[Where will the crown prince of Coach Gong's team go?]
[Special Feature! Which club suits Hong Min-jun?]
[Anonymous source receives a blank check offer from a famous club!]
[Following Europe, North and South America, and even the Middle East have joined the battle for Hong Min-jun! What will the result be?]
[Hong Min-jun's agency, MH, is silent! What is their intention?]
Everywhere I looked, it was all about Hong Min-jun's transfer.
And half of it was unverified gossip, while the other half was clickbait speculation.
As I was scanning the articles about Hong Min-jun that were practically wallpapering the sports section, one article caught my eye.
[The off-field El Clásico unfolding in Korea! The fateful rivalry battle over Hong Min-jun!
—It appears that Spain's Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, considered the most famous and popular prestigious clubs, have officially joined the race to sign Hong Min-jun. El Clásico, which refers to the derby between the two giants Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona that have long divided the Spanish La Liga, is the most popular rivalry in all of world sports.
The two teams, which clash fiercely on the pitch every year, also collided in this transfer market, specifically in the race to sign Spain's top prospect, Jorge Garcia (20). Jorge, who debuted at Bilbao at the age of 18 two years ago, is a player familiar to domestic fans for his rivalry with Hong Min-jun in this Olympics, and he was selected as the top transfer target for both teams, leading to fierce competition. The winner was Real Madrid.
Last week, Real Madrid officially confirmed the transfer of Jorge Garcia.
With not much time left in the transfer market, and with the atmosphere shifting toward a decision victory for Real Madrid in the El Clásico that took place in the transfer market, a second El Clásico has broken out, and at its center is none other than Hong Min-jun.
An anonymous source revealed that the interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona is true, while also leaving various possibilities open, stating that since there are love calls from multiple prestigious European clubs, nothing is confirmed yet.
Just how far will the wing-flapping of Hong Min-jun, who has soared to new heights at the Olympics, go—]
—Wow~ This is insane, holy sh*t. Real and Barça are competing to sign Hong Min-jun.
ㄴSeriously, this is crazy;; An El Clásico recruitment battle over a Korean player, damn.
ㄴHong Min-jun's class is insane.
—Personally, I don't recommend La Liga for Hong Min-jun. EPL suits him better.
ㄴWho are you?
ㄴShut your mouth if you don't know soccer.
ㄴCursing out of nowhere;; What a personality lol.
—I'm currently living in Italy. Hong Min-jun is appearing in local Italian media too, damn.
ㄴWhat are they saying?
ㄴThey say Juve and both Milan clubs are also pushing for his signing lol.
—Kicker official just dropped lol. Munich and Dortmund have joined the fray too hahaha.
ㄴAre you crazy hahaha, why is everyone jumping in?
ㄴIs Hong Min-jun really that good? Seems like an overreaction.
ㄴHe's a Free Agent, so they're just taking a shot at it even if they don't get him hahaha.
—But what is Hong Min-jun's agency? Never heard of it.
ㄴThey say it's MH Agency, and even in my 10 years of being a soccer nut, I've never heard of it hahaha.
—Day 3 of hoping for Hong Min-jun to the EPL.
ㄴPlease, Juve.
ㄴGet out of that racist league.
ㄴIf Barça calls, you have to go.
ㄴCulé out! The royal Real is calling! Hong Min-jun's visuals are perfect for the white uniform!
Oh Ha-rin's long fingers, which had been scanning the comment section, tapped against her phone screen.
—That's enough now.
The recipient was Kang Su-yeon.
The reply from Kang Su-yeon, the anonymous source mentioned in numerous articles, was quick.
—Kang Su-yeon: Got it.
—Kang Su-yeon: I'll give ambiguous answers if any interviews come in now.
After checking the message, I exited to the home screen, where a photo of Hong Min-jun greeted me.
After scanning the photo for a moment, Oh Ha-rin went straight into the gallery.
She browsed through the gallery, which was plastered entirely with photos of Hong Min-jun, and set her favorite one as the wallpaper.
Returning to the home screen, she saw the photo of Hong Min-jun, perfectly adjusted to the phone screen. Only then did Oh Ha-rin smile with satisfaction and pull up her call log.
—Yes, Agassi.
"You can stop stoking the flames in the media now. What about the lawyer?"
—Since it's the sports sector, which we had no prior connection to, it took some time, but I can have it ready by next week.
"Are you sure? It needs to be ready for the contract by next week at the earliest, or the week after at the latest."
—Of course. I will prepare it thoroughly so there's nothing for you to worry about.
"Good."
Oh Ha-rin finished her business and was about to end the call when a man's voice came through.
—Agassi.
"What?"
—The Chairman, no, your father is asking when you'll come to greet him...
"I'm busy, so tell him to wait."
