“An easy competitor?”
“Yes. Kang Jinseok is the first actor to be recruited by our company, so he shouldn’t be taken away.”
“Oh, yes.”
“That’s why I’m meeting people around me in person like this. I want to know the sauce that will capture his heart.”
Yoon Gayeon said with a light sigh.
“A sauce that can capture Jinseok’s heart?”
Seo Yeonsoo couldn’t have known that.
If there was such a thing, she would have tried it first.
“Huh? Sir, what’s wrong?”
At that time, the manager who had been to the bathroom asked in a worried voice. It was because he didn’t know what Seo Yeonsoo and Yoon Gayeon were talking about.
“··Huh?!”
As everyone’s eyes turned to him, the manager, who scratched the back of his head as if awkwardly, uttered consternation as to whether any of them had familiar faces.
“Oh, are you CEO Oh Haneul?”
“Do you know me?”
“I don’t know! I started a business after reading the book you wrote
Oh Haneul said with a smile at the excited voice of the store manager like a fan who met his favorite celebrity.
“Haha. This is very embarrassing.”
The manager approached Oh Haneul in a hurry and asked, alternately looking at Yoon Gayeon and Kang Kyungsik by his side.
“How did you come to such a shabby place?”
“Oh, I want to ask you something about Kang Jinseok. I’m sorry if it interferes with your business.”
“Not at all! Take it easy and go!”
He said so, but the manager carefully asked Seo Yeonsoo if she was worried about Jinseok.
“But you want to know about Jinseok?”
“Yes. Actually, I’m going to do OS Entertainment…”
Oh Haneul told the manager what Yoon Gayeon said to Seo Yeonsoo and about OS entertainment.
“Well, I see. If you want to hear about Jinseok to recruit him, you’ve come to the right place.”
Only then did the misunderstanding clear, the manager said with a bright face, nodding his head constantly.
“Then you’ve come to the right place. Here, Yeonsoo is an expert on Kang Jinseok. But it doesn’t seem like a story to be shared in a crowded place.··”
Yoon Gayeon and Oh Haneul looked at Seo Yeonsoo with sparkling eyes, saying, “Oh.”
Surprised, Seo Yeonsoo flapped her arms with a red face.
The manager, who had been contemplating for a while, made a decision.
“Yeonsoo put down the shutter.”
“What? Put down the shutter?”
“Yeah. You might take a day off for Jinseok.”
Oh Haneul bowed slightly to the manager’s words.
“Thank you very much.”
But the manager was aiming for something.
“Instead!”
“···?”
“I’d like to ask the CEO for some advice, too.”
“Advice?”
“Yes. About business, about business, about business, about business?”
The excited store manager opened his nose and exhaled in his nose.
Oh Haneul smiled and pointed to Yoon Gayeon, whether it was funny.
“Then my vice president will talk to Yeonsoo, and I’ll talk to the manager.”
“Thank you!”
Thanks to Jinseok, the store manager met the best mentor in the industry.
***
Oh Haneul and the manager, Yoon Gayeon and Seo Yeonsoo.
Kang Kyungsik was watching their conversation blankly while drinking iced tea.
‘I know it’s an important issue, but I can’t believe you took so much time.’
Oh heaven’s time was not usually valuable. His judgment alone determines the lives of countless employees around the world.
I remembered the meeting I had with Oh Haneul before Kang Kyungsik came to the cafe.
——
OS International Representative Office.
There, Kang Kyungsik spoke calmly to Oh Haneul.
“This is a document that summarizes the targets of the large agencies that you requested in the first half of the year. As you said, most of them are putting Kang Jinseok on the net.”
“I guess so. It wouldn’t have been easy to take out the data, but you’re the manager. By the way, the results of the new Netflix movie haven’t come out yet, have they
“Yes, but when I checked with the internal staff, they said he was the most likely candidate.”
“Good for you. Good job.”
“Thank you.”
Kang Kyungsik gave a slight silence and spoke out while looking at Oh Haneul’s face.
“CEO. I’d like to ask you a question.···”
“Why do you care so much about a new actor named Kang Jinseok? That’s what you’re curious about, right
Before Kang Kyungsik finished his speech, Oh Haneul first confirmed his question.
“As expected, you’re a ghost.”
Kang Kyungsik said with his head in full force.
“That’s right. I’m worried that I’m spending too much time on one actor now that I’ve entered Latin America and accelerated my business in Europe.”
“Well, certainly you deserve to worry about that.”
“···.”
“As expected of the chief of staff. Kang will be the only one in our company who can say such a straight word without looking at me. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Oh Haneul got up from his seat and walked through the representative’s office and said.
“First of all, the first reason is my friend’s request. I owe him a lot.”
“Yes. I’ve heard that before.”
“Okay, and the second reason is, in fact, a vague idea.”
“···.”
“I don’t think Kang Jinseok will remain a popular actor in Korea.”
“Are you saying that if you’re not an actor who only works in Korea, you can go overseas?”
“Yes. The OTT market will continue to grow, and if we can produce high-quality works accordingly. The status of Korean actors will also increase.”
The chief of staff also nodded lightly as if to agree with that opinion.
“That’s why I care about him. You know how great a sports star named Michael Jordan was, don’t you?
“Do you think Kang Jinseok will grow that much?”
“Yes, and it only takes an actor named ‘Kang Jinseok’ to take a successful first step, and the entertainment business is not a charity that started for him.”
“I don’t think I understood all of the CEO’s thoughts. I’m sorry.”
“You could have thought so. Nothing has been proven by the data yet.”
