Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 408

Hyung, aren’t I cute? 408

The movie premiere event is on the screen.

They say if you use SNS [Social Networking Services, like Facebook or Instagram] and hashtags, you’ll get a gift when you leave.

While the assistant director in front was talking about that, I took Siha and Yeonju to where the actors were.

“Did you enjoy the movie? We’re having an event, so please post on SNS and get a gift outside. Thank you so much for spending your time watching our movie.”

I stood next to the director, listening to those words.

Siha greets him, happy to see him.

“Director! Hello.”

“Oh! Siha.”

“Director, where were you?”

“I was sitting here too. I watched the movie.”

“Did you watch it again, Director? Was it fun? They say if you watch it too much, your eyes will hurt.”

“Haha. I can’t help but watch it a lot.”

The director kept laughing, finding Siha’s words funny.

Yeonju is talking to the actor who played Team Leader 3.

I guess they’re closer because they appeared as a daughter and father.

I’m worried Professor Smith might look sad if he sees this.

“Yeonju, you seem taller since I last saw you?”

“Really? Dad always says, ‘When is our little one going to grow up?'”

“No, I think you’re growing little by little.”

“I want to grow up quickly and become an adult actor too.”

“You’re doing well enough now, so you’ll be able to do even more amazing acting when you grow up.”

As we were talking, the assistant director called us onto the stage.

“Now, let’s welcome the director and actors.”

It’s time for the stage greeting.

I guess we can just say a few words.

I walk up the stage. But no matter how I think about it, it’s a bit much for me to go up.

Mumbling.

Everyone is looking at the actors and the children.

Stories about Siha are also coming out. That he was the child in the CCTV [Closed-Circuit Television] at the end.

That they got a little teary-eyed while watching it.

I think he can be called a scene-stealer.

The director grabs the microphone first.

“Hello, I’m Director Go Dong-soo. Was the movie okay?”

“It was fun!”

“Thank you. I had to watch the movie, but I kept looking back because I was curious about what the audience thought.”

“Puhaha.”

“But I made eye contact with the reporter in the back. I felt awkward for no reason, so I bowed slightly. Was it okay?”

“Puhaha.”

The director started talking in a witty way.

“I actually worked in an office once. At that time, I thought my boss was a bad person, but oh, I realized that this person also has family love and a warm side. That’s the kind of experience that went into the movie.”

Everyone listens to the director’s words.

“There are things I haven’t experienced, but I always put my experiences into the movie at least once. I think it’s thanks to the actors that it was so well decorated and fun. I’ll end my greetings here.”

The microphone is passed on.

The actors say what roles they played and their real names.

They tell people to promote the movie a lot, like they said before.

Actor Kim Seok-hyun also speaks.

“The PPT [PowerPoint Presentation] that I presented in the movie, I actually worked really hard to make it.”

“Puhaha.”

“I even got permission from the director to ruin the details.”

“Puhaha.”

“Yes. In the end, the flaw in the movie was the PPT. If there are any complaints, I’m worried that the evaluation will go down because of the PPT.”

The audience is really enjoying it.

He was a truly amazing actor. Not only is he good at acting, but he’s also good at talking, so he’ll be very popular if he goes on variety shows.

Originally, if the talk is good, it’s fun.

Then the microphone came to Yeonju.

“Hello, I’m Yeonju, who played Yeonju.”

The reason why they used Siha and Yeonju’s names as they are is because of the immersion in the acting.

At that time, they were 4 years old, so they might make mistakes in their lines.

“It was fun filming the movie for the first time. The dad here helped me a lot. Ah! He’s not my real dad, he’s a fake dad.”

“Puhaha.”

The audience looked at Yeonju cutely at the word ‘fake dad’.

“Thank you for enjoying it. Please support us a lot.”

She speaks well. She might be nervous about this, but she’s definitely amazing.

I wonder if our Siha is nervous?

Still, he’s been in front of many people at daycare and has experience.

I’m next to him too. I don’t think he’ll be that nervous. I think he’ll say what he wants to say.

“Hello. I’m Siha. This is Hyung.”

“Puhaha.”

Why, why am I being introduced?

Suddenly, I think Siha wanted to introduce and brag about Hyung to people before…….

“Siha had fun with the movie. Did the adults have fun too?”

“Yes! It was fun!”

“Hyung said it was fun too. I made a movie with Hyung.”

“???”

If you say that, everyone won’t know.

I guess he wants to say that I also translated and participated together.

“The glitter was on the CCTV, so I did better. Sparkling.”

Ah, I think the lens was really sparkling at that time.

Anyway, I really hope the movie does well.

I think I need to wrap up.

“Everyone, subscribe to the movie! Like it! Press it!”

Siha. This isn’t a YouTube video…….

You’re supposed to put hashtags on SNS and promote it.

It would be a disaster if this movie was uploaded to YouTube for free.

But the audience seemed to understand what he was saying and smiled.

They seem to think Siha is really cute.

The reaction is good today, so I think the premiere will be okay?

“Hyung!”

Siha, why are you giving me the microphone?

