Side Story 4
First of all, there are many dramatic elements in that he appears to save the main character in a very critical situation.
Also, the basic setting of a handsome mercenary who can communicate in Korean is included, so the role itself is bound to be attractive.
'I wonder if these small settings were decided when I said I would appear.'
In fact, I felt that some of my characteristics overlapped with Chess Williams's, so I had reasonable doubts.
Maybe that's why I was able to immerse myself in my role without difficulty, even though it was my first time acting.
The confident attitude and slight arrogance that befits the role of the Vice-Captain of the Mercenary Corps should be expressed?
This is a character that was truly created for me.
"Cut! Let's check it out!"
As previously announced, my screen time was approximately 3 minutes.
The scene where I rescue the main character from Macau, and the scene where I take him to the shelter where the Korean National Intelligence Service agents are.
I only appear in two scenes.
At first, I was nervous because I had to memorize the lines, but they were relatively easy to memorize, and the lines themselves weren't too long.
All I had to do was memorize the lines I said while rescuing the main character and the dialogue where I handed him over to the National Intelligence Service agents.
Thanks to these things, I was able to pass the exam without feeling nervous at all after a few attempts, which was more than I expected.
"Even when I look at it again, you have a really nice appearance."
The production team of
Among them, Director Park Sang-yong, who approved my cameo appearance after hearing Director Kim Han-seong's suggestion, watched the scene where I took off my helmet several times.
"It's like it's breaking through the screen. I can't remember how long it's been since I've felt this way in the 15 years I've been in the field."
Even people who are considered handsome often don't show their true colors when they stand in front of the camera for a movie or drama.
However, I lightly ignored all of those conditions and showed off my incredible presence, so Director Park Sang-yong kept praising my face until his mouth was dry.
The actors all have luxurious visuals that boast a dignified atmosphere.
They have a completely different charm from idols.
I was grateful that the director, who had seen countless such actors, praised my appearance like this.
"This really came out well even when I watched it again."
"Haha....... It's all thanks to the directors who filmed it so well."
"No, you have to have something special to break through the screen like this."
Director Park Sang-yong looked at me and laughed loudly.
"I have a feeling that if this airs, Karis ssi will get a lot of offers."
"Surely there would be that much interest in someone like me who has no career and whose main occupation is not an actor?"
"Karis ssi's acting wasn't bad either. I would say that you have a confidence and naturalness that we wouldn't see in someone who's acting for the first time. There wasn't a single bit of awkwardness. It would be strange if someone with this kind of natural talent and appearance didn't get a love call. I'm thinking that I'd like to cast Karis ssi in my next project right away."
I thought to myself for a moment while listening to Director Park Sang-yong's words.
It was a short moment, but filming the project was a very fun experience.
It felt like I had briefly entered a different world away from the idol scene.
However, I always keep this thought in my heart.
My duty is as an idol, and the group and fans come first before anything else.
"I think it would be a really good experience if I could show my face in other works. I don't know what to do for being so considerate and giving me such kind words despite my lack of experience. However, I am an idol, not a professional actor. This time, the production staff of
I spoke slowly, expressing my gratitude.
"Through this shoot, I got to know the atmosphere on set well, and I learned how much fun acting is. So if I get another chance to act in the future, I want to try it with much more experience than I have now. Right now, I am a member of Seleste. For now, I will focus on my idol activities, and when I have free time, I want to come to you properly prepared."
"When I listen to what Karis ssi said, I feel like I am talking to someone with a lot of life experience, not a young friend."
Director Park Sang-yong kept looking at me with a somehow pleased look.
"It must not be easy to have this kind of mindset."
"No. That's really too much praise."
"It's been a long time since I've met someone who makes me wonder what kind of person they'll be in the future, so it's refreshing."

The short conversation with Director Park Sang-yong was truly Karis' true feelings and will.
When he killed the Demon King again and returned to the real world, he swore in his heart.
No matter what happens, he will live for the members, the fans, and the group called Seleste.
This will was also conveyed to Seleve who heard the news of the filming of
- How was Karis recent filming?! Wasn't acting hard?
- I want to see the episode with Karis soonㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
When Seleves heard that Karis had gone overseas to film
Most of the questions were about how the filming went and whether he had come back safely without getting hurt.
There were also a few specific questions that caught Karis' sharp eyes.
There are fans who feel uneasy about idols in groups doing individual activities.
Seleste has had almost no individual activities so far. Excluding a few individual variety show filmings and Kang Si Yoon's selection as an MC for a music show, this is actually Karis' first cameo appearance in a drama.
So there were fans who were expressing various concerns, but Karis had already anticipated these questions.
