“Would you like a cup of coffee?”
Chairman Won JinMoon offered KangYoon, who was looking at paperwork in the corner, a can of coffee.
“Thank you, Chairman.”
“Everyone’s resting, but you are not letting go of work… May I?”
“Of course, please sit.”
KangYoon covered the paperwork he was looking at when Chairman Won JinMoon sat down next to him.
“Do you know the rumor about you?”
“A rumor, sir?”
“Work-man. You’re known for carrying paperwork with you, whether it’s in the resting lounge or in the office, so people call you work-man.”
“It’s certainly better than mymy.”[2]
KangYoon laughed. It meant that he was working hard, so he didn’t mind it.
“Has it been four months since you came to this company?”
“It has been that long already, huh. I came in during the summer, so there’s not much left of this year.”
“Yes. So when is the album coming out?”
“I am thinking December, around the second week.”
“So there’s not even two months, even if we count this month. You must be busy. Isn’t it fine for you to release it next year? Is there a reason for you to release it within this year? I think you’re aiming for the Christmas season, but you will have to compete with the big singers of Japan.”
Do you stand a chance against the big singers of Japan? – This was his meaning. However, KangYoon confidently replied:
“It’s alright. Instead, we will only see results if we release it then.”
“Can I ask you for the reason?”
KangYoon hesitated a bit.
‘Like the chairman says, two big singers came out. The male idol group Eiden and the female idol group Hydrea. However, the two leaders of these groups get mixed up in a scandal, a big scandal where they get photographed in front of the hotel. So they ended up ruining the Christmas marketing and delayed their comeback stage too. The singers who prepared comebacks at a later time, while thinking that these two were going to have their comebacks, were all dumbfounded and made a comeback hurriedly, but Christmas ended up being blank. We are using this opportunity.’
