Sold Out on You (오늘도 매진했습니다)

SOLD OUT ON YOU

I wanted to introduce the essence in the best possible way,

so I think we'll need a bit more time.

- We'll have it perfectly ready for you. - She must be crazy.

So please think of today as a session to get to know.

L'Étoile's La Fin Essence a little bit more.

TO STUDIO C

Please ask any questions you may have through the live chat.

Everyone, let me remind you once more that we will not be selling the product

on tonight's broadcast.

Put down your phones for a moment, and please listen to my explanation.

What surprised me the most as I learned about La Fin Essence

was the raw material that makes up more than 90% of it.

This white flower noori mushroom

is a species native only to Korea,

and it is cultivated exclusively in Deokpung Village.

Even a slight change in temperature or humidity can make them spoil.

Did she just blow a prime-time slot worth millions per minute?

So they're very delicate and require meticulous care.

To be honest, L'Étoile's La Fin Essence

is such a well-known product that needs no introduction from me.

We're getting a lot of questions about not being able to order.

Again, please note that we will not be selling the product

on tonight's broadcast.

Stop the broadcast now and switch to a prerecorded segment!

We'd like to thank you

for taking the time to listen to our introduction

of L'Étoile's La Fin Essence.

We'll be back with the next broadcast as soon as possible.

This has been Dam Ye-jin.

HIT HOMESHOPPING

Dam Ye-jin, you rotten brat.

Have you lost your mind?

Are you taking responsibility?

How can you call yourself a home shopping host?

A home shopping host does not spend a moment on air

on anything else besides selling the product.

You went on TV without knowing that basic rule?

If it's a product that I can't trust 100%,

I can't sell it to customers, Ms. Dong.

Aren't you using them as an excuse?

Get out.

You don't have the right to stand here.

I can't believe her.

That little…

This is ridiculous.

Ms. Dam.

You did a good job.

Ms. Dam,

you were really impressive tonight.

Why did you come to HIT?

You didn't even know how I'd react.

Finding you was all I could think about.

I was sure we'd be on the same page.

You're saying…

That you trusted me, right?

Everyone will eventually realize

that you made the right choice.

But how did you know about this place?

I come here sometimes when I need some fresh air.

I mentioned this place during a recent live I did.

Did you watch it?

No.

I was just joking.

I guess I'm saying nonsense because I can't think straight.

Are you all right?

Thank you for tonight.

In return, I promise to have your back too one day.

You can count on me.

- Mr. Seo. - Did you know about this?

Sir? What do you mean?

MICROBIAL TESTING AND EXPECTED RESULTS

These numbers are much lower than the limit.

This is within the normal range.

Normal? When the growth rate is that high?

Are you sure there were no issues during production?

Mr. Seo, there are microorganisms floating around the air around us.

The point is not to exceed the limit, and as you know,

our essence contains preservatives to prevent that.

It passed even the strict EU standards

without any issues.

You know that better than anyone.

For now, suspend all production this minute.

Hello?

Eric!

What happened to the launch broadcast?

And that showcase? What on earth was that?

I'm asking you what happened!

I'm looking into it.

"Looking into it"?

So you're saying that host did this without even discussing it with you?

I see.

Michelle, don't touch her.

- What? - Don't lay a hand

on Dam Ye-jin.

SOMETHING'S UP IF IT WAS SUDDENLY PULLED DOES THE ESSENCE HAVE PROBLEMS? TELL US!

AS ALWAYS, PASS ON COSMETICS SOLD BY DAM YE-JIN

HIT HOMESHOPPING

How will the broadcast proceed now?

You mean the follow-up broadcast?

Right, yes…

We should get it ready quickly!

With the original contract terms,

we'll schedule it for two consecutive days.

We'll adjust the commission fee as well.

The commission fee too?

Of course, sir.

It was the result of a mistake on our end.

Geez, that Dam Ye-jin.

That oddball was already seen as a liability,

and she ended up causing a huge mess.

Once again, we sincerely apologize.

- In the follow-up broadcast... - Before that,

we'd like to run another product test.

Would that be all right?

For what?

Dam Ye-jin was called an oddball

because she's different from the other hosts who simply memorize

and recite what our clients want them to say.

What if we rush the broadcast

and something truly goes wrong?

All right, then.

I would like to check as well.

Look at this.

These fools at L'Étoile must have decided to just deny everything for now.

It seems Dam Ye-jin's going to end up taking all the blame.

L'Étoile has issued a statement today

on their official website regarding quality concerns

of their product from a launch broadcast that are spreading across social media.

According to the statement, the broadcast was switched to a showcase

based solely on the host's decision,

and it claims there were no functional issues with the product.

This has sparked a flood of criticism that the broadcast's host, Dam Ye-jin,

may have intervened excessively.

Past partner companies have been stepping forward

with similar allegations.

She checked our samples ten times.

But then, she nitpicked something trivial

and eventually rejected our product.

We even gave up a department store launch because she'd said she would sell them.

That's ridiculous…

MY DEAR DAUGHTER

The person you are calling is unavailable…

MYEONG-HWA

DAM YE-JIN

Mr. Park.

What brings you here at this hour?

I'm sorry to bother you so late.

Could I borrow your phone?

My phone?

Why? Is yours broken?

If it was, I guess you couldn't have called me.

WE'D LIKE TO REQUEST AN INTERVIEW

I TRUSTED YOU AND BOUGHT SO MANY PRODUCTS

TYPICAL ONLINE SELLER

MR. MECHOORI

Hello?

Mr. Mechoori?

Yes.

Has it exceeded the CFU limit?

No, not yet.

Then, why did you call me?

Wear your socks to bed.

What?

I mean…

I read a study somewhere

that wearing socks to bed dilates peripheral blood vessels,

helping with temperature regulation

and better sleep.

Did you call me at this hour to tell me that?

No, it's not that…

I know why you called.

What?

You suddenly called me and started rambling.

You're drunk, right?

No.

- I didn't drink... - I'm joking.

I'm sure you have a lot on your mind too.

It's late.

You should go and sleep.

Okay.

L'Étoile's headquarters

distanced themselves from Dam Ye-jin and said she acted on her own.

Do you see it the same way?

We're still looking into the matter,

but we can't conclude it was L'Étoile's fault yet.

The numbers from today were still less than half the limit.

Weren't you being too rash?

The decision that day and this discussion today.

Right now, Dam Ye-jin is...

Ms. Dam…

Will do a follow-up broadcast

with L'Étoile.

Do you think Ms. Dam

will be all right until then?

HIT WE SELL VALUE WITH SINCERITY

I made the judgment that our trust with customers came before sales.

Even if I were to go back to before the broadcast,

I would make the same choice.

I'll take responsibility for all the consequences of my decision.
