Episode 103

With Heesung completely changing the future, was able to safely complete the final competition.

But nothing had changed about Kim Ji-yu.

She’ll still be taking antidepressants and she’ll be at the point where she can step down voluntarily.

After leaving JNBC, Heeseong headed to the hospital in Chae So-won.

“Hello. I came to see the head of the vegetable garden.”

Since I was just about to get off work, I was able to make an appointment with her easily.

A female employee who was familiar with Heesung from his last visit guided him to the examination room.

“You can come right in, manager!”

“thank you.”

After knocking lightly on the door and entering the room, I saw Chae So-won taking off her gown.

“I was planning on contacting you this week anyway. How did you know to call me right away?”

“Really? Why?”

“Why? Because you left like that, we couldn’t even eat together. It’s rude to scratch someone’s car and then wipe your mouth clean. Looking at that car, it looks like it’ll cost a lot to repair.”

“Oh, repair costs?”

Heeseong said nonchalantly, sitting on a comfortable chair.

“It just got erased. There wasn’t really anything to fix.”

“What? That’s ridiculous. I even saw it with my own eyes. Don’t worry about making me feel bad. No matter how close you are, you have to keep a distinction between work and personal life!”

Chae So-won, who took off her gown and put on a jacket, sat down in front of Hee-sung and smiled.

“So, what do you want to go eat? Thanks to you, I’m going to eat something delicious for the first time in a while. Let’s go somewhere nice.”

“Don’t you have a boyfriend, sister? Why are you doing something like that with me at your prime?”

“This? Can’t I eat with you? You can go to a nice place and eat delicious food with your neighborhood friend!”

“What I mean is, if you were a doctor, there would be a line of men lining up to meet you. What have you been doing all this time that you don’t even have a girlfriend? It’s not like you don’t have time.”

The vegetable garden sighed deeply and shook its head.

“If every man you meet is full of braggadocio and money, how can you possibly get close to him? If you see him, you’d think he’s as wealthy as Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. From the first time we meet until we finish eating, he’s all about bragging about himself. And then he always asks to go for a drive in his car.”

“Drive? Why?”

“Why, it’s because you obviously want to brag about driving a nice car. Ugh, after that, I got sick of blind dates. I just live like this and if fate comes along, I’ll meet you, or else I’ll live alone.”

For a moment, I thought, ‘Isn’t it good to have a lot of money?’ but I also thought that if it was a vegetable garden, it would definitely be something to feel resistance to.

Looking at the tendencies and various backgrounds of the vegetable garden that I have seen since I was young.

“Let’s go first. The traffic will be jammed since it overlaps with rush hour. Let’s go when there’s less traffic.”

Hee-sung said this while stopping Chae So-won, who was trying to get up from her seat to pack her bag.

“It looks like we’ll get stuck in traffic anyways, so why don’t we just chat a bit more before we go? Don’t waste time in the car.”

At those words, Chae So-won looked down at Hee-sung with a strange look in her eyes.

“Oh, now that I look at it, you came here for another purpose? You didn’t just stop by.”

I sat down again and asked Heesung.

“What is it? Tell me. I don’t think something petty like that would cause trouble for you.”

“Ms. Kim Ji-yu, you haven’t visited again since then, right?”

Chae So-won nodded her head in response to Kim Ji-yu’s unexpected remark.

“No, it’s been a few days. The medicine I received that day alone is enough for two weeks. Why is Ms. Kim Ji-yu suddenly here?”

“I also had something urgent to do that day, so I couldn’t finish it. I was wondering how you were doing.”

Hee-sung headed straight to JNBC after receiving a call from Seung-ik Joo that day.

Since I knew about Kim Ji-yu’s future, I couldn’t help but feel anxious the whole time.

The vegetable gardener leaned back against the backrest and let out a slightly heavy sigh.

“Well, I can’t say it’s good. I guess it’s because there are so many difficult problems intertwined.”

“Complexly? Are you saying there’s something else besides the competition issue?”

Since it was a consultation with a patient, Chae So-won looked thoughtful for a moment.

Then he opened his mouth and said.

“Yeah, well. I guess it’s okay since Ms. Kim Ji-yu personally asked you for advice. After all, she needs your help.”

“… … .”

“Ms. Kim Ji-yu is in a really bad situation right now. She’s not taking antidepressants just because of what happened last time.”

Hee-sung couldn’t help but look serious because he heard that there was another problem besides the competition program.

“How can things be bad?”

“First of all, financially, it was a very difficult situation. That’s why I couldn’t make a decision about leaving the competition show for so long.”

“Ms. Kim Ji-yu? What is that… … .”

Kim Ji-yu is a singer-songwriter. She has even released five albums, and as of now, most of her albums have been successful, and she is on a unique path as a solo female singer.

Since he writes and composes all the songs himself, it goes without saying that his income is also enormous.

Most people know what the copyright fees for a good song are.

But when he said he was having financial difficulties, I wondered what on earth he meant.

“Didn’t Kim Ji-yu say that back then? She said that the CEO of her agency was her uncle. She said that he was the one who debuted her and raised her to where she is now, even going into debt.”

“Oh, that’s right. The CEO of Delight Entertainment.”

“You said that you had a lot of debt here and there while raising a girl group. But then that girl group didn’t do well. I think a lot of Kim Ji-yu’s money went into it during that process. Since the financial sector has its limits, you had to use private lending to solve that.”

“If you’re talking about private finance, are you talking about private loans?”

