“Ugh! I’m nervous.”
Seo Ji-eun repeatedly clenched and opened her palms.
Looking at Seo Ji-eun like that, Yeon-woo nodded.
“Yeah, it’s a little tense.”
“Ugh, Yeonwoo, who wasn’t nervous even in Berlin.
It was interesting as Yeonwoo felt the tension inside.
This feeling was unfamiliar to me because I lived through so many things to be nervous about something.
“Maybe it’s because it’s not my main field.”
Yeon-woo is a tone-deaf person who doesn’t even go to karaoke, let alone on stage, but it was natural to be a little nervous when he suddenly rehearsed for a music show.
“I’ll go up on the stage of the Jainari team.”
“yes!”
After hearing the voices of the on-site staff, Yeonwoo and Seo Ji-eun went up to the stage.
wow!
There were more people than expected in the audience.
‘Well? Have the fans already entered?’
I heard that the main stage was pretty late, so I was only filming in the afternoon, but after hearing unexpected cheers, Yeonwoo looked at the audience.
‘Ah, these are the singers on stage today.’
Even though they are idols who go to and from broadcasting stations as if they were their own home, they did not have a chance to see actor Ryu Yeon-woo, so everyone came out to watch.
When Yeon-woo stepped onto the stage with a large name tag with “Jay Inari – Jay” written on her chest, the audience roared.
“Wow, look at your sister’s face. You’re from another world…?”
“It’s also different to learn.”
Then, Dojun, a member of Xyz, who was equally admired from behind, intervened.
“Because I go to the same shop with actor Ryu Yeon-woo?”
“Director Jung Ha-neul?”
“Yeah. But even among the actors, he was famous for his excellent looks.”
At Dojun’s words, the idols sitting in the front row nodded their heads.
“It seems so.”
“After the rehearsal, I’m going to pick up the album and go say hello.”
“Huh! I want to go too!”
At that time, Nboyz’s ‘Jaeyoon’, who sat with his legs crossed and looked at him with a blank face, frowned.
“By the way, wouldn’t it be possible to drive it up to the music show rankings?
“Hyung. Aren’t FNX seniors doing first place anyway?”
Jaeyoon glared at Dojoon from Xyz next to him.
“Is it almost ice-cold?”
Dojoon tilted his head and spoke to himself.
“Hmm, was it? The total score seems to have almost doubled anyway…”
Jaeyoon saw Dojoon muttering and was about to say something, but feeling the attention of the girl groups sitting around him, he closed his mouth with a dissatisfied face.
“Damn, the songs are just like Seo Ji-eun anyway, so why are you crawling out and making a fuss? It’s not your face, you’re probably just pretending to play.
When Jaeyoon’s mouth was full and he was muttering, after the inspection of the stage was over, a voice came through the speaker.
– hello. This is Jay from “Jinari”.
– This is Nari! Take good care of me!
Yeon-woo tilted his head slightly as he greeted the microphone in front of him.
‘Aren’t you supposed to say that the concept of Jay in the movie is not fluent in Korean on purpose?’
The intro of the song came out while I was thinking about the wrong thing.
Looking at it, Jaeyoon smiled with an expression of ‘That’s right’.
“Why are you on stage while playing MR anyway?”
Then Yeonwoo started playing the guitar over the background music.
The guitar melody resounds through the microphone installed in front of the guitar in time with the music coming through the in-ears.
“Wow, sister, Yeonwoo, oppa, are you really playing right now?”
“When did I see you oppa? You must be younger than me?”
“Well, if you’re handsome, you’re my brother.”
Then, as Seo Ji-eun’s voice merged, the harmony became a beautiful melody and filled the public hall.
“Hey, you sing well.”
“Would you have been a trainee too? I heard that Lena unnie was in the same agency before debut.”
Singers watching from the audience shared their opinions with each other.
Originally, rookies debut every week, but most of them know each other while they are trainees anyway.
