Episode 75: Next Step

The last filming of .

The atmosphere on the scene was extremely serious.

From the director to the staff, they couldn’t take their eyes off Kim Ji-hoon, who was performing in the pure white snowy field.

Slowly, slowly-

Kim Ji-hoon walks through the snow with a red face.

A tiny human is walking in a huge snowfield, but for some reason, his figure looks huge.

This is Akdamun.

Prominent jaw muscles.

Limbs that move as if they were being pulled out.

The struggle of one man against the vast nature was keenly felt even in his fingertips.

Director Ko Jun-cheol, who was looking into the camera, slightly opened his lips.

“You’re crazy… … .”

He hugged his shoulders, feeling goosebumps.

The nation’s boyfriend, Kim Ji-hoon.

Who would look at the man in front of me now and think of that warm, model student image?

All the expressions and gestures that came to mind when I heard the name Kim Ji-hoon collapsed. And what stood tall on top of the ruins was a wild, giant tree that, though wounded and broken, had pierced the rock and reached toward the sky.

He looks out at the endless snowy field.

He swallows his saliva, his dry lips rustling.

The dialogue will come out soon.

The line that Kim Ji-hoon has to say here is the desperate words, “They’re all here. They’re all here.”

This was the line spoken by a man who had crossed the extremely dangerous ice field to report that a village located 1,500 meters above sea level was isolated by a blizzard, upon reaching the last hill.

The line itself is simple, but it requires a complex and intricate facial expression that reflects all kinds of sorrow and joy as if reflecting on the painful descent so far.

It was a scene where you had to say your lines with your face.

And Kim Ji-hoon finally said a word.

“Fuck. I’m going to die.”

It was ad-lib.

Kim Ji-hoon spat out a single curse and then laughed with his frozen face scrunched up.

A subtle laughter that is at once self-deprecating, challenging, and fearful.

The emotional richness contained within it elevated the hardships demanded by the film’s script to several levels higher.

Kim Ji-hoon walked up the snowy mountain silently with a frown on his face.

In a snowy field with no path, he makes a path with his whole body.

“Keeeeek!”

A loud shout burst out from director Ko Jun-cheol’s mouth.

He ran towards Kim Ji-hoon himself, trudging through the snowy field that reached up to his thighs.

He hugged Kim Ji-hoon, who was frozen cold, and lifted him up in a flash.

“You did it! You did it! Good job! Kim Ji-hoon!”

Kim Ji-hoon, who was heard high up, had a bewildered expression at first, but soon smiled brightly.

It was that harmless, bright smile that earned him the nickname “nation’s boyfriend.”

The Millip episode was uploaded to the channel.

It surpassed 500,000 views in just 24 hours and continues to grow.

The power of the world’s number one pop star, Millie Eretria, was that strong.

[Why the world’s top pop star fell in love with Korea]

[Korean indie singer who instantly got the joint performance that top Japanese stars had been longing for]

[Milliph. Korea is a country of geniuses]

Numerous nationalistic reckless channels have covered her.

Among them, the most popular video was the one announcing the joint performance between Millie and Sung Jin-hee.

In that video, the story of a famous singer from a neighboring country who put in all his effort to perform with Milleph was discussed in detail, while Sung Jin-hee, who is still an indie singer with little recognition in Korea, was portrayed as if she had it done very easily.

This video could be extremely disrespectful to the Japanese artist and to Sung Jin-hee, who has always proven her talent… … Is it Alba?

People rather like that kind of clarity.

Yeah~ Even if you guys try to die, you can’t do it, but we can do it even if we’re unfamiliar~

How thrilling is this?

I can’t help but watch it even while swearing.

As these videos featuring Millif became popular, it was only natural that attention would be drawn to the video in which she appeared.

This was the reason why the number of views for skyrocketed.

A lot of people watched the video.

At first, people pressed the video because they were intoxicated by patriotism or because they were curious about why Millie was there, but by the time the video ended, people’s eyes were moist.

The season when spring is in the air.

Millie and Seong Jin-hee singing around a campfire.

An impromptu piece that is slowly taking shape, humming along.

Whenever the mood suddenly feels gloomy, Lee Yong-won comes out with some clothes and the two change into them.

And then, all of a sudden, as if a god had come, a song just came out smoothly.

Really, it was a beautiful landscape, just like the picture.

– Thank you so much… … . It feels like we’re together… … .

– Sister Millif, your voice is so pretty!

– Seong Jin-hee? That person’s voice is crazy too.

↳ I really like Sung Jin-hee’s songs! You should definitely listen to !

– I have an unforgettable memory. It was when I went on a company outing when I was a college student. At that time, we lit a bonfire just like that, sat around it, and sang. At that time, there was a girl who sang really well. I felt good watching her, but also sad. Who will that pretty girl date? I will never be able to reach her. (Omitted) That girl is now the mother of my two children. I guess everyone has a partner. When courage is needed, you must be courageous.

↳ Wow… … . It’s such a beautiful story.

↳ No, Lee Yong-won, don’t be brave.

↳ Hahahahahahaha

↳ Hahahahahaha

– I had a time like that too. That was already 10 years ago… … . (omitted)

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Look at all the people writing down their own memories.

People’s reactions were also explosive.

