Eun-Tae tells Director that he never thought so. But Director knows Eun-Tae thinks so. It’s very simple to do something that he’s good at. As long as he’s very smart, everyone can make it. But it’s very hard to save the brand that’s dying. That isn’t everyone can make it.

Director tells Eun-Tae that he gives the job to him. Because he trusts him. Eun-Tae is right that it will be very hard. His team members will complain. But as long as he gives an order, they will complete it. If he does a good job, it will be his credit.
