To find out Bae SeJin's current status... surprisingly, just do an internet search.'Lee SeJin.'His profile already appears at the top.TL/N: It means that his profile is one of the first results that appears on the internet search engine he is using. This indicates that he is a very popular actor.-Lee SeJin (Film Actor)Latest film: Hippocampus (15. 12. 20XX)He is a movie star with a high stock price at the moment.Going through his entire filmography, an outstanding lineup appears with no less than 2 million.If you like watching movies, you must have heard his name at least once.[Oooh, but hadn't he filmed a drama?]He probably didn't do it on purpose. I think he has meticulously managed his work since he was a child actor.Of course, his name value is high. Considering the current situation where actors are more valued than idols, he's almost like a TeSTAR member.TL/N: While the most popular actors earn more than idols in general, TeSTAR is such a recognized group that each member's earnings are higher than those of other idols and are almost on par with an average popular actor (not the top most highly rated actors, as their earnings would still to be higher than theirs).He seems to have nothing to wish for... but what is mentioned after his filmography is the problem.Agency: Dream K CompanyIt's the same agency he had before. The one that comes down to his rescue after totally neglecting the actor as a child and spread negative rumors during contract renewal season.'It must suck.'Instead of taking a break to protest against the agency here, it seems that after a brief reshuffle after a child role, he got other jobs right away.Instead of a long hiatus, he built a solid career-.And although the actor is mysterious, the agency sells the name 'Lee SeJin' on media and social networks.I touched my chin.-It'll be easy.[What?]Because it means that the security of their schedule is poor.Obstacles to getting information are low because there are some people who sit in front of the actors' accommodations or agencies as well as they do with idols.'It's rice.'TL/N: 'It's rice' is a phrase koreans use as slang to say that something is 'simple, no big deal to do', due to the fact that there is instant rice.I browsed Dream K's official social media.And with the keywords extracted there, I found an employee's personal information account, searched by dates, compared statuses, and concluded.'Currently, Bae SeJin is filming some kind of upcoming movie.'And even though it was anonymous, if you look at the frequency of indirectly mentioning the person I believe to be Bae SeJin on the employee's social networks....[Oh, he must be at the company often.]That's right. Especially when Bae SeJin is active, the mention appears in the comments. It's almost like he writes them when he leaves work after finishing his schedule.So even if he's not filming at the moment, it's very likely that he's at the company.-Hmm.So the morning after Bae SeJin woke up, I just showered and came out of the officetel with a cap and mask.Obviously I didn't think it was just a possibility.[Bae SeJin: Looking at the boss with a pointing finger (ˋㅅ'+)]I checked the status once.So, this probably happened as follows.'Maybe he finished shooting at dawn, got in the car, went into the building and met with the CEO.'Where is the boss? He must be in the company building.Looking at this, the likelihood of him being in the company is quite high.[So... You're going?]-Yes.Let's check it out for ourselves.His company was in a corner of Gangnam.It's not a magnificent office building like the big idol agencies. There is no sign advertising the agency in the old four-story building.Therefore, the security on the first floor is not so tight.I think the back door where the building managers enter and exit the building will also have only a sign that says, 'No entry except authorized personnel.'This must be it.'Sure enough, as I waited in the right place, a truck pulled up and uniformed people entered and exited through the back door.I looked at the time and naturally moved my feet there. It was a movement that could be misinterpreted as a service job loading luggage.Then, KeunDal's pop-up window floated up shaking slightly.[Hey, hyung, won't there be any trouble... if you're caught trespassing?]