Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 614

-Wasn’t there a lot of military specials in June?

= Maybe it’s because Lee Seo-jun was in the army? They might have a chance to film him passing by.

= 22 So I thought he would appear at least briefly, but he didn’t.

= The filming location was not White Tiger Unit, but another unit.

= You would think White Tiger Unit would show up at least once, but they didn’t.

-Is the Ministry of National Defense really not filming Lee Seo-jun at all?

= Are they just letting him go quietly? Ministry of National Defense.

-Lee Seo-jun White Tiger Unit eyewitness account + photo uploaded!

=(link)

Last month, Choi Tae-woo, who was assigned as the new manager of actor Lee Seo-jun, moved from the existing actor team 3 to the Lee Seo-jun dedicated team 1, and was monitoring the posts related to Seo-jun.

Whether they were singers, actors, or comedians.

It was a daily task for the company that had celebrities whose image was as important as their life.

If it was a good story, they would use it for publicity or as an episode for the broadcast, but if it was a bad story, they had to deal with it faster than anyone else.

[Title: I’m a former White Tiger Unit member…(with photo)]

<I was discharged five months ago…(skipped)>

Especially, they had to pay attention to the eyewitness account posts that had photos or other materials that added credibility, but fortunately, it was a normal eyewitness account of corporal Lee Seo-jun.

“There’s nothing special, right? Manager Choi.”

“Yes. It’s the same as usual.”

Army, Ministry of National Defense, friends, Universe, July discharge. Eyewitness account.

Except for [Universe], which was indirectly mentioned because of the works that could no longer be seen due to the end of the contract with [Plus+], they were all predictable and harmless posts.

“Then let’s go right away.”

Following the deputy team leader who got up from his seat, Choi Tae-woo also took his notebook and pen and got up from his seat.

The place they arrived at was the conference room on the 9th floor.

Director Ahn Da-ho was already there. The deputy team leader and Choi Tae-woo greeted him lightly and sat down.

Ahn Da-ho opened his mouth.

“As it says on the schedule, the filming will start right away on August 1st.”

“Then we’ll have to leave the country around the end of July as planned. Seo-jun won’t have any problem with jet lag, but it’s better to have no fatigue at all.”

“On August 4th, Su-bin has the final, so we can match it with the rest day…”

“But can he go to the final?”

The deputy team leader, who had met Kim Su-bin a few times and gave him snacks or candy every time he saw him, asked with a worried look. He was less than the boss’s daughter, Seo Eun-soo, but still.

Ahn Da-ho smiled.

“Professor Benjamin and Jason, and Seo-jun said they would come to the final, so it should be fine as long as there are no big mistakes. Well, even if he fails, it’s a rest day, so they can just meet and play.”

‘Maybe Su-bin would like that more.’ Ahn Da-ho said, and the deputy team leader smiled slightly.

Choi Tae-woo listened to the two’s conversation quietly and took notes in his notebook from time to time.

He had been receiving handover from Director Ahn Da-ho since the day after he greeted Seo-jun (he went home right away that day).

‘This is the car Seo-jun uses to move around in Korea.’

Cocoa Enter underground parking lot.

He showed him the most expensive-looking van among the many cars and handed him the key. Director Ahn Da-ho said.

‘Practice driving as much as you can when you have time.’

‘Oh, yes!’

‘And he also rides this car often. Keep the inside of the car as it is now. If you need anything, let the team 1 know right away.’

From the car Seo-jun rides,

‘These are Seo-jun’s acquaintances.’

‘Why are you giving me this…?’

‘You might be approached by someone who claims to be Seo-jun’s friend or acquaintance. It’s good to check their faces and names at least.’

The data on Seo-jun’s acquaintances,

‘This is the schedule Seo-jun has done so far that I organized, but you don’t have to do it exactly like this, just refer to it.’

Choi Tae-woo blinked his eyes at the pile of files that Director Ahn Da-ho handed him.

‘This is…?’

‘I’ve organized the schedule from the first time I went with Seo-jun to the present. I use an app for convenience, but I print it out like this every few months and keep it in a file. It’s a memory and it also helps me plan ahead.’

Choi Tae-woo opened one of the files.

It had everything from the start and end time of the filming, who the co-star was, how many NGs there were, how long and how often the breaks were, what the weather and outfit were like that day, and what he ate for meals and snacks.

Director Ahn Da-ho smiled a little awkwardly at Choi Tae-woo’s surprised expression.

‘I met Seo-jun for the first time when he was eight years old… Anyway, Manager Choi, you don’t have to do this much, just refer to this and manage the schedule well. Team 1 will support you, but sometimes the schedule changes on site.’

‘Yes. I understand.’

The schedule management method,

‘Are you going to the English conversation academy well?’

‘Yes.’

‘This is a list of English slang that is commonly used on the set, memorize it and it will help you.’

And English study.

Just like a martial arts novel where the master teaches the disciple everything, Ahn Da-ho tried to teach him everything he knew, and Choi Tae-woo studied hard.

As time passed.

He occasionally met Seo-jun, who changed places (from Cocoa Enter practice room) to work on composing, and had a conversation with him, and became quite comfortable talking to him.

‘I even had dinner at his house the other day.’

A dinner with a superstar and his parents and boss.

Of course, he had gotten along pretty well with the superstar and the boss in the past month, but it was a dinner where he had to shrink.

