AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

ASUNG HIGH SCHOOL MATH CONTEST

We don't know who among you

will compete in the International
Mathematician Olympics.

It's a rare opportunity,
so pour all your energy into it.

I hope you'll do your best,
Asung High students. Shall we begin?

There's…

still some time left.

All right. We have to follow the schedule.

How about we pass out
the blank answer sheets first?

Let's begin.

Pass out the blank sheets.

Shall we close the door now?

I solved it.

I solved

the problem.

What's taking so long?

Tell me about it after the contest.

Paik Seung-yoo, a junior in Class No. 8,

is here to compete
in the contest, Director.

I'm so nervous
over the school math contest.

-I know.
-Wait a minute.

-I had a lucky dream last night.
-What kind of dream?

In my dream,
Ye-lin was on top of a pretty elephant.

-Is that a lucky dream?
-It sure is.

The elephant is the symbol of fame,
academics, and awards.

Seems like Ye-lin
will win the contest today.

-The results aren't in yet.
-That's true.

While Ye-lin studies a lot,
she put in extra effort for this contest.

It's a very special contest.

The winner will compete
at the Mathematician Olympics.

-We didn't order the madeleines.
-It's free.

Why so generous?

-Oh, I'm having a good day.
-What kind of good news?

Oh, gosh.

I really didn't want to tell
anyone about this…

-Seung-yoo is transferring to--
-Honey!

Did Seung-yoo come here?

Why would he come to the cafe?

He missed the interview.

He's not answering his phone.
Where the heck is he?

Thanks for the cakes.

Thanks.

-Thanks.
-Thank you.

Why are you here?

SUNG YE-LIN

There are no multiple-choice questions?

Well, she eliminated those
because we have to judge

their critical thinking skills
rather than how many they get correct.

-Ms. Ji said this?
-Yes.

Actually, I agree with her.

But for students who don't have
a good grasp of math…

Prep her for the contest.

STUDYING

MEETING IN SESSION

What? Mr. Han.

The problems will be picked
from this list. Memorize them all.

The answers have to include solutions.
So memorize it.

We'll start grading the answers.

The scores for each answer
will be determined by a point system.

We'll be very meticulous
and work together.

Have it done by today.

Okay.

So you want to compete
at the Mathematician Olympics?

What a liar.

-I'm not doing it to beat you.
-Then why do you want to enter it?

So tell me why you want to enter.

Do you even like math?

I…

have to excel.

That's my reason.

Why are you suddenly acting like this?

It's not sudden.

-What?
-I've always liked math.

Hello?

-Did you call for me?
-Hey, Ye-lin.

We graded all the answers but…

I didn't make any mistakes.

I memorized all of it.

Oh, sure. You did great.

You did a good job, but…

Come in.

You were terrific.

And I'm glad you came back.

-Someone else got a perfect score too?
-Yes.

You and Seung-yoo.

He's the worst student at our school

but it turns out he's Paik Min-jae,
the math genius.

So what will happen?
Who'll represent the school?

Regardless of who goes on
to compete at the Olympics,

I want to tell you

that I'm so happy that you came back.

I didn't come back because of you.

You said you solved that problem, right?

-Is that the solution?
-Well…

-Why?
-That's not the solution.

I made a wrong assumption halfway into it.

Oh, really?

That happens.

By the way, what did you tell your dad?

You didn't just…

-Give me your dad's number.
-I'll tell him myself.

Will you really stay?

Will you learn math here with me?

Yes.

Oh, there was a misunderstanding.

About what?

I thought you told my dad
I should transfer to a science school.

Come to the office.
The director wishes to speak to you.

Seung-yoo, could you tell me
what you were told?

I think Ye-lin should represent
our school at the Olympics.

I've taught her
since she was in 10th grade.

She can memorize
the whole equation and solution.

You have to give her points for that.

You don't solve math problems
through memorization.

Oh boy. So conceited.

Seung-yoo's solutions were
the most brilliant I've ever seen.

He used various techniques
to solve a problem.

And they were all correct.

Only one student can represent our school.
How will we decide this?

-How about we let them take another test?
-What?

Let them take a second test.

We'll pick whoever scores higher
than the other.

