【Japanese Media】

[RINE, Collaboration with Director Yusaku’s “Weeds” Foreseen?]

The spark thrown by the Japanese media did its job. It began to spread with tremendous force in an instant.

[“Weeds” Production Team, Not Giving Up on the Work Until the End.]

[Exclusive | Lee Sua Announces Position! No Leaving “Weeds”!]

In the midst of all this, Lee Sua’s statement of position exploded one after another.

It was reason enough for public opinion to sway greatly. Lee Sua’s joining, RINE’s collaboration, doesn’t it seem like they’re solving all the crises “Weeds” is experiencing at once?

It was natural for Japanese reporters to feel doubt.

“Team Leader! Did you see the article? RINE is collaborating with ‘Weeds’? Are they perhaps providing the money?”

“Of course, I saw it! What’s going on? What kind of connection was there with RINE, and why is Lee Sua saying she’ll stay with the work until the end?”

“I don’t know either!”

“I thought it was going to fail without a doubt because the investors all pulled out, but suddenly what’s all this! A headache!”

For them, there was no way to find out the connection between RINE and “Weeds.” But. Even so.

No matter how hard it is to believe, no matter how shocked they are.

In the end, what the reporters had to do was decided.

“What are you doing? Let’s upload ours first!”

Reprocessing stimulating bait.

There wasn’t a reporter who wanted to miss this opportunity, where views would be copied just by getting on this trend.

As a result, of course, articles were copied in the media.

[RINE, Not Just Partial Investment in “Weeds” But Fully Funding It? What Kind of Connection Could There Be? Growing Questions.]

[Yusaku, Who Released a Statement Just in Time… ‘There Is No Discord With Akiko. Strict Response to Rumors.’]

Since portal sites were plastered like this, it didn’t take long for word to spread.

Soon, Japanese actors, industry officials, and ordinary people who read these articles all began to talk about it in various places.

“’RINE’ is a messenger company, and they’ve never invested in movies before, right? What’s going on all of a sudden?”

“I know. And even if they were to invest, wouldn’t it be much safer to invest in Akiko’s side?”

“It must be a baseless rumor.”

“If it’s a rumor, how far does the rumor go? For now, it seems like it’s confirmed that Sua will stay until the end, right?”

The flames of public opinion are growing systematically.

Here, Mystic and the “Weeds” side didn’t move hastily but rather hunkered down. They knew how to calmly wait for the right moment, presenting only two pieces of information.

* Lee Sua will stay until the end. * The discord with Akiko is a rumor.

And there was fruit for those who waited.

In the end, the Japanese community was ignited.

In the end, the Japanese community was also ignited.

【Japanese Community】

─Isn’t RINE too out of the blue?

─It’s suspicious that public opinion is changing overnight. Could “Weeds” be using a viral marketing company as a last resort? It doesn’t make sense otherwise, right?

─There are quite a few credible official clues to be a rumor. It doesn’t seem like a story to ignore.

─It’s confirmed that Lee Sua is going all the way.

─In that case, isn’t there a possibility of “Weeds” being revived?

─To be honest, I’m curious about Lee Sua’s Yakuza! Existing noir films were just about wearing suits and being cruel, right?

The change has already begun.

At the same time, this was just the beginning.

[RINE Suddenly Silent, What Is the Truth?]

RINE’s CEO, Mawakubo, quietly sipped water and looked at the monitor. The plan to save “Weeds” was already meticulously stacked in his head.

◈◈◈◈◈

Two days later, the mansion where “High Society” is being filmed.

While “Is Weeds Reviving or Not?” is starting to burn brightly in Japan, Sua is here again today.

This is because the filming of “High Society” has not completely finished yet.

“Going into shooting! Ready! Action!”

Originally, the “maid” that Sua was in charge of didn’t have many scenes, so filming should have ended yesterday, but today they are inevitably filming again. The reason was simple.

“Ah, I made another mistake…. I’m sorry….”

It was because the actress playing the third daughter kept making NGs. It’s not Sua’s fault, is it? Sua is blameless!

No, actually, Sua was the cause. She couldn’t come to her senses because of Sua’s seductive acting skills.

In the midst of all this, Sua gave advice to the other actress.

“Calm down. Clear your head, and imagine that it’s just you and me in this space.”

“Thank you.”

The other person bowed her head. Even though she’s actually Sua’s *sunbae*. She said, feeling awkward.

“It’s hard to clear my head today for some reason. I’m not usually like this, but I’m nervous because I’m doing it with Sua-ssi.”

“…Is that so?”

Sua could only tilt her head.

