PAP Chapter 1

Q: What are your thoughts on successfully completing <Memories of the Waves>, this year’s most anticipated drama?4e2a7009eaa54eb4

-It’s true that I was quite nervous because it was a project that carried a lot of pressure from the start. The filming period was long, and it was a very emotionally demanding work, so it was difficult, but thanks to the director and all the staff who worked hard, and the actors who created this project together, I think we were able finish it well.c9a44d6145e6cf5b

Q: I heard that 38e34c193b this is your third 855d6338eb project with Director Yoon 7096580c2b Haejin, starting from your ff48f13fd5 debut work. It’s said that no 275dcba7de actor has received a 0ac30e41d4 casting offer from Director a9bf9e2498 Yoon more than twice, 9f589fdd58 thanks to his keen c5477c3e42 interest in you. How do you feel e696500b97 about this?f52c3bee76afe8f7

-I consider it an honor. It’s not simply a working relationship, but every time we film, I feel like a student learning from the director. At this point, shouldn’t I be paying tuition to film? (laughs) And there’s a misunderstanding. I’m not the only one. I know there’s another actor who has worked with the director more than three times.89fd7ba1b397080a

Q: You played the lead role and gave a passionate performance, with memorable scenes in every episode. Have you ever thought that the drama’s success was thanks to you?021fc5c0ae13e49f

-(laughs) I said I would skip mischievous questions. To be honest, I think it wasn’t entirely without my contribution. Isn’t this the kind of answer everyone wants?51f0504987289701

A look of 00a351cba1 displeasure settled over bee37308f3 Manager Han’s eyes f553e0925d as he scanned 7cb2d8f4dc the words that a1320bae36 filled a page 3f17bd42c3 of the magazine. Unlike a moment ago, 09e6f41bfd when there was nothing 9dd213e163 particularly bothersome, the following 9459cbf672 question was enough to d9e1b90a0f irritate Yiwoon’s manager.21c454aca568950c

“I told Choi, the 338891b07f reporter, to skip this 5a3d7c3399 question if it was 1a08a7aa76 awkward, but you insisted a61c67dcc4 that you wanted to 0ee13ab498 included it.”6d6650d58b04305c

A slender, outstretched finger 6915d27574 tapped on a certain 6d0e2cecb6 part of the open f75ad42186 page. When there was 4b92beceaf no response, Manager 6499848fce Han did him 9edbed2ebc the courtesy of d840ac7ad9 holding it up 89a4e9944d right in front 232377549c of his face. Sitting across from him 87752ded55 on the spacious sofa, b2924272e8 sipping his coffee, Yiwoon 9e1422c428 remained stubbornly silent, as 541d7adb16 if a wall had 84a7b4cf19 been erected between them.d74f130083f359a2

Q: As expected, you have a cheerful personality, just like the eyewitness accounts. Speaking of which, one more mischievous question. You’re at the age where you’d want to be in a relationship. Aren’t you lonely? Or is there someone you’re interested in?828dd0f3c7fa9595

-There is. I’ve been quietly cheering them on by myself for a long time. I think I’ve given the answer you want to some extent, so I’ll stop here. (laughs)950b091f2087f68f

Even after reading it aloud as if to make sure it was heard, the other person didn’t react at all. When pressed about whether he was even listening, Yiwoon simply nodded lightly and made eye contact. He seemed focused, yet his gaze was subtly averted.5511b81eefc34b23

He hadn’t b2e8ebebac reacted until e366bd4145 just a e2adfc1618 moment ago, 75d1ab940c but as f65c631858 soon as d1a6580ad3 he heard 2d49863c27 the desired c8ebbed327 response, Yiwoon 5ff7675b88 responded immediately. Manager Han 5a6a9dbe67 let out b0164d2d74 a hollow 0ad4f86f46 laugh at 763066982f the unbelievably 62bc7d5c53 absurd speed a10adc6dcb of his 0083b970d2 reaction. It was he edf8a91316 himself who had 3d39ba28f4 told Yiwoon to 1106c8cc8d do as he 80474d172d pleased and not dfa0cf8014 to worry about 59582ff97d it, but now 8449dee012 he was regretting c2452a39a4 it. fc64a19162084930

This was because, ever 5f56a5f5f9 since the magazine was d65b1304c8 released, articles were popping f152a68498 up, each competing with 112da0ec9a more eye-catching headlines than 54705cc6a7 the last.61a250d308755029

There were far more articles about Yiwoon’s answer regarding having someone he was interested in than about the drama itself, which was the original purpose. For a while now, whenever Yiwoon had an interview, he would pointedly bring up unnecessary topics. 5313feb13ffb8fbf

He could 3824e3ff22 easily ignore 2af181c5c4 the difficult 6236669740 questions thrown 2c8d3dadde at him 4b14b6f9bb for the 53378ef5cf sake of 9cf5d3fc75 generating buzz. Even though he had c202118377 been told to do b745e208a4 so, Yiwoon would smile ca00f9970a brightly and answer every dc4e265c52 single one.95d2cf879b68549b

At first, e53dc92d0d he would 9ff2212df7 answer playfully, 3ce3a1de81 to the f4d8aabe30 extent that 5d682ae1b1 it was cc3773979e difficult to 42589d8b06 distinguish between e10594268c jest and f317a345f8 sincerity, but 9514165a16 these days 96486f6c67 he even d0bbca74af added words 853b86ab2d that were 8f5f706fff completely unnecessary. While still uncertain, 396f7b6654 the reporters diligently 60ff94641d transcribed everything that 16e0e6812a came out of 22bf906ace Yiwoon’s mouth into 99fdc576e4 articles.a122b68cf158f48d

