The actors of the recently trending
With the news that Joo Seo-yeon, the actress who played Kasugayama Yuina, would be appearing on a variety show, the internet was in quite an uproar.
Since Japan had never seen a proper variety show featuring Seo-yeon, they were half-doubtful.
On the other hand, the Korean fan community was already brimming with anticipation.
- Is it today? Joo Seo-yeon appearing on I Tried Winning, right?
- Yeah, it's starting soon
- The masters meeting Joo Seo-yeon are all going to get their heads smashed
- Fact)
Seo-yeon, who had already shown various sides of herself on variety shows.
The so-called internet image of Seo-yeon was.
- This is Joo Seo-yeon!
The strength and stamina to sprint at full speed while carrying two actresses!
The dynamic vision to 'see' and dodge paintballs!
The guts to ride a bear around and smack it on the back of the head!
- At that point, isn't she just a Terminator?
- Real lol
With viewers keeping their seats with roughly that kind of vibe.
『Now then, today we have no less than! Ten masters waiting.』
The first to appear on screen was the variety show's host, Katsuyoshi.
He started chattering in a more agitated tone than usual.
『Why ten! It's because we have a special guest today. Ah~, indeed. It was really difficult. Really. Really!』
『There he goes again. Again.』
『Why would there be a special guest every time?』
At the exaggerated words typical of Japanese comedians, the other panelists lightly booed.
The entertainers who regularly appeared on
Could be said to be audience members who reacted to the matches against the masters.
『Ahem! Anyway! That's enough explanation of today's rules, and we have brought in the special guest who will be facing the masters.』
Along with Katsuyoshi's words, the large door behind him opened to both sides.
Smoke billowed out, spreading across the floor like fog.
- She's coming out she's coming out
- Lol look at them preparing a whole ten people
- Usually it's one, right?
- Yeah, today really feels specially prepared
As the Korean viewers, filled with anticipation, ran live commentary in real time.
Tap.
A low footstep struck everyone's ears.
『O-Ohhhh!』
『No way!』
The panelists shouted, adding exaggerated interjections.
It was a prepared reaction, but it was just a little bit late.
Even though they must have rehearsed beforehand, their flustered feelings were conveyed through the screen.
『Today's challenger is! The actress who played Kasugayama Yuina in the recently released movie,
As the smoke cleared, Seo-yeon's revealed appearance was that of 'Kasugayama Yuina' from the movie
A pipe in her hand, a haughty appearance.
At the dizzying atmosphere that appeared in an instant, the panelists forgot to chatter for a moment and stuttered.
Their behavior seemed to further emphasize Seo-yeon's presence.
'Good.'
Feeling that the vibe was properly conveyed through the screen, the PD of
Ninomiya Daiki clenched his fist.
At that time, it was Seo-yeon's idea to say she wanted to wear the outfit from
"I came to promote the movie, would it be okay if I dressed up as 'Yuina'?"
Normally, he would have refused, but since the president had previously asked him to listen to Seo-yeon's opinions as much as possible, he had no choice but to nod.
So during the first rehearsal, she wore ordinary clothes.
But during the actual filming, she dressed up as Yuina.
This part was Daiki's idea.
He thought it might produce a more realistic reaction from the panelists.
It was a recording anyway, so if it wasn't good, they could just reshoot it.
And, that attempt was quite satisfactory.
- What, is that really Joo Seo-yeon?
- The vibe is seriously so Yuina
- She looked really freaking pretty in Gyeongseong Lady lol
- I secretly hoped he'd end up with Yuina instead of Michiko... seriously
Even those expecting Seo-yeon's lighthearted appearance naturally shifted the topic to Yuina.
Since
Because Yuina was actually a character who left a deep impression in the movie.
『Hello, I'm Joo Seo-yeon, who played the role of Kasugayama Yuina in Gyeongseong Lady.』
The neat Japanese that followed.
Since Seo-yeon had never spoken in Japanese on broadcast before, the panelists let out a light cheer at her words.
『You speak Japanese well?』
『I only practiced the greeting.』
『You just answered, though?』
『Because this is as far as the script goes.』
Seo-yeon's appearance as she spoke with a soft smile was exactly like Yuina in the movie.
A classic noble lady.
With that vibe, the comedian panelist who had asked stood up for no reason and gave a polite bow.
