[(Exclusive) Shadowman 3, confirmed to be filmed in Seoul, Korea!]

<Marine Studios has officially announced its plans to film Shadowman 3 in France and Korea.

Today, Marine Studios said, “We have confirmed the locations for Shadowman 3, the final installment of the Shadowman series, in France and Korea.”

Shadowman 3 will feature Evan Block as Shadowman, along with Rachel Hill, Lee Seo-jun, Swalin Anem and other actors.>

-…???

-What? What does this mean?

-They’re filming Shadowman 3 in Korea?

-Is it just a brief appearance?

=Maybe. Like in Shadowman 1, when they showed the global damage caused by the strange wormhole.

=…There was no Korea in Shadowman 1. It didn’t even show up for a second.

=222 I watched Shadowman 1 like crazy, but I didn’t see even a K of KOREA.

-Korea must have become a big enough market for them to care about it I’m touched.

=I agree. Filming overseas also has a promotional purpose.

-Even if they don’t do this, I’ll watch it multiple times, but if they come to film here, I’ll watch it three times more!!

=Why three times more?

=Shadowman once, Seo-jun twice, Korea filming three times.

=Wow. Then I’ll also watch it three times more.

-Articles are out.

As soon as the exclusive article came out, dozens of articles followed. 

The views went up as fast as the exclusive article.

[Shadowman 3 filming in Korea!]

[Marine Studios announces Shadowman 3 filming in France/Korea!]

[Shadowman 3 filming in Paris, France and Seoul, Korea!]

-They’re really filming in Korea!

-They’re going to France too.

-Oh. Then they’ll appear quite a lot, right?

-Where are they filming?

-If they film on the road, maybe we can see them. Can’t we see them through the windows of the buildings?

=They’ll probably block the road… The traffic will be bad

-The location is out!

[Shadowman 3 filming in Gwanghwamun Square and Gyeongbokgung Palace area]

<…(excerpt) The superhero movie Shadowman 3, which will be released simultaneously in 120 countries around the world, is scheduled to be filmed in Seoul, Gwanghwamun Square and Gyeongbokgung Palace area.>

-Wow. Gwanghwamun Square! Gyeongbokgung Palace!

-Huh. Gyeongbokgung Palace will appear in Shadowman 3?

-I never thought I’d see our palace in a Hollywood movie!!

-Will Admiral Yi Sun-sin and King Sejong also appear?

=I hope they look cool!

-But if they film in Gyeongbokgung Palace, it’ll be easy to control and hard to see.

=222 They just have to block the tourists.

-Gwanghwamun Square might be possible to see.

=You want to see from the buildings?

-Will Seo-jun come if they film?

=He should…

=Isn’t it just Shadowman?

=Why can’t we see him when he’s a Korean actor

Korea was turned upside down by the news of Shadowman 3 filming. Not long after the articles came out, most of the real-time search terms were occupied by Shadowman 3.

…

As soon as the article came out, the Seoul City Hall and related officials who gave permission for filming were flooded with calls like a downpour.

The civil servants who filled the city hall thought of Seo-jun’s agency with tired faces as they heard the ringing phones and saw the city hall bulletin board being updated in an instant.

“…Do they always do this?”

“They’re crazy.”

***

Unlike Korea, which was in chaos, Seo-jun was enjoying a leisurely afternoon after finishing his filming like the eye of a storm.

“Wow. The article must be out.”

Seo-jun sent replies to his friends while eating snacks on the sofa.

Ju-hee: Are you really filming in Korea?

<Yeah. The date of entry is also set.

<But it’s a secret.

Ju-kyung:

Jae-han: Will you come to school then?

Seo-jun tilted his head at Jae-han’s message.

“Da-ho hyung. I can’t go to school, right?”

Sitting in front of Seo-jun, Ahn Da-ho was looking at the messages from the team 2 staff who were crying.

Team leader Ahn! Save us!

We’re all dying here!

The president is here too!

They were so busy that they still had time to send messages, which meant they were getting used to it.

‘I guess they don’t want to get used to it…’

<Cheer up!

<(Chicken gifticon)

<(Pizza gifticon)

He sent a lot of food and answered Seo-jun’s question.

“It’ll be hard anyway, since we’re all moving together and the filming date is not that long. I think we’ll run out of time if we do interviews and filming for promotion.”

There would be some time for jet lag and rest, but not enough to go to school.

