Hello, sir.
This is Director Han.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- Take a seat. - Right.
I heard Segye International and Seongsu Agency...
were up for a big match.
Sorry for the family trouble.
Not at all.
It's not like our hydrogen battery technology will go anywhere.
I don't think we'll lose anything...
whoever wins.
What happened?
Is it over just like this?
If Ms. Kang can't find a way,
it's all over.
What do we do?
Sweetheart?
Where's has the fighting spirit you had for me gone?
You said you wanted a fair fight.
How do you have that?
Living with enemies around you...
is harder than it looks.
If you want to reach your goal,
you must use anything you can.
Do the presentation with this.
Why are you giving me this?
Because you're Kang Na Eon right now.
It isn't for you.
It's for me.
Director Han said...
there's evidence in here that can be used against you.
If I were to get punished for this,
that also...
will be for me.
- High Jet? - It's not HQ Motors.
Why does my sweetheart have this?
(Kim Ji Eun, Lomon)
(Yang Hye Ji, Kim Ho Young)
(Branding in Seongsu)
Now,
we will begin with Seongsu Agency's Manager Kang Na Eon.
Ms. Kang?
I believe something has happened to Manager Kang Na Eon.
- Manager So Eun Ho will go... - That can't happen.
Doesn't that make her...
eliminated?
I'm sorry.
We ran a little late due to a minor issue.
We will begin with the presentation right away.
Jenny.
(High Jet)
(High Jet, Korea's first-ever liquid hydrogen battery developer)
Do you see the company's name of High Jet?
What?
High Jet is a company that has used only Korean technology...
to develop a liquid hydrogen battery used for vehicles...
in Korea for the first time.
But why does HQ Motors have the title...
of being the first developer...
of Korea's first-ever liquid hydrogen battery?
Make her stop.
- Right. - Right.
- Where do you think you're going? - You can't go in there.
- Gosh! - What are you doing?
Our team has visited CEO Choi Chang Joo...
to find out about the truth of the first liquid hydrogen battery.
Well, there seem to be some technical difficulties.
We'll pause with the presentation for now.
No. We're fine.
This happens quite often during presentations.
But from now on,
please focus on what I am about to say.
Since a very young age,
this boy loved cars.
- Here I go. - He was influenced greatly...
by his father who worked at a repair shop.
As a proud son of his father,
he managed to develop Korea's first liquid hydrogen battery.
It worked!
He was ready to commercialize this technology.
However, there was no one who listened to the words...
of a disabled small business CEO.
In the end, due to the lack of funds and power,
High Jet failed to commercialize this technology...
even after developing Korea's first liquid hydrogen battery.
You should stop with this nonsense.
This isn't nonsense.
High Jet?
Do you have the evidence that they developed the battery?
Will you all...
look toward the entrance?
This is High Jet's first-generation liquid hydrogen battery car.
And that is...
the first man who made Korea's first liquid hydrogen battery.
It's CEO Choi Chang Joo.
Chang Joo loves cars.
We do not want to use Korea's first liquid hydrogen battery...
for marketing.
The title for being the first can be a meaningless record...
that can be taken away just like this.
But instead,
we want to use CEO Choi Chang Joo's history for marketing.
Are you kidding me?
It's still just a small business with a CEO...
who is mentally challenged.
Someone who can't do anything on their own.
We won't leave him on his own.
I'm suggesting HQ Motors...
to buy High Jet's history of failure.
This is the branding idea I have for HQ Motors.
("HQ Motors Acquires Liquid Hydrogen Battery Company, High Jet")
("HQ Motors and High Jet, Indicator for Big and Small Coexistence")
Although it lacks power and funds,
High Jet has the right technology.
If HQ Motors confidently makes an investment,
this will be a much more meaningful branding item...
than millions of commercial ideas.
Sir, this is absolute nonsense.
The liquid hydrogen battery was developed by our...
Interesting.
Whether we developed it or not,
I want to buy High Jet's history.
But before that,
if we were the ones to steal the technology,
we must find the culprit.
Well...
Segye Group is dealing with...
the matters based on the stealing of technology.
Do not worry.
When I first met CEO Choi Chang Joo,
he seemed to know Director Han very well.
If you have just a hydrogen battery just this big,
it can move 100km.
(Director Han Yi Jae)
(Segye Group)
I looked into it and found out that Director Han...
was the one to snatch the branding request of High Jet...
that came to Seongsu Agency.
Look at this. We can hit it big with this one.
Hey, we might be able to use this.
Sir, that man...
used the relationship we had...
to threaten me.
What are you on about?
There was a similar technology,
but there was a leading company. I was telling you to be careful.
Don't you know what branding is?
You received quite a lot for your branding.
What?
(Mr. Han Yi Jae, bank account, normal deposit)
What are you doing right now?
I'm doing a presentation.
So HQ Motors can become a better brand.
It's called branding.
What are you doing?
You said you were curious...
what face Kang Na Eon would make.
I've always had the same face around you.
A face of pity.
This punk... What do you think you're doing?
All right.
Director Han, let's stop with the fuss here.
Segye International is already dealing with this matter.
But it is our issue, after all.
Let's solve this together.
Once things get sorted,
I will contact again you for the High Jet project.
See you again.
Sir...
You've been through so much until now.
Things will get solved now.
Thank you.
It was nice...
that the handsome guy took good care of me.
Eun Ho?
Gosh. Sweethearts, let's take him back home.
- Right. - You can stay here.
Great.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Are you ready?
Shall we talk?
By no means,
don't think that you're a good person after this.
Don't think that I have forgiven you as well.
You can give my body back.
What are you doing?
You'll find out once tomorrow comes.
