The Genius Actor Who Brings Misfortune (554) [Side Story]
“Military? You’re going to the military? Why?”
“yes?”
I was shocked by Representative Jang’s words. Then why don’t you go to the military?
When I looked at him in disbelief, Director Jang looked at Team Leader Woo in disbelief.
“Team Leader Woo, did you know too?”
“… … No. This is the first time I’ve heard of it either.”
If CEO Jang simply looked surprised, Team Leader Woo had a serious expression on his face.
He walked towards me with a serious expression on his face and sat down next to me.
‘What’s the mood?’
If anyone saw me, they’d think I committed a crime.
“Yeonjae, are you sure you’re serious about this?”
Team Leader Woo opened his mouth with a still serious expression.
“Then who jokes about the military…?”
“You know what I mean. You don’t have to go to the military.”
Team Leader Woo said that he naturally assumed you wouldn’t join the military.
Only then did I understand what Team Leader Woo meant.
‘That’s right.’
I guess I’ve never talked to my agency about the military before.
If you don’t have parents like me, you can avoid military service.
Not everyone who doesn’t have parents is exempt from military service, but at least I am.
This is because it applies to ‘those who have resided in a child care facility for more than 5 years.’
‘Well, if you can’t avoid going, it’s better not to go.’
There was no particular reason why I decided to go to the military even though I didn’t have to.
I never had the ridiculous illusion that I had to go to the military to become a real man.
Still, the reason I want to go is….
‘Because Hyung Jeong-Hyeon left.’
There was only one reason for that.
When I explained the reason, the expressions on the faces of the three people in the office, namely, CEO Jang, Team Leader Woo, and Jin Bae, became ambiguous.
“Really? That’s why you’re going to the military? Just because Jeong-Hyeon went to the military?”
“It’s not just that. I want to follow the path that my brother has experienced.”
When I responded to Representative Jang’s words with a start, Team Leader Woo sighed deeply.
“Ha, Yeonjae. I understand what you’re thinking, but Jeonghyun is a very special case.”
“I know. Hyung Jeong-hyeon couldn’t have gone to the military either, but he volunteered to go.”
Hyung Jeong-hyeon lost his parents in an accident when he was a student, and neither of his parents had any relatives.
He is someone who lived alone since he was young, although he did not go to an orphanage like me.
That person made his screen debut at the age of 19, and after serving in the military, he devoted himself entirely to acting.
‘I’m curious about my brother.’
I was curious about my 20-year-old brother, Jeong-Hyeon.
I wanted to experience for myself what kind of mindset my brother had when he decided to join the military and what kind of place the military was where he spent a year and a half of his youth.
‘The ability to make these choices is all possible by removing the black stone.’
If the black stone was still attached to my body, the military was a place I had to avoid by any means necessary.
Because it is an environment where you can get hurt or even die.
It was crazy to wake up early every day and practice acting for an hour and a half in a place like that.
The military isn’t a pension, so there was no place where I could wake up early and practice acting by myself.
‘What if I can’t properly remove the unfortunate factor?’
This isn’t a problem that will just end with me getting hurt.
Many soldiers serving with me could have been involved because of me.
The first thought that came to my mind as the black stone was removed was, ‘I can go to the military.’
When we were filming the drama “Killing Horn,” Hyung Jung once casually told me a story about his time in the military.
My brother’s face sparkled as he said that he couldn’t forget how delicious the snacks he shared with his classmates without telling his senior were, even after several years.
If I could indirectly feel that kind of brother, what could I not do?
‘If it were original, I would have been worried about Han Haram.’
Fortunately, Han Haram is doing well without me now.
Although her parents’ neglect continued, their only good point was that they fully supported Han Haram’s modeling activities.
Han Haram once said that taking pictures in foggy weather is fun.
Han Haram is more sincere than anyone else about photo shoots.
‘It seems like you’re actually interested in fashion.’
It was, of course, nice to see a child who seemed like he would die without me walk for his own life.
Well, I can’t say that I don’t feel a little disappointed… .
‘I’ve changed too.’
Even I, who lived only for the fog, who could have died for the fog, was able to make a choice for myself.
‘That’s the military.’
Becoming a soldier was, of course, not something to be taken lightly.
In order to protect the country, I had to give up my youth and make many unilateral sacrifices in the process.
The most representative example among them would be ‘time’.
Time to spend with my family.
When you become a soldier, you have to see your family’s faces rarely for a long time, one and a half years.
It will be very lonely, as it is not an environment where you can see fog when you fall asleep like before.
Even after thinking about these things, my desire to join the military at the age of twenty like Hyung Jeong-hyeon did not change.
“So I really want to go.”
Team Leader Woo and Director Jang looked confused as they washed their faces after my lengthy explanation.
Jinbae patted my shoulder with a look on his face that said he understood how I felt.
“I understand how you feel, actor. But you also need to understand your agency’s position.”
“Yes, I know that. Are you saying that it’s a waste to join the military now?”
