The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 81: I don’t deserve to be treated like this.

Chapter 81 < I don’t deserve to be treated like this. >

After the ‘Welcome to the Guest House’ team left, many Korean tourists came to visit this place. I also had more work to do, so I was having happy days lately.

The guide started his post with a brief review of how it was to work with the team.

Mr. Yoo Yeon Seo was even more handsome in personㅎㅎ And I didn’t count how many languages he spoke, but he had no problem communicating, so I had nothing to do. And he was more kind than I expected.

Kind, he just wasn’t interested. Maybe he was quiet unlike the rumors, so they thought he was kind.

But what caught his attention was the last paragraph, not this praise.

However, as more tourists came to the island, some people showed too much interest in Raul and his family, who appeared on the show.

Some Korean tourists blocked the way of the child who appeared on the show, trying to upload him on SNS and MyTube, and rudely made him turn his head. I tried to intervene, but some young men from the village who happened to pass by helped me.

They said that Mr. Yoo Yeon Seo came to them personally and gave them money, asking them to protect Raul from the rude people who came after watching the show.

Why are they so detailed? Didn’t I tell them to keep it a secret when I gave them money? Yoo Yeon Seo frowned. Kim I-joon chuckled at his expression.

“What? Are you embarrassed?”

“No.”

“Yes, you are.”

I don’t understand why he likes me so much when he’s not even a member of the same group. Yoo Yeon Seo turned his body around and got out of Kim I-joon’s arm-in-arm.

“So, is this the reason for this atmosphere?”

“It’s because he’s amazing, because he’s amazing.”

Park Seung-hwan smiled broadly.

“You did well.”

Yoo Yeon Seo nodded slightly without answering. He didn’t like being the center of attention like this. He felt an inexplicable awkwardness and frowned, but people thought he was embarrassed and giggled.

“Did you expect this to happen?”

“I just thought it would.”

“Tell us. We can make money too.”

“Sister, do you have more money than me?”

Lee Yoon-jung closed her mouth. But she didn’t seem to feel bad, as she was full of laughter.

Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t understand why these people were like this. It was nothing to him.

“He must have liked the kid.”

“The kid is cute, right? And······.”

Yoo Yeon Seo briefly answered Jin Soo-ho’s question and fell into thought. He didn’t know why. He just woke up the next day and found himself looking for them.

“Let’s call it the price of the picture.”

Maybe it was because of his mood, but he felt like he was getting out of the illusion every time he saw Raul’s picture, so he thought this much effort was cheap.

Yoo Yeon Seo tried to change the subject and looked at Lee Jae-hak, the PD.

“PD, aren’t you recording?”

“I’m recording right now.”

They’re all in the same boat. Yoo Yeon Seo sighed. He couldn’t adapt because they made a fuss over nothing.

‘How much of a jerk was I before that they look at me with delight over this?’

It would have been a little compliment and a passing thing for anyone else. But the subject was Yoo Yeon Seo. He was showing a different behavior after the accident, contrary to the image of causing all kinds of incidents, so they were excited and wrote articles.

-Wow, but he’s really meticulous. How did he think of that?

-I’m a fan of Yoo Yeon Seo. What film should I start with?

-Yoo Yeon Seo’s personality was a barrier, but I like him now that he’s not like that.

-Why are you all talking about Yoo Yeon Seo? What happened?

└He’s dating Mi-dam.

└└Mi-dam??? Yoo Yeon Seo and Mi-dam???

└It doesn’t seem to match, but it’s true.

└Wow, really?

The public opinion around Yoo Yeon Seo changed from before the accident. The biggest influence was that he showed a different appearance in his main job.

-But isn’t Yoo Yeon Seo a psychopath?

└It’s hard to call him a psychopath, but he breaks a lot of things.

-Who was the celebrity who abused his power at the drama set?

-Did Yoo Yeon Seo apologize to the writer who he cursed at during Woo Soon-gan?

