107 – Change (5)
The closing ceremony of the Korea Youth Theater Festival will be held after the award ceremony.
In other words, today was also the day when the results of the tournament were announced.
First of all, it was an individual award.
Best Acting Award, Best Acting Award, Staff Award, Screenplay Award, etc.
The first award was the staff award.
A total of 3 people can receive the staff award, and the student who stands out the most in directing, sound, and lighting can receive it.
What… Unfortunately, the lighting section was taken by another student, but I and Han Yeo-jin proudly took the direction and sound section.
Perhaps the reason I was able to win the award was because of the directing of the reminiscence of the past and the present, but I think the song sung by Lee Da-hye and Seol So-young played a little bigger role.
In that sense, the reason Han Yeo-jin won the award must be the concept of connection. Because she was the one who wrote that song in the first place.
It is also unusual for a youth theater festival to use songs composed by students themselves. Even more, the quality is so good that people ask for an official release, so if Han Yeo-jin doesn’t win an award in the sound category, that would be a problem as it is.

The staff award was immediately followed by the scenario award.
A total of 4 people will be awarded the Scenario Award, but it didn’t seem like the rankings were just divided among them.
[Students Ye-Rin Kang, Ji-Min Kim, Eun-Woo Seo, Joo-Sung Hong, please come up to the podium.]
And just like the staff award, my name was called.
Honestly, it was roughly expected that I would receive these two awards, the staff award for directing and the screenplay award.
“Two crowns. Congratulations.”
It was then.
Someone talked to me on the way to the podium.
A familiar face and way of speaking.
It was Kang Ye-rin who was going to receive the best screenplay award just like me.
“Congratulations to the seniors too.”
“Hey! If it wasn’t for you, I would have received both the directing and screenplay awards. So, congratulations.”
Kang Ye-rin suddenly spits out those words and walks in the lead.
That’s right.
If I hadn’t participated in this theater festival, it would have been her who would have swept away all her prizes.
But just as there are no ifs in history, it is the same now.
Ah, for reference, Kang Ye-rin is shorter than I thought.
I think it’s roughly in the late 150’s.
As you can tell from the numbers, there is quite a height difference between me and me. That’s why, when she walks in front of me, all she sees is the top of her head.
So, as a consolation, I stroked her hair. Because she was giving off a lot of pitiful feelings.
“What, what are you doing?!”
“Didn’t you ask for comfort?”
“Absolutely not!”
“No, no. Her gait is slow, so I go first.”
With this feeling, I arrived at the podium first, but Kang Ye-rin, who was following me in a hurry, suddenly said this to me.
“But will you be okay?”
“What is it?”
“No, you just stroked my hair. I think I saw it all over there.”
See all over there?
I looked at her pointing with a puzzled look on her face……
“Ah.”
I couldn’t help but sigh.
Because, the seat Kang Ye-rin pointed at was originally the one I was sitting in.
To be precise, it was referring to Seol So-yeong and Lee Da-hye.
For this reason, I urgently called Kang Ye-rin.
“Senior. I’ll give you the staff award, so let’s make an agreement.”
“What agreement?”
“That senpai was forcibly manipulating my hand earlier.”
“I hate it. Why should I help you with your girl problems?”
Write…….
I don’t have affection.
Still, I thought we became close.
On the other hand, how would you respond if she made an offer she could never refuse?
“Then I’ll graduate my bread shuttle.”
“I hate that more.”
“…… ?”
It was an immediate answer.
I hate it even more.
At first, it was clear from the look on his face that he didn’t want to do it, but in just a few days, what kind of change of heart did he have?
Anyway, the awards for the best screenplay progressed quickly, and the next award category was the best acting award and the best acting award.
Here, 10 people will receive the Excellent Acting Award and 3 people will receive the Best Acting Award.
In addition, for diversity and fairness, it seemed that there was an implicit limit to one person for the best acting award and one person for the best acting award per team.
So, originally, a maximum of two people per team could receive the award.
But.
[Park Ha-Jun, Lee Da-Hye, Seol So-Young, please come up to the podium.]
The moment the names of only those three people are called, there is probably no one who doesn’t know what kind of award they will receive.
Three spots for the best acting award.
It may be a harsh result for some, but all three seats were occupied by three main characters of dreaming children.
I can’t help but admit it at the same time. The acting skills they showed in the youth competition.
The association in charge of reviewing this case must have suffered quite a bit.