Oh Haneul spoke lightly in a passing tone, but Kang Kyungsik did not listen to it.
Oh Haneul, who has a great sense of business among the OS group families, said that.
“But it is not without precedent. The clothes, bags, and food, ·· of ‘world stars’ who have a strong influence not only at home but also abroad. Everything about them has become an issue, creating a new trend of consumption.”
Sales of related products surge just because they were worn by famous singers and actors.
They are the best billboards, models, and new trends.
Recruitment of top actors and singers for fashion shows in the fashion industry and sponsoring sports stars and games in the sportswear industry are all part of marketing.
“The entertainment business makes it possible to buy intangible values that money can’t buy. If it goes according to plan, not only the stocks of related affiliates but also their operating performance will overwhelm other older brothers.”
A stepping stone to becoming president of the OS Group.
Kang Kyungsik had no choice but to just listen to it.
“And if it doesn’t work, you can make it so.”
“···.”
“Because that’s how I got here.”
—–
“Even so, it seems like a waste of time for the CEO to move himself.”
At that time, Yoon Gayeon, who had been talking to Seo Yeonsoo for a long time, stood up and said.
“Thank you, Yeonsoo. You’ve been a great help.” In particular, it was information that I had no idea that Kang Jinseok worked part-time at a warehouse.”
“What? Oh, yes! I’m glad it helped you. Hehe.”
“And like I said earlier, I’m also interested in Yeonsoo, so please come and watch it.”
“Yes! Thank you!”
Just in time, I got up from my seat to see if the conversation with Oh Haneul was over.
“Well, then shall we go too? I think there will be a lot of work to do.”
Oh Haneul asked Seo Yeonsoo as if he had forgotten to leave the cafe.
“By the way, Yeonsoo.”
“Yes, sir!”
“How should I give you a case?”
“G, The case? You don’t have to give it to me separately. What a case with this….”
“You have to get it. You gave me such valuable information.”
Oh Haneul took some paper from his wallet and put it down on the table.
“Then, see you next time?”
Oh Haneul went out of the cafe with his eyes winking.
Seo Yeonsoo stared blankly at the back and checked the paper on the table.
“·····~”
There were a lot of zeros in the check to the point where I could breathe in vain without realizing it.

“We’ll be there soon, actor. Please let me know if you are uncomfortable driving.”
“Oh, yes, sir.”
The phone call from ‘KL Entertainment Actor 1 Director’ came while eating with Min Kyungsoo.
I thought the story would be long, so I said, “I’m eating now, so I’ll contact you later,” and hung up the phone.
It was not polite to call your senior for a long time.
To me, the first manager really sent me the car, saying, “Then I’ll send you a car, so please take your time to eat and come back.”
I couldn’t finish my meal properly because I was worried about the luxury sedan waiting for me outside. But now was not the time to care about hunger.
Because.
Because I was going to KL Entertainment right now.
It’s the first luxury sedan I’ve ever ridden in my life. It’s not a van that celebrities often ride, but a car that “high people” can ride.
“I said I would send you a car myself, but I didn’t expect you to do this.”
After a while, I arrived in the basement of KL Entertainment headquarters, which I saw only in pictures.
I was about to open the door, but someone opened it for me outside. It was a man in a neat suit.
“I’m Kim Wook, team leader of the actor’s room 1. It’s an honor to meet you.”
“Oh, yes. Hello, I’m Kang Jinseok.”
After a light handshake, Kim Wook took me to the elevator.
The elevator said ‘VIP’.
I looked around while waiting for the elevator.
The exterior was very neat. There were several real flowers, and there was a small pond. It’s like an indoor garden.
But on the contrary, the atmosphere flowing through the building felt cold.
After a while, the elevator arrived and Kim Wook arrived on the 35th floor.
“Wow.”
When the door opened, there was a red carpet that could be seen at the awards ceremony, and numerous pictures of actors were captured in luxurious frames in the long hallway.
“Go straight inside and you’ll find a room. The manager is waiting in the room.”
Kim Wook told me where to go while looking around the hallway, and immediately took the elevator down.
As he said, I walked along the corridor and came up with a visit. The fairly large door is a luxurious material that goes well with the hallway.
The moment I’m about to knock.
Click.
The door opened and a man’s face was seen.
“Nice to meet you. Actor Kang Jinseok. I’m Ryu Sungho, the director of the first actor I talked to on the phone before.”
a subdued voice. And neat eyes that I’ve seen somewhere.
The suit and shoes that were moderately tight made the man’s atmosphere more antique.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what, but there was a strange sense of incompatibility with this perfect-looking man.
If I had to express it.
‘Something. . . . It doesn’t fit in here.’
As I said earlier, KL Entertainment was so cold that it felt like the castle of the devil.
However, Ryu Sungho didn’t feel cold.
a sense of familiarity that doesn’t know why. I felt that.
It was different from the KL entertainment actors I’ve met so far.
What, what, what, what. They learn, and this is an employee, so maybe it is.
“Come this way.”
Ryu Sungho led me into the room.
It was simple.
One big desk, four sofas, and one computer. And a bookcase full of scripts.
The office, which really brought only what was needed, seemed to show his character.
As he sat on the sofa looking around, Ryu Sungho gave him a teacup and said.
“Was it convenient on your way here?” I paid attention to it.”
“Oh, yes. It’s my first time riding a luxury car, and it was comfortable.”
I answered honestly without much meaning. I came here really comfortably.
However, the answer was unusual.
“If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”
“····? Yes?”
“If you become our actor.”
