chapter 160
160 – Vacancies filled
A long red carpet will be laid out on the way into the awards ceremony hall of the Cheongsang Arts Awards.
This was also a kind of performance concept for viewers, with the purpose of showing who was participating in this awards ceremony.
The people who receive a lot of spotlight here are the actors and directors whose works achieved outstanding results this year.
In that sense, the work that is currently highly anticipated by people is naturally ‘Summer Without You.’
As soon as it was released, it broke all previous records, and it was an unusual film to be invited to the Cheongsang Arts Awards even though it had not yet been screened.
People were already convinced that this work would win the grand prize in the movie category, and naturally they thought that only one person could make such an incredible movie at this point.
In addition, since this was his first appearance at the awards ceremony this year, people were curious about what his appearance would be like, and at the same time, due to the influence of Go Quiz, they were also looking forward to his speech at the awards ceremony.
Soon, a black foreign car stopped near the beginning of the red carpet.
And there, a well-proportioned man and two beautiful women got off together, and the two women began to walk slowly on the red carpet, arm in arm with the man on either side, as if they had discussed it in advance.
The perfectly tailored dress code was white, as if to announce that they were the stars of this award ceremony.
At that time, the two women who discovered the camera reflexively waved their hands at the camera and smiled softly.
Clear light brown eyes and black and white hair.
Sapphire blue eyes and golden hair.
Perhaps it is because of the different beauty of each other that the camera shutter sound is noticeably quieter whenever the sound of their shoes rings.
On the other hand, the man who was receiving the love of both women was walking on the red carpet with an expressionless face.
As if their love was natural.
Thanks to this, at this very moment, he has become the public enemy of all men watching this broadcast.
Of course, it wasn’t obvious on the outside, but the man was currently very nervous.
This was due to matching the walking speed of the two women and the countless flashes of cameras.
Anyway.
No matter what the parties may think, in the eyes of others, it was a splendid appearance worthy of being the star of this award ceremony.

Seo Eun-woo and the girls entered the Cheongsang Arts Awards ceremony hall with such great interest.
Following the guidance, they headed to their pre-determined reserved seats.
And when we arrived, familiar faces were first sitting in the reserved seats.
‘These are all familiar faces.’
They were the main officials of Studio N Mix, including producer Na Young-jin and director Go Dong-bin.
When we arrived at the round table, they welcomed Seo Eun-woo with happy expressions.
“You are here.”
“By the way, didn’t you come dressed up too much to compare us to the old people?”
“The people who are still making corrections are old people.”
“Hmm. I will spare my words. “I will soon be in my 50s.”
Seo Eun-woo smiled bitterly at director Go Dong-bin’s indifferent words.
The conclusion is that there was no one over 50 yet, so this was a fairly young team in the industry.
Seo Eun-woo then sat in a reserved seat with the name ‘927 Writer’ written on it.
As he sat down, Seol So-young also sat in the reserved seat with his name written on it.
For your information, the seat was right next to Seo Eun-woo, and she was staring at him with a look on her face that showed some new emotions.
“What’s wrong?”
“I thought the position was finally filled.”
So I immediately asked the reason…….
For some reason, Seol So-young smiled brightly and sincerely, and she answered like that.
Of course, it was an answer that Seo Eun-woo still found difficult to understand.
“Shall I tell you the truth?”
At that time, Dahye Lee, who was also sitting next to him, whispered to him with her playful expression.
She seemed to roughly know the meaning of what Seol So-young had just said.
But Seo Eun-woo shook his head in denial at her words.
“Soyoung looks happy, so that’s enough. And I think it’s the same for you too.”
“… Okay? I see.”
Lee Da-hye, who heard Seo Eun-woo’s words, muttered to herself as if she realized something.
Maybe I, like Soyoung, have been waiting for someone to sit in that position for two years… Called.
The position of 927 writer has been vacant for two years, and they have been secretly paying attention to that vacancy.
But this year, the vacancy was finally filled, and unlike last year and the year before, they achieved what they wanted.
So, unlike Seo Eun-woo, who attended this event for the first time, I couldn’t help but feel new emotions.
And while those emotions were crossing, a sound was heard announcing the full-scale start of the Cheongsang Arts Awards.
[Now! The time for the Cheongsang Arts Awards has finally arrived!]
[Even though I hear MC Shin Dong-min’s comment every year, I still can’t get used to it. That’s why I feel honored to be here with you.]
[I agree with that. And this year, especially more amazing things happened than last year.]
The Cheongsang Arts Awards ceremony began with the natural progression of the hosts.
The first order of the event was, of course, a congratulatory performance to celebrate the Cheongsang Arts Awards.
