With a more true self
When I first participated in the awards ceremony, I only knew a few people who had done the same work, but now I know a lot of faces.
There were actors I met through Kwon Min-jae and Moon Chang-min’s introduction, people I met at the after-party, and entertainers I met at a drama promotional variety show.
“Jay, this is the first time since the ceremony party.”
“How you doing?”
Yoonjae greeted the people who greeted him with a smile. He was realizing that this side of the board was narrow. Not only the actors, but also the staff on set often saw familiar faces.
“Mr. Jay.”
“Writer.”
“I heard that you are filming a movie these days. Aren’t you going to keep doing movies?”
“The film is still my first work. I’m also watching the writer’s dramas well.”
“Are you watching?”
Writer Lim Hyeon-hee of ＜Along Along＞ did not miss this opportunity.
“I’ll send you the synopsis for my next film, so check it out after filming. It’s my original story…”
She did not give up her desire to use Yoon-Ji as the lead role, and Yoon-Ji gratefully accepted the offer.
Writer Lim Hyeon-hee was worried that Yoon-jae would settle down in the film world as it is, but Yoon-jae will not choose a movie or a drama if the scenario appeals to him.
“hello.”
“Ah yes. hello.”
At other awards ceremonies, seats were reserved for each work, but this time there were reserved seats. Yoonjae greeted the person next to him as he sat down in his seat.
“You must have been very nervous.”
“yes. Baeksan is my first time…”
“It’s my first time too.”
“Really?”
Only then did the other person turn his head and see Yunjae’s face, his eyes widening slightly. If you had been exposed to the media last year, there would be no one who would not know about Yoon J. It caused a syndrome at the same time as their debut.
“I’m Yunjae.”
“Ah, I…”
“Are you Kang Ha-joon? A nominee for Best Newcomer in Film.”
“yes.”
Kang Ha-joon seemed surprised that Yoon-jae knew his name. It was not difficult for Yunjae. I was bored on the way here, so I memorized all the performers.
“I enjoyed the movie. Please feel free to call me brother. You are two years younger than me.”
“Is that okay?”
Kang Ha-joon was a little intimidated by the lack of a familiar face. However, the tension was relieved when Yoon-jae approached first and became friendly.
He glanced at Yoongi. Even though he debuted at the same time as himself, he seemed to be full of composure.
‘Come to think of it, there were no rookies around me.’
Except for Yoon Jae-hee’s days, there were no people I knew who debuted last year. So I wanted to get to know someone who debuted around the same time like this.
In addition, I also watched the movie Kang Ha-joon appeared in, leaving a deep impression. I took on the lead role in an independent film, and the quality of the work was good, and Kang Ha-joon’s acting was also good.
“Then did you prepare for an idol and then turn to an actor?”
“huh. After that, I auditioned a lot.”
“Do you even know my brother?”
“Um… the kids in that group know. My name is Yoo Ji-hyeok. Because he’s been a trainee since he was very young.”
“okay?”
As we talked, an unexpected connection was made. Within a few minutes of noticing that, the awards ceremony began while many conversations were taking place.
Part 1 of the congratulatory performance was performed by Yoon Do-hwa’s group Flava, and it was a small topic of conversation that Yoon Jae-yi watched the twins’ stage at the awards ceremony, so they did not miss it at other awards ceremonies after that.
Looking at the camera that didn’t leave in front of me, Yoonjae smiled lightly.
“The Best New Actor Award in the drama category is…”
A split screen of the nominees appeared on the billboard behind the stage. Among them was Yoon Jae. The presenter called out the names of the winners.
(Jay Yoon made his debut in the drama ‘Along Along’ and radiated an explosive presence as a tyrant in the play, increasing the level of immersion in the drama.)
The voice introducing him rang through the award ceremony hall. Yoon J stepped up on the podium with light steps.
“hello. This is Yunjae.”
I only said one word, but I heard cheers from the audience. What stood out was the people from ＜Arong Arong＞ and ＜Daldongnae＞, whom I became close to after working together.
-Uld actors seem to be on good terms with each other.
-Congratulations to our prince of martial arts
-Congratulations, Sanghyun!
There were many other things. Changmin Moon, Minjae Kwon and Daeun Baek were there too.
“First of all, I would like to thank the production staff of ＜Along Along＞ for giving me a good opportunity even though I am a rookie who has not been verified. And my family who always make me a good person…”
Yoonjae was slowly sinking under the water. He hid his painful past and lived his life wearing a relatively intact mask. Because that’s not a problem for living right now.
But I couldn’t continue to live like this. After learning that it could be relieved through smoke, it left a big ripple on the surface of the water. So, sometimes the overlapped mask broke and it was difficult.
“Finally… I will work hard to stand in this place again with a more authentic appearance someday. thank you.”
Maybe that’s why I’m a little emotional now. Perhaps someone who knows the identity of Yoon Jae-yi will know that this is an allusion to his past. If you can shake off the complex emotions tangled in the past and stand up proudly, then…
-Your face is paradise, really
-Honestly, why did he receive the award after Baeksan?
-Let’s go to the best next time!
However, those watching the awards ceremony did not take it seriously. It was because Yunjae was not taking it too seriously.
“congratulation.”
“thank you.”
YoonJ received the trophy, but Kang Ha-Jun’s name was never called at the Rookie of the Year award in the film category. He said emptyly as the camera left him.
“Actually, it was good to be nominated.”
“yes.”
It was a fairly prestigious awards ceremony that awarded commercial and artistic independent films, plays, musicals, terrestrial broadcasting, and cable OTT. Just being nominated will help your career.
