Chapter 238: Chapter 232
“What? Whistleblow it?
Sungmin was embarra.s.sed. The reason he called Hyunwoo was to work together for common prosperity, not ruin.
But Hyunwoo was serious about it.
“Sooner or later Korea Broadcasting will make a special program on KOVE Blue. You can disclose KOVE DREAM's problems one by one then. Just try to gather all the companies who are put at a disadvantage and vent your complaints all at once.”
“What are you talking about?”
Sungmin was so scared that he couldn't continue.
“What I mean is..” Hyunwoo said in a calm voice as if cutting off Sungmin's words. “You don't have to be surprised. I'm just admitting what's happening there. As you pointed out, KOVE DREAM has limited ability in judging the technical prowess of other companies.”
“Ah, yeah…” Sungmin stammered as if he still had lingering anxiety.
“You don't have to keep complaining like that. KOVE DREAM needs to enhance their technical skills to judge others. That's why I'm asking you to whistleblow on KOVE DREAM. Tell Korean Broadcasting about the clear limits of KOVE DREAM.”
“But I might suffer…”
“Don't worry. You won't suffer any disadvantages.”
“Are you sure?”
“As president of KOVE DREAM, I'll promise you. Your whistleblowing will be of great help to us. When the special program on KOVE Blue is on air, those companies who suffered a disadvantage because of KOVE DREAM's incompetence can join it.”
Hyunwoo gave him rea.s.surance on that.
Only the did Sungmin understand Hyunwoo's sincerity.
“Got it. Let me go ahead and whistleblow as I trust you. I expect you to keep your promise.”
“Of course!”
After the call, Hyunwoo clenched his fist. He felt he instantly solved a problem that had him agonizing for several days.
After some thinking, he called Kw.a.n.gsu of Real Film,
“Brother, I've discovered one! I mean, the concept of KOVE DREAM Blue.”
“Really? What is it?”
“Disclosing the obstinacy and incompetence of KOVE DREAM.”
“What the heck?”
Kw.a.n.gsu stopped for a moment. Like Sungmin, Kw.a.n.gsu initially thought Hyunwoo's remarks were outrageous.
But Hyunwoo was confident that he could achieve everything with that concept.
“There are several companies within KOVE DREAM Blue that are better than KOVE DREAM companies. Still KOVE DREAM does not recognize their technical skills. We're going to whistleblow on that.”
“What are you talking about? I just don't get it.”
Hyunwoo's point was clear and simple.
KOVE DREAM only accepts those companies whose technical prowess has been proved. As a result, no matter how great of technology a company had, it couldn't join KOVE DREAM unless KOVE DREAM could prove it. So, those companies with excellent technology can't join KOVE DREAM.
And this is what's happening to some Korean companies in Vietnam now.
In the special program, Hyunwoo would have to show the viewers the reality behind the scenes. The reality was that KOVE DREAM's limits were inevitable and that KOVE DREAM wanted to achieve its own goal despite harsh criticism of its obstinacy.
“If KOVE DREAM had not been stubborn, it would have accepted many more companies by now. And most of them were equipped with excellent technical prowess, but there is a possibility that even one or two bad companies could join it. That's why KOVE DREAM strengthened its application criteria to rule out such a possibility with such obstinacy,” said Hyunwoo.
Only then did Kw.a.n.gsu understand what he was trying to say.
“Though you are saying ‘whistleblow,' the conclusion of the program is that these KOVE DREAM companies are quite trustworthy.”
“Yes, that's right. And one more thing.”
The special program this time features the companies of KOVE Blue. In particular, those companies like Dynamic that suffered a disadvantage because of KOVE's strict criteria despite their excellent technical prowess.
If the special program publicized such companies, people would have a different perception of the KOVE Blue.
Kw.a.n.gsu suddenly cut in,
“Ah! That means KOVE Blue is as good as KOVE DREAM, right?”
“Yes. Even KOVE Blue has its own strict criteria to accept its members. And there can be companies of KOVE Blue that have better technology than KOVE DREAM members.”
“Okay, now I completely understand what you mean, brother. Very good concept. Let me set up a shooting plan.”
Several days later, Hyunwoo drove to Seoul, stopping at an old mid-sized apartment unit located in Youngdungpo, Seoul.
Hyunwoo went in.
“Welcome,” said Minhye, greeting him gladly. Unlike her image, she was putting on an ap.r.o.n.
Yonggu came out to the porch and took his gift.
“You got here earlier than I expected. As you're terribly busy, I thought you'd be late. How come you bought a gift like this, man?”
“How can I be late on a day like this? Oh, everybody already arrived?”
There was a total of seven who got ahead of Hyunwoo. There were three friends of Yonggu's, and four of Minhye's, including Hyunwoo. They were all unmarried.
Hyunwoo giggled at that.
“Wow, are you sure this is a housewarming gathering? Looks like a blind date.”
With a bright smile, Yonggu answered wittingly, “Have you heard about housewarming dates? Hahaha.”
