(Episode 9)
(Visitors)
I've been appointed to this team officially.
I guess this is my first day as an actual auditor.
This feels nice.
That's my place.
It's strange.
Why am I having this leery feeling?
Why am I feeling so leery all of a sudden?
Gosh, it's hot!
Are you crazy? You almost spilled it on the massage chair.
Well, I didn't.
What's with you? Don't tell me you...
Right, I slept here. Got a problem with it?
Han Sol was very sensitive with her exams coming up yesterday,
so I packed my things and came here.
Don't you get paid? Why would you put up a tent in the office?
And you call yourself a banker?
You should get all your living expenses from your parents...
and save as much salary as you can...
in order to reduce at least a bit of your gift tax in the future.
Must I teach you this kind of stuff too?
How carefree. So what did you do with your pocket money?
Why did you have to crawl out of that tent and startle me?
I've lost support for now.
That is why I asked you if you had any extra room.
But you said you wouldn't offer any even if you had one.
This is what you pay for it.
All right, let's put that aside.
Aren't you way younger than me?
Why are you talking so casually to me?
You're the newest member in this team.
- You want me to be polite to you? - How old...
are you? While we're at it,
- let's show each other's ID cards. - Goodness.
Time flies.
I better go wash my face.
What is it?
Do you want me to sign on something this early?
That's not it, ma'am.
Are you going to sit back and watch?
What do you mean?
Make it easy to understand.
It's about Vice-president Lee Hae Gon.
He came to the bank all of a sudden...
and drove out every executive on important positions.
I'm sure he's planning to take over those places.
But others are following him without knowing his intention.
It's for their survival, so what can we do about it?
- You want to change sides too? - Ms. Do.
Are you doubting my loyalty?
Never mind then.
Ms. Do.
Vice-president Yook, the eyesore, isn't present at the moment.
His position is vacant.
You should quickly make some kind of an attempt.
Let's see.
The budget which was enforced for the PR Team last year.
I told you to figure out their unplanned expenditure...
and submit the report to me.
It was a month ago.
What about the branch promotion plan?
Is it still not ready?
You have work to do,
so stop meddling with office politics.
- I apologize. - Do you want to be a politician?
- Or a member of the Congress? - No.
- That's too much for me to handle. - Right?
You don't think you're that eligible either, do you?
Too bad.
The way I see it,
even your current position is too much for you.
While we're at it,
I should appoint you to a marketing branch...
- outside the city. - Please don't.
I'll submit...
the promotion plan and the report right away.
Good.
Can you do it...
- before I appoint you? - Sure thing.
I'll get them ready immediately.
Good morning.
"Good morning"?
You think I'm having a good morning?
What business do you have with me again this early?
I'm here to have a cup of tea with you.
Why?
Now that Vice-president Yook is gone,
do you want to check if I'm all alone?
I'm still alive.
Just get to the point.
Okay then.
We haven't settled with the Gongju Branch close-down case.
That again?
I already told you everything the other day.
Your branch wasn't there on the list, satisfied?
Right, you said so.
Let me ask you one more thing then.
Was Nogyung Branch on your list or not?
What do you mean?
I found out something during my last visit to that branch.
Their performance was way below Gongju Branch's.
But they didn't get shut down.
Don't you think it's strange?
Vice-president Yook wanted to cut down...
Ms. Do's influence during the branch shutdowns.
Part of the branches under Ms. Do's influence got shut down...
even though they weren't in the bottom 20 percent.
A few of other branches survived thanks to it.
How could you do such a thing without a hitch?
Besides, Gongju Branch had nothing to do with Ms. Do.
- Why on earth did it get shut down? - Look, Auditor No.
Did you forget my advice?
This is a war-zone.
You just do as you're told.
This can happen to those branches in the top 10 percent too.
You just need to change the evaluation standards.
And who decides on that? The upper management.
And I told you many times already.
Gongju Branch wasn't on the list when it was in my hands.
Is Vice-president Yook that upper management?
Come to your senses.
20 percent of the entire branches got shut down.
It was about hundreds of branches.
Of course, it wasn't just Vice-president Yook.
Wait.
What do you mean?
- Does it mean... - No.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Whatever the truth is,
I'm just going to think it was Vice-president Yook's sole decision.
Now, leave.
I already have a lot on my plate besides it.
Is it the data about Ms. Jin Seon Mi?
Yes, I have some things to look into.
I'll take it back to its original place when I'm done.