How did this happen?
How can we have two perfect scores?

If you had raised the difficulty level,
this wouldn't have happened.

I agree.

If I had known we would have such a tie,

I would have given a high-level problem.

I understand. You can go now.

SENATOR SUNG MIN-JOON

Okay.

Do you have something to say?

What? Why is she still in there?

I heard you were trying to transfer
Seung-yoo to a science school.

Yes, I did.

A few days ago, I told you that
a student who got the correct answer

for the math club question
would show great potential.

Well, that's Seung-yoo.

I know that. So?

He's got a very rare gift.

I'd go so far as to say that

he may become one of the greatest
mathematicians in our country.

Won't it be a proud achievement for you
if he were to graduate

from Asung High
and go on to do great things?

I'll excuse myself.

SENATOR SUNG MIN-JOON

Hello, Vice-principal.

-Hello.
-Okay.

Seung-yoo is here? At school?

This way.

Mr. Paik, you've heard
of the Mathematician Olympics, right?

Yes, it'll be held in Korea next month.

It seems that Seung-yoo wants to enter it.

I asked both of you to come
to tell you something important.

Please have a seat.

Seung-yoo got a perfect score?

Then who will represent the school?
You can only choose one student.

So I have an idea.

Senator, can you ask the organizers
if they can make an exception?

All right. Thank you.

One school is not sending a contestant,
so there's an opening.

The organizer said
they could give us their slot.

Then that's solved. Joint contestants.

Are we really going to do that?

Or we could have them take
a second test and eliminate one.

I support sending two contestants.

Mr. Paik, I'll contact you later
about the Olympics schedule.

Sure. All right.

Thank you.

Professor Cha? It's me, Noh Jung-ah.

About that student.
Her name is Sung Ye-lin.

She'll be available to participate
in your research project.

ASUNG HIGH SCHOOL MATH CONTEST

In the middle of the admission exam,
an idea popped in my head.

There was this problem
that Ms. Ji gave me.

I thought I could solve it.

I mean, I thought I had the solution.

I'll have to rework the answer.

Do you like math that much?

It's the first time in years that

you said more than one sentence to me.

Do you like math a lot?

All the mathematicians
you look up to are coming.

Go and see them.

AI technology research institute?

I'll have Ye-lin work there as an intern.

You set it all up?

The professor will also
help Ye-lin prepare for the Olympics.

She will have to do well there.

I didn't want to get upset earlier,
but I was dismayed by the outcome.

I couldn't let that kid
reap the benefits of my effort.

But you know…

I wonder about the promise you made me.

What promise?

In return for getting Asung High
accredited as a school for gifted,

you were supposed to get
Seung-yoo out of my daughter's way.

If you don't keep your promise…

Now listen.

If Asung High is designated
as a school for gifted,

it's not only good for me.

What?

Ye-lin's brother will
enroll in our school in a few years,

and it will become an Academy
of Mathematics and Arts by then.

My ultimate goal is not obtaining
special status from the city.

My dream is…

to make Asung Schools

the Eton College of Korea.

Without any public funding
from the Ministry,

I'd like to run the school
on donations and tuition alone.

An independent school not influenced
by any new educational policies.

In ten years,

most judges and politicians
will be graduates of Asung High.

And 15 years down the road
their kids will enroll in our school.

So that graduates of Asung schools

will be running this country.

So what's more important than
the reputation of Asung High?

We have a gifted student who is choosing
our school over a science school.

It always makes me happy
when we have a student

who can raise our school's profile.

2017 IMO JOINT CONTESTANTS
SUNG YE-LIN, PAIK SEUNG-YOO

That's crazy.
Why is Seung-yoo's name there?

I overheard the math teachers
talking about him.

Seung-yoo had a different name before.
Paik Min-jae?

-Yes, that was his name.
-Paik Min-jae?

-Did you know?
-He changed his name?

The math genius who enrolled
at MIT when he was ten?

Hey, Hyun-jae, Hyung-do! Did you know?

-They didn't know either.
-No way.

-Seriously?
-Wow.

Joint contestants?

We barely got approval for this,
so I hope you'll prepare them well.

I'll do my best. Thank you.

