Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 74

“Hello! I’m actor Lee Seo-jun!”

-Hi, seo-jun!

As Seo-jun smiled brightly, groans of admiration erupted from everywhere.

His face was also close-up on the screen installed behind the stage.

When Da-jin noticed the screen, he tapped Seo-jun, and he turned his head.

Everyone laughed as they saw Seo-jun’s back of the head on the big screen.

“Let’s have fun today!”

-Yes!

Da-jin held up a square cue card with the order of the event. So-yeong and Seo-jun sat on the chairs prepared in advance.

“First of all, you said Seo-jun sings well, right?”

-Yes!

“Then, shall we start with a song?”

Seo-jun, who had been preparing, picked up the microphone and stood up. He didn’t know what song would come out, but Uncle Chan said it was a song Seo-jun knew well. It must have been a song by Brown Black or a famous song.

Music came out of the speaker. Ddadan-ddadan-

Ddadan-ddadan?

Seo-jun tilted his head at the intro that flowed out.

The fans also tilted their heads and looked at the screen, then burst into laughter.

Seo-jun turned his head heavily at the roar of laughter from the audience.

-Playing is the best!

On the big screen, familiar characters were running around.

There were lyrics written below, but he seemed to know what song it was even without the lyrics.

It was the theme song of an animated movie popular with children.

Da-jin and So-yeong were so amused that they shed tears and pounded the floor. Seo Eun-chan also covered his mouth and laughed.

Looking around at the people laughing, seo-jun casually opened his mouth to the microphone.

“Playing is the best!”

He sang well, but he was fierce.

That fierceness was directed at only one person.

Seo Eun-chan shivered at the fierceness that poured out on him. His nephew seemed to be a genius who could act with just the atmosphere.

Seo Eun-chan’s prank was not his, but the request that received the most votes on Seo-jun’s fan cafe.

As the song progressed, the fans, Da-jin, and So-yeong sang along. Seo-jun soon threw away his fierceness and sang cheerfully.

Well, he sang it often in kindergarten.

It was a bit awkward to sing it as an elementary school student, but it seemed fun to sing it after a long time.

“Okay! Applause!”

Cheers poured out. Seo-jun scratched his cheek and sat on the chair.

“Next is the time to answer the questions that the fans wrote.”

“Okay.”

The staff brought a box full of papers with questions written on them to the stage.

Seo-jun put his hand in and stirred it, then took out one paper. Da-jin read the question as it was written.

Some fans were hoping that their question was picked, and some fans were listening to Seo-jun’s answer.

Seo-jun answered each question sincerely.

The fans’ interest in each question and Seo-jun’s feelings for acting in each answer were felt.

The meaningful question time was nearing the end.

“Oh, this is too harsh.”

Da-jin shook his head as he read the last paper Seo-jun picked.

Seo Eun-chan, who couldn’t take his eyes off the stage for a moment, turned his head and looked at the planning team leader.

The planning team leader shook his head hastily.

“We filtered everything out.”

“But, what kind of…”

Before Seo Eun-chan could swear, Da-jin opened her mouth.

“Do you like mom or dad, seo-jun?”

At that question, laughter erupted from the audience. Some had serious expressions as if it was too harsh a question, but they didn’t hide their twitching lips. Among them was the questioner. Da-jin and So-yeong also looked at Seo-jun with curious faces.

Seo-jun’s eyes twitched like he had never seen before. Everyone couldn’t help laughing at the agitation that was enough to show on the screen.

It was a mean question for a young actor like Seo-jun.

Once again, seo-jun’s gaze turned to the back. He saw Seo Eun-chan laughing.

Seo Eun-chan felt like he made eye contact with Seo-jun and stiffened his face belatedly, but Seo-jun had already seen it.

‘The fans who liked me wouldn’t ask such a question, so this is Uncle Chan’s doing!’ Seo-jun, who didn’t know the fans’ hearts who wanted to see the cute side of the actor, came to a strange conclusion and answered with a bright smile.

“I like Uncle Seo. Eun. Chan. the best!”

“Oh! Not mom or dad, but uncle? Uncle must be very happy!”

Everyone laughed at Seo-jun’s evasion, and Seo Eun-chan hoped that his noona and brother-in-law wouldn’t hear Seo-jun’s answer. Ahn Da-ho, who was watching from behind, shook his head.

The question time was over and the time everyone had been waiting for came. The chairs were moved to the back and So-yeong and Seo-jun faced each other.

