100 PERCENT PURE CARBONIC ACID
THIS IS THE TASTE OF TRUE BEER
Yes. The story will be published shortly, at around 7 a.m.
But I said to Despatch, "Interlocking fingers doesn't mean they're dating.
Ask anyone you see on the streets."
And if you look closely, they aren't interlocked.
You're holding his wrist.
So I said, "They're obviously not dating." I strongly denied it,
and we concluded that you two are good friends who like to pull pranks.
You call that a prank?
Yes. I told them you two are very close and that's how you usually fool around...
I mean, that's how you two usually hang out.
THOSE TWO ARE DEFINITELY DATING
Right.
We were close.
Although it's all over now.
PLEASE LET ME JUST GO HOME
All right.
It already happened, so it's fine.
It's all good,
but can you do something about the blur effect?
Should I tell them to blur your face more?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
They blurred my earrings too.
It's the accessory item I'm promoting the hardest out of the whole collection.
The blur effect should be... How shall I put this?
Can they carefully shrink it so that the earrings show right away?
Actually, a full shot would be better.
That way, people can see my purse
-and shoes too. -Got it.
Purchasing Manager. What should you do, then?
-Pardon me? -The earrings, purse, and shoes.
You need to secure enough stock.
Orders will pile up when they start trending.
Okay.
Who is she? What's with all this fuss?
Isn't that her? The woman who's supposedly dating actor Cha Sang-u?
You're right. Does she think she's a celebrity? Why bring bodyguards?
She's not even that pretty.
-He deserves better. -I bet it's her money.
I feel like I'm getting way more attention than I usually do.
Why did you hire these bodyguards?
Oh, in case Cha Sang-u's angry fans may attack you...
"Angry fans"?
Why? I'm the one who should be angry, not them.
Ms. Yoon, please calm down.
We did half of our yearly revenue in just one day.
The stock price is going up too.
Look at you. Are you a celebrity or what?
Who's this?
Your eldest brother!
She doesn't even have her brother's number? That rude stuck-up.
Why did you call?
Hey. Last time, it was a baseball player.
-A soccer player. -I mean, a soccer player.
And this time, it's an idol singer?
-No, an actor. -It's an actor?
So? Is that why you called?
You probably don't care to know what's going on
with our family because you're too busy embarrassing us,
but didn't you see the news?
Dad's being released on probation today.
I don't care whether or not
-but shouldn't you come by today? -Is this your number?
Yes, it is. Can you save it, for heaven's sake?
Don't change your number.
It'd be a hassle to have to block it twice.
BLOCK NUMBER
-Damn it. -Did she hang up on you again?
-This little brat. -Just leave her be.
It's been years since Se-ri estranged the whole family. Don't bother.
I only called her because Dad wanted me to.
By the way, why did Father summon all of us today?
That must be it, right?
-Announcing the heir. -Announcing the heir.
Chairman Yoon Jeung-pyeong of Queens Group,
who was arrested in March for violating the Act on
Aggravated Punishment
of Economic Crimes, has been released on probation after 283 days.
Chairman Yoon has announced that he will be stepping down,
so all eyes are on who, between his eldest son, Yoon Se-jun,
and his second eldest son, Yoon Se-hyeong,
will end up taking over the leadership of the group.
-Sir. -Here he comes.
-Please say a few words. -A comment, please.
-Please tell us! -Just a comment, please!
What is this?
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RELEASE
Father, I made this tofu cake
to congratulate you on your release.
My wife is the best.
-Congratulations, Dad. -Congratulations!
You seem to be in a great mood today.
I'm so happy that Father is finally out of jail.
People are only interested in the power dynamics among the siblings
and who will end up inheriting the company.
I mean, what's wrong with people?
I guess they think rich people like us don't even have families.
We're so close, you know.
Right, Sang-a?
Yes, of course.
Oh, right. Se-jun, you had a fistfight with the labor union leader.
Has it all been sorted out?
They're in the process of reaching a settlement, peacefully.
It can happen when two guys are trying to talk things out.
Exactly, it happens.
By the way, Sang-a,
I heard Se-hyeong got duped by an investment scam.
When?
What can you do about the stock price plunging 50 percent?
But the fact that people are questioning your leadership skills and qualifications
makes me so angry.
Just because you fell victim to a high-value fraud, people call you
an idiot and treat you like a retard.
Who's calling my brother an idiot?
-I heard-- -It's not a fraud.
I just can't get a hold of my friend at the moment. That's all.
Take care of it,
or all the shareholders will sue you.
Mind your own business.
Dad, Se-jun beat up the union leader and broke his tooth.
I promised him that I'll pay for his dental implant.
-Are you boasting? -You think I am, retard?
-What? You prick. -How dare you call me a prick!
-Where is Se-ri? -You...
Did you not get the message that I wanted Se-ri here today?
I tried getting in touch with her many times,
but it looks like that brat
blocked my number.
Dad, congratulations on getting out on probation.
I heard you wanted me to be here today. Is there something you'd like to say?
You should
move back in.
Is that it?
I was wondering why.
You look great.
Look after your health.
I came and said hi, so I'll get going.
I want you to take over my position.
-Dad. -Father.
Honey.
Listen.
You left home and started your own company ten years ago.
I've definitely seen what you can do.
So,
I want you to run the company in my place.
-Okay, I'll do that. -Hey.
-You brat, you don't know anything! -That's right!
If I'm your successor, will I have
the authority to appoint new CEOs for our subsidiaries?
Of course, you will.
That's great.
I always thought that a few of the CEOs are underqualified.
For instance, those who tend to clash with their employees
and those who often get sued
or have caused the company great damage due to their own ignorance.
We should fire such CEOs without any hesitation.
I'll leave it to you.
Thank you.
Give me some time though.
My company recently launched an extreme-sports apparel line,
so it's grown even bigger.
I'll look for a good management specialist.
All right. Can you meet me in my office tomorrow?
Tomorrow, I can't.
We're doing the final test on an important new product.
Then,
I plan to announce it at the upcoming general shareholders' meeting,
so let's meet before that.
Okay.
Then enjoy your dinner, everyone.
You might get indigestion if I stay. I'm leaving.
Ms. Yoon, when did you learn paragliding?
Did I not tell you?
I got my certification in Interlaken when I went to Switzerland.
Oh, I see. We could've tested it and just submitted
a report to you. You didn't have to do this yourself.
It looks like I'll get quite busy.
I'm in a rush because I need to climb someplace.
"Climb"? Where?
High up.
You're already in a high place. So you mean, even higher?
As early as tomorrow morning,
you'll see my name all over the news.
Don't be too surprised.
Will it be another dating scandal?
No.
All right. Shall we get started?
The wind is quite strong though.
We've checked the weather forecast, but will you be all right?
Mr. Hong.
Why does the wind blow?
Well, I'm not sure.
It's blowing to move on,
not to stay.
The wind needs to keep moving
for me to fly.
Ms. Yoon, please be careful!
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
