VISITING GOD OF COMMUNICATION: JINNY'S KITCHEN (출장 소통의 신-서진이네편)

LAST WINTER

JINNY'S KITCHEN, A SNACK BAR, OPENED IN MEXICO

THEY AIMED TO FOSTER A HORIZONTAL CORPORATE CULTURE...

Gather around.

...CENTERED AROUND THE YOUNG EMPLOYEES

AND SHOWED THE BEST TEAMWORK EVER

BUT

AFTER THE SHOOTING, THE CORPORATE CULTURE HAS CHANGED

NATTERING WITH JUNG YU-MI

Seo-jin always wants to have a gathering once or twice a year.

Or sometimes even three times.

THE BOSS OCCASIONALLY GATHERED WITH HIS WORKERS AFTER MEXICO

He'd go, "We should meet up sometime."

But it'd take a while for the others to answer if they were shooting or busy.

LET'S MEET UP SOMETIME

12:05 P.M.

But it started to feel...

as if we were in the military.

- Like what? - The military.

- - The chatroom?

It wasn't like that, but these days it is.

- Seo-jin has become super impatient. -

- If Tae-hyung doesn't answer. - Right.

- He's becoming condescending. - He's so funny.

"Only Tae-hyung hasn't answered me. Again."

ONLY TAE-HYUNG HASN'T ANSWERED ME

THE GOD OF COMMUNICATION WHO TOOK THIS SERIOUSLY

DECIDES TO HOLD THE FIRST EVER JINNY'S KITCHEN RETREAT

TMI) THEY PLAYED GAMES LAST NIGHT

- You look so tired. - Early in the morning...

- Did you sleep well? - What?

No. I didn't.

So this is the new HQ?

- Yes. - The eggs come here.

It has that strong new building smell.

It smells so new. I could smell it from the elevator.

Just take a nap. We'll wake you up.

We're not shooting Jinny's Kitchen today.

Do you know which program they are from?

- They're from Earth Arcade. - Hmm.

I noticed the T-shirt.

HE'S PLANNING TO KEEP THEM UP ALL NIGHT

- It's nice to meet you. - You too.

Nice to meet you.

WHILE THEY GREET EACH OTHER

- Are you on our team now? -

PEEK-A-BOO

Oh, where did he come from?

He just showed up.

PEOPLE START TO MURMUR

He just showed up.

LEE SEO-JIN / BOSS

The boss is here.

- Hello, Boss. -

EVERYONE STANDS UP

BOSS JUST FLEW IN FROM NEW YORK

Hello.

HE GIVES EACH WORKER A PAT ON THE BACK

- Why are you so tanned? -

- It seems like you had a lot of fun. - No.

Why is he so tanned?

- Yung-suk worked me so hard. - What?

Your skin looks good, though.

Why is the dress code blue?

- - Why aren't you wearing blue?

- I got blue sunglasses. -

I didn't have anything else that was blue.

- It's a retreat. -

TA-DA

Hello!

JUNG YU-MI / EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

- Hey, Yu-mi. - What's up with all the cameras?

- The cameras? - What happened to your face?

What happened to your face?

FELL DOWN IN NYC

- You got hurt again? - No.

What's up with your T-shirt?

I was told to wear blue, but I didn't have anything blue.

At least she wore something blue.

Why are you...

- This is navy. -

I'm the only one wearing blue here.

No. Seo-jun and I are wearing blue.

That's sky blue.

THEY START BICKERING

LET'S GET TO THE POINT

We all work for the same company,

but I'm hearing that there are communication issues.

We looked into it and got reports

that there are communication issues between the boss and employees,

and among the employees as well.

- Who reported it? - What?

- Who reported it? - What?

Who reported it?

Who was it?

TREMBLE

Was it Seo-jun?

- Me? - Yu-mi?

SUSPECTING THE HIGHER RANKS

Who would report such a thing?

- Well, it's a bit... - What?

We meet in private from time to time.

How many times have we met?

- Three times? - Yes. Three times.

For example, if the boss wants to meet up,

how does he ask?

In the chatroom.

So he texts you guys?

- "When should we meet?" - "Make time that day."

- "Make time..." -

FLINCH

He just tells you to make time on a certain day?

He asks when we're available. Like, "How about this day or this day?"

So I guess you do communicate.

- You try to. - Yes.

- The boss... - Our communication is fine.

- So who on earth reported otherwise? -

PERSISTENT

- Who was it? - Who?

Who was it!

- Who did it? - This...

You're trying to find the whistle-blower.

It makes you seem like a very bad boss.

Tell us about your company dinners.

Normally, do you go to restaurants?

Boss makes the reservation

- every time. - Whoa...

He asks us what we want to eat.

So he asks you first.

- So who reported it, huh? -

IT'S A SECRET

I actually

like our little group right now,

so I really think we need to catch the little rat who made a false report.

Who in the world would...

HE'S VERY LOYAL

Who is trying to come between this solid group?

TRYING TO GET PROMOTED

We have to catch the little rat quickly.

AMBITIOUS

- Woo-shik is very upset. - Don't you agree, Boss?

SATISFIED

- - I don't know who made the report,

but I will find out who did it no matter what. Isn't that right, Boss?

Well, truth be told, the report wasn't anything serious.

So today isn't about having communication issues.

It's to communicate and get to know each other even better.

We're not just hanging out today. We'll play some games

- to build teamwork. - Okay.

Now, this is our first retreat, Jinny's Kitchen: Team Building.

Team building?

- Are we going to have more retreats? -

BUSTED

Are we?

You hate it that much?

Boss, what if this gets a higher rating?

What if this gets a higher rating

- than Jinny's Kitchen? -

PREPOSTEROUS

What happens then?

Then we'll quit Jinny's Kitchen and go on retreats.

- We'll do that. - Okay.

JINNY'S KITCHEN IS BEING THREATENED

GIBBERISH

- Time's up! - Don't explode!

THEY ARE OUT OF CONTROL

JUST HAPPY

- Nice! -

A RETREAT WITH THE BOSS WHO DOES HIS BEST

Ooh.

AND HIS PASSIONATE EMPLOYEES

- Hey... - Failed!

Failed!

BEWARE OF FIGHTS

- You call this teamwork building, huh? -
