◈ Episode 243: Counterattack of the Counterattack (1)

Park Won-tae entered the prosecution service first.

Since I didn’t have anything special to prepare, I brought my in-house lawyer, Hwang Tae-hwan, with me.

Nam Woon-myeong also got busy.

He took several measures, including the famous YouTuber Han Chan-hyuk.

I met Han Chan-hyuk at a coffee shop like that time in the past.

Han Chan-hyuk appeared with a shabby beard and shabby clothes, just like before. The income Han Chan-hyuk earns from YouTube is definitely not small. However, at first glance, it is a strange world where he is no different from the homeless people in Seoul Station.

“Thanks to you, I earned a lot. What’s up today? Any good information?”

Han Chan-hyuk, who broadcasts various gossips related to conglomerates, was always thirsty for new information. He rushed to Nam Woon-myung’s call as if he had seized the opportunity.

“I don’t know if this is good information, but I thought I’d ask for your help.”

“Oh! That’s good. I’m a guy who always repays favors.”

Han Chan-hyuk smiled kindly.

Nam Woon-myung doesn’t trust Han Chan-hyeok, but he doesn’t ignore his influence. His ability has already been proven during the previous Bukseong Polymer incident.

“Did you see the news today?”

“What news?”

It seems that Korea Asset Management and Mega Asset Management were not conglomerates, so they were outside of Han Chan-hyeok’s interest.

Nam Yun-myeong pulled up the relevant news on his cell phone.

“Mega Asset Management CEO Park Won-tae! Appear at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office.”

“Mega Asset Management, a key member of the Korea Asset Management consortium that acquired CSK, is a private equity fund that has recently been in the spotlight. The prosecution has drawn its sword after finding that the source of funds for this company, which has rapidly expanded in size, is uncertain. The prosecution has stated that it will definitely hold accountable any illegal fund management or unexplained illegal funds.”

“With the appearance of CEO Park Won-tae, the room for movement of CSK co-CEO Yoon Se-bin, who has recently emerged as an icon of innovation in the financial world, has become narrow. It is presumed that the ultimate target of the prosecution’s investigation will be CEO Yoon.”

“Was Yoon Se-bin, the icon of financial innovation, an illusion? Was the company founded by corruption? We reveal her true identity!”

The news was full of all kinds of sensational articles.

The person who was summoned to the prosecution today was Park Won-tae, but the media was hanging on to Yoon Se-bin. Compared to Park Won-tae, who is not well-known, the famous Yoon Se-bin became the target of criticism. The hyena nature of the media was clearly revealed.

Public opinion was not good either. Those who had been praising him until yesterday joined the ranks of critics today.

“Yoon Se-bin was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but was it an illegal gift?”

“Tax evasion? Evil hidden behind a pretty face!”

“Unconditional redemption of Baiglobal Fund!”

“The Icon of Financial Innovation? The Icon of Tax Evasion!”

“Before becoming rich, you must first become human. Why are all the rich people in our country like this?”

“But still, she’s the number one female entrepreneur that people want to marry!”

“Hmm? This? Representative Yoon Se-bin? Isn’t she a finance person who is rumored to be incredibly pretty? There was even a rumor that she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth… Is it okay to criticize this woman?”

As expected of a YouTuber, his mind turned to criticizing first.

“No, it’s the opposite.”

“Are you against it?”

Han Chan-hyuk tilted his head.

Nam Yun-myeong explained it easily.

“Isn’t it strange that the media is suddenly beating up one person? Yesterday he was an icon of innovation, today he’s a tax evader! Aren’t they polar opposites?”

“Well, that’s true. So you’re saying there’s a conspiracy?”

“Yes, that’s right. The North Star Group is behind that conspiracy.”

Han Chan-hyuk’s eyes lit up at the mention of the Bukseong Group. When he brought up the conglomerate, he showed his characteristic wolf-like nature.

“Haha! Throw anything at me and I’ll beat the North Star perfectly just like back then!”

“Our counterattack point is the sand. I will also be entering the prosecution office that day… At that time, you can broadcast in front of the Bukseong Group and the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office.”

