Park Bo-kyung questions Lee Jun-hyuk over budget in Lotto
In the fifth and sixth episodes of the television series ‘Even Lotto Winners Go to Work’, broadcast on tvN and available via TVING, Department Head Park Hyun-sook, portrayed by actress Park Bo-kyung, addresses a major budgetary infraction committed by team member Gong Eun-taek, played by actor Lee Jun-hyuk, during international negotiations in Mantova, Italy.
Budget Overruns and Executive Responsibility in Mantova Negotiations
Gong Eun-taek explains his decision as an attempt to maintain commercial ties with former team member Jeong Seon-hyeok, played by Oh Dae-hwan, while securing revenue for the company.
Park Hyun-sook acknowledges Gong Eun-taek’s underlying commercial intent, yet immediately challenges the execution of the transaction. Addressing the unilateral financial decision, Park Hyun-sook asks, “Do you think it’s right for a team leader to make that kind of decision alone?” Before pressing the issue further, Park Hyun-sook accepts managerial accountability, stating, “It’s my responsibility for sending you to Mantova.” Following the discussion, Park Hyun-sook orders that all purchase orders originating from Sales Team 5 require direct reporting and formal approval.
Addressing the relational dynamics of the corporate fallout, Park Hyun-sook asks Gong Eun-taek, “Do you think Team Leader Jeong will be grateful to you?” Through this query, Park Hyun-sook highlights that an employee’s calculation of mutual benefit may differ substantially from how the affected individual actually experiences the outcome.
Clerical Errors and Sales Acceleration in Episode 6
The operational challenges continue in the sixth episode of ‘Even Lotto Winners Go to Work’, when Sales Team 5 processes an order for Lacrnes, erroneously recording a 3억 원 scale order batch as 30억 원. To mitigate the severe administrative and inventory discrepancy, the team redirects the incoming surplus to a shoe select shop currently preparing inventory and builds a sales strategy utilizing a modeling contract with actress Yoo Ji-hyun.
Broadcast data indicates that following the implementation of this corrective retail strategy, Lacrnes sales increased by 1,400 percent compared to the previous month.
Expanded Responsibilities and Supervisory Oversight
Following the successful sales recovery, Gong Eun-taek receives recognition and is assigned additional auditing duties within Sales Department 2. When Park Hyun-sook asks, “Can you do well?”, Gong Eun-taek responds, “I will work hard.” Rejecting the sufficiency of mere effort at his career level, Park Hyun-sook advises him, “You have to work hard. Doing well is a given,” emphasizing the necessary operational mindset required for corporate auditing.
Throughout the broadcasted narrative, Park Bo-kyung utilizes distinct communicative shifts, employing concise, pointed inquiries when investigating questionable decisions, while adopting a measured, reflective tone when guiding staff members into expanded supervisory roles.
The series airs every Monday and Tuesday at 9:00 PM on tvN, with streaming access provided through TVING. Written by Seo Jung-min for bntnews, the production maps out corporate hierarchy, workflow oversight, and accountability in contemporary South Korean office environments.
