Jennie Kim's popularity grew rapidly because, in the eyes of the public, she was undeniably the victim. At just 16-years-old she was already out making a living, but because of the words 'Mini-Jooeun', she ended up being excluded and humiliated.

With the revelation of the 'gift incident', heated discussions were ignited online. A few reporters even declared they would join forces to find Cha Jooeun and demand she gives a detailed apology or else they wouldn't stop pestering her. Those that were weaker indeed deserved sympathy, but this sympathy should never be treated as a reason to do whatever one wants. So at this time, when things were at their worst, Jooeun instructed Minjung to release a statement. She admitted that she had indeed given a gift to Jennie.

However, she didn't explain further. In an instant, her words caused an uproar. Jooeun had actually made an admission. Everyone thought Jooeun must have gone crazy. She didn't deny anything, apologize nor do any PR. Instead, she admitted to giving Jennie a gift!

While the netizens were insulting her, they couldn't help but laugh. They felt this must be the limit to her IQ and that her true EQ level had now been revealed. People that were scolding her became extremely aggressive. They didn't understand why Cha Jooeun had admitted to giving the gift but wouldn't apologize. This only made her situation worse. Things like this, from the eyes of those in the industry – even if it was true – they would never admit it. How could anyone admit to something like this?

No one understood why Cha Jooeun had done what she did, including YG and Sublime. The only person that had faith in her was the man watching the news with his chin propped up on his hand, Lee Jeonghwan.

Even Taejoo, who had seen Jooeun's previous counter-attacks, couldn't help but sweat nervously for her. Jennie had done all she could to push Jooeun to a point of no return, yet she willingly fell straight into her trap. Taejoo looked at Jeonghwan confusedly. He didn't show even a trace of concern. So he couldn't help but ask. "President, why did madam do this?"

"What are the results from your investigation on Jennie Kim?"

"I will have it on your table this evening." Taejoo swiftly responded. After seeing Jeonghwan nod in approval, he continued questioning him. "President, I thought you had faith in madam. Why are you still . . .?"

"The madam has one weak point. She is too merciful. Her counter-attack is sufficient to complete her goal. But the thing I want to help her with is to spare her any future troubles."

In other words, Jooeun wanted to clear her innocence and destroy Jennie Kim. Whereas Jeonghwan wanted to take it a step further and ensure that Jennie Kim would never recover!

Of course, as soon as Cha Jooeun's admission was released, Jennie Kim's arrogance increased even more. She was determined to implant a pitiful image of herself into the minds of everyone. So YG released a statement on behalf of her in response to Cha Jooeun. They stated that they weren't going to care about how
