Entertainment: From being a child star to becoming a world star

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Muttering -

Hearing the sound of the front door opening, Dohyun, who was sleeping on the carpet in the living room, closed his eyes tightly and yawned.

Poof.

Dohyun straightened his arms and stretched his body, holding on to the floor and standing up.

The sleepiness has not completely disappeared, and one-third of the eyes have been closed.

"Mom and Dad, have a nice trip……"

"Dohyun!"

Hearing the excited voice, Dohyun's eyes were round. Different from usual, Dohyun tilted his head when he saw his parents' faces shining with anticipation and excitement.

And

"Dohyun, do you want to audition for a TV series?"

Hearing the sudden question, Daoxian suddenly woke up.

Daoxian, who had fallen asleep completely through shock therapy, blinked his big eyes

"What did I hear?"A question mark appeared on the confused face, then multiplied into multiple ones, and soon turned into an exclamation mark

"Germany, is it a TV series?"

Do Hyun rarely stutters.

On Do Hyun's face, which had been calm for a while, Li Chang Hyuk nodded proudly because of the nursery rhyme.

"Um! TV drama! How about it, do you want to do it?"

With eyes full of expectation, Daoxian didn't answer for a long time. Xu Huina smiled softly, took off her leather shoes and said

"I should explain it to you first, Dohyun might panic"

"Ah, well."

Li Changhyuk later found that Daoxian's face was full of panic, showing an embarrassed expression and laughing.

"Well, well, dad seems to be too excited."

Seeing the embarrassed Li Changhyuk, Dohyun regained his composure.

But the heart that had been beating from just now was still there.

"Let's talk about it first, we can't stand here forever."

Following Xu Huina's words, the three of them sat around the table in the living room. Before starting the conversation, Xu Huina raised her hand and said she wanted to get something to drink and went to the kitchen.

Li Changhyuk stood up and said he would make it by himself, but when he came back, he sat down obediently. In the end, Li Changhyuk sat on the road, waiting for Xu Huina to come back with Daoxian.

Zhuo.

Xu Huina, who came back in less than five minutes, put down the plate.

In front of Li Changhyuk sat a glass of grapefruit clear carbonated water, and in front of him sat a glass Iced Americano, sitting in front of Dohyun was Seo Hye-na who put down the iced chocolate.

"Thanks"

"If there is too much ice, it may be watery. Let’s drink it once and see."

Hearing Seo Huina's words, Dohyun took a sip of ice chocolate.

The ice cubes melted and mixed together, and the drink that was not too sweet was just right to drink.

"tasty! Do

-hyun sighed sincerely, and Seo Hye-na showed a pleased expression.

After coming to Korea, Seo Hye-na spread the new culture of ice chocolate to Do-hyun who wanted to drink cocoa but was troubled by the heat.

At first, she was disrespectful and doubtful about the combination. But after drinking it once, he was completely addicted to the combination of ice and chocolate.

Li Changhyuk also drank grapefruit carbonated water and gave a thumbs up.

After moistening his throat, Li Changhyuk officially began to speak.

"Well, dad’s speech is unclear and I don’t know where to explain it.……"

With a slightly worried expression, he said: Dohyun seems to be nothing serious.

"I am good at listening to stories and enjoy them."

Do Hyun is closer to the listening type than talking. Lee Jang Hyuk gained a little courage from Do Hyun's words and slowly began to explain. The starting point of the story is from the moment Lee Jang Hyuk returned to Korea alone.

Putting his wife and Lee Jang Hyuk, whose son came to South Korea from the United States, feels sorry for his wife who lives in a different place and his son who cannot be with him.

I want to help you. There are many things I want to help you with, but because it is too far away, the situation is not good.

Just I was slowly suffering like this.

One day, I heard a big news.

It was the news that Dohyun was filming a movie.

"I was really happy at that time. Do Hyun cheered up and wanted to do something and was happy that I could help."

