Korean Wave's House Male Artist

  It's Sunday again before you know it.

  Yoon Hyun arrived at SBS early in the morning.

  Although Yoon Hyun has become one of the most sought-after actors in Korea with "Pursuit", he has not been in the industry for a year, so he has maintained his humble and cautious attitude.

  Many people give gifts, it's nothing unusual.

  Especially when he saw the heroine of this TV series, he was even more glad that he had come early.

  "Hello, Senior Han Hyo-joo. I'm Yoon Hyun. Nice to meet you." Yoon Hyun bowed respectfully to the tall girl in front of him. To think that before he even debuted, she had already won many film awards. Compared to her, he was a complete rookie.

  "Yin Xian, hello!" Han Hyo-joo smiled and returned the greeting.

  Yin Xian stared at this smile and was a bit dazed.

  "Yin Xian is also from '87, right?" Han Hyo-joo didn't mind that Yin Xian was a bit spaced out.

  "Yes, it is. February 1987. And Hye-ju Han x was also in '87?" Yeon asked, following up on the conversation.

  "I'm also in February!" Han Hyo-joo nodded slightly in surprise.

  "I was born on February 13th," said Yoon Hyun. "The day before Seollal."

  "I'm 22 years old, and Yoon Hyun is older than me." Han Hyo-joo said with a hint of regret.

  "It's just a few days, let's talk more casually!" Yin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this girl were older than himself, then this shoot would be quite uncomfortable.

  "Yes, Yun Hyun, take care." Han Hyo-joo bowed again.

  "Ha Joo-hee x also please take care." Yoon Hyun-also returned the courtesy.

  After a few words, director Lee Yong-suk and screenwriter Choi Ran entered the room that everyone had been waiting for.

  The actors who were chatting in twos and threes immediately quieted down, took their seats, and waited for the director's instructions.

  This gathering meeting is actually the main crew members and actors' self-introduction and mutual understanding, communicating some situations, striving to form a better atmosphere in the crew.

  However, Yoon Hyun felt unfriendly eyes from Park Si-hoo, the actor who played the second male lead.

  Yin Xian was somewhat surprised, and in his mind, he really couldn't find any information about offending this person. This is someone who has no connection with himself at all.

  Since they couldn't find the reason, Yoon Hyun also didn't bother to think about it anymore. Anyway, it was just a cooperative relationship. As someone who had already filmed one TV series and one movie, Yoon Hyun only kept in touch with Yoon Eun-hye and Kim Yoo-jin, and as for others... after the crew dispersed, they never contacted each other again.

  The self-introduction took more than an hour in total, and then the director sent out the shooting schedule to all actors and staff.

  "The queue is quite full!" Yin Xian muttered softly.

  "Is something wrong with Yoon Hyun?" Han Hyo-joo, who was sitting next to Yoon Hyun, asked in a low voice.

  "In April I will be attending the Baeksang Arts Awards, so the time before and after that might be a bit tight." said Yoon Hyun.

  "Well, I'll participate too. Let's tell the director and move our scenes up a bit." Han Hyo-joo nodded and said.

  Yoon Hyun suddenly felt like he had found a partner with a compatible aura.

  "Director!" Han Hyo-joo raised her hand and said, "In April, I'll be attending the Baeksang Arts Awards, so that week might be quite busy, and it's possible that we won't be able to guarantee the filming schedule. Can we move up or adjust the shooting for that period of time?"

  Now in the entire crew, Han Hyo-joo is not the oldest, but she is absolutely the biggest star. So when she speaks up, the director can't directly refuse her.

  "The director, due to the movie and drama schedules, I estimate that this year's Baeksang Arts Awards will also be attended. So it might be like Han Hyo-joo, where the time before and after isn't well arranged." Yoon Hyun also chimed in with Han Hyo-joo.

  When both male and female protagonists in a play raise the same question, the director also has no choice but to compromise.

  Fortunately, however, the current drama "nr" has a decent reputation, although its ratings are not particularly high. The fact that almost every episode features a guest star has attracted quite a bit of attention. As a result, there is no rush to air the next drama, "One Plum Blossom".

  Finally, during the week of the Bai Si Da Shang awards, the entire crew took a break.