-It would be great if only Bae SeJin knew about it, but I'll go in no matter what.They could prevent my entry, but I do this for fear of being treated as the official visit of a LeTi rookie to this agency.This is not another company building, but an agency building. I'd rather be caught entering suspiciously.'Because I'm almost a public figure myself.'This is where you can see the virtue of becoming famous through broadcasting the idol survival program.Are only authorized personnel allowed? Suffice it to say that I am a staff member.Since I am a familiar face and have a similar occupation, will they believe me if I say that I am a friend of 'Lee SeJin' and came to meet him quietly.'No, believe it or not, I just need this to be able to reach Bae SeJin's ears.'The fact that Bae SeJin's last name changed when he woke up means that he has found his memories of TeSTAR.So even though he is puzzled by this strange situation, he will try to meet a stranger who comes out of nowhere.'But the worst thing would be... the agency won't let him talk to me.'The problem is that there is such a possibility, since Bae SeJin's contact information is missing....Tuk.I went through the emergency door on the outside of the second floor, and once I entered the restroom, I hid in a compartment.Meanwhile, I was thinking of checking whether Bae SeJin had left the company and then guessing his movements....KWANG!The bathroom door opened violently and I heard someone walking in shoes.'It's impossible for the security team to have already left.'Indeed, I can only hear the sound of using a sink. I shrugged my shoulders and checked the status window....[Bae SeJin: Washing my face with cold water (#ㅅ#)=3]-.......No way.I opened the door carefully.Kkiiik.Then I saw a man standing at the sink.The guy in the suit pours cold water on his face with his head down.And the moment he raised his head, I saw his face in the reflection of the mirror.-...!It's Bae SeJin.The style of a guy dressed only in a suit, without having dyed his hair or wearing contact lenses, was that of an actor.'It happened this way again.'A memory immediately came to mind.Somehow, every time he meets Ryu GunWoo he's always in front of the sink.-You're Lee SeJin, right? Sorry, I was surprised because I am your fan.It was a strange thing. But there is no time to linger with sentimentality.After confirming that there were no other people in the bathroom, I spoke to Bae SeJin.-Hello.-Yes?The guy, who had been staring at me from the moment I stepped out of the compartment, managed his expression in an instant. He's an actor.-I'm your fan.-Hmm, thank you very much. Are you a new employee?Seeing his tension drop, I gave him the final blow.-It's not like that. I'm a fan of Bae SeJin from TeSTAR.-...!His reaction came immediately.-Who are you?Bae Sejin immediately gained momentum.Looks like he'll grab me by the neck at any moment. Or he'll quickly block the bathroom exit.I should give him a quick answer.I opened my mouth immediately.-I'm Park MoonDae, hyung.-...!?Tuk.Something fell behind Bae SeJin's back.When I looked down, it looks like a pen. Maybe it was a tape recorder.-P-Park Moon .......-Yes, things happened and I ended up like this.I have to get to the point before this guy goes crazy.* * *Unfortunately, it was impossible to take him to a suitable restaurant or cafe.Because we have both oversold our faces, and this is the situation at the moment.-It will be difficult to get out of this building.-Do you have a bad situation?-...Something like that. Anyway, a-aren't you supposed to be in your original body...?!I don't know if he really believes it or pretends to believe it, but I have to pay attention to the fact that Bae SeJin is also trying to interrogate me.-Actually.-Actually?-I was born with this body. Park MoonDae is a new body.It sounded like a silly dog barking, but Bae SeJin's face, who was shocked by the situation, turned pale.-Are you a ghost...?-No.Wait a minute.Your proposal is not particularly different in the sense of being attached to another person's body after having died.[It's different! It's totally different!]-No. Come to think of it, I think it's similar........-Keuuup.If I do it right, he'll rub the back of his neck and let it go. I corrected my words.-Anyway, I was already living as Park MoonDae just before I participated in <Icorpo>. It was not a voluntary choice.-......Are you saying you were in the same situation as you are now? Kind of like that, like a change of world.......-It could be similar. Well, the Park MoonDae you know was me from the beginning... If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it.However, Bae SeJin, whose face changed color, reacted surprisingly to these words.He opened his mouth and took four or five deep breaths before replying thus.-...I know. You have never changed.-......Thank you.His performance didn't feel so bad.-Still, I can't let it go! This situation doesn't make any sense, so... explain it in detail!Even if I want to explain it in detail...-...In your company's bathroom?-.......He sighed and motioned to me.-Follow me.And the place Bae SeJin took me to was the company's storage room near the emergency exit on the third floor.'It's like a place I often came to when I wanted to be alone.'From his movements, it seemed that he was already familiar with this.Dalkak.The guy who closed the door hardened his expression and spoke seriously.-...No one will be coming for a while. Now tell me.