You Have Been Defended [EN]: Chapter 562

[ApolloFollower: Seriously, did you actually go there? lolololololol]

KimSatgatSatgat: lolololololololol. The fact that they painstakingly blurred out their faces is hilarious.

changhoon: lololololololol

chris park: It’s kind of scary seeing them all gathered like that;

The viewers reacted explosively as soon as the park scene appeared.

“Okay, everyone. Now, these students will tell you about Student A. Listen and judge for yourselves whether Student A was really an *iljin* [school bully].”

[─Bbi-yo? Who’s that? Do you know Bbi-?

─No, I don’t. Never heard the name before?

─They’re saying Bbi-go? That’s your school.

─There’s a kid named Bbi- at our school? Never heard of them. Are they a freshman? I’m a freshman, and I’ve never heard that name before.

─Doesn’t seem like they’ve ever been here. If they had, we wouldn’t have never heard their name.

─Hey, you have a lot of Facebook friends. Search for them.

─I’m already doing that, but they’re not among my Facebook friends. Our class president knows a ton of people. I’ll go look through their account.

─But why Bbi-? If we don’t even know their name, they must be a quiet student. Why are you asking us about them?]

Among the twenty-odd students in Hanbit Park, eight attended Seungwi High School.

Of those, only four were freshmen.

Yet, not a single one of them knew Son Jeongmin.

“Everyone, they’ve never even heard the name. These friends here, even though they’re blurred, you can get a sense of them, right? They’re not exactly model students. They even talked back when we told them to put out their cigarettes.”

[ㅗMyungHwaPharmaceuticalㅗ: lolololol I’m getting flashbacks; My hands are getting cold;; There are still kids like that….

Kim Cheolsu: I really hate it when they hang out in groups and create that weird atmosphere;;

WhoOpenedTheDoorHwangHyunHee: Those kinds of kids all know the *iljins* [school bullies] from nearby schools and are super tightㅋ If they’re the same *iljin*, they’ll spill all the details just by mentioning itㅋㅋㅋ

BabySquirrelJonghyun: Seeing as no one knows A, it doesn’t seem like they were an *iljin* lololol

Jo Sangwoo: And it’s ambiguous to say that they’re pretending not to know A because they’re involved in a crime. Those kinds of kids think that’s cool and try to get even more involved lololol

ㅗMyungHwaPharmaceuticalㅗ: True, they think that’s cool lolololol]

People seemed to feel even more animosity toward the students’ delinquent behavior in the video.

The more that happened, the more the fact that Son Jeongmin was falsely accused of being a school violence perpetrator would resonate with people’s anger.

[Does anyone have Bbi- as a Facebook friend?]

Choi Jonghyun asked, and the students seemed to be checking their Facebooks on their phones.

Everyone stared at their phones for a long time.

[─Ah, I found them. The class president is friends with them. None of us are friends with them. Why are you asking us about them?

─Ah, Student Bbi-, they’re part of that, like, crew? They call it the Bbi- crew?

─Crew? Ugh, how childish is that? We’re not like that. We just hang out here because it’s convenient.

─Is that so? Let’s just call it the Bbi- crew for convenience’s sake. So, Student Bbi- isn’t part of the Bbi- crew?

─Well, yeah. I think they’d be really quiet at school. What middle school did they go to?

─I think they said Bbi- Middle School.

─Bbi- Middle School? I went to Bbi- Middle School with them, but I don’t know them. Sorry to say this, but kind of a loser… You know what I mean? Like that.]

The students answered with laughter in their voices.

They even seemed dumbfounded.

[TearsOfTheMinwooParty: Their voices are distorted, but their tone is so funny lololol. It’s like they’re saying, ‘Where did you hear that a loser like that is an *iljin* [school bully]?’ lololololol

JeongAhPapa: This will be a dark history for them later. What are they going to do lol… I feel some kind of sense of superiority.

IWantToEatGwamegi: Ugh, kids… What loser… You guys are more pathetic…]

The viewers seemed to have noticed the nuance of the students called the ‘Hanbit Crew’.

At first, we briefly wondered if we should even broadcast that content.

We were worried that the expression ‘loser’ might become a word used to refer to Jeongmin when he returned to school.

However, the fact that these students didn’t want to be treated as a group actually seemed to clearly show that Son Jeongmin was not an *iljin* [school bully], so we decided to broadcast it.

Since the viewers were already expressing displeasure with the students’ *iljin* [school bully] antics, it seemed unlikely that such a frame would be created for Son Jeongmin.

[Ah, come to think of it, this.]

At that moment, a student who was putting on lipstick while looking in the mirror opened her mouth.

The camera quickly focused on that student.

The student rummaged through her bag and took something out.

[I think this had Bbi- written on the name tag? Isn’t this gym uniform Bbi-‘s?]

Saying that, the student unfolded the gym uniform top that was crumpled into a ball.

On the chest of the wrinkled gym uniform, there was a name tag that read ‘Son Jeongmin’.

Of course, the name was also blurred out in the video.

[─Oh, that’s right. Why do you have this?

─You borrowed it from someone in your class. I wore this every day until spring.

─Did I? But you still have it in your bag, how gross.

─Ugh, my mom told me to bring it to wash the gym uniform before school started, so I put it in there. But you said you didn’t remember who you borrowed it from, so just keep it.

