[Contest] Love, Is There No Fair Trade Act?
[ep.1] A Fateful Encounter
Yeo-ju, who overcame the hellish difficulties of three company bankruptcies, two trainee scams, and four failed debuts, is now standing at the top of the pyramid.
The popularity of Yeoju, who debuted at the young age of 16 and is now in her 4th year, is so great that it cannot be expressed in words.
Despite being a solo singer, she won the grand prize at last year's music festival, and everyone who passes by recognizes her.
Also, when you turn on the TV, you always see the female lead, and when she makes a comeback, she always takes first place as if it were nothing.
The heroine, who has now become synonymous with popularity, is now enjoying the leisurely pace of being at the top of the pyramid.

(Walking arm in arm) What's going on this time?
매니저
I don't know~ Just keep calling me something useless this time!
매니저
(Clenching his fist) Bam! I'll just hit him with my fist.
김여주
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even if you hit me, it doesn't hurt at all
김여주
If you hit me with that tiny fist, where would you get a bruise?
매니저
Tsk.. but I did taekwondo when I was a kid!
김여주
I have that too~~
매니저
Hey! Don't tease me
The female lead and her manager stand in front of the CEO's office bickering.
김여주
Even if I hadn't been dieting like I am now
김여주
It must be as strong as a tiger...
???
(sobs) Sir, please!!!
김여주
..?
매니저
..?
김여주
(Looking inside through the crack in the door) Who seems to be in the CEO's office?
김여주
Are you sure you want me to come now?
매니저
Oh, it's 1:30.
Inside the office, a person who looks like a trainee is kneeling in front of the CEO.
전정국
I was a trainee here for 3 years.
전정국
But suddenly I got kicked out..!
소속사 대표님
Are you really asking because you don't know?!
소속사 대표님
The lesson fee is 7 million won overdue!
소속사 대표님
No matter how good your skills and abilities are,
소속사 대표님
Don't you think this is too much?
전정국
Okay, I'll pay that back as soon as possible...
소속사 대표님
Pay it back as soon as possible, pay it back as soon as possible, it's already been a year
소속사 대표님
I can't watch this anymore!
전정국
I am the representative...
소속사 대표님
(Wakes up Jeongguk) Don't stay like this, get out of my office quickly.
소속사 대표님
Because of you, I can't even have the meeting I need to have.
소속사 대표님
Get out quickly!!!
전정국

Jeongguk's tears fall pitter-patter
전정국
I really want to stay in the entertainment industry..
소속사 대표님
Get out!!!
전정국

전정국
(Suddenly)
Jung-guk and Yeo-ju's eyes meet as they come out of the representative's office.
김여주

전정국
(bow) Hello, senior
김여주
Yeah..oh okay
김여주
Did we see that... at the end of the month evaluation?
전정국
..yes
김여주
Older than me..?
전정국
No, same age
김여주
ah..
There is an awkward silence for a while, and then the CEO of the agency comes out of the office.
소속사 대표님
Oh! You're here, Yeoju?
소속사 대표님
Come in quickly~ I bought you your favorite brownies.
As soon as the representative came out, Jeong-guk ran away in a panic.
김여주
(Sigh... I'm worried)
매니저
Representative, Yeoju can't do it because she has to go on a diet~
매니저
Instead, I really like those brownies haha
매니저
Can't I refer to you?
소속사 대표님
(looking at the manager) Oh well... you eat it.
A few minutes later
매니저
(Mumbling) So why did you call us?
소속사 대표님
This time the female protagonist...
1 hour later
매니저
(bow) Sir, then we will go.
매니저
I ate the brownie deliciously haha
소속사 대표님
I didn't buy it to give to you...
소속사 대표님
Anyway, I'm glad it was delicious
소속사 대표님
Go in carefully
김여주
yes
김여주
(bow) I'll go
The female lead and her manager go down to the parking lot.
김여주
Where are we going now?
매니저
I went to do a press interview
매니저
V App live broadcast on the way home, and then off work!
김여주
Oh~ You memorized it all?
매니저
Because I only had 5 schedules today haha
매니저
There's still about an hour left...
매니저
Huh? Isn't that the guy from before?
김여주
where?
매니저
(Pointing with hand) That guy over there
매니저
The kid who came out of the CEO's office crying earlier
Jungkook is crouching in the corner of the parking lot, his head bowed, wiping away tears.
김여주
...Looking at him reminds me of when I was young
김여주
I cried a lot when I was a trainee too.
매니저
Yeah, you really made me cry
김여주
(Going towards Jeongguk) Just wait a minute! I'll be right back!
매니저
Hey, what are you going to do?
The female protagonist approaches Jeongguk right next to her and taps him on the shoulder.
전정국
(raising his head)...?
김여주
Were you in front of the CEO's office earlier?
김여주
Do you really want to go into the entertainment industry?
전정국
