In the first episode of the new tvN weekend drama 'Teppun Trading', which started airing in Korea on the 11th, the death of Kang Jinyoung (Song Dong-il) and Kang Teppun's (Lee Junho) figure standing before the storm are depicted. Jinyoung, who runs Teppun Trading, was doing well enough to give special bonuses to employees. At that time, a phone rang, and Jinyoung was to receive an enormous proposal. While all the employees cheered, he showed signs of worry, saying, 'Tevan Textile might be too much for me.' Cha Sung-taek (Kim Jae-hwa) was filled with joy, saying, 'It's in the hundreds of millions.' Jinyoung asked Oh Mison (Kim Min-ha) for her opinion on the Tevan Textile contract, and Mison advised against it, stating, 'It's too large a burden. It's a structure of exchanging financial interest and margin.' However, joy was short-lived as dark clouds gathered over Teppun Trading. When Jinyoung arrived at the company, he expressed regret, saying, 'I just stopped by the bank. It seems the promissory note received from Kison Chemical last month has bounced. Everyone, this month's salary might be a bit late.' He added, 'I used all the money I have to pay our suppliers, so things have become a bit tight. I will do my best to ensure salaries are not delayed. I'm sorry,' bowing his head in apology. Ultimately, Jinyoung collapsed in the president's office and had to be hospitalized. Teppun was by his father's side but received news that friends were in danger at a nightclub and briefly stepped out. However, he soon realized it was a scheme by Pyo Hyun-jun (Mu Jin-sung) and was urged by Wang Nam-mo (Kim Min-seok) to hurry to the hospital, sensing something was wrong. Upon arriving at the hospital, Teppun learned of his father's death and was left in shock. At that moment, the news reported on national debt default.
