You Have Been Defended – Episode 555
[Teenage Drug Crime in Drug-Free Korea?]
[Teenager in Orphanage Arrested as Drug Offender]
[Teenage Drug Crime, Is There a Possibility of Organized Crime Involvement?]
No sooner had News9 reported on Jungmin’s case than internet articles poured out.
However, the name of the affiliated orphanage or specific details of the incident were not disclosed, so it did not attract much attention.
However, Kang Min-jae’s case was different.
[Title: Kang Kwan-woong’s Grandson’s Dump Truck Accident Feels Fishy]
Content: Seriously;; Kang Kwan-woong was also murdered, and now his grandson is in an accident so soon after;; It’s not just a traffic accident, it’s a dump truckㅋ Isn’t that a common movie trope?
└ Conspiracy theorist alertㅋㅋㅋ The driver confessed to falling asleep at the wheel
└ Falling asleep at 2 PM?
└ It’s the perfect time to be sleepy after lunch
└ Then why did he run?
└ He ran because he was scared when he found out it was Kang Kwan-woong’s grandson
└ You better not leave your house, you’re too gullibleㅇㅇ How many people in the world would kill someone and say they were paid to kill youㅋㅋㅋ
└ Shut up, you’re the one who shouldn’t leave the house, you spread conspiracy theories every time you open your mouth]
On the internet, there was already heated debate about Kang Min-jae’s accident.
Reactions could be found not only in the news article comments but also on social media.
Of course, teenagers and those in their twenties who are not interested in politics or society didn’t seem to care.
“Kang is a more reliable shield than I thought.”
“I agree. If Jungmin’s case had received a lot of attention, the college students would have been heavily criticized.”
If this is the case, even if Wooshin releases an article stating that the college students’ bullying was the reason for Jungmin’s delinquency, it is unlikely to receive much attention.
Then, if we later link it to Kang Min-jae’s accident, we can regain the spotlight while generating sympathy for the college students.
“But why did Wooshin wait a week after the arrest to report it? They had plenty of opportunities to strike first. Instead, we released it at the same time as my traffic accident, so it was somewhat buried.”
“Maybe they were trying to see how we would react.”
Wooshin, who thought they could solve everything by suppressing it with money and power, has changed.
Even though Ko Sang-jun has started to be very wary of us, who can’t be suppressed no matter how hard he tries, there’s no way he would have considered giving up Angel’s House, given his tendencies.
Ko Sang-jun has been running that disgusting human trafficking business without stopping, even though he had opportunities to do so.
He even made Ko Yoon-soo kneel to get in good with Onodera, and Onodera became the Prime Minister.
He made a great investment, but he’s going to shut down the business?
Doesn’t that seem strange?
“I don’t think this opponent is Ko Sang-jun.”
“If not Ko Sang-jun, then who?”
“Well, if they decided to give up Angel’s House, I think it might be Ko Yoon-soo.”
Ko Yoon-soo is in his 40s and still young.
I haven’t fully grasped his tendencies, but in my previous life, I didn’t find any major weaknesses of Ko Yoon-soo during the special investigation.
People think that large corporations and politicians are meticulous and don’t leave even trivial data from the beginning, but surprisingly, that’s not the case.
Of course, they completely handle data that is exposed to others or data that can be found with a little effort.
However, they are not very wary of things that are deeper inside.
Because they think there is almost no possibility of exposing it to others.
That’s why there are so many exposés from former executives, isn’t it?
And I don’t think they’re being complacent because they’re stupid.
Until now, South Korea was a society where you could prevent a prosecution investigation from happening in the first place, and even if you were investigated, you could just bribe the prosecutors to go easy on you.
Even in that situation, the fact that no fatal data was found on Ko Yoon-soo means that he sees the world from a slightly different perspective than Ko Sang-jun.
“Ko Yoon-soo… Come to think of it, Han Young-do, who grew up around the same time, was also thinking about third-generation management, so Wooshin must be too. Ko Sang-jun is also old.”
Moreover, Ko Yoon-soo must have been quite dissatisfied with the relationship with Japan that Ko Sang-jun had maintained.
Their disgusting business is bound to develop into a scandal that will shake the entire Wooshin group the moment it is exposed.
No matter how careful they are, there is definitely a risk, isn’t there?
