First question.
The Terrible Nine. You know this work?
Tell me about the characters.
No volunteers?
I'll volunteer
The main characters, and his girlfriend.
His arch-nemesis, and the coach.
There's the mixed-race kid.
And the guy with glasses.
The guy with one arm.
And that beastly pitcher.
That'll do.
Next question.
You like comics about martial arts?
Tell me about the nine schools of martial arts.
I'll volunteer.
It does differ a bit from author to author.
But they refer to Shaolin and the other eight schools.
Who are the four major authors of this genre?
They are Kim, Yang, Ko, and Wa.
And their works are considered
the masterpieces of the genre.
If you want the specific titles...
That's all.
Last question.
There's this card game where the players
use three cards to make 10 or 20.
Tell me how you'd do this.
I...
I'll volunteer.
One, one, eight.
One, two, seven.
One, three, six.
Three, three, four.
And then... four, four...
One second.
In professional terms, please.
Is it OK if I answer the question?
koog koog pal, bbi lee chil, mool lang new...
We're lucky to run into a genius like you.
Welcome aboard. Congratulations!
721 to 724, please.
Ever since I was in grade school,
Whenever I'd see the Daehan company logo,
I could hardly contain my excitement.
Time and time again, I've told myself
I'll one day fulfill my dreams at Daehan!
And I've made myself into the type of worker
a corporation would want!
If you select me as an employee,
I'll dedicate myself to Daehan!
Well,... I like your energy.
So it's been your dream to work for Daehan?
Yes, sir!
You should've gone there. Why did you come here?
Pardon?
We're Sinsung.
SINSUNG, INCORPORATED.
My apologies.
Let me try again.
Ever since I was in grade school,
Whenever I'd see the Sinsung logo...
Mr. Kang Ho.
Yes, sir!
Go! Go!
Why don't you just die?
Go out and die, you no good son-of-a-gun.
How can you eat?
Just looking at you turns my stomach!
You're turning 30 any day now.
You should be able to support yourself.
But you can't even get a job, for God's sake!
Young people face problems find jobs these days.
You can't even remember the company's name?
And you got kicked out on the spot?
I can't even face the neigbors!
You scoundrel!
That was pretty bad...
Quiet!
As if you can say anything!
You can't even make money.
Yet you hold your head up...
Get out!
Do you really want me to?
Yes, get out. And don't come back.
I don't care if you live or die.
Take care of your own life, you scoundrel!
Dad.
What?
Do you have $20?
What?
If you don't have $20....
I'll take $10.
Why, I should just...
You scroundel!
You'd better not come back home.
If you do, you're dead!
Come back, and you die!
Mom!
Do you want me to let you die?
So hilarious!
Let me have a bite! I'm freezing to death!
Let go of it! Give it to me!
I just want to get a sip of the soup. I'm sorry, I ate the whole thing...
Didn't burn your lips?
Of course!
I should've move earlier. Just say I hate you, at least you should get a job and leave!
Scoot over!
Hey! Why can't you be nice to me? What do you think I am?
Sadness
Yes! sadness! but then why are you like this to me?
How many chapters are there in this series?
18 chapters
Big ending?
Yeah
-Is it interesting? -This story is pretty interesting
Just like how Rong Man and Bong Sam are together.
Hello? What? How many people are there?
Oh ok. No, I know now!
Oh! I was in a bad mood, but this news make me feel better.
Who is it?
Wanna go drink?
Where do you think I get the money?
Bong Sam invited us!
It's just a casual get-together.
They're just some high school buddies.
I've been meaning to introduce you to them.
One passed the teachers' exam last year and teaches now.
One just came back after getting his MBA in the States.
Want me to pick you up?
Okay.
I'll see you there then.
I'm sorry, but I'm rather busy right now.
Are we...
Are we really breaking up like this?
We went over this already.
But you said you loved me.
Mi-ok.
No, Ms. Lee Mi-ok.
I once told you about two kinds of people
I hate the most.
Remember?
Those who cling and those who cry and beg.
And both apply to you.
Let's be mature about this.
You're very smart, so you understand.
It's stopped raining, I'm running late.
Let me just ask you one more thing.
Sure.
From the very beginning...
Did you mean to play me and throw me away?
Think whatever will make it easier for you.
So my genuine feelings...
They meant nothing to you?
Do you really think we make a good couple?
And if we ever run into each other at work,
Please don't act as if you know me.
