[seung1]
did
did any of you see the chan kid’s resume
[owoozi]
i almost feel bad
i feel like he sent that to other companies too
[brightest star]
you’re incapable of feeling any emotions aside from smug and pleasure from other people’s miseries so shut up jihoon
we all know you laughed the hardest
it’s okay
you can admit it
seokmin’s not here
[owoozi]
hey?
soonyoung?
go die please?
[seung1]
hush kids
about the application
oh thank god you saw that too
I thought I gained a new power and started seeing what people’s true feelings were like
and then I got confused because I checked kkt and jihoon’s latest message to the new company gc was “I’m quitting this company I hate this gc so fucking much”
and ?
and then I messaged here
[brightest star]
“new power”
what
what else do you have
[seung1]
cuteness
[brightest star]
debatable but all right
[owoozi]
are you implying I don’t hate this company
[seung1]
shrugs
I mean
do you?
[owoozi]
anywasys
about the lee kid
do we hire him or not
[brightest star]
nice change of topic right there but
i say yes
[owoozi]
explain
[brightest star]
he’s hot
[owoozi]
can anyone that’s not soonyoung give an actual reason we should hire this kid
[seung1]
he’s from kaist
that’s a big university right
he’s bound to be good
[owoozi]
seungcheol we’ve been over this
just because someone is from a sky university doesn’t mean theyre automatically smart
look at jeonghan
[seung1]
I don’t understand your point?
jeonghan is the smartest man I know
and he graduated from snu
[owoozi}
why do I put up with all of you
[brightest star]
just hire the damn boy jihoon
look at his resume
[owoozi]
you make a good point (for once)
mmm
all in favor of hiring lee chan say aye
[brightest star]
aye
[seung1]
aye
[owoozi]
aye
all right that’s all of us
he’s hired
I’ll tell HR to contact him.
[brightest candy]
FINALLY SOME GOOD EYECANDY
[owoozi]
suddenly he’s unhired and soonyoung’s also fired.

[Complaint form filed by Lee Jihoon]
Complainant’s name: Lee Jihoon
People involved: Yoon Jeonghan
Details of Complaint: HE FUCKING PUT CUPS FILLED WITH WATER ON ALL SURFACES OF MY FLOOR MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GO INSIDE. ALSO SOME CUPS HAD DYE IN IT AND SPELLED “SHORTY” WHO DOES THIS WHO DOES THAT WHAT’S HIS PROBLEM OH MY GOD I HATE HIM SO MUCH.
Action taken by HR: Yoon Jeonghan will clean up the mess and write a formal apology to Lee Jihoon.
[Memo correspondence between Yoon Jeonghan and Lee Jihoon]
Dear Jihoonie,
TO begin with, I fully apologize. I didn’t know pointing out the truth would hurt you so much, but as they say the truth hurts and I should’ve seen this coming. Also, it wasn’t me who even did the whole water cup thing; it was Kim Mingyu and Lee Chan. I didn’t set ANY one of the cups. Even check the CCTV! I didn’t do a single thing!
But you know, since I’m the oldest, I might as well apologize for them too.
Yours,
Yoon Jeonghan
Jeonghan,
go die you’re so full of shit.
Regards,
Lee Jihoon
P.S. thank you for the twelve pack of pudding cups. I’ll happily eat them as I smugly watch you clean my office.
Dear Jihoonie,
Aw! Love you too <3
Yours,
Yoon Jeonghan

I just don’t know how to tell them
I don’t want them to be disappointed in me :-(
[shua]
hey
I can’t say if it’s going to be okay or not
but I think it’s better if you just come clean to them.
it’s clear that this is taking a toll on you…
[seung2]
I’ll definitely think about it :-(
what did you tell them when you quit being a trainee?
[shua]
mmm I just
came clean to them
I told them that I didn’t want to be an idol anymore
and just wanted to be a teacher
[seung2]
that sounds so easy
[shua]
yeah but at the time
it wasn’t
it’s scary now but
in a few months, you’ll laugh about it
[seung2]
mmmm
how did you even end up working here??
aren’t you still a teacher??

i’m just scared that they’ll feel disappointed in me
you know because I gave up

I think it’s brave that you stopped when you didn’t like it anymore

if that makes sense

how’s the fort with your family?

I honestly don’t know what to do
i just want things to be how it is :-(
[seung2]
I definitely feel you :---(
I was like that when I was deciding if I should continue to be a trainee or not
I guess it’s your heart who wants to decide on what you want
you gotta ask yourself:
what do you like?
[hansol] (unsent)
you
[hansol]
ah! that makes sense
I guess I like editing.
maybe I’ll do that

uwu
hopefully seokmin’s good traits will be able to rub off on you when you inevitably start dating
there’s a sexual joke there but i don’t want to point it out because I’m a good Christian boy
and we all know it won’t only be seokmin doing the rubbing ;-0

Greetings!
We have had an unofficial partnership for so long that we feel that you’re company is the perfect fit for our company. We’ve always had good outputs whenever we outsource some of our editing to you, and as our company gets busier and we have no time to train new editors, we’re opening our doors to an official partnership with you.
Don’t get us wrong, we don’t want to absorb SVT inc., we merely are offering for your company to be our official affiliate and go-to for editing jobs we don’t have the time to do. We hope you at least consider our offer. Attach would be the contract proposals we are willing to give to you as incentive to accept.
Regards,
D/g/ped/a
MONTHLY MEETING AGENDA

Time: 12:00 P.M
Item/Presenter:
- Call to order (Lee Jihoon)
- Roll Call (Lee Jihoon)
- Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes (Lee Jihoon)
- HR complaining about Yoon Jeonghan’s behavior
- When asked if they legitimately hate him, HR rep only says: “I mean… We all think he’s cute, but at the same time he hurts our feelings a lot so we can’t really excuse that.”
- Kwon Soonyoung asks if HR decides on their punishments on the fact if an employee is cute, HR rep. only goes red at the mention of that.
- Lee Jihoon looks murderous at this point.
- HR rep. quickly says “Oh, that’s just a joke!”.
- Nobody believes them. Choi Seungcheol looks as if he’s contemplating if the whole HR department can steal Yoon Jeonghan away from him.
- HR. rep. coughs and redirects conversation back to their complaints about Yoon Jeonghan. Says they don’t really care about his comments that much, they just wanted to vent a bit.
- Lee Jihoon definitely breaks a pencil.
- HR rep. leaves quietly after voicing their complaints.
- Normal business continues as usual
- Choi Seungcheol announces the D/g/ped/a contract. Kwon Soonyoung agrees on signing it. Lee Jihoon is skeptical.
- Lee Jihoon concedes to it seeing as it’s another stable revenue for their employees.
- Kwon Soonyoung brings up a Hollywood agency email asking if they can outsource effects to them.
- Choi Seungcheol squints at him and brings up the fact that the CGI department is swamped.
- Kwon Soonyoung nervously laughs and says they’ve been letting Lee Chan work with them.
- Everyone groans.
- Discussion on whether or not Lee Chan should also be added to the CGI payment roster.
- Lee Jihoon immediately says yes.
- Choi Seungcheol immediately says yes.
- Kwon Soonyoung immediately says yes.
- Lee Chan will be added to the CGI payment roster.
- Normal business continues as usual

- Lee Jihoon brings up KDS Broadcasting Company coming to them for simple BG works
- Choi Seungcheol tells him to accept it.