‘It may be difficult to fill your head, but is it possible that it’s difficult to empty it? Could it be just me…?’

So to speak, Sua’s question?

‘Really? Just me? There’s no way!’

*Kukung!* Lightning struck Sua’s head.

And a little later.

“Okay! Good! See! You can do it if you try! Aigo, Sua-ssi, you suffered a lot from filming it multiple times!”

Was it thanks to Sua’s advice? The bath scene filming at the mansion finally ended. It was also the moment when Sua completely finished her mission in “High Society.”

So to speak, Sua’s ending!

Meanwhile, writer Park Yumi is smiling pleasantly and talking to someone. None other than Director Park Muryong.

“Your head is still shining.”

“…Why are you picking a fight as soon as you see me?”

“Aww, look at your eyes. You get angry even when I compliment you.”

“You should have your hair fall out too. Your kindness falls out with it.”

“So, should my hair be long? Because I’m so kind.”

The reason why Director Park Muryong, whose bald head is shining, came here was simple. He originally had a friendship with writer Park Yumi, and at the same time, he is now a fan of Sua.

Director Park Muryong said with force in his voice.

“How is it, isn’t Sua-ssi amazing?”

“Yes. She’s amazing. To be honest, at first, I thought the people who experienced Sua-ssi were exaggerating, but now I know. That’s not the case.”

“Right. Her skills are her skills, but she has a charm of the devil. Just look at me, I came all the way to watch, didn’t I?”

“So, did you have a good time watching?”

“Of course. More than that…. To be honest, it’s creepy.”

“Creepy? What is?”

“Sua-ssi, who showed a nonchalant gangster in my filming set, is a maid here, and this gap is too big? There’s no acting ghost.”

“A ghost, that’s so funny. How many nicknames does Sua-ssi already have? They call her a spirit in Japan.”

Then, writer Park Yumi seemed to have thought of something.

“Ah, speaking of Japan, I thought of something.”

She suddenly changed the topic.

“Speaking of ‘Weeds’, which Sua-ssi is participating in in Japan. There’s a rumor that RINE is providing the investment?”

“I saw it too. But it’s hard to believe. RINE has never invested in a movie before.”

“One thing is certain.”

Writer Park Yumi suddenly put strength in her voice.

“If that’s true, it’s really amazing.”

The two nodded at the same time.

“High Society” actor’s waiting room.

“Hoo.”

*Sseueuk— sseueuk—*

Sua is being returned to her original appearance by the stylists again. It was at the same time as exhaling the “fox-like” charm on her body with a deep breath.

“Sua-ssi, please tell us if our touch is too rough! It’s hard to take off.”

“It’s okay. Don’t worry about me.”

“…How can I not worry? Sua-ssi is the hottest topic in both Korea and Japan right now.”

The stylist’s question.

Honestly, Sua couldn’t deny that statement at all. Because she understood what kind of atmosphere the Japanese media was in.

It’s me! The woman who’s heating up Japan and Korea! Lee Sua!

But her head was just as busy.

‘What’s going on? Did the rumor start because of my announcement that I would stay in the work until the end?’

Here, the rumor was, of course, the rumor related to RINE.

The rumor that RINE is collaborating with “Weeds.” Sua’s eyes widened as soon as she saw it. So suddenly? Why?

Therefore, the conclusion reached after much thought was.

Since the news that Sua is with “Weeds” spread, people started looking for reasons why Sua had no choice but to be with “Weeds,” and they attached RINE to it…. Isn’t that how it is? Doesn’t that sound plausible?

But soon Yoo Han-Sua intervened.

─That doesn’t fit the order. The article related to RINE broke before Mystic announced its position.

‘Come to think of it, that’s right? Then what is it really?’

For Sua, it was just a question. Sua’s question!

‘Even if RINE didn’t get involved because of me, are they at least solving the money problem? That’s why the work’s rating kept going up?’

At this time.

─♩♪♬

Suddenly, Sua’s phone rang.

The caller is Director Yusaku.

“….”

They say speak of the devil, and he calls? Sua stared at the screen.

“Sua-ssi, should we step outside?”

“I’m sorry. I’ll ask you to.”

The quick-witted stylists took the initiative to leave the waiting room for a while, and Sua finally answered the phone.

“はい、監督、スアです.” (*Hai, Kantoku, Sua desu.*) (“Yes, Director, it’s Sua.”)

Thanks to Sua’s fluent Japanese, translation between the two was not necessary, and Director Yusaku immediately shouted.

“Sua-ssi!”

“Yeah?”

Sua could guess just from that.

