Chapter 423 Idol Acting Standing before the boys was the beautiful Hana Lim in all her glory. The room turned silent as they continued to stare at her, not believing she would come and visit their show. Wonbin smiled and welcomed Hana inside, brushing the boys aside and leading her to her designated seat.
For a moment, her eyes met with June, and a knowing smirk appeared on her lips. Meanwhile, June also smiled while subtly shaking his head. "Boys," Wonbin said once Hana was all settled. "Why don't you take your seats too?" The boys mindlessly walked to their designated seats, their gazes still focused on Hana. As idols, they get to see a lot of good-looking people.
However, meeting actors, especially those who have established themselves in the industry, was quite rare. Hana Lim, despite becoming an A-list actress only recently, had left a mark in the hearts of many with her loveable characters. Her first work as a lead actress was the highest-rated show of the year, and it also led her to win the 'Best Actress' and 'Best New Actress' awards.
Not many people had achieved her feats, so Hana Lim was definitely amazing. On the other hand, Kim Seobin and Kang Minho have been in the industry for longer, and they've also established their names as excellent actors. Seobin focused on dramas and films, while Minho ventured out into the variety sector.
Nonetheless, they were known as good friends in the industry who diligently supported each other's projects. "She's gotten prettier since the last time I saw her," Akira whispered to his members. Zeth clicked his tongue and shook his head. "I still don't believe you've met her. She's in so many projects!It's almost impossible to meet her." "We really did, though," Jisung whispered. "She's close with—" "Alright, boys. Now that you're settled down, let me formally introduce you to our special guests," Wonbin exclaimed, cutting their conversation short. They all shifted their focus to the front, looking like a bunch of curious meerkats.
Even CHAOS, who had a 'cool' and 'untouchable' aura, became a sucker for the actors in front. "First, let me introduce you to the country's heartthrob, the multi-talented actor of our generation—Kang Minho!" The participants clapped loudly as Minho stood and took a small bow. "It's nice to see familiar faces," Minho said, referring those who have participated in Rising Stars. "I'm also looking forward to getting to know the unfamiliar faces in the room." Wonbin nodded. "I'm sure we'll get the chance to interact later in the pre-mission." "Now, we have here two actors who were very hard to cast," Wonbin said, causing the pair of actors to chuckle. "They are currently starring in the popular drama 'Love in the Time of Royalty,' which is airing on our very own SBC channel. They had garnered increasing ratings each week, and they show no signs of stopping!" Wonbin grandly introduced. "Who among you here have watched their drama?" he asked. Over half of the participants raised their hands, with Jisung and Akira being the most enthusiastic. "We have very enthusiastic fans, I see," Wonbin chuckled. "Well, I won't delay this any further.
Let's start off with the male lead of the drama—Kim Seobin!" Seobin stood and was met with enthusiastic cheers. "Thank you for inviting us here," he charismatically said. "I'm excited to introduce the pre-mission later on." Wonbin smiled. "The guys are going to like it for sure." "And, last but not least, we have the beautiful, most sought-after actress of the year—Hana Lim!" The boys already started to cheer even before Wonbin's introduction ended. June shook his head in amusement as he glanced at the enthusiastic participants. Y, who was usually calm, stood along with his members and gazed at Hana with sparkling eyes.
He definitely wasn't lying when he said she was her ideal type. June, on the other hand, settled with polite clapping. As his gaze strayed to the participants, one person's gaze focused on him, a small smile appearing on her lips as she took in his new appearance. 'Blonde hair suits him a lot,' Hana thought.
She was lost in her thoughts, so she didn't hear Wonbin calling her name. "Miss Hana?" Wonbin repeated. Hana snapped out of her thoughts and shyly stood. "Sorry. I'm a bit out of it.
I've been reading a script since the early morning," she apologized. "Don't apologize!" "It's alright!" "You're cute!" Praises were heard in the room, causing Minho and Seobin to turn to each other and shake their heads. "Since my colleagues have already said what I wanted to say, I guess I'll advise you to have fun on this mission. It may be out of your comfort zone, but it's also a skill that you could use in the future," she smiled. With that, she sat back down, leaving the participants wondering what the kind of mission they were going to undertake. "I'm sure all of you are dying to find out what this pre-mission is," Wonbin smirked, and the participants exclaimed in agreement. "Minho and Seobin will introduce the pre-mission," he said. "Afterward, I'm going to explain the benefit that CHAOS had earned from topping the last mission." "Gentlemen," Wonbin turned to Seobin and Minho.
Minho nodded and glanced at his cue card. "Idols nowadays are not mere performers," he started off. "Singing, dancing, rapping—idols these days have these skills, making them stand out in the industry. Truly, this generation has birthed 'multi-talented' idols," Minho started off. "However, what if you aim to be multi-industrial?" Seobin asked. "What if you become multi-talented not only in the idol industry but also in other industries?" Minho smirked. "The acting industry, perhaps?" Seobin nodded in agreement. "More and more idols are venturing out in the acting industry, and while some have been poorly received, there are also some stand-out artists like Do Sookyung from XO, Woonryo from SPF9, Cha Bunwoo from ASTROBOY, and the beautiful soloist UI." June pursed his lips. It seemed like he was actually going to use his new skill. "This is why we have created this pre-mission for you," Minho smiled. "This is the Idol Acting mission!"
