7,000 Pairs of Safety Shoes: A Challenge with a Different Start
The challenge to sell 7,000 pairs of safety shoes for the company's resurgence was depicted in episode 6 of the tvN weekend drama 'Typhoon Corporation,' featuring Kang Tae-poong (Lee Jun-ho) and Oh Mi-sun (Kim Min-ha).
Despite feeling burdened by the enormous quantity, the two showed a burning passion for marketing.
Although the company atmosphere was stagnant, Tae-poong and Mi-sun moved forward with the determination that they “had to do it.” The process of challenging themselves with their skills and pride, beyond simply selling products, was portrayed with sincerity.
The broadcast heightened immersion by depicting the reality of overcoming the initial skepticism that it ‘couldn’t be done’.
From Glass Shards to Flames... The 'Chair Performance' Exploded
The first marketing strategy was creating a groundbreaking promotional video.
Tae-poong physically demonstrated the durability of the safety shoes in a dark and obviously dangerous construction site.
He fearlessly jumped onto a floor covered with broken glass shards and showcased the so-called 'chair performance,' leaping over chairs as if flying through the air.
The sight of him passing through a site engulfed in flames created tension for viewers. It was, in a word, 'promotion by throwing himself into it'.
The completed video was distributed to overseas trading companies in videotape format. When Mi-sun expressed doubt, Tae-poong confidently said, “A world where people buy things by watching videos is sure to come. Once they see our product, they can’t help but buy it,” demonstrating a forward-thinking sense.
Finally Shining: Mi-sun's Presentation Skills, Thanks to Her English Major
After the video, the baton was passed to Oh Mi-sun.
Mi-sun, who had been dedicated to studying English with the goal of becoming a trading company employee, succeeded in securing an overseas buyer.
On the day of the meeting, she captivated the other party with a fluent business English presentation.
It was a moment that proved her efforts had not been in vain.
Inside the company, it was as if they were seeing a ray of hope, and viewers also held their breath, waiting for the meeting results.
The overseas buyer's serious reaction symbolically showed Typhoon Corporation's new possibilities and direction.
“Thank You, Thank You!” Overwhelmed with Emotion from a Single Phone Call
After a desperate wait, an opportunity finally came when the overseas buyer called.
Mi-sun, who answered the phone, repeatedly said “Thank you” and couldn’t hide her joy, exclaiming to Tae-poong, who was next to her, “I think it’s happening! What do I do!”
The two were excited as if they had witnessed the opening of a door to their future, and that atmosphere was conveyed to the viewers.
The profound emotion that only comes from the moment when a sale is actually made, and the excitement of a dream coming true, flowed beyond the screen.
The drama depicts the characters' growth in more depth here.
Reporting the First Achievement to His Deceased Father
Back in the president's office, Tae-poong tried to calmly suppress his emotions, but he couldn't hide his overwhelming feelings.
He stroked a photo of his deceased father, Kang Jin-young (Sung Dong-il), and whispered, “Dad, I sold something for the first time. Why do I feel so good?”
This scene carries a meaning beyond a simple sale.
It contains the desire to follow in his father's footsteps, pride in his own growth, and a sense of responsibility.
Tae-poong's emotional gaze warms the hearts of viewers.
In the end, this challenge to sell out was a huge turning point not only for the company but also for Tae-poong's personal narrative.
