Segye Group's new Marketing Director.
Director Min Hee Jung's inauguration will begin.
(Min Hee Jung, Director Inauguration)
Many of you have come to make this place shine.
I thank you so much.
I am Segye Group's new director,
Min Hee Jung.
It has been five years since I have returned home.
It is quite overwhelming.
I...
pledge to use my time and strength...
fully on Segye Group.
To repeat Segye Group's...
glory...
You must have felt flustered.
You must have prepared for your speech for a long time.
But you're stuttering like this.
How dare you come here?

(High Jet, Hydrogen 1)
Ms. Kang, go ahead.
Leave this to me.
Stop!
Gosh.
Die!
Take that!
Let's stop, Yoo Mi.
I'm sorry.
To be honest,
I had a goal I wanted to achieve.
As I was just focused on that,
I couldn't take care of the ones around me.
- Let's... - No.
It was my fault.
It was my fault, Na Eon.
I always knew things went wrong.
But I didn't know what to do.
I'm so sorry.
I really don't know what to do.
Ta-da.
I like you so much.
I think that is why I hate you so much.
You couldn't even handle it, you fool.
Stay right here.
I'm sorry. I took too long, right?
It's okay.
Die!
Please help us.
Gosh.
But...
how did you know we were here?
Please do me a big favor as a senior.
Am I crazy?
I know that you and Yoo Mi took the High Jet presentation.
How may I help you, my junior?
Na Eon.
Here.
It was a good thing I prepared another one.
Will this be enough?
It won't be perfect,
but it will be a fatal blow.
How dare you come here?
Right.
How dare you...
stand in this position?
I will ask Director Hwang.
Do you really think...
five years or now,
that the only way to cover up your controversy...
is with a bigger controversy?
Well...
Why would you ask me that?
I don't understand.
I guess it could work right now.
But...
the misunderstanding that people have about you...
won't be solved.
For example,
a drug addict born with a silver spoon in his mouth...
that solves everything with money.
Turns out he has ten children born out of wedlock in Europe.
These sorts of stories.
Ms. Kang. What is it that you want to say?
What if I am to give you a chance...
to overcome them and live a new life?
Won't that prove my right...
to take this place?
(Seongsu-dong Localizing Project)
Must branding be done...
by just a major company?
(Theater Seongsu)
(Mom's Hand Box Lunch)
(Grandma Jung's Gukbap)
(Miso Hair)
Seongsu Agency's rebranding.
The localizing project...
will help discover genuine things...
like food, items, culture, and hidden stories...
that have not been popular in Seongsu.
The investment, distribution, and promotion...
for the small business owners who are our partners...
will be done by Segye Group.
Additionally,
as Seongsu Agency's mascot,
the warm and friendly senior of the area,
it's Mr. Hwang Je Ha.
The mischievous rich owner with a friendly image.
What do you think?
Very nice. I love it.
What nonsense is this?
Kang Na Eon is a criminal.
We must call the police...
Get rid of him.
Especially him.
I got involved with So Eun Ho way too much.
The incident of five years ago and XU Beauty pop-up.
So it was all your doing to trample on Kang Na Eon.
Right.
She didn't even feel grateful for me letting her grow this much.
She really got on my nerves.
I went through so much because of her.
I had to make up Director Hwang's drug issue and cover it up.
Bandi Candle ended up like that too.
But she couldn't understand me...
and tried to do too much in the last five years.
This is all fake.
It's slander!
At XU Beauty,
Kang Na Eon should've died.
She came back alive and cause all of this fuss.
I had make up the story about the child born out of wedlock.
What the...
Is this real?
What a mess.
Director Hwang! Give me just a moment!
It's a misunderstanding!
Director Hwang!
I feel so happy.
It's a misunderstanding! Director Hwang!
Voice files can be manipulated. Please.
Please listen to me, Director Hwang.
Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding?
- Everything is fake. - Fake?
Please listen to me.
How can I trust you now?
It was all fake.
It's not fake.
I pushed Manager Kang Na Eon at XU Beauty.
All of this...
was done under CEO Min Hee Jung.
I will diligently participate in the investigation...
and pay the price.
Kang Na Eon!
Kang Na Eon.
How could you do this to me?
What's wrong?
I'm returning...
the things you did to me.
It's all over now.
Let's go and get punished.
Punished because it's over?
Says who?
Everything will get revealed from the investigation.
Let me tell you this first.
I killed...
your girlfriend.
It was because of you.
Keep this in mind forever.
Stop.
You keep it in mind too.
It's all your fault.
Don't listen to her, So Eun Ho.