Director Yusaku, you seem to be really excited right now?

In fact, he continued in an excited voice.

“Sua-ssi! The investment problem has been completely resolved!”

“Really?”

“Yes! Would I joke about something like this? Really. Now ‘Weeds’ has no financial crisis!”

“Oh, um….”

Sua didn’t actually know this would happen, so she couldn’t help but stammer when trying to react suddenly now.

In the end, the reaction she gave was.

“That’s a relief. That it didn’t collapse.”

A sincere statement without any fancy rhetoric.

But soon, an unexpected reaction came back.

“It’s all thanks to Sua-ssi! Thank you!”

“Pardon?”

“Didn’t you hear? It’s all thanks to Sua-ssi! As a director, I would like to express my deep gratitude!”

“No, I heard. I heard it clearly, but….”

Sua couldn’t understand. Why is that my help?

Isn’t it actually thanks to the person who solved the money problem? All I did was not get off the ship called “Weeds” until the end.

“The, is the money problem related to RINE?”

“That’s right!”

“…?”

Then I really don’t understand even more?

Sua looked back on it several times, but she couldn’t find a connection between herself and RINE. She hasn’t even installed the RINE app on her phone.

Of course, Sua soon made her own guess.

‘I heard that Japanese people are good at superficiality, is this that? A feeling of praising me for having my own contribution?’

Around the time she had that thought, Yusaku said.

“I should have just given you the information, but I couldn’t overcome my emotions and made a fuss. I’ll take care of things here first and then call you again.”

“Ah, yes. Please do it calmly.”

“Thank you. Sua-ssi, have a good day!”

“You too, Director.”

Sua was a little dazed after hanging up, but she decided to just accept it. The good is the good, right?

Sua’s philosophy is that if the situation is getting worse for reasons she doesn’t know, it’s something to worry about, but if it’s getting better, there’s no reason to question it!

Sua has never committed a crime, so there’s really no reason to be anxious. Yeah, yeah, let’s focus on the present.

Meanwhile, the stylists who were waiting outside while Sua was talking on the phone were talking loudly.

“Sua-ssi, did you see the Japanese articles? It seems like public opinion is changing rapidly?”

“I saw it too. RINE related.”

“RINE is the national messenger in Japan, right?”

“…Did it stick to her because of Sua-ssi? That’s amazing.”

This was not just a story for the stylists. It applies to everyone at the “High Society” site.

“Is Sua-ssi related to RINE?”

“Maybe Mystic didn’t say anything, but she’s already landed something like a RINE promotional model, right?”

“…Or maybe there’s an internal staff member? I heard that Sua-ssi is a bit highborn.”

The rumors started to spread like wildfire.

◈◈◈◈◈

3 days later.

Sua’s “High Society” filming is wrapping up, and these days, when the Japanese media is also confused. A completely different aspect was unfolding in the Korean media.

[“Lie, Lie, Lie” Mystic’s Actors Seo Yeon-joo─Lee Sua, Show Miraculous Chemistry.]

The articles related to *Samjitmal* are exploding with promotion.

This was even with the final trailer.

[OFFICIAL]

[“Lie, Lie, Lie,” Final Trailer]

The final trailer revealed more of Sua’s appearance than the previous trailers.

In addition, there was one decisive factor.

[Meet Us at the Theater on September 13th!]

Finally, the release date was clearly revealed.

This alone was enough to excite Sua’s fan cafe, but it wasn’t over yet. The dish served to them was not just one.

[OFFICIAL]

[Netflix | Alien Game]

[Only on Netflix, Released on September 20th]

The news of the release of Alien Game.

Both works star Sua, one is a movie theater and the other is an OTT platform. Exactly one week apart.

◈◈◈◈◈

*Buuuuuuung—*

Inside the taxi running towards the preview.

*Sagurak— sagurak—*

A woman was sitting in the back seat reading a script.

It was close to a tattered rag, with all sorts of colored highlighters shining, and there was so much she had written down separately that there was no empty space on the paper.

Then suddenly, the woman slammed the script shut.

“Hoo….”

She took a deep breath and looked back on her past.

She used to travel in luxurious vans, and she used to get her makeup done meticulously. There was a time when she felt like the world was endlessly easy.

Compared to that, the world is too harsh now.

But.

Why? I felt like I was excited about it.

*Ttirring—*

She checked the message on her phone.

[Sender: “Crescendo From Tomorrow” Production Team]

▷ Ha-rin-ssi, you must not be late!

Yes, her identity is Yang Ha-rin.

From today, filming for “Crescendo From Tomorrow” begins.
