Chapter 280 – Preparation (2)
280
Without exaggeration, it is a spacious room that looks like two basketball courts connected together.
In a large room filled with fancy and antique furniture, a woman in pajamas with her hair tied up and pinned with her ballpoint pen was frantically working on a laptop.
『Established special honorary citizenship system in Dubai!』
“In 2021, the United Arab Emirates opened citizenship to foreigners for the first time among Arab countries in the Gulf region.
At the time, UAE Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, tweeted, “Investors, scientists, doctors, engineers, artists, writers, etc., People with special talents and occupations and their families can apply for naturalization under the new law. “He said.
However, the UAE’s measures did not have a great impact due to the high threshold. The detailed conditions are that investors must have real estate in the UAE, and they can hold two or more patents recognized by the UAE Ministry of Economy or receive a recommendation from the Ministry of Economy. For doctors and specialists…

The UAE is a federation of seven territorial states, and in addition to the federal constitution, each territorial state has legislative power through its own parliament.
The ‘Special Honorary Citizenship’ announced by the Dubai government this time is also through this, the Dubai government is easing the existing UAE system with high thresholds to actively attract foreign talents that will be of great help to the country—”
Tap tap tap tap—
Amidst the roaring sound of advertisements coming from the 50-inch TV set opposite her, the woman’s hand, which had been typing so violently that her hair, which had been fixed with her ballpoint pen, flowed down, stopped abruptly.
“Hmm… What should I do to connect it naturally? I can’t stop the repulsive feeling, so I have to induce it to flow to the other side, not this way… “
Tok, tok.
Manicured short nails, regularly tapping the edge of the notebook, rummaged through the pile of materials on the table.
“At times like this, it’s best to hold on to the United States first. First of all, from the United States… “
Tadadadak, they continue typing like fireworks again.
“In the case of the United States, there is a similar honorary citizenship system.
It is a system that grants honorary citizenship to foreigners who do not have U.S. Nationality with special achievements. It requires the approval of Congress and the consent of the President according to the procedure prescribed by law.
As of 2036, only 7 people have been granted honorary citizenship of the United States, and only 2 of them became honorary citizens during their lifetime.
A similar system of honorary citizenship exists in Korea as well.
It is a system that grants honorary nationality to foreigners who have made great contributions to the Republic of Korea. It was created under the direction of the Minister of Justice after the 2002 World Cup, and coach Guus Hiddink became the first honorary citizen.
Later, in June 2016, Marianne Stöger and Sister Margaret Pisaret, who had served their lives in Korea for patients with Hansen’s disease, and Father Patrick James McGrinch, were posthumously awarded honorary national titles in 2018.
In this way, the honorary citizen or honorary citizen system is granted to those who have made great contributions to the country—”
Tatter-
The eyes of the woman who was frantically typing suddenly turned to the TV.
“It has already started. Let’s see… Reporter Lee Han-yong is on the panel. It’s okay because I’m a friendly person. Commentary by Joon-Hyun Kwak. This yangban was pre-baked and boiled. Next-“
The sound of the TV came to her ears as she muttered frantically and rummaged through her wads of paper.
—The Dubai Olympics, which are now approaching. The most pressing concern is whether or not Hong Min-joon will be selected. How, is that possible?”
The soccer reporter answers the MC’s question first.
—As you all know, there is no compulsory drafting rule for the Olympics. That is why it is very difficult for players with high name value to participate. However, this Dubai Olympics has a special note.
—Right. Isn’t this the first Olympics to be held in the Middle East? Considering how much effort the Dubai royal family put into hosting the Olympics and the symbolism of being the first Olympics in the Middle East, the Al Maktoum royal family will definitely do their best to make the Olympics successful. And as one of the most important factors in the success of the Olympics is the participation of ‘superstars’, it is highly likely that we will see Hong Min-joon in this Olympics.
After the two panels exchanged ‘lines’, the MC exclaimed as if he had waited.
—Ah~ Come to think of it, the Newcastle club that Hong Min-jun belongs to was owned by the royal family of Al Maktoum, right?
