In This Life, he
was teased when he appeared as a child dressed as a woman (454), but instead of ignoring it, Seohan focused on the screen again.
The audience seemed to have adapted as well, and there was silence again in the theater.
‘I saw it while editing, but I don’t think it went up on the scaffolding.’
Finally, the scene where Soo-hyeon and Myeong-jin… or rather, ‘Yuseong’ and ‘Myeong-ho’ meet.
Su-hyeon was impressed once again when she saw that she was shorter than Myeong-jin and appeared naturally.
The height difference created through angle and perspective without CG completely obscured Soohyun’s height on screen.
‘It’s just me, but I feel a little bad.’
When I think about it, I don’t remember dressing up as a woman even when I was working as an idol.
Although she can be as shameless as she wants for her role, Soo-hyun secretly put the item ‘cross-dressing’ on the list of things she disliked.
Aside from the fact that it matched well, it was painful to watch on screen.
-He dragged me here! It’s not me!
The three people, who had already become weak, tried hard to ensure their own safety by selling each other out.
Of course, Soohyun on screen did not understand these people’s excuses and expressed the sadness that ‘Yuna’ must have experienced.
The male voice coming from the mouth of a beautifully dressed woman gave a strange sense of disconnect, but it was also offset by the sparkling eyes of a crazy person.
“Ugh….”
“Ugh.”
Deep. When the unpleasant sound of the blade cutting into flesh was heard, the audience let out a low groan without realizing it.
Just like the tragic scene in ‘Yuna’, Jeong-hee conveyed the horror through indirect images this time.
Drops of blood splashing on the wall with a thudding sound, a slow and gloomy background sound, a shadow clearly showing the act of stabbing.
The scene that continued like that ended with Soo-hyeon’s face covered in blood.
-Ha….
The person on the screen exhaled in a voice full of desperation, then raised his back and slowly looked behind and to the side.
The long zoomed-out screen showed Myeong-jin, covered in blood, and the two people who had collapsed.
The wig, which had suddenly come off, was covered in blood and was rolling around on the floor, adding to the horror.
―Ha haha…
Suhyeon’s voice coming through the speaker was empty.
On the screen, he seemed not to be completely happy even though he had avenged his younger brother.
‘He was so driven by revenge that he went to the extent of murder, but he was an ordinary person.’
Soo-hyun, who is famous for not having any NGs when acting that scene, also re-filmed the same angle a couple of times.
This is because it had to contain a variety of complex emotions, such as sadness at having taken revenge but had to come this far, anger at wondering why one had no choice but to do this instead of the country, and futility at the thought that everything was over.
Jeong-hee wanted to give the audience a lingering feeling of discomfort rather than relief, and Su-hyeon faithfully followed his intention.
-There… the police station, right?
Su-hyeon dropped the knife and trudged over to the wall and leaned against it as if it were collapsing.
He moved his lips slowly, taking in the tragedy before his eyes.
-I killed someone.
The voice of the police officer on the other end of the phone was as inaudible as when he acted alone during filming.
It seemed like it was intentionally omitted so that we could more clearly experience the emotions that Su-hyeon… or rather, ‘Yoo-sung’ was feeling.
Piyo. Piyo.
The image of Soohyun losing her mind gradually faded out with the sound of a siren coming from afar.
As the screen went completely black, white letters appeared on it.
The story was that Sae Sung-ryul, who is currently incarcerated, was sentenced to several years in prison.
The photos taken in front of the police station when he was arrested also passed like a slideshow.
I found it ironic that although private sanctions were successful, his final appearance was no different from other criminals.
“It’s political.”
When the ending credits rolled and the audience had somewhat left, Seohan said something meaningful.
Su-hyeon looked at him in confusion, but Seo-han’s eyes were still focused on the screen.
“…Can you see that right away?”
“huh. Even if you take revenge, it will only be futile. But what made him like that is an old law that has become absurd… I think that message is rather clear.”
Seohan immediately understood that Jeong Hee was trying to shape and pressure public opinion through her work.
He soon asked for the director’s information and upon hearing Jeong-hee’s age, he commented that she was young.
“Of course, the ones who deal with such sensitive topics are usually directors with a distinct personality or new directors that the public knows about.”
“Does it feel too raw?”
“no. The direction and video were really good. “I just hope that the director doesn’t fall into that direction too much.”
“…?”
“If you watch a movie that misleads public opinion, it’s easy to mistake yourself for being a great leader.”
Although he appears in a variety of movies and dramas every year, Seohan avoids works that may lead to sharp conflict between political and social subjects.
Although he has appeared in works that expose society, such as ‘Praise’, he has refused content that has a high possibility of becoming a ignition.
Soo-hyeon thought it was because there was no work she liked so far, but Su-hyeon realized that it was an intentional avoidance.
“If that continues, ultimately it is incitement. …An actor’s face and acting skills can become a speaker of instigation at any time, so we must be wary.”
If you want to act without controversy for a long time, it is better to be neutral.
He was talking about such things a little seriously, and then he laughed when he saw Soo-hyeon with a complicated expression.
“Still, if I get good grades, I’ll be able to look forward to the end of this year.”
“…yes?”
“Because it’s exactly what the judges will like. “If I just break even, I’ll be a candidate, right?”
Seohan, in particular, said that King Taejong-sang greatly prefers such works, and with a light tone of voice, he eased Soo-hyeon’s frown.
