Possessed 10 Million Actors

Chapter 49

“Why are mentioning KL Entertainment here all of a sudden?”

I stopped and looked at Kwak Jinwook and Ronald alternately.

Kwak Jinwook was still staring at Ronald with a grim expression.

“Oh…”

Ronald, on the other hand, is a pupil earthquake. He seemed very embarrassed.

“Haha—. I don’t know what you’re talking about, yo. KL Entertainment? I’ve never heard of that name. Yo—!”

“Really? Does it really have nothing to do with KL Entertainment?”

Kwak Jinwook asked, tilting his head.

But Ronald was strangely overreacting.

“What do you mean there’s something? It has nothing to do with them Yo!”

“No, you might be close to the agency. Why are you so sensitive? Just like someone who has done something wrong.”

Kwak Jinwook spoke calmly, but his words had thorns in them.

I decided to just watch because I didn’t think it was a conversation I wanted to have.

“Actually, I’ve been wanting to ask you something for a while. It was a little strange. Only KL Entertainment actors gave good reviews.

“—.”

“But in the meantime, the acting of actor Kang Jinseok has been saying that he doesn’t like it. That’s why I asked about it just in case.”

“—.”

“From the looks of your reaction, there must be something on your mind.”

Due to Kwak Jinwook’s smooth words, Ronald’s face changed.

“Did you really fall for getting interrogated?”

Just as Ronald was about to say something, the sergeant and the PD banged on the desk and said.

“Wait a minute!”

Ha Sarang frowned and looked at Kwak Jinwook and Ronald.

“This is not a conversation to be had in front of the applicants. Let’s talk again after Kang Jinseok leaves.”

Ha Sarang gave me a bright smile.

“Kang Jinseok, thank you for your hard work. You can go out. I’ll text you the results of the audition.”

“Yes.”

I wondered if Kwak Jinwook was really thoughtless about Ronald or if he said that because he knew something.

Seeing Ronald’s reaction, I think he has something to do with KL Entertainment.

However, as long as the order for the celebration was in place, there was no way I could be here.

“I’ll go out then. Thank you!”

Leaving a somewhat confusing audition room behind me, I slowly walked out of the door.

***

“Hey! Jinseok!”

Min Kyungsoo was also waiting at the door to see if the audition was over.

“Did you finish your audition?”

“What about you?” Call me Big Brother.

“Ha ha, ha ha. Yes, brother.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I was waiting to eat with you when you came back from the audition. “How was it?”

“I think I did okay in the end…”

I stopped when I was about to tell him that the atmosphere in the audition hall had deteriorated because of the KL Entertainment name.

“Let’s not talk about it for no reason because I don’t know it well.”

I just swallowed without finishing my last words. Then Min Kyungsoo asked as if he was curious.

“What happened at the end?”

“– I was criticized for acting a little too much at the end.”

Min Kyungsoo’s eyes widened as if he was surprised by the rough equivocation.

“You went too far? “You must have been a little nervous.”

“Yes.”

“Did I say I should be nervous earlier?”

Come to think of it, I did.

But he said, “Yes. I couldn’t say, ‘It’s all because of you,’ so I just kept quiet.

When I looked at Min Kyungsoo, he covered his head with both hands and suffered alone, saying, “I ruined my junior’s audition! “I’m an idiot!” and “Ahhhhhh!”

But even that lasted for a while.

Min Kyungsoo asked with a subtle voice.

“How was Kwak Jinwook?”

“If it’s Kwak Jinwook, is he a judge?”

“Yes, he’s my friend. He’s an old man. He always makes rookies open their eyes. What did he say?”

“He said very little. “Was he your friend?”

“Yes, we are quite close. “I asked her to tell you. Didn’t she hear me?”

I didn’t hear it.

By the way, it’s “To Nayeon”.

“You seemed pretty close to Lee Narin and you must be close to Lee Nayeon.

While I was thinking, Min Kyungsoo made a slight impression and made a phone call. Maybe it was because I turned the phone up so loud that I could even hear it next to me.

[Hello?] Senior?]

“Yes, Nayeon. I’m Kyungsoo. “Did you tell Jinseok that Kwak Jinwook is my friend?”

[What?] [Was the judge your friend?]

“Didn’t I tell you?”

[Huh?] You. Just say, “He really hates rookies, so tell Jinseok. [He said, “Hahaha!”]

This man. . . . You had a bit of a sloppy personality.

Where was his charisma when he defeated Moon Jongchul before the audition?

As I watched Min Kyungsoo with open eyes, I suddenly remembered something I wanted to ask Lee Nayeon.

“Senior. I wanted to ask her something as well. Can I talk to her for a second?”

“What? Uh, okay. Hey, Nayeon. Jinseok wants to ask you something, I’ll change it for you.”

[Yes!]

Lee Nayeon’s lively voice was heard over the cell phone.

Min Kyungsoo handed over his cell phone as if he wanted to talk comfortably.

“Hello. I’m Kang Jinseok who said hello earlier.”

[Yes!]! [How was your audition?]

“Yes, thanks to you, I enjoyed it.”

