Episode 10: Business on the Line
Sentinel collaboration, controversy over forward boundary lines, and pressure from the Blue House to prioritize industry A decisive moment at the Taesan ADEX booth, where the next move is being planned
Executive Director Park Gwangyu meets Executive Director Choi Seongjin of Taesan Defense and Evan in his office at Samgakji. Executive Director Choi explains that the company policy to introduce the unverified Sentinel system to the frontline perimeter has already been finalized, but Director Park strongly objects, saying that decision could endanger the soldiers' safety.
While the discussion continues, a call comes in from the Office of the Senior Secretary for Economy, and the Blue House conveys its position that the Sentinel collaboration should be pushed forward, citing the localization of core AI technologies and export competitiveness. Contrary to concerns on the ground, the policy direction shifts toward prioritizing industrial performance.
At that moment, Evan catches a clue in Executive Director Choi's words that Taesan Chairman may not appear at the Seoul ADEX opening ceremony. He immediately confirms the specific information that it will be at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at the Taesan booth, and prepares his next move, aiming for a short but decisive opportunity over the remaining week.
