009 The Flaws of Yin Yunhui

“President~”

“Stop, stop, stop! What era do you think this is? Weren’t we supposed to be progressive? Someone who doesn’t know might wonder what I’ve done.”

Yin Yunhui ‘jumped up’ in fright. Fortunately, there were other students in the old seminary library, but Yin Yunhui still led his diligent cadre out.

The old seminary building is one of the three main stone buildings of Yonsei University, also a historic architectural relic on the peninsula.

Originally, the school planned to reclaim it since a new seminary building was constructed, intending to assign the old one to the Graduate School of Social Sciences. But Yin Yunhui didn’t agree; he was used to staying in the old building, so the school gave up.

After all, Yin Yunhui was already a senior. Adjustments could be made after his graduation. The Songdu Memorial Foundation theoretically was also a member of the Yonsei University Board of Trustees.

Walking through the garden courtyard in front of the main building, Yin Yunhui finally learned what had happened.

I haven’t even debuted yet, and I’ve already offended BTS’s fans?

Ha.

Does this mean my path in the entertainment industry will be difficult?

“President, what are you going to SBS TV for?”

Facing the eager expectations of his student council colleagues, Yin Yunhui, who wasn’t planning to attend any events so soon, had no choice but to step forward ahead of schedule:

“Yes, you guessed right.”

“Wow, wow, wow! President, you’re amazing! I knew it!”

Yin Yunhui felt a bit embarrassed:

“Alright, rest assured, I’ll get BTS for you!”

“Go, President!”

Ha, ha ha, hahaha…

Searching, searching for friends…

Actually, BTS was easy to find.

First, everyone knows BTS is under Big Hit Entertainment; then, we know Big Hit’s boss is Bang Si-hyuk.

Given that, things became simple.

Bang Si-hyuk’s father, Bang Geum-yun, was a diligent leader at DJ-era welfare organizations before retiring; Bang’s uncle, Choi Kyu-sik, was a 17th and 18th-term lawmaker of the Jung Dong-young faction and is now under pressure from the Moon Jae-in faction in Hungary.

Sounds progressive, doesn’t it?

All elders who have attended the Songdu Memorial Foundation’s charity dinners.

Although Bang Si-hyuk’s father retired over a decade ago, and his uncle became marginalized after the downfall of the leader Jung Dong-young, handling a small matter like this was still easy.

So as soon as Yin Yunhui arrived, he was directly invited into Bang Si-hyuk’s office at Big Hit Entertainment—and was stunned.

No kidding, this is really a pig.

His obesity was to a degree that made one feel physically uncomfortable.

It’s said that Bang Si-hyuk, from a good family, had excellent academic results and could have entered Seoul National University’s law school but was rebellious in youth and pursued music, causing major family conflicts.

Thus, from his early days hanging out with Park Jin-young at JYPE to later founding Big Hit Entertainment on his own, Bang Si-hyuk scarcely relied on his elders’ influence.

That was his talent.

Moreover, his family probably couldn’t offer much cash to support his music career.

If he didn’t rely on family, then where did Big Hit Entertainment’s success come from over the years?

Hard to say.

Demanding a businessman to be unwavering is nonsense; anyone in business is adept at navigating the winds and driven solely by profit.

Bang Si-hyuk attends events in the U.S. annually, his actions revealing the answer clearly.

After Yin Yunhui explained his purpose, the wrinkles on Bang’s face instantly relaxed:

“Although BTS’s schedule is tight, they can spare half a day next month to perform for thirty minutes at Yonsei University’s anniversary.”

“I thought it would be difficult.”

Yin Yunhui smiled warmly, but Bang sensed something off:

“What’s difficult about it? BTS is free anyway. They performed at the school anniversary when they debuted; now it’s like returning to where they started. It benefits both parties.”

Bang Si-hyuk gave a perfect answer quickly. Considering a junior who went through so much trouble to reach out, he was already quite courteous.

Frankly, even if he declined BTS’s performance, he wouldn’t lose anything.