- “We don’t have any more money!” –Lee Jihoon
- “A company is all about taking risks, Jihoon!” –Kwon Soonyoung
- Choi Seungcheol once again attempts to play mediator.
- It does not work.
- Adjournment
Next meeting: October 5
Additional notes/information:
I suggest you look back at the reason why you created this company Jihoon. You won’t make vapid pop songs but you’ll make vapid bgms? Pathetic. –Kwon Soonyoung
Soonyoung, you’re taking it too far –Choi Seungcheol
I’m sorry if I’m only fucking looking out for our employees. –Lee Jihoon

[owoozi]
hey
can I ask for your opinion.
I trust you to give me an unbiased view.
[seoknotmean]
!
sure hyung
shoot!
[owoozi]
what if
you turned away easy big money because it went against your values
and instead just started paving your own way even if it’s not easy
just so that you could get a chance to do what you really want
but now that you have that chance
you realize you can’t do it or else you’ll risk the lives of other people
you’ll risk the livelihood of these people
and you don’t want that
but at the same time
this is the chance you wanted.
hypothetically of course
[seoknotmean]
I mean.
hypothetically speaking
if you care enough about these people that you’re worrying about them
in exchange for your happiness and fulfillment
then surely these people also care about you enough
that they’d encourage you to take the risk?
I mean,
from what you described…
I’d assume these people are your friends
and they’d also want to see you be fulfilled
and support you in whatever way they can…
[seoknotmean]
hyung?
[owoozi]
oh
I’m just thinking.
[seoknotmean]
oh…
what’s this all about?
[owoozi]
nothing.
just some thoughts.
remembered some things.
but you’re right.
thanks seok.

[Blog post made by Lee Jihoon during his fourth year of college, before he went and started SVT INC. with Choi Seungcheol and Kwon Soonyoung]
I don’t want to make this kind of pop music.
I’ve seen my seniors enter this line of business. They enter with high hopes in their eyes; passion for music still in their hearts, but the industry eats them up and chews them out. I’ve seen them. I’ve seen their eyes—eyes devoid of any kind of love for music, eyes that’s only thought would be a fat paycheck and music that doesn’t resonate with anyone. Their creativity all but sapped out, the only reason they’re creating music they don’t have it in themselves to create is because they’re bound by a contract.
I don’t want that. I don’t want a future where I see music as a means to an end, where I lose all my love for music.
I won’t be like my seniors. I’ll do it my own way.

[hansol]
honestly any…
anything..
any information would be great
I just want to do something with my life.
I guess I don’t want to keep on depending on my parents?
[gyu to the three]

and u’ve long been independent from ur parents
u just live w them
u could like idk

I guess I want something tangible like a degree
to show I did something
you know?
[gyu to the three]

I understand somewhat.
[hansol]
jeonghan hyung is going back to school
my gap year is almost up
svt inc will probably be there too
i want to go back to school
but I don’t want to feel like I was forced into it?
so here I am asking you if film school was worth it
[gyu to the three]
okay.
I think I may have the answer for you
film school was
cut for length

❤01:30 AM
Hey Chan!
We realize that it’s almost been four months since you’ve started working with us. We understand that you are currently taking a break from KAIST. If you wouldn’t mind we would like to ask a few questions about it? You can choose to not answer if it makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t worry! Any possible sensitive information we’ll get from this will be kept confidential and won’t be used against you in any way. You have our word on that.
Regards,
HR Department
oh lol that
yeah no i dont mind
Hey Chan!
Forgive us if we may come off as insensitive, what exactly happened? KAIST normally doesn’t let their students take long breaks with the promise of you still having a slot if you choose to come back. We would just like to help you for when you go back to KAIST—to make things as smooth as possible.
Of course, if something highly sensitive did happen, you are under no obligation to tell us! We’d also just like to remind you that SVT Inc. offers mental health insurance. If you’d like to go to a therapist but your current plan doesn’t cover that or if you simply don’t have the means—we’d gladly help you find one!
Regards,
HR Department
how the fuck can I begin to explain how kaist almost killed me and that’s why they decided to give me a second chance so I won’t go public with this. how do I explain that I almost died and that now my parents are taking all measures to avoid me and it feels like im the loneliest person in the world. how do I say this in a way that lets you understand how much I fucking hate that teacher at kaist who gave me that almost failing grade when ive aced all of his exams always appeared early just because he didn’t think I deserved it because he thought I was a brat I don’t
oh i'm sorry i don't feel comfortable telling you that information
Hey Chan!
No worries! We totally understand!
We’d like to reiterate though, SVT inc. offers free mental health insurance and if you’d like to have access to this, you can just talk to any people part of HR Department or any department head!
Regards,
HR Department

i dont want to talk about it
[brightest star]
and i get that. i wont force you to talk about it.
i’m just letting you know that i’m here
svt inc is right behind you, you know?
if you need professional help we can help you get it
[chanson]
OH MY GOD IM NOT CRAZY
[brightest star]
no ones calling you crazy
[chanson]
YOU ARE
[brightest star]
i’m not chan
getting help doesnt mean youre crazy.
[chanson]
yeah right
[brightest star]
i’m telling the truth
i used to also go to therapy too when things used to be really tough
i think jihoon and cheol are still going until now
jeonghan literally is planning to go to school to be one
no one thinks youre crazy for considering therapy
[chanson]
you used to go to therapy?
[brightest star]
yeah i did.
werent you there when it happened?
[chanson]
i just started working here two months ago
[brightest star]
OH IM SORRY SJDJD
sometimes i keep forgetting you werent part of us since the beginning
you being here feels very natural chan.
BUT ANYWAYS well
i had problems with school
and then it got really bad that i started vomiting whenever i felt anxious which was ALL the time
and then i also started to stop caring
which scared a lot of people and then
i got put on probation as my friends and family forced me to get help
WHICH
i dont hate them for it because
i probably wouldnt be here if they didnt do that
[chanson]
oh
you had problems in school too?
[brightest star]
too?
[chanson]
please answer the question
[brightest star]
well yeah i did!
my family wanted me to take up business when i REALLY wanted to take fine arts but i loved them more and i thought theyd hate me if i didnt take up business
so i did!
but i didnt really like it
i hated it with EVERYTHING i had because it made me feel stupid and dumb so i kinda had the breakdown
and then you know the whole get help thing
and then i realized i had one life to live and it was mine and i should live it the way i wanted to so i switched to fine arts
when my family found out my decision they still supported me even if they were sad but they were able to realize that my happiness was far more important!
met jihoon and the others and then here we are :)
[chanson]
oh
i wish my family was like that
[brightest star]
oh?
[chanson]
yeah
see
UGH
theres a reason why kaist let me go on a long leave term of absence. they didnt want me to sue them lol
[brightest star]
why wouldnt they want you to sue them?
[chanson]
well
they kinda forced me in a position where i wanted to die so bad i tried to go through with it
[brightest star]
chan
why?
[chanson]
yeah
there was a professor and he HATED my guts
bc i was like young and all and i pointed out one of the mistakes he did when he was giving out a lecture
so like he made my life a living hell
and gave me failing grades when i knew i was perfect in all those exams
i took it up with the board
they just laughed at me
my gpa continued to go down and my family hated me
like FULL ON hated me like dont come back home if your grades arent an a yet or like you bring us shame blah blah blah even though i tried to explain i was doing EVERYTHING i could
then it got to a point where i literally couldnt do it anymore like i couldnt take it
i wrote a letter detailing the above as to why im taking my life
tried to off myself
survived for god knows why
school board told me i could redo my year next year if i keep quiet so i did and now im back w my parents
and my prents havent talked to me since the beginning of when i went back to them.
they went on a vacation without me and told me to straighten out my crazy so i could go back next year
decided to find a job
then we re here
[brightest star]
youre not crazy okay?
what happened was very far away from your control. you did everything that you could but you found no support from the people that was suppose to support you the most
[brightest star]
chan?
you still there bud?
[chanson]
yeah
i just had to take a minute. i guess i really needed to hear that.
thank you.

this what i’m here for! i’m your friend!