Besides, the young man knows that the world has changed a lot and has fully accepted it.
In that situation, he was forced to kneel in front of Onodera due to Ko Sang-jun’s coercion, so he must want to get rid of Angel’s House.
“Ko Yoon-soo was also in charge of cleaning up the aftermath of the Chun Jong-nam case. When Ko Sang-jun sent Ko Yoon-soo to Japan, I heard from the wiretapping that Ko Yoon-soo was entrusted with the surgery of Onodera’s grandson.”
“That’s right. But Ko Yoon-soo didn’t speak Japanese, so he had an interpreter with him. If Ko Yoon-soo thought that business was important, he would have studied simple Japanese. Even if it wasn’t that business, if he cared about the relationship with Japan as much as Ko Sang-jun did, he would have been quite fluent.”
“I agree. Then Ko Yoon-soo must have been grinding his teeth to cut off that business as soon as he inherited Wooshin. Well, if it’s someone who can decide on a response to an externally exposed incident like this, it seems like it would have to be someone like Ko Yoon-soo.”
“For some reason, I keep worrying about Ribbon Medical Center. If they were planning to shut down the business, why would they create Ribbon Medical Center? But if the player has changed, it makes sense.”
“That’s right. As for the building, they can change its use or use it as a house as initially reported.”
What is certain is that Ko Yoon-soo will be more difficult to deal with than Ko Sang-jun.
In fact, in 2018 of my previous life, Ko Yoon-soo was in the position of vice president and wielded much more influence than he does now.
The reason why I couldn’t find anything other than nominee accounts at Angel’s House in 2018 may have been because of Ko Yoon-soo.
Human trafficking was already stopped, and since it was a high-risk job, it was definitely erased.
Jo Bong-joon was right.
If we had moved even a year later, we would have been in real trouble.

[The Circumstances of a Teenager Arrested as a Drug Offender]
[Teenage Drug Offender, Evidence of Abuse by Volunteers]
[Venting Frustration in the Name of Educational Volunteering?]
[Get Volunteer Hours, Relieve Stress, Cost-Effective Educational Volunteering]
“Ah, this article is really blatantly trying to stir up aggro [provocation].”
“Get volunteer hours and relieve stress? I really want to reflect that back on this bastard. Get paid, relieve stress, cost-effective reporter life.”
As expected, Wooshin released an article the next day claiming that college students had been continuously abusing Jungmin.
It wasn’t entirely without basis.
It also contained an interview with an Angel’s House employee on paper.
[WTF, how can those who abused children while doing educational volunteering become teachers?]
[Why do you want to be a teacher if you’re going to abuse children? Do you think teaching is the only job in the world?]
[Teacher recognition is goodㅋㅋㅋ Civil servant, so it’s a secure job~ There are vacations too~ Get bribes~ Get a pension when you retire~ You can also be called ‘teacher’ㅋㅋ That’s why anyone and everyone tries to become a teacherㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[How severe must the verbal abuse be for a normal child to run away from the orphanage and become so twisted that they commit crimesㅋㅋㅋ]
And there were also comments that attacked and denigrated the entire group of teachers.
Considering the characteristics of netizens, there is a tendency to exaggerate the problem and drag in irrelevant groups to criticize, but perhaps this is also Wooshin’s work.
This article, which didn’t receive much attention during the first report, has gathered so many people.
If they attack other groups like this, it becomes difficult for them to stay still.
Even if they try to refrain from expressing their opinions and watch the results, people keep poking at them.
Demanding that they express their opinions quickly.
Demanding that they attack those people if they don’t want to be criticized as well.
This is the case not only with this issue but with everything.
If medical students were the problem, they would have attacked the medical community, and if law students were the problem, they would have attacked the legal community.
At least that’s the flow of public opinion I’ve observed.
[1) A joint club consisting of students from the College of Education 2) Conducts various educational programs 3) There are many people on the waiting list for the science camp hosted by the club. With these conditions, only one club comes up
└ Where is it?
└ http://www.rydbrehddkfl.co.kr/index.html hereㅇㅇ
└ Wow, was it here?ㅋㅋㅋ This club is so old, I went to a science camp hosted by them when I was in elementary school…
└ All the people belonging to this club should not be allowed to obtain teacher qualifications.
