Chapter 322

The photo shoot took place at the Sangam-dong studio owned by GJ Media.

The photographer in charge of the photo shoot is Eun-ho Jang, a famous photographer who can only be recognized by his name in the fashion world. The makeup and costume team were dispatched from Wester’s headquarters.

When Ellie arrived at the filming location alone and went into the waiting room, the makeup artist and hair designer stuck together and moved their hands frantically.

The makeup artist constantly admired and praised them.

“How. You are really so pretty. My skin is clean, so I think I only need to apply basic makeup, lipstick and eyeshadow.”

“Thank you.”

That being said, I did everything I had to do. After the makeup was done, Ellie, with the help of the costume staff, changed into her rash guard to avoid damaging her makeup and hair.

After a long process, she finally stood in front of the camera.

“Don’t think of it as a photo shoot, make a natural expression.”

If you take pictures for a long time, you can tell whether the person in front of you has talent as a model or not, just by taking one picture.

Again, the moment I pressed the shutter, I felt it.

Eun-ho Jang continued to press the shutter and asked the people who came out of the headquarters in a low voice.

“Is that woman really not a model but an ordinary person?”

“Yes. Today is the first time for a photo shoot.”

“Where the hell did you find this mask?”

“It’s an employee of a business partner I met by chance because of work. The CEO of Bester, Minah Hwang, personally invited me.”

“Are you an employee? Do you have any plans to model in earnest? It’s too precious to do anything else.”

As the tension seemed to have been relieved to some extent, the filming continued while changing the concept in earnest.

“This time, it feels like you’re staring at me!”

“Laugh out loud. Big Smile!”

“Five! I just had a good look. Reach out her hand a little higher with that expression!”

The models in the fashion pictorial are sophisticated and elegant. However, the actual filming went insanely busy. If I took hundreds of photos, I could barely get one or two out of them.

Ellie was constantly in front of the camera in her rash guards, leggings, t-shirts, and outerwear, and she had to tweak her makeup and hairstyle a little bit each time to match her clothes.

As stated in the shooting contract in advance, she didn’t have much exposure, and she posed mainly in active poses befitting of sportswear.

It wasn’t usually hard for her to get her poses and expressions while the camera shutters went off. In addition, the lighting that was shining so hot that the skin was too high.

She thought she was confident in her physical strength, but she said that after a few hours of filming, she was exhausted. She skipped a few meals and she was very hungry.

‘Modeling isn’t something everyone does.’

Ellie said that she was the honor of Golden Gate, and she did her best to shoot her with the determination to leave a pretty picture.

Filming started early in the morning and ended before evening. She’s not quite there, and once she’s checked out the photos she’s taken, she decides whether or not to shoot further.

Ellie put on her sweatpants and waited. Instead of eating, she drank the juice she had prepared beforehand, and she sent a flick to Jin-hoo.

[I think it’s almost over. I’m hungry, so let’s go eat.]

The Korean chaebols grew mainly through manufacturing and construction. However, GJ Group has grown into distribution, service, and media, uniquely.

In particular, it boasted an unrivaled position in the media and entertainment fields. It has 13 cable channels, and its subsidiaries are countless.

It has a film, music, performance, and broadcasting platform, and based on this, it hosts large-scale performances and awards ceremony in Asia every year.

Jinwook Yoo was the head of the entertainment team at GJ Media.

People were lining up in this small land, eager to appear on TV. The position of the general entertainment team leader has the authority to cast any person desired. And he knew how to use that power better than anyone else.

Yoo Jin-wook, who stopped by the studio because he had a schedule even on the weekend, left the work to someone else and looked around leisurely. Meanwhile, he saw a woman sitting on the set.

‘Wow! What is that girl?’

He’s been tired of meeting women until now, and he’s met quite a few foreign women while studying abroad. He also has a couple of girlfriends he is currently dating.

If she’s just a pretty girl like a doll, she’s all over the entertainment industry and agency. But the woman in front of me was something different.

Along with her beauty, her intense vitality exuded, and her intelligence and dignity were felt. She had the overwhelming charm that would make her a top star.

As he gave his instructions, the manager Jung Woo-young, who followed him, immediately recognized the woman as if he was familiar with this kind of thing.

“This is the best advertising model. It is said that she did a photo shoot today.”

“What company?”

“It doesn’t appear to be.”

At that, Jinwook Yoo smiled saying that it was good.

