Seo-yeon inwardly thought she was doomed.
As mentioned, there are few opportunities to appear on Japanese broadcasts.
In other words, it means there are overwhelmingly few chances to salvage her image.
As for the variety shows she appeared on before, it was before the person named Seo-yeon became widely known.
But now it's different.
Various activities, including the variety shows she appeared on back then.
Plus, the buzz from
Practically, the variety show she appeared on this time was highly likely to be the first impression most Japanese viewers would have of Seo-yeon.
That's why she tried to portray a character image like 'Yuina' as much as possible.
'It's my fault for not checking properly! But still!'
Seo-yeon stopped her trembling hand from moving the mouse and typed on the keyboard.
[It's all Kalbaram's fault. If only I hadn't played Kalbaram back then]
[? What are you talking about?]
[When they contacted us from Japan, why didn't you quickly watch the video?]
Park Jung-woo, watching Seo-yeon's chat, narrowed his eyes and leaned his face toward the monitor.
He was flustered, wondering if he had read the chat correctly.
[Are you going to be unreasonable? If you're talking about a video, the punch machine video that went up in Japan this time?]
[That was a video they asked if it was okay to include. At that time, they said they'd upload the punch machine part....]
[Well, wasn't the reaction hot though?]
[It was hot. As a VS debate.]
At Park Jung-woo's words, Seo-yeon let out a deep sigh.
Wasn't it hot?
Of course it was hot! It couldn't help but be hot.
A video of her destroying a punch machine in one hit appeared on screen.
Sure enough, posts about that issue went up quickly in Ju Seo-yeon's fan community.
- As expected, even the real Ju Seo-yeon can't beat the character she plays ㅇㅇ
- Cha Seo-ah whatever, Ju Seo-yeon's one punch is a neck break
- Did Ju Seo-yeon get a serum injection from somewhere?
- ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ Actually, even trying to play the villain was to add more plausibility, wasn't it
- The man who catches Seo-yeon would be lucky, making lots of money and getting a bodyguard too
- Isn't that the man getting caught?
Roughly that kind of vibe.
She couldn't bring herself to look at the Japanese communities out of fear.
It was probably a similar reaction.
'What should I do about this.'
The answer Seo-yeon came up with was only one.
The web novel-based drama
In the end, the only straw Seo-yeon could grasp at times like this was one.
Princess Yeonhwa!
With one shot of Princess Yeonhwa, there might somehow be a chance for a complete comeback....
As Seo-yeon was pondering how to bring out the princess trapped inside her.
[What are you talking about. Didn't you check the Japanese Twitter trends?]
[Huh?]
[Right before this variety show aired,
[Huh?????]
No, what is this talking about.
Seo-yeon quickly searched 'Ju Seo-yeon Japan trend' on her phone.
Then, several articles immediately popped up.
[I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll leave. Fighting, Kalbaram.]
[???? Hey! You're just leaving like this?]
[Ah, but it would be a nuisance to my teammates, so I should stay until the end.]
[Shouldn't you think of it as a nuisance to me too?]
She knew that Park Jung-woo, despite saying that, wasn't someone who particularly cared about this kind of thing.
No matter what, work is more important than a game.
But these days, if you desert, you get various penalties, so she had no choice but to stay until the end.
Actually, if Seo-yeon put her mind to it, winning the game wasn't that difficult.
Especially in Kalbaram.
"It's real."
Seo-yeon rubbed her eyes.
She could see
Above all, contrary to Seo-yeon's expectations, her actions didn't seem to have had a particularly negative impact in Japan.
Quite the opposite.
In Japan, there were so many celebrities with over-the-top concepts that Seo-yeon simply drew attention for being 'special.'
Above all, the fact that Seo-yeon was currently a high school girl seemed to have great appeal.
- So-yeon-chan, a person from fantasy?
