The Mise-en-Scène Short Film Festival usually doesn’t get much attention.
Sure, people in the film industry recognize it, but it lacks mainstream appeal.
But then…
“Kim Donghu, is he also taking over cinemas like TV? Bold move!”
As soon as Kim Donghu popped up, everything changed.
Having already made a name for himself with [Hydream] and as the representative of the Brilliant school uniforms,
it was a given that the popular and talented Kim Donghu bagged the grand prize four times!
You couldn’t help but be interested, no matter how hard you tried to look away.
Especially with…
“Director Lee Seong-deok raising societal questions? Has a society in need of ‘heroes’ arrived?”
The film itself posed small questions to society, and the impact was huge.
A short film even climbed to the 9th spot on real-time search rankings – enough said.
“Nah, Kim Donghu is crazy, how many bodies has he got?”
“Is he fit? Is he actually fifteen?”
“Can I download ‘Hero’ as a torrent?”
“Dude, please just go die in a fire;”
“But seriously, he’s ridiculously handsome. It’s like every time I see him, he gets handsomer.”
“Get [Hydream] ratings to 30%, then next is four grand prizes at the Mise-en-Scène? What’s the plan? LOL”
Just how far does he plan to go?
Is work really that non-stop?
That evening, while rumors swirled around the community,
people caught a glimpse of a movie ad on TV.
“…Endless Frontlines?”
The scenes made it obvious it was inspired by the Korean War.
“Do you know how many times this frontline has changed?”
“How many died just to take that hill?”
And there was Han Tae-geon confidently showcasing his good looks.
Fierce battles over one hill.
As the intense vibe seeped through…
“…Is there really white rice and soup over there?”
A brief narration wrapped it up against a black screen.
Normally, one would enjoy guessing whose voice it was.
But people had just been hearing that voice days ago.
“Is our Donghu oppa in a movie?!”
After proving how well he could act in short films,
that evening, he shows up in a commercial film ad just like that?
Ta-da!
With the Mise-en-Scène Short Film Festival’s four grand prizes as a springboard,
the real-time search rankings flipped in an instant.
In less than 10 minutes since the ad aired,
everything related to Kim Donghu skyrocketed:
1. Endless Frontlines
2. Endless Frontlines Han Tae-geon
3. Han Tae-geon
