She's a good cook.

We have Director Park Jin Chae and actor Kang Hae Jin with us in the studio today.

- Welcome! - Hello, I'm actor Kang Hae Jin.

Director Park Jin Chae...

The news doesn't carry much weight anymore.

What surprises me is that actor Kang Hae Jin

decided to appear in a ₩500 million (350,000 USD) low-budget film,

especially with no guaranty.

I'm a fan of the director, and the project was excellent.

The project, my a**...

He didn't read the script and signed the contract just because he went to Cannes.

The protagonist is a pure-hearted softie (wimp).

He totally differs from your previous role as a killer.

And your fans' attention is becoming amplified.

Right now, many people are asking questions in real-time.

One thing I must ask is

you were captured often FaceTiming (video call) someone

in the last few years, right?

- That's with my cat— - And you always said you were talking to your cat.

Media outlets mentioned actresses with the surname "Go" (Goyangyi is cat) as your potential love interest,

or actresses, whose faces resemble cats, were also named in the scandal.

It is my cat, and she's very haughty (proud).

It's tough for me to see her face at home.

But she appears on the video quite often. She's peculiar.

I have never heard anyone explain his cat as his scandal subject.

- I'm sure the viewers must feel the same way... - Gosh, what an explanation.

- That's what I think. - Who is it?

Kang Hae Jin, who left as his manager held me by my collar, that guy.

Is it the guy with style and unreal looks?

Gosh, I got it. Don't be angry.

Let's discuss the movie.

In the movie, the female protagonist, who is a contractor,

has a difficult battle against the corporation.

In actuality, the movie's setting is the conflict between Kangjin Group and its union.

Director, you said this in your previous interview, correct?

- It's not, is it? - That's correct.

- We all watch corporations' ads daily, even if we don't want to. - That's right.

However, no one shows the workers' painstaking efforts.

Even though my script review was good,

no one would invest in it if I said it was about Kangjin.

- You didn't tell me this before. - So how...

After actor Kang Hae Jin's appearance was confirmed, all issues were resolved.

You surely gained a big supporter.

I was able to proceed without hindrance.

Why is he proceeding over my body?

I must ask the actor Kang Hae Jin.

Several hundred brands are in Kangjin Group.

If you act in this movie,

you can't advertise for those brands. Weren't you aware of that?

I gave my best for the movie as an actor.

- I don't intend to attack specific— - Actor Kang Hae Jin

never did any Kangjin commercials.

- All this time? - Yes. I found out all that.

- Is that so? - No!

You haven't, Mr. Kang.

Yes, he is correct, but...

I hope you all remember it's just a movie.

Yes, the best Hallyu (Korean Wave) star of our era readily acted in a movie sharply criticizing a large corporation.

He said to note it's just a movie.

Why does his statement sound more like a ringing alarm for Kangjin Group?

The movie, "Great Kangjin,"

unprecedented for an independent film will be seen worldwide...

Is that true?

Now, it's their turn to answer.

Did you know about this?

Did you know the movie stabs my family?

Well, I didn't know at the start.

But you met the director alone to sign the contract.

- You said don't argue with you— - Since when did you listen to me?

Geez, I'll get summoned again.

Anyway, it's a secret you're a Kangjin Group son.

What? If that's a secret,

don't my parents know I'm their child?

Think before you speak!

Give me the phone.

Hurry!

Jamie.

Honey?

Please comfort me, Jamie.

Jamie?

- Aren't we leaving? - Hyung, I know you'll yell at me for this, but...

How much longer will you be sensitive about mentioning your family?

Honestly, you've lost tons of money for refusing all the ad work.

Jamie won't come out since you're blabbering!

Gosh, what do I do now?

You get ignored by a cat with a sh**ty temper; why take it out on me?

- Jamie, what do I do? - That first love, Jamie, who resembles a cat, likely has a bad temper, too.

No need for words if she scared off Kang Hae Jin.

I'm sure she couldn't get married

or divorced more times than you can count on your fingers.

