However, because the window was opaque, Dowook could not see it.

If you look closer, you could see it, but Do-wook stepped back. It could have simply been a drinking party with friends, but Dowook could have been suspicious for no reason. Team leader Daehyung Lee’s personal life should not have been interfered with.

‘I’m anxious, but… It’s been a while since I decided to trust team leader Lee Dae-hyung.’

Do-wook thought as he entered the room where he originally was, CEO Yu-min Lee and branch manager Jin Jeong.

He was someone I decided to trust. After moving to Hit Entertainment until today, Team Leader Daehyung Lee has been doing his best.

‘On this side, we have to show faithfulness for the other party to also remain faithful.’

Dowook thought.

I didn’t trust this person named Lee Dae-hyung. It was about believing in the passion and greed that drove team leader Daehyung Lee to move to Hit Entertainment.

When Do-wook returned to the room, CEO Lee Yu-min and Branch Manager Jeong Jin, who had finished drinking the cocktails they had ordered, called the cocktail bar manager.

Branch Manager Jeong Jin is the second son of an electronics company, one of the top 100 companies, and had maintained a close relationship with CEO Lee Yu-min after meeting him at an entrepreneur’s meeting when he was young.

Both of them were very interested and knowledgeable in fashion and art, and despite the age difference, they communicated well, and it was CEO Lee Yu-min who helped his close younger brother, Branch Manager Jeong Jin, in many ways until he joined Coco.

Although he was the second son in Jeong Jin’s family, he strongly insisted on taking over the electronics company. It was CEO Yoo-min Lee who persuaded Jeong-jin’s parents, saying that talented people like Jeong-jin should be in the fashion industry.

Even though they wanted to tell them not to worry about their children, maintaining their friendship with the Yoosung family was also a very important issue for them, so they couldn’t just ignore what CEO Lee Yu-min said.

In the end, the parents supported Jeong-jin, thinking that good things were good things.

As he heard about the relationship between the two, Do-wook thought about the world of ‘people at home.’

They also had their own dreams and goals. However, at the same time, it occurred to me that more interests than those of ordinary people were either sharply conflicting or complicated and flowing in one direction.

‘It’s the same for me too. In order to bring down the entertainment industry tycoon named Seo Joong-won, we will have to make good use of the numerous web of interests.’

As Do-wook thought for a moment, the manager quietly opened the door to the room and came in.

When the manager arrived, the two ordered cocktails according to their tastes. There were a lot of menus that you would normally see at a cocktail bar, but here, you could tell the bartender what flavor or aroma you wanted and the bartender would create a cocktail to suit your taste.

Dowook ordered another glass of the lowest alcohol fruit-flavored cocktail.

“Hmm… how much did we talk about? hmm. These days, the Korean market in Asia has become a market that the fashion industry cannot ignore.”

Representative Lee Yu-min crossed her legs and nodded at what Branch Manager Jeong Jin said.

CEO Lee Yu-min was dressed very flashy today as well. An amber gem the size of a thumb was shining softly under the light on the neck. Branch Manager Jeong Jin was wearing a very small Coco brooch on his white shirt, and even just looking at it, he looked very classy.

I felt like I was learning about fashion just by looking at these two giants of the fashion industry.

“Isn’t the size of capital itself too small compared to Japan or China? China is really growing bigger every day. “Our Yoosung Fashion’s operating profits are now largely determined by sales in China.”

“Actually, anywhere… um. However, among those Chinese customers, there are many who like Korean actors and singers. In that respect, it has also gained influence in Korea.”

As he spoke, Branch Manager Jeong Jin looked at Do-wook.

“It’s thanks to Hallyu stars like Do-wook.”

CEO Lee Yu-min was also smiling while looking at Do-wook. Dowook put down the glass he was holding at the sudden attention.

“Ah… no.”

“This guy is so humble that it’s a shame.”

CEO Lee Yu-min said while deliberately frowning.

“Honey, now you’re the top no matter what anyone says? “Try being a little arrogant.”

“haha. If you say so, I will admit it. It’s thanks to me, right? “Korea’s influence in the global fashion market is everything.”

Both CEO Lee Yu-min and branch manager Jeong Jin burst into laughter at Do-wook’s joke.

“If you go that far, there’s nothing else I can say.”

CEO Lee Yu-min shook his head.

Branch Manager Jeong Jin stopped laughing and continued.

“That’s why. Mr. Dowook.”

Dowook waited for Branch Manager Jeong Jin’s next words. Branch Manager Jeong Jin’s dark eyebrows moved slightly.

“This time, Coco headquarters is looking for a new male muse for this year’s F/W. “Asian.”

“……Is that so?”

The ‘muse’ that Branch Manager Jeong Jin refers to is the main model of the new advertising campaign for the F/W season.

Even in one fashion brand, numerous advertisements were poured out for each line and country. Among them, the advertising campaign was the most important and revealed the brand’s color and sense of purpose.

Do-wook, who had thought about being a Korean Coco pictorial model, blinked quickly at the larger scale than expected.

“hmm. The Korean branch will also recommend models. “I will expand the influence of the Korean branch and somehow ensure that Korean models are selected for my promotions.”

Branch Manager Jeong Jin spoke cautiously but firmly.

“If Mr. Dowook isn’t so bad, I would recommend Mr. Dowook.”

No matter what top star he was, there would be no one who would refuse to become Coco’s muse. Therefore, rather than being a place to ask Do-wook’s intentions, this meeting could be said to be a place where Branch Manager Jeong Jin tested Do-wook.

Dowook looked at Branch Manager Jeong Jin. As he said, Branch Manager Jeong Jin seemed confident that the person recommended by Korea would become Coco’s muse.

