- Has anyone been to the NewLike Department Store in Yeouido? Is that really Joo Seo-yeon in the Viol ad?
The evening the Viol pop-up opened.
Such a post went up on an internet community.
Since it was a community that generally dealt with entertainment industry gossip, comments quickly followed.
- It's Joo Seo-yeon Yepㅇㅇ How many actresses have that kind of looks?
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋ But seriously, I also wondered who it was for a moment, her image is completely different??
- FR ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
If one were to mention Joo Seo-yeon's usual image, there are largely two types.
A bubbly, 4D retriever-like girl.
The other is a strong and invincible high school girl, commonly consumed as a gorilla meme.
However, Seo-yeon's appearance hanging on the Viol pop-up ad today didn't match any of her usual images no matter how one looked at it.
- Anyone remember when Joo Seo-yeon first appeared on variety shows? Her image back then was exactly like that.
- Was it 'Looking at Past Memories'? Come to think of it, it does feel like it?
- Princess Yeonhwa ㅇㅇ That's why a lot of people were worried if she could pull off the villain role when acting as Cha Seo-ah.
- She showed a bit of that in the play too...
- Theater and movies are different ㅇㅇ
It was something that happened early this year, but it felt like a very long time ago.
It meant that the image of Seo-yeon consumed this past year was intense.
There were many who thought of Princess Yeonhwa when it came to Joo Seo-yeon, but now most base it on Cha Seo-ah.
- Did they sharpen the knife for this Viol pop-up? They said they're uploading a making film too?
- Looks like they're promoting this pop-up really properly?
- But even I would probably try if I came out with Park Jung-woo and Joo Seo-yeon ㅋㅋ
- With a concept like that, it totally looks like Seo-il and Princess Yeonhwa meeting in modern times.
- Who's Seo-il again?
└ Male lead of Taesumdal
Furthermore, Viol didn't just stop at pasting the ad on the department store wall, but announced they would upload a making film on their official website and YouTube.
Then, immediate reactions began to rise from various media outlets.
Prepared articles.
And the YouTubers who started moving quickly.
"Instead of the movie review I was planning to do this time, I'm going to do a review of a different drama."
In particular, the YouTuber Han Bong-sik, who rode the Joo Seo-yeon coin and skyrocketed to 1.4 million subscribers, was one of the YouTubers who moved the fastest in this situation.
"You know Taesumdal, right? The drama that aired 10 years ago. I'm planning to center my reviews around that drama for a while..."
- Bong-sik... are you trying to ride the Joo Seo-yeon coin again..
- It's true he hasn't done Joo Seo-yeon drama or movie reviews for a while ㅇㅇ
- That's because he reviewed everything there was ㅋㅋㅋ
- And he already did a Taesumdal review before.
"Ahem! That is not the case! How dare you misinterpret my pure intentions."
Bong-sik shouted with a feigned stern voice, then gave a small cough.
"As I mentioned when the stream started earlier, I went to the NewLike Department Store today. To buy some clothes for my mother."
- Filial son Han Bong-sik Whoaㄷㄷ
- I want to buy clothes for my parents at a department store too ㅜㅜ
"Ah, anyway, when I went there, the Viol ad was hanging right there, and actress Joo Seo-yeon was there with actor Park Jung-woo."
Han Bong-sik saw that photo and thought.
This is it!
Above all, didn't they say the making film for the Viol ad would be uploaded today?
"Probably not many of you here have seen Taesumdal directly. Since it's a drama from 10 years ago."
- No, I told you you already did a Taesumdal review before?
"Back then, I just did it briefly. Besides, I didn't focus that much on reviewing her childhood acting days."
It was true that Han Bong-sik had covered Taesumdal in a classic drama review before.
However, that was just briefly passing over the content up to episode 3, and focusing on episode 4 onwards.
In other words, it mainly dealt with the grown-up Princess Yeonhwa.
Naturally.
Because Taesumdal truly began its story from episode 4 onwards.
But this time was different.
Episode 1 to 3.
A review focusing solely on that.
"Until the actress Joo Seo-yeon revealed herself to the public as Cha Seo-ah in
10 years.
It was a child role so intense that it was remembered for such a long time.
"So when I saw the Viol ad, the memories of that time naturally came to mind."
The acting of the child actress who had really chattered away, spitting as she talked back then.
After seeing that, Bong-sik decided he had to redo the
"The grown-up Princess Yeonhwa was hanging right there on the billboard as she was."
- Is it to that extent? Honestly, I can't imagine Joo Seo-yeon having that kind of image.
- I went and saw it too, and honestly I thought it was a different person ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- She has a somewhat cynical image, but the Joo Seo-yeon in the Viol ad is definitely a bit different.
"Right? That's exactly how I felt."
After saying that much, Bong-sik checked the clock for a moment.
