PAP Chapter 1

Q: What are your thoughts on successfully completing <Memories of the Waves>, this year’s most anticipated drama?d2b67b71e8aca588

-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.d302bb4b05fe8ce0

Q: I heard 65fc85ab76 that this is 1772765c23 your third project ccecc0b15e with Director Yoon 1b35717d33 Haejin, starting from f84b719296 your debut work. It’s said that 0e43298029 no actor has 7d5db84d63 received a casting eb105063c9 offer from Director 773f1aab04 Yoon more than 49540963e0 twice, thanks to 23bb07da87 his keen interest 19abfd6b4e in you. How do 0f487cce12 you feel 53c77f0757 about this?b16c4e023c2c441f

-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.03db00f4e0060d3b

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?74fe17cba7847527

-(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?2891d0ff2d478f33

A look of 7dcdeb29b7 displeasure settled over db7ed61887 Manager Han’s eyes 4949211c06 as he scanned 4b4c4e7478 the words that b739d15a39 filled a page 3ab87937dc of the magazine. Unlike a moment 23d4a9c778 ago, when there ba4e1ddcb4 was nothing particularly 1dd50f1bee bothersome, the following 42a84b175a question was enough ea3a869ca7 to irritate Yiwoon’s b1bc15bc5e manager.6376d1c9f10fbd5f

“I told Choi, the 472e0000c0 reporter, to skip this ae97a15435 question if it was d4eb317b11 awkward, but you insisted 3bcda1b71a that you wanted to 2f79d31d7c included it.”4e61ca51dcd814d0

A slender, outstretched finger 283998d775 tapped on a certain af81fc631a part of the open b6ca6e93e6 page. When there was 150c2c9777 no response, Manager e0fb9f9ef5 Han did him a796b3415e the courtesy of f2211ddbaa holding it up 92d25b2af8 right in front 4fa7fa10d3 of his face. Sitting across from him 7e90d11bd8 on the spacious sofa, a4b9604f49 sipping his coffee, Yiwoon 100fb87b8b remained stubbornly silent, as 4419069726 if a wall had 1a273af62b been erected between them.e6fe78e673492d19

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?028b64eea14cfe0a

-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)81a60ef840b189d9

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.3a6951109a3e9df3

He hadn’t reacted bdc7211179 until just a 09f485b95d moment ago, but 28419e3699 as soon as 5199b2c158 he heard the a36ff940df desired response, Yiwoon aefa2ad3ae responded immediately. Manager Han let b31f99f34b out a hollow 96c3745e62 laugh at the 68ec42fec8 unbelievably absurd speed 865c2944d0 of his reaction. It was 2562e8471e he himself 4c67f39f56 who had f28f810e24 told Yiwoon c5734b9576 to do 04ae73982b as he 1c04e1e47e pleased and cb0c94b7e3 not to 383ea86dfe worry about 42445030b4 it, but 567d1a0044 now he 1caab42e1a was regretting 53392cb7d3 it. d7ba6dba9c80942b

This was because, ever 727703bc0c since the magazine was abd8ff19e8 released, articles were popping ea1776c021 up, each competing with e42577f83c more eye-catching headlines than 41023f41ae the last.68364a64236c772d

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. dd969522cdf063a2

He could 8a068840c0 easily ignore 5599d7329c the difficult fc6f5753d3 questions thrown e9f6342fde at him cf5fe24a0f for the 7165c94d78 sake of c31fd7ca49 generating buzz. Even though he cefb425d47 had been told 97872c184b to do so, 6713412f35 Yiwoon would smile f1b2fc920a brightly and answer 0ba51d1e94 every single one.7756fe6450b4ffef

At first, he 687fd72cf5 would answer playfully, 43859e18e4 to the extent 0c39b17d8e that it was f0e008f420 difficult to distinguish ac0b52ea8d between jest and 272a884e1b sincerity, but these b7c76ad260 days he even caeecbd14e added words that b366111abe were completely unnecessary. While still uncertain, the 56d393e127 reporters diligently transcribed everything 73837bd1f9 that came out of 59a3f36ee4 Yiwoon’s mouth into articles.08ba84a1a5efd435

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.7b3297b64e0305dc

“So, who is it f9901e6584 really?”9f0cbcd99cb8e7dd

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.b186715fc288da30

“I’m asking you. Are you really not 6eb64c3a5d going to tell me?”659c5ffb24b30174

Despite the repeated prodding, f4872bbbe7 Yiwoon simply shrugged and 210a74eb93 took another sip of 3b33019779 his coffee. Manager Han was dying 9395275e59 of frustration, but Yiwoon dbd9193d8a himself seemed unconcerned. Sensing that Yiwoon 5a55416167 wouldn’t open his 87163793c6 mouth no matter 44502057d2 how much he a4dab62360 coaxed him, Manager a2397a26b2 Han sighed repeatedly.ce729b67d3e1f595

Looking at 960bb457db Yiwoon’s bright ff40ade72d smile with 78a765d2da displeasure, he 0c5a86f766 suddenly opened 3ad7ee859d his mouth 571e545f87 with a e69ff50a81 serious expression.f8625cfe90e6af51

“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?”4f0eb0ff0b43ef75

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.545eea2f853277ff

Yiwoon, with a twinkle 9ab1181a8b in his clear eyes, 8918213c98 pointed at himself with f76c0c6968 a long finger. The gentle smile f764febb7a on his clear, eb8c63d1ae innocent face was 8ca30cd576 enough to enchant 82d3a3a843 anyone. The dimples that d13cfe4496 appeared on both 36afc04c03 cheeks when he 5f9a0c450c smiled added to 3c87b80bed the charm of 095311df89 his beautiful appearance.403d0df41a58b61c

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.”3c24ad5c4746d079

Not ashamed of the 7d057337fb attention he received for c9e009f3aa his appearance, Yiwoon was c5b587d491 also a good actor. From his debut baf75e76c2 until now, he 8b76be7372 had never neglected b99d071e59 his acting training. With his natural 761edab476 talent combined with 8d1b873af7 his hard work, 2363211b11 he naturally garnered 9dbaa355b7 people’s favor.65b75687e991e827

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.a55c7490dbc2ccf9

Yiwoon’s left ba6c7c8ac7 and right 887f70618a eye colors 69106c4456 were subtly 35347ccddd different. The difference wasn’t 042d2458e9 so drastic as e687796623 to feel jarring, e61c35824b but it was f37fb980ad clear that his b414733bf1 right eye was 0b7940c2e2 much brighter. It was as if 82ab8f4b39 light was pouring into 71df93267d only one eye. The subtle difference in 0dc14235e0 atmosphere between the two 301cca1c2e sides of his face, 5be43b04df divided by the smooth 941a7abcde bridge of his nose, da00c4b071 made him stand out 096d26de34 even more.711ebf2e34913e3b

Since everyone around 028dc8d390 him sang his f15d7e5926 praises endlessly, it 6f406854d3 was natural that c0c90a3029 he knew he 1663532732 was beautiful. His appearance was enough bca0aa3b2b to make anyone turn 4ff31800ac their heads, but unfortunately, fb82761280 Manager Han, who knew 67c148943d this best and used 5591debceb it to his advantage, 9e40fb38c6 was an exception.c9a937cd0c710a28

As if he couldn’t hear the continuous sighs, Yiwoon still smiled brightly and stared at Manager Han. Seeing that he didn’t seem to care about the headache he was causing, Manager Han gave up first. As if he no longer had the energy to scold him, he extracted the main point of their prolonged conversation.4ac6196a3283c881

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.c2e0b396397497e9
