I’ve Become a Genius Actor - Chapter 36:
Chapter 36:
Wow impressive.’
Harang couldn’t believe that JellyJelly’s signature dance was being performed by Han Yooil. Trying to hold back his laughter, he bit his lip. It seemed the production team had put a lot of thought into teasing Han Yooil.
The B-grade concept girl group’s music provided the background for the reserved rookie actor flusteredly shaking his body and shyly sending a heart at the end’ even this clip alone was enough for a teaser.
How’s he going to handle this?’
Harang watched Han Yooil, who seemed frozen as the music played.
At that moment, Harang saw Yooil’s expression change. Closing his eyes and taking a short breath, he suddenly started to get into position.
What?’
Harang couldn’t believe his eyes.
Indeed, Han Yooil took the signature pose of <You’re the BestYOU> and began to move.
[You’re the best, the best, the best, the best YOU YOU YOU!]
Yooil recreated the cute dance moves of shooting a finger gun into the air.
“”
[You’re mine, mine, mine, mine YOU YOU YOU!]
As he flawlessly executed the dance, including the move of shaking his body with hands on his chest, even the staff behind the camera cheered.
“Wow!”
Harang was genuinely impressed. Yooil’s dance felt quite professional, despite his seemingly detached expression.
The unexpected success of Yooil turned the set ablaze in an instant.
“Wooow!”
“Hahaha! Yooil dances so well!”
“That’s charming!”
As if nothing had happened, Han Yooil calmly bowed and returned to his place.
If it weren’t for his reddened ears, one might believe he was truly unaffected.
“Good job, hyung.”
Yooil looked at Harang, who whispered to him while showing a thumbs-up.
“”
Receiving such a compliment from someone who actually danced well didn’t sit right with him.
For someone who’s just been introduced to dancing, you performed above average.
“”
Han Yooil simply hoped the editing wouldn’t turn out too bizarre.

[@jinnnny I can’t believe I’m waiting for a live broadcast of Roll it Fun!]
Lee Hyejin, with a face full of excitement, stared at the television.
Roll it Fun!
She looked at the title of the variety show written in bubbly letters.
It’s been a while since I watched this.’
If it weren’t for Han Yooil’s appearance, she wouldn’t have bothered to watch it live.
Lee Hyejin remembered the <Roll it Fun!> trailer she saw a few days ago.
She knew that Han Yooil and the <Sing in High School> cast would be appearing thanks to an article that surfaced a few days ago. But she was shocked the moment she saw the trailer.
[You’re the best, the best, the best, the best YOU YOU YOU!]
“Yeeek?!”
An odd sound escaped Hyejin’s mouth the moment she saw the video.
JellyJelly’s groundbreaking debut song, <You’re the BestYOU>, was still occasionally mentioned in communities.
In the video, Han Yooil was performing JellyJelly’s dance moves with a resigned face.
But despite his expression, his body was full of energy.
The video ended with a refreshing finishing move and a white caption popping up.
Lee Hyejin embraced the snack bag with a happy face.
“It feels like a vlog.”
Originally, “RollFun” was a program about competing to be the first to reach the finish line. Naturally, it resembled a chase, but Han Yooil seemed uninterested in the competition. His uniquely relaxed and leisurely atmosphere felt not so much boring as it was peculiarly intriguing.
Then, behind the screen capturing Yooil, a small dot grew increasingly larger.
It was Ji Eunho, sprinting at full speed on a pink kick scooter that barely reached his thighs.
Huh?
Han Yooil’s eyes widened. He turned around and smiled softly.
But Lee Hyejin saw it.
She saw his eyes slightly sparkle.
I should put in some effort too.
With those words, Han Yooil suddenly started pedaling at an astonishing speed.
Even the cameraman, carrying the camera beside him, was taken aback by the speed.
The screen showed Ji Eunho, sweating profusely with a serious face, gripping the handle of the pink kick scooter, and Han Yooil, leisurely pedaling beside him.
Their subtle rivalry, neither too much nor too little, made Hyejin burst into laughter, momentarily forgetting the stress of her assignments.
Harang and Hyena, who were leading at the beginning, got walking’ in the second mini-game, significantly changing the flow of the game. The original members proposing shady deals to the guests were also amusingly edited, leaving no room for boredom.
In the middle of it all, Ji Eunho, who landed on a shortcut tile,’ overtook all the participants by running and took the lead, but not for long.
Wow, is that Yooil?
He’s insane!
Following Ji Eunho, Han Yooil, who got a child’s kick scooter, caught up with him at an incredible speed.
The cast, trapped in buses and taxis during rush hour, watched their race with excited screams.
Lee Hyejin looked at the live chat.
Han Yooil is quite the comedian lol
What, did Ji Eunho’s agency tell him to win at all costs?
Why does it fit so well when they only add burning CG when they appear lol
I just watched Sing in High School’, what’s with this gap lol
Wow, is that Seon Gihyeon? Can’t recognize him
Never seen participants in RollFun’ run so passionately with a princess kick scooter before
Lee Hyejin looked at the chat with a satisfied face. Everyone was falling for Han Yooil’s charm!
She smiled proudly as she watched her follower count increase in real time.