The time was 11:55 PM.
Thanks to intentionally delaying the stream time today, the number of viewers was lower than usual.
But it couldn't be helped.
Because it was heavily advertised that the Viol making film would be uploaded exactly at 12 AM tonight.
"First, let's watch the making film. I usually don't review these kinds of ad videos, but today I'm overflowing with
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Joo Seo-yeon definitely caused a riot during filming.
- Bong-sik's fantasies are going to be shattered.
- It's funny that he still has fantasies left to be shattered by Joo Seo-yeon ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Mine were shattered when she pierced it with her coconut fingers.
- Even those unshattered will be instantly wiped out if they see her wrestling a bear on the recent Japanese variety show.
Sharing such light banter, 5 minutes passed waiting for the video to be released with the viewers.
Exactly at 12 AM.
The Viol making film was uploaded.
A mere 10-minute making film.
'Neither too short, nor too long.'
Bong-sik thought it was just the right length.
It was a making film, after all.
Even if it's too long, there's nothing to see and it's just full of small talk.
Click.
When he pressed the play button of the video with that thought.
"Seo-il."
A soft voice tickled his ears as it flowed in.
"Ah, stop it."
"My, this is the part the director requested."
A girl smiling with her eyes, covering her mouth with her sleeve.
Park Jung-woo staring at her with a sullen face.
From him, a bewilderment that couldn't be hidden by his sullen face was revealed.
However, the viewers watching the video weren't much different.
- Seo-il????
- Who are you????
- ??????
Numerous question marks starting to appear in the chat, commonly called hooks, began to flood the chat.
Even Bong-sik, who was supposed to host the stream, was momentarily speechless.
'Who is that?'
Probably, anyone who watched the video would have thought the same.
The girl who first whispered 'Seo-il' sent a mischievous look towards Park Jung-woo.
"That... is actress Joo Seo-yeon, right?"
Bong-sik also asked the viewers again.
This was Bong-sik who had seen the Viol ad today.
It was true that he was immersed in nostalgia and had thoughts of doing the Taesumdal review again, but he thought that was partly due to the photo's effect.
However, the video was incomparably more destructive than the photo.
"Actress Joo Seo-yeon, please stand there in front. As if you're under a tree."
Standing with her back against the green background, Seo-yeon took her place as if she were under a tree.
And Park Jung-woo stood beside her.
Because the main focus of the ad was, after all, Park Jung-woo.
"If it were really a tree, I think it would remind me of when I was young."
"Well, there were a lot of such scenes."
"Back then, you were such a sullen little kid, so honestly, you were a bit annoying."
"What?"
Park Jung-woo, who had been trying hard to avoid Seo-yeon's gaze, turned to look at her sharply at those words.
Because he had no idea that Seo-yeon would have thought like that back then.
The young Park Jung-woo was certainly an arrogant little kid, but still, wasn't he the senior!
In front of him, who had turned sharply, Seo-yeon's white face came into view.
Eyes curved like a crescent moon, and the sunset-colored irises visible between them.
Lips drawing a soft curve.
As Seo-yeon's face drew closer, Park Jung-woo froze stiff.
"I'm joking."
With a click of the shutter, Seo-yeon stepped back a couple of steps.
At the mischievous smile hanging on her lips, the frozen Park Jung-woo stuttered, unable to say a word.
Seo-yeon waved her hand a couple of times in front of Park Jung-woo's face, then gave a thumbs up to the director.
"How is it, director? Did it come out well?"
"Of course, of course! It's the best. Let's keep shooting like this!!"
The excited voice of the director was heard.
Then Seo-yeon nudged the still-frozen Park Jung-woo's side with her elbow.
"Sunbae, stop joking around too."
"Ah, no. What was that. Y-yeah."
As their appearances came out one by one in the video, the viewers also started to come to their senses little by little.
Who?
No, who is she?
Joo Seo-yeon?
For real?
Her smile is different.
Our Joo Seo-yeon doesn't cover her mouth with her sleeve and laugh.
Does Joo Seo-yeon even smile like that?
Wait, is the one going "Oh my?" really Joo Seo-yeon????
It's her ㅇㅇ;;;
Such words came up in the chat in droves.
It was clearly a making film, but it felt like a scene from a drama.
Actor Park Jung-woo was always a thorough professional during shoots.
It was rare for him to show such a flustered appearance.
- Does Park Jung-woo like Joo Seo-yeon??????
- No no no, it seems like his feeling of bewilderment was just bigger.
- Honestly, I'd be flustered too if Joo Seo-yeon acted like that....
Anyway, the making film was also exquisitely shot.
Although Park Jung-woo's flustered appearance was frequently captured, there were no blatant scenes to the extent of causing a scandal.
Above all, Seo-yeon's actions were also shocking.
