I Will Live As An Actor

I will live as an actor Episode 129

: Unwritten intentional intention.

“As a judge, when I am in charge of ruling on various cases, I often come across cases that are caused by intentional negligence. If definite intention refers to recognizing that one’s crime will lead to certain consequences, then intentional intentionality is a term that contrasts with that. . Most of the time, unintentional offenders do not want to tolerate the consequences of their actions.”

An old professor with white hair is standing at the podium.

“The pledges of politicians who run for election as a joke can also be seen as fraud due to intentional failure to fulfill them. In fact, there are cases where the majority of politicians do not keep their pledges after being elected. However, the parties who actually committed the crime are those who committed the crime. “I don’t even try to understand or resolve the seriousness of the intentional negligence. That’s because I don’t think I committed a crime.”

Students listening to the lecture keep their posture bright and listen carefully to what the professor says.

“In reality, it is not easy for a judge to rule on a case involving intentional negligence. As mentioned before, the parties who caused harm to the other party do not admit that they committed a crime.”

Professor Noh holds up a newspaper that was on the table. The headline read,

‘Actress Cha Hye-jin’s shocking past!’

It is written and her face is clearly visible.

“I’m sure you all are aware of this incident, as it created an uproar in Korea for a while. The actress revealed the crimes she had been accused of and appealed for just punishment to be given. However, the media was different.”

Professor Noh put down the newspaper again and wiped his dry lips.

“It’s an argumentative fallacy, a classic political tactic. When you can’t refute the message, attack the messenger. The media has been digging into the actress’s past. Whatever she did in the past has nothing to do with current events. Even though it is not related. In the end, the actress decided to take her own life and attempted suicide. However, rather than repenting her sin, no media outlet is busy reporting on the actress’ suicide attempt.”

Professor Noh looks at an empty seat with his bewildered eyes. He was a student who never missed school even while working as an actor. But for today, his absence was understandable.

In a way, isn’t this an incident that happened to a colleague who worked with him? All I wanted was for my student to be less shocked by this incident.

“Suppose the actress lost her life. As law students, undergraduate students, would you think the above incident was a suicide? Or not.”

Professor Noh looks at the undergraduate students and asks one last question.

“Is this a murder caused by negligence?”

Dark clouds gather and obscure the old moon. The darkness covering the crock pot seems to be an expression of my heart. Although they may be gently swaying in the spring breeze, the branches of the old pine trees are extremely quiet. It was time to sit in the main hall and sigh endlessly.

“You seem to be deeply troubled.”

It’s my grandfather. Even though summer hasn’t arrived, people are already wearing hemp clothes. He sits down next to me with a clattering sound.

“You said it was the second actor? It seems like you have a thing for that actor.”

“…….”

“Are you sad that you can’t help?”

“I gave him some advice… to either continue to be dragged along like that, or to storm in and end this situation.”

“It’s not that it’s hanging, it’s that it’s constricting.”

It was like lighting a fuse. My past life experiences didn’t help me as much as I do now. Because I have never experienced a situation like this before. I was ignorant of the weight of advice.

I did not understand what consequences breaking the chains that were binding me would have on the person involved. The weight pressing down on your shoulders probably comes from guilt. Grandfather says.

“This has happened in the past as well. There were many things that happened in Chungmuro and the broadcasting area that could not be imagined by the criminals. Such acts were immoral and went beyond the scope of common sense. But it was the same back then. No one wanted to come forward. “Rather than feeling guilty, he crouched down hoping that the spark of an incident with complex interests would not hit him.”

The wrinkled eyes contain a reminiscence of the past.

“Because of this, the actress who was called a rising star in Chungmuro ended up taking a distance from her life. I wish I could have said a word of comfort to that child, but decades have already passed, but it has become a feeling of guilt that still hangs over my head.”

“…….”

“It was the same for Grandpa. I pretended not to notice because I didn’t want the efforts of my youth to go to waste in an instant. I mustered up the courage to go to the funeral, but I couldn’t see anyone. Those who filmed the movie with me “Not to mention the manager who was in charge of that child. It was clear evidence of the cruelty of adults. They kept their distance even from the dead.”

Grandpa holds hands. I can feel the warmth beyond my wrinkled palm.

“But don’t worry. Now.”

At that moment, the sudden spring breeze makes the bells hanging at the end of the eaves ring beautifully.

next day.

“Don’t worry too much, England. Cha Hye-jin’s condition is fine.”

The first news that England found when visiting Songwon Entertainment was none other than Cha Hye-jin’s condition. I wanted to visit the hospital, but I couldn’t even visit the hospital because reporters were camped out and entry was prohibited except for those involved.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“They said it was an overdose of sleeping pills. Fortunately, after gastric lavage, there was no problem with my body. Since my mind and body are unstable, I think I will need to be hospitalized for a few days.”

