“ah. yes.”

Ko Hyeon-se put on a meaningful expression and waited for the former managing director to speak.

“Anyway, there is a planning team, right? These people have their Gonzos, or rather, their egos.”

“ah. Yes.”

Go Hyun-se nodded.

“However, from the point of view of these people, it seemed to be a problem that could touch their pride. Because they’ve been doing it. And their performance has not been good for more than ten years.”

“ah. Yes. Well, because the market share has been stable.”

Ko Hyeon-se readily acknowledged that too.

“joy.”

uh

Rather, what surprised the former managing director was the fact that Ko Hyun-seok snorted.

“yes. But suddenly, when a YouTuber tells me to put my stomach in the project, it hurts my ego a lot.”

“ah.”

Go Hyun-se nodded slowly.

“Maybe.”

The former managing director, who was encouraged by those words, said.

“Our employees watched quite a bit of monitoring of the ＜Something No One Does＞ channel.”

I recited the name of the channel I checked again with Manager Lee Dae-hoon.

“…”

When the name of the channel was mentioned, people’s attention was focused.

Besides, it was quiet for a while.

There were directors who glanced at the faces of Ko Hyeon-se and Ko Hyeon-seok.

The former executive saw it and thought to himself.

‘joy. Did everyone know except me?’

It was at this moment that Manager Lee’s words felt more persuasive.

“I see.”

Ko Hyeon-se answered slowly.

“yes. But what kind of camper did you buy and decorate it as a mobile studio and keep uploading it? I knew it after receiving a report from the development manager.”

Still, the former managing director continued to say this just in case.

It’s not my opinion, it’s like ‘I’m just conveying the complaints coming up from below’.

“yes. I am enjoying it too.”

Ko Hyeon-se received it calmly.

For a moment, former managing director noticed Ko Hyeon-seok.

“…”

But I couldn’t read anything from his expression.

“What did the other board members think when they saw that?”

The former managing director asked the others.

But no one reacted in any way.

The directors who met eyes with the former managing director could only shrug their shoulders.

‘Why are you looking at me?’

“What do you think? I’m not sure what your question is about.”

Still, one of the directors accepted it like this.

The former managing director said, feeling pleased with the words.

“No, there is no way that our L Motors could make a camper. But what should I do when I take a video like that? You can tell just by looking at it, can’t you? How basic it is.”

The former managing director raised his voice a little and spoke up.

And added this.

“If these people dare to do the planning, of course the staff in the planning team get angry.”

“hmm.”

Ko Hyeon-se touched his chin and then answered.

“By the way, just because you posted a video on YouTube, wouldn’t it be possible that it wasn’t necessarily uploaded to L Motors? There’s no guarantee that just because you uploaded a video of a camper, you’ll be handing out a plan to make that car.”

“hmm. Did I just take a video? I understand that it was decided to collaborate with L Motors and that channel.”

“that’s right. We agreed that the ＜What No One Does＞ channel would become a YouTube channel in collaboration with L Motors.”

“So. So why don’t those people get excited and post that first? L Motors decided to cooperate.”

“Uh.”

Go Hyun-se scratched his head.

“under.”

Ko Hyun-seok also burst into a snort.

‘That person doesn’t seem to know who the owner of the ＜What No One’s Doing＞ channel is. Won’t you talk to me next to me?’

But that doesn’t mean that it’s difficult for Koh Hyun-seok to step out and say, ‘Who is that?’

It’s not officially recognized, and it’s not even true.

It is also a problem that the image of a ‘bastard’ is still treated badly in Korean society.

“Those channels.”

While Ko Hyeon-seok was thinking, Ko Hyeon-se spoke with a wry smile.

“Are those channels?”

Something was wrong with the name.

However, the former managing director dismissed it as nothing special, saying, ‘Because Ko Hyeon-se is an American, he will use the title strangely.’

“yes. I don’t think they will be excited about collaborating with L Motors and stick to what they are doing with us.”

“Is that so?”

The former chief’s eyes widened. To that extent, Ko Hyeon-se’s answer was beyond his expectations.

“yes. People are busy there. There is no guarantee that just because you uploaded a camper video, it was related to our company.”

“is it so?”

The former managing director tilted his head.

‘I got a subcontract from L Motors, but they don’t start with that? Are you saying that as if it were natural for our CEO?’

As an executive director of a large company, ‘collaboration’ is synonymous with ‘subcontracting’ to Jeon Chang-soon.

As the executive director of a traditional conglomerate, the subcontractor isn’t excited to get down to business?

“It’s too subcontracting… I’m thinking of a cooperative relationship loosely. That’s kind of disgusting.”

“hmm. I asked for that. And I will do the same for other YouTube channels.”

Go Hyun-se said.

“how?”

“If you drive it too tightly as if it were subcontracted, the video will come out a little obvious. With the sense of free brainstorming, I will make you slowly pick up the video.”

“under.”

From the former managing director’s point of view, it was the sound of the side of gimbap bursting.

“So, when you submit your results to us, don’t touch them, are you?”

“yes. After all, they are creators. It is a judgment that it is better to collaborate like that.”

Hearing Ko Hyeon-se’s answer, Jeon looked around at the other directors.

