I've Become a Genius Actor-Chapter 42:

Min Woojin, stammering unusually, began to speak.

"Well The client really enjoyed Roll it Fun' a lot."

Min Woojin continued with an awkward smile.

"So they'd like you to dance along with it. You know, something like that JelliJelli dance"

"Uh?"

Han Yooil's voice cracked sharply.

Maybe I shouldn't have danced.'

No, it was a good choice in the end, Mr. Yooil. Be confident.

Brion's consolation didn't particularly help.

Noticing this, Brion silently began to show the reactions of people during the filming of Roll it Fun'.

That's enough, stop it now.'

The endless scroll of comments vanished in an instant.

Call me anytime you need, Mr. Yooil.

Without responding, Han Yooil gazed at a distant mountain.

* * *

Time flew swiftly.

A week later, Yooil was on the set for the photo shoot and advertisement of GINBERG.

"Please look up for a moment~"

"Close your eyes~"

Han Yooil followed the makeup director's instructions, opening and closing his eyes. Before long, a beautifully groomed figure appeared in the mirror.

I think this is the heaviest makeup I've ever had.'

Whether aware of his concern or not, the young-looking makeup director, who appeared to be of Yooil's age, admired him from various angles, letting out heartfelt exclamations.

"Perfect!"

The smoky makeup around his eyes and hair set to look moist with hairspray suited him unbelievably well.

Just by staring blankly at the mirror, it seemed as if a hidden narrative was visible.

The makeup director, with eyes filled with emotion, said,

"It's fantastic~! Honestly, not everyone suits this concept so well. You really pull it off~?"

"Thank you."

After the makeup session, Han Yooil stepped into the studio.

As Yooil's face appeared under the bright lights, gasps of awe erupted among the staff.

Wow'

The AE of Good Planning', responsible for this advertisement, unconsciously opened his mouth. Having worked as an AE in an advertising agency, he had seen countless actors. Among them were many good-looking and pretty advertisement models from Korea. It was intriguing at first, but after becoming a third-year employee, he no longer felt much excitement seeing any actor or model.

But seeing Han Yooil made him nod involuntarily.

They really chose the right model.'

GINVERG, a brand known for its sophisticated and dandy image, matched perfectly with Han Yooil.

Yooil, wearing a black jacket with wide lapels reminiscent of a traditional Korean coat and a unique grey-patterned white inner that evoked Maurits Escher, naturally posed.

"Nice~ Good!" freewebno(v)el

"Great! How about a rougher stance this time?"

Not just that. His sense was also impeccable.

He gets it right away.'

The AE, looking at the accumulating shots on the monitor, observed the client's expression. It was clearly one of satisfaction.

It's a wrap.'

Indeed. Looking at these pictures, even someone who didn't like the brand might want to buy it.

The AE silently cheered with a clenched fist.

* * *

Against the white studio background, the sound of footsteps echoed.

Click, clack, click, clack.

Soon, a long black jacket swept across the screen with a whoosh.

A close-up shot of Han Yooil's eyes with heavy smoky makeup alternated with the piercing gaze of an eagle.

The graceful arc traced by his arm as it moved.

Along with that, the wide lapels of the jacket sliced through the air.

Immediately following that image, the scene of cranes flapping their wings appeared in slow motion. At the same time, Han Yooil's narration began.

[Day or night]

Yooil, who had been slowly walking from left to right, suddenly stops his steps. Then, he approaches the camera with a relaxed backward step.

Facing the camera, Yooil stares intently into it.

His face was playful, yet due to the smoky makeup, it exuded a dangerous aura.

[Because every moment of mine is special.]

Yooil's face, with a smirk while locking eyes with the camera, briefly appears

And immediately, the camera flips over.

Yooil, now wearing a beige jacket, a clean white shirt without patterns, and light brown pants, and donning plain black glasses, is seen.

A completely different look from before.

Yet, the face staring straight at the camera, lifting one corner of his mouth, still oozed sexiness.

[For your special everyday life, different by day and night. GINVERG.]

""

HM, who was watching YouTube, unknowingly watched the advertisement to the end without skipping it and blinked her dry eyes. It was just an ad, but she found herself intensely focused.

