Chapter 69: MV Female Lead - Kim Yoo-jin

The next day, the weather was particularly good, with bright sunshine in the winter. After several days of overcast weather, the clouds had cleared, as if lifting the heavy burdens from everyone's hearts.

Lee Yunjae got up early. Today was his first day of filming, and he felt a mix of nervousness, anxiety, and eagerness. A black Hyundai minivan was already waiting for him downstairs. LOEN Entertainment had plenty of minivans, but not many artists to use them. Now, as LOEN's main focus, it was no big deal to assign one to Lee Yunjae; it just required a nod from Bae Song-in.

"Brother Lee, where are we going to shoot today?" Lee Yunjae asked the driver curiously.

"To the Olympic Park area! I heard that the location described in the MV script you wrote is hard to find, but fortunately, there are many traditional Korean-style houses near the Olympic Park that we can rent."

Lee Yunjae nodded and then fell silent, his eyes fixed on the window, with an excitement that was hard to hide. Shooting an MV was still a novel experience for him. Although he had studied acting before, it was not for long, and he had not achieved much in that field. Acting was still a difficult challenge for him. At this moment, Lee Yunjae regretted not taking a few acting classes when he was at S.M., which led to his "lopsided" development.

The car soon arrived near the Olympic Park. From a distance, Lee Yunjae saw a crowd gathered, with some staff members adjusting the shooting equipment. He could vaguely see the silhouette of today's female lead and the second male lead.

"Brother Lee, are we late? Why are there so many people already here?" Lee Yunjae asked nervously, fearing that he might leave a bad impression on the director on his first day. Although the director was hired by LOEN, he didn't want to give a bad impression to anyone. In the entertainment industry, a bad reputation could spread faster than anyone could imagine.

"No... the scheduled shooting time is 9:00 AM, and it's only 8:35 AM now. They might have come early!" Brother Lee checked the time and said confidently.

Phew... Lee Yunjae let out a long sigh of relief.

The minivan approached, and the waiting LOEN staff waved to it. They then signaled the makeup artists, costume designers, and hairstylists who were already on standby to prepare. The atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed, and the female lead and the second male lead, who were standing in the crowd, noticed and turned their attention to the car.

This was the first time Lee Yunjae felt like a star, and he was a bit overwhelmed. After getting out of the car, the staff led him to meet the director of the day.

From a distance, Lee Yunjae saw a director-like figure talking to the staff. Under the guidance of the staff, he smoothly approached the director.

"Director Kim, this is our new artist, Lee Yunjae!"

"Hello, Director Kim, I'm Lee Yunjae. Please take care of me!" Lee Yunjae bowed slightly. After all, this director would be in charge of four MVs, and it would be beneficial to build a good relationship with him for future collaborations. In this industry, connections were very important.

"Oh... so you're Lee Yunjae... I read the MV script you wrote, and it's quite good. It seems you have a talent for screenwriting!" Director Kim laughed, and the staff around him looked over.

Lee Yunjae humbly replied, "Not at all... there are still many parts that need to be revised by professionals like you. I'm not a screenwriter; I just write songs!"

"Ha... good... it's good for young people to be humble!" Director Kim patted Lee Yunjae's shoulder in satisfaction and then began his preparations after a few more words.

At this moment, a man and a woman approached Lee Yunjae, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello, senior, please take care of us today!"

Uh... Lee Yunjae was initially taken aback, but the staff quickly introduced them, "These are the female lead, Kim Yoo-jin, and the second male lead, Nichkhun."

Lee Yunjae responded, "Don't call me senior; it makes me feel old. Let's be more casual. I was born in February 1988, so you should be around my age. Let's use informal language!"

Lee Yunjae took a closer look at the female lead, Kim Yoo-jin. She had a light makeup, long black hair, and a tall figure, about 170 cm. Her aura was completely different from Park Soo-yeon's. Park Soo-yeon was the type of woman who made you want to protect her, but Kim Yoo-jin exuded a sexy charm that made you want to conquer her.