At this juncture, Daoxian temporarily experienced the feeling of being speechless.

Because of Daoxian, I separated from my beloved wife and returned to South Korea alone. Instead of resentment and hatred, I felt guilty.

Daoxian felt This is very strange.

Lee Chang-hyuk, who didn’t know if Do-hyun had such thoughts, went on to say

"In the process of sponsoring artists or TV dramas, I learned a little bit about it. NMC TV station said that I accidentally encountered a kite with a classmate who I had a good relationship with in college. I was originally a friend who was an artist, but a few years ago I started to be on the director's side. Because I was talking about Dohyun, I asked me to send him a photo. So I posted it right away."

Here, Dohyun temporarily raised objections. When asked how to have his own photos, Lee Changhyuk saw Seo Hyena

"ah."

Dohyun accepted and nodded. Not sure how he understood this question, Li Changhyuk said that he sent the most photogenic photo and posed in a reassuring manner.

"please continue talking"

"Ah, yes. But today the call came. This time NMC’s ​​new TV series needs child actors, and they really match Dohyun’s image."

"What image is it?"

"I heard that he was a mature and stable child who grew up in a wealthy middle-class family. It really suits us Dohyun."

Seo Hye-na seemed to agree and kept nodding, but Do-hyun had different ideas.

In Do-hyun's view, the character that is truly suitable for"mature" is JIN. Although Jane looks innocent, she sometimes behaves shockingly Deep in my heart.

On the contrary, I am just very thoughtful and careful.

Just as all adults do not have a calm temperament, calmness, calmness or quietness cannot simply determine"maturity".

But the strange thing is that when adults see After being quiet, children often feel that they are very mature.

Although Dohyun, who has never thought of himself as mature, disagreed with his parents, he did not insist on speaking out this idea.

"All in all, this is a good thing. Most of the industry here is connected through acquaintances. So I thought Dohyun said that if he wanted to do acting activities in Korea, he should register with an agent or an acting academy... That’s how the matter was resolved"

"No open recruitment draft?"

"In that case, there are too many people, so it’s very tiring. The TV station also brings together verified children to review, which is more convenient and efficient."

Dohyun thought of an independent film by an unknown director, but gathered countless volunteers, and accepted it. If it was like that in independent films, it would definitely be more popular if it was an open audition on a major TV station

"This is a big hit again. It is said to be a TV series involving writers Li Lian and Jiang Eden."

"Jiang Eden? Will Jiang Eden be the protagonist?"

"Well, Jiaxian said it was completely confirmed"

"Oh my God!"

Seo Huina showed a surprised expression. Dohyun just opened his eyes and began to speak in a slightly faster voice.

"That actor is the most famous actor in his 20s! Acting skills are also very good"

"Yes, it's very popular."

Li Changhyuk added, agreeing. Dohyun was curious about the actor Kang Eden.

What kind of actor is he?

This idea is also temporary.

"He said he needed to answer quickly, what did Do Hyun think? Want to audition?"

"oh……"

Daoxian's lips moved, but he couldn't answer easily.

Daxian, who was temporarily in a daze in his white brain, calmly collected his thoughts.

First, I asked the most important question.

If you film, can you complete the trip before the end of the summer vacation?

After I finished speaking, it seemed that the question was too naked.

Dohyun glanced at his parents, but they both looked as if nothing had happened.

"Don’t worry about that, since it’s a supporting role that only appears in the first episode, so the filming will be over soon"

"Yeah?"

Great, very good, because such an answer could not be made, so there was an ambiguous answer.

In the calm air, Dohyun felt embarrassed and uncomfortable alone.

Struggling to solve the problem, he asked whatever question

"What is the content of the TV series?"

After throwing it away, I realized that this is an important question, which makes people think it can be used. No, why have I never asked it?

Daoxian's face immediately became serious.

