(Episode 10)
You're...
already my superior.
I'm telling you to side with me.
I never was,
and I don't plan on...
ever doing that.
Han Soo Ji.
Don't you know who I am?
Daehan Bank...
is a men's warzone.
But I, Do Jung Ja,
survived the war.
I know that.
I know that you oversee...
the bank's HR, PR, and General Affairs.
Are you acting like this even when you know?
- Yes. - You're really something.
I'm sorry,
- but I have to get going. - All right.
Why is your office so dull?
You should get some flowers.
Don't tell me you think...
you're the flower.
Ms. Do.
Don't you know what year it is?
How can you make such an offensive comment...
as a leader of a company?
What?
- Are you done? - No.
As an executive of Daehan Bank and the head of HR,
you should first practice adequate manners.
Do you understand, Senior Director Do Jung Ja?
Are you serious?
- Are you going to misbehave? - Yes.
I survived under Mr. Yook...
by being outspoken like this.
Also,
I have to leave right now.
I got it. I'm leaving.
You're so rude.
(Director's Office)
Okay. Should we start?
I'll share the information I got...
after traveling home in this cold.
Don't be startled, everyone.
Did you find Seomin Distribution's documents?
- No. - So you couldn't find anything?
- That's not it. - Then what is it?
It's going to be a lot to go through.
It starts from this end...
to all the way over there. It's this whole row.
Also, from over there to here.
All of that.
Then, from that end until here.
These are the corporate account registrations from Gongju Branch.
I wish I could help, but I'm really busy right now.
It's okay.
Right. Here.
It'll be really dusty.
Gosh.
It's okay, Seo Bo Geol. You can do this.
It's only a few hundred documents.
Starting in October 2018...
Pass. Not this one.
November...
Where are you?
Where are you, October to November?
(Gongju Branch)
What did I tell you, Bo Geol?
I told you it's possible. You found it right away.
"Gongju Branch, 2018"...
What? What is this? November 16?
(October 31, 2018)
Where's November 6?
Are you saying only documents from that day went missing?
Yes, Mr. Noh.
They deleted the data, and got rid of the documents.
I'm sure there's something behind this.
In the end, he didn't find anything.
However...
- You must've worked hard. - Yes. I better go.
- Okay. Bye. - Bye.
What's this smell?
Wait, that's...
- Mister, is this... - Sweet potatoes.
My sweet potatoes are delicious.
Sweet potatoes?
- Is there one ready to eat? - Of course.
- Would you like one? - Yes, a big one.
Please give me a huge one quickly.
All right.
Here.
There you go.
It's huge.
That's good.
(Daehan Bank)
What is this?
This is from our bank.
Is there something wrong?
Mister, where did you get the paper to make these envelopes?
That?
They're piled up like a mountain over there.
What?
The sweet potato man...
couldn't give up on his business, so I tried to persuade him.
But he insisted and said that time is money for him.
Sweet potatoes?
We made a deal with this bag of sweet potatoes.
Thanks to that,
I was finally able to go where he said...
the papers were piled up in mountains.
And?
So what?
We're almost here.
This is where I always come.
It's over here.
I have to go sell my sweet potatoes,
so I better go.
Thank you.
(Certificate of Deposit, Trust, Investment Trust Balance)
This is...
So did you find the document for Seomin Distribution or not?
You can't eat it.
Did you find out about Seomin Distribution's director?
No, Mr. Noh.
Then what?
Mr. Noh.
The bank's security around information is poor right now.
We should do a sudden audit...
to fix all of their bad habits.
If we don't, this will cause trouble.
Look at that.
How did these end up at the junk shop?
We didn't find what we wanted, but you did something great.
Good job,
Mr. Seo.
Ms. Jang, can you write up an official document,
warning all the branches that we'll start auditing them...
on information security for the next month without notice?
Make sure all departments and branches are aware.
Once we uncover a problem, the one in charge...
as well as their departmental head will see consequences.
Yes, sir.
Also, the account number here...
will help us figure out which branch threw these out.
Let the branch manager know that Mr. Seo found these,
and have them write a report back to us.
Okay.
You don't have to do much with this one.
