138 – Experience Team
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you all for your hard work!”
I came out of the filming set yawning and stretching.
Today I came to shoot a commercial for QTube that I had planned to shoot before.
Wow, I came to film a mobile phone advertisement for Samsung, Korea’s No. 1 Manufacturing company.
At first, I thought I would refuse, but CEO Arawa suggested that I give it a try.
We are filming because Samsoong has placed a huge condition on us.
“Seonghwan, are you okay right now?”
“Oh, Chief. I’m fine.”
The manager of Samsung Electronics, who was helping with today’s filming, handed me a towel.
Maybe because it was a CF with a lot of movement, there was a little sweat on my forehead, but that was a good thing.
I wiped her forehead with the towel the manager gave me and hung it around her neck.
“Whoa…”
“Please sit here.”
“Ah, thank you.”
After hearing the manager tell me to sit down and rest, I said thank you and sat down in the chair.
She has been standing for so long that the soles of her feet hurt.
“This is the end of filming. Did you come by car?”
“I got the CEO’s car and came here.”
I tried to bring my own car, but Yoo Seong-hwan said he had dignity and couldn’t send him in his own car, so he came in a large van with the CEO.
It was similar to the high-ceiling van that Ara used to ride.
There is a TV and a game console inside…
This must be the vehicle the CEO uses, right?
“Then, would you like us to give you a ride when you go back?”
“No, my wife said she would wait in the parking lot.”
“Wow.. Are you Song Ara? I guess you have something different with her husband?”
“Ahahahaha…I listen to it often.”
Although Ara has good manners and a good reputation, she does not show a caring side to others.
Of course, she shows it to the CEO and her group members.
“It’s no different. I called you to take care of this for you.”
“Ah, that’s what you promised.”
She received the paper bag handed to her by the manager.
Inside, there are accessories such as square boxes and cases that are wrapped in plastic and have not yet been opened.
“It’s Note 9.”
“Really? It hasn’t even been released yet.”
“It has already received radio wave certification and is ready for use. You can use it normally.”
“Huh? Just normal?”
“Anyway, leaked photos have already been distributed internally, and things like case specifications are also being circulated.”
“Aha…As expected, that’s what the company spreads.”
“It’s similar to Seonghwan’s agency distributing video captures of Seonghwan on community sites.”
“Anyway, thank you. I’ll use it well.”
“Instead, you must not lose it until the unpack video is released.”
“I won’t lose it.”
“Seonghwan, what is that?”
“This? It’s Note 9.”
“Huh? We haven’t even started pre-ordering for that yet?”
“hahahaha, I thought they would give me a tablet PC too, but they gave me this.”
“Wow… I wouldn’t normally give something like this to an outsider…”
The CEO was also amazed as he looked inside the paper bag and began to be amazed.
No matter how much you do, you can’t get over this.
Because I plan to use it as my main phone from now on.

“Hmmm….”
When I arrived home and sat down on the sofa, I took out the cell phone box and the accompanying paper from the paper bag.
The paper had a lot of information related to the experience group listed, and that once the experience group activity was over, the ownership of the cell phone would be completely mine.
It says that there is an additional item to be given away.
“First of all, use phone calls and text messages once a day… This is not difficult.”
Because I use text messages and calls a lot, I have also changed my cell phone plan to a more expensive one.
There is absolutely no reason not to do this.
“And…Taking photos more than 5 times a week? This isn’t a bad thing either.”
It doesn’t matter because I take pictures of Ara often.
I’m currently working on a project to fill a 1 tera hard drive with all of Ara’s photos.
“If there is a problem with your phone and you need to repair it, go to the head office, not the service center…”
Because it was a mobile phone with 3 months left until its release, there were quite a few questions to be careful about.
It was a little annoying, but I got it for free, so I have to protect it.
“Then finally, the long-awaited mobile phone…”
I took a cutter knife, cut the seal, and opened the box.
A cell phone was immediately visible inside, and a charger and earphones were visible underneath the cell phone.
“Now that I think about it, Samsung also said he would remove the earphone jack, but it stayed there.”
Apple’s mobile phones have eliminated the earphone jack since version 7.
As if to answer consumers’ questions about how on earth they listen to music, they are receiving strange comments by releasing expensive Bluetooth earphones.
“Compared to that, Sam Soong is also Sam Soong Pay… And there’s an earphone jack…”
It seems that Apple phones also have Apple Pay or something, but it is not possible to use it in Korea.