“okay? Then I should introduce you to a good job.”

Large agencies and agencies have strict management of their entertainers. Later on, bad things can happen. However, a powerless small and medium-sized agency or individual could easily cover up a problem even if it occurred.

He naturally approached the foreign model who was sitting and resting.

“Hello, good to see you.”

foreign model… … Ellie raised her head and looked at her opponent.

Age is early 30’s. She is tall and has a pretty face. Her hairstyle was neat and she wore silver-rimmed glasses. She could recognize at a glance that the clothes she was wearing, as well as her shoes and watches, were all her masterpieces.

“Yes. What do you want?”

“Do you have a time for talk with me?”

Before he could hear her answer, he sat down next to her.

Eli asked in Korean.

“Who are you?”

Yoo Jin-wook was half-hearted.

“Ah! You can speak Korean.”

‘If there is a Korean patch, it’s me, thank you.’

He went to study abroad when he was young, but in fact his English was not very good.

“Are you a professional fashion model?”

“no. This is my first time filming.”

“You are new. Ah! I am not a strange person, I am this kind of person.

He pulled out a business card holder from the inside pocket of his suit and held out a business card. Eli took the card and looked at it.

There, along with the title of GJ Media’s general entertainment team leader, was written the name Yoo Jin-wook.

“Chief of the entertainment team?”

“Yes. He is in charge of all the entertainment programs broadcast on the GJ Media Channel, and is mainly responsible for organizing entertainment and recruiting performers.

Although it is close to an honorary position that does not actually do anything, it was also a position where it was easy to put a minor role in a drama or a guest.

“That’s great. To take on such a big job at such a young age.”

“Haha, actually, my father is the chairman of GJ Group. Thanks to this, I grew up learning this job from a young age.”

Ellie recalled the GJ group family tree in her head.

‘Chairman Yoo Byung-moon said he had a youngest son, and it seems to be this person.’

“i See. What’s going on?”

“I was looking for a foreigner suitable for a variety show right now, and I wanted to cast it. Do you know of a program called ‘Street Truck’?”

“I’ve heard it.”

Street Truck is an entertainment program that travels around each region in a foreign food truck and sells Korean food to foreigners.

It may not sound like much, but it has exploded in popularity. Season 1 has been successfully completed, and season 2 production is now underway.

“As you may not know, ‘Street Truck’ is an entertainment program that has an average viewership rating of over 15 percent and is exported to 12 countries. If you make an appearance, you will be able to make your name known to the whole nation.”

It’s true that Street Truck season 2 has a production schedule, but even that doesn’t mean you can’t push the main cast at will.

‘I don’t know if it will or not. If not, we can just push him as a suitable entertainment guest.”

“These days, models are actively entering the entertainment industry. You speak Korean so well, so if you make your debut, you will be able to achieve great success as a celebrity, what do you think?”

As he spoke, he brought his body closer together, then subtly placed one hand on his thigh and touched his shoulder and back with the other.

By this time, she could tell what kind of intention she was approaching, unless she was an idiot.

Ellie hardened her expression and spoke coldly.

“Okay, put your hands away. If you touch my body one more time, I won’t be able to stand still.”

‘It’s also attractive to bounce. Well, it’s no fun if it goes smoothly.’

Yoo Jin-wook said with a smirk.

“Haha, that’s good. You have to have that kind of personality to be able to adapt well to performing arts. When viewers see a model, the most important thing is the waist line… … .”

Then he wrapped his hands around Ellie’s waist as if lavishly.

For an unknown model or celebrity, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As much as you throw in an offer that you can’t refuse, you will have no choice but to fall for it.

But that’s just his opinion.

At that moment, something flashed before her eyes and passed. Then, intense pain crept across his face.

Yoo Jin-wook grabbed his nose and screamed.

“Aww! my nose! My nose is broken!”

Nostrils were dripping from his nostrils. Director Jung Woo-young, who was watching from behind him, ran quickly to stop the bleeding.

“Wait, are you okay?”

“Damn it! Does this look okay now!? This crazy bitch hit me!”

“Gee, calm down.”

Director Jung Woo-young barely ripped open his fists and was about to run to the woman. As the commotion broke out, the film crew, the people of Vester’s headquarters, and the security guards rushed in.

As if he was hit by one shot, he could not see anything, and Yoo Jin-wook poured out abusive language and abusive language that was difficult to put into his mouth.