└ It seems like we need to filter out those from this club among current teachersㅇㅇ You can find some faces by Googlingㅇㅇ]
Moreover, the club volunteers are, to be exact, students from the College of Education.
So soon they will start digging into the universities they belong to.
“The first report on Jungmin’s case didn’t receive much attention, but when they launched a barrage of articles attacking college students, it quickly became a hot topic. I looked around a few public communities, and the articles were shared a lot and a lot of posts were uploaded. Wow, it’s really easy to manipulate like this.”
Jo Bong-joon shook his head as if he was fed up.
Since we received news from Yoon Se-yeon yesterday that the Iljung Ilbo [a fictional newspaper] internet news department would be releasing an article attacking college students today, we gathered in the studio because we thought we should start broadcasting soon.
We are checking people’s reactions to time the broadcast.
As expected, the article hinted at where the club was so that it would be easy to identify, so people started carrying the club name around here and there.
“The club president sent me a message asking when it would be good to upload a statement of position?”
Choi Jong-hyun said, checking his phone.
He had met with the club executives separately yesterday to explain the situation and also handed over the statement of position that Kang Min-jae and I had written instead.
The college students were greatly shaken, but they knew well what Angel’s House had been like while volunteering, so they said they would trust us and wait.
In fact, I was worried about what to do if the college students rebelled too much, and I felt sorry for not foreseeing that this would happen to the college students, but it was a relief.
“I’m sorry to the students, but please tell them to wait a little longer. And emphasize once again that students belonging to the Angel’s House volunteer team should never do anything other than post a short line on social media saying they are dumbfounded.”
“Wouldn’t it be difficult to prevent other students who don’t belong to the Angel’s House volunteer team from posting articles on social media saying they will leave the club?”
“That can’t be helped. It’s such a large club that the president can’t control everything.”
“It was a stroke of genius to only allow non-public posts on the inquiry board, as Cha said. The homepage has started to be terrorized.”
Once the club was identified, people would immediately rush to the club’s homepage and post articles.
So, we changed the existing setting where the writer could choose whether to make the post public and made it possible to write only non-public posts.
People will say that they switched to non-public because they were afraid of being criticized, but at least it will be better than having countless netizens gather here and open a mockery board.
Beep, beep.
At that time, the cell phone on the desk rang.
“Oh, Se-yeon is calling? Should I answer it?”
Choi Jong-hyun turned the phone to speakerphone and answered it.
“Se-yeon, this is speakerphone.”
─I know. Senior, I heard this while eating with the person who uploaded the article attacking college students at our company. They said it will be broadcasted in the news tonight in earnest? They must have gotten an interview with an Angel’s House employee too.”
“Then they’ll talk about Sung-yoon’s story too. They’re going to blabber about what he said to the police.”
─Oh, is that Attorney Kang?
“Ah, yes. I was so pissed off that I didn’t even say hello and started talking. I’m sorry, Reporter Yoon.”
─No! It’s okay.
“Did you hear where the news is being broadcasted from?”
When I asked, Yoon Se-yeon answered loudly.
─It’s News Live! They’ve been eating so much shit for biased reporting that they haven’t come to their senses.”
“If it’s News Live, it starts at 9 o’clock, right?”
─Yes. Their drama at 8 o’clock these days is a huge hit, so if you only look at the viewership ratings these days, it’s on par with News9.”
“I understand.”
─Are you going to start broadcasting today? What time are you going to do it? I think you should start before them?”
“No. It’s better to start right after News Live reports it.”
─Why! Shouldn’t we seize the initiative first?”
“No. If the timeline gets complicated, people will get confused and stop watching. If we start broadcasting first and refute it, then they’ll refute it again. The incident will get twisted in people’s minds. Let them continue to claim that the college students did wrong, and then we’ll say it wasn’t us and turn it over at once, which will be easier to understand.”
After cutting off the phone with Yoon Se-yeon, we calmly started preparing for the broadcast.
I don’t know which news News Live will introduce it as, but let’s say it’s around 9:30…
Should we turn it on around 10 o’clock?
It’s a relief that tomorrow is the weekend.
If it were a weekday, I would have had to release the main evidence before 11 o’clock, so it would have been a bit hectic, but it seems like viewers won’t drop out because of the time.
