confession.

siwoo has been acting weird, lately.

then again, jay is used to weird—in fact, if @besiwoo isn't acting like the bastard he knows his friend to be, then he'd find it stranger. but the odd behaviour siwoo has been displaying isn't within that realm of unhinged asshole jay has known siwoo for. he doesn't even know how to explain it. siwoo doesn't either, obviously, otherwise they wouldn't have one of their rare and intense arguments just the other day; where nothing was truly resolved. but they're on better terms again. at least, jay believes so.

besides, it's probably jay's fault they're in this situation ( that he blurred the lines in between their already boundless friendship; consequences be damned ). he doesn't know, he doesn't get it—he won't, for a while. but, it's usually jay's fault.

jay doesn't think about it too much, really. he doesn't have the time to in the first place, having to assimilate to his new schedule and routine. and suddenly, they have this acting camp to worry about. jay doesn't know the first thing about acting, never thought he'd really need it as a skill. but it'd probably do him some good, stage direction wise. it's grating though, having to memorize a script, even if it's just a few scenes—his brain isn't built for all this memorization without music or rhythm to accompany the lines he's supposed to be mouthing. is he going to complain on his first week here though? no. ideally, he'd start off his year behaving.

he reads through the script once more, eyebrows furrowed, lines forming between them. he has his pen pressed against his lips, forming a sort of artificial pout, trying to badger the lines into his head. "ugh, this is a lot." maybe he's being dramatic, it's not like he's acting out an entire episode—but it's like chalk on board to him, the only saving grace being that he's doing this with siwoo. and, well, the scene is kind of interesting. mostly corny, though.

"this is really cheesy," jay comments, not budging from his position on the floor. "have you watched this show? i don't know the context of anything." he rarely watches anything romantic, and he'd never experienced a confession of his own—so it's funny, ironic even, that he somehow ended up holding this script out of all of them. "should we just try it?" he asks siwoo, peeking at the other through the sheets of paper in his hands.

"it starts with you." but siwoo probably already knew that, since he's holding the same script. should he... act distracted? jay is supposed to be startled, according to his lines. well, that's easy. that's one of his default states, after all. he skims through the script one more time for good measure, only to snort as he reads siwoo's assigned lines. "actually, this guy kinda sounds like you." he lets out a short laugh. "would this be how you confess to someone? you have a lot more experience than me on this."

he hums, his pen digging into his bottom lip. "he's saying asshole, asshole, asshole a lot. he really sounds like you. i didn't realize that was allowed on tv!"

— WELCOME TO SR MEDIA'S FIRST BOOTCAMP: ACTING !

following the success of studio delta’s songwriting camp, sr media’s ceo seo ran has sent out official instructions for an acting camp available to all trainees signed under axis labels!

the emails flooded in on the morning of wednesday, may 29, and the camp will take place from june 1st to june 15th at the axis labels facility in the seocho district. during this time, participants will have the opportunity to exchange their regular afternoon classes for an immersive experience hosted by sr media’s in-house staff members as well as outside professionals. this includes acting coaches, directors, producers, camera operators, stylists, sound editors, lighting designers, and more. although the focus of the training camp is to expand on trainees’ acting skills, it is important to understand all the different jobs behind the cameras that help bring these stories to life.

at the end of the two week period, over the course of the last two days of the camp, every trainee is required to partner up with one or more people to present at least one scene from an official list to a panel of coaches from all companies (found below the cut). foreign trainees who are still struggling with the korean language will also be required to take a special workshop focused on improving their knowledge and pronunciation.

the activities during the bootcamp include, but are not limited to:

a workshop on the impact of acting lessons on your stage presence, held by the creative directors behind the groups hiraeth and a.maze

a lecture by nina’s taehyun on how to prove yourself as an actor even with an idol background

a lesson about fashion trends originated in popular dramas

individual and group workshops on how to adapt books and webtoons into scripts

smaller lessons in groups for anyone willing to dive deeper into light and camera work

and of course, several acting lessons covering a wide variety of genres, mostly drawing from big budget movies

and as a special surprise to our hardworking trainees, nina’s taehyun will also be present during the final presentations to give feedback to the trainees! this information won’t be disclosed until june 14, the first day of performances.