- Don't make me do it later. - Oh, yes.
I'm going to make you do it.
Why do you hate me?
Can you just do your work?
You're talking rudely to me now.
If you want me to be polite, show me your ID card.
Is something wrong, sir?
The reason why Gongju Branch was shut down...
and Nogyung Branch survived instead.
I think its clue lies here.
Within Ms. Jin's data?
Branches under Ms. Do's influence were included...
on the close-down list under Vice-president Yook's orders.
Some branches like Nogyung Branch were lucky to survive thanks to it.
Were you one of Ms. Do's people?
- Now you're spewing nonsense. - Gosh.
Why don't you go wash your shirt?
What's that stain?
There's no way he'd be involved in such a thing.
When Mr. Seo mentioned the same person was registered...
as the director of Seomin Agency and Seomin Distribution,
I thought it'd be a coincidence.
Bae Dong Seok was registered as the director of both companies.
Seomin Agency closed down as Mr. Park went off the grid, right?
That's right.
We better look more into Seomin Distribution.
I want you to do it, Mr. Moon.
Okay, sir.
Professor Park.
Wait, no.
Should I call you Director Park now?
Why don't we clink...
- to celebrate his appointment? - Sure.
Cheers.
In this country...
- with this kind of lineup... - Right.
With this kind of lineup in this country,
everything could be possible.
In other words, whatever we do...
could be distorted and misunderstood.
So be careful with what you say...
so that this group doesn't get revealed.
I understand.
Politicians get in trouble because of their comments after all.
So you know.
Why don't you say a word, Director Park?
I'm too humble to say anything in front of my seniors.
I'll do my best.
And I especially thank you, sir.
Don't say that. It's all thanks to your competency.
Oh, right.
Mr. Park has become the director of Financial Supervisory Service.
Shouldn't President Kang give him something grand as a gift?
What gift?
Youth unemployment is a huge problem these days.
Your bank should hire a lot of people...
to support him a little.
Assemblyman Jung.
Youth unemployment isn't under my jurisdiction.
I'm not really interested either.
Think about it.
As soon as the new director is appointed in FSS,
the financial circles come forward to resolve the youth unemployment.
It'll be a good thing for you.
Don't you agree, President Kang?
Hiring more labor forces is...
easier said than done...
because each and every employee costs money.
Besides, Daehan Bank recently went through...
huge restructuring regarding labor forces.
We don't have any justification to do so.
Director Park.
Please be understanding.
President Kang.
You drew old blood, so you better get a transfusion for new blood.
That's the justification.
You're so good at making up justification.
Is it because you're a politician?
What?
Calm down.
It's nothing urgent. Let's talk more about it later.
I called you out today...
regarding the Deovis case,
so let's discuss that matter.
Hey, newbie.
Did you say your youngest daughter is still looking for a job?
How about a bank?
A bank.
Do you like it?
But the thing is,
I'm going to propose a bill...
in a few days.
(Daehan Bank's Illegal Loan)
Excuse me.
Is he inside?
He is, but...
I'll have a cup of tea with him then.
Can you get me green tea?
It's fine.
Mr. Chun.
Come in and join us for tea.
Please come in.
At the Premier Hotel at noon today,
you're scheduled with the luncheon hosted by Director Park of FSS.
- Director Park? - Yes.
It's been scheduled urgently without any notice.
And...
Hold on.
Thank you in advance, President Kang.
- Continue. - Yes, sir.
And...
just too many people are crowding in Vice-president Lee's office.
What do you mean?
Executives are lining up to see him in his office since the morning.
And it's nothing about work.
They're all paid workers.
It'd be a lie if paid workers have no ambition for success.
They might think...
Vice-president Lee will help them with their success.
What's wrong with it?
I apologize.
Sir, there's an outside call for you.
It's from the National Assembly.
The National Assembly?
Put me through.
Hello.
Kang Sam Do, speaking.
Hello, President Kang.
I'm sorry for not greeting you in person.
I'm Assemblyman Shin Sang Chul of Legislation and Judiciary Committee.
I see, Assemblyman Shin.
Let me go straight to the point...
without beating around the bush.
I heard from Assemblyman Jung...
that Daehan Bank is recruiting...
a large number of new employees soon.
It's still under consideration.
And I'm in the middle of an important meeting,
so I have to go.
I'll call you again.
I'm sorry. Goodbye.
What is it about?
Was Ms. Do in his office?
