The genius actor who brings misfortune (515)
The first question in the interview was:

[“How much acting practice do you usually do each day?”]

Lee Yeon-jae answered with a smile as if she had expected the question.

[“If I just count the time I spend fully concentrating, I think it’s about 6 hours. I used to do it for more than 10 hours, but I’ve cut it down a lot.”]

[“Is there a reason you shortened it?”]

[“Because I had to protect the script from my manager.”]

Lee Yeon-jae looked bewildered as the staff burst into laughter.

It was a face that said, ‘This isn’t a joke, so why are you laughing?’

He hesitated for a moment, then added:

[“Of course, I feel more at ease now compared to before.”]

He confessed that in the past, he felt a lot of pressure and compulsion not to bother others.

Of course, I still think that I shouldn’t be a burden, but I also say that the fun is greater than the burden these days.

[“Then what do you think about going to university?”]

[“Well, I have about a year and a half left, but I don’t have any immediate plans to go to college.”]

[“Why? Aren’t you looking forward to going to college, making friends, going on MTs, and things like that?”]

[“It’s a kind of romanticism that you can’t avoid when you think of college. I think I might regret not doing it later.”]

[“Yes. I’m worried that Yeonjae will regret it.”]

The voice of the PD asking the question was already a mystery in itself.

The moment Biyeon smiled happily at the voice that seemed to be completely wrapped up in Bambi.

Lee Yeon-jae smiled faintly.

[“But now I don’t regret it.”]

[“… … .”]

[“I think that no matter what choice you make, you will regret it someday.”]

So, you should take the path that will leave you with the least amount of regrets.

Lee Yeon-jae said that she thinks this path is the right one for her right now.

[“Even if I regret it later, I want to think that it was the best I could do at the time. If I just have that kind of belief, won’t it be okay?”]

[“That’s right. Yeonjae will do well.”]

It was a warm conversation.

However, the reactions of high school seniors and the general public were different.

-Bambi, please let me take the CSAT anyway.

-Okay, just come out and line them up and lay down a floor, please.

―Ah~! Lee Yeon-jae’s cushion is solid! I wish I had one more cushion (praying like a dog)

-If there’s anyone reading this who isn’t going to college, please take the CSAT.

Bambi is Bambi, and the college entrance exam is the college entrance exam.

Without even knowing that Lee Yeon-jae had seen these comments and vowed to herself, “I absolutely must take the CSAT,” numerous high school seniors left comments.

Aside from the fierce and desperate flow of comments, the interview continued.

[“From what we’ve observed, Yeonjae’s house is almost like a community center?”]

As the PD spoke, people’s names came out one after another.

‘I see, it’s the community center.’

The viewers nodded without realizing it.

There was also a scene where Sergio came over to play right before the interview, so it was understandable to feel that way.

[“Haha, um….”]

Lee Yeon-jae smiled awkwardly and then shrugged her shoulders.

[“I have a large family.”]

[“Yes. I think so.”]

The PD asked the next question in a cheerful voice.

[“So if you had to choose only one person from your family, who would you choose?”]

[“… … Seriously, why are you like this, PD-nim?”]

Lee Yeon-jae avoided eye contact.

The camera captured Ahn Jin-bae staring intently at Lee Yeon-jae.

[“Okay, Yeonjae. Who will you choose?”]

[“Ah… Okay. I’ll answer. Me.”]

[“… … .”]

[“… … .”]

[“Mr. Yeonjae?”]

[“This is PD.”]

[“yes?”]

Despite the PD’s flustered voice, Lee Yeon-jae continued to talk at a rapid pace.

[“I’ll choose PD-nim. I like PD-nim. My answer is PD-nim.”]

[“No, you have to choose from your family―.”]

[“We filmed together for 10 days. Then we’re family. PD, wouldn’t you be my family?”]

No answer came back.

And then out of nowhere a low quality video cut in.

The video was intentionally low-quality, as if it had been taken with a cell phone camera rather than a professional camera.

In the footage, which appears to have been taken in the dark of night, the PD is seen hurriedly entering the broadcasting station.

He sneaked into the studio and took away various documents and external hard drives.

[“PD! What are you doing?!”]

Immediately afterwards, a voice that sounded obviously theatrical was heard.

The staff acted as if they were trying to stop the PD by shouting, “You can’t do that!” and “Don’t do that!”

[“No! We have to burn this!”]

The PD shouted even while being dragged away by people.

[“Let Yeonjae do whatever she wants! Just let her do whatever she wants, Baekrok and all! Get off the air!!”]

The screams were filled with desperation, urgency, and the spirit of a madman.

It was such a creepy performance that I would have believed it even if you said it was a real actor.

Here, Lee Jeong-hyeon’s serious narration was added.

[“In the end, the PD was captivated by Baekrok. However, the remaining production staff and I insisted that the show had to go on air.”]

The viewers thought.

-You’re really crazy.

-Well, it’s not just a little crazy. It’s seriously crazy.

―Oh, but is it just me? The more I look at it, the more confused I get.

└You too? Me too!

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

―This concept in a public broadcast documentary? It’s so refreshing. LOL

Although it was real-time, the response was generally favorable.

In the first place, there were no profanities that would have been subject to review by the Korea Communications Commission, and although the expression “reincarnation of Baekrok” was used, it did not seem to have any religious meaning.

It’s just the result of a mad office worker. But… .

“haha!”

“This is fucking hilarious.”

There was a deep smile on the lips of those watching the documentary.

Yes, in the end, if it’s funny and entertaining, that’s the end of it.

PD’s strategy worked well.

In fact, when filming began, the PD tried to direct it with the typical concept that comes to mind when thinking of an actor documentary.

But while filming, I became a bit of a nerd, and more than anything, my instincts as a PD came to the fore.