This year, it seemed like the up-and-coming new girl group ‘S&LOVE’ came to give a congratulatory performance.
And Seo Eun-woo, who heard the news, asked Da-hye Lee with a puzzled expression.
“Why didn’t Hongryeon come to the congratulatory performance? “If I knew CEO Baek Jun-young, he would never miss an opportunity like this.”
“Hmph! Because I told the CEO I would never do it. “How difficult was it when you changed your clothes twice last year?”
Seo Eun-woo smiled a little bitterly after hearing those words.
Two years ago, Hongryeon was at the peak of its promotional activities.
In other words, if you think about the value of Hongryeon’s name now, there was absolutely no need for that.
After the celebratory performance ended in an instant, MC Shin Dong-min, currently the most popular member of ‘S&LOVE’, asked Yoo Na-eun a question.
[Better sheep. Is there anything you would like to say using this opportunity?]
Yoo Na-eun, who was handed the microphone, thought for a moment about MC Shin Dong-min’s question, then blushed and answered shyly.
[That… I really like author 927. Ah! Of course, as a fan. I watched Summer Without You twice! In that sense, if you don’t mind, I’d like to get some autographs before I go…… ]
“Yes?”
At the same time as those words were said, all the cameras in the hall began to capture Seo Eun-woo’s embarrassed face.
Seeing such an earnest request being made in such an official setting, Seo Eun-woo could not bear to refuse the request.
In that way, Seo Eun-woo personally signed an autograph for Yoo Na-eun, who hurried off the stage, and of course he couldn’t help but notice her in the process.
That’s because the two women sitting on either side of him were staring intently at him.
With a scary, personable smile… ….
The awards ceremony hadn’t even started yet, but Seo Eun-woo was already feeling tired.
***
The awards ceremony for the film category follows the awards ceremony for the TV category.
In fact, this year’s TV sector was literally a robbery of an empty house and a battlefield.
Not surprisingly, this year was the first time in two years that writer 927’s drama was not aired.
So, in the TV category last year and the year before, it felt like the grand prize had been decided from the beginning, but since that was not the case this year, it was an interesting point to watch to see who would win the grand prize.
On the other hand, the movie sector showed a completely different aspect than before.
At the end of the year, author 927’s film was aired very suddenly.
Until now, the film category has not had a one-sided structure where someone swept up all the awards.
Because of this, it was a competition with possibilities open to everyone, and I felt fortunate that writer 927 continued to work in the TV sector.
However, this year the completely opposite situation was depicted.
A potentially open competition arose in the TV category, and a literal thunderbolt fell on the film category.
There was a strong feeling that the grand prize for the film category had already been decided, and naturally there were people who did not like that fact.
However, the fact that a 927 writer can play an active role in any field if he puts his mind to it is also something worthy of reconsideration, and it is also an absolutely undeniable fact that the media industry is booming thanks to the very existence of a 927 writer. .
And there was a girl who always played the main character in the 927 author’s works.
Two years ago, the girl who won the Best Acting Award at the youngest age in the history of the Cheongsang Arts Awards.
[Now, next we will see the Best Actor Award in the female category. Can you all guess who it is?]
[927 This is actress Seol So-young, who played the role of Han Yeo-reum, a girl who can never be forgotten in the author’s first film, ‘Summer Without You.’ Please welcome everyone with applause!]
As expected, she won the Best Acting Award this time without any surprises, and slowly made her way to the stage amidst numerous applause and praise.
Ttogak- Ttogak-
Just like when I walked on stage two years ago to announce my acceptance speech for the Best Actor Award.
One step, another step.
Every time the sound of her shoes echoes throughout the awards ceremony, the applause gradually decreases.
Soon, just like back then, Seol So-young stood alone in the center of the stage.
At that time, Seol So-young instinctively looked at the camera, and she felt like she was making eye contact with someone who was watching the awards ceremony.
But there was something clearly different about her then.
Now, it’s not her fault…….
“… ….”
Seol So-young looked toward the participant’s seat, where a dark shadow had suddenly appeared.
No, to be exact, the 927 writer……
Seo Eun-woo is clapping for herself.
Yes. Unlike in the past, now he can look directly into his and her eyes like he does now.
Do you really know how much luck and happiness this fact is for you?
Of course, it didn’t really matter to Seol So-young just because he didn’t know this fact.
Because.
Just like then, she planned to inform us kindly from now on.
Soon, silence fell in the awards ceremony hall to hear her acceptance speech.
And in that silence……
Seol So-young naturally made eye contact with Seo Eun-woo, and for some reason she smiled faintly and slowly opened her mouth.
