​

​

My smartphone was full of contacts from my acquaintances who had heard the news, but among them, Olivia was the first to contact me when she found out that I would be starring in a Hollywood movie.

​

-Minho!!!!! Is it true that you’re starring in a Nexus Studios movie?!! How can you keep that a secret between us!! You should have told me!! Are you still in the US? Are you still in Hollywood? I’m going, so just wait!

​

I automatically burst into laughter at the loudness felt in the letters.

​

‘If I say that, it’s a violation of the contract, so how can I tell you? And where are you coming during the semester?’

​

Even if I told Olivia, I doubt she would start a rumor, but a contract was a contract. Even though the other person is not a criminal or a terrorist, it is right for me to keep the promises I made with my mouth. This could be a spoiler.

​

And although she was in the same state as California, San Francisco and Los Angeles had to be traveled by plane. It’s a long distance, taking about 7 hours one way if you don’t take a plane.

​

It is true that it is a burden for her to come and go while the semester is in full swing.

​

I had no choice but to stop her from rushing to LA right away and tell her that I would come visit her myself later. Because if I move, I can use the door to go anywhere in an instant.

​

‘Is it because it’s America? I missed my senior year of high school… ‘

​

Actually, I didn’t study that hard either. With that in mind, I checked other contacts.

​

-Are you appearing in Steel Heart? Is this true? So you’re playing the hero that was announced at Comic Con back then? Since when were you cast?

​

A text message from Jeong Soo-jin.

​

-Minho oppa, is this real? Hollywood??? So what about streaming now? There’s an interesting new work coming out soon, so I was thinking about merging with my brother… !

​

A text message from Sarah.

​

-I heard the news after coming to the U.S. for an overseas event. I completed the song with the inspiration I received at that time… I really want to tell you. Everyone around me is talking about you. See you later when I have time.

​

And even Jiyu Moon, who I met in Saipan.

​

It was a precious relationship where everyone was surprised to hear the news and either congratulated me or worried about me.

​

‘… If you think about it, I’m also a huge playboy by real-life standards.’

​

How come the only people I’ve contacted are women?

​

In the early days when I got the ticket, I remember running around here and there, excited about the abilities I got for the first time. Even now, the way I do things hasn’t really changed, but there is still a significant difference between the abilities I have then and now.

​

It didn’t mean I regret it.

​

There wasn’t a special event, but I kept in touch with them and even saw them face to face from time to time.

​

But recently, I started to think that it wasn’t a good idea to increase too many casual relationships.

​

‘Now, I am also in a similar position as a public figure in my own way.’

​

Janey, Maria, who only saw me and followed me into reality, and Namgoong Hwa-ran, who wanted to have a child. And even the women in Namhira, including siblings Lee Hye-ri and Lee Yu-ri.

​

At least, as I lost the attention of women who said they liked me, the urge to meet new women had largely disappeared.

​

Maybe it’s because he’s already met enough women.

​

Blood ㅡ

​

‘If my old self had heard it, I might have said I was full.’

​

A life like a playboy isn’t bad. However, as the power one has increases, perhaps the sense of responsibility also increases.

​

Jeong Soo-jin, who helped me start my first Internet broadcast and even participated in Comic-Con with me, and Sarah, who I rescued from a stalker after we joined together starting from the suspicion of nuclear weapons. Moon Ji-yu and Moon Ji-yu naturally became attracted to each other while filming a variety show in Saipan.

​

There is no need to mention Olivia, who actively shows off her presence by dashing forward.

​

If I want to have a deeper relationship with them, I might have to share some of my secrets.

​

‘I guess I’ll have to make a decision soon. Unless you hide your identity when you meet women in real life.’

​

After Steel Heart is released, my awareness will probably increase tremendously. Then, my interest in the people I was connected to would naturally increase.

​

I was already seeing signs of an explosive increase in the frequency of my name being mentioned online.

​

Because this incident happened in Hollywood, it attracted as much attention in Korea as it did in the United States.

​

[Nexus Studio’s new Korean hero. What is the streamer?]

