Chapter 15: Flex EntertainmentFlex Entertainment.

Inside a 20-storey building, a middle-aged man wearing a suit entered a middle-sized office on the 5th floor of the building. The man's entrance caused so much attention that the employees inside quickly stood up to greet the man respectfully.

"How's everything?" The man spoke with much curiosity. Despite the authority, his facial expression was kind.

The middle-aged man was Joon Chanhyuk. He was the head of the Actors Acquisition' department in Flex Entertainment. They were in charge of finding and managing talents to be successful actors.

Chanhyuk was known for his golden eyes that seemed to spot an individual with overflowing talent. It was repeatedly proven as their department debuted talented actors year after year, be it a second lead or a main lead.

"We're working on it, Sir. There has been a surge of submission as the deadline neared. Currently, there's still more than a thousand applications pending that we haven't gone through and it's still increasing as we speak." Among the employees in the office, Lee Soo-Ah, the oldest and the most senior of all, replied to their boss.

"I see..." Chanhyuk nodded, glancing around at the team. "I hope you're not carelessly rushing the process." he gently reminded them.

Flex Entertainment was a known agency for scouting talented individuals that were hoping to catch a big break in the showbiz industry. They belonged to the "Big Three" agencies in Korea, priding itself on its high standards and an impeccable reputation for launching stars.

Flex entertainment overlooks everything from idols, singers, actors and models. They also had a massive connection with other companies such as movie studios, broadcasting channels, and entertainment shows.

However, this year, their department was walking in eggshells. With just three months left until next year, they still haven't found anyone that could potentially debut at the start of the year.

Every January, a movie festival was being held in South Korea. It was to commemorate and hope for a smoother year for the different entertainment agencies.

Usually in this month, different entertainment agencies would debut a new actor in hopes of hitting the stage. They do this by launching a small drama, with the actor as the main lead.

Normal dramas in South Korea have 16 episodes. However, for a debuting and new actor, it would only be until 8 episodes. This would ensure quality, but at the same time, save the company from extensive spending when there was still no guaranteed result.

Agencies would instead rather spend more on promotions as it would acquire more benefits.

It didn't help that this year's debuting actor from Flex Entertainment skyrocketed in popularity after just months of his debut. With this, the company has been putting more pressure on their department to surpass the achievement they did previously.

"Even if we're already in a rough position, focus on filtering for the quality we're after. We need someone distinct. Someone who doesn't just meet our standards but can really stand out. I want someone unique this year."

"Copy, Boss. We've been very strict with the criteria but it's rare to find one that feels special." Soo-Ah problematically sighed.

They have been eagerly

"I also can't find anything about him." Another employee answered as she searched the trending list on different social media sites for the past months.

Chanhyuk's eyes widened. "So are you saying that this man is really a newbie? How come?" He was in great astonishment. For someone with a face like this, he should be getting some calls from different agencies now!

"Maybe it was his first time submitting applications like this one." Dongwook concluded.

Chanhyuk's heart leaped from it.

Is this the miracle he was praying for?

Chanhyuk does not care if this man wasn't the best at acting. Just let him be at least knowledgeable and they could work it out to be set for next year.

"Quick! Send an email to him at this instant, Dongwook! Arrange a meeting for us at the earliest possible slot. I don't care if it will be tomorrow or later. Just make it work before other agencies contact him!" Chanhyuk hurriedly ordered Dongwook before eyeing the other employees.

"Soo-Ah, try to see if this guy also sent his application to the other companies. If he did, then try to know if the others were already contacting him. I want an answer by afternoon."

"I will, Sir." Soo-Ah did her work.

"While the rest of you, get to work! I want all preparations ready by the end of the day. Contracts, scripts, training partnership, and everything else. Let's get this guy, alright?"

"Yes, Sir!" the employees answered enthusiastically.
