Working in the K-pop industry was quite time-consuming, especially when you were literally the control center of one of the hottest girl groups of the moment. The job of a manager is considered one of the hardest jobs as you have to keep an eye on the idols all the time. Distribute their schedule, monitor their appearance, events, filming, meals, etc.

Aespa gave you rather mixed feelings, since the girls’ personalities were clearly not sweet. The industry is full of this, so you are already used to it. But lately, a lot of problems have arisen because of Karina, the leader of the group, since the news of her relationship and subsequent breakup led to a lot of work in the company. You were made responsible for the showdown with the fans. You were the one who helped Jimin write the handwritten apology letter.

And you could definitely tell that Karina is not okay now. She continued to work, smile for the camera and take care of her members. Even her periodic demands slipped in relation to staff. But the indignant comments from fans continued. The company was already beginning to be accused of treating Karina unfairly, although it was fans' fault that she and Lee Jae Wook had to break up.

«Manager-nim, can I have some water?», — her serious and at the same time voice, cracked due to fatigue, resounds in the practice hall. Her face is paler than usual and her slightly labored breathing makes it clear that she is again tormenting herself with rehearsals. She's trying to distract herself with a comeback.
