done. It's really okay.

The moment when Korea's film history changed, the moment when it surpassed countless other incredible films and rose to first place, the moment when it took away the throne that was unimaginable.

"······"

Surprisingly, Kang Woo-jin did not react right away. He was just looking down at the cell phone in his hand, a little dazed. I wonder if she lost her mind because her head was pressed and sprained. Of course, it wasn't wrong. Because Woojin's current thinking is a bit broken.

[Korea's all-time box office]

[All-time movie rankings (combined)]

-One. Island of the Missing/ Cumulative number of viewers: 16,752,991

16.75 million. 16.75 million? I don't know. Is what I'm seeing real?

"No. 1 of all time. I? What movie did I shoot? crazy."

Woojin put down the cell phone he was holding and looked into the sky in front of him. Pupils dilated. Additionally, the heart rate increased. Of course, it was a moment I had been looking forward to, but when it happened, I couldn't believe it. Humans sometimes deny reality when something they desperately want comes true.

However, there is no way Kang Woo-jin's present can change.

The long history of the Korean film industry was overturned, and it was Kang Woo-jin who gave the booster to that changed history.

slowly.

"haha."

gradually.

"Hehe."

Kang Woo-jin accepts reality. The corners of his mouth began to rise mercilessly. The change is sudden. He laughed so suddenly that it almost made him look like he was crazy.

What do you think?

Did Woojin decide to look like a crazy person?

-Sigh.

He got up from the bed with his hair bald and suddenly twitched his butt. No, it wasn't just the butt. I entrusted my entire body, including my waist and shoulders, to the rhythm.

"Did you see it? Did you see it? "This is me."

Twisting or twitching. Of course, there was no music playing. I was just shaking my head because of the excitement.

Concept quality? Pretending to be strong? I don't know, just dance.

Kang Woo-jin's excitement grows. Well, it was a completely understandable behavior. Not just Woojin, but any normal actor would have done the same. It replaced Korea's previously impregnable reputation as the No. 1 movie of all time. Where else can there be glory like this? In particular, in the case of Kang Woo-jin, 'Island of the Missing' was his first lead role in a feature film, and it was a huge hit that he achieved.

Even one shot, one kill.

It was a demonstration of real influence, not just as an 'issue king.' However, Kang Woo-jin, who is currently half-crazed, felt good about winning first place rather than such a detailed meaning. Kang Woo-jin suddenly stopped standing tall.

"after-"

As he took a deep breath, he remembered the first time he learned subspace. To be exact, it was a line he had recited in a half-joking manner.

'Should I try becoming an actor?'

That person has now become a 10 million actor. No, it's more than that. Kang Woo-jin, who resigned from the toad CEO of a design company and became unemployed, was the leading actor in the number one movie of all time in Korea at this point.

-Wooow.

-Wooow.

-Wooow.

A short vibration rang out. Non-stop. The cell phone on the bed is spitting out. Due to the timing, these are 100% congratulatory calls. However, Woojin did not pick up his cell phone right away.

"Heh, I'll just have to shake it a little more and get it back on track."

I was planning on enjoying the overwhelming excitement for a few more minutes.

However.

-Knock knock, knock knock!

Woojin had to stop because someone was pounding ravenously on his room door. Oh wait. Regardless of who it was, I had to rewrite the concept that had now been thrown away. Mind control, poker face.

Calm down, Kang Woo-jin.

The corners of his mouth went up frantically, but Woojin somehow managed to put on his usual indifference on his face. Woojin checked his face in the mirror again and opened the door.

at the same time.

"haha! Woojin!!"

Choi Seong-geon, with slightly disheveled ponytails, suddenly hugged Kang Woo-jin. Perhaps because it was a hotel, a slightly strange picture was created, but Woojin's expressionless expression did not change, and Choi Seong-geon patted him on the back and shouted.

"First place, first place! Is this just 1st place??! No! It completely overturns Korean history and takes first place!! You dude! "Now, my level as an actor has changed!!"

Although he is the CEO of BW Ente, Choi Seong-geon was very honestly happy. It was worth it. Because he too was with Kang Woo-jin from the very beginning. Of course, it was a journey filled with numerous misunderstandings and illusions, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, Kang Woo-jin, who patted Choi Seong-gun's back moderately, lowered his voice.

"There is still a long way to go."

backwards.

As soon as Kang Woo-jin moved to the set of 'Leech', Korean film history changed. Choi Seong-gun was not the only one making a fuss. He said it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire country was shaking.

