In the audition waiting room for Doppelgänger, Kang Sang-Joon, now 36 years old, raised his voice the moment he saw me.0

"Chief Jung! Are you trying to start something with me or what?"0

"What are you talking about?"0

"How could you push your actor into this project when you knew I already approached it first?"0

Back when he was with Gwanwoo Entertainment, the more popular actor got priority for lead roles, and others would step back from the audition out of courtesy. It was a kind of star treatment Kang Sang-Joon had grown used to, and he clearly expected the same now at Hoop Entertainment.0

However, that wasn't how we did things here. At Hoop Entertainment, roles were earned through skill, not status.0

Hearing Kang Sang-Joon's nonsense, I responded firmly. "It seems like Mr. Baek didn't explain. At Hoop Entertainment, we encourage actors to compete fiercely in auditions. Whether you get the role or not, it's still a valuable experience."0

I politely explained our company policy, but Kang Sang-Joon scoffed. "Don't give me that crap about experience, Chief Jung. You're just screwing with me because I used to be with Gwanwoo, aren't you? You brought some worthless no-name actor just to throw me off. Don't deny it!"0

Clearly infected with star syndrome, Kang Sang-Joon twisted everything...0
