Superstar From Age 0-Chapter 503:

[KBC Chicks in the Forest, actor Lee Seo-jun appears in the final episode!]

[He came back to see them! Lee Seo-jun visited right after filming Babel Tower!]

[Babel Tower making film released on YouTube!]

-Ah… It was fun.

=What are we going to watch on Saturdays now? What are they doing next?

=KBC is promoting it a lot. They want to keep the ratings of Chicks in the Forest.

-I watched Chicks in the Forest and then went to see the Babel Tower making film, but there was no difference.

=22 They are all wearing suits and talking with smiles.

=But Seo-jun suits the suit well???

-I wonder what the content is. They said they filmed it in one take.

=22 Is Lee Seo-jun only in the last episode of Babel Tower?

=Yes, yes, yes.

=When is the last episode?

=Thursday, June 1st! 10 p.m.! See you on SBC!

=LOL Are you a staff? LOL

-They looked healthy at the end? They eat well now??

-I'm also getting a lot of help right now, so I'm very grateful?? If it wasn't for actor Lee Seo-jun's mukbang, I would have gone to the hospital today??

=22 I feel relieved now that the kids are growing taller and gaining weight.

KBC’s variety show [Chicks in the Forest] ended with applause and now the attention was focused on the last episode of [Babel Tower] that would air in two weeks.

“Mom, did it start?”

“No. It's still in commercials.”

Kwon Se-ah sat next to her mom in front of the TV.

Today was Thursday, June 1st, the day when the last episode of [Babel Tower] was broadcast. She liked dramas and movies and watched interesting works live, and [Babel Tower] was one of them.

From the beginning of the broadcast, [Babel Tower] became a hot topic with [Working Man!] and actor Lee Seo-jun's cameo appearance. There were a lot of commercials from the first broadcast.

“What about dad?”

“He's watching baseball in there. He said it's an important game today or something. I don't know why he watches them lose every day.”

Kwon Se-ah laughed and turned her head to the TV screen.

The commercials were over and the last episode of [Babel Tower] was starting. The mother and daughter who never missed a live broadcast looked at the screen with shining eyes.

Maybe because it was the last episode, the first part was like a storm, solving the case, and the middle part was like a gradual wrap-up.

“But when does Lee Seo-jun appear?”

“I know, right?”

Kwon Se-ah also wondered. It seemed like it was almost over, but there was no sign of Seo-jun.

-What? Was it a bait?

=…Did they promote it like this and bait us?

-Or is he just passing by?

=Choi So-yeong, Kwon Kang-min: Hello.

Lee Seo-jun: Yes. Hello.

And that's it?

=…I'm going to the SBC website.

=22 I’ll flip it over if they do that.

As the broadcast time was nearing the end, the internet was also buzzing.

Then the scene where the team leader handed the translation proposal to the four interpreters was broadcast.

Choi So-yeong in the screen asked with wide eyes.

“…UN General Assembly?”

“To be precise, it's a speech at one of the events of the UN General Assembly. A Korean person will be giving a speech this time.”

The team leader said as the four interpreters looked at the proposal with a nervous face. The UN mark on the front cover of the proposal made their hearts beat.

Kwon Kang-min asked with a serious expression. But he seemed to be unable to hide his excitement, as his tone was a bit hasty.

“Don't they usually call the interpreters from the relevant country?”

“They must trust your translation skills. You’ve been through a lot of things and solved them well. And I guess they think that Korean interpreters can best convey the nuances of the speech, since the speaker is Korean.”

The four interpreters who had built their careers through various incidents and accidents took the proposal with trembling hands. They looked at the proposal in their respective languages with overwhelmed eyes. Choi So-yeong, who was looking at the proposal, opened her mouth.

“But the speaker is not written here… Who is the speaker?”

The team leader smiled and said.

“It's actor Lee Seo-jun.”

The four interpreters opened their mouths wide and gasped.

So did the viewers who were watching [Babel Tower].

-…What???

-…What???

-…Is there actor Lee Seo-jun in that world too???

-LOL What is this LOL

-I thought I heard it wrong and came to the internet LOL Here too the comments are exploding LOL

-Actor Lee Seo-jun's role: Actor Lee Seo-jun.

=LOL LOL LOL

=I would have been less surprised if it was Jin.