-Okay.After nodding, I began to explain the situation so far in the simplest possible way.-So...'No matter how hard I try, I can't get used to it.'Still, I explained quite fluently, just like I did with Cha YooJin once.Bae SeJin's face turned blue, then white, then yellow.But in the end it turned red.I understand the first one, but why the last one?-So... so... you were him?-What?-That... Ryu GunWoo-ssi. The one who cheered me up!Oh, that.'Not for nothing was he looking at me with a strange expression.'Although he was mixed up with Park MoonDae back then, it seems like he recognized Ryu GunWoo's face at this moment. I patted the back of my head and opened my mouth.TL/N: He's referring to BaeSe's first encounter with GunWoo in the bathroom years ago. Back then, Ryu Gunwoo's body (which KeunDal usually owned) was the one that would be 29 years old, while the Gunwoo he's seeing now is the one that's 21 years old.-...Yes, but. I didn't mean to deceive you. I really wanted to cheer you up.Bae SeJin waved his hands hurriedly.-No, no, thank you...... Wait. You were in Park MoonDae at that time, or was the time wrong...?-That was also complicatedly twisted.I didn't expect that I would tell him this. I briefly explained the story of Park MoonDae and KeunDal.KeunDal unexpectedly butted in excitedly in the middle of the conversation.[Please, hyung, tell him that I passed the civil service exam thanks to you!]And Bae SeJin surprisingly did not feel overwhelmed by this unrealistic situation. However, like Cha YooJin, he did not properly understand the situation.Rather, he became increasingly serious and presented various analyses.His humanities skills are outstanding.TL/N: 'Humanities' is a study that is interested in human beings, their fundamental problems and human culture, or scientific research methods to properly understand human values and self-expression abilities that only humans possess through analytical, critical and speculative methods.-Do you know what the 'paradox of time' is? I think your situation is similar to that?-So, isn't this situation like a kind of simulated test? It's similar to reality, but less difficult.-Maybe it's like virtual reality. There's a movie. Like a matrix...I responded to all these words with the utmost sincerity.But the conclusion is this.-I don't know. It's all a guess.It's unknown.-Anyway, I bet we can go back because of the structure so far? We're working on it.-...Winning a Daesang as an idol.-Yes.-...... Well. That makes sense.Bae SeJin took a deep breath. It seems like his ability to accept it isn't enough because he's heard a lot of crazy things.And maybe that's why Bae SeJin said something similar.-So, since we're going back to reality anyway, this place is like a dream.-Yes.-All right.-...?What?-Wait. I'll be back after I give a crushing blow...-Huh?-To this agency!Bae SeJin said with burning eyes.-It's not even real anyway, so it's okay. There's sparks, but it's okay. I need to get a proper legal solution.-Ah.......Of course, I have no intention of stopping it.-But if it's fun to perform here, wouldn't it be nice to enjoy it?As a member of TeSTAR, his personal activities were constantly on hiatus and he could hardly build an acting career.I thought that before returning, it would be very beneficial to experience the environment here as a practice and consult plans for personal activities in the future.But Bae SeJin was frank.-Acting is good! But that's not why.-Why?The boy clenched his fists.-These bastards always force me to play the same type of character...!-.......-Here I've been playing a similar psychopath for four years. No matter how much I look at it, it's a beef bone to me!-Hmm.TL/N: '사골' (beef bone) is used as slang to describe something 'old, boring and repetitive to do/use'.Yes, that could be annoying.'Lee SeJin' is now a famous actor both in name and in reality, but it doesn't make sense that he can't choose a role at will.'It would be more normal if he could abuse his power to discard roles.'Isn't this pure unfair treatment?So something suddenly came to my mind.-Hyung, don't tell me that's why you don't have a contact number?-...! How did you know? ....... Yes. These bastards talk as if they can control my mind and won't even let me have a personal phone.Bae SeJin muttered with a cold face.-They treat me like I'm a person with a disability.The civil law terminology comes out. It seems that after becoming a TeSTAR member, he must have thought about his past and defined it.-...It must have been hard.-Actually, as long as I could act, it didn't matter much. Look at the public opinion, I don't have a killer schedule like I did when I was younger, and the pay I get is enough for my mom to live on....His face clouded over, and soon his eyes burned.He clenched his fists.-But as long as it's me, no matter how unrealistic, I don't have to put up with this anymore.