After a long time, Mr. Choi finally gets around to telling us what he's doing these days. He used to be a teacher, but now he works as a manual laborer. He tells us that he used to manage actors, but then his contract ended, and he started looking for another job. He also tells us about the recently formed girl group "girls alert," which is on the verge of disbanding because of the fact that they can't go to China. He says that the group is sad because they thought they'd be able to make it in china but now they're sad because their world has completely fallen apart. Mr. Choi starts a small business with his savings, and then he recruits jisung, the son of hwajung, to join the girl group.
