I voluntarily appeared before the Fair Trade Commission.
I haven't received an attendance request yet, but I think it would be a good idea to process it quickly since fan club recruitment will begin soon.
The Fair Trade Commission seemed embarrassed when they received my call, but they seemed to be happy because they were able to process it quickly.
Well, it's a natural reaction.
This is just a group of civil servants.
They want noisy issues to be resolved as quickly as possible, and they don't want any work to be created in the process.
So we satisfied what they wanted.
"No, this… … ."
The Fair Trade Commission employee looks bewildered.
"Please tell me."
"So, the source of funds for all of these actions is Mr. Han Si-on's personal funds?"
"yes. What I gave you earlier is a document that proves the factual relationship. "I wrote it together with my legal and tax attorneys."
"Yeah, that's right. "Let's take a look first."
A Fair Trade Commission employee began going through the documents.
Actually, there is no need to review the documents today.
A person in charge has not yet been assigned, and the investigation has not officially begun.
Should we call it a kind of pre-consensus investigation?
So, the current document review was purely an act to satisfy my own curiosity.
However, rather than being satisfied, my curiosity seemed to have grown.
"Is the income listed here correct? "You really got this much return on investment?"
"you're right."
"No, how?"
"I tried hard."
"Did I not try enough… … ?"
The employee, who had muttered something without realizing it, looked surprised and managed to keep his expression on his face.
"We need to check the facts again, but if this is true, an announcement will be made soon."
"thank you."
It was a natural result.
If we ignored Ryan Entertainment and signed a contract with another company, there is a possibility that it could lead to a fight over legal interpretation.
It may not be a fight that Ryan can win, but it gets quite annoying if the press play drags on.
This was because the group image was damaged.
But we became independent.
Who can argue with this?
The only ones who say, 'If you don't sign with us, you'll be in big trouble,' are the mafia or the Yakuza.
Since it is impossible to fight logically, Ryan Enter will only be ridiculed if he keeps holding on.
Perhaps this fact will reach Choi Dae-ho's ears sooner or later.
The Fair Trade Commission probably also has connections.
"Will I be contacted when an investigator is assigned?"
"sure."
"All right."
There is no room for the investigator to come out crooked.
Because behind me is lawyer Choi Ji-woon.
Even if you think about it again, it was a good decision to bet half of your fortune on Choi Ji-woon.
That's where the first step was taken.
As I was leaving the office, I saw an employee running towards me, panting.
"excuse me… … ."
I looked at it because I wanted to know something, and it whispered.
"Are there any stocks with good prospects?"
aha.
Actually, lawyer Choi Ji-woon said a similar story yesterday.
I knew I made money through investments, but I didn't know it would be this much.
Actually, from my perspective, I earned it by adjusting it appropriately.
It could be dangerous to accumulate trading records at an absurd level, so I intentionally included stocks that would cause losses.
Anyway, I guess I should give you an answer.
"Wouldn't 2017 be good overall? "Because I like intestines."
"is it so?"
"yes. But there are stocks that you should never buy."
"What is it?"
"Ryan Enter."

The issue of Coming Up Next manipulation triggered by Han Si-on did not seem to be going away.
It was natural.
Coming Up Next is a program that exceeded 11% in viewership ratings, and had an even greater impact online.
This means that there are a huge number of viewers who can add one word at a time.
Now, the timing has passed for certain forces to manipulate public opinion.
The public's explicit reaction began to lead the issue.
And that public opinion was one-sided.
- Haha, no, even if you do this, you still lost the take scene?
-That's why haha it's ugly haha.
-But wasn't Takesin the winner?
-If they were this biased, I wouldn't trust the judges' evaluation.
-ㅇㅇㅇ That's right. What I believe in is the music score, but is it comparable?
-I think Under the Streetlights will be in the top 30 on the annual chart haha.
-Rezume is almost confirmed haha.
Of course, Choi Dae-ho did not just sit back and relax.
An effort was made to somehow sway public opinion.
[Ryan Entertainment will take strong action against the spread of false information.]
[Coming Up Next, "There is no favoritism toward specific performers"]
A rebuttal article was published on the surface.
[The story about Lee Ion leaving his former agency]
[Koo Tae-hwan school violence controversy (+ evidence attached)]
[Do you know who Choi Jae-seong's parents are?]
Below the surface, we tried to create another noise.
I knew it was an unreasonable number, but public opinion was too strong to let it go like this.
But the public wasn't stupid either.
- Hahahaha I think people are idiots. Where is the evidence here? Haha, it's all just brain information.
-Rahada Chui-ian.
-Ryan PR Team's keyboard is going to break haha.
-Does the stone slab look easy?
If the order of attack was changed.
No, if Han Sion's attack had been a little less sharp, it wouldn't have gotten to this point.
However, Han Sion's attack was so sharp as to pierce the lungs.
The suspicion of tampering was transferred to the intention of planning Coming Up Next, and they even dribbled it into suspicion of manipulation.
Of course, since we used numerous PR agencies, there are many awkward points if you look closely.
But the public is no longer interested in that point.
What they were curious about was whether the take scene program was conducted with songs prepared in advance.
Of course, there was no way I could explain it.
-Ryan, please shut your mouth haha.
-Isn't it obvious that you can't say anything?
-I think the title of your debut song is also being changed on a whim.