He needs to reassure them.
He needs to give them certain confidence.
[Karis]
Ah, and I have something I want to say to Seleve today.
Seleste exists because of Seleve, and I exist because of Seleve.
I want to show more of myself in front of Seleve in the future, and I want to create a more awesome stage.
So don't worry, I'll always focus on Seleste.
I didn't specify exactly what question I was answering.
But I firmly conveyed my feelings.
That Seleste will be the top priority no matter what happens.
Seleve must have wanted to hear those words the most, no matter what the situation was.
As someone who draws the future of the seven together, those are the words they wanted to see, hear, and confirm the most.
Karis, who knew that, did not hide his true feelings and conveyed them clearly.

While Karis was in Macau for a while to film
[Min-ha ya, can I see you?]
Yoo Min-ha received an unexpected call from Baek Si-hwa.
What did he say in the message? Yes.
He said he wanted to apologize properly after seeing his face for the first time in a long time.
When Yoo Min-ha saw Baek Si-hwa's call, he initially thought of saying no right away.
However, right before sending a rejection message, he stopped his fingers and thought for a moment.
A chance to tell him how he really felt.
And a chance to show that he was different from his old self.
Isn't this the chance given to him by heaven?
So he mustered up some courage and changed his mind.
[Yes]
Even while heading to the meeting place, Yoo Min-ha's heart was quite troubled.
First of all, after Baek Si-hwa was eliminated in
The last image of Baek Si-hwa that Yoo Min-ha remembered was...….
A scene where he poured out his inferiority complex in the practice room.
That kind of person, someone so selfish and obsessed with inferiority complex, was apologizing.... It was hard to even imagine it in his head.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry. To you.... I haven't had the time to talk to you properly since then. I thought it couldn't go on like this...…."
"...."
In a cafe where there was not a single person.
When he saw Baek Si-hwa lowering his head with both eyes, his complicated feelings seemed to be sorted out.
Yoo Min-ha was the type who never added much to what others said.
He always listened to others' words while thinking about his own opinions as much as possible.
That's why he thought that even if Baek Si-hwa blamed him for everything, it could be like that from his perspective.
As Karis said, from a third-party perspective, Baek Si-hwa's words and actions were unjustifiable.
At that time, Yoo Min-ha just tried to understand and accept everything.
But not anymore.
"Sihwa."
"Yeah."
"I was going to tell you from the beginning, I don't want to accept your apology."
"Huh...…?"
Baek Sihwa looks very flustered across the table.
That makes sense.
He probably couldn't have imagined that Yoo Min-ha would say something like that in such a calm and composed tone from the beginning.
"I don't know about you, but I still remember your last appearance in a bad light. I still remember the look in your eyes and the way you spoke to me in the practice room, even though it's been almost 3 years. Whenever I see you, I remember those feelings back then, so I hesitated to come out today."
"Ah, ah....... That's how it was."
"But I thought it would be better to say what I wanted to say after seeing you, so I came out."
Yoo Min-ha took a deep breath and spoke out the words he had prepared in his mind, one by one.
Without embellishment, without the opinions of others, his own thoughts.
"Thank you for saying you're reflecting. But I don't want to accept an apology. If I do, I think I'll forgive you for everything you did when we were in UbiQ. I don't think I can accept it because you'll forget the days I don't want to think about."
"Ah...…."
"Sihwa, I gained confidence through people who love and like me without your apology. I learned how to forget the past and live my life as myself, and how to look straight ahead. That's why."
Yoo Min-ha smiled faintly.
When was the last time he smiled in front of Baek Si-hwa?
It must have been when they were happily trainees together in UbiQ.
Before the debut group was turned upside down and collapsed, they often smiled sincerely at each other.
"I hope you don't call me out like this in the future. I'll get up first."
Good memories, painful and difficult memories.
Today, he'll put them all down on this table and move forward.
"Mi, Min-ha-!"
Baek Si-hwa looked at Yoo Min-ha, who was getting up from his seat, with a surprised look and reached out his hand, but Yoo Min-ha did not look back and went out of the cafe with a light heart.
'I feel relieved.'
Yoo Min-ha exhaled deeply toward the clear sky without a single cloud in sight.
This feeling of everything that had been pent up in his heart flying away.
It was all thanks to the members that he was able to say everything he wanted to say and that he was able to feel this relief.
The precious people who always treated Yoo Min-ha with a sincere heart.
How much longer would this pain have lasted if they weren't here?
'Should I stop by the convenience store on the way to the dorm and buy a few things?'
Yoo Min-ha smiled brightly today as he thought of the members.
