The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

He had seen many movies and dramas from the year 2207 that had scenes similar to his current situation.

‘So this is why they skip classes.’

It was not like a scene from a youth drama where he would run away from the teacher after skipping class. He was just staring blankly at the scenery outside the road while riding in the van driven by Itaegyeom, but he didn’t feel bad being outside during the time he was supposed to be preparing for the shooting.

“Where did Yeon Seo go?”

“Huh? I don’t see him.”

A few minutes after Yeon Seo disappeared, people noticed his absence.

“Has anyone seen Yeon Seo?”

“He went outside a while ago.”

“Really? He doesn’t even smoke…”

A staff member went outside. All the other cars were there, except for Yeon Seo’s van. The staff member came back inside with a nervous look.

“Uh… Yeon Seo’s car is gone too?”

“What?”

“Maybe he ran away… That can’t be, right?”

“No way.”

They thought Yeon Seo knew how to separate work and personal matters, even if he had a bad temper.

“…He’s not answering? Huh?”

They called Yeon Seo’s manager, Itaegyeom, but only heard a long ringing sound.

(The customer cannot answer the phone…)

“His phone is off?”

The staff members murmured.

“What’s going on?”

After that, Yeon Seo rolled around in his bed at home for two days.

“Home is the best.”

His phone rang intermittently, but he ignored everything except for the calls from Lim Seunghyun or Itaegyeom.

But maybe he should answer this one?

“Hey, President Han. What’s up?”

(What’s up? What do you mean, what’s up? Don’t tell me you don’t know what’s going on?)

“Um, I do know. I have a plan, you know.”

(A plan? What plan? What are you thinking? Itaegyeom, why isn’t he answering?!)

Itaegyeom, he’s becoming a great slave. Actually, he wasn’t ignoring the calls because Yeon Seo told him to, but because he was afraid of the president and the director… Yeon Seo smiled satisfied. The president he was listening to sounded like he was about to explode.

(Why are you laughing!)

“Hey, I have a plan, okay?”

The president was frustrated by Yeon Seo’s consistent answer of playing dumb. He took a deep breath and decided to calm down and persuade Yeon Seo.

(Yeon Seo… I know you have some, some problems with your personality, but you always kept your work and personal matters separate. How can you suddenly run away from the shooting?)

“What problems do I have with my personality, President Han. I’m a bit hurt.”

(Oh, come on! Don’t be petty!)

In the end, the president yelled.

“Just stay put, President Han. I’ll take care of everything. Anyway, the shooting is delayed and the production staff’s wages are coming out of my money, so what.”

(The money is not the problem, it’s your reputation…!)

“Did I have any reputation left to lose? President Han, don’t get angry or I’ll go to JSENM, okay?”

(Then go! Go! I don’t need an actor who causes trouble like you!)

Ah, it didn’t work. Yeon Seo clicked his tongue and looked at the screen that was cut off. Anyway, when the situation was over, he would beg him to really go to JSENM.

Let’s see how the situation turned out.

Yeon Seo, suddenly disappeared from the ‘Virtual Reality’ set

‘Virtual Reality’ Yeon Seo, suddenly refused to shoot and disappeared… Shooting completely stopped

Broadcast station, “Yeon Seo’s disappearance, regrettable”… ‘Virtual Reality’ canceled

The entertainment news was almost filled with Yeon Seo’s story and

-Yeon Seo again? He’s so hot with scandals and accidents (19.01.30)

-He was quiet for a whileㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, he’s really crazy

-He must have a fun life, doing whatever he wants

-How long do you think he’ll be gone?

-I was enjoying Virtual Reality, what is this;;

The community reaction was the same.

Yeon Seo, sent a proof of content to the production company of ‘Virtual Reality’, Uri Pictures.

The actor who suddenly disappeared, his attitude was bad… ‘Virtual Reality’ production team’s expose post becomes a hot topic

Yeon Seo, ‘Virtual Reality’ shooting attitude controversy… To a fellow actor, “You’re vulgar”

Anyone could see that it was an intentional media play, did the production company and the broadcast station side fire the first shot?

