135. 100 Questions and 100 Answers
“Today, I will stop by the company, visit the shop, and then take pictures.”
The manager behind the wheel tells us the schedule for the day.
“Uh… But why are you going to work?”
On the day of the 100 questions and 100 answers shoot.
I knew there were no acting classes, so there seemed to be no reason to stop by the company.
“Ah. “The team leader said he would take a look, so I don’t think we will talk for long.”
“Did I do something wrong?”
The High One probably didn’t call me because he was bored.
When I asked with a lot of food in my body, the manager smiled and shook his head as if saying no.
“No. You said you were just having a quick chat, so there won’t be anything special. “I think he will probably talk about the controversy surrounding school violence and future activity plans.”
“I see…”
I rested my chin on the window and stared at the Han River beyond the bridge.
I am familiar with this scene as I attend acting classes together every day.
I got out of the car and went into the office building with my manager.
“Wait a minute.”
The manager knocked and entered the seminar room and motioned for me to come inside.
The casting team leader is wearing a suit today as well.
I swallowed my saliva and bowed my head.
“Ah~ Taemin, welcome. “Please sit here.”
The team leader who offered me a chair sipped coffee in a paper cup and looked at my face carefully.
“What are your activities like these days?”
“Ah… I just… Think it’s okay.”
“Did you look at the reaction to the web drama?”
“Yes. “I saw it.”
Half of the compliments are about the face.
Half of the costs related to school violence are not justified.
“The reason I called Taemin today is because I wanted to talk about the response to school violence.”
“Yes.”
“After today’s filming is completed and the edited video is uploaded, an official letter will be sent out from our side.”
They say they will not suppress it immediately.
I had a question and asked the team leader.
“Is there any reason not to do it now?”
“Anyway, it doesn’t take that long to complete all the editing. “If you film it right away, it will be up within a week.”
He flicked the end of the paper cup with his hand and smiled.
“And we believe that the answer that Taemin submitted to us in advance can create sufficient synergy.”
“Is it synergy?”
I tilted my head because the two incidents did not match well.

“This is what Taemin submitted in advance. “I also inspected it.”
…I’m embarrassed.
I thought everyone would see it because it was going to be broadcast anyway, but when I thought that there were people in front of me who actually saw it, I felt embarrassed.
“Yes.”
“To be honest, there are some parts where I thought about revising.”
It was an answer sheet written together with Doa.
Although hardcore items such as marrying Luca were omitted, many answers related to closure were included.
“However, we thought it would be better to go in this direction with the character concept, so we decided to respect Taemin’s answer sheet as much as possible.”
“So you’re saying it’s okay to do what you wrote there?”
“Yes. Taemin, you just need to reveal without filtering that you are interested and sincere about that field.”
As I was writing this, I wondered if this would work with Doa or not.
On the contrary, they told me to do whatever I wanted so comfortably that I felt embarrassed.
“Yes…”
“After the video is uploaded, there probably won’t be much left in the three months we signed in advance.”
Now, about 50 days have already disappeared.
Now that I look back, I realize how short three months were.
“If I participate in a new project here, it will probably be the last time.”
The team leader clasped his hands together and looked straight into my eyes.
“How. Have you ever thought about extending your contract?”
“Uh… Still good…”
It was a similar question to asking if the book was interesting after only reading the prologue.
I was not given time to gauge my aptitude or feel my popularity.
When I first signed the contract, I thought 3 months would be a long time.
As for the game, I felt like I couldn’t even complete the tutorial.
“Then, I ask you to think carefully about it from now on. “We also need to prepare future plans for Taemin.”
Future plans.
If I were to continue doing this, I thought it would be impossible to return to school.
“Of course, we will have to wait until the reaction from this interview to find out.”
His voice was full of confidence.
“We value Taemin’s potential very highly.”
“…I guess I’m not good at acting.”
I rolled my eyes as I remembered being squeezed by the teacher.
“hahahahaha. “That’s possible even though you didn’t apply to be an actor in the first place.”
The team leader stood up from his chair and grabbed my left shoulder.
