I picked up the phone in the president’s office and said, “Secretary Seo.”
“Yes, boss.”
“Could you co into the room for a mont?”
“Yes, boss.”
Soon Ji-hoon opened the door and ca inside. I asked him, “Secretary Seo, you... No, Ji-hoon, you are... Have you ever put your na in the search box?”
“My na?”
“Yes, have you ever searched for Seo Ji-hoon in the search box?”
“No.”
Ji-hoon was shaking his head, but he suddenly rembered. “Oh, by the way, do you know the archer Seo Ji-hoon, who competed in the team event at the London Olympics six years ago?”
I recalled for a mont. A few people flashed across my mind, but I didn’t know their nas. “Well, I don’t rember.”
“You might not know him. He was in the team competition only once at that ti. Anyways, he has the sa na as , so I cheered and rembered him. When the Rio Olympics ca again four years later, I searched for Seo Ji-hoon again, but he failed to make it to the national team. I think that was the first and last ti. That’s the reason I searched under my na.”
I nodded, “Well, yeah, yeah... Yeah, I got it. You can return to your seat.”
“... yes, boss.” Secretary Seo cocked his head curiously and went out the door.
Co to think of it, most people were like that. Except for politicians and celebrities, who would search for news in their own nas? I thought for a mont.
‘If I could get my own news… Then that news is far more important than other news. All I do is right now is watch other news.’
[CEO Han Sang-hoon has succeeded. The investnt industry believes that Han’s prediction was right again.]
‘And when the good news cos up, I am going to push it as I do.’
[CEO Han Sang-hoon has lost. Investnt sources say that CEO Han Sang-hoon’s last decision was a mistake.]
‘If there is news like this, I can correct the future accordingly.’
[... he has recorded an evening surprise.]
[... he has recorded the upper limit price.]
‘The other news, such as above, is a secondary indicator that helps make my judgnt; however, all my news has beco accurate news that gives the sa result. That’s right, if that’s the case... My news becos the main dish, and other news is a side nu that makes my news good, a spice.
‘If there is a problem, it is that my na is a bit common. My last na, Han, is the eleventh largest family na in South Korea. The na Sang-hoon is quite common, too. In order to receive my news in People Search, I have to be the most famous Han Sang-hoon in Korea, but there are already many more famous Han Sang-hoons than .’
I once again put Han Sang-hoon in the portal site window. As expected, the face that I saw earlier appeared again.
‘Ha, ha, by the way... this guy...’
The person at the top of the portal was the sa one: Han Sang-hoon, a 56-year-old and lawmaker re-elected three tis.
Now that I thought about him, I had seen him on the news sotis. I saw his face and na, but he just wasn’t important. He had the sa na as , but I had nothing to do with him. But this man had beco a great mountain for . Most of the news when I searched for Han Sang-hoon now was almost eighty percent for him.
[Han Sang-hoon, a lawmaker, voiced criticism at the Blue House.]
[Han Sang-hoon asked National Tax Service Director a question at a parliantary hearing.]
[No problem with the funding of the Congressman. Rep. Han Sang-hoon’s rebuttal.]
This man was still active as a lawmaker. According to the special news, the lawmaker seed to have a bit of a “fighting chicken” spirit.” The news about him was coming out in a day or two.
‘Why is he fighting like that?’
There were decent lawmakers who I did not know in the National Assembly, but he was an activist who fought and struggled with other party mbers.
‘Where is his district?’
I looked for it and it was far from my hotown. He was re-elected three tis from the sa area. He was young, with a third term and only fifty-six years of age.
‘It is not always the case, but lawmakers who are generally supported by local politics do not easily lose support on any issues.
‘If he is re-elected four or five tis, he may be even more of a big shot: Representative of the House, Party Representative, Presidential candidate, President... President Han Sang-hoon…
‘If that happens, my trying to get my na in People Search is over. The news of 12 Hours After, sends the news if the news cos out in Korea. Sotis my news will appear, but when there is no Ranking News, it will be similar to receiving Lotto number news.
‘This guy is the biggest mountain.’
The rest were mosly professors. Professor of dicine Han Sang-hoon, Professor of Chemistry Han Sang-hoon, Professor of the literature departnt Han Sang-hoon... These people were also getting a spot on the news.
[Professor of dicine at Sungkong University Han Sang-hoon has discovered Alzheir’s disease-causing quality.]
[Professor of Chemistry at Woojin University Han Sang-hoon, research results on the production of high-resilience nanotubes.]
[Professor Han Sang-hoon at Chungwon University is appointed a judge of the New Chunchun Literature Review.]