So Eun Ho.
So you confessed everything with your own lips.
Things will move swiftly thanks to you.
I'm not the same type of person as you.
Gosh.
This is one crazy family.
Ms. Min Hee Jung.
You will get arrested for inciting murder.
Arrest her.
Let go of me. Let go!
Let go of me!
I think you must come with us too, Mr. Cha Jung Woo.
Okay.
Let's get going.
You did well to hold it in.
I knew it was weird.
As soon as the article came up,
CEO Min gave me a solution.
That just felt so suspicious.
I'm serious.
Anyway...
Manager Kang's project. I love it.
Very kind and friendly like the Gen MZers.
Anyway...
Starting from next week, finish this project for me.
Under the name of SSA.
It will be hard for me for a while.
There's the case that CEO Min brought up.
My image is way down there right now.
I think it'll be a bad influence to the project.
A controversy...
must be covered with a bigger controversy.
(Personnel Appointments)
(Kang Na Eon, CEO, Nam Byul, Resigned)
- What's going on? - Just wait.
- Be careful. - What's going on?
Just a moment.
One, two, three.
- Ta-da! - Ta-da!
Congratulations!
Yes!
Congratulations, CEO Kang!
(CEO Kang Na Eon appears!)
"CEO Kang Na Eon appears!"
My goodness. I can't believe this.
Kang Na Eon tore it up!
- Where are you going? - My room.
We got rid of your room.
- What? - Don't you know open management?
It's the trend for the CEO to work with the employees.
But won't it be better for you...
for us to be separated?
- No! - No!
This will become a big hit.
The youngest CEO in the marketing industry...
and her shocking open management.
I need to post this up.
Let's take a picture!
Get in.
All right. Manager Nam, you have to get out.
I'm leaving.
All right. In 1, 2, 3.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
What should I post? This one or this one?
- Should I post this one? - Yes.
This one?
Shall we cut the cake?
- Yes! - Let's do that!
Is it because of Min Hee Jung?
Yes.
So...
I wanted to ask you.
I think I need some time.
I don't want to become like Min Hee Jung,
but whenever I think of what she said,
I keep having other thoughts that aren't from me.
Eun Ho.
I...
I'll be back soon.
(Around 1 year later)
(2025 Newcomer Welcome Party)
This is the lobby.
The structure is a shared office on different floors.
And when you enter,
you must have this card around your neck...
to be able to enter.
- Awesome! - You look amazing.
Shall we move to the art room?
- Yes. - Yes.
- Hello. - Hello.
Look at how excited they are.
They're so cute.
Are there no handsome guys this year?
None.
Eun Ho was sensational.
Gosh. He was revolutionary.
I miss Eun Ho.
He was daring.
By the way, has Manager Kang... No.
Did CEO Kang have lunch?
She went for a meeting with Manager Yoo Mi.
I'm sorry.
(One Two Agency Nam Byul)
I was supposed to tell you the changed meeting time.
- I forgot. - Manager Nam, this punk.
He went to our rival company and he's still acting like that.
I'm sorry, Na Eon.
I should've checked the meeting time better.
Yoo Mi.
Yes?
It's not your fault.
- Sir. - Yes?
Please drop us off at the next traffic light.
Okay.
Let's walk. The weather seems great too.
Na Eon.
What should we have for lunch?
Do you want to go to my boyfriend's restaurant?
It's right around the corner.
They got the Blue Ribbon recently.
Enjoy the food. I already have plans.
What a bummer. I wanted to introduce him to you.
I'm sorry. Get going.
- I'll be off. - Okay.
Time flies.
It has already been that long.
What is it that you want to tell me?
I'm going to stop harassing you.
I'm sorry, Na Eon.
Give me just a minute, Cha Jung Woo.
(Shared Office 6)
(So Eun Ho)
Sweetheart.
What is this?
We came to make you feel better.
Energy boost!
Eun Ho will appear soon.
We should get this solved first.
It's a new brand in Seongsu.
They're insisting on holding a pop-up...
in a handmade shoe factory.
The CEO was so sexy.
So I got an appointment in a dirty manner.
It'll be tomorrow morning.
What?
Gosh, he must be really sexy.
We'll know once we visit.
Right.
We must go.
The handmade shoe factory area aren't used for pop-ups.
We will not go against Seongsu's...
I heard CEO Kang...
was someone who does anything for a brand.
I guess I'm wrong.
Gosh.
I told you I was going to come back.
You took a bit too long.
But sir,
we're quite pricey.
What will you do if we proceed with the branding?
I'll give you my everything.
Including my soul.
All that I have.
