(Episode 7)
I'm Lee Hae Gon,
and I'll be a vice-president of this bank as of today.
What, vice-president?
There are some familiar faces...
who are still here unlike how I expected.
I, Lee Hae Gon,
came back to Daehan Bank for one reason.
For the reorganization and restructuring of this corrupt bank.
The rotten personnel system.
The outdated organizational structure.
The labor costs leaking to the incompetent.
The non-business properties that are wasting up tax...
without making any benefits. I'm going to reduce it all.
I'm going to normalize the bank within a year.
This is Auditor No Dae Ho.
Can I ask a question?
Someone's new.
Sure.
I hope your question...
is worth taking my speech time.
We restructured by closing 20 percent of our branches.
If we do another restructuring again,
it might make the employees uneasy.
- Auditor No Dae Ho, right? - Yes.
Auditor No.
Restructuring...
isn't yours to concern.
It's about business management.
I don't know how the upper management here did their job.
But the restructuring failed even after closing 20 percent.
That is why we need another restructuring.
Thus, this time,
incompetent executives won't be an exception.
You saw it, right?
He gave me a look after mentioning incompetent executives.
President Kang called Lee Hae Gon in on purpose to kick me out.
It does feel like it.
He was once kicked out to the affiliate,
so why would President Kang appoint him as a vice-president?
- What would that make you of? - What if...
we get kicked out together at once?
Not a chance!
We must get rid of them first before they do.
It's time we have a new president.
He's served his terms three years in a row.
Kang Sam Do isn't the only figure in Daehan Bank.
We should prepare an emergency executives' meeting about this.
You'll get busy from now on.
- I'm not sure. - What?
Don't tell me you'll betray me.
That's not what I mean.
You think you'll be safe without me?
No way.
My crisis is your crisis.
Besides, you're the key executive under my influence.
Everyone knows about that.
Didn't you say it yourself?
That we're already the same team.
Is it me or President Kang?
I'm sorry.
Give me some time to think.
Don't make me wait too long.
Auditor No.
Have some of this coffee.
Thank you.
Mr. Seo.
I already have mine.
I still have some left.
I can drink this for a long time,
so don't mind me.
Make sure you drink it all day long.
By the way, Vice-president Lee caused an issue...
as soon as he came to the head office.
The large-scaled restructuring including the executives?
I don't know...
if it's going to improve or worsen the situation.
In any case, a lot of people must be anxious right now.
What?
Chairs in Seoul...
are special indeed.
How soft.
What? What is it?
Why are you looking at me like that?
What do you mean?
I'm not going to get fired.
I'm an elite banker with three years of experience.
Don't you think so?
I can't believe this.
If I get fired, everyone else will get fired.
But I didn't make any mistakes since my new appointment.
No, right? I can't think of any.
Anyway.
Let's keep digging into Seomin Agency.
Who's behind the general manager of Sales Team One?
According to Mi Ho's research,
he's under Vice-president Yook's influence.
And there's a private group called Daehan Literature Council...
within the bank.
Its chairman is Vice-president Yook, and Mr. Min, the secretary.
Does it mean Vice-president Yook is behind it?
Wasn't he involved in the Manager Yook Sang Sik case too?
Who do you think was the first informant?
How much do they know about Seomin Agency?
Maybe...
it's a whistle-blower from inside.
I reported you...
about Seomin Agency.
Voluntary retirement all of a sudden?
But I don't want to retire.
We're recommending it to you because no one wishes to retire.
You're facing the age of retirement anyway.
Why don't you just retire?
If you decide to do it,
you'll be given a two-year salary along with your pension.
It's worth considering.
Working moms are applying for voluntary retirement...
to take this chance.
Why?
Because the condition is great.
If it's that great, why don't you retire?
I never stop in the middle even for savings.
It's the same for work.
I'll work until the age of retirement.
I won't drop out in the middle.
You aren't getting this, are you?
The head office ordered each branch to reduce the number of bankers.
According to the standard,
you're first to be fired.
What?
We're telling you.
It's good for everyone if you retire voluntarily...
- while we're being nice. - I'll retire when I want to.
The employment rules clearly specify the age of retirement.
Why would you decide when I should retire?
Voluntary retirement, my foot.
- What? - Mr. Kim.
