Dojin hit another home run.
Moreover, this video is divided into seven parts and will be uploaded one per day for a week.
It was like pouring oil on a fire, so the reaction was not cooling down and was only getting hotter.
Thanks to this, today at Lael Entertainment, Director Joo Kang-hee, the marketing team, and the so-called Dojin TF team dispatched from each department were holding a meeting.
“What happened to the report I asked you to compile all the community responses?”
“I’m currently writing it. But since it’s become such an issue, additional responses are continuously coming in real time. As I continue to collect those… … .”
“Then, please continue reporting. For positive responses, just check the overall flow, and for negative responses, carefully review them one by one.”
Yes. Joo Kang-hee immediately turns his gaze away from the employee who gives a short answer.
The other employees who caught her eye tense up.
“A lot of people are looking for it, right?”
A question with an omitted subject.
However, there was no one who did not know what the subject that Joo Kang-hee had omitted was.
The employee said with a slightly tearful look on his face.
“Honestly, I think it’s reached its limit to just hold back on the requests and suggestions that are pouring in now. Sir, no, we at Lael Entertainment respect the opinions of our creators and take a stance to create an environment where they can focus on their work, but I think the other side feels a bit… like bullying.”
“Certainly… I guess I’m starting to reach my limit now. I was going to ask when things calmed down a bit, but what is this… … .”
Joo Kang-hee didn’t intend to drag it out like this.
The reason Dojin was brought into the company in the first place was to take advantage of his rising popularity, so they quickly scheduled interviews and other events.
But at that time, Dojin hit the jackpot in the new world, and she changed her policy to support Dojin so that he could fully focus on the game.
‘At that time, I had the belief that if I let them do what they wanted, they would definitely get a return, so I did that… … .’
The problem is that Dojin over-satisfied her faith. He should have moderated it at the right time.
‘What kind of home run are you hitting like this? Can’t you just take a break and hit it?’
Moderation. Yes, moderation is necessary for everything. But that person doesn’t know moderation.
‘But I can’t tell you to take it easy.’
Joo Kang-hee, who smiled bitterly at the thought, shook his head.
“So, which is the most polar?”
As soon as I asked, all kinds of places popped out.
A public broadcasting station that provides broadcast convenience to its affiliated celebrities without asking or inquiring.
The cable network promised to place two people on an audition program without asking any questions.
It was even worse on the Internet broadcast side.
It is only natural that merger and collaboration offers are pouring in regardless of the broadcasting platform, whether you are a YouTuber, streamer, or BJ.
The staff explained that there were quite a few broadcasters who even asked about moving to another agency to follow Dojin.
“Organize the proposals you receive neatly and upload them. Prioritize the ones that benefit the creators more than the company. Organize the pros and cons of each proposal so that they are easily visible. Write them as if they were proposals for creators, not reports for me.”
Then let’s move on. Joo Kang-hee quickly conducted the meeting.
Today is the seventh video, the final boss battle video of the underwater cave dungeon.
I was going to be busier, so I had to deal with the current issues quickly.
* * *
11 am.
Normally, this would be the time to do whatever you want in the game world.
But today, Dojin was unusually present in reality at this time, and even more unusually, he was talking to someone other than his manager, Cheon Jihyun.
[“The video uploaded at midnight has 28 million views. With this many views in just 11 hours, you could joke around and say it’s on the level of a K-pop idol music video. How do you feel about becoming this popular?”]
The person on the other side of the tablet screen is Planning Director Joo Kang-hee.
Dojin smiled awkwardly at the slightly playful question.
“Are you kidding me?”
[“No way. Mr. Dojin is currently giving a lot of benefits to Lael Entertainment. From my perspective, I just keep an eye on Mr. Dojin’s mood, and I have no intention of teasing him. Really.”]
In that sense… Joo Kang-hee drags out his words. In response, his manager Cheon Ji-hyun, who was standing behind Do-jin, quickly shoves something in front of Do-jin and steps back.
When I looked into it, it turned out to be a contract.
[“This is a newly written contract. Everything is the same as before, except for the revenue aspect. The company will not touch on any revenue from Dojin’s personal activities, including his YouTube channel, other than things he does with the company, such as advertising and merchandise sales.”]
It was a moment when the ratio of 9 to 1 changed to 10 to 0 in some cases.
[“There aren’t many companies like ours that handle all the overall tasks, from YouTube channel management to video production, without sharing any of the profits from that, right?”]
“Can I do business like this? It costs me a lot of money.”
[“How much do you think the Lael Group spends on marketing and advertising in a year? Don’t worry, just because the Lael Entertainment name is being mentioned here and there thanks to Dojin, it’s a business that will last for 5 more years even if you volunteer.”]
“It sounds like you’re saying that we should give ourselves plenty of time when renewing the contract.”
[“There are calculations like that too.”]
Joo Kang-hee nodded and honestly admitted it, then winked again.
Step by step. Cheon Ji-hyeon places something in front of Do-jin once again and steps back.