at the very end of the camp, on june 15, a small get-together will be held in sr media’s main auditorium, so trainees and staff members alike can network and celebrate the end of such an impactful event. snacks included!

twirling the pen in her hand, jueun was lowkey pretty excited for this lecture. while she was never a fan of listening to lectures back in school, this would be led by the one and only nina's taehyun. jueun wasn't big on idols, but even she knew who taehyun was.

"i don't think i ever imagined myself as an actress, but i think it could be fun," she mentioned before turning over to look at stevie. upon finishing next gen, the new trainees were thrown into this acting workshop, but jueun wasn't complaining. she thinks it's a fun way to get used to the new environment.

"i think i'd like to play one of those spoiled, rich kids? that'd be fun to film, and i wouldn't have to suffer in like the hot or cold weather because i'd always have a driver driving me around, you know." she was babbling at this point, but that's just what she caught on while watching her fair share of dramas. "how about you? is there any role you'd like to star in if you were to become an actor?"

for @bexstevie

hyejin didn't expect them to be do an acting camp but she wasn't against it. if anything, she was ready to learning more to help with performing. she was already trying to attend different workshops and take in whatever the companies wanted to show her.

having stevie in the same company as her was excited and she knew she had been giddy about it since it got announced and congratulated him for the win he had on next gen. she knows she couldn't help giving him a hug as well. she missed him so she's glad she gets to see him everyday now.

looking over the lines they have, she can't help but be eager to run through it all. hyejin's glad stevie agreed to work with her on this and she knows the two of them will have fun. "ready to get in character? think we can pretend to have tension between one another." she grins as she focuses on stevie, wondering about his thoughts for their scene together.

jay doesn’t know a lot about acting. that’s a given, and maybe that’s what this acting camp is for after all. it doesn’t change the fact that doing something he doesn’t like isn’t very stimulating to his very picky brain, but he’s trying. the fact that he’s trying is already a miracle in itself, but he learned a thing or two about obedience and listening to his elders back in next gen. he’s applying that now, as much as it’s messing with his usual dynamic.

it’s not all bad though, there are less boring classes. jay also doesn’t know anything about fashion. if he likes something he wears it, if he doesn’t it wouldn’t have caught his eye in the first place ( but that’s how jay operates for everything ). it’s a little interesting learning about the trends of fashion and all, and while he’s still struggling to keep his eyes wide opened the whole time, he’s paying attention regardless.

the fun part comes after the lecture, where there’s an assortment of items they can pick up and try out. he nudges @bexstevie ( who he vaguely remembers, his failing memory always a thorn on his side ). “that jacket is so sparkly it’s hurting my eyes. you should wear it and check yourself out in the mirror.” jay takes the jacket into his hands before stevie can protest, holding it up so he can put it on the other, a cheeky smile on his face. “then you’d really look like the sun.”

✦ . ˚ — ACTING CAMP: SCENE. jueun rehearses the scene she'll be acting out at the end of the bootcamp.

while jueun didn't walk into this trainee life with thoughts of being an actress, after this workshop, she had found it to be pretty interesting. of course, she was still anticipating the more official lessons she'd be participating in once this bootcamp was over, but this was a nice way to open her eyes to a different path that may be waiting for her.

despite her excitement and newfound interest in the skill, she was still a bit nervous about the scene she'd have to be acting out at the end of it. it wasn't the idea of performing it in front of others that she was worried about but rather how little experience she has in the department. jueun was really just nervous about disappointing herself.

that's why she's stuck herself inside one of the practice booths in the building and repeated the lines over and over again. she'll have to be performing with hyunki at the end of the day, but that didn't mean she couldn't go over her part of the scene on her own.

