Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 73

[Hello! We met the actors who starred in the play ‘Spring’ with actor Lee Seo-jun at Entertainment TV.]

“You did an interview. Isn’t it too fast, hyung?”

Bang bang! Seo-jun, who was stamping a white paper, looked at the TV screen with a surprised expression.

It was only two weeks ago that Seo-jun’s identity was revealed, but the broadcast was already on, when did they record it?

“It’s faster than the Wind Troupe, but it’s late if it’s because of the popularity. They probably wondered who to interview after watching the VOD that came out a few days ago.”

Ahn Da ho, who was sitting next to him, pushed a new paper and took out the stamped paper and put it on the living room floor so that the ink would not bleed and dry.

The living room was full of autographs with Seo-jun’s name and the blue dragon paintings that Seo-jun drew himself.

Of course, they were all stamps.

Bang! Bang!

The blue ink on the white paper sparkled.

[(Line/Production) Lucky Ink of Sea Slime-Low Grade-]

It is an ink made from sea slime that you can see only if you accumulate a lot of luck.

The superstition that luck is bestowed has become a reality.

The ink used brings unexpected luck.

How to use: Hold the ink bottle with both hands.

When he found and read [Sea Slime]’s life, he was a little disgusted. Because the ink was made from the slime’s sap.

He shivered as he saw the blurry image of people squeezing their whole body like wringing out a wet towel.

‘I’m glad. If I needed blood, hmm. I might not have been able to use it.’

Seo-jun wiped the sweat that didn’t come out and moved his hand again.

He hoped that the fans who received the autograph would be lucky, and he stamped each one with sincerity to increase the activation probability as much as possible, even though it was a low-grade ability.

It shouldn’t be crooked.

After a few minutes, seo-jun’s hand, which moved skillfully once on the ink and once on the paper, stopped.

Ahn Da ho looked at Seo-jun at the stamp that didn’t print. Seo-jun’s eyes were on the TV.

There was an acting academy on TV, and by the name, it was the academy that So-yeong and Da-jin attended.

He remembered the two people who always complained that the class was too hard.

On the wall of the stairs going up to the second floor, there was a picture of the two people with Seo-jun. The reporter interviewed the academy director, and soon Choi So-yeong and Lee Da-jin appeared on the screen.

[Hello. Actress Choi So-yeong, actor Lee Da-jin.]

At the reporter’s words, the two smiled with a shy face. It was two weeks since the play ended. Seo-jun smiled brightly at the faces of the two people he hadn’t seen in a long time.

[A few days ago, the DVD and VOD of the play Spring were released. The praise poured out to all the actors was amazing. There was also an opinion that ‘children’ should be removed from ‘children’s play’. I really enjoyed it too.]

The two smiled broadly and thanked the reporter for the compliment. People preferred to watch VOD on the TV at home, which was more convenient than the DVD that took time to ship.

Sales started and it wasn’t even 24 hours, but the download number already exceeded expectations. Both ‘Video Tree’ that sold VOD and Eunhasoo Center couldn’t help but be surprised.

Seo-jun and his couple also received the DVD, but bought the VOD. It was definitely more comfortable to watch on TV.

VOD came up with the name [Children’s Play ‘Spring’], and the short trailer edited by the play was free, from the first to the eighth episode, and the making film was paid.

Not only the play, but also the making film recorded a high download number.

[We didn’t know when we were on stage. We acted really happily without the burden of having to do well.]

Lee Da-jin’s words made Choi So-yeong nod her head.

[We also saw our play from the audience’s point of view and thought, did we do that well? I’m sure I’m acting there, I remember moving like that, but I was surprised that it was cooler and better than I thought.]

Seo-jun was immersed in the interview of the two and stopped moving his hand.

Ahn Da ho didn’t rush and watched the interview together. He felt a little bitter at the sight of Da-jin talking excitedly and So-yeong answering calmly with a shy face.

Seo-jun picked up the phone next to him.

“Da-jin! You’re on TV now!”

-Ah! Did you see?! No, was that today? Wait a minute!

***

[Title: What’s up with the blue dragon in episode 8?]

Did you only do CG?

No, it’s the same as the other episodes when I look again, but when I first saw it, I thought it was really alive.

Did my eyes go weird after watching up to episode 8 in a row. Or did the computer technology develop so that it looked like CG only when I first saw it?

-There is no such technologyㅋㅋㅋ

-But it’s really amazing. I also wondered where they brought the real dragon when I first saw itㅋㅋㅋ

-?? Is there such a thing? I didn’t see it.

[Title: How about this? Episode 8 was like this.]

