125 – Public Enemies (11)
1.
“Okay, I’ll take a picture.”
“Yes, yep! Come in!”
When Kang Jin-hyeok started filming Yoo Ji-woo, those who remained in the atmosphere of a full-scale shooting that they felt for the first time left the practice room so as not to interfere.
Leaving only the two of them behind, the members left the practice room and parted ways, and Yoo Ji-yeon huddled together in front of the door, the only window connecting the inside and outside of the practice room, to watch the filming.
“A one-on-one shoot with the manager. Aren’t there a lot of people in the original video shoot?”
“Because there are no people in our company. Even the people who made up for the number of heads were cut off.”
“Well, thanks to that, I can go around comfortably. You are also the manager.”
“Oh, Jinhyeok oppa is talking to Jiwoo unni. What instructions are you giving me?”
The entire practice room is soundproofed, so people outside the practice room could not hear what kind of conversation they were having inside.
People naturally have the most curiosity when their senses are blocked.
Curiosity naturally arose from those who could not hear what they wanted to hear, and the biggest curiosity among them came out of Hara Hara’s mouth.
“But there is. My brother is obviously a trustworthy person, but will he be good at filming too? Video shooting is a bit of a professional field after all.”
Even though each member’s level of curiosity is different, it was clear that all the members had it, but it seemed like he was saying that his trust in Kang Jin-hyuk was too low to bring it out.
The target I listened to was, of course, the breakup who had spent the longest time with Kang Jin-hyuk and knew the most about him.
Lee Byeol glanced at those who looked at her with her eyes.
“hehehehe, you really don’t know anything about your brother? You.”
Then he smiled proudly and opened his mouth as if he couldn’t help it.
“Have you all seen my street live video before my debut?”
Street live video of Superstar Nova before her debut.
Her initial determination provided a strong foundation for Nova, who was just a new singer who had just debuted.
A question mark appeared above the heads of everyone listening to the story, even though it was taken before the debut, that is, during the amateur days, when the composition and movement of the camera made the most of the charm of Nova, the subject of the legendary video.
“The filming technique for each video was unprecedented, and the level of difficulty was so high that it was almost impossible to reproduce even the smallest of the filming techniques contained in it, which aroused admiration not only for amateur direct cammers but also for professional cinematographers. Are you talking about that legendary video?!”
Among those who thought of a question mark above their heads, Nauri, who was a huge fan of her to the point of using Byul as her role model, added an explanation about the video with her eyes shining.
At Nauri’s explanation, which reveals her virtuous heart to the point of feeling hot, Byeol gave her a satisfied smile and nodded her head slightly.
“Yes, you are talking about that legendary video.”
“I’ve seen Nova’s street live video before their debut. That was really exciting.”
“I-I’ve seen it too! I saw that and asked my father to take a picture of it, but it didn’t work!”
“Right. That video, the Japanese idol version, was so amazing that I couldn’t stop admiring it. Needless to say, the Yukino family also inquired about the cinematographer who shot the video.”
“Huh.”
At the rave reviews of the other members except for Ha An, Byeol let out a pleasant snort as if she had been praised.
“Yeah, to my eyes, which is probably the most watched video in the world, it’s a really great video. It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s the video that made Nova what it is today with a little bit of exaggeration.”
Rapid praise for Nova street live video that continues from the parting person himself.
No one who watched the video disagreed with what Byeol said, and Yoo Ji-yeon and the members, who were a bit ambiguous to add another impression here, nodded their heads.
“By the way, the manager asked if I could do well, but why are you talking about a video all of a sudden?”
However, Choi Ha-an, the only one among those present who did not watch Nova’s street live video before their debut, lit a candle in the atmosphere of empathy as always.
“I don’t know how great your street live footage was before your debut, but is that a necessary story in the current situation? It doesn’t seem to matter how great the videos you have shot in the past.”
There is only one reason why Ha-an Choi hit the candle.
It was because the breakup, which she considered herself a very strong rival, did not lead the atmosphere in an unpredictable direction by talking about things that did not fit the situation.
“Isn’t it better to think about how to help the manager in filming from now on rather than boasting like that?”
Therefore, Choi Ha-an is satisfied with herself that she has made a proposal that is more future-oriented than the breakup of her daughter Ina-chi in the past, and now decides to see what excuse she will use to get out of this ugly situation.
“Puch. This is why you can’t talk to a kid who doesn’t know anything about her brother.”
However, what she returned to Ha-an Choi was the laughable look in her eyes and the corners of her mouth that went up with pride.
“What?”
Choi Ha-an unconsciously asked herself at the attitude of the breakup, which was different from the expectation that she would make excuses out of embarrassment when she was told to stop hitting on her daughter in the past.
“Now, take a look.”
Then, instead of answering, a video playing on the phone screen of farewell was thrust in front of Ha-an Choi.
“Street live video before my debut, my roots. As expected of all the other kids besides you, the person who filmed it was my older brother.”
The secret that no one knew except for farewell, Kang Jin-hyeok, and the opposite s*x was revealed to the world today for the first time.
“So what I mean is, as long as you have your brother in charge, you don’t have to worry about anything, you just have to wait for your turn.”
The best solo singer and superstar Nova of her time, her live video on the street helped her to be where she is today.
“There is no way you guys, especially Choi Ha-an, can help my brother with the external aspects of this shoot. Just wait and relax. My brother will take care of the rest.”
The person who filmed the video was Kang Jin-hyeok.
“Of course, my brother went to prison before this video even came to light, so he doesn’t know that the video he filmed has such a ripple effect.”
In the voice of farewell, there was a bitterness that could not be hidden and a promise to never let that happen again.

“Uh… Mae, are you the manager? That. What are you doing now?”
It has been about 30 minutes since I said that I would shoot a video to introduce Jiwoo.
Almost like the closing lines of a movie trailer, Jiwoo cautiously asked if he could not stand the awkwardness anymore after he shouted out loud, strict, solemn, and serious about starting filming, but still hadn’t started filming.
A cute voice makes my heart tremble whenever I hear it, and the composition and plans for the filming that I had drawn in my head got messed up in an instant.
I opened my mouth and answered Jiwoo’s question for a better idea.
“I was thinking about how to capture all of Jiwoo’s many charms on camera.”
The only filming experience I’ve had was the clumsily filmed with a camcorder to record when Byeol performed live on the street in the past.
Once again, the slimy sense of self-doubt opened its mouth toward the now scarce self-esteem.
“That, that’s right…! It’s okay to think about it as much as you like! I thought that my manager oppa wouldn’t film because it was difficult to take pictures because he was ambiguous no matter how he took them, but I’m really glad that’s not the case.”
But at Jiwoo’s words following my answer, a strong sense of duty that could turn something like a sense of shame into something like that rang in my heart.
“No matter how you shoot, it’s ambiguous. You are the subject that can become a work of art no matter how you take it.”
Now I am a cinematographer, and as a cinematographer, my duty is to film so that viewers can feel the charm of Jiwoo the best.
And another one. To create an environment in which Jiwoo, the subject, does not lose confidence.
“Okay. Decided Follow me, I have a place to go.”
In that respect, the place where Jiwoo’s charm could be best expressed was not in a practice room like this.
“Oh, where are you going?”
I answered Jiwoo’s question with my finger pointing up.
“Mountain.”
