Episode 33

“You’re going to hold a press conference? At this hour?”

“Yes. Looking at the current situation, I don’t think it’s time to be relaxed. All the inquiries are flooding into the broadcasting station like a storm, and the PD in charge said he can’t hold out any longer. Even though it’s a little late, wouldn’t you be interested?”

Jeong Won-ho burst into laughter at Hee-sung’s story.

“It’s not just about interest. Everyone will gather at the press conference. They’ll even throw away whatever they were doing. It’s the biggest issue of the day. So I don’t think we need to worry about that part… … .”

“What’s wrong? Is there something bothering you?”

“No, that’s not it. I just haven’t thought of this kind of method. I’ve been living in this world for almost 30 years, and I’ve never even thought about holding a press conference. Haha, really. It seems like Mr. Jeong Hee-seong is definitely a thing.”

“What is it?”

When Heeseong tilted his head, Jeongwonho looked at him intently.

“Usually, in cases like this, they would announce it in the form of a statement, either through their agency or through a lawyer. That’s the norm, and reporters would spread it all around. But they held a press conference in person… …. I was a little surprised because it’s not a common thought.”

“ah.”

“Of course, it’s not a bad idea. Since it’s something that’s been talked about all day, it’ll get a lot of attention all at once, and since you’re talking about it in front of so many reporters, the effect will be huge. Especially when you’re carrying such a huge time bomb.”

In fact, the press conference was a method that came to mind out of necessity.

Since he doesn’t have an agency, Heesung has to make a statement himself, but there was no proper channel for him to do so.

As Jeong Won-ho said, this is an incident that heated up the entertainment section today, but if the explanation is half-hearted, it could have the opposite effect regardless of the content.

This is because the public’s psychology is such that they are more interested in incidents that occur and issues that become issues, and they are not particularly interested in explanations or the truth about them.

So, Heesung’s judgment is that when explaining something, it must be accompanied by an issue of equal importance in order to rekindle their interest and attention.

That way, this matter can be resolved smoothly.

of course.

‘I can’t even think about hiring a lawyer because I’ve already paid off my debts for three years… haha.’

Since I didn’t have money, I had no choice but to do it myself… …

“I guess you’re not a person who’s been around long enough, so your solution is really novel. Great. I’ll contact the reporters I know right now and let them know the location and time of the press conference. Well, it’s late, so it’ll be hard to secure a location right away, so how about the first floor of this building? It doesn’t seem like a bad place to hold a press conference.”

“First floor? Isn’t that the lobby on the first floor?”

“Is there a rule that says you have to do it in a place with a table and chairs? You can do it in a cool, open space with reporters at your feet. If you do it well, it could look like a scene from a movie.”

Jeong Won-ho added with a laugh.

“Why, there’s something like that? The feeling of an insider exposing the illegal corruption of a presidential candidate. Today’s outfit is nice and the collar is cool, so I think it’ll be a pretty cool production. Haha.”

Anything that becomes an issue is fine.

Heeseong said, bowing his head.

“Then please, sir. It’s still too much for me to do alone.”

“It will proceed without a hitch, so let’s just prepare well for the press conference. Since we’ve come this far, shouldn’t we make our presence known properly? If this ends well, both Kim Ye-seul and Jeong Hee-seong will gain a lot.”

With those words, Jeongwonho picked up his cell phone.

The purpose was to contact all the reporters I knew from now on.

Heeseong, who had been watching the scene and thinking deeply about something, soon opened his mouth and spoke.

“Excuse me, sir. If you don’t mind, can I ask you one more thing?”

“Of course. I said I would help in any way I could. So tell me.”

“Could you please take care of this while I’m at the press conference? I think this might be a good idea.”

What Heeseong handed to Jeongwonho was a USB the size of a finger joint.

When Jeongwonho looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, Heeseong smiled and said.

“Isn’t it common sense to return what you have received? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

***

As expected, news of Heesung’s press conference attracted great interest.

It’s not that it wasn’t true, but the reporters were frustrated all day because the person involved in the incident didn’t have an agency and they had nowhere to go or contact.

Then, when they announced that they would hold a press conference instead of an official statement, everyone had no choice but to rush over.

And, it was being broadcast live through several YouTube channels.

The man and woman from One Class Entertainment were also watching the scene.

“What a fucking piece of shit. Why do so many reporters flock to a press conference that guy holds? Don’t they all have anything better to do? Tsk tsk. They even pay salaries to those kinds of people.”

“Be quiet, let me hear what you have to say. If something goes wrong, it could affect us too.”

Unlike Cheon Si-eun, who was focused on her tablet, Jang Man-cheol was completely relaxed.

“Hey, Si-eun. Don’t you trust your brother that much? Who is your brother? Isn’t he the one who made a great contribution to getting you to this position? No matter how much that guy babbles, everything will go according to our scenario, so you don’t have to worry. Do you trust your brother?”

“That bastard’s brother’s words. If things go wrong, you know you’ll have no soup. Don’t even dream about renewing your contract or anything. Do you know what I mean?”

“Oh my, why is our Si-eun like this again? Instead of watching such useless things, why don’t we go have a cozy dinner? It’s been a while since we’ve had a meal together. Let’s have a glass of wine for the first time in a while. Okay?”

“Don’t touch it. It’ll distract you.”