Greetings!
Attached here are the music files you requested from me compressed in a zip. I worked hard on it too so I hope that it makes the final cut.
However, I do wonder. There was another guitar track, right? Why did you ask Seokmin for help on it? Isn't that you hired me for guitar works? Don't take this as me complaining, it's just... curious. :)
Regards,
Joshua
I received your tracks. Thank you for sending them to me early. I hope the others can learn from your work ethic. It’s one of the things I respect about you. Also, I gave it to Seokmin because I knew you were busy that week. I am not that heartless.

To whom it may concern:
It has come to our attention that SVT Inc. is harboring the rightful heir of Xu Incorporated. We have reason to believe that you are holding him against his will. Xu Inc. has sent this notice in order to let you know that they will file a lawsuit for unlawful imprisonment if you do not comply with their demands. Attached to this email is a document that contains all of their demands.
Regards,
Xu Huifen
Xu Inc. Attorney
[Kakaotalk messages between Choi Seungcheol and Xu Minghao]
[seung1]
so remember when i told you
about keeping quiet
[china2]
did something happen?
[seung1]
well
your dad is sent us an email
saying that theyll sue us if we dont return you
jihoon and soonyoung read it
and will ask me about it
and its one of the bylaws of our handbook to be transparent about these things
so we’ll have to announce it to the groupchat
[china2]
oh
[seung1]
sorry about it bud
but u have to tell me what happened
as much as i dont want to ask
theyre suing us if you dont go back
i dont want to do this
[china2]
hyung im so sorry
i didnt mean for all of this to happen
[seung1]
minghao
its okay.
take a deep breath. dont panic, okay?
[china2]
i just dont want to be part of xu inc
i just dont want this anymore
i hated the life there
svt inc
this entire thing was more of a family to me than that company ever was
[seung1]
im so sorry to hear that
but
minghao
running away from your problems isn’t the answer
[china2]
i know
i’m sorry for being a coward hyung
[seung1]
when did i call you a coward minghao?
you’re not a coward
i mean its understandable that you felt the need to do this
that you needed time to for yourself
i understand that
considering how xu inc is literally the biggest company to ever company in china
but the important thing to ask now is
you did what you felt like you needed to do
now you’re facing the consequences of those actions
what you did isn’t important right now,
what’s important to ask is
what’s your next course of action?
[china2]
i dont know
i just want to keep living here
and do animation here
[seung1]
well,
there you have it
we’d also love to keep having you here
but the next thing you do will ultimately be your decision
[china2]
i
can you give me some time?
you can tell the others
but can you give me time to think about my plan of action?
[seung1]
i can give you two weeks at most
mostly because thats the deadline your father gave us
jesus christ is he scary
[china2]
i know
[Kakaotalk messages in the group “the og ot3" with the members: seung1, brightest star, owoozi]
[brightest star]
haha someone tell me the xu inc email is a prank
whos pranking us right now
[owoozi]
also if this is indeed a prank its not a funny one
[brightest star]
its kinda funny if its a prank
but i will only laugh after i confirm its a prank
[owoozi]
i bet its bumzu
hes still angry i didnt follow him to pledis
[brightest star]
nah man i have my bet on that guy seungcheol turned down
[owoozi]
oh yeah he was kinda
ummmm
fucking insane
but nah i bet its bumzu
[seung1]
well
i’m sorry to break it to you guys but it’s not a prank
[owoozi]
ohhh did you do it seungcheol?
[brightest star]
is this because we both tricked you into thinking february 30 was a real date……
[seung1]
guys i’m serious
we really are getting sued
[brightest star]
but xu inc doesnt exist in korea
[seung1]
keyword korea
look them up
[owoozi]
……..
choi seungcheol why is xu inc, the largest corporation in china, suing us for lawful imprisonment and kidnapping
[seung1]
well
now you guys have to look up xu minghao
[owoozi]
KWON SOONYOUNG WHY DIDNT YOU KNOW THAT XU MINGHAO IS THE HEIR TO XU INC
[brightest star]
ok in MY DEFENSE
i met xu minghao at a club in gangnam and he seemed like he knew how to animate
[owoozi]
KWON SOONYOUNG ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU DIDN’T DO A BACKGROUND CHECK
[brightest star]
IT WAS BEFORE WE HAD AN HR DEPARTMENT OKAY
[owoozi]
oh MY GOD
i will STRANGLE YOU
[seung1]
hold on before we resort to violence
it’s all somewhat a tiny bit of our fault for not checking. like thats the reason why we have three bosses. for accountability
[owoozi]
eughr hate to admit it but youre right
[brightest star]
well what are we gonna do now?
[seung1]
i already to talked to minghao
and he’s still going to decide what he’ll do next
so the most we can do right now is
just tell the others and hope minghao will pull through
[owoozi]
well judging by how much money theyre asking of us, we have to pray for a miracle
it was nice working with all of you for these short five years
do you guys have any plan b
i think bumzu still needs another producer
[brightest star]
can you ask him if he needs any choreographers i think my dance minor can finally come in handy
[owoozi]
i’ll ask
[seung1]
CAN YOU GUYS STOP BEING PESSIMISTIC
SVT INC ISNT GOING AWAY
[owoozi]
yet
[brightest star]
yet
[seung1]
IT WONT
have faith in minghao
[owoozi]
fine but you have to be the one who’ll break the news to the others
[brightest star]
seconded
[seung1]
…
i hate you guys and i wish we go bankrupt
[Kakaotalk messages between Xu Minghao and Wen Junhui]

[china2]
i’m sorry for only giving you pain
[china1]
you’ve given me other things too
[china2]
i didn’t want pain to be one of them
[china1]
i know
it’s okay
[china2]
i know it’s difficult to love someone like me
it’s rotten work
[china1]
not if it’s you
it’s painful
but it’s never rotten

it can never be
i want you to know that
i need you to know that
[china1]
minghao?

[seung2]
ok before this goes any further i would like everyone to know that i didnt commit any copyright violations
[angel]
thats what someone who committed a copyright violation would say
[seung1]
don’t worry
it’s not a cease and desist
it’s a case against svt inc for unlawful imprisonment and kidnapping
[hansol]
nice try hyung
the prank would work if the case wasnt so out of reach
is this because we tricked you into believing i was american royalty
[seung1]
as much as i would love this to be a prank
it’s not really a prank
[gyu to the three]
who would we even kidnap??? we’re just thirteen men vibing???
[shua]

