The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 16.1

Yoo Yeon Seo, who just left the action School, felt quite good. ‘Is this what it feels like to be in school?' It was almost the first time he had positively interacted with people.

Kang Jin Hoo had only met so many people when he was planning a strategy before going to the surface for missions, and whilst performing said missions. When his missions were over, he would watch old videos alone in his chicken coop-like house. 

He had never been with that many people because of the strict regulations that forbid anyone from gathering with more than five people even during their free time, in case it sparked a rebellion.

‘Should I visit regularly even after the movie is over…'

In that sense, attending Action School was a pleasure. As Yoo Yeon Seo observed people on the street and lost himself in thought, Lee Tae Gyeom, who was sitting in the driver's seat, spoke up.

"Manager Park told me to keep an eye on you. Please behave yourself and don't cause any trouble."

"Why?"

"You got into a fight at a meeting before, don't you remember?"

This body – this body, how far have you gone? Yeon Seo rubbed his forehead, "Who cares? I won't do it again. It's just that Manager Park doesn't trust me."

"Think about what you've done so far. Well, as long as you don't mess up, there shouldn't be any problem."

‘I still don't know what I've done so far,' Yoo Yeon Seo sighed. Combining the rumours he had heard from CEO Han, Manager Park, and various things on the internet, it was strange that there had been no controversy about his behaviour on set, for being bossy and difficult to work with.

‘If I continue to live like this, my body will be comfortable.'

 Would it be more comfortable for him to act like his old self and rule the set without anyone bothering him? To be honest, it would be. But he didn't want that.

[Acting is not just something an actor does alone. Synergy with other actors is crucial. And a good performance is not just about the individual actor's talent, it takes the joint effort of the writer, director, and every staff member. If Yoo Yeon Seo really wants to pursue this path, please respect everyone involved in the production.] 

As Park Hyun Jeong said, although it might be more comfortable on set to act as he pleased, it would be difficult to achieve good results without the necessary synergy. Yoo Yeon Seo had tasted the joy of being with people, and he wanted to make good friends if possible.

"Thinking back on it now, I was like a fairy. But neither you nor your fans are in your right mind. Do you remember the cake controversy during the final broadcast? I thought we were really going to have a fight."

[TN: 선녀지 translates to ‘like a fairy'. I am not too sure how this fits the conversation. All I was able to gather is that it's ‘a Korean expression that describes a person who looks so beautiful and ethereal that they resemble a fairy from Korean folklore' – again not sure how it fits the convo.]

It was not a relationship where they constantly insulted each other anymore. But even though Lee Tae Gyeom talked like that, he drove well, and Lim Seung Hyun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, didn't say a word.

‘Now, what should I do from now on?' To dispel the industry's infamous reputation, he needed a new strategy. If he changed too much, people would be suspicious…

‘Come to think of it, there were a lot of people who didn't like me at Action School…'

Not everyone had given him friendly looks. Some had scoffed and been jealous of him, suspecting that they were just being used for the young master's hobbies. And Yoo Yeon Seo, who was observant, couldn't help but notice.

‘I've become kind all of a sudden?'

He had a lot of money since he was born, and he had a natural talent for earning this money. So much so that money was overflowing and he began to spend money recklessly, knowing that he couldn't spend it all before he died.

[You don't have to do this much…]

[Director, I want to use it, it's just that it's too shabby.]

At first, he replaced all of the outdated equipment at the Cheonha Action School. During training, he took care of meals and snacks. He even bought sportswear for the trainees who couldn't afford them. He had made up his mind to do this, and as a result, people who had looked down on Yoo Yeon Seo started to take notice of him again.

[His personality is better than I thought. Why does the rumour portray him like that?]

[Maybe someone had a grudge against the young master?]

[How is there someone who buys so much stuff just because they picked it up on the way? Is he a tsundere?]

[TN: tsundere  – someone who might seem cold/harsh at first but is actually just a soft fluffy ball inside.]

[Someone who buys you food is a good person…]

A provocative post:

Get slapped by Yoo Yeon Seo and receive ten million won vs just living your life

└11111 [TN: first to agree]

└Hey, wouldn't it obviously be the first option?

└11 [TN: first to agree]

└I would take a slap on the other cheek for two thousand

   └└222 [TN: second to agree]

This it is.

Park Min Woo, who was cast as the lead in the battleship film ‘Baekho-ham', was a rising actor who gained public attention after appearing in a webtoon-based drama. Despite being a newcomer, he had become popular due to his blockbuster hit works.

"Is he really that like that?"

"Don't talk to him too much. He could blame you for taking away his lead role."

"Why would it be like that? We're going to work together anyway."

Besides, the movie was made possible because of Yoo Yeon Seo. Although it was unclear why the decision was made to pick a supporting role when he could have chosen a lead role, the chances of complaining about not getting the lead role were slim.

‘Surely, the rumours can't all be true? They've probably just been exaggerated as they spread from mouth to mouth.'

Park Min Woo was in a state of excitement over being cast as the lead for the first time.

"Anyway, Yoo Yeon Seo won't come out of his car once the filming is over. Today, I'm just going to quietly listen to the director and the writer."