I don't know. Not that I remember.
(Director Park Jin Ho)
I apologize.
I'm sorry I'm a bit late. I'm Park Jin Ho.
I'm busy taking over the job,
but I thought I still needed to have a meal...
with the presidents of the major banks in the country.
That's why I invited you for lunch in a rush.
Please have a seat.
I hear...
that you're having a meeting...
with property management companies in the afternoon.
Aren't you keeping yourself too busy?
It can't be helped. That's my job after all.
I have a tight schedule tomorrow as well.
We'll be glad to dine with you...
at any time.
(President Lee Moon Hwan of Myungsung Bank)
There are a lot of misunderstandings and doubts...
that banks reinforce non-personal transaction...
for reconstructing their system...
or financial benefits...
rather than improving their financial services.
That's not true.
It's a misunderstanding...
caused by...
one of many banks...
which closed down hundreds of their branches...
and fired corresponding employees.
Are you saying...
this is just a misunderstanding?
I guess you're referring to Daehan Bank,
President Park.
President Kang.
What do you say?
What?
You die if you wish to live.
Daehan Bank...
and its entire employees...
are trying their very best...
to provide the top quality service...
to their customers.
Is that all?
Don't you understand...
what I mean?
No.
I don't understand...
what you mean.
You've fired a lot of employees.
So I wondered if you are planning to recruit new people.
I guess I put it a little too complicated.
The food might grow cold. Let's eat.
Once we arrive at the bank,
tell Ms. Do to come to my office.
Yes, sir.
Ms. Do, the president wishes to see you in his office.
Okay.
Someone has to replace Vice-president Yook's position.
But he can't let Lee Hae Gon take everything.
Is it time for my era?
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E09 'The Banker' "The Grand-Scale Recruitment" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Did you want to see me, sir?
Have a seat.
Yes, sir.
How are you doing these days?
The amount of work is the same with a less number of executives.
I'm sure it's hard for everyone.
That's not true.
People have a limit to their physical strength.
It's natural for you to feel exhausted with more work.
Anyway, your enthusiastic spirit...
always makes me pleased.
Thank you, sir.
What is this?
It's the contact number of Assemblyman Shin...
from Legislation and Judiciary Committee.
And why...
are you giving this to me?
Until when will you use your competency within the bank?
It's time to broaden your field.
So that he needs you,
I'd like to give you more power and authority.
I'm thinking of...
appointing you...
to the director of HR Team.
You want me...
to be in charge of HR Team?
That's right.
Thank you, sir.
One more thing.
We've sent a lot of employees out,
so you should consider...
hiring new recruits.
Yes, sir.
I understand.
Thank you.
Good luck.
This is strange.
There's nothing.
But I'm seeing...
its title, Seomin Distribution, and the date of its foundation.
Why is it not in the database?
It doesn't show anything even through its registration number.
- Maybe Seon Mi got it wrong. - I doubt it.
She was always meticulous. She wouldn't make such a mistake.
You know in movies,
people infiltrate a tech team to delete all the data.
I'm sure this is the case.
You watched too many movies.
Bank database isn't some kind of prank.
It takes years and costs billions of won to install it.
We're talking about that kind of business here.
- You get that? - That's what I'm talking about.
They infiltrate that kind of highly secured database in movies.
They either delete all the data or sneak it out in a few minutes.
Every time someone wires money from a bank, it's connected to...
Korea Financial Institute, the other bank, and Bank of Korea.
And if the money is from a credit line or credit loan,
it's connected to the card company and the credit company.
This isn't the end of bank database.
It's entangled with each other like a net.
It's impossible to fabricate all that data.
That's not what I said. I said they'd delete everything.
- And I said you're wrong. - Wait.
If the branch closed down even before they made any transaction...
through the account,
there wouldn't be any transaction record.
Likely.
Then what if...
they deleted the record of a company which no one cared about?
Would it stay buried unless someone looks into it?
If it was a company or an account without any transactions,
that would be possible.
I knew it.
They are people after all.
Of course, there's way to do it.
Can we check that they deleted it?
If it's on the log file.
Do you want me to look for it?
Yes.
Look.
It means they deleted, right?
Don't say any word about it,
until we figure out all the details.
Especially you, Seo Bo Geol.
Well, I...
Mr. Moon, keep checking on data.
And Bo Geol, after Gongju Branch has closed,
the ledger might be transferred to another branch.
So, go down and check.
You call him Mr. Moon,
but I'm just Bo Geol.
