When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar

Hero (2)

“Heroes… … . Those heroes… … .”

Taehyung Park said, stuttering. Kim Won was already in a state of chaos, walking around the waiting room and hitting his knees. He was slapping his forehead like a child actor from a sitcom that gained national popularity twenty years ago.

Of course, instead of ‘Oh my God,’ Kim Won shouted, it was in English.

“Oh my gosh! That’s… … “So so amazing!”

Kim Won grabbed Do-wook’s shoulders with both hands and shook them.

Dowook was almost dizzy because of Kim Won, but it was difficult to tell whether he was dizzy because Kim Won shook his shoulder or because he heard such tremendous news.

When I said I was cast in ‘Heroes’, I meant casting for the movie ‘Heroes’. The original work was a comic of the same name published by General Comics.

As the title suggests, numerous modern-day heroes appeared in the cartoon ‘Heroes’.

The movies made by General Comics based on the stories of such heroes one by one, including ‘Billion Man’, ‘Hercules’, ‘Speed Spider’, ‘Soldier America’, and ‘Shark’.

As the movies became successful one after another, General Comics became a brand called ‘General’.

Meanwhile, the movie ‘Heroes’ brought together all the heroes from the cartoon ‘Heroes’ and made them appear.

The success of the movie ‘Heroes’ was truly enormous.

There have been many hero movies throughout history, but ‘Heroes’ was on a different scale in everything from the cast to the production cost. The term ‘the ultimate king’ of American movies was appropriate.

Since fans of each character were already gathered together, the synergy effect was perhaps natural.

The popularity of ‘Heroes’ was not just limited to the United States. It was global.

In Korea, more than 7 million viewers watched ‘Heroes’.

Box office profits reached a whopping $1.5 billion. It was an enormous number, exceeding 1 trillion in Hanwha.

Not only did it go without saying that it was a leading role playing a hero in Heroes, but casting roles were also a stepping stone to becoming global stars. No, just by appearing in ‘Heroes’, he had already become a global star.

It was the ‘Heroes’.

The atmosphere in the waiting room was very tense.

“What is your role in Heroes?”

Hyungseo Ahn asked with shining eyes.

“What is the importance of Ma’s role? “Even if he only appears on Heroes for 10 seconds, he’s a huge success.”

“brother! Heroes is great, but Dowook is also KK.”

Jeong Yoon-gi thought that Do-wook’s role may not be that big, so he quickly blocked Ahn Hyeong-seo’s question, and Ahn Hyeong-seo’s position was that the movie ‘Heroes’ was great, but Do-wook was also great.

Both of them had attitudes that could be considered as members of the same group and Do-wook’s ‘fans’ at the same time.

Dowook was already dizzy with the casting itself, but the role was actually very important.

As K-POP became popular and Korean actors emerged, Hollywood sometimes cast Korean actors targeting the Asian market.

However, the roles of Asian actors in Hollywood were very limited. The same was true for Korean actors.

There were many roles that did not have proper scenes and had to be villains or relatively weak roles. As a Korean, inspired by the Japanese style of samurai, there were times when I had to make difficult choices.

‘If it’s that way, it’s better not to do it… … . No matter how many heroes… … .’

Dowook was still humble, but that did not mean he was unaware of his position.

KK and Dowook were one of the pride of the Korean people.

When Koreans talk about Korea to foreigners, they tend to ask something representative of Korea, such as ‘Do you know kimchi?’

There were many people saying that it was tacky to ask foreigners such things and jokingly saying that it was the ‘Doyuno Club’, but in any case, it was clear what it was that represented Korea.

‘Do you know’ was followed by not only kimchi but also Korea’s representative foods and culture, such as bulgogi, Dokdo, Park Jin-seong, and Kim A-young, as well as famous sports players. KK had now proudly joined the ranks.

Recently, there have been various stories spread on the Internet that foreigners often ask Koreans if they know ‘KK’ when they first meet them.

If KK’s Do-wook appeared in an absurd role in ‘Heroes’ just for the sake of fame, the pride of the people and fans could be hurt.

Dowook didn’t want to do that either. Even now, he was doing his best in his current position.

Manager Oh Baek-ho nodded as if he knew what Do-wook and the other members were thinking.

“uh… … . What is Do-wook’s role in Heroes? … .”

Manager Oh Baek-ho said.

“I heard you’re one of the heroes… … .”

Dowook swallowed his saliva once.

‘Hero of Heroes!’

It was completely the lead role. It was a scale that was difficult to imagine.

“shaman… … Something like Shark… … ?”

In fact, Taehyung Park was one of the ‘Heroes’ enthusiasts in Korea. In particular, he was a big fan of Shark, who was normally a shy and ordinary person, but suddenly changed and ripped off everything.

“hmm… … . Actually, I don’t know much about Heroes. Team leader Lee Dae-hyung also said he didn’t know the character. I don’t think there was a separate Asian hero character in General Comics… … .”