Meanwhile, at the same time.
Han Yooil turned his gaze away from the television with a baffled expression. He felt embarrassed at times and wanted to change the channel, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it, knowing how much Jin Hayoung enjoyed it.
“People seem to like it more than I expected.”
That’s right. As anticipated, the majority of responses are positive. The viewership of the previous episode of Sing in High School’ also increased by 180%, and the viewership of the next episode is expected to rise as well.
“RollFun” was approaching its end.
As Han Yooil and Ji Eunho were keeping each other in check while running, Byul found the last shortcut and rushed to the finish line on inline skates.
“She mentioned she used to play inline hockey when she was young.”
The sight of her, wearing a helmet and speeding in a low posture, was quite impressive. Her serious expression, so different from her usual cheerful demeanor, felt unfamiliar.
The production team seemed to think the same, showcasing Byul crossing the finish line from various angles.
As the background music from a famous sports movie played, she almost looked like an athlete about to compete in the Olympics.
“Oh my, that kid is really good~”
Jin Hayoung, sitting next to Yooil, also exclaimed in admiration.
Today’s MVP, Byul!
With Byul removing her helmet and performing a ceremony with her group’s dance, “Roll it Fun!” came to an end.

[This Week’s Hot Video] Han Yooil’s refreshing You’re the Best YOU’, Roll it Fun!’ trailer sparks buzz
Han Yooil skimmed through the articles Brion showed.
That’s a relief.’
The filming of Sing in High School’ was nearing its end.
“Please come for the music recording when you’re available next week.”
The assistant director added that all the soundtracks would be released along with the final episode of Sing in High School.’
Yooil, feeling closer to the cast of Sing in High School after the variety show appearance, exchanged greetings and left the set.
Manager Min Woojin: Yooil, I’m in the underground parking lot!! Come down to the 2nd basement floor elevator, you’ll see me right away.
Manager Min Woojin: And I have good news!!!
After leaving the most secluded restroom in the building (the one Harang had told him about), Yooil checked Min Woojin’s message.
Then, his phone rang again.
Manager Min Woojin: Got a call from Director Gu Chanik!!!
Director Gu Chanik?’
Director Gu Chanik.
An indispensable name in the Korean film industry. He had been invited to the Cannes Film Festival and was a regular at the Berlin Film Festival whenever he released a film.
Feeling excited, Yooil put his phone in his pocket and was walking down the corridor when a clear voice echoed through it.
“Are you out of your mind?!”
“Jisoo, please, keep it down”
“No, hyung. This is about using unknown rookies to cut my fee, isn’t it? Isn’t it?”
A pleading man’s voice mingled with another that sounded quite angry.
Yooil, intending to pass by without interfering, halted at the next words.
“It’s not just any director, it’s Director Gu Chanik He’s not the kind ”
“So what, Han Yooil? What’s he to the director, his hidden child or something?”
“Please! Jisoo! It’s not just us here. Let’s move somewhere else and”
“F**k! Aren’t you my manager?! Whose side are you on, right now?”
Yooil’s steps stopped.
Aren’t you going down?
I was planning to just leave but’
A slight smile formed at the corner of his mouth.
I’m intrigued.’
I should see who they are.