In particular, Oullim Film Company, where Key Staff of 'Island of the Missing' and director Kwon Ki-taek gathered together.

"Aaaah!!"

"Congratulations! congratulations!!"

"J-is this really true?? "I can't believe it even though I'm looking at it??!"

"and!! creeps! "Goosebumps on my forearms!!"

"Director! "Congratulations!"

"'Island of the Missing' – 1st place! "No. 1!!"

"Hey, someone spank my ass!" It's not a dream, right? uh??!"

It was shaking. They ran around, hugged each other, and cried. It was a sight that was completely understandable. A movie with 10 million views also has a strong impact, and it has regained first place by surpassing 16 million, and its overall performance is not yet over.

"oh my god!! No! Superb! no!! Legend! "It's a legend!!"

The atmosphere is reminiscent of a crazy party. In the meantime, director Kwon Ki-taek, who was sitting in his seat with a warm expression, muttered under his breath.

"Yes, this taste."

Many scenes flashed through his mind. When I first wrote the 'Island of the Missing' scenario, when I searched for suitable actors after it was completed, when I gave the lead role to Kang Woo-jin, who suddenly fell from the sky, and to a first-year rookie, etc.

"As expected – I can't stop directing because of this taste."

Director Kwon Ki-taek, who was usually soft-spoken, clenched both his hands into fists. It was an expression of his own trepidation.

The main actors of 'Island of the Missing' were also the same.

Although not part of Oullim Film Company, all actors were happy in their respective positions. From supporting actors who appeared in 'Island of the Missing' to cast members such as Ryu Jung-min, Jeon Woo-chang, Ha Yu-ra, and Kim I-won.

On the other hand, there was a film company that went through hell in the opposite direction of Oullim Film Company and its actors.

"Hehe, eventually."

"······hmm."

"I was prepared, but as expected, I didn't feel good."

"What can I do? "It's reality."

Where would it be? It was 'BOX Movies', which produced 'Naval Battle'. Compared to the bustling film studio, this was a portrait collection.

It's extremely depressing.

Even when looking at the entire country, the 'BOX Movies' film industry is probably the most depressed. In fact, the media was already frantically or excitedly publishing articles.

『[Official]'Island of the Missing' surpasses 'Naval Battle' as the #1 throne of all time!』

『From today, the No. 1 movie of all time is not 'Battle of the Sea' but 'Island of the Missing', and the domestic film industry is rocked by the changed ranking.』

『"Big hit!" Korea's first place changed after several years, but the run of 'Island of the Missing' is not over』

As of today, most media outlets have celebrated 'The Island of the Missing' without any criticism or criticism.

『'Kang Woo-jin's' effect is strong… Will 'Island of the Missing', which regained first place, be able to reach 18 million viewers?』

The atmosphere heats up. The entertainment industry was excited. Various media outlets, including radio, rushed to report the news of the 'Island of the Missing'.

"Wow – 'Island of the Missing' really did it! Congratulations to director Kwon Ki-taek, and congratulations to the actors!"

"Incredible. Honestly, I didn't think there would be a movie that would beat the record of 'Naval Battle' in the future, right? However, the number of viewers easily exceeded 16 million."

"But what's even more surprising is that that score is not the final score."

"That's right."

Of course, YouTube, video platforms, and SNS were also popular. What is public opinion like in the community?

-and!!! Congratulations!! Clap clap clap!!

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously, Missing Island stepped on the naval battleㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-…But honestly, Island of the Missing was a movie that got close to 17 million viewers? I was having fun

-↑The reason it's so funny is your face.

-But wow…what happens to Kang Woo-jin? In the second year of his debut, he crashed.

-The fact that there are 16 million viewers in the present, not in the past, is truly amazing haha.

-Bubble Youngkkkkk, I was lucky, Kang Woo-jin's firepower also played a part haha.

They too were at their peak of excitement.

-Director Kwon stands out as the number one director in name and reality among domestic directors with One Island of the Missing haha.

-I'm going to have a party with actors for money hahaha I'm jealous

-Kang Woojin ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Pilmo is a bitchㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-A day in history when the #1 movie of all time changed!!

-Can you tell me something about geography? Kang Woo-jin is currently preparing for Cannes hahaha.

– Right… No matter what industry it is, water shouldn't be rotten… There has to be continuous change.

-The naval battle actors must be crazy lol.

-The Island of the Missing, John Jam!!!