—Agassi! Aga...
Oh Ha-rin ended the call and immediately pressed and held speed dial 1.
A familiar melody flowed from the phone. The same ringback tone as her own. Since Hong Min-jun finds these things bothersome, she had set it herself, but regardless, the matching ringback tone made her feel good.
—Why?
Until that woman's voice was heard.
"What the hell. Why are you picking up?"
—Min-jun is getting his makeup done before the shoot.
Yoon Da-ye.
A disgusting woman who shared Hong Min-jun's childhood, which she knew nothing about.
'...I shouldn't be like this.'
Oh Ha-rin steeled her heart.
Jealousy? At this rate, I'd be no different from an ordinary woman.
When she was young.
Young Ha-rin asked her father, who had visited after a long time.
"Why do I have so many moms? But I only have one dad."
"That's because Dad is a special person. Ha-rin. Dad is a special person. Very capable, very outstanding. And you are the daughter of such a father. Keep that in mind. You and I are special people. So, there's no need to be bound by the gazes of ordinary people."
That's right.
She is not an ordinary person.
Dad is a very, very special person. Capable, great, and extraordinary.
So it's natural that Mom chose Dad. Ordinary people might not understand, but that's fine. Because she is different from them.
Mom becoming one of Dad's women, and me being born between them, is not meaningless at all. It's not worthless.
Because Dad is a special person, and I, his daughter, am also a special person.
And the man I chose is also a special man.
Because I will definitely make him that way.
So there is no need to be jealous like ordinary women.
Like the eldest mother... I just need to manage the concubines like a proper main wife and use them appropriately according to their abilities.
But why...
"Watch your mouth. I'm your boss."
Why am I so annoyed?
Oh Ha-rin snapped coldly, as if to shake off the sticky emotions that kept blooming.
—...Sorry, no, I apologize, Boss.
It didn't bother her when Kang Su-yeon spoke informally, but Yoon Da-ye's use of honorifics immediately made her feel better.
It felt as if the hierarchy between the main wife and the concubine had been acknowledged.
"Like you said, getting Kang Su-yeon to leak information to the media was a success. The lawyer will also be ready by next week."
—Understood.
"When exactly do you intend to sign the contract?"
—Not yet. The clubs that are slow to move haven't budged yet. Still, since we pressured them through the media, they should react.
Oh Ha-rin thought of the clubs that had sent proposals.
Certainly... there are many places that have expressed interest, but the clubs that have actually sent recruitment offers are teams with values that don't meet expectations.
It hasn't even been half a year since Oh Ha-rin took an interest in soccer... no, sports.
And it's been less than half that time since she started studying soccer in earnest and set up the agency. As a result, even though she was the CEO of the agency in name, she didn't really know how the soccer world worked.
However, what a manager does is not practical work.
It's utilizing talented people with appropriate abilities in the right places. And evaluating them fairly and impartially.
To put it extremely, you only need the power of personnel and inspection.
The person sitting at the top doesn't need to know what every subordinate is doing, nor do they need to be well-versed in every task.
The practical work of the agency will be done by the experts she hired.
She just needs to set the direction in the big picture and evaluate their work performance.
Hiring Yoon Da-ye was part of that.
That she was a scholarship student at Korea University, that she was surprisingly knowledgeable about the soccer world, that she was capable and diligent... those things were not considerations at all.
With one phone call from Oh Ha-rin, she could line up talents from Korea University, and she could find diligent and smart people anytime. Knowledgeable about the soccer world?
Of course, that was a bit unexpected.
Also, her surprisingly sharp intuition might be a strength in its own way.
But above all, the reason she hired her was because Yoon Da-ye is Hong Min-jun's woman.
Oh Ha-rin could see it. Even though he denies it, Hong Min-jun has feelings for Yoon Da-ye.
It's nothing special.
Because Hong Min-jun already has countless women.
But strangely, Yoon Da-ye was particularly uncomfortable.
Kang Su-yeon, Yoon Hee-yeon, and other miscellaneous things can just be managed appropriately as the main wife... but strangely, Yoon Da-ye bothered her.
Perhaps that's why she caught her under the pretext of employment.
To gradually imprint the hierarchy on the poor Yoon Da-ye using money.
Oh Ha-rin, who was putting down her phone after the short call, let out a short sigh, "Ah."
She was so focused on Yoon Da-ye that she couldn't hear Hong Min-jun's voice.
'...Tsk.'
She thought about calling back, but since they said he was preparing for a shoot, Yoon Da-ye would probably pick up again.
Oh Ha-rin, who put her phone down irritably, recalled what kind of shoot it was today.
'Was it Knowing Bros? Or Radio Star?'
"Hello. I'm Hong Min-jun, who transferred from 'Silver Medal High'."