How do I look?
Sexy.
How about me?
Not too bad. You look young.
Do I?
Welcome.
Come in, guys...
We need to come up with a plan.
You got any in mind?
Should we redecorate the interior?
With what money?
We can hire a young girl.
Like that's free?
But if there were a young girl here,
at least customers wouldn't leave immediatly after coming in.
Why do we need a young girl?
You look sexy, and I look young.
And we have the wisdom that comes from experience.
True.
Welcome!
And what brings you here?
Give me a bottle of liquor.
Sure thing.
Why are you walking around in the rain?
You'll catch your death.
Got anything stronger?
This guy is the teacher.
Hello, I'm Suh Hyun-ah.
As advertised, you're a real beauty.
Thank you.
And he's the one with the MBA.
I've heard so much about you.
The pleasure is all mine.
And he's a top researcher in his field.
Nice to meet you.
You have such a nice skin.
Thank you.
Let's toast to a beautiful woman!
Hey, guys!
Cheers!
Eat up.
It's been so long!
Sure...
You've been good?
Sure...
Last I heard you were in England.
How have you been?
I heard you were recruited by the LK Group.
So you're treating to celebrate your new job?
Well, not really...
LK's been chosen the most desirable company to work for.
Really?
You're really are amazing man.
And who's this?
Bong-sam and I went to the same university.
Is that right?
Just classmates?
I think there's more to this.
Be honest
She's your girlfriend right?
No, it's not like that.
Oh? Even better then.
What do you do?
I work as and adminstrative assistant at LK.
LK? LK?
Come on man. Don't deny it!
It's been a long time. Let's toast.
Cheers!
Where are you going?
Restroom. Why?
Go ahead.
I don't need your permission, punk.
Who invited those losers?
Let them enjoy themselves.
Kang-Ho is still a slacker isn't he?
Probably.
Didn't Sung-tae do better than us in school?
A lot of good that did him.
Life can be so strange.
Talk about ending up at the bottom of the food chain.
What losers...
Let's go, Sung-tae.
Why?
Thanks for the food.
We're going home.
But we're just getting started.
Stop eating, and get up now!
You're welcome to leave.
What?
Is Sung-tae your flunky?
What was that?
Why would you say something like that?
I'm not his flunky!
Come on, guys.
You can stay. I'm leaving.
You came here uninvited, and drank and ate for free.
And your pride gets bruised by a few words?
It's not as if no one knows you're hard up.
You came to get a free meal, so eat.
Your sudden burst of pride doesn't suit you.
I'm sorry for being so proud.
I'm leaving. See you guys.
Let's go somewhere else for one more round of drinks.
How can you eat?
You're turning 30 any day now.
You should be able to support yourself.
But you can't even get a job, for God's sake!
WANTED: INSTRUCTORS
Yes, the 21st century is waiting for my arrival!
Hey!
How's everyone doing?
They're all waiting. Please come with me.
As according to the chairman's wishes,
this group of workers was handpicked
and groomed to be LK's cream of the crop.
We chose them from high school students
who excelled in various scholastic competitions.
And we sent these students to elite universities,
and paid for their entire education.
We exposed them to various programs.
They'll go through the same training process
as the regular new hires.
However, they'll form the core of this company
and bring to it a new vision and a sense of mission.
Please introduce yourselves.
These are the young prodigies
who will usher in the 21st century here at LK.
How do you do? My name is Lee Bong-sam.
We ask for your support and encouragement.
How do you do? My name is Lee Bong-sam.
What does he do when goes out?
Why is he sleeping till sundown?
Scoundrel...
STUDENT BY DAY MOGUL BY NIGHT
How nice is that?
My, My...
The kid's not even 30, and he's made so much money.
And he's on TV and so articulate too.
What have I done to deserve this?
Scoot!
Out of my way!
Hello?
Who? Mr. Kang?
May I ask who's calling?
Madam Choe?
You must be his mother. May I speak to Mr. Kang?
What a crazy broad.
Who's this Madam Choe?
I swear I don't know who she is.
Mr. Kang?
Now you're having an affair too?
Honey...
You well know I don't have enough money to even have an affair.
Mother?
You turn your wife into your mother?
Honey, this is a misunderstanding.
I swear I'm innocent.
I'll kill this crazy broad.
Hello?
Oh, hi.
Where?
In front of our house?
Right now?
Hello?
What should I do?
Hey!
