chapter 4
Cheol-min Jeong and the acting test
“Oh, father, isn’t it the object of envy to succeed in this field more than a professional job these days? Wouldn’t it be a loss to the Korean entertainment industry if he had a son who was such a great person because he resembled his father in appearance, but if he rots in other fields?”
Jeong Chul-min continues to speak after breathing for a while.
“It’s a promotion right now, so you can take a one-month free course, so give it a try, even as a hobby! Learning to act can teach you how to express your emotions, and it can also relieve your child of stress from schoolwork!”
The employee sitting in the back office admired how our manager, who was not able to make a sound with his mouth, was able to pour out words like that, and around that time Yeon-woo’s father Cheol-woong opened his mouth.
“Oh, it’s just an event, so this is fate, that’s great! Yeonwoo, how are you?”
“Your father, I like it. I will study hard.”
At the answer that followed, Director Jeong Cheol-min cheered in his heart.
The current Yeon-woo has lost more weight than when he started school, and now the eyes of the people around him are gathered to a certain extent.
‘I have to teach this friend even if I grind my soul!’
Cheol-min Jeong, who is affectionate and kind, is a person who makes up for the deficit of small theaters with monthly academy profits to maintain a stage where the students who are still unable to leave the local small theater can continue to stand.
In fact, rather than being a resourceful businessman, he was just an actor who had a passion for acting.
So, the existence of Ryu Yeon-woo can be a basis for revitalizing the academy, which is gradually becoming endangered in the competition with small commercial districts in Daejeon, let alone competition with large academies in Seoul.
Of course, it was the appearance that I wanted to raise as an actor, regardless of commercial reasons.
“Then, Father, once I know that, I will consult with your son and then schedule a lesson!”
“Yes, let’s do that.”
Cheol-min Jeong shook hands with the student’s father, Cheol-woong Ryu, and once again called for joy in his heart.
‘It’s hard to find that kind of visual in Seoul aspirants’ pool. If you lose a little more weight, it’s not hard to find, it’s definitely not there. Even if you don’t have any talent, if you consistently develop a solid foundation, you’ll be able to get it right at once even in an open audition, which is a competitive rate of hundreds of people.’
Director Jeong Cheol-min is determined to burn his soul once again.
A week passed, and Yeon-woo visited the academy again around lunchtime on Saturday and visited the principal’s office.
smart.
“Hello sir. This is Ryu Yeon-woo, who will be taking lessons from today.”
As if waiting for Yeon-woo, who bowed politely, Jeong Cheol-min greeted him with open arms.
“Five! yes yes Come on, Yeonwoo, wasn’t the road going to be difficult?”
“Yes, it’s right in front of the subway station, so I think it’s really easy to find it. The building is also really big. I think it’s a good school.”
Softly, Yeonwoo talks with a smile on her eyes.
Cheol-min’s pride is actually Cheol-min’s pride as an academy moving into a building with a good location, even if it’s too much of a stretch.
“Then, shall we do a light test today?”
“Yes, teacher.”
The two moved to an empty practice room for a simple test.
Even Ryu Yeon-woo, who literally went through everything before and after childbirth, was a little nervous because it was a test in a field he had never done before.
Chul-min quickly added that he had noticed that kind of expression.
“It’s a test, so you don’t have to worry too much. The muscles, expressive power, and facial expressions used when acting are different for each person, so we look at the same muscles used when making a certain expression, so I’m not trying to judge whether I’m good at something or not.”
“all right!”
Cheolmin already smiled at the energetic answer of the sculptural face.
“First of all, shall we start with something simple? Let’s start by expressing the emotions of anger among joys and sorrows. From now on, think of me as an arguing bully and try to threaten me.”
Jeong Cheol-min, who thought he would express the degree of swearing, screaming, or swearing like a gangster, tested the emotions of anger, which are relatively easy to imitate and express even by ordinary people.
“Yes, I will.”
It’s a threat, it’s a technique I’ve always worn for survival when I’m operating in a dangerous area in my previous life…, will it work out well with my new body?
Ryu Yeon-woo, who was worried that the face of today, who is too handsome compared to the rather harsh impression of his previous life, would interfere with his expression, looked straight into Jeong Chul-min’s eyes.
Recalling the past, he said that this is a dangerous area in operation and that the target in front of him must be removed.
“Suck!”
Jeong Chul-min’s eyes widened.
I felt so much pressure that I could barely forget the current situation that I was undergoing an acting test in a high school student, and I wrapped Cheol-min in a moment.
At that moment, in the practice room like his own bedroom, the thought that entered Cheol-min’s head was funny, ‘I could die from this. He is a very dangerous person.’
‘what? Am I just being scared of a high school student?’