-Yes.He declared genially.-I'll throw it all away and get out! You're getting ready to become an idol, aren't you?-I am, but...I talked about LeTi's survival program in moderation. Bae SeJin nodded and shouted as if he had made up his mind.-I'll be there too!Hmm.-I think it will be difficult.-Why?!-Hyung, you're 25 years old.-.......Yes.Bae SeJin, 25, the oldest among all the guys whose profiles I've reviewed so far, lowered his head with a flushed face.'How old should I be to succeed as an actor instead of a child actor?'After a brief speculation.-......I, am I too old to be an idol? When we were in Icorpo, there were participants of that same age.......-Yes, but it's not that kind of problem.I explained slowly.-Hyung, since you have gained a lot as an actor, it means that the public will object to you unnecessarily appearing in an idol program.That means it's a problem because he's a 25-year-old actor who has achieved a lot.He is in his prime. Unless Bae SeJin is overwhelmingly better as an idol than acting, it will only be painful.If he's going to come back to reality, he doesn't have to endure so much pain here.Bae SeJin, who grunted, finally admitted it with a sigh.-...You're right.-Hmm.He hasn't given up on the support fires, though.He clenched his fists again.-Then, I'll support you properly.-What?An ambitious smile spreads and disappears on his face.-Anyway, according to your hypothesis, I don't have to think about the long-term future or my influence here.-That's true.He chuckled softly.-Actually... there are more than one or two cases of corruption from this agency that I've seen so far.No way.-I'm going to hire a lawyer and get them. Let's see if they can have the nerve to threaten me with some weakness even when they're caught. Instead of not leaving, I'll fix it right!-.......A man full of cider cravings has his eyes flashing.Well... He's not an idol, he's an actor. It's not about fighting public opinion, it's about fixing the CEO's bad habits.-I'm going to back you up on that.-Yes!He had a proud face, but now he even made a suggestion with a face that expressed pure emotion.-When that's over... I'll have a stronger voice in my activities. So, would you like me to open a social media account and ask them to vote for you?-No.That's scary.After discussing the equity issue for a while, I put it off until after my debut.'It's like an out-of-control locomotive.'Bae SeJin, who is not worried about the future, has changed his style as if he were a main character.-So, you...And at the time when we were going to continue talking about the current situation.Deureureuk–My phone rang.-Oh, I need to buy one too.-I'll give you my number first.And when I opened my smartphone...A text message had arrived.-Hi, this is Lee SeJin from Gyrop! Are you Ryu GunWoo-ssi from Wise? (Smiling Emoticon)-.......Right.That's the guy I decided to communicate with after the filming.Bae SeJin, who was watching from the side, was delighted.-Did you find Lee SeJin as well? Then he remembers it too, right?I opened my mouth slowly.-No.-...!-We met by chance, but there's still no way he can remember again.-.......Bae SeJin lost his spirits. And silently, he stood beside me as if to comfort me.-He was the closest to you. He and Seon AhHyun.......And as if he had noticed as he spoke, he asked carefully.-Did you see what happened to Seon AhHyun?I nodded slowly. Bae SeJin looked uneasy, but soon patted me on the back like a big adult big brother.Tuk, tuk!-No... We can win the Daesang and come back soon! You're good at making plans like this.... We'll do it right!-...Yes.I sat quietly in the warehouse with Bae SeJin for a little while longer. It's funny, but I feel a little more at ease...And after a while.-I think they'll come looking for me soon.... I'll call you as soon as I get a number. I'll do it today.-Will it be okay?Bae SeJin snorted.-I'm going to do it. What could they do about it?And that afternoon.A new group message room opened up.[TeSTAR / 3 people]The first person to post was not me, but Cha YooJin.-Cha YooJin: Is Bae SeJin hyung here? WOOOOW-Bae SeJin: You seem to be doing well. RaeBin too.For some reason, I felt like I had gone back in time.–Cha YooJin: Let's increase the number of members quickly!And he even put up an ad.[Take your 7 STAR! Cheer up!]Somehow I looked at the sentence I hadn't seen in a long time and typed slowly.-Okay (Emoticon of dog raising both paws)It was a little less than half the number of total members, but it didn't feel bad because it was starting to take shape.Soon after, the fourth episode of <Wise> was successfully aired and a new filming was just around the corner.-Hyung, you'll be filming from today, right?-Yes.-Bye, take care... I'll see you soon.I left the officetel again and headed to the filming set.And throughout this survival program, I will know the most competitive rules.