Get up!
Why?
My friends are coming.
I don't want you two to come out till they leave.
But I have to use the bathroom.
Hold it in.
You're lucky my friends are here.
You have a death wish?
Hey there, girlfriend.
So we finally get to see your place.
You should've told me you were coming.
I would've cleaned the house.
Well, keep in touch, girl!
Have a seat.
Your son find a job yet?
He opened his own business.
His own business?
His girlfriend's family opened a small clinic for him.
Your son went to medical school?
This house is smaller.
Yes, you poor thing.
Well, that's life.
How much did your husband blow on stocks?
His severance pay is all gone?
Does your husband have a brain in his head or not?
Anyway, what does your husband do these days?
He's very busy.
Lots of places want him to work for them.
As you know, he's very capable.
I can't hold it in, Dad.
Just for a little while.
Your mom's in the worst mood ever.
Just hold it in.
Who is the Madam Choe, by the way?
At least your older son has a good job.
Indeed.
What if he were just sitting around the house too?
What company does he work for?
LK? Samsung?
SK? LG? Hyundai?
Don't be so nosy.
I don't think I can do it.
Just hold it in a little longer.
Just for awhile....
Come on...
Hello.
Hi.
Honey.
You have the nerve to say hi?
Mr. Kang, how about tonight?
I'm busy.
How about tomorrow?
I have an interview.
I called you at home this morning.
Why?
Just because...
If you find a job, will you quit this one?
Of course!
Mr. Kang!
Hi...
I hope you don't find a job.
You're so cute.
No, sexy.
So charming.
Until next time!
You're free to join us for lunch.
No, thank you...
If you change your mind, join us at the restaurant.
Sure.
Look at those muscles...
I am pretty sexy, yes...
You're the instructor?
Honey... This is a misunderstanding.
My dear Mr. Kang has nothing to do with this.
Your dear Mr. Kang?
Honey...
You're a dead man!
I'm sorry, Mr. Kang.
I realize that it's not your fault.
But before there are more ugly incidents,
it'd be better if we part ways.
This is for the work you've done so far.
Hey.
What's gotten into you offering to buy me lunch?
Come on. Don't say that.
What happened to your face?
It's nothing. Don't worry.
I won't.
I'm hungry. Let's go eat.
Actually, I came to tell you something.
I thought about telling you over the phone.
But I figured a farewell deserves a face-to-face talk.
Come on. What's wrong?
What do you mean a farewell?
I had a good time.
But don't call me ever again.
Are you doing this because I can't find a job?
Let go.
I'll find a job.
You?
What?
You don't think I can find a job?
You find a job and I'll shoot myself.
What are you doing?
Isn't it obvious?
Filling out applications?
I'm going to apply to LK myself.
LK?
Envious of Bong-sam?'
Lucky you. You went to a good college,
so you can at least apply to a place like that.
Look at you.
Got drunk by yourself and now picking a fight.
I thought you didn't have any money.
Weren't you a dance instructor or something?
Just turn yourself into a gigolo?
Forget it if you don't want any, punk!
Hey!
I never said I didn't want any.
Hey!
What's wrong?
Are you crying?
If I get a job...
She said she'll shoot herself.
Who?
Who'd say such an ignorant thing?
How can she blame a depressed economy
due to worldwide causes on an individual?
This worldwide economic slump
is the direct result of the recession in the US.
And our nation, which is dependent on the US economy,
has been hit especially hard.
And it's hit people looking for jobs the hardest.
And the problem of unemployment among the young?
This is actually a global epidemic!
It won't be resolved just by stimulating the economy.
A fundamental paradigm shift in supply and demand is needed!
So Why...
Why?
Why should you and I be held responsible?
What time are you turning in your application?
Why?
Let's go together.
Why?
I was thinking this over in my sleep.
I think it'd be good for me to apply to LK too.
Why is that?
If I'm going to get rejected anyway,
It sounds better to get rejected from a big company.
Even though the idea of seeing Bong-sam is a turnoff...
This is good.
There are so many people here.
And just think of the online applicants.
The odds of getting a job here must be 100 to 1 at least.
But these big corporations are something else.
Look, marble everywhere.
She's hot.
Who?
The one accepting the applications.
She's not too bad either.
There's something to be said for these corporations.
Hey, where have I seen her before?
How do I know her?
You know her?
No...
Come on. Hit me in the head.
So you managed to stay alive.
