“Next, I would like to ask for the expansion of employment in relation to the youth unemployment problem that is becoming more and more serious day by day.”

The caring eyes suddenly changed and flashed fiercely.

“I have a question for CEO Taeyeon Yoo… … .”

“yes. Please speak.”

“It is stated that the new recruitment rate has dropped sharply since CEO Yoo Tae-yeon’s tenure. Can you please explain this problem?”

Certainly it was.

The reason was simple.

“Because they are refraining from new projects.”

“Please give me an accurate explanation.”

“Neckple is already in Korea… … No, we are working on the most game projects of any single company worldwide. There are dozens of studios. That alone amounts to a total of thousands.”

“Um… … !”

“There are too many. But for good reason. As far as I know, the Ministry of Employment and Labor held a CEO meeting on a similar issue a few years ago, and the Minister at that time also asked for expansion of employment. If I were to pretend to hear that right away, I had no choice but to increase the number of new projects. All the existing teams are full of TO, and in fact, the power of new employees in a game company is close to meaningless.”

“It is pointless. What exactly does that mean?”

“It’s just not at the level of being able to use it in real life. That’s something that all the CEOs here will agree with.”

Everyone nods.

“Aren’t civil servants like that too? As far as I know, I heard that the concept is to invest in nurturing for the future, not immediate power for at least three years.”

“that… … It cannot be denied.”

“Usually, even large-scale projects barely exceed 100 people, and in this case, the proportion of new developers in the team is difficult to exceed 30 at most. If it becomes more than that, it is difficult to proceed because there is not enough experienced people to lead the project from the center.”

CEOs nod eagerly as Taeyeon calmly says what they want to say.

“As a result, unnecessary or low-level projects increase, and in the end, most of them end up wandering aimlessly without even launching content. What I paid most attention to after taking office as CEO was to transfer and assign such employees one by one to projects that fit their aptitude. There were hundreds of them.”

“It must have been difficult. Well, it’s really important to expand the hiring of new staff, though… … .”

Having said that, I express my regret.

Of course Taeyeon understood their reaction.

So said.

“In the long run, our Neple Group plans to hire new staff several times the current total number of employees, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

“… … !”

This time everyone is surprised.

the Minister of Employment and Labor stutters.

“As far as I know, the total number of Nepple employees is in the thousands… … If it’s a manpower that’s several times that number… … . How is that possible?”

The buzz grows.

Taeyeon speaks calmly.

“Because there is a Gwacheon theme park resort business.”

“ah… … !”

“Construction is already underway, and construction and content development are progressing rapidly, so the park is expected to be completed within a few years. This will lead to a large-scale recruitment of new personnel.”

“Oh oh… … !”

“We are expecting a total of 50,000 direct and indirect employees, and it may be expanded beyond that depending on the situation in Park City in the future. Personally, I am optimistic about the future. The New World Group, Nepple, and Disney are preparing to make it a world-class theme city with all their might.”

Taeyeon said confidently.

“I am the technical lead for this mega project. There are no lies or exaggerations in the information presented so far. I will make it clear.”

An ever-increasing groaning sound.

Finally, applause breaks out.

The expressions of people from government departments, including the Minister of Employment and Labor, were very bright.

“There are many other projects in progress. It hasn’t been released to the media yet, and only me and a few people know… … There are many surprises.”

Taeyeon looked around and said.

“Neckple can promise that we will do our best to solve youth unemployment and stabilize employment in Korea with all our might. And only then can the company take off on a global scale, so I will do my best.”

“… … .”

Silence hung over the Nexle conference room.

Isn’t that a great story?

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong sighed.

“very… … You made the meeting room a presentation of the company’s future growth plan.”

“I had a reason to do that.”

“Is there a reason?”

“yes.”

end of announcement.

“Each of you, if you have something you want to say to the government, say it one by one.”

The minister gave strength.

“I will not be able to promise that I will solve everything, but I will try my best to the best of my ability.”

As a result, the CEOs took turns saying a word, but there was nothing that stood out greatly.

It was as if the division commander had set up a single soldier and asked him to ask questions about the development of the military unit.

“Now, let’s end the meeting with CEO Yoo Tae-yeon’s remarks.”

Taeyeon said as if she had been waiting.

“I have something to say about the Game Management Committee and the Game Industry Promotion Act.”

“… … !”

Game company CEOs look very surprised.

‘no way… … ?’

It was all guesswork.

Taeyeon shouted without hesitation.

“Currently, the Game Act makes it illegal to distribute without deliberation by the Game Management Committee, abbreviated to Game Management Committee.”

Taeyeon’s eyes flashed fiercely.