"Actress Joo Seo-yeon, please smile there."
"Like this?"
Her tone was gentle, and Seo-yeon's soft smile was truly beautiful enough to make one lose their mind.
If one had watched The Moon that Hid the Sun 10 years ago, there would be one memory that comes to mind with that smile.
The smile the young Princess Yeonhwa gave to Seo-il before leaving.
A smile that looked exactly like that smile.
"Yeah, it's similar."
Bong-sik quickly pulled up the video of Taesumdal up to episode 3, which he had prepared for the review.
He paused its ending and overlaid it with the current making film.
"It's completely Princess Yeonhwa."
The young Princess Yeonhwa's smile and Seo-yeon's current smile were identical.
Just that she had grown up a bit more.
And the photo Bong-sik composited like that...
[Past memories shown in Viol's making film.]
[Princess Yeonhwa Joo Seo-yeon, a long-ago memory visits you again.]
[An actress with two faces, Joo Seo-yeon! Another image transformation!!]
Began to pour out as articles at once.
That was barely 12 hours after the making film was uploaded.
***
- Joo Seo-yeon, you evil gorilla bitch, give back our Princess Yeonhwa!!!
- Liberate Princess Yeonhwa trapped in the body of an evil headbutting dinosaur!!
- You're Joo Seo-yeon, not Princess Yeonhwa!!
"……."
The impact of the making film was truly tremendous.
How long had it been since an elegant Joo Seo-yeon was posted in the fan cafe, which had only been circulating bear-wrestling Joo Seo-yeon memes for a while.
Seo-yeon was inwardly moved, but separately from that.
"No, I am Princess Yeonhwa, and Princess Yeonhwa is me."
Seo-yeon felt aggrieved.
It had become an established theory in the community that Princess Yeonhwa and Joo Seo-yeon were separate people.
Seo-yeon glanced at the mirror in her room and smiled.
But it was true that a smile like the Princess Yeonhwa version didn't come out.
But trying method acting with the Princess Yeonhwa vibe felt like she would be losing somehow.
'But then again, it didn't really feel like acting.'
Hmm, Seo-yeon crossed her arms and pondered.
After the making film was released yesterday, Seo-yeon's house was also in an uproar.
In the case of her younger sister Soo-yeon, she was seen struggling with something while Seo-yeon was sleeping.
Looking closely, it seemed she was forcibly putting the Viol clothes received during the shoot on her.
Our little sister is quite strong, Seo-yeon thought as she watched.
"……What are you doing?"
"I was wondering if your personality changes when you wear a hanbok."
It's not like a hanbok is a symbiote, there's no way that happens.
Likewise, when Seo-yeon came out wearing a hanbok, Young-bin was seen having a fit.
"Um, is this my daughter?"
"……."
Now she didn't even have the energy left to burn a chair.
Anyway, this impact was extraordinary, to the point that she even got a call from Jo Seo-hee in Japan.
[Seo-yeon, I saw the ad making film, is this really you?]
"It's me."
[Ah, no. It's not that, but the atmosphere between you and Jung-woo sunbae was strange, nothing happened, right?]
"We played Kalbaram together yesterday."
[Eh? Kalbaram?]
Anyway, since Seo-hee was also doing VTuber work in her own way, she knew what Kalbaram was.
Separately from that, it meant they were close enough to play such a game together just the two of them.
'Suspicious, suspicious. I must interrogate her later. The way Seo-yeon looked in the making film was no joke!'
Words that would make Park Jung-woo feel deeply wronged if he heard them.
No, he was truly aggrieved.
Because Jo Seo-hee, who had called Seo-yeon, immediately contacted Park Jung-woo.
"Hey, Joo Seo-yeon and the Princess Yeonhwa in the making film are different people."
[What do you mean, they're the same person.]
"……."
No, they are the same, but.
I'm saying the vibe is completely different?
Anyway, that Joo Seo-yeon was identical to the young Joo Seo-yeon who used to confuse Park Jung-woo.
Well, it's not much different now either... but when she came out like that, it was very flustering for Park Jung-woo.
"Hey, hey. M-more importantly, NewLike contacted me."
[...Yes? NewLike?]
"No, suddenly they asked me... how I felt about a modern fusion historical drama? Based on a web novel..."
[What did you say?!]
Park Jung-woo flinched at Jo Seo-hee's voice filled with anger.
Jo Seo-hee disliked her acquaintances getting entangled with her family.
Because of her mother's affair, too.
It could cause problems in many ways.
'I'm sorry, ahjussi.'
YW9peUx5cktZYXhyU2hzY1VsMkQ0ZEFiT21qTDNSL0dpTW11N1RabDVmU2I2UTgxK2haeVdEcnFmVDR4bDlqZw
Park Jung-woo sent a slight apology.
Because it was unavoidable if he wanted to survive.
