– It’s strange ㅡ I can’t hide it this heart ㅡ What should I do ㅡㅡ
From the video, Lee SamSoon’s figure of singing and high five-ing the crowd flowed out.
The figure of Lee SamSoon going into the crowd, having fun and even playing around with them broke their impressions of the ‘countryside’ Lee SamSoon. The boyish charm kept attracting attention.
KangYoon spoke while the video was playing.
“Lee SamSoon has a charm which attracts the crowd. If it’s like that on the street, then I think I don’t even need to mention her star quality. I selected her due to this possibility. An ingenuous country girl, but a 180 degrees turnaround when she grabs the microphone, an onion like girl who has a new side to her the more you peel. There are countless marketable elements. I think it’s a loss for the company to let this opportunity go.”
As if it was all planned, the video ended as KangYoon finished speaking. Silence flowed for a moment. The Directors all whispered to each other to share their opinions.
Director Jung HyunTae, who was enduring his anger, seemed to have calmed down as he spoke quite calmly.
“First, I applaud Team Leader Lee for digging out a talented trainee like that.”
“Thank you.”
“To think you dug out a buried trainee like that… I feel that your eyes are amazing. Even so, if we consider time and money, I think it’s better to use an already bloomed talent rather than blooming hidden talents. Isn’t it good if we can catch the preparation period, funding, and even the intention of planning?”
KangYoon instantly realized Director Jung HyunTae’s intentions. He indirectly said what he said last time in his office. It was just toned down, but he was basically saying – ‘why don’t we change her?’. KangYoon endured the fire flaring inside his heart and calmly spoke.
“The time now is not the time for saving but a time for investment. Wasn’t MG Entertainment a company which invested in its singers in the beginning, no matter who the singer was?”
“E… even so, isn’t it better if we save and bring out the same effect? Please consider it. Everyone, I know a good trainee.”
This time, Director Jung HyunTae tried to induce agreement from other people, but everyone just clicked their tongues. KangYoon decided to strike the nail. A breach of rights like this would surely happen again in the future. KangYoon put down the laser pointer he was holding.
“Director. I provided a reason and sufficient proof that trainee Lee SamSoon has the ability and the possibility for growth. I will consider it if you provide me a clear reason. However, isn’t saying that Lee SamSoon is no good right now the same as not having listened to my story? I think this is no good.”
“Wha… What?!”
Director Jung HyunTae’s voice rose abruptly. However, KangYoon was still calm.
“Please tell me the reason why you recommend that trainee. Then, I will compare her with trainee Lee SamSoon and consider a more worthy selection. This is my job. If the directors have the rights to approve and disapprove, then the rights for selection is mine. I appreciate the advice you gave me, but I respectfully decline your request.”
“Wha, What?! You?!”
Director Jung HyunTae abruptly rose up from his seat. KangYoon spoke calmly, but he was basically saying ‘you don’t have any reason behind your words’. This was an insult. A conference where the one with the biggest voice won only happened in small companies. It didn’t work in a place like this.
“Sit. Director Jung.”
“I…. I’m sorry.”
“See me later.”
