262 – The main character doesn’t hide his power
I don’t have stage fright, but I feel my heart pounding.
But unlike the confused head, the legs were moving forward calmly- no, eagerly.
Soon after climbing all the low stairs, a circular door connected directly to the studio opens to the left and right.
Push Yi Yi Profit!
The moment I showed up with the familiar special direction, the actors who were sitting on the sofa got up all at once.
“Eh!”
“Lies!”
“It’s real!”
Japanese entertainment style reactions as if drawn in a painting.
But honestly, from my point of view as a first-time broadcaster, I was more than happy to even respond like that.
When I appeared on stage, I would have been hurt if the reaction was “Who is that?”
As I walked slowly toward the center of the studio, the stage MC from Genin approached and handed me an extra mic.
“Please introduce yourself first.”
“Oh, yes.”
When I was handed the microphone, I tried my best not to show nervousness as much as possible and opened my mouth.
“That… My name is Yuseong Kim, a Korean who is famous for ripping out The Blue comics on You Tube.”
After I said that, I bowed my head and applause from the actors poured over my head.
“Kim-kun, you have a great voice. Do you usually go to a voice acting academy?”
“Yes? No, this is my normal voice.”
“Really?! I thought I was at a dubbing site for a foreign film!”
Then laughter erupted from all directions.
In the first meeting, I didn’t know that I would be praised with my voice, so I laughed awkwardly and scratched my cheek, and while conducting all kinds of broadcasts, the stage MC winked so that only I could see it, and took the initiative to lead me to the prepared seat. .
Thanks to that, I felt a little less nervous, so I sat down at the prepared seat as the MC guided me.
Then, without a chance to catch your breath, the table talk begins.
“Yeah~ When I first saw Kim in a drama, I thought he was completely ripped out of a cartoon. Maybe it’s because his whole body is muscular, but the feeling of intimidation he exudes is no joke. What kind of side is he usually at school? After all, he’s the scary one?”
It was a somewhat expected question, so I answered with a wry smile.
“No, it’s because I’m an honor student contrary to appearances. This semester, I ranked first in the whole school.”
“Oh! First place in the entire school. Unlike Kim, you seem to have a lot of brains.”
“I hear that kind of thing a lot. It’s because it looks like this.”
As I said that and made a self-inflicted gag, I heard laughter from the seat next to me.
Anyway, because it is a broadcast without a separate audience, the reaction of the actors who play the role of the audience is Hyeja.
“Then, since you’re here as a special guest, can I ask you something I’ve been curious about for a long time?”
“Yes. It’s fine.”
After I readily agreed, the stage MC held up a cue card and asked a question as if he had waited.
“From what I’ve heard beforehand, you don’t seem to be an aspiring actor. What made you suddenly appear in The Blue?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
I was about to answer, but I glanced at Nao.
Because to solve this story, her name has to come out unconditionally.
Then Nao suddenly took her microphone and opened her mouth.
“I think I can answer that part for you.”
“Huh? I asked Kim, but Minato-san suddenly came out instead?”
“Yes. I was the one who recommended senior Yooseong to the director in the first place.”
Saying that, Nao sticks out her chest as if proud of her achievements.
The actors sitting around stared at Nao as if they couldn’t stop it.
Anyway, it seems to lead to the feeling of the standard of My Pace from the entertainment industry.
Anyway, I continued the explanation without paying attention to the warm stares of the others.
“Originally, there was an actor who was supposed to be the leader of the bully, but when I read the original manga, I remembered that there was someone very similar to me at my school. So I went to the director that day and recommended a senior. He showed me a picture. Fortunately, the director also gave OK.”
“Uh…in many ways it was reckless.”
“I’m usually like that.”
“It’s not a compliment!”
Excellent bokeh and tsukkomi.
Perhaps thanks to being an actor since childhood, Nao seemed quite familiar with Japanese entertainment.
After Nao’s explanation, this time the director took over the baton and spoke about his feelings.