“What is this?”
[“This is a compilation of suggestions that came from Lael Enter, or rather, Mr. Dojin.”]
Joo Kang-hee added after seeing Do-jin lift it.
[“I think it’s time to decide on the direction of Dojin’s external activities. Oh, don’t misunderstand. If Dojin finds this annoying, I’ll just kick him out. I’m just discussing how to respond at the company level when requests like this come in.”]
As I turned the first page, I saw a clearly organized list.
There are comments about where the suggestion came from and what would be beneficial if this activity was done.
Even though I don’t know who organized it, the content and volume made me think it must have been quite difficult.
Dojin, who was flipping through the data, stopped.
-Special activity expenses: 25 million won
It was because of this item.
The appearance fee is written separately, but what does this mean?
Dojin, who was curious, asked directly.

“What is this? Special activity fee?”
[“If Mr. Dojin accepts the offer and takes the time to complete the activity, is this some kind of bonus that our company will pay?”]
Dojin was speechless.
Even if you consider that he is enjoying the great publicity effect of becoming famous and his company becoming famous as well, it seems excessive.
Isn’t the way this industry works to share the profits in exchange for taking care of the bothersome stuff and running around doing sales here and there?
[“To be honest, as you can see, there are a lot of offers coming in for Dojin. And among those offers, there are many that offer Lael Entertainment a very attractive price. Even if that’s not the case, if you just have Dojin appear in good places here and there, Lael Entertainment’s reputation in the industry will go up… I’m a little greedy.”]
“It’s like adjusting the profit distribution ratio and including strange things like special activity expenses. From Lael’s perspective, it seems like they’re going to use it for advertising expenses.”
[“I would appreciate it if you thought of it this way, as I highly value the value that Dojin possesses now.”]
“But even so, if I say I don’t want to do it, you’re saying you’ll give up?”
Yes, of course. There was no hesitation in Joo Kang-hee’s answer.
Just being able to display the Lael Entertainment logo on every video uploaded to Dojin’s channel was worth the time, money, and effort Dojin put into it.
[“Need some time to think?”]
When Dojin shows signs of hesitation for a moment, he asks.
“no.”
Dojin shook his head and said.
“I’ll pick one or two and do them.”
Joo Kang-hee’s expression brightened.
But I don’t necessarily want to continue talking about work.
Now that I’ve heard a positive answer, I’m going to wait until I decide what to do.
So that it doesn’t look like you’re rushing.
[“How is your life these days? Are there any inconveniences? Like the accommodations or anything else?”]
Joo Kang-hee naturally changed the direction of the conversation to everyday life stories.
At this, Cheon Ji-hyeon, who was standing behind Do-jin, became nervous.
If Dojin is uncomfortable with something, it’s her fault as his exclusive manager.
“What’s inconvenient?”
Dojin, who asked that question, was lost in thought for a moment.
Then Cheon Ji-hyeon saw.
The gaze of Joo Kang-hee on the screen staring at himself intently.
‘Please, Dojin. There was nothing uncomfortable, right? Even if there was, there wasn’t anything uncomfortable.’
Cheon Ji-hyeon prays with her hands clasped together in her heart.
Did her heart get touched?
“No matter how much I think about it, there’s nothing? Jihyun takes care of everything, even the parts I couldn’t even think of.”
Cheon Ji-hyeon praised Do-jin in relief.
[“Cheon Ji-hyeon Temple.”]
Joo Kang-hee called her. She had a satisfied smile on her face.
“Yes, okay?”
Cheon Ji-hyeon freezes and answers the call of her boss who is like the sky.
[“I just got promoted. From now on, I’m Team Leader Cheon Ji-hyeon. Please continue to actively take care of the creators in charge so they can focus on their work.”]
“Yes, yes? Sir, sir?”
She asked back with a trembling voice, but Joo Kang-hee had already turned away.
[“Thank you for your positive response today, Mr. Dojin.”]
“No problem.”
[“If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Then.”]
After exchanging greetings, Joo Kang-hee left.
“I’m going to end the video call,” the subordinate said, and the screen went black.
Dojin thought as he looked at the monitor where Joo Kanghee had disappeared.
‘He’s a man who knows how to deal with people.’
Asking if there was anything uncomfortable in a place like this, and mentioning Cheon Ji-hyun’s promotion in front of him, were all just performances to put a lot of pressure on him.
“Thank you, Dojin! When you asked me if I was really uncomfortable, I thought my heart would drop? But you answered so nicely. And thanks to that, I got promoted? Am I really dreaming? I’m not even a manager, I’m a deputy, deputy!”
People you see almost every day are jumping for joy, saying it’s all thanks to you. So of course you’d feel a lot of pride in your shoulders.
In fact, Dojin felt good seeing the person who packed his food every day so happy that he didn’t know what to do.
but.
“Sister, I think it’s time to stop shaking.”
It was a little painful to be swayed back and forth by the hands of my exclusive manager who couldn’t contain his joy.
