    • Superstar 834 Cover
      by Cristae After another day of hard but enjoyable training, Seo-jun returned home. Choi Tae-woo informed him that a video would be uploaded the next morning (midnight in Korean time). “The one from your birthday?” “Yeah.” While the photos taken in front of the birthday banners were posted on the day itself, the videos Tae-woo had filmed needed editing—subtitles, background music, etc.—so they were only ready now. “Tae-woo hyung, can I watch it first?” “Of course. Wanna see it…

      by Cristae To the quiet cheers of the crowd, Seo-jun opened his eyes. If the ears had been part of his actual body, he could’ve told whether they were moving or not. But no matter how much he focused, all he could feel was the headband pressing against his head. “Guess I’ll have to check with a mirror.” Continuing that slightly pitiful thought, Seo-jun looked into the mirror in his hand. The mechanical ears, shaped exactly like a wolf’s, drooped low. “Whoa!” As soon as Seo-jun gasped in…
    • Superstar 836 Cover
      by Cristae When Seo-jun met the cat’s eyes, he gave a gentle smile and took a small step back from the cage. Hailey Lodge, who had once declared, “I like both dogs and cats, but if I had to choose—definitely cats!” mirrored Seo-jun’s cautious movement, her face slightly flushed. They both knew just how sensitive cats could be. “Alright, please open them.” After confirming that the meeting room door was securely shut, Director Wilma gave the signal. The three handlers unlocked the…
    • Superstar 837 Cover
      by Cristae The next day. Grace: Today’s your first shoot, right? < Yeah. I’m on the way now. In the backseat of the car heading to the first shoot of New Eclipse, Seo-jun leaned against the seat, texting with his friends. Grace and original author Laura Welton had returned to New York a few days after Seo-jun’s birthday. They had checked the set, locations, and cast, so there was no more need for them to stay. “Anything more would just get in the way.” That’s what Laura had said…
    • Superstar 838 Cover
      by Cristae “Cut! Okay!” The very first take of the very first shoot wrapped in one go. “We’ll move on to the bust shot!” While the bust and close-up shots still remained, the momentum was high. The New Age production staff, observing from a distance, silently applauded at the scene that looked like it had come straight out of the novel Eclipse. ‘The writer should’ve seen this!’ Seo-jun Lee’s suspicious and unsettling aura was flawless, and Hailey Lodge’s startled reaction and…
    • Superstar 839 Cover
      by Cristae “Come here, Lily.” Miyaong— When Lily’s guardian shook the hand holding a treat, Lily’s eyes sparkled as she started moving toward it. All eyes followed her—cameras, crew, Seo-jun and Haley Roge too. On top of the wall. As Lily reached out one dainty paw, a quiet “Ooooh” could be heard. Then another step—“Oooooh!” Wilma had said the sound would be edited out later, so no one held back their admiration for Lily’s cuteness. Of course, they kept their voices low so as…
    • Superstar 840 Cover
      by Cristae “Okay! Cut!” Morning filming wrapped, and after lunch, preparations began for the next shoot. Seo-jun arrived on set for his afternoon scene. “Welcome, Jun.” “Hello.” As Seo-jun greeted the staff, a soft meow made him look down. A black cat stood at his feet. “So it’s Bella today. Hello, Bella.” Meow— Seo-jun scooped her up, gently cradling the feline who had worked hard all morning. He also exchanged greetings with her handler. ‘Jack was here…
    • Superstar 841 Cover
      by Cristae Meow— "Shh. Stay still, Bella." Meooow— Bella meowed discontentedly at her guardian's words. Well, considering she'd been roaming freely outdoors and was now suddenly told to get inside a cage, it made sense that she felt stifled. "But this is outside, so you can't come out. You'll disturb the shoot and might get lost." If someone told her to go find a cat that had escaped on a large, dangerous Hollywood set, she might just faint. At her guardian’s firm words, Bella, who had been…
    • Superstar 842 Cover
      by Cristae "Come in." Perhaps because she had done it once before, allowing the man to enter the house felt easier. The man, who had been fiddling with the green thread bracelet around his wrist, carefully pushed the wooden gate at Claire’s words. He flinched for a moment, worried flames might flicker, but the magic stayed still. Claire, who had been holding her breath and watching, was relieved to see the man enter without issue. "Do you have clothes to change into?" "…No. I don't." "Then…
