The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 103: Are You Retiring?



Chapter 103 <Are You Retiring?>

(Before you tell me that you don’t know me because I don’t appear on variety shows often, you should work on your sense of humor, Mr. Park Ju-hyun.)

Contrary to the tense atmosphere on the set, the broadcast focused on Park Ju-hyun’s embarrassment after being hit by Yu Yeon-seo’s sharp remark. They also added some sound effects that would fit a casual game to lighten the mood.

They skillfully edited the footage to show Han Tae-hyung and Choi Jun-young laughing and make the set look harmonious.

‘Well, if they miss this scene, they should quit their job as a variety show PD.’

‘Life Tavern’ suddenly became like any other variety show. There were some negative reactions saying that it used to be a calm and guest-oriented show, but they couldn’t do the show if they cared about those trivial opinions.

‘Life Tavern’ Yu Yeon-seo, slams Park Ju-hyun “You have a bad personality”

Yu Yeon-seo, who slammed ‘national dislike’ Park Ju-hyun, achieves the highest ratings ever for ‘Life Tavern’

As the news of Park Ju-hyun being humiliated by Yu Yeon-seo spread, the show’s popularity reached its peak since the broadcast, and so did the ratings. They had an excuse that the show’s character changed because of Park Ju-hyun.

(Haha! Yeon-seo is sharp, right? You should stop talking like that, too. It’s different from the current style.)

Choi Jun-young had to hold back his laughter because he had been hurt by him. But there was still a lot of time left to record, and it must have been awkward for the main MC who had to keep the good atmosphere until the end.

In the end, after the recording was over, Yu Yeon-seo went to see Han Tae-hyung.

[Did I say something weird?]

[No, I should apologize. I should have stopped you from saying something weird… I’m sorry. You must have come to talk nicely.]

He gently smiled and patted Yu Yeon-seo’s shoulder.

[I’m a bit weak to Ju-hyun hyung. He bullied me a lot in the past…]

[Is that so? I should have done more…]

Han Tae-hyung laughed loudly at his answer.

[Yes, this is a secret… but I felt a bit relieved when you said that.]

[I’m glad.]

[But don’t you really want to be a co-MC? You’re really good at it.]

[No, I have to focus on my main job.]

Like Han Tae-hyung, Park Ju-hyun debuted as a comedian in the 90s and had been called for various shows ever since. He earned the title of ‘national dislike’ for his frequent verbal mistakes, but there were also many shows that called him for that reason. He had a lot of friends in the industry because of his long career.

That’s why most of the cast members just ignored Park Ju-hyun’s rudeness. But Yu Yeon-seo didn’t. He didn’t need to.

-But isn’t Yu Yeon-seo’s smiling face scary?

The set must have been turned upside down then

└Right? You can tell by Han Tae-hyung’s laughter that the position of the drink changedㅋㅋㅋ

└└Oh, reallyㅋㅋ

└Wow, this is only possible because it’s Yu Yeon-seoㅋㅋ If it was someone else, they would have just let it go

└Wow, he’s awesomeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└I feel a bit relieved when I think of my idol being hurt by Park Ju-hyunㅋㅋ

└Honestly, I’m not that curious about himㄹㅇ How many people have been grabbed by the hair by Park Ju-hyun for attracting attention like thatㅋㅋ

└└ㄹㅇ His pattern is the same every time, it’s boring

-I’m a Choi-men, thank you so much, actorㅠㅠ

└From now on, any attack on Yu Yeon-seo will be considered an attack on Choi Jun-young and Choi-men

└└222

└└└3333 Choi-men

Choi-men was the official fan club name that combined Choi Jun-young and amen.

(Well, I’ve heard Jun-young’s story, now let’s hear Yeon-seo’s story.)

Park Ju-hyun, who was hit by Yu Yeon-seo, shut his mouth after that, and the show went on with Han Tae-hyung and the two guests as the main focus.

(We can’t leave out this story when it comes to Yeon-seo. He suddenly awakened after the accident. You’ve been saying things like that.)

(Do you think your soul changed, or do you have a zipper on your back…? You know, things like that. You hear them a lot.)

(Haha! I also watched a video on the video platform that compared Yeon-seo’s acting before and after 2018. I have a different hypothesis.)

(What is it?)

(What if he hid his skills on purpose?)

(It’s not easy to act that badly on purpose.)

Honestly, it was the worst when I saw it. He acts like that on purpose? Then he’s a god of acting.

(But, the aftereffects of a traffic accident last for a long time… Are you okay now?)

(Yes, I’m fine now. Nothing hurts.)

When he said that, he felt like he could hear the sound of Lim Seung-hyun and Lee Tae-gyeom rolling their tongues in disbelief. Later, he heard that some of the staff really looked at them because of their snickers.

(How did you feel then?)

(Well, I guess my attitude towards life changed.)

(I also had a minor accident, but I had a lot of thoughts after a traffic accident. Can I ask what kind of thoughts you had?)

(Um… Saving money is useless?)

(What? Hahaha!)

When he said that, he thought of ‘Kang Jin-hoo’s death. He felt complicated, but he didn’t say anything.

‘What’s the point of talking… It’s useless.’

Anyway, the reaction was more focused on Yu Yeon-seo, who hit Park Ju-hyun. That was better. He didn’t like to spill his story in public. It wasn’t bad to be buried like this.

-But can Yu Yeon-seo do that?

Park Ju-hyun has been in the show business for years, isn’t there any backlash? Is it okay to attack him like that?

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└└Why are you laughing?

To Yeon Seo, the aftermath lololol

The aftermath? What did Park Juhyun say?

