Kkondae Intern (Old School Intern / 꼰대인턴)

(Internship, Ssukussuku, June 2019 to December 2019)

You did an internship at Ssukussuku.

I see. Ssukussuku in Indonesia?

Yes, I'm a guy who has had quite a lot of ramyeon in Indonesia.

Indonesia is big on ramyeon,

recording the second place in the world ramyeon consumption.

They eat about 12.5 billion ramyeon in a year.

And Ssukussuku dominates 70 percent of that huge industry.

Okay. He's our guy.

Hello! I'm Lee Tae Lee.

You're right.

My name sounds like "Italy", Lee Tae Lee.

But I haven't been there yet.

Nice to meet you.

Tae Lee, Tae Lee, Lee Tae Lee.

What's with this awful introduction?

I see.

- Ms. Lee? - Yes?

Why is your hair dyed in that color?

Don't you know what ombre hair is?

This is the hottest style right now.

I believe people who make food...

should be sensitive about trends.

Not only that, but we should also be the leaders who make trends.

You fail.

Ombre has been out for a while.

He... Hello.

I'm Joo Yoon Soo. Nice to meet you.

Why does he sound like a goat?

What do you think about our Spicy Chicken Ramyeon?

Well...

May I be honest?

Sure.

Why do people like something that's painfully spicy?

You fail.

What are you doing?

What about that kkondae?

I'm meeting him tonight.

How dare a company like Joonsu Food...

call out a man who's with the great Ongol?

How dare you?

Goodness, Man Sic. You still got your game.

You and your Ongol pride.

Drink up.

People will get suspicious...

if you and I sit around like this.

They'll think we're in league or one of us is an industrial spy.

Don't you know that people talk?

Hey.

You said you quit. What are you so worried about?

Drink up.

So what is it?

Man Sic.

Do you want to work for our company?

Darn it.

What?

Are you telling me to become a traitor?

You're hardly a traitor.

Your country abandoned you first.

Once your country abandons you,

you abandon your country too.

So? Will you trust me...

and get a fresh start in a new country?

You know what? Joonsu Food copied everything we made!

- Hey, man! - What? We didn't copy anything.

You always say Joonsu Food copied everything you made!

Hey!

You jerk! If you're that good, why did you copy...

King Jjambbong?

Hey, no matter how much you people try to copy it,

you can't recreate that flavor.

This is... This is why people like the original stuff better.

- Do you know what that means? - Hey, you jerk.

We didn't copy anything, you jerk.

Listen to this guy.

Hey, everyone in this industry can think of jjambbong ramyeon.

Is that why you copied ours?

- What? - You copied Jjapaguri...

and made Dripping Chunjang.

You jerk. Are you all finished?

Yes, so what? I'm all done.

You make something ridiculous like Dripping Chunjang.

How dare you stand up against this Lee Man Sic?

I wouldn't work there even if I was a board member!

What? An internship?

An internship?

Go play badminton, you jerk.

Intern, badminton?

Internship, my foot.

Hey, that's my jacket, you thief!

What's with you?

This guy copied every single product we made.

This guy got fired from Ongol.

Hey, man. Come here.

It's not just an internship.

It's a pre-employment internship.

Call me if you change your mind.

How long have you been working here?

About three years now.

Over the last three years,

did you ever think that you work for...

such a great company?

No, I often thought that I work for...

such an awful company.

Back when I worked for my old company,

it'd get steaming hot outside,

but I'd sit in my office with the air conditioner blowing on max.

That was one time when I had a thought...

I work for a great company.

You should forget those days as soon as possible.

How can someone park here?

Where is he? Where are the guards?

- Guards! - Darn it.

- Guards! - We should go.

You don't see him, do you?

See? I'm working for such an awful company.

- Guards! - We're running late.

- My gosh. - Goodness.

Hey, what is this?

Are you sure you persuaded him?

Gosh, it's...

We did get into a bit of a quarrel.

Hey.

- You're late. - I'm sorry.

Mr. Lee Man Sic.

Yes, sir.

Hello!

I'm the senior intern...

who'll begin as of today, Lee Man Sic.

Why are you here, Mr. Lee?

Who are you?

Do you know me?

You're...

You're...

- I can work somewhere else. - Man Sic, don't go anywhere.

- Let me go! - My goodness, man.

Hey! Come on.

Do you expect me to work for that kid?

Is that why you asked me so much about Ga Yeol Chan?

What kind of nonsense is this?

Hey. Calm down, okay?

- Okay? - Darn it.

Do you know him?

Who is this man...

that you want to pressure the human resources...

without staying within your boundaries?

- It's not like that... - I know it's you,

but you can't do that.

I was complimented for once by our chairman...

after I suggested we implement a senior internship.

So it doesn't matter even if this is you.

I can't call this off.

Then I'll have to understand.

You shouldn't be focused on saving face.

I heard you spent all your severance pay...

on your ill parent.

You won't be an intern forever.

You know that our company has a high percentage...

of turning contract workers into full-time employees.

I work directly under the CEO.

I'll help you.

Why?

Why are you doing this?

Because I'm afraid.

As long as he's here, I won't be able to get a promotion.

Let's oust Yeol Chan and climb up the ladder together.

What do you say, Man Sic?

Hey, is he that powerful?

I don't know what he did,

but the chairman dotes on him.

Rumors say that not only did he give him a house and a car,

but also some of his stocks.

How did he become so successful?

The CEO would like to see you soon.

You haven't quit your job?

How dare you join us? How dare you?

Hey, get rid of that thing.

That useless idiot. Why did you call him here?

Who called him?

Hey, did you call him? Why would you?

What year were you guys born in?

I was born in 1993.

I was born in 1992.

I see.

Since you guys are younger than me, I'll speak casually.

- Okay. - Okay.

I'm not trying to intimidate you.

It's just more convenient when teaching things to my juniors.

By the way, what year were you born in?

Why would you ask that?

I was born in 1992.

- Sorry? - What?

- Sorry? - What?

I was born near the beginning of 1992.

He was born in 1992?

By the way, may I ask you your age?

People live up to 100 years these days. I'm still young.

You don't have to be so formal with me.

Just call me sir.

Right.