I was bewildered and was about to give it to the director, but the assistant director looked at me and introduced me.

“Oh? This is not Siha’s fake brother, but his real brother.”

“Ah, hello.”

Everyone burst out laughing at the assistant director’s words.

It was a word that applied the fake dad that Yeonju said earlier.

“Moreover, although he didn’t come out today, he is the translator who translated the movie.”

The audience widened their eyes, saying, “Is that so?”

Oh oh. Are you introducing this? I’m embarrassed for no reason.

“Haha. Please take care of the movie. Yes!”

I barely passed the microphone to the director.

The assistant director proceeded with another corner. The stage greeting was over, but there was a special gift presentation left.

“Yes. We have prepared a small event as a token of our appreciation. This is because you drink a lot of coffee at the company.”

“Yes!”

“But it’s not coffee. It’s tea. You’ll drink a lot of coffee when you go to the company. Today, we have prepared this tea set. Now, the director and actors will call out the audience members and come out to receive it.”

The director grabbed the microphone.

One of the audience members shouts, “You’re handsome!”

“You’re handsome. Who is it? Come and get it.”

“Kyaak!”

The decision is made quickly.

Maybe it’s because he’s a director, but he catches the timing really well.

Next is actor Kim Seok-hyun.

“Everyone uses SNS, right? Is there anyone who has already posted this?”

“Me!”

“Judging by the small voice, about 3 people have done it.”

“Puhahahaha.”

“This is a bit difficult. Yes. The first person to raise their hand, come and get it.”

“Awesome!”

“Ah, can I check for a moment? I’m at the bottom, so if I don’t check this, I’ll get scolded by my boss.”

“Ah!”

“I’m kidding.”

The actors gave gifts themselves, and then it was Yeonju’s turn.

I wonder if she can do well?

If she can’t, I’ll have to help her.

“Maybe. Can I give it to my close friend? I came with my friend today.”

“Yes!”

“Thank you. Jaehwi. Get this gift.”

Jaehwi’s eyes widen.

Professor Smith, who is sitting next to the teacher, widens his eyes as if they are about to tear.

The feeling of betrayal spread all over his face.

Jaehwi quickly came to the stage and received the gift.

“Yeonju. Thank you.”

“No. Let’s eat this with all my friends.”

“Okay.”

But I don’t think they should drink tea carelessly. Well, the teacher will check it out.

Next is Siha.

Should I expect this much?

Saying something like, ‘I’ll give it to Hyung!’

When Siha received the microphone, one of the audience members shouted, “You’re cute!”

“No. Siha is not cute. Siha is cool. Because Hyung is cool.”

“Puhaha.”

“Hyung. Siha won’t give it to Hyung.”

Oh? He’s not giving it to me. I feel a little sad for no reason.

And Siha’s next words continue.

“Siha will buy it for you later.”

“Puhaha.”

Hueuk. He plays with my heart. He plays with my heart. He plays with my heart.

“Then Siha will say it.”

“Oooo.”

“Who should I choose? Let’s guess. Ding Dong Daeng Dong!” [Sound effect for guessing game]

“Puhaha.”

“Let’s ask Dr. Know-It-All!”

The faces of the people around Siha, who are pointed at with his hand, brighten up.

“Siha is the third!”

Siha flicked his finger and pointed to the third person from the bottom up.

That person also has a bewildered expression.

The master of push and pull. Lee Siha. Why did he sing the song?

In fact, choosing the third person was already predetermined, not push and pull.

Okay. If it’s not Hyung, I’ll choose the third person.

“Congratulations.”

“Oh? Oh? Thank you.”

The audience member receives the gift with a bewildered look and returns to their seat.

The assistant director says.

“Wow. Siha is doing a better job than me. Haha.”

“Hahaha.”

“Yes! Then we’ll wrap it up with this. Don’t be disappointed if you didn’t get a gift. If you post your impressions on SNS, you’ll get a gift, so be sure to get it when you leave. Yes! If you enjoyed watching it, please spread the good word. We’ll say goodbye here. Attention! Bow!”

“Thank you!”

We greeted and went out of the stage.

It seemed to have ended well somehow.

Yeonju and Siha did a great job.

***

The premiere is over.

The movie will be officially released in a few days.

People who watched the premiere leave posts on SNS or leave reviews.

In fact, the premiere is not held only once.

The actors greet several times. Some actors can’t come, and some actors come.

In other words, Siha doesn’t have to go to the stage greeting every time.

In the first place, he’s not an actor who appears in that many scenes.

It’s good if he comes, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t.

The director will definitely attend the premiere.

Anyway, Yeonju or Siha only went to that premiere once, so it’s lucky for the people who came at that time.

There will never be another chance to see the kids in the movie.

Well, I see them every day, so it doesn’t matter.

On SNS, there were posts bragging that there were cute kids in the movie and that they even saw the stage greeting.

‘Hmm. I want to brag too.’

Seeing this, I can’t help but think that I can’t lose.

I want to brag too! Our Siha is amazing! Our Siha is cool! He’s a great actor!

Yes! Let’s brag! If you watch the movie, people who know will know anyway, so what’s the worry?