    • Superstar 843 Cover
      by Cristae "What is it that you want to request?" To lighten the mood, Claire asked Theo. He looked startled at first, then let out a sigh of relief and began to speak. "I'm under a spell." "A spell?" Claire and Molly looked at Theo. Theo fidgeted with his mug as if feeling awkward. "Or maybe I should say… a curse." "A curse…" Claire's eyes widened. Right. If there were magic and witches and werewolves, then curses surely existed too. There were always people full of jealousy,…
    • Superstar 844 Cover
      by Cristae After breakfast. The witch, the werewolf, and the black cat gathered in the living room. “It’s fine. You don’t need to give anything.” Watching Molly, who had somehow circled back to demanding Theo’s claws as payment, and Theo hesitating, modern-minded Claire spoke firmly. “Why not? If we had werewolf claws, we could make something amazing, Claire!” “Pulling out claws hurts.” Claire shuddered when she saw Theo fiddling with his fingernails. “We don’t need fur or…

      by Cristae A short while ago. Before filming began, Seojun was reviewing his script one last time. Sitting in his chair and studying the script, Seojun looked utterly serious. As always, the staff either stepped out of the waiting room or remained quiet. There are dogs like that. Dogs that suddenly fall ill once they find a home. Their owner thinks they’ve done something wrong, but that’s not it. The dogs simply realized something. That it’s okay to be sick when they’re with this…
    • Superstar 846 Cover
      by Cristae Oh… As filming progressed, the assistant director and crew—who had been worried Seojun might be sick—were now too busy being impressed. “I heard he can switch his acting on and off, but it’s like he actually has a switch.” “Right?” Because of cat Bella’s outtakes or to shoot from other angles, the scene where “Theo is in pain and gradually recovers” had to be filmed several times. And each time, Seojun Lee acted as though someone had flipped a switch—perfectly showing…
    • Superstar 847 Cover
      by Cristae “The battle was brutal. It was worse because my father, the strongest werewolf in Rayfield, wasn’t there. They fought for two full days before they finally repelled the enemies, leaving behind countless casualties.” It was a story Theo had been hearing since before he could even understand words. The wolves had told young Theo every bloody detail of that day—severed limbs, blood spraying everywhere, the metallic stench filling the air, the groans of dying family members, and the cold chill of…
    • Superstar 848 Cover
      by Cristae Hearing his friend laugh through the phone, Jack Smith chuckled softly in return. "That cat is Molly?" It had taken him a moment to remember, but Jack suddenly recalled that the witch’s cat appeared in the original novel Eclipse, the source material for the film his friend was working on. —Yeah. There are two more: Lily and Bella. Seojun answered with a smile from the screen. The phone must’ve been propped up somewhere—he was using both hands to pet cat Jack, and the way he did it…
    • Superstar 849 Cover
      by Cristae At that moment, Director Wilma blinked in surprise—then smiled and said, “It’s fine, Hailey. Not bad at all.” Seojun, sitting off to the side, also nodded. Considering she had been worried just moments ago about not being able to immerse herself in the role, she did well. Of course, Hailey Rosie herself didn’t seem to think so. “Hoo…” At Wilma’s decision to reshoot, Hailey let out a light breath and stared again—no, glared—at the green ball hanging from a stick held by…
    • Superstar 850 Cover
      by Cristae “Jun. You could seriously teach acting.” Director Wilma quietly spoke. On the set, Haley Rosie had begun acting—now fully immersed, a far cry from her earlier struggles. Her eyes, wide with surprise, flickered as if trying to measure the size of the massive wolf in front of her. Her feet hesitated in fear, and her mouth fell open as she took a deep breath. But then—she realized the presence before her was Theo. Because in those large yellow eyes, there was familiarity. A smile spread…