- Wait. - Mr. Kim.
Is this the labor union office?
I'm Kim Jeong Sik of Nogyung Branch.
I was forced to retire from the branch manager just now.
We aren't living in the old days. He can't do this to me.
I see.
We're getting so many calls about voluntary retirement at the moment.
The person in charge is on the phone.
Will you wait?
Of course, I can wait.
- How long... - You were
Born to be loved
Answer the phone already.
(No Dae Ho Appointed as Auditor of Daehan Bank)
I did some research...
and Seomin Agency already closed down.
Its owner went off the grid too.
You know that much?
Why are you concerned about this?
I can't stand if I'm curious about something.
Sometimes, it's better not to know.
But mostly, knowledge is power.
As the employee of Tech Team,
I spotted the money flow of Seomin Agency by chance.
But after the general manager of Sales Team One resigned,
it became impossible for me to find any trace.
Employees are given different levels of access by rank.
The Seomin Agency files are no longer accessible.
It means the upper management is involved in it.
We're suspecting it's Vice-president Yook.
But you have no evidence.
Give me the access.
I'll help you investigate in secret.
I'll do that.
Request the Tech Team unofficially.
Okay.
I'll contact you later for the follow-ups.
- Okay. - Saturday.
I'll be off then.
How have you been?
- Let's sit. - All right.
Can we trust him?
He said he found Seomin Agency by chance,
but he actually accessed the classified information.
He should be audited.
He took his courage to report it.
And he's willing to help.
It's good for us.
I was worried things would end leery with Mr. Min's resignation,
but now that we have a tech expert helping us,
I feel like we're getting the full support.
Moon Hong Joo is the full support?
What about me?
What am I to you?
You?
You're just Seo Bo Geol.
Are you...
still investigating on Seomin Agency?
As we already told you,
an auditor is most helpful when they do nothing.
Stirring the company...
would only demotivate the employees.
Still, I can't just sit idly by.
I should earn my keep.
Auditor No.
I just got a report from a middle-aged section chief...
who's illegally being forced to retire.
The just Seo Bo Geol,
not the full support.
Really?
Who is he? Which branch is it?
Rather than that useless full support,
the just Seo Bo Geol...
is way more helpful to you.
I'll prove it to you right now.
Let's go.
Mr. Kim Jeong Sik of Nogyung Branch...
joined the bank in 1992.
He has five years before the age of retirement.
Due to the recent restructuring, the branch forced him...
to retire voluntarily, and when he refused,
they removed his desk and started to ostracize him.
They call it voluntary retirement,
but they're actually kicking him out.
Besides, each branch has to reduce the given number of employees.
It makes him embarrassing to hold out.
Some of them have to resign for the others to survive anyway.
After the new vice-president...
announced the large-scaled restructuring,
things are uneasy among us drivers too.
We're worried less executives...
might lead to a reduced number of drivers.
Replacing President Kang?
He's good at using me as his puppet to take care of dirty work.
You knew his intention,
- so why... - Because there's reward.
Head Manager Han Soo Ji.
You must learn how important each and every single one on your side.
I'm Lee Hae Gon, and I'll be a vice-president of this bank...
as of today.
What, vice-president? President Kang...
thinks he can control everything like pieces on a chessboard.
He looks nice and kind,
but he's actually sly and cunning.
Besides, you're the key executive under my influence.
Everyone knows about that.
Didn't you say it yourself?
That we're already the same team.
Vice-president Yook.
This is Han Soo Ji.
What...
do you want me to do?
I read an interesting news article today.
"Is Kang Sam Do's occupation a president of a bank?"
"He's been the president for three years now."
I guess they want me to resign.
- Are you planning on another year? - I don't know.
Give me your position and go to somewhere higher.
You're indeed straightforward.
And you're sly as always.
Aren't you here to ask me about the source of the article?
Was it you?
I don't know.
The heavens must be on our side,
seeing how someone else is criticizing his consecutive terms.
The moderate executives are being swayed due to the article.
They think four consecutive years would be too much.
I'm sure they do.
Among the 7 executives, there are 3 on our side.
The problem is how to attract...
those non-executive directors appointed by President Kang.
Professor Yoon has changed her mind.
Now meet with President Park.
I've already put in a word for you.
Two of the non-executive directors just joined our side.
