Expedition leader Jung Daehyun.
An entertainer who had filmed Wilderness Survival until now, traveling through numerous remote areas.
For him, equipped with outstanding physical abilities and even more outstanding adaptability, this filming would not be much different from usual.
Therefore, it was all the more difficult.
‘Getting footage isn’t going to be easy.’
The two actors who came to promote the movie.
In such cases, the promotion often took precedence over the variety show.
Originally.
‘The actress named Joo Seoyeon is still a teenage high school girl.’
Naturally, there were more things she couldn’t do than things she could.
A young actress with many things to worry about on an ordinary uninhabited island.
Honestly, he was just wondering why they sent someone who wasn’t even the lead for promotion, but...
‘Still, I have to work hard to save the broadcast.’
He is a professional.
Promotion is promotion.
Variety show is variety show.
He intended to make the most of either side.
Because whatever happened,
However.
“Seoyeon, the fish went that way!”
At Bang Hayeon’s shout, Seoyeon picked up a wooden spear.
It was the wooden spear Seoyeon had been carrying around all along.
‘No, if you stab so clumsily like that...’
The moment Jung Daehyun was thinking that.
Stab!!
The spear pierced through the body of the fish that had just moved.
The movement was clumsy, but the speed covered for it.
“Oh, she caught it.”
“Amazing!!”
Naturally, the expedition members cheered.
Because they didn’t expect Seoyeon to catch it in one try.
People applauded Seoyeon, who was smiling triumphantly while holding up the fish skewered on the spear, but...
‘Hmm?’
In the case of actor Park Heejoon and Jungwoo, they just looked at her with eyes that said, ‘I guess that’s how it is.’
And that was just the beginning.
Climbing mountains, catching bugs.
Jung Daehyun clicked his tongue in amazement at her active movements.
‘Did she perhaps do some sports?’
Otherwise, it was an incomprehensible level.
“From now on, we’ll be going by raft. I and... will row.”
Park Heejoon, and Park Jungwoo.
The last spot was supposed to be given to the member who always paired up with them, but...
“...Miss Seoyeon, do you want to do it?”
“Yes.”
Anyway, she was doing everything actively.
What should this be called beyond a variety show...?
‘She seems... excited.’
Just as Jung Daehyun thought, Seoyeon was in a quite excited state.
It could be said that Seoyeon’s mood was probably the most uplifted since the training camp in middle school.
As mentioned before, since she originally had a dull side to her emotions, Seoyeon was the type of personality that didn’t easily calm down once her heart was lifted.
In a way, it could be said that she was particularly vulnerable to pleasure.
If Lee Jiyeon had been here, she would have stopped her even by hitting her once, but...
‘So she has this side to her too.’
Jungwoo just quietly watched Seoyeon rowing excitedly with eyes of wonder.
He thought she had a calm personality, but she secretly had a competitive spirit, too.
Especially, it was visible that she liked being praised by others.
‘When I first saw Miss Seoyeon, she looked really prickly.’
‘She does everything so earnestly, unlike kids nowadays.’
Anyway, such an appearance of Seoyeon shone as a very positive image to the cast.
Since the young actress was trying hard at everything, it was natural that she looked adorable.
So whatever Seoyeon did, everyone applauded enthusiastically, and because of that, an infinite positive spiral began to operate.
And.
“Wow, isn’t it hard to row?”
“Miss Seoyeon, your stamina is extraordinary. Seriously.”
The staff watching that clicked their tongues in amazement.
It wasn’t even a boat, but a raft.
Of course, the current wasn’t strong, but it was quite a strenuous task for a woman to row.
“And somehow, it makes for a great visual, doesn’t it?”
“Ahem, even so, you shouldn’t recklessly push this. If you recklessly promote this stuff, you’ll be beaten to death by Actor Park’s fans.”
Riding in another boat, PD Shin brought up such words.
Of course, this side was not a raft, but a proper motorboat.
‘Anyway.’
From PD Shin’s standpoint, it was unexpected.
He never expected Seoyeon to have a constitution so suited for the wild.
Jung Daehyun might not have known, but the cameraman currently filming Seoyeon was filming only Seoyeon as if possessed.
Because she was doing actions that were far from ordinary.
‘I simply thought of this as for promotion, but...’
It’s quite good?
Especially, the actress Joo Seoyeon was the Lotus Princess to the public.
In other words, she had a strong image of being calm and haughty.
In particular.
‘They strangely care about Actress Joo Seoyeon’s image.’