And I want weekly reports on the progress
of their preparations for the Olympics.

If your prediction

turns out to be right
and he becomes a brilliant mathematician,

then it's important that we keep a journal

of what he learned here.

Sure. I feel a great responsibility.

Yes.

PRINCIPAL OH JIN-TAEK

There was an opening, so we were able
to send two contestants.

They're Sung Ye-lin and Paik Seung-yoo.

Who will prepare them?

Math teacher Ji Yoon-su.

I want to know everything
about their preparations.

Especially Sung Ye-lin.

Congratulations, Ye-lin and Seung-yoo.

Now let's begin preparing
for the Mathematician Olympics.

IMO 2017

Mathematics Speech Competition?

Yes, you'll talk about
a subject using math terminology.

And it has to be done in three minutes.

Yes, Hone. How did it go?

What? Joint contestants?

Oh, my!

Oh, my gosh.

He came in first place
in the math contest?

Hold on. What about the science school?

-It's actress Yoo Hye-mi!
-Hello.

He's going to enter
the Mathematician Olympics?

Knock, knock. What did you pull off?

Let's talk later, Honey.

What do you mean?

How could your son get a perfect score
in math unless he cheated?

Now look here, Ms. Yoo.

Do you have Alzheimer's?
You don't remember?

When Seung-yoo went
to the same math academy with Ye-lin,

he outscored her by a huge margin.

-What?
-Don't act so arrogant.

As a parent, you get used to it.

Your kid can't always be first,
nor will they always be the worst.

And…

you're getting on my nerves.
What's with the attitude?

I'm two years older than you, after all.

Show some respect

from now on.

-My gosh.
-Move it.

My goodness.

Pick up your bag.

Seriously?

Very disrespectful of you.

Why you…

-Hello.
-Oh, hi.

These books will help you
choose your topic.

Take the ones you like.

Okay.

Come straight home after school is over.
I have to tell you something.

Ms. Ji, can I go now?

What?

I have to go to cram school.

All right.

Then choose a topic for your speech.
We'll discuss it next time we meet.

Okay.

-Did you pick a book?
-Yes.

Geometry and the Imagination,

Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy.

GEOMETRY AND THE IMAGINATION

Ye-lin.

Ye-lin. Come on.

Open your door.

-Hi, Dad.
-Hi.

Ye-lin!

What? What's wrong with Ye-lin?

She won't come out of her room
after coming home.

She hasn't had dinner either.

-Ye-lin.
-Jeez.

She's really upset.

How did that kid also get to enter
that important competition?

Why did you screw this up?

You should have done something.

Don't worry about Paik Seung-yoo.
He's not the competition.

You told me that you have
to be born with the skills to win.

How can I beat him
when he was born a genius?

You're different from the others too.
You've got a head start.

Because I'm your dad.

AI TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH

Yes! I got into the math club. Calculus!

PAIK SEUNG-YOO, SUNG YE-LIN

Yes!

I got in too!

He got in too?

Hey, Seung-yoo.

We're in the same club. Did you know that?

I put down your name on the application.
So you should thank me.

Didn't you get an 87 on the math contest?

-An 87?
-Yes, I did.

Then why didn't I get in? I got a 93.

Gyu-young didn't get in, either.

Even Gyu-young?

Hey, let's go!

Go where?

To talk to the teacher.

This doesn't make any sense.

All right. Let's go!

-But what should we say?
-We'll mount a protest.

Either she does a do-over
or we'll shut the club down.

-Hey, let's go!
-Let's go!

Let's go!

MATH CLASSROOM

Ms. Ji, wait a minute.

Why?

What?

What's wrong, Seung-yoo?

I have to prepare for the math club.

The students are angry about the club.

Is that so?

The students at this school are weird.

They get very angry about scores.

You might get insulted
if you confront them.

They might use physical force.

Don't worry. I won't let that happen.

-She's here.
-Ms. Ji.

Oh, Ms. Ji!

What are the criteria
for getting into the math club?

You said you'd base it on
the math contest scores,

but that's not the case.

That's correct.
It's not based on the scores.

Then what is it?

I scored them separately.
Creative solutions got extra points.

What's the purpose
of telling our scores then?

