“To sum up, the scandal will happen, and due to that there will be a blank on the 2nd week of December, which is, according to our schedule, should be our time. But currently, it’s the beginning of December. Considering the characteristics of reporters, they should be releasing the article as soon as possible. Will it be able to affect the comeback on the 2nd week?”
“No matter how much a new paper is resolute, if the entertainment companies pressure them, they need to reveal that they are going to release the article. Considering that time, the release date of the article is around… the 2nd week of December.”
KangYoon’s explanation ended. The Directors had their own opinions. The core part was the comeback stages. The risk was high but the merits were huge too. However, preparing for risks was necessary so Chairman Won JinMoon asked.
“What happens if the Music Station stage fails?”
“At that time, we will delay the debut. We are hurrying to match our schedule with Music Station but if we are given one more month, we can prepare more meticulously. It’s just that we won’t be able to expect the impact Christmas and New Year’s would give.”
The impact that New Year’s and Christmas give is very big. It’s because it leaves a strong impression on the people. KangYoon was planning to use all of these.
After that, KangYoon explained the plan B (when Music Station fails), and the presentation was over. The Directors applauded towards KangYoon who just ended the presentation. After exchanging words of well wishing, the directors left the conference venue, one by one.
“That was a great presentation.”
Chairman Won JinMoon clapped at KangYoon who was cleaning up afterwards. It seemed as if the impression from the presentation still remained in his head, as he was smiling the entire time.
“Thank you for your work, sir.”
“You did the work. That was a great presentation. Especially, the Music Station strategy was dangerous, and at the same time, fresh. To think to use a scandal… You… were a scary guy, huh.”
“I just acted according to the situation.”
He didn’t directly reported the scandal to the new agency or any other underhanded tricks like those. However, he used the seeds he sowed. He made an opportunity to become big without making enemies. Chairman Won JinMoon was sure of the fact that should this strategy succeed, it will bring about a huge effect.
Of course, the risks were as big as the effect so being excited was forbidden.
“You know HyunJi.”
“Sorry?”
“I mean President Lee.”
When he heard just the name, KangYoon was confused for a moment. When Chairman Won JinMoon explained, he understood then and he shrugged his shoulders.
“HyunJi is marking you.”
“The president is?”
“HyunJi is picky with people. She prioritizes work over people, so there’s not much people around her. But she would cover anyone she deems is on her side. President Lee seems to have marked you. Whether it was the reports you submitted or the broadcasting materials, she is looking over every one of them carefully. While there is the fact that we’re advancing overseas, she is paying attention to you for more than just that.”
Should he be happy or not… KangYoon did an empty laugh. To be marked by the president, he didn’t know what expression he should have.
“The presentation is over so, there’s only the rehearsal before going to Japan, huh.”
“That is so.”
“How is it? Is the preparation going well?”