as she said back to hyunki when they first started rehearsing, she has never gone through such a dramatic breakup, so she wasn't entirely sure where to begin. however, she decided she needed a better understanding of the character she'll be playing out, so she watched a few other clips to understand just why she was going through the emotions, and that definitely seemed to help.

once jueun was aware of the background of the characters and the build up into the scene she would be acting, it became easier to completely immerse herself into the character. she couldn't say she was a master just yet, as this was her first acting "gig," if you could even call it that. however, she thinks she'll do a well enough job to show that the past two weeks at the bootcamp weren't a complete waste of time for both her and her instructors.

acting camp: solo #1

siwoo’s no stranger to movies, or dramas. not that he’s ever acted in one ( nor does he plan to, in the near future ), but his parents did know a few people in the industry, and from time to time his mother would represented someone from the industry. he’s heard of a family friend investing in a drama before, or a movie – but it isn’t as though siwoo’s paid close attention to it.

webtoons though. siwoo doesn’t know much about webtoons, except for the few popular ones he’s heard of here and there. still, he’s more than well aware of the fact that webtoons were now very often adapted into dramas.

it’s exactly what the workshop is about – adapting webtoons into dramas. it’s an interesting concept, siwoo thinks. and while he isn’t the largest webtoon fan out there, he’s sure that fans would at the very least appreciate seeing their favourite webtoons in 3d.

still, as he listens to the instructor, a thought passes through his head. what if the real life adaptation failed to live up to it’s hype? what if the male lead wasn’t quite as … attractive … as what the audience would have hoped for? that would fucking suck, right? he furrows his brows, and that seems to be enough to capture the attention of the instructor.

“do you have a question siwoo?” she asks.

he blinks, and has to think for a moment. for a way to word this without sounding like a lookism-type asshole. though he does think it’s a valid concern. while he’s not someone who engages in this type of content often, he tries his best to put himself in the shoes of a director.

“i was just wondering,” he begins, “have there been many cases when the… lead doesn’t live up to the expectations of the original work?”

the instructor smiles, and begins to explain herself. of course, siwoo tries his best to listen – doesn’t exactly want to seem like a dipshit that doesn’t put in effort his first month on the job. it genuinely is interesting though, learning about something so new.

while he knows for a fact that he isn’t particularly leaning towards acting, he finds himself interested in pursuing it in the future. if the opportunity ever does come.

✦ * · ˚ ACTING BOOTCAMP.

having to act out a scene at the end of the bootcamp was probably the most difficult part of this whole event. chaerin had never even imagined she'd be acting, especially since it wasn't something that lime entertainment focused on much either. however, she couldn't back out of it, so the best she could do was give it her all.

the scene that chaerin had decided to act out didn't require a lot of dialogue, but that meant there were other things she had to focus on. most importantly, she really had to embody the emotions her character would be feeling. for a moment, she almost regretted the choice she made, but she thinks that with the lectures and help she's received, she could pull it off.

she wasn't working with her partner today. instead, she decided to focus on fixing her expressions on her own. turning to face the mirror, she sighed as she looked at her own reflection. this was still something so new to chaerin, so she had to really get into the mindset before she began.

from this scene alone, chaerin happened to learn just how much went into acting out a single scene. while a lot of people may remember the lines from a specific scene, that wasn't the end of it. the reason why memorable scenes came out was because of everything that happened outside of the lines. yes, the script was powerful, but so was the facial expressions of the opposing actor. while working on this bootcamp, she had watched behind the scenes footages from drama shoots, and she saw how a good actor made sure to pull out the emotions of their partner. that's the sort of partner she wanted to be with this scene as well.

it was still awkward to simply watch herself in the mirror, but this was the only way to improve. because even if chaerin wasn't interested in acting, she wasn't one to slack off on any task given to her. even if she wouldn't be some master actress by the end of this bootcamp, she wanted to show that she's learned something.