“Whew.”

Only then did I feel like the congestion in my chest was going down a little.

“Young-guk, Cha Hye-jin will be fine from now on, so don’t worry too much. Bong-chun was also worried. She seemed worried ever since you came up from Busan.”

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

“…….”

Representative Kim Seong-hwan cannot easily answer Britain’s question. He also knows it. What path will actress Cha Hye-jin take in the future?

No matter what decision is made in court, the public will remember actress Cha Hye-jin’s past more than BS Entertainment’s corruption. At that time, CEO Seonghwan Kim spoke firmly as if he had decided on something.

“If he really wants to act again, I am willing to help him. Since he has already made such a fuss with BS Entertainment, no other agency will accept him. The key is whether he can muster the courage, but he can stand up. If so, as the representative of Songwon’s agency, I would like to help. I think that’s the only thing I can do. Isn’t it natural for an actor to live as an actor?”

What would it have been like if actress Cha Hye-jin had listened to CEO Kim Seong-hwan’s consolation? That there is at least one adult who cares for him so much. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have attempted such a thing. Although Britain was grateful to CEO Kim Seong-hwan, it still could not easily shake off feeling sorry for actress Cha Hye-jin. It was then.

“CEO!”

Manager Lee Bong-chun’s loud voice is heard along with the knocking sound. When CEO Kim Seong-hwan says, ‘Come in,’ Lee Bong-chun enters, sweating and as big as a bear.

“Why are you so urgent? Didn’t something happen again?”

I feel like my heart is sinking. Could it be that something happened again? But the answer that followed was unexpected.

“They say the press conference will be broadcast live now.”

“Press conference? What press conference?”

“I know that too, but they say it’s related to this incident.”

I couldn’t figure out what this incident was referring to. Soon, the press conference is shown on the television set in the representative office.

* * *

Reporters cannot hide their surprise at the untimely press conference.

“What kind of press conference is this all of a sudden?”

“It hasn’t been long since I received the call. The organizer is only known to be Chungmuro. When I looked, filming teams from the broadcasting station were already there and setting up.”

“Reporter Kim, have you heard any rumors?”

It is a tumultuous time in Korea. Wasn’t there a lot of noise with the story of actress Cha Hye-jin? However, ironically, the entertainment industry is quite quiet despite the public’s interest. They only seemed worried that a spark might fly out on them.

“Isn’t this some kind of corruption happening again?”

“If it explodes now, it will be quiet anyway. There is a lot of fuss right now because of Cha Hye-jin’s past. Reporter Yang said you did the right thing this time too. You were the first reporter to write a scoop in Cha Hye-jin’s past.”

“Well, I was lucky.”

The reporters are shrugging their shoulders at each other, unaware of each other’s mistakes. In any case, the public’s attention was focused on the past of a top actress rather than the various corruptions of the CEO of the entertainment industry agency. There was no way the hyena-like reporters would have missed it. Reporter Kwak Myeong-hwan, who was watching the whole scene, narrowed his eyes.

“You bastards of trash.”

The voice was low, but the surroundings became quiet in an instant. Some reporters twitched their cheeks, but never thought to approach him to protest. Isn’t he someone who enjoys fame and respect among broadcasters and reporters?

Even if they are in the same field, someone becomes a war correspondent and another writes trash. An article containing only the truth. Kwak Myung-hwan is a person with a deep sense of duty as a reporter. Just then, a person enters the press conference room.

“The press conference will begin in five minutes, so please all reporters sit in their assigned seats.”

At that time, a reporter raises his hand.

“What issue did you bring all of us together for? Looking at it, we also came from terrestrial channels. Don’t we need to know why?”

“I can’t tell you the specifics, but I know it’s related to actress Cha Hye-jin, who has become a hot topic in the entertainment industry.”

Everyone’s eyes widen as they hear the news about the agency’s corruption. Some hyenas are already licking their lips and looking for a scoop. How long has it been? As the main door to the press conference room opens, the murmur subsides. And everyone looks at them as they enter the press conference with surprised eyes.

“Director Baek Jang-hoon?”

Isn’t he the director called the godfather of Chungmuro? Even more so, my eyes sparkle once again at the person following him.

“Director Jeong Ik-cheol, director Kim Soo-kyung, and actor Ahn Jung-hyun?”

Each and every one of them is considered one of the best filmmakers in Korea. Not only did the great masters who had already established themselves in Chungmuro appear, but even a famous actor who was called a living legend among movie stars also appeared.

That time.

England, who is watching the press conference being broadcast live by his agency, cannot believe his eyes. Not only was a press conference held so suddenly, but the organizers were none other than Chungmuro’s greats.

‘But don’t worry. ‘Now’

Only then did England remember his grandfather’s last words that he had shared in the main hall the night before.

‘It’s the adults’ turn to step forward.’
