“By the way, I met Jeon Ji Na last week and she said she will make a special appearance in ’23 Centimeters’.”
“I see.”
“Is this the first time you’ve heard this?”
“Yes. Casting isn’t my area.”
Ji Ho nodded without any expression. She too started to unfold the tablet nonchalantly, as it was a story brought up for the purpose of changing the atmosphere.
“Then, let’s start the interview. Please introduce your role in this film.”
The editor, who had been exchanging light pleasantries and tiptoeing around the line drawn by Ji Ho, began to lower her voice in earnest.
“My role is a reckless thirdgeneration chaebol. It’s the roughest and strongest among the roles I’ve done so far, so I think the viewers will find it fresh.”
“Come to think of it, you’ve always played nice roles. And always welloff?”
“Yes. I’ve tried on a lot of expensive clothes each time. That’s the same this time around.”
In the quiet atmosphere, the two chuckled softly. However, the recorder placed next to the editor was doing its job faithfully, and her fingers, intent on transcribing every short comment from Ji Ho, were engrossed in typing.
“The reckless side naturally seems to have a big gap. What about the side that has had everything from birth? Is there a gap with the real An Ji Ho?”
She raised her palm slightly. Her sharp eyes, which had been fixed on the tablet, looked at Ji Ho.
“Yes, because almost everything I enjoy now was brought by being an actor.”
“I see. Actually… there’s almost nothing known about your personal life, Ji Ho. Except that you grew up in a remarried family. Oh, please forgive me if my expression was offensive.”
“No, it wasn’t offensive.”
Despite being able to choose softer words, the editor threw somewhat prickly ones. If it had been an interview that could be easily seen through, she wouldn’t have done so, but she was slightly provocative, perhaps hoping that it would provoke a reaction.
Of course, such superficial strategies didn’t work, and rather, he showed a face that embraced my apology. I felt he was not merely on top of the head, but above the clouds.
“Thank you for understanding. So, among all the things that the actor brought, what was most needed by An Ji Ho before he became an actor, and what made him most satisfied when he got it?”
She put both hands on the table. After all, it was impossible to cross the line that he had drawn verbally, and the entire conversation was being recorded. So, she shifted her focus to observing the subtle changes in his expressions and behavior when answering.
“Well, money of course. Even if it sounds materialistic.”
“More than money itself, the value that can be enjoyed with that money would have been satisfying, right? If it’s you, Ji Ho?”
“Thank you for wrapping it up like that.”
Ji Ho sent a comfortable gaze to the editor’s kind tone. He knew well that she was swinging her fists and offering candy to elicit a reaction from him.
“Phew, I should be the one thanking. Even though your manager is looking at me so scarily, you’ve answered all my questions.”
At the editor’s words, Bong Ki gave an awkward laugh. The two who saw his face also sent somewhat playful smiles. Of course, although they were laughing outwardly, none of the three was happy.
“Well, we have to keep promises so we can look forward to the next one. I’ll just ask this question and then only fill with movie talk.”
“Thank you.”
“So, what’s the first thing you did with that desperate money?”
“I think I bought a house.”
“As a gift for your parents? Or to live separately?”
Everyone knew that Ji Ho made his debut when he was a high school student. The fact that his worth skyrocketed over a hundredfold after his debut work is also wellknown. Now, whether it’s a multibillion won blockbuster, more than a third of the total production cost would be An Ji Ho’s appearance fee.
There was no noise compared to his known family history. One could only wonder whether he was indeed close enough to his stepfather to gift a house, but he also seemed too young to live separately.
“I became independent.”
“I see… then let’s really move on to the movie story.”
The editor nodded, feeling that her speculation might be slightly correct.
“What about dinner? Do you want to eat before going in?”
“I’ll eat at home.”
Ji Ho could see the unusually low hanging sun. It was almost 5 o’clock, soon the sun would be hidden, but it felt like it had been a long time since he last saw the sun. He blankly stared out of the window.
“Go home, have dinner, and sleep straight for 10 hours.”
“Uh, right. But it’s been a while since I’ve exercised.”
Bong Ki’s surprised eyes quickly scanned Ji Ho in the rearview mirror. Despite the response that he was stretching out his lethargic body, it was hard to believe.
“Are you planning to exercise today?”
“Yes. I’m thinking of going after eating, can you check if the timing is okay?”
“Wow… I really admire you. I couldn’t even imagine you saying you’re going to work out.”
