NIS Agent Reincarnated as a Genius Actor

Han Hae-woon took photos of the agents he selected and the interior of the Mokwha Building after decorating it, and sent them.

‘Future Platform Consulting’

The company name on the sign was appropriate.

It wasn’t particularly suspicious, nor did it make people curious about what kind of business it was.

And it was a name that would absolutely prevent ordinary people from accidentally entering.

The interior was also neatly arranged, with secret areas and work spaces appropriately separated.

“You’ve got quite the aesthetic sense, huh?”

When Yeon-woo commented while looking at the photos, Han Hae-woon smiled.

– I dress quite well too, you know.

“Don’t you wear the same suit every day?”

– I see you haven’t caught on to the subtle differences.

Yeon-woo chuckled and continued speaking.

“Are the agents doing well as instructed?”

– Yes. They seem to have no caution whatsoever, treating it like their own backyard here in Korea.

Through Han Hae-woon, Yeon-woo had ordered the agents to monitor the agent suspected to be codenamed ‘Gold’.

Since there was no justification or reason to investigate a NIS black agent within South Korea, ‘Gold’ seemed to be moving around freely as he pleased.

“They’re all professionals after all.”

– Yes. I think we selected them well.

Originally, the ideal number of people to perfectly monitor one person is three.

– I think we’ll be able to submit a report by next week.

“Alright. Don’t leave any electronic records of the report, and hand it over in writing without any copies.”

– Understood.

Yeon-woo spoke again as if he had remembered something.

“Ah! The tickets I gave you last time. Do you have someone to go with?”

– Ahem. Of course.

At Han Hae-woon’s response, Yeon-woo nodded and wrapped up the call.

Meanwhile, Han Hae-woon ended the call with Yeon-woo, got out of the car, and took the elevator.

Ding─.

Upon reaching his destination, Han Hae-woon opened the door and entered with familiar steps.

“Oh, Prosecutor, you’re here.”

“Ah, yes. Where’s the director?”

“She went to the restroom. Please go ahead and change first.”

Han Hae-woon nodded and entered the changing room.

It’s already been six months since he started coming to Pilates.

While Han Hae-woon was changing, Jeong Hye-min, who had gone to the restroom, returned.

“Min-ahh and Ju-ah, what are you doing?”

“Oh, Director. It’s that again. Of course, we failed.”

Jeong Hye-min smiled as she looked at the Pilates instructors hunched dejectedly in front of the monitor.

“You want to see it that badly?”

“It’s causing such a stir these days. The play ‘Mirror’.”

Just then, Han Hae-woon came out after changing.

“Ah, you’re here.”

“Yes.”

Han Hae-woon and Jeong Hye-min’s relationship had progressed quite a bit, to the point where he would even babysit her child when she had urgent matters.

It was puzzling why he would cry when he saw the child, but she thought he must really like children that much.

They say there are no bad people among those who like children and animals, right?

But they were just friends, after all.

And Han Hae-woon was preparing to take a step further today.

“Um…”

“Yes?”

“I happened to get some tickets. Do you like plays, by any chance?”

“Ah…”

Jeong Hye-min’s expression turned awkward at Han Hae-woon’s words.

It wasn’t that she disliked Han Hae-woon, but a play would be seen as a date by anyone, wouldn’t it?

She thought she still needed some mental preparation for that.

Just as she was about to decline, the Pilates instructors next to her saw the tickets in Han Hae-woon’s hand.

“Huh? Oh! Prosecutor, are those tickets for ‘Mirror’ by any chance?”

“Ah, yes. They are.”

“How, how many do you have?!”

Han Hae-woon quickly caught Jeong Hye-min’s expression, the faces of the surrounding instructors, and the screen displayed on the computer.

It’s a spy’s fate to combine information and derive the best results even in the worst situations.

“I have four.”

And Han Hae-woon spread four fingers, pointing at himself, Jeong Hye-min, and the two instructors in front of the computer.

Understanding his intention, the instructors clung to both sides of Jeong Hye-min and started pulling.

