Unlike the call center, Somin, known as the luxurious Ilseongpa stronghold, catches Seokgu's eye thanks to her overwhelming skills. Seokgu senses a familiarity yet a strangeness in her, and becomes suspicious of her identity. However, Somin exposes the Heungsam-i faction's spy, averting the crisis and earning Seokgu's trust.

So-min, whose identity is almost exposed due to the ticket for "The Woman from Yanbian," lies to Seok-gu even more brazenly and proposes that they recruit Mason to "Genie the Star" to secure the business rights. Then, she introduces Mason's close associate, Eric Choi, aka Jeong-hoon, to Seok-gu, and So-min and Jeong-hoon's joint operation begins.

So-min, anxious about the presence of a man with a tattoo of the Ilseongpa faction, attempts to meet Jeong-hoon. However, she witnesses Jeong-hoon being kidnapped by the Ilseongpa faction and, while chasing him, loses him. She then receives a phone call from Seok-gu threatening, "If you don't return the money, I will kill Jeong-hoon."