well
new things are scary
but it’s the first step
and i know you know it too
[brightest star]
we can help you with it
you just need to tell us
[chanson]
i know
Listen old man,
I know you’re used to getting your way and maybe you even thought of me as your successor but it’s not gonna happen. Maybe I used to say I’ll take over Xu when I was a baby but that was back then. I’m an adult, I know how to make my own choices.
Please stop this.
Stop this foolishness!
You are my child Minghao. No child of Xu will go to backwater companies that can easily fail. Your blood is destined for better and grander things. I shouldn’t have let you befriend that Junhui kid if this is how you’ll act! I remember you being a better and obedient kid before him, Minghao.
Come home and if you do, I could be reasoned with to not completely destroy that company.
NO.
See this is the reason why I can’t stand to be with you anymore dad. You think Junhui is the reason why I hate you now? It’s not. It’s this kind of behavior that made me run away. You think Junhui is the reason I am the way I am now? He’s the reason why I’m still alive, DAD.
When mom died, there was no one for me. You weren’t there for me. I was so alone. You had your company to help you cope with mother dying and I thought it was my fault that you completely disconnected from me. I remember you being a better dad when mom was alive. If it weren’t for Junhui, I would’ve been completely eaten up by the grief that you felt and took out on me unconsciously.
You took away so much of my childhood. Everything I did, I did to make you happy. To make you proud of me. Now that I know I don’t have to make you proud because the only thing that will is your stupid company.
I’m done with. I’m through with it. I don’t want to come back dad. Let Jiahao be the next heir. God knows he’s more your kid than I ever was.
Please don’t bother me and SVT inc ever again. If you do, if you do decide to push through with the lawsuit: don’t forget I am your son, I was part of Xu once. I know your secrets better than anyone else.
Did you really think I didn’t care about you?
Xu Minghao, after everything that I did, you think I don’t see you as my son? I gave away all of my free time with you so that I can provide you with a better life. I brought Xu from mediocrity to the giant it is now in order to provide you with a life that I felt you deserve to live after your mother died and you think I don’t care about you? After all the sacrifices I gave you? After I made XU the rich company it is now? The thanks I receive is you blackmailing me?
I didn’t ask for any of this. I didn’t ask for you to make Xu richer or bigger. I didn’t need a business man when mom died. I needed my father the most.
Now I’m asking for you to leave me alone. That’s the thing that you did best the most, wasn’t it?
[Kakaotalk messages between Wen Junhui and Xu Minghao]

are you okay?

Daily News
XU INC: XU Jiahao named next CEO of XU
IN a surprising twist, XU Inc. has announced Xu Jiahao to be the next CEO of Xu in a presscon held this morning. Xu Zhihao has announced his retirement within the last month of the year in order to focus on his philanthropy work, leaving his nephew Xu Jiahao to be the next CEO. Xu Minghao, the sole son of Xu Zhihao, was not part of the presscon nor was even mentioned once. We reached out to XU Inc. for a comment about Minghao but has not replied for a response at the time of when this article was posted.
NEXT: Xu Minghao spotted in the streets of Hongdae, South Korea?

i’m free
we’re not gonna be bothered by my father anymore
but why am i so
sad
[china1]
minghao
that’s fine
it’s fine to be sad over the severed connection between you and your dad
you spent a good deal of time with him
trying to gain his affection
but that’s the thing
he’s your father
you shouldn’t have had to beg for a scrap of his love
[china2]
youre right
he’s an asshole
i hate how i feel so sad about this oh my god
i hate how i’ll see his last name every time i do something
i hate this so much i hate it i hate it i hate it
[china1]
you can take my last name if you want
[china2]
wen junhui
you are not proposing to me over text while i’m ugly crying on our apartment complex’s rooftop
[china1]
I’M NOT NECESSARILY PROPOSING TO YOU
(unless if u dont hate it)
but
im your family too
svt inc is your family too
we’re here for you, you know?
this is your father’s loss not him
he shouldn’t have gone this far to disowning you
when the reason why he’s your father wasnt because he needed someone to take over xu inc
but because your he’s son
i’m sorry i just
i hate him so much for all the hurt he caused you
[china2]
i know
come up here
i need a hug

[Kakaotalk messages between Choi Seungcheol and Xu Minghao]
[seung1]
hey so uh
mind telling me why
a xu zhihao sent us 100,000,000,00 KRW?
like svt inc
[china2]
um
what
[seung1]
dude
i just received a notification from the bank we use
bro….. i had a heart attack
[china2]
i have to check something wait.
[E-mail retrieved from Xu Minghao’s spam folder sent a few days after announcement of the new XU heir]
It took me some time to reflect. You have to forgive your father, sometimes I forget that this isn’t the past anymore and that you are an adult. I suppose not being with you much has still made my mind feel like you are still a child and that’s why I get protective.
I’m sorry Minghao. For everything.
Sometimes I look at your mother’s altar and wish she was still here. I wonder how things would end up if she was still her. I suspect we’ll be much happier and not like the way that we are right now. I remember when you were first born and I had you in my arms. She was quick to tell me off that I was smothering you instead of holding you properly. I think that’s still applicable. I’m not a perfect father, I recognize this. I thought leaving you to your own devices with money was the way to raise you. I want you to know that this time, I’m not trying to buy your love with money that I sent towards your company. It’s merely reparations for the hurt I’ve caused you and the company you are working in.
Minghao, you are my only son. I want to know that whatever you make of yourself, I will always be proud of you.
You are no longer tied to the XU company, however you will always have a place in my family’s dining table. Junhui too.
minghao
@xuminghao_o
i feel numb.

[seung1]

[china2]
i mean it’s okay
with me
because it was given to you
[china2]
i just dont know what he’s doing
and he sent me an email saying he’s proud of me
and i just feel
[seung1]
minghao
it’s okay to feel conflicting feelings
[china2]
all i wanted was for him to be proud of me
but this just feels empty
[seung1]
will you be okay?
[china2]
i think so
i just need a few days to process this
but everything’s okay
i’m not xu heir anymore so theres that
[seung1]
minghao
if you want us to return the money
just say the word and we’ll send it back
[china2]

- If everyone wants he can’t adapt it for the screen.

i’ve been out of that since three years ago
[hansol]
seungkwan….
:---[
where are you?
[seung2]
i told jihoon i was going to take my lunch break but
truthfully?
hiding in the men’s cr hoping no one comes in while i cry my eyes out
my mom’s been calling my phone hourly and i still don’t want to pick up
i dont want them to be disappointed in me
[hansol]
seungkwan :---[
stay put i’m coming
and we’ll get lunch together
and then focus on this later
right now let’s
let’s just focus on eating
they didn’t know for three years
no harm in not letting them know for another day
[seung2]
okay yeah
sure
i just didn’t think this day would come
i mean i knew it would
i just didn’t want it to come
[Post-its shared between Yoon Jeonghan and Lee Jihoon]
when are you telling him
what do you mean? get back to work.
puhlease i'm on my lunch break
since when? you always take your lunch with joshua and cheol
since now duh
but back to the matter at hand. when will you tell him?
tell who what?
seokmin duh when will you tell him you like him
firstly i'm working and secondly what makes you think i like him?
Jihoon.
FINE YEAH I LIKE HIM. but i won't ever tell him.
jihoon.
jeonghan i'm not gonna hurt myself if i can have friendship. i'd rather us be friends forever than actually date and then break up. i value seokmin too much to add him to my (short) list of exes.
jihoon you do know that's a risk you have to take in every relationship, right?
i know.
i'm just a coward.
i’ll treat you to soju later
my treat for making you sad
did you ask about this because you wanted to drink later but had no one to drink with
JEONGHAN ANSWER ME
[2:11 hour phone call between Boo Seungkwan and his mother]

it’s done
[hansol]
!!!
do you need me to come to you?
i can get out of the house
[seung2]
no it’s far too late
[hansol]
id still be willing you know
[seung2]
i know
thank you for being by my side hansol
i love you so much you know that?
[hansol]
seungkwan
i love you too
but this is making me concerned
what happened?
[seung2]
it didn’t go wrong if that what you’re saying
i just feel
the vaguest sense of shame
that i kept it this long from my parents
my mom is sad that i did this
but she’s okay now
as long as i’m happy, she said
as long as i’m doing something with my life, she said
[hansol]
seungkwan
are you sure you don’t need anyone right now?
it doesn’t have to be me
i can call joshua if you want
[seung2]
no no
it’s okay
i’m not like
my relationship with my family isn’t like full on destroyed
but like it is strained now
why was i scared?
they didn’t see me any different
they were just sad that i felt like i didn’t trust them enough
[hansol]
seungkwan
while i can’t say that you did the right thing
it makes sense to be scared about telling people you care about that something you used to like isn’t what you want to do anymore
[seung2]
from experience?
[hansol]
from experience
i told my dad i’d become an artist like him
failed all the art schools i applied to
and i didn’t tell him until it was time for the first semester to start
needless to say he was really shocked
[seung2]
heh
that sounds like you
[hansol]
it does
but it was also not the smartest decision i’ve made
and my relationship with my dad is a bit rocky right now
but we’re working towards a better one now
[hansol]
they’re your family seungkwan
they love you still
[seung2]
i know that
[seung2]
are you still okay with meeting me right now?
[hansol]
just say the word