Nova Enter was like that, and Seoyeon’s manager also gave off such a vibe.
Image.
But the image of the Lotus Princess wasn’t bad.
It felt like they were considering the creation of some negative image.
“Seoyeon, with this variety show, promotion is promotion, but as bright an image as possible. You know?”
“Yes.”
Since Seoyeon’s manager had also followed Seoyeon, PD Shin happened to overhear such a conversation.
‘Bright image?’
The image of the Lotus Princess alone should be a bright enough image.
‘Perhaps in
PD Shin was also a person who had worked in the industry for a long time.
Naturally, he was quick to catch on.
‘There’s something.’
He should subtly ask later.
Such a thought occurred to him.
“Director Min. Please show Miss Seoyeon on camera frequently.”
“Yes? Not Actor Park Heejoon?”
Among the guests, as for who should be shown more on camera, it should naturally be the lead, Park Heejoon.
But, PD Shin nodded.
“Yes. At least so it can be half and half.”
“Um, I understand.”
Anyway, Seoyeon was quite a fun girl to watch, so there was no harm in filming her.
‘I wish that stamina of hers continues.’
PD Shin thought while watching Seoyeon rowing excitedly.
“Ah, the oar broke.”
“Huh?”
Seoyeon held up the broken oar.
And the raft drifted a little further away.
Thus, it inevitably took quite a long time to return.
***
Usually, the most painful thing for those who appeared on
First of all, the climate was different.
It was humid, and with bugs flying around, most people ended up tossing and turning.
Seoyeon also knew that fact, so she said to Jungwoo in an anxious tone.
“This is my first time sleeping outdoors, so I’m worried.”
“Bugs are the problem. Still, you have to force yourself to sleep even...”
Jungwoo was saying that, then suddenly turned his head.
Seoyeon’s head was tilted to the side.
“...Zzz.”
“...”
I thought you said you couldn’t sleep.
Anyway, having slept well like that, Seoyeon literally flew around in
The cast members, who at first only clapped, began to slowly feel something was strange at that point.
‘Why doesn’t she get tired?’
2 nights and 3 days.
It was certainly a short schedule, but if it was the first outdoor shoot, one was bound to be exhausted.
But, she hunted.
Rode a raft. Climbed trees.
Anyway, during all that, Seoyeon ran around without resting.
At one point, the cameraman was too exhausted to chase after her.
‘Won’t this be suspected when it broadcasts?’
That’s how much PD Shin inadvertently thought so.
Park Heejoon, a former Special Forces soldier, was also extraordinary.
He was literally at a level where he could survive on his own even if thrown alone on an uninhabited island.
But this guy was a former Special Forces soldier.
Seoyeon was an ordinary high school girl.
To say that an ordinary high school girl and a Special Forces soldier were similar.
‘What kind of movie is
Those who watched Seoyeon generally had similar thoughts.
But if you asked if she did everything well, that wasn’t the case either.
“Don’t cook.”
“Why?”
“Just don’t.”
Jungwoo said while eating the coconut dish Seoyeon made.
Roughly, it seemed she made it by referring to something with crayfish caught on the uninhabited island.
‘The seasoning, is this right?’
First of all, Park Jungwoo did eat it all.
Seoyeon couldn’t cook.
That said, it wasn’t that she dramatically couldn’t cook.
‘Even if you season roughly, there’s a limit.’
It was like a dish roughly made by a slovenly guy rolling around in a bachelor pad.
Just put about this much salt, and if I do this and this, it’ll become a dish, right?
A dish full of such complacent thoughts!
“I will do all the cooking.”
Eventually, Jungwoo rolled up his sleeves and stepped up.
He didn’t know about other things, but cooking roughly was unacceptable.
“Miss Seoyeon, leave him be. Actor Park filmed a drama where he played a genius chef before...”
They said he lived immersed in cooking at that time.
At PD Shin’s words, Seoyeon nodded while looking at Jungwoo, whose knife skills were extraordinary from the start.
‘I’m not the only one who immerses myself in a role.’
Park Jungwoo doesn’t use method acting, immersing himself extremely into his role like Seoyeon.
He was an honor student, and focused on researching and interpreting the role as much as possible.
Technically, he was already in a perfected state.
Therefore, Park Jungwoo’s acting was always smart and professional.
Cooking must have been a part of that as well.
‘Even though he picks a fight over every little thing.’
Still, she thought it was admirable that he was serious about acting.