The Korean Youth Theater Festival has grown in scale with the addition of a new method called live broadcasting. It would have benefited from the interest of many people in the competition, but at the same time, it was clear that the voice of criticism would grow louder the moment a wrong judgment was made.
Especially, it was obvious how public opinion would flow if the best actor award was not given to those three people who gave a big impact with their acting alone in this competition.
In the first place, our three main actors have a history of winning awards at the most prestigious award ceremony, Cheongsang Arts Awards, which is incomparable to this Youth Theater Festival.
On the contrary, it means that it is strange not to receive an award in a youth competition.
I’m sorry that I unintentionally took education…… It would be easier for other teams to think of it as a natural disaster.
[Lastly, there will be a group award.]
And finally, it was the turn of the group awards.
Starting with the highest grand prize, there are gold, silver, and bronze awards, and only one award per team can be awarded.
I heard that the theater department Kang Ye-rin belongs to last year won the gold prize.
So this time, I sharpened my sword and participated in the competition in order to win the grand prize, and as a result, I showed off a great work. But this time, I wondered if we would end up with a gold award because of us.
[The gold prize goes to Hanbit Arts High School’s Theater department’s ‘Even if it’s not perfect!]
At that time, the theater department stood in front of the stage as a group with numerous applause.
How come my expectations are not wrong…….
[Next, the name of the target will be called.]
And then the name of the target immediately followed.
Maybe after that, we’ll go straight to the closing ceremony.
In a way, it was a sound that signaled the end of the Daehan Youth Theater Festival, which was short and long.
[Target is…… !]
Soon, the presenter started calling the target slowly.
It was a moment when there was not really tension when something was announced.
The second most talked about performance, ‘Even if it’s not perfect’, won the gold prize, so of course the grand prize……
[These are the ‘dreaming children’ of the theater and film department of Hanbit Arts High School!]
It must be us.
I think I should have a talk with Park Ha-joon later.
Let’s refrain from participating in the Korea Youth Theater Festival next year, at least for the sake of the young theater talents who are growing up.
***
The schedule of the Korea Youth Theater Festival is over, and the hot July has arrived.
Now, the final exams are over, and it is safe to say that there are virtually no upcoming schedules until the vacation ceremony at the end of July.
In other words, compared to a month ago, it means that you are filthy free.
On the other hand, last weekend, Go Quiz, in which we appeared as guests, was aired.
“Hey, Eunwoo Seo. Did you see the video?”
“What video?”
“The edited version of our appearance in Go Quiz was uploaded on You Tube. The number of views right now is no joke.”
I nodded my head at Cha Mu-sik’s question.
Of course I saw it. I couldn’t help but click it because it was on You Tube in a rapidly growing video.
“Thanks to that, I feel like I became a celebrity.”
“Ignorant. Don’t you know that you skip all the scenes where you are asked questions anyway?”
“Oh, are you T? Just empathize Well, what would a guy who can’t even manage his facial expression properly know that he’s happy to be in between Seol So-yeong and Lee Da-hye?”
“That’s because you forcibly gave up your seat, isn’t it?”
“So was it bad? Answer.”
I cleared my throat once and averted my gaze from him.
I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t good, but…….
At the same time as during the closing ceremony of the theater festival, it seems like there have been a lot of such compositions lately, so my head hurts a little.
“What are you so worried about?”
Suddenly, Cha Moo-sik started spitting out nonsensical words toward me.
“There is no such thing as worry. Okay, let’s go quickly to prepare for our major classes.”
“Just by looking at her expression, what is a woman’s problem? It is also a situation where Seol So-yeong and Lee Da-hye are holding beautiful flowers in their hands.”
He shrugged her shoulders as if he was envious.
But.
“That makes no sense.”
“…… What are you talking about?”
“The fact that you are thinking about such a problem is itself, my dear.”
The more I talk to Moo-Sik Cha today, the more questions arise.
Yes. If it was the usual tea ceremony……
If you were a few months ago, you should have reacted like a lucky bastard or a bastard who saved the country in a previous life like the reaction in the comment window to be normal.
However, he tells me with a nuance as if Seol So-yeong and Lee Da-hye are twisted, as if it were natural.

Then why?
At that time, Moo-sik Cha saw my expression full of doubts.
“Because…… “
For some reason, the guy smiled and opened his mouth slowly.
“Seo Eun-woo, you are the author of 927.”
