You know how mortified I was because of this?

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding?

Is that the best excuse you can come up with?

That's enough, ma'am.

- Who the hell are you? - I'm sorry.

I'm Gong Ji-hoon, the CEO of Artrium.

This painting is sold on our website.

I was actually planning to contact you regarding this.

So?

Since this misunderstanding arose due to an issue in our services,

I promise we'll compensate you for the damages.

(Artrium, CEO Gong Ji-hoon)

I'll be waiting for your call.

My apologies, once again.

Yeah, well. I'll do that.

You take care of this.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Does she work at CONSTAR?

What do you want to eat?

The Korean restaurant behind the office was quite nice.

Korean food? No way.

- Hello? - There's an emergency, Director Kim.

I'll be right there.

I'm sorry for inconveniencing you because of our services.

That's okay.

Please excuse me. I have matters to tend to.

One moment, please.

You can't go like this.

I'll give you a call.

- Hey. - Are you coming? It's about to start.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

Did something happen?

Apparently, there was an imitation on our website.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

Let's talk later.

(CONSTAR Residence Meeting)

Okay, why don't we have each of the CEOs introduce themselves?

Let's start with CEO Gong Ji-hoon from Artrium.

Ah, yes.

Artrium is a platform that sells the artworks

of rookie artists at mid to low prices.

Pleased to meet you all.

My company runs an online platform for design thinking

that helps resolve various urban issues.

I run a space for brands,

with an emphasis on brand-name products.

My company offers internationally popular Korean media contents

using VR and AR technologies...

Should we add VR technology, too?

Can you do it?

Thanks for your introduction, everyone.

And now, please welcome Director Kim Jae-hee

who recently joined CONSTAR.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Kim Jae-hee, and I recently joined CONSTAR.

I'm glad that I finally got to see all of you,

the CEOs of the startups in this building.

I'm looking forward to working with everyone.

We're recruiting participants for the upcoming CONSTAR IR Day.

We'll be providing you with the greatest scale of investment within Korea.

What's the procedure for that?

Those who passed the document screening

will go through the first presentation evaluation, an interim mission, mentoring

and the final IR presentation. We'll select the company

that will receive the investment accordingly.

It's been three years since my company launched.

What are the qualifications for participating?

Usually, companies that are more than three years old aren't qualified.

But for this project,

we've extended the company history limit to up to ten years.

How much investment funds do we get?

We'll provide up to 500 million won for seed funding,

and up to five billion won for series funding.

500 million won?

Hey, let's do this.

Thank you.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Gong Ji-hoon, the CEO of Artrium.

Ah, yes. Nice meeting you.

What kind of idea does your company offer?

We provide a solution service for screening imitations.

Screening imitations?

Yes, we intend to increase the credibility of artworks

by introducing an imitation screening solution.

Indeed. Having a specialized skill is a core point in platform businesses.

I believe it will help differentiate your company from the existing service.

Are you planning to participate in the upcoming IR Day?

Yes, we are.

I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you.

You can do it.

It's 500 million won, man.

(Application and Registration)

What have you been up to these days, CEO Oh?

These days, all the venture capitals

are interested in your next steps after selling the company.

I'm taking a break for now.

I'll be preparing for another business soon.

What do you think of investment techniques for artwork as a business idea?

I've been looking into that, actually.

My company is greatly interested in art technologies.

That's why, recently,

we'd been considering investing in an artwork sales platform called Artrium.

But the thing is that so far, they only act as a middle agent for sales.

That's why we didn't go through with the investment.

If you can give us a differentiated idea related to art technology,

we'll be more than happy to invest in it.

In that case, why don't I design one?

If you do, I'm sure you'll do a flawless job!

It really sounds like a great idea.

Wasn't Artrium a company that sells artworks by rookie artists?

Yes. They have quite a lot of young customers, too.

But

one thing that was kind of iffy was that the prices of their artworks are low.

If it were me, I would only sell works by renowned artists.

Why don't I come up with a business plan with a high-class strategy?

I knew I could count on you, CEO Oh.

After all, what matters in business is sales.

Definitely.

Sir, the Director Kim's here.

Is it time already?

Hello, Managing Director Kim.

I'm Director Kim Jae-hee from CONSTAR.

A pleasure.

I was told that a competent employee was coming today.

But I didn't expect someone so young.

I'm Kim Hyun-soo.

Pleased to meet you.

This is CEO Oh Ha-min.

Hello.

Hello.

I'll be off, then.

Oh, okay.

- I'll touch base with you again. - Okay.

Please take a seat.

I'm here today to say hello

after being newly appointed, and also make a proposal for the IR Day Project

CONSTAR is preparing for.

Yes, I've read the material you've sent.

The mayor also said that the city will be supporting funds for this.

So, there's no reason for us to not take it up.

I'm glad.

In any case, I’m hoping that this will serve as an opportunity

to reinforce the reputation of our VN Group.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I'll be sure not to gloss over anything in relation to that.

Thank you.

Well, then. You'll have to excuse me for today.

Ah, of course.

Why don't we talk over a meal next time?

Sounds great. I'll see you again, Managing Director Kim.

I heard that you became the director of CONSTAR.

What do you care?

Why not?

We went out once, didn't we?

Did we?

Aw, you're hurting my feelings.

Looks like this is your first project after being appointed as director.

Shouldn't you do a good job?

I'm already doing it well.

Why so serious?

I heard CONSTAR's hosting the IR Day.

Yeah. So, what?

You know I recently sold my company, right?

You exited?

Did you do an M&A?

Yeah, I sold my management rights.

But I recently happened to come up with a great business idea.

So, I'm going to join the IR pitching day.

Don't do it if you're going to take this as a joke.

This project

is for people who are truly sincere about their startups.

Don't you know that competence matters more than sincerity

in this industry?

- 70 percent? - Yeah!

But I think I can get it up to at least 80 percent

if I run the algorithm test again tomorrow.

Wow, man! You're awesome!

I didn't drink alcohol for nothing, man.

You're solving it smoothly like you drank that alcohol.

Anyway, I'm going home now.

Okay, take care.

- Yup. - Bye.

Hey.

Do you live here?

Yes.

Are you getting off work now?

Yeah, but...

What brings you here at this hour?

May I go inside for a moment?

I'm sorry?

(Post-credits scene)

Let me send your clothes to the drycleaner's.

Thank you.

Did you spill coffee on your shirt?

Oh, no. It's all stained.

That's alright.

Isn't this a male jacket?

Please send that to the drycleaner's, too.

Yes, ma'am.

Why does this smell familiar?