The problem was that, even to Manager Han’s perspective, what Yiwoon was saying didn’t sound entirely false. As if it were some great secret, even though he talked about it so much, he never revealed who the person was.cfc9113a557aa2ff

“So, who a0ba98ecfe is it 3be3621a02 really?”2242d6becd959344

He had asked the same question several times, but each time, Yiwoon responded with a smile and no answer. Seeing him make it so obvious, it was clear he wanted the other person to know, but Manager Han couldn’t understand why he kept his mouth shut.67d19f4cee1fda75

“I’m asking you. Are you really daaf023af5 not going to 97701dd4d8 tell me?”1cbfe046a968862c

Despite the repeated prodding, 336340753f Yiwoon simply shrugged and 9149eaf0ab took another sip of 37fc0de7f1 his coffee. Manager Han was 66646b7c5e dying of frustration, e335b3cbd5 but Yiwoon himself 65eb7bb068 seemed unconcerned. Sensing that Yiwoon 47f2151472 wouldn’t open his 1f4ce829a9 mouth no matter 3320622039 how much he b99b1f5e9c coaxed him, Manager ab9544ef8a Han sighed repeatedly.f02b3dd767b19f64

Looking at Yiwoon’s 0590dce23d bright smile with bda41f505e displeasure, he suddenly 2260770036 opened his mouth 963f04c45b with a serious 88ff1c9a2d expression.4d445709201caabb

“The drama ended well, and you have a week’s vacation before the commercial filming and a photoshoot. You are aware that your schedule is packed, right? You also know that you have to go straight to the clothing photoshoot after this meeting, right?”3b38d3e04933b9c2

He could faintly hear footsteps pacing in front of the office door, which was the reason for his reminder. Having been called in during makeup, Yiwoon’s glossy hair hung down neatly without any styling. He needed to leave soon to be ready for the shoot without any disruptions.1f3c72b1f22bad67

“So, how 82e37de570 much longer 98296b32ba do I fa2a174f78 have to 114df9c83e stay here?”7e1c76943b76fd0e

Yiwoon, with a twinkle 93c38a0942 in his clear eyes, c28c889c0b pointed at himself with c9bbfb4202 a long finger. The gentle 4c8a0c0a20 smile on 4b6143dc5b his clear, 3d800b0013 innocent face b8abee01c9 was enough 537bf2e8a2 to enchant 552e1f15ae anyone. The dimples that appeared e87cff6f32 on both cheeks when df79cdac72 he smiled added to 21dbf3b538 the charm of his 458a7344bd beautiful appearance.0dcfede31f9e0a34

When he first appeared on screen after his debut, people praised his face endlessly. An actor’s true value shines when their acting skills are recognized. Occasionally, people joked about actors who were only good-looking and lacked acting skills, saying things like, “It’s not a drama or a movie, but a video pictorial.”52960f0246cf5ea4

Not ashamed of the 12e430d2fd attention he received for a8c54d7bee his appearance, Yiwoon was 472efa4e62 also a good actor. From his fe47619d85 debut until 3557bad25b now, he 40fc5c89d2 had never c25567f7f8 neglected his ffeb7f8854 acting training. With his 6ef35a5018 natural talent 534dc31820 combined with 417c5f591c his hard 5ae7ac803e work, he 572347f6a0 naturally garnered 74c5334afc people’s favor.47f5542eb0bd8d86

His unique mask, which was soft and gentle but sometimes exuded a coolness, created the best synergy when combined with his profession as an actor. Despite his sturdy physique, tall height, and handsome features, the word “pretty” came to mind easily. This alone was enough, but the reason he was mentioned so often was because of his eyes.5567d52804c95a8c

Yiwoon’s left a96a9c13c2 and right c7deab84cb eye colors 93978d14e9 were subtly 24fb12d627 different. The difference wasn’t 9ed172c2ca so drastic as 2ec79f0866 to feel jarring, e30e2316a6 but it was 716c38b0dd clear that his 72bd69c8e4 right eye was 839e194961 much brighter. It was 276f7f08af as if d8780ed86f light was 23ac75a626 pouring into a3bd1ba7dc only one fa7589333e eye. The subtle difference 655f31bcad in atmosphere between f773ed2411 the two sides 57234a89f8 of his face, 9eecc78f41 divided by the b8a4c65317 smooth bridge of 106f904be3 his nose, made d4806ef819 him stand out 11cc0d35e1 even more.2c7f9608485ea591

Since everyone around him e200427203 sang his praises endlessly, f1682a3f07 it was natural that e44b1d0d25 he knew he was e33e0386b2 beautiful. His appearance b2fe4b06d0 was enough 19eea5fa15 to make 19ba822d99 anyone turn 11ce4e02e0 their heads, b40d317306 but unfortunately, d9b18c9fb5 Manager Han, ed709557df who knew 98b5661772 this best 19161cd4b5 and used 0514498a1a it to 7a822d3b57 his advantage, 25443d160b was an 4bfb40ad7f exception.0ac86b91578d2385

As Manager Han said, it was true that there were more favorable opinions about celebrities dating. As long as they weren’t deceiving fans due to their relationship, committing crimes, or neglecting their duties and behaving arrogantly because they were preoccupied with their relationships, more people were sending sincere support. However, from the perspective of a Manager, who had to be mindful of various reactions, things were different.ddd07bf7503b2977