“To be honest, when I first saw Kim’s picture, I thought, ‘This is it! I think it was the best choice I’ve ever made.”
This is truly a compliment.
To be able to pour out compliments like this in front of the person concerned is to the point of admiration in a sense for that shamelessness.
After the two explained, the stage MC sitting next to me asked me to confirm.
“Yes, but what do you think?”
“Yes? Uh… everything is true, so there is no place to add corrections.”
“Since the person concerned is like that, let’s assume that it is. Then the second door!”
Is this how it goes?
I wanted to ask why I asked the question if I was going to pass over it like roasting beans over lightning, but I held back because there were many eyes around me.
“I hear that he is the disciple of Mr. Kotaro Fuma, who is famous for being the only one to defeat Ivan of Russia in the international GOF tournament. Is that true?”
In a way, it was an expected question.
Even if it’s not The Blue’s business, all sorts of magazines and broadcasting stations have been sending love calls about this.
Rather, I didn’t know that such people would bother me less afterward if I made a public declaration here.
With that in mind, I proudly revealed the truth.
“It is true that I am Kotaro Fuma’s disciple. But I’m not to the point of calling him a disciple. That’s a title given to me by the old man.”
Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, the PD and broadcasting staff can be seen buzzing outside the stage.
However, a professional MC must have been a professional MC, and even in such a confusing situation, he handled my story well.
“Ohhh…You’re determined. But seeing that you didn’t completely deny that you were a disciple, you mean you learned something from Fuma-san?”
“Yes.”
“Then, as the saying goes, a thousand words is worth a thousand words, so how about demonstrating that ability to others?”
“Yeah? What is that…”
Since it was not in the script that I was familiar with in advance, I looked at it in confusion, and the MC nodded with a benevolent smile as if he knew everything.
“So we’ve prepared this! A set of fruits to test the grip of Kim, who is not only a comic stripper from The Blue, but also a student of Kotaro Fuma, a famous fighter!”
“Quaaa!”
Nao, who had been quiet until now, suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers and applause.
Perhaps they were surprised by that gap, the actors around them looked at them with surprised expressions, but Nao didn’t care.
‘That guy….’
No matter how severe the muscle fetish is, don’t you like it too much?
While looking at Nao and thinking about something else for a while, fruits for testing were set up on the stage.
Perhaps the production crew had been thinking of asking me to do a simple power show for the sake of ratings from the beginning.
‘I’ll at least say something in advance.’
To be honest, did you think I wouldn’t do it?
“Split an apple lengthwise, is it possible?”
While saying that, what the MC pointed at me was a red, ripe apple.
This is a common item seen on TV.
It’s usually a prop that guests use to show off their strength, but I never thought I’d be using it today.
Anyway, everyone was looking at me with eyes mixed with anticipation, but I couldn’t betray that expectation, so I broke through the first step, splitting the apple, at once.
Jap!
An apple neatly split left and right as it was originally.
“Ohhhhh!”
At first, everyone starts with this, but splitting an apple with bare hands is still a strange thing to see.
“I expected the apple to split easily, so let’s move on to step two.”
While I was in the midst of handing out 8-piece apples to the actors right next to me, I grabbed the second fruit without even having time to catch my breath because of the annoyance of the MCs and broadcasting staff.
This time, it is watermelon, a fruit famous for its hard outer skin.
“You mean to split this with your bare hands?”
“That’s right.”
I wanted to ask if the MC was sane as he nodded as if it were natural, but a bird that had already left would not come back.
I had been thinking about how to split a watermelon so that I could hear the sound of splitting it well, but I finally made up my mind and went to work.
First, hold each end of the watermelon with both hands.
Then he stuck his fingers into the shell to keep his hand from slipping and pulled it left and right.
Crispy!
Then, the watermelon naturally splits in half, like strong cheese at a convenience store.
People around me who watched my challenge with bated breath muttered in shock.
“This works.”
I couldn’t express it in words, but I’m thinking the same thing right now.
‘This is how it works.’