oh no…
i don’t want to compromise if we can have the real thing

[kitela]
oppa
[shua]
kyla!
[kitela]
so
um
i thought about it
and well
[shua]
yes?
[kitela]
some time ago
i met a man
probably years younger than vernon oppa
but he was clearly troubled by something
and that was by the han river
so of course i was worried right
and i talked to him
because i don’t want him to die
even if i didn’t know him
and i kept thinking about it
that guy wasn’t
he wasn’t
he probably wasn’t getting mass emails and tweets about he should just die
he just wanted to die because of his family
but he also didn’t want to die because he had friends he wanted to stick around with
that’s what he told me
that’s the first time i saw someone older than me cry like that
[shua]
oh no,
kyla are you okay?
[kitela]
yeah i am
i’m more worried about the other guy!
but i guess
that’s when i realized that
it’s easy
so easy to hate on someone even if you don’t know about them
but it’s also extremely easy to care about someone even if you don’t know anything about them
i don’t even know his name
but in the end we went to a convenience store to warm up
and then he told me he was feeling better about everything
but he was still shaking
so i asked if he was really feeling okay
he told me that he wasn’t
but he also told me it was so silly of him to try and throw away everything
when he still had his friends looking out for him
when people still cared about him
he gave me money to call for a taxi but i made sure his friend got him before i left
i guess what i’m getting at was
[kitela]
he’s right
i think it’s also silly of me to throw this away all because of a few mean people
i have people who want me to act
so
i guess what i’m getting at is
if you’ll have me
[shua]
kyla,
we’ll be more than happy to have you

[Nayoung, age 33, steps out of a well-worn car. She’s newly divorced, stressed from the moving she’s doing but still manages to look as professional as she can. She goes to the back of the car to gather their luggage as her daughter; Solhee, age 16, your typical teenager but perhaps a little bit withdrawn, also steps out of the car.
Solhee frowns as she looks at their new house. Her shoulders hunch down as the reality of her situation sinks in.]
NAYOUNG
Solhee-ah!
[Solhee doesn’t hear her mother call her name. She’s too engrossed with looking at her new house; still unbelieving that she really left her home.]
NAYOUNG
Solhee-ah!
If you don’t get here and help your frail mom carry your stuff,
I won’t order your favorite chicken later!
[This breaks Solhee out of her stupor. She laughs to herself before going back to help her mother.]
SOLHEE
I don’t think you’d be able to do that to yourself mom.
Y’know, since it’s also your favorite too.
[Nayoung rolls her eyes and ruffles her daughter’s hair before she goes and carries one of the boxes. Solhee follows suit and carries a box, walking in step with her mother.]
NAYOUNG
Yah!
Where was the young and precious Solhee I raised in the past?
[Solhee rolls her eyes fondly and they walk to the house with their luggage, still teasing each other as they do.]

[gyu to the three]

[woo woo]
I know right….
ITS SO WEIRD TO SEE KYLA MASSIE ACTING OUT MY WRITING
[gyu to the three]
I KNOW I ALWAYS SEE HER ON SCREEN WHEN YOU WATCH THOSE DETECTIVE DRAMAS
and it doesn’t make it better when hao and sol are taking their jobs so seriously ;_;
[woo woo]
she’s such a good actor
and i honestly think this is the longest seungkwan and soonyoung has been without being loud
I knew minghao could be scary but
I didn’t know hansol can be too…

[Solhee’s belongings are going missing at school. First it started with the pink pencil case her father gave her, and it escalated to her shoes, and the next thing she knows her books have been thrown away.]
SUNGYEON
She’s losing her stuff like her mom losing her husband!
How disgraceful!
SIYEON
Well, you know what they say:
the apple doesn’t really fall far from the tree!
[Solhee balls her fists up tightly. She badly wants to punch these girls in the face but Yehana stops her. Solhee takes a deep breath, if she gets in trouble one more time because of these girls—her mother would be disappointed.]

[Nayoung comes into the teacher’s lounge looking frazzled as ever. She only just got off the worst legal meeting she’s ever had only to be greeted by a text message from Solhee’s homeroom teacher that she needed to talk to her concerning her daughter. Needless to say, Nayoung is both worried and angry.]
NAYOUNG
Jieqiong-ssi?
[Jieqiong looks up from her desk to see Solhee’s mother looking for her. She stops whatever work she’s doing and stands up to make her way over to Nayoung.]
JIEQIONG
Nayoung-ssi!
So glad to meet you—
[Whatever Jieqiong is saying, Nayoung doesn’t hear. She’s distracted by Jieqiong’s extraordinary beauty to the point that Nayoung’s starting to think that it would be okay if her daughter would commit more offenses if that meant she could see her teacher every day. Nayoung slightly shakes her head though, obviously her daughter’s future and values comes first though.]
JIEQIONG
See, I’m worried about your daughter’s behaviors
[This snaps Nayoung out of her thoughts. She looks at Jieqiong confused.]
JIEQIONG
What? What do you mean?
Solhee is the kindest and quietest girl I know!

[Siyeon looks like she doesn’t want to be anywhere near Solhee’s house, much less be actually in Solhee’s bedroom but she has to suck it up if she wants to have a good grade. Solhee sighs, it’s so hard to be a good host to a hostile guest.]
SOLHEE
What should we name our egg?
SIYEON
Huh?
SOLHEE
You know? Our egg baby?
Babies have names you know.
I feel like seonsangnim would give us more points if we named her something cute.
SIYEON
What makes you think our baby is a girl?
SOLHEE
Um, it’s literally written in the birth chart given to us.
All she’s missing is her name.
SIYEON
Oh.

[Siyeon gently puts their baby egg aptly named Prestine on their makeshift nest. She coos as she does so, treating the egg like an actual baby. Solhee is totally surprised by the sudden change. She wasn’t aware that the queen bee of the school can act so gentle. She wonders internally where that was when the other taunted her with words that cut deep like knife.]
SOLHEE
You got a soft spot for babies then?
[Siyeon turns around, almost giving herself whiplash. She’s clearly surprised and embarrassed as if she forgot Solhee was standing behind her.]
SIYEON
Don’t tell anyone at school.
SOLHEE
Who’ll even believe me?
[Siyeon still looks uncomfortable. She stares at Solhee with such intense eyes that the other girl almost averts her gaze.]
SIYEON
I’m serious Solhee.
No one can know I can be like this.
SOLHEE
Where did you even learn how to treat a baby like that?
[Siyeon looks even more uncomfortable. Solhee looks like she’s about to jump into a new topic because even if she enjoyed watching the other girl suffer, she’s… gained somewhat of a truce with her. However, Siyeon decides to answer.]
SIYEON
My dad used to treat my little sister like that.
SOLHEE
Used to?
SIYEON
I don’t know where he is.
SOLHEE
Oh.
[The atmosphere in the air is so thick that one can cut it like a very dense cheesecake. Siyeon averts her gaze from Solhee. She doesn’t know if it’s in guilt or if it’s in shame. Solhee should be angry right now but she can’t find the energy to do so. She’s just oh so very tired and so very sad. Instead, she sits beside Siyeon, not looking at the other girl but at their baby egg. Prestine, despite being an inanimate object, sleeps peacefully.]
SOLHEE
Dad’s are the worst, aren’t they?
[Siyeon forces out a laugh. If she wipes away a few tears or if her nose looks redder than usual then Solhee doesn’t pay any mind to it.]
SIYEON
More like the world is the worst.
Solhee…
We’re just kids.
[Solhee hums and stares at their baby egg.]
SOLHEE
Then we’ll just have to strive to not make the same mistakes as our parents
And we can start with Prestine.
[Solhee and Siyeon look at their baby egg sleeping soundly, unaware of what’s happening. Solhee takes Siyeon’s hand and squeezes it. In that instance Solhee forgives Siyeon even though Siyeon can’t forgive herself yet.]