Millief and Sung Jin-hee’s high-level singing. Even the sight of them improvising songs that weren’t released songs was beautiful, like a scene from a drama or movie.

There were many posts on SNS with links to and a few comments.

Among them, the article that received the most recommendations and retweets was surprisingly one that focused on Lee Yong-won, not Millip or Seong Jin-hee.

– Honestly, I was most impressed by Lee Yong-won. It seems like he doesn’t do much to choose clothes, but they all fit perfectly with the songs the two of them make. Excluding the two people who are making the songs over there, the person who listened to the songs the most carefully was Lee Yong-won. He’s mature and professional. He has a great sense, and his listening attitude is also amazing. It seems like Millief didn’t come to Korea to see Lee Yong-won for nothing. This man. He’s charming!

Now, Lee Yong-won was a true celebrity in South Korea.

It is not a star that rises and falls for a short time, but a trend that can never be ignored, consistently creating topics.

Amidst the attention of many people, Lee Yong-won and Shin Dong-wook’s brand, Cop & Tiff, gradually established itself as a brand that people remember and love.

The effects of the milliph were amazing!

Clothes that are selling like hotcakes.

Recently, the number of people who bought my clothes has finally exceeded 100,000.

I reached the 30,000 milestone at the end of last season’s sales, so with this new product, I’ve already had close to 70,000 new customers buy my clothes.

Thanks to that, I’ve accumulated a lot of level points.

The point earned for reaching 3,000 people is 1.

3 points each for reaching 10,000 and 30,000 people.

And 5 points for reaching 100,000 this time.

The total points accumulated so far have reached 12 points.

I didn’t really think much about how to use it this time.

‘Focusing on hair and design!’

Spend 1 point to raise your makeup from level 2 to level 3,

Use 4 points to level up your hair from level 2 to level 4.

I spent 6 points to level up the design to level 6.

Knowledge swirled in my head and my senses became vivid and tingly, as if eyes were at my fingertips.

“ah…….”

I let out a low sigh.

I felt more thirsty than satisfied.

Isn’t it so strange?

There was a time in the past when I thought that if I could just earn 5 million won a month, I would have no more wishes.

No. It’s funny to even say the word “era”. That was just a short while ago.

But now I’m making billions in sales with the clothes I design.

Even my true wealth is not simply money.

Design, hair, makeup. These are the skills that I could say were my real assets.

It’s such a great ability that you can boast, saying, “Even if I lose billions, it’s nothing more than making money again!”

I realized that if you have the ability, you don’t have to be afraid of money.

however…….

Yet I felt thirstier than satisfied.

no.

Rather, it was a thirst that came from satisfaction.

Just like when you eat something so sweet and delicious, you want to keep eating it.

More. I wanted to develop and expand my abilities even more.

I also raised my ideal type view, which is still at level 2, to level 3, and raised my hair, design, and makeup to the max level of level 10.

Just like Millie and Sung Jin-hee did with their songs, I also wanted to inspire people with my fashion.

Also, my hands were itching to try out new designs. Should I prepare the FW season clothes right away?

Just breathing made my nose and mouth feel sweet.

The passion never waned and continued to surge forth.

It was when I couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped up even though it was late at night.

Booooooo-

The phone rang.

What? Another classmate whose name is vague?

After the Millip video was uploaded, I was getting so many calls from people I had lost contact with that it was almost neurotic.

It’s not like they have anything to gain by calling now, they just call because they’re happy to see you, but it’s still late now…

I frowned and looked at my phone, only to see a familiar name appear on the screen.

“Hey! Jihoon!”

– brother!

Our actor brother, Kim Ji-hoon, called me over, very happy to see me.

Could it be because of his new acting style? When I first saw him, Kim Ji-hoon’s voice, which was full of anxiety, has now become quite firm and mature.

Now, I guess I’ve become the actor I always wanted to be.

Yes, this kind of change is good. We work together and grow together.

Kim Ji-hoon said in a bright voice.

– Hey, what’s the fuss about these days? Is doing really well too?

“Well, I was lucky.”

– Hey. Luck. It’s skill. Skill! But do you know that, hyung?

“what?”

– Here’s another chance to show off your skills, hyung!

“What is it?”

– Our trailer has been released. Have you seen it?

“Oh!? I have to see it right now.”

My heart was pounding.

The memory of Kim Ji-hoon doing a live show to change his acting style already feels like a vague memory.

The results are finally coming out!

But then Kim Ji-hoon suddenly said something.

– Oh, bro. Don’t look at that.

“Huh? Why?”

Then, Kim Ji-hoon suddenly said this in a crawling voice.

– Hey… Hey, brother. Can you come to my house now?

“suddenly?”

– No… … That’s… … . I also have to monitor the trailer, but I’m so nervous that I can’t do it.

“Huh?”

– Hyung. Let’s watch it together. If you have time, then now. Or tomorrow or the day after, whenever that’s fine! Hyung, when you have time! Ugh… … Seriously, I usually wouldn’t say things like that. This time, I’m so nervous I think I’m going to die… … .

Kim Ji-hoon’s voice, which was almost like a plea, was trembling with nervousness. It was just like a student who couldn’t check the test results… … . He sounded really childish.

hmm.

I quietly revised my evaluation of Kim Ji-hoon a little.
