Translator Note:

This is one of my favorite Korean novels, at first, I was reluctant to upload it because I saw that there was already a site that uploaded the MTL. But I liked this novel so much that I wanted to upload it (even though someone had already uploaded the MTL).

I apologize if you, who uploaded the MTL felt offended by my actions. I translated this novel myself (not copy-pasted from your MTL). Although I also used MTL's help in translating this novel because I'm not fluent in Korean and English.

However, if you still have objections to my actions, you can leave a comment on the blog or contact me at reireiss.dollars@gmail.com

Thank You!

Chapter 1 – The Genius Child Who Disappeared

There was a movie that made Director Lee Young-chang, sweep the Film Festival Awards and join the rank of masters once he released that movie. The movie is titled <Children>.

The main character is a child suffering from cerebral palsy, and this film is a work that tells about the world he saw with fairy-tale-like colors and directing.

It's not just about the directing, but it also has a bit of humor and popularity with a popular supporting cast, as well as touching on social issues in Korea.

The number of Korean viewers is 6 million. It became famous because it was an unusual box office hit for an art film and also a global box office hit.

Yoon Jae-hee, the main character of <Children>, doesn't have cerebral palsy.

Director Lee Young-chang says, "Yoon Jae-hee will be a genius actor, and will succeed in the future."

Not only that, he was also known for discovering a new child actor named Yoon Jae-hee.

"He does not really have cerebral palsy?"

"There's a video that the Director sent me."

The Film Festival judges focused on the screen. Yoon Jae-hee, who showed no different behavior from other peers, became a cerebral palsy patient who lost his motor skills immediately after the shot went in.

His behavior, pronunciation, and atmosphere changed significantly from that of a veteran actor.

"......Huh, how old is he?"

"He is ten years old this year."

The child actor, who is only eleven years old in Korean age, has made a name for himself in the world beyond Korea.

"I thought the Director did a good job directing......"

"A ten-year-old can give such a realistic performance?"

"I heard from the Director that he learns everything from one observation."

"It's not like he's just copying, he's putting his style into it......"

A young child of just 11 years old showed a brilliant performance and gained fame.

"The Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival is...... Yoon Jae-hee from <Children>!"

South Korea went into a frenzy when he became the youngest newcomer to win an award at one of the world's three major film festivals and the youngest to win the Best Actor.

 

Yoon Jae-hee from <Children> becomes the world's youngest Best Actor winner

Yoon Jae-hee is the next big thing in Korean cinema

Yoon Jae-hee became the youngest newcomer at three major film festivals and the youngest best actor for his debut film

What's next for 'Genius Child' Yoon Jae-hee? Chungmuro's Master Directors ruffles in

T/N: Chungmuro is a place/street that is known as the street of culture, artists, and the film industry *cmiiw.

 

With his debut film, he swept the World Film Festival. What will be the next work of this genius child known throughout the world? It was a matter of interest to all industries.

"What is Yoon Jae-hee doing these days?"

"He was cast in a drama and then replaced by another child actor."

"Really? They say he's a genius, but he's no big deal......"

However, Yoon Jae-hee hasn't had a next project after <Children>. It is said that he appeared on several sets, but he was quickly replaced by another child actor.

"Honestly, if my debut movie had that kind of grade, I would be under a lot of pressure, too."

"He left too suddenly."

There was a lot of talk about Yoon Jae-hee, who was underperforming. It's because Director Lee Young-chang is so good at directing. It's good editing, and Yoon Jae-hee's acting was nothing special. It was just luck.

"I heard he has camera phobia."

"His parents got divorced."

"This is why child actors need to be well managed......"

"So, what does he do now, just go to school?"

"I don't know."

Yoon Jae-hee, a genius child actor and a huge rookie who had been rumored, disappeared.