=What is that LOL LOL

-I was surprised by the UN.

=22 I was wondering if it was true.

=33 But I thought it would be an environmental activist or a scholar or something…

=44 And then the real thing came out LOL LOL LOL

-But Lee Seo-jun speaks English well. Why doesn't he speak in English?

=This is a Korean drama.

=22 And if he speaks in English, the interpreters are not needed. It's an interpreter drama LOL

=You're already immersed LOL

-I was worried about the cameo length LOL LOL Babel Tower writer using Lee Seo-jun well LOL

=Writer: The role that actor Lee Seo-jun will play is… Actor Lee Seo-jun! A superstar who gives a speech at the UN!

Lee Seo-jun: That sounds fun!

=Ah LOL LOL LOL

The internet was amused and astonished by this absurd and funny role.

-Ah, I can't watch it because I'm working. I want to see it???

=22 What does Lee Seo-jun playing Lee Seo-jun look like?

=I was going to watch it again tomorrow LOL But I'm curious so I turned on the TV LOL

=Me too LOL LOL

As the ratings soared in the last few minutes, sBC cheered and [Babel Tower] continued to broadcast.

The interpreters received the speech in advance and translated it word by word. Of course, there could be situations where the speaker suddenly added something during the speech, so they didn't blindly trust the speech.

“Shall we go and meet the speaker today?”

The team leader said and the four interpreters with badges around their necks got up from their seats with tense faces and headed to a waiting room in the center where the UN General Assembly was held. There were foreign security guards everywhere.

As I knocked on the waiting room door, it slowly opened.

A man who was sitting on the sofa and reading his speech looked up. He wore a suit that fit him perfectly, light makeup and neat hair. He didn't look much different from the other people here, but his dazzling appearance and aura were special.

He was the actor Lee Seo-jun.

-Wow…

-He has no halo, right? But why do I see one?

-It's amazing to see the actor Lee Seo-jun acting as the actor Lee Seo-jun…

-But is this really acting?

-Maybe? He doesn't stand out compared to the other people. He's just like the actor Lee Seo-jun from the other world.

Lee Seo-jun smiled and got up from his seat. The ID card around his neck jingled.

“Hello, I'm the actor Lee Seo-jun.”

-Lol, the drama of chaos lol

-I don't know what I'm watching lol

-This is beyond realistic acting, this is real realistic acting lol

As Lee Seo-jun bowed slightly, the four interpreters who were admiring his aura also hurriedly greeted him.

-They look really flustered, don't they?

-Right lol His aura is even more overwhelming than usual lol

-Who is the person behind Lee Seo-jun? Is he the second team leader? The one who appeared in the chick squad?

-No no no, he's an actor.

-Too bad! It would have been funny if he was the second team leader lol

-Lol lol lol lol

“I appreciate your help with the speech interpretation today. How did you like the speech I wrote?”

“It was awesome!”

Everyone nodded at Choi So-yeong's words, and Lee Seo-jun smiled shyly.

After a brief conversation, the four interpreters left the waiting room. Lee Seo-jun was reading his speech again to prepare when a UN staff member came and told him that it was time for his speech.

“Good luck.”

“Okay. Hyung.”

The screen showed the manager fixing Lee Seo-jun's clothes. Then the screen changed.

The four interpreters, who had received the notice that the speech would start soon, headed to their positions.

They settled in an isolated space on the second floor of the assembly hall, where they could see the stage where the speaker would speak, but not be mixed with the other interpreters’ voices.

They checked the sound with the microphone, confirmed the speech they had translated in advance, and waited for the start.

The screen changed again and showed Lee Seo-jun's back. He smiled at the UN staff around him and walked confidently to the assembly hall.

At the same time, applause sounded and the camera swept the inside of the assembly hall. The ambassadors of various countries were sitting in their seats.

There were people who welcomed Lee Seo-jun, people who were expressionless, and people who looked nervous.

-Wow… The pressure of the assembly hall… It's no joke.

-It looks like a real UN assembly hall.

-It's not like this in reality, but I guess it's a dramatic license lol

Lee Seo-jun smiled and followed the staff's guidance to the podium. He casually looked around and opened his mouth.

At the same time, the screen changed. If the previous screen composition and color were like a drama, the screen composition and color from now on were like a real news broadcast.