‘But it was more comfortable than I thought.’

He felt like he became the manager of actor Lee Seo-jun when he saw the parents saying, ‘Please take good care of our Seo-jun.’

‘…I felt like I was recognized a little bit.’

Well, he hadn’t done any work like work yet.

“Manager Choi.”

“Yes!”

Choi Tae-woo quickly answered Andaho’s call.

“Do you have a passport?”

“Yes, I do, but…”

“Then please submit it to Team 1 by next week.”

Andaho explained with a smile at Choi Tae-woo’s puzzled look.

“You have to go with him. To the filming site of Over the Rainbow 2.”

!

Choi Tae-woo’s mouth dropped open.

He had expected to do some ‘real work’ someday, but he didn’t expect it to be overseas filming!

“From the first schedule, overseas filming… Is that okay?”

And it wasn’t just an ordinary movie, but a sequel to the Academy Award-winning [Over the Rainbow]. It was an original work that Marine Star [Universe] was planning to promote with full force.

He didn’t know why he was more nervous than Lee Seo-jun, the actor who would stand in front of the camera.

“I have to introduce you to the staff of King’s Agency and tell you how the filming in the US works. You’ve been to various places for domestic filming, but you’ve never been to a foreign film shoot, have you?”

That was true.

Lee Seo-jun was the only actor from Cocoa Entertainment who had made his debut overseas.

He wanted to go and gain some experience, but he had nowhere to go.

“Seo-jun will have a lot of overseas filming in the future, so it would be better for you to go with me and gain some solid experience this time.”

He realized that.

Lee Seo-jun would have a lot of overseas filming in the future.

With that thought, he calmed down and stopped shaking.

“I’ll learn diligently.”

“Yes, I’ll teach you diligently too.”

Andaho grinned at Choi Tae-woo’s determined expression.

***

The day before returning to the base.

Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-joon looked at Seo-jun with a strange expression as he finished his five-week vacation and was going to return tomorrow and come home in four days.

“Is it because the vacation was long? I feel like I’ve already been discharged. If only my hair wasn’t so short, wouldn’t I look the same as before I enlisted?”

“That’s right. Just think of the four days as going to a filming.”

That’s why it was the last day of his vacation, but the dinner table was as normal as ever.

“Then Uncle Hee-sang and Aunt Soo-hee are going too, right?”

Lee Min-joon nodded at Seo-jun’s question as he spread some sauce on the hairtail. It was in season, so the hairtail was grilled to a golden brown and very plump.

“Yes, they’re going to watch Soo-bin’s second round and if she makes it to the final, they’ll watch the final too.”

That would mean more work for him as a co-representative.

“Well, it’s similar to what I missed when I was with Seo-jun.”

Lee Min-joon chuckled and muttered, thinking of sending a lot of work to Kim Hee-sang in the US, just like he did back then.

“Watch out! Kim Hee-sang…”

At that, Seo Eun-hye and Seo-jun burst into laughter.

But on second thought, unlike Seo-jun and Lee Min-joon who only went to the US, the concours were held all over the world, so Kim Hee-sang’s business trips might be harder.

‘Not that he won’t go, though.’

Even if he shouted ‘Lee Min-joon!!!’, he would do his job properly and cheer for Soo-bin for sure.

“By the way, Seo-jun.”

Seo Eun-hye called Seo-jun.

“Hmm?”

“If Soo-bin makes it to the final, cheer for her on our behalf too.”

“Of course. I’ll buy three bouquets of flowers. Big ones.”

The couple laughed at Seo-jun’s words.

***

Seo-jun opened his eyes.

It was the Library of Life.

He had been lying in bed until a moment ago, so he stretched lightly and wondered.

The Library of Good on the left, the Library of Evil on the right.

Where should he go today?

He looked at the Library of Good.

“I’ve already found all the abilities I need for filming when I was in the army.”

He had also found the ability to give as a gift to Jang Hyun-joon.

“Then I’ll go this way today.”

He moved his steps and headed to the Library of Evil.

Although the Library of Good had more utility, the abilities of the Library of Evil could also be helpful for filming villains or dark atmospheres if he lowered the grade.

“The problem is that it’s hard to find…”

He knew there was no search function, but he still had a lingering attachment.

He lifted his head and looked at the door of the Library of Evil.

Like the Library of Good, the highest-grade door opened, and it merged with the other library’s door, leaving only one door.

The life of the highest-grade ability.

He had a lot of time in the army, so he read the lives of the highest-grade abilities in the Library of Evil, and they were all lives worthy of entering the highest-grade library.

“Beyond imagination.”

He shook his head at the lives he didn’t even remember from his previous lives and put his hand on the black library’s door. The library door opened slowly.

As he entered, there were also a desk, a chair, and a bed. It looked exactly like the one in the Library of Good, but the color was dark.

He picked up the book of life he had been reading last time on the desk.

It was a book of the highest-grade life, but he had to read it because the title was interesting, regardless of the ability.

[King of the Undead]

He thought of the green-eyed skeleton doll that Kim Hee-sang had made for him.

He held the book that was white with a blue hue, like a bone, and sat down on the chair to start reading.

***

The next day.

Sergeant Lee Seo-jun, who had finished his late-year vacation, returned to the White Tiger Unit.

It was three days before his discharge.
