Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 251

Lee Seo-jun’s official fan club [From Sprouts].

[From Sprouts] started from a fan cafe that was created 10 years ago.

The people who made that fan cafe were having a conversation in a small cafe.

“I never dreamed it would grow so big…”

One of the three administrators who was browsing the fan cafe on their phone, nicknamed [Sprinkler], made a bored expression at the number of members that was vastly different from back then. 

Nicknamed [Sunshine], who was drinking a beverage with a lot of whipped cream, smiled brightly.

“It was so funny back then! You made the fan cafe while crying after watching the movie.”

The person who made Lee Seo-jun’s fan cafe while crying after watching Shadowman1, nicknamed [Sob Sob], didn’t realize that Sunshine was teasing him and drank his coffee with a proud face.

“He didn’t care about celebrities and only studied, but he said ‘This actor will succeed. I’ll make it happen!’ while making it. His voice and expression were very serious, but he kept crying. How funny was that? I haven’t forgotten anything even after 10 years!”

Sunshine laughed out loud.

“I thought he wouldn’t do anything like fangirling.”

“Me too! He didn’t do it before, but when he did, he got hooked so fast. Who would have thought that the small fan cafe would be recognized as an official fan club and even apply its name to the fan club. Amazing. Sob Sob.”

“Leave your name in the cafe and what is Sob Sob. But why am I Sprinkler?”

“What do sprouts need to grow well into trees? Of course, good soil, bright sunshine, and cool water! You’re in charge of cool water!”

“No. Out of all the things you could have chosen, why Sprinkler?”

“Because it’s funny?”

Sprinkler poked Sunshine’s side hard. 

Ouch! 

Even though there was a sound, Sob Sob didn’t pay attention. 

As always, he entered the fan cafe on his phone.

A picture of Seo-jun smiling brightly at the fans’ birthday celebration event in March decorated the first screen of the cafe. 

It was a picture that made him smile whenever he saw it.

[I edited the book concert photos!]

[I went on a tour with Lee Seo-jun (domestic)]

[I’m sharing Seo-jun’s wallpaper!]

Many posts were created and comments were added in an instant. 

Sob Sob felt his chest tighten at the lively activities of the fans.

Sob Sob, who was almost the first official fan of Seo-jun except for his acquaintances.

The fan cafe [From Sprouts] that Sob Sob made after watching Shadowman1 had been 10 years since it was created.

As Seo-jun continued to work on various genres of works, Seo-jun’s fans also diversified.

From children fans who liked ‘Spring’ to middle-aged fans who liked ‘My Doctor’ and ‘Reverse’. 

Thanks to Plus+ who welcomed the movies that were released worldwide and Seo-jun’s works, there were also many foreign fans.

Fans of various nationalities and ages were active around the official fan cafe.

Sob Sob, Sunshine, Sprinkler.

[From Sprouts], which had only three people, grew up so well.

“But Cocoa Entertainment helped us a lot, so we could balance our daily lives. I was worried about how to do it when I got a job.”

“Right! Of course, I’m a freelancer!”

“Oh, the one who doesn’t have to go home?”

“…You sometimes hit the nail on the head.”

Sprinkler’s words made Sunshine look like he was hurt.

“But it’s true! I have to stay up all night today!”

“That’s not something you should say so brightly?”

Sprinkler made an absurd expression when Sob Sob’s phone rang.

Gray Byni’s composition, no.1

As the beautiful melody of the violin sounded, the three people turned their eyes to Sob Sob’s phone.

[Cocoa Entertainment Team 2]

“Oh! What is it?”

“Is it because of the book sale on Saturday?”

“It must be! We’re going to be the most chaotic! I’m going too!”

“I have to post an announcement.”

While Sunshine and Sprinkler were talking, Sob Sob answered the phone. 

He greeted them with a gentle smile, but his expression slowly hardened.

Sunshine and Sprinkler held their breaths.

“Yes. I understand.”

Sob Sob looked serious enough to be intimidating. Sunshine and Sprinkler started to worry if something big happened to Seo-jun.

“Did something happen?”

“What is it?”

Sob Sob looked at his phone for a moment and turned his head to look at his friends.

What would he say? 

They swallowed their saliva and waited. 

Sob Sob, who had a serious expression on his face, slowly opened his mouth.

“The WTV Film Festival voting starts next Saturday.”

“…Is that something to be so serious about?!”

“Phew! Thank goodness…!”

Sprinkler shouted and Sunshine collapsed.

Sob Sob answered with the same serious expression, even at his friends’ reactions.

“Of course. Seo-jun’s award is in our hands.”

Relieved that it wasn’t an accident, Sunshine quickly got up and clenched his fists.

“Right! How much did we suffer when he was nominated for the Golden Globe and the Academy! We wouldn’t have worried so much if we had voting rights! This time we can vote!”

“That’s right. We won’t just sit back and watch like last time.”

“I couldn’t sleep until the awards ceremony!”

“Don’t worry. You’ll be able to sleep well this time.”

“Calm down, both of you.”

Sprinkler, who was making a serious expression and talking to Sunshine, opened his mouth.

“We have to post an announcement first. So that Seo-jun can definitely get the award.”

It was obvious, but Sprinkler was also a fan of Seo-jun.

<From Sprouts>

[Announcement: The novel ‘Mirror’ will be on sale from Saturday!]

[Announcement: Seo-jun will not appear in the play ‘Juror’.]

[Announcement: Only related people can watch Yeoul Arts High School graduation performance.]

