Once Upon A Time in Seoul

They all have a meeting in the conference room. They talked about the result of the creative process undertaken by Mayu's team. They had created a title, a teaser, and an article for the following exhibit by Hwan. 


"We need to do a photo shoot to feature Hwan," Madame Choi said in front. "We'll be creating posters to be posted on our website, our social media platforms, and also, brochures to be distributed outside the museum." 


They all nodded, agreeing with her plans. 


"And also." Madame Choic picked up a bunch of brochures on the desk. "Han Deok-sun will be having an exhibit at Daeyang Museum starting this Saturday." 


She handed over the brochures to everyone in the room. 


"We are gladly invited," Madame Choi said. 


Mayu looked at the brochure; she frowned while seeing morbid and frightening artwork. Madame Choi saw her expression and said, "Yes, his artwork is controversial." 


Madame Choi looked at everybody and said, "If you don't have questions, we're done."
