Chapter 106 < Our Young Master >
(The Best Actor Award goes to…)
(Congratulations to Yoo Yeon Seo of ‘Evil Spirit’.)
At the announcer’s voice, Yoo Yeon Seo rose from his seat and walked briskly to the stage. The actors of ‘Evil Spirit’ team gave him a standing ovation, and the audience cheered him on without losing their enthusiasm.
“Are you watching that again?”
“Well, I missed it last night.”
Park Geum-ju sighed and sat on the sofa, looking at her husband who smiled proudly.
(First of all, it was an honor to work with our ‘Evil Spirit’ team. Ha-jun, Min-ah, and…)
His handso face stood out more with his neatly combed hair. The cara seed to know that too, as it only focused on Yoo Yeon Seo when he received the award, ignoring the audience and the other actors.
(And I want to thank my fans, my agency staff, and my secretary for always supporting …)
He didn’t have much to say for his acceptance speech, he just calmly expressed his gratitude.
(And lastly, um… my family. My parents, my brother, and my grandfather. Thank you.)
“Huh… That kid knows how to take care of his grandfather.”
In fact, Yoo Yeon Seo only ntioned his family out of courtesy, since everyone else did the sa. But Yoo Chairman felt a surge of joy when he heard his na.
“If you liked him so much, why didn’t you just let him do what he wanted?”
“He had no talent back then. It would have been better for him to inherit the company he already had, rather than endure the criticism. He’s not stupid either.”
“Geum-ju, it’s not because of her, right?”
Yoo Chairman turned his gaze from the TV to his wife. It was the first ti Park Geum-ju ntioned Lee Hee-seo since the accident. He was glad that his wife had overco her depression and was doing well, but he felt uneasy. It was because of the na Lee Hee-seo.
“Yeah, that bothered the most.”
His grandson, who used to have a fit whenever he heard Lee Hee-seo’s na, said he wanted to be an idol like her. He tried to stop him, but he switched to acting and followed Lee Hee-seo’s footsteps. He didn’t like that.
He tried to keep him away from the entertainnt industry, but he was too stubborn. He threatened to cut off contact with him if he interfered, so he gave up. He still cared about him, so he checked on him occasionally, but he didn’t get involved.
After finishing his speech, Yoo Yeon Seo returned to his seat and sat down. Yoo Chairman changed the channel.
It was ti for the 12 o’clock news.
(JSENM held an ergency shareholders’ eting at 9 a.m. today and passed a resolution to appoint Yoo Yeon Seo, the son of Yoo Geon-min, vice chairman of Juseong Electronics and an actor, as an internal director of JSENM. The business world is speculating that this is a move to prepare for the succession structure.)
The screen showed Choi Yoo-jin, who participated as the chairman of the shareholders’ eting, and then displayed the data of the drama, movie, and comrcials that Yoo Yeon Seo had recently appeared in.
“Well, now that he likes it so much, I guess I have to let him go.”
Just then, a brief clip of him smiling brightly at a child in ‘Welco to the Guest House’ ca on. Park Geum-ju fixed her eyes on the screen and opened her mouth.
“You’ll let him go, of course, since he wants to do the company work he always dread of.”
“You know too well.”
Yoo Chairman still looked down on entertainers as old-fashioned. He didn’t like his second grandson’s persistent interest in the entertainnt industry, and he hated the idea of handing over the company that his daughter-in-law had worked hard to build to the idiot on the other side.
But then Yoo Yeon Seo, who had been adamant about not doing it, showed up and took a seat.
Yoo Chairman smiled smugly.
“I’m going abroad. You stay with the kids for the New Year.”
“Again?”
Yoo Chairman knew that his wife went abroad every holiday because she was ashad to see her grandson.
“Stop running away, will you? Look at , I’m doing fine.”
“You say that, but you’ve been supporting him behind the scenes. Do you think he doesn’t know that?”
Park Geum-ju coughed and looked away from her embarrassed husband. She held her phone in her hand. She thought she had made an irreversible mistake. She still had nightmares about the ti she coldly rejected the young one who asked for her help.
She tried to approach him with Choi Yoo-jin’s advice, but he kept running away.
“I guess I’m getting childish as I age.”
It was so hard to apologize for my mistake… Park Geum-ju sighed deeply.
“I’m scared.”
She was afraid to face the reality that her grandson was living in, the truth that he was hiding.

Our young master looks even more handso on the big screen
└Our young master is really handso
└Congratulations on the best actor award, young master!!!