They say this is because the contact payment method is EMV, but Korean card payment machines are said to be MST/NFC, not EMV.
So, it is virtually impossible to use in Korea.
In the end, it is meaningless.
In that respect, Samsoong’s smartphone can be seen as a smartphone optimized for use in Korea.
“First, plug in the charger…”
From Noble mtl dot com
I turned it on, but the battery was almost empty, so I plugged it into the charger.
Usually, the battery of a smartphone is slightly charged for initial setup, but this does not seem to be the case.
It’s almost time for Ara to come, so I guess I should prepare lunch.
“Tskcha….”
These days, I don’t feel anything like orthostatic hypotension.
It must be proof that your body has become stronger.
Eating together every day seems to have made me feel better.
“First of all, let’s give the little fish some food first.”
“Woof!”
Kkomulgi responded to the sound of rice and ran into the living room and started acting cute.
Wow, cute guy.

“Seonghwan, your ad has started appearing on QTube.”
“Already?”
When I looked at Ara’s cell phone, there was a picture of me walking while holding the cell phone.
At that time, when I was filming, I was embarrassed to hold my phone and talk to myself in an empty place, but when I saw the background and music combined like this,
Surprisingly, I started to feel like it was okay.
“Not bad, right?”
“It’s fascinating. After all, the best experts are different.”
Our company’s editing team is no joke, they are experts, but they probably can’t beat the editing team of Korea’s No. 1 Company in the world.
It is truly a composition without any awkwardness.
“To make a video like this, dozens of people need to come together.”
“Is it that much?”
“Then, just by looking at your down payment, you can get an accurate estimate.”
Honestly, I don’t remember the down payment part because I only read it roughly.
This is because I have faith that the company will handle it well anyway.
“You read the contract carefully and signed it, right?”
“Of course. I’m not that foolish.”
“Hmm…Really?”
“It’s true. You can ask the manager about anything.”
“Of course they will say that I spoke well. Okay, I’ll believe you this time.”
But even though it was my first time, Ara patted my head and praised me, saying I did a good job.
I buried Ara’s face in her chest and rubbed her cheek, as if making her laugh.
“That’s right. I heard from the CEO, she said she received a gift?”
“Yes. I’m not using it yet, but I’m going to use it now.”
I showed Ara the Note 9 that had been left on the table with its charger plugged in.
Ara has now become accustomed to Samsung Pay and has become corrupted to the point where it is difficult to use anything other than Samsung’s phone.
“But this is your first cell phone?”
“This is a mobile phone scheduled to be released in August.”
“So, you’re saying they gave me a smartphone that hasn’t even been announced yet?”
“Yes, it’s fascinating, isn’t it?”
There is no way the manager acted alone, and isn’t this an action that has already affected the payment of his superiors?
I don’t know if the Chairman knows.
“You won’t get caught up in something strange for no reason, right?”
“Because of one cell phone?”
“Hmm… It’s a different company, but I heard of someone who went to trial for carrying around a pre-release prototype.”
“I said you can use it freely.”
Instead, I just told them not to lose it.
Did I say it would be a bit difficult if I lost it?
“Then it’ll be okay. Can I touch you too?”
“Of course. Here.”
I handed Note 9 to Ara and lay down on her bed.
I had already touched a lot of things and knew roughly what they all felt like, so I lost interest.
“Ah, it’s nice that the notebook has a pen as expected.”
“Do you miss Note 3?”
“No, I don’t miss that… I miss the pen.”
“Then, do you want to just use it?”
“Is that okay? I got it as a gift.”
Ara’s startled eyes showed a bit of anticipation.
Although it hasn’t been that long since Ara changed her smartphone, she certainly misses the pen on her notebook once in a while.
Considering that she used to draw pictures once in a while, you wonder if it’s natural.
“I’m fine, so you can use it. I’ll insert a SIM card for you.”
“Ugh…Is it really okay to take it?”
“Uh-huh. My husband gave it to me, so just take it.”
“…Okay, thank you, Seonghwan.”
“What? Instead, I’ll have a sister.”
“I’m already yours?”
“That’s right.”
If other people had heard this, they would have been annoyed by the conversation, but to us, it just became a normal conversation.
I changed Ara’s SIM card while stroking her grateful head, and then laid down on her bed again.
I will change it when it is released.
