When So Hyun Joo starts working at Method Entertainment as a rookie, she is thrown into a chaotic scene and is told by team leader Cheon Jae, “Your phone must be on 24 hours a day. You must answer the [phone] while you are eating, sleeping, on the toilet and showering. There’s constant overtime [work], frequent all-nighters, and I can’t guarantee you a personal life.”
So Hyun Joo is then introduced to the other employees who are sitting in a serious meeting. Team leader Kim Joong Don reports that one of their actresses’ castings has been cancelled, and Method CEO Ma Tae Oh angrily replies, “If you keep working like this, will they renew our contract?”