- A high school girl who can destroy a punch machine in one hit www Which light novel did she come from wwww
- Yuina's appearance was really cool, but I also like So-yeon-chan's usual look
- It was funny when they asked if Stella was Marvel or DC
- That was definitely asking which universe she came from wwww
- It was super cute how she didn't understand because she was innocent and said she likes Marvel
- Eh wwww So-yeon-chan likes Marvel? Liking such kuso movies, I doubt her taste
- Still, the Avengers action was good, as expected from Director Jack
Looking roughly through the thread that continued from yesterday, there were many such comments.
Words asking whether the punch machine scene Seo-yeon showed was real or fake.
At first, there were many claims of manipulation.
- No way. My friends and I also took a video right there at that time
- Is it okay to film like that?
- There's no way we wouldn't film Stella walking www
- That's true. The staff didn't stop you.
- The staff said it was okay at that time
The video taken at that time actually helped Seo-yeon.
Although it was filmed in poor quality, the scene of Seo-yeon striking the punch machine with one hand was properly captured.
The scene of many people murmuring at the loud bang that rang through the arcade, saying 'Is this real?' 'The punch machine is broken?' was captured exactly as it was.
The words about Seo-yeon that started spreading like that began to burn as an even hotter flame as it became known again that Seo-yeon was an active high school girl.
Her genius as an actress.
Plus her outstanding physical ability.
With a character-like quality as if from a manga, she immediately started entering Twitter trends.
"......This, Ma-in must have aimed for this, right?"
And, that special side of Seo-yeon.
In other words, people in Japan who wanted to see things like her destroying the punch machine started to appear.
What those people found was
The reason
"It's a relief, but."
Seo-yeon thought.
Isn't this receiving too much attention?
It's fortunate that a strange image hasn't formed, but, um, isn't it a bit too much?
Seo-yeon's recognition in Japan rose in an instant, to the point that even Seo-yeon, who had received various attention from many places, was bewildered.
And.
"Representative Kang Chan-yul!!"
At least four people smiled at Seo-yeon's sudden surge in popularity.
"Now is the time! It's the chance for our Nova Enter's idols to advance into Japan!"
Nova Enter, Seo-yeon's agency.
"Eclat Etoile, let's shoot a new advertisement for Japan. Is Actor Ju Seo-yeon's schedule available? Currently, our brand can't really compete against other brands in the Japanese market, but now is the chance, the chance!!"
And Eclat Etoile, who made Seo-yeon their exclusive advertising model when she was at her cheapest.
"Ahem, a chair? Funnily enough, we have a new model we've been preparing to sell recently......, Actor Ju Seo-yeon? My, Actor Ju Seo-yeon is busy. But don't worry,
Right, Aids, who filmed
The representatives of these three places were literally wearing smiles of happiness with their mouths stretched wide.
The more Seo-yeon surged, the more they surged together!
It could truly be called a Bitcoin-like rise!
Lastly.
"The other directors feel like they've completely taken a hit."
Kim Chang-gyu, the head of the Cultural Business Division, said to Kang Tae-jin with a satisfied smile.
"I didn't expect the favorable factor from
Looking at Kang Tae-jin smiling quietly, Kim Chang-gyu gulped dry saliva.
If he had anticipated it, wouldn't he literally be a god of business?
'When everyone was saying to make another actor the lead, you firmly pushed for Actor Ju Seo-yeon.'
Even when the board of directors opposed making the audition into a variety show, Kang Tae-jin was the one who pushed through, saying he would resign if it didn't work out.
Since there had never been a case where he pushed his opinion like a runaway train like this, Kim Chang-gyu was also puzzled, but.
'I never imagined the situation would turn out like this.'
But he didn't know it would go beyond that and get a reaction from Japan.
Above all,
However, how to advertise it was the issue......
'It's all been resolved at once.'
Could this have been done aiming for this?
As Kim Chang-gyu looked at Kang Tae-jin with such thoughts.
"It's not particularly like that."
"Yes?"
"I'm not a prophet, how could I have known it would turn out like this?"
"But......"
