Intermission (1)
With the crank-in of ＜Intermission＞ approaching one day ahead, Jay Yoon was invited to the premiere of director Youngchang Lee’s movie ＜Horizon＞.
“How do you know this director?”
“I was introduced to Vice Chairman Cho, and he was an acquaintance of my real father.”
“Ah, so then at the restaurant…”
I saw you then Yoonjae tried to ignore his stinging conscience and focused his eyes on the screen of his phone. It was an interview article with Lee Young-chang that popped up as soon as the release date came.
As he slowly scrolled through the interview, Yoonjay’s thumb stopped at some point.
Q. I want to hear about the love calls from numerous film festivals that have continued since ‘Children’ and how you feel about winning awards.
A. I am who I am today because of ‘Child’. I am always grateful to filmmakers who are always interested in me. And this is half a joke, but it’s kind of boring now.
Q. hahahaha! This is an answer that only the director can give. Speaking of which, by the way… Many people remember the past with the re-release of ‘Children’. Is there any way to know the news about Yoon Jae-hee?
A. I can’t tell you that. Even if I know, I will keep it a secret.
Over 20 years, many masterpieces have been created. There are many child actors like Kwon Min-jae and Baek Da-eun who became famous, but still looking for Yoon Jae-hee… Yoon-jae didn’t understand.
Q. A new film has just been released. Sorry to ask you this, but do you have any thoughts on your next film?
He also knew that Lee Young-chang was thinking about his next project. What was your answer? Yoonjay, who was about to scroll down, raised his head at Han Jinwoo’s words.
“Brother, we have arrived.”
“okay.”
He turned off the screen and put the phone in his pocket. Since then, because of the filming of ＜Intermission＞, this was the answer to the question I hadn’t seen.
A. Yes.
Q. Do you have any plans to tell us what it is like?
A. It is a tribute film for one person.
Q. A tribute film? I don’t know who it is, but I’m envious.
A tribute film made by a master like Lee Young-chang, who the hell is the main character of the honor? Actors who wanted to appear in Lee Young-chang’s movie saw this interview and envied the unknown person.
Without knowing that, Yoon Jae went into the preview room.
“Mr. Jay! Please look this way!”
“This way next!”
After a short wait, Yoon J also stood in the photo line. For Yoo Tae-hyeok in ＜Intermission＞, he grew his hair and even added some curls.

└ Oh crazy long hair
└ It looks good on you
└ What is the atmosphere?
└ Real men look good even with long hair
└ Is it facial hair?
-I think it was because of the intermission that I grew my hair?
A genius rock star with long hair? This becomes
└Don’t you think the curly hair was added on purpose?
└Someone hit my head and time warp me to next year
└ I want to see you soon, but I want you to do something more.

At a concert hall near Hongdae, it was earlier than usual, but there were already a lot of people waiting.
“Did you sign the confidentiality agreement?”
“Here you go.”
They were the part-timers of the audience for filming. The staff received the documents while moving busily.
“Don’t act like you know whoever comes out. Just enjoy the performance and call the name written there.”
“There must be people in the audience filming the performance with their cell phones, but they are our staff. You shouldn’t be filming just because others are filming.”
Part-timers in the audience skimmed through the information they shared.
The band’s name is Ajitato, and the vocalist and bass player is Yoo Tae-hyeok. Joonyoung Min on guitar and Insu Oh on drums. Since the vocalist is the popular member, there was also an instruction to call the vocalist by name.
“But who is that?”
“I don’t know either.”
Part-timers in the audience, who had become bored while waiting, whispered. I didn’t go to this part-time job often, but it’s more systematic than other filming locations.
In addition, security was so thorough that there was a condition to turn off cell phones before entering the venue.
“Isn’t a famous person coming?”
Before the official article for ＜Intermission＞ was announced, the production team sought people in advance for a realistic performance. At that time, casting articles had not yet appeared, so the number of recruits was insufficient.
The production team did not give up and went around the indie venues and recruited audiences who often watched the performances. They said that if you watch the performance, they will give you money, so people with cold hearts gathered.
“I’ve been looking for it, and the only work that can be filmed at this time is ‘Intermission’.”
