Leadership Oh, Ae Ri...

Your expression is so grim from the first day at work.

-Hello. -People would think you're going into a battle.

Do you have an overreacting personality to begin with?

You know I am a serious person.

I wasn't overreacting but making a firm resolution.

That is overreacting.

Resolution is for a person in a responsible position.

And alertness is reserved for the staff.

Future overreacting is prohibited, understand?

Yes.

Good morning, Aide Choi.

How refreshing...

Hello.

Get in, what are you doing?

Oh, you came all spruced up today.

When did you come in?

Oh, you are here?

Since there are eyes in the Assemblyman Center, I think

it best to refrain from sleeping in the office.

We have to save at least the motel

fees. There are so many expenses to be paid.

Did you stay up all night?

Well, I think so, but

I don't know what I did at all.

It's not something you can learn by cramming.

Society. Culture

-Take it easy. -Then, I'm a thief.

What?

Are the people paying me to study? They're

paying me to hurry up and do something.

That should be right.

Continue, then, your cramming.

What is she saying?

Eh, also, a secretary does not have a mouth.

And what does this mean?

In the future, both of you

cannot go outside and spout without permission

what you've seen and heard in the office, OK?

Yes. -Yes.

This is not some National Intelligence Service...

He means watch your tongues.

There weren't just one or two assemblymen who had

suffered because of their tongue-wagging staff.

There were even assemblymen who had lost their heads (SEATS).

Politicians are people who walk the fine line of the prison wall.

Keep in mind that the aide staff, on that dangerous path,

are guides who lead the assemblyman to the right path.

Yes.

Gyu Hwan, why aren't you answering?

Yes, I will keep that in mind.

Okay, then start the day.

I will work hard.

Mr. Kim Gyu Hwan... seems like a bit gloomy person.

Father, watch me...

Mr. Kim Gyu Hwan, let's work well together in the future.

Let's work hard.

I am totally disappointed in you, CEO.

-Why? -Didn't you say you would put on the (ASSEMBLY) badge later?

You said politicians survive not on food but on pride.

And you become Assemblyman Jin Sang Pil's aide?

Someone slid into the nomination because of you!

Don't nag me but just answer. Are you going to come to our office or not?

Our office? Are you nice or spineless?

Don't rub it in and just give me a quick answer.

Why will I go there? Under an assemblyman who is not even like an assemblyman,

it's clear that I will just work like a dog and after a year become unemployed.

Hey, Song So Min!

Aide!

Oh, what brings you here?

Aide Seo asked us to buy some office supplies.

Gyu Hwan, hello.

Yes, how are you?

But are you working for the National Assembly?

Yes, I have ended up working in Assemblyman Jin Sang Pil's office.

Oh, by the way, Aide Choi. Thank you for that compilation of interview questions.

What do you mean a compilation?

You know what So Min gave me before.

She said you ordered her to do it.

Oh, why bring up what's past. You have such a meticulous personality.

Go on and continue with your business.

Aren't you going to work? Go!

Such undisciplined newbies...

Did you use me to hit on him?

I have a personal taste too, you know!

I was just considerate toward him because it's commendable

that a young person tries so hard to make it.

Recite it. -What?

You told me to take charge of the

promotion. Recite a list of the papers you need.

Oh really...

Go in please.

Gookmin Party General Meeting for Emergency Policies

What did you say this now is?

That is, it is a Gookmin Party's general meeting to discuss emergency policies.

So, exactly, what is this about?

Oh, that is, as I was saying...

It's a neighborhood meeting...

amongst assemblymen.

This is the first time we're meeting each other face to face, right?

Oh, yes, I am Jin Sang Pil.

I'm Park Choon Seob.

Let's eat together some time.

Ah, yes, a meal.

How is our economy right now?

The citizens have closed their wallets and

businesses are not making investments.

Then, shouldn't at least the government pump in money and stimulate the economy?

We have to come up with an immediate modified budget

and increase government spending!

Here! Here!

The government came up with a modified budget a long time ago.

So why hasn't it submitted it to the National Assembly yet?

Is it because they are afraid of the opposition parties?

It's because they are scared of the Anti-BH faction.

When it comes to stimulating the economy, where

are the differences between the Pro- and Anti-BH?

This assemblyman will give firm support this time.

So, the government better submit the modified budget to the Assembly right now!

That is all.

He is making a display to get some of the budget money for his constituency.

Hello.

Secretary General, look where Assemblyman Jin sat down.

It's nice to see.

Now, if there is no other assemblyman who wants to speak,

I am about to dismiss everyone...

Just a minute, moderator.

Yes, Assemblyman Park.

Isn't this Assemblyman Jin Sang Pil's first general meeting?

Let's welcome him and hear his greeting words.

It's okay with me if I don't speak.

Oh, I didn't think about that.

Assemblyman Jin!

Ah, yes... Please come out.

I didn't need to speak up.

Then...

Is aiding him bearable?

The rumor is that he is such a trouble maker.

He's a good person. The problem is that he is incompetent.

Hello, I am Assemblyman Jin Sang Pil.

Assemblyman Jin? -Yes?

Since the session will start soon, please hurry up.

Oh, yes...

But what do I say now?

Oh, well, things like your resolve or determination

regarding participation in the legislative activities.

Just a brief comment would do.

Oh, determination... briefly...

Yes, to the best of my abilities,

fight!!

Assemblyman Jin Sang Pil Expression of OPINION UNEXPECTED EXPLOSION: FIGHT!!

If a similar occasion arises again in the future, you can say it like this.

I will put the party before all personal interests and work hard.

I beg a lot of guidance and instructions from

senior and fellow assemblymen.

Yes, that party first me second...

But, what they were yelling about at the general meeting...

Modified budget?

What is that exactly?

Pursuant to the National Financing Act, in the event a war, natural

disaster or great depression occurs or is in danger of occurring...

in order to respond, the government, in addition

to the already approved national budget,

sets a modified budget.

Wow, you're a computer.

Wow, then, that modified budget,

that thing is a very good thing, right?

There are many adverse effects as well.

Especially at times of serious tax revenue decrease like now,

a fiscal deficit through issuance of government bonds is unavoidable.

This leads to an increase in the national debt and worsens the financial health.

Yes, so, this has nothing to do with me.

Depending on which standing committee you're assigned to,

it may have something to do with you.

Oh, I've heard that word earlier, standing committee...

Which one?

Strategy and something...

Oh, Strategy and Finance Committee!

SFC?

But that is a major league... What?

We'd like Assemblyman Jin's standing committee to be changed.

Sunbae-nim, please put in a good word to the floor leader.

Why? It's a major standing committee that

everyone else is just antsy to get in.

The SFC is too much for Assemblyman Jin.

How come?

It's a committee where they deal with the national budget of

trillions, all sorts of pension funds, taxes and monetary policies.

Even economic experts have hard times.

Do you think Assemblyman Jin can even understand?