Hurry up and go down,
- Bo Geol. - Okay.
I reassigned the work...
of former officials...
to other relevant officials.
We used to divide branches by area,
and now you subdivide it by assets.
I mean, the financial paradigm is changing,
so, I thought we might need some new organizations...
for the new situation.
I see. Then...
who's going to be in charge of all the branches...
with both corporate financing and retail financing?
- I'll be in charge. - You?
Funds...
and finance as well?
I manage them both.
- How so? - In case of retail finance,
closing and opening a new branch can be a long-term plan,
but in some situations, it needs instant measure to take.
It's because with some funding situation,
rapid funds implementation might be required.
It sounds like you're saying other people can't do it.
I'm just saying it's more efficient.
And personnel management too?
Seventy percent of the employees in Daehan bank is...
the employees of branches.
So, of course,
I, who am in charge of retail financing, should do it,
- because that way, it's more... -...efficient?
Yes.
We haven't decided anything yet.
But you already refer to yourself as someone who's in charge...
of all the branches.
We both know that's going to be me.
You didn't forget our promise, did you?
Banking is not just about efficiency.
The most important thing in financial business is...
managing the risk.
Concentrating all the work to one person is also a risk.
It's not one person.
I got you in my back.
So, you are the one wielding power,
and I'm the one who's taking responsibility?
Did it sound like that?
I'll carry it forward anyway.
No, write again.
Banking is more important business than you think.
Why do you think it's called financial institution,
not financial company?
Like I just said, if a bank only thinks of efficiency,
then it lacks publicity.
But if a bank only cares about publicity,
then stockholders are going to be mad.
Well, that's what a bank is.
The bank is pervaded with complacency and self-protectionism.
No one's taking responsibilities.
It's stiff like a government organization.
Do you think closing some branches and firing some board members...
will make any difference?
So, are you saying that you can fix everything,
if you get to have all that power?
I do know you're smart.
But,
trying to be in charge of everything is greed.
Especially, personnel management needs checks and balances.
So, it has to be someone else.
I'm thinking of Ms. Do.
What if I can't accept that?
Well, if you can't stand the heat, you should stay out of the kitchen.
They say people don't change easily.
I see it's true now.
I think that's true with you.
You can choose whoever you want.
But it's not going to be as easy as before.
I'll look forward to that.
At the dictation of the president,
I'll announce the reorganization.
The division of works...
and the authority of work scope comes into effect immediately.
Please, refer to the material in front of you for the detail.
(The division of works)
(Do Jeong Ja, Personnel management /business generalization.)
Now, the president's going to give you a speech.
The position you're in right now is...
not for you to just enjoy.
It's for you to take responsibility.
With the reduction of our organization,
whether our bank will be more agile,
or just become weak and frail...
is entirely...
up to all of us in this room.
I want all of you to keep this in mind.
Do you have anything more to say, Mr. No?
No, I don't, sir.
Then, that's enough for today.
Congratulations on your promotion.
What do you mean by promotion?
My position is still the same.
What do you mean?
You're managing personnel affairs which was vice president's job.
So, I think it's practically a promotion.
Is that how you survive under Mr. Yook?
By flattering?
Excuse me?
You heard the president too.
If that's your strategy,
you won't survive under me.
I'm different from Mr. Yook.
In accordance with reorganization,
I made this promoting slogan for all the branches,
which is "Slim and fast."
That was so fast.
So, what's the point here?
To give an example of credit cards, making application process simpler,
and making the card issuing process faster.
Oh, that's why it's called slim and fast.
Not bad.
I didn't even review that.
And you have to talk to other teams about that matter...
about managing risks.
And this is...
for when you do the interview about new recruitment.
I prepared some things you might want to say...
for the publicity of our bank.
You did?
Mr. PR manager.
Do you hear me?
Yes, head manager?
You should report to me first.
No, you don't have to.
We're promoting this slogan "slim and fast."
Why not simplify an internal process as well?
And you heard everything he just said now.
Do you have another opinion about it?
Yes, I have.
You do?
What is it?
You should give credit to your boss.
What are you talking about?
One thing I learn from Mr. Yook is...
that you have to give credit to your boss,
and just take responsibilities for mistakes.
Youth unemployment is really a big problem now.
And if you get to be the one who gets all the spotlight...
for being a hero announcing this big recruitment,
I'm sure the president will be so happy about it, right?
Who are you to talk to me like that?