Meanwhile, countless congratulations poured in on Kang Woo-jin, who arrived at the set of 'Leech'. Not only actors such as Shin Shim-ho, Oh Hee-ryeong, Jin Jae-jun, and Han So-jin, but also over 100 staff members. It is nice to see that he is happy as if it were his job. Of course, veteran coach Ahn Ga-bok also congratulated Woojin.

"Woojin, you left behind a great achievement. "Congratulations."

At the same time, I strengthened my will even more.

"Our 'leeches' should also buy and play properly at Cannes, right?"

Two days, mixed with a weekend, passed like that. The 12th and 13th were deleted and dawned on the 14th, and the No. 1 movie of all time in Korea changed.

[Korea's all-time box office]

[All-time movie rankings (combined)]

-One. Island of the Missing/ Cumulative number of viewers: 17,681,238

Cheolongseong Fortress was being established.

Meanwhile, Monday the 14th. japan.

By the time the weekday dawned again, there were reports in Japan that the throne of the Korean film industry had changed.

『'Island of the Missing', starring Kang Woo-jin, ranks first in Korean film history』

『Kang Woo-jin's unrivaled move, Japanese fans go crazy with the news that 'The Island of the Missing' ranks first』

Of course, it is weaker than Korea, but it is still spread very loudly because it includes Kang Woo-jin. Accordingly, Woojin's name was frequently mentioned on Japanese SNS. What's unusual is that Woojin's name often comes up even in one editing room. It was 'A10 Studio', one of Japan's top three animation production companies.

Specifically, a large editing room inside 'A10 Studio'.

It was a place with various devices and numerous monitors, and there were quite a few familiar people in the editing room. The general director and various staff of the animation 'Boyfriend: Remake'. The reason was simple. Now that we have finished dubbing for the voice actors, including Kang Woo-jin, all that remains is final editing.

The director sitting in the center leads the way.

"Play the opening song again."

"Yes, director."

A song began to sound in the spacious editing room.

-♬♪

It was an OST song performed by Kang Woo-jin. The piano melody and drums were mixed with a moderately fast beat. In addition, the many monitors in front began to display the opening cuts of the animation that would be combined with the OST in alternating order. Several scenes from 'Boyfriend: Remake' selected by the director.

About this way.

"······and."

A female staff member sitting next to the director spoke in Japanese full of admiration.

"Kang Woo-jin is also very good at singing. She also has a good voice. "If she doesn't say Woojin, she will feel like she's just a singer."

These words became the starting point, and most of the staff gathered in the editing room joined in with their praise.

"That's right, Japanese doesn't feel awkward at all."

"I've heard Woojin a few times on YouTube, but it's still surprising to hear it again."

"Is there anything you can't do?"

The director sitting in the center nodded slowly.

"I was very surprised when we first met."

The director, who was checking the animation's opening song, ordered something different this time.

"Let's try something else on the piano."

The song that was playing in the editing room soon changed. It was the piano played by Kang Woo-jin. It was a cut to be inserted at the beginning of the animation.

"No matter how you look at it, Woojin seems to have been active in musical activities in the past."

"Of course it is, right? "Vocals and piano like this."

"But you're crazy about acting, right? Plus, you have voice acting skills."

"After hearing it… what on earth is it? Who is this alien? Normally, it might take a lifetime to get one."

The director, who was listening to the piano melody with his arms crossed, muttered softly. The tone was definite.

"······Bloods on innate genius. No, there must have been an effort to vomit blood. Otherwise, I can't explain it. "You may not know it, but Woojin probably hasn't wasted a single second of his life."

Everyone in the editing room acknowledged it.

"It's a monster, after all."

Approximately several hours have passed since then.

When the morning sky was getting dark, a woman came into the editing room where the editing of 'Boyfriend: Remake' was in full swing. She was the female team leader of the 'A10 Studio' planning team. When she came in, several of her staff greeted her, and the female team leader spoke to the director sitting in the center of her machine.

"Director, how do you feel?"

The director, who was yawning, operated the device a few times and displayed the edited first episode of 'Boyfriend: Remake' on the monitor. Soon, the female team leader's eyes were fixed on the monitor, and after looking at it for a while, she smiled.

"Okay, I'm already excited. In particular, Kang Woo-jin is the true male lead 'Sengoku Tooru'."

The female team leader, whose face was filled with satisfaction, lowered her eyes at the coach.

"I wanted to tell you because 'Boyfriend: Remake' is scheduled to air."

I recited what was confirmed.

"It will be released in the third quarter of this year, around July."

Approximately one month left.