Da-jin spoke into the microphone and gave a brief summary of the play. Everyone was Seo-jun’s fan, so they watched the VOD, but they listened to Da-jin’s voice quietly.

It was the first and last time that Seo-jun and So-yeong faced each other and acted. So-yeong remembered Seo-jun during practice and on stage.

“He was more amazing on stage than during practice. But we can’t show that. It’s a shame, but he was amazing during practice too.”

As Da-jin’s explanation ended, so-yeong spat out her lines.

It was hard to immerse herself in the empty stage without any decorations or props, but she did her best.

She was most confident in this role, if nothing else.

“Blue Dragon! Blue Dragon!”

In front of everyone, seo-jun opened his mouth to the microphone. His hair and eyes didn’t change. He didn’t have horns or scales.

[(Pre)Blue Dragon Hatchling’s Weak Peer is activated.]

But his skills were the same!

[Thank you! Let me grant your wish!]

The fans shivered at Seo-jun’s voice.

It was different from when they watched the VOD. Of course, the VOD was impressive, but Seo-jun’s acting and voice that they saw in person seemed to shake their whole body through the speaker.

They understood why that high school student watched the same work eight times.

They were sorry they couldn’t see the play, but they were glad they came to the fan meeting.

[Hahaha!]

Everyone relaxed at the refreshing laugh. Euaaa- groans of admiration came out from here and there.

It felt like a cool breeze was blowing from somewhere.

For a moment, the fans who were immersed in the aftermath woke up.

Da-jin smiled brightly and said.

“Isn’t he amazing? I’ve never seen an actor who can act as well as Seo-jun.”

There were responses of agreement from everywhere.

“Thank you.”

Seo-jun bowed and sat down. Da-jin, who was looking at the cue card, opened his mouth.

“Unfortunately, part one ends here. We’ll take a break and continue with part two. Please wait a moment.”

-Yes!

Thanks to the announcement from Cocoa Entertainment, everyone relaxed and leaned back in their chairs. They didn’t want to miss a single move of Seo-jun, so they watched with full concentration and their whole body was stiff.

Some took out their phones and posted reviews of the first part of the fan meeting, and some took pictures inside.

“Wow. He was amazing.”

Lim Yeon, who was a fan of Brown Black and Seo-jun, spoke to the person sitting next to her with a flushed face.

The fan sitting next to her, Kang So-ra, nodded.

“There’s a world of difference between the VOD and the live performance.”

“But that badge is really cute.”

“It’s a bit expensive because it’s custom-made, but I’ll send you a picture, so try making it.”

“Thank you.”

Lim Yeon looked at Kang So-ra’s badge.

It was Seo-jun’s first CF, which was not broadcasted due to the quality and regulations.

The badge had a picture of baby Seo-jun from the Elephant shooting. She couldn’t take her eyes off his vivid cuteness even when she walked on the street.

“Oh, it must be a snack.”

Fruit lunch boxes were passed one by one from the next seat. Lim Yeon and Kang So-ra also received them and passed them to the side.

Lim Yeon opened the lid of her fruit lunch box. It was filled with seasonal fruits that were easy to eat.

“The fan meeting fee was cheap, and they also gave us snacks and Seo-jun’s signed stamps later. The rental fee here must be expensive too, it’s really nice.”

“They’re not doing it for money.”

“Well, if they were thinking of making money, they wouldn’t have done the play.”

Although they were strangers at first, the two had a pleasant conversation.

They continued to talk about the movies and dramas that Seo-jun starred in, when someone appeared on the stage.

There was still some break time left.

Kim Su-ryeon, the head of the PR team of Cocoa Entertainment, came up on the stage. The fans who were eating fruits and having fun conversations all looked at the stage. Kim Su-ryeon smiled slightly and opened her mouth.

“Hello, everyone.”

-Hello.

“I’m Kim Su-ryeon, the head of the PR team of Cocoa Entertainment. I came up on the stage to tell you some good news.”

Good news?

The fans tilted their heads.

Cocoa Entertainment was turned upside down by the news that came from the US a while ago.

An employee at the company told Kim Su-ryeon, and Kim Su-ryeon told Seo Eun-chan, the president.

Seo Eun-chan, who didn’t understand at first, searched his phone several times and finally understood.

Seo Eun-chan, who was good at playing jokes with Seo-jun, smirked.

Kim Su-ryeon, with a flushed face, said.

“This is something that Seo-jun doesn’t even know yet. I just got a call. I hope you will tell Seo-jun.”

