since this life as a child actor (486)
and ‘Yongma’, ‘Lee Sang-gil’, a researcher who helped ‘Yunho’, has consistently appeared in the world of J World as a shadowy figure, and the most recent work set in Seoul. Even in ‘Sewer’, a sinister force was exuded through cookies.
‘Among the other characters, the one who made a cameo appearance was Yunho’s homeroom teacher, Jeong Don… who died in the sewer.’
For one reason or another, among the actors who appeared in ‘Yongma’, the only character that was considered a good character was ‘Yunho’.
The only actor who introduced his work with ‘Yongma’ was Soo-hyeon.
‘So, I have to stand out as the only character from the prequel.’
Suhyeon stared at the table where the brief greetings and introductions were coming to an end.
There will be more days for all actors to gather in one place and practice, at least once.
If the schedules did not match, there was a high probability that there would be rehearsals for each scene before filming.
‘To put it another way, today is the last time I can leave a similar impression on all actors…’
There is a slight difference between a lone wolf that you secretly admire and an anti-social personality that you just want to avoid.
It was the actor’s role to package that glimpse into charm and imprint it on other actors, directors, and even the audience.
‘I knew and accepted it, but it seems like a one-coin game with a lot of penalties.’
Calming her pounding heart, Su-hyeon looked at Director Heo who was reciting the narration and the actors who were reading the script.
As there were more than ten main characters, ‘Yunho’s’ portion in the overall ‘Wave IN Seoul’ was small.
As a keyman, it is more effective to show off your presence briefly and boldly at the right time and place.
He was a character who attracted the attention of the audience with his flashy appearances and actions at moments of crisis, but in other words, it was difficult to stand out during the script practice that took place while sitting down.
‘But whatever.’
He flipped through the script according to the speed of the actors’ lines.
The scene where ‘Yunho’ appeared with only action instructions written on it passed by in an instant.
From then on, the daily lives of the main characters were developed through dialogue.
‘If a game is easy, it’s not fun, right?’
The reason why I often hear sentences from Hyeon-do comes to mind is because I know that the difficulties are the kind that can be overcome.
Suhyeon slowly waited for his time.
It was fun to listen to the lines and draw the screen.
* * *
“why me?”
“In situations like this, we have to come together…”
“So why should I come together?”
Jaewon glanced at Kang Soo-hyun and Choi Young, who were reading their lines for a while.
The emotions conveyed in the lines were bloody.
‘It’s really unlucky to make a fuss…’
Jaewon, who took on the role of ‘Park Yu-min’, the first daughter of ‘Park Yoon-gil’, felt proud of himself for surviving a tough audition with odds of 500 to 1 and confidently winning the role.
It was quite rare to be given the opportunity to play a significant role in a blockbuster film that was guaranteed to be a box office hit.
Anyway, she defeated many competitors and joined the script practice site for ‘Wave IN Seoul’.
‘Still, I thought I was capable of beating 499 people, but when I came in, I thought this place was some kind of dragon and tiger blood.’
Jaewon, who was confident in his abilities, lost some of his confidence the moment he entered the conference room.
The actors I often see on TV and screen keep each other in check with smiling faces, and my body suddenly stiffens.
‘He was smiling brightly in there and his acting wasn’t bad either.’
Jaewon kept glancing at Suhyeon, who was showing a rebellious attitude with a crooked tone of voice.
In fact, factors other than the success of the work played a role in her application to ‘Wave IN Seoul’.
It was the presence of actor Kang Soo-hyun.
‘You’re only one year older than me, but has it already been 20 years? It’s really amazing.’
It is common to not include your career as a child actor in your career, but when you star in a movie worth over 10 million and even win the Best New Actor Award, it becomes difficult to dismiss it as ‘your childhood as a child actor.’
The opinion was that it was reverse discrimination to ignore this situation, as it was a difficult experience for adults, not just as a simple participant, but as a leading role.
Of course, some argued, ‘Still, it is not right to recognize all of one’s childhood career,’ but even those acknowledged Soo-hyun’s career of nearly 15 years, starting when she won the Best New Artist Award at the Changryong Film Awards.
That’s how unique and unrivaled the actor Kang Soo-hyun was in the industry.
‘Actually, all the kids debuting these days have Kang Soo-hyun as their role model, just like me. Lee Ye-seo and Go Ju-yeol are said to be great, but they just don’t have the child actor jinx, so it’s hard to say they were great from the time they were children.’
3 In an industry dominated by actors in their 40s, Soo-hyun, who competed for the lead role in her 20s, left a deep impression on young actors and aroused their admiration.
Jaewon beat the fierce competition of 500 to 1 for the possibility of working with Kang Soo-hyun.
‘Anyway, I heard that it’s easy to be cool because the role itself is strong and doesn’t have many lines… How can that be cool?’
Watching Soo-hyeon in the midst of her lines, Jaewon recalled the conversation he had with his acting teacher.
The teacher who saw Soo-hyeon’s role said that it would be difficult to confirm the ‘force’ that Jae-won expected, at least in script practice.
The teacher’s assessment was that since there were few lines and the character’s personality was exclusive, if he did not follow his actions, he would likely be seen as a self-indulgent character like some teenagers who have hit puberty hard.
Contrary to that opinion, ‘Yunho’, played by Soo-hyun, had the charm of a cold city man.
‘The way she ticks, she looks like Goyoung yelling at me. Speaking of bad behavior, my family’s Goyoung is also in the 1st tier. I miss you, our Go-young….’