—Right. So the possibility is high…
After watching the broadcast for a few more minutes, the woman nodded and turned her TV off.
“The public opinion is over. No In case you don’t know, I should post an article about this too.”
After finding the desired material in a pile of papers and reading it quickly, the flame typing continues again.
『Will we see Minjun Hong at the Dubai Olympics?』
「In 2020, Dubai succeeded in hosting the first expo in the Middle East and then tried to host the first Olympics in the Middle East, but failed.
But Dubai’s royal family of Al Maktoum hasn’t given up on their dream of hosting the Middle East’s first Olympics.
While expanding city infrastructure, reorganizing facilities behind it, and constructing game facilities, it continued aggressive marketing by acquiring Newcastle, an English soccer team, becoming the main sponsor of the Golf Masters tournament, and hosting the World Boxing Championships.
And as a result, Dubai finally succeeded in hosting the Olympics for the first time in the Middle East.
Will we see Hong Min-joon at the first Olympic Games in the Middle East?
The answer is ‘It’s quite possible’.
In order for an athlete to participate in the Olympics, two conditions must be met. The first is the will of the athlete and the second is the permission of the club.
Needless to say, the former is firm.
Hong Min-joon, who is breaking a new record by breaking 40 EPL goals for two consecutive years, was able to stand tall as a rising star from an unknown college leaguer through the last Sydney Olympics.
As an individual player, I have good memories of the Olympics, and as I said several times in interviews, “I want to wear the Taegeuk mark and participate in the Olympics again,” The athlete himself has a strong will.
Then what about the club’s permission?
Originally, the Olympics do not have FIFA’s compulsory drafting regulations, but as the Al Maktoum royal family who wish for the success of the Dubai Olympics, the participation of ‘superstar’ Min-Jun Hong is most urgent.
Therefore, even for the success of the tournament, there is a possibility that the Dubai royal family, the owner of Newcastle, will make a major decision.
If Hong Min-jun participates in the Olympics, it will be his second appearance following the last Sydney Olympics, and it will be of great help to the national team without a clear scorer—”
Tatter-
Someone came up behind the woman who was typing with flames in a trance, unaware that the ballpoint pen had fallen and her hair was flowing down.
“It’s hard work.”
“Who, hee-! Are you okay!?”
The woman looked back in amazement, her long hair fluttering wildly as she slapped the cheek of the woman behind her.
“Dare… “
Harin Oh, who had her eyes closed with a grave expression, twisted her lips.
“I’ve never been beaten by my father… It hurts.”
“Hey!! I’m sorry, I-I’m sorry!!”
Eyelids that open narrowly.
“Sin, sin, sin, sanity—”
“Don’t stutter because you’re stupid.”
“Yes, yes!”
“Don’t stutter.”
“Yes!”
“Noisy.”
“Yeah… !”
“It’s a joke.”
“Yeah….”
The woman with narrowed eyes glanced at her, thinking as she shrugged her shoulders.
I don’t think so. I think it’s true that he’s angryhehe!!
“A broadcast check? Are you done?”
“Yes, I just did it! Came out as scheduled—”
“A knight?”
“Ah, I’m writing right now….”
Oh Harin, who was looking at the woman’s laptop screen over her shoulder, nodded her head.
“It’s okay, go wash up. It’s your turn in a minute.”
“Ah… Yes!!”
The woman jumped up with a bright smile and saw the bare legs of O’Harin covered in sticky white liquid.
“But will it be my turn… ? I haven’t taken a break for days… Same today… “
“I don’t know. It’s in a monkey state in heat, so it’ll be fine.”
Seeing Oh Harin shaking her hand as if she was tired, the woman, Hong Min-jun’s exclusive interviewer Kang Su-yeon, quickly ran to the shower.
Harin Oh, who was staring at her back, tilted her head slightly to one side.
“Why does he seem to be getting younger when he’s over 30?”
And a quiet, ghastly voice.
“Feel bad.”