Really?
We have five votes now.
Three more votes,
and the game will be in our favor.
Ms. Do and her people must be confused where to side with...
after the appearance of Lee Hae Gon.
President Kang...
always dumps his people once they become useless.
Let's stir up their anxiety...
and work on the other five non-executive directors.
Okay.
Auditor No.
Please take a look at this.
Mr. Kim Jeong Sik...
received the lowest score on the personnel evaluation.
He was going to get fired anyway.
We recommended him to retire voluntarily...
so that he could take a little more on his pension.
But he didn't appreciate our kind consideration...
and requested an audit...
to the head office.
One more thing.
Mr. Kim...
has received the lowest evaluation score for 10 years.
Every branch he goes, he receives such an evaluation result.
It means...
there's something wrong with him.
I understand.
To progress this fairly,
I'd like to hear from his colleagues. Will that be okay?
You won't get much information even if you do.
He's a taciturn man.
- He won't have anyone close. - Right.
Can you tell me about Mr. Kim?
He's cranky,
but he doesn't say anything wrong.
Sometimes, he comes forward on our behalf.
I'm grateful for it.
He's a little strict,
but he's very fast and precise at what he does.
In short, he's a veteran...
at his work.
He throws his temper from time to time,
but he's fairly strict...
towards others as well as himself.
I don't know why such a competent man is still a section chief.
Rumors say...
it's because his boss in the previous branch hated him.
What kind of education is he up to by the way?
This isn't the training period for employees.
Don't you know about the exile camp?
They send problematic employees to the camp...
to make them write a letter of resignation.
One, two.
Left, left.
One.
Why are they training employees at the Marines camp?
Even the word, military, gives me the chills.
One, two.
One, two. Left.
I should just join them.
I'm here from the Audit Team of Daehan Bank.
I'm looking for Mr. Kim Jeong Sik of Nogyung Branch.
Does anyone know where he is?
- He's at the front. - There?
- He's there at the front. - Why is he at the front?
Excuse me.
I'm looking for Kim Jeong Sik of Nogyung Branch...
who requested for an audit about illegal coercion on retirement.
That's me.
I'm Kim Jeong Sik.
I see.
I'm here to ask you about a few things.
When will this end?
(Reflect on your life as a banker.)
The weight of the money sack...
is the weight of your duty as a banker.
- I will... - I will...
- Were you faithful to your duty? - fulfill the duty.
- I will... - I will...
- Chant it louder. - fulfill the duty.
- I... - I...
- will fulfill the duty. - will fulfill the duty.
Next.
Don't slack off.
Calm yourselves down.
Think about your past days.
If you're given another chance,
what kind of banker will you become?
As a banker,
what should you reflect on the most?
Do you...
deserve to be a banker?
Be honest...
and write down your regrets.
(Letter of Apology)
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E07 'The Banker' "IT officer Young Joon" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(My office life...)
I'm sorry.
I think I've lost the basics already.
I will just...
choose to retire.
Me too.
Give me the voluntary retirement form.
I'll retire too.
Me too.
Mr. Kim of Nogyung Branch.
Is there nothing you regret or reflect on?
Watching the video made me realize...
I was so lucky.
I've worked at such a nice company.
It's been 27 years since I joined the bank.
I was inattentive to my wife and children because I was busy.
I feel a little apologetic for it.
But I only have pleasant memories about my work.
So there's nothing to write on this letter of apology.
Unless it's about grateful and pleasant memories.
How could I not be touched by this?
He never did anything shameful as a banker.
Mr. Kim should be awarded for it,
but he was forced to retire and sent to the exile camp instead.
It made me boil with anger.
Here's the problem.
His colleagues' comments about him...
was much more positive than the report...
on his personnel evaluation.
Really?
The two of his bosses said he's an uncooperative, problematic employee.
But his colleagues had different opinions.
They were rather grateful to him...
for standing against unjust situations.
This is so hard.
Is it even possible to evaluate employees...
objectively?
- Where are you? - Oh, right.
We're throwing a welcome party for Mr. Moon today.
- I'll request for overtime pay. - Head there first.
I'll follow after talking with the general manager of HR Team.
The branch manager and the vice manager of Nogyung Branch...
are also mid-evaluators of the restructuring.