Anyway, he’ll only appear briefly and disappear after a brief topic.

Then isn’t this the only chance to brag?

I have to brag!

Everyone will definitely not remember it later.

Siha will grow up and get taller.

Let’s enjoy it now.

I took out my phone and created a group chat room.

I want to brag to people who are pretty close to me.

[Lee Si-hyuk invited Moon Do-hwan Hyung, Baek Dong-hwan, Alisa, Hong Jin-soo Manager, Ahn Kyung-ho, Park Kyung-joon, Shin Kyung-hwan, Seo Soo-hyun, Park Han-soo President, Choi Chul-ho Employee, Shin Chang-min Writer (Theater and Film Department), Bell Pro Gamer, Ahn Hyun-tae (NM Team Leader), Uncle.]

-Moon-do: You crazy bastard…. Do you have to create a new group chat room for that? lol [laughing out loud]

-Moon-do: No lol really lol How many people are there lol

-Si-hyuk: It’s good to say it as a group???? It’s better than saying it one by one.

-Baek-dong: Hyung [term for older brother or close male friend]!! I’m disappointed. Why didn’t you take me to the premiere! Can I dub that movie into English!

-Si-hyuk: Yeah. No. It’s going to be released as a translated version. Who dubs movies these days???

-Baek-dong: Why not!!

-Alisa: Siha is cute….

-Alisa: I’ll definitely go see this! To see Siha!

-Si-hyuk: Ah, for reference, he only comes out for about 3 minutes? 4 minutes?

-Moon-do: Hey!! It’s not even a cup ramen, and you only come out that much? You made this chat room with that?!?

-Si-hyuk: Why? What?

-Moon-do: You cheeky bastard.

I didn’t know when I made it, but Manager Hong Jin-soo was also included.

-Hong-jin-soo: No! What is this! Why are you telling me this now!

-Hong-jin-soo: At this point, should I get a magazine interview? Child actor Lee Siha, born from KI!

-Si-hyuk: ???

-Si-hyuk: Why is that born from KI?

-Hong-jin-soo: Uh-huh. He belongs to our company!

-Hong-jin-soo: Ah, if I really interview this and advertise it, child actor Lee Siha’s pop-up book! I think it will sell well!

-Hong-jin-soo: What do you think?

-Si-hyuk: I’m sorry, but I think I invited you to the wrong room. Get out!

-Hong-jin-soo: I love you. This is a major issue that all KI employees should know! I will definitely promote it!!!

-Si-hyuk: Don’t do that…. Please…..

Kyung Trio also talked excitedly.

They are still the same even when I see them on KakaoTalk [popular messaging app].

-Ahn Kyung-ho: I’m saying this as the head of the club, isn’t it good to make this movie into a game?

-Si-hyuk: That much?

-Park Kyung-joon: I agree too. Let’s make an app before the release of Season 3. Where is the studio??

-Shin Kyung-hwan: Si-hyuk. I’m sorry. I’ll take care of these guys. Anyway, they’re both talking nonsense….

-Ahn Kyung-ho: Ha! Why is that? Isn’t it natural? We have to support you!

-Shin Kyung-hwan: Please just support me. A little.

-Ahn Kyung-ho: Ha! There are always kids who take it so seriously. It’s a joke. Really.

-Park Kyung-joon: Should I call the club kids? Are you really making it?

-Ahn Kyung-ho: ;;;

-Shin Kyung-hwan: Look! That guy is serious! Don’t just talk nonsense!

-Ahn Kyung-ho: Sorry, I didn’t know there would be someone who would take it so seriously…

-Shin Kyung-hwan: You’ve been watching him for over 4 years and you’re still saying that….

The three of them still had good Tika Taka [quick back-and-forth banter or teamwork].

Seo Soo-hyun appeared after a long time.

-Seo Soo-hyun: Oppa [term for older brother used by females]! I already posted this on the department group chat???

-Si-hyuk: Why are you so fast…..

-Seo Soo-hyun: (An emoticon of a frog sticking out its tongue and hitting its head with its fist)

-Si-hyuk: Ha! I really want to hit you….

-Seo Soo-hyun: Are you talking about the emoticon??

-Seo Soo-hyun: (An emoticon of a frog that is depressed)

I was going to brag to only a few people, but it looks like everyone will know about it.

Oh? This is not the form I wanted?

-Seo Soo-hyun: Oppa! I’ve made a decision!

-Si-hyuk: What?

-Seo Soo-hyun: (A frog emoticon with a heart)

-Seo Soo-hyun: Please give me a chance~ hehehe

-Si-hyuk: Was it a decision to apologize??? You’re dead??

-Seo Soo-hyun: Ah~ why are you doing that~ heeing heeing [crying sound]

-Si-hyuk: Don’t cry heeing heeing, cry gae gul gae gul [frog sound]. When I say it nicely….

-Seo Soo-hyun: Is that the problem?!

Yes! Frogs must cry gae gul gae gul.

-Uncle: I have to make Siha’s picture look ugly by distorting it with an app and make fun of him lol

Uncle was full of thoughts of teasing Siha.