Just keep checking the data...
on more information about branch closures.
Okay.
Then, what should I do?
You should go back to the junk shop...
and check if it was just that one branch...
that threw out their documents, or if there are more.
- Got it? - What?
Are you telling me to go back?
But it's too cold out there.
I've watched you until now,
and I think you're more of a field agent.
Why don't you tell Hong Ju to go?
I'm not going!
So...
you didn't go to dinner with him and got mad because...
he told you to check out the junk shop again?
And this happened a long time ago?
That's right.
I never back down from something I believe is wrong.
You're the only one who know where the discarded paper is.
That's probably why he sent you.
No, no.
What I think is that...
he keeps on putting me to work since I'm the one always working.
What do you mean?
Don't you think so?
When you're working, they think you'd be good at it.
When you're not working, they think you'll be bad at it.
So those who are working keeps getting more work.
You're not serious.
I am serious!
Do you have some good news?
I'm being serious right now,
and you keep smiling.
Come closer.
Daehan Bank is recruiting new employees.
My daughter applied for it,
and she passed the screening.
Awesome. I hope she goes all the way.
If she does, I'm taking you out.
If I hear anything, I'll tell you right away.
That's sweet of you.
"How to prevent opening fake bankbooks".
Hello.
- Dad! - It's me.
How you holding up?
I'm doing good. I can take this much.
Aren't you getting off work soon?
Do you want to come home with me?
Can we?
I still have about 30 minutes left, is that okay?
Sure. I'll be right outside.
Wait!
Here, drink this. It's citrus tea.
- Thank you, honey. - I won't be long.
(2019 Daehan Bank Open Recruitment Written Test)
Applicant Park Bo Ram?
To get accepted in Daehan Bank, what efforts have you put in...
that stands out from other applicants?
I majored in Financial Analysis and Risk Management,
and have learned professional knowledge of financial.
And I was able to acquire financial knowledge...
by analyzing the industry by myself.
I wish everyone good luck.
I'll be grading your interviews.
Let's see. Mr...
(Waiting room for open recruitment)
(I denounce Daehan Bank's illegal loans.)
I often saw you on the bus.
(I denounce Daehan Bank's illegal loans.)
I work at the audit office of Daehan Bank.
Here's my card.
Audit office of Daehan Bank?
Yes.
I saw you were denouncing the bank,
and I felt like I needed to hear what happened.
If anything went wrong,
I know it's too late, but I think we can help.
I'm out here because of an employee of Daehan bank.
Why should I trust anyone else from the same bank...
and share my story?
Fair enough.
But I don't think it'll do anyone harm by having a conversation.
Please take a seat in that order.
(2019 Daehan Bank Open Recruitment Final Interview)
(Interviewer)
Hi, Mrs. Do.
We're all set for the interview.
Hello, everyone.
We've changed the way we interview starting this year.
It must have been hard for you to get used to it.
Also, today's interview will be visited by the executives,
and the actual employees.
Today's interview might be too difficult.
The first group of four people.
I look forward to seeing you at work.
Shall we begin?
Sure.
She's pretty old.
On such a cold day...
- Seo Bo Geol. - Yes?
Ms. Jang wrote down some personal information...
of a lady protesting at the Yongbuk branch.
Take this and head to the branch.
And find out who's responsible.
We heard her story,
so we should listen to both parties.
The one who was assigned to the lady.
Check. I'll come back with the employee.
Korea's finance industry has been trying to expand overseas recently.
Do you have any thoughts on that?
My thoughts on overseas expansion...
is that we need to aim at glocalization.
We should not only focus on the capital city,
but we need to go deeper into the rural areas.
If we do that in a way...
of helping the locals, while maintaining our features,
I think...it would be great.
It says the person in charge quit a few years ago.
The person quit?
Yes. The branch manager retired as well.
There's no one who worked then, left at that branch.
- What should I do? - That's weird.
Few years isn't that long of a time.
And everyone got replaced?
That's weird.
Maybe it's because of rotation?
But still, there should at least be a couple employees.
Ms. Jang, you know where she is. Can you come with me?
I'll get the car ready.
No, you saw her on the bus.
So we'll take the bus too.