But what they overlooked was that no media play could

‘It won’t work on me.’

Match the firepower of Yeon Seo’s SNS posts.

Y__Yeon Seo

Ahㅋㅋ I wouldn’t have done it if I knew it was a plagiarized dramaㅋ

Before you express your regret, why don’t you look back at the situation slowly?

Let’s see how long it takes for an article to come out. Yeon Seo laughed slyly and refreshed the page.

Yeon Seo, who suddenly disappeared from the set, posted his position on SNS… “Virtual Reality is a plagiarized drama”

‘Virtual Reality’ is plagiarism? A hopeful student’s appeal post belatedly becomes a hot topic

Yeon Seo, “I wouldn’t have done it if it was a plagiarized drama”

The reaction came almost immediately.

***

Hwang Mijeong, the writer of ‘Virtual Reality’, took her hands off the keyboard. She felt like she couldn’t write anymore.

‘Virtual Reality’ was postponed indefinitely. First of all, there was no lead actor, and the plagiarism public debate post that seemed to be buried was blown up by Yeon Seo. There was also an opinion to go with Yoon Haneul as the center without Yeon Seo, but the biggest investor was Yeon Seo.

Eventually, they just waited and everything stopped.

‘If only he didn’t post that…’

Hwang Mijeong called Jeong Dahee. Jeong Dahee answered the phone right away, unlike before.

“Hello.”

(You!)

Hwang Mijeong shouted at the beginning, making Jeong Dahee’s shoulders flinch.

“Yes, please speak, Writer Hwang Mijeong.”

(Do you know how much I lost because of you, tens of billions of won, are you ready to take responsibility? Are you ready to be kicked out by the broadcast station and the production company?)

“…”

(I warned you that I would make you unable to step on this field, right? Not just this field, but your remaining life will be miserable, so watch out. How dare you touch me?)

Jeong Dahee laughed bitterly. How can a person be so shameless?

Kim Sangjun from Uri Pictures apologized half-heartedly, pushed by the situation, not a sincere apology that he made with all his heart… Hwang Mijeong never apologized sincerely even once.

“Writer, I’m recording this. I recorded the previous call too.”

(What, what?!)

Hwang Mijeong was startled and tried to hang up the phone. But her pride didn’t allow her to run away.

(What are you going to do with the recording? You know this is illegal wiretapping, right?)

“Wouldn’t you have more to lose than me, a ‘mere hopeful’?”

Hwang Mijeong clenched her mouth. It sounded like she would release the recordings if she had to.

“I’ll hang up now. Don’t call me again.”

Jeong Dahee sighed after hanging up the phone. She thought she couldn’t be more disappointed…

‘Virtual Reality’ gate opens… Hwang Mijeong followed by Park Jihae and Kim Okseon, one after another plagiarism suspicions

‘Jicheongchun’ writer Park Jihae sued for defamation by the victim of plagiarism

‘Plagiarism suspicion’ writer Park Jihwan belatedly attempted to settle

It was good that the other victims who were wronged were also brought to light thanks to her. She knew the despair she felt when she realized she was plagiarized, so she hoped their grievances would be resolved.

‘If it wasn’t for Yeon Seo…’

Would the situation have gotten this big?

“Hello, Writer Jeong Dahee. I’m Park Cheonga.”

“Hello.”

“First of all, thank you for accepting my interview request.”

Jeong Dahee agreed to meet a reporter for an interview. He was the one who persistently asked for an interview, saying that he had to change the plagiarism awareness and promised to write a transparent article.

She answered in detail the questions about how she found out she was plagiarized, and the emotions she felt at that time.

“What are you going to do from now on?”

“I’ve already contacted a law firm, and if they don’t show any intention to settle, I’ll file a copyright dispute.”

“I see, I hope it goes well.”

