Lee Bo-young and Son Na-eun used
In the 5th episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Agency' that aired on the 21st, Go Ah-in (played by Lee Bo-young) was the youngest daughter of VC Group Chairman Kang (played by Song Young-chang) and Kang Han-na, who was appointed as the head of the VC Planning SNS Division, as the person who will deal with advertisers on her behalf. (Son Na-eun) took the lead. This is because he saw through Kang Han-na's desire to become the successor to the group, overtaking her older brother Kang Han-soo (played by Jo Bok-rae).
Go Ah-in, who handed Kang Han-na a pre-prepared press interview question and answer sheet, said, “The chairman’s daughter, the next vice-chairman who will lead the future of the group, has shown new leadership by innovating from the first day of work by replacing the unreasonable corruption that has been entrenched as industry practice for decades.” suggested that we do. If Goain fixes it, it's an accident, but if Kang Han-na fixes it, it becomes innovation. The clear strategy of 'give and take' was that Go Ah-in could use Kang Han-na to quell the backlash from advertisers, and Kang Han-na could create an image as a strong rival to her brother.
It was also revealed why Go Ah-in provoked her without hesitation on Kang Han-na's first day at work. In the eyes of others, it may have seemed like he was just leaving because he was a managing director with a limited time limit, but he clearly made it known that he was the person Kang Han Na needed. A dog that wags its tail is needed only in peaceful times, and a hunting dog that shows its teeth is needed when going hunting. Kang Han-na, who has to hunt for the title of Vice Chairman of VC Group, is fierce, but when she formed her side, she needed the most reliable hound, that is, an orphan-like person. In this way, Goain made Kang Han-na aware of the fact that “candlelight is brighter than the sun at night.”
Kang Han-na, the 'mini-me' of the grandfather Chairman Wang (played by Jeon Guk-hwan), who instinctively knows what is beneficial to him, also weighed the profit and loss calculation. According to my grandfather's advice, a subordinate who is smarter than his master should not be jealous, but should make him his own and entrust him with tasks that cannot be solved. Kang Han-na, who sensed that there was a greater benefit to be gained by giving Kang Han-su a big blow to Kang Han-soo rather than giving up for the benefit of Go A-in, the 'trickster' who provoked her, eventually decided to accept her offer and conduct a media interview.
Meanwhile, Choi Chang-soo (Jo Seong-ha) planned to take down Go Ah-in by taking advantage of advertisers' complaints. Marketing executives from affiliates of VC Group, the largest advertiser, were gathered separately and bowed their heads in apology, explaining that the whole situation was Go Ain's arbitrary and unexpected action. In addition, he said, “We will prepare a situation where we can comfortably take responsibility,” and requested that VC Planning be visited in person and make the matter public. CD Kwon (played by Kim Dae-gon) was secretly instructed to create a “situation where advertisers can feel comfortable expressing their anger” by putting up a poster condemning Go Ah-in’s actions.
However, this actually became a “thankful step up to the plate” for the Goans. Kang Han-na ended the interview in a good mood, saying, “If you have power, such as resolving old and bad habits that no one can control, you should use it properly,” and as an innovative leader, not a parachute of the president’s daughter. However, the shocking sight we encountered while sending the reporter off was a provocative poster that said, “The rookie executive who attacked the advertiser without knowing it must resign.” Kang Han-na, who had her face smeared in front of advertisers and reporters who just happened to be there, was in awe. Go Ah-in, who planned this entire situation and dragged Kang Han-na into the lobby under the pretext of seeing off the reporter, said, “Come on, let’s show off your temper,” and watched the whole situation leisurely, finding it amusing. It was an unprecedented ending that left people amazed by the strategy of killing two birds with one stone, using Kang Han-na to 'take care of' an unfavorable situation for him and even succeeding in counterattacking his rival Choi Chang-soo.
Episode 6 of ‘Agency’ will be broadcast at 10:30 pm on the 22nd.