『Oh my, I feel somehow very apologetic.』
『Why are you acting so embarrassingly polite!』
『Seo-yeon-san, please don't mind this person!』
In the very bustling atmosphere, Seo-yeon smiled as if she was a bit troubled.
As expected, this unique Japanese variety show atmosphere felt quite different from Korea.
In the past, Korean variety shows also generally had this feel, but they changed independently over time.
'I shouldn't just give off a lighthearted vibe.'
Anyway, there was another reason Seo-yeon deliberately took on the concept of 'Yuina'.
'Because I can't appear on TV as often as in Korea.'
Her friendly appearance would already be filled by the 'Encounter with the Bear' that would come out as a behind-the-scenes story in the documentary.
At that time, Seo-yeon also played comfortably, but separately, she couldn't keep giving off only that kind of image.
Especially in the case of Japan, she didn't know when she would be able to appear again.
In other words, this image could last a long time.
The familiar image would be sufficient with the footage filmed at Fuji Safari Park anyway, so she had to balance it out with a somewhat heavier image.
'Also, they say I'm generally good at using my body thoughtlessly.'
Ugh, Seo-yeon slightly frowned so that others wouldn't notice.
The coconut-piercing master who came out first was like that too.
Doing it wasn't a problem, but the repercussions of doing it were scary.
Didn't she pierce a coconut once in
Even in Japan, if it was the same, it would be the same; it wouldn't be different.
'Like Yuina, like Yuina.'
There's also movie promotion, so by dressing up and bringing out Yuina's atmosphere, she kills the lighthearted vibe as much as possible.
That was the reason Seo-yeon dressed up as Yuina and filmed the variety show at the time.
And, at the point of 2 weeks passing.
Now that the broadcast started, Seo-yeon watched the broadcast and left a post on the internet.
- Wow, isn't Yuina's vibe amazing? Joo Seo-yeon really suits that kind of haughty acting the best, right?
After turning on a VPN first and leaving such a post.
- Hmm... Agreed
- Her image has been a bit too light for a recent actress.
- The Viol ad that came out before was definitely good too yeah
Seo-yeon nodded at the viewers' reactions moving according to her thoughts for the first time in a while.
This is it.
It was truly a satisfying reaction.
And Seo-yeon quickly sent a KakaoTalk message to Sora as well.
- Sora, did you happen to post on the Japanese community?
- Uh, am I supposed to post?
- Hurry up and go go
She left the Japanese side to Sora.
Anyway, since she had planted people to protect her image in Japan as well, Seo-yeon just needed to watch the broadcast now.
Fortunately, the masters who appeared afterward had no parts requiring excessive muscle strength as usual, so it was safe.
'I acted as mildly as possible for the parts where something like that could come out, so it should be fine.'
Seo-yeon was confident in her acting skills.
Because she was an actress!
Thinking so, Seo-yeon leisurely watched the variety show.
Seo-yeon, dressed as Yuina on the screen, was currently chatting and promoting
『I heard the response to this Gyeongseong Lady was at a level you completely didn't expect?』
When the host Katsuyoshi asked, Seo-yeon nodded.
From here on, an interpreter was attached and conveyed Seo-yeon's words instead.
"It was the first time a Korean movie was released simultaneously in Japan, and due to the specificity of the genre, I thought it would be difficult to expect good results."
But it achieved unexpected results.
Such words.
Then, Katsuyoshi asked a few things he was most curious about.
It was important information scheduled to be asked on today's variety show.
『Your passionate acting alongside actress Stella in Gyeongseong Lady became a hot topic. Were you originally acquainted with actress Stella?』
It was something she had been often asked before, but today it was deeper.
What kind of encounter they had in Korea.
And the things that happened on the filming set.
Since Stella had very high name recognition in Japan, they utilized that for promotion.
"I met her really by chance in Korea."
To speak of it, it was about Stella staying a night with Seo-yeon in Korea.
This part had already been permitted by Stella in advance.
'She accepted it with some reluctance, though.'
When Seo-yeon contacted her by text about it, Stella said this.
[You can say other things too, you know?]
[Other things?]
[What I said at the airport]
[I will absolutely not]
[XD]
Stella was truly burdensome, but anyway, it was also true that she helped a lot, so she had at least told her they should meet once next time.
'...I definitely have to bring Jo Seo-hee when we meet.'
It was unfortunate for Lee Ji-yeon, but she wasn't much help when dealing with Stella.