The next people were athlete and tennis player Han Sang-hoon, professional golfer Han Sang-hoon, professional gar Han Sang-hoon... these guys were also getting news from ti to ti.
[Han Sang-hoon is eliminated from the preliminary round of the World Tennis Championships.]
[Han Sang-hoon, who catches the eagle on the seventh hole.]
[A co-from-behind shot! Han Sang-hoon’s fantastic finish!]
To be honest, they were not top-class athletes that all Koreans knew, but they were also much more famous than I was. Fortunately, there were no famous celebrities. It was celebrities who appeared in the news the most.
‘Internet news usually competitively picks up celebrity news, because the number of clicks is good.’
[Actor Han Sang-hoon is cast in a new drama.]
[Korean Idol Han Sang-hoon, has a romance with a female idol of the sa age.]
[Singer Han Sang-hoon Announces new album in September.]
Of course, there were a few big cases.
[Han Sang-hoon, a real-ti shot while traveling abroad. A pictorial of everyday life.]
[Han Sang-hoon’s chicken eating show at ho.]
[Han Sang-hoon’s Fine Airport Fashion.]
These simple routines were all reported. So, if there was a famous celebrity, he might be even more powerful than Han Sang-hoon, a lawmaker.
‘That’s a relief. By the way, how many businessn are on the news?’
Co to think of it, few of the nation’s businessn were as famous as celebrities and politicians. I didn’t know if it was because they were not interested in being public in the first place, but like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffett in the United States, there were not many famous entrepreneurs, and there was no news about them. It was usually a negative case when a businessman or investor was on the dia.
[The chairman of... has appeared before the prosecution today. … suspected of collusion between politics and business… The chairman stood in front of the prosecutor’s photo line in a wheelchair, citing deteriorating health.]
[..... the forr director has beco controversial because of in-house grooming… The managing director assaulted the employee, saying it was not the basis for accepting custors. He used a lot of abusive language.]
[Mr... has been charged with fraud. Known as the stock rich in Cheongdam-dong… He is known in the investnt industry as a genius for stocks, and he has recently attracted tens of billions of dollars from investors.]
Such negative articles were the most common. It seed that capitalists and entrepreneurs in our country had a negative image of themselves.
‘That’s unfortunate... Is it because there are not many respectable businessn in our country?’
When I beco famous later, I would be treated like that; it made feel a little sad to think that. I typed ‘a great businessman’ in the search window. A lot of news ca up.
[The only person who was considered a great entrepreneur is the chairman of Yuhan Pharmaceutical Company, who was an independent activist during the Japanese colonial rule. He thought of the lack of dicines in our country and set up the Yuhan.]
I read more.
[Yuhan is famous for its company’s ethical managent from its founding until now. There is a legendary anecdote that the company was subject to a tax investigation during the military dictatorship, and they didn’t have any fraud or fault. When the chairman passed away in 1971, he returned $40,700,000 to society, except for his granddaughter’s tuition. $40,700,000 in 1971, as of now, is a huge amount. It was not just the words that politicians use to give back to society, but it the real return. He is the man who actually returned sothing to society.]
He was a great man. I read another article.
[The founder of Shin Yong-ho Kyobo Group, famous for his words, “People make books and books make people,” is the person who set up Kyobo Books in the basent of Kyobo Life Building in Gwanghwamun. The Kyobo Life building is located in avery expensive area, right next to the statue of Yi Sun-shin, where everyone thought a large-scale shopping mall would co in. However, though everyone tried to dissuade him, Shin Yong-ho made a bookstore, thinking, “In the middle of Seoul, there should be one bookstore representing Korea.” Instead of receiving hundreds of thousand dollars in rent, he opened a bookstore that was almost unprofitable. As an independent and prestigious family, he also ranked first in paying inheritance tax in Korea. It is a dignified record, considering other Chaebols are sohow pulling strings to pay fewer inheritance taxes. He was also a person who used the Kyobo Bookstore a lot.]
‘Yes, if I think about it, I could be a great entrepreneur. The reason why Korea has such an image is that most businessn have made such a choice.
‘If they ask to choose between the two sides: the one who appears in a wheelchair in collusion with between politics and business, and the other who is praised even after his death, I will, of course, choose the latter. If I beco famous anyway, I want to be famous in a good way.’
I was going to start with $300,000,000, but…
In the past, I asked custor service, “Why are you giving such good luck?”
They replied, “Think about it.”
I recalled the answer. I didn’t think I had all the answers myself, but when I thought about it myself, this luck was too much for to enjoy alone.
