The hottest rising star of the year, Ju Seoyeon, had arrived.@@@@

    Naturally, the entire audition room buzzed with whispers and murmurs.

    Who wouldn’t be surprised?

    This was just an audition for a movie by Jo Bangwoo—a director whose glory days had ended a decade ago.

    It was odd enough that top-tier stars like Hwang Minhwa and Ju Seoyeon were showing up.

    “What the hell’s going on?”

    “I heard Park Jungwoo was cast, but does that alone explain why Hwang Minhwa and Ju Seoyeon are here? Something’s off.”

    “Was the script really that good? I mean, it was fun, but isn’t it just an action flick? Honestly, it felt kind of ridiculous...”

    The actresses in the room alternated their stares between Seoyeon, who had just entered, and Minhwa, seated confidently with her legs crossed.

    Their eyes eventually met.

    Her career had never seen a box-office performance below five million viewers.

    Except for one.

    “Jo Bangwoo’s movie.”

    It had barely scraped 1.5 million viewers before disappearing from theaters.

    Hwang Minhwa erased it from her career, as if it had never existed.

    She could afford to because she hadn’t played the lead.

    ‘Still, it’s strange that she’s here.’

    From what Seoyeon remembered, Minhwa had originally been slated as the lead actress.
