In the 6th episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 『The Story of Manager Kim who works at a large company in Seoul』, which aired on the 9th, Kim Nak-soo (Ryu Seung-ryong), who continued various attempts to return to the headquarters, will eventually stand in front of the extreme choice of life or death at the company. On this day, the broadcast continued the craze for "Chief Kim's Story" with a 5.6% viewership rating in the metropolitan area and 4.7% nationwide (based on Nielsen Korea's paid households).
After being demoted to the factory, Kim Nak-su, who hoped for the advice of his senior who rose to the executive level, `Do your headquarters homework hotly,' was deeply frustrated, however, as no contact was received from the headquarters. He even created a nightmare of being turned away by his family and colleagues and realized the wall of reality. Then came Baek Jung-tae (played by Yoo Seung-mok)'s proposal for dinner, and Kim Nak-soo sought an opportunity to make up for it by starting an educational report and safety inspection. But "I'm just feeling like I'm workingAlong with Baek Sang-moo's cool evaluation, the accumulated emotions exploded and even fought at the restaurant, shattering hope.
Choi Jae-hyuk (Lee Hyun-kyun), head of the personnel team, came to the Asan plant even on the weekend to Kim Nak-soo, who was disappointed, and delivered the headquarters mission to select 20 people according to the reduction of the total number of ACT groups. Kim Nak-su's promise to return to the headquarters if he handles this well is ahead of another brutal decision to let his colleagues go to survive. Kim Nak-soo's anguish reached its peak when the HR team leader added "The voluntary retirement announcement will also come out soon."
Employees still take lightly of Kim Nak-su and ignore orders, but Kim Nak-su overwhelmed the scene with a firm and cool-headed attitude unlike before, raising tensions over his decision. Viewers are paying keen attention to whether Kim Nak-su will choose to cut off 20 colleagues to return to the headquarters.
Meanwhile, Kim Soo-gyeom (played by Cha Kang-yoon) faces another survival crisis as he is caught up in a fraud and takes on a debt of 30 million won. The moment of choice for Ryu Seung-ryong's family's life will follow in the seventh episode of JTBC 'The Story of Manager Kim' at 10:40 p.m. on the 15th.