Let's call it Case A when the United States...
raise their interest rate, while we keep it frozen.
Then calculate the damage by capital outflow.
We'll call another case, Case B, when we raise the rate with the US.
Then calculate the damage caused by poor real estate and household loan.
That's how we should set the interest rate by calculating...
where the damage is minimized, between Case A and B.
In addition to that, I think we'll also have to keep finding...
the solution for each of the issues...
regarding real estate or household loans.
Of course this is based on an assumption that there are...
no other external factors that may affect the situation.
Very good.
That was a very good answer.
Now, shall we move on to the next applicant?
Applicant Shin So Young, let me ask you a question.
Let's say that...
you're an employee of Daehan Bank.
Do you have any plans or ambitions that...
you'd like to share with us?
I'll try my best,
and be a worker that Daehan Bank needs.
Thank you.
I may have surprised you with my sudden question.
You've answered the question very nice and calm.
Don't ever lose that spirit, and keep on working.
Yes, ma'am.
Next.
- Wait. - What?
I'd like to ask you a question too.
Could you answer the question we've asked before?
What?
What was the question?
When the FRB raises their interest rate,
how would you deal with such situation?
I...
I'm sorry, but what does FRB mean?
That's fine.
You may not know about it yet.
Pretending to know it,
now that's when it becomes a problem.
That'll be all for your group.
- Let's take a break. - Sure.
- Mr. Kim? - Yes?
Can I talk to you?
Mr. Kim.
You're not to step foot starting the next interview.
What? What do you mean?
What do I mean?
You can't even understand Korean?
You're not to step foot into the next interview!
Mr. Byun will take your seat.
I'm in charge of the Daehan Bank HR.
What do you mean I can't go in the final interview?
What did you say?
Who's in charge of HR?
The person who's in final charge of Daehan Bank HR...
is not you, it's me, Do Jung Ja!
Who do you think you are?
- Senior Director Do... - That's enough.
Don't you get smart with me.
Go fetch Mr. Byun!
Get out of my way.
Bo Ram!
Good job.
How did it go?
I don't know.
Why, was it difficult?
No, I actually did great this time!
Oh, you got me scared.
Are you finally going to work at Daehan Bank?
I really hope so.
I'd love to come to work at the same place as you.
It would be nice.
You had a tough day with interviews and all.
Shall I treat you to a nice dinner?
No. Let's just have doenjang stew.
Why? Will that be enough?
It's not like I got the job yet.
Let's add a lot of chili peppers though, to make it zing.
Let's go with how I like it. Okay?
Okay.
Today, for your sake,
I'll yield my taste.
(Daehan Bank, Yongbuk Branch)
(I denounce Daehan Bank's illegal loans.)
Who are you?
I'm Daehan Bank's auditor Noh Dae Ho.
We're looking into...
what you told my staff.
The teller who managed your loan...
has since resigned,
but we plan to meet them to check the facts.
Now...
you will listen to me?
Yes, ma'am.
So put down what you're holding up.
Thank you.
- Oh, dear, ma'am. - Ma'am.
Que sera...
Hey, how are you?
Bo Geol, it's been a long time.
It's tough going through job interviews, isn't it?
Why not have a lemon tea?
You just know what I need.
It's not like I'm the interviewer.
I'm just a gopher in the HR Team...
who makes sure things go well.
Thanks for this.
You shouldn't be so humble.
This is why you're my role model.
I knew it.
- So, by the way, - What?
was Park Bo Ram a candidate...
Stop, stop. I don't hear you.
I can't say a single thing, so just stop.
Okay. You don't have to say a single thing.
Just take a long sip from the bottle.
I will because it's from you,
but I still won't say anything.
- You know I don't gossip. - I know.
You don't know the end result anyway.
- Exactly. - You can't tell even if you do.
Correct.
Just the atmosphere.
How was the atmosphere?
Can't you describe just that?
The atmosphere? Of what?
Nothing much.
Just the atmosphere of Park Bo Ram's interview.
Park Bo Ram?
Gosh, the atmosphere was weird.
Weird?
- Why? - I don't know. Don't ask.
Just don't ask.
She wasn't bad.
