The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 4.1

Chapter 4.1

"It's really frustrating."

Yoo Yeon Seo pressed down on his throbbing temple.

Even if you take out Kang Jin Hoo, who has been injected with the basic knowledge of 2018, wouldn't a sane person have the common sense to not be involved in a mess like this? And in 2207, this kind of social behaviour would get you cursed out.

‘I really want to open Yoon Seo's head.'

Why is it like this? Because he's a chaebol? Of course, it doesn't matter in this era. Rumours have already spread that the successor would be Yoo Geon Min and then Yoo Eun Ho, so there is no need to bear the heir risk.

[SNS?] Yoo Yeon Seo, who caused a stir by posting a picture on SNS of himself in front of a luxury car with the caption, "It's not a second car, it's the fifth car"

Yoo Yeon Seo's home revealed on SNS, caused a stir… the sofa alone costs 50 million won

In fact, whenever Yoon Seo flaunts his wealthy lifestyle, he gets cursed, but the clothes he wears, perfume, and furniture he is associated with sell out. It's probably because of the psychology of people who want to follow the life of a wealthy chaebol.

According to the experts in the articles he found, Yoon Seo, who is the most active on SNS among the chaebols of top corporations in South Korea, is well-known to the public, and is worshipped and criticised like an idol.

Of course, the attention that Yoon Seo receives is not just because of the image of an actor who can't act well. Even someone who is not an actor could be called a celebrity such as his brother.

Wait, now that I think about it…

“It may not necessarily be a disadvantage if one has a negative image.”

Is there a celebrity with such a strong influence, whether positive or negative, that exist in South Korea?

Beta-9 instilled not only the basic common knowledge of 2018 but also the general knowledge of a typical 26-year-old man living in this country. Although not in-depth, he knows who the top stars are and how popular they are in the entertainment industry.

However, no matter what they do, it is unlikely that their actions will be as shocking as the SNS posts that Yoon Yeon Seo makes.

"Acting… if done well, it will work."

It's fine to be good at acting, but if you're not good at it, you'll get criticised. , However, if you're not good but still try your best, you'll be re-evaluated as ‘You did your best!'

In truth, Kang Jin Hoo also wanted to become an actor and only went back in time with that one desire. He didn't have much confidence in his acting yet. But with Yoon Yeon Seo's resources, he could probably hire a good acting teacher.

‘It's not bad.' Yoon Yeon Seo smiled wryly. But there was another problem.

From looking at posts and videos on various media platforms, Kang Jin Hoo and Yoon Yeon Seo had different personalities. And now he has to live as the original host until his timely death.

‘Confidence is one thing, but..'

To act out the entirety of one person's 26 years of life is a daunting task. In order to settle into the role of Yoon Yeon Seo, I need to have a lot of information about him, including his family…

"Beta."

<Yes, Master.>

“Is there any way for me to receive Yeon Seo’s memories, just like the way you implanted me with the basic manual for living in 2018?”

<I have collected and stored the memories of the real Yeon Seo. Do you want to run automatic memory synchronization?>

Yoo Yeon Seo hurriedly raised his hand.

"Wait, how will this affect my body?"

<If you synchronize all of the memories, your organs and brain will shrivel and you will experience great pain as blood pours out from every hole in your body…>

“Okay, okay, I get it. You don't have to explain it in such detail.”

Dying from receiving memories? That's not an option. Even without that, the medical team and staff made such a fuss about yesterday's episode when I vomited blood.

As soon as I regained consciousness, I received a phone call from my older brother Yoo Eun Ho, I was already in danger of being imprisoned by my family before I even had a chance to pursue my dream of becoming an actor.

“Is there a way to receive my memories without putting too much strain on my body?”

<Then, would you like to synchronize a randomly edited 1% version of the memory as a test?>

“What will happen if I do that?”

<You may lose consciousness. It will probably be similar to what happened yesterday.>

Yesterday? To the point of vomiting blood and fainting? That's not too bad, I can handle that… You can think of it as post-traumatic stress from the accident.

No, if I get caught, I could end up being confined to the hospital, not by my family.

Yeon Seo checked the clock. It was exactly 11pm, perfect. He firmly told the people waiting outside not to wake him up, and then sat on the bed.

“Is it possible to keep bleeding out like this? Won't I just die?"

<Please do not worry about that. It is just a temporary side effect of memory synchronization and does not adversely affect Master's body.>

Even though he had just bled out, the recovery was swift. At least that's a relief. Yeon Seo held a handful of tissues to his face and nodded his head.

<Starting random memory synchronization.>

After Beta-9's words, his vision went black.

[So, are you going to get rid of me?]

[Yes! I can't stand the nastiness anymore!]

[Hey! Where are you going! You have to drive me home!]

It was intense from the start.

The manager, who had abandoned Yoo Yeon Seo on the side of the road, opened the driver's door and got into the car. But he couldn't start the car. It was because Yoo Yeon Seo grabbed the door and hung on.

The manager got out and confronted Yoo Yeon Seo. However, Yeon Seo remained unfazed.

[Hey, let me give you a piece of advice as your peer.]

[What? You're going to give me advice?]

[You can't live like a dog and expect to not get hit by a stick.]

The manager, who had narrowed his eyes, pointed a finger at Yeon Seo. Despite the clear threat of physical violence, Yeon Seo spoke without backing down.

[If I get hit by a stick, do you think the person who hit me with the stick will come out unscathed? And living like a dog? Do you know that our house is currently a puppy training ground, you piece of trash?]

[Ha! You really have no respect for people. All you're good for is being the lapdog of the Jusung Group.]

[Isn’t that what those, who couldn’t be born from that lapdog lineage, say? How much do you get paid to be a manager? A million won? Are you able to live off of that, you worthless piece of sh*t?]

Translator's Note: Well, that escalated. I was definitely not expecting it. (?_?)