The word LIVE appeared on the corner of the TV screen, as if the UN speech was being broadcast live. On the other corner, there was a white caption on a black background that seemed to write down Lee Seo-jun's words. There was also a news-like caption at the bottom of the screen.

“Hello, I'm the actor Lee Seo-jun.”

The four interpreters translated Lee Seo-jun's words exactly. His voice flowed into the ears of the ambassadors of various countries through the microphone.

“But today, I want to speak to you not as an ‘actor’, but as a human being Lee Seo-jun, one of the living beings on this planet.”

The small screen on the left side of the screen showed Choi So-yeong's face. And her voice, speaking in English, followed Lee Seo-jun's words.

She looked serious, as if she was really interpreting at the moment.

Kwon Se-ah and her mother stared at this with their mouths wide open.

“Three years ago, I met some very cool friends in the sea. Their names are Uri and Loki. But the reason we met was not so good.”

Lee Seo-jun's calm voice and the voices of the four interpreters continued one after another.

The screen showed the faces of the foreign ambassadors who nodded as they listened to Lee Seo-jun's story. Despite speaking different languages, they all focused on, empathized with, and understood Lee Seo-jun's speech through the bridge of the interpreters.

-He's so cool…

-Right…

-But those foreigners look like they're really listening…?

-I don't know what's acting and what's not;;;

-Me too lol

Then the door of the living room opened.

“Huh? Are you watching the news? Didn't you say you were watching a drama? Oh. Isn't that the actor Lee Seo-jun? Where is he… UN? He's giving a speech at the UN? Live?”

Kwon Se-ah's father, who came out with a bright smile after winning baseball, sat on the sofa with a surprised face and looked at the TV.

“No… If he was giving a speech at the UN, there would have been news… Why was it so quiet? It's an environmental meeting, right? He's talking about whales.”

“Be quiet for a moment. Let me watch the drama.”

“…Drama? Not news?”

Ignoring their confused father, Kwon Se-ah and her mother were immersed in the drama. The father also watched the thing that he didn't know whether it was news or drama.

Lee Seo-jun's speech continued.

“We are experiencing the changing earth firsthand. Hotter summers, colder winters, snow in spring, flowers in winter, endless rain, parched land. All these changes are happening right next to you and me, us.”

Lee Seo-jun looked around with a serious expression and opened his mouth.

“Now is the time to make more efforts for me, for you, for us. Thank you.”

The interpretation of the four interpreters followed. Several languages were heard at the same time, and as soon as the words ended, applause poured out. Lee Seo-jun bowed and smiled and came down from the podium.

And the screen changed to the drama screen composition and color again. The scene of Choi So-yeong taking off her headphones and leaning back on her chair with a deep sigh of relief was close-up, and the father blinked his eyes.

“…It was really a drama?”

“It's Babel Tower. The one with the actor Lee Seo-jun.”

The father exclaimed at Kwon Se-ah's words.

“I thought it was real news.”

At that, Kwon Se-ah and her mother laughed.

The next scene was the four interpreters meeting Lee Seo-jun again in his waiting room after finishing their work. The actor Lee Seo-jun with a sparkling expression thanked the interpreters.

“I could tell by looking at their faces whether they understood my words or not. I saw them all from the podium. It seemed like you delivered my heart exactly. Thank you.”

The four interpreters blushed and quickly shook their hands.

“No, it's because the speech was good and the sincerity was conveyed.”

“But you delivered the speech well.”

Lee Seo-jun and the four interpreters exchanged words, and Choi So-yeong's narration was heard.

[Long ago, humans who used one language tried to build a tower to reach the sky, but they were punished and had to use dozens of languages, and because of that, they could not understand each other's words and thoughts.]

[Maybe that's why, in this world where we use countless languages, there are more fights, lies, and misunderstandings.]

[So we try to build the tower of Babel again. This time, not to reach the sky, but to make sure that each other's words and thoughts are fully conveyed, like in the old days when we used one language.]

[We are the tower of Babel built to reach other countries. We are interpreters.]

The scene of the four interpreters smiling brightly as they left Lee Seo-jun's waiting room was the last, and the OST of [Babel Tower] played and the ending scroll went up.

[We thank Lee Seo-jun for his special appearance.]

[Thank you for watching Babel Tower.]