To find out Bae SeJin's current status... surprisingly, just do an internet search.'Lee SeJin.'His profile already appears at the top.TL/N: It means that his profile is one of the first results that appears on the internet search engine he is using. This indicates that he is a very popular actor.-Lee SeJin (Film Actor)Latest film: Hippocampus (15. 12. 20XX)He is a movie star with a high stock price at the moment.Going through his entire filmography, an outstanding lineup appears with no less than 2 million.If you like watching movies, you must have heard his name at least once.[Oooh, but hadn't he filmed a drama?]He probably didn't do it on purpose. I think he has meticulously managed his work since he was a child actor.Of course, his name value is high. Considering the current situation where actors are more valued than idols, he's almost like a TeSTAR member.TL/N: While the most popular actors earn more than idols in general, TeSTAR is such a recognized group that each member's earnings are higher than those of other idols and are almost on par with an average popular actor (not the top most highly rated actors, as their earnings would still to be higher than theirs).He seems to have nothing to wish for... but what is mentioned after his filmography is the problem.Agency: Dream K CompanyIt's the same agency he had before. The one that comes down to his rescue after totally neglecting the actor as a child and spread negative rumors during contract renewal season.'It must suck.'Instead of taking a break to protest against the agency here, it seems that after a brief reshuffle after a child role, he got other jobs right away.Instead of a long hiatus, he built a solid career-.And although the actor is mysterious, the agency sells the name 'Lee SeJin' on media and social networks.I touched my chin.-It'll be easy.[What?]Because it means that the security of their schedule is poor.Obstacles to getting information are low because there are some people who sit in front of the actors' accommodations or agencies as well as they do with idols.'It's rice.'TL/N: 'It's rice' is a phrase koreans use as slang to say that something is 'simple, no big deal to do', due to the fact that there is instant rice.I browsed Dream K's official social media.And with the keywords extracted there, I found an employee's personal information account, searched by dates, compared statuses, and concluded.'Currently, Bae SeJin is filming some kind of upcoming movie.'And even though it was anonymous, if you look at the frequency of indirectly mentioning the person I believe to be Bae SeJin on the employee's social networks....[Oh, he must be at the company often.]That's right. Especially when Bae SeJin is active, the mention appears in the comments. It's almost like he writes them when he leaves work after finishing his schedule.So even if he's not filming at the moment, it's very likely that he's at the company.-Hmm.So the morning after Bae SeJin woke up, I just showered and came out of the officetel with a cap and mask.Obviously I didn't think it was just a possibility.[Bae SeJin: Looking at the boss with a pointing finger (ˋㅅ'+)]I checked the status once.So, this probably happened as follows.'Maybe he finished shooting at dawn, got in the car, went into the building and met with the CEO.'Where is the boss? He must be in the company building.Looking at this, the likelihood of him being in the company is quite high.[So... You're going?]-Yes.Let's check it out for ourselves.His company was in a corner of Gangnam.It's not a magnificent office building like the big idol agencies. There is no sign advertising the agency in the old four-story building.Therefore, the security on the first floor is not so tight.I think the back door where the building managers enter and exit the building will also have only a sign that says, 'No entry except authorized personnel.'This must be it.'Sure enough, as I waited in the right place, a truck pulled up and uniformed people entered and exited through the back door.I looked at the time and naturally moved my feet there. It was a movement that could be misinterpreted as a service job loading luggage.Then, KeunDal's pop-up window floated up shaking slightly.[Hey, hyung, won't there be any trouble... if you're caught trespassing?]