The next day, Lee Jung-hoon dragged his hangover-ridden body to the production company under JSENM.

He stared blankly at the contract that was handed to him.

Wow This is real.

Did you think I was lying?

I thought you were just trying to cheer me up.

Me?

Yoo Yeon Seo, who was sitting across from him, snickered. My image has improved a lot, huh? Well, even before he possessed the body in 2018, some industry insiders had the impression that he was a good guy who helped newbies even though he got criticized for his acting skills.

You dont have time to be moved. You have to deliver the script faster than the proposal.

Yes.

Bring the result as soon as possible.

Even though Yoo Yeon Seo was pressuring him, Lee Jung-hoons eyes sparkled.

Hes happy without knowing its a slave contract.

After that, Lee Jung-hoon started working on the script revision. The staff who suddenly had to make a movie within two years were also divided. But when they heard they would get a bonus, the complaints disappeared.

I think it would be faster if I played the lead role

Lee Jung-hoon liked his synopsis and the characters. But he already had a drama scheduled, and he had more important things to do, so he decided to be satisfied with investing.

***

Theyre dead?

Yeah, here.

Baek Seo-joon finished the basic background check based on the list that Yoo Yeon Seo sent him. Yu Eun-ho and Yoo Yeon Seo, who received the documents he handed over, frowned at the same time.

Five out of the thirty people who guarded the mansion are dead?

Yoo Yeon Seo muttered with doubt. They were in their thirties in 1999, so theyre only in their fifties now. How come there are so many dead people?

Excluding the ones who died of illness, three of them died in traffic accidents.

Do you think this is related to what we suspected?

Its not 0% for sure.

Yu Eun-ho and Baek Seo-joon said in serious tones.

But, is this all?

Yoo Yeon Seo shook the papers gently and looked at Baek Seo-joon.

Well, I did the basic inquiry, but I cant move freely. This is illegal, you know.

What do you mean?

This guy is the son of the chief, you know. Its dangerous if he gets caught. And lately, the guy next to me keeps scratching my nerves

Wow, the cop has some connections.

Baek Seo-joon shrugged. But it wasnt good news that his actions were restricted.

But we know the addresses, so we have to do some research.

Hmm Yeah?

Yoo Yeon Seo tried to ignore the ringing in his ears. He had no choice but to run around. He was the only one who remembered the faces But 25 people were too many. And he couldnt let go of the dead people either.

By the way, these dead people Can we do some more investigation on them?

Maybe we can.

As the two brothers casually talked about investigating peoples backgrounds, Baek Seo-joon laughed incredulously.

Hey, are you planning something illegal in front of the police?

Do you have the guts to arrest me?

Wow, really, can I just hit you once?

Dont do it.

The answer came from Yu Eun-ho. Baek Seo-joon exhaled. He was pretty quiet before, but he was a bit cranky today.

First, we have to investigate these people, and then go find them one by one?

Hey, dont you remember anything?

Yoo Yeon Seo didnt answer Baek Seo-joons question. He bowed his head and covered his mouth, and Yu Eun-ho sighed when he saw that.

Spit it out.

Tina?

A watery answer, but the inside of his mouth was unusually red. Baek Seo-joon flinched.

What, what is it?

What do you mean what is it. Give me some more tissues.

No, right now

Baek Seo-joon reluctantly handed over the tissue box, but he glared at Yoo Yeon Seo who put the tissue on his mouth.

Tsk

He had been holding it in for a while, but it burst today. He didnt intend it, but he had to go with him anyway to catch the culprit, so it was better to reveal his pain in advance.

Its nothing.

Nothing?

Bak Seo-jun raised his voice in disbelief. He looked back and forth between Yoo Eun-ho and Yoo Yeon Seo, demanding an explanation for the situation.

Dont look at me. I dont know why either.

Huh

Bak Seo-jun lay back on the sofa and stared blankly at Yoo Yeon Seo.

I couldnt handle Yoo Eun-ho alone, and when I meet you two brothers, I lose all my energy

Hold on. This is an important call.

Look at this.

He, he cut off his words. Bak Seo-jun jumped up and scolded the back of his head as he walked away. When Yoo Yeon Seo disappeared, he looked at Yoo Eun-ho with a serious voice.

Is he really okay?

Well, he was clean on the test but I dont know either.

Ha This is a secret, right?

Take care of him when Im not around.

Unaware that he had added one more person who was frustrated because of him, Yoo Yeon Seo went out to the terrace and leaned on the railing.

Hey, Han representative.

(Are you busy?)

No.

Yoo Yeon Seo moved his phone to the other ear.

Did you do some research?

(Actually, I called you because of that. I got the contact information of the people who worked at the agency at that time. They set up their own agency and are raising idols.)

Oh, youre fast.

(Ill text you. Yeon Seo, can I put our kids in Guk-sae?)

Its not impossible but you know not to go too far, right?

(I know. Ill just put a few in the extras.)

Han representative hung up the phone excitedly. He could have asked for a more personal favor but he knew that he was trying hard for the agencys actors.

What is it?

Our agencys representative. Because of moms stalker.

Did you get anything?

Not yet.

He wanted to take matters into his own hands, but he was too well-known. Yoo Yeon Seo had no choice but to send a message to Im Seung-hyun.

