Chapter 163

An actor’s sickness causes a commotion.

[Exclusive] AWY’s Ian, cast in Mplex original ‘Z-Day’… Continues his trendsetting path

‘Z-Day’ AWY’s Ian, this time he’s a zombie! Reunites with director Park Pyo-hyun of ‘Hee-bin Jang’s Clan’

(Park Jin-hyuk3) Wow – 13:41

(Park Jin-hyuk3) Awesome – 13:41

(Hyun-hyun3) His hand looks like a black dragon is sleeping on it – 13:43

(Dancing King Kim Joo-young2) The dark of darkness???? – 13:45

Park Jin-hyuk sent a picture that was attached to the article, which was a concept art of Ian’s face.

[They have so much budget that they even care about this detail, they chose him well, right?]

In the illustration, Ian was wearing a black tech wear and had a dark and troubled expression on his face. It was so realistic that it looked like a photo, as if it was done by a skilled illustrator.

…In ‘Z-Day’, Ian plays the mysterious character K.

└I’m going crazy????????

└Wow, I’m looking forward to it

└Is he a sub-male? He’s a good actor, so it’ll be fun to watch

AWY had used tech wear as a stage costume before. The fans uploaded high-quality photos of that time and expressed their anticipation.

-Is this the vibe they’re going for? Ah??????? I’m already nervous

-Let’s do a drama meme cup to celebrate Ian’s drama

-How about a hot-cold cup?

When a big schedule spoiler comes out, the fans usually have a festive mood. Ian’s fans also enjoyed the festive mood by collecting Ian’s activity photos and doing a legend meme world cup.

(Lee Joo-hyuk3) Where is Ian right now? – 13:48

(Ian5) I’m at the action school – 13:48

Ian turned on the camera app and sent a selfie that he took in real time to the group chat.

(Seo Da-mi2) ? – 13:50 (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

(Seo Da-mi2) Hyung, is that a gun in your hand? – 13:50

(Cho-tang4) Why do you need a gun? – 13:51

(Ian5) I need it for the shooting – 13:51

(Hyun-hyun3) Does a zombie shoot a gun? – 13:51

(Hyun-hyun3) That’s awesome – 13:51

(Park Jin-hyuk3) lol – 13:51

Everyone seemed to have nothing to do, as the chat messages went up quickly. Ian watched the chat with a smile on his lips, then turned off the screen at the call of the action director.

“Are you all rested?”

“Yes.”

“Good, do you want to try it again?”

Ian moved as he had rehearsed with the director. Ian swung his right arm. It looked weak, but it had to have some weight.

“How is it?”

“Let’s try it differently this time. You know what we did before, right?”

“Yes.”

This time, the action director lifted one leg and hit Ian’s side. It was rehearsed, so it didn’t touch his side, but Ian fell like a limp doll.

There was a mat on the floor, so it didn’t hurt. Ian quickly got into position and aimed the model gun he was holding.

“That’s it. Do you want to see it?”

The action director, Jung Dong-joon, reached out and helped Ian up. They looked at the movement they had just done through the camera that was installed in advance.

“Here, the part where you aim the gun is too natural, right? We have to be a bit clumsy.”

“Right, should I do it like this?”

Ian aimed the model gun at the air. Jung Dong-joon’s eyes sparkled. Ian didn’t notice Jung Dong-joon’s gaze. He scratched the back of his head with a troubled expression.

“It’s hard.”

“You’re doing really well for your first time. You’ll get better with a little practice.”

Jung Dong-joon said calmly, but he was surprised inside.

‘He’s better than I thought…’

If there’s one thing that characterizes a zombie, it’s that they limp or move unnaturally like a doll or a machine. They had to show that corpse-like movement, but also show that they were still sane, and give the viewer some room for imagination.

‘He’s good, right? He just needs a little polishing and I won’t have anything to teach him.’

Ian showed the action moves he had learned from the director, and incorporated the zombie movements he had seen in the media. Jung Dong-joon captured Ian’s movements with a camera and sent them to director Park Pyo-hyun in real time.

“How about this?”

“It doesn’t look cool enough. You can put more strength in your body. Let’s film it and send it to Park director.”

The role of K that Ian played was a villain who carried the whole season 1, so he had to have some weight and presence.

Ian fiddled with the model gun in his hand. It was a prop that he would use often during the shooting. K was a half-zombie who had been vaccinated halfway, so he needed the power of tools more than his bare body.

“Should I hold it with both hands?”

“Zombies are living corpses, right? They have a feeling that they can’t control their finger strength, like this.”

“Is this good?”

“Or maybe we can tie his hand and gun together. That would be cool too.”

Ian changed his pose several times. Jung Dong-joon, who was close friends with director Park Pyo-hyun, watched him with a smirk.

‘Director Park would love this.’

***

As soon as she heard the news of Ian’s drama appearance, Awidem Kim Eun-ha forgot about her diet and ate maratang.

She met with her Homma friends, who she still kept in touch with, and had a lively conversation. Kim Eun-ha found their gossip quite interesting.

“By the way, sis. Ian is in an Emflix drama this time, right?”

“Oh, that one?”

Unlike Kim Eun-ha’s excited reaction, Ian’s Hom Master, Sugar Crush, sighed heavily. Kim Eun-ha smiled awkwardly.

“Is that not good?”

“The Drazums will stick to him again. They were so annoying during ‘Heebin Jangssi’. I’m glad there’s no offline event.”

Drazums? Drama ajummas? What? Aren’t you an ajumma yourself? Kim Eun-ha chuckled inwardly. She had a sense of pride that she was younger and had a brighter future than them, even though she hung out with them.

