Peninsula: I can steal the luck of disgraced celebrities

Chapter 125 Takagi-san's Fans

Yang Hyun-suk's idol is South Korean President Park Chung-hee.

Born in 1969, he caught the tail end of the Han River miracle.

In my childhood memories, the village was still full of mud-brick houses, electric lights were a rarity, and the smell of a neighbor killing a chicken could be smelled all over the street.

When he was ten years old, the thatched house was gone, asphalt roads were paved to his doorstep, and even the old lady Jin at the village entrance, who always loved to curse, was using an electric rice cooker.

1972到1976年，韩国年均经济增长率达到8.5%；到了1978年甚至到了11.6%。

These numbers are etched in Yang Hyun-suk's mind, clearer than any artist contract he has ever signed.

Heavy chemical industrialization, export-oriented economy, and development driven by the mobilization of the entire population.

These textbook terms are not just concepts to Yang Hyun-suk; they represent the process of witnessing a muddy road transform into a highway.

Since World War II, South Korea is the only country with a population of over 5000 million to date to have successfully transitioned from a developing country to a developed country.

On this path of development, it was Park Chung-hee who led the Koreans to take the first and most crucial step.

South Korea, under President Park's leadership, should have made progress more steadily and rapidly.

And all of this was ruined by that entomologist, Kim Jae-gyu!

Yang Hyun-suk gets so angry he grinds his teeth every time he thinks of that name.

On the bookshelf in his office, Park Chung-hee's quotes and biographies took up an entire floor.

There are hardcovers, paperbacks, out-of-print editions, and even a Japanese version that I found in a used bookstore in Japan.

Whenever I encounter something I can't decide on, I just flip through a couple of pages and the answer is there.

For example, the first time he led his company's artists on an international hospitality trip.

What they were learning was President Park's decision in 1961 to sell 32 Koreans to the United States to die in the Vietnam War.

In return, they received substantial aid from the United States in terms of economy and military equipment.

The United States has not only significantly reduced its military spending, but it can also boast that it has gained international support.

This is a win-win situation!

According to Yang Hyun-seok, he arranged and sponsored Korean women to go abroad and helped foreigners learn foreign languages.

It can promote Korean culture and enhance the country's "soft power" and global influence, drive economic growth and industrial upgrading, promote social cohesion and national pride, and help international cultural exchange and mutual understanding.

This is a win-win situation!

Why would anyone object?

Now that this has happened, isn't it delaying my uncle from making money?

Kids these days are so clueless.

Especially this year.

YG is scheduled to launch on KOSDAQ in November.

If all goes well, it will be the second South Korean entertainment company to go public after SM Entertainment.

The prospectus has been submitted, the roadshow schedule has been set, and the underwriters are urging us for the materials every day.

At this critical juncture, something went wrong.

Yang Hyun-suk put down the quotes and picked up the trainee file on the table.

It was just a routine matter.

Every year around this time, he personally reviews the new recruits' profiles to see if there are any promising talents worth nurturing.

He didn't trust his subordinates with the task of selecting people; you can't teach someone to have good judgment.

The girl in the photo has her hair tied in a ponytail and is smiling brightly.

The resume was brief, the training evaluation was good, and the vocal teacher gave it an A1.

But Yang Hyun-suk wasn't looking at those things.

He was looking at the line in the background check section: "Had lived at the Sunflower Home Welfare Center in Incheon for three years."

He once heard Director Incheon talk about the dean's deeds at a dinner party; he was a guy that even Yang Hyun-suk found despicable.

Those kinds of guys can't be shot with the smallest diameter bullets.

Otherwise, he might get his way.

He and the bureau chief have been partners for many years. As early as the 90s, they cooperated together with the Night Emperor, Master Yi.

He was responsible for finding female sex workers, with the police acting as a protective shield, while Master Yi provided the channels and venues.

Later, Master Yi was investigated for tax issues, and the high-ranking police officers behind him couldn't protect him; in fact, a whole bunch of them were dismissed.

The remaining forces are now being taken over by the second-in-command, Master Bu.

After learning about Jin Yisheng's background, the first thing he did was to call her into his office alone.

The door closed.

"I've seen your file." Yang Hyun-suk leaned back in his chair, tapping his finger on the table.

"Sunflower House, I roughly know what you went through there."

The girl opposite did not speak.

"People who have had that kind of experience should be more adaptable than the average person."

He said this in a very casual tone, as if he were discussing a regular business deal: "If you want to debut, I can give you resources, but you have to cooperate with some of the company's arrangements."

He didn't say it outright, and there's no need to say it outright.

"This kind of thing can be over in the blink of an eye. It's much easier than what you've experienced before."

The girl's expression changed, but not out of fear.

Yang Hyun-suk has seen too many scared expressions; he can handle those kinds of expressions.

But what appeared on Kim Ye-seung's face wasn't fear, but something even more unsettling.

It's disappointment.

The expression on your face when you're jolted awake from a dream.

"Why are you making that face?" Yang Hyun-suk frowned.

He hates this the most. Since you're in the same ditch as him, don't pretend to be a pure white lotus.

"In this industry, naivety is not an advantage, it's a disease."

Jin Yisheng did not answer him.

She lowered her head, reached into her pocket, and pulled out her phone.

"It won't matter who you call."

Yang Hyun-suk stood up and walked around the desk.

"You've dealt with people from Incheon before. You called the police, and then what? Do you think anyone will come this time?"

Jin Yisheng held his phone up and took a step back.

"Don't come any closer."

Give me your phone.

"Don't come any closer!"

Yang Hyun-suk reached out to grab it.

He didn't use much force; to him, it was just taking away a cell phone.

But while Jin Yisheng was dodging, his back hit the windowsill.

The window was open.

Yang Hyun-suk rented this building as a training ground for his trainees because it was cheap.

The old building's window railings were in disrepair, and the property management had reported it several times, but he had never approved the repair funds.

Kim Ye-seung lost his balance.

The entire process takes no more than three seconds.

Yang Hyun-suk stood at the window and looked down.

Then he picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground, hung up the call to 112, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the fingerprints, and threw it down.

He neither called an ambulance nor took the opportunity to leave.

Instead, he went back to his desk, sat down, picked up the book of Park Chung-hee's quotes, and turned to the page with the folded corner.

After watching for a while, he made a phone call.

"Hello, it's me. There's been a bit of a problem with Hosung. Could you send someone to handle it?"

"Yes, the surveillance footage must be cleared by tonight."

After hanging up the phone, he continued to look through Park Chung-hee's quotes.

If you rely too heavily on the rule of law, you won't get things done.

If you have important things to do, don't restrict yourself.

He closed the book, placed it on the corner of the table, picked up a pen, and crossed out a line in the risk disclosure section of the prospectus.

This dead man must not affect the listing.
