China is famous for its size is beyond imagination in any field. In addition to various industries, including the industry, the sports category corresponding to the Olympic sport is large. The entertainment industry also went in and out of digits.
But there was a chronic problem. Although large, but the quality was not high.
"Women are a little hot but… It's not enough yet. 10 times bigger than Korea, because the grade is the shape. "
Literally terrible results, not even one player in the world ranking 100. That was the reality of Chinese men's tennis. Somehow, the championship cup of the tournament is different on the subject of using the huge capital to hold the ATP tour.
I was following the humiliation handed over to the players of the country.
In addition, many Chinese still have Chinese thoughts in the 21st century. Believing they are the center of the world, the installation has reduced the number of polar seeds, but it still has pride in the corner of the mind.
By the way, do you hand over your own competitions to other players in other countries? Obviously, I was feeling too humiliated.
'So you put Hanwoojin in the seed.'
Even though the League of Tennis is a worldwide organization, it is impossible to completely ignore the influence of the region where the competition is held. China probably had Hanwoojin and other Asian players on the seed first.
Although there are two Japanese players, both of them are less well ranked and better than Hanwoojin. If it weren't for the tournament, the seed and the qualifiers would be unclear. It was hard to hope for them.
Ha Jung-woo decided to look forward to the last remaining Korean player, Han Woo-jin. There was no other choice anyway.
It was then.
"Ha CP!"
"… Yes, what's up? "
Ha Jung-woo, who was in the middle of the thought, turned his head, frowning at the suddenly heard Goseong. However, Kim PD, the origin of the talk, did not care. Because the matter he brought was serious enough.
"Park Sung-jin commentator contacted."
"Park Sung-jin? K-League doesn't have a lot of games right now and there's no need for commentators. "
"Yes, so… "
Kim PD stopped talking there. To run away from the distance was to stop the breath.
But from the perspective of Ha Jung-woo, who was listening, why did he want to be moxa? Park Sung-jin had a high level among commentators, and he was knowledgeable enough to be active in various sports such as soccer and baseball. One of the most expensive commentators,
There is a reason.
When he talked out, most large numbers were passed down. Even if the game is not funny, only Sung Sungjin had the sound that there was no fun.
Kim PD, who had just managed to breathe, said.
"You're asking if you're going to broadcast this time in Shenzhen, MBS? If you had a schedule, CP asked me to call you. "
"… Good job Oh, I will arrange the rest of the commentators myself. Kim PD, please go to the list of cameras and reporters to send to China. "
"Oh, I see."
This is an opportunity.
Ha Jung-woo smiled as soon as Kim PD turned around.
This will make things easier. Among the commentators, Park Sung-jin, who had a high name, would have been difficult to have other commentators.
This floor was originally. It was a world in which the popularity and senior junior relationship influenced the appearance of broadcasting. I would have cursed me if it was normal, but I did not mind if it was a situation that would benefit me.
He quickly picked up the cell phone he had put in his suit pocket. The number of several commentators on the corner of the contact popped up on the phone screen. Ha Jung-woo immediately pressed the call button as soon as he found Park's phone number.
Hearing a few moments of call, and soon afterwards a voice began to be heard from the cell phone.
"Ha Jung-woo CP of MBS Sports Channel. Are you a Park Sung-jin commentator? "
[Oh, your contact is quick. I was waiting for you.]
Fortunately, Park's commentator didn't feel bad. Rather, Ha Jung-woo seemed willing to contact you.
"I heard that you asked about relaying propaganda open. Are you interested in being a commentator? "
[I was waiting for it because of that. I heard that Hanwoojin is going to play in this exhibition. Is that a sure story?]
"Yes, I heard a confirmation from the association today."
Ha Jung-woo was a little excited. A positive answer has returned and half has already been eaten. If Park Sung-jin will give you a thousand horses.
[Leave one seat empty. Buy me a ticket for your flight. If it's CP, isn't that difficult?]
"Sure. I will cut it off tomorrow morning. "
[Huh, it's fast. This is why HaCP is good.]
The two hung up while sharing haha stories. The elated Ha Jung-woo shook her contact number immediately to arrange the next commentator. Then one man's name caught his eye. In the top 3 of the usual annoying characters
It was the name of the narrator to go.
The call did not connect until after about 30 seconds of pressing the call button. He once coughed up, trimmed his voice and opened his mouth.
"Ha Jung-woo of MBS Sports Channel."
[Oh, it's Ha CP. What happened?]
The voice of the arrogant feeling comes out at once.
The other person was rumored to be a poor character among commentators. One of the three commentators who relayed the finals of the Seoul Open last time was Yoon Ki-chan.
Ha Jung-woo would have been talking to his opponent as if he could not see as usual, but the story was different today. As long as you have a powerful card called Park Sung-jin, you just had to close your head.