“Director! Let’s go! Please!”

“Employee welfare! Employee welfare!”

After watching the instructors frantically shaking her from both sides, Jeong Hye-min nodded with a resigned expression.

“Ah, alright… Stop pulling. You’ll stretch out my clothes.”

“Then it’s settled. The tickets are for this Saturday.”

At Han Hae-woon’s words, the instructors tilted their heads in confusion.

“Huh? But the performances are only on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, aren’t they?”

“Ah, it’s a private performance only for invited acquaintances.”

“That’s, that’s amazing!”

Leaving behind the instructors who were jumping for joy, Han Hae-woon said he would go to the restroom for a moment and went outside.

Then, still wearing his Pilates tights, he respectfully put his hands together and made a call to someone.

– Yeah. What is it?

“Ah, Team Leader. I swear my loyalty. Is there any chance I could get two more tickets?”

– So you haven’t been loyal until now?

“Huh? No, that’s not what I meant.”

A chuckle was heard from the other end of the line, followed by a response.

– Alright. I’ll give you two more.

“Thank you! I pledge my loyalty!”

The news of the play “Mirror” caused a storm nowhere more than in the fan cafes of Ryu Yeon-woo and Jin Yu-han, as expected.

And then, news like rain in a drought was delivered.

– [Urgent Notice] Special Performance of “Mirror” for Fans

Hello everyone! This is Manager Yeo Nu-jina!

I’m posting this urgent notice because I have amazing news for our Woos!

We’ve received word that there will be a special performance every Saturday just for Woos.

The target audience is members of Ryu Yeon-woo’s fan cafe [Woos] and Jin Yu-han’s fan cafe [Jin Muhan].

You may have heard that scalped tickets for “Mirror” are being sold at high prices these days. To prevent related incidents in advance, please note that this is only for [active members with at least 3 months of membership].

As soon as the notice was posted, the fan cafe naturally turned into a cauldron of excitement.

– The best thing I’ve done in my life? Joining the fan cafe early

– I hit my forehead every time I wanted to see the play, and now my turtle neck is cured

– Waaah is this for real!!! If the play runs for about three months, that’s twelve special performances. This definitely has winning potential.

– Korea is surrounded by four seas: East Sea, West Sea, South Sea, and I Love Yeon-woo Sea

There were countless people who wanted tickets for the special performance.

And Yeon-woo received a call from one of them.

– Oppa!

“Uh, yes?”

Startled by the powerful lion’s roar, Yeon-woo briefly removed the smartphone from his ear before putting it back.

The owner of the lion’s roar was his younger sister, So-hyeon.

– I need tickets!

“I already gave you some. I told you to come with Mom and Dad.”

– No, I want to go with my friends too.

Yeon-woo shrugged his shoulders as if surprised by So-hyeon’s words.

“What’s this about? You’ve never been particularly interested in what I do.”

– Jin Yu-han oppa is in it.

Only then did Yeon-woo nod in understanding.

‘Ah, so that’s it.’

After checking the remaining tickets, he shook his head.

“The first week is already full, but I can give you about three tickets for the second Saturday.”

– Really?! Thank you!

“But you’re going into your senior year of high school. You should be studying.”

– Huh? Why does the signal seem to be getting worse?

Click─.

Looking at the smartphone after the call had ended, Yeon-woo shook his head.

Even after the first play, they met new audiences on Wednesdays and Fridays.

As the members continued to perform, their lines became more natural and their skills gradually improved.

And as reviews from the audience who had seen the play began to accumulate on the internet, there was one person who couldn’t laugh.

“Hey! Noh Sejun! Release a correction article right now.”

At the editor-in-chief’s words, Noh Sejun’s eyes narrowed.

“Editor-in-chief! It’s not wrong for a reporter to raise suspicions, and isn’t it a bit too much to issue a correction?”

In response, the editor-in-chief held out printed articles.

“Do you know what all these articles are? I want to throw them in your face right now, but I’m holding back.”

“Pardon?”

