Asami Saya quickly changed her words. In fact, she felt a little possessed. She didn’t know that ‘A10 Studio’ would suddenly spit out Kang Woojin’s name.
No, why is Kang Woo-jin an animation voice actor?
After answering, Saya tilted her head, realizing that something was strange. Then she asked the female team leader of ‘A10 Studio’ standing in front of her.
“But is it certain that Kang Woo-jin will be the voice actor for the male lead?”
The female head of the production department smiled.
“Yes, that’s right, Sayanaim. Thankfully, Kang Woojin has agreed to be my voice actor.”
“Why······he’s an animation voice actor.”
“Saya-nim. First of all, are you sure you want to join our team? I can only explain things to you if I get a definite answer.”
Saya nodded firmly.
“Of course, if it’s a project that Kang Woo-jin is in charge of, I will take off my shoes and help him. I will accept any role.”
The female team leader was a little surprised by her intense reaction. Even among all Japanese voice actors, she was a top-tier actress, so she responded very passionately.
‘Well, it’s only natural since I shared such a dramatic story with Kang Woo-jin.’
Then the female team leader put on a sales smile.
“Thank you, Sayanaim. It’s an honor. Um- First of all, the work I’m preparing this time already has an original work. It’s an adaptation of Netflix’s ‘Namsachin’, and the title will be ‘Namsachin: Remake’.”
“······ah.”
It was only then that Saya understood why Kang Woo-jin was chosen as the male lead voice actor.
“If it’s Netflix’s ‘Nam Sa Chin’-”
“Yes. The original work also starred Kang Woo-jin as the male lead, and it was a hit throughout Japan.”
“Of course I know. My daughter is also a huge fan of Kang Woo-jin, and she also likes ‘Nam Sa-chin’.”
“We are aware of your story, Sayanaim. As a fan, I am touched. It’s not easy for something like that to happen in real life.”
The female team leader, who had been mumbling, changed the subject.
“To be honest, Sayana was already on our voice actor casting list. However, after checking the schedule, I felt like it was unlikely.”
“······”
“At that time, the dramatic story of Kang Woo-jin and Sayanim was revealed. Thanks to that, I was able to ask Sayanim, even though it was difficult. Sayanim’s skills are great, but the story of the two moved the whole of Japan. I thought that if the public found out that they met in one work, there would be a significant synergy explosion.”
Sayado was a veteran in the voice acting world. Even after hearing a rough explanation, she could immediately imagine it. It wasn’t an event that occurred after calculation. It was purely a coincidence. However, this coincidence would probably excite the entire Japanese public.
Plus.
‘This is a chance to repay Kang Woo-jin’s gratitude, and this project will be a great gift to Yusuko as a mother. I don’t know about Woo-jin’s casting process, but this kind of thing will never happen again.’
Any work that is produced will remain for a lifetime. Yusakō, Saya’s daughter, also dreams of becoming a voice actor, and this was a performance to support that dream. It’s a work where Kang Woojin and his mother’s voices appear together.
For Yusuko Asami, it is worth keeping for a lifetime.
Of course, you should buy it.
‘You have to be more passionate about it than any other work.’
I was in the process of vowing to put my voice acting career on the line for ‘Namsachin: Remake’.
“Excuse me, can I get the script today?”
For my daughter, for Kang Woo-jin.
Soon, the female team leader smiled and nodded.

“Of course, Sayana.”
After talking to Saya for a few more minutes, the female team leader left the recording booth and gave instructions to the production staff following her.
“Let’s proceed with the contract with Sayanim as soon as possible. And then I’ll tell the marketing team to announce ‘Nam Sachin: Remake’ within this week. The content must include Kang Woojin’s casting, his OST, and his direct participation in playing the piano.”
Even the animation adaptation of ‘Nam Sa Chin’ would be a hot topic, but if you combined the keywords she just recited, it was obvious that a nuclear bomb several times more powerful would be dropped.
“More than anything, you can’t forget the relationship between Sayanam and Woojin, and Sayanam joining.”