Jang Man-cheol tries to put his hand on Cheon Si-eun’s shoulder, but takes his hand back because of her chic attitude.

Still, a smile spread across his face.

‘Anyway, you say it’s cute? I’m falling for this charm, hehe.’

Meanwhile, the press conference began.

– I am Jeong Hee-seong, the manager of actress Kim Ye-seul. Since we are holding a press conference late at night, I have already handed over the documents I prepared in advance to the reporters in order to shorten the time. To conclude, the contents of actress Kim Ye-seul’s past reported today are half true and half false.

At those words, the reporters sitting in front began to stir.

Because I admitted that it was half true anyway.

– Half of it is true because the incident of being forcibly taken to an entertainment establishment actually happened. As you can see from the documents I have organized, someone who claimed to be an entertainment official approached her, signed a contract, and threatened actress Kim Ye-seul with the deposit and compensation as an excuse. Then, I found out about it, and we resolved the matter amicably by terminating the contract. Since that happened in just one day and I personally visited the entertainment establishment, you can assume that actress Kim Ye-seul never actually worked there. This is our position and explanation regarding the articles that came out today.

After Heesung finished speaking, a reporter asked a question.

– If that is true, shouldn’t they have released a statement right away? The first article was published this morning, and it’s a bit hard to believe that they are only talking about this half a day later. That is, if everything written in this document is true.

-Before that, there was something I absolutely had to find out. I think most of the reporters here have uploaded articles related to today’s incident, either exclusive or follow-up articles. Who on earth made that report? If there were even transcripts of their own interviews, it wouldn’t have been that difficult to get to the truth. I thought I had to find out why they made that report to the reporters even though they knew the truth.

The reporters did not open their mouths on this story.

This is because they were only focused on the issue and did not think about reporting or cross-checking on their own.

At that moment, Heeseong took out his cell phone and said.

– And, right after finding the answer to that, we are holding this press conference. First, please listen to this recording file.

I held the microphone up to the speaker and played a file.

Then, a conversation between two men with only one person’s voice altered flowed out.

-But why do you do this? What is there to gain by throwing a rookie actress who just debuted into the abyss? She’s literally just a rookie, right?

-That rookie bitch is blocking our Si-eun’s bright future. If she hadn’t been there, the lead role would have been a given. She ruined the table that was already set.

-Cheon Si-eun was pushed by a rookie? Then is that really why the CEO is acting like this? I think this is a bit excessive… … .

-What’s too much, you punk? Is there anything I wouldn’t do for our Si-eun? She’s already been covered in so much dirty shit on her way here, so this is nothing. In the end, Si-eun will be with me for the rest of her life.

– Oh, you too, sir. No matter what, isn’t molka a bit much? That’s a crime, a crime. If it gets out that the CEO of the agency installed hidden cameras all over the actress’s house, how are you going to deal with the aftermath? Then your life will end there, sir.

-Shut up, you punk? You’re just a punk who gets paid to do whatever you’re told, so why are you talking like that? I’m going to manage my actors, so what do you have to do with it? Huh? Just shut this punk up.

-Ah, okay, okay. I’m just saying this because I’m worried. It’s not like it’s been a day or two, it’s been years. Anyway, don’t get caught. These days, taking hidden cameras is at least punishable by imprisonment.

At that moment, Heesung stopped the file.

It was a case that could have easily resulted in a defamation suit, but I didn’t care about that at all.

After all, from this point on, the person involved will be crawling at the bottom of life.

As expected, reporters’ questions poured in like a torrent.

-Isn’t this the CEO of One Class Entertainment, Jang Man-cheol? What is all this about? Are you saying that the person behind this incident is CEO Jang Man-cheol?

-What about the hidden camera story that came up later?! Are you saying that CEO Jang installed a hidden camera in actress Cheon Si-eun’s house? The CEO of the agency installed a hidden camera in his actress’s house?

-Where did this come from! It’s not a manipulated or edited file, is it?! If this is true, I expect there will be huge repercussions!

-Please play the recording file one more time! Could you please send me the original file?

While all these scenes were being broadcast live, Cheon Si-eun glared at Jang Man-cheol with a shocked face.

The CEO of his agency and his manager, with whom he had worked for years, installed a hidden camera in his house.

So does that mean they’ve been monitoring our every move and collecting footage for years?

Cheon Si-eun clenched her teeth as goosebumps ran down her entire body.

“What are you talking about now? ××. Why don’t you answer quickly? Are you a human? How could you, how could you!”

“Hey, Shi-eun. No, that’s not it. First, let me say something… … .”

“I’m not going to be a person who doesn’t have a horn.

Cheon Si-eun jumped up from her seat with a scream that seemed to threaten death.

Jang Man-cheol also hurriedly followed her to catch her right away.

At that moment, an employee ran into the office where the two people were and spoke urgently.

“I think both of you should see this! I just uploaded a recording on the channel, and the content is so shocking… … . It’s a live broadcast, so the repercussions are huge right now… … !”

Jang Man-cheol, who judged that it was the same as the recording they had heard, sweared.

“Aren’t you going out, you punk? We saw the press conference too, so get out!”

But what came out of the employee’s mouth was something I never expected.

“That’s not it, sir! This is a recording file containing actor Chun’s voice. If this continues, actor Chun’s entertainment career will be completely over! Even his past private life will be completely exposed!”