“These are articles tearing into our newspaper like a dog gnawing on a bone, seizing this opportunity.”

As Noh Sejun took the papers handed to him by the editor-in-chief and read them, they were articles condemning Noh Sejun and News 7 for publishing articles with a critical tone without even verifying the facts.

“But, they act like they’re not the ones who use sensational titles to get views! Why on earth…”

“Why, you ask?”

The editor-in-chief, glaring at Noh Sejun, opened his mouth again.

“Because it makes money. Because tearing you apart while siding with Ryu Yeon-woo makes more money. You pathetic bastard.”

Seeing the editor-in-chief glaring at him with blazing eyes, Noh Sejun hung his head low.

Looking at Noh Sejun like this, the editor-in-chief shook his head and sighed.

“If you got an exclusive, you should have been satisfied with that and worked on building a good relationship. Geez. Really.”

While Noh Sejun was reluctantly writing a belated correction article, a special Saturday performance was unfolding at the small theater of “New Star Theater Company”.

Yeon-woo’s family, as well as the families of the actors, Hong Yu-ri, and Han Hae-woon, came in and sat in the audience.

“Thanks to you, Prosecutor, we got to see the mirror too. Thank you so much!”

Han Hae-woon glanced at Jeong Hye-min beside him and conveyed his thanks to the instructors who came together.

“No, I’m the one who should be thankful.”

“But how did you get the theater tickets? And it’s not even a regular performance.”

“Oh, I happened to meet someone by chance while working.”

The Pilates instructors nodded and whispered to each other, looking at the person sitting in the front row.

“Teacher Min-ah. Isn’t that Son Jin-yuk sitting in front of us?”

“Really? Oh? I think you’re right. Wow!”

As they were chatting about various things, the lights illuminating the audience gradually dimmed, and the sound of a ship’s horn rang out.

And the audience was drawn into the performance that followed, as if about to be sucked in.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, the play ended with Yeon-woo’s narration.

And after finishing the commemorative photo shoot, the Pilates members left the theater with satisfied expressions.

“It was incredibly fun.”

“Ah, standing between Ryu Yeon-woo and Jin Yu-han for a photo, I’m so happy.”

As the instructors were checking the photos they had taken with each other, they looked around and asked Jeong Hye-min.

“Huh? Director. Where did the prosecutor go?”

“Oh, he said he’s having a brief conversation with the acquaintance who invited us, and he’ll be out in a bit.”

At that moment, Yeon-woo and Han Hae-woon were talking in a storage room on the third floor of the building.

Yeon-woo, skimming through the written report Han Hae-woon had brought, stroked his chin.

“You say Golden is meeting these people?”

“Yes. I double-checked.”

The file Yeon-woo was looking at contained details and profiles of Baek Sol’s agent, suspected to be codenamed ‘Golden’, meeting with major shareholders of LN Media.

“These people are all founding members who established the company with CEO Kim Joo-seong. Most of them have retired and only receive dividends, and until now, they had delegated their voting rights to CEO Kim Joo-seong.”

Currently, LN Media’s CEO Kim Joo-seong held 38 percent, and the directors who had delegated their authority to CEO Kim Joo-seong held 13 percent, giving Kim Joo-seong a total of 51 percent voting rights.

However, in the photos Yeon-woo was looking at, the major shareholders holding that 13 percent were sitting together with the agent codenamed ‘Golden’.

And sitting among them was one more person.

Baek Sol’s person who had followed them all the way to LA to cause trouble.

“James Choi. This person originally worked as a specialist in hostile M&A for companies in the United States, and was said to be an expert in proxy fights.”

Han Hae-woon nodded at Yeon-woo’s words.

A proxy fight is the process of obtaining voting rights held by shareholders to secure one’s own voice at the shareholders’ meeting.

And in this case, the purpose was obvious.

“It seems they’re planning to oust CEO Kim Joo-seong from LN and install James Choi in his place.”

“Hmm.”

It seemed there might be a way to use this to deal a significant blow to Baek Sol.