“Yes. I heard that most of the money he borrowed was from you. You know that too. The later you pay that kind of money back, the more interest you have to pay. I guess he couldn’t handle it, so he even reached out to his niece. Kim Ji-yu had no choice but to listen.”

In a time when he had nothing, he risked everything and went all-in on her just because she was his family, so Ji-yu Kim would have gladly helped him.

If it weren’t for my uncle, I wouldn’t have been able to get to that position.

“But even after doing that, it seems like the debt wasn’t something he could handle. He even sold the building to help out with the cash he had, but the loan sharks kept coming. I heard my uncle even caused a commotion several times, saying that he would rather die.”

“How much debt do you have… … I don’t know about boy groups, but girl groups don’t have that much investment cost, right?”

They say he helped by selling the building for cash, which means he gave at least several billion won.

And yet the debt still hasn’t been paid off.

I wondered how much of an unreasonable investment it was to make in a place that wasn’t even a large entertainment agency.

“I don’t know anything about that field. Anyway, I think I started thinking about it after seeing Kim Ji-yu, who is doing well on a competition show. Right now, money is more important than fame or titles. In order to do that, I have to prepare for activities in China faster than others.”

“Ha, what the heck.”

“I couldn’t tell you back then, but there were these inside stories. If it weren’t for my uncle, I would never have given up on the competition, but now, the circumstances are what they are. It’s not something else, it’s family. The only family in the world.”

Heeseong raises his eyebrows at those words.

“What do you mean? What about Kim Ji-yu’s parents?”

“Oh, I didn’t know? This is something that’s also on the internet. I heard that they both grew up under the care of their uncles after they both died in a car accident when they were young. That’s why they rely on and trust each other more.”

“……ah.”

When I first heard Kim Ji-yu’s story, I didn’t understand it at all, but after hearing the story, I started to understand it.

In this situation, I don’t think I would have been able to make a decision easily.

Because he probably thought it was right to follow his uncle, his only family member, rather than Yoo Jae-wook, who was just a senior and junior in the music industry.

Moreover, he has now poured all his wealth into paying off his uncle’s debt. However, he still hasn’t been able to resolve everything.

“So, how upset and confused must Kim Ji-yu be? She has worked so hard for so long, but she has nothing left, and she has to secretly throw away her pride as a singer because of her activities in China. Wouldn’t anyone feel that way?”

If you do well in the competition, it is natural that you will advance not only into China but also overseas. That is because the scope of your fandom will expand.

But what would happen to their lives as singers if it became known that they intentionally dropped out of the competition to make more money a little faster?

Along with all the criticism, there may never be another stage that will call you back.

Anyway, the entertainment industry is all about image.

“Isn’t it possible that Ms. Kim Ji-yu’s condition is very serious or something? If she’s taking antidepressants, is it something that we should be seriously worried about?”

Chae So-won nodded, understanding the intent of the question.

“If it was to that extent, it wouldn’t have ended with just sleeping pills. Based on what I’ve seen from counseling, it’s not at a serious level yet. It’s more like a feeling of depression rather than depression? Since they went through such a big thing at once, it’s a symptom that anyone would naturally feel.”

“Depression? What’s the difference?”

“It’s literally a temporary state of depression. If it continues and becomes serious, it becomes what is commonly called depression. In my opinion, Kim Ji-yu is not at that level. She has trouble sleeping at night because of various worries.”

So then why on earth did Kim Ji-yu suddenly make such a choice?

If the vegetable garden is diagnosed like this, it means that it is not a situation where the person is suffering from continuous depression day and night.

‘First, I need to find out exactly what the situation is on my uncle’s side. How much debt do they have that they can’t seem to resolve it?’

For now, I decided it was right to start by addressing Kim Ji-yu’s biggest concern.

That way, we can figure out exactly what problems you’re having trouble with and why.

dripping.

“Teacher, if you haven’t finished work yet, the director wants to see you for a moment.”

Chae So-won nodded at the female employee’s words and stood up from her seat.

“I’ll be back in a bit, Heesung. Let’s go right away after I get back!”

“Okay, have a go.”

After the vegetable garden left, Heeseong immediately took out his cell phone.

I felt like I had to ask him for this job too.

“President Choi. This is me, Jeong Hee-seong.”

-Oh my, your three-letter name is popping up on my phone too? If someone saw you, they’d think you were lovers. You contact me every other day.

“Please find out just one person. I will organize the details and send them to you separately via text message. However, I don’t have much time, so I would like you to find out as quickly as possible. I will pay you double.”

-Hey, you’ve become world-famous, but your spending habits have gotten a lot bigger. You used to have a card that you could pay in 36 installments for. Haha, I’m grateful!

Choi Pil-hwan of Ildeung Detective Agency asked with a very pleasant smile on his face.

-So, who are you? The guy who asked me to do some background checks.

“I am Kim Seong-chan, the CEO of Delight Entertainment. He is a well-known person, so it will be easier for me to handle other requests. I would like to receive the information you want within 2-3 days at the latest.”

I don’t know exactly when Kim Ji-yu’s incident happened.

So, I was in a position where I had no choice but to hurry.

Because extreme choices happen literally in an instant.

However, Choi Pil-hwan, who heard the name of the person being investigated, asked in a puzzled voice, “What is this?”

-Huh? Who are you? I was already investigating that person? The CEO of Delight. I also received the same request from someone else.

“You received the same request? From whom… … ?”

Then an even more surprising story came out of the receiver.

-Ms. Kim Ji-yu, singer Kim Ji-yu. I’m telling you this especially because you’re my manager. That’s why I’m in Gangwon-do right now.
