Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 402

-Youngha!

-Hi, everyone! This is Youngha!

“Hello, everyone. This is Youngha.”

Youngha bowed to the camera and lifted his head.

The camera installed on the monitor felt a bit unfamiliar.

He had just reviewed [One Game] yesterday.

‘Maybe it’s because of the movie I’m going to review today.’

The viewers’ reactions were also similar to Youngha’s uneasy feeling.

-You look a bit different, don’t you?

-Youngha, please don’t hide it if you have any health problems

-Yeah

-No, he just gained weight;;;

-Isn’t there a disease that makes you gain weight when you’re sick?

-Don’t take jokes as documentaries

Youngha smiled and showed the camera a health checkup report that he had prepared in advance.

“I’m not sick. I’m very healthy. I had a health checkup recently. Here. You can see that everything is normal, right?”

-We didn’t ask you to show us…

-But I feel relieved.

-It seems like a lot of YouTubers are worried about their health these days.

-Some of them did find out that they had some problems, though.

-I hope everyone gets well soon

“I’m glad it’s not a serious illness. I hope the YouTubers who are sick get well soon.”

-Not only YouTubers, but also ordinary people seem to have a lot of health checkups, right?

– I did too. And my parents.

-A lot of people are asking how I’m doing too!

-The government has been promoting it every day, so shouldn’t they appoint Seo-jun as the ambassador?

-The sales of health products also increased

“I’ve experienced how movies can change people’s lives, but I still think their influence is amazing. I’m also taking care of the health of the people around me. I hope you all take care of your family, friends, and yourself. Not only your physical health, but also your mental health.”

-Yoon Chan

-I really can’t see anything because of the tears

The number of live viewers that had been increasing stopped at a certain number and fluctuated.

There were times when the live broadcast alarm didn’t ring, so Youngha chatted a little as usual and then started the movie review.

“Everyone here must have seen it, right? Please watch the movie first. Then I’ll start the review of the movie, Flowing Away. The movie Flowing Away is directed by Min Hee Kyung and stars Lee Seo-jun as the lead actor. It won the Golden Palm Award at the Cannes Film Festival this time! Lee Seo-jun and Min Hee Kyung, congratulations to both of you!”

Youngha clapped his hands and applause emoticons filled up the chat window.

-Congratulations!!!

-(Applause) and (cheering)

–

-Congratulations!(A bear emoticon clapping vigorously) Seo-jun said he watched Youngha’s video at Cannes live, so he must be watching this too!

-Huh! Really? Congratulations!!

When everyone shouted congratulations in response to that comment, the chat went up so fast that it was almost invisible. Youngha smiled brightly at the tremendous cheers.

“I hope Lee Seo-jun watches this.”

-You watched the movie at Cannes, right?

-How was it?

“It was good. It was very exciting to watch the world premiere. I was also thrilled at first because there were actors and directors around me. But I didn’t pay attention to them when I watched the movie.”

-I’m jealous. Watching a movie with Seo-jun next to you.

-But with Seo-jun’s acting skills, he probably wouldn’t notice even if he sat right next to him.

-222 It was funny and touching to talk with Min Hee Kyung.

“Flowing Away starts with the words that appear on the first screen. Along with the words written in a crisp font, Jeong Ga Ram’s voice flows out.”

-This fall.

-I decided to go on a trip.

-The destination is the sea.

-Solidarity is awesome!

Youngha smiled and continued his speech.

“You all know that the working title of Flowing Away was Travel, right? Until Part 1, I thought it was Jeong Ga Ram’s travelogue, going through Suwon, Cheonan, Daegu, and Busan.”

-The places were really cool.

-That’s why there are a lot of people traveling.

-There are also a lot of foreigners.

-The people who cry there are Seo-jun’s fans.

–

Youngha, who had teared up on the way to Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon after watching the Nth screening, coughed lightly.

“Until Part 1, when he met Kwon Yoon Chan and Kwon Yoon Chan’s father stole Jeong Ga Ram’s laptop, it was a story that made me smile naturally. Maybe it’s because they had been in sync for a step, but their chemistry was good.”

-I really watched it with a smile until then.

-But when I watched it for the second time, I really couldn’t see anything because of the tears.

-222 I didn’t know he was so thin.

-Youngha. Why didn’t we notice?

“The atmosphere was too good.”

-The atmosphere?

“Any movie can change its atmosphere depending on the direction or background music. If you put on a cheerful music, it becomes a teen movie, and if you put on a serious music, it becomes a thriller movie.”

-There are some videos like that on YouTube. They put funny background music on thriller movie edits.

Youngha nodded his head.

“Yes. That’s one way. The first part, which was different enough to be divided into two parts, was directed by the director as a healing story with a calm and pleasant atmosphere, so the audience didn’t see what they should have seen because they were swept away by the atmosphere. That’s why we didn’t notice that there was no food in the travel video of Part 1 and that the trip stopped in the middle and got shorter.”

-Huh;;;That’s right? There was no food?

-How can you leave out food in a Korean’s trip!

-The range of activity also got narrower. The background changed to the accommodation in the middle.

-I never thought of that…!

“The first crisis came to the audience who didn’t notice anything because of the editing.”

-I thought the laptop theft was the biggest crisis in this movie.

-It wasn’t

“Right. There was too much time left in the movie for that. But I didn’t expect that there would be so many explosions in the back.”

-There was no calm before the storm.

“After that incident, Jeong Ga Ram and Kwon Yoon Chan’s relationship got better after the rain. He also helped him with his finger when he choked on mackerel.”

-That was funny for foreigners

-Why do you prick your finger with a needle???

-But pricking your finger is really effective.

-There was also an English-subtitled lecture on how to prick your finger

Youngha smiled and said.