-It would be great if only Bae SeJin knew about it, but I'll go in no matter what.They could prevent my entry, but I do this for fear of being treated as the official visit of a LeTi rookie to this agency.This is not another company building, but an agency building. I'd rather be caught entering suspiciously.'Because I'm almost a public figure myself.'This is where you can see the virtue of becoming famous through broadcasting the idol survival program.Are only authorized personnel allowed? Suffice it to say that I am a staff member.Since I am a familiar face and have a similar occupation, will they believe me if I say that I am a friend of 'Lee SeJin' and came to meet him quietly.'No, believe it or not, I just need this to be able to reach Bae SeJin's ears.'The fact that Bae SeJin's last name changed when he woke up means that he has found his memories of TeSTAR.So even though he is puzzled by this strange situation, he will try to meet a stranger who comes out of nowhere.'But the worst thing would be... the agency won't let him talk to me.'The problem is that there is such a possibility, since Bae SeJin's contact information is missing....Tuk.I went through the emergency door on the outside of the second floor, and once I entered the restroom, I hid in a compartment.Meanwhile, I was thinking of checking whether Bae SeJin had left the company and then guessing his movements....KWANG!The bathroom door opened violently and I heard someone walking in shoes.'It's impossible for the security team to have already left.'Indeed, I can only hear the sound of using a sink. I shrugged my shoulders and checked the status window....[Bae SeJin: Washing my face with cold water (#ㅅ#)=3]-.......No way.I opened the door carefully.Kkiiik.Then I saw a man standing at the sink.The guy in the suit pours cold water on his face with his head down.And the moment he raised his head, I saw his face in the reflection of the mirror.-...!It's Bae SeJin.The style of a guy dressed only in a suit, without having dyed his hair or wearing contact lenses, was that of an actor.'It happened this way again.'A memory immediately came to mind.Somehow, every time he meets Ryu GunWoo he's always in front of the sink.-You're Lee SeJin, right? Sorry, I was surprised because I am your fan.It was a strange thing. But there is no time to linger with sentimentality.After confirming that there were no other people in the bathroom, I spoke to Bae SeJin.-Hello.-Yes?The guy, who had been staring at me from the moment I stepped out of the compartment, managed his expression in an instant. He's an actor.-I'm your fan.-Hmm, thank you very much. Are you a new employee?Seeing his tension drop, I gave him the final blow.-It's not like that. I'm a fan of Bae SeJin from TeSTAR.-...!His reaction came immediately.-Who are you?Bae Sejin immediately gained momentum.Looks like he'll grab me by the neck at any moment. Or he'll quickly block the bathroom exit.I should give him a quick answer.I opened my mouth immediately.-I'm Park MoonDae, hyung.-...!?Tuk.Something fell behind Bae SeJin's back.When I looked down, it looks like a pen. Maybe it was a tape recorder.-P-Park Moon .......-Yes, things happened and I ended up like this.I have to get to the point before this guy goes crazy.* * *Unfortunately, it was impossible to take him to a suitable restaurant or cafe.Because we have both oversold our faces, and this is the situation at the moment.-It will be difficult to get out of this building.-Do you have a bad situation?-...Something like that. Anyway, a-aren't you supposed to be in your original body...?!I don't know if he really believes it or pretends to believe it, but I have to pay attention to the fact that Bae SeJin is also trying to interrogate me.-Actually.-Actually?-I was born with this body. Park MoonDae is a new body.It sounded like a silly dog barking, but Bae SeJin's face, who was shocked by the situation, turned pale.-Are you a ghost...?-No.Wait a minute.Your proposal is not particularly different in the sense of being attached to another person's body after having died.[It's different! It's totally different!]-No. Come to think of it, I think it's similar........-Keuuup.If I do it right, he'll rub the back of his neck and let it go. I corrected my words.-Anyway, I was already living as Park MoonDae just before I participated in <Icorpo>. It was not a voluntary choice.-......Are you saying you were in the same situation as you are now? Kind of like that, like a change of world.......-It could be similar. Well, the Park MoonDae you know was me from the beginning... If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it.However, Bae SeJin, whose face changed color, reacted surprisingly to these words.He opened his mouth and took four or five deep breaths before replying thus.-...I know. You have never changed.-......Thank you.His performance didn't feel so bad.-Still, I can't let it go! This situation doesn't make any sense, so... explain it in detail!Even if I want to explain it in detail...-...In your company's bathroom?-.......He sighed and motioned to me.-Follow me.And the place Bae SeJin took me to was the company's storage room near the emergency exit on the third floor.'It's like a place I often came to when I wanted to be alone.'From his movements, it seemed that he was already familiar with this.Dalkak.The guy who closed the door hardened his expression and spoke seriously.-...No one will be coming for a while. Now tell me.