At times like this, she had to borrow the power of the villain Young-ae.
Anyway, the story about Stella ended like that.
In the video, the confrontation with the masters began in earnest.
『The first opponent is~, yes, the master of playing cards!』
The first to appear was a master who came out spreading cards flashily in his hand.
For a moment, Seo-yeon wondered if they were going to play some sort of card catching game here, but fortunately, that wasn't it.
He suddenly threw a card, swish, and flashily extinguished a lit candle.
At his appearance, brief exclamations of admiration came from around.
- Wow, how can he throw playing cards like that
- Totally like Twisted Fate
- Joo Seo-yeon doesn't have the skill so she can't do that
- No no, how delicate is Joo Seo-yeon
- Joo Seo-yeon is delicate? Who are you?
At the sudden doubt, Seo-yeon stopped writing comments and pouted.
Because she was actually a very delicate girl.
But, this broadcast would soothe her unjust feelings.
『Now then, I will challenge you.』
『Haha, you can't easily copy it just by practicing a little.』
The master laughed heartily and threw cards swish, swish.
Then, the master extinguished the candle flames with a hundred percent accuracy.
Seo-yeon also threw it a few times during practice, but it couldn't even fly properly in the first place.
『Now then~ Challenge!!』
At the moment the host shouted like that, Seo-yeon put strength in her wrist with a serious face and threw cards in succession.
And the candle split in half.
- ?
- ?
- Joo Seo-yeon: Die split in half
- Did she cut the candle with a card?
- Well, the candle is thin but....
It felt like the broadcasting station was also buzzing because they couldn't properly see what had happened in that instant.
Looking at it in slow motion, three cards flew in succession, piercing the same spot on the candle one after another, causing it to split.
"Didn't I extinguish the candle?"
At Seo-yeon's words, the host Katsuyoshi nodded awkwardly.
Well, she did extinguish the candle.
By killing the source of the candle flame.
『Uh, what is this... she did extinguish the candle.』
Therefore, a draw!
That appeared in the subtitles, and they moved on to the next match.
- If it were a card made of steel, wouldn't it cut a person's neck?
- Unfortunate fact about Joo Seo-yeon: She wasn't trying to put out the fire from the start, she was trying to kill the candle
- If you kill the candle, the fire does go out yeah
- Just seeing that she hit the same spot on the candle three times with cards, you can tell how delicate Joo Seo-yeon's hand movements are
- Is that usually considered delicate?
Anyway, the first match.
The match requiring delicate hand movements ended in a draw.
And the master who came out second was.
『This is the master of memorization. It's said to be a master who can memorize anything in an instant.』
Surprisingly, memorization also required stamina.
Seo-yeon felt inwardly relieved when the memorization master came out.
Because another violent one didn't appear.
And, memorization was also a field Seo-yeon was quite confident in.
Thus, the memorization match that unfolded had Seo-yeon fighting quite well, but ended with the master's victory.
Because she couldn't perfectly memorize the entire assigned book within the time limit.
- No, Joo Seo-yeon is pretty good at memorization?
- So she wasn't a total meathead
- I thought she was smart after seeing Sky Garden, is her head not that good?
- My cousin goes to Yeonhwa High School and they said Joo Seo-yeon sucks at studying lol
- Who are you?
- ?
- Who are you to ask that, scary
Like that, one out of three matches was a draw.
And one was recorded as a loss.
Usually, they play three matches in one category, but since they competed one by one individually, it was relatively disadvantageous for Seo-yeon.
Therefore, Seo-yeon losing was, in a way, natural.
In the first place, the variety show was for the purpose of promoting the movie, and rather, a 'situation where losing is natural' was comfortable for Seo-yeon as well.
Maintaining Yuina's haughty appearance in her own way, when she drew the number ticket for the last opponent.
『Ohh, this is!』
Katsuyoshi exclaimed, and was surprised to see the man walking out.
A person with a considerable build came out.
『The master of the punch machine, Tetsuma-san!!』
Whether he was quite famous, he twitched his developed trapezius muscles, raised both arms, and gave a big greeting.
At his appearance, Seo-yeon made a nervous face.
'What was bound to come has come.'
At that time, Seo-yeon was actually thinking that.
Well, it couldn't be helped!
The punch machine, if she did well, would inevitably stick an overly violent image to her that she couldn't wash off.