What are you doing?
Me taking this...
is the same as giving it to you.
Na Eon. You haven't had dinner, right?
Coffee can't be considered as a meal.
What will you do without me?
There.
Why aren't you coming?
Right. It's too dark, isn't it?
Come on over.
Let's eat.
Have I...
really returned?
The incident five years ago.
What's the truth?
The truth?
It's simple.
The person responsible for everything.
Manager Kang Na Eon.
What makes the Bandi Candle different from others?
It smells great.
Could you be more specific?
It's a business secret.
You're great keeping things a secret.
You're amazing.
The Bandi Candle utilizes Korea's traditional scent-making method...
as a candle.
It's a project that aims to create an eco-friendly candle.
I've heard the name "Bandi" came from the natural light...
of a firefly. Am I right?
Na Eon?
I am currently in Segye Group's Marketing HQ.
I am brand marketer, Kang Na Eon.
I am filming this video to leave the truth...
about the Bandi Candle incident.
While working on Segye Group's independent candle brand, Charmant,
and its branding,
I came across the Bandi Candle.
I wanted to release Charmant...
through a collaboration project with Bandi Candle.
But while working on the project,
Segye Group removed the existence of Bandi Candle.
I clearly explained it was a collaboration.
- But why are they ignoring... - It's their method...
of putting the Marketing HQ in trouble.
Don't get shaken by it. Just carry on with it.
If something happens, I will take responsibility.
I was greatly involved in the Charmant project,
but I failed to stop this incident.
I turned a blind eye to it.
I can't do it, Hee Jung.
If anyone related to Bandi Candle gets a chance to see this,
I know I sound shameless,
but I really want to tell you this.
It was a great design...
and brand.
I give you my apology once again.
(Manager Kang Na Eon)
(On Sae Mi Ro)
This.
What is this?
What did you want me to do with this?
Take it...
and tell the world that Kang Na Eon was at fault?
Wasn't that what you wanted?
No.
I...
just thought...
a sincere apology would be enough.
But...
if you had already apologized back then,
what do I do now?
I really don't know.
I really don't.
So Eun Ho.
Segye International's Director Han Yi Jae is under...
an in-house investigation for an extortion of technology.
Based on Director Han Yi Jae's case,
many are claiming that a new bill for criminal punishment must be...
established for the tech extortion of big companies against start-ups.
My goodness, Director Han.
No.
You're just Mr. Han Yi Jae now.
Leave quietly.
HQ Motors has decided to work with High Jet.
HQ Motors has apologized for the tech extortion of High Jet.
Through big investments on High Jet,
HQ Motors has decided to become the leader of collaborating...
with a smaller business.
According to Segye Group's sources,
a promotion is expected for Manager Kang Na Eon...
who has made all of this possible.
(Personnel Appointments)
But why am I tearing up?
We're moving to Team One?
(Personnel Appointments)
What?
You want us to be in charge of planning a workshop event?
Yes. Is there a problem?
- No! - No!
Good luck,
my senior, Young Ae.
I will do my best!
- I will do my best. - I will do my best.
Right.
All employees must participate.
All employees must participate!
- Let's go. - What's wrong with you?
Workshops are so boring.
- Exactly. - And stop.
Lex, go to the Art Team...
and prepare images for the workshop.
Jenny, gather materials from social media...
and prepare games for the workshop.
And Eun Ho...
Isn't Eun Ho in Team One with us?
Right. But after the HQ Motors presentation,
he's nowhere to be seen.
Hey, call him right now.
I guess he has something to deal with.
You can't just say that and wait.
Manager Kang just wanted all employees...
to participate in the workshop.
What would happen if Eun Ho doesn't appear?
Does that make us end up in the basement again?
Gosh. Hurry up and call him.
He's not picking up.
You said you were going to send me the evidence. What happened?
(Y2N Hyun Soo)
I'll send you the first draft of the article on Kang Na Eon.
(Breaking: Manager Kang Na Eon of Controversial XU Beauty Incident")
("Real Culprit of Bandi Candle Incident 5 Years Ago")
So this is Eun Ho's place?
I think bugs will pop out.
It's so far up. I'm so exhausted.
- My gosh. - So...
There he is!
Sorry for coming this late.
- We were so disappointed. - That was too much.
People these days get disgusted by just hearing the word "workshop."
Of course. All you do is drink.
Goodness. Then shall we make a workshop with no alcohol?
How does that sound?
Are you going to stay here?
Of course.
Please leave.
Shall we knock him out?
Or shall we get him drunk...
and make him lose himself?
You should knock him over, Lex.
I told you to leave.
He wants us out.
Director Han who has hit rock bottom...
hasn't tried to kill me.
That means he's not the culprit.
Then who could it be?
I suffered for years thanks to you.
What a relief you're alive.
Sorry?
If you had died,
I would've been the culprit.
Someone who holds grudges against me for the incident of five years ago.
And...
the one...
took responsibility for everything.
I clearly explained it was a collaboration.
But why are they ignoring...
Na Eon.
Don't get shaken by it. Just carry on with it.
If something happens, I will take responsibility.
Are you admitting that you have copied the idea?
Segye Group has never...
stolen a start-up's idea.
Hee Jung.
What if these two...
had the same goal?
That's nice.
Isn't it time for Seongsu Agency...
to come back to Segye Group?
We should stop all of this family trouble.
You're right.
If we go through a merger, it will greatly increase...
Segye International's stock price.
Speaking of which,
I've been thinking about Kang Na Eon. I don't like her much,
but she's very hot these days.
How does making her the youngest board member sound?
This will get a lot more attention than what you mentioned.
Gosh, of course,
I will take care of you separately.
