You Have Been Defended [EN]: Chapter 602

You Have Been Defended – Episode 602 (602/641)

As soon as the word ‘homicide’ was confirmed, viewers’ chats began to flood in.

[Tears of Minwoo Party: It was when I was young, but there was a gas leak next door. My mom smelled it and told the security office, preventing an accident.]

[Kim Satgat Satgat: These crazy bastards are insane. I’d understand if they kidnapped him like Attorney Cha and tried to bury him in concrete, but a gas explosion is a bit much;;; It’s a building where other people live! What if there was a big accident? Were they planning to harm innocent people?]

[Leesooyoung: Looking at the news now, it says that the area is mostly inhabited by office workers, so the villas nearby were empty at the time of the accident, so there was little damage to others. Seems like they planned it carefully.]

[Jin Ramyun Mild Flavor: Well, if they tried to run him over with a dump truck or something, they’d have to hire someone like the contractor who confessed to trying to kill Attorney Cha. But with a gas explosion, if they erase the evidence well, they can cover it up quickly. Unless someone persistent keeps digging.]

Many viewers seemed to think it was Woo-shin’s doing, but, unsurprisingly, the usual ‘English Nicknames’ appeared, attempting to deflect blame.

[slapq: Listening to the recording, ㅇㅎㅇ [initials, likely referring to a person] and the chief of staff are definitely organ traffickers. I understand that they tried to include the person who died in the gas explosion but got rejected, and I also understand the wiretapping. But still, to attribute the gas explosion to those people is just too much.]

[1091818: It’s the national character of this country to be easily swayed by attaching plausible things. Tsk tsk.]

[Kim Beomchan: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅇㅎㅇ was going to traffic organs, and the doctor who died in the gas explosion was almost scouted by ㅇㅎㅇ, so it’s easy to connect them, so they’re connecting them.]

[Seok Jeongrae: I know there are suspicious circumstances surrounding the gas explosion, but isn’t it too much to push it so hard without anything concrete…ㅋㅋㅋ]

Perhaps they realized that they looked suspicious since they were grouped and called ‘English Nicknames’.

New numerical nicknames also appeared, further muddying the waters.

It was hard to tell if these were people who supported Woo-shin, or people who simply had a habit of arguing against everything.

“Listening to the recorded conversation, isn’t the person called the Chief of Staff strange? It’s good to reveal that he was wiretapping. But then, shouldn’t the reason for revealing it be explained? Like, ‘We have a file containing your private life, so we’ve got your weakness. If we hear any stories about organ trafficking, we’ll know you spread it.’ Something like that.”

“If they’re not going to make these threats, what good is it to reveal that they’re wiretapping? If you were a normal person, you’d naturally run home and try to remove all the wiretapping devices like Choi did. Then they can’t wiretap anymore. And what if you report it to the police? Would they just send you home without any threatening remarks? The way they talk, it sounds like they’re urging him to go home quickly.”

[Lemon Carrying Debt: What are those guys doing shielding ㅇㅎㅇ even after listening to this file ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Whether the gas explosion accident was caused by ㅇㅎㅇ and the Chief of Staff or not, it seems like they should be investigated based on these circumstances?]

[shin jongho: Agreed.]

[I Want to Eat Gwamegi: Let’s summarize this:

I Want to Eat Gwamegi: ㅇㅎㅇ has already been caught as an attempted organ trafficker, and it’s already known that the Chief of Staff is also involved (the Chief of Staff moved to an illegal medical facility by car).

I Want to Eat Gwamegi: In addition, ㅇㅎㅇ and the Chief of Staff ordered the ㅇㅅ [initials, likely referring to a specific] Hospital doctor to perform surgery at that illegal medical facility, suggesting they do organ trafficking together.

I Want to Eat Gwamegi: But the ㅇㅅ Hospital doctor refused, and ㅇㅎㅇ and the Chief of Staff tried to persuade him, but he didn’t budge.

I Want to Eat Gwamegi: Then, the next day, the Chief of Staff called the ㅇㅅ Hospital doctor and suddenly told him that his house was being wiretapped, revealing what he had heard, while subtly telling him to go home.

I Want to Eat Gwamegi: The ㅇㅅ Hospital doctor immediately grabbed a taxi and rushed home. And as soon as he got home (or 9 minutes later), a gas explosion accident occurred.

I Want to Eat Gwamegi: In this situation, the police must investigate ㅇㅎㅇ and the Chief of Staff ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What are those bastards saying it’s like catching the wrong person?]

“Good summary. Gwamegi, why haven’t you sent your desired salary yet?” Jo Bong-joon said, reading the chat with a satisfied expression.

In a recent meeting, they even said that they sincerely wanted to send Gwamegi a gift certificate once the Woo-shin case was somewhat resolved.

