Aura of a Genius Actor

Chapter 96: Bohyung’s Acting

Bohyungs Acting

Brother already has a car 

What? Which car? 

Jiyeon spoke with a triumphant smile.

A Ferrari.

What?!!

Their eldest aunt was so surprised that her voice squeaked. 

Their mother seemed restless while their father looked on with amusement, as if he found the situation entertaining. 

Yoomyeong just grinned.

Ever since he was young, he had often been the target of his aunts backhanded compliments, who always insisted that her words were absolute and her child had to be the best. He had no intention of playing humble now. 

My boss gave it to me. He said it was a bonus for doing well.

A Ferrari as a bonus? Isnt that person a scammer? Make sure to check it properly; it might just be a company car on loan. These days, even the damaged and illegally modified cars look like brand new.

His uncle nodded in agreement beside her.

The cars title was transferred to me. Its a car thats only been driven 2,000 kilometers. 

Wow, thats incredible. 2,000 kilometers? Thats practically a new car. Can I get a ride, brother?

Me too, me too!

While their aunt was speechless, his cousins quickly and eagerly gathered around him. Yoomyeong promised them a ride next time with a smile.

Her pride wounded, his eldest aunt threw in her last jab. 

Well, its good that youre doing well. But you know, celebrities end up nowhere when the roles stop coming. What are you up to these days? Dont be picky and take on whatever work you can get.

Oh? Brother just filmed a movie with Director Son Chi-wook. Hes the supporting lead alongside actor Yoon Hansung.

Its releasing this winter. Auntie, you should go to the cinema to see it! 

Jiyeons counterpunch effectively KOed their eldest aunt. 

That Thanksgiving Day, their eldest aunt was the quietest Yoomyeong could remember in all the holidays he could recall.

[GodNameds Fan Sign Event with actor Shin Yoomyeong]

That large banner was hung at an exhibition hall in COEX.

A hundred carefully selected fans were bouncing on their toes, tightly holding various gifts and the items they wanted to be signed.

Actor Shin Yoomyeong had been relatively quiet aside from a few interviews eight months after his drama ended, much to his fans dismay. 

Yet, the character Bohyung and his intense acting in <Ballerina High> had made a significant impact, ensuring that no one selected for todays event was absent.

A fan club that genuinely supports a talented actor!

GodNamed members took pride in their club, driven partly by So-jins ambition to turn GodNamed into a legendary fan club. 

Most of the members were women in their 20s and 30s, largely because Yoomyeong became the most known for his character Yoon Bohyung. However, there were also teenage girls, auntie fans, and a few male fans among them.

Among them, two women who had become friends through the fan clubs chat room were whispering closely together. 

LoveBohyung, are you really going to do that?

Of course! I almost fainted when I saw in the announcement that well be able to see Bohyung up close.

I want to do it too but Im afraid my heart might literally burst.

DrunkBohyung, you have to it today, even if it means collapsing from excessive bleeding.

The noisy corridor quickly fell silent as a figure appeared, only to be filled with a loud cheer again.

After being styled by his stylist after a long time, Yoomyeong stood before the 100 fans with perfect style.

Hello. Im Jung So-jin, the president of <GodNamed>. Please calm down and take your seats! The actor will sit in the center.

Dressed in a sharp black suit with her hair pulled back tightly, So-jin looked different from when she met Yoomyeong privately. Her charismatic instructions efficiently organized the signing event.

Now, well start the first official event of <GodNamed>, a fan signing event with actor Shin Yoomyeong.

Clap clap clap clap 

We will begin with his greeting and a few official questions before we start the signing!

When So-jin looked at Yoomyeong, he picked up the microphone and gave a shy smile. 

Hello, Im actor Shin Yoomyeong.

Hello- 

Wowww. 

Yes, hello!!

His greeting was met with a multitude of responses.

Thank you for supporting me, a still-improving rookie actor, and for taking the time to come here today. Ive never really been the center of attention before, so this is all feels quite surreal, haha.

The fans were puzzled by Yoomyeongs words.

To them, Shin Yoomyeong was a born star, someone who was destined to be loved by everyone. It seemed natural that he would have always been the center of attention, but his words seemed genuinely humble.

The reason Im here today is because first, Im thankful and curious about the people who support me, and secondly

?

To not forget a single fan, or even a single audience member who felt disappointment or gratitude towards me. 

Despite the cryptic message, his voice was low yet resonant, easily capturing the hearts of those listening.

Im truly thankful. I might not be able to become personal friends with each and every one of you, but I promise to repay your support with good performances as an actor.

Yoomyeong bowed his head in gratitude.

Flash

Flashbulbs fired off as his name and the names of characters he had portrayed were shouted out. Some fans already had tears in their eyes from just his brief greeting.

That unusual sight became vividly etched in Yoomyeongs eyes.

So much attention.

So much love.

What he hadnt received in 15 years was now pouring over him multiple times over.

Even if popularity was a mirage,

It was, at least, a mirage happening in the desert of his 15-year career and the oasis of the last three years.