-Okay.After nodding, I began to explain the situation so far in the simplest possible way.-So...'No matter how hard I try, I can't get used to it.'Still, I explained quite fluently, just like I did with Cha YooJin once.Bae SeJin's face turned blue, then white, then yellow.But in the end it turned red.I understand the first one, but why the last one?-So... so... you were him?-What?-That... Ryu GunWoo-ssi. The one who cheered me up!Oh, that.'Not for nothing was he looking at me with a strange expression.'Although he was mixed up with Park MoonDae back then, it seems like he recognized Ryu GunWoo's face at this moment. I patted the back of my head and opened my mouth.TL/N: He's referring to BaeSe's first encounter with GunWoo in the bathroom years ago. Back then, Ryu Gunwoo's body (which KeunDal usually owned) was the one that would be 29 years old, while the Gunwoo he's seeing now is the one that's 21 years old.-...Yes, but. I didn't mean to deceive you. I really wanted to cheer you up.Bae SeJin waved his hands hurriedly.-No, no, thank you...... Wait. You were in Park MoonDae at that time, or was the time wrong...?-That was also complicatedly twisted.I didn't expect that I would tell him this. I briefly explained the story of Park MoonDae and KeunDal.KeunDal unexpectedly butted in excitedly in the middle of the conversation.[Please, hyung, tell him that I passed the civil service exam thanks to you!]And Bae SeJin surprisingly did not feel overwhelmed by this unrealistic situation. However, like Cha YooJin, he did not properly understand the situation.Rather, he became increasingly serious and presented various analyses.His humanities skills are outstanding.TL/N: 'Humanities' is a study that is interested in human beings, their fundamental problems and human culture, or scientific research methods to properly understand human values and self-expression abilities that only humans possess through analytical, critical and speculative methods.-Do you know what the 'paradox of time' is? I think your situation is similar to that?-So, isn't this situation like a kind of simulated test? It's similar to reality, but less difficult.-Maybe it's like virtual reality. There's a movie. Like a matrix...I responded to all these words with the utmost sincerity.But the conclusion is this.-I don't know. It's all a guess.It's unknown.-Anyway, I bet we can go back because of the structure so far? We're working on it.-...Winning a Daesang as an idol.-Yes.-...... Well. That makes sense.Bae SeJin took a deep breath. It seems like his ability to accept it isn't enough because he's heard a lot of crazy things.And maybe that's why Bae SeJin said something similar.-So, since we're going back to reality anyway, this place is like a dream.-Yes.-All right.-...?What?-Wait. I'll be back after I give a crushing blow...-Huh?-To this agency!Bae SeJin said with burning eyes.-It's not even real anyway, so it's okay. There's sparks, but it's okay. I need to get a proper legal solution.-Ah.......Of course, I have no intention of stopping it.-But if it's fun to perform here, wouldn't it be nice to enjoy it?As a member of TeSTAR, his personal activities were constantly on hiatus and he could hardly build an acting career.I thought that before returning, it would be very beneficial to experience the environment here as a practice and consult plans for personal activities in the future.But Bae SeJin was frank.-Acting is good! But that's not why.-Why?The boy clenched his fists.-These bastards always force me to play the same type of character...!-.......-Here I've been playing a similar psychopath for four years. No matter how much I look at it, it's a beef bone to me!-Hmm.TL/N: '사골' (beef bone) is used as slang to describe something 'old, boring and repetitive to do/use'.Yes, that could be annoying.'Lee SeJin' is now a famous actor both in name and in reality, but it doesn't make sense that he can't choose a role at will.'It would be more normal if he could abuse his power to discard roles.'Isn't this pure unfair treatment?So something suddenly came to my mind.-Hyung, don't tell me that's why you don't have a contact number?-...! How did you know? ....... Yes. These bastards talk as if they can control my mind and won't even let me have a personal phone.Bae SeJin muttered with a cold face.-They treat me like I'm a person with a disability.The civil law terminology comes out. It seems that after becoming a TeSTAR member, he must have thought about his past and defined it.-...It must have been hard.-Actually, as long as I could act, it didn't matter much. Look at the public opinion, I don't have a killer schedule like I did when I was younger, and the pay I get is enough for my mom to live on....His face clouded over, and soon his eyes burned.He clenched his fists.-But as long as it's me, no matter how unrealistic, I don't have to put up with this anymore.