“But in fact, there is a precedent in which such a deliberation system has been ruled unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court in the past. Because it is an act of state censorship of publications. However, due to the perception that games are a harmful medium, the government is clearly aware of this problem but is turning a blind eye to it. Because that’s what parents with children like.”

A suppressed moan breaks out.

“There is another problem that stems from this. It’s a shutdown system. It violates the property rights of minors… … It is unbelievably evil law that came from a liberal democracy. Are minors unable to handle products bought with my own money? Are we a backward country?”

A cold wind blows from Taeyeon.

“There are so many things I want to say, but I will say just one more thing, hoping for help from the Minister and the government departments who will be watching this meeting.”

The meeting room was so quiet that even the sound of saliva dripping could be heard.

Taeyeon confidently continued her demands.

“A few years ago, the Game Management Committee invested billions of dollars in taxpayer money to build an integrated game rating classification management system, and the system was already completed the year before last. But the system didn’t work at all, and the blood cells evaporated.”

The voice grows louder.

It seemed that everyone knew nothing about it.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it… … Did that happen?”

“It was also reported on terrestrial news, but somehow it was quietly buried. But the records are definitely there, so it won’t be difficult to check.”

A person from a government department hurriedly looked for information and replied that such a thing had actually happened.

The minister’s face hardened seriously.

“It is said that a service company was selected to build the program, but the company that made the sham system did not receive any compensation from the Crab Commission. It is because we have obtained a memorandum of injunction against claiming compensation in advance.”

“Huh… … !”

“No, something like that… … !”

“It is full of work that I do not understand at all, but the government is quiet. Gedeungwi is still wielding great power and making the Korean game industry sick.”

“……..”

“The criteria and process for review criteria, follow-up management, and rating classification must be transparent and open so that consumers, users, can understand. But nobody knows, and the behind-the-scenes screening is still ongoing.”

Taeyeon growled.

“In a word, it is a mess. In my view, they are cancerous and detrimental to the development of the game industry.”

“Anyway, it’s a bit harsh… … .”

“In the 21st century Korea, behind-the-scenes screening and publication censorship?”

“… … .”

The minister was silent.

‘If I make a mistake here… … .’

I was already worried about public opinion after the meeting.

All you can do is keep your mouth shut!

“Especially blood tax embezzlement is a very serious issue. The problem that was released for lack of evidence is a more serious problem. Korean game… … No, we ask for a thorough fact-finding investigation for the development of the content market.”

The meeting ended in a frozen atmosphere.

“Ugh… … .”

Sighs erupted from everywhere.

“The head of this guy set a very wildfire. So, what are you going to do?”

“Since the CEO of a large company, hosted by a minister and openly set fire to a gathering of CEOs of large tech companies, the media and users will stand up.”

Taeyeon smiled a little.

“Especially users won’t sit still. don’t you all know? How frightening is the unity and action of those who are crazy about something.”

[Neckple CEO Yu Tae-yeon. Controversy over tax embezzlement sparked at the IT CEO meeting!]

[An evil law that reverses the game industry promotion law era! In particular, the shutdown system is a dangerous act of violating the property rights of minors! Intense criticism!]

It was heated up by the press.

Everyone poured out the records of the meeting, but most of them were stories about Taeyeon.

Numerous users and game communities who had been dissatisfied with this problem for a long time welcomed it with open arms.

[Keuuu, Taeyeon hyung as expected. In case someone isn’t Yu Tae-yeon of the genocide, you’re putting a knife at the government after cleaning up the inside of Nepple!]

[These bastards, even if they make a fuss like that, they don’t even disclose the meeting minutes and keep going to the closed room screening… … Now to the embezzlement of blood tax? Amazing really.]

[Certainly, the representative of a large company took up arms and made a ripple effect unlike users and Rekka Mutubers.]

[In the global server, games for 7 to 12 years old are classified as adult games after passing through the depth of mind of youngsters. However, the standard is also very strange. This should have happened long ago, not once or twice.]

Internet community heated up all day long.

In addition, in the office worker community, especially in the game industry, incumbent developers poured out all kinds of complaints.

When the complaint exploded, the Game Rating Management Committee posted a notice on the official website.

To summarize, the contents are as follows.

[Hundreds or thousands of complaints have been pouring in from the past few days. Most of the complaints are the same. I don’t know where you got the order from, but please refrain.]

This content ignited the fire even more.

[order? Are you out of your mind? lol]

[Thinking tail… … Do you not understand what situation you are in and why this is happening?]

[I also filed a complaint… … . Then, where did I get the order from and do the collective action? They are crazy.]

[Gedeungwi is not a public institution under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism? To respond to the pouring in of complaints because they made a mistake… … . Is it true?]