Seo-jun nodded at Ahn Da-ho’s words.

<I don’t think I can go.

Jae-han: I see. That’s too bad.

Ju-hee: Our end-of-year play is on YouTube!

Ji-ho: Watch it! We worked hard!

Ju-kyung: Our class did it too!

<I’m really curious! I’ll definitely watch it!

“Then the first place we’re going is France.”

“That’s right.”

A friend who comes to mind when you think of France.

Just then, a message arrived on Seo-jun’s phone.

Charlie: You’re coming to France!?

Seo-jun smiled brightly at Charlie’s message.

***

And a few days later.

A plane arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport. 

It was the plane carrying the staff, director, and actors of Shadowman 3.

“Evan Block!”

“Rachel Hill!”

“Lee Seo-jun!”

The three actors waved their hands at the welcoming crowd that gathered at the airport.

“Seo-jun! Over here!”

Seo-jun turned his head at the sound of Korean.

Korean students who were studying in France had made placards to welcome Seo-jun.

They never expected to see the superstar they couldn’t see in Korea in a foreign country like France.

Seo-jun smiled broadly and bowed to them, who were shouting his name with flushed faces.

“Hello!”

“Kyaaah! Seo-jun!”

The crowd erupted in screams and cheers at Seo-jun’s greeting.

That scene was captured by the reporters’ cameras. 

The photos of the Shadowman team that appeared in the French media reached Korea as well.

[Shadowman 3 arrives in France!]

[Welcome crowd gathers at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport!]

[Actor Lee Seo-jun has grown up!]

-He really has grown up.

-It’s been almost a year since he filmed Escape.

=22 But it’s only been six months since it was released.

=Is he in eighth grade? Kids these days grow up so fast.

-I saw Seo-jun in France that I couldn’t see in Korea!

=22 He even said hello!

=333 We made eye contact!!

=I’m so jealous

After taking a day off to adjust to the time difference, Seo-jun and the Shadowman team prepared for filming and did interviews for promotion.

Of course, those interviews were quickly translated and delivered to Korea as well.

And on the day of filming in Paris.

The Champ de Mars, where the Eiffel Tower could be seen, was temporarily closed off.

“Move quickly!”

“Where’s the prop box?!”

“Extras, please come this way!”

The staff who were used to overseas location filming moved quickly for a fast shoot.

The extras who were secretly cast looked at the three actors sitting on chairs with sparkling eyes.

After finishing all the preparations for filming and having a short break, the actors spent their time in their own ways. Seo-jun was sending messages on his phone.

<I wonder if we can meet

Charlie: I know, right. I’m near the square, but.

Charlie: There are so many people here

Charlie: They all came to see Shadowman.

<

“Jun. We’re starting soon.”

“Okay.”

At Rachel Hill’s words, Seo-jun quickly sent a message to Charlie.

<I’m going to film!

Charlie: Good luck!

The extras filled the square sporadically as tourists and locals. 

Jonathan checked the route once more and gave an OK sign. Ryan, the director, opened his mouth.

“We don’t have much time to film, so let’s focus.”

The staff and actors nodded at Ryan’s words.

“Ready, action!”

Paris, France.

The blue Champ de Mars where the Eiffel Tower could be seen.

It was a peaceful day as usual, filled with locals who came out for a walk and tourists who came to sightsee.

“Huh, what’s that?”

It was like that until they appeared.

Black objects that filled the sky.

The people who were lying on the grass leisurely got up from their seats. As they recalled the familiar objects from their memories, someone shouted. It was a scream.

“Natra!”

Aaah!

And that scream spread to the people like water ripples.

Just two years and six months ago.

The invasion of Natra and the horror of the strange wormhole were still in people’s hearts.

An emergency broadcast soon flowed from French television. 

The emergency broadcast that started in France also flowed from broadcasting stations in various countries around the world.

Along with the images of people running away from Champ de Mars, the images of spaceships landing on the square were shown.

People who remembered those who disappeared through the strange wormhole held hands with their precious ones next to them.

Phones rang with calls from people looking for their loved ones. 

Parents who sent their children to school ran to school anxiously.

Natra made the whole world uneasy just by appearing.

From the largest spaceship, Jin Natra came down. 

He looked at the people running away. 

He looked at the earthlings who hugged their families and lovers tightly and ran away. 

Jin Natra’s expression did not change at all.

“Set up the wormhole.”

“Yes!”