"Do you remember Hanwoojin player? The player will play in the Chinese ATP League two days later. I would like to know if Yoon Ki-chan, the commentator, would be able to take a seat.
[Hanwoojin… Oh, the rookie that beat Kim Hyung-soo! I remember. But it's already a second ATP, I think it's a little urgent.]
Talking around without making an immediate reply makes the other person impatient. Whenever Yoon Gi-chan circumvented the refusal, he scratched the inside of Ha Jung-woo. If you don't like it, you just don't like it.
to be.
But today Ha Jung-woo threw first. Park Seong-jin was in charge of the central seat, because there were a lot of commentators to fill the place even if not Yoon Ki-chan.
"Well, are you tired? Too bad. If Yoon Ki-chan, the commentator, comes, you only need one more person. "
[…] Did you get one already? Your name?]
The voice was cut off for a while to see if the planting was uncomfortable. I'm proud that I had a commentator who had contact with me before I was very strong and proud.
Ha Jung-woo paused for three seconds and responded by acting out his voice.
"Park Sung-Jin was a commentator."
[…] … .]
And one more commentator for the Shenzhen Open was filled.
Ha Jung-woo happily wandered the station with his cell phone in his arms and humming his hum.
When football and baseball lost their heat for a while, the broadcasting station got hot due to the tennis craze.

Is there an image that clearly comes to mind in China?
Honestly, for Koreans, China was not a good country. And he had no choice but to do so. It wasn't one or two of the elements that made the impression go away.
A country that doesn't know how to take pictures.
A country with a very dirty population.
A dirty country full of yellow dust and other pollution.
A country that has bothered the Korean Peninsula since 6.25.
So of course, Koreans' eyes are not good.
Han Woo-jin, who had completed the curriculum as well as Shin Se-yeon, who attended a prestigious university with international education, had such an image.
However, they could see that their image today is not all of China.
"… It's much bigger than Seyeon explained. "
"Iknow, right. Although it was designated as a special economic zone, it was known as a farming area until the '80s. . "
Shenzhen, located in Guangdong, China, was a large city that was not only incredibly advanced but also had an airport named after the city. Although it is quite a distance from the city center, there are only a few airports in Korea that have international flights.
It was amazing to think that it was June.
The heights of the towering buildings did not fall at all compared to the center of Seoul, and the vehicles coming and going and the hangings on the buildings decorated the urban landscape. I reversed the image of China that I thought was uncivilized
It was a landscape to put.
Because there was a bus running directly from the airport to the city center, the two did not have to find a car. Han Woo-jin and Shin Se-yeon, who were watching the magnificent view of the city of Shenzhen, noticed that the new bus arrived at the stop.
The neatly dressed people and the smoothly maintained roads showed a developed country. The two decided to move around looking at the map of Shenzhen, which had been printed on the printer several times.
"First, go to the reception desk. The Shenzhen Open is a bit far away from the venue, so it's hard to hear today.
She waved at the taxi, which was passing by casually. Then the taxi jerked the stop, squeaking, and the two pushed themselves into the car with an exotic smell.
"Please go to the place shown here."
""Okay-.""
Although Chinese differs from region to region, it is the same. Shinseyeon's Chinese was as fluent as locals, and even taxi drivers could not feel awkward.
A taxi carrying two Koreans headed for the destination across a very busy road in Shenzhen.
The cab stopped its wheels among countless buildings. The building marked on the map seemed to be this neighborhood.
The two men paid a taxi for the money they had exchanged beforehand, and did not hesitate to step inside the building. As I kept looking, I was adapted to the splendid scenery of propaganda. When I opened the front door, cool air leaked out of the building.
Huung.
"윽, Seyeon. What's this smell like before? "
Han Woo-jin finally frowned at the smell of tickling his nose since he entered Shenzhen, China. You may not know if you are insensitive, but he was quite sensitive to smell. Besides, outside of the building, what was not felt by the wind
As soon as I came in, it became intense.
Shin Se-yeon nodded as if he understood the reaction while laughing.
"China is one of the countries with a very strong scent. If you don't get used to it, you can't eat properly. In the case of octagonal incense, some people feel like the smell of cigarettes. "
"… That's scary. "
For nonsmokers, the smell of cigarettes is worse than smoke. Not many smokers dislike cigarettes. Is that from food? I was fortunate if I didn't even get nausea before I took a spoon.
Shin Se-yeon laughed round and round beside Hanwoo-jin, who hastened to walk with an awkward face.
It doesn't take one eyebrow for a while. It was a shame that I felt close to you. It meant that it was enough to show such a defenseless face.
The building, which was seemingly stupid, was huge inside. After the first floor, filled with elevators, lobby and halls, the two arrived at the reception desk on the second floor.
And they were able to meet a figure they didn't think of there.
It was Hanwoojin who first recognized him. Frowned by the strange smell that filled the building, he saw a familiar face and opened his mouth to make a sound.
"uh?"