* * *
Was it around 9:15?
The interview with the Angel’s House employee was uploaded to News Live.
The face was blurred, and the voice was distorted, but Choi Jong-hyun immediately recognized that the person being interviewed was Kim Young-ji.
It seems that Kim Young-ji is the first tail to be cut off [scapegoat].
The fact that Angel’s House entrusted Kim Young-ji with the first statement means that they will later focus the responsibility on Kim Young-ji.
“When should we upload the broadcast promotion post?”
Kim Jung-woo, who was sitting in front of the computer, said.
“It would be good to upload it in 10 minutes. It has to look like we couldn’t stand being angry after watching the broadcast and turned on the broadcast.”
Since we decided to move the platform, we need to inform people in advance to avoid confusion.
We hadn’t been able to make a platform transfer announcement yet because we hadn’t planned to turn on the broadcast yet, but if we put the transfer announcement on the existing platform, it will be blocked.
Fortunately, thanks to the fact that the two had promoted the site in advance to earn banner ad revenue, we decided to upload it there.
“I uploaded the post. You two go to the bathroom or something. I’ll turn on the broadcast.”
While Kim Jung-woo was turning on the broadcast, Jo Bong-joon and Choi Jong-hyun said they would go to the bathroom and smoke a cigarette and went out.
And in the meantime, people started coming in one by one.
[dlwlgns85: Huh… what… hyungs [older brothers/male friends]… is this real?… are you really broadcasting?…]
[dlwlgns85: How long have I been waiting… crazy… is this a dream…]
[dlwlgns85: But how do I change my YouTube nickname…]
[Sehyung Kim: You can change your nickname in the linked Google account]
[Sehyung Kim: I was surprised that the platform suddenly changed lol But there are already 50 viewersㅋㅋㅋ]
[Sehyung Kim: How many months has it been… what have you been up to hyungs, no, why don’t you show up, come on… if you say you’re going to wait until you get 10,000 viewers again, I’m not going to let you go]
[What do you want: Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s been so long since the broadcast, no, how many people are on the hyungs’ site, how can you only promote it thereㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I’m working hard to promote the site right now, I’ll gather people, wait…]
[East Sea Water: How many viewers will there be this time… what if fewer people come because the platform has changed…]
[Kim Woo-hyuk: I’ve been waiting a lot for the broadcast, so you’re doing it again^^ But when does it start? Did you tell me what the topic is today?]
[East Sea Water: No, it seems like the topic hasn’t been revealed yet…]
The nicknames are people I’m seeing for the first time, but they seem like people I’ve seen before.
Thanks to the viewer who said they would go around the site and promote it, the number of viewers started to increase.
[Gomdori: Ah, these old men are taking their time again]
[Jungminwooknamja: How many people will watch the old men’s broadcast while following the platform lol I came in saying that, but there are already a thousand peopleㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[korea11: Jungminwooknamja, did you write your gender in your last name? It’s not gender, it’s last name]
The number of viewers gradually increased, and they started chatting familiarly and waiting for the two.
And around that time, the two also came back and sat down.
“Huh? I came slowly because I thought not many people would come, but a lot of people came.”
Choi Jong-hyun said, widening his eyes as he checked the number of viewers.
[Jungminwooknamja: Came]
[Milk: Came]
[Choi Jong-hyun’s wig: ㅇㄷ [short for “where” as a placeholder]]
[Kim Seung-pyo: ㅇㄷ]
[YouTube is difficult: ㅇㄷ!!!!!!!]
“Oh, everyone, hello. It’s been a long time.”
[Lemon Carrying Debt: Greetings, tell me the topic quickly, please, I’m curious]
[Baby Squirrel Jonghyun: Hyungs, I’m not curious about your recent updates, tell me the topic quickly ㄱㄱㄱ [go go go]]
“Everyone, don’t you know yet? When do we turn on the broadcast?”
[ㅗMyung Hwa Pharmaceuticalㅗ: Usually turns on when cownew is talking nonsense…]
[sldjqkam: ㅋㅋㅋIt’s obvious, isn’t it cownew? I wonder what kind of trouble they’ve caused this time… I’m even a little excited… I shouldn’t be excited…]
“Correct. Today’s topic is, ‘Who Gave Drugs to the Orphanage Teenager?'”