I drew itㅋㅋ It felt like I hit my head on the Eunhasoo Centerㅋㅋ

(A picture of a dragon flying in the sky outside the Eunhasoo Center with its head inside the Eunhasoo Center.)

-ㅋㅋAhㅋㅋ

-I got itㅋㅋ

-I synthesized itㅋ(A picture of the dragon’s body and tail synthesized on the Eunhasoo Center picture)

-Isn’t this better than that dark one?(A picture of the body and tail looking like faint clouds)

=The theater where Spring went up is on this side. You have to do the opposite.

-How about this?(Picture.)

-ㅋㅋSomeone drew this as a cartoonㅋㅋ

“Hyung. Did you see this?”

Seo-jun held out his phone. Although he was sitting in a car seat and his arm didn’t reach the driver’s seat. Ahn Da ho met Seo-jun’s eyes in the room mirror and asked.

“What is it?”

“Spring cartoon!”

“Oh, I saw it. It was well drawn and cute, right?”

“Right? Especially, isn’t it cute that the blue dragon broke the wall of the Eunhasoo Center with his head to grant Spring’s wish? He even got a bump on his head.”

“That was popular.”

Today was Seo-jun’s first fan meeting in his life.

Seo-jun, who was sitting in the car seat, looked out the window and hummed a song, or read the review articles that he was so happy to win Seo-jun’s fan meeting on his phone, or read the articles that he had already arrived at the fan meeting place.

He lifted his head at the article.

“Hyung! There are people who have already arrived.”

“Really? It’s still a long way to start…”

“Hyung hyung! Is the weather okay today? The fan meeting place!”

“It’s a bit cloudy elsewhere, but the fan meeting place seems fine. It doesn’t matter anyway because it’s indoors, but it would be bad if the weather was bad outside while waiting. It worked out well.”

Seo-jun smiled happily at Ahn Da ho’s words. It was a relief that the weather was good.

Seo-jun rolled his feet with a pleasant tension. Ahn Da ho also smiled as he watched Seo-jun shake his legs here and there. It was because he heard from Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-jun that Seo-jun was so excited that he couldn’t sleep at all.

“Did you sleep late yesterday? How about sleeping a little in the car?”

“I’m fine! I’m not sleepy at all!”

As he said, seo-jun’s eyes sparkled. It was all thanks to the ability.

As he approached the fan meeting place, people wearing strange hats, clothes, and bags appeared.

Seo-jun, who stuck his nose to the black-tinted window, looked at the people.

“Ah. That’s Uncle Hee-sang’s. That too! It’s the same as mine!”

There was a goblin-shaped bag that Seo-jun took to the set when he was a ghost, a monster doll attached to the bag that he carried around during this play, and a metal badge attached to the hat. Seo-jun’s heart fluttered.

“Are they all my fans?”

“Looks like everyone’s going to the fan meeting.”

One fan couldn’t take his eyes off the badge on the bag of the fan ahead of him.

Hmm. Seo-jun frowned.

He couldn’t see it well.

He hesitated for a while, then tapped the fan’s shoulder and gestured this way and that.

He probably asked where he bought the badge.

The fan smiled brightly and seemed to tell him where he got it.

Soon, they were chatting and heading to the fan meeting place together.

Seo-jun smiled brightly at the sight of the fans.

He didn’t know what the badge was, but he was so happy that everyone was getting along!

Seo-jun’s car, which was running vigorously, stopped in the underground parking lot.

Seo Eun-chan appeared in front of Seo-jun, who got out of the car with a flushed face.

Seo-jun smiled broadly at the sight of Seo Eun-chan, who now looked good in a suit.

“Uncle!”

“Seo-jun is here! Let’s go up!”

Seo-jun, seo Eun-chan, and Ahn Da Ho headed upstairs. Seo Eun-chan explained slowly.

He saw the staff running around.

When they met Seo-jun’s eyes, they waved their hands or nodded.

“After the fan meeting, when you leave the theater, we’ll give the fans the autographs, DVDs, and gifts that Seo-jun made. We’ll also give them snacks during the break.”

“Okay!”

“Do you remember the order of the event?”

Seo-jun nodded at Seo Eun-chan’s question.

The three of them entered the prepared lounge.

Everything from water to drinks, snacks, and fluffy chairs was ready for Seo-jun to rest comfortably.

Seo Eun-chan looked at Seo-jun and said.

“Seo-jun, if you’re tired, tell me. You can use the break time whenever you want, as much as you want. Got it?”

“I’m fine! I’m super strong!”

“Still!”

Seo Eun-chan ruffled Seo-jun’s hair roughly. Seo-jun giggled.

