Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 362 Jisoo, why do you want to be an actress?
"Jisoo unnie, you've officially entered the film and television industry, haven't you?"

Park Chaeyoung looked at Kim Jisoo, who was all dressed up and ready to leave.

She wasn't particularly envious, after all, as the lead singer of the group, Rose's future path was destined to be in music, and she had no chance to act.

Moreover, as a native New Zealander, Park Chae-young doesn't feel any sense of belonging to South Korea.

The film and television industry is different from the music industry; it has a stronger regional character, which she couldn't adapt to.

"I was just attending a preview screening." Kim Jisoo didn't take her younger sister's sentiments seriously. Park Chaeyoung liked to make a big deal out of small things, especially when it came to Mingyan.

This younger sister firmly believes that she and that guy are boyfriend and girlfriend.

Park Chaeyoung rested her chin on her hand: "Jisoo unnie, I checked online, the screening was attended by big shots from Chungmuro."

"That has nothing to do with me. I just want to see the movie he's in."

"That's right, oppa will arrange everything."

What Rose finds most appealing about this couple, besides their childhood friendship, is their unknowing love for each other.

Whether it's Mingyan thinking of Kim Jisoo in everything he does, or Kim Jisoo's deep-rooted trust and dependence on Mingyan, it all makes Park Chaeyoung swoon.

If they don't end up together, the girl might as well give up on love altogether.

You two should just get together quickly, for my sake!

"Indeed." Kim Jisoo readily admitted her younger sister's words.

If that guy hadn't been one of the main actors, she would definitely have been a little worried, since it was her first time participating in a similar event.

Because she had a schedule today, the other members of BLACKPINK could rest, so only Rosé witnessed the whole thing when Jisoo went out; the other two were still sleeping.

"Jisoo, make sure you get a lot of business cards. This is a very valuable opportunity."

The agent gave instructions in the car.

When Mingyan's invitation reached YG, they agreed almost without hesitation. In this industry, nothing is more important than connections.

Jisoo's role in the group was to develop into an actress, so she couldn't miss such a good opportunity.

The girl nodded lazily: "Oh."

She knew her agent was doing it for her own good.

However... with that guy around, he'll just tell you what to do and you'll be fine with it; you won't need to think at all.

The manager first took Kim Jisoo to a beauty salon. The preview screening will also have a red carpet event, and many media outlets will be present. There will also be related press releases afterward, so it can't be taken lightly.

……

"Xiao Yan, you look very handsome today."

Jo In-sung chuckled and playfully punched Ming-yeon in the chest.

"After all, it's my first movie." Compared to Kim Ji-soo's composure, Ming-yeon was a little nervous, since he didn't know how the media and film critics present would rate his acting skills.

The media and film critics all have their own stances and biases; who knows what angle they will comment from?

Only at times like this did Jo In-sung realize that the youngest member in front of him was a young man: "Don't worry, Director Han Jae-rim speaks highly of you, and his judgment is never wrong."

"I hope so."

Mingyan was only slightly worried, and then started checking the time to calculate when Kim Jisoo and Kim Jiwon would arrive.

He also wanted to introduce that guy to the big shots present.

The area outside the screening venue was already packed with fans who had gotten advance notice.

These people are truly resourceful, always managing to find out the latest whereabouts of their favorite celebrities, but this is basically all related to "insiders" within various entertainment companies.

Mingyan was already bombarded with flashing lights when he came in, and Kim Jisoo and Kim Jiwon will have to go through the same process when they arrive.

He was exchanging pleasantries with some invited socialites when another huge cheer erupted outside.

“Jisoo, Jisoo…” Mingyan didn’t even need to listen carefully to know that Kim Jisoo had arrived.

It has to be said that idols do have an advantage over actors in terms of popularity, and many idols who switch to acting can sweep popularity awards at various awards ceremonies.

The girl's demeanor was very dignified. From her slightly stiff movements, it was clear that Kim Jisoo was not as calm as she had said before. However, after seeing Mingyan's figure, her steps in high heels immediately became lighter.

"You have more fans than everyone in our crew," Mingyan teased his friend with a smile.

"That can't be right." Kim Jisoo still had a professional smile on her face: "I saw a lot of people in the crowd holding up banners that said you and Jiwon unnie were a couple."

"When did your eyesight become so good?"

"It has always worked perfectly."

Idols undergo special training before their debut, such as not blinking when facing flashing lights. I've never heard of it improving eyesight.

Kim Jisoo loves playing games and spends all her time on her phone or computer, which has made her nearsighted.

The two chatted casually for a few minutes, and the volume of the fans outside indicated that another new person had arrived.

Kim Ji-won.

After entering the room, the girl looked around first, and then walked over with a smile after spotting Mingyan.

Now is the best time to socialize, before the movie officially starts.

As one of the main creators, Mingyan said that after the screening, he would join the group to accept interviews from the media and interact with the audience, and then leave after that.

"Jisoo, hello there." Kim Ji-won ignored someone and directly and enthusiastically grabbed Kim Ji-soo's hand.

"Hello, Ji-won unnie."

"You'll come with me in a bit, the two of us will go together."

Kim Ji-won seems to have remembered Ming-yeon's instructions very well, and has almost forgotten about someone.

Kim Ji-soo subconsciously looked at Ming-yeon, and only after seeing him nod did she feel relieved.

The man led the two girls around and greeted them, starting with Han Zailin. It was mostly polite small talk, but even just getting to know them was helpful.

When introducing Kim Ji-soo, he said, "This is my little sister whom I grew up with," while Kim Ji-won was described as "a very good friend."

Kim Ji-soo was confused, while Kim Ji-won saw through many things.

To put it bluntly, she and Kim Ji-soo were introduced to each other by Ming-yeon, and the other party's attitude proved his importance. Then, starting with Han Jae-rim, the main creators of the "King" crew treated her very well.

Han Jae-rim even said that he would like to cooperate with Han Jae-rim in the future if there is an opportunity.

This isn't just polite talk; not just anyone can be associated with a big director. Didn't you see how the other guests were practically spitting fire in their eyes?

Kim Ji-won looked at Kim Ji-soo, who was still confused, and couldn't help but feel envious.

If I had someone mentoring me like that back then, I probably would have landed a lead role before "Fight for My Way".

"Jisoo, do you want to pursue acting in the future?" After getting to know a bunch of people, Kim Ji-won pulled Kim Ji-soo aside and started whispering to her.

Kim Jisoo thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, I guess so."

"Should it be?"

Having been a trainee for three years, Kim Ji-won naturally knows that everyone in an idol group has their own role, which is determined early on.

Otherwise, the company would not be able to promote the individual development of its members while the group's popularity is still high.

"correct."

Why do you want to act?

"Because he is an actor, I think acting should suit me quite well too."
