[Official] Yoo Yeon-seo Confirmed to Star in 'Demon'

[★Issue] Following Soldiers, Robots, and Superpower Holders, Next Up is a priest... Yoo Yeon-seo Cast in 'Demon'

////TL: in a chapter before where they were discussing this project, 'priest' kept being mistranslated as 'bride' so as it's becoming a current project, I anticipate it to be mentioned more often, so if I miss any, please don't be confused T-T.////

The horror genre is always a steady seller. Moreover, 'Demon,' despite being a comeback drama by a top-notch writer, had been pushed aside in the lineup. It was touted as a highly anticipated work for the latter half of the year, but the production progress was slower than expected. However, with the news of Yoo Yeon-seo's casting, sponsorship and advertising inquiries were already pouring in.

"I heard Min Yoo-na, who previously dropped out, is back?"

"Isn't it too obvious? They say he's been trying to get Yoo Yeon-seo's role these days."

In the small entertainment industry, rumors spread quickly. The staff responsible for casting drew a line under Min Yoo-na's name.

"Since it's over with Yoo Yeon-seo, let's focus on casting newcomers or idols."

Promotion with Yoo Yeon-seo's popularity was already at a level where it didn't need to be emphasized. They sought out cheaper actors to save on production costs.

"What about him? Seo Ha-jun."

"NV... Ah, those guys. I've heard the name."

"The domestic fandom might be weak, but the international fanbase is no joke."

Having many international fans meant smooth selling of distribution rights.

Honestly, even before Yoo Yeon-seo's casting confirmation, the production situation for 'Demon' wasn't bad. There were plenty of actors to cast anyway, and the production company was relatively well-known in the drama industry.

"Things are progressing rapidly now that Yoo Yeon-seo is on board."

However, the difference felt with Yoo Yeon-seo's presence or absence couldn't be ignored. They searched for actors to cast with vigor.

When Yoo Yeon-seo's name began to trend on the internet with the news of his involvement in 'Demon,' he met Choi Yoo-jin at an investor gathering.

"Who are the people we're meeting today?"

"They're either CEOs of investment firms I'm close with or individual investors."

Choi Yoo-jin, who operated the largest production and distribution company in South Korea, could boast about her son.

"I asked you to bring him along because I wanted to see him."

"Really? You should have brought him earlier."

The focus of this gathering was undoubtedly Choi Yoo-jin. She had already become a force to be reckoned with as an investor.

'Not utilizing such advantages.'

Many actors tried to maintain good relationships with investors. But Yoo Yeon-seo didn't need to. He already had everything. Just a few appearances in such gatherings would suffice.

Even the main parking lot seemed deserted, as if the entire restaurant had been booked. Yoo Yeon-seo silently followed behind Choi Yoo-jin.

"Are we late?"

"No, I just arrived too. It's been a while, Vice Chairman."

Some people were already seated. Their attention shifted to Yoo Yeon-seo, who followed behind Choi Yoo-jin. Choi Yoo-jin smiled proudly and gently nudged Yoo Yeon-seo forward.