Not that there was much difference in their ages.

As soon as Sugar Crush mentioned it, Kim Hyun’s Homma, Blue Delight, clapped her hands and made a fuss.

“Oh, I know. When I was into Jupiter Hee-woong, the Drazums were all over him too.”

“You were into Jupiter too? The world is small.”

They widened their eyes and looked at each other. They chatted excitedly about who they liked in Jupiter and how it was back then. Kim Eun-ha felt a bit left out, but she just listened quietly as their fan talk was amusing.

“But sis, is it that bad when the Drazums stick to him? The ones I was into didn’t act, so…”

When their conversation dragged on, Kim Eun-ha asked a question.

“Ugh, don’t even mention it.”

Sugar Crush waved her hand and frowned.

“First of all, the Drazums have this kind of…”

“Unfounded confidence that they enjoy a higher culture than the idol fans.”

“They think the idol fans are all immature students and they act like they are the cultured adults who broaden the base of the cultural life…”

Sugar Crush and Blue Delight scowled. She took a sip of her americano and cleared her throat.

“It was crazy when I was into Jupiter Jeon Hee-woong. The Drazums who came from ‘Speeding’ said that Hee-woong should quit Jupiter because he was successful in dramas and movies and Jupiter was holding him back. It was the peak of their monthly sales back then. Who was holding who back?”

“Oh, I know. Did you go to the Jupiter concert? The wording was different. They said they came in because of the drama, but they emphasized how noble and precious they were to come to this shabby place.”

“I think I know what you mean. I met some of those people too. Anyway, they have the actor disease. It’s a mess when they stick to him. The fandom atmosphere gets ruined 100 percent.”

Kim Eun-ha listened to their conversation with an intrigued face and didn’t even notice that she had finished her drink. She sucked the empty air in the straw and made a loud noise.

“Ian also got a lot of weird aggro in the community after ‘Heebin Jangssi’. Something about his screen time and the drama quality.”

“I saw some articles saying that he should do movies instead of this when it came out.”

Kim Eun-ha forced a smile.

“Hey, it’s probably reverse viral. There must be some nice people too. And ‘Z-Day’ is a zombie drama. How many Drazums can stick to him?”

“Well, that’s true. But even if there are some nice people, the ones who raise their voices are mostly jerks. Do you want anything else? I’ll buy it for you.”

“Really? Thank you. I’ll go get it.”

Kim Eun-ha smiled brightly as she took Blue Delight’s card. These people were older than her, so they treated her kindly if she called them sis. That was a big advantage, as she could get free drinks like this.

“By the way, I’m so bored these days. I only do stand-ins once or twice. Oh, thanks.”

“There’s no one who makes money like Awidem.”

Sugar Crush and Blue Delight sipped the drinks that Kim Eun-ha brought.

As Awidem filled the void of Mydier, the stand-in photographers who sold the photos they took also had the highest data price for Awidem.

“Ian’s outie photo card price went crazy, Eun-ha. You should sell it if you have a lot.”

“I only have one.”

“What a waste.”

Sugar Crush and Blue Delight collected Awidem’s B-grade photos and sold the data. Of course, they uploaded the A-grade photos to their homes after editing them nicely. And of course, the money they made from this was all spent on following the singer’s schedule.

The Homma scene was in the red except for a few top seed Hommas. Of course, the top seed Hommas also had to do proper advertising and birthday support for the singer with the money they made from selling the season’s greetings or photobooks, or they would be reported by other fans and get a tax audit.

“I’m thinking of going to shoot Fever, there’s a kid named Lim No-eul who’s kind of my type.”

“I’m Eunha Kim.”

“Are you a Fever fan? Are you going to join their fan site?”

Fever was a boy group from BHL Entertainment that was about to debut soon. The other girls looked at her with incredulous expressions when they heard her question.

“She’s so naive.”

“It’s not like we’re in love with them, it’s just for fun. You know how many people switch fandoms these days.”

“Why don’t you try it too? It’s fun to follow them around.”

Eunha Kim shook her head. She didn’t have the information and skills to chase after their every schedule, even the unofficial ones, and take photos like them.

“No, I’m still a student. I don’t have money to buy a camera.”

“There are many places where you can rent a camera.”

Sugar Crush gently shook her shoulder. They had the same bias, so they thought it would be fun to hang out together.

“Don’t you get bored when they come back and start doing fan meetings? You’ve been there, you know.”

“It was boring.”

“They pay more attention to you if you have a camera. Ian is really good at finding cameras. I can’t switch fandoms because of him.”

Sugar Crush, who was Ian’s home master, had a dreamy expression on her face. She remembered how he smiled at her through the lens. Blue Delight also joined in with a giggly smile.

“Yeah, he really does. I was taking pictures of someone else because I couldn’t see Hyun, and then I made eye contact with Ian and got a legendary photo.”

The signing time was only about 10 minutes, and after getting the signature, they had to wait until the end of the fan meeting. They couldn’t even look at their phones in case they missed something cute that their bias did with the fan sign items. Maybe it would be better to take pictures instead.

‘Well, it was really boring.’

Eunha Kim started to give in to their persuasion. Blue Delight and Sugar Crush noticed the change in her expression and made a fuss.

“You said you’re an art student, right? You must know how to use some programs. Perfect.”

“Seoyoon also bought a camera recently. She said she’s going to follow them.”

“Oh, is that why she posted a camera? I thought it was weird. It would be nice if Seoyoon came with us…”

Seoyoon was one of their chat room friends and the same age as Eunha Kim.

‘Should I give it a try?’

Eunha Kim bit her straw and tilted her head.
