103. Golden Home (錦衣還鄕)

“Nyaaang.”

Geum-bi licked her cheek and woke Gyu-ha, who had barely slept until dawn, perhaps because she hadn’t adjusted to the time difference in Korea yet.

soggy.

Kyuha headed towards the terrace.

Sunshine down on your warm face.

I realized that I was back in Korea when I saw people the size of ants moving around under my feet.

9 months was not short at all.

Upon returning to Korea, Han Jeong-hee asked Kyu-ha for an absolute rest.

It was consideration for Kyu-ha because it was Han Jeong-hee who had been watching from the side how much she struggled and filmed in the United States for the past nine months.

Even if it was a break, as always, Kyu-ha’s steps headed towards the nursery school.

I visited as a surprise, but the children seemed to be more surprised than I thought.

Kyu-min, who was hiding behind the study room window and pouted out his face, discovered Kyu-ha and almost fell in surprise.

“Aww! Kyuha hyung!! brother!!”

All the children welcomed Kyuha with tears of joy, and Director Anna Kang looked at them with delight.

I met and had a meal with Jung Seol-ah and Mid-gyeol, who have been running for a long time these days, and had a dinner with Stellar company employees whom I hadn’t seen in a long time.

In that way, Kyu-ha naturally melted into everyday life in Korea.

Dalgrak.

“I got an invitation from the Yellow Dragon Film Festival this year too.”

Han Jeong-hee said as she set down a cup of cold green tea on the table.

“Has it been a year already? It seems like yesterday when we received the rookie award last year.”

“Ho-ho-ho. So I mean. Rookie of the year last year. This year, he was nominated for the best actor award for being the best! I wonder if there is a case like this in the Korean film industry. There is a saying that it is the curse of the Rookie of the Year award. Although I don’t believe it.”

Curse of Rookie of the Year.

A ghost story or jinx that says that once you receive the rookie award at an awards ceremony, your work activity itself will slow down from then on.

In fact, it was not uncommon to see quite a lot of people who received the rookie award disappear into the backwaters without being able to go up any further.

“Well… that doesn’t apply to Gyuha-san at all.”

The jinx has already been broken with the achievement of 8 million viewers in Jijon (至尊), public awareness gained through the joys and sorrows of the young and old, and even an external image through an interview with an overseas media criticizing the hanbok process.

It is safe to say that they have formed a trinity as celebrities.

“Until the triumph over, which will air in a few months…”

It was not yet known whether the triumph over was successful or not.

However, Han Jeong-hee, who watched the beginning and end of the work, was confident.

That a triumph over would also cause trouble in some way.

“Anyway, this time I’m not a rookie! Since I’m participating as a candidate for the Best Actor Award, I need to pay more attention. You may not be able to feel it yet, but the atmosphere will be very different from last year. You will probably feel it when you enter the awards ceremony. I can’t rent clothes like last year, so I’m going to get a suit tailored this time. I made a huge reservation a few weeks ago.”

The place Han Jeong-hee took Kyu-ha to was [Goldfinger] located in Myeong-dong.

Graduated from Daehan Fashion Academy as a first-year member of the domestic fashion industry.

Korea’s first international fashion show held in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Won a gold medal at the Japan International Skills Competition, etc.

It was a custom tailor shop by Master Lee Myeong-gu, who boasted a brilliant history.

He was also a craftsman who had been running a tailor shop in Myeong-dong for over 50 years.

“hello. teacher. My name is Han Jeong-hee, whom I called earlier.”

At Han Jeong-hee’s greeting, Lee Myung-gu greeted him warmly, fixing his gold-rimmed glasses that came down to the bridge of his nose.

“ah! welcome. You came right on time.”

“Ho-ho-ho, yes. I know how hard it is to get a suit from a teacher. I have to wear it to the Yellow Dragon Film Festival this time, so please make it look good for our actor Song, sir.”

“of course. We have to do our best. Let’s see. Gyuha Song Mr. Would you like to come over here?”

At Lee Myeong-gu’s call, Gyu-ha stood in front of him.