In order to reduce the given number of employees,
they have no choice but to refer to performances and evaluation reports.
I see.
Also, that boot camp training is so outdated.
It's ridiculous.
Since the restructuring,
we, HR team, have been concerned about the same issues.
Anyway,
we'll try our best...
to adopt more democratic and advanced evaluation system...
in the near future.
- I'll look forward to that. - Sure.
Have a good day.
Vice-president, Lee Hae Gon.
Yes, Mr. No.
What is it?
Do you have anything more to complain?
I talked to an employee today saying that he's been forced...
to go to the boot camp and to resign.
So?
I know reconstructing is important.
But don't you think you need to improve...
on unfair retirement and unfair process?
Is this also the business of management?
Not the auditor's?
Well, in my opinion,
that seems like the business of a conscience.
- What? - Your branch was closed.
But somehow, you're not fired and became an auditor.
Do you think that's fair?
Have you seen the news this morning?
"Is president Kang's job just the president?"
Geez.
As a board member of Daehan Bank,
I'm so embarrassed.
To be honest,
if president Kang took Lee Hae Gon in,
doesn't that mean that he doesn't trust, CFO, Do?
If you take our side this time,
I'll make you...
a CFO.
I brought you here to my place to talk about confidential issues.
I hope you understand.
Help yourself.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
We're okay, but I'm worried about your daughter.
She's a high school student.
She put her earphones on all day, so it's fine.
She won't hear us.
It's so good.
Please, go ahead.
I know you like hamburgers.
How do you know his daughter so well?
Do you come here often?
It's more than coming here often. He lives...
Teenagers!
All teenagers are the same, you know.
They always put their earphones on listening to K-pop music.
They remember celebrities' birthday but not their own dad's.
And they are so rude.
Of course, that doesn't mean that Han Sol's like that.
Han Sol is so nice,
and so smart.
I was talking about other teenagers.
She's so great.
Cute.
What did she say?
She said whoever is sponging off her dad...
should pack and leave tonight.
Or she'll leave.
Well, you have to leave then.
Hong Joo.
Do you have a room?
Yes, but no.
Han Sol might be uncomfortable.
Let's start the meeting.
Yes.
Do you have any additional information...
about Seomin Agency?
I do.
Seomin's registrant.
That name was so familiar and turned out to be the same...
with the registrant of Seomin Distribution...
from Jin Seon Mi's old files of Gongju Branch.
Is that so?
That's interesting but isn't it a coincidence?
No, no.
They are both Seomin.
I think they are one person.
I'll check later and let you know.
I'm not sure if this is related, but...
Kim Jeong Sik who requested for the audit about retirement.
The one who evaluated him really bad...
was Min Hyeong Ki from Sales team 1.
Really?
Before he came to the headquarters,
he worked with him for 10 years at Yeonhui West Branch.
Kim Jeong Sik was a Section Chief then as well.
I don't know what it is...
but these are all connected.
There's another link here.
What about Gongju Branch?
I investigated a little after what Bo Geol said.
On data, his branch's performance...
was much worse than Gongju Branch which is closed.
No way.
Well.
His branch's performance was worse than Gongju Branch.
How come this branch hasn't been closed?
It's not about them not being closed.
Maybe there was a reason...
that Gongju Branch has to be closed.
What's the occasion in this early morning?
I don't think I can't talk about this during work.
And I figured you might be busy attending all the board meetings.
I thought you don't care about other people,
but you know what's going on.
Are you team Kang or Yook?
I don't care about that.
I'll just ask you directly.
Are you hiding anything from me about the closing of Gongju Branch?
No, I'm not.
Even if I am,
I can't tell you because it's confidential.
There shouldn't be any secret that the auditor doesn't know...
if that organization is doing right.
It depends on what team you choose.
I thought we were on the same team.
Was I wrong?
The same team?
Ever since the Inspection Team was involved,
we were no longer on the same team.
You know I didn't mean to.
You know when someone's on the same team...
at a particular moment, not by your intention.
- Ms. Han. - Gongju Branch...
was not on the final closing list I submitted.
Then who made the final decision?
Well,
all I know is that I didn't mean to.
According to Han,
Gongju Branch was not on the final closing list she submitted.
I don't know who edited the list.
We should find out if any other branches were closed additionally.