“But the human heart is… isn’t it?”
“If you do something that you thought couldn’t be done once, you want more.”
“that’s right. It’s a bit unfortunate.”
“There will be another opportunity next time.”
To be honest, Yunjae just had no feelings when he received the award. There was no resentment that his family was broken up and his childhood was ruined because of receiving the award, but he was not happy either. But for some, it was a desperate opportunity.
‘I think I’ll see him somewhere else.’
Yoonjay had a good personality, and he was a player when it came to choosing people who would have a good influence on me. And Kang Ha-joon’s first impression was pretty good. Since you’re good at acting, won’t the day come when we’ll meet each other in a production?
“Brother, it was nice meeting you today.”
“me too.”
After the awards ceremony, everyone was in the mood to go home. Winners gather separately and take a group photo. Yoonjae grabbed Kang Ha-jun, who was about to leave, and exchanged numbers.
“See you here next time. Or at work.”
Kang Ha-joon’s expression brightened as if that was a little comforting. Someone who watched Yoonjae get Kang Ha-joon’s number first spoke to him.
“excuse me······.”
“yes?”
“You dropped this.”
It’s not mine… First of all, Yoonjae received a small postcard from the other person. As if familiar, I looked at the back, and there was also a number written on it. The method is a bit obvious. He’s had way too many dashes like this in his life.
‘There are still fewer people in the audience seats…’
Because the place is a place, he only glanced at the person who handed him the postcard with his eyes rolling. The other person smiled shyly as he watched Yoonjay check his number.
[brother. If you go to an awards ceremony, there are things you need to be careful about.]
[What?]
[It’s a direct cam.]
Suddenly, what Yoon Do-joon said came to mind. It was the time when I told him various things for my brother, who was at an awards ceremony for the first time.
Is it the fate of idols? It was a pity that I had to be overly aware of other people’s eyes and pay attention to even the smallest details, but the advice was very helpful.
I appreciate your courage, but you probably won’t be contacting me at this number. I couldn’t throw it away openly, so I put it in the inside pocket of my jacket. With your back to the audience, no one will notice.
“Jay.”
In the atmosphere of taking a group photo and disbanding, Moon Chang-min called him.
“You go too.”
“Where are you?”
“I just want to have a small back-and-forth between us.”
Yoonjay glanced at the people gathered behind Moon Chang-min. There were a lot of people in the film industry, including Kwon Min-jae, and all of them are gorgeous. Most of them even had trophies in their hands.
“Come with me. Everyone except me is a man, so you have to be there.”
“okay.”
“I’ve heard everything about you.”
Moon Chang-min glared at Kwon Min-jae.
The place we went to was a bar close to the awards ceremony, and the age group was diverse, just saying “man”. There were also a few women, writer Lim Hyeon-hee and Park Seo-ah of ＜Along Along＞. And there was also Lee Hye-in, who played the role of Kang Soo-bin, whom I worked with in ＜Daldongne＞.
“······Almost all spicy food.”
“right. Can’t you eat spicy food?”
“I can eat something else.”
Yoonjay looked at the menu and fixed his eyes on the special menu for children. can i eat this?
“Are you really going to eat that?”
“yes.”
“I want to see that as it is, but wait. president!”
Moon Chang-min thought it would be fun to see a healthy man the size of a door holding children’s tableware, but he decided to keep his social face.
In fact, Yunjae had already experienced it at another restaurant, so he wasn’t too reluctant. I chose it because the menu was all spicy food, but Lee Seo-won, who saw it, held back a laugh.
“You don’t have to do that because of me…”
“No, this is my regular. You can just order something that is not on the menu.”
Instead, I had to sign an autograph for the restaurant owner. Looking at the colorful signs and photos filling the walls, it seemed like a place for an eternal after-party.
“Jay, it’s been a while.”
“Seniors.”
“When will you say ‘noona’?”
The drinking party was able to harmonize without difficulty. I knew a lot of people, and they all had brilliant careers, so it was helpful to get advice.
“How about going with the flow?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“I hope it turns out well. At that time, your acting in ‘Daldongne’ was really good.”
After lightly toasting Lee Hye-in’s glass, Yoon J-yi felt her eyes focused on her.
“Who is that friend?”
From noble mtl dot com.
Most of them were people in the film industry, so there were still many people who were unfamiliar with Yoon-J.
“Hello, senior. My name is Yunjae.”
“Did you win the Drama Rookie Award earlier…?”
“He’s good. It’s like our movie.”
“Is Hallim a movie?”
Director Park Jae-yoon’s eyes widened at Moon Chang-min’s explanation.
“That is the person who served as the cult leader in ‘Garden of Evil,’ right?”
“yes.”
“I didn’t recognize it because the atmosphere was different from the play.”
He has a good-looking face, so it’s possible to recognize him right away, but it didn’t match right away. Baek Jin-ri looked like a madman, and Yoon-jae in front of him was neat and well-mannered.
‘It’s all about acting…’
So much so that I can’t recall right away. Yoon J stayed in the director’s gaze. After hanging out with people like that, he left his seat for a while and looked at the TV news screen and stiffened his body.
(Breaking News) White House Emergency Announcement
“Could you please raise your voice a bit?”
“yes. Please.”
Yoonjay stared at the TV with a serious expression on his arms.
(There will be an important announcement at the White House in about 10 minutes, and local experts estimate that the LIS leader may have been killed.)
(After the US military killed Asad Yassin Qadir, a key executive and deputy leader of LIS in Operation Shadow of the Lion in 2016…)
Here’s the good news John said. Yoonjay crossed his arms and did not leave in front of the TV .
