Negotiation Table Shaken at Imjingak, Tensions Rise Over the News of WooSung-Sentinel Partnership
Evan and Irina, the balance of negotiations and emotions wavering at Imjingak and the DMZ Check out the next phase of negotiations, which will accelerate with the breaking news of WooSung's AI partnership
After their meeting with Chairman Shin Jaehyuk, Evan and Irina head north of Seoul to visit Imjingak and the DMZ area. The two enjoy a brief rest in a quiet place and talk, but Evan remains preoccupied with business and the negotiation situation.
While touring Imjingak, Dora Observatory, and the Third Tunnel, Irina tells Evan that rather than talking about work, they should enjoy time alone together. Through a short conversation, Evan reveals how they first met and his feelings, but a breaking news alert that comes in on his phone changes the mood.
The breaking news says that Woosung has formed a technology alliance with the U.S. company Sentinel and is moving ahead with a Koreanstyle AI border surveillance system business. Evan takes this as a sign that Shin Jaehyuk has brought in a competitor to shake up the negotiation table, and he senses that the negotiations ahead will begin in earnest.
