Lamar I'm at Namsan Seoul Tower

Episode 11

The sky was slightly clear compared to the day before. The sun, which was normally covered in the thick fog of winter, has now been reduced. That morning, managers, ArtD employees who work at the head office, trainees, ArtD artists who have training schedules or other affairs, have started arriving at the ArtD Entertainment building.

As people walk into the office, Jung Soo stands on the porch of ArtD Entertainment. He was waiting for Hyun Jae to come. He had to arrange a concert schedule in Yongsan-gu.

From a distance Jung Soo can see a shoulder-length blonde woman wearing jeans on her knees, a tight red sweatshirt, a black hat and sunglasses.

The woman was about 170 cm tall, above average in height when compared to Korean women in general. The woman was very white, slender and had a beautiful face. Jung Soo recognizes the woman, she is Lee Seung Yun.

Seung Yun waved at Jung Soo, he walked over to Jung Soo.

"Hai Heo Jung Soo, nice to see you again. I just got back from Beijing. My girl group contract in Beijing is over and starting today I have another career in Korea." Seung Yun continued talking without waiting for a response from Jung Soo.

"I was very surprised when I heard you became a top artist in Korea and became the top ArtD Entertainment artist. Though you used to be a innocent boygroup member and.sorry yes, a failed boygroup," continued Seung Yun.

Jung Soo did not respond at all, but Seung Yun continued to talk.

"I didn't expect you to be a worldwide Kpop star, cool, charismatic, and a woman's idol. I actually wanted to meet you when I heard you became successful, yes to give me encouragement and congratulations, but I was very busy" Seung Yun said.

In the parking lot not so far from Jung Soo, Hyun Jae just parked his car, then got out of the car and walked over to Jung Soo.

Hyun Jae was surprised to see Seung Yun standing in front of Jung Soo. Seung Yun himself was also surprised to see Hyun Jae's arrival.

"Hyun Jae Oppa, how are you? Are you Jung Soo's road manager now?" ask Seung Yun kindly.

Hyun Jae nodded his head with a smile.

"Jung Soo is becoming more and more successful and his schedule is always orderly and neat, it turns out Oppa who became his manager" Seung Yun praised Hyun Jae.

"But don't let you end up destroying her schedule like the artist you used to be" Seung Yun added.

Hyun Jae sighed as he held back his emotions.

"You haven't changed huh, talk too much" Hyun Jae said as he let out a contrived smile.

"Jung Soo let's go in, we don't have much time."

Hyun Jae pulled Jung Soo's hand to go inside. Seung Yun just smiled and then he walked into the building.

Ayli Hoon wore a thick winter jacket, a soft gray scarf, her hair was stroked, and her right hand carried her beloved bag. She wears thin makeup that makes her even more cute. That morning she looked so beautiful like a Kpop Idol.

Ayli Hoon ran in a hurry to enter the ArtD Entertainment office because it was almost too late. It would be a shame if he was late on the first day of work. Arriving on the third floor, Ayli Hoon immediately headed to the door above which read Park Shin.

With a nervous feeling, Ayli Hoon knocked on the door and opened it.

"Good morning."

Ayli Hoon stood in front of the table. Not forgetting he saluted by bowing his body. Park Shin invited Ayli Hoon to sit down.

"You've come, you're on time." Park Shin greeted me kindly. The man is 50 years old.

Ayli Hoon smiled as he nodded politely.

"It's your first day at work, of course it's not possible to directly handle everything. Today's just the introduction of ArtD Entertainment's office building."

"Later to come Chung Ara, she is a fashion stylist and makeup artist here. He's the one who's going to take you to work and go around ArtD Entertainment" Park Shin said.

"Thank you sir." Ayli Hoon did not know what to say, he could only smile and nod his head.

Shortly after, a shoulder-haired girl opened the door and entered. The girl looks the same age as Ayli Hoon. It has skin that is not too white and eyes that are narrow.

It turned out that it was Chung Ara that Park Shin had talked about earlier. He came and invited Ayli Hoon to tell around the ArtD Entertainment building. Ayli Hoon followed her very friendly co-worker.

They started from the courtyard, Chung Ara told Ayli Hoon while pointing at the direction he was talking about.

"On the left of the building there is an ordinary parking lot and underground parking. All ArtD Entertainment artists and staff get free parking."

"While on the right is the ArtD Entertainment cafe. The cafe is where artists, directors, producers and ArtD Entertainment bosses take a break and enjoy a meal and a soft drink. Especially for them free, but for ordinary employees or other visitors, yes have to pay. It's good not to be an idol?" Chung Ara.

Finished looking at the front, left and right, now Ayli Hoon was invited to the back of the building. There is a large and beautiful swimming pool, a large field and behind the field there is another building called a dormitory for trainees from far away.

"The "hostel consists of two buildings, each of which consists of five levels. Inside each building there are ten houses, yes you could say apartments. The first building is a dormitory for women and the second is a dormitory for men." Chung Ara explained excitedly.

"But it's specifically for trainees, while for idols who have debuted, provided dorm in a luxurious apartment. And interestingly for the top artist ArtD, they provided a Villa," continued Chung Ara again.

Ayli Hoon thought about how big the business of KPop ArtD Entertainment could make a spacious building. Chung Ara said that there are still more ArtD Entertainment facilities, but some are in the existing branch office in Itaewon district because of the land area that is no longer possible.

Chung Ara invites Ayli Hoon to enter the building. He told me one by one, starting from the ground floor. There is a receptionist, a large lobby, and on the left side is a male and female toilet.

On the right is a restaurant blocked by a glass wall. The restaurant was very large, inside there was no sight of people sitting because it was already working hours.

After finishing from the ground floor, they went up to the second floor. There is a place where various kinds of ArtD Entertainment artist accessories are sold. There are album racks, photo spots, and others that cater to lucky guests and fans.

"It's usually used as a place for fan visits. But it's not so complete here. The complete one is in the ArtD Town building in Jongno-Gu, ", explained Chung Ara.

Ayli Hoon was very impressed with the neat arrangement, everything was neatly arranged. Albums are arranged by Group or solo.

They went up to the third floor.

"This is the ArtD Entertainment employee's workplace floor, and at the end of it is an audition and casting room." Chung Ara continued to explain.

After that they went up to the fourth floor. There are six rooms for trainees to practice. They continued to the fifth floor. There is a room for ArtD Entertainment artists to practice and there is a room for artists to rest and relax.

On the sixth floor there are three recording rooms and five rooms are used as music video shooting studios. On the seventh floor is the room of the entire artist manager ArtD Entertainment. On the eighth floor there is a makeup and costume room.

On the ninth floor is the boardroom, the CEO, director and owner of ArtD Entertainment. On the highest floor is a place to celebrate a party.

Starting at noon, Ayli Hoon felt quite tired to browse the ArtD Entertainment building which has ten floors. Chung Ara was tired because his mouth kept talking to Ayli Hoon.

"Ayli Hoon, my lips are about to come off and my throat is very dry." Chung Ara laughed which followed Ayli Hoon's laughter as well.

"Let's go to the ArtD cafe, I want to buy bubble tea," Chung Ara asked.

Ayli Hoon agreed because she was tired.