Meanwhile, in Korea.
Amidst the many teasers of ‘Leech’, ‘Our Table’, and ‘Beneficial Evil’, the first video of ‘Island of the Missing’ has been uploaded to the official YouTube channel and other video platforms.
-! Urgent! Special Character Introduction Video!! (+ Actor Interview, Making)｜The Missing Island
In some ways, it was like the first teaser video for ‘The Missing Island’ that had already begun editing. It was a video introducing the characters that appear in ‘The Missing Island’. The content included simple still cuts and brief appearances of each character, as well as interviews with the actors who played those characters.
“Hello, I am Ryu Jung-min, who plays the role of Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae in ‘The Missing Island.’”
While the actors’ interviews were being aired, the actual making of ‘The Island of the Lost’ was shown. That is, various videos that brought to life the realism of the filming set were shown. The actors’ filming, simple jokes, the actors’ chemistry, etc.
“I am Kang Woo-jin, who plays Private Jin Seon-cheol.”
The background was a huge set and everyone was wearing military uniforms and holding guns, so even though it was a making-of video with a running time of about 10 minutes, it was still very eye-catching.
Anyway, this video was released just 2 hours ago.
-Views 508,332
It easily surpassed 500,000 views. It was a natural phenomenon. It was due to the power of ‘The Missing Island’ itself, which included director Kwon Ki-taek and various top actors, as well as the search volume for Kang Woo-jin, who recently raised the momentum of the issue bomb.
-Nooooooooooo Kang Woo Jin’s character is so amazing? Is he a psycho? A split personality?
– Did anyone see the monster appearing in the middle of the video?? I’m really curious about what this movie is about.
-Ryu Jeong-min is so cool
-I’m seriously going to see it as soon as it opens… So, please hurry up and release it.
-Ha Yu-ra hasn’t been back in a while, but she’s still beautifulㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋShe seems to have done a good job with her comeback
-Since it is directed by Kwon Ki-taek, a top-tier master, the quality will be fine… And judging by the filming size, it definitely looks like this will be the most anticipated film of the year.
-Kang Woojin’s military uniform fits crazy!!!
-No, so when is it going to be released?
-If this movie really fails, a lot of people will get hurtㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow… Kang Woo-jin really has a completely different feel for each role he takes on…? His acting spectrum is amazing.

While the anticipation for ‘The Missing Island’ was boiling over, Choi Sung-geon with a ponytail was seen in the officetel and office of ‘Our Table’ which was not much different from the entertainment department. However, he was alone without Kang Woo-jin. Kang Woo-jin was currently busy with his schedule. In any case, Choi Sung-geon was having a very important meeting with the writers including PD Yoon Byung-sun.
Of course, before starting the main topic, PD Yoon Byung-sun asked a few things he was curious about.
“Mr. Choi, what happened to that ‘Kim Ja-ban Makguksu’? Did you talk to the Nongshin side?”
Choi Sung-geon, wearing a black shirt and gray knit, showed a businesslike smile.
“Yes, I did. The atmosphere is good.”
“Oh, really? Then can we really expect the ‘Kim Ja-ban Makguksu’ to be commercialized?”

“It is highly probable.”
In fact, the plan to promote with Nongshin was still confidential. Because the final contract coordination was left. But anyway, it was a matter of time. It was almost certain, and since Kim Ja-ban Makguksu started with ‘Our Table’, Choi Sung-geon let it slip to PD Yoon Byung-sun.
“You may be able to see it in large marts or convenience stores soon. As you know, it’s a secret for now.”
“Of course! Well, that’s fortunate. It’s kind of- strange. It’s really hard to predict what Woojin will do even an inch ahead.”
“I don’t know even though I’m right next to you the whole time, haha.”
“Once the official announcement is made, we’ll have to do a good job promoting the Kimchi-ban Makguksu on ‘Our Table’.”
“Oh my- are you going to do that?”
“Of course I should. I’ll try to squeeze it in between the original broadcast of ‘Our Table’ either before or after the product comes out.”
