Director Kang Shin-hyo knew that Lee Sang-hyuk had been busy with the e-sports industry recently, so he took the opportunity of Lee Sang-hyuk to join the group this time, and very understandingly asked Lee Sang-hyuk to shoot some scenes of his character in the play that didn't require too much location layout, and Lee Sang-hyuk was naturally very grateful for this.

It took Lee Sang-hyuk to join the crew for about three days this time, and it wasn't until his character's current roles in this drama were almost filmed, and the rest were some scenes that required special location arrangements, that he said goodbye to the whole crew and the crew actors who had played a lot with him in the past three days and left the crew.

In the past three days, some actors in the crew have also left a lot of impressions on Lee Sang-hyuk, such as Kim Woo-bin, who plays the second male, Kim Woo-bin's appearance often gives people a strong feeling full of rebellion, which is very consistent with the temperament of the second male Choi Young-do he played in the play.

But after three days of getting along, Lee Sang-hyuk found that Kim Woo-bin, who has a cold appearance, is actually a very good talker, and like Rain, he also has a strong interest in e-sports.

Although Lee Sang-hyuk and Kim Woo-bin have been together for a short time, the two who seem to have a big personality gap from their appearances have become friends with good relations, and they have left each other's private numbers.

As for the rest of the crew, Lee Sang-hyuk didn't pay much attention to him, Park Shin-hye gave him a good impression, and he was usually a playful and cute girl-next-door image in the crew, not to mention the male number one Lee Min Ho, Lee Sang-hyuk's impression of him was still at the level of the four words "very tall and handsome". In private, there is no contact.

Zheng Xiujing was reluctant when Lee Sang-hyuk left the crew, and Lee Sang-hyuk had to secretly take advantage of the time when no one was around. Leng Buding kissed her lightly on the door of the head, which made Xiujing, who was originally "reluctant", become "ashamed" Xiujing

After leaving the crew and returning to Gwangju. Lee Sang-hyuk used his spare time to start the selection of the club with the help of S.M.

At the second board meeting of S.M., Lee so-man strongly supported the investment in the e-sports club, and Director Kim Yeon-jung, the producer of Lee Sang-hyuk's first MAD, also expressed his support at the meeting. Eventually, with the exception of a few more conservative directors, the position of the others began to waver, and finally the decision was made to invest in the esports club with a majority of the vote.

Lee Sang-hyuk also knew some inside stories of the company more or less from Kim so-jin, and he had to be impressed by Lee so-man's strength again, and at the same time he was a little happy in his heart. After all, it is indeed not easy for such a strong Li Xiuman to make concessions on the controlling stake in the last meeting.

In terms of the location of the club base, after the selection and comparison of various conditions, the final location of the club base was still set in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. This is a famous e-sports area in South Korea, and many clubs are based here, and Lee Sang-hyuk has set the club here in order to facilitate training with other clubs in the future.

The name of the club was eventually agreed upon by S.M. as "Eternal.S.M.Entertainment". Abbreviated as "ESM".

Lee Sang-hyuk is understandable about naming this, after all, many clubs in South Korea are named after their sponsors, which is also a way for people to increase the company's popularity.

And after all this is settled, the club's recruitment has not yet been decided. Lee Sang-hyuk received a call from Kim so-jin, saying that a Chinese player was looking for him and wanted to join his club.

"Chinese players?" Lee Sang-hyuk had a slight doubt in his heart. But from Kim so-jin's description, a person quickly appeared in his mind.

Uzi？

Didn't he say he went to KT? Lee Sang-hyuk still had some doubts in his heart. With such doubts, Lee Sang-hyuk asked Kim so-jin to help him choose a time and place to meet the other party.

Ultimately. The two met at a barbecue restaurant in Seoul.

Looking at the little fat man in front of him who was "gobbling up" in front of him, Lee Sang-hyuk couldn't help but sigh again, this is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow.

When it was learned from Uzi's intermittent words that KT had screened Uzi out of the starting position of AD because of some things, Lee Sang-hyuk's heart was secretly happy.

KT may have thought that the young Chinese AD player's stunning performance at last year's OGN exhibition event might have been just a brief glimpse, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Although the Korean media gave a "no loss to Imp" evaluation because of Uzi's strong performance against Imp last time, with SSW winning the All-Star championship again, the honor of champion AD naturally makes Imp's popularity and people's evaluation of him even better.

After all, in the field of e-sports, winning the championship is the best illustration.

However, only Lee Sang-hyuk knew in his heart how much potential and strength this chubby kid in front of him had.

In a previous life, someone once made up a dialogue joke to ridicule Uzi and Imp, the two world's top AD players, to the effect that it was like this.

Imp asks Uzi: Why are you always the runner-up?

Uzi replied: Then let's replace our teammates.

A year later, Imp was eliminated from the group stage

Although this joke is relatively large, it also shows Uzi's strength that has been affirmed by many people

In the face of Uzi's request to join, Lee Sang-hyuk naturally agreed without surprise, but there was no big problem in terms of transfer fees.

You know, the value of a player is often directly proportional to the honor he won in the competition, Uzi came to South Korea from China alone, only showed his head in last year's exhibition match, and then was signed by KT Club, so his value is naturally not too high.

However, for Lee Sang-hyuk, even if Uzi is currently a first-line e-sports star, as long as KT is willing to transfer, Lee Sang-hyuk, who has received S.M's capital injection, will not hesitate to sign him, after all, only Lee Sang-hyuk knows how valuable Uzi is in his heart.

After Uzi and KT terminated the contract, he naturally moved out of KT's base, and the current decoration of the ESM base is not good, and it will probably be completed next week, so Lee Sang-hyuk arranged Uzi, who had no place to stay outside, to his residence in Seoul, anyway, he usually doesn't live there much.