However, today’s stage of ‘Jinari’, a combination of two actors, was a fresh fun for activities like a treadmill.
Besides, it’s ‘Ryu Yeon-woo’.
I didn’t have time to watch dramas or movies because of my busy activities, but it was hard not to know Ryu Yeon-woo in Korea right now.
He debuted as an adult in high school, became a hit in the drama, and his next work, “Master Plan,” mobilized a whopping 10 million viewers. He’s not Jordan, he’s the main character.
And after recording high ratings in the historical drama that followed, the next film won the top prize at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Lena, who was searching for Ryu Yeon-woo through the Plant Wiki on her smartphone, was blown away by the filmography that was even greater than she had thought.
“It’s absurd to see it all put together like this. You became an A-class actor in just three years after debuting…”
“Yeonwoo oppa? It’s S-class, not A-class.”
“Are you younger than me?”
“Well, if you’re handsome, you’re an older brother?”
At that time, Yeon-woo started to tap the side body of the guitar in time with the beat.
At the end of the first chorus of the song and the part where the interlude is played, Yeon-woo puts down the guitar and stands up from the chair and grabs the violin lying on the floor.
‘Well, it’s uncomfortable because the in-ear wire is caught on the shoulder rest of the violin.’
Eventually, he took off his left in-ear and put the violin on his shoulder and started playing.
wow!
The sound of shouts from the audience naturally exploded as the violin solo came out.
Seo Ji-eun watched Yeon-woo’s performance and shook her head to catch the timing to enter.
“Damn it! Taking off your in-ears and holding a violin is fucking sexy.”
“Hey! Sojin Lee. Do you mean not to use profanity?”
“Oh, but how do you react when you see that? Like a machine, ‘Wow, that’s great.’ You can’t do it.”
At that time, Yeon-woo quickly moved the bow and began to perform proficiency.
That part that Chrissy Monroe said could be difficult.
It was never easy, she said.
Everyone else thinks he is a versatile and perfect person, but from his past life to the present, he wasn’t particularly talented in any field.
If it was something I had to do, I would take time with poison and try and try again and again.
Yeon-woo performs perfectly because he practiced until he could not do it diligently for several days.
“…that’s fucking sexy. It’s spinning.”
“Sister! Don’t use profanity!”
“I think you’re right. This should be frankly slang.”
After that, the song reached its climax with Seo Ji-eun’s neat vocals, and the rehearsal stage soon ended.
“Thank you. It was “Jinari”.”
When I came down after saying hello, manager Kim Min-soo, who was looking at the monitor installed behind the stage, applauded.
“The actors, it was so cool. It’s great.”
“Thank you. Minsu-hyung.”
“Especially, taking the in-ears out of your ears right before you play the violin is the best part.”
“Hmm, right…? It was just removed because it was uncomfortable. Then it would be nice to do it on stage as a performance of my own.”
At that time, the eyes of the staff who took off the microphone and the in-ears Yeonwoo was wearing widened.
“Huh? Are you hurt?”
There was blood on the tips of quite a few of Yeonwoo’s ten fingers, regardless of the left and right.
Even on his right hand, drops of blood dripped onto the floor, drop by drop.
“Oh, that’s fine.”
Yeonwoo smiled and put her hands in her pockets as if nothing had happened.
Then manager Kim Min-soo approached and grabbed Yeon-woo’s arm and pulled it out of his pocket.
“… Actor?”
On the hand he took out, most of the fingers had blisters and bleed repeatedly until they burst, and there were a lot of band-aids on his right hand.
The left hand is in better condition than the right, so it’s not that the bandage isn’t attached.
Rather, the condition of the fingers of the left hand was worse. I just couldn’t put a band-aid on it because I had to hold the strings.
The only clean thing among them was the thumb without the string.
Kim Min-soo’s eyes demanding an explanation for the amazing state of his fingers.
Yeonwoo laughed softly.