While the two were talking about commercializing ‘Kim Ja-ban Makguksu’ for a while, PD Yoon Byeong-seon, who had received a tablet from the writer, suddenly changed the subject.
“I need to start making plans for the second filming of ‘Our Table’ soon-”
PD Yoon Byeong-seon then adds an explanation.
To summarize, this second filming was shorter, lasting 4~5 days, than the first one, which was about a week long. It was a decision made due to the difficulty in aligning the schedules of the cast, including Kang Woo-jin, and the local situation in LA. There were many other reasons as well.
In such cases, the number of episodes would usually be reduced, but ‘Our Table’ has already surpassed 20% in viewership ratings.
Therefore, PD Yoon Byung-sun said that he would film the last episode in Korea and somehow create the picture.
“Woojin, is March 1st okay for you too?”
“Yes. Even if it’s difficult, I think we should try to fit it in for about 4 days.”
“Thank you, then I guess we can confirm it for one day. What do you think would happen if we save a week for a special episode of ‘Our Table’ next week?”
In this way, Kang Woo-jin’s first schedule in March was confirmed to be the second filming of ‘Our Table’.
At this moment, Kang Woo-jin.
“Senior, you recently finished filming ‘The Island of the Lost.’ How are you doing?”
“I’m taking a little break. Watching Woojin’s rise to fame.”
I was filming with Ryu Jung-min in a kitchen-like studio where cooking is possible. Of course, cooking content for the YouTube channel ‘Kang Woo-jin’s side character’. Currently, I’m filming the ‘What do you want to eat?’ content, and once this filming is finished, I’m planning to move on to the ‘Avatar Cooking’ content.
Kang Woo-jin in a boxy knit, and Ryu Jeong-min in a simple hoodie.
“Did you have any difficulties while filming ‘The Island of the Lost’?”
“Yes. The overseas filming in Da Nang, Vietnam was truly hell. Woojin was fine though.”
“No, I had a hard time too.”
“It wasn’t hell, just difficult. Your face isn’t much different from yours now, is it?”
Why is this handsome guy acting like this? Since the two were already quite close, the filming itself went smoothly, and Kang Woo-jin also had experience filming with global superstar Kara after Hwa-rin, so he wasn’t nervous.
Thanks to that.
“That’s it! I think it was chosen well! Good job, both of you!!”
The filming ended in the late afternoon. It was a few hours earlier than scheduled. So the entire staff, including Woojin and Ryu Jungmin, went to dinner. A beef restaurant near the studio. Ryu Jungmin, sitting across from Woojin, suddenly muttered quietly while holding a glass of water.
“bw enter, it’s been a bit crazy these days.”
“I think so.”
“······Could you please give a quick message to CEO Choi? I couldn’t find his number when I looked for it.”
“What kind?”
Advertisements
“I would like to meet you regarding transfer.”
Woojin looked calm on the outside, but he was shocked on the inside. Suddenly? However, after listening to Ryu Jung-min’s story, I could understand it. Ryu Jung-min’s contract period was coming to an end, and his agency was currently in a situation where it was going to be split in half or something.
Well, Kang Woo-jin answered quietly, ignoring the troublesome conflict of interest.
“Okay, I’ll tell the CEO tomorrow.”
Then, early the next morning.
When Choi Sung-geon heard the news about Ryu Jeong-min from Kang Woo-jin, his eyes widened and he quickly moved.
“Okay, I’ll contact Ryu Jeong-min right away.”
It’s not just anyone else, but an actor of Ryu Jung-min’s caliber is set to enter the free-agent market, and Ryu Jung-min is interested in BW Entertainment. There was no reason for Choi Sung-geon to delay.
Anyway, Choi Sung-geon quickly took out his cell phone and told Woo-jin some new news.
“Oh, and. I got a call from ‘A10 Studio.’ You know the voice actress for ‘Namsachin: Remake,’ Asami Saya? They said she’s joining.”
Oh? Really?