It seemed like he was paying attention to what I said was political.
“It means be careful about the future. “Don’t take it too seriously.”
“yes.”
“My brother found a delicious homemade cake shop. Do you want to go with us?”
When Su-hyeon’s mood was still down, Seo-han tried to placate him with something to eat.
For a moment, I thought, ‘Do I think I’m someone who can easily get away with food?’ After thinking about it, Suhyeon quietly nodded.
I wasn’t really into food, but I was a little curious about the store that Seohan was talking about.

[Oppa) I was fooled by the poster. (Spoiler)]
Today, I went to see a movie with my boyfriend for the first time in a while, and there was a movie starring Kang Soo-hyun, so I made a reservation.
The poster was completely pastel and showed Kang Soo-hyun embracing an actress and looking happy, so I thought it was a romance or a drama.
…(omitted)…
I panic for a moment when the ㄱㄱ scene appears… After that, Kang Soo-hyun’s cross-dressing causes a second panic and a third panic from the murder. Wow…
…(omitted)…
I watched it well, but the content made me feel uncomfortable, so I broke up with my boyfriend early. It was a movie that left a bit of a lingering feeling.
Those watching, please be careful.
└Wow, I almost got fooled too. Thank you for your review.
└This was known before release. It was said to be based on the ㅇㅅㅇ incident….
└It’s very difficult to see it in local areas. ㅠㅠ There are no theaters where it was released ㅠ
Although the font was a little creepy, the poster for ‘Oppa’ vividly captures the happy times of ‘Yuseong’ and ‘Yuna’.
This means that if you go to see it without knowing the content, it is easy to mistake it for a lyrical movie.
It was a kind of fishing, but surprisingly it became a point and spread word of mouth throughout the community.
It was a success of noise marketing.
‘I wonder if this was even calculated…’
Su-hyeon went around movie-related communities and checked audience reviews.
Although there were many people who said they had been deceived, there were also many responses that defended the incident, saying it was a well-known fact.
The public’s interest in the ‘Wee Sung-yul high school student murder case’ has also increased.
‘This is all smooth sailing.’
After one week, ‘Oppa’ ranked 5th at the box office.
Considering that the number of screens was overwhelmingly smaller than that of competing films, it was a significant performance.
‘Thanks to this, the number of screens this week increased by 60 compared to the previous week.’
‘Oppa’, which started with a small number of theaters, gradually attracted the public’s attention due to the synergy of famous actor Kang Soo-hyun’s cross-dressing and the completeness of the work that reconstructed the incident that became an issue a few years ago.
And so much controversy arose.
[Please address the debate regarding the murder of
If you wallpaper it, it will be considered an act of indignation and will be cut.
└No matter what, isn’t it a bit like glorifying murderers?
└The law is wrong. Are you going to shut up even if your family dies?
└My family is here again haha. Emotions are enough, right?
└We should try to change the law in a good direction. If the solution is murder, why do we need the law?
└The Chosun Act and the Juvenile Act must be abolished. How many controversies have there been?
└Yes~ It won’t change until one of the soups gets stabbed by a Chobeop. ㅅㄱ
└It’s a glorification of murder, but it was a bit refreshing. I think this is a movie worth thinking about in many ways.
When it reached its third week of release.
In each community, various words were exchanged about whether ‘oppa’ was right or wrong.
In particular, extreme supporters and extreme haters met and created a mess on the bulletin board.
The uproar grew to the point that even those who were not particularly interested in the movie were concerned, and petitions were posted.
It was a request to quickly pass the ‘Juvenile Act Amendment Bill’ currently pending in the National Assembly.
‘…It’s like a forest fire.’
Su-hyeon, who spent her days doing her own thing, was embarrassed as she watched what was happening on the Internet.
He suddenly became the eye of a typhoon because a movie made it to the front page of a newspaper, and he even paused on YouTube and social media for a moment out of hesitation.
Even if you don’t upload anything, people ask about various things in the comment window, and it seemed like it would make more noise if you uploaded the latest updates.
‘I never thought it would be a good thing that I didn’t have a DM… That’s why Seohan said that. Wow, I really need to be careful.’
With that in mind, Soo-hyun checked the group chat room where the ‘Oppa’ actors were gathered.
Perhaps because it was made up of young actors, the actors, including Hansol and Myungjin, continued to be close friends without leaving the chat room even after filming was over.
Even though the conditions were good for diving, they wrote down their impressions or expressed their joy by saying that they had watched a movie.
[What should I wear to the movie theater this week?]
[I’m going to wear a school uniform!]
[Oh, what kind of school uniform are adults?;;]
Those in the group chat room were eagerly sharing their opinions today as well.
Unlike usual where they said what they wanted to say in a random manner, today’s topic was all unified.
‘It’s only natural because I didn’t know it would end up like this.’
Watching the actors making a fuss, Su-hyeon understood their feelings.
When Su-hyeon first realized that the work was successful and that he had contributed to its success, Su-hyeon couldn’t help but feel joy.
In particular, the event that took place a few days later was something that even Suhyun had not expected.
[Just a plain semi-suit and a neat blouse will be fine.]
[Uh! Senior!]
[Brother, should I just wear a suit too?]
[Yes. Wear it normally.]
Soohyun gave appropriate advice to those who were excited.
Fan meeting commemorating the cumulative number of viewers exceeding 3 million.
An event awaited them that made it even more difficult not to get excited.