“Do you think it will be okay if you do this to me?”

Ellie asked with her arms crossed.

“What if it doesn’t go well?”

Yoo Jin-wook looked around him, covering his nose with his handkerchief, and shouted.

“You are finished! I will never set my feet on this floor again!”

In the entertainment industry, it is the end of GJ Media’s eyes. But for her, this is neither a main job nor a side job.

Even if I couldn’t put my feet up again, there was no problem in living and eating.

Ellie nodded her head.

“Good for you. I don’t even want to set foot on this floor.”


When the warning didn’t work at all, Yoo Jin-wook became even more angry.

“What are you looking at, bastards? Report it to the police right now!”

Director Jung Woo-young had a confused expression on his face.

‘If you report it to the police, things will get bigger.’

While everyone hesitated, Ellie pulled out her cell phone.

“Nothing to shout. I will report it.”

Ellie immediately called 112.

“Is it the police station? I just wanted to report you because I was sexually harassed.”



* * *

The police arrived 15 minutes after reporting.

Yoo Jin-wook grabbed his swollen nose and kept screaming, and Jung Woo-young explained the situation instead. First of all, he announced that Jin-wook Yoo was the son of GJ Group Chairman Yoo Byung-moon. Then the attitude of the police changed.

“Because that woman hit me! What are you doing? The police don’t catch criminals!”

One is a female model, and the other is a son of a chaebol family. I didn’t even have to think about who to side with.

The police approached Ellie and said,

“I will arrest you as a suspect in assault.”

If it had been before, she might have been surprised. But now that I have been in Korea for several years, this situation is not surprising.

Ellie said with a puzzled expression on her face.

“I am the reporter.”

“Are you denying the assault?”

“It was in self-defense against sexual harassment.”

Yoo Jin-wook shouted again.

“What is sexual harassment? I just approached him and talked to him.”

Ellie pointed to the CCTV on the ceiling.

“There is CCTV over there. If you just check the video, it will come out soon.”

Director Jung Woo-young said as if nothing was wrong.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“The CCTV was under inspection, so the screen was not recording.”

‘I’ll have to contact the security team asap and instruct them to delete the video.’

said the police.

“If you have something to say, go to the seo.”

“It doesn’t matter, why are you arresting me alone? Shouldn’t that person do it too?”

“Is there any evidence that there was sexual harassment? If done wrong, it could even add to the innocence.”

“It’s strange. If the victim is filing a complaint, why are you talking about innocence? Is it okay for the police to conduct a fair investigation like this?”

“Isn’t the person over there sure of the damage and has no witnesses?”

“The witness is a subordinate.”

“If you keep doing this, you will have no choice but to put on handcuffs.”

another police officer asked.

“Are you a foreigner? Please show me your alien registration card for identification.”

Ellie took out her alien registration card and her business card and held it out. When the police saw it, their eyes widened.

“uh? Hey, you’re a lawyer. You are working at the Golden Gate Korean branch.”

Yoo Jin-wook made an embarrassed expression.

“What? Is this woman a lawyer? What nonsense is she talking about?”

He took the business card from the policeman’s hand. There, it was written that he really had the title of Head of Legal Team 1 at Golden Gate.

“Hey, this could be real… … .”

You’re acting as a Golden Gate lawyer with a face like this? Anyone who sees it looks like a model. Does this make sense?

“If you don’t believe me, call the company.”

The policeman who pulled out the handcuffs stopped. If you are just a foreign model, you can arrest him without any hesitation, but if you are a Golden Gate lawyer, it is a different story.

Ellie told the police.

“But don’t the Korean police announce the Miranda principle when they make an arrest?”

“Ah, that’s what… … You can exercise your right to remain silent… … .”

“Since you know what it is, I’ll do what I heard. Rather, I will sue that man for sexual assault, so arrest him as a current criminal. You’re not the only one arrested, are you?”

The police said to Jinwook Yoo as if there was nothing he could do.

“I think we should go together.”

“What? That bitch hit me, so why am I going to the police station?”

“Anyway, you have to tell the victim… … .”

“You don’t know who I am, do you?”

Ellie told the police.

“Can I call you for a second? I think I need to tell you a little bit about the situation.”

“Who are you talking to?”

Ellie looked at Yoo Jin-wook running rampant along the road, clutching her broken nose, she said.

“Your boyfriend.”