Spotlight?
The president of Daehan Bank, Kang Sam Do announced...
a big recruitment through a press conference today.
Reporter Jang Byeol Cheol will cover this story.
We, Daehan Bank, decided...
to recruit new employees this year.
He just fired a lot of people. Now he's hiring new ones?
So he can fire more people.
You should work harder not to get fired.
He's firing people on the back,
but playing hero in front of media.
Good for him.
There are lots of positive reactions...
from media and politics.
The government is also in favor of this...
as a solution for youth unemployment.
Ms. Do...
played it smartly.
You got a call from the president.
Right, put him through.
Yes, Mr. president.
The interview about new recruitment is getting positive reactions.
Thank you.
I hope you do well on this recruitment.
Sure, I will.
Ms. Do.
What did he say?
He's happy about it.
You know, I prepared...
those interview materials so well.
So, I'm glad it went well too.
Sure, Mr. Byueon.
You did a good job.
By the way, Ms. Do.
I'm kind of disappointed by you.
What now?
I mean, the other day,
I was trying to do things for you,
and reported about Lee Hae Gon.
But you knew...
that you were going to be in charge of promotion, personnel and all.
And yet you still scolded me.
Is that so?
From now on,
don't waste your time on those useless things.
Just do your job.
And from now on,
report your proposal to Ms. Han first.
But, Ms. Do, I like how things are going now.
Mr. Byueon.
You planned for me to do the interview.
I'm so glad I didn't do it eventually.
If it wasn't for Ms. Han,
I could've made a huge mistake.
- That's... - And you!
Promotional expenses.
Where's the report of those that aren't used as planned?
I'll get it right away.
Submit it by today.
I will.
You could've asked me to come.
I told Mr. Byueon...
to report things to you first,
before coming straight to me.
It's not going to happen again.
What's with that reaction?
I did this for you.
Aren't you going to thank me?
That's what he was supposed to do in the first place.
What an uptight person.
Sorry.
I was going to go out for outside duty.
Come under my side.
(Episode 10 will air shortly.)
(Episode 10)
You are...
- already my boss. - I want you to be on my side.
I've never wanted to be...
and never will be...
- on your side. - Han Soo Ji.
Don't you know who I am?
This Daehan Bank is...
a battlefield for men.
I, Do Jeong Ja, survived...
- from that battlefield. - I know.
I know you're in charge of personnel promotion and general affairs.
- And that's your response? - Yes.
- You're so... - I'm sorry.
- I have work to do. - I got it.
Why is your office so stark?
You should put some flowers in here.
Don't tell me...
that you think you're the flower.
Ms. Do.
Are you imposing some kind of gender role to your subordinate...
in this day and age?
- Are you? - What?
- Are you done? - No.
You are a board member and a general manager.
Then you should learn your manner accordingly.
Do you get it,
- CFO. Do? - What a...
- Are you acting up? - Did you already forget?
You know this is what I'm good at.
Surviving with my words.
- And I have work to do now. - Got it.
I'm leaving now. How rude you are.
Okay, let's begin.
I went all the way there in this cold weather.
So, here's what I found out.
Get ready.
Did you find the data of Seomin Distribution?
- No. - So you didn't find anything?
- No, I found something. - Then what is it?
It's quite a lot.
This whole line is what you're looking for.
And from there to here.
All these lines.
And from here...
to here.
These are all documents about the business account from Gongju.
I'd help you, but...
I have too much work to do.
It's okay.
Use this.
There is so much dust.
It's okay, Seo Bo Geol.
You can do it.
It's only few hundreds.
From October 2018...
Pass.
Where are you?
Where's the data from October to December?
2018...
(Gongju Branch)
(Gongju Branch 2018, Oct-Dec)
What did I tell you?
I told you that you can do it, and you did it.
Gongju Branch, 2018.
What's this? November 16th?
(October 31st, 2018)
Where's November 1st?
Only the documents from that period are missing?
Yes.
Deleting the computer data and discarding data...
There's got to be something.
So, you didn't find anything.
However...
- You worked so hard. - Yes, well...
Have a nice day.
- Bye. - Bye.
What's this smell?
Is that...
- Is this... - It's roast sweet potatoes.
These pumpkin roast sweet potatoes are so good.
Roast pumpkin sweet potatoes?
- Can I have it now? - Of course.
- Do you want one? - A big one.
A really big one.
- Just give me one now. - Okay.
Here you are.