“Now, this is the last punch,” Choi Jong-hyun said, as they moved on to the next page.

“Do you remember us talking about the club that went to the orphanage for educational volunteer work because of the ‘Mo’ orphanage case in the past?”

[Baby Squirrel Jonghyun: Sigh.. Hearing about the orphanage makes my heart heavy again.]

[kwak jinki: Why are we talking about the orphanage again.. ?]

[sangwoo park: Orphanage talk at this timing? What did you do again?]

Viewers shuddered at the mere mention of ‘Mo Orphanage’ now, as the Angel’s House [another name for the orphanage, previously mentioned] was constantly brought up when they were about to forget about it.

“While covering this case, we wanted to confirm one thing. Im took Choi to the illegal medical facility in Miseong and ordered him to extract organs, right? Choi said that the person who was about to have their organs extracted was a minor, not a brain-dead person. A minor? Does anything feel familiar?”

[ㅗMyung-hwa Pharmaceuticalㅗ: Ah ㅅㅂ [Korean profanity] Please, you crazy bastards.]

[Give Me My Card Bill Cherry: ㅡㅡ I really feel disgusted and want to throw up.]

[Song Suro: Please say it’s not true.]

[chris park: …..;;;;;]

Kim Jung-woo displayed an image file on the screen.

It was a document with people’s names in the vertical column and dates in the horizontal column.

Some sections were intermittently crossed out.

The section where the horizontal column corresponding to April 8th and the vertical column with the name Yoo Jong-eun met was crossed out.

Of course, the names were mosaicked to protect their privacy.

“This is the attendance book that club members used when they went to ‘Mo’ orphanage for volunteer work. I asked just in case, and as expected. You see April 8th, right? What day is this? It’s the day Im ordered Choi to perform surgery at the illegal medical facility in Miseong.”

[Apolon Believer: I have nothing to say…]

[Bongjun, Let’s Go to School: ㅋㅋㅋ Where are you really going with this?]

[Sae-ah Mom: ㅡㅡ Crazy.]

[sigma: Unbelievable, really.]

Choi Jong-hyun zoomed in on the attendance book image.

Then, the letters written in the remarks column at the end of the attendance book were visible.

“You see here. 땡땡땡 [Korean slang for ‘땡땡이’ which means skipping something], sick leave. This means that this student couldn’t come to the class conducted by the volunteer club because they were sick. Fortunately, this student continued to attend after that. It means they came back.”

Jo Bong-joon checked the chat window for a moment.

There was a reaction they were waiting for.

Unsurprisingly, chats poured in asking what the student’s absence had to do with the surgery order.

Since they were already waiting for it, they continued speaking immediately.

“You’re right. They could have been really sick, or it could have been a coincidence. So we’ve prepared one more thing.”

When they moved the slide, an audio file appeared.

“We asked a friend from the same orphanage as the student who was absent on April 8th. Whether this student was really sick that day, what happened. For reference, this is a friend who still keeps in touch with the club volunteers, and we are informing you that this audio was recorded after confirming the student’s intention through the volunteer club.”

Choi Jong-hyun pressed the play button without hesitation.

[─Beep- Are you still close with the student?

─Yes. Of course.]

The student’s altered voice flowed out.

“This is Yoo-kyung, the student who helped us contact Um Sung-yoon before.

Recently, Sung-yoon said he wanted to meet his friends, so we booked a family restaurant, and Yoo-kyung came to that meeting.

After Sung-yoon and Jung-min’s case was revealed, some of the students left the Angel’s House early and moved to youth shelters or other facilities.

Choi Yoo-kyung was one of them, so there was no big burden in meeting Sung-yoon.

So we thought it was a good opportunity and subtly asked about Yoo Jong-eun.

We thought it would be good to cover it together on the broadcast.

Then Yoo-kyung cooperated, saying that she was living in the same shelter as Yoo Jong-eun after leaving the Angel’s House, so ask her anything.

It was a grateful thing, even though she must have been anxious as the Angel’s House was a hot topic.”

[─Beep- The student was sick on April 8th. Do you remember?

─April 8th? Just a moment. What day is April 8th? Ah, ah. This day?

─Yes.

─Are you asking because of that?

─What?

─It was a bit strange that day. I remember it clearly because it was a pizza party, but 삐- [Censored name] unnie [older sister/female friend] wasn’t sick at all that day.

─She wasn’t sick?

─Yes. But the director called 삐- unnie. But after that, 삐- unnie kept disappearing. So I asked the teachers.

─And then?

─They said 삐- unnie went to the hospital because she was sick. I didn’t receive any calls, so I wondered why, since she was perfectly fine. Then she came back the next day. So I asked her if she was really sick? I wondered how she could suddenly get so sick.]