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. But even if I were the production company, I would somehow recruit that person. Japan is in chaos because of you and I. Probably. No, 100% when ‘Nam Sa-chin: Remake’ first opens and promotes, I’ll use the story of you and that person.”
Choi Sung-geon spouts out words as if he were predicting the future.
“Honestly, ‘Namsachin: Remake’ is so successful in Japan that the original ‘Namsachin’ did incredibly well. You alone are enough to make it a bomb, but if you add Asami Saya’s story to it at this time and make the first announcement······You know how it feels? Japanese people are going to search for ‘Namsachin: Remake’ like crazy.”
Choi Sung-geon, who had been mumbling with his phone pressed to his ear, turned his gaze from Woo-jin to see if the other person had answered the phone.
“Ah- Mr. Ryu Jeong-min?”
12th, near Shinjuku Station, Japan.
The time was around lunchtime. The place was Kabukicho, where every building had a dazzling sign. It was quiet during the day, but at night, this place was famous for being a lively and lively entertainment district. There were restaurants, clubs, karaoke, host bars, arcades, and so on. It was a place where countless stores were gathered together.
Of course, it is crowded with people.
However, during the day it was less than at night. However, now, there were at least 200 people gathered in one alley in Kabukicho. It was a back alley of a karaoke bar that looked a little shabby. Various cameras, lights, reflectors, audio equipment, boom microphones, monitors, etc. were also visible.
There was a crowd of about 70 people surrounding the devices.
There were about a hundred onlookers surrounding the 70 people. There were guards who controlled the onlookers somehow. After all, the filming of ‘The Stranger’ had just begun in Kabukicho. Therefore, the hundred or so onlookers were busy taking pictures of the actors in the filming area.
“This is the ‘strange one’! Hey! Over there! Mana Kosaku!”
“Isn’t that Mifuyu next to Kosaku? She’s really pretty!!”
“I was lucky! I never thought I’d see the filming of ‘Stranger Things’!!”
“Wow- this is my first time seeing someone being filmed.”
“But if he’s a ‘stranger’, what about Kang Woo-jin? Where is Kang Woo-jin??”
The hundreds of onlookers began to search for the Korean actor who is currently shaking up Japan. The buzz quickly spread.
“Is Kang Woojin not here? Ah- I don’t want to! If I wait, will he come??”
It was just then.
-Ugh.
The closed karaoke door opened and director Kyotaro and several staff members came out. Then the last one.
“Oh no!! It’s Kang Woojin!! Kang Woojin!”
Kang Woo-jin appeared with messy hair and a shabby outfit. As soon as he appeared, the hundred or so onlookers began to swarm violently. It was enough to cause trouble for the large guards.

“Joe, please calm down!!”
“Don’t push!!”
Whether or not, the onlookers’ cheers pierced the heavens.
“@*&(*@&%(*%&(*(%@!!!”
“$*@($*@Kang Woojin!!@U$@$”
“**%(#%)(#*%)(#%!!”
It was difficult to understand what was being said due to the shouts of over a hundred people. Director Kyotaro, who had short hair full of gray hair, scratched his chin and spoke to Woojin.
“Hmm- I guess I’ll have to go to the karaoke scene first until things calm down.”
Kang Woo-jin apologized quietly.
“sorry.”
“No, it’s not something that Woojin needs to apologize for. Right now, Japan is overheated because of Woojin. Isn’t that a good thing?”
At this time.
“Mr. Woojin!”
Suddenly, an actress approached. No, it was Uramatsu Mifuyu with plump lips who was attached to Woojin. She was wearing a T-shirt that showed her navel inside, and a coat that covered her outfit on the outside.
She looked down at her cell phone and asked Kang Woo-jin in Japanese.
“Woojin, are you an animation voice actor??”
Mihuyu shows her phone screen with a question. An SNS account was displayed on her phone screen. It was the official Instagram account among the three SNS accounts owned by ‘A10 Studio’, and it was uploaded as a post with the official announcement of ‘A10 Studio’.
‘Nam Sa-chin: Remake’ was mixed in during the content.
