The goal-hitting manager
Goal-hitting manager 01
Today is a very important day in my life.
It's my first day at work after being hired as a manager at Big Hit Entertainment.
To achieve my dream of becoming a manager, I applied to every job posting I saw, running around aimlessly to build my resume. Goodbye to all the hardships! Now, I'm ready to become the manager of my dreams.
I was one of those people who struggled to find a job, wandering from place to place. Finally, I had a stable job. I couldn't believe I'd beaten the fierce competition to get hired.
Naturally, I wanted to stay at this company for as long as possible, so I dressed up from the morning to look good and opened the door to the chairman's office solemnly.

Hello, I am Yoo Yeo-ju, a manager at Big Hit Entertainment!
방시혁 사장님
Welcome.
After being trained in various manuals, I was given a rough explanation of some instructions, and was told who the celebrity in charge was.
방시혁 사장님
Ms. Yeoju, please work as the manager in charge of actor Kim Taehyung.
유여주
yes.
유여주
...yes?
유여주
Is that the popular actor these days, Kim Tae-hyung??
방시혁 사장님
yes.
유여주
Me??
방시혁 사장님
yes.
유여주
Is that okay??
방시혁 사장님
yes.
방시혁 사장님
I won't take any more questions. I'll call Kim Taehyung aside and explain the manager to him, so please stay downstairs.
유여주
yes...
...I feel like I've been put in charge of a huge person from the start.
Can a new manager like me take charge of someone like that?
I waited for Kim Taehyung, chewing my fingernails, feeling anxious that I had taken on a task that did not match my abilities.
Then, when I turned around at the sound of someone tapping my shoulder,
김태형
hey.
유여주
yes?
김태형
Are you Manager Yoo Yeo-ju?
유여주
Yes, yes..! Are you Kim Taehyung?
김태형
Yes. As you can see from my face, I am none other than Hallyu star Kim Taehyung.
..? From this point on, I felt something was strange.
This level of popularity is enough to be felt, but... isn't that bragging too much?
유여주
Seriously... you're a popular actor these days... haha
Even though it was a little awkward, I agreed out of courtesy.
I don't know how much longer I'll have to wait for him, and he doesn't seem to have a good temper. He's even more of a strict sergeant than I am...
Even if you have a complaint, you have to keep it down. What's the big deal about social life? You have to look good to people in higher positions no matter what.
김태형
Today is the first day, so you don't know my schedule, right?
유여주
yes...
김태형
Ha... Just go wherever I tell you to go today.
김태형
For now, it's CHN broadcasting station until 10 o'clock.
유여주
yes..!
What the... As expected, it seems like he's a really shameless person.
유여주
Uh..uh..!
유여주
Here... make a right turn...?
유여주
Um... Uh... Tae, Taehyung, can you tell me what time it is now?
김태형
It's 9:30.
김태형
Are you sure you can arrive by 10 o'clock?
유여주
I'll try!
유여주
It's my first time as a manager... It's my first time going to a broadcasting station...
김태형
Hey there.
유여주
...
김태형
If the perfect image I've built in the entertainment industry crumbles, will you take responsibility?
김태형
It's not about effort, it's about being there by 10 o'clock no matter what.
유여주
yes...
How can there be such a cheapskate?
The perfect image? That's hilarious.
Even the image you've shown me just now is pure narcissism. He's so unlucky, living his life with such a high and mighty reputation, it's enough to make me want to punch him in the head, but his high and mightiness are facts, so there's nothing I can say about it.
I'm so frustrated, I could die.
Squeak-!
김태형
ah,
김태형
I can't drive even once.
유여주
...I'm sorry... sob...
Kim Taehyung's gaze turned towards me, his voice slightly choking.
But I drove looking straight ahead to avoid making eye contact.
I secretly cursed Kim Taehyung, calling him a loser, a brat, a narcissist, a prince.
I was too proud to show my tears, so I held them back and focused on driving. One accident would mean death or life, I thought. So I picked up the pace, continuing to drive cautiously.
I said I'd bring you there by 10 o'clock.
김태형
her...
유여주
...
김태형
I don't know how you became a manager, but if you're not going to do your job properly, quit.
김태형
Did you become a manager to drive like this?
김태형
Or are you trying to see my face? If that's the case, then say so. I wouldn't have kept someone like you by my side even if it meant flashing my good looks a hundred times.
Squeak-!
김태형
madam...
유여주
Mr. Kim Taehyung, please get off. We have arrived at CHN Broadcasting Station. Look at your watch. It's not even 10 o'clock yet, right?
김태형
her?
유여주
You go up first. I'll follow you.
Kim Taehyung just left without even a word of thanks, not even a single word of thanks for bringing me here. I hadn't even expected a greeting, but now that it happened, I'm feeling annoyed.
As soon as Kim Taehyung got out, he banged his head on the steering wheel.
유여주
You want to be my manager just to see my face? You're kidding, Kim Taehyung, that's not my style, damn it...
They say that as rice ripens, it bows its head.
What should I do with this person who is not even as good as rice?
From my first day on the job, I'm filled with the urge to resign.
I think I got the wrong job...