It's so big.
What's this?
Is this our bank's documents?
Is something wrong?
Sir, how did you get this paper?
Oh, that?
There are plenty of them there.
What?
I tried persuading him to show me where it is.
I tried so hard.
But he kept saying he doesn't have time.
So, we made a deal with this bag of sweet potatoes.
So, eventually,
I got to go to that place...
where there were piles of documents we were looking for.
And?
What happened?
It's here.
I have sweet potatoes to sell.
I have to go now.
Thank you so much.
Wow.
So did you find it or not?
No sweet potato for you.
Did you find...
the ledger of Seomin Distribution?
- No, sir. - So, what is it then?
Mr. No.
The security of this bank now is terrible.
You should do the random check for this issue,
or this bank might be in trouble one day.
How can they discard this kind of documents like that?
It's not what we were looking for, but you found something good.
You did a good job, Seo Bo Geol.
Assistant manager.
So, you should give a notice to all the branches...
that we're going to do random checks from next month for a month...
about the security of personal and financial information.
You should also tell them that if they're lack of security,
it'll be on the record of all the managers in that branch
Yes.
And if you look at these account numbers,
you can see which branch these documents are from.
So, let them know about what he has found,
and tell them to submit an accident report.
Okay.
You don't have to be involved in this case.
So, just keep looking for the data of closing branches.
Okay.
What should I do?
You should go back there again,
and check if this is the only branch that does this kind of thing...
or if there's more.
Okay?
Do you want me to go back there again?
It's so cold now.
I've been watching you so far.
I think this kind of work fits you.
Why can't he go this time?
I can't go back.
So...
you didn't go have dinner with him,
because you're mad that he sent you back again?
And it happened a long time ago, right?
Of course.
If I don't want to do something, I'm not doing it.
You are the only one who knows where it is.
- That's why he sent you back. - No.
I think, in workplaces,
if you work a lot, they give you more work.
- What are you talking about? - Don't you think so?
If you work a lot, you seem good at what you do and you get more.
If you're not working, you seem bad at what you do, so you get none.
It's the polarization of the work load.
- No way. - It's true though!
Do you have good news?
I'm so serious here,
but you keep smiling.
Come.
You know, they are hiring new people at Daehan Bank.
My daughter applied too,
and she passed the review process.
That's so nice.
I hope she has a good result.
If she gets a good result,
I'll buy you nice dinner.
If I hear anything,
I'll let you know right away.
I'd appreciate that.
The bank account and...
Welcome.
- Dad. - I'm here.
Bo Ram, aren't you tired?
No, I can handle it.
Aren't you done yet?
Do you want to walk home together with me?
Sure.
I have 30 more minutes.
- Is it okay? - It's okay.
I'll wait for you outside.
Wait.
Here, drink this.
It's citron tea.
- Thank you. - Just wait a little.
Park Bo Ram.
How would you differentiate yourself with others?
I majored in financial analysis and risk management.
So, I have professional knowledge.
Also, through my experiences in a company...
I hope you all get good results.
Let me just check your name.
(New employee interview)
(Exposing Daehan Bank's Illegal Loans)
I've seen you a few times while riding the bus.
(Daehan Bank's Illegal Loans)
Ah, I'm part of Daehan Bank's Audit Team.
Here's my card.
Daehan Bank's...
- Audit Team? - That's right, ma'am.
I felt the need to check...
on what you wanted to expose about.
If there's anything done wrong from our side...
it might be a bit late but I want to offer some help.
I'm out here...
because of Daehan Bank.
How can I trust someone from the same bank...
to share my story?
I understand but...
there won't be any harm in telling the story.
Please sit in order.
(Daehan Bank's 2019 Entry-Level Recruitment Final Interview)
(Interviewer)
The interview is ready to start.
Nice to meet you.
Daehan Bank changed the...
interview process starting this year.
It wouldn't have been easy to adjust.
Likewise the staffs from the department...
will be included in the final interview...
along with the executives.
So this interview might be more difficult.
I hope to see...
the four of you again at Daehan Bank.
Now then, should we start?
She's quite elderly.
In such cold weather...
- Seo Bo Geol! - Yes?
Ms. Jang...
brought the personal information of the picketer at Yongbok branch.
Take this information to that branch...
and find out the person in charge.
We heard the old lady's story...
but we should hear both sides of the story.
The staff in charge of the old lady?
I'll find him right away, Auditor No.
