The Handmade Shoes Street in Seongsu-dong.
The first-generation handmade shoe factory...
that had been there for decades...
finally settled to sell the factory after much debate.
Seongsu-dong used to be an industrial area in the past,
but it's now called the hippest area of Seoul,
where such industrial vibes and culture coexist.
XU Beauty is planning to open its new pop-up store...
at this prime location in Seongsu-dong.
The public is showing immense interest...
in XU Beauty's pop-up store...
and the company's future plans to expand into the global market.

- Hello, sir. You're here. - Yes, hello.
My, this looks pretty nice.
Of course, it looks nice.
Let's go inside.
We used these steel facades...
to showcase the original texture of the exterior walls.
My gosh. I didn't know you'd decorate the space like this.
This is interesting.
I'm sure you already noticed it on our way up here.
To really showcase our eco-friendly concept,
we brought in all the plants to portray the space as a forest.
Let's go inside.
- Welcome. - Come on in.
- Hello. - Hello.
The key theme of this pop-up store is "Five Senses."
The visitors will experience XU Beauty's new line...
with their five senses.
The media art on the second floor...
makes everyone feel as though...
they're strolling in a forest.
This way, please.
What is that?
Shall we go down and see?
On the first floor, customers...
can dive into the mysterious beauty of nature.
- My gosh. That's so pretty. - Look at that.
- This space is so cool. - Oh, my.
Welcome to the unknown sea.
I knew...
you wouldn't disappoint me, Ms. Kang.
This hydrating face cream containing purified deep sea water...
is the key product of the line.
Ms. Kang.
It looks like you'll join Segye Group's head office very soon.
I am flattered.
My gosh. Isn't this so cool?
I feel like I'm underwater now. How cool is this?
XU Beauty's pop-up store opened today,
and it's already the talk of the town.
The tickets for the after-party...
which will take place tonight all sold out a week ago,
which tells us how popular the event is.
The photo booth in the main space at the pop-up store...
is already seen in so many photos on social media...
as countless visitors keep posting pictures taken in the space,
which are capturing the public's attention.
While in the space, visitors feel as though...
they're underwater in the sea.
All the visitors highly praised the concept,
saying it was perfect...
for the vegan branding behind XU Beauty's new line.
This week, we will check out XU Beauty's...
- Hey, hold up your bunny mask. - Okay.
All right. Here comes the boomerang.
- Oh, my. - Hey, look.
- My gosh, look at her. - She's so pretty.
Hey, let's take pictures.
Hey, let's follow her. Go.
- Hey! - Hurry.
Hey, Yoo Mi!
Let's take some pictures together.
I'm sorry, but there's an age limit on who can be in my photos.
I'm hurt.
I know everything about you.
Sorry?
Yoo Mi.
I know you like Jung Woo.
But Jung Woo...
likes Na Eon.
The three of you joined the company together.
Talk about a love triangle!
Cut the nonsense.
What? Come on!
Hey, Mr. Popular!
- Let me borrow him for a moment. - Sure.
Hey, rumor has it that you and Yoo Mi slept together.
Is it true?
What are you doing?
What?
Can you not do such a thing...
because you have feelings for Kang Na Eon?
- That's enough, okay? - What are you going to do?
It looks like things are going well between Na Eon and that intern.
Mr. Cha!
- Mr. Cha! - Mr. Cha!
There you are. We looked everywhere for you.
- I'll pass. - Let's have a drink. Come on.
- Let's go. - Have a drink with us.
- Yes, come on. - Let's go!
I didn't think you'd come.
As an intern, I had no choice.
I didn't do it because I hate you.
It's just how this industry works.
So just accept it.
I hate you.
They say there is...
nothing scarier than having an anti-fan who used to be your fan.
The things you said to me.
I'll never forget them.
You said you could even sell your soul.
I'll bet my soul too.
So please,
give me a permanent position in the company...
so I can...
fight you, fair and square.
No.
You're fired.
I'd made a backup just in case,
and I'm glad I did.
People said you ruthlessly ditched those...
you deemed useless.
So?
What is it...
that you want?
You.

- Hello? - I'm Reporter Sung Il Hyun.
Ms. Kang Na Eon, right?
XU Beauty's marketing and claim...
that its new line was cruelty-free...
all turned out to be false.
XU Beauty has been running...
large-scale animal testing programs at its factory.
The police have launched an investigation into the case,
but some suspect that they have been using animal ingredients as well,
which is fueling the criticism about XU Beauty.
Why did you market it as a vegan brand?
Was everything a lie?
Please give us a comment.
- A comment, please! - Say a few words!
- Is there anything you want to say? - Just a comment.
All we did...
was follow Ms. Kang Na Eon's instructions.

(So Eun Ho)
So, you're not taking disciplinary action.
The fact that you called a board meeting means you want me out.
Don't take it personally.
We're struggling to stop a consumer group from suing us.
We cannot let a mere subsidiary...
ruin the group's image.
So you won't look into whether it's true...
Look into what? The truth is right before our eyes.
You've been having your secret rendezvous with XU's CEO.
That is the truth.
Thank you for your hard work.
Please let us meet Ms. Kang Na Eon!
Where is she now?
We have no idea either!
- You're wasting your time here. - Move!
- Hurry! - Where is she?
- Can you confirm that it's true? - Don't push!
Don't waste your time here. You should all leave!
- Where is Ms. Kang? - Where is she?
- Where is she now?
- Stop pushing! - Do you know if...
Mr. Cha, come quickly. You need to see this.
What is this, a public execution?
Did they really have to announce it like that on that huge screen?
We have to deal with this before our internship is over?
By the way, where is Eun Ho?
I wonder too.
There were rumors about him dating Ms. Kang.
Did he get fired too?
What?
- Sorry. - Sorry.
- We apologize. - We're sorry.

(Kang Na Eon, Marketing Manager, Dismissed)
Then was it all a lie?
- Who sent in the tip-off? - I really can't believe this.
(Team Manager Kang Na Eon)
I deleted all the videos that Eun Ho had.
So, who did this?
I'd made a backup just in case,
and I'm glad I did.

Why did you do that?
- Why did you do that? - Why did you do that?
- Why did you do such a thing? - Why did you do it?
- Why did you do that? - Why?
- Why did you do that? - Why did you do that?
- Why did you do that to me? - Why did you do such a thing?
- Why? - Why did you do that to me?
And I'm glad I did.
So?
What is it...
that you want?
You.
Your soul too.
All of it.