Of course, Seo-yeon, who was watching this broadcast, was momentarily puzzled.
'Huh? Why is this coming out?'
That was because, while only three matches were shown on the broadcast, they actually did more.
That was natural since it was a recording.
They had several matches, and decided to select and air the three that looked best.
As Seo-yeon remembered, it was cards, memorization, and cup stacking.
Especially in cup stacking, Seo-yeon appropriately adjusted her speed during the match, well-directioning a narrow loss to the master.
So she thought those three would be broadcast...
'Come to think of it... I think I got a message saying they changed it midway.'
She didn't remember well because she was doing the keto diet at the time, but a message did come.
They said the punch machine side seemed to have better visuals.
'Right, right. I said it was okay because I thought that side would rather emphasize a fragile appearance.'
The problem was that it seemed she had sent something as an attachment then, but she had completely forgotten about it.
'...Nothing bad happened, right?'
At least when she filmed it, nothing happened.
Thinking that, Seo-yeon watched the broadcast with tense eyes.
『Tetsuma-san has toured various punch machines in the country and renewed all their 1st place records, and is actually a pro active in mixed martial arts tournaments. He is also the domestic arm wrestling champion.』
At the host's words.
- Then he's not really a master of the punch machine lol
- He should've just come out as the master of arm wrestling
As if he was actually a figure who induced such reactions, light booing burst out from the panelists.
In the first place, the category of a punch machine itself was disadvantageous for an actress.
Then, when Tetsuma slammed the punch machine, a score of 999 was neatly displayed.
The highest score at once!
Along with the panelists' admiration, Tetsuma shrugged his shoulders.
『Next, actress Joo Seo-yeon's challenge!』
Seo-yeon briefly nodded at Katsuyoshi's words and stepped forward.
'Absolutely weakly.'
Slowly gauging the distance to the punch machine, Seo-yeon shifted her weight and still feinted swinging her fist!
With a feeling of hitting with full power, in her own way.
With a thud! sound, the swung punch machine recorded exactly 700 points.
Tetsuma admired that score.
『If it's that much score with one hand, it's really amazing.』
『Ah, come to think of it, it's one hand!』
『It seems it turned out that way because you lacked the knack.』
Since the match was the sum of the scores from hitting three times, she hit more in succession, but the scores were 700, 800, 800 for Seo-yeon, resulting in Seo-yeon's defeat. Because the surroundings admired the fact that she hit with one hand the first time, she feinted hitting using both hands for the following two times.
- Still, 800 points is freaking high
- Isn't it lower than expected for Joo Seo-yeon?
- Honestly, I thought she'd break the punch machine
- Joo Seo-yeon isn't a real gorilla, how could she lol
- Actually Joo Seo-yeon is more fragile than she looks
- ?
- That's not true
Just as the match, which ended more blandly than expected, was about to finish like that.
It was the moment Seo-yeon was relieved that she had planted a somewhat fragile image.
[Additional footage here!]
A large subtitle slammed onto the screen with a bang bang bang, and the screen transitioned.
It was the sight of the three actresses and Stella who appeared in
'Wait. Don't tell me.'
Only then did it come to mind.
Come to think of it, around this time too, they were filming a video doing some vlog for the
Since the video filmed then wasn't used separately, it was a bolt from the blue for Seo-yeon, who had completely forgotten about it!
The moment Seo-yeon looked at the screen with a flustered face.
With a loud boom, the sight of the punch machine shaking was captured on screen.
『Which is it, Marvel or DC?』
At Stella's words asking quite seriously.
- She's asking which one, Marvel or DC lol
- At that level, it's still realistic
- Realistic??
- ?
- Isn't a bomb going off right now?
- LMAO they caught her acting for the broadcast lol
- ......
At the internet reactions that fiercely followed, Seo-yeon wrapped her head with both hands.
Because she figured it would obviously be plastered with another meme similar to Korea.
'I'm doomed.'
She thought so, but.
- What's with the Japanese real-time trends?
- It's almost entirely plastered with Joo Seo-yeon right now?
[Pretty girl with reversal charm]
[Fantasy appearing in reality]
[Super High School Girl]
[Joo Seo-yeon]
[Kasugayama Yuina]
[Gyeongseong Lady]
[Netrix 'Mine]
The following reactions were completely different from what Seo-yeon had thought.