You have the list of closing branches, right?
Then we should figure which ones are the actual bottom 20 percent.
It's going to be a lot. I'll help too.
This is the Audit office.
Can you send me the business performance of 2018?
Yes, all the branches.
Is there anything I can help?
(Episode 8 will air shortly.)
(Episode 8)
Are you really resigning?
My younger kid is going to the elementary school next year.
And my mom's too sick to take care of my kids.
They offered me to pay two years' worth of my salary.
So, I should take this chance, I guess.
You worked so hard to stay here...
dropping your babies off at daycare.
I also don't want to get any more pressures.
I mean, life is long.
So, If I get bored, I can always find another job too.
There was the time that you and I were on a roll.
Hello?
Hello.
Are you the Section Chief Kim Jeong Sik?
Yes, this is he.
I don't know if you'd remember but...
we knew each other from when you worked at Yeonhui Branch.
I'm Park Jeong Bae from Seomin Distribution.
Oh, he's right on time.
This way.
I didn't know Min Hyeong Ki was coming too.
I mean...
I know you two didn't get along when you were at Yeonhui Branch,
but Mr. Min no longer works for Daehan Bank,
and Mr. Kim is on the list of voluntary retirement.
Who said that I'm on the list of voluntary retirement?
We all know...
how cruel the bank can be.
Honestly,
even board members are getting fired.
You've been a Section chief for like forever.
How long do you think you can keep your job?
Am I wrong?
Whatever.
What were you going to ask me?
My lunch time is almost finished.
We're the ones who got betrayed by the bank we were loyal to.
Why don't we pay back?
Huh?
A friend of Mr. Park is a certified public appraiser.
He's going to estimate the value of the site of Seomin Agency...
to be really high.
If you can process the loan application based on that appraisal,
my friend in the Evaluation Team will approve it.
Then we split 100 million won...
and fly abroad.
You watched too many movies.
Do you know how strict Evaluation Team is?
They won't approve the loan of 100 million won that easily.
Don't worry about it.
We have someone on our back...
who can move Evaluation Team.
At this reconstructing,
he had to resign for really unfair reasons.
You're going to resign anyway.
Before you resign, just process our loan application,
and send it to Evaluation Team.
Then we'll give you 500 million won.
I mean...
isn't this...
illegal?
We have to survive anyway.
They just used us and then fired us. What have they done for us?
The price of loyalty?
What is that?
Mr. Kim.
It's not like we don't have any other to talk to.
There are so many voluntary retirees who's resentful about this bank.
There's a long line of them.
We came to you only because we worked together.
Two years' worth of salary and your severance...
and 500 million won from us.
It's actually a great deal.
And I heard that your son's getting married soon.
Was there anything suspicious about closing your branch?
I don't know.
Our branch's performance was so low anyway, so...
You were the manager of Yangpyeong Branch.
What's your thought about closing your branch?
There's no particular reason for closing a branch.
Our performance must've been so low.
Well,
haven't you ever thought that there might be another reason?
I don't know if I'm out of luck,
or if I'm just so bad at my job.
I started this restaurant with my severance.
But I'm about to close this one too.
You know...
if we have enough evidence,
are you willing to sue the bank together...
for your branch's unfair closing?
No, I'm okay.
I already cleared my mind hiking mountains.
I don't want to bother again.
You're lucky by the way.
Your branch was closed too,
but you became an auditor.
You don't seem to feel good today.
No,
I don't feel good today...
to think that maybe I was just lucky.
They say your luck is also your ability.
Do you think so?
I hope it is.
(Emergency Board Meeting)
Lee Hae Gon convoked a board meeting...
for the illegal sale of non-business building.
That is good.
We've waited enough.
We're replacing the president Kang on that day.
- Okay. - Okay.
How's it going with persuading team Do?
Mr. Cheon from team Do...
took your offer very positively.
Thanks to the support of Assemblyman Jung,
Mr. Jang, Mr. Moon and Mr. Oh...
will join our team now.
Then...
out of total 15 members...
(The list of board members)
nine members.
We're going to win.
Here.
An emergency board meeting?
I think Lee Hae Gon...
is moving in earnest.
I guess so.
Ever since he took office,
Mr. Yook became so busy, I heard.
He seems to have a lot of gatherings.
