwon Kang-min, who seemed comfortable enough to eat the food on the table deliciously, Bae Seung-won’s tension was also relieved.

“It’s Seo-jun Lee.”

Somehow, she smiled involuntarily.

At the unexpected name, the MC and the cast opened their eyes wide and exclaimed a beat late. Then they poured out words.

“Come to think of it, you and Kang-min are from Cocoa Entertainment, right?”

“Have you seen Seo-jun Lee? I’ve never seen him!”

“Me neither! It’s my wish to see him even once…! Oh, wait… Can I talk about this?”

Wasn’t today’s main guest Bae Seung-won and Kwon Kang-min?

He wondered if he could talk about Seo-jun Lee for a moment.

“This is also the charm of this place, to go off to the side like this.”

“Right! When you talk with your friends, you start with lunch menu and end with world conspiracy theory, right?”

“…No, how does that happen?”

A burst of laughter erupted and the MC regained the center of the conversation.

“Can I ask why?”

“I’ve always thought he was a great actor. He was an actor with amazing acting skills since he was a child.”

‘Yes. Yes. That’s right!’

As if listening to a celebrity’s story, everyone perked up their ears. The production team, who didn’t expect such a response, clenched their mouths and cheered inwardly.

Bae Seung-won honestly revealed her feelings.

“There was a time when I thought that was because of the talent that Seo-jun Lee had. I wondered if I had that talent, wouldn’t I have become an actor who appeared in good works without being unknown.”

Everyone nodded their heads without knowing.

There must have been a time when everyone thought that way when they saw someone ahead of them.

“I thought so, but then I joined the same company and met actor Seo-jun Lee. I was ashamed of myself.”

“Why?”

“To be honest, I thought actor Seo-jun Lee had talent and would only need a little practice.”

Bae Seung-won said with a wry smile. Kwon Kang-min also nodded and smiled in agreement.

“Well, that’s true. Actor Seo-jun Lee is, how should I say it, he makes acting look so easy.”

“…Easy?”

The actor’s eyes widened. What, his acting is easy??

Seeing that, Kwon Kang-min quickly raised his hand.

“No, I don’t mean that… You know, there was a painter who used to draw well. He would paint mountains and lakes with a few strokes on a canvas and say ‘It’s easy, right?’”

‘Ah…!’

The image of the painter with a curly hair popped up in everyone’s mind.

There must have been a footage on the broadcast.

“It’s like he feels like he’s doing it so easily, but the viewers feel like they can never do it. That’s what I mean by actor Seo-jun Lee’s acting.”

Bae Seung-won nodded.

“So I thought he would practice easily, but…”

“…But?”

“He didn’t.”

Kwon Kang-min and Bae Seung-won recalled how Seo-jun practiced.

“Idols or singers have a lot of practice videos, but for actors it’s hard to show their practice, right?”

“True, I’ve seen some script reading videos, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him practice personally.”

Kwon Kang-min said with a smile.

“That’s why I didn’t know. That actor Seo-jun Lee practiced so hard.”

“How did he practice?”

“Well…” 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Kwon Kang-min paused for a moment.

In the center of the practice room, Seo-jun held the script.

His eyes were passionate and greedy as he looked at the script.

He was surprised by the look of his eyes, which were mixed with his ambition and affection, but soon he blinked and started acting. He was strong when he needed to be, and weak when he needed to be. He literally focused all his strength and mind on acting.

‘How should I describe that look.’

Then, Bae Seung-won said.

“To me, he looked like an unknown actor who was practicing with all his might for his first lead role in his life.”

Yes. That expression was accurate.

Kwon Kang-min agreed with Bae Seung-won’s words and nodded.

The cast members didn’t even sigh at their sight.

If Bae Seung-won, who was an unknown actor, said that, how much would it be?

“Uh… Maybe it’s because Over the Rainbow 2 is important?”

“I heard from the staff of the actor team that he practiced like that for every work he did, not just this Over the Rainbow 2.”

He always acted like it was his first role.

With a precious, excited, and passionate expression.

“Wow…”

There were exclamations everywhere. Bae Seung-won smiled and said.

“I admire actor Seo-jun Lee’s passionate attitude. I’ve been acting since I was young, so I wondered if he was tired or bored, but he never showed that. And the sound of his footsteps that became a hot topic this time.”

At that, everyone opened their mouths and said, “Oh!”

“Right. The entertainment news was full of that story.”

“Is that really actor Seo-jun Lee’s footsteps?”

“I only heard the footsteps, they must have used someone else. Isn’t that a waste of time?”

“No! My ears are telling me! That’s actor Seo-jun Lee’s footsteps!”

Kwon Kang-min and Bae Seung-won smiled at the noisy conversation.

“That’s right. Actor Seo-jun Lee’s footsteps. I saw him recording it for a moment.”

“Wow…!”

Bae Seung-won continued.

“At first, I wondered why he would record such a small and trivial sound himself. Of course, I knew it was an important sound. It was the sound that announced the appearance of William Lee. I just thought it wasn’t worth recording separately.”

They all nodded.

There were some comments on the article that said Seo-jun wouldn’t record such a trivial sound.

“So I asked him, and actor Seo-jun Lee said this.”

In Bae Seung-won’s memory, Seo-jun smiled with his eyes round.

‘It’s my role, so I want to act it myself. And there might be fans who recognize it.’

Everyone laughed at Bae Seung-won’s words.

As Seo-jun said, there were fans who caught that small part.

“That actor and those fans.”

An actor who acts even the smallest part and fans who notice that part.

Where else would there be such cool stars and fans?

Bae Seung-won said with a smile.

“I respect actor Seo-jun Lee for that. I want to be an actor who always pours love into her work and character, and doesn’t miss any small details.”

***

“I saw that show yesterday.”

The fact that actor Seo-jun Lee, who looked like a genius, actually practiced a lot, which only the rookies and acquaintances knew, was widely known through the talk show. There were a lot of articles and comments saying ‘a genius who works hard’.

-A genius who works hard…scary;;;

=ㄴㄴ Seo-jun is a genius who works+enjoys.

=That’s even scarierㅎㄷㄷㄷ

-Did he get possessed by a ghost who couldn’t act?

=Seems like itㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“…But this is not acting, right?”

The musicians who were practicing with Seo-jun for the fan meeting stage talked with tired faces during a short break. The woman who brought up the talk show said.

“There was this comment too.”

She showed her phone to the musicians.

-Lucky he’s an actor. If he was an idol, he would have killed the other group members with his sharp choreography.

=In that sense, Blue Moon is amazingㅋㅋㅋ

=Seo-jun: Let’s start practicing! We have to show our fans a great performance!

“Let’s start practicing! We have to show our fans a great performance!”

…Is this a hallucination?

They wondered when they got a new feature that read the comments, and the musicians who were escaping from reality took their instruments in their hands with a resigned face at the sight of Seo-jun’s sparkling eyes.
