-The viewership ratings are 11.2%!!0

"It didn't just hit 10%, but it went over 11%?"0

-It's all thanks to you, Mr. Jung.0

"Thanks to me? What do you mean by that?"0

-Didn't you distribute 30% food and beverage discount coupons for the Yeongjongdo Jinseong Resort through the app to members who voted in the one-on-one battle?0

On the [PROJECT : I.O.A] app, we had already been giving out 50% off vouchers for a two-night, three-day stay at the Yeongjongdo Jinseong Resort to users who voted. But before the second round of the one-on-one battle began, we added another event. They said we announced that everyone who had voted would also receive a 30% discount coupon for food and beverages.0

"That wasn't me. That was decided by Ms. Jin."0

-Is that so? Well, you were the one who brought in that sponsor, Mr. Jung, so it's basically the same thing. We'll be counting on you going forward as well.0

"Oh, you should be making that request to Ms. Jin Ah-Ram."0

PD Ji Yung-Sik said that was out of the question.0

-Acting President Jin is usually so cold I can barely even talk to her. She's only gentle when she's with you, Mr. Jung, so I'm asking you instead.0

"Understood. I'll ask her and see if it's possible again next time. But large-scale events like this are a burden for Jinseong too, so I can't make any promises."0

-If you're the one asking, Mr. Jung, I'm sure it'll work. Anyway, I look forward to working with you again.0

After I hung up, I was finally able to let out a deep sigh of relief.0

'Yes!'0