Could you reveal your scoring system?

Sure. Of course.

But guys.

Why do you want to join the math club?

To include it in my college application.

-That's it.
-That's why.

If that's your reason,
then there's no need to be upset.

Even if you're not part of the math club,

I'll let you all participate
in math activities.

I'm not interested in that.
Any dumb kid can do that.

Watch what you say, Gyu-young.
Show some respect.

Come during lunch tomorrow
if you want to know what it is.

Tomorrow? At lunchtime?

How can every student
participate in the math club?

Hey, tell your mom about this.

Pythagoras once said

"Numbers are the substance of all things.

Numbers rule the universe."

TEAM 6, SET THEORY AND LOGIC

I'll have the Calculus members
set up a booth during lunchtime.

Bring me a tough matter
you're dealing with.

When I go to cram school after school,
I'm always late because of traffic.

How to get to point B in the least
amount of time. I can solve that.

I need to plan a study schedule.

We can use an algorithm
to plan that. You're on Team 2.

What's your problem?

My head is big.

Go to the geometry team.

Everyone is participating
and getting credits except us.

I'll go check it out.

CALCULUS CLUB MEMBER LIST

PAIK SEUNG-YOO, SUNG YE-LIN, LEE HYUN-JAE

Gosh.

How is it possible that my son
didn't get into the math club?

Even the worst student got in.
Paik Seung-yoo!

I heard that he's actually a math genius.
Ms. Min was telling the truth.

-I know.
-He's no genius.

That's not the issue.

This is invalid!

Why did you rip it up?
Ye-lin's name is on it.

You don't have a problem with it
because Ye-lin got in.

You always do that to us.

What? Do what?

Will you stop glaring at me?

I'm going to take this up with the school.

I'll ask that math teacher
to be reassigned.

I support that.

-Me too.
-I support it.

Don't you think Ms. Ji Yoon-su
is quite unconventional?

Right. She created a math club

and then allowed the whole school
to participate in it. Isn't that weird?

You have nothing to worry about that.

I'm planning to talk to Ms. Ji
about the math club.

Please do a do-over.

You told us the math club

would be for the best students.
For our kids.

That's what you said.

Looks like Ms. Ji is not cooperating
with the school.

I really don't like her style.

Even if you don't like her,
please tolerate her.

I would never do anything
to harm the students

and parents of our school.

We hired her because we needed her.

You might thank me later.

SENATOR SUNG MIN-JOON

And instead of coming as a group,

please pick one person
to bring any issues to my attention.

I'll excuse myself.

Well…

She's acting so self-important by the day.

You're not answering.
How about we have dinner later?

Excuse me, Ms. Noh.

Was that my husband
calling you by any chance?

Yes, we have a dinner appointment.

You're having dinner?

He said he'd like to discuss
Ye-lin's preparations for the Olympics.

Oh, Ye-lin.

I see. Please support her.

-Bye then.
-Take care.

Congratulations on entering
the Mathematician Olympics.

But it's not a good feeling, is it?

To be a joint contestant
with the worst student.

You should be worried.

You might never
get the top score in math again.

Seung-yoo is on a different level.

You and I rely on hard work
and that's not enough to beat him.

Did you call for me?

It's important to prune
dead and wilting leaves quickly.

That way, it won't steal nutrients
away for the healthy ones.

I see the math club started
holding activities.

Yes.

Will you keep allowing all students
to participate in the math club?

That's my plan.

I see.

To make it fair to everyone, I see.

It used to be that power came in numbers.

But that's not true anymore.

Now it's the few who wield all the power.
The first percenters. The winners.

Your idea of fairness
could be stealing the rewards

from those who think
they deserve it for their hard work.

You understand that, don't you?

I don't really understand.

I'm not good with numbers actually.

I have a class to teach so I should go.

Ms. Ji.

Here.

This is a present.

Try to take care of it.

I wonder how this will grow

under your stubborn personality.

You came.

Did you choose a topic for your speech?

I'm going to visit an AI research
institute to get ideas.

Oh, I see.

I'll tell you my topic
after my visit and get good ideas.

If you need help or have any questions,
ask me anytime.

Okay.

