The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Ch 104+105

Ch 104: 

Will Yoo Yeon-seo attend the SSSA Acting Awards?

└ I think he won't come this time.

└ He's been attending award ceremonies frequently these days.

└ Well, that's because it's for movies or dramas, not for stage performances. He doesn't usually attend those, right?

└ Then why isn't he coming? Didn't he make a fuss about being nominated for a terrestrial drama before?

└└ He made a fuss, but would he come if it were you?

└└└ What happened? I really don't know.

Probably because he thought it was bothersome. There's no chance of winning an award, so why bother going there to greet people he doesn't know?

What's the deal with Yoo Yeon-seo?

Back in 2015 when he debuted as an actor, he was considered okay even if his acting wasn't that great because he was a rookie, right? Up until then, his image wasn't bad.

But in 2016, while he was gaining popularity, his acting didn't improve much and he started receiving criticism for being cast in roles he wasn't suitable for. Moreover, he was unpopular due to his attitude, despite being praised for his appearance. And at that time, it was a period when many actors of similar age and experience were active, so the criticism towards him escalated. Basically, everyone was criticizing Yoo Yeon-seo at that time.

Anyway, he happened to be nominated for an award at some ceremony, and it caused a huge commotion. The entire community was turned upside down, even during the off-screen events, everyone was questioning why he was even nominated for an award.

└ It was ridiculous, seriouslyㅠㅠ

└ He was heavily criticized back then, but Yoo Yeon-seo himself didn't seem to care.

└ But shouldn't the title be changed? It's so sensationalistic.

└ Why at that time? What's with the wording? Seriously, my actor was active in 2016, does that mean it's his fault?

└ Honestly, it's ridiculous to think about it now. They called him to the broadcast station, then why did they criticize him? If he appears, it's a boycott, what nonsense.

└└ But didn't the broadcast station use this to stir up controversy?

└└└ Weren't all the advertisements by Ju Sung pulled out at that time? The broadcast station immediately apologized for the controversyㅋㅋ After that, they didn't nominate Yoo Yeon-seo for awards and didn't promote his articles.

└ And s=he even used his own money to debut several rookies, but he got all the blame.

└└ You should speak up clearly. They blocked my actor from entering anything other than rookie awards.

└└└ Anyway, giving opportunities to rookies is a fact, isn't it?

The controversy that started with the assumption that "since he has such a strong backing, won't he refuse the award? If Yoo Yeon-seo attends the acting awards, he will probably refuse the excellence award" exploded.

Although Yoo Yeon-seo never said he was attending, there was a prevailing atmosphere of disbelief, with comments like "Excellence award? Are you kidding me? How much money did he spend?" "Will he really come after doing that acting?" "If he has any conscience, he shouldn't come out" being dominant.

A controversy that would have died down with someone else became even more heated because the subject was Yoo Yeon-seo. And at that time, there was still a prevailing atmosphere in which it was okay to criticize celebrities.
