When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar - Chapter 210
# 211
New Prologue (3)
An arrest warrant was issued for Director Seo Joong-won and the decision to arrest him on site was made because the evidence was too clear and it was judged that there was a risk of him fleeing the country.
Investigators grabbed both arms of Director Seo Joong-won, who was in shock. Director Seo Joong-won, who had screamed and struggled to escape the first few times, stopped as people in the office, including his secretary, flocked in.
Investigators began dragging away Director Seo Jung-won.
The Ara Entertainment headquarters was already turned upside down. The news that Director Seo Joong-won was being arrested spread widely within the company.
Of course, none of the employees were worried about the safety of Director Seo Jung-won. They chatted and talked about what would happen to the company and themselves in the future.
The gazes sent by the employees gathered in front of Director Seo Joong-won’s office were no longer directed at the head of the division, who was at the pinnacle of power.
‘The things that were bowing down to me just a little while ago!’
Director Seo Joong-won clenched his fists.
The investigators saw his expression and strengthened his bound arms.
Even the CEO and the board of directors had already turned their backs on General Manager Seo Jung-won. Even though he was arrested, the thought of ‘I can do my best’ no longer occurred to Director Seo Jung-won’s mind.
The high-ranking executives who received the bribes were likely busy cutting their tails.
However, if it were not for the divorce papers sent from his wife, he would have thought about escaping the prosecution’s investigation somehow.
Even if all the evidence is clear, the sentence could be reduced if the wife’s family takes action.
But even his wife had turned her back on him.
The wife probably decided to divorce by agreement rather than go to court in order to avoid embarrassing the family.
It was obvious without even asking why my wife turned her back on me. If Joo Min-ah handed over the evidence to Director Jeong or the prosecution, it is highly likely that he would have used his wife’s help as well.
Of course, it was difficult to believe that Seo Joong-won’s wife turned away from him just because of her affair with Joo Min-ah.
Seo Kang-jun, the son whom his wife cherished.
Just because Seo Kang-joon was forced to flee and study abroad while receiving criticism from the public, his wife’s trust in Director Seo Jung-won was already severely damaged.
It was her great dissatisfaction that Director Seo Joong-won did not actively participate in Seo Kang-jun’s work afterward because he was aiming for the CEO position.
However, when Director Seo Joong-won said he would bring Seo Kang-jun back, he held back. His wife must have completely changed her mind as the article was published prematurely and Seo Kang-Jun’s future became more uncertain.
‘Maybe I should have coaxed my wife right away on the day the news broke…’
Director Seo Joong-won thought for a moment and then shook his head. The culprit behind all of this was Ju Min-ah.
‘Jumin, there’s no way that bitch could have planned this all by herself. There’s clearly someone behind it. ‘What the fuck!’
But I couldn’t even guess who it was.
Director Jeong was the strongest candidate, but he was also a member of Ara Entertainment. It was clear that if the prosecution arrested Ara Entertainment’s executives, it would also have an impact on the company. They would not have even mobilized the prosecution to bring down Director Seo Jung-won.
‘What on earth…’
My thoughts continued to linger.
There were no regrets about the past when only evil deeds were committed. He was just angry at his own ambitions being lost right before his eyes.
‘What!…… What did I do wrong? Where did it go wrong?’
Behind Director Seo Joong-won, the office he used was being randomly dug up by investigators. Folders flying around in a mess and nameplates turned over. It was like the present of Director Seo Joong-won.
‘How did everything happen like this…’
It collapsed so quickly and in an instant.
It was something that had been accumulated for nearly twenty years. But Director Seo Joong-won couldn’t do anything right now.
‘It’s over.’
Finally, Director Seo Jung-won thought. His life was already over. There was no need for a prosecutorial investigation or trial.
The eyes of the office staff who had been bowing down to him just a moment ago felt like daggers. However, he did not bow his head until the end. That was the last bit of pride he had left.
But no matter who saw it, it was just ridiculous pride.
He was walking down to the shabby end, being criticized by those who reigned in the place where he enjoyed the most power and prestige.
And along the way, the victim’s older brother, who had been harmed by Seo Kang-jun’s evil deeds that he had sown, was standing guard.
“Get out of the way!”
“Let’s get out of the way.”
Reporters were standing camped at the entrance of the Ara Entertainment headquarters.
The investigators dragging Seo Joong-won bit the reporters.
The sound of the flash echoed unusually cheerfully in the middle of Gangnam. Passersby also saw the reporters gathered and snooped around, interested in what was going on.
Ara Entertainment employees who followed them ran back inside the building, fearing that their faces would appear in the newspaper.
Although it was not a huge number, it was surprising interest considering that it was a case that had not yet been properly investigated and that Director Seo Joong-won was not an executive at one of the top 10 major companies in Korea.
The people on the prosecution side also seemed a little taken aback by the reporters’ arrival.
Even Seo Joong-won, who held his head up stiffly until the end, eventually lowered his head to avoid the cameras.
However, his face was already captured on the camera held by reporter Choi Seong-jun.

