The curse uttered by the giant Joseph Felton was not due to the conversation between Kang Woo-jin and director Ahn Ga-bok. It was due to Kang Woo-jin’s acting.
“fuck······”
Joseph repeatedly cursed softly while looking at Woojin in the filming zone. His furrowed brow and wide eyes continued to remain. It was one of his habits. He would immediately swear when he saw something shocking and difficult to understand.
It can be seen as an excited exclamation or exclamation.
If you translate it into Korean, you can roughly judge it as ‘Fuck! It’s coming!’ Joseph Felton’s brain was shaken to that extent. Even though he had already experienced many actors in Hollywood.
‘What did I just see?’
It was quite shocking. What was unfolding before his eyes? Joseph didn’t quite understand, even though he had expected it. No, can something like that be considered ‘acting’?
‘First of all… there is no preparation process.’
It is common for actors to need warm-up to express their deep emotions. However, Kang Woo-jin easily brought out his deep emotions at the same time as the director’s action signals. Not only that, but the time it takes to express his emotions is very short.
‘You can assume it doesn’t exist.’
In addition, Woojin, who got into acting, instantly became a different person. At least that’s how it looked to Joseph. In an instant, Kang Woojin disappeared and a completely different person appeared. The look in his eyes, the smell, his posture, his mannerisms, his diction, his breathing, etc.
Everything was different.
‘It’s almost as if······he has multiple personalities.’
Among the things Joseph judged, the basic qualities of an actor were left out. There was no need to mention them. Perfection was the default. Above that, absurd things were listed absurdly easily.
What’s more creepy than anything else.
‘Ripley Syndrome?’
Joseph, who had not heard the detailed explanation of the scenario, clearly saw what Kang Woo-jin was trying to express through his acting just now. That was the ultimate goal of the actors. To make the viewer feel what they wanted to do.
Easier said than done.
Hollywood and Korea’s big actors are still trying to master this process. They say it’s not enough. However, Kang Woo-jin already had the skill. Coincidence? No. It’s too easy to call it a coincidence.
Joseph was confused.
‘The energy and tension are completely different from when I showed martial arts. I didn’t know that I would be able to show such detailed… mind-blowing acting.’
When I saw Kang Woo-jin’s martial arts in Hollywood, I couldn’t imagine something like that. Joseph covered his mouth with one hand while watching Woo-jin talking to director Ahn Ga-bok. Woo-jin’s abilities that he had figured out were more than one or two. Martial arts, singing, language, etc. But all of those were really secondary?
“······What kind of monster is that?”
It was a monster that broke common sense.
Joseph had already been interested in everything about Kang Woo-jin, from his martial arts to his filmography, but for now, he was just watching, not paying attention. For the time being, he was a creature that was hard to understand. It was a moment when he could truly understand the words of his caddy, Megan Stone.
‘If director Jorge Mendes had seen this non-martial arts performance, he would have begged me to do something with it.’
The question of why Kang Woo-jin is surrounded by only big names was clearly answered. There was no big reason for it. It was just natural.
-Ugh.
Giant Joseph slowly turned his head. He saw the blonde Kara standing on his right. She was frozen without doing anything. Not even a single movement. She just stared at Kang Woojin.
“······”
Are you out of your mind? Joseph looked around at his teammates. They all looked like Kara.
At this point, director Ahn Ga-bok.
“Did you do it moderately?”
I asked Woojin, who was standing in front. Then Woojin Kang, who had a poker face, said.
‘Why? Why? It’s so serious? Did I misspeak? No, but how can it be true?’

