Actress Park Bo-kyung, playing Sales Team General Manager Park Hyun-sook in ‘Even First-Prize Lottery Winners Go to Work,’ calls out the unilateral decision made by Gong Eun-tae, played by Lee Jun-hyuk.
Park Hyun-sook says that although the results are recognized, a choice made by bypassing the approval process still carries responsibility.
In a story involving successive transaction and ordering mistakes, Park Bo-kyung’s role is portrayed as a manager who examines the process as closely as the team’s results.
3-Line Summary
1. Park Bo-kyung demanded responsibility rather than focusing on results
2. The amount exceeded the approved sum by 90 ten-thousand euros
3. Results and procedures must be considered together
A Transaction Exceeding the Approved Amount: Park Hyun-sook’s Question
In episode 5 of ‘Even First-Prize Lottery Winners Go to Work,’ Park Hyun-sook receives a report that Gong Eun-tae decided on a transaction exceeding the approved amount by 90 ten-thousand euros during negotiations with the Italian city of Mantua. Gong Eun-tae explains that he tried both to avoid ending the transaction handled by the now-resigned Jeong Seon-hyeok and to preserve company sales.
Park Hyun-sook does not immediately reject his intention. However, she takes issue with exceeding the budget without prior approval and asks whether a team leader is allowed to make such a decision alone. It is a scene showing that achieving results does not, by itself, erase procedural responsibility.
Park Hyun-sook also acknowledges her own responsibility for sending Gong Eun-tae to Mantua. She then instructs him to personally review and obtain approval for all orders from Sales Team 5. Rather than merely reprimanding a subordinate’s judgment, the scene also reveals the manager’s decision and the scope of her control.
She also asks Gong Eun-tae whether Jeong Seon-hyeok would appreciate that choice. It is a scene pointing out that Gong Eun-tae’s judgment—that it was a choice benefiting everyone—and the outcome as accepted by the parties to the transaction may not be the same.
An Ordering Error in Which 3억 원 Was Entered as 30억 원
In episode 6, Sales Team 5 experiences an incident in which the additional order quantity for Lacness is incorrectly entered as 30억 원 instead of 3억 원. The team connects the already-arrived inventory with shoe select shops preparing for it and develops a sales strategy using actor Yoo Ji-hyun’s modeling contract.
The broadcast introduces Lacness sales as having increased by 1400% compared with the previous month. Gong Eun-tae is recognized for his results and is also assigned audit duties for Sales Division 2. Park Hyun-sook asks Gong Eun-tae, who has taken on the new assignment, whether he can do well, and advises him, “You have to work hard. Doing well is a given.”
A bnt News report published on Daum said that Park Bo-kyung’s performance pinpointed the core of the interrogation scene through short questions and offered calm advice on attitude to a character taking on a new assignment. In an interview with Women’s Donga, Park Bo-kyung previously said that she wanted to become an actress with a strong presence rather than a flashy person. In this episode, Park Hyun-sook remains a character who praises results as a superior while also asking who receives those results and what consequences they bring.