[Siyeon looks at Solhee angry. Both of her fists are closed tightly as she blinks away the tears.]
SIYEON
Well, you’d know all about being a good girl don’t you Solhee?
Just because you’re already used to your father being out of your life, doesn’t mean I am too!
[Solhee slaps Siyeon, something she’s always thought she’d never have the attitude for. But there was just something about what Siyeon said that made Solhee finally snap. SIyeon looks surprised and touches her cheek not expecting Solhee standing up for herself.]
SOLHEE
What on earth is wrong with you?
I’m here to help you! To be a crying shoulder you can rely on or whatever the hell I thought I was.
I thought we were over this Siyeon!
I thought we were friends but you come to my home and just destroy everything?
[Solhee is crying right now, her entire frame trembles with sobs and anger. She only looks at the floor, not daring to meet Siyeon’s eyes. Their baby egg has been thrown to the ground. Siyeon has an expression that’s crossing the line between regret and shame. Finally, Solhee looks at Siyeon and the camera is able to see her expression, one of absolute grief.]
SOLHEE
Siyeon, I thought we were friends.
[Nayoung suddenly enters her living room looking haggard. Siyeon and Solhee look up at her, the both of them sporting a guilty expression. All around them are pieces of fabric thrown around each other. Nayoung blinks at both of them.]
NAYOUNG
Is everything all right here?
[Before Solhee can reply to her mother, Siyeon takes her stuff and storms out of their house. Solhee watches Siyeon go out before finally picking up Prestine from the floor. Thankfully, she didn’t crack under the pressure of everything that happened. Despite all of her sobs, she thinks it’s funny how she also ends up being a single parent to a child.]

[yeehawna]
NO FAIR!!!!
i wanted tteokbokki too :---(
[no 1 bae]
thats awfully kind of them!
[kitela]
RIGHT
i think its because hansol oppa got guilty when he saw us cry so much for the scene
he has a younger sister i think
[xylophone]
i think
that if we play our cards right
we’d be able to get them to treat us high quality korean beef after filming
i mean theyre gonna treat us even if we dont coerce them because post filming parties but
we can possibly get them to treat us
high quality korean beef
[yeehawna]
omg…
are we going to use our Dongsaeng Status to coerce our unnies and oppas for free meat

im all for that

i thought i was on the path to healing
[brightest star]
you are
[chanson]
then why do i feel like shit right now
my therapist tells me to find validation from myself and not from… them
but i still feel so bad
[brightest star]
chan.
healing isn’t a linear process.
some days you take two steps forward
other days you take three steps backward
you can’t
[brightest star]
you can’t control the rate at which you feel better about yourself
sometimes it’s hard
and that’s because your brain needs time to unlearn and deal with the years of trauma you went through
[brightest star]
do you need someone right now?
[chanson]
i don’t want to be a bother
[brightest star]
chan, you’re my friend.
you’re never a bother to me.

i just wanted to be enough for them.

[Nayoung sits silently with Jieqiong beside her. The bar they accidentally met is somewhat awkward. Just a few moments ago the two of them were laughing. Yet once Solhee was brought up all the reasons why Nayoung is here pops up and she can’t control the bad feelings bubbling inside her chest. She puts down the glass of whiskey she was drinking and turns to look at Jieqiong.]
NAYOUNG
Jieqiong…
Do you think I’m a bad mother?
[Jieqiong is surprised by this. She looks confused.]
JIEQIONG
What made you ask this question?
[Nayoung takes a moment and sighs. She turns her attention back to her drink and puts it down.]
NAYOUNG
Some days, I think my husband is right. That I shouldn’t have divorced him.
I mean, god knows I don’t love him but…
Would Solhee have had a much more normal environment if I stayed?
Does she resent me for divorcing her father?
Does she regret staying with me instead of him?
I...
[Nayoung trails off and shakes her head. She looks at Jieqiong straight in the eyes again.]
NAYOUNG
Solhee and I used to be close.
We would tell each other everything, cook together when we had time, go out together during the weekends…
I know she needs time to adjust to this new life, I know this. I’m also adjusting too.
But whenever I arrive late at home and check her room to see her sleeping.
To see tears staining her pillows…
[Nayoung’s voice trembles and chuckles darkly before taking a sip of her drink.]
NAYOUNG
She used to tell me everything.
Now I fear that she doesn’t even recognize the woman her mother became.

did you guys receive your notes for your team
whew remember when i said that we don’t have to do anything
somehow i repressed from my memory the time during the meeting where we said we were gonna animate the egg
[seung1]
same
somehow i forgot that making a movie entails editing
so i was really surprised when hansol gave me a storyboard and a script with a lot of notes
[owoozi]
i had to kick out hansol from my studio because he was messing around with my tools too much
like chill kid i went to school for this i can make the music you want me to make and time it to the emotional cues you want the audience to feel
don’t worry
[brightest star]
oh my god cgi x editing x music collaboration once again
how long has it since we’ve last worked together on a project again
[seung1]
oh my god…

i think that shitty thesis film we had to help someone with
[owoozi]
five years ago
a year after that we started svt inc
right after we graduated
[brightest star]
and now we’re here.
making the movie we dreamed of
the movie we told ourselves we’d make even though we had no clue what it would be
[seung1]
i’m really proud of us guys
i’m happy to know you guys
i feel like i might be the luckiest guy on earth
to make a film with the friends i’ve known in what feels like all my life
[owoozi]

[Solhee looks like she’s on the verge of tears. She was used to getting this kind of treatment from bullies like Siyeon and the other nasty kids from other classrooms. What she never expected is a literal substitute teacher to single her out like this.]
SUBSTITUTE TEACHER
Well?
Don’t you have anything to say?
Where’s your father?
Why did you write about your mother when I said to write about your father?
[Everyone is deathly silent. Not a single student in the class says anything. Solhee is now freely crying.]
SOLHEE
M-my mother divorced my father so--
SUBSTITUTE TEACHER
Don’t use that excuse!
Don’t blame you being unable to properly do your assignment
on a mother who doesn’t know how to be a wife!
[The atmosphere is thick. Especially considering the fact that almost everyone in that room was a girl barring the actual teacher. All of a sudden, Siyeon stands up from her chair, glaring defiantly at the teacher.]
SIYEON
Hey! Don’t pick on Solhee like that even if you’re a teacher!
[The substitute teacher looks shocked before regaining his footing.]
SUBSTITUTE TEACHER
Why I’d never!
SIYEON
You hear what I said!
Solhee is the kindest girl I’ve ever met,
And her mother is a better person than you’ll ever be!
So what if Solhee doesn’t have a father?
So what if Solhee doesn’t have a dad?
It’s not her or her mom’s fault that her dad doesn’t want to be invested in her life!
It’s the father’s fault too!
[Siyeon breathes heavily. Sungyeon looks at Siyeon as if she’s grown another head. The classroom once goes deathly silent. Before the teacher regains his footing, Yewon stands up from her chair.]
YEWON
If my grandmother didn’t leave her husband when she did,
my father wouldn’t be alive right now!
[Sungyeon, surprisingly, also stands up too.]
SUNGYEON
My auntie would’ve died if she didn’t leave her husband too!
[Slowly by slowly, the rest of the girls in the classroom stand up from their chairs to give out their own anecdotes. All of the girls stand in solidarity for Solhee. Siyeon discretely looks at Solhee and gives her a small hesitant smile that Solhee would’ve written off as her imagination if it weren’t for the fact that she knew better.
Siyeon was Solhee’s friend after all.]