Of course, there were not only favorable posts. They already knew everything, but they pretended not to know and posted questions to re-examine what Yoo Yeon Seo had done before.

[Male Actor] Yoo Yeon Seo showing a different behavior after the accident

Our actor has changed~ I’m not filming, but I’m writing this because I’m frustrated by seeing only the posts that praise him.

First of all, acting skills, he really improved a lot. But did his soul change after the accident? He’s changed as a person.

But the funny thing is, Yoo Yeon Seo is originally an actor, and an actor should act well, right? Why didn’t he do well when he knew how to do it so well? What about the other actors, directors, writers, and staff who suffered from his bad acting?

And sending away the plagiarist writer, this is also just a good thing that happened to Yoo Yeon Seo’s jerk behavior, right?

“Ugh, I’m just trying to scare him. Why is he doing my job for me?”

I’m enough to cause trouble and interfere with the filming. There’s no need for An Hyun-seong to join in.

“Hey!”

Lee Tae-gyeom, who was clinging to Yoo Yeon Seo’s waist, shouted loudly. Even with an adult man hanging on to her, Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t stop walking. Lee Tae-gyeom looked pitiful as he was dragged along.

“Let’s just go quietly, quietly.”

“Mr. Im Seung-hyun, please take care of this.”

Im Seung-hyun lifted Lee Tae-gyeom with one hand. Lee Tae-gyeom opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“I’ll handle whatever the lord does.”

“Did you hear that? Learn from him.”

Lee Tae-gyeom made a sad face. The secretary said he wouldn’t get involved in anything related to the entertainment industry. It was up to me to clean up the mess.

“It’ll be fine. I’ll take care of it if anything happens.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Lee Tae-gyeom’s expression brightened up.

“Ready, go!”

At the director’s signal, Yoo Yeon Seo threw a roundhouse kick.

‘What kind of kick is that…’

How fast is that? An Hyun-seong barely ducked his upper body and avoided the kick. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Yoo Yeon Seo. He didn’t remember seeing such an action in the script.

‘He dodged it.’

Actually, she was going to stop right next to his head. He had more reflexes than she thought. Yoo Yeon Seo smiled as if she was having fun and threw a punch.

“Huh!”

Yoo Yeon Seo’s fist hit right next to An Hyun-seong’s ear. Even though it was a set, the wall made of a fairly solid material was broken.

“Ow!”

There was a line saying he was surprised, but this wasn’t the way to act scared and shrink. It seemed like it was An Hyun-seong himself, not Ji Beom-woo, who came out. He waited for the director’s NG sign with a desperate face.

“Is he doing that on purpose?”

“It seems like it. Shouldn’t he stop?”

“Wait and see.”

But the director didn’t stop. The scene they were filming was where I Tae-o threatened Ji Beom-woo. But this wasn’t the situation to go that far.

Director Son allowed Yoo Yeon Seo to have some free ad-libs, but this was too much for an ad-lib. The staff who were watching whispered quietly.

“Yoo Yeon Seo is at it again…”

“Yoo Yeon Seo did what Yoo Yeon Seo does.”

Suddenly speeding up was Yoo Yeon Seo’s signature before the accident. Of course, she never did this while acting, but anyone could see that this was her way of venting her anger at An Hyun-seong, who delayed the filming.

“It’s kind of satisfying, though.”

“Director, I think we should stop now.”

“Oh, no.”

Director Son turned on his double eyelids and glanced at An Hyun-seong’s agency manager who was looking at him. He said loudly.

“Cut! Yeon Seo, you’re too fierce.”

“Ah, I’m sorry.”

Yoo Yeon Seo, who stopped her fist in front of An Hyun-seong’s nose, swept back her falling bangs. She didn’t look sorry at all.

“I was too immersed.”

She said that and smiled at An Hyun-seong’s flustered face.

“You were so late that I got angry, I guess.”

“…”

“You understand, right?”