“Didn’t you say that Yunjae would come out?”
“Who is Yunjae?”
“It’s the original dance that was popular in Cookie Talk. Don’t you know the coffee commercial this time? I heard you are a rising actor these days.”
“Who is it?”
“Oh, is that person Yoonjae?”
Even though Yoonjay is rapidly rising in the entertainment industry these days and is starting to solidify his reputation, of course there were people who didn’t know him. They searched for Yunjae and first admired his face.
“The dog is handsome.”
“So, is that what we’re filming now?”
“Oh no way.”
“It would be an independent film.”
In fact, that hypothesis is correct. YoonJi was taking pictures of the back of him going up to the concert hall after dressing up as Yoo Tae-hyuk.
“Get in order and get in!”
Part-timers who entered the concert hall under the guidance of the staff held their breath when they saw a tall man greeting them on stage.
Most of these indie venues are close to the audience seats and the podium. The people close to the stage are minor actors who were cast in advance, and they play dead fans of the band Ajitato in ＜Intermission＞.
“Huh!”
“Really?!”
Even if someone was already standing in front of them, they were close. People who came to know him as a simple part-timer part-time job opened their mouths at the real YoonJ, whom they only saw on the screen.
Are you connected now? Yoonjay tapped the microphone on the stand with his finger.
“Ahh. Hello, this is actor Yoon Jae. It’s pretty hot outside, isn’t it?”
“and······.”
“It’s hot!”
The audience responded a beat late to the appearance of an unexpected person. Yoonjae brushed back his flowing hair as if he was annoyed. It’s been a while since I’ve had long hair, so my face itches.
“Thank you for coming to our film. Will you keep it a secret until the opening?”
“yes!”
“You are the first people to hear my performances and songs. So let’s really just get to know each other. Don’t tell me where to go, just enjoy it here, you know?”
“yes!”
“Shall we start with our shout practice? what is my name?”
“Yoonjay!”
“Yoo Tae-hyuk!”
Yoonjae shook his head at the audience calling his name. The humorous expression caused a gentle laugh among the audience.
“It’s not Yunjae. Again, what?”
“Yoo Tae-hyuk!”
“great. Let’s do it one more time.”
Director Shin Ji-won and Choi Su-jin admired a little. The two couldn’t refuse the lead actor’s request to say hello to the audience for a moment for the realism.
But I didn’t expect to be so skillful. Even if YoonJ is good at playing like a Munchkin, you can’t just play well. It was because I thought that the heat and atmosphere of a performance facing the audience would not be familiar yet.
“Isn’t this your first performance? Are you good at training?”
“I heard you were tutored by your younger siblings.”
“okay?”
“He’s a really annoying person.”
Contrary to what he said, a smile hung on Shin Ji-won’s lips. The audience part-time job was half-excited by the appearance of an unexpected celebrity, but with Yoon-Ji’s training, the audience part-time job became a fan of Ajitato.
Not only that, but the old fan actors who were cast in advance thinking they were Yoon-jae were also entwined.
“I’ll stand by now!”
At the staff’s shout, Yoon J waved to see him later and left the stage. And actors playing drums and guitar pretended to tune the instruments. The rest of the audience groaned.
“Do you really play?”
“oh my god.”
“going! Ready, cue!”
The youngest staff hit the slate and quickly disappeared to the corner of the stage. The drums and guitar exchanged glances as if they were anxious about the leader who was still invisible even though the audience was so full.
“Where is Yoo Tae-hyuk?”
“I don’t know. Don’t answer the phone.”
Bang! The door opened violently and it was Yoo Tae-hyeok who appeared. The audience reflexively screamed. The actor is Taehyuk! Some of the audience also responded to the sound of calling.
Until just a little while ago, there was no appearance of Yoon Jae who was gently training the audience. Rough steps, nervous and sensitive expression. Yoo Tae-hyeok lightly pushed the guitarist who was approaching him.
“Why are you so late?”
“Start.”
How can a person’s mood change like this? The first song was played before the audience could even hum.
My heart beats at the sound of drums thumping. Thanks to the sound that the production team carefully set up, the audience forgot that this was a movie shoot and purely enjoyed the performance.
