In Urban Fisherman 1, actor Kim Rae-won appeared..
He's known as one of the famous fishermen in the entertainment industry
and appeared in an episode where they go fishing in Japan's Odo Islands..
Fitting his reputation, he caught an amazing amount of fish..
Then the Urban Fisherman team asked him a question..
if he had any photos with the big fish he caught..
His answer to that question was
no..
When I asked why not,
he said he only feels the joy of catching fish and doesn't take photos,
but instead, his manager takes photos with the fish..
Usually when ordinary people catch a big fish,
they take a photo with themselves and the fish..
But Kim Rae-won doesn't do that..
Suddenly thinking about it,
I've also caught what I'd call 'life fish' a few times,
but I don't have any photos with them..
Female celebrities sometimes take selfies and post them on SNS,
but when I think about it,
male celebrities, especially top-tier male celebrities, don't seem to do that much..
Brad Pitt, Jang Dong-gun, Jung Woo-sung, Won Bin, DiCaprio and people like that
I don't think I've seen them post selfies..
There might be some, but since I'm not particularly interested in those celebrities,
based on what I've seen, there weren't any..
I wondered why, and after thinking about it carefully..
They get photographed by other people constantly without even taking selfies themselves..
Sometimes they're paid to be photographed..
Paparazzi even photograph them in hiding..
Because they're photographed all the time,
I can guess they might have developed a resistance or fatigue toward being photographed..
Because..
I'm the same way..
I don't like having my photo taken, whether it's a selfie or someone taking it for me..
Even in Indonesia at restaurants or on the streets,
even while playing golf,
people keep taking photos and asking to take pictures together..
These caddies don't even hand me golf clubs, they just keep taking my photos with their phones..
Par 3 holes often get backed up..
Then the caddies from the group ahead swarm over, sit on my lap saying they want photos, and do all sorts of annoying things,
and it was so embarrassing and awkward that I once jumped in the cart and drove past that hole..
But those damn caddies left the other guests and chased after me in the cart..
The guests waiting to play started running after us shouting 'Hey, wait!~' because the caddy took the golf bag and left..
When I looked back to ask our caddies if they were still chasing,
those two were fighting and grabbing each other's heads,
the neighborhood dogs were barking along too..
Anyway, I'm filled with incredibly exhausting memories..
Sometimes when I go to the supermarket, ajummas pretend to be texting while actually taking photos of me..
I'm sure many people here in Nongkrong have photos of me..
Since I've already been photographed anyway,
share it with those who don't have it and look at it whenever you're sad..
After all, this is how I look..
And it doesn't even cost money..
