hbrt42\ / Who is the one who became an actor and earned money in the first place? Wasn’t it possible because his father was a famous PD? From what I see, his mother also devoted all her effort to Yoon Joo-ho, working hard as his manager.
⤷minj\ / He thinks he’s where he is just because he’s so great on his own, that’s all.
⤷lemo77\ / It’s true his debut was thanks to his dad, but even if his dad was a famous PD, if Yoon Joo-ho didn’t have the looks or acting skills, he wouldn’t have had even a fraction of the popularity of the Crown Prince back then.
⤷⤷kimjh\ / And where did those looks and that talent come from?
yluve\ / Ah… I see… So you wanted to say that Yoon Joo-ho is greedy and knows nothing about management… You wanted to say that the son is trying to kick out his parents, who have done nothing but work hard to support him, for money, huh? Hahahaha… Is it just me, or does it sound like that to you? Hahahaha…
⤷trus\ / You’re normal. It sounds like that to me too, hahaha.
soldjh\ / Oh, you like doing whatever he wants. So, you’ve never let him make the movies he’s always wanted to make, and you’ve sent him overseas for fan concerts when he wanted to act?
⤷jooohoy\ / Seriously, fan concerts should be reasonable too, that’s fan service. Like 3 years ago? I wasn’t sure if I was a fan of an actor or an idol… It was almost like an idol’s world tour schedule (Not trying to diss idols. Idols’ main job is concerts, but an actor’s main job is acting).
mygodjh\ / Father lol Director lol The old-timers all know lol If you spout any more nonsense, we won’t stand by idly anymore. Who is really crazy about money? lol
⤷gmch99\ / The fangirls acting like they’re something special, it’s pathetic lol What are you going to do if we don’t stand by? lol
⤷⤷djajsk\ / Exactly lol Yoon Joo-ho probably wants you guys to stand by too lol
yimk8\ / I used to like Yoon Joo-ho, but I see him differently now. Suing the parents who raised him? And for money… I’m truly disappointed. I won’t be consuming any dramas or products advertised by Yoon Joo-ho from now on.
⤷rache\ / Me too. He was my favorite actor, but I wish I didn’t have to see him on TV anymore. A person has to be decent first. No matter how handsome and cool he is, a scumbag with no character is not worth considering.
dna02\ / The real estate alone linked to Yoon Joo-ho is 50 billion won. Whatever the reason, even with 50 billion won, does he have to sue his parents and demand the company? Yoon Joo-ho is ultimately a thug who only cares about money.
⤷ffub9\ / He hasn’t sued yet, it’s a certified letter! Why are there so many idiots who curse without even reading the article properly?
⤷⤷mksu\ / Whether it’s a lawsuit or a certified letter, it’s equally unfilial, so aren’t you the idiot here?
⤷igmjj\ / 50 billion? I’m so shocked I can’t even speak lol People with hundreds of billions fighting over who gets more, what a good deed between parents and children lol
jhk83\ / Just disappear. I don’t even want to see your face.
On the rattling back seat of the bus, Song Hyun-soo focused on his phone screen until his eyes were bloodshot. Related articles, repeating the same content, were being uploaded like crazy.
Articles with decidedly biased headlines, claiming that Yoon Joo-ho, a top star, was trying to sue his innocent parents for money…
Trash personality, thug who only cares about money, just disappear.
Song Hyun-soo’s eyes darted back and forth, his heart pounding. He couldn’t calm down due to the anxiety that something terrible was about to happen.
Song Hyun-soo had experienced losing someone due to such malicious, biased articles and comments.
It might not have been the direct cause of death, but it wasn’t entirely unrelated. Song Hyun-soo knew the power of these things.
He thought of the faceless monsters who could brutally dismember someone and then walk around outside pretending to be decent human beings. Monsters who believe they have committed no sin simply because the tools they used for dismemberment were ‘words,’ not kitchen knives or axes.
He didn’t want anyone else to become a victim of these monsters. He never wanted to experience that again.