What do you think...
of the recent strategy by Korean financial institutions...
for overseas expansion?
I believe that for overseas expansion...
we should promote glocalization.
We should be not only in the capital,
but the regions...
and local cities...
and utilize Daehan Bank's strengths...
in a way that provides...
help to local residents,
it would be very good.
The staff in charge has quit years ago.
- Quit? - Yes.
The branch manager also retired then.
There is no one left from back then.
What should we do?
We say a few years but it still wasn't too long ago.
But the entire staff has been replaced.
This is strange.
Wouldn't it be due to rotation?
There should still be at least one or two remaining.
Ms. Jang, why don't you take me to where the old lady is at?
Should I ask Mr. Park to get the car ready?
Let's just take the bus since that's how you found her.
First, A will be the case where...
USA increases and we freeze the interest rate.
We then calculate the damage cost due to capital outflow.
Next B is the case where we also increase the rates...
and we calculate the damage cost due to bad real estates...
and household loans.
So we need to set the interest rate...
by finding the lowest point of damage between A and B.
Additionally, we should continue to...
pursue separate solutions...
for each issues such as...
bad real estates or household loans.
This is of course under the assumption...
that there are no other external factors.
Very good.
That was a great answer.
Now then...
I'll ask a question to Ms. Shin...
who is next to Ms. Park.
Imagine that you are a...
staff at Daehan Bank at this moment.
Can you tell me any aspirations or plans you have...
for the future?
I will do my best to...
become an important member at Daehan Bank.
Thank you.
The question might have caught you off-guard.
Well done staying...
calm while answering.
Keep that spirit up...
- and devote yourself to your heart. - Yes.
Next.
- One moment, please. - Why?
I will make an additional question.
Can you answer the question asked...
- earlier? - Huh?
Ah, what was the question?
How we should handle...
when FRB increases the interest rate.
What is... FRB?
Not everyone knows it.
You might not know about it now.
The problem is...
when you hide what you don't know.
The interview...
for this group concludes here.
- Should we take a break? - Sure.
Mr. Kim?
Come see me for a bit.
Don't come in for the interview...
- starting with the next group. - Sorry?
- What do you mean? - "What do you mean?"
Can't you understand Korean?
Don't come in for the next interviews.
Mr. Byueon can replace for you.
I'm the head of Daehan Bank's HR.
But I shouldn't be at the final interview?
What did you just say?
Who's the head of HR?
Daehan Bank's last head of HR is...
not you, but me, Do Jeong Ja.
How dare you say such nonsense.
- Ms. Do. - Stop there.
Don't you dare get cocky.
Call the PR Manager Byueon.
Move.
Park Bo Ram!
Well done.
How was the interview?
Hmm, I don't know.
Why, was it too difficult?
Nope. I think I did pretty well.
Geez, you gave me a good scare.
Is Park Bo Ram finally...
going to be a banker at Daehan Bank?
I hope so too.
It would be nice to work at the same place with you.
Me too.
Since you worked hard for the interview...
do you want me to buy you a nice treat?
It's okay.
Let's just eat doenjang stew.
Why? Will that do?
It's not like I passed yet.
But make sure to add lots of chili to make it piquant!
You have to suit my taste today. Okay?
Okay then. Today I will...
give away for you.
(Daehan Bank Yongbok Branch)
Who is this?
I'm Auditor No Dae Ho from Daehan Bank.
We're currently in the process of verifying what you told our staff.
The staff who was in charge of your case...
has resigned but...
we'll meet them soon enough to verify the facts.
You will... you will...
finally listen to my story?
Yes, ma'am.
So please put down what you are carrying there.
Thank you.
(Sobbing)
- Ma'am! - Ma'am!
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E10 'The Banker' "Senior Director Do’s Challenge" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Hello!
Hey Bo Geol, it's been a while.
You must be worn out from the interviews.
Here, have some lemon tea.
How considerate.
Hey, but I'm no interviewer.
I'm just a minion from HR...
helping out the interview.
Thanks for the tea.
How humble.
You truly are my role model.
Of course.
- By the way... - Why?
- Was there a Park Bo Ram... - Stop, stop!
I can't hear anything.
I can't say a word...
so stop right there.
Got it. You don't have to say a word...
so please help yourself for a sip.
I'll take the drink but I still won't say anything.
- You know my lips are heavy. - Of course.
- You don't know the results either. - That's my point.
And you shouldn't say it even if you do know.
Just the air.