└Let’s go for the grand prize, young master!
└I’m looking forward to the Baeksan Arts Awards, young master!! Loyalty loyalty^^7
└What’s with all the praise? Is this the usual atmosphere at Juseong Electronics?
└└If you were , you would congratulate our young master too, since he gave us a special bonus for his best actor award
└└└Wow;;; I’m jealous
└What about I&M?
└└We got a special vacationㅋ
└What’s the big deal? It’s not even the grand prize, just the best actor awardㅋㅋ And it’s not even a film festival, just a broadcasting station acting awardㅋㅋ Won’t you be embarrassed if you spread rumors about that in the neighborhood?
Don’t insult our young master.
Don’t insult our president.
It’s nice to see dad fangirling over his son, why are you picking a fight?
Leave him alone, you must be jealous, haha. Ah, the royalties are sweet!
At the request of Yoo Geon-min, who suggested having lunch together as a family for the new year, Yoo Yeon Seo visited the headquarters of Joo Sung Electronics and froze on the spot, gaping.
“Hyung, what is that?”
A giant display that boasted the technology of Joo Sung Electronics filled the wall of the first floor lobby. And on that display, a video of Yoo Yeon Seo giving his acceptance speech at the acting awards was playing on repeat.
“What do you an, what is that?”
“Why is that here, why on earth…”
Yoo Eun-ho smiled mischievously at his brother, who was stamring in shock. Choi Yoo-jin was the sa.
“Oh, I should have done that too. Eun-ho, shall we take a commorative photo?”
“Don’t say such horrible things. Hyung, don’t take it.”
Amidst the murmurs of the passing people who looked at them, Choi Yoo-jin and Yoo Eun-ho took a photo with Yoo Yeon Seo, who was holding his forehead with one hand, in between them.
‘There’s only one person who would do sothing like this.’
Just then, the elevator door opened and Yoo Geon-min, who was having a serious conversation with the executives, spotted his family standing in the lobby.
“Son!”
“Dad!”
Our Yeon Seo called with such a loud voice… Yoo Geon-min felt happy and approached his son with light steps.
“Did you co?”
“Turn that off right now!”
Yoo Yeon Seo shouted at his cheerful face.
-Live broadcast of Joo Sung Electronics lobby situation
The vice chairman is getting scolded by the young master
And look at the director filming it, lol
└Lololol
└Was the director always like that
└└The director is secretly funny too, lol
└I knew this would happen, lol
└Our vice chairman is the lowest in the family hierarchy, huh
└But they look good together, lol
The posts on the employee community quickly spread to external communities. The PR departnt of Joo Sung also actively used them. Yoo Geon-min’s shaless behavior unexpectedly generated favorable public opinion.
Maybe they were surprised that a wealthy family, who had nothing to envy from others, acted harmoniously like any other normal family.
“Why can’t I brag about my son…”
Did you get your son’s consent for that? Yoo Yeon Seo glared at his father, who was grumbling.
“Co on, Yeon Seo. It’s already all over the news, a few more days won’t hurt.”
As expected, the only one who sided with him was Choi Yoo-jin. Yoo Geon-min looked at her with gratitude, and the two sons shook their heads as if they couldn’t stop him.
“Sigh… Do whatever you want.”
Yoo Yeon Seo finally gave up. He also hid his trembling hand under the table, as if he had epilepsy. Sothing was wrong with him lately.
“Yeon Seo, aren’t you eating?”
“Ah, I’m not feeling well.”
“Really? Don’t you need to take so dicine? What about the hospital?”
“It’s not that serious.”
Yoo Yeon Seo shook his head. In fact, he had a vague feeling that his fainting spells got worse whenever he t his family. He wondered if this had anything to do with his hallucinations. He closed his eyes tightly and then opened them, controlling his body.
“Ah, it’s Director Cheon Seong-min. I think I’ll be working with him.”
“Really? You’ve been promoted for a few hours and you’re already bringing in results?”
Choi Yoo-jin looked at Yoo Yeon Seo with pride. Yoo Yeon Seo coughed at his affectionate gaze.
“Since this happened, I’ll introduce you to soone. Do you want to learn sothing?”
“Should I? I haven’t decided on my next project yet anyway.”
He didn’t have a synopsis that he liked yet. He thought he should take advantage of this opportunity and learn everything he could from Director Cheon’s side.