Being in a theater company in Hyehwa for more than 20 years is a story that I have seen all kinds of things, and I thought that Jeong Chul-min himself did not have the courage to go anywhere and get into an argument.
“Teacher?”
Ryu Yeon-woo called Jeong Cheol-min.
Cheol-min, who woke up from his thoughts by surprise, responded quickly.
“Yes? oh yeah Yeonwoo, with a pretty face and a scary expression, it’s surprisingly scary, isn’t it?”
“is that so?”
‘Is it acting…? Or maybe, where did he play…? I was told that I was ranked first in the whole school.’
Cheol-min has a strange imagination for a moment.
“Well, then, shall we try the more difficult emotion among the joys and sorrows this time? There are students who sometimes misunderstand, but I am not a love child, but a sad child.”
“all right.”
“Can you set up the situation so that I can capture the emotions? Or do you have any sad events to remember?”
It’s Jeong Chul-min who wants to help, wondering if there is anything that can be very sad in his 18th life.
Yeon-woo nodded as he recalled his previous life, in which he had lived a very twisted life. Isn’t there something that touches your emotional line?
“I’ll try it first. If it doesn’t work, please help.”
Cheol-min was excited by Yeon-woo’s positive attitude.
“Yeah, Yeonwoo, if things don’t go well, tell me right away. It’s not as easy as you think for an ordinary person who hasn’t learned how to act and forcibly evokes sad emotions.”
In fact, even in variety shows, when asking actors for acting, they often ask how quickly they can shed tears, and the general public sees an actor who concentrates quickly and sheds tears and says that he has good acting skills.
“Yes, let’s get started.”
Yeonwoo closed her eyes and just focused.
Do you feel sad when you think of someone?
There was no family in the first place.
As friends…, I didn’t have very close friends.
Colleagues who left first?
Death during an operation is very rare, and in fact, Yeon-woo in his previous life was just busy surviving a life like a treadmill, and never felt a deep relationship with the people around him.
The emotions of Jeon Soo-hwan, who had been slashed through the life of a fierce life, were worn over and over again, and the surface became hard.
A wall of emotions that has become hardened without even finding a hole through which a needle can pierce.
I tried to concentrate in silence, but Yeon-woo could not find true sadness.
“Sir, I don’t know what to do.”
At Yeon-woo’s words, Jeong Cheol-min said, ‘That’s right.’ He took out a candle from the cabinet in the corner of the practice room.
Cheol-min turned the light dark and lit a candle and told Yeon-woo to look at the flame.
Among Cheol-min’s motives for college, there is also a therapist who treats emotions through acting.
It is a method that makes you take a look inside yourself, like a kind of meditation therapy, with a skill learned from the motive.
It is Cheol-min who is using it well because it is surprisingly effective in guiding students who are not good at expressing emotions if done repeatedly.
Following Cheol-min’s guiding sentence, Yeon-woo looked back on his past life beyond this short one. I thought about myself, not others in my life.
I looked back on my lonely and rough life itself.
When I think of Jeon Su-hwan of the past from the perspective of a third person as ‘Ryu Yeon-woo’, who is actually a different person from myself, I feel more objective, and the pain and loneliness pierce my heart like a knife and cut deep into my heart.
The wall of emotions, which had been worn out and eroded and dulled, had hardened, but paradoxically, it was a precarious situation that would not be strange if it collapsed at any time.
A spirit that would have collapsed soon if he had not died during the operation in his previous life.
Thinking about it now that it has been gently stroking it and acting as a lubricant, it seems to be the pure and young heart of the original owner of this body, Ryu Yeon-woo.
He has a spirit that has been weakened by bullying, but inside he has a good and bright heart.
When I lift my heart that is struggling with it, I can see the desolate desert of the Middle East.
‘That’s where I died.’
Why was I born so lonely and died so lonely?
Why couldn’t I give or receive my heart to anyone?
Was there a resident at my funeral?

No, even the fact that he died would be a top secret.
Is there anyone who feels sorrow for my death and cherishes it?
poor soul
After only a few seconds had passed since Yeon-woo closed his eyes, tears like chicken poop fell from Yeon-woo’s eyes, embarrassing Cheol-min.
I didn’t intend to be full on the first drink, I just wanted to make you feel that there is a way to get your feelings out.
Ryu Yeon-woo falls down, pouring out tears and runny nose, and begins to weep as if his blood is dead.
On an unexpected occasion, Ryu Yeon-woo shakes off all the darkness of the last life remaining in his heart, and in its place, the good heart and innocence of the original Ryu Yeon-woo took its place.
Ironically, through the method of expressing emotions like the rhetoric that Jeong Chul-min used to persuade Ryu Yeon-woo’s father, he was able to shake off any dark feelings that remained in his heart.
“Hey, are you Yeonwoo? Ryu Yeon-woo?”
