In this life, starting from a child role (479)
“Yes, do it.”
Wearing a kind mask, Soo-hyeon showed a benevolent smile to the hesitant Jang-jun.
Hyeon-do, who was sitting in front of him, slightly distorted his face, but Su-hyeon pretended not to notice.
“I… you might be offended… but I think you’re close to senior Hyundo.”
“yes.”
“Actually, I want to act…”
Jangjun continued his explanation slowly, as if he had gained a little more courage from Suhyeon’s smile.
I want to act once the group stabilizes, but I heard that the perception of idol-turned-actors is bad. I’m receiving acting training consistently, but I’m anxious and don’t know the right line for my first role.
These questions were filled with general anxiety about the industry’s transformation.
“It’s not just one thing.”
“I’m sorry…”
“Why did you do something like that? “Be scared.”
“under.”
“I understand Jangjun’s concerns.”
Su-hyeon gently scolded Hyeon-do and stared at Jang-jun.
At most a high school student, the appearance still retains the youthfulness of an adult.
Su-hyeon thought about Jang-jun’s concerns, thinking that he was at an age where he could pursue his dreams.
It was a story I experienced once before becoming an idol-turned-actor.
‘I know this well.’
The present where he walked the path of pure acting and the past where he went from being an idol to becoming an actor.
Su-hyeon, who had experienced both situations, came up with appropriate advice for Hyeon-do’s junior.
“All you need is effort, skill, and talent.”
It was a very simple and somewhat wise answer.
“yes?”
“Territoriality is everywhere. However, the other person’s feelings change depending on your behavior. If you show that you are serious about acting by putting in effort, most people will acknowledge you. “These days, there are so many people moving across industries that it’s a hassle to waste your emotions on each and every one of them, isn’t it?”
“Ah yes.”
“Of course, skills have to be the basics. The same goes for idols. If you don’t have skills, you can’t be treated like a senior. “They just don’t treat actors like juniors.”
“….”
“Talent… sometimes you can make up for it with luck or connections, so don’t stress too much.”
“Yes…”
As Su-hyeon’s kind explanation continued, Jang-jun’s expression in front of him gradually became more and more uncertain.
Hyeon-do, who was sitting across from her, did not smile or nod at Su-hyeon’s words, but his expression hardened.
His face was somehow full of dissatisfaction.
“Talent is important. Because that parted your path and mine.”
“…Oh, that’s right.”
Su-hyeon, who unexpectedly encountered a cringy comment while dealing with Jang-jun, answered a beat late.
Because I was attacked so suddenly, I lacked resistance.
“If you listen, you’ll know, but idols and actors are similar. more.”
“Uh um… thank you.”
Jangjun bowed his head towards the two people and slowly retreated.
The emotion of ‘this isn’t right’ was evident on his face, but Su-hyeon had no further advice to give.
‘Because this kind of thing is too harsh. ‘I can only speak the truth.’
A more detailed explanation would have been possible if they had asked how to make tears appear naturally or how to use lighting.
However, if you ask about the territoriality that idols first experience upon entering the acting industry, the only thing left is Jeonggongbeop.
‘Because luck is blocked in another way. Breaking through with effort and skill ultimately works the easiest.’
How many people will stand still while their food bowls are taken away?
Having experienced both sides of the situation, the best way was to win with skill and be recognized as an actor through effort.
Anyone can say that, but the right answer has always been the same.
“Why are you acting so sweet?”
“Image management. You should do it too. “It’s not like it’s been there for 1 or 2 years.”
Suhyeon smiled brightly and answered in a voice so low that others couldn’t hear.
It was a private place, but since the place was a place, image management was necessary.
“It means you have a flawless appearance.”
“Don’t be too comfortable because it’s your own company. “It’s better to act like a respectable senior.”
“I’m not interested in guys who only chase my halo and results. “Children who only look at the outside and don’t feel the soul are only half-hearted in the end.”
“Oh yeah…”
Su-hyeon reflected for a moment while listening to Hyeon-do’s highly sensitive remarks.
I felt sorry when I thought that my advice might have been heard that way by a boy named Jangjun who had just arrived.
‘Next time I ask, I’ll have to explain in more detail. …I don’t know if there will be a next time.’
Suhyun took his friend’s attitude into account and focused on his meal again.
Everything else about Idol Entertainment’s in-house cafeteria was good, but there were too many cases where people pretended to know each other.
‘Isn’t this something that happens because actors just don’t use the company cafeteria? Sometimes, it seems like everyone just bowed their heads and went their own way…’
Since Hyeon-do is doing well, there must be a part of him that wants to make a mark.
In that respect, I was very grateful to the Crown actors who were each doing well on their own.
“Hello, senior! “This is Junjun from Seven Lights!”
Just when I thought the meal was finally over, someone appeared and greeted me loudly.
Because of the loud voice, attention was immediately focused.
“…It’s a restaurant, so let’s be polite. “For you it’s a greeting, but for others it’s noise.”
“I’m sorry!”
“Slow down your voice. “Now that you’ve said hello, let’s go.”
Hyeondo, who was contemplating whether to enjoy dessert at the restaurant or go out and buy waffles, frowned at the interruption again.
As much as I thought of meeting with friends as a ‘private’ time, I felt dissatisfied with the fact that ‘public’ relationships kept coming up.