What?

Why aren't you asking me?

You nagged me to notify Mr. Money.

Don't you know? You leave no room to ease in with any questions.

I joke depending on the situation, you know.

May I ask you then? Why? Can't he bear to let you go?

Is he clinging for a life contract?

But strangely, you feel sorry for him and stuff.

He stole my thunder. He said to get a divorce.

Really? Then we can go to Canada now; I mean, it's daebak!

So did you give him a refund?

You always refunded money even when the client changed his mind.

Yes.

Well... Right?

Divorce.

Let's end this marriage.

Okay. I understand.

Thank you.

But honestly, I'm shocked. I mean, I'm speechless.

It wasn't just a year or two. How could you just break the contract on your own whim?

You've read the terms and conditions, right?

There is no refund when a client changes his mind.

Regarding the monthly cost you deposited four days ago,

I'll be sure to work the remaining 27 days.

I highly value decorum (ethics).

- You don't have to do th— - No. This is my professional mindset.

Oh, well... I'll clean it up since you cooked.

That's a given.

I stood up to go home.

Gosh! It was obvious I was upset as I left.

What the heck? Then must you go back?

That guy... was cool before.

Well, he begged me to work the remaining days.

I don't really need to be cruel about it, you know.

It was the right decision. I did the right thing.

But why do I feel so uneasy?

If I don't want it complicated, I must think simply.

To think simply,

I have only to work my body rather than my head.

I don't feel like I'm doing something.

I have affection for thee (you).

Oh, it's that Kang Hae Jin.

You're the only one for me.

Wow, quite good acting.

For me, all I need is you.

- Only you. - What the...

He sure is easy!

To promote a mid-to-long-term social donation project, Eena Group

stated they will form a public trust foundation,

Eena Mirae Foundation, to support needy classes

and increase aid to orphanages,

currently sponsored by a scholarship foundation.

This foundation will encourage independence and the future of—

As expected, taking a break isn't for me.

I should do something.

Well, Hyung, I'll stop by President Kang Seon Jin's office.

He had called.

Oh, it's time to call Jamie.

Jamie? Jamie?

Did you eat?

It was crazy because of the move, right?

Sorry. I reserved a hotel tonight so feel better.

It's over as long as we could scout John Brown.

Arguing over pecking order and whatnot becomes humiliating.

But no corporation in Korea was ever able to meet him.

From my intel, I heard John favors one headhunter—

- Find him then. - I'm asking all over.

I said, just tell me the results.

- Hyung. - Dismissed.

Hey, our baby bro.

Hey, you sure threw a punch at our company.

Gosh, it's not like that.

It's okay, Man. It's okay.

A man should have guts to do stuff like that.

But you should have been home on Father's birthday.

You know, I'm uncomfortable around father.

Gosh, uncomfortable around family…

True, I have five siblings,

but you're the only one I'm comfortable with.

Have a seat.

It's a contract.

It's apartments we're launching,

Kangjin's new flagship!

What the heck? Will you give me a purchasing right?

It's a commercial contract.

Well? You could buy a royal floor with your guaranty.

You know I don't make Kangjin commercials.

You're the number one commercial model in Korea, yet the number one

of the business world can't hire you?

I heard you film over 20 commercials a year. Why do you discriminate?

I'm being a good son.

The family doesn't pay me. I earn money elsewhere.

I'm the only one who does that.

What a terrible disservice as a son...

My apologies, I have urgent news.

It's okay.

- I found out. It's Tiffany Yoo. - "Tiffany Yoo"?

Her Korean name is Yoo Mi Ho.

It's been ten years since she retired.

She was formerly with Eena Group.

Find her right away.

Yes, Sir.

"Eena Group"?

Gosh, why is your rent so late? It's not that much.

And I couldn't even get in touch with you.

You're making it hard for me.

You look pretty today.

Really? We have a family introduction dinner for my daughter.

I'm talking about the rent! Why don't you pay it?
