Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 460:

—-!!

Not only the ordinary people, but also the production staff and the celebrities screamed.

It was not a cheer of joy from meeting a star, but a scream that came from the depths of their hearts.

It was clear how shocked they were.

The first ones to regain their senses were the members of Working Man, who had experience filming with Seo-jun and remembered that they were in the middle of shooting.

“Seo-jun… Is that really Seo-jun?”

“Wow. Why is Seo-jun here?”

“Is this a dream? When did I fall asleep?”

“I can see a halo behind Seo-jun…!”

“Is this a hidden camera? Huh? Did the production team do this again without us knowing, like, find Seo-jun or something?”

“No, if Seo-jun is a guest, he should appear from the beginning. That would be better for the ratings, right? Why do they always do this?”

When they thought of Seo-jun, they naturally remembered the day when they filmed tag or hide-and-seek or something. Anyway, they were together from the start to the end, but no one could find Seo-jun until the shooting was over.

Park Young-jin and the members looked at the PD and the writers and the production team with a smirk.

“…I guess not, Young-jin hyung.”

“…Yeah. They didn't know either.”

They were definitely not the faces of people who knew.

Anyone could see that their eyes were shaking violently, their mouths were wide open, and they had dropped their sketchbooks.

They didn't even know if they were breathing.

“…I've never seen the production team so surprised before.”

Seo-jun smiled slyly as he watched the people who were slowly coming to their senses.

He pressed the end call button.

The friends who had been shining artificial halos behind him turned off the lights.

They all looked satisfied with the reaction of the surprised people.

Especially Park Si-young, who suggested ‘Jin Natra OST’ as Seo-jun's entrance song, looked proud.

“Hello. I'm actor Lee Seo-jun.”

As Seo-jun bowed his head, another loud noise erupted.

This time, it was not a scream, but a huge cheer to welcome the star.

“It's really Lee Seo-jun!”

“I can't believe I'm seeing Seo-jun here…!”

“It wasn't CG!”

Seo-jun smiled brightly at the people's reactions.

Choi So-yeong and Park Young-jin quickly brought Seo-jun into the shooting site. In the meantime, the cameramen came to their senses and turned their camera lenses towards Seo-jun and the members.

“…I'm a PD. I don't know if I got it right.”

The camera director scratched his head and said.

They were all so surprised that they didn't know if they had captured Seo-jun's appearance properly. Maybe the camera shook a lot.

“…It’ll work out somehow.”

The PD nodded his head with a sorrowful expression on his face. He felt like crying. Meanwhile, the writers went into a quick meeting.

Seo-jun greeted [Babel Tower] actors and [Working Man!] members. The actors of [Babel Tower] shook hands with him with slightly excited faces.

“I'm a real fan. I bought all of Jin Natra's figures!”

“Hahaha. Thank you.”

As Seo-jun smiled brightly, sighs came from here and there.

“Wow… Seo-jun, you look especially shiny today.”

Seo-jun grinned at Choi So-yeong's words.

As she said, seo-jun had released more divine energy than usual for the impact of his appearance.

‘Should I reduce it a bit now?’

He slowly reduced the divine energy that he had been emitting outside and answered.

“Maybe it's because of the ski resort. Noona.”

“Maybe. Is it because of the light reflecting in your eyes?”

Choi So-yeong nodded.

“Wow. You two must be really close.”

“Yeah.”

They admired the two actors who were chatting comfortably.

‘I hope there won't be any more nonsense from people.’

Seo-jun and his friends smiled with satisfaction as they completed their mission perfectly.

“But Seo-jun, what are you doing here?”

“I came here to have fun with my friends on my day off.”

Seo-jun smiled and pointed to his friends. They had taken off their goggles and were waving their hands.

They were born actors. Their PR was flawless.

“Oh… Oh… Wow…!”

Jung-hoon tried to say something as he recognized the familiar faces, but he covered his mouth.

The others tilted their heads at his incomprehensible reaction.

Seo-jun understood what he was saying and widened his eyes.

Scientist.

It must have been a reference to the scientist, Kim Joo-kyung.

“Jung-hoon hyung, did you watch our play?”

The others also opened their eyes wide and looked back and forth between Jung-hoon, seo-jun, and Seo-jun's friends.

Jung-hoon nodded his head excitedly.