‘This is a program.’

It is a variety show department, a culture department, and a place that creates programs, no matter what.

Programs should be fun and not boring.

Many TV documentaries over the years have been obsessed with drawing conclusions.

If you focus only on logical explanations and delivering clear messages, your program will end up being boring and dull.

Our conclusion in creating the program is ultimately… .

‘We have to make them communicate.’

It’s about letting the viewers draw their own conclusions.

There are no teenagers or people in their 20s in today’s TV documentaries.

The PD wanted to change that flow through this documentary.

Rather than just dealing with popular celebrities, I wanted to capture the image of the boys and youth within the celebrities.

‘I hope this will be an opportunity for people to talk more about each other’s lives.’

Even though there are differences between celebrities and ordinary people, there are points in his life that make us willing to empathize with him.

In order to make it easier for viewers to find such points, the lives of celebrities must be made light.

‘To fit the role of a clown.’

Using the word clown does not mean looking down on celebrities.

Clowns make people happy and joyful.

The documentary “In Search of the Origin of Baekrokdam” portrays Lee Yeon-jae as the reincarnation of Baekrok, making him slightly comical but also familiar.

At the same time, he showed his sincerity and passion that could not be hidden by the concept.

It wasn’t just celebrities who made a lot of money, lived in big houses, and were frugal and exemplary.

At least the PD didn’t want that.

With the words ‘God-born’ and ‘Miracle Morning’ becoming trendy, the lives of people who were already tired became even more tired.

I had no intention of listing Lee Yeon-jae’s ‘perfect’ appearances to those people.

This is because I didn’t want viewers to feel guilty when they compare their lives to those of celebrities.

The PD wanted to show how hard actress Lee Yeon-jae works, what kind of daily life celebrity Lee Yeon-jae leads, and what kind of pranks teenage Lee Yeon-jae gets up to.

To avoid getting bored, but to not stray from the essence, I came up with the concept of ‘Baekrok’s reincarnation’.

It was a rather bold concept that had not been attempted in existing public broadcasting documentaries.

But fortunately, it passed thanks to the PD’s well-seasoned plan and the very well-made finished product.

[“Then let’s move on to the next question.”]

Lee Yeon-jae calmly answered the PD’s questions.

When asked what her most precious memory was, Yeonjae replied, “First of all, it’s the recent fan meeting.” When asked when she last cried, she replied, “I think the last time I cried was when I fought with Bihyeok.”

And finally the question came.

It was also the last question of the interview, and it was also a question that Lee Yeon-jae answered with embarrassment for a long time.

[“When asked during an interview with BoX magazine if there was a moment in the past that she would like to go back to, Yeonjae said she would like to go back to when she was just born.”]

[“Oh, that’s right.”]

[“You said it would be best before you can walk. What is the reason for that? Is it so you can practice acting more?”]

The PD smiled and asked lightly.

As it was the last question, it was a question I brought up to lighten the mood.

However, Lee Yeon-jae surprisingly hesitated to answer, and her hesitant silence was broadcast as is in the documentary.

‘what?’

‘Is this a broadcasting accident?’

While everyone was wondering, Lee Yeon-jae on the screen opened her mouth.

[“At that time… I thought that. If I could go back in time with my current intelligence, it would be better to be born again. That would change everything.”]

[“Everything?”]

[“There are many things I can prepare for in advance. For example, when to enter a daycare center, or how to avoid accidents in advance.”]

It was a story about Lee Yeon-jae’s personal history that was not mentioned at all in the hour-long documentary.

When signing the documentary contract, there was a special clause stating that ‘misfortune’ and ‘accident’ would not be covered at all, so the PD and staff were collectively embarrassed.

However, Lee Yeon-jae’s calm confession had such an impact that it convinced even Team Leader Woo and led to the end of the broadcast.

He continued:

[“If I had debuted when I was younger and proven my worth as an actor, my parents might not have abandoned me.”]

[“Ah, that….”]

[“So if I hadn’t gone to the daycare center, the daycare teachers wouldn’t have had a hard time because of me.”]

[“… … .”]

[“The accidents that happened because of me… could have been prevented in advance. I wouldn’t have been kidnapped, and I wouldn’t have been stabbed. That’s why I said that.”]

The PD was speechless at the unexpected answer.

And what he said next was even more unexpected.

[“But not now.”]

[“yes?”]

[“I don’t want to go back to the past.”]

On the screen, Lee Yeon-jae was laughing as if she too was dumbfounded.

[“If that were the case, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I might have met Jinbae hyung as my manager, I might not have met Bihyeok or Haram, and I might have just known Jeonghyeon hyung as a senior.”]

[“I, I see. Oh, so that’s why you said you didn’t want to go back to the past.”]

[“Yes. Because our current relationship is so precious. But….”]

Clear laughter continued.

[“To be honest, I like the way I am now.”]

[“… … .”]

[“I never thought I would be liked by anyone. But now I don’t know. It might be a shameless thought, but….”]

Her thick eyelashes fluttered.

Lee Yeon-jae looked straight at the camera and smiled.

[“I like myself. That’s why I don’t want to go back to the past.”]

The video ended with that innocent, clear smile.

The screen was filled with white paint.

Lee Jeong-hyeon’s narration follows.

[“We agreed with his words not to look into the past, and decided to stop searching for the origin of Baekrok.”]

A shadow appeared in the white paint, revealing the shape of a white deer.

[“It doesn’t matter whether Baekrok’s origin was him or not.”]

[“What matters most to us is now.”]

One, two, three… dozens, hundreds of such forms were created.

A great number of white deer ran forward, jumping briskly.

It was a dazzling gait.

[“I intend to walk along the path following the white deer in my heart.”]

What would you do?

The documentary ended with a strange voice.
