YM778.TV Chapter 97 - Costumes And Photo Shoot?
Joon-won was now standing in front of the drama house the next day. He had to come in for the costumes and see if they were fitting perfectly for him or not. After the practice session with Kar Jung, he went back home and took some rest. After three days of practice, he wanted some rest and so he laid back on the couch and watched some movies on TV. He talked with Jung-hwa a little and asked how her progress was and she seemed to be happy with how things were going on her side.
After a much-needed relaxing evening, he went to bed early and woke up early. The gym session went great. His body didn\'t pain as much as it did the last 2 days and he felt happy that it\'s finally getting adjusted to the training sessions.
He went to work and Gah Soo talked about the drama. She told him she bought the tickets and was planning to come to watch it with a few friends. He told her that he could have brought a few free tickets which were generally given for family members but in his case; he didn\'t have any in the city, so they would go to waste. He then remembered that Jung-hwa looked interested in the drama and decided to ask her if she wanted any, to which he got an immediate response, saying she was down for it.
So he decided to take the tickets tomorrow when they distribute them. Joon-won checked the time, noticed it was already 2, and walked in. They called them at 1 but he couldn\'t make it that quickly because of the shift at the supermarket. Entering the drama house, he went straight towards the costume room. As he entered the hallway, he could see people with clothes in their hands going through doors. Some were already in their costumes, checking them out.
Most of them had suits as their costume as most of the setting was in an office. Joon-won walked into the costume room to see the people there as busy as ever fixing people\'s dresses. Pak Shin notices Joon-won by the door and says while pointing at the rack in the room, "Joon-won, your clothes are there. All of them are in that bag. Go try them out and see if they fit." Joon-won nodded and took the huge plastic bag from the rack before making his way out of the room.
He went into the men\'s changing room and saw most of the people were talking to each other while changing their clothes. He noticed Kar Jung also talking to a few youngsters with a smile on his face and just walked to a corner to change.
He took out all the clothes from inside the bag and saw there were two suits and one casual wear. He knew the casual wear was only needed in the park scene, whereas the rest of his scenes were in a suit.
He took off the shirt and slowly wore the casual wear first. It was a simple plain white T-shirt and a pair of pants. Both of them fit him perfectly as he tried to move around and sit. After feeling no discomfort, he took them off and got to the suit. He didn\'t know how to wear one, so he took out the best device created by man-kind, his phone, and looked it up.
The video that came up was so helpful he left a like and stood up. Placing both the suits on the bench and started wearing them. As soon as he wore the jacket, he could feel it was too big for his skinny body and knew he had to ask Pak Shin to make a few changes to it. Even the trouser was a bit too big for him as his foot landed on the cloth a few times. The suit was a simple one with a white inner shirt, a black jacket, and trousers, while the other one was blue instead of black.
He checked the other suit, and this one was perfect for him. So he folded it and kept it back in the bag with the other costume. He took the trousers and jacket with him before walking out. He could only ask Pak Shin for help on this one, as he did not know how to change the size of a jacket.
There was a small line, and after a while, he was in front of Pak Shin. He handed both of them over and said, "The Jacket is a bit too big for my size and the trouser is a few centimeters longer." Pak Shin nodded and got to fixing them based on the measurements they had of him.
After a few minutes, he handed both of them back to Joon-won and said, "Well, here you go. Once check them again and see if they are alright. If they aren\'t, come back wearing them so I can see where it is." Joon-won nodded and went back to the changing room.
When he came to his spot, he noticed Kar Jung sitting beside his plastic bag. Kar Jung gave him a nod and asked, "How are the costumes? I see you went for a fix. Are they alright now?" Joon-won nodded and changed into the black suit.
Kar Jung looked at him and commented, "Boy, you really look better in a suit than all those wacky clothes you have. You should go out sometime and buy better clothes in the future. Give me your phone once, I\'ll take a picture."
Joon-won thought for a second before handing the old man his phone. It was the first time he wore a suit and taking a picture could serve as a memory. He decided to send the picture to Min-Seok later. Kar Jung gave him the phone back, and Joon-won checked it out. He noticed it would be better if he were a bit bulkier instead of the skinny body he had.
He took off the clothes and Kar Jung said, "Right. Now we have to go out for a photoshoot. So do not go running home." Joon-won nodded and knew this was also a part of the process in Roses Drama house. Most of the drama houses do not have these photoshoots for the banners, but Roses being a huge establishment and San Min being very proper with even small things like that were needed for the main characters to have pictures taken.
Joon-won nodded and sat down beside the old man, as he had nothing to do. He looked at Kar Jung and asked, "Are the extra stuff like photo shoots and advertisements needed for an establishment like Roses? I mean the fame it has is enough right."
Kar Jung nodded and said, "Well, San Min is very particular about things. She even set up a small company for photoshoots every week. It would take a lot of money normally but with this, she saves some money and that company also makes money from outside deals. Also, things like advertisements were what made our drama house unique and well known. When San Min started the drama house, no other drama houses did these kinds of stuff and so she started it. Because of these minor details itself that made our drama house famous and attractive. And this photoshoot doesn\'t take much time, hardly 30 minutes, that\'s all. We aren\'t making a movie for it to be a few days."
Joon-won shrugged and remained silent. After a while, the assistant came in and called out for him, Kar Jung, and Dokgo Ki. When they went out, the girl who played the female lead was already out, waiting for them with a bag in her hand.
"Alright then, do you guys have your costumes with you? Let\'s go then." After everyone nodded for her first question. The photoshoot company was only down the road and so it didn\'t take them long before they reached a huge building.
Joon-won looked at the building and saw that there were many companies inside the one building. He saw that the Roses Photography on one of the floors and followed the assistant inside.
The five went right into the elevator. After a while, the group was in front of the company. The company was only 2 floors in the huge building. As soon as they entered, the manager of the place came towards them.
"Oh, Miss assistant. You guys are here. I was waiting. Oh! It looks like there is a new face in the group this time." He noticed Joon-won and commented.
The assistant nodded and said, "Yes, you know the drill. Let\'s get this done quickly so all of us can go back to work."
The manager nodded and replied, "Of course I do. I have been doing this for too many years to not know. Alright, let\'s go guys, change into your costumes in those rooms." While leading them to the other side of the floor and asked the four of them while pointing at two doors.