Park Cheonga said sincerely.

“Yeon Seo’s SNS post made the situation bigger, right? Did you know about it?”

“Actually…”

She was about to say something, but closed her mouth.

[It would be better not to reveal the fact that our lord was involved from the beginning.]

There was also a penalty clause, so it seemed like he planned it because of the penalty, and Yeon Seo didn’t want to reveal that he helped in advance.

But…

‘Is it right to keep my mouth shut like this?’

It was true that he received too much help. He introduced her to a law firm through Lim Seunghyun and didn’t pay any cost. It was also thanks to Yeon Seo’s plan that he deliberately made the situation bigger and made her get this much attention.

‘Would this storytelling be okay?’

Jeong Dahee, she was also a writer. She quickly improvised.

“Actually, I got a call from Yeon Seo after I posted on the board.”

“Really?”

“Yes, he saw the plagiarism suspicion post. He contacted me to confirm if it was true.”

Park Cheonga’s eyes sparkled.

In fact, the reason why Yeon Seo suddenly disappeared was mostly ‘Yeon Seo being Yeon Seo.’ Or they said he forced the plagiarism appeal post to fit the situation of running away from the set without permission.

But he confirmed the truth first? This changes the story.

“So, what happened?”

“He listened to my story and said he got it, and then hung up. But the next day, the disappearance article came out.”

“Oh my…”

“At first, I was like, what? He only contacted me to confirm? And I was disappointed…”

So. It didn’t matter if he wasn’t involved ‘from the beginning’, right? This much… wouldn’t it be okay? Jeong Dahee tried to control her expression.

“I didn’t expect him to blow up the case like that. It was a great favor to me.”

Jeong Dahee looked at Park Cheonga with a touched expression. Park Cheonga was possessed by some kind of mission to report this fact right away.

***

“This is not it.”

Yeon Seo frowned as he received the pouring calls.

(President Han Juno) Yeon Seo. I was short-sighted

(President Han Juno) I should have known that your personality changed because of your memory loss

(President Han Juno) You’re not really going to Juseong’s side, are you? I was wrong

(President Han Juno) Please answer the phone

President Han kept calling him every hour and nagging him…

(Park Minwoo) I wondered why you mentioned Writer Hwang before

(Park Minwoo) You had a plan, bro!

No, that’s not it.

Yeon Seo sighed deeply. He just wanted to peel off one layer of his image as a ‘rude and crazy bastard’ and make people think ‘he’s rude but sometimes he does good things’.

Yeon Seo, he had a reason for his disappearance… He confirmed the truth with the victim of plagiarism

As expected, ‘the hope of the rookies’ Yeon Seo, made the shooting disappear for the sake of the wronged victim

Yeon Seo, contacted the aspiring writer first to confirm the truth… An action that neither the production team nor the broadcast station did

They made him look like a dark knight who stands up for the people. Who did this?

He had to keep his image of being rude and ill-mannered if he wanted to live a sweet life in the entertainment industry. It’s too easy for a good image celebrity to go to hell. It’s better to have a bad image from the start.

-Wow, is this real?

-Would the situation have gotten this big without Yeon Seo?

└rl

-He had a big picture, awesomeㅋㅋ

-I see Yeon Seo differently

-This is how you use a golden spoonㅋㅋ

-Other actors who are in plagiarized works should reflectㅋ

But looking at the public opinion now, they were almost deifying Yeon Seo. Don’t use me to hit other actors…

“Did you properly warn Writer Jeong?”

“Yes. You said not to tell that you were involved ‘from the beginning’.”

Hey, Lim Seunghyun, you were aiming for it too. Yeon Seo narrowed his eyes.

“Well… The situation has already happened, do you want to see Writer Jeong? She really wants to meet you.”

Lim Seunghyun avoided his gaze. Yeon Seo stared at him for a while and sighed.

“Let’s do that.”

It was already a done deal, as Lim Seunghyun said. Yeon Seo got up from his seat.