"The script is secret, so I don’t know the details, but I heard it is a criminal investigation object. Since the actor Kang Eden plays the role of a police officer, it is probably about catching criminals with the police station as the background... I heard that the atmosphere is not too dark, but very bright?"

The criminal investigation object with a bright atmosphere.

To Do-hyun, it sounded like iced chocolate without ice.

Although it felt strange, it stimulated curiosity and interest.

Do-hyun unknowingly did not notice himself concern exceeds the level

"What is the role I play? Is there any information other than being a mature, stable kid who grew up in a wealthy, middle-class family?"

Lee Jang Hyuk applauded Do Hyun's positive attitude like a memory.

"So, you said you were running away from home!"

I feel more and more trapped in a maze.

Although it is a criminal investigation object, the atmosphere is not dark. Although he has run away from home, he is still a mature and stable child.

There are many question marks on Dohyun's face.

He is imagining various situations. Daoxian suddenly remembered and opened his mouth.

It seems that Liu also has a history of running away from home.

"Is he a character similar to Wanderer?"

Want to hear a more detailed explanation, he urged with calm eyes.

But Li Changhyuk, who was even more clueless, said awkwardly

"Well, if I apply for an audition again, I will be sent a script for the audition. Because the content of the TV series cannot be disclosed to non-related parties"

"Ah, yes."

Daoxian put away his regrets and accepted.

But on the other hand, he spread the wings of his imagination.

Although he wanted to be similar to Liu, it still involved the"mature and steady" part.

Because Liu is more suitable for"emotional impulse" or"sharp and sensitive" Dressed up.

Seo Hye-na stared at Dohyun who was deep in thought.

Her face was full of"I'm curious" expression, and she didn't say what she wanted to say.

Seo Hye-na said softly

"Since he is not a burdensome character like the protagonist of the movie, it would be nice to have a little special time during the summer vacation, right?"

This is what I have been quietly echoing and listening to, the first time it was brought up.

Seo Hye-na was particularly careful not to let her words be forced or oppressed.

Lee Jang-hyuk doesn't know it yet, but she already knows.

How special Do-hyun's acting skills are. And how dazzling Dohyun is in acting.

When she knew this, the emotion Seo Hye-na felt was paradoxically worried rather than happy

"Am I getting old too?"

Although she smiled thinking about this, sometimes this thought made Seo Hye-na troubled.

Outstanding talents do not always bring happiness. Seo Hye-na was worried that the talents possessed by Do-hyun would wantonly shake and squander Do-hyun's life.

Not only that, Do-hyun Hyun is still too young.

Perhaps starting things early will narrow the child's choices, and the surrounding expectations will push the child's back, making people worried.

So Seo Hye-na decided to leave all choices to Do-hyun.Freedom. My duty is to help you do what you want to do, and don’t do it if you don’t want to do it. You may grow into an irresponsible child, but so what.

A child’s happiness is several times more important than a sense of responsibility. You must bear the responsibility yourself. That's it

"Dohyun can do whatever he wants. The first thing is not to decide immediately, but to attend the audition and not be too burdened."

Also, would Do-hyun be irresponsible by saying this?

Although I was asked not to be burdened, after careful consideration, I felt the feelings of a rare, pitiful and good family.

On the other hand, Do-hyun couldn't do it It doesn’t matter if the protagonist is not the one who leads the development of the plot from beginning to end, but is a supporting character who briefly appears in the first episode. I hesitate when I think of the reason for staying at home recently.

"Maybe when will it be decided?"

"Well, I asked him to tell me as soon as possible, and if he decided to audition, he still had to take headshots and practice, so wouldn't it be better to decide before tomorrow?"

More urgent than imagined

"Then I'll think about it tomorrow"

"Okay, think about it, choose the direction of Dohyun’s heart and tell me. Mom and Dad like the good side of Do Hyun."

Xu Huina emphasized again, and Daoxian nodded.

"knew."

It's time to make a choice again.