It's going to be so interesting to watch them fight,
and to see who wins.
Checkmate.
Oh, geez.
I can never defeat you.
I don't fight a losing battle.
(Section Chief, Kim Jeong Sik)
(Voluntary retirement application)
So, what's happening?
Former representative of Seomin Agency and Sales team 1,
and an appraiser are colluding together...
to borrow 100 million won on security of locked property land.
Is that what you're saying?
Yes.
They offered me 500 million won for processing that application.
500 million won?
Mr. Min is not making a smart plan.
Even though he was a banker,
Evaluation team will never approve such loan application.
That's what I thought.
But, he said not to worry.
He said he got someone on his back...
who can move Evaluation team.
Someone who can move Evaluation team?
He even said that?
The mastermind of Mr. Min and Seomin Agency...
Oh, then those up on high...
that the representative of Seomin Agency told you was...
I think once the application goes to Evaluation team,
it's for sure to be approved.
They said they can always find someone else to do this job.
They were so confident.
This is big.
Someone up on high approved this illegal loan.
I mean, there are people like you,
and I believe in our bank's system.
But that system is made by people.
Mr. Min was not this low before.
It's not the person.
It's just the situation.
No other bank should suffer like this again.
Sure.
I got it.
You took your courage to tell us.
I'll try my best...
to stop this illegal loan approval.
Fortunately,
before I submit the retirement form,
I got to relieve my concern.
Are you retiring?
When I got the offer of 500 million won,
I wavered a little.
I've been boasting to Mr. Seo that I have nothing to be ashamed of...
in the 20 years of my life as a banker.
If I ever wavered, I'm not a good banker.
Now that I confessed to you,
I have no regrets...
at all!
(Business relationship. Appraiser)
There are hundreds of people retiring from all the branches.
No one knows who will write out...
the loan paper.
Whoever writes out, the paper will be sent to the Evaluation Team here.
If we trace back the loan application that has...
derelict land of Seomin Agency as collateral,
we can track down who submitted the application...
and who approved the application.
That being said,
I'll notify the Tech Team,
would you check the approval of loan applications...
that are sent to the Evaluation Team...
with the Inspection Team?
Okay. Don't worry, sir.
No matter what Seomin Agency changes its name to,
I'll find all the related documents.
(Evaluation Team at Daehan Bank)
What's going on?
What is Audit Team doing here in the Evaluation Team office?
(Im Chang Jae Evaluation Team General Manager)
Who are you?
Who authorized you to do this?
We need your cooperation.
We got a report that...
One of the members in the Evaluation Team...
is attempting to approve the illegal loan application...
that is related to the ex-CEO of Seomin Agency.
Please stop what you were doing...
and get your hand off of computers.
Get off your hands!
What do you take us for?
Huh?
What should we do, Auditor No?
It's a credible report...
related to the Evaluation Team.
- Start searching. - Yes, sir.
What are you talking about?
Illegal loan application?
None of our members would do that.
The last loan of Seomin Agency...
was also approved by someone here.
It happened before I came here.
Wasn't it?
Ever since I was appointed as the Evaluation Team General Manager,
there was no unsavory incident.
The resigned manager of Sales Team 1...
and Seomin Agency took the lead...
and one of the members here promised the approval.
Without you knowing, there's a mastermind...
who is also trying to confuse the Evaluation Team.
In our Evaluation Team,
there's no case I don't know of.
Even if there's a betrayer here,
I should be the one to catch him.
All right.
Then we will focus on Seomin Agency.
In the meantime, ...
please stop the betrayer and the mastermind.
Mr. Yook. It's an emergency.
Auditor No barged into the Evaluation Team.
I think he sensed something's wrong.
Contact Mr. Min first.
Don't worry.
Sign the paper and bring it right back to me.
Yes, sir.
What's going on?
No Dae Ho seems to keep digging this Seomin Agency case.
I should sort things out before the emergency board meeting.
How will you sort things out?
They don't know the world is changing and loosen up.
I'll completely break their spirits.
Why are you all out here?
Please go check inside.
Oh, right. It's your desk.
(Auditor No Dae Ho)
Please sit.
I'm not sure how long you can stay though.
What brought you here?
I'm sure if you heard but...
in the emergency board meeting,
I'll replace President Kang with myself.