How was the air around?
- Can't you just say that much? - The air?
What air?
Nothing too important.
Just the air when Park Bo Ram had her interview.
Park Bo Ram?
Gosh.
It was crazy back then.
Crazy? Why?
Don't try to dig in the details.
She wasn't too bad.
I would have picked her if...
I was the interviewer.
That's it.
That's more than enough.
- Thank you. - Have a good one!
Yes!
What?
I looked into it.
Your daughter's interview.
Expect a good news.
Mr. Seo.
Mr. Seo...
thank you.
Thank you!
Now, now. Fix this up.
Are you okay, ma'am?
I...
don't want anything.
Just get me Shin Hyeon Do.
Shin Hyeon Do?
Yes.
Shin Hyeon Do.
That man.
I just want an apology.
- Why? - Today...
the results will be announced.
Is that true?
Can I help you sir?
Y, yes.
You know, an entry level employee.
A banker.
Are there any fancy...
bags for...
them?
Congratulations!
It sounds like your daughter got accepted to a bank.
Yes.
And it's not an ordinary bank.
Daehan Bank.
She got accepted to Daehan Bank!
Then...
how about this? It's a new arrival.
It's pretty.
Bo Ram.
Why were you so late? I've been waiting for you.
Dad.
Sorry but I'm a bit tired. I'll go to the bed right away.
Why is she so down...
on such a joyful day?
Um, Auditor No.
Yes, Mr. Park?
Is there something you want to say?
Yes, Han Sol.
I'm on my way to work.
One second.
It's nothing.
I... I'll tell you later.
Okay.
Yes, what is it?
Um, sir?
(Daehan Bank HR Team)
- Sir? - Huh? Yes.
It's the employee training itinerary for the new employees...
who had their physical examination.
The physical examination isn't over yet.
How do you know who to expect?
Well, usually all of them pass...
unless there's a special problem.
"All of them"?
Yes, Mr. Kim.
Ah, Mr. Kim.
It's been a while. What can I do for you?
I think there is corruption...
on the recruitment.
Corruption?
Do you have any definite proof?
No, I don't have anything.
That's why I need your help.
Before the physical examination is over...
we must find those hired in corruption...
the employer who directed it...
and those who carried out...
the actions.
Why are you so certain in that there is corruption?
Without any reason...
I, the HR head...
was excluded from the final interview.
The cut-off score for the written exam was...
suddenly adjusted as well.
Is that so.
Please pause any other tasks you are working on now.
We'll focus on the corruption in the recruitment for now.
Ms. Jang, please investigate...
everyone who benefited from the change in the cut-off score.
Mr. Moon, secure...
the score cards used by the interviewers...
and verify that they have been entered in the database correctly.
Mr. Seo, please summon all the interviewers...
into the lecture room.
Yes!
All the interview processes have been recorded...
so feel free to use them.
The interviews get recorded?
We got the interviewees' consents starting this year to...
record the process in order to...
- avoid any scandals. - Then I'll have the...
- interview files secured. - Okay, Mr. Moon.
And Mr. Kim...
contact the hospital to...
temporarily suspend the physical examination...
for those who were accepted.
Okay, Auditor No.
Um, Auditor No?
Should I call CFO Do as well?
She's also one of the interviewers.
CFO Do?
Why the fuss again?
There's a problem, Ms. Do.
Auditor No is...
auditing the entire...
recruitment process.
Is that true?
All the interviewers are...
being summoned.
I was called as well.
I should leave now.
What should I tell them?
No Dae Ho, seriously?
Isn't he crazy?
It's playing.
If I'm a policy maker...
I think I would run a simulation.
First, A will be the case where...
USA increases and we freeze the interest rate.
We then calculate the damage cost due to capital outflow.
And the interviewers?
They are all waiting in the lecture room.
But what should we do about...
- CFO Do? - I'll directly...
Hey!
No Dae Ho!
You.
What do you think you are doing?
I'm asking you, No Dae Ho.
What do you think you are doing?
Ms. Do!
What do you think you are doing yourself?
(THE BANKER)
Come to your senses, No Dae Ho.
You think...
the Audit Team will be okay?
Sometimes administration put people into test.
A kindness from the administration is poison.
So don't bite into it.
Ms. Han...
what do you think of...
being the Personnel Director?
This matter should...
not affect Daehan Bank...
by no means.
I'll take care of it...
so that doesn't happen.
So they tried a different method.
To just take by force.