He nodded solemnly.
“Yes. Moderately.”
“So, you’re saying that you let your guard down when you’re auditioning with your partner?”
“Isn’t that usually the case during auditions?”
“That’s right. That’s right.”
Director Ahn Ga-bok showed a wrinkled smile. Kang Woo-jin’s words were right. There was no need for the audition partner to do his best. However, Woo-jin’s acting, which had taken away that strength, was also beyond common sense, and Director Ahn Ga-bok was confused.
‘No, everyone in that small theater must have felt the same way.’
At the audition site of Director Ahn Ga-bok, where many great actors and top stars were present, Kang Woo-jin set the standard for his acting for ‘Leech’. This is for an actor who is now in his second year. Anyone would have thought that his acting was the best he had ever shown.
However, it was a miscalculation.
‘Heh heh, this kid’s ‘moderate’ is just too far away for us.’
Nothing more, nothing less. That was all. An actor who is meaningless in judgment, who gives up the process of understanding and starts beating people up. Perhaps the new generation of humans in this world.
Director Ahn Ga-bok, who kept smiling, put his hand on Woo-jin’s shoulder.
“Please go up there, far away. I mean, not just to be impressed by someone like me, but to be impressed by someone greater than me. I think it would be enough for Noh Hu to just watch over that.”
Kang Woo-jin answered quietly but definitely.
“it’s possible.”
A little later.
Director Ahn Ga-bok, who had paused the scene for a moment, sat down again and resumed filming.
“Action.”
The same scene was repeated. However, Kang Woo-jin’s tension did not decrease. Rather, he was more alert and meticulous. The more he repeated, the more powerful his power became. He became more vivid. Kang Woo-jin, who was displayed on the monitor. ‘Park Ha-seong’ was complete, but as the scene repeated, the completeness became meaningless.
“Cut, OK. Let’s go back to Bust instead of following the camera.”
Because Kang Woo-jin presented a new level of perfection in every cut. He develops and demonstrates. The reason Director Ahn Ga-bok used this scene as the starting point for the first filming was simple. To instill the ‘Ripley Syndrome’ itself in other actors.
If you know those emotions and feelings in advance, your later cut acting will be smoother.
Of course, that emotion will come out from the middle of ‘Leech’, but it was a choice that came from the belief that Kang Woo-jin could do it well enough. However, the actors were struck by the extreme more than director Ahn Ga-bok intended.
Many supporting actors, including Shim Ha-n-ho, Oh Hee-ryeong, Jin Jae-jun, and Han So-jin.
“······I, I don’t know how to express that.”
“Is it just me that feels like my audition partner is a bit awkward because of the difference?”
“Ripley Syndrome – I didn’t really get the feel of it when I read the script, but when I saw Woojin’s acting, it really hit home.”
“Aww, what are the hurdles from the start······”
It goes beyond caution and instills a sense of alertness. ‘This is what you have to experience, this is what you have to endure.’ It feels like he is intuitively feeling these words through his acting.
Miley Cara these days.
‘Oh my gosh.’
I was staring at actor Kang Woo-jin, who is not a vocalist, martial artist, or piano player, without a single second of hesitation. It couldn’t be helped. His stage presence was so great. It was truly worthy of being called his main occupation.
At the same time, Kara imagined something without realizing it.
‘What if that actor······appears in Hollywood?’
The chaos that would unfold when the territory of the monster that had been hiding in Korea spread to the world.

About 2 hours later.
A short break was given to the ‘Leech’ set, where filming was in full swing. However, the 100 or so staff members did not seem to have any intention of taking a break. Everyone was busy organizing props and setting up equipment for the next scene.
Not only them, but also the director and actors were the same.
Director Ahn Ga-bok was busy checking the route with the staff while holding the storyboard, and the actors including Shim Ha-na and Oh Hee-ryeong were acting like the monster they had just seen.
“······”
“······”
In the tent, he was lost in his own acting and character reminders. But for some reason, the cynical Kang Woo-jin was nowhere to be seen.
Where is he?
Kang Woo-jin, who had disappeared from the scene, was in a van in the outdoor parking lot. In front of him was…
“Are you surprised that I came all of a sudden?”
Miley Kara was sitting, taking off her hat and mask that had been wrapped tightly. There was only Woojin and the global superstar Kara in the van, and they were speaking English. Kara, who had taken off her hat, brushed back her long blonde hair. Woojin had a fragrant scent in his nose.
‘Aww- man, it feels so real having Kara sitting right in front of me. It’s like a dream. It feels different from the previous YouTube filming. Is this right?? This is so freaking hilarious- no! Kang Woojin, don’t lose your cool!’
I try to ignore it. The concept is solid.
“No, it’s okay.”
“I saw your acting better than that.”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
Kara, who was looking at Woojin with blue eyes, let out a small breath.
“It was a good decision to come. I would have regretted not seeing it. I understand why Woojin-ssi calls his skills like vocals and cooking a hobby. His acting… I don’t know, I think I’m a pretty good actor, but I can’t think of a way to express it.”
“You may skip over it.”
Miley Cara pouts slightly. Then she flashes a barely visible smile.
“Actually, there were other reasons why I came to Korea this time, but the biggest reason was because I wanted to meet Woojin.”
“Yes, I am listening.”
“I’m currently preparing a new album. And I want to make a proposal to Kang Woo-jin. I want to work with him on a song in my album and appear in a music video.”
“······”
As Kang Woojin closed his mouth heavily, Kara pressed her face a little closer to Woojin.
“Of course I’m thinking of a title song. To be honest, this is my first time doing something like this. What do you think?”
How? What are you thinking? I can’t think of anything?? I’m trying to keep my indifference.
“···I guess I should talk to the company first.”
Almond Kang Woojin was in a state of extreme bewilderment.
‘Crazy?! What the heck is this??’
After that.
After finishing his conversation with Kara, Kang Woo-jin returned to filming for ‘Leech’. On the other hand, Kara and Joseph did not return to the set. They had already enjoyed Kang Woo-jin’s acting beyond their satisfaction, and both had achieved their goals. Furthermore, the staff’s gaze, which was becoming more intense, was also a problem.
“Kara, have you seen everything there is to see?”
“Yes. What about you, Joseph? You haven’t even seen Woojin.”