Do you think it's feasible?
I think it's 100 percent feasible.
Appointing someone like you as auditor...
counts as his misstep.
As far as I know, an auditor is appointed not only by President...
but also the approval of board members and stockholders.
The board members consists of President Kang's puppets anyway.
So does the stockholders.
Have you ever seen the stockholders raise their voice?
President Kang is taking back Lee Hae Gon...
and trying to restructure the bank.
The branch reduction and the reconstructing...
has downsized Daehan Bank.
Everyone knows that.
Besides,
it's known that I ordered the reduction...
but the final approval was made...
by President Kang.
Vague personnel management and the downsizing...
and stagnant performance...
are enough reasons to oust him.
So...
why are you telling me this?
I'm warning you to keep your head down.
Do nothing like you're dead.
Excuse me?
You can do nothing about Seomin Agency.
Whoever becomes President, the case will be dismissed.
Do you mean...
the mastermind of the illegal loan of Seomin Agency...
who is in Daehan Bank...
is Mr. Yook yourself?
This is as far as you can go.
If it sounded so, believe it so.
You'll see.
When I become President,
after I get rid of President Kang...
No Dae Ho...
you'll be removed.
Find out right now.
Search the whole place and find him right now.
Illegal loan approval.
Our reputation depends on this, do you understand?
Yes, sir.
Until it's resolved,
not even a safety pin can leave this place.
I said what I said.
Find out who did this.
(Audit Office)
Did you hear anything from Evaluation Team?
No.
Now that it's revealed, what if they change the approval route?
I don't think so.
10 billion won worth of money cannot be approved...
without the Evaluation Team.
What if...
one in ten thousand...
before Evaluation Team finds the evidence of illegal loan,
Mr. Yook becomes President?
Then, aren't we also in danger?
Mr. Im has a bad temper but he has a good reputation.
Let's believe in him.
Finally, today is the day.
We will all support you.
Thank you all for your hard work.
When you come back out here,
you'll see the new world.
You're all wondering about...
today's emergency board meeting.
All of you are...
future non-executive directors...
it wouldn't hurt for you...
to join the meeting.
(Daehan Bank Board of Executives)
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E08 'The Banker' "Vice President Yook’s Grand Plan" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Have a seat.
Many of you have come...
to today's board meeting.
I gathered all of you...
to see the result...
together.
Let's get started.
It feels weird here.
Push it back next time.
Today's meeting is to proceed the process of...
selling the real estate for non-business use.
As I said...
Before that,
I suggest an emergency agenda.
President of Daehan Bank...
used to serve for six years. It was an unwritten law.
But President Kang Sam Do served for nine years.
There's an article saying...
'Is President Kang Sam Do's job just being president?'
The whole nation is laughing at us.
What are you trying to say?
Vice-president Lee over there...
announced the restructuring...
and requested today's emergency board meeting.
What caused all this and made us...
decide to sell the real estate?
Because of President Kang's misstep,
Daehan Bank's performance is stagnant and...
is ending up touching the bottom.
How's his personnel policy?
He appointed No Dae Ho as auditor...
who is from a failed branch...
and took back Vice-president Lee...
who was kicked out to a subsidiary company.
How long are we...
going to be under his leadership?
How long are we going to...
take responsibility for his misstep?
I request that President Kang...
should resign from...
the three consecutive appointments.
If you support me, please stand up.
Please stand up.
Please stand up, non-executive directors.
If you don't pluck up courage, Daehan Bank will never change.
Professor Yoon?
Mr. Park?
Mr. Yook, I didn't know that...
you have a gift to...
surprise people?
This is why we don't improve.
Since we are worried about the improvement of Daehan Bank,
we didn't agree with you.
Actually, a month ago President Kang said...
Vice-president Yook will take advantage of his position...
to become President.
You are unable to predict future...
and your move can be easily read.
We can't support you.
Mr. Yook...
you served well.
Well, knowing the way...
you resign like this,
I'm sorry about that.
All of you who are standing will be relieved of your positions.
I'll remember who's standing behind him.
This can be one of the restructuring process.
(The rat in the Evaluation Team is caught.)
(We are right at the door.)
Im Chang Jae, Evaluation Team General Manager...
is at the door...
to report something urgent.