HM, as if enchanted, logged into BlueChat.

I'm not into Han Yooil. This is just'

Before she knew it, HM was browsing through numerous Yooil fan accounts she had mutually followed on BlueChat.

because this actor is close with Harang.'

That's why she followed them. The reason HM clicked on a link on one of the accounts was the same.

[@jinnnny Ha (link)]

Yeah. This is all because of our Harang.'

HM rationalized nonsensically, moving her fingers. Otherwise, she would have felt guilty towards Kim Harang.

[GB Magazine] The more you know, the more curious you become about this man! WHATS IN MY BAG with Han Yooil

The link led to a video on GINBERG's brand YouTube channel.

The moment he saw the face in the video, HM involuntarily let out a gasp.

"Wow."

It felt like he had downed a strongly caffeinated Americano in one shot.

Han Yooil was just as he appeared in the advertisement. The conceptual makeup looked even more prominent on the non-dynamic camera.

How does he suit such makeup and clothes?'

When he was Seon Gihyeon, he looked simply handsome, but Yooil in the video with makeup reminded him of a fallen angel.

Han Yooil smiled brightly with a look so sharp it seemed it could cut, radiating chicness.

Hello, I'm Han Yooil. This is my first time doing a video like this, so I'm a bit shy.

And then, Yooil showed his bag, calling it his own a black backpack. A mundane brand that you'd expect to see on 10 out of 30 students in a lecture hall.

He rummaged through the bag and pulled something out.

First here's my diary.

A black leather diary appeared.

My aunt gave it to me last winter, and I've been using it well. My handwriting is a bit embarrassing should I show you a little?

And the next moment, a page from the close-up diary was shown.

"What's that."

HM was genuinely baffled.

That's what he calls bad handwriting?'

If that was the case, then she might as well have never written anything in her entire life.

Han Yooil's handwriting was that neat.

There's also lip balm. My lips tend to dry easily. And oh, this is a bit embarrassing.

A mosaic-censored script emerged from the bag. Although the cover was censored, those interested would know it was <The Mysterious Garden>.

Seeing the worn pages, HM genuinely admired it.

And the most important thing

Han Yooil, with a playful smile, made a ta-da' sound as he pulled out a laptop. And, seemingly embarrassed by his spirited statement, he continued with an awkward smile.

The semester has started so I'm working on assignments in between my schedule.

Production Team: Wooooow

(Even if you watch on the KTX, he's a model student)

Along with the staff's exclamations that weren't heard in other videos, subtitles appeared.

Oh, and I like mint candies, so I also carry around this candy box.

Yooil, after showing the contents of his bag, awkwardly fidgeted with his neck.

"But does everyone usually show things like this? It didn't feel like this in other videos"

While saying this with a laugh, Yooil's overly innocent face prompted HM to unintentionally hit the capture button.

* * *

"Ughhh!"

Exclaiming loudly while clutching his stiff hair, Son Jisoo soon relaxed his grip.

Lately, he started noticing hair loss, so it seemed like a bad idea to mess with his hair too much.

Why is it getting such a good response!!'

Son Jisoo couldn't understand. The photo shoots, CFs, and What's In My Bag' were all shoots he had done similarly.

But why?

What's different?

The atmosphere was so different from when he did it. Moreover, Han Yooil's ad captures were even spreading positively in communities that were not very kind to actors.

He looked at Han Yooil's video, biting his lip.

"Annoying."

While quickly scrolling through the YouTube comments, he threw his phone irritably and grabbed the script for <The Mysterious Garden> roughly.

The driving manager flinched but resolutely kept his eyes on the road.

ByulByul Cafe. No acidity. Americano with three shots.'

The manager mentally noted the order and stepped on the accelerator.

* * *

Of all the people who've been on What's In My Bag, he seems the most relatable (Likes:1.5k)

Typical_college_student_from_the_peninsula.jpg (Likes:4.3k)

But really, it's nice to see because there's absolutely no pretense feels like I'm just looking at a peer's bag (Likes:3.1k)

I go to the same school as Han Yooil, and he really carries that bag every day lol. He studies super hard truly living the best life.