“Could you take off your outerwear?”

Kyuha took off the coat she was wearing and wore a thin white shirt.

An exclamation escaped from the mouths of the onlookers.

“OMG. look at the body awesome..”

Lee Myeong-gu, who brought a tape measure, began to carefully measure Kyu-ha’s body size.

“Contrary to what it looks like, your body… you have a very pretty body.”

During the filming of Triumph Over, Kyuha’s body underwent tremendous changes, and now it is perfect enough to compete in most classic Physique competitions.

“Good. good! It may be a bit like this expression. Would you say that the ingredients are good and the food tastes good? Let’s work hard to make it right. I’ll finish it before the awards ceremony, so don’t worry too much.”

“Thank you. CEO. Then trust me and we’ll go. Please contact me when it is finished.”

It was Han Jeong-hee who was looking forward to seeing Kyu-ha standing proudly on the red carpet of the Yellow Dragon Film Festival in a suit that had already been completed.

***

Jeonghee University Peace Hall.

It was also the venue for the 42nd Yellow Dragon Film Awards Ceremony.

There were already many reporters camped out around the red carpet and photo line that stretched to the entrance.

“uh!? come!”

A voluptuous body and graceful gait along with a reporter’s cry.

A woman in a gorgeous black dress stood in the photo line.

“As expected, it’s Jung Hye-mi.”

“It’s nameless. After all, the woman of the yellow dragon.”

Hyemi Jung, the woman of the Yellow Dragon, who has been the MC of the Yellow Dragon Film Festival for 26 years, was the first to stand on the photo line this year as well.

Afterwards, new actors to senior actors stood at the photo line in turn and headed to the awards ceremony after a brief greeting.

It was then.

“Finally here!!”

“Song Gyu-ha! You can finally see your face!”

The appearance of Kyu-ha that reporters have been waiting for.

The handmade suit made by Lee Myung-gu, a craftsman who burned his soul, shined.

Even at a glance, the perfect suit fit and strong force make people think, ‘You’re an actor!’ She showed off her aura enough to do it.

Click click click.

Thousands of shutter sounds that tickle your ears.

A tremendous camera flash that illuminates the pitch-black night for an instant.

It seemed to show Kyuha’s status, which had changed 180 degrees from last year.

“Certainly… the atmosphere has changed?”

“Why is your body so good again?”

A reporter who was eagerly pressing the shutter muttered.

Song Gyu-ha is still an unknown actor among entertainment reporters.

It was a blue ocean itself.

Even until the year before last, the evaluation of actor Song Gyu-hara among them was that of a rookie actor emerging from [In the Name of the Devil] and [Pygmalion Opposite Effect], but after confidently taking the leading role of director Kim Jeong-nam, he became a senior actor like Giraseong. The title of 8 million actors was created at once by unfolding unrivaled acting among the actors.

Where was it?

Suddenly, he appeared in Son Joon-ik, who is called a genius entertainment producer, and captivated viewers with his unique charm.

Is there anything more appetizing than this from a reporter’s point of view?

“Song Gyu-ha! One finger heart please!”

“Actress Song Gyu-ha! Please take a look at this too.”

“Please raise your hand and smile, Song Gyu-ha!!”

It’s fair to say that it’s a scramble for Song Kyu-ha.

Originally, it was time to go in already, but the reporters did not let go of Kyu-ha easily.

Since many actors were still on standby, the poorer host eventually managed this situation and managed to enter the awards ceremony hall.

Upon entering the awards ceremony hall, many staff were busy moving, and the seats seemed to be almost full.

“Hello, senior!”

Kyuha turned his head at the sound that seemed to be calling him.

A woman in a pure white dress was restless.

“hello. But where did we see it?”

“ah! My name is Dahae Yoo, a new actor. I’m usually a fan of you, so I wanted to say hello… Ah, anyway, it’s an honor to meet you!”

The Judah Sea was not the end.

“Hello, senior. I am Jo Kwang-seok, a new actor. Ji-Jon I really enjoyed it. I want to be like you!”

“Hello senior! I am………..”