If I were an interviewer,
I'd have picked her.
That's all.
That's more than enough. Thanks a lot.
- Bye. - Bye.
Hello.
Hey. Who is it?
Quiet.
I asked around.
Your daughter's interview.
I think you'll get good news.
Mr. Seo.
Mr. Seo. Thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Watch your hair.
Ma'am. Are you okay?
I...
don't need anything else.
Get Shin Hyun Do for me.
Shin Hyun Do?
Yes. Shin Hyun Do.
Him.
I just want his apology.
What?
They announce the final new employees today.
Really?
Can I help you, sir?
Yes.
It's for a new employee.
Who just started at a bank.
Could you recommend me...
a bag that would look nice on a new bank teller?
Congratulations, sir.
Did your daughter get a job at a bank?
Yes. And not just any bank.
It's Daehan Bank. She got a job at Daehan Bank.
Then...
How about this? It's a new release.
Yes.
It's pretty.
Bo Ram.
Why are you so late? I was waiting for you.
Dad.
Sorry but I'm tired. I want to rest.
Why does she look so down?
On a good day like this?
Mr. Noh.
Yes, Mr. Park. Do you have something to say?
Hello, Han Sol.
I'm on my way to work. Just a moment.
It's nothing.
Later. I'll tell you later.
Okay.
What do you want?
Sir.
- Sir? - Yes, what?
The on-the-job training schedule for the newbies...
who came in for their physical.
The physical isn't over yet.
Who knows who will pass?
Unless there's a huge irregularity,
almost all new hires pass.
They...
all pass?
Yes, sir.
It's been a while, Mr. Kim.
What's the matter?
I think our recruiting process now is corrupt.
A corrupt recruiting process?
Do you have clear evidence?
No, nothing at all.
That's why I need your help.
Before those who were hired are done with their physical,
we must identify who was guaranteed a job, who gave the order,
and who put things in motion.
As soon as possible.
Why are you suddenly so sure there's a corruption?
For no clear reason,
I, General Manger of HR, was excluded from the interviews.
The written exam's cut-off score...
was suddenly adjusted too.
Oh... I see.
Stop what you were all working on.
We should focus all our efforts on the recruiting process now.
Ms. Jang, list up the candidates...
who benefited from...
the adjustment in the cut-off score.
Mr. Moon, get the actual papers...
the interviews used to grade the candidates.
Compare it to the system in case there was an input error.
- Yes, sir. - Mr. Seo.
Call everyone who interviewed the candidates...
and have them come to the lecture hall.
Yes, sir.
The interviews were all recorded.
You could use that.
We record interviews?
To prevent scandals or possible problems,
we got the candidates' permission and taped the process this year.
I will get my hands on the video files.
Good, Mr. Moon.
Mr. Kim, please call the hospital...
and have them halt the physical examinations for now.
I'll do that, Mr. Noh.
Mr. Noh.
Should I call Senior Director Do?
She was an interviewer too.
Senior Director Do?
What's the fuss now?
There's a problem.
Auditor Noh announced...
that he will check the whole hiring process.
- Is that true? - Everyone who was an interviewer...
has been called.
I got the call too.
I have to go now.
What should I say?
Noh Dae Ho, that fool.
Is he out of his mind?
This is it.
If I were in charge of creating a new policy,
I would run a simulation first.
Let's call it Case A when the United States...
raise their interest rate, while we keep it frozen.
Then calculate the damage by capital outflow.
- Where are the interviewers? - I've called them all in.
They're waiting for you in the lecture room.
What should we do about Senior Director Do?
I'll see Ms. Do separately.
Hey! Noh Dae Ho!
Hey, what do you think you're all doing?
I'm asking you, Mr. Noh. What are you doing?
Ms. Do!
It's me who want to ask what you're doing.
(The Banker)
Noh Dae Ho, wake up.
Do you think the audit office will be safe after this?
President Kang sometimes tests people.
His kindness is poisonous so don't accept it easily.
Director Han. What do you think about being in charge of HR?
We can't let the spark...
catch a fire on Daehan Bank.
I'll make sure that doesn't happen.
That's why they changed their strategy...
to just taking everything away.