Honestly, I wasn't paying attention to the bag at all (Likes:324)

Han Yooil's face is welfare itself.

Isn't it just me or does this make you want to study harder? Seeing how worn-out Han Yooil's script is makes me want to live more diligently (Likes: 654)

""

Clearing his throat with an embarrassed face, the window disappeared instantly. Reading people's comments was fun yet always made him blush.

Anyway, it was a relief that the reactions weren't bad.

But I'm worried.'

What was currently troubling Han Yooil's mind was something else.

It was the Vita Talk Seven' commercial shot the day before.

He recalled the chaotic shooting set.

More refreshing!

Ahh, that's it! That's the one! Like you're so sour you're gonna die!

Think, I am the lemon! I am the human lime!'!

Let's stop thinking about it.

Han Yooil clenched his eyes shut.

Will it be okay?'

The CF director and the client seemed very satisfied, which only added to his confusion.

Walking down the company corridor with a troubled face, he was stopped by a familiar voice.

"Mr. Yooil."

Yooil turned at the heavy voice.

A man with distinct facial features and a large build caught his eye.

It was President Jang Jaehyun.

"It's been a while since we've met."

"Ah Hello, Mr. President."

President Jang Jaehyun wore a gentle smile.

"Have you been well?"

"I have been fine. But I suppose you've been too busy to even breathe."

"Not at all."

While intently looking at Yooil, Jang Jaehyun spoke.

"It's about time for you to do a fitting, Mr. Yooil."

"Fitting?"

"It's almost time for the Busan International Film Festival, isn't it."

Indeed.

With the hectic days passing by, he had momentarily forgotten about it.

"The wardrobe team has selected a few outfits, so let's try them on later at the stylist's office. Director Jang Jaeyi will be joining you as well."

A few hours later, Yooil was led by the staff to an office of about ten pyeong in size.

"Wow."

Yooil had seen vlogs of actors titled <Dress Fitting for the Award Ceremony> on YouTube occasionally.

Just like in those vlogs, numerous outfits were waiting for Han Yooil.

Suits of all colors and designs filled the office. Among them were many from famous brands he had only heard of.

"Shall we try this on first?"

Yooil nodded as he looked at the garments densely packed on the hangers.

Just trying on clothes, it shouldn't be too hard.'

Yooil soon realized that it was a big misconception.

"Wow the hanger really does matter!"

"Mr. Yooil looks like a prince!"

With each change of outfit, the wardrobe team members exclaimed in admiration, taking photos from various angles.

"Shall we try this on?"

"Let's go with this outfit next~"

The basic outfits that seemed like Would this suit him?' naturally fit him like a glove, and even the slightly bizarre outfits with unique colors or details looked incredibly good on him.

As the wardrobe team dressed Han Yooil like playing with a doll, they found themselves in a dilemma.

Everything suits him, what should we do?'

It was Jang Jaeyi who solved their problem.

"Let's go with a basic black this time, and start trying new things from the next event. Let's choose a clean design for the tie too Ah, this one looks good."

As Jang Jaeyi presented a black tie with a subtle sheen, the other team members nodded with sparkling eyes.

"We've seen the fit, so we can keep these styles for now."

Han Yooil watched Jang Jaeyi smoothly taking charge of the wardrobe team like a conductor. Sensing his gaze, she smiled smoothly.

"Ah."

Jang Jaeyi continued with a bright smile.

"Actually, I majored in fashion. Until college, I wanted to be a designer. But thanks to my brother I mean, the CEO, I ended up stepping into the entertainment industry."

Clearly, she almost attached a word starting with S' after brother.'

Yooil pretended not to notice and nodded.

Finally escaping the fitting hell, Yooil comfortably sat down in a chair and took a breather. The constant cycle of changing clothes had completely drained him.

I'd rather work out.'

I'll set your evening routine to a stress-relieving workout.

'

Brion's scheduled workout routine was an uncompromising way of relieving stress without giving him time to think.

That night, after working out at the gym, Han Yooil came home and immediately fell asleep like a zombie.

* * *

A few days later.

A week before the opening ceremony of the Busan International Film Festival, the new advertisement for Vita Talk Seven' was released.

It was a concept that no one had anticipated.
