The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Think as you, please. 

The writer and director of ‘Baekho-ham’ arrived at the meeting venue and got off the elevator. 

They were slow to catch up with the news, but they found out during the meeting with the production staff that the relationship between Yeon Seo and Lee Hangyeol’s group, One Seven, was not good, even though the casting had already been confirmed. 

“I didn’t think Yeon Seo would accept the meeting request.” 

“Turns out their relationship isn’t that bad?”’

They couldn’t replace Yeon Seo, especially since the casting news had already been released, and One Seven’s fandom power couldn’t be ignored. 

As a last resort, they decided to have a greeting session with the lead and supporting actors before the meeting. However, Yeon Seo, who didn’t usually participate in such events, was the first one to send a message that he would attend. 

The writer and director took it as a positive sign. 

“Hello.” 

“You already arrived?”

But as they opened the door to the conference room with pleasant steps, they stopped in their tracks due to the suffocating atmosphere. ‘What’s going on with this atmosphere?’ 

Yeon Seo had a calm face, Lee Hangyeol looked strangely unhappy, and Park Min Woo was watching both sides with uneasy eyes. ‘

‘Could it be Yeon Seo…?’ 

Yeonseo was the one who paid the least attention to others’ feelings here.

‘Could it be true that he had acted viciously as the rumours said? That would be unacceptable…’

“Hello”, Yeon Seo, who happened to make eye contact with the director, greeted him with a smile. 

Then Lee Hangyeol and Park Min Woo stood up and greeted them. Fortunately, they were filming behind-the-scenes content to release after the movie premiere, so the mood quickly changed. 

Hi, I’m Kim Dae Sung, the writer of ‘Baekho-ham.” 

“I’m Park HoJin, the director of ‘Baekho-ham.’ “

As this was their first time in this type of situation, they looked tense. Park Min Woo and Lee Han Gyeol clapped their hands and helped them relax.

“We called you here to explain how the filming will progress and what direction the acting should take.”

It sounded as if they had arranged the meeting specifically for Yoo Yeon Seo, who was famous for his bad acting. Some people looked briefly at Yoo Yeon Seo when the director spoke.

“Although ‘Baekho-ham’ has a lot of action, the acting is equally important.”

Baekho-ham was chosen for production because of Yoo Yeon Seo, but the writer and director became increasingly ambitious. They wanted to teach how to act in Baekho-ham, mostly targeting Yoo Yeon Seo. Many writers and directors in the past have attempted this, but Kim Dae Seong and Park Ho Jin did not yet realise that Yoo Yeon-seo’s acting had not improved.

“Explosive gun action is important, as well as deepening camaraderie as you fight!”

The director and writer explained with enthusiasm, hoping Yoo Yeon Seo would understand. However, Yoo Yeon Seo was interested in the work and thought the filming atmosphere would be fun.

“We look forward to working with you.”

Kim Dae Sung said as he glanced briefly at Yoo Yeon Seo. He was relieved that he did not seem to be in a bad mood.

‘ He’s quieter than the rumours.’

“Hello.”

Inside the meeting room, there was enough room for Lee Tae Gyeom. Lim Seung Hyun, who was standing in the hallway for a moment, raised his head at the person’s greeting.

“Yes?”

“Yoo Yeon Seo’s secretary, right?”

Lim Seung Hyun raised an eyebrow. Usually, people who follow celebrities are known as managers or directors, but they are called secretaries? 

“Yes, but who are you?”

“Oh, I’m Oh Beom Soo, the manager of One Seven.”

“So?”

Lim Seung Hyun was very perceptive, and he felt that Oh Beom Soo’s approach was not sincere. Naturally, he responded stiffly, causing Oh Beom- Soo to hesitate.

“I heard that the secretary has changed again… So, should we contact you from now on?”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you still not aware of it…?”

Oh Beom Soo rolled his eyes awkwardly. In fact, he was trying to avoid Lim Seung Hyun’s sharp gaze.

‘Maybe I should try to investigate?’

After observing Oh Beom Soo for a while, Lim Seung Hyun pulled out his business card from his pocket.

“I think I know what you mean. Contact me from now on if you need to.”

“Oh, I see that you understand. I’ll contact you when necessary.”

Smiling, Lim Seung Hyun handed over his business card, and Oh Beom Soo bowed his head in relief and went into the conference room. Lim Seung Hyun remained lost in thought, as he wondered: 

‘What’s going on? Hasn’t it been over seven years since the last time Yeon Seo worked with One Seven? Why would he need to contact that manager?’

After the tense meeting ended, they finally began preparing for the actual filming. 

Except for Yeon Seo, who was already exercising, Park Min Woo and Lee Han Gyeol hurriedly began to work on their bodies. After finishing their respective schedules, they received action instructions at Cheonha Action School.

“Yeon Seo Hyung-nim, you’re here?”

“Hi.”

After finishing his acting lesson with Park Hyun Jeong, Yeon Seo immediately went to Cheonha Action School. Inside, Lee Han Gyeol was receiving personal coaching from Director Park Sung Jin.

“Is it okay to come now?”

“What could prevent me from coming?”

“Well…”

Trainees glanced at Lee Han Gyeol. Yeon Seo nodded as if to say he understood.

‘One Seven… It’s about OneSeven.’

After the awkward moment with Lee Han Gyeol, Yeonseo searched more about himself online. After his negative departure from OneSeven, he still occasionally crossed paths with the group. A video captured the group receiving an award and Yeon Seo was one of the presenters. The video showed how they exchanged cold looks and moved past each other. 

[4K] 171204 NMA One Seven Men’s Group Award Fan Cam

└ The award goes to Yoo Yeon Seoㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [*lol*] Nnet made it happenㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[*lol*]

└How did they make the victim group the award recipient and the winning group the victim?

└ After all, Nnet aggro is no joke

└ Look at their faces ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [*lol*]

└Honestly, OneSeven is impressive but what about Yeon Seo?

Even though it was an official award ceremony, the video did not intend to hide their expressions. According to Lee Tae Gyeom, when they ran into One Seven, they passed each other with cold stares. It was said that One Seven picked a fight with Yoo Yeon Seo, taunting him by saying that his “hellish mouth” was still causing trouble.

‘Isn’t it possible to show dislike only when emotions remain? For better or for worse.’