“I did. I did. They are the actors from there!”

He looked at his friends once, then at Seo-jun, and then squeezed his hands in the air with regret.

“Ah… I really enjoyed the play and I want to tell you my thoughts for 30 minutes… But I can't because of spoilers! But it was really fun.”

“No… You… When… Play… You traitor!”

Choi Soohee, a new Sprout from the first season, grabbed Jung-hoon's collar and shook him, but he just laughed. She couldn't speak properly because she was so surprised.

Seo-jun introduced his friends with a smile.

“These are Kim Joo-kyung, Kang Jae-han, and Han Jinho, the actors of the play ‘MOEB-436’ that is currently running. And these are Yang Ju-hee, Jeon Seong-min, and Park Si-young, the actors of the play ‘Mirror’ that we did in middle school.”

“Hello!”

They hadn't seen [MOEB-436], but everyone had seen the play [Mirror] here.

They all clapped their hands and exclaimed.

The words golden generation popped up here and there, making Seo-jun and his friends laugh.

“So you came here to have fun with your friends!”

“What a coincidence!”

“Oh, but is it okay to film Working Man?”

At Park Young-jin's question, seo-jun shrugged his shoulders.

“It's fine. You already have so much footage that it will be hard to edit… PD-nim. Here's my manager hyung's contact number. You just need to call him once. I've already talked to him.”

“You're thorough, seo-jun.”

The production team smiled happily and took the contact number from Seo-jun.

The members of Working Man felt a playful urge in their hearts as they saw the happy production team.

“But isn't editing easy?”

“Yeah. They just need to cut out the part where So-yeong calls.”

“Right, right. If they cut out that part, it will be edited cleanly. Seo-jun, how about reconsidering filming?”

They all said jokingly, knowing that it was a joke.

The production team knew that too, but they quickly called Seo-jun's manager just in case.

He seemed to be waiting for the call as he answered it in less than a second.

Seo-jun blinked at the people who were laughing and looked at his friends. His friends were also blinking their eyes.

He scratched his cheek and opened his mouth.

“I filmed a little while ago. Don't you remember?”

“Hahaha… Huh?”

The filming set slowly quieted down at Seo-jun's words.

Question marks flew over the heads of the celebrities, the production team, and the spectators who had no memory of it.

Seo-jun shrugged his shoulders and put on his sky-blue goggles. Then he looked around.

“…Huh?”

It seemed familiar, they thought, but at that moment,

Seo-jun bent his knees and leaned back. Then he pushed his body back with his two hands on the ground.

With a snap, he landed with a pose, and everyone's jaws dropped.

They opened their mouths wide and froze.

Then they noticed Seo-jun's outfit that they had missed because they were too surprised by his appearance.

A white ski suit.

Sky-blue goggles.

And a back handspring.

The mysterious,

“…Freshman!!”

who had made Choi So-yeong's team first place with his splendid performance.

The celebrities, the production team, and the general public shouted in unison. Seo-jun and his friends laughed out loud.

***

“So, the freshman was Seo-jun and Seo-jun was the freshman?”

“When did Seo-jun start filming?”

The members asked and Seo-jun obediently answered.

“Well, I was having fun with my friends when So-yeong noona and Jung-hoon hyung came and asked me to film with them. But it was a Babel Tower promotion, so I didn't want to…”

‘You had to!’ They listened with interest as if they were adding their own comments. Seo-jun adjusted his tone as he spoke.

“Noona and hyung begged me so much that I agreed to do it if they didn't reveal my face or name. I honestly thought they wouldn't agree, but they said it was okay.”

“Jung-hoon. So-yeong. Good job!”

They clapped their hands as if they had seen a jewel in the dirt. Jung-hoon and Choi So-yeong smiled proudly.

“It's all thanks to the production team who gave us such a difficult condition. How did they come up with something that suited Seo-jun so well?”

“They also gave us permission to film.”

Clap clap.

The ball was passed to the production team.

They felt like they had found a gem in an accident and looked flustered, but soon smiled brightly.

As soon as they told the broadcasting station about Seo-jun's appearance, they called so much that their batteries ran out in an instant.

That also contributed to the production team's smile.

“Then you know what happened next. We filmed the quiz and got the gift card…”

Seo-jun took out a white envelope from his pocket and everyone laughed.

