Gwiro was embroiled in a raft of issues even before its release.
Where other films leak a steady stream of on‑set tidbits, this one offered none.
Maybe because it had been battered early on, but no matter how fans searched, there was just… nothing.
Some productions post script‑reading sessions and set photos; Gwiro had zero.
To make things worse, the cast members chosen were all the type who rarely touch SNS, and the fandom was ready to tear its hair out.
[Guys, our actor is still alive, right…?]
They’d bawled when “Honey” (Chaheon) went on hiatus to finish school, then rejoiced at the sudden comeback— but how could there be not one crumb of news?
– Isn’t this Kim Seong‑ha? Maybe the project got canned.
└ Nah, I saw a photo from the gosa ritual.
└ Still—total radio silence is fishy.
– Freakin’ journo‑trash, always yapping; who are they to play gatekeeper to our Honey’s movie?!?
– I’m connected to the crew. Filming *is* happening!
└ Pics or it didn’t happen.
└ lol sorry can’t share proof, but the vibe on set is 🔥🔥
└ ? Not buying it.
[To the curious kittens—crew member from earlier!]
Our unit’s tiny so I can’t post receipts 😭. Believe it or don’t, up to you.
• Set atmosphere = awesome! NGs are rare ‘cause everyone’s that good.
• Schedule’s sprinting—news should drop soon!
• Honey’s acting is 🎯, shows up daily, feeds staff—been freeloading off him lol.
• Shockingly chummy with a co‑star! (Our Honey… famous for having zero friends…) 😅
TL;DR for lazy cats:
- Movie will open soon!
– Uh, that’s a *one‑line* summary?
– No pics? Don’t believe~
– LOL if this is real I’m thrilled; haven’t seen Honey’s face in forever.
└ Literally having withdrawal;
– Guys, why believe such an obvious fake?
└ wrote: Believe it or don’t 😊
└ At least make your lies *plausible* lol
└ Right? Since when does Honey have friends?
└ hey… that was supposed to be our secret… shhh…
– Co‑star? You mean with Koo Il‑hwan?
└ lol he’s old; I mean the actor playing the friend—glued together every day.
└ Ugh, almost thought it was real again T_T
– Break it up, folks—hoax confirmed
– FFS don’t torment thirsty fans like this!
Normally such updates spread via official accounts or actors’ social media.
But after that near‑cancellation before crank‑in, Gwiro went dark—so dark even devotees wondered if it still existed.
– Sigh, why doesn’t Honey use Insta…?
The middle‑aged cast shunned SNS, and the younger ones uploaded nothing, leaving people who were waiting to wither.
– Honestly, maybe it’s better if it *is* scrapped. What if this tanks Honey’s career? Director Kim’s rep is trash; hurts but better to pull the plug.
└ I’m with 50 others—better to cancel than scar Honey.
└ True, Honey *hates* bad acting.
└ Who’s “50”?
└ That no‑talent actor who got lumped with Kim in the articles.
Some prayed no news meant good news, lest ash be dumped on their precious star. Early negative commentary still lingered.
If only it would die quietly…—such sentiment spread, until:
[????? Guys??? Anyone hear about the press‑conference live‑stream???]
Suddenly, an unexpected headline dropped.
A quick link sped through the fan café like wildfire.
Fans who’d gone semi‑inactive logged back in, opening “live‑chat” threads.
[Didn’t someone claim a few days ago the movie was dead?]
So what am I watching—resurrected corpse?
– At least call it a zombie lol
[Our actor posted nothing on Insta, and you come back like this?]
Whiplash, but thank you.
– LOL fans learn via live‑stream they didn’t know existed
– Other stars model and do variety; our Kang actor does *nothing*—grateful he’s acting at all 😭
[Aren’t you worried?]
Someone said they hired a no‑talent—shouldn’t we be scared?
– Our Kang doesn’t tolerate bad acting, so we’re fine.
└ Exactly—if it were bad the press conf wouldn’t even happen.
Reactions varied from pure joy to dread of blemishing a spotless résumé—until someone barked:
[Hey, it’s starting— entrance now! Live commentators assemble!]
Posts and comments exploded.
– Kang Chaheon is insane—how can a human look like that?
– Stylist of the year award NOW.
The pleasure faded fast.
– What’s with the mood?
Because the live questions clearly skewed hostile.
– Thought this was a press day, not a parliamentary hearing.
– FFS let the actors TALK!
A few were swept into doubt:
– Guys, what if Kim really plagiarized? What happens to Honey?
But veteran fans shut it down:
– Newbie alert?
└ How’d you know?
└ Because Honey would never sign onto a plagiarist film.
└ True—his script radar is god‑tier; check his flawless filmography.
Faith in Chaheon scorched every suspicion. Then—
– uh?
– WTF?
– !!!!
– BREAKING: Kang says “If I pick most memorable co‑stars, Lee Rowoon is one.”
– NO WAY?!
Show‑biz is cozy, but not around Kang Chaheon, who thrives on talent, not connections. Fans knew he kept relationships strictly business.
[Anyone know who Lee Rowoon is???]
Looks like a soft baby kitty, feels unfamiliar. If Honey praises him, he must act crazy well, right?
It was a first: Chaheon publicly backing someone.
Stunned question marks gave way to rapid fire:
– Rowoon? The no‑talent who ruined that film?
└ Say what? Dude’s face is mochi‑kitten, not trash.
└ Talking about his ACTING lol
– Couldn’t bash his looks, but yeah, he had a decadent vibe—seems different now?
└ Is he famous?
└ If you’re into SNS stars, yes—huge follower count.
– Just googled—says his acting is 🤮. Chaheon, if you’re being blackmailed, shake a carrot emoji!!
└ Like anyone could blackmail Kang Chaheon…
Fans began compiling Rowoon dossiers; most was horror‑story level—yet:
– My actor’s too lofty; if Rowoon were scum, Chaheon wouldn’t even sit with him. I withhold judgment.
└ +1
└ +1 We’ll watch first, drag later if needed.
└ +1 And Rowoon looked level‑headed live—not scum at all.
Chaheon’s cushion of trust plus Rowoon’s calm smile at provocative questions earned passing marks.
Then came the finale: “free hugs.” When Chaheon said the words, the café crashed. Comments flew:
If he pledged that, the movie must be good.
Free hugs means even if it sucks we’ll watch ten times.
Amid frenzy:
– Guys, think: Honey’s official first friend.
Exclamation marks popped:
– HOLY—you’re right! Chaheon has no friends!
└ And he’d never befriend a bad actor.
└ Maybe Rowoon’s secretly OP?
After days of heated debate, the fandom decided:
Official first friend? Can’t lose this one.
If Rowoon matched horror stories, they’d drop him; but if he simply did his job—
“We adopt him!” became the unspoken consensus.
So Rowoon, who only meant to lure viewers, gained an unseen army.
“Need more invitations?”
“Huh?”
Director Kim handed Rowoon extra premiere tickets. “If you’re short, just ask—we kept some aside for cast.”
Rowoon, oblivious to the storm he’d stirred, could only stare at the tickets in his hand.
