“Oh my, isn’t success in this field even more enviable than a regular profession these days, Father? You’ve given birth to a son who looks like you and resembles such a charismatic figure. If he goes to waste in another field, wouldn’t it be a loss for the entertainment industry in Korea?”
Jung Cheol-min took a moment to catch his breath and continue speaking.
“As it happens, we’re currently running a promotion where you can receive free training for a month. Even if it’s just a hobby, why not give it a try? Learning acting can teach you how to express emotions and also help relieve the stress from academic pressures!”
The employee sitting in the inner office, who usually couldn’t help but speak out of line, marveled at how our director was able to spill words like a machine gun, and around that time, Ryu’s father, spoke up.
“Oh, as it’s happening during an event, is this also fate? It’s a great opportunity! How about you, Yeon-woo?”
“Yes, Father, I like the idea. I’ll give it my best shot and learn.”
Upon receiving the subsequent response, Director Jung Cheol-min rejoiced inwardly. The current Yeon-woo had lost even more weight since the beginning of the school year, and now he had reached a level where he could draw some attention from his surroundings.
“‘I have to personally teach this friend even if I have to pour my soul into it!'”
Jung Cheol-min, who is kind-hearted and good with people, continues to support the local small theater, maintaining stages for former students who haven’t yet left the local theater scene, using the monthly profits from the academy to cover the theater’s deficits.
In truth, he was more a passionate actor clinging to the love of acting than a skilled businessman.
So, rather than facing competition from larger academies in Seoul, he was struggling to maintain his place in the smaller marketplace of Daejeon. Ryu Yeon-woo’s presence could potentially serve as a foundation to revive the academy, not only for commercial reasons, but also because he had the looks that Jung Cheol-min wanted to nurture into an actor.
“In that case, Father, let’s proceed that way. Once I get to know him a bit through consultation, I’ll schedule his lessons!”
“Yes, let’s do that.”
Jung Cheol-min shook hands with Ryu Cheol-yung, Yeon-woo’s father, and internally celebrated once again.
‘Visuals like that are hard to come by, even among the aspiring actors in Seoul. It’s not just about needing a bit more life experience; it’s genuinely rare. Even if he lacks talent, with consistent nurturing of the fundamentals, he’ll stand out even in public auditions with hundreds of competitors.’
It’s the determination of Jung Cheol-min, who promises to kindle his passion once more.
A week has passed, and around Saturday lunchtime, Yeon-woo, who visited the academy again, made his way to the Director’s office.
“Teacher, hello. Starting today, I’m Ryu Yeon-woo, who will be taking lessons.”
Yeon-woo greets politely with a bow, and Jung Cheol-min, who had been waiting, opens his arms to welcome him.
“Oh! That’s right. Welcome, Yeon-woo. Wasn’t it easy to find your way here?”
“Yes, it’s right in front of the subway station, so it seems really easy to come here. The building is quite large, and it feels like a good academy.”