[Announcement: Yeoul Arts High School graduation performance will be uploaded on YouTube.]

A new announcement appeared on Lee Seo-jun’s fan cafe.

[Announcement: The day has finally come.]

Unlike the usual announcements that could tell the content by just looking at the title, it was an announcement that could not tell its meaning. 

It was a title that even felt Sob Sob’s seriousness.

[Announcement: The day has finally come.]

<Hello. This is Sob Sob.

I’ll skip the formalities and tell you the news that Cocoa Entertainment gave me first.

The day has finally come.

The voting for the WTV Film Festival will start next Saturday for a week.

The categories that Lee Seo-jun is nominated for are ‘Best Villain Award’ and ‘Best Acting Award’.

Please vote for him.>

“I posted it.”

Sob Sob’s house, which was closest to the cafe.

Sprinkler, who was making a background image to decorate the main page of the fan cafe, read Sob Sob’s announcement and nodded his head vigorously.

“Everyone will wonder what’s going on.”

“Look at the comments.”

“Huh?”

Sprinkler looked at the comments on Sob Sob’s face, who was smiling contentedly.

-It’s finally this day.

-I’ve been waiting for this day!

-I guessed it from the title!

“…I don’t know anymore.”

Sprinkler turned his head back to his laptop.

“I posted an announcement too!”

Sunshine shouted. Sprinkler sighed and read Sunshine’s announcement.

[Announcement: How to vote for the WTV Film Festival!]

<Hello. This is Sunshine!

Do you remember how desperate we were when we didn’t have voting rights for the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards? I remember it very well!

Finally! We have voting rights!

We have to vote if we have voting rights!

You don’t remember what happened 8 years ago? Just trust me! You can vote by following the steps below!

Let’s all vote!>

Sprinkler tapped his forehead.

‘Well. Fine. It’s always like this when he writes an announcement.’

He tried to ignore it and focused on his work.

“…Huh?”

Sob Sob, who was sitting in front of the computer, tilted his head. Sprinkler, who was about to turn away, opened his mouth.

“…What’s wrong?”

“The WTV website is down.”

“Wow! Really?! It’s really down!”

“Hmm. Is it because of us?”

“I guess so! It must be because of us!”

Sprinkler looked a bit proud and Sunshine looked innocent. Sprinkler typed on the keyboard with a face that was about to cry.

[Announcement: The WTV Film Festival voting starts next Saturday]

<Hello. This is Sprinkler

The WTV Film Festival voting starts next Saturday

You can’t vote even if you go to the website now, so please refrain from doing so

The site is down It seems like we are the culprits

Oh, you can break it next Saturday.>

-Sprinkler seems to have a weak heart, but he has a punch.

=22 Next Saturday we can break the site

=I’ll do my best to break it!

-Voting! Voting! How can you give us a chance to vote as a nation of voting!

-You don’t know how frustrated I was when I couldn’t help him with the Golden Globe and the Oscar!!

=22 Agree. If it was a voting format, we wouldn’t have been so desperate.

-Let’s make sure that Seo-jun can enter the awards ceremony with confidence that he will win the WTV Film Festival!

=222 Let’s do it!!

A little later.

Sprinkler’s announcement seemed to have an effect, as the WTV website was back to normal. He breathed a sigh of relief and uploaded the background image he had been making to the fan cafe main page.

8 years ago, 8-year-old Seo-jun holding a red popcorn-shaped trophy and smiling brightly. 

It was one of the fans’ favorite pictures that showed Seo-jun’s joy and happiness when he received his first award in his first and current life.

“It was so nice then!”

“Right. I want to see it again.”

Sunshine and Sob Sob remembered that day 8 years ago.

They were surprised when they found out during the fan meeting, and they mobilized their family and friends to vote, and informed and encouraged them to vote on other sites.

They were so happy when they finally saw Seo-jun holding the trophy and smiling brightly.

“We have to work hard this time too.”

9 days until the WTV Film Festival voting.

This time, all the sprouts from around the world were planning to join forces.

***

The writer of ‘Mirror’, Choi Da Ye’s interview and the WTV Film Festival made a fuss on Thursday, and it was Friday. Today is the last day of the audition for the ‘Mirror team’.

The last order of the audition.

Seo-jun, who was sitting still and feeling dull, moved his body around and smiled brightly at the sight of his friend who opened the door and came in.

“Did you wait long?”

“No. I was practicing and it went by quickly.”

Jae Han, who smiled softly, scratched his cheek.

It was awkward to see Seo-jun sitting in front of him. It was more so because the application form that Seo-jun was holding was his.

“It’s a bit awkward to see you like this.”

“I think I’m used to it.”

He was comfortable with the first and second graders who didn’t have much friendship, but the third graders were all close, so they were awkward when they came into the classroom.

Of course, when they started acting, both the third graders and Seo-jun forgot their awkwardness and focused.

Seo-jun opened his mouth first.

“Nice to meet you. Please introduce yourself.”

“Haha. Hello. I’m Kang Jae Han from class 3-2.”

Jae Han, who smiled lightly, responded to Seo-jun’s words playfully.

“You really look like a director.”

“The others said that too.”

Seo-jun lifted his pen over Jae Han’s application form at Jae Han’s words.

“Then let me hear your interpretation of the role you want first.”

Jae Han sighed lightly and opened his mouth at Seo-jun, who looked at his friend with a friendly look and changed his eyes to a professional one in an instant.