At the time of this story, Yoo-kyung didn’t seem to know what had happened to Yoo Jong-eun at all.

[─Then she told me not to tell anyone, to keep it to myself, but she said she wasn’t sick.

─She wasn’t sick?

─Yes. But the director said that unnie was lacking some antibodies? She said something like that. So she could get sick. We had a group checkup a while ago. She said that it came out like that in the test, so 삐- unnie and a few others had to get more vaccinations.

─And then?

─So 삐- unnie thought that was the case and got the shot without any suspicion. Then she said she got so sleepy.

─Sleepy?

─Yes. So she fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes, it was the next day. She opened her eyes in the hospital.

─What hospital?

─Just 삐- Hospital emergency room.]

“Here, 삐- Hospital is Wooshin Hospital.”

Then the chat started going crazy.

[ㅗMyung-hwa Pharmaceuticalㅗ: Isn’t this a repertoire we’ve heard a lot?]

[Wooshin Electronics: Park, who was almost a victim of organ trafficking, also got a shot while saying she was sick even though she wasn’t, then they put her to sleep and took her to the hospital, damn it.]

[Bring Back the Handsome Lawyer: Wow… But this student is older, so they didn’t lie so blatantlyㅋㅋㅋ Because they knew she wouldn’t believe it.]

[Bongjun, Let’s Go to School: Seems like they’re not in their right mind.]

At the time of the 2009 swine flu epidemic, people who received the vaccine occasionally showed hypersensitivity and were taken to the emergency room.

Perhaps the director was thinking of this time and made that excuse.

[─And then?

─The director said that unnie had an allergic reaction to the antibody, so she fainted. So I thought that was the case. But the director told the other kids to just say she was sick, because the kids who needed additional vaccinations might be scared and not want to get them. Then she gave them pocket money.

─Pocket money? How much?

─100,000 won [approximately $80-90 USD].]

As soon as the word 100,000 won came out, the chat started going crazy.

[hyukchan ryu: Trying to shut a kid’s mouth with only 100,000 won?]

[Edward Min: Really viciousㅡㅡ]

[Jin Suong: This should also be investigated. Isn’t the director already under investigation?]

[Baby Squirrel Jonghyun: An organ trafficking henchman.]

While viewers were chatting, the recording file was heading towards the end.

[─Later, after that drug case, 삐- unnie also jokingly said that she might have been taken somewhere strange too.

─Is there a reason why she said that?

─She just said she thought she heard something in her sleep. But she doesn’t remember anything, but only a scary feeling remains. Well, she didn’t say it seriously. But this time, that organ trafficking thing……. After seeing that news, she got a little scared. I hope not? 삐- unnie also said, ‘Surely it’s not that for me’…….]

“Everyone. People who have heard this audio file will have various thoughts in their heads. We do too. The dates happen to overlap, and this student also got a shot and fell asleep in the same way as Park. What does this mean? Additional coverage is needed on this point. But I don’t think it will be easy for us. We will wait for the police investigation. They have even set up an investigation headquarters in the Gwangsu unit, so I hope they will investigate thoroughly.”

Choi Jong-hyun erased the windows that were filling the screen one by one, as if he wouldn’t say much more.

“Ah, anyway, it’s getting late. Let’s summarize today’s content.”

The slide moved to the last page.

It was a neat summary of the content covered in today’s broadcast.

“So, Dr. Im, the head of surgery who was arrested at the illegal medical facility where organ trafficking took place, is a Korean-Japanese with Japanese nationality. He lived as a thoracic surgeon with a Japanese name and as a surgeon with a Korean name. There are many more suspicious things about this, but we will definitely mention it again after the investigation is over.”

Each time Choi Jong-hyun clicked, numbered sentences popped up one by one.

“Im proposed to his junior doctor Choi, who died in a gas explosion accident, to participate in organ trafficking, took him to an illegal medical facility, and ordered him to extract organs from a minor who was not brain-dead. This minor is presumed to be a child from ‘Mo’ orphanage of the same foundation as the hospital Im belongs to. Anyway, when Choi refused, he pressured Choi along with Oh, the head of the planning and coordination office of the same hospital. Then, when Choi finally refused, he revealed to Choi that he was wiretapping his house. And as soon as Choi went home to check the wiretapping device, a gas explosion accident occurred.”

It was something I already knew, but it was amazing to see it summarized like this.

Even we, who investigated this whole situation, were shocked every time we gradually learned about it, so how would those who hear the story all at once feel?

“We will wait for the position of the ‘Mo’ foundation, which is the center of this incident, and the results of the police investigation, and end today’s broadcast. Thank you.”