Indignation, unfairness, fear, anxiety.
Such emotions mingled, making the corners of Song Hyun-soo’s eyes turn red.
He had been prone to tears since childhood. It wasn’t that he was soft-hearted. He just couldn’t overcome his anger.
When he was scolded by his grandparents, teased at school, or discriminated against for being parentless and poor… he would clench his fists, tremble, and his eyes would turn red. He was indifferent to sadness or pain, but anger and unfairness brought tears to his eyes.
Even with tears filling his eyes until the whites were completely crimson, Song Hyun-soo would grit his teeth and fight back. Because of that, no one in his hometown could look down on him.
Even now, Song Hyun-soo was holding his jaw muscles and nostrils tight, trying to hold back his tears.
The sound of him breathing heavily, nostrils flaring like an angry bull, drew a suspicious glance from the passenger next to him. But he didn’t have the energy to care about that. He was literally in a state of agitation.
When he came to his senses, he had logged into a portal site without realizing it and was typing comments at an incredible speed.
ssong2\ / If Yoon Joo-ho really wanted money, would he have just asked for the company to be transferred to him? Who is talking about money right now? Yoon Joo-ho didn’t even mention money, but that father figure keeps pushing it as if it’s about money. Can’t you all see it? Are you all pretending not to see it because you can’t, or because you just need another fun toy to break someone with? I’m really an idiot, but anyone who says they don’t understand what I, an idiot, understand is self-certifying as an idiot.
⤷ssong2\ / And the company was founded with Yoon Joo-ho’s money and run with Yoon Joo-ho’s money. And other actors were recruited based on Yoon Joo-ho’s name value. Why should Yoon Joo-ho leave this company? Would you leave if you were him?
⤷ssong2* / I’m really curious how well the people badmouthing Yoon Joo-ho here treat their own parents. People who complain their backs are breaking because their parents need a few hundred thousand won for hospital bills act like filial children only when it comes to other people’s affairs.
He poured out everything he wanted to say, and when he ran out of characters, he added replies to his own comments, and then added more. He was so focused that he lost track of time.
Then, he suddenly lifted his head.
“Huh? Uh… Uh!”
Song Hyun-soo awkwardly stood up and quickly pressed the bell.
He had passed his stop by a long shot.

He didn’t know what kind of illusions the general public held about the film industry. But filmmaking was, after all, a business. It was a battle fought from beginning to end, requiring the allocation of budgets from investors and production companies and managing everything within those budgets.
Therefore, unless a highly paid lead actor or a wealthy, famous director personally funded it, the company dinner venues were always similar. Places with affordable and plentiful alcohol and food.
During the pre-production phase, which involves preparing for the main filming, a restaurant or bar near the production company is usually chosen as a regular spot. In the case of
Once filming begins, they would likely establish regular spots in the local areas depending on the location shoot. They would probably be places not much different from ‘Honey’s place.’
Fortunately, Song Hyun-soo didn’t dislike this method or atmosphere. He was more accustomed to places like pork belly restaurants where you could drink soju, or slightly run-down places like ‘Jessica,’ rather than chic, upscale wine bars.
After the previous night’s heavy drinking session, the after-party atmosphere was much more relaxed. Contrary to Jung-ho’s prediction.
“Hyun-soo-ssi, are you free the last week of the month? Friday or Saturday.”
Han Joo-young, who had already finished half a bottle of soju despite the party just starting, asked cheerfully with a flushed face.
“How about we have a year-end party-like gathering with the young actors? We should get to know each other better before filming.”
“Ah… around what time?”
“A simple drink over dinner? Since everyone will likely have other year-end gatherings anyway.”
“Actually, I have work on weekends. Can I join after I finish?”
“Oh, Hyun-soo-ssi has a schedule.”
“No, it’s not a schedule. I just have a part-time job on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.”
Han Joo-young narrowed her eyes and rolled them. The idea of an actor working a part-time job didn’t seem to register immediately. It was rare among actors cast in major supporting roles for a production like this.