[How did a streamer enter Hollywood?]

[Streamer Lee Min-ho confirmed to appear on Steel Heart!]

[What kind of hero is Ignis, who will be played by Lee Min-ho?]

​

In particular, Nexus Studio’s hero movies were very popular in Korea. When released in theaters, it is Nexus Studio’s movies that occupy most of the screens.

​

Even the American media was publishing articles all at once, so there was no way the Korean media could just sit by and watch.

​

Thanks to this, it was a situation that caused a stir not only among viewers who watched the streaming, but also among ordinary people who had no interest in such things.

​

The consensus everywhere was that it was a shocking announcement, but other than that, the streamer community generally responded with anticipation.

​

-Is this a true story? Lee Min-ho is appearing in the movie?

-This is an unprecedented incident. Isn’t this the first time a streamer is filming a Hollywood movie?

ㄴ Not the first. Most of them are just cameos.

-It would be so cool to wear a hero costume. Lee Min-ho is usually good at exercising and has a good body.

-Was interviewing this guy all an act? He asked if I had met the actor who played Ignis, and he just put a metal plate on his face and asked the question haha.

ㄴ The reason Jackson Reed spewed water at that time was not because the question was sudden, but because it was truly absurd.

-You see Yang Ji-gak like this?

ㄴ In terms of broadcast scale, it was the closest to sunny day.

ㄴ Thinking about the travel entertainment I did before, it was already half sunny.

-It’s so funny how surprised you two are when you see what Lee Min-ho has done.

ㄴ I’m watching the news right now and I don’t know if I’m watching Gukbong YouTube or the news haha.

​

However, the streamer community is a place that welcomes such large-scale events, so expectations were higher.

​

Or there were reactions that simply enjoyed seeing America thrown into chaos because of a Korean named Lee Min-ho.

​

‘Anyway, they seem like people who are crazy about dopamine.’

​

There were mixed reactions, both good and bad, in the film community and elsewhere.

​

-I’m a Nexus Studio fan, but Lee Min-ho is Ignis? Since they said he was a Korean hero, I was curious about what kind of actor would play him, but this was really shocking.

-All the talk about virtual casting has gone astray.

Who on earth would have expected a streamer to appear?

-How on earth did you get cast in a Hollywood movie? There are many cases where even Korean actors who are said to be great cannot even step on the threshold of Hollywood.

ㄴ That’s because there are very few actors with a face, body, and English skills.

ㄴ I was wondering who the heck Lee Min-ho is to do something like this, so I looked it up and it seemed like there was nothing he couldn’t do as long as he had acting skills.

-Isn’t that too much for someone who isn’t even an actor?

ㄴ Surprisingly, there is a positive response from the local community.

ㄴ Why?

ㄴ Public opinion is okay that he is a real-life hero because of the things he did. America actually likes stories like this.

​

At the same time, a post that saw me suddenly go to Hollywood and deduced that the person who played Ignis was me became a sacred place. The post was almost completely filled with comments asking people to do well on the college entrance exam and asking for lottery numbers.

​

‘I expected viewers to react in surprise when the movie was released, but this reaction is interesting enough.’

​

As I watched the Internet abuzz with my story, I couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

​

‘… ‘Should I stop sightseeing here?’

​

I quickly turned on the broadcast and put on my helmet, ignoring the screams of viewers asking me to explain the situation.

​

“… … .”

​

Time for dusk to fall on the streets.

​

My eyes were focused on Sweet Films’ headquarters, which was still brightly lit.

​

​

​

Thomas Brown.

​

He was a new employee who had been working at Sweet Films for a month now.

​

For a month, he quietly kept his mouth shut and did what he was told to do in order to understand the work, but the more he worked, the more he couldn’t stop the thoughts that this wasn’t right from filling his mind.

​

“But isn’t this too harsh? ?”

​

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Thomas cautiously asked his senior.

​

The task he was assigned to this time was to inspect animations that children watch.

​

The problem was that his boss was taking the animation’s consulting direction strangely.
