This summer, the unique fantasy action movie 'All-Knowing Reader Perspective' successfully wrapped up its showcase at YES24 Live Hall on July 2 (Wed).
'All-Knowing Reader Perspective' (Director Kim Byung-woo, provided by Lotte Entertainment and Smilegate, distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Realize Pictures Co., Ltd., co-produced by MYM Entertainment, Smilegate Realize, and The Present Company) is a fantasy action film where the world in the novel becomes reality on the day the novel, serialized for over 10 years, concludes, and the sole reader, 'Kim Reader,' must survive in a devastated world alongside the main character, 'Yu Joong-hyuk,' and his companions. On July 2 (Wed) at YES24 Live Hall, the shining stars of the film, including Ahn Hyo-seop, Lee Min-ho, Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, and Nana, gathered to spend a memorable time with the audience.
Proving the explosive interest in the movie, the audience filled the seats and erupted in enthusiastic cheers at the actors' appearances. The showcase for 'All-Knowing Reader Perspective,' reflecting the worldview within the work, was themed around the actors breaking through the script they received, adding a unique fun that continued into the film's storyline. Laughter erupted from a game to guess the dialogue that fills in the blanks, and the noise grew louder during the 'Read the sentences perfectly without panicking' corner, where audience members had to read their written encouragements to the actors without laughing.
The highlight of the showcase was the third corner, aptly named 'All-Knowing Jenga Perspective.' In this section, while stacking Jenga blocks, the actors answered questions about episodes while filming 'All-Knowing Reader Perspective.' The actors showed excellent skills, maintaining a thrilling tension. Contrary to everyone's expectations that the Jenga tower would collapse during Nana's turn, an audience member volunteered to come on stage as the black knight. The moment the actor and the audience completed the Jenga tower together, cheers and gasps filled the auditorium. This time of close communication left a warm energy and became the pinnacle of the showcase.
In the final corner, the capsule mission heated up the atmosphere as actors answered questions left by prospective audience members in advance. The capsule drawn by Lee Min-ho revealed a task that couldn't be completed during the press conference — making a large heart — which received enthusiastic responses. After several attempts, the five actors united to finally complete the heart, and the audience erupted in applause and cheers, marking a truly memorable finale for both the actors and the audience.
Shin Seung-ho, who skillfully completed the script with his unique sense and wit, achieved the highest number of coins and won the game. The 'All-Knowing Reader Perspective' showcase, filled with fun from the tense Jenga game and filming behind-the-scenes moments to special photo opportunities, vividly conveyed the chemistry between the work and the actors, raising anticipation for the main feature.
Finally, Ahn Hyo-seop, who plays the sole reader 'Reader' in the novel serialized for over 10 years, expressed gratitude and joy, saying, "I appreciate the time we shared together," conveying heartfelt sentiments to the audience who joined the showcase. Lee Min-ho, playing the main character 'Yu Joong-hyuk,' stated, "I hope your love stacks as high as the Jenga tower. Please look forward to it," revealing his affection for the work with a witty response.
Chae Soo-bin, who plays 'Yu Sang-ah,' a work colleague of 'Kim Reader' who faced the moment when the novel became a reality, said, "It was such a joyous time, and I'm looking forward to the remaining time with the audience," further energizing the atmosphere. Shin Seung-ho, portraying the strong 'Lee Hyun-seong,' expressed, "It was a time when I felt your love abundantly. I think I can gain a lot of courage and motivation from the time I will spend with the audience," conveying sincere gratitude towards the audience.
Lastly, Nana, who plays 'Jeong Hee-won,' a character fighting for justice, warmly ended the showcase for 'All-Knowing Reader Perspective' by saying, "Thank you for taking precious time to come and support us. Please have high expectations and come to watch it." The film 'All-Knowing Reader Perspective' will dominate theaters this summer, offering a universe that exceeds imagination and a parade of captivating characters, and can be seen in theaters nationwide starting July 23.
