In the end, PD Kang Seok-woo had no choice but to raise his hands and feet.
I don't know from M Show's point of view, but from his point of view, the prettiest picture is for things to proceed as Han Shi-on said.
"Mr. Han Si-on. "What on earth do you do?"
"He is the leader for three months and 100 days."
"Huh, really."
"Probably, you will only need to listen to the 8th or 9th episode every three months. "For the 10th episode, we need to take the side of the take scene and give it some room."
"what the… … ."
Kang Seok-woo, who burst out in bewildered laughter, continued.
"Mr. Han Si-on, do you remember what we talked about last time? "A strong relationship."
A conversation we had when negotiations for Chris Edwards' appearance were going through difficulties.
"I heard you even talked about the appearance fee to the late producer? "What do you want?"
"It's a strong relationship."
"we? It's already sticky. "To be honest, I never thought I'd be able to have this conversation with a 20-year-old contestant."
"I'm talking about a bond that goes beyond just the program director and program participants."
"ah… … . "You want to take on a debt."
"Not necessarily."
"Why not? But Mr. Shion, you know that, right? "The debt of the heart only affects those who are at a level that is uncomfortable to ignore."
Si On Han grinned.
"Of course I remember."
"I'm going to pay that debt this time."
"I guess we still have a long way to go before we get to a level where I feel uncomfortable, right?"
"Objectively speaking, but… … ."
Not subjectively.
I felt somewhat uneasy about turning back with Han Si-on like this.
However, Kang Seok-woo did not say anything more, and Han Si-on nodded as if there was no need to say anything.
"If you are removed from the M Show blacklist, please contact me at any time. "I will definitely appear in any program directed by PD Kang."
"must? bungee jumping? Skydiving?"
"… … "If anything."
"haha."
Kang Seok-woo, who smiled brightly, took a sip of beer and asked.
"When will I meet CEO Choi?"
"I decided to see you tomorrow evening."
"What are you going to say to CEO Choi?"
"well. "I'll have to listen to the story."
"Mr. Han Si-on, do you know what? "Usually in situations like this, I say I need to speak well."
He is a person who always likes to take the lead.
The two people shared a bottle of beer and then stood up.
Kang Seok-woo felt a strange feeling as he watched the back of Han Si-on leaving.
The two people who met by chance entered into an implicit contract at Coming Up Next.
The results were good.
He made Han Sion the center of the program, and Han Sion greatly increased the popularity of the program.
And now, the contract is over.
Starting tomorrow, Han Si-on will be on M Show's blacklist, and Sedalbaekil will have to survive under the pressure of M Show and Ryan Entertainment.
Still, I hope Hansion does well.
Perhaps it is because he is the director of the program before being an employee of M Show.
Because Coming Up Next was the best program I've ever directed.
Thanks to Hansion.

I met with PD Kang Seok-woo in private, but he was not CEO Choi Dae-ho.
The meeting place with Choi Dae-ho is Ryan Enter.
That's how I arrived at Ryan Enter.
"Is it true that you really made an appointment with the CEO? "What is your name?"
The security at the entrance looks me up and down and looks suspiciously at me.
I laugh out loud.
CEO Choi Dae-ho really likes doing little tricks like this.
Security may not know me.
Managing an entertainment company does not necessarily mean you have to be sensitive to the status of content.
But at least there is no way to treat someone who has an appointment with the representative like this.
If I really felt like a sasaeng fan or a fraudster, they would have kicked me out, but if not, they would have contacted me.
But what is the attitude of security now?
It seems like he's suspicious of me, but it's clear that he has no intention of kicking me out.
In other words, this is a surprise.
Don't make the mistake of pretending that the whole world is yours just because you saw it on a TV program.
This world is wide.
That's what I'm trying to say.
If PD Kang Seok-woo had done something like this, he might have put up with it and overlooked it.
Kang Seok-woo and I made an implicit contract and faithfully performed each other's roles, but I was the one who broke the contract first.
Moreover, the coming up next producer was Kang Seok-woo, so there were a lot of comfortable aspects.
He is a person who respects others if he thinks their social intelligence is similar to his own.
However, it is not CEO Choi Dae-ho.
The existence of CEO Choi Dae-ho means nothing to me.
Even if the CEO of Double M or the CEO of NT had been sitting at the judges' table instead of Choi Dae-ho, nothing would have changed.
So, without hesitation, I said hello to the security and turned around.
"Uh, me! Mr. Han Si-on!"
I heard security's voice calling from behind, but I didn't turn around.
Even though he ran and grabbed me, my feelings didn't change.
However, I did not want to cause any damage to the security that carried out the orders from above, so I was cautious.
"I guess I misunderstood the date. "I'll make an appointment again and come back."
Of course we will never meet again.
Honestly, there is no need to talk to CEO Choi Dae-ho.
They were trying to stop traffic in case they continued to put pressure on the members of Sedalbaekil.
As I was leaving Ryan Entertainment, I sent a text message to Choi Dae-ho.
[Thank you for your hard work. We'll be at odds for a while, but if it's business logic and not human hatred, I think the day will come when we'll greet each other with a smile. Stay healthy.]
Still, I am an adult who has lived longer, so I should treat him with composure and tolerance.
The reply came sooner than expected.
I went out to the main street and was about to call a taxi when my cell phone vibrated.
But was CEO Choi Dae-ho like this?
[Don't be cocky and come up.]
[Whether you come and make atonement or kneel down, look me in the eyes and do it.]
uh… … . I wasn't that wrong, was I?
