He loves ibeom and ibeom’s family and wants to support his boyfriend in his work. But because ibeom has a fundamental misunderstanding about ‘respectable’ jobs he urges jungoh to go for corporate work and jungoh understanding this does so.
I understand where ibeom is coming from. His work is very much real (atleast in the story’s universe), but can be skeptically viewed by others. In that sense being assistant to a shaman is not ‘respectable’ or ‘being on the up and up’ allowing career growth. But the reality of corporate work is that they strip you of your life to turn you into a mindless worker drone while dangling bonuses and promotions in your face which you will likely never achieve. Sure there is career progression, but it’s soul sucking stuff. Many people are not built for it.
I think jungoh himself wants to work for ibeom because he finds it satisfying. He gets paid well, loves what he does and becomes a part of ibeom’s work and family. Ibeom will probably learn to have a conversation that welcomes jungoh’s input from this lol he made assumptions about how corpo work is and urged jungoh to pursue it and look where it got both of them. Overworked and under loved.