Didn't it actually turn out like this?
As he looked with such thoughts.
"I just wanted to trust my eyes once. It's a gamble. A gamble."
As is usual with gambling, isn't it high risk, high return.
He just succeeded in that gamble.
'Because she's that guy's daughter.'
At first, he didn't know.
The acting she showed in
Later when he looked into it, she was just that guy's daughter.
At this level, isn't it almost fate.
Of course, if they knew this, they might laugh saying, 'A robot like you made such a reckless bet?'
"Well, I learned from a guy I know. When throwing a decisive bet, you must be prepared to get hurt."
If he had lost this gamble, it wouldn't have ended with just a fatal wound.
Because there were more than one or two people in this GH Group aiming for his neck.
"It just happened to work out well."
Kang Tae-jin smiled.
With this, there wouldn't be many who would dare to challenge his future moves.
Right now, he had obtained a blade that powerful.
***
Narumi Sora.
She was originally a failed actress.
In Japan, she was.
The action acting she wanted to do, like the Hong Kong action movies she saw long ago.
But there was no place left in Japan where she could perform such acting.
Of course, it's not that there were none at all.
If you look, there are surely some.
But it was impossible for Sora to enter those few positions.
The actors who would enter those places.
Actors with more experience and better skills than her were tightly occupying those positions, so there was no chance for someone like her whose only experience was doing a few plays in a theater troupe.
So, what Sora chose was going to Korea.
From her perspective, Korea seemed like a more suitable market for filming action movies than Japan.
"You're full of empty wind. Are you perhaps going because of K-pop?"
"No. I'm for action acting......"
"Nonsense. There are a lot of kids like you these days. Kids who go to Korea saying the idol market is now all about K-pop. And do you know what happens? Ten out of ten, they all just do trainee work and come back."
"No, I'm not an idol, I'm an actress."
"What's different about being an actress? Acting is about dialogue, can you speak Korean that well?"
"......"
She came to Korea receiving such ridicule.
Of course, Sora could speak Korean to some extent.
She learned the lacking parts whenever she had time, and by chance came to appear on
And she got good results.
When she went to Japan a while ago, she received somewhat envious glances.
But that was about it.
Sora was an unfamiliar actress in Japan.
In Japan, she was someone who didn't particularly need to be noticed.
It had been like that until now.
Right, it was like that until yesterday.
[Sora. Are you appearing in a drama in Korea?]
"Huh?"
[Your father told me. He said Sora appears in a variety show uploaded on Netrix. So I wondered what it was, and guess what! Sora's audition in Korea was in the rankings.]
At the sudden words, Sora couldn't help but be flustered.
That was because Sora hadn't properly told her parents about her work in Korea yet.
She just said she joined an agency.
Then she appeared on an audition variety show.
And that she might be able to appear in a movie.
Yes, she 'might' be able to appear.
If a problem occurred and she couldn't appear, her parents would surely be greatly disappointed.
So her parents also thought Sora just said that so they wouldn't worry.
They thought she would handle it well on her own and buried it in their memories.
But, as
After all, wasn't she the person who had a 'match' in the finals against Ju Seo-yeon, who gathered attention with her tremendous physical ability, even destroying a punch machine in Japan?
A beautiful woman with a ponytail, looking like she was drawn in a picture.
It was natural for Japan to take notice of Sora, who was close to a Japanese beauty.
Originally, harboring special feelings toward one's own people who achieved great things in another country was the same in any country.
The more Ju Seo-yeon became a topic for her outstanding physical ability, the more Sora's ability, who had somewhat competed with such Seo-yeon, was emphasized.
- The fight with So-yeon-chan at the end was real acting, right?
- There's no CG but it's incredibly powerful?
- Nunchaku www Isn't that super old?
- It's funny because she handles it so well
- So-yeon-chan is practically flying, but Sora-chan is amazing
Sora couldn't help but be dumbfounded looking at posts about herself on Twitter.
Because she wondered what on earth was going on.