-Liar: Enter.
- Hahahahahaha I tore it.
-Liar hahahahahaha
It is true that Take Scene performed Coming Up Next with a song prepared in advance.
In the end, Ryan Entertainment had no choice but to issue a statement.
-
hello. This is Ryan Enter.
In order to clarify our position on false facts that are currently spreading indiscriminately on the Internet... … .
-
In summary, it was like this.
All of these stories are lies and misunderstandings caused by exaggerated facts.
Coming Up Next's final mission was to sing freely, and there were no restrictions on song selection.
Accordingly, Take Scene only selected songs created during their trainee days.
It is true that the song was produced in the past, but it is not a song in which the company's capital was invested.
It was a song created by Take Scene members for fun with an internal composer with whom they were close friends, and the song filled with memories was simply sung for the Coming Up Next stage.
The article spread on the Internet is a false propaganda using a recording of the time.
We will definitely find those who spread the information and take strong legal action.
It wasn't a good explanation.
The message contained in the explanation was close to 'If you want to believe it, believe it, if you don't, don't.'
But it wasn't a bad explanation either.
Although it is all a novel, there was no problem with the logical structure.
Choi Dae-ho's thoughts were simple.
An issue on the Internet may flare up as if it were going to consume the whole world, but it subsides within a week.
So all you have to do is crush the time.
In any case, in the future, it will be remembered as 'an incident that even explained something that needed no explanation because it was a baseless slander.'
It actually seemed to work.
After blocking all additional reports and activating a viral line to spread positive public opinion about the explanation, the buzz volume began to decrease.
Of course, Hansion will continue to hold on to this issue.
Somehow, when I get on top, I have to pour out pounds.
However, the public does not react sensitively to the same issues.
If there is no greater stimulation, it will quickly fade and quickly become a piece of cake that has already cooled down.
"You son of a bitch… … ."
So even if a thousand dollars were boiling inside, I had to be patient for now.
Right now, even Choi Dae-ho can't attack three months and a hundred days.
Until the take scene debuts, there should not be any noise that ties the take scene and three months together.
It was the moment when Choi Dae-ho thought such a thing.
Jiing-
The phone vibrated and spat out a message.
The sender was Han Si-on.
[Representative, wouldn't it be better to stop here? There's no need to hurt each other, right?]
Same message as last time.
It must be mocking.
Choi Dae-ho, filled with anger, tried to call Si-ion Han but stopped.
Suddenly, an assumption occurred to me.
'What would have happened if I had said I would know last time?'
Take Scene is a team created with a huge amount of money invested.
Since we produced an entire entertainment program, I've said everything.
So, if this team were to fail, Ryan Enter could have temporarily stumbled.
However, because of Han Si-on, the situation became quite unstable.
We can't postpone our debut schedule any longer because we don't know how the public will react.
At the same time, what the CEO of Double M Entertainment said comes to mind.
"It would be better to reconcile now. Just let it go. "Before I come back with even bigger anger."
If that really happened... … .
At that moment, Choi Dae-ho was startled.
This is a ridiculous idea.
I've competed with others my whole life, but I've never once thought like this.
But why... … .
Did you have this thought?
'I've been tired these days.'
Choi Dae-ho, whose anger had cooled down, sent a message similar to last time.
[Try it. If you are confident.]
There was no reply.
As I look at my quiet cell phone, my anger disappears, but another emotion fills me up.
But I don't know what this feeling is.
Unpleasant? Reluctant?
It's similar, but it seems a little different.
Choi Dae-ho left the office with that thought in mind.
But the next day.
Choi Dae-ho realized the true nature of his feelings while watching another issue that covered the entire Internet.
That's not unpleasant... … .
[Take scene fades, apology video leaked.]
[Why did Fade apologize to Han Sion?]
[Behind the scenes of filming revealed through Coming Up Next staff.]
It was fear.
* * *
The apology video Fade sent me was of an ambiguous nature to use.
To be precise, if you reveal it too hastily, you are likely to face a backlash.
Fade is quite clever and apologized in a perfectly condescending manner, so if I make a mistake, I might end up bullying him.
But didn't I say that a while ago?
The most cruel reaction from the public is 'That's right.'
Now is the perfect time.
A time when Ryan Entertainment's public relations department is trying to remain silent.
Time to keep your eyes wide open, hoping the hot potato will cool down.
At this time, even if only one negative issue comes up.
-Then that's right. Choi Dae-ho was wrong. Those who said the take scene was pitiful were also thoughtless. They didn't know?
-What the hell did you do to express your bad mood and cause trouble?
- Looking at what the staff posted, I heard that Fade was applied to Han Si-on during a mission and revealed the truth haha.
-Oh, I did it during that karaoke mission haha.
It goes like this.
Do you know what happens next?
[(Entertainment zoom-in) Controversy over manipulation and personality. A dark shadow follows an audition program with an audience rating of 11%.]
[The public's prickly gaze pours in on Take Scene's debut.]
[A deformed structure destined for controversy? What is M Show & Ryan Entertainment's stake in the production of Coming Up Next?]
Choi Dae-ho's control over the media disappears.
At this point, the show business industry is bound to take notice.
Now Choi Dae-ho is not pressuring for three months and a hundred days... … .
Competing in the ring.
Watching a fight is always fun.
It would be more fun if I could make money by broadcasting it.
