In 'Red Swan', Episode 4, the storyline takes a dramatic turn as Oh Wan-soo faces a significant challenge that puts her leadership and personal integrity to the test. Park Mi-ran’s decision to hand over the Now Foundation to someone else sets off a chain of events that escalate quickly.
Mi-ran calls Mr Han Sang-il to deliver a resignation speech to Oh Wan-soo, effectively forcing her out of her position as the head of the foundation. This move signals a strategic power play, underscoring the deep-seated rivalries and power struggles within the organization.
Upon receiving the news, Oh Wan-soo takes decisive action by instructing her assistant to spread a rumor about her husband, Kim Yong-guk (Jung Gyu-woon), having an affair with Jang Tae-ra (Ki Eun-sae). This rumor, which implicates the vice-chairman of the Hwain Group in a scandalous affair, spreads rapidly, causing significant turmoil within the family and the organization.
Tae-ra confronts Wan-soo, demanding an interview to quash the rumors. However, Park Mi-ran decides to keep everyone out of the limelight to mitigate the damage.

In response, Oh Wan-soo calls an emergency meeting to address the rumors. Park Mi-ran, attempting to control the situation, keeps Wan-soo preoccupied with a meeting with a minister. However, with the help of Seo Do-yoon, Wan-soo manages to escape and head to the conference.
This turn of events highlights Wan-soo's resilience and determination to assert her position and control over the narrative. At the conference, Oh Wan-soo makes a bold and shocking confession. She denies the rumors of Kim Yong-guk’s affair with Jang Tae-ra and their supposed secret child.

The confession leaves Park Mi-ran in a state of panic, as she watches the conference and realizes the implications of Wan-soo’s statement. The entire Hwan family is thrown into disarray, grappling with the fallout from Wan-soo’s strategic revelation.
