## Background

**Lemon Entertainment** began as a one-man agency then quickly grew as one of the top three agencies for actors.

Although it is considered a small and medium-sized agency in the music industry, it is one of the few companies whose celebrity welfare is equivalent or more to that of the 4 major entertainment companies. It is known for using the laissez-faire approach to its artists.

As for employee welfare, their employees have the highest salary grade in the entertainment industry. It is publicly known that there is a tight-knit atmosphere in the company. Employees gave them a rating of 9 out of 10 - the most common complaint being that there's too many food given which made everyone gain weight.

After The New Black's 3rd and 4th albums, they are now considered as one of the top-ranking entertainment agencies in Korea.

- But the atmosphere was amicable.
They were so friendly that we could talk comfortably.
"Let's all say wow!"
"Wow!"
… When I came to my senses, we were all jumping together.
When I was released from there and headed to the stage, I asked with a blank face.
"…I feel like I've been caught in a vortex and then released."
"But at this point, I totally toned down because I've never met anyone before." Don't even talk normally. Seriously, it's the level of square Wang Ji-ho."
Ri Hyuk shook his head with a face that was out of his mind. Episode 151

I heard that he was talented and watched the video, but it was different to see it with my eyes.

You guys were like minions running around.

Now, he was dancing with a long black cloth flying from his fingertips.

Wow, there are only main dancers here.

Even though there were only four people, the stage felt full.

Every time a delicate gesture continues, what kind of energy comes out of the fingertips and fills the empty space. (152)