Jaewon, who was thinking about the cat in his hometown according to his stream of consciousness, felt the sweet taste of the part of ‘Yunho’ that had passed away.
It was a bit disappointing that ‘Yunho’s’ lines were short overall and that there was no scene where he talked to ‘Yumin’.
‘But you can still get to know each other personally.’
Even after finishing his lines, his eyes remain on the script until the end, following the lines of others.
Seeing that sincere appearance, Jaewon also stared at the script he was holding.
It was possible to become close while filming, so for now I had to focus on the script like Soo-hyeon.

“Look, this place is empty.”
“Oh it’s true.”
After the first practice of about 3 hours, we took a short break.
Su-hyeon, who was in the bathroom booth, stopped when she heard a voice coming from outside.
Even though I intentionally went to the bathroom on a different floor, everyone’s thoughts were similar.
‘I think a booth is better than facing each other in front of the toilet, but this part is a problem… But I can’t have Soo-yeol standing in front of me.’
When I come out from the inside, I feel like I’ve seen something big, so it’s even more embarrassing when I encounter it.
While Suhyun hesitated, feeling a delicate dilemma, the conversation continued outside.
“Wow, I’m really excited.”
“I heard the running time is scheduled to be 150 minutes. But I never thought I would go to the same room after practicing…”
“It was a long time, but the seniors were scary. What kind of practice do you do in practice? Is that a method? Get to know your role! “By moving in.”
“Hey, I was just doing a good analysis.”
Su-hyeon, who had completely missed the right time to leave, kept silent.
In a situation like this, it was better to pretend it never happened from beginning to end.
“Kang Soo-hyun, how old was she?”
“twenty three? four? Isn’t that about it? “I heard you also served in the military.”
“You’ve already been to the military? Has he ever rested? Public interest?”
“I thought I heard it because he was on active duty…”
He happened to be in a situation where he was eavesdropping, and he was counting in his head and waiting for the other person to leave.
With the sound of water turning, the topic moved to Suhyeon.
‘This situation seems a bit familiar… Hasn’t this happened before?’
Su-hyeon looked through her past memories in a strange sense of déjà vu.
Even though I was a child actor, it was a time when I was jealous and jealous as it stuck out like an awl in my pocket.
Even back then, I was the subject of gossip like this.
‘I thought it wouldn’t happen when I got older, but it’s not…’
Feeling a little bitter, Suhyeon quietly listened to the conversation between the two.
I was curious to see how they would put him down now that he was a child.
“As I get older, I get used to it. “I should have started acting earlier too.”
“Even if it’s early, it’s a bit too much to rub against him…”
“Well, it’s not just a matter of time. “People who said that when a child actor becomes an adult, their childhood habits will remain and it will be difficult for them to survive, they have completely shut their mouths.”
“You have to let geniuses be geniuses and just watch. Look at me. “How calm are you?”
“It is true that he is an acting genius, but he also puts in a lot of effort. This time, because of my role, I learned the bike separately….”
Contrary to her determination, the voices coming from outside did not belittle or hit Su-hyeon.
Rather, they recognized his skills and considered his effort and talent to be great.
‘what…?’
Su-hyeon, who was listening quietly, blinked at the unexpected situation.
Since I was more familiar with the times around me, I had a bit of trouble getting used to it.
‘Is this an effect of age? Or the military?’
While he was confused, the footsteps of the two people washing their hands slowly walked away.
By the time the crowd was completely gone, Soohyun came out of the bathroom booth.
Should he feel bitter at the reality of being fully recognized only as an adult, or should he be happy at the fact that he has become the object of admiration rather than jealousy?…
Su-hyeon had mixed feelings, but it wasn’t a completely bad thing, so he mechanically washed his hands.
No matter how you feel, practice isn’t over yet.
* * *
“That’s all because the actor’s hard work so far has paid off! Since I debuted at the age of five, it’s been one year and two years… It’s already been 19 years! “I can’t even be jealous when someone has seen me for that long!”
The day after I came back as green onion kimchi from script practice.
Soo-hyeon mentioned to Jeong-won and Soo-yeol what she heard in the bathroom yesterday.
It wasn’t a negative comment, but my intention was to make it known while I remembered it.
Contrary to that intention, Jeong-won became angry and spoke passionately.
“Because the actor is an adult! “It’s not that people’s thoughts changed, but the actor’s actions changed people’s thoughts!”
“That’s it… you know?”
When the unexpected response came back, Suhyeon smiled faintly.
Even in the awkward atmosphere, Jeongwon did not lose his stern expression.
“no! “The actor is feeling bitter because he feels that his age has changed the situation!”
“It’s not something I’ve heard once or twice.”
“Just because you hear it often doesn’t mean it won’t hurt!”
Su-hyeon reflected on her feelings at Jeong-won’s firm attitude.
It is true that I was a little depressed by the change in reactions as I became an adult.
However, he was not the kind of person who lacked self-love to the point of falling into self-deprecation due to something like that.
‘This isn’t really something to be angry about. …Still, it feels good to be angry like this.’
Even though I wasn’t depressed or degraded, there was a part of me that felt strange.
Jeongwon’s words and actions, paying attention to even the smallest crumbs of emotion, tickled Suhyeon’s heart.
“It ended warmly. “I’m happy too.”
“Mr. Soo-yeol….”
“Now that the atmosphere is getting warmer, I would like to tell you some news.”
Soo-yeol, who was holding the steering wheel, expressed his happiness with an expressionless face.
As all eyes focused on him, he paused for a moment before opening his mouth again.
“A sample of Star Life, which will be released on the 15th, has been released.”