“Not today?”

“We also need to gather firepower. Let’s let the enemy run wild today and tomorrow.”

“Aha! When the enemy is gaining momentum, a decisive blow is more effective.”

He gave me a rough idea of ​​the overall plan.

Even though there was no specific evidence, Han Chan-hyeok believed in the conspiracy theory of Bukseong and the prosecution. This is because the original purpose of private broadcasting was to say, ‘If not, then forget it.’

Looking at the guy’s face, it seemed like he was expecting another round of donations.

“But to broadcast it… I need some footage of CEO Park Won-tae and CEO Yoon Se-bin.”

This guy is also a man and is eyeing Yoon Se-bin’s beauty. He absolutely cannot be allowed to be interviewed.

Nam Woon-myung answered with a sigh.

“I’ll send you some videos. Edit them as you see fit and use them.”

Should I film Yoon Se-bin’s video? I have no choice but to use a YouTuber.

Nam Woon-myeong met Yun Se-bin.

As expected, her face was filled with worry and she was pacing around the office, seemingly unable to get anything done.

“Have you seen the news?”

“yes.”

Yoon Se-bin let out a long sigh.

It can’t be pleasant to be subjected to silent violence from an unspecified number of people. She is not a celebrity, so she is not yet accustomed to this kind of criticism. It is difficult to endure the psychological pressure and burden.

“it’s hard?”

“If I say no, it would be a lie, right?”

Yoon Se-bin tried hard to smile gently at him.

“Think of it as a quick beating, because it’s something you’ll have to go through someday.”

“I know. I can’t back out like this.”

Yoon Se-bin showed his strength.

Nam Woon-myeong also expressed his anger towards Bukseong’s Hyun Jae-seop who was hiding behind him.

“So what I’m saying is… if we’re going to fight back, we need Representative Yoon’s help.”

“Me?”

Nam Woon-myung brought in the two people he had been waiting for. They were cameramen from a cable drama production company.

“I need a video of Representative Yoon. I was thinking of just taking it myself… But wouldn’t an expert be better? The public is more swayed by images than logic.”

Yoon Se-bin’s beauty is even more powerful. We must fully utilize that advantage.

Yoon Se-bin frowned slightly. His expression was somewhat displeased.

“I think that if Korea Asset Management is to increase its influence globally in the future, it needs a promotional video. Let’s film one now.”

“I’m not used to this kind of thing…….”

“Just work without being conscious of it. You can edit it later. There’s a reason experts exist.”

I arranged the camera to appease Yoon Se-bin, who was reluctant to give up.

Jo Ha-neul was next to Yoon Se-bin and adjusting her makeup.

It will feature everyday scenes such as writing and approving documents, looking out the window and thinking about things, and occasionally giving instructions to employees.

If you keep shooting, you can get some good footage because the original version supports it so well.

Yoon Se-bin, who was awkward at first, quickly got used to it and started working as if there was no cameraman. He will gradually get used to it since he is scheduled to film all day today.

Not long after he started taking pictures of this and that, Nam Woon-myung’s cell phone rang.

It was the current status of Bukseong.

Nam Woon-myeong handed the cell phone over to Yoon Se-bin.

Yoon Se-bin nodded as if asking why he was giving this to her, but quickly seemed to understand and answered the phone. She switched to speakerphone for filming.

“This is Yoon Se-bin.”

[Representative Yoon? Representative Yoon answered the phone. It doesn’t matter anyway. How have you been?]

“I can’t stand it because of you.”

Yoon Se-bin answered with a hardened expression.

This scene was being filmed in its entirety from the side.

[I see you received the gift I sent.]

“A gift?”

[You saw the news? From an icon of financial innovation to an icon of tax evasion. How do you feel?]

“Ah! That’s what Bukseong was aiming for?”

Yoon Se-bin asked as if he didn’t know.

[Don’t ignore the power of the North that has dominated this country’s economy for decades. It’s not just the Financial Supervisory Service that we have in our hands, but the prosecution as well. If you step down obediently, we’ll cancel your appearance at the prosecution. We’ll also organize the media articles appropriately. What do you think?]