Jinbae Hyung agreed with a bitter smile.
Wooyeon Entertainment was a pretty good company for artists, to the point that CEO Jang even gave them a special gift when they became adults.

I had a good relationship with my team members and also maintained a close relationship with Team Leader Woo, so do I need to explain further?
But apart from that, I must not forget that this was just a ‘best-selling product’ by Uyeon Entertainment.
‘It’s a loss for the company.’
Even if I look at my current situation objectively, the celebrity named ‘Lee Yeon-jae’ was a well-made product.
An actor with high recognition in Korea who can naturally transition from a child actor to an adult actor.
Even in the past 2-3 years, he has appeared in many famous foreign dramas as an extra or supporting actor, and in the latter half of last year, he starred in a movie with David.
If he could have left one more room here, it would have been an opportunity to secure a stable position in Hollywood, but it is hard for his agency to understand why he would say he would join the military at this time.
‘I won’t just stick to my position.’
I nodded obediently and opened my mouth.
“I have no intention of acting selfishly. I also know that the company has fully respected my opinions so far. If it is better for me to postpone my military service by a few years, I will do so as well.”
But military service doesn’t necessarily have negative effects.
Although losing a year and a half of time may seem like a big blow at first glance, it wasn’t a bad choice when looking at future activities.
Once he completed his military service, he was able to gain public favor, and above all, the image transition was likely to be more natural.
Above all… .
“Wouldn’t it be nice if the works came out one after another so that it wouldn’t even feel like a military uniform?”
I was an actor.
Depending on how you spend the first half of the year, the remaining year and a half could be completely different.
It can create a reaction like, ‘What? Didn’t he go to the military?’
Team Leader Woo frowned at my words.
“But the time left is too short to prepare for military service.”
“It’s not short at all. There’s still half a year left.”
Last winter, I barely escaped from misery.
Han Haram escaped the death that always followed him, and both Han Haram and I welcomed the new year without dying.
‘I can live the rest of my life independently.’
No one can understand more than I what a great miracle this is.
“I understand your position. I will discuss it with the CEO and talk to him further.”
“Yes. Thank you for understanding.”
“But until then, don’t make any rash decisions. Okay?”
“Don’t worry. I won’t cause any accidents.”
“Little finger walk.”
“… … Team leader, I’m twenty years old.”
“Walk.”
under.
I held out a little longer as a sign of defiance and eventually crossed my little fingers.
‘I guess everyone really looks at me like I’m a kid.’
I couldn’t believe that I was still doing this as an adult.
I’m an adult who can drink alcohol, so isn’t this too much?
‘Of course I can only drink 3 glasses…’
But drinking is drinking anyway. It’s fun.
In the end, I pouted my lips, my pride hurt by having to walk on her pinky.
“Then let’s say you enlist in the military in the second half of the year as planned. Let’s also say you film so many works that you don’t even feel like you’re in the military.”
“yes.”
“If that happens, it’s going to be a really busy first half of the year. I’m going to be out of my mind. I’ll have to film several projects at once.”
Can you handle it?
Team Leader Woo’s sharp voice echoed throughout the room.
I’ve shot a lot of different pieces over the years, but I’ve never shot multiple pieces at once.
This was a very rare case, considering that actors usually prepare for two or three works at the same time.
I answered more confidently, knowing that it was the result of my agency’s consideration to help me focus on acting.
“I’m looking forward to that too. I’m sure it’ll be crazy.”
When I answered with a smile, Team Leader Woo raised both hands as if he had lost.
“Oh, I understand, I understand. Then I’ll find the music show MC I mentioned earlier and the new director’s work and give it to you. Oh, but I still have to film at least one overseas work.”
Because the movie “Ilya” was so successful, the argument was that if he went into the military without doing anything, any international recognition he had built up would disappear in an instant.
Overseas productions often involve traveling back and forth by plane, and dramas are usually produced in seasons, so the schedule is often long to participate in.
‘The waiting time alone is no joke.’
Taking that into account, I had to find just the right overseas activity.
It wasn’t easy. Fortunately…
‘It means that our team members are good at their jobs.’
That’s why it was important to work with people who were good at their jobs.
‘It turned out better than I thought.’
I was worried that what would happen if my agency strongly opposed it.
It was at that point that I was humming to myself.
“That’s right, Yeonjae.”
Team Leader Woo, who was gathering documents, suddenly raised his head.
“Did you tell your fans that you’re going to the military?”
“Of course I couldn’t tell you. How could I tell you something that wasn’t discussed with the company? But I was starting to get a little carried away.”
“when?”
I answered with a grin.
“On my birthday! I was going to tell you as a surprise.”
“… … .”
“Wouldn’t Biyeon be surprised? It’s a bit of a surprise gift.”
Just imagining it made me laugh out loud.
But what is it?
There was no answer to my question.
“Why are you all looking at me like that?”
“I just thought that it wouldn’t be easy to become a raincoat.”
“…?”