-Wow… Bean powder There is no soybean powder like this

– Seojun is really over
– They must have been his son’s friends.. He sold all those kids..ㅠㅠ Really. It’s a devil disguised as a human ㅠㅠㅠ
– Shouldn’t the bastards who were sponsored also be investigated???
-I see an article saying there is an investigation
-I’m sure they’ll get cut off again. Anyway, I’m glad that bastard was caught. -What
kind of ordeal is this? He should suffer more
-Let’s investigate properly and deliver justice~~!!
-Jumin, isn’t the fact that you retired related?
– Let’s not make Ara Entertainment celebrities victims because of this incident
– My friend was Joo-min’s co-ordinator friend, and he said that it was difficult for Joo-min as he became very popular after filming Lovers from Outer Space. He must have been exhausted from debuting at such a young age

– Ara Enter isn’t a corner store, so I guess that’s the only person there. Everything goes well even without that one person.
The waiting room of the studio where the pre-recording of SVS’s ‘Life Song’ is taking place. .
There was no expression on Dowook’s face as he scrolled through the articles and comments.
As expected, Ara Entertainment seemed to have decided to cut off the name of General Manager Seo Joong-won.
All of the charges that Director Seo Joong-won personally received for a bribe or embezzled the company’s public funds were to be exposed one by one and applied to his sentence.
The problem was about spawning.
Those who received sponsorship included high-ranking broadcasting station officials, media representatives, university professors, and representatives of various businesses, regardless of field.
However, from what I heard the prosecution’s position through CEO Lee Yu-min, it was said that only some of the personnel were under investigation.
It seems that those in too high a position are difficult for even the prosecution to touch.
What Do-wook wanted was not to realize social justice, so this was enough for him.
But I couldn’t help but feel bitter.
‘If Seo Joong-won had been closer to the core of power…’
Perhaps Do-wook’s revenge would have been a longer battle and the probability of success would have been lower. Even so, it was clear that he would have taken revenge.
Dowook shook his head.
‘Fortunately, we were able to completely destroy both Seo Kang-jun and Seo Joong-won.’
It wasn’t that Do-wook dug a trap and added to the crime. Dowook simply timed it to prevent them from using money and power to avoid legal and moral judgment.
The two people paid the price for their sins. With that alone, they become criminals, the sons of criminals, property confiscation, and even family breakdown. Life was thrown into the gutter without recovery.
‘He might not realize that it was his own fault…’
But Do-wook didn’t want to worry about it until then.
Anyway, Do-wook’s revenge ended perfectly.
It was over.
It was the ‘end’ that I had constantly longed for since the beginning of my life as Kang Do-wook, not Kim Bo-myeong.
I was happy and exhilarated.
After writing the article, I could even feel the joy in reporter Choi Seong-jun’s voice as he expressed his gratitude to Do-wook for the past days.
It was the same with Dowook.
If it had been like before, it would have felt vain at the same time. It was a time when the only goal was revenge. But Dowook had new goals. There were so many precious people with whom I would spend my future life.
Although I felt bitter for a while, it could also become a new goal.
‘As time passes, I will become older than my actual age. I don’t know the future because there are so many things that have already changed… but after that, I can’t know the future even for a moment. Maybe that was the real beginning of Kang Do-wook’s life….’
Do-wook thought and stood up.
“Oh bro. It just happens. “Let’s go now!”
Seok Ji-hoon, who was sitting next to him, also got up from his seat.
“I think this is my first time recording without fans. What about after the debut stage?”
“but. But wasn’t there about a dozen or so fans even when we debuted?”
“that’s right. “I’ve been a fan since I was a trainee…”
The two walked out the door of the waiting room while talking about various things.
In front of the door of the waiting room where the two people went, the singer’s name was written in large letters, just like other singers’ waiting rooms.

At that time, Manager Oh Baek-ho, who was having a meeting in the office with Lim Seong-an, head of the new talent development team, about KK’s follow-up group, received a phone call.
It was a call from team leader Daehyung Lee.
