How Do You Play? (Hangout with Yoo / 놀면 뭐하니?)

Hello.

Let's go to a meeting. - A meeting?

Yes.

Hello. What is this place?

Let's go to the meeting first.

Hello. - What?

What's this? Hold on.

Hold on. Chang...

Gosh. - Chang Ju.

Chang Ju.

You ended up here. - Yes.

How have you been?

Hello.

So I... Wait.

This is my workplace?

Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

Is this the company I'll work at?

This situation... It's so incredulous.

He...

He's that guy.

He works at Karrot.

This is Chang Ju, the cousin I'm so proud of.

He's my younger cousin.

We call him CJ.

I'm CJ. - CJ?

We all use English nicknames.

Then I'll be...

There's something I posted six months ago.

It won't sell.

On Karrot? - Yes.

With the hope that it will sell...

I'll go by Cycle.

"Cycle?" - Yes.

You're selling a bicycle? - Yes.

This is so perplexing.

What's he doing here? - Since...

you don't know... - What's my rank?

And what department is this?

We're the Advertising Team.

Advertising, okay.

Local business owners. - Yes.

And local residents. We help them meet and connect.

We're providing that service. - Okay.

The theme of today's meeting is marketing.

A core member...

You're a core... A core member. - No. I'm not.

Are you the engine here? - I'm not.

He used to be a snotty kid.

Now he sits over there with a beard,

hosting a meeting and whatnot.

He used to go around with snot on him.

His father is Uncle Hoon. His name is Kim Hoon.

That's right. He's my favorite.

He's generous and kind.

He was truly talented.

Since his father was good at school, Chang Ju is also...

an outstanding man.

He was very good in school.

He graduated with honors. - But...

Wait. - Even when so many people...

were going bankrupt from stocks, he survived as a trader.

I'm so proud of you for getting hired at Karrot.

I'm so proud.

It's been ages since I saw you too.

Then let's take the platform we created...

and proceed. - Okay.

We've been operating this since this past December.

How should we promote the new information?

I pulled some data on promotions. - I see.

If we have about 80 people that have taken...

a total of 580 advertisers to...

We want to create a good experience for customers.

I tried pulling some information for targeted promotions.

Of these,

I used at least half of them in ads.

This increased traffic by 20 percent.

I see.

What do you think, Cycle?

What do I think? - Yes.

I think...

we can try a little harder than what we have now.

Let's light things up a little more.

Cycle, you encountered difficulties...

while running your business. - Right.

Since you have experience as a business owner,

you can think about this from that perspective.

I think this is really needed.

We need to revive the economy at the street level.

We need to revitalize the streets and then conduct business,

or the streets won't come alive.

We need people to do business.

I think that's the greatest problem.

We need some unity among business owners.

We need something that can accomplish that.

In the past, during the COVID-19 pandemic,

I had some friends whose businesses...

started sinking fast and wound up on the verge of bankruptcy.

I thought about how I could help them.

The businesses that are doing well...

should create incentives that come in package form.

For example, customers can collect stamps from each business.

If they collect all the stamps, they get a 20 percent discount.

Or if customers collect all the stamps for a street,

they can win a prize.

We can make them sheriff...

or give them a badge. - Street sheriff.

I think word of mouth can count for a lot.

I think businesses should engage in mutual aid.

What if there were a Karrot-only license people could get?

They can receive business support for about six months.

Yes.

What do you think about this?

How can we target customers well?

I know you have strategies from your experience.

I think we'll have to think about the vibe before starting.

We'd have to look at the business district.

It's important to make people come to the area,

but it's most important to capture business from locals residing there.

At the very least, if I were to do something with a store,

I think I'd need to visit it at least 200 times.

Of the ideas Cycle presented,

I really agreed with him saying that the street needs revitalizing.

I think the stamp tour would be a fun promotion.

You had a lot of good ideas. - I'm taking this seriously.

From a real business owner. - That's right.

Cycle gave us better advice than I was expecting.

Right?

You proposed a lot of good ideas so far.

Today,

we can meet with business owners on the ground.

We can listen to what their problems are,

and take some time to generate ideas...

that we can turn into an actionable project.

Today?

You'd do this personally, Cycle. - I would?

Yes. We can get going. - I see.

Thank you for your time. - Thank you for your time.

Chang Ju, you're so cool.

You lived up to all my bragging about you.

If the Small Enterprise and Market Service tell us...

what their issues are, wouldn't that be good?

I can't believe you've gotten so grown up.

You have a child now.