I don’t think it was such a big deal that I protected that kid who caused a commotion. 

The hint was too obvious. I should have beaten up those ignorant Korean tourists who harassed the kid, but of course our actor is so great~ They say things like that, but don’t they get tired of it?

They whine and complain about how I’ve changed my behavior a few times, as if I committed a crime against them before. 

They act like they have high moral standards and curse me for trivial things. I don’t get why these pathetic losers are worried about the golden spoon. Why don’t they take care of their own lives before worrying about a rich celebrity?

They don’t even know that this is all a scheme to wash my image. Can’t they see the signs? 

There’s someone behind me, Joo Sung-im. And my mom has a tight grip on the entertainment industry.

She makes me attend all the events of the chaebol families, and it seems like I’ve reconciled with my family. 

The current atmosphere is all orchestrated by them. Isn’t Joo Sung’s strategic planning department notorious for spreading rumors? Manipulating public opinion is nothing to them.

I don’t like the situation these days. The variety shows used to help poor people live better and had a public purpose.

But now there’s none of that, only emotional, healing, and parenting shows. And they’re all about rich celebrities feeding their kids in their Han River view apartments. How fun is that to watch? Why do they send them on trips with the +production costs? Doesn’t that make them feel deprived?

And even my cousin became a YouTuber. He got 100 million views and 1 million subscribers without any effort, just by using his connections. Isn’t that a scam? Stop praising the silver spoons and wake up, people.

Anyway, I think this is all a show. LOL

└Hara-bi, hi. Why haven’t you been around? I wanted to see your previous post but you deleted it.

└└Love Letter. It was taken down by the report rush. TT

└Wow, I never thought I’d agree with Hara-bi. LOL

└I’m honestly a fan of Yoo Yeon Seo, but his pre-accident fandom was more fun. That’s a fact.

└└222. It would have been more enjoyable to fangirl over him if he caused trouble like before.

└But Hara-bi is also mean. LOL. Why don’t you spend your time on raising your pathetic salary instead of bashing the rich genius? LOL

└Seeing Hara-bi write this, it seems like Yoo Yeon Seo is doing well these days. LOL. Please bash him more. LOL LOL

└└I think he’s in his prime right now. YY

└Can you guys talk in the fan cafe?

But the internet reaction is just talk on the internet. In reality, the public opinion on Yoo Yeon Seo was quite favorable. And this atmosphere continued to the filming set of ‘The Deprived’.

“Yoo Yeon Seo, you’re here?”

“Yes.”

He nodded indifferently at the staff who approached him with a friendly smile. He frowned as he saw the staff who were still waiting after he finished his makeup.

“Hasn’t the filming started yet?”

“Ah… Hyun-sung hasn’t arrived yet. Do you have a schedule after this, Yoo Yeon Seo?”

“No.”

“That’s a relief.”

The lead actor, Ahn Hyun-sung, who had star disease, caused trouble in various ways for the filming. He was late, and he tried to cover up his forgotten lines with out-of-place ad-libs when Yoo Yeon Seo improvised a lot according to his character.

“Is Hyo-joon not filming today?”

“Yes, we’re having a hard time too.”

It was better when Go Hyo-joon was there, but Go Hyo-joon didn’t have that much screen time, so on the days he wasn’t there, he caused one problem after another.

“I’m sorry!”

Ahn Hyun-sung entered the set with a bright smile. The director sighed. Ahn Hyun-sung’s agency was a big one for actors, and they had a close relationship with the production company, so he couldn’t say anything harsh.

“Hyun-sung, don’t be late next time.”

“Yes.”

As he went into the powder room to do his makeup, the staff murmured.

“Thank goodness Yoo Yeon Seo is here.”

“Are you not busy these days?”

“Can you take a picture with me after the filming is over?”

“Yes, sure.”

Yoo Yeon Seo brushed them off and looked at the script. He couldn’t concentrate.

