All My Firsts Are You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 53

“The profile photo and the real person in front of me have an insanely high sync rate. Especially those glasses.”

Jun lightly tapped his own temple with his index finger as he spoke. To ease the mood he started with a casual remark, then calmly ran his tongue over his lips while gathering his thoughts.

While Jun was wondering how to properly respond to this seemingly innocent young actor’s nervousness, Producer Kang suddenly broke the heavy silence.

“Sun Ho. No, wait—why are all your profile photos taken with glasses? Seriously… Do you only want intellectual roles, or do you feel some mysterious confidence when you wear glasses? Is that it?”

Sun Ho’s face flushed red without him being able to answer or refute anything for a while.

“Ah, no, it’s not necessarily like that. I did try various things… But I still thought glasses suited me the best…”

“What am I supposed to do with that kind of excuse? Sun Ho, wow. You didn’t come all the way here for an audition just to hear ‘I’ve never seen anyone glasses suit this well.’ You came here to hear ‘Your acting is insane.’ And it would be even better if you got cast. To make that happen, you have to think first about showing your natural appearance as it is. Don’t you think?”

“…Ah, yes. I think you’re right.”

Just like his gentle name, he seemed to have a gentle personality too; he answered compliantly to Producer Kang’s unexpected reaction. That attitude only seemed to deepen Producer Kang’s worries, and he let out a big sigh.

At that moment, Representative Jin, who had been quietly listening from the side, sent a glance to Producer Kang asking for permission to speak, then opened his mouth.

“Sun Ho, this might be the first time you’re hearing this kind of feedback. Producer Kang has a lot of experience in this field, so he probably said it out of regret. There’s a reason he’s pointing this out even before seeing your acting, and I agree with him.”

Sun Ho nodded, and his earlobes started turning even redder.

“Sun Ho, an actor shouldn’t hide behind glasses. No matter what role you get, you need to be ready to show your true self without glasses first. You’re still quite young for an actor. You’re going to walk the path of an actor step by step from now on. You can’t only play professors or lawyers who look good in glasses. And I’m sure you don’t want to limit your roles like that either.”

Sun Ho looked at Representative Jin—who was gently rephrasing Producer Kang’s rather harsh words—with thoughtful eyes.

Representative Jin suggested Sun Ho try taking off his glasses once. His hesitant hand grabbed the thick frame and pulled it down. The gaze that slowly scanned him swayed with a nod.