[Thanks to Ho-ho…]! So, what do you want to ask? What are you doing this weekend? [I have plenty of time]

“Oh, no. It’s not like that. “Mmmm.–”

After organizing his thoughts for a while, he asked.

“Before the audition, you said there was someone I had to be very careful about. “Do you remember?”

[Yes]. [Of course.]

It was a nonchalant voice with a nuance that it was nothing.

“Can you tell me who it was?”

[Oh, that one?]

Lee Nayeon said in a calm voice, just like a while ago.

[Producer Ha Sarang]

“Ha Sarang the producer?”

[Yes]. Because she was so direct during the judging process, there was more than one actor who cried. [That’s why I wanted to tell you in case actor Kang Jinseok might get hurt]

It wasn’t about Ronald.

I think I was just worried about my junior as a senior. I was a little relieved, but I was frustrated because my curiosity had not been satisfied.

When I sat still for a while without saying anything, Min Kyungsoo said to Lee Nayeon.

“Okay, Nayeon. You did a great job, and I’ll see you later.”

[Yes!]

[If you have any more questions, feel free to call me…]

Lee Nayeon said something at the end. But Min Kyungsoo yawned and hung up.

“Jinseok. Come on. Let’s go eat. After an audition, you need to fill your stomach. Auditions go by very quickly.”

“Yes, that’s a good idea.”

“OK. What kind of food do you have in mind? It’ll be on your bill. Say anything you want except beef.”

“Except beef?”

“Yeah, beef is too expensive, dude.”

“All right, then.”

I thought about it for a while. Then I said.

“I’m going to eat sushi.”

“— Clever child. Your choice is something as expensive as beef.”

He said that. But Min Kyungsoo immediately started looking for sushi restaurants.

***

I went to a Gopchang restaurant. There was no suitable sushi restaurant nearby.

Maybe it was because it was early. There weren’t many customers, so I could eat comfortably.

“It’s so good!” even before the food came out. I had to take a picture with a part-time employee and give an autograph to the owner.

Chee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee.

The tripe was fried so that it was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and it was rolled well so that the fat of the tripe did not come out.

Min Kyungsoo admired and said.

“Wow, Jinseok, you were really good at grilling the meat at the company dinner.” “You’re also good at the tripe grill”

“Yes, I used to work part-time at a tripe restaurant as well. I learned it from the boss there.”

“No wonder! You’re not going to go anywhere for a part-time job.”

“Are you excited about it?”

“Um. ‘Vibe from Jjam.'”

“Oh, yeah.”

You know that as well.

Min Kyungsoo said. He was eating meat and talking about this and that.

“Yo, Jinseok. Aren’t you going to get involved with the Company?

“Company… You’re talking about the agency, aren’t you?

“Yes. I think there are several companies you can have a look at.”

“Uh, um…”

Seo Inhyuk suggested his agency MAJOR 77 in the past.

And these days, when I go to and from school, I get business cards from a lot of agencies.

Some were agencies I’d heard of. Some were agencies I’d never heard of.

Some of them also had suggestions for specific contract details.

There were a couple of places where I had a direct call to my number from time to time.

How the hell they got my number, I don’t know.

There was no company I liked even though it was offered by several companies.

To be honest, I don’t have enough schedules yet to feel the need for an agency. So I never really thought about it.

Min Kyungsoo poured himself a glass of coke and said.

He continued: “Actually my contract with the company ends next month. I tried to stay as long as I could, but after the CEO change, the atmosphere in the company was quiet. So I’m going to move.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Yes. That is why I had the idea of moving with you at the time of my transfer to the company.”

“—.”

“It might be a bit unfortunate to say this, but I’m a bit powerful. If you move in with me, I can take care of you. I can also see a little bit of you if you do well. I’m saying: Let’s get to know each other.

Min Kyungsoo said with a smile.

This is certainly a very good offer for me.

Min Kyungsoo is a talented actor who is recognized by everyone, even though he is not a top star.

From what we’ve seen so far, he has a good personality. I am sure that there will be more good things for us to do together in the future.

“Just to let you know, Narine and Nayeon, oh, Woo Hyun are going to move together. We’re all in the same company. The time of the end of the contract is the same.”

“Were there any other people who worked at the same company?”

“Didn’t you have any idea?”

“Yes. I had no idea. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be sorry. So, what’s it going to take?”

He spoke calmly as usual. But I could feel a subtle expectation in his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment before answering. Min Kyungsoo laughed and said.

“I’m not going to a strange company, so don’t worry. Even if it’s at least the size of KL Entertainment or a start-up, it will be a solid company. Oh, the size is KL Entertainment, not KL Entertainment. Even if you put all your money in there.

(Singing “Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo.”)

While Min Kyungsoo was talking, my phone suddenly rang.

“Oh, brother, I’m so sorry. I just got a phone call.”

“Yes. Answer it, answer it.”

“Yes.”

[010-XXXX-XXXX]

It was a number I didn’t know. But I got it in a hurry because it might be an audition call.

“Hello?”

[Hello. Is this actor Kang Jinseok’s phone?]

It was a serious male voice. It had a medium to deep tone.

“Yes, that’s right.”

[I’m Ryoo Sungho. I’m the first director of KL Entertainment.]

[I have something to say. Can I talk to you on the phone?]