No one throws up at the end of Go Hyeon Se.

‘Isn’t this?’

The former managing director’s voice rose.

“This is something our staff would be angry about.”

“is that so?”

“yes. It seems to give YouTubers too much privilege. It’s nice to say that creators have room, but can’t there be problems with fairness?”

“hmm. I don’t think there is a need to view regular employees and collaborating with outside companies the same.”

Ko Hyun-seok intervened.

“Oh.”

The former managing director put on a confused expression for a moment.

‘Is Ko Hyeon-seok on the side of Ko Hyeon-se?’

However, in the judgment of the former managing director, this cannot be the case.

“We have different statuses, but wouldn’t it be the same to plan together?”

He protested, but compared to when he did it to Ko Hyeon-se, the former executive director’s voice was much quieter.

To most of the directors sitting here, Ko Hyeon-seok is much more difficult to deal with than Ko Hyeon-se.

“You shouldn’t look at internal employees who give out salaries even if they don’t perform well, and external companies that get paid only for performance. Is it important to do something similar?”

Ko Hyun-seok dismissed it again.

“yes.”

Ko Hyun-seok’s idea was not to my liking.

But I didn’t dare think of throwing up any more.

“I understand for now. What do you mean?”

Ko Hyeon-se opened his mouth again.

“I will refer to the part you just said and organize it. We acknowledge the possibility that employee dissatisfaction may occur. Then we have to be careful not to lower the morale of our employees.”

Ko Hyeon-se still showed a gesture that he would take care of the staff.

But to the directors, ‘As expected, no American. Look at that blurry thing.’

“And there is one thing I want to make sure.”

Go Hyun-se looked around and said.

“Once, it doesn’t happen that the planning team overturns the project after listening to the YouTuber. It’s literally creating a new planned event.”

“What do you mean?”

the former managing director asked.

He was polite, but anyone could feel that his tone was different from when he was talking to Ko Hyeon-seok.

“Doesn’t it involve contesting product ideas with consumers, for example? Even at such an event, if the existing planners hurt their pride, they have nothing to say, isn’t that usually the case?”

“Yes.”

“It is like that. It means trying to develop a product by adopting a new perspective. If the reaction is good, it will continue, but if it is not good, it may become a one-time event. If you think like that, I think the employees don’t have to hurt their pride. What about?”

Ko Hyeon-se asked kindly.

“…”

Ko Hyun-seok didn’t say anything.

It was not easy to figure out what that silence meant.

However, several directors, including the former managing director, thought this way.

‘Ko Hyeon-se is an amateur. They are trying to do a strange American-style event without knowing Korean things. I don’t even know what Korean organizational culture is.’

and,

‘In the end, Ko Hyeon-seok is looking for a chance to know when Ko Hyeon-se will be disgraced. Then, if you humiliate me once, Ko Hyun-seok, who has been waiting for it…’

Koh Hyun-seok’s silence was ‘yes. Do what you like and stop eating it. Then I figured out that I was hiding in the thought of ‘I’ll kick you out’.

‘okay. I can do some work.’

So, in the end, the former executive director came to this decision with confidence.

“ah. I thought Asan was only good for hot springs, but the lake is also good.”

We parked our mobile studio in the parking lot around Sinjeongho, Asan, and we were looking at the horizon.

“Because I’m looking at the horizon.”

Bumsu said as if muttering pleasantly.

“huh.”

“I feel like I’m just coming up with an idea.”

“huh? idea?”

It’s not that often that the word ‘idea’ comes out of Beom-su’s mouth.

I’m curious.

“I’m a novelist and a film director, and you shouldn’t try to come up with ideas while working. They say that if you throw away everything and set up a schedule for the week, a good idea suddenly pops up on the 4th or 5th day.”

the criminal said

“Hoo. That seems to be correct. When I’m thinking about it, there’s no news, but when I’m playing and lounging, I come up with an idea.”

I also laughed and nodded.

“huh. I’ve been here for about three days, so I suddenly feel like my head is working well.”

“Doing nothing for three days is something that no one can do. It would be fun to film something like that once.”

Saying this, I looked at Beom-su’s face, but his face was quite serious, unlike usual.

“So that’s what I mean.”

“uh? uh.”

I replied, a little taken aback.

“Shouldn’t I participate as a creator soon?”

“oh. really?”

Did Beom-soo have had that kind of greed for a long time?

“huh. I have a series I want to film.”

“What?”

“Broadcast Equipment Review.”

“ah!”

“We actually posted a video close to the release date. But other than that, posting a review that analyzes and compares properly.”

“Is that good?”

That’s a really good idea.

In fact, most YouTubers have bought tons of expensive equipment that they can’t even afford to own.

It’s like having two studios already.

There are filming equipment, editing equipment, and monitoring equipment.

plus sound equipment.

“I thought I’d review one a week and post it.”

“hey. So good.”

My reaction was good, so Beom-soo’s slightly anxious face widened.

“oh. yes? I thought so too.”

“I like that the lake is nice. It’s definitely a good idea.”

“huh.”

But at this point, I have a question.

“By the way, don’t you want to dig a separate channel? Are you going to make it into our channel?”

“ah. that…”