-Yes.He declared genially.-I'll throw it all away and get out! You're getting ready to become an idol, aren't you?-I am, but...I talked about LeTi's survival program in moderation. Bae SeJin nodded and shouted as if he had made up his mind.-I'll be there too!Hmm.-I think it will be difficult.-Why?!-Hyung, you're 25 years old.-.......Yes.Bae SeJin, 25, the oldest among all the guys whose profiles I've reviewed so far, lowered his head with a flushed face.'How old should I be to succeed as an actor instead of a child actor?'After a brief speculation.-......I, am I too old to be an idol? When we were in Icorpo, there were participants of that same age.......-Yes, but it's not that kind of problem.I explained slowly.-Hyung, since you have gained a lot as an actor, it means that the public will object to you unnecessarily appearing in an idol program.That means it's a problem because he's a 25-year-old actor who has achieved a lot.He is in his prime. Unless Bae SeJin is overwhelmingly better as an idol than acting, it will only be painful.If he's going to come back to reality, he doesn't have to endure so much pain here.Bae SeJin, who grunted, finally admitted it with a sigh.-...You're right.-Hmm.He hasn't given up on the support fires, though.He clenched his fists again.-Then, I'll support you properly.-What?An ambitious smile spreads and disappears on his face.-Anyway, according to your hypothesis, I don't have to think about the long-term future or my influence here.-That's true.He chuckled softly.-Actually... there are more than one or two cases of corruption from this agency that I've seen so far.No way.-I'm going to hire a lawyer and get them. Let's see if they can have the nerve to threaten me with some weakness even when they're caught. Instead of not leaving, I'll fix it right!-.......A man full of cider cravings has his eyes flashing.Well... He's not an idol, he's an actor. It's not about fighting public opinion, it's about fixing the CEO's bad habits.-I'm going to back you up on that.-Yes!He had a proud face, but now he even made a suggestion with a face that expressed pure emotion.-When that's over... I'll have a stronger voice in my activities. So, would you like me to open a social media account and ask them to vote for you?-No.That's scary.After discussing the equity issue for a while, I put it off until after my debut.'It's like an out-of-control locomotive.'Bae SeJin, who is not worried about the future, has changed his style as if he were a main character.-So, you...And at the time when we were going to continue talking about the current situation.Deureureuk–My phone rang.-Oh, I need to buy one too.-I'll give you my number first.And when I opened my smartphone...A text message had arrived.-Hi, this is Lee SeJin from Gyrop! Are you Ryu GunWoo-ssi from Wise? (Smiling Emoticon)-.......Right.That's the guy I decided to communicate with after the filming.Bae SeJin, who was watching from the side, was delighted.-Did you find Lee SeJin as well? Then he remembers it too, right?I opened my mouth slowly.-No.-...!-We met by chance, but there's still no way he can remember again.-.......Bae SeJin lost his spirits. And silently, he stood beside me as if to comfort me.-He was the closest to you. He and Seon AhHyun.......And as if he had noticed as he spoke, he asked carefully.-Did you see what happened to Seon AhHyun?I nodded slowly. Bae SeJin looked uneasy, but soon patted me on the back like a big adult big brother.Tuk, tuk!-No... We can win the Daesang and come back soon! You're good at making plans like this.... We'll do it right!-...Yes.I sat quietly in the warehouse with Bae SeJin for a little while longer. It's funny, but I feel a little more at ease...And after a while.-I think they'll come looking for me soon.... I'll call you as soon as I get a number. I'll do it today.-Will it be okay?Bae SeJin snorted.-I'm going to do it. What could they do about it?And that afternoon.A new group message room opened up.[TeSTAR / 3 people]The first person to post was not me, but Cha YooJin.-Cha YooJin: Is Bae SeJin hyung here? WOOOOW-Bae SeJin: You seem to be doing well. RaeBin too.For some reason, I felt like I had gone back in time.–Cha YooJin: Let's increase the number of members quickly!And he even put up an ad.[Take your 7 STAR! Cheer up!]Somehow I looked at the sentence I hadn't seen in a long time and typed slowly.-Okay (Emoticon of dog raising both paws)It was a little less than half the number of total members, but it didn't feel bad because it was starting to take shape.Soon after, the fourth episode of <Wise> was successfully aired and a new filming was just around the corner.-Hyung, you'll be filming from today, right?-Yes.-Bye, take care... I'll see you soon.I left the officetel again and headed to the filming set.And throughout this survival program, I will know the most competitive rules.