He said it's related to...
Mr. Yook's dereliction of duty.
Sorry?
Mr. Yook's dereliction of duty?
What's going on?
Under Mr. Yook's order,
one of the members in the Evaluation Team...
attempted to approve the illegal loan of 10 billion won...
and Mr. Im caught him and stopped him.
I'm sorry.
These unfortunate incidents are revealed at once.
Since you served well here,
I don't want to accuse you of any crime...
but I can't help it.
This is...
it for you.
The person who didn't stay long...
turned out to be me.
Yesterday you said whoever is the President,
Seomin Agency case will be dismissed.
What on earth is Seomin Agency?
Also,
why some branches including mine...
were closed when we were not...
at the bottom 20 percent?
I heard that a few branches...
including mine were not even on the list in the first place?
Is the person who wrote the final list...
you, Mr. Yook?
Given you figure that out,
you are not that bad.
Please tell me.
What is Seomin Agency?
Does it...
have something to do with Seomin Distribution at Gongju branch?
Even though I ended up like this,
I devoted myself to protect Daehan Bank.
I can say nothing about that.
If you truly want to protect Daehan Bank,
you should not only stop the corruption and concealment,
but also reveal the truth.
If you hide the truth,
Daehan Bank will never change.
Didn't you want to oust President...
to change Daehan Bank?
Please tell me.
What is Seomin Agency?
Seomin Agency is...
(Assemblyman Jung Soo Chan)
Let me take this call.
Hello.
It's me.
Thank you for your work so far.
Those who have to leave should live,
but those who remain will have to live.
What are you saying?
As I know,
your two sons are...
working for Daehan Bank.
Even though you won't be here...
the future of two sons of yours...
Let me stop here.
We'll see each other someday.
If you'll excuse me.
He's quite talkative.
He would understand by now.
Assemblyman Jung, let me pour you some.
Aren't we still friends?
We are.
Seeing you two happy...
makes me happy.
I also have pleasant news.
Mr. Park.
You'll hear good news soon.
(Park Jin Ho, served in Ministry of Finance and Economy)
Thank you, sir.
Can I...
pour you drink as congratulations.
Yes, sir.
Congratulations.
Cheers.
Can we continue?
Mr. Yook?
(Oldest son)
(Thank you, dad. I've been assigned to a New York branch.)
(It's all thanks to you.)
(Thank you so much.)
(Dad.)
(I've been assigned as a personnel general manager...)
(at the headquarter of Daehan Investment.)
(I won't ruin your reputation.)
(Thank you so much.)
I have nothing to say more.
What was the call that...
stops you say what you want to say?
I'm sorry.
I can say nothing.
Mr. Yook.
Don't trust President Kang too much.
Mr. Kim seems to resign today.
He sent me a picture.
Next, illegal loan in Daehan Bank...
He received many bouquets.
He must've been popular.
Mr. Yook is on the news.
Former Vice-president Yook Gwan Sik,
Both bankers have two different ends.
When they first became bankers,
we all learn that the important quality of bankers is...
honesty and trust.
However,
when the sense of duty is ruined and the faith is shaken...
we have to make a choice.
Whether we made a right choice..
honorable retirement can tell you.
We, bankers, should never...
stop asking this question to ourselves.
Am I a good banker?
How much profit did you make out of the illegal loan?
It went well this time again.
Good movies are out...
Do you want to watch a movie?
I was paid a lot of bonus.
I can pay everything.
Mr. Seo.
Do the right thing.
Never forget your first time.
Why? What do you mean?
Did I do something wrong?
New head of Financial Supervisory Service is...
You won't send me back to Gongju Branch?
I don't make the same mistake.
Right, Ms. Jang?
...considered as a well-qualified...
Mr. Park Jin Ho will be presenting...
his management plan at his inaugural ceremony.
There is much attention towards...
the government's financial reform.
(Park Jin Ho is appointed as head of Financial Supervisory Service.)
(The Banker)
Too many people are coming to Vice-president Lee's office.
For the Personnel Director,
I'm considering you.
I want to bestow you authority and power.
Come work for me. Work by my side.
It seems like there's corruption in the recruiting process.
We should fully pay attention to the recruiting process.
I'm asking you, No Dae Ho. What the hell are you doing?
Ms. Do.