I can understand a businessman retaliating with business logic, but this attitude is a bit much.
When I think about it, I don't know much about CEO Choi Dae-ho.
Because there was no opportunity to take off the broadcast mask and have a private conversation.
So it was a bit surprising.
Judging from how he treated Blue, who was a singer at his agency, and Lee Chang-jun, who was his junior, he seemed like the type to be generous to his subordinates.
Are you only generous to people who agree with you?
Or are there strong barriers to social status?
There are often such CEOs.
People who laugh even if the manager makes a joke that goes beyond the line, but look down on the manager even if he makes a trivial joke.
For people like this, the hurdles start from the manager.
Below that, you shouldn't dare make jokes to yourself.
Like a caste system.
I feel that way about Choi Dae-ho.
While I was thinking that, I got a call from Choi Dae-ho.
As soon as I answer the phone, I hear a quiet voice.
-Han Shi-on. If you are arrogant and think that popularity will last forever, you are making a mistake. Come up.
hmm. I think that's right.
These people cannot be persuaded no matter how good the reasons are.
Either it goes your way or it doesn't. There are only two.
So, whether I apologize here or pour out double insults, it makes no difference as long as I don't return to the take scene.
Still, I have the body of a returner, so I can't pour out double insults.
I want to piss you off a bit.
Is there anything appropriate to say?
At that time, a sentence came to mind.
It's not a word used now, 3 years? 5 years? It's been used since around that time, but I don't know what it means.
I just saw a lot of Koreans using it.
"What TV?"
A few years from now, you will be grateful that I told you about the trend, right?
* * *
There is a lot of content that deals with regression.
Novels, movies, comics, etc.
In the early days of my regression, I also looked at those things very intently.
To get an idea about the life of a regressor.
And because I want to be comforted.
There is no one who sympathizes with me anywhere in the world, but I was able to form a consensus with the returnees in the work.
There were quite a few things I was inspired by the work and tried to realize.
However, there are some points where I am dissatisfied with most of the regression content.
That's right, investment.
It's really easy to make money in work, but this isn't the case in real life.
The most absurd thing is that he made enormous profits by investing billions of dollars in stocks that would rise tens of times.
Realistically, it doesn't make sense.
Stocks have a limited number of issued shares, and there are even fewer issued shares available on the market.
If a stock rises several tens of times, the buying power already owns it all.
Of course, you could try to buy it by pouring in huge amounts of money every day.
Because I tried it too.
So do you know what happens?
The operational forces wonder what this is, so they hand over all the supplies and leave.
Because they are also afraid of situations they cannot control.
So, if you don't adjust the quantity appropriately, you could end up in an absurd situation.
For your information, I am someone who has been summoned by the FBI before.
They made huge market profits through future knowledge without even knowing that it was a sport played by high-ranking people.
The same goes for coins.
Bitcoin, which is traded by people all over the world, is a bit of an exception, but if you accumulate too much... … .
"… … greatness."
Maybe I was a little overindulged.
Anyway, what I want to say is that money cannot grow that fast.
Because you have to diversify the appropriate amount of money into a huge number of stocks that will not affect the market.
Still, my wealth was growing steadily, and there was no shortage of funds for the activities of the Sedalbaekil Crew.
After just one year, it will be full.
But there is work to do before that.
It was to meet lawyer Choi Ji-woon.
There is something to give and something to receive.
"How have you been?"
"I've been doing well. "I always see Mr. Han Si-on on TV, so I'm curious about his well-being."
"haha."
After an appropriate greeting, I got to the point.
The first thing to be paid was the fee.
I decided to give half of the property to lawyer Choi Ji-woon as a fee, but the real estate sale was delayed due to the selling period.
"Has the house sold already?"
"no. "I didn't sell it."
"Then what about this money?"
"I made some investments and made a big profit. "I will take it out of there and give it to you."
"… … "You really invested all your money in one place?"
"It can't possibly be like that. I invested diversifiedly. "I just got lucky."
"Huh, really. "This is not an amount you can earn by luck."
Choi Ji-woon, who checked the account while saying that, opened his eyes wide.
This is because much more money was deposited than what was originally supposed to be received.
"… … "Looking at your expression, I don't think I sent it by mistake."
"yes."
After that, I explained the relationship between Sedalbaekil, Ryan Entertainment, and M Show.
Choi Ji-woon, who was listening to my story attentively, asked.
"Are you trying to ask me something?"
"yes. "It's simple."
"Isn't this the amount for a simple favor?"
"Can't we think of it as a celebration of closing a deal? "I often want to borrow the lawyer's influence."
Yes, what I want from Choi Ji-woon is help.
Attorney Choi Ji-woon has such a huge fortune that he is managed by a large law firm for his win rate.
My father is a chief prosecutor, and my maternal grandfather is the chief justice of the Supreme Court, so I said everything.
If we were to limit ourselves to the entertainment industry, CEO Choi Dae-ho would have had greater influence, but the social structure is connected.
If Attorney Choi Ji-woon is on my side, I can avoid the pressure of Ryan and M Show and achieve what I want.
"What is your favor?"
"We need a social affairs reporter at the level of a manager or higher who can ignore requests for cooperation from the entertainment department."
"… … Are you really asking us to make the truth about Coming Up Next public?"
"no. "That's not what I want."
That's something you shouldn't do now.
It is something to aim for only after the music of Sedal101 Crew is completely imprinted in the minds of the public.
"sure?"
Choi Ji-woon's eyes widened at my continued explanation.
"… … "You're going to do something like that?"