The fans swallowed their saliva at Kim Su-ryeon’s serious expression. The noisy auditorium became quiet.

Kim Su-ryeon closed her eyes for a moment and opened them.

She thought again, and it was thrilling. The voice of the employee who was trembling and unbelieving came to her mind.

“Seo-jun has been nominated for the Notable Actor Award at the WTV Film Festival, wMA, in the US!”

…What?

There was a buzzing sound from everywhere. The US? WTV Film Festival? Award? Nominee? The fans slowly understood one word at a time and opened their mouths wide.

The fans who roughly understood listened to Kim Su-ryeon’s next words.

“Of course, the winner hasn’t been decided yet, but it’s a great achievement to be nominated for an overseas film festival. Please tell Seo-jun.”

Wow…

Wow!!!

The fans who were stunned screamed. Overseas, overseas film festival!

“Amazing!”

“I knew he would get it someday! But I didn’t expect it to be so fast!”

“This year’s overseas movie is that one, right?”

“Shadowman!”

“Jin Natra!”

“Well, they had to nominate him after seeing that!”

The auditorium became more noisy than before. The cheers of the fans reached the waiting room where Seo-jun was.

Seo-jun, who was filling up his sugar with chocolate milk, tilted his head.

Choi So-yeong and Lee Da-jin also filled their stomachs with sandwiches and juice.

“What’s that sound? What happened?”

“Nothing. Nothing.”

Ahn Da-ho, the stylist, and the staff, who had already heard the news, all smiled when they saw Seo-jun.

Zoop- Seo-jun opened his eyes wide as he sucked the chocolate milk. No, they’re hiding something.

Even though they all looked at Seo-jun, they acted cheeky and did their own things.

They reorganized the papers they had done and cleaned up the snacks.

It’s really weird!

“Wow. Seo-jun! A lot of fans came!”

The easiest prey came to him. Seo-jun smiled brightly at Seo Eun-chan’s appearance. Ugh, his spine was cold. He glanced around and saw them all shaking their heads.

“Uncle, are you hiding something from me?”

“What? What… no?”

He didn’t look him in the eye for that. Seo-jun turned his head around and glared at Seo Eun-chan.

He had already told Kim Su-ryeon to tell the fans that Seo-jun didn’t know. He couldn’t tell Seo-jun now.

“What? What is it!”

“Seo-jun. You have to go on stage now.”

Thanks to Ahn Da-ho, who opened his mouth at the right time, seo Eun-chan sighed with relief. As he was dragged out of the waiting room by Ahn Da-ho’s hand, seo-jun didn’t take his eyes off Seo Eun-chan. How many times did he get tricked by his uncle today!

Seo Eun-chan sweated coldly at the gaze of his nephew who kept looking at him.

“I’ll watch you. Uncle.”

Seo-jun clenched his teeth slightly.

“Hahaha. Come back well.”

The door of the waiting room closed smoothly. Choi So-yeong and Lee Da-jin, who had already come out, smiled brightly as they looked at Seo-jun.

They seemed to have heard something from the staff.

It doesn’t seem like a bad thing? Seo-jun looked at Choi So-yeong and Lee Da-jin and held Ahn Da-ho’s hand and headed to the auditorium.

“What’s going on? Hyung.”

“Um. A very good thing? The fans will tell you.”

When Seo-jun appeared on the stage, the fans screamed without any signal. Seo-jun, who was about to lose his mind at the cheers, held the microphone. His lips became pouty. They all know and I don’t!

“Uncle Eun-chan, Da Ho Hyung, and sisters, were hiding something, right? Do you know, fans? I don’t know?”

-Yes!

“What is it?”

-Congratulations on the film festival nomination!

-Congratulations!!

He tilted his head at the congratulatory sounds that came from everywhere.

The voices that spoke from everywhere were mixed and he couldn’t hear well.

Seo-jun asked again.

“What are you congratulating me for?”

-Look behind you!

That voice was especially clear. Seo-jun turned around and saw a large screen with a site on it.

He didn’t have time to read the site written in English, and Lee Da-jin’s voice came.

The voice that flowed from the speaker was bright, cheerful, and clear. It stuck in Seo-jun’s ears.

[Congratulations to Seo-jun, who has been nominated for the Notable Actor Award at the 39th WTV Film Festival.]

[(Photo) Jin Natra, seo-jun Lee/7 years old]

“…Wow.”

The only thing Seo-jun could say was that word at the site with his picture on it.