And in fact, from Branch Manager Jeong Jin’s perspective, there was no recommender better than Dowook.

“thank you. “If given the opportunity, I will make it worthwhile for you to recommend me.”

At Do-wook’s words, Branch Manager Jeong Jin relaxed his expression and smiled. Although he was definitely humble, he wasn’t the type to lack confidence. I liked it very much.

“great. Hmm…. The CEO here said that there is no one better than Do-wook as an advertising model. “There is no need to worry about causing problems.”

CEO Lee Yu-min asked Do-wook with a gesture of his chin as if he was right. Dowook responded with a smile.

“Please be patient for the time being. For both of us.”

“yes. All right.”

Do-wook briefly conveyed information about the Coco Muse matter to Director Oh Baek-ho.

Although he delivered it to Lee Dae-hyung, head of the fan-marketing team, through Director Baek-ho Oh, Do-wook also briefly saw the head of the fan-marketing team, Dae-hyung Lee, as he passed by the office.

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung was impressed, saying that Do-wook was the marketing method itself even when he was not working.

“It hasn’t even been decided yet.”

“If you said it that way, it must be because you have some belief in it. “For now, we decided that only I, Director Oh, and Director Cho would know about this matter.”

“Yes….”

“Like the last time I worked with LIL, it could leak out and ruin the work for no reason.”

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung said with a friendly smile.

Do-wook suddenly remembered seeing Team Leader Lee Dae-hyung at a cocktail bar a few days ago, but quickly shook his head. First of all, there was no strange feeling from the current team leader Daehyung Lee.

However, there was a ‘perhaps’.

‘If this contact becomes known to the outside world, then we have no choice but to suspect team leader Lee Dae-hyung.’

Although he did not show it at all to Director Oh Baek-ho, Do-wook maintained a faint sense of caution.

Becoming Coco’s muse was a great opportunity for Dowook. However, even if something went wrong and he could not become a muse, Dowook had nothing to lose as a singer or actor.

That’s why I trusted team leader Lee Dae-hyung and took a gamble. In a way, it was a test of team leader Lee Dae-hyung, so I couldn’t say I completely trusted him, but because I trusted him, it was something I could test.

“How is the song work going? “Call you the love is still at the top of the Pineapple chart… I think KK’s next album will do even better.”

Do-wook responded to team leader Dae-hyung Lee’s words.

“I hope so too. “We are discussing various opinions with Team Leader Shim and the members.”

“The goal is a comeback in May, right?”

“yes. If it can be done by then…”

“Well, KK’s fan base is solid now, but it’s not good if there’s a long hiatus…”

Do-wook nodded, agreeing with team leader Lee Dae-hyung’s words. . The reason for preparing for the comeback as quickly as possible was to prevent fans from leaving.

“I’m not saying you should think hastily. “But our team regularly uploads behind-the-scenes videos once a week!”

Perhaps because he thought he had said something pointless, Team Leader Lee Dae-hyung quickly changed the topic. After exchanging stories about working while taking care of your health, Dowook headed toward the album production team.

Today was the day of the next KK regular album concept meeting.

There have been several meetings, and today we finally decided on a concept among several candidates.

“manager! “Here is an interview article that appeared today.”

Nam Hyo-jin from the fan-marketing team organized the printed articles into a folder and brought them to team leader Lee Dae-hyung.

Because there were so many articles on the Internet, employee Nam Hyo-jin scraped them and only sent links to team leader Lee Dae-hyeong, but when an important article with a lot of content came out like today, the rule was to print it out and report it separately.

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung, who was attending to other work, thanked Nam Hyo-jin and handed him a folder.

The article published today was an exclusive interview with KK conducted with Newspatch, a leading entertainment newspaper.

[Exclusive] The story behind the KK-LIL collaboration “LIL contacted me first, and it was like a dream.” (1)]

[Exclusive) The story behind the KK-LIL collaboration work “I am proud to be a member of KK..” (2)] [

Exclusive) The story behind the KK-LIL collaboration work “Entering the global market? “I think if I focus on Korea, I will succeed someday..” (3)]

It was an interview series that lasted a whopping three pages. It was proudly displayed on the main page of the portal site.

Due to the collaboration with LIL and the success of ‘Call the Love’, the public’s attention was once again focused on KK. In order to continue this momentum until the comeback, team leader Daehyung Lee conducted an interview in collaboration with Newspatch.

When they said that only Newspatch could publish an exclusive article, it was an unconditional call. Photos from the US work provided by Hit Entertainment were also displayed on the main page.

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung carefully read the printed interview. I had already checked the brief questions and answers via email, but as details were added to the article, I had to check to see if there were any parts that could be problematic.

“Huh?……”

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung, who was reading the article, stopped at Do-wook’s answer.

[The fact that we were able to work with LIL this time was actually a result of efforts at the company level. Daehyung Lee, head of our company’s marketing team, did a lot of hard work. It’s true that LIL liked KK’s song, but wouldn’t he have had to listen to the music first for that to happen? In that sense, I would like to express my infinite gratitude to the marketing team.]

Team leader Lee’s name was on it.

“Haha……”

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung felt many emotions.

I remembered meeting Director Seo Jung-won a few days ago. Headquarters manager Seo Jung-won had personally contacted team leader Lee Dae-hyung to scout him again. The purpose was not purely to scout this team leader.

“This is it.”

Team leader Lee Dae-hyung picked up the cell phone on the desk and found Manager Oh Baek-ho in the cell phone list.

As a member of Hit Entertainment, which will work together to achieve KK’s success, it was time to talk about the doubts I had.