‘I’m annoyed…’

He felt strange. But he couldn’t figure out why he felt strange. It wasn’t like he was seeing hallucinations. Was it because Ahn Hyun-sung delayed the filming?

“Hey, Lee Tae-gyum.”

“Huh?”

“Have I been too nice lately?”

He unconsciously blurted out the words and realized why he felt strange.

‘I don’t deserve to be treated like this.’

It was weird to say that he had been nice, and the person who said it was Yoo Yeon Seo. Lee Tae-gyum felt goosebumps on his arms.

“What, what are you going to do?”

Yoo Yeon Seo ignored his words and approached the staff.

“Hyun-sung is here, so we’re starting the filming, right?”

“Hey, hey, wait a minute.”

Lee Tae-gyum hurriedly followed Yoo Yeon Seo.

“You’re not going to do anything, right?”

“I won’t.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I’ll just scare him a bit. Why is he doing what I should do?”

He was the only one who needed to act up and interfere with the filming. Ahn Hyun-sung didn’t have to do that.

“Hey!”

Lee Tae-gyum clung to Yoo Yeon Seo’s waist and shouted. Even though a grown man was hanging on to him, Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t stop walking. Lee Tae-gyum looked pitiful as he was dragged along.

“Let’s just go quietly.”

“Lee Tae-gyum, get rid of this.”

Lee Tae-gyum was pulled up by one hand by Lim Seung-hyun. Lee Tae-gyum opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“I’ll take care of whatever the lord does.”

“Did you hear that? Learn from him.”

Lee Tae-gyum made a sad face. The secretary said he wouldn’t interfere with anything related to the entertainment industry. It was my job to clean up the mess.

“There won’t be any trouble. And even if there is, I’ll handle it.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Lee Tae-gyum’s expression brightened.

“Ready, go!”

At the director’s sign, Yoo Yeon Seo threw a roundhouse kick.

‘What kind of kick is that…’

It was so fast. Ahn Hyun-sung barely dodged the kick by bending his upper body. He looked at Yoo Yeon Seo with wide eyes. He didn’t think there was such an action in the script.

‘He dodged it.’

He was actually going to stop right next to his head. He had more reflexes than he thought. Yoo Yeon Seo smiled as if he was having fun and threw a punch.

“Ugh!”

Yoo Yeon Seo’s fist hit right next to Ahn Hyun-sung’s ear. Even though it was a set, the wall made of fairly solid material was broken.

“Ow!”

There was a line that he was supposed to be surprised, but he didn’t have to shrink back in fear like that. It seemed like it was Ahn Hyun-sung himself, not Ji Beom-woo. He looked at the director with a desperate face, hoping for an NG sign.

“Is he doing that on purpose?”

“It looks like it. Shouldn’t we stop him?”

“Wait and see.”

But the director didn’t stop him. The scene they were filming was where Lee Tae-o threatened Ji Beom-woo. But it wasn’t supposed to be this intense. The director had allowed Yoo Yeon Seo to improvise freely, but this was too much for an ad-lib. The staff who were watching whispered.

“Yoo Yeon Seo is doing it again…”

“Yoo Yeon Seo is being Yoo Yeon Seo.”

It was his signature to suddenly go berserk before the accident. Of course, he never did that while acting, but it looked like he was venting his anger at Ahn Hyun-sung who delayed the filming.

“It’s kind of satisfying.”

“Director, I think we should stop now.”

“Oops.”

The director opened his eyes wide and looked at the agency manager of Ahn Hyun-sung, then shouted.

“Cut! Yoo Yeon Seo, you’re too violent.”

“Ah, I’m sorry.”

Yoo Yeon Seo stopped his fist in front of Ahn Hyun-sung’s nose and pushed back his hair that was falling down. He didn’t look sorry at all.

“I was too immersed.”

He said that and smiled at Ahn Hyun-sung’s flustered face.

“I guess I was angry because you were late, Hyun-sung.”

“…”

“You understand, right?”