“The arrangement was too difficult for me to digest. I guess I didn’t learn the violin seriously…”
Seo Ji-eun already saw Yeon-woo’s fingers and tears welled up in her eyes.
“Then why do you receive new arrangements through the company?”
“Ah, your fingers will heal in a week. If you perform just one gig today, you’re going to retire right away?”
Seeing Yeon-woo laughing and joking around, Min-su Kim shook his head.
Actor Ryu Yeon-woo, played by Min-su Kim, is always like this.
If nothing works, try until it works.
If the target was himself, he would never back down, and he did not know that it was a compromise.
Kim Min-soo looked at Yeon-woo and remembered the proverb, ‘A rolling stone gathers no moss’.
Ever since I first took charge of him, he’s been rolling really non-stop.
And, not only did the moss not gather, but the stone Yeonwoo rolled grew bigger and bigger.
Perhaps, now that I think about it, from the day we first met, the thing that actor Ryu Yeon-woo has been rolling is not a stone but a snowball.
And the snowball grew bigger and bigger, becoming a self-proclaimed blue chip from a high school boy.
Kim Min-soo had a clear feeling for an actor who was much younger than him, and his actor ‘Ryu Yeon-woo’.
It wasn’t something that suddenly came to my mind when I saw the blood dripping from my finger.
These are thoughts that have gradually accumulated over the past few years as his manager.
like a snowball.
Kim Min-su bows his head and greets Yeon-woo in order to faithfully express his thoughts.
“I respect the actor.”
“Yes? Suddenly?”
Although he was embarrassed by the sudden greeting, Yeon-woo looked at Kim Min-soo’s eyes and nodded.
“Thank you. Minsu-hyung.”
There was no need for the public to recognize Yeonwoo’s hard work.
Everyone just does what they have to do in their place.
The job of being a celebrity is a job that shows the finished image in the first place.
However, if someone recognizes the hard work, it will be a little comfort, so Yeon-woo expresses her thanks.
Soon, Yeon-woo and Seo Ji-eun were escorted to the waiting room, and Kim Min-soo went out to supervise the members of the fan cafe who won the public hearing, and team leader Jeong-hyuk decided to take care of it.
I stopped by the infirmary installed in the broadcasting station and brought everything that might be helpful, but in the end I had to perform one more time on the main stage, so I was not sure how to handle it.
“Hey, it’s really good. Just sit back and relax.”
“Oh, my fingers are tingling just looking at it.”
I just laughed when I saw Team Leader Jeong-hyeok and Seo Ji-eun rolling their feet because the weight of the years of life was too heavy to make a fuss about Yeon-woo’s bleeding from his fingers.
While I was wasting my time in the waiting room to wait for the idol teams who were going to pre-record, someone knocked and carefully opened the door.
At first, I thought Manager Kim Min-soo had returned from work, but several men rushed in to say hello.
“Hello! Greetings. We are EXIS.”
Yeonwoo and Seo Ji-eun abruptly got up from the sudden appearance of the boy group.
Team leader Jeong Hyuk, who was touching his smartphone in the corner, hurriedly picked up the camera he brought to take the making film.
“Hello. Nice to meet you. This is Ryu Yeon-woo.”
When Yeon-woo nodded, Seo Ji-eun, who was next to him, also bowed her head.
“It’s Seo Ji-eun!”
Seeing these two, Dojun, the leader of them, came out and released an album.
“This is our album. I came here to deliver and say hello to the two of you. I really enjoyed “Stars Beyond the Garm” where they appeared! I watched the show at the dorm.”
“Ah, thank you. We are rookies who are debuting today, so we should have gone to say hello first, but I’m sorry.”
Although I plan to retire at the same time as I debut today…
The members who knew that Yeonwoo was a joke laughed.
After that, some idols came to greet and hand over albums, and idol albums piled up on one side of the waiting room.
‘Hmm, where are you going to use this?’
I took out my smartphone and thought for a while before opening a family chat room.
– Sohyun-ah, do you like idols?