[Exclusive] Yoo Yeon Seo, JSTV Guk-sae casting with Shin Ye-won

The anticipated work of the second half of the year Guk-sae Shin Ye-won X Yoo Yeon Seo casting confirmed a battle romance in the background of the constitutional monarchy

Wow, the casting is crazy

Shin Ye-won and Yoo Yeon Seo??

I had a crush on this combination Its really happening

But this was a work that many people were looking forward to since last year, and Yoo Yeon Seo took it in the end

Hes the directors son

Is Yoo Yeon Seo at the same level as Shin Ye-won yet?

Why do you think hes not yet? Hes the top actor of the 20s, isnt he?

-Ugh, I was looking forward to Guk-sae but its Yoo Yeon Seo again?

JSTV took it and I was worried, but its Yoo Yeon Seo

Basically, any good script from the broadcasting stations or studios under JSENM is taken by Yoo Yeon Seo, you can think of it like that

He became a director and I was anxious, but as expected

The competition is going crazy If youre jealous, why dont you make your actor a chaebol~

-I knew these board kids were crazy

They say Yoo Yeon Seo, an actor like that, gets a good work and they try to block the debut of the rookie male actors

And when the established 3040 actors get a good work, they say the rookie male actors will take it or the old actors will take it, what are they trying to match

The only excuse they have is the rookie male actors, but theres no one among the rookie male actors right now, what do they want me to do

For real, no matter what, Shin Ye-won is not at the level to be paired with a rookie, Yoo Yeon Seo suits him

Isnt it a fact that Yoo Yeon Seo blocks the way of the rookie male actors?

Whatever they do, they say fact fact

Does Yoo Yeon Seo use a clone technique He blocks the way of all the 2030 male actors

But the writer also hits the rookie male actors a bit

Anyway, I liked Guk-sae, I hope it comes out soon

The muggles are already going crazy with the combination, the response from Soompi is amazing, but only these kids are hitting and making a fuss

These kind of competitive posts that bash Yoo Yeon Seo without reason increased after the news that he became the director of JSENM.

No matter how much Yoo chairman helped him from behind, it was like covering the sky with his palm to block all the negative reactions.

Of course, it wasnt just the fans who were competing like this, but there were also rumors that the actors were saying it was unfair, but it wasnt something he cared about, so he ignored it.

Hello.

Did you come?

Yeon Seo visited a magazine studio for the promotion and marketing of Guksae. Guksae was an important drama in the second half of 2021, so the promotion and marketing schedule was packed.

Have you lost some weight?

Oh, will I not look pretty in the photos?

No, its actually better. Your jawline is more defined.

Some people felt sorry for his thin appearance, but others liked him more, saying he looked even more handsome and had a sharp charm. The broadcast camera made him look slightly swollen than in reality.

While he was waiting for a while, there was a commotion at the entrance. Shin Yewon, wearing sunglasses, entered the studio with her staff.

Hello, senior.

Youre Goo Myeon, right?

Shin Yewon took off her sunglasses and offered a handshake to Yeon Seo. Yeon Seo shook her hand as politely as possible. Shin Yewon was an actress with a solid career and credentials that he couldnt compare with.

Im sorry I acted like a fool last time.

I liked it. Were going to see each other a lot anyway.

Really? Just call me casually.

Okay, sister.

They were going to work together on one project for several months. They chatted briefly about whether they had eaten or how the synopsis was.

What a crazy combination.

Are you kidding me?

As soon as they stood close to each other, the staff felt an unusual atmosphere and gasped. Some people took pictures with their phones, but they wouldnt leak them until the magazine came out.

Lets start with Yeon Seo.

The concept of todays pictorial was to mix hanbok appropriately according to the background of Guksae. Yeon Seo wore a suit with a colorful overcoat on his shoulder and stood in front of the camera.

Nice eyes!

The photographer kept pressing the shutter and cheered him on. It was awkward at first, but he felt comfortable thinking that the pictorial was an extension of acting.

Shin Yewon also wore a tight-fitting suit with a red overcoat that made her look like a queen. 

She had a gorgeous hair ornament on her neatly braided hair, which enhanced her luxurious and elegant image.

Yeon Seo, who changed several outfits and took pictures, received a careful request from the photographer during a break.

Um Yeon Seo. Can you show me more affectionate eyes?

Ill try.

Okay.

He thought he had put some affection, but was it not enough? Lee Taegyeom, who handed him water, gave him an answer.

Just do it like you did with Doyul. Your eyes were dripping with honey.

Doyul was the name of the child actor he often played with in Dreaming. Did he still remember that he said he was cute and he was disgusting? Anyway, it was a good advice.

Wow! Its so good right now!

The staff exclaimed as he changed his eyes with determination. Shin Yewon also sharpened her eyes without losing. The concept was a man who wooed and a woman who resisted.

The finale of the pictorial was a scene where Yeon Seo put a crown on Shin Yewon, who was sitting on the throne, behind her.

Good!

The photographer encouraged the models until his throat was sore. He heard later that he was not such a talkative person. He was clearly excited by the good subject.

One more time!

When Yeon Seo lifted the beads on the ryu (a type of crown) with his hand and pressed his face close to hers as if to kiss her, the staff who had been gasping shouted loudly.

Wow This is no joke.

This will cause a stir when its released, right?

It cant not. We have to print a lot of copies, right?