[We’re really sorry. We shouldn’t have called you…]

Rather, I got an apology from the production team.

And whether it was good or bad, Park Juhyun also responded enthusiastically to Yeon Seo’s words at the end of the shooting. He must have been busy with his calculator. He probably thought that if he got attention like this, he could move to a cable TV and star in a program that would attract a lot of controversy.

[Hey, I felt so relieved. If you need my help later, just call me.]

Choi Junyoung patted Yeon Seo’s back after the shooting. He must have been bitter about what he had suffered from Park Juhyun before. He kept making reactions like ‘Wow.’ ‘Wow, you really tore him apart.’ as if he had eaten a bowl of rice soup.

[But I’m a bit worried.]

[Who’s going to say anything to you?]

[Of course. Not to me, but to you.]

So, what if Park Juhyun, who can’t say anything to Yeon Seo, takes it out on me? That’s what he meant, right? Thinking that, Choi Junyoung gave Yeon Seo a thumbs up with a big smile.

[You’re really something.]

Anyway, the reaction after the broadcast was good, so let’s stop watching.

He turned off the screen and leaned back comfortably on the chair. Yeon Seo spun the chair around.

“Why are you here again?”

Han Juno, who opened the door of the president’s office, brushed off his surprised heart as he saw Yeon Seo sitting comfortably as if it was his own office.

“The president’s chair is comfortable.”

“I’ll just give you that chair. Go home.”

Yeon Seo opened his eyes and looked at the president’s face blankly. He meant, do you think I can’t buy a chair like this? The president sighed.

“Do you want to torture me?”

“Torture? I come often and the president likes it. Don’t you?”

He couldn’t argue, so he coughed and sat on the sofa for guests as if he was used to it. He was already coveting Yeon Seo, whose stock price was rising.

And by chance, Yeon Seo’s frequent visits to the company were caught. The president, who thought this was the time, smeared saliva to the people who coveted him, saying ‘He doesn’t have to come, but he comes to the company every time’ ‘He’s really close to me. He has no intention of changing his agency for a while.’

By the way, there are also people who are stuck in cafes near the company like idol fans. They say they come from abroad to see Yeon Seo, but well… it must be exaggerated.

“Other presidents are busy running around, but our president isn’t busy?”

“Hey, I was busy with industry people until yesterday. You always come when I’m free? What is it this time, a script?”

Yeon Seo nodded his head vaguely. The president rolled his eyes and grumbled. If he needed a script, he should have asked Itaegyeom as usual… He felt awkward and went to the news section of the portal site. The president jumped up.

“Yeon Seo.”

“Why are you suddenly calling me so kindly?”

“Are you retiring?”

“What are you talking about?”

The president, who came closer, pushed his phone screen in front of Yeon Seo’s eyes.

Yeon Seo, retiring from the entertainment industry and taking over the company… inherited JSENM stocks

Oh, the embargo must have been lifted. He touched the president’s phone screen with his finger.

JSENM vice president Choi Yujin, gave his son Yeon Seo stocks… JSENM succession structure changes

[Economy] JSENM decides to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders next month “The appointment of Yeon Seo as an inside director”

Yeon Seo, who received JSENM shares, not illegal… inheritance and gift tax big lump sum payment issue

Some of them were deliberately leaked by Juseong, but other media outlets copied and wrote the news, and it was going up in real time.

“Why are you making such a fuss about getting a few stocks?”

“It’s not just a few, is it? The tax is… huh, did you really pay this much?”

“Well, similar.”

“Wow… you must be really rich.”

Yeon Seo didn’t answer. Actually, he didn’t expect Choi Yujin to give him so much stake… so he had to pay a lot of taxes. Fortunately, he had the original inheritance and the assets he had grown hard, but he had to work hard to make up for it. I wonder if Cheon director has any news…

“Are you going to move to JS entertainment?”

“I’m not changing my agency, I’m getting a seat at the headquarters. Didn’t you read the article?”

“No… I know that. But there’s a possibility, right?”

The president answered in a crawling voice. Yeon Seo crossed his arms. Honestly, he thought he would move someday, but he was annoyed now. If he wanted to move, he had to negotiate the contract terms one by one… Why don’t I just buy Hailo Media? I have enough money left.

He was distracted by the sound of the door opening.

“Hey, Yeon Seo. Are you going to the year-end awards ceremony? Oh… the president is here too.”

“This is my office, you know?”

“Oh, right.”

He shrugged it off and approached Yeon Seo. The president’s shoulders drooped.

“By the way, the year-end awards ceremony?”

“You got a lot of nominations for ‘Evil Spirit’.”

Oh, the acting awards on public broadcasting. Come to think of it, he had been to music and film festivals, but he had never been to the year-end acting awards. ‘Dreaming’ was a JSTV work that didn’t have an awards ceremony, and ‘The Deprived People’ would be released next year on the OTT platform.

“What did I get?”

“Best character award and best couple award…”

“Best couple award?”

“Yeah. It’s 100% voted by the viewers. You can think of it as a popularity award. Oh? There’s also a separate popularity award for men and women. This is also a fan vote.”

Popularity award… Well, I won’t go empty-handed. Yeon Seo nodded his head.

“And the best genre acting award, the producer’s award, ‘Evil Spirit’ also got the best work award…”

“Is there more?”

“I guess it’s because the ratings were good for the first time in a long time. They put everything on the list. There’s also a new award this time.”

“Really?”

“Are you going?”

He didn’t think for long.

“I’ll go.”

I should get some clothes made for a long time.