─I think I did say that. But it doesn’t matter since they didn’t ask for it back, right?]

The chat room exploded as they listened to the two students’ conversation.

[ChoiJonghyun’sWig: Wow, seriously, do *iljins* [school bullies] these days still borrow (take) gym uniforms and not return them? lololololololol

SongSuro: I remember lending my gym uniform to someone a long time ago and getting it back from someone I didn’t even know… lol

777Jackpot: lolololololol I really hate seeing that lolololol They don’t do that to strong kids, only to weak ones lololololol

super: A isn’t an *iljin* [school bully] lololol

GiveMeMyCardValueCherry: If they were an *iljin* [school bully], they would have returned it a long time ago… lololol

JeongminWookMan: *Iljins* [school bullies] these days get their gym uniforms taken away lolololol]

I wondered if any more explanation was needed, but since we had already investigated, we decided to show a little more of the video.

[─Seeing the gym uniform reminds me, I think they’re in our class?

─Oh, really? We have to return the gym uniform. They ran away from home. We can’t give it to them. Ah, that sucks.

─They don’t have many friends and couldn’t buy a new gym uniform, so they got chewed out by the head teacher every gym class for not having a gym uniform.

─Seriously? I feel so bad? When are they coming back to school? We should give them the gym uniform soon. But aren’t they going to jail for drugs? Hey, give me the gym uniform. I’ll go visit them and give it to them.

─Ah, now that you mention the gym uniform, I remember. The head teacher was doing a belongings check, and I was worried I’d get caught with cigarettes, so I think I put them in their bag? They sit in front of me, so I put them in there in a hurry. Mister, you said earlier that there was a post saying they smoked? I think that rumor spread because they got caught with what I put in there. They don’t smoke.

─Ah, them? Was that them? Crazy, the head teacher was so confused when some random kid suddenly got caught with cigarettes. They even did a nicotine test at school, but nothing came up. Back then, damn! The head teacher called me and went crazy, asking if I was the one who put the cigarettes in their bag. I was so unfairly accused, was that you who did it? You son of a bitch, you wanna die?

─Sorry, sorry. Hehehe.]

The video ended there.

And by that time, the chat room was enraged by the students’ attitude of laughing and joking shamelessly, rather than reflecting on their actions.

[LemonDeliveringAndPayingOffDebt: Who said A was an *iljin* [school bully] lololol Seriously, wow… Just a poor student being played by *iljins* [school bullies]… Their tone is so infuriatingㅡㅡ

kim seunghyun: I’m a current teacher, and there are tons of kids like that… I have to see those kinds of kids every day when school starts… So stressful..

shin hyejin: They’re so shameless;; Saying things like that in front of adults while laughing;;;

BringBackTheHandsomeLawyer: There’s nothing more to see. Student A probably wasn’t an *iljin* [school bully];;….

Kim Kwangmin: They turned a good student into a perpetrator of school violence in an instant lolololol Why are they doing this?

lmaolmao: It’s not a perpetrator of school violence, but they might as well be a victim. Is direct violence the only kind of violence? They must have been under a lot of stress..]

“As you can see in the video, those friends are obviously what you would call *iljins* [school bullies]. But the *iljins* [school bullies] don’t seem to think of Student A as a friend at all. Besides, there were a lot of rumors about being extorted in front of a certain park, and drinking and smoking in a certain park every day. In the video, the school even did a nicotine test, but it wasn’t detected, right?”

“Additionally, there was someone who claimed to have been assaulted by Student A and received two weeks of treatment. As mentioned earlier, they ignored the comments asking for certification of the diagnosis. So, we directly contacted the school that Student A attended.”

[uajzaqlk: How would the school know about the assault lolololol There wasn’t even a school violence committee meeting lololololololol

ㅗMyungHwaPharmaceuticalㅗ: If they used violence to the point of needing two weeks of treatment, there would at least be a student who was hit like that. It doesn’t make sense that the school wouldn’t know, EnglishNicka? lololol]

The audio recordings released in succession were the contents of direct phone calls to Seungwi High School and the middle school that Son Jeongmin graduated from.

The conversations were not long.

The question was whether a student named Son Jeongmin had ever used violence against a classmate or shown any other problematic behavior.

Of course, the answer was ‘no’.

“At this point, I think you all know enough that Student A is not a perpetrator of school violence. Of course, there will be people who say that it’s not 100 percent proof, right? But even if it’s possible to prove something happened, how can you prove something didn’t happen? And those who initially raised the issue only made claims without any other evidence. Besides, legally, the burden of proof is not on the defendant or the accused, right?”

“Quite some time has passed since the claim that Student A was a perpetrator of school violence came out. However, no proper evidence has been presented yet. So, we really have a big question about this. Why did the claim that Student A was a perpetrator of school violence suddenly come out? Isn’t it too sudden?”

At Jo Bongjun’s question, the chat room boiled over with anticipation.

[GiveMeMyCardValueCherry: So you know about that too!!!! Tell me quickly!!!!!!!!!!

JeongminWookMan: Today’s content is amazing, so fun…

lmaolmao: You’re not going to say ‘See you next time’ here, are you? Please, please, please]

“If I say ‘See you next time,’ I think I’ll get terrorized. Fortunately, there’s a lot to unpack in today’s broadcast. Okay, let’s move on to the next video.”