As if when so many new actors were born, many people, both men and women, visited Kyu-ha.

Kyu-ha, who suffered from measles once while greeting the new actors, headed to the seat where the best team was gathered.

“Hey! Kyuha!! Ha ha ha ha ha! If you come to Korea, you should start looking for Lee.”

Cha Kyung-seok, who worked with [In the Name of the Devil], patted Kyu-ha on the shoulder and was happy.

“It’s been a while, brother. How have you been?”

Still, he didn’t look too sad because he called to see his regards from time to time.

“Well then. Can I look forward to your award today? Anyway, great, my little brother. If you go over there, there are Seunggu and Jeho, so please say hello on the way. Or will they get mad? It’s pretty narrow-minded.”

It was only after greeting Lee Seung-gu and Jeong Je-ho, who appeared together in [In the Name of the Devil], that Kyu-ha was finally able to sit down.

“hello. Director Kim. long time no see. How have you been, teacher?”

Kyuha greeted each of the top actors and staff.

Director Kim Jeong-nam, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, smiled at Kyu-ha.

“Hey, Mr. Kyuha. Are you really popular? I couldn’t say hello to everyone. Anyone who sees you will know that you are running for president.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Laughter erupted from the surroundings at director Kim Jong-nam’s joke.

“Chuck. Gyuha-kun, long time no see. I just took Kyuha-kun’s place here.”

Park Chang-soo patted the seat next to him and said.

When I came to the Yellow Dragon Film Awards last year, no one knew me, and no one cared about me, but I suddenly felt that a lot had changed in just one year.

“teacher. Isn’t it time to finish eating the round shape tea I gave you? I’ll even make the other teachers’ ones and send you a new one.”

At those words, Park Chang-soo was delighted.

“Is it true? want this Thank you so much for telling me first that I couldn’t even say anything because I was sorry. Now, if I don’t have a cup of round shape tea in the morning, my body will have no energy.”

“Don’t eat too much. One or two cups a day is just right. How have you been? I heard that you are doing other works.”

“I started playing again these days. [Jangsaengsanghoe]. Hong-shik and Dae-ho and those old people.”

[Jangsaengsanghoe] is a work that tells the story of fresh love that sprouted in old age, and it drew attention with the gathering of senior actors representing Korea, including Park Chang-soo, Lee Dae-ho, Park Hong-sik, and Noh Hye-sook.

“May I ask why you suddenly started playing again?”

Park Chang-soo answered Kyu-ha’s question with a light smile.

“Clap. Strictly speaking, it’s because of you. I learned a lot from my trip to Greece. I wanted to find my original intention, and seeing you sparked a new passion. Theater is our foundation. If you simply think about income, there may be no reason to do theater. But as you get older, sometimes there are more important things than money.”

Hearing this, Gyuha realized Park Chang-soo’s true intentions.

It is a heartfelt and warm advice not to lose your original intention and roots because you are blinded by temporary success.

“I will always keep that in mind. teacher.”

As Kyuha seemed to understand his intentions, Park Changsoo nodded.

“uh!? It’s finally the Best Actor Award.”

MC Jeong Hye-mi started to introduce candidates.

“ruler! Then, let’s look at the five candidates first.”

Lim Jung-hun in [Blood Nudity]

Jung Cheol-hee from [Save Me]

Song Gyu-ha from [The Supreme]

Jaehyung Lee in [The Trap of Betrayal]

Park Sang-hyun from [People of Serving High School]

The best scenes of each candidate’s play were sent to the screen and their names were called.

Lee Yong-sang, the winner of the Best Actor Award last year, was in charge of announcing the winners.

“It is really very competitive. Just hearing the names of the candidates makes my heart tremble. ruler! We will announce the winner of the Best Actor Award at the 42nd Yellow Dragon Film Awards. The winner is…”

Lee Yong-sang’s eyes widened as he checked the cue card that the winner was the enemy of.

“Gyuha Song of the Supreme. Congratulations.”

It was the best actor award that will go down in the history of the Yellow Dragon Film Festival.