“How petty.”

[Money isn’t everything. Power is scarier. It’s still a weak point. Think carefully about what kind of misfortune you’ll face in the future. If you back down quietly… … it’ll all be like nothing happened. The wedding will go ahead as planned. It’s not a bad suggestion, is it?]

“I will decline. I have done nothing wrong.”

[Do I have to be at fault to be buried? Oh, I did do something wrong. I didn’t recognize the other person.]

“I’ll hang up now.”

[I feel bad for Representative Yoon, so I’m saying this. Think about it carefully.]

After hanging up the phone, Yoon Se-bin swallowed his anger.

Nam Yun-myeong took the phone back.

The call was recorded properly.

* * *

Park Won-tae is back.

He said there were no special questions.

He said that he mainly asked about the situation when he was spun off from Mega Partners and investigated Nam Woon-myung’s status and work at Mega Asset Management.

This means that the people the prosecution is targeting are Yoon Se-bin and Nam Woon-myeong, not Park Won-tae.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Why is it like this? I ended up like this… but I think Director Nam and Director Yoon will have a hard time.”

“Even if you dig, there’s nothing you can get out of it.”

Nam Woon-myung didn’t have any money in the beginning, and all the funds were incentives from Mega Partners, so there was nothing to lose. The incentives were legal money that had been taxed.

As far as he knows, Korea Asset Management is the same. Yoon Do-cheon definitely made donations and paid taxes in full. He is not a banker who is so sloppy as to evade taxes rashly.

However, the only problematic funds are the slush funds received from Yoon Do-cheon when establishing the New York branch. However, these funds are staying overseas through tax havens, making it virtually impossible to trace.

Since it is overseas funding, there is no authority to investigate domestically and no proper evidence can be found.

The prosecution’s current threats are nothing more than a bluff and a media play.

I have done this many times in the past at the request of the North Star, but this time it is different. I must make them realize that they cannot cover up the truth with lies.

“The next batter is you……”

“We need to prepare.”

“The prosecution said today that there is a high possibility that you and Representative Yoon will be transferred to the status of suspects.”

Unlike the witness investigation, if you are a suspect, it means that you will be arrested after the investigation. In other words, you cannot return after being called to the prosecution.

“Is it really possible?”

Nam Yun-myeong smiled meaningfully.

“Is there a way?”

“First, announce the establishment of an integrated media group tomorrow. It will be an internet broadcasting station that will cover all areas including news, drama, and sports. The target is CNN in the United States.”

“Establishing a broadcasting station requires government approval?”

“You can just take over an existing cable broadcasting company. In this day and age, there’s no reason for it to be a public broadcasting company, right?”

“Are you saying we should push through with capital?”

“Yes. Let’s see how long the media that sympathizes with the North can stick to that side.”

This is not a project that Nam Yun-myeong planned spontaneously.

He discovered CNN’s investment stake when he was investigating CSK. CNN is now part of Warner Bros. Discovery Group. CSK is the third largest shareholder.

CSK is rumored to be launching a comprehensive media group in Korea by investing additional shares.

There is no domestic media or broadcasting station that can compete with the media dinosaur Warner Bros. Discovery Group.

In addition, if you read the weather forecast, the media business will rapidly expand in size in the future. This is because we are in an era where content is in short supply. Therefore, it is a business item that is actually completely free of problems if you invest in it.

“It clearly shows what money is.”

Money-grubbing isn’t just something that the conglomerates do. And media play isn’t exclusive to the existing media conglomerates.

Park Won-tae agreed, and Jeong Seon-yeong and Shin Cheol-ho wrote the announcement document.

The day Nam Woon-myung is summoned to the prosecution, it will be revealed. Until then, there is still the issue of Yoon Se-bin having to complete basic coordination with Warner Bros. Discovery.

Since he has the position of CSK representative and there is no need to invest urgently, a simple agreement is not difficult.

In the midst of a busy schedule, Nam Woon-myung’s summons day arrived.