Turning to Nichkhun, Lee Yunjae could only admit that he was no match for him. He felt a bit envious, thinking, "Who chose the second male lead? He's even more handsome than the lead. What's going on? Is he the main character or am I?"

While Lee Yunjae was observing them, Kim Yoo-jin and Nichkhun were also observing him.

Kim Yoo-jin had only applied for the role out of curiosity, never expecting to be chosen as the female lead by LOEN.

Being the female lead was something she had never dared to dream of. Although she had been part of a group called "Five Girls," it quickly faded into obscurity. She then joined Pledis and became a regular trainee, unsure when she would make it big. A few days ago, she saw that LOEN was looking for an MV female lead. Although she didn't know what kind of MV it was, she applied without hesitation, trusting LOEN.

After submitting her resume, she didn't hear back for several days and had given up hope. But two days ago, she received a call from LOEN, inviting her for an interview. The interview staff liked her, and she was chosen as the female lead. Of course, her affordable shooting fee was also a factor.

He had a medium to good-looking face but a warm smile, making him a warm and friendly man! This was Kim Yoo-jin's first impression of Lee Yunjae.

At this moment, Nichkhun spoke, "I'm also from 1988, but I was born in June, so I'm younger. I'll call you 'brother'! Brother, have we met before? You look familiar!"

Lee Yunjae shook his head, "No... if I had met you, I would remember. Your appearance is so handsome that it makes men jealous. If I had met you, I would definitely remember!"

Nichkhun smiled shyly and suddenly patted his head, "I remember... a while ago, a video was uploaded by an ID called 'Yunjae in the Wind' on Straw Hat Net. I saw you in that video... yes, it must be you..."

Oh... Lee Yunjae nodded, thinking to himself, "So I'm already that famous online. Quite a few people have seen my videos."

"That song 'Elimination' was sung by you? So you're a trainee at LOEN?" Kim Yoo-jin asked in surprise, feeling that the person in front of her looked familiar. After Nichkhun's reminder, she remembered seeing him in that video.

"Yes... 'Elimination' is also included in this mini-album, but I uploaded it before signing with LOEN," Lee Yunjae explained honestly.

"Wow... so you really were the former leader of TVXQ? That's what they say online!" Kim Yoo-jin asked excitedly.

Lee Yunjae smiled bitterly, feeling that he was benefiting from TVXQ's reputation, but he didn't want that kind of attention.

"The rumors online are a bit exaggerated. I'm not that good; Yunho, Junsu, and Yoochun are much better than me... I just joined the company a few years earlier," Lee Yunjae said calmly.

"Senior, I'm your fan! I've been following that song 'Spell' for a long time!" Kim Yoo-jin held Lee Yunjae's arm, looking excited.

Lee Yunjae felt a bit awkward. Being held by a beautiful and sexy woman and being admired was certainly an honor. However, with so many people around, he felt a bit uncomfortable. After all, this was their first meeting, and he was not used to such close contact. Apart from Park Soo-yeon, he had only had intimate interactions with Jessica and YoonA, taking some close photos with them.

"Ha ha..." Kim Yoo-jin seemed to notice Lee Yunjae's discomfort and reluctantly let go of his arm.

"Let's be friends... Yoo-jin, I hope you don't mind me calling you that. Let's work well together today, and Nichkhun, the shooting schedule is tight, so please help me out!"

Kim Yoo-jin and Nichkhun nodded vigorously, both feeling fortunate to be friends with Lee Yunjae. They were just ordinary trainees in their companies. Nichkhun was in a better position at JYP, being specially recruited and likely to receive attention from JYP.

However, compared to Lee Yunjae, they both felt a bit powerless. Lee Yunjae was a "trainee" with over 200,000 fans before debuting, a level of popularity they could hardly imagine.