“Mr. Taemin. “Of course it’s important to sing well and act well.”
“In this industry, the ultimate talent you look for is popularity. “He is a person who has the ability to charm people.”
“And I feel that Taemin has those qualities.”
I don’t know what the evaluation criteria are for saying things like that, but for now, I nodded.
“Ah… Yes… Thank you.”
“Anyway. “A decision on extension must be made by the end of next month.”
“Yes.”
“You have a photo shoot today, so I hope you enjoy it, and I have another meeting, so I’ll go first.”
“Thank you.”
I got up from my seat and bowed my head again, and the manager took me back to the car.
“You didn’t say anything, right?”
“Yes. “Just take good pictures.”
“I told you it was okay~”
This is my fourth time getting settings from the same shop.
The teacher who was always in charge looked at me and smiled.
“Oh my. “Are you here, Mr. Eojin?”
“You are a good man…”
I hate that name.
I’m not that kind of bastard.
“Wow. “I enjoyed watching the drama~”
That? That ridiculous, improbable drama?
I knew these were just empty words, but the desire to tackle them boiled up from below.
“How would you like me to feel today?”
Actually, I had no knowledge of this area, so the manager who accompanied me conveyed the requirements to the teacher.
Unlike in the drama, the makeup was very plain.
It took very little time to do, and honestly, the only thing that seemed different to me was the color of my lips.
“Today… Something…”
I expressed my feelings while looking in the mirror.
“I feel bored.”
“Ah. “The manager asked me to keep it simple and not show off today.”
“I see.”
“Yes, yes. But, Taemin, you have such a good base, so this is enough to get you a good screen time.”
After I finished doing my makeup, the manager handed me a paper bag.
“What is this?”
“This is today’s outfit.”
“Can I wear this here and now?”
“Yes, yes. “There’s no place to change there separately.”
After going inside the fitting room, I checked the contents and called the manager.
“Are these the right clothes?”
“Yes, yes. That’s right.”
Do you really want me to wear this?
What was inside was a gray hoodie with no pattern at all and black sweats.
No. If you’re going to prepare this for me, just tell me to wear something like this.
I have a lot of them at home.
Anyway, when I got dressed as instructed and came out, the manager nodded and handed me a glasses case.
“Please write this too.”
“…I don’t wear glasses?”
“There is no prescription, so just wear it.”
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, I was caught up in the feeling of wondering if this was really okay.
No. That’s right… This… Just…
It’s the look of someone who is a repeat student!!!!
“…How is it?”
When I turned around in front of the manager, he gave me a thumbs up.
“Is it perfect?”
This is… Perfect…?
Giving up on understanding, I just nodded that I understood and got into the car heading to the studio.
Unlike the last drama, this is a set just for me.
Because we just sat and talked, the space wasn’t that big.
“Hello.”
When we opened the door and went inside, about four people, presumed to be staff, came rushing towards us.
“Hello! Taemin! “My name is Taeho Kang, and I am the channel PD.”
“Ah. Yes. Hello.”
“Please take care of me. Just do what you saw on our channel. “If we ask you a question, please feel free to tell us about it.”
A truly concise and easy explanation.
I sat down on the white chair in the middle and looked at the camera in front of me.
The staff behind the producer begins to ask questions one by one.
[What is your name?]
“My name is Taemin Han.”
[How old are you?]
“I am twenty-four years old this year.”
I felt a bit frozen at first, but as the questions progressed, I gradually felt more comfortable speaking.
[What are you most interested in these days?]
“Lu… I like Luka-tan!”
Ah. Wait for a sec.
I had no intention of adding land.
I instinctively called her by her full name, and an earthquake occurred in my pupils at her embarrassment.
I wanted to film smoothly in one shot.
Producer must have noticed that I was flustered and gave me a thumbs up to show that it was okay.
Really…? Is this okay?
[What song do you listen to often these days?]
“I listen to Closer’s… Boundary… often…”
Ah. I don’t know.
Let’s just do it.
I still can’t understand why people are so excited about videos like this.
