The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Ch 167+168

Ch 167:

Shin Ye-won was such a top star, with a chic and cool image, that people found it hard to approach her. The actor playing the role of Oh Tae-sung was the first to make a move. He awkwardly approached Shin Ye-won and asked for a picture.

As he looked at the photo and smiled shyly, Yoo Yeon-seo, who was sitting next to him, chuckled.

"They won't say anything about it now, will they?"

"Oh my, how did you know?"

Um Dong-pil hadn't just been difficult with the director; he had also made cutting remarks to actors with less recognition, particularly the actor playing Oh Tae-sung. Comments like, "Even as an idol, you didn't bring a food truck?" or, "As expected from an idol, the acting is terrible," were some of his typical complaints.

"Who still discriminates against idol actors these days?"

Being old-fashioned, Um Dong-pil communicated with the crew through outdated methods, leading to some leaks of information. His treatment of people was also outdated.

Nowadays, people were more lenient with idol actors. There was no rivalry between actors since they operated in different spheres. Plus, investments were often driven by the passion of fans, meaning idol actors could attract strong investors. But Um Dong-pil didn't understand that, showing he was out of touch.

"Did you do something about it?"

Yoo Yeon-seo didn't respond, deep in thought, but the actor playing Oh Tae-sung took his silence as a yes and gazed at him with admiration.

"Things have been quiet since then..."

After speaking with Yoo Yeon-seo, Um Dong-pil had been dutiful during filming. He stopped picking on actors, directors, and staff, and even dealt with crowds who came to the set. However, people like him often start off strong but lose momentum later on.

"I should probably talk to him again before the effect wears off."

I need to make him believe that I'll take him to JSENM so he can really start imagining a bright future. Since when did I become someone who enjoys manipulating people?

"That must be because of my past memories."

His memory synchronization was over 70% complete. It was impossible not to be affected.

Anyway, the staff found Um Dong-pil's change puzzling, but they knew that Yoo Yeon-seo had somehow resolved the issue. The reason articles were published about Yoo Yeon-seo's dignity as a lead actor on the set of Snake was due to word of mouth among the staff.

"Alright, now that Ye-won is here, let's finish the shoot quickly!"

Shin Ye-won had a busy schedule. Plus, drama sets weren't as relaxed as movie sets. Yoo Yeon-seo stood up from his seat.

The drug investigation team began investigating the phone of a club promoter who had suddenly died and the dealer who supplied him with drugs. The common number found in both phones led them to top star "Yumi."

Han Yoo-jun, under Son Jin-ho's orders, went to apprehend Yumi but was suddenly blocked by someone.

"Are you an extra? Why are you so late?"

"Huh?"

"Go stand over there."

"I'm not an actor..."

Since Kim Yumi was nowhere to be seen, Han Yoo-jun decided to observe the situation from where the background actors were waiting. Soon, a luxury sedan pulled up, and Shin Ye-won, dressed extravagantly, stepped out.