His business has grown this big on his own!

Agreeing to BTS’s invitation was just a harmless favor.

Yin Yunhui had nothing to say.

Like Yoon Seok-min of Taeyoung Construction Group, Bang Si-hyuk probably viewed himself as a lively junior.

After all, he hadn’t even graduated university.

Now without direct family protection but holding considerable assets—innocent yet burdened.

“Thank you, President Bang. I’ll send an official invitation to your company right away.”

Yin Yunhui took out his phone, sending the prepared message to Bang’s email.

“No problem, Yunhui-xi. You could just call me for such a small matter. Want to tour our new Big Hit Entertainment building? I’ll have the business department draft the contract, and we can sign it shortly. How about that?”

“No wonder President Bang succeeded so well—so straightforward. He must have a lot of support.”

“Hahaha, anyone who joins Big Hit Entertainment, I treat as family—veterans like Seo Seong-jin and Han Seong-su, and newcomers like Min Hee-jin.”

“Min Hee-jin?”

Yin Yunhui quickly finished his business. Not being a fan, he didn’t ask to meet or get autographs from artists, but passing the time with a tour wouldn’t hurt.

Unlike SBS’s Choi CP, Bang Si-hyuk had built Big Hit Entertainment into a listed company with his own strength, moving its address to a brand-new building in Yongsan District.

Obviously, Bang was showing off as he led Yin Yunhui around.

His second pride was that he built his empire without relying on his family.

That’s why he could remain calm and play the rich guy in front of Yin Yunhui, whose family had been wealthy for eight generations.

Probably in Bang’s mind, this wealthy heir had to go through him for such trivial matters.

He seemed to have brushed off or naturally digested that slight awkwardness from earlier.

Yin Yunhui admitted, in market value, you’re definitely richer—I’ll let you win~

The Songdu Memorial Foundation holds many hidden assets, yet even these can’t escape hefty inheritance taxes.

As for Bang Si-hyuk’s greatest pride, it must be being the “father” of BTS.

He single-handedly created BTS, a new pinnacle in K-pop history.

But Yin Yunhui was curious about a name he heard from Bang’s words.

“So, Yunhui-xi, do you know our Director Min?”

“No, but I’ve heard of her. She used to work at SM Entertainment? The artistic director of Red Velvet?”

Yin Yunhui suppressed a smile. He had indeed heard of Min Hee-jin, but only through Park Soo-young’s complaints.

He never trusted hearsay, but when multiple people say the same thing, that director Min certainly deserved scrutiny.

And what did Bang just say?

“Our Director Min?”

Is that phrase casually used? “Our XXX?”

I wonder if the last person called that has already rebelled.

“Hahaha, looks like our Director Min’s reputation precedes her! Yunhui-xi can look forward to her upcoming work.”

Bang couldn’t help boasting, swelling with pride.

“Hmm, I’m very much looking forward to it.”

Yin Yunhui just smiled.

Yin Yunhui, gifted with countless virtues, naturally had flaws.

He seemed skilled in socializing, possessing a charismatic charm that won him the student council presidency and made him the school’s darling.

Yet, up to now, he had no deep relationships.

Whether acquaintances like secretive Liu Zhi-min, childhood friend Zhao Mei-yan, or social figures like Yoon Seok-min of Taeyoung, SBS’s Choi CP, or even Bang Si-hyuk before him—

Yin Yunhui maintained an outsider’s detached coolness.

Others liked him, and he didn’t need to like others—how convenient.

Even childhood friend CJ Lee Jun-ho was just a quality friend to call for drinks and complaints.

Theology often uses philosophical methods and concepts, but the wayward Yin Yunhui liked to deconstruct others, probing their darkest inner selves.

No wonder he digested the script for “Penthouse” so quickly—acting was practically a passive skill.

Interesting.

Yin Yunhui had a premonition that Bang Si-hyuk would suffer a major downfall, all because of that woman named Min Hee-jin.

But he wouldn’t warn anyone; they wouldn’t believe him anyway.