“I said hello to you with my eyes, so there’s no need to have a conversation. I came to make sure.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course. So much so that we have to completely revise all our plans. Kara, you?”
“Well, now all I can do is wait for the answer.”
At the same time, the internet was talking about ‘Our Table’, which aired yesterday on the 7th. There was also the issue of the second filming recently, and since it maintained a 20% viewership rating this time, there were quite a few articles.
But this episode of ‘Our Table’ also featured an unusual advertisement.
『Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Kim Ja-ban Makguksu’ introduced at the end of ‘Our Table’, viewers’ anticipation increases with the comment that it will soon be available in the market』
『PPL before it’s even on the market? The best menu of ‘Our Table’, Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Kim Ja-ban Makguksu’ commercialized… Are the public pre-ordering the open run?』
This was because the commercialization of Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Kim Ja-ban Makguksu’ planned by ‘Nongsin’ was imminent. Kang Woo-jin had no time to worry about it, whether it was true or not. Along with filming ‘Leech’.
『Amazing Influence, Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Kang Woo-jin Sub-character’ Trailer Uploaded on Channel···Next Guest is Ryu Jeong-min』
Because every day was filled with YouTube channels and advertisements, it wasn’t even a big deal for two days to pass.
『[Movie IS] ‘Leech’ filming begins in earnest, Jeonju area confirmed as set is crowded with reporters』
Around here.
『Baeksang Arts Awards Ceremony confirmed for Thursday, March 18th』
The promotion of the ‘Baeksang Arts Awards’, which is called the final beauty of film festivals and award ceremonies, has begun in earnest. The time, place, invited actors and works. There were many articles derived from the bait, but the one that garnered the most clicks was Kang Woo-jin.
『Kang Woo-jin, who was also invited to this year’s ‘Baeksang Arts Awards’, how many more awards will he win after winning 8 awards last year?』
『Kang Woo-jin’s possibilities have expanded to include broadcasting and movies… What kind of bombshell announcement will he make this time? Netizens are paying attention.』
For the first time in a while, various media outlets were filled with issues related to the awards ceremony.
Rolling around like crazy everywhere.
Whether it’s the ‘Baeksang Arts Awards’ preparing for a live broadcast or the ‘Leech’ team filming while splitting their sleep, Kang Woo-jin’s number of times he goes in and out of the subspace has skyrocketed.
A week melted away without me even knowing what I did.
The second week of August has ended and the third week has arrived. The date is the morning of August 17th, the day before the Baeksang Arts Awards. Kang Woo-jin was moving to Jeonju without fail. He usually stays in a dormitory, but since he had an additional schedule in Seoul yesterday, he slept in an officetel.
“······”
He was looking out the window with his hat pulled down low. Then, out of the blue,
-Ugh.
I turned my gaze to check the pile of things right next to me. There were about three cup ramen cups stacked up. It was an unfamiliar cup ramen that I had never seen before. The lid of the cup ramen cup had this title written on it.
-‘Kim Ja-ban Makguksu’ cup ramen
At this time, Choi Seong-geon, the man in the passenger seat with the long hair, asked Jang Su-hwan, who was driving.
“Su-hwan, did you load all those cup ramen?”
“Yep! I loaded all 30!”
“Uh, uh. I can’t send everyone to the scene, but I have to let them taste it.”
He nodded and turned around to ask Han Ye-jeong, who was looking at her phone. No, to be exact, it was like asking all the stylists. They were all looking at their phones.
“How is the media’s reaction on the scene? Is it popular?”
Han Ye-jeong, whose gaze was still on her cell phone, answered coldly.
“The article hasn’t been published yet, but if you look through the community, you’ll find quite a few.”

She turned her phone around and showed it to Choi Sung-geon. She was seeing posts from a certain community.
-Oh my goshㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Kang Woojin came to the convenience store in front of his house on the opening day to buy cup ramenㅋㅋㅋIs it true that there were people lining up????!!!

At this time, Kang Woo-jin wasn’t paying attention to that. He was just staring at his own image on the cup ramen lid.
It was obvious. It was stuck on the lid.
‘Ha······This is so annoying.’
Because Kang Woo-jin, with an indifferent expression, was raising his thumbs up.
Meanwhile, a scoop just broke.
『Superstar Miley Kara, who is preparing a new album, will work with a Korean actor for this album』
It was foreign news, not from Korea.