DAYS TILL DEADLINE: 100 days
[Solhee can be seen writing in her diary. The sun is brightly shining. In the corner of her bedroom a small cage filled with straw can be seen.]
SOLHEE [voice over]
A lot of things have happened over the past year.
Jieqiong-ssi finally came back and replaced that substitute teacher.
Seeing her chase him out of the room probably was the funniest part of my year!
[A shot of Jieqiong chasing out the substitute teacher with a broom. Jieqiong looks quite annoyed as she finally chases him out of the room and into the hallway. The rest of the class looks on from the window while trying to not laugh. Jieqiong whips her head and looks at her class who right away changed their smiles into an expression of nervousness. Jieqiong smiles at them and enters the class to begin the school day.]
SOLHEE [voice over]
But I guess the weirdest part of the year was the realization that Jieqiong-ssi…
Might become my new mom?
I don’t even know anymore.
[A shot of Solhee going to their kitchen in the dead of the night to get some water. However as she comes to the kitchen, she notices the light is open. Peering inside, she sees Nayoung and Jieqiong far too close to each other. Solhee rolls her eyes and leaves, deciding their privacy is more important than her water.]
SOLHEE [voice over]
I think the best thing to happen this year is the fact that
Me and Siyeon are friends again!
That’s something I never really saw coming.
Becoming friends with Siyeon means me becoming friends with Sungyeon and her becoming friends with Yewon too.
It’s not all smiles all the time, especially considering how we were before but.
We make it work.
[A shot of the four of them walking to the cafeteria. Solhee and Siyeon are together on the left side while Yewon and Sungyeon are together on the right side. Yewon slowly stops and looks at the flowers, in her own world. Sungyeon looks as if she’s been burdened by this small moment of stillness while Solhee looks at Sungyeon closely. After a moment, Sungyeon finally walks up to Yewon and tells her to take her phone out. Yewon complies and gives Sungyeon her phone. After a few moments, a full blown photoshoot is happening with Yewon and the flowers being Sungyeon’s models. They never quite make it to the cafeteria and instead stay there in an impromptu picnic.]
SOLHEE (voice over)
Remember the egg project?
Well me and Siyeon actually got a perfect grade on it!
What more is that Prestine actually hatched!
[The shot goes back to Solhee in her room. She looks at the cage where a small baby chick is sleeping peacefully. She goes back to writing in her diary.]
SOLHEE (voice over)
I guess what I’m getting at is that…
Maybe things are looking up.
[Solhee closes her diary and stretches. After a few moments she goes to the cage and takes out Prestine who awoke while she was writing her diary.]
SOLHEE
Isn’t that right, Prestine?
[She leaves the room, Prestine still in her hand. The day is sunny and there are far more better things to do than stay cooped up in her home.]

Actually, now that we’re here. Can you help me with something? Normally I’d be able to do this alone and by myself but I’m thinking of putting a bassline in Solhee’s main theme however I just don’t know how to approach it. I’m not sure if thematically it’ll even work because the bass is supposed to be support but I guess… There’s just something missing if I don’t put it. See attached files for more information. Those are preliminary drafts I came up with, the first one doesn’t have bass while the second one does.
Appreciate your thoughts on this.

you’re no fun.
well, i’m assuming that solhee’s theme is the first theme that we use to introduce her in the movie right? actually i think the files with or without the bass doesn’t really make a huge difference? sure there’s like that nice feeling of extra support (??) but at the same time it’s not that big that it feels off to me in particular. since solhee’s first theme is like The Theme that basically tells us what she’s feeling at this moment, i think it would be better if you just take out the drums. i feel like without the drums… the theme won’t be that organized thus really making me feel that there’s no support.

From: [email protected]
Subject: Distribution Rights for How To Raise a Baby Egg
Attached: terms.doc (103KB)
To whom it may concern:
We have been alerted of a new film project that your company has decided to embark on as an independent entity. XU Inc. has had plans of expanding in an area such as films numerous times in the past however we have never really found the right project to invest our power into. We also know that this is SVT Inc.’s, despite being a known company for outsource, first time undertaking the task of making an independent film. As such we understand that your company does not have the proper resources in distributing the film. This is where XU Inc. comes in. We understand that both of our companies have had bad blood in the past but we implore you to let bygones be bygones. This is a good opportunity for both of our companies. Attached are files that hold more information on our offer.

can you to come to my office real quick?
[china2]
am i getting fired?
[seung1]
nah you were hired by soonyoung so only he and hr can fire you
this is something different
but Important still
Did you force anyone from Xu to send that email?
I do not know what you are talking about.
Don’t play stupid with me. Xu INC. sent a message to us about distribution rights on our film.
You made a film? I did not even know that’s what you did with the money. Ever since I stepped down, it’s solely been Jiahao who manages all affairs. I do advise you to accept that offer from XU though. That’s an offer other film companies would kill for.
I don't believe you.
Minghao. I did everything you asked me to do. I am leaving you alone like you asked me despite my desire to see my only son continue my family line. Is it really too much to believe that XU (in this case Jiahao) is interested in your film?
[Kakaotalk messages in the group “the og ot3" with the members: seung1, brightest star, owoozi]

god did you know xu is starting to expand to korea?

[brightest star]
i knoowww
some of the noodles i buy also has xu inc printed on it some way or another
jesus christ minghao’s family is scary
[seung1]
minghao told me he’d be okay with any course of action we want
[owoozi]
this isn’t any nefarious plan on taking over svt and get minghao away?
[brightest star]
if it’s that let it be known i’m ready to buy a ticket to china with the money he gave us to beat up an old man
[seung1]
no
also soonyoung please don’t say things like that that’s really incriminating
[brightest star]
sorry hyung
what about the offer then?
[seung1]
minghao told us we should accept it
it came from his cousin and not his father
so it’s a bit safer
[owoozi]
because he doesn’t want the son to come back and take his place as ceo
[brightest star]
that’s kinda……..
still hrmmm
[seung1]
well he does have like a vested interest in keeping minghao away
so minghao isn’t that worried
[brightest star]
so we’ll accept?
[owoozi]
i think that’s the best course of action right now.
especially since we want to get enough money to break even
and for our film to reach a wide audience
[seung1]
that’s what minghao said too
[brightest star]
i’ll read over the email they sent
and i’ll draft the email we’ll send too

i have to.
[seoknotmean]
are you cooped up in the studio?
hyung this is why you have the rest of us
why you hired us
not even the music department
but also seungcheol and soonyoung hyung
[owoozi]
i need to do this on my own.
[seoknotmean]
you don’t.
that’s your sacrificial and fatalist side talking.
[owoozi]
you don’t know me as well as you think.
[seoknotmean]
i know enough that this isn’t good for you.
i’m coming over
this is not healthy.

i do not want to talk about what had happened over the five days i went missing.
i do not want to talk about it in real life where you guys will overreact and smother me with affection.
therefore i will talk about it now
in this gc where everyone is not on because it is a workhour.
the basic gist is that i have felt the pressure too fast and that
i did not want to share any of the burden.
seokmin broke in my studio.
some screaming matches were done.
he took me out of the studio and fed me and forced me to sleep.
once i woke up, the track was done.
[owoozi]
i apologize for the… worry that i have caused.

i think it’s funny that you think this will stop us from smothering you in affection.
we’re talking about this in real life whether you like it or not.