“that’s right… … .”

Taehyung Park nodded his head slowly.

Taehyung Park had already completely read the original ‘Heroes’ comic. In the original work, there were no Asian characters at all, and since it was a comic that was decades old, the heroes were all American or from outer space.

That was the reason why ‘Heroes’ was criticized as American-style heroism.

“He said he would find out if we went and talked to him. He’s one of the heroes, but I don’t know what kind of character he is… … . So I set up a meeting right away. Whether it’s a group or not, a decision needs to be made quickly to make an activity plan and set a schedule… … .”

From the company’s perspective, it was natural that they were anxious.

“yes.”

Dowook tried to control his excitement. Even if he was a ‘hero’, there was no information to know what kind of hero he would be.

“Anyway, I’m sure it’s huge. A casting offer for Heroes… … .”

When Seok Ji-hoon spoke, all the members who had calmed down for a moment started shaking their shoulders again with excitement.

“Okay, even if I don’t appear on this, I think I can go on a real talk show and brew it a hundred times?!”

Do-wook also relaxed a little and laughed at Ahn Hyeong-seo’s words.

The waiting room was being cleaned up and the members, led by Manager Oh Baek-ho, were coming out of the waiting room one by one.

Girls who had removed all their makeup and changed from stage costumes to civilian clothes were passing through the waiting room hallway.

“oh!”

Kim Won, who likes female idol groups and knows all the names of female idols, was the first to react when he saw the girls.

Of course, unlike other idols, the girls were a little more special to Kim Won because they were the group that Dowook invested in.

“hello!”

“Hello, senior!”

The girls who discovered KK bowed and greeted her.

Since most of the people who appeared on music broadcasts were senior singers, the girls would greet them dozens of times a day when they came to the broadcasting station. Therefore, the reaction speed of greeting KK as soon as he found her was almost at the machine level.

KK smiled awkwardly as she looked at the girls lined up to greet her.

‘I heard that Dowook debuted thanks to you… … !’

‘Our Do-wook invested and created… … !’

The members seemed excited, but their mouths twitched because they wanted to say such things. In fact, Do-wook greeted him calmly, as if he were dealing with other junior singers.

Dowook fixed his gaze on the girl on the far left who was looking at him with sparkling eyes.

He was a member who bowed his head half a beat late even when saying hello.

She, whose pronunciation of greetings was unclear, was a Japanese member of the girls.

He was a member that CEO Jang Hye-seong accepted Do-wook’s advice and recruited with difficulty.

It’s hard to tell just by looking at them, but there are subtle differences in face shape and eyebrow shape.

The name of the shy Japanese girl with pink cheeks is Miru Hashimoto.

Although he looked shy, he was more passionate than anyone else on stage. Of course, due to the relatively short training period and language limitations, his skills were lower than those of other members, but he had clear attractive points.

Thanks to this, she was the second most popular in Korea after the youngest Dahye and leader Yunji.

‘also… … CEO Jang Hye-seong clearly also has an eye for vision.’

Do-wook thought while looking at Miru.

The girls were currently the hottest female idols in Korea. Although the fandom was not the largest, it was expanding its power the fastest.

Even though they are newcomers, the girls’ fans have developed among Japanese K-POP fans.

Although the girls’ music resonated well with Japan, it was clear that having members from their own country had a positive influence.

The proof was that Miru was the most popular in Japan.

The Japanese market’s ability to mobilize funds was enormous, so it was a great opportunity for Comet Planning, which did not have much capital.

Do-wook’s insight was a great help to Hyesung Planning and the girls in many ways.

“then… … .”

The leader, Yunji, brushed back her long hair, bowed politely, and walked by.

A line of girls followed Yunji behind. There was no unnecessary attention given to the KK members or Dowook.

In fact, he must have been curious about the fact that Do-wook and Seok Ji-hoon were Bunker21, and he probably wanted to say hello to Do-wook after seeing him for the first time in a long time, but he didn’t show it at all.

Only the youngest, Da-hye, looked back once more with regret.

Rather, it was the KK members who were confused.

“uh… … “You know each other right?”

“Ma Dowook lied to us.”

Ahn Hyeong-seo and Jeong Yoon-gi, who wanted to show off Do-wook’s abilities, asked.

“haha.”

Dowook laughed awkwardly.

I even found it cute that the girls listened so well to their instructions.

Dowook turned around with a happy smile. Manager Oh Baek-ho urged the members.

***

A mansion in California, USA.

It was truly a mansion of enormous size. It only took a few minutes by car to get from the first door to the living room of the mansion.

As soon as I entered the reception room, employees bustled around to greet Do-wook and team leader Dae-hyung Lee.

‘This place…’ … .’

Dowook was impressed as he looked around the house. Pictures and photos of Heroes’ heroes were making their presence felt on every wall.

This California mansion was the mansion of Martin, who created ‘Heroes.’
