Expression of the Week

Lee Kang：지수호씨 어릴 때부터 매니저를 하셨다고 들었는데, 

I heard you were Ji Soo-ho’s manager since he was young.

언제부터 하신 겁니까? 2006년 전부터?

When did you start? Was it before 2006?

Kim Jun-woo：그건 왜 물어보시죠?

Why do you ask?

Lee Kang：아니 뭐 . 지수호씨 관련해 가지고 확인할 것도 있고.

Well… I just have some things to confirm about Ji Soo-ho.

Kim Jun-woo：그것보다... 수호가 이번에 드라마 들어가는 건 알고 계시죠?

By the way… you know Soo-ho is starting a new drama, right?

Lee Kang：지수호씨한테 직접 들은 건 없습니다만?

I haven’t heard anything from him yet.