“It was a sensation at Cannes. It showed how Korean this movie was. But it was not something to laugh and pass by, although the audience didn’t know. The real story began when Jeong Ga-ram collapsed while watching the sunrise. I was really shocked then.”

-Lee Seo-joon is so good at acting sick

-I kept saying ???.

-22 His face was so pale that I was surprised.

“From then on, the situation changed rapidly. From the ambulance to the emergency room, Jeong Ga-ram’s mother who rushed in, the intensive care unit. It was like a storm that hit without a breath. And Kwon Yoon-chan saw Jeong Ga-ram’s phone.”

-That was Pandora’s box.

-Everyone watched with bated breath.

“There were things that Jeong Ga-ram didn’t show in part 1. The unedited original video brought horror and despair, and sorrow to Kwon Yoon-chan and the audience.”

-Once again, I say… Lee Seo-joon is so good at acting sick

-I really kept crying

-I still think of the sadness

“Kwon Yoon-chan learned the truth and Jeong Ga-ram’s past was revealed to the audience. He was a child who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. The contrast between the boy in the hospital and Jeong Ga-ram’s acting was very impressive. The actor who played the boy was Kim Ha-woon, who is a school friend of Lee Seo-joon.”

-He was so pitiful then and he was so mean

-I think it was more shocking because I knew how good and sick Jeong Ga-ram was in part 1 and part 2.

-He didn’t have a single line of dialogue, but his emotions were conveyed so well, I thought this was acting.

-I ran out of tissues crying

“Maybe most of the audience thought the movie would end there. I did. But it wasn’t.”

-Manipulation! Our Ga-ram is manipulation!!

-The scum…!

-No, why did it happen like that?!

The chat room boiled with anger. The moviegoer nodded sympathetically.

“Who would have thought that YouTube manipulation scandal would explode. No one knew. And the story turned again quickly. Kwon Yoon-chan told his whole story, but no one believed him.”

-It was so frustrating that I wanted to die.

-I felt so wronged.

“The reaction of the people who were going along with the manipulation changed with one post.”

-I didn’t expect the laptop to come out!

“When the manipulation scandal became a hot topic, and even the terminal illness was revealed, it became news-worthy. The people’s reaction also changed.”

-That turned out to be a good thing

-The doctor

“Yes. A doctor appeared who said he would do surgery on Jeong Ga-ram. Then there was a scene of Jeong Ga-ram heading to the operating room and the screen changed.”

-This winter.

-We decided to go on a trip.

-The destination is the sea.

“Yes. I think this might be an epilogue. It was a scene of Jeong Ga-ram looking at the sunrise and turning around at Kwon Yoon-chan’s call.”

-Kwon Yoon-chan: Hey! Jeong Ga-ram!

-Touching

-I cried a lot here too.

-His smile was so bright

-His complexion was good too

“The epilogue came out and the movie ended as it flowed. I thought it was just a calm everyday story at first, but from the end of part 1 to the end of the movie, it was a movie that hit like a storm.”

-I couldn’t watch it without tears

-I’m glad it was a happy ending.

-Ga-ram Yoon-chan Be happy

“If part 1 was edited happiness and part 2 was unedited truth, then part 3 was uncertain reality.”

The moviegoer said in a calm voice.

“I think that’s where the title came from. The audience and the people in part 3 just focused on what they saw, and were swept away by other people’s opinions, not knowing whether it was true or false, and just flowed along.”

-Ooh. I see.

-I was curious about the meaning of the title.

“I think Flowing Away wanted to tell us that there might be hidden truths behind editing. In these days when many stories are floating around, don’t just go along with other people’s opinions, but discern the truth well.”

-But flowing along is not always a bad thing.

-22 Thanks to that, he met the doctor.

-He means to judge well.

-I thought it was because of the protagonist’s name.

One comment made the moviegoer nod.

“Yes. Jeong Ga-ram’s name is also inseparable. Ga-ram is a pure Korean word. It means flowing like a river to the sea. It seems like Jeong Ga-ram is flowing to the sea. Uh, um…”

The moviegoer scratched his cheek and opened his mouth.

“Well. That was the happy ending.”

-…Yes???

-…That’s it???

-What, what do you mean???

“Please keep in mind that this is my own interpretation from now on.”

-…Was it really a harmful material?

-Haha… Haha… Escape angle?

“First of all, let’s recall the beginning and the epilogue parts. Both had handwritten letters, right? But the fonts were different. A blocky font and a flowing font.”

-…Hmm.

“I thought it might be because Jeong Ga-ram wrote it in a weak state, but in the first part, Jeong Ga-ram’s voice came out, right? But not in the epilogue.”

-…Oh.

“And the words winter and we are also important. And the white snow that fell in the epilogue.”

-…Ah.

“If you combine them all… My interpretation is that Kwon Yoon-chan wrote the epilogue and ‘we’ means Kwon Yoon-chan and Jeong Ga-ram’s parents without Jeong Ga-ram. Winter seems to mean right after the surgery. He had surgery around late autumn, but he wouldn’t recover that quickly…”

The chat room that was slowly rising stopped.

In the heavy atmosphere, the moviegoer rolled his eyes and continued.

“Uh… You know how there are scenes like that in dramas. Going to the sea and… sprinkling it.”

The viewers all thought of the same scene.

People in white robes and black suits holding urns and sprinkling white powder towards the sea.

-Aaaaaa!!

-Ga-ram

-…I curse you!! Movie acid!!

-Our Ga-ram… Our Ga-ram…!

“No, no need to curse…”

-I should have escaped earlier(regretful)

-22 I think I’ll remember it when I see it again(despairing lion emoticon)