It is a soundtrack that director Shin Ji-won and many composers collaborated on. I thought you would like it.
“Wow crazy!”
“Kyaaah!”
It was Yunjay who ate it perfectly. The husky vocals that slam and bounce the bass brilliantly were attractive.
And behind the enthusiastic audience, Kang Ha-joon, now Jung Yi-hyeon, appears.
It shows that this is the first time a performance hall like this has been seen in neat clothes that don’t match with other audiences and the behavior of looking around the venue as if it were unfamiliar.
‘and······.’
Even he wasn’t Jeong Yi-hyeon at this moment. Kang Ha-joon’s body unconsciously jumped out and watched the performance.
I couldn’t take my eyes off the figure of Yunjay, who grabbed the audience and skillfully acted, played, and sang.
“Cut! great!”
“I’ll take a break and do it again!”
This is the performance scene that dominates the beginning of the film. It was planned to be filmed and edited from various angles.
“Really dope!”
“Wow, don’t you like the song?”
“Crazy…”
Fortunately, the audience was not tired. What to do, I think I’ll take three more shots… Shin Ji-won exclaimed.
“I’ll start over!”
And then the performances, performances, performances started again.
It was difficult for the audience to radiate the cheers and enthusiasm of the first time. If the 3-minute pre-recording of an idol goes over three times, I just feel tired and exhausted and want to go home. The length of the performance to be used for filming is 20 minutes.
“It’s hard…!”
“I can’t hear that voice.”
Somehow, the pay was strong for a simple part-time job! The audience waited for the director’s ok sign. And, I was finally freed.
“okay! Thank you for your hard work! You can go now!”
“it’s okay!”
“at las!”
Feeling apologetic once again, Yunjay crouched down closer to the audience.
“Was it hard today?”
“yes······.”
“It was a lot of hard work. Enter carefully.”
Encouraged by Yunjay, the audience escaped the venue. Although his stamina was depleted, there was a small change. Until the start of the performance, Yoon J? Who is it? The people who were doing it were buzzing.
“Did you say that person was Yoonjae?”
“yes.”
“What happened to this person? You don’t do balloons?”
“I! I know!”
In the meantime, Yoon J’s fans were also mixed in. Unexpectedly, she burned a huge amount of money and approached her actor to do business.
The audience went home like that, but the filming continued.
After the performance, the band Ajitato took their instruments and went out of the venue.
“Hey, drums.”
“It’s not the drums, but Oh In-soo, how many times…”
bang!
Yoo Tae-hyeok’s forearm pressed Oh In-soo’s neck. Oh In-soo, who was suddenly pressed against the wall, groaned.
“f*ck, I told you to keep the beat right.”
“Hey, Taehyuk Yoo. You did a good job taking over, but why?”
Min Joon-young, a member who was playing the guitar, hurriedly grabbed Yoo Tae-hyeok. But I didn’t even budge. Yoo Tae-hyuk glared at Oh In-soo without even flinching. It was like a beast that could not be tamed.
“What are you good at? I heard you missed the beat earlier.”
“Ugh… let go of this!”
“If you’re going to play that sh*t, quit.”
“Hey, let go. hurry.”
Min Joon-young was Yoo Tae-hyeok’s high school classmate and best friend. At his persuasion, Yoo Tae-hyeok released Oh In-su.
“Am I your slave? How long do I have to please you!”
“Stomach? Hey, if you’re not good at it, don’t play the drums. Is it the drummer’s job to lose his beat due to his stamina?”
“Anyway, I’m not an official member, so I’m going to be a guest! Where else is there to quit?!”
Oh In-soo bluffed that he would not come out tomorrow, so try to do well without the drums.
“And if I don’t pay the performance fee quickly today, I’ll bring it back and come back.”
“go away.”
“Sick.”
Yoo Tae-hyeok and Oh In-soo exchanged middle fingers. Oh In-soo went out of the alley in a huff, and the two people left smoked cigarettes.
Ajitato, a popular band in the indie scene with relatively large fans, was in danger of disintegration.
“You kill that damn thing.”
“why me.”
“ha······.”
It was because of Yoo Tae-hyeok’s damned personality .