Come to think of it.
‘Ah.’
Seoyeon suddenly thought of it while looking at Jungwoo like that.
‘Dream Future.’
Because the male actor for the role in that Dream Future was Park Jungwoo.
“What, why are you looking at me like that?”
At that time, Jungwoo, who had put the food on a plastic plate obtained from the expedition, approached.
“Senior.”
“Why.”
“When is the Dream Future audition?”
At the words Dream Future, Jungwoo’s eyes narrowed.
How does she know about that again?
‘Does she know someone who’s close with the production team?’
This was also one of the dramas KMB was paying attention to.
It wasn’t that a lot of investment went into it, but it was a challenging drama in various ways.
“In a month. But you’re already filming a movie, right?”
“I’ve filmed all my parts.”
“Ah, so that’s why you came out for promotion.”
Jungwoo said that, then stopped talking for a moment.
And, he glanced at Seoyeon.
Her expression was always expressionless, making it hard to know what her intention was in asking.
“Why, do you want to come out too?”
“Yes.”
“...”
At Seoyeon’s words, Jungwoo lost his words for a moment.
Because Park Jungwoo was the main male protagonist of that Dream Future.
Dream Future featured several young actors, and each had a coupling.
But the one with the greatest weight among them was the role of ‘Kim Sihwan’ played by Park Jungwoo, and...
The role of ‘Song Soha’, who would be his coupling.
‘Don’t tell me, she’s aiming for the role of Song Soha?’
Park Jungwoo swallowed dry saliva without realizing.
They had already acted together during the Lotus Princess, but she was still young then.
Doing romance acting with the grown-up Seoyeon... was something Park Jungwoo hadn’t even thought of.
‘In a month. I’m worried about what the competition rate for the role of Jo Harin will be.’
Of course, what Seoyeon was aiming for was not the role of Song Soha, who would be coupled with Park Jungwoo.
It was strictly the role of Jo Harin, whose weight in the work was neither too big nor too small.
She was a secretly likable and cute character, so she gained great popularity compared to her weight in the story.
It was a character with the exact opposite vibe to the role of Cha Seoa, which Seoyeon was currently playing in
If Cha Seoa was a character who couldn’t properly feel emotions.
Jo Harin was the exact opposite of that.
Because character-wise, she was a character who felt emotions twice as intensely as others.
A person with excellent sensibility, lively and cute.
Honestly, Seoyeon was a bit lacking in confidence.
Having the opposite character trait to Cha Seoa.
Because that equally applied to Seoyeon herself.
‘Still.’
It was a role Seoyeon definitely wanted to try.
Initially, she made up her mind to keep the 400 million won she received from the commercial, but as an actress... it was a path she must naturally go through.
She couldn’t always insist on one type of character.
She shouldn’t only do the acting she could do.
She had to be able to give variations.
This was an essential ability for an actor.
‘The competition for the role of Song Soha will be fierce...’
‘The role of Jo Harin will be a bit more relaxed, right?’
As those two thoughts crossed each other, the second day came to a close.
***
“Great job, everyone. We’re finally in Korea.”
2 nights and 3 days.
A time that could be considered long or short.
‘This will get quite popular when it airs.’
PD Shin thought.
Honestly, when they first said they wanted to promote the movie on
But now it was different.
Let alone the first day, the second and third days.
Because the appearance Seoyeon showed in the missions was very impressive.
‘In particular.’
Seoyeon’s neat, white skin was visible.
Clear and white skin that didn’t tan at all despite being in the blazing sun for 2 nights and 3 days!
‘She said she filmed a cosmetics commercial.’
Even Bang Hayun seemed amazed by Seoyeon’s skin, and a scene was captured where she asked what cosmetics she used.
Of course, she didn’t say the brand for broadcast purposes and just smiled.
‘When this goes on air, the story will be different.’
It was obvious that it would become the center of attention one way or another.
On top of that, one more thing.
The camera was still catching Park Jungwoo and Seoyeon.
Because they had gotten entangled in many things one way or another, they were keeping an eye on them until the end.
The filming wasn’t over yet.
“Are you going straight back?”
“Yes. I have work again.”
“Work?”
Jungwoo felt puzzled.
What kind of work does this kid always have?
At Jungwoo’s question asking out of curiosity, Seoyeon gave a rare, pleasant smile.
“Yes, because today is my birthday.”
“...”
At Seoyeon’s words, Jungwoo had no choice but to freeze on the spot.