Knock knock-

“Yes. Come in.”

At Seo Eun-chan’s words, someone opened the door and came in. Seo-jun smiled broadly at the familiar face.

“So-yeong noona!”

“Hi! Seo-jun!”

“When you show the Blue Dragon performance, it’s better to have actress Choi So-yeong than anyone else, right? And the MC is…”

“Ta-da! It’s me!”

“Da-jin hyung!”

Lee Da-jin appeared behind Choi So-yeong. It had been several weeks since the play ended.

The stormy interviews had subsided, and drama scripts had poured in.

The two of them, who had been working hard to choose, received an offer from Cocoa Entertainment.

Choi So-yeong and Lee Da-jin gladly accepted the offer.

“I’m good at broadcasting.”

Lee Da-jin’s words made Choi So-yeong and Seo-jun laugh. The three of them, who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, laughed and talked as if they were having a lot of fun.

***

Time passed and the theater was packed with people.

The lucky fans who got the tickets that sold out in five minutes after the reservation started waited eagerly for the fan meeting to start with anticipation on their faces.

“The MC will come out, right?”

“Seo-jun can’t do it alone, so they must have called someone.”

“I don’t know who it is, but I hope they don’t interfere.”

The fan meeting was a place where fans and celebrities got closer than concerts or plays. It was a time when laughter came out even if the celebrity didn’t try to be funny.

“It would be nice if it was Hwang Ye-jun from Bbl. He might be able to tell us stories about Seo-jun that we don’t know.”

“If that was the case, we wouldn’t be sitting here, right?”

“Anyway, I hope it’s someone with good chemistry!”

They all clenched their hands and prayed.

When the fan meeting started, the stage lit up and someone appeared.

“Hello!”

A boy stood on the stage.

They were bewildered by the appearance of a young MC, but then they realized that the boy was Lee Da-jin.

They had watched the fan meeting from episode 1 to episode 8, not to mention the making film, several times. They couldn’t miss Lee Da-jin, who was chatting and playing with Seo-jun.

“I don’t think we have to worry about the chemistry.”

“He’s a funny kid, too.”

Wow.

The exclamation that came out without me knowing echoed through the theater with the microphone.

The fans laughed at the face of the middle school student who was stunned.

“You came a lot. Oh, no, that’s not it! Hello. I’m Lee Da-jin, the MC of actor Lee Seo-jun’s first fan meeting. I don’t know if you know, but I was in the same play as Seo-jun!”

Seo Eun-chan, who was standing behind the stage, smiled.

“He’s doing well.”

“There are a lot of people, but he’s not nervous. Da-jin is good, too.”

The planning team leader, who planned the events of Brown Black’s concerts and fan meetings at Cocoa Entertainment, looked at Lee Da-jin, who was speaking skillfully, and his eyes shone.

Choi So-yeong and Seo-jun shook their heads at his words.

“Da-jin hyung is just talking without thinking. Right, so-yeong noona.”

“Yeah. It’s a good thing that’s not a bad thing. If it was, we would have been in trouble by now.”

“But Da-jin hyung seems really excited. He’s flying around.”

“He’s a bit of a show-off.”

While the two of them were whispering, Lee Da-jin spoke with an excited face.

“You all came to see Seo-jun, right? I haven’t seen him for a long time, either. Shall we call actor Lee Seo-jun quickly? Seo-jun! Come out quickly!”

They laughed at his friendly tone. Some fans followed Lee Da-jin and shouted ‘Seo-jun!’

It was a more cute feeling than expected because it was a child actor’s fan meeting.

The fans of Seo-jun, whose hearts seemed to burst with anticipation, and the staff, who were nervous because it was their first fan meeting with such a young actor, relaxed and smiled at Lee Da-jin’s words.

“Look. It’s totally different from the script.”

“Choi So-yeong, hurry up! Lee Seo-jun!”

“noona, let’s go quickly. I don’t know what to say.”

They told him to be comfortable, but… Lee Da-jun’s tone hit the back of the planning team leader and Seo Eun-chan’s heads, and they laughed. Seo-jun, who led Choi So-yeong, headed to the center of the stage.

When Seo-jun, whom they had been waiting for, appeared on the large stage, they screamed.

Seo-jun turned on the microphone he was holding and bowed.

[Seo-jun! I love you!] The fans holding the panels that were well visible, the fans wearing the clothes of the monster dolls that Seo-jun liked, and the fans shaking the monster dolls they bought as gifts for Seo-jun above their heads.

Even without using his ability, he felt their hearts as if they were right in front of him, and Seo-jun’s chest thumped.

“Hello. I’m actor Lee Seo-jun!”