[Memo attached to the general memo board]
Greetings!
We are pleased to inform you that we have reached the deadline of How To Raise a Baby Egg on time! All edits, music and animation are done and now we begin the process of sending them out to film festivals. For transparency sake, we have attached where we (HR + Jeon Wonwoo) have decided to send the film for submission. As per decided by our contract with XU Inc., they will be our main distributor of our film to mainstream audiences. Once again as per decided by our contract, they have no creative control over our film therefore do not worry about any cuts that XU Inc. would want to possibly do.
Fighting!!!
HR Department
[Memo neatly attached beneath the other memo]
Film Festivals HR and Jeon Wonwoo submitted How To Raise a Baby Egg for consideration:
- Cannes Film Festival
- Toronto International Film Festival
- Busan International Film Festival
- Seoul Independent Film Festival
- Korea Queer Film Festival
i think the most surprising thing to come out of this whole film making thing is the fact that our hr department knows how to do film stuff
hey??!!!! you think we’re gonna hire some randos off the street?? me cheol and jihoon have more standards than that!
[An online blog post made by Lee Chan]
the movie is done and i have admittedly put off this homework my therapist suggested me to do. she told me one of the things i lack in life is a healthy outlet for the things i am feeling. she told me to write in a journal but i think if i write in a journal i’ll forget about it in a few days. besides i’m an it major, the internet is my home my space and writing diaries are for chumps.
where do i begin? how do i begin? i don’t know if i feel comfortable divulging the secrets of my ~Trauma~ but at the same time i am only here because i don’t know how to handle this. i don’t know how to be open. all my life my parents taught me to repress to contain to not feel anything. in an environment where i have to express myself in order to go to heal… that’s hard. that’s really hard.
but i am not the kind of person i was a year before. i am the lee chan of today, looking towards the future with high hopes. i am the lee chan who survived and will no longer survive but rather live life as i wish. i still love doing it, i still love computers, that’s one thing that will never change. but i think the biggest change that happened was i have friends who genuinely care for me. who wants to be there for me.
i don’t have to be alone anymore.

KOREAN FILM GRACES THE THEATER OF CANNES
Earlier this year, Cannes Film Festival has announced that one of the films to be shown in the prestiged festival will be a film coming from a Korean film company. How To Raise a Baby Egg is the first film produced and released by SVT Inc and the first film to be vouched by XU Inc. This top secret project starred Kyla Massie in the lead role and rookie actress Park Siyeon.
Last week, the festival officially started. Kyla Massie attended the festival in a stunning coral pink gown made by Minju Kim. The film’s directors Chwe Hansol and Xu Minghao (to the surprise of everyone following the Xu Incident and Conspiracies) attended alongside her.
Notably, this is the first public appearance made by Xu Minghao ever since his disappearance three years ago.

daebak…. kyla looks so pretty here!!! i always knew she was a good actress! cheering on for her!

i cant wait to watch the movie! it must be good if they’re being shown IN CANNES!
[+0, -36]
lol they probably only bought their way in considering a xu is working on the film… like listen? kyla massie a good actress? i’ll believe it if she loses weight
[+30, -0]
all the haters can only bring up kyla’s weight in criticizing her as if that invalidates all the projects she’s been working on. she’s one of the youngest people ever nominated a baeksang art award for best actress… DOESNT ANYONE HERE WATCH TEEN DETECTIVES???
[+10, -0]
OMO…. isn’t that the girl from teen detectives??? i really loved her role there!!! i’ll be sure to catch her when the film is released!
[Excerpts from an interview Xu Zhihao did]
Daily News
XU ZHIHAO DISHES IT ALL!
Kyung-won: So, how’s retired life treating you? Any movies you’ve been watching lately?
Xu Zhihao It’s treating me well. [laughs] I don’t really watch movies, I’ve been more of a podcast kind of guy, you know? However, I recently attended Cannes as a guest of one of my film director friends and was given a chance to watch How To Raise A Baby Egg. It was really good. I implore everyone to watch it when it comes out.
KW: And it’s totally not because your only son directed it and your company is the one distributing it for public view, right?
XZH: [laughs] It’s not like that! I assure you. The only way I’m connected with my company is only by name now. But you got me, I’m proud of my son for making such a touching movie like that!
thanks.
You’re welcome.
I watched the film and it was good. Your mother would’ve been proud. I know it doesn’t mean much to you anymore but I am proud.
there are so many things i still want to say to you. i don’t know if i will find courage in myself once again to say them to you. i am conflicted. you have treated me badly, not being there as i have grown however you are still my father and my only connection to a mother i have never known. as you were cold, there was a time where you were warm and happy. i don’t know if i remember that. i hate that we are a mess and i hate that after all of this we are not dealing with it directly. i know i am still your son, you made yourself clear. however, i don’t know if there will be a time where i will see you more than someone i’m related to by blood, i don’t know if there will ever be a time where i will see you as my actual father.
maybe some things are better to ignore.
i know.
by the way, me and junhui will pop home there in china some time this year. just a heads up.
You two are always welcome in my home.

how to raise a baby egg - blindly shining. a review.
Admittedly when I first heard of the movie I was a bit skeptical. The directors Chwe Hansol and Xu Minghao were unknowns and while I have read some of Jeon Wonwoo’s work (by virtue of going to the same college as him), I was not quite sold on the fact that this could be a good movie. Sure, it made Cannes and it won an award at the Busan International FIlm Festival but they were unknowns. No one knew them, no one heard of them before. SVT Inc. was just a fledgling film company, only dipping their toes into making films after five years of doing outsourced jobs. I was not convinced. The better side of me thought that it was by pure luck that these accolades were given to them, the more cynical side of me thought of Xu and the powers that control almost half of the markets in China.
However, that was not the case.
How To Raise a Baby Egg tells the story of Kim Solhee and Kim Nayoung, a mother and daughter duo that is lost in the world. It’s like all other coming of age movies yet at the same time it is not. Kim Nayoung is a single mother struggling with her status of being divorced from her husband on the account of her discovering she is a lesbian. Kim Solhee is the daughter of Nayoung, a girl struggling with adapting to a new town and the stigma of being the daughter of a single mother. Most of the film is told through the eyes of Solhee and her interactions with the rest of the world, specifically her interactions with Siyeon, her bully.
The film is quite emotionally compelling. It’s thesis that the past should not define you but rather what you do next is something we’ve seen before but never told this way. The movie urges you to not hate on anyone, that everyone acts the way they do due to circumstances. Solhee and Siyeon’s budding friendship has sent me nearly to tears twice over the course of the movie.
Of course, much of the script (a masterful work done by Jeon Wonwoo) won’t be able to shine through if it were not for the stellar acting done by Kyla Massie and Park Siyeon. Kyla having been raised by the industry shows that the reason why she’s survived for this long is the fact that she is a genius at acting. Park Siyeon, despite being a rookie, also steals the film, not letting herself be usurped by Kyla’s strong presence.
Despite coming from a fledgling film company, this is a movie you would not want to miss.