Yoomyeong gave a genuinely grateful smile to the kind people around him,

And that sincere smile made the fans hearts skip a beat.

So-jin was impressed. 

She thought that smile was more effective than any bait.

*

The first fan appeared to be a career woman in her 30s.

Her usually stern and picky demeanor softened like sunshine as she stood before Yoomyeong.

Ah hello!

Hello. Thank you for coming. Whats your name?

Oh, Im Park Jinhee! My cafe nickname is Emperor Bohyung. Im really, really rooting for you, Yoomyeong.

Jinhee looked down in fascination at Yoomyeong as he smiled and signed her items.

She had passionately defended him online during the dramas airing.

Whenever there were comments about his looks being all thanks to makeup or his ordinary face being saved only by styling, she would angrily retaliate as if it were her own battle. She wished she could drag those commenters here right now to see him in person and dare them to say the same.

In just a few months, her actor had become so captivating that she couldnt look away. 

This this is Australian honey; its good for your throat if you drink it with warm water. And this is glucosamine, chlorella, and spirulina. Please take care not to overdo it and always stay healthy. 

Her motivation was fueled by health supplements and Yoomyeong.

With late nights being a routine part of her life, she relied heavily on health supplements. 

She wasnt sure about their actual effectiveness, but the mere act of taking them seemed to give her the strength to push through another day. This was especially true with a new project looming and 24 hours seemingly insufficient.

There was a time when waking up was so hard that she wondered if dying might let her sleep forever. But after joining the fan club, she found herself getting out of bed about five minutes faster, thinking, If Yoomyeong can work so hard, I can too.

Wow, thank you. Ill make sure to enjoy them.

And also

?

B-bohyungs acting!

She said in an almost inaudible, embarrassed voice.

Haha, okay. What would you like me to say?

Could you just say youve worked hard, noona? I want to watch it before I sleep. 

She expressed her wish and took out her digital camera.

Yoomyeong told her to close her eyes for a moment and she complied, positioning the camera before slowly counting to three and opening her eyes.

One, two, three

Noona!

OMG 

Bohyung was smiling in front of her, his eyes shaped like crescents.

It was as if he had stepped right out of the drama and into reality. 

She felt dazzled and her heart raced as if struck by an earthquake. For a moment, she found it hard to breathe.

Its been tough, hasnt it? You really worked hard today, too! Im proud of noona for doing her best today.

He spoke gently with a cute smile, slightly tilting his head and making eye contact from below.

Good night~

It really was Bohyung.

Although he was just a character from a drama, he was someone who had been a great comfort to her.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

The warm comfort and encouragement from ones favorite person wouldve been a heartwarming experience for anyone.

I nailed it today. 

Seeing her success, the people behind her started pondering what to request.

Then, So-jin loudly announced.

As mentioned before, the content gathered today is meant to be shared. You were chosen to represent the members here, so dont forget the principle of sharing content!

That evening, at the fan cafe of <GodNamed>.

[Fan Sign] Bohyung Video Cheer Up, Im on Your Side

The forum was flooded with juicy tidbits.

Among them, the post with the highest views was this one:

Hello everyone!

All the honored warriors selected for todays fan sign will remember this, the goodnight greeting given by Bohyung.

I Its been hours since I got home, and I still havent been able to do anything. That moment kept replaying in my mind.

You all know Im addicted to supplements, but this video is more effective than any supplement Ive ever taken. It makes me feel like I can do anything!

Seeing our orderly GodNamed fellow members today was truly moving. To my fellow members, heres a powerful supplement from me. 

Everyone watch this and have a good~ nights sleep!

Wow so you were Emperor Bohyung. Thanks for kicking things off. I gratefully accept this wonderful content. Bless you!

This is killer. Its called Goodnight, but isnt this more like an insomnia-inducing video?

Playing it for the 19th time

That day, the visitor count for the cafe <GodNamed> hit an all-time high.

Team Leader Park, arent these terms a bit excessive? Besides, hes just a rookie actor.

In the marketing department of Hyunseong Motors.

The marketing director was in a discussion with the marketing team leader of the new car <Crude>, occasionally mentioning the name Shin Yoomyeong. 

After all, the amount being requested for the rookie actor was considered too high.

The reason Director Min couldnt outright reject it was because this young team leader had consistently delivered excellent results and had become a team leader in record time due to her talent.

Director, the reason we targeted this actor from the start wasnt because of cost-effectiveness. Its because hes a young male actor with excellent acting skills who hasnt been overexposed in other advertisements. Thats precisely what our new car, Crude, which were staking a lot on, needs.

Hmm

Crude represents a break from Hyunseongs traditional image of practical cars with an unprecedented development budget. Compared to that, the advertisement model fee of a several hundred million isnt significant.

Thats true, but 

So, in my opinion

Team Leader Park proposed a new plan.

We should offer more than the amount they suggested. 

She crossed out the figure on the document for the advertisement fee and rewrote it with a higher number.

Director Mins expression turned incredulous.

What did you say?

Ready to convince Director Min, the woman wore a confident smile. 

It was Emperor Bohyung, Park Jinhee.