For now, Yoo Yeon Seo diverted the attention that was focused on him to sowhere else.
“Hyung, you said you had sothing good too.”
“Ah, it’s nothing.”
“Isn’t a promotion a big deal?”
Yoo Eun-ho, who passed his grandfather’s test, was going to be promoted to executive director this year. It was a fast promotion even for the owner’s family. The promotion was already confird and he was just waiting for the announcent in the dia.
Yoo Eun-ho was anxious because he had no progress in finding out Lee Hee-seo’s true culprit due to his busy schedule. Baek Seo-joon, who was helping him, was also busy.
“Lately, there are a lot of things to celebrate. How about a glass of champagne?”
“Please leave out. I’m nothing compared to you.”
I’m still pathetic compared to Hyung’s promotion. Choi Yoo-jin smiled happily at Yoo Yeon Seo’s words.
“There are people who want to get that award but can’t. It’s sothing to celebrate.”
“…You’re right.”
He felt like he was hit by Choi Yoo-jin’s words. That’s right, this award wasn’t a given. He had lowered himself by being impatient to get more awards.
“Shall we toast then?”
Yoo Geon-min raised his glass and the three of them clinked their glasses. The family gathering for the new year ended like this.
And a few days later, as expected of an issue maker, Yoo Yeon Seo’s na dominated the internet. A reporter took a picture of him eting with Director Cheon Seong-min at a cafe in the suburbs to negotiate a contract.
JSENM’s internal director Yoo Yeon Seo, already hooked on the coback work of the master director
[Issue] Behind Director Cheon Seong-min’s coback, there was Yoo Yeon Seo
Director Cheon’s coback work starring Yoo Yeon Seo… Is he no longer the hope of rookies but a disruptor of the entertainnt industry?
-Wow, he just got himself into Director Cheon Seong-min’s coback workㅋㅋ He took away all the opportunities from other actors
-Director Cheon’s work is the dream of every actor, but thisㅋㅋㅋ Isn’t it too obvious?
-Wow, he already had an amazing background and now he has wingsㅋㅋ
-But isn’t the investor the most powerful in the movie? Isn’t it okay to invest and participate as an actor? I don’t care if his acting was bad like before
└But that doesn’t match the award. If he’s a public figure, he should have so discretion
└Who said Yoo Yeon Seo is investing?
└└Then what is it? Why would Director Cheon, who is such a big person, cast Yoo Yeon Seo as the lead without being an investor?
└I admit his acting has improved, but honestly, it’s unfair. So people have to audition dozens of tis, but so people just use their background and get in without auditioningㅋㅋ
└└Heyㅋㅋ You don’t know the industry. It’s up to the production company to cast actors, right? When was the auditionㅋㅋ Even if they audition, they all have insidersㅋㅋ
└The movie industry also viewed Yoo Yeon Seo’s internal director negatively. Isn’t he using his background to do whatever he wants?
└└But that was the sa beforeㅇㅇ When did they praise the developnt of the movie industry?
└└└Who cares about discovering new actors? It’s Director Cheon, the emperor of Cannesㅋㅋ Even the top actors have to audition one by one, but he just cast him? Isn’t this pressure?
As soon as Yoo Yeon Seo was confird as JSENM’s internal director, there were suddenly many people who tried to check him. It could be the fandom of actors who overlapped with him, or his agency, or even the people in the movie industry who were wary of him.
The director of the largest investnt and distribution company in Korea. An investor who can also show his ability as an individual. The actor who is running the highest stock price these days.
They probably looked nervous, afraid of losing their place. All kinds of reverse viral spread, and in the drama and movie and actor community, this story was almost spamd.
(I should talk about it soon.)
“I feel like I’m making you announce it early because of .”
(No, I was going to announce it soon anyway.)
“How about we do so audition promotion together, since this happened?”
(That sounds good.)
As the situation heated up, Yoo Yeon Seo prepared an official position. And a few hours later, Director Cheon’s official position ca up.
[Official] Director Cheon Seong-min on the coback rumor, “The coback is true. But Yoo Yeon Seo is participating as an investor”
…To this, Director Cheon Seong-min said, “Do you think I would bow to that pressure?” He continued, “Actor Yoo Yeon Seo is a longti fan of my work. He promised to support in every way possible and respect my wishes, and I just accepted it.”
To this, JSENM said, “Yoo Yeon Seo is not acting as an actor, but as an internal director of JSENM,” and dismissed the rumors as nonsense.