‘He’s not sure about what’s inside or outside the line…’
Suhyun may be a friend full of adolescent emotions, but Black Star’s leader Nam Hyeon-do is known as a cold, scary senior who says everything he wants to say and has no way of letting go.
Because he was so strict about his work, those who spent time as trainees with him dropped out of school.
‘Even with Gino, it was a bit too much for us, but it wasn’t for other groups.’
Thinking that people are very consistent, Suhyeon turned off her attention to the junior idol who would soon disappear.
Since I heard something like that, I thought of course he would step down.
However, the opponent was surprisingly persistent.
“Sir, please take a look at this!”
A junior named Junjun bent his waist 90 degrees and held out his smartphone.
Although it was rude, it was not an easy behavior to refuse in a public place.
“go away.”
Of course, Hyeon-do resolutely pushed Jun-jun away, not caring about the opinions of those around him.
Rather, he muttered to himself, ‘Kids are not in a good condition these days,’ foreshadowing further secondary damage.
“It looks like a choreography video, so let’s go watch it. “It doesn’t take long.”
Su-hyeon picked up Jun-jun, who had hit him like that.
Jun-jun looked moved at Su-hyeon, who helped him. He didn’t specifically stop Hyeon-do for Jun-jun’s sake.
Rather, the current action was for Hyeondo.
‘His real name was Seojun or Sijun. I got along well with Gino.’
As she worked in the idol industry before returning, Suhyun was actually more knowledgeable about which idol groups and music tracks were hits rather than whether or not her work was a hit.
I just concentrated on acting and that information became largely useless.
Even though I wasn’t considered a rival, I knew a fair amount about each boy group member.
‘Although there are groups like Lee Hyun-i that didn’t exist before… the changes in this industry aren’t that big.’
Unlike the film and drama field, which experienced a major change with the appearance of actor Soo-hyun, the popular music field took a step back from the influence of the butterfly effect.
This is because the END group’s influence on the industry was minimal or non-existent.
It was a bit of a sad truth.
‘Anyway, the fact that we got along well means that our souls or something fit together well. ‘It’s not good for things to go wrong like this.’
Hyeon-do had a very hospitable personality.
If you like someone, you tend to approach them even if they reject you. If you don’t like them, even if they approach you, you just cut them off.
Su-hyeon hoped that Hyeon-do would not decide the line based on Jun-jun’s first impression.
‘He needs to know that I care about him this much.’
Su-hyeon looked at Hyeon-do and Jun-jun, proud of his consideration for his friend.
As if he couldn’t ignore Su-hyeon’s words, Hyeon-do took the smartphone from Jun-jun’s hand with a sullen expression and played the video.
A fast and strong beat was played, and Junjun, who was beating the beat on screen, continued choreographing to the song.
‘Your skills aren’t going anywhere… You danced really well back then.’
Suhyeon watched the video, lost in memories for a moment.
It was secretly fun to know about the awkward times of people I knew before returning.
“Are you her? “He’s a weirdo who made his debut with his own song as the main song.”
When the video ended, Hyeon-do glanced at Jun-jun with a subtle gaze.
The negative emotions in his gaze had been greatly diluted.
“Yes, yes! Actually, this is also my own song! “My senior said this was great… I’m sorry!”
“What happened? But was that part at 1 minute and 21 seconds intentional?”
“yes! If you want to give it a loose feel….”
“That’s crude. In that case…”
Suhyeon looked at her friend who was grumbling but also giving appropriate advice.
Just as Hyeon-do, who felt a lack of talent, gave up acting and entered the path of becoming an idol, Su-hyeon before returning made a breakthrough through acting, not as an idol.
‘To put it another way, it’s a lack of talent. A talent that can fit in there.’
I’m not jealous, but it’s a bit disappointing that I can’t be there.
Su-hyeon stood up, holding a tray.
I was thinking of leaving first for my busy friend.
“Where?”
“I thought you were busy. “I’m done talking. I’ll go first.”
“That’s funny. you. Did you say Junjun? “Let’s go now and come to my studio tomorrow at 9 o’clock.”
“Yes, senior. thank you!”
Hyeon-do, who caught Soo-hyeon, ordered Jun-jun to congratulate him and raised his own food tray.
Perhaps because he achieved his goal, Junjun fell off easily unlike before.
“Are you upset? “Aren’t we friends?”
“So you said you would get out of the way…?”
“under. Do I look like a person who prioritizes interesting juniors over friends? Even abandoning a rival who has decided on a goal together?”
“Hyeon-do… This is the company cafeteria…”
Su-hyeon laughed awkwardly, trembling in slight shame.
I didn’t want to cause a second broadcasting station hallway incident when there were so many people secretly watching.
“Friendship never changes.”
However, despite Su-hyeon’s wishes, Hyeon-do put him to death in shame until the end.
For a moment, they were worried about whether their image was okay as is.
“…Let’s quickly go out and buy some waffles. “I heard there’s a house here that’s good at cropping.”
“Oh yeah. let’s go.”
Su-hyeon urged Hyeon-do with the most natural smile on his face.
We did our best to prevent further damage.
‘Still…’ Soo-hyeon
was so embarrassed that the entire time she left the restaurant and headed to the waffle shop, Su-hyeon’s red ears didn’t know how to regain their original color.
There was no way to forget it because it would be flashbacked again.
‘…Not bad.’
Even though she was so shy, a soft smile suddenly appeared on Suhyeon’s lips.
