The night of Sophia's concert arrived.
Seung-Hyun's plan unfolded.
Hye-Rim sabotaged the sound system.
Sophia's performance imploded.
Ji-Hoon's anxiety peaked.
"This is it," Ji-Hoon whispered.
Alex Chen watched Sophia's meltdown.
"Fascinating," Alex said. "Seung-Hyun's tactics are ruthless."
Seung-Hyun's past revealed:
Orphaned at 15, Seung-Hyun rose through the music industry ranks.
His mentor, Alex Chen, guided him.
Sophia's sabotage destroyed Seung-Hyun's first artist.
Now, Seung-Hyun seeks revenge.
As Sophia's empire crumbled:
"Seung-Hyun's victory comes with a price."
As Sophia's concert descended into chaos, Ji-Hoon's team watched anxiously.
"Seung-Hyun's plan worked," Park-Jin whispered.
"But at what cost?" Ha-Young asked.
Ji-Hoon's eyes scanned the venue. "We need to ensure Sophia doesn't retaliate."
Seung-Hyun appeared, his expression triumphant.
"Sophia's empire is crumbling," Seung-Hyun declared.
Alex Chen approached, his presence commanding attention.
"Seung-Hyun, your tactics impress," Alex said.
Seung-Hyun bowed. "Thank you, sir."
Alex Chen's gaze shifted to Ji-Hoon.
"And you, Ji-Hoon. Your determination is admirable."
Ji-Hoon's wariness grew. "What do you want, Mr. Chen?"
Alex smiled. "I'll make you an offer. Join me, and I'll ensure Sophia never harms you again."
Ji-Hoon hesitated.
Seung-Hyun's eyes narrowed. "Don't trust him, Ji-Hoon."
Alex Chen chuckled. "Seung-Hyun, you know me better."
As tensions escalated:
Sophia's anger boiled over.
"Eric, destroy Seung-Hyun," Sophia spat.
Eric's expression turned grim. "I'll handle it."
Meanwhile:
Hye-Rim's past haunted her.
Memories of Sophia's cruelty resurfaced.
Hye-Rim's resolve strengthened.
"I'll protect Ji-Hoon and Seung-Hyun," Hye-Rim vowed.
Seung-Hyun's past revealed:
Orphaned at 15, Seung-Hyun rose through the music industry ranks.
His mentor, Alex Chen, guided him.
Sophia's sabotage destroyed Seung-Hyun's first artist.
Now, Seung-Hyun seeks revenge.
Alex Chen's past revealed:
A self-made billionaire, Alex Chen dominates the music industry.
His motives shrouded in mystery.
As Sophia's empire crumbled:
"Seung-Hyun's victory comes with a price."
Alex Chen's offer weighed heavily on Ji-Hoon's mind.
"Join me, and I'll protect you," Alex said.
Ji-Hoon hesitated.
Seung-Hyun's warning echoed.
"Don't trust him."
Ji-Hoon sought guidance.
"Ha-Young, what do you think?" Ji-Hoon asked.
Ha-Young's expression turned serious. "We can't trust Alex Chen."
Park-Jin nodded. "We need to consider our options."
Yoon-Ah's concern deepened. "What if Alex Chen betrays us?"
Ji-Hoon's resolve strengthened.
"I'll make the decision," Ji-Hoon said.
As Ji-Hoon pondered:
Eric launched his revenge.
"Sophia's orders," Eric said.
Seung-Hyun's team faced Eric's wrath.
"Hye-Rim, protect Ji-Hoon," Seung-Hyun ordered.
Hye-Rim stood firm.
"I won't let Eric harm Ji-Hoon."