“I filmed with Seo-jun!”

The three general participants who had received the department store gift card with him raised their hands and shook their white envelopes.

The other celebrities also laughed along with Seo-jun.

“I was just watching for a while and was about to leave when So-yeong noona called me. I was so surprised.”

“Yeah. You must have been… You were going to leave?!”

Everyone was shocked by Seo-jun's words.

“Wow… If you had missed it, we would have never known that Seo-jun was here…”

The production team held their chests and sighed in relief.

The members of Working Man chuckled at them.

“We felt the same way when Seo-jun came last time!”

“Seo-jun was with us all along, but we couldn't see him! Huh?! We couldn't see him!”

“We owe you, so-yeong!”

The PDs and writers sincerely thanked Choi So-yeong with their eyes. Everyone laughed again.

“I was hesitating whether to answer the phone or not because it was a Babel Tower promotion.”

Sigh.

Another sigh of relief escaped.

At that sight, seo-jun smiled and said,

“Haha. But I thought it would be too boring to just show up, so I added some acting with my friends… How was it?”

Everyone praised him without hiding their admiration.

“I was really surprised by the OST of Jin Natra. It suited him so well.”

“My heart raced without me knowing. I have to binge-watch Shadowman after filming.”

The actor who said that his heart reacted first when he heard Jin Natra's OST spoke with a flushed face. Seo-jun and the others laughed at him.

“I saw an aura when Seo-jun took off his goggles.”

“Me too. I didn't know that star aura could be seen with my eyes. He's a superstar indeed!”

“Oh, that was my friends’ doing.”

At Seo-jun's words, his friends smiled and turned on their phone flashlights at the same time.

When Seo-jun walked in front of them, the halo appeared again.

“Ta-da!”

The people who were staring at Seo-jun and his friends with dumbfounded expressions burst into laughter.

***

The filming at the ski resort was over.

Seo-jun and his friends changed their ski suits, returned their equipment, and headed to the auditorium inside the ski resort with Working Man for the last filming.

There was no problem because Working Man was with them.

While Working Man was filming the last part, Ahn Da Ho arrived.

Ahn Da Ho exchanged a few words with the production team, and then took Seo-jun and the kids to the car after filming was over.

“That's how it happened.”

“…I see. I get it now.”

Ahn Da Ho's expression changed strangely at Seo-jun's explanation.

The kids laughed at him.

At that sight, Ahn Da Ho and the second team staff also chuckled.

As he sat comfortably and chatted with his friends, seo-jun asked Ahn Da Ho.

“Da Ho hyung. Can I have dinner with my friends?”

If they had taken the shuttle bus, they would have gone home sooner, but it was a pity to part ways like this since he would drop them off in front of their houses.

He was also excited by the unplanned Working Man filming.

Not only Seo-jun, but also the six kids sparkled their eyes. Ahn Da Ho had no choice but to raise his hands.

“If you get permission from your parents.”

“Yes!”

The kids answered cheerfully.

***

Starting with Seo-jun and his friends, the actors of Babel Tower and the members of Working Man also left one by one.

The Working Man production team would have normally cleaned up the set, picked up the trash, and packed up the filming equipment, but today they were glued to dozens of cameras.

“Ah… This one is shaky and can't be seen.”

“This one didn't even film it.”

The PDs and writers shook their legs nervously.

They filmed Seo-jun.

But it was from the middle. From ‘Hello, I'm actor Lee Seo-jun.’

If it was edited, it would probably be Choi So-yeong calling, Jin Natra's OST playing, and then ‘Hello, I'm actor Lee Seo-jun’ right after.

“We need that entrance scene…!”

The scene where the ringtone rang, the aura burst out, he took off his goggles, answered the phone, and said ‘Hello? So-yeong noona?’

They wanted to convey that surprise and shock to the viewers, but there was nothing that was filmed properly.

“PD! PD!”

Then, the camera director in the corner raised his voice and called the PD.

The PDs and writers jumped up from their seats and ran to him.

“The youngest filmed it! He filmed everything! The gift card part too! And with his friends too!”

The eyes of everyone gathered on the youngest cameraman who rolled his eyes awkwardly and smiled.

They would have normally asked why he filmed such useless things.

“You're a genius! Youngest!”

“You're a bonus! You lucky guy!”

Today, they cheered in unison.