Something came down from the spaceship that Jin Natra was riding. 

It was a huge machine. 

The technicians and scholars who came down from the spaceship installed a wormhole generator in the square. 

While they were doing that, a new spaceship appeared in the sky.

The knights and soldiers were confused by the appearance of the unknown spaceship.

Bel Natra.

She was the daughter of the former king, who was a strong candidate for the next successor.

Jin Natra gave another order to the knights and soldiers who were shaken.

“Stop Bel Natra.”

The knights who knew that Jin Natra had the Time Stone protected him like a shield. 

The soldiers who knew nothing had no choice but to follow.

Meanwhile, the technicians and scholars moved. 

A large wormhole generator was installed in the middle of the square. 

The four legs of the machine dug into the ground. 

They stretched into the ground as if to fix it completely.

“…It’s done. Just set the coordinates and place the Time Stone here.”

At the scholar’s words, Jin Natra climbed up on top of the wormhole generator. 

He set the coordinates familiarly and placed his hand on the spot where he had to put the Time Stone.

A black shadow rose behind Jin Natra.

The scholar’s eyes widened as he looked at Jin Natra. 

Black cracks, like branches, were growing from Jin Natra’s neck to his ears.

Vroom.

The machine activated as Jin Natra’s power was injected. 

The machine that was vibrating loudly shot a light into the air.

Inside the spaceship that had just landed in Paris Mars Square, Bel Natra looked up at the blue light that soared into the sky.

“…What is that?!”

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s a wormhole!”

Shadowman, who would wake up even in his sleep if he heard the word wormhole, quickly turned his head and glared at the air that was wavering.

The blue light that looked like a line drawn in the air was getting bigger and bigger, as if it was about to open.

Shadowman, who was looking back and forth between Jin Natra, who had his hand on the machine, and the wormhole that had not opened yet, shouted out as he took out a window from the shadow.

“How can we stop it?!”

“It’s a bit big, but it’s not a strange wormhole, so we just need to destroy the machine or stop the energy injection!”

At Bel Natra’s words, Shadowman ran out of the spaceship. 

Bel Natra followed him. But it wasn’t so easy to run there. 

Natra soldiers with black windows blocked Shadowman’s way, who was trying to get to Jin Natra.

“Get out of the way!”

Shadowman and Bel Natra quickly knocked down the soldiers and moved forward.

Vroom!

Shadowman became anxious at the gap that seemed to open. 

His movements became bigger and his wounds increased because of his anxiety. 

Bel Natra shouted at him, who was trying to regain his reason.

“It’s okay! It’s not a strange wormhole! Even if you disappear into the wormhole, you can open it again if you know where the other side is!”

Bel Natra shouted slowly to Shadowman.

“We can save them!”

At Bel Natra’s words, Shadowman came to his senses and moved quickly again.

Bel Natra bit his lip instead of sighing with relief at his appearance.

He said that, but. 

The problem was where the other side of that wormhole was. 

If it was a volcanic or icy area, they could die before they could even go to save them.

But Bel Natra swallowed his words at the sight of Shadowman, who was no longer getting hurt.

Vroom!

The sound of the machine vibrating grew louder.

Jin Natra’s black shadow, which had been injecting energy, swayed even bigger. Jin Natra’s expression twisted as if he was in pain.

A moan escaped from him. But the amount of energy being injected did not change. It seemed to have increased rather.

The wind blew from the energy wave. 

The scholar brushed his hair back and his eyes shook.

The black branches that had spread from Jin Natra’s neck had reached half of his left cheek.

Finally, the wormhole that had been like a blue line slowly began to open. 

The blue energy flickered like flames. Bel Natra opened his mouth wide at the sight of the landscape that appeared between the gaps.

“No way!”

Bel Natra exclaimed.

“It was Natra!”

The other side of the wormhole was Natra planet. If it was Natra, they could safely rescue people.

Bel Natra felt both glad and dizzy at the familiar sight.

“Why did you connect Earth and Natra?!”

Shadowman, who had knocked down two soldiers, shouted.

“I don’t know either!”

That was the problem. Why did Jin Natra connect Earth and Natra?

While Bel Natra was lost in thought, Shadowman reached in front of the wormhole generator and looked up at Jin Natra.

“Jin Natra!”

“You’re here. Hero.”

Jin Natra smiled softly at the arrival of the hero who came close to his nose.

“Cut! OK!”