  Yoon Hyun looked at one side smiling and Han Hyo-joo also smiled.

  After chatting together for a while, this meeting also came to an end. What's left is the formal shooting starting from tomorrow.

  "Yin Xian, can we exchange phone numbers?" Han Hyo-joo asked Yin Xian proactively.

  Yoon Hyun was a bit surprised and immediately smiled and said: "I'd be delighted."

  After exchanging phone numbers with Han Hyo-joo, Yoon Hyun also returned to his own van.

  "This time's pick isn't bad. Han Hyo-joo is much better than those other immature girls." Kim Soo-yeon suddenly blurted out.

  "This... you misunderstood. This time it's a real misunderstanding." Yoon Hyun looked at the nonsensical agent with some speechlessness.

  "Anyway, it's not long until the recording of 'Inkigayo' now," Kim Soo-hyun didn't plan to discuss this issue with Yoon Hyun, "Are you going to go eat something and come back or wait here for the show recording?"

  "Let's just wait here then." Yoon Hyun thought for a moment and said, "Since we've all come, seniors always have to visit, so there isn't as much time as I thought. Because we haven't had a dress rehearsal before, I think we might need to do one now."

  "Suit yourself." Kim Soo-hyun made a gesture for Yoon Hyun to get out of the car, "I'll go eat then."

  Yoon Hyun was kicked out of his own car in a very depressed state, and under the helpless situation, he had to walk into SBS TV station again, came to the coffee shop location and sat down in a daze.

  Because this is not the headquarters of SBS, except for "Inkigayo" and some dramas being filmed here, there are basically no staff members, so the cafe also looks very deserted.

  "Yin Xian, what are you doing?" Just as Yin Xian had sat down, he heard someone calling out to him.

  "Ah! It's Kim Jong Kook sunbae!" Yun Hyeon turned around to see someone he hadn't actually met before, but had heard a lot about.

  "I've always heard about you, but this is actually the first time I'm seeing you!" Jin Zhongguo acted as if they had met before, very familiar.

  "Kim Jong Kook sunbae, I really like your song." Yoon Hyun couldn't help but feel a bit too forward.

  "No need to be so polite. I've also heard Shi Ge mention you often. The other day, when I was discharged from the army and met up with Shi Ge and the others, I said I'd invite you over, but then I got drunk and forgot, haha." Jin Zhong Guo didn't seem as shy as his reputation suggested. Maybe it's because military life had changed him a bit.

  "Senior, are you going to participate in today's popular song contest?" Yoon Hyun has not been very enthusiastic about the song world for some time now, and I don't know if Kim Jong Kook has already returned to the front line after his comeback.

  "This isn't it, Stone Brother invited me here to discuss something about a variety show." Jin Zhongguo said with some curiosity.

  "Are you talking about the program here? Not at headquarters?" Yoon Hyun also felt very surprised.

  "So I'm curious too. Isn't he not here yet? On the other hand, it's you, I haven't heard that you have a new song, how come you're on the popular song chart?" Kim Jong Kook is also curious.

  "A song I wrote before, there's a special stage, today I'll perform it." Yoon Hyun didn't elaborate.

  Then the two of them chatted about some things in the army, after all, they had both been soldiers and had a lot more common language.

  Soon, Liu Zhi appeared.

  "Wow! Both of you are here!" Liu Zai Shi exclaimed excitedly.

  "In Seok-gu, are you that happy?" Yun Hyun was a bit speechless.

  "It just so happens I have two things to say. Since you're here, I'll mention them both at once." Liu Zai Shi said with a smile.

  Yin Xian suddenly had an ominous premonition.

  "Jong Kook-ah, what do you think about what I told you the night before last? You returning to variety shows first and then gradually making a comeback in the music industry?" Liu Jae-sik said, not paying attention to Yun Hyun's stiff facial expression.

  "I thought about it for a bit, and it's not like it can't be done. But I don't know what kind of situation would be suitable." Jin Zhongguo was being very cautious.

  "Be more specific, Shi Ge." Yun Xian chimed in from the side.

  "It's like this, SBS is going to air a new variety show this year, and I'm the host. The type of show is a wilderness variety show, similar to Jung Hyeong-don's 'Two Days and One Night'." Liu Zai-shi thought for a moment before organizing his words.

  "Two days and one night? In Seok-gu, you've already earned a lot of money, so don't work so hard anymore." When Yeon-hee heard this, her whole body trembled. The reputation of two days and one night in the entertainment industry was no joke. Compared to the PD of that program, Kim Tae-ho was like an angel...

  "It's just similar, roughly going to the countryside, living in a farmhouse, doing some farm work, and then having some cooking activities and games." Liu Zai Shi hurriedly explained, because he saw that Kim Jong Kook's face didn't look too good either.

  Kim Jong Kook's expression returned to normal in an instant.

  "It sounds pretty good too. If I weren't busy filming a TV series, I'd be interested in going." Yoon Hyun thought for a moment, isn't this just the TV version of farmhouse music?

  "This will only start recording in June, your drama won't be filming until then, right?" Liu Zai Shi timely gave Yoon Hyun a knife.

  Yin Xiangan smiled twice and didn't say a word.

  "I'll think about it some more, anyway there's still time." Kim Jong-kook thought for a moment and said: "I don't have much variety sense, I'm afraid..."

  "Can this kind of variety show talent be trained?!" Yun Xian chimed in again.

  "Yes! What Yoon Hyun said is right. Why don't you also go on a few variety shows and try it out?" Liu Zai Shi suddenly smiled eerily.

  Yoon Hyun looked at Liu Zai Shi's smiling face and felt a sudden jolt in his heart, but he didn't know if it was because of ugliness or something else...

  "For example, my brother is currently hosting a variety show that's quite challenging, called 'Infinite Challenge'." Liu Zai Shi continued.

  "Oh, I know. Wasn't Yoon Hyun also on that show?" Kim Jong Kook nodded.

  Yoon Hyun thought his throat was starting to dry up. Subconsciously, he glanced at Kim Jong Kook's muscular body, then looked at himself... shouldn't be too different, right?

  "Alright. How about this? Infinite Challenge is planning to record a special episode, and you can be the special guest for that episode?" Liu Zai Shi smiled warmly.

  Yin Xian's whole body was cold.

  "Guest? That's okay, though... I really don't have any talent." Kim Jong Kook still lacks confidence in his abilities.

  "It's okay. Just pay attention and respond at the right time." Liu Zai Shi said with a pat on his own chest.

  Then Liu Zijun began to give Jin Zhongguo a small art lecture on the spot.

  Yoon Hyun has been very quiet on one side.

  Finally, Yin Xian couldn't help but ask: "Stone brother, what's this special issue? Why didn't I receive any notification?"

  "Notice?" Liu Zai Shi sneered, "Aren't you asking a question you already know the answer to?"

  Yin Xian felt a chill run down his spine, but the phone rang like a lifeline.

  "PP, where have you been?" The call was from Kim Tae-yeon.

  "I'm already on TV. How about you?" Yun Xian asked.

  "We just arrived at the waiting room. Are you coming over?"

  "Oh...... okay!" Yin Xian immediately stood up and prepared to escape.

  "Is Yoon Hyun going to record a hit song?" A hint of nostalgia flashed in Kim Jong Kook's eyes.

  "Yes." Yin Xian nodded.

  "Then I'll go with you and take a look, okay?" Ji Suk-jin asked.

  "This... I have to go pay respects to many seniors, if Jin Zhongguo comes along..." Yun Xian was a bit troubled. Jin Zhongguo's seniority, as long as he stays in any waiting room, all the singers on the show would come to pay their respects in line, wouldn't that make himself a monkey riding on a tiger's neck? How could those seniors look at him...

  "Oh, I'm the one who's being rude," Jin Zhongguo also immediately reacted, "I'll go to the scene later to see your performance. Good luck!"

  "Thank you, Zhong Guo Ge!" Yin Xian bowed to thank Jin Zhongguo, then turned to Liu Zaishi who was looking at him with a playful gaze. Although he wanted to kick this annoying little ant that dug a hole for himself, Yin Xian said: "Zaishi Ge, I'll leave first, you and Zhong Guo Ge chat slowly."

  "Well, I just happened to talk to Zhong Guo about the special feature." Liu Zai Shi said calmly.

  Yoon Hyun almost fell down after taking a step forward.