And you, Seung-yoo?

Not yet.

I finished reading this book but…

This is the book I recommend.

A MATHEMATICIAN'S APOLOGY
BY G.H.HARDY

-Have you read this book?
-No.

It's an old book.

It was written by Godfrey Harold Hardy,

a 20th-century British mathematician.
It's his memoir.

G. H. HARDY IS KNOWN
FOR HIS ACHIEVEMENTS IN NUMBER THEORY

"I am interested in mathematics

only as a creative art."

"A mathematician,

like a painter or poet,

is a maker of patterns."

-There, you have your solution.
-Wow. I see.

This is too hard.

-You understand now?
-It's clear now.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Ms. Ji.

Did you write this down?

No. Why are you asking?

I found it in the book
I borrowed last time,

so I searched it on the internet.

And I found a paper
about a vector equation pattern

according to the Knight's movement
in an n-by-n matrix.

Really?

-Did you read the paper?
-Yes.

I had a lot of questions about it.

Would you like to go somewhere
with me after school?

Where?

To meet the person
who can answer your questions.

SALESIO SANATORIUM

Let's go in.

SALESIO SANATORIUM

-Wait here.
-Okay.

How many?

Three.

Good.

The least number of moves
for the Knight to checkmate the King.

I couldn't find my dad in his room.
Did he go out for a walk?

No, he was taking a nap a minute ago.

I'll look for him.

There you are.

Do you know him?

Seung-yoo, do you play chess?

I'm learning how to play right now.

Is he the person?

Yes, he wrote the paper
about the vector equation pattern

according to the Knight's movements
in an n-by-n matrix.

It's time for my walk.

Let's follow him.

Oh, okay.

Did you ask him your questions?

Not yet.

But how do you know him?

Ask him your question first.

I have a question.

It's a fascinating pattern.

I'm curious.

Is there a formula you can generally use
when the starting point is different?

And there are identical numbers
across here.

Patterns are not only in there.

You can see them there.

Do you see it?

Fractals.

Infinitely complex patterns that are
self-similar across different scales.

You can see them everywhere
in the world we live in.

The infinite within the finite.

It's beautiful.

It's gone! It's missing.

What's missing?

Where did it go?

He took it. That bastard.

Dad!

Let go of me! I have to find it!

It's a very important piece.

Could you call someone? I'm sorry.

-Okay.
-Wait!

-Teacher!
-I'm okay. Hurry!

In here!

We'll take it from here! Leave, now!

-Wait.
-Sir, what's the matter?

-My student…
-Please calm down.

-Hold him tight.
-That bastard took the key!

Ms. Ji, show me your arm.

It's all right.

I'll do it myself.

You were surprised, weren't you?

He's been here for ten years.

Sometimes, he'll be fine and be like
the math professor he used to be.

I guess he wasn't feeling well today.

He doesn't recognize you?

Sometimes, he does.

Once in a while.

Let's come here again.

I'd like to talk to the professor more.

Sure. Let's come again.

Thanks to the professor,

I have a topic idea.

You do? What is it?

Not yet.

I'll tell you after I put it all together.

All right. I'll be patient.

Okay.

-Let's go. It's late.
-Okay.

You don't like my topic?

Can you handle it? It won't be easy.

But there are mathematicians
who proved it.

Roman Opalka, Maurits Escher,

Yayoi Kusama, and Van Gogh.

ROMAN OPALKA: POLISH PAINTER
MAURITS ESCHER: DUTCH GRAPHIC ARTIST

They're relevant to your topic.

YAYOI KUSAMA: JAPANESE INSTALLATION ARTIST
VINCENT VAN GOGH: DUTCH PAINTER

Did I pass?

Yes. It's an excellent topic.

But I don't know how to connect it
to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

I see.

Don't worry about that. I'll help you.

EXHIBITION

There are quite a few related exhibitions
opening right now.

Oh, it would be nice
if we could go there too.

-Go where?
-Jeju Island.

The exhibition there is
a place you must visit. Too bad.

But let's start with visiting these.

A PAINTER WHO DRAWS TIME

Ye-lin.

Would you like to go
to this exhibition together?

We're going there
to prepare for the speech.

We're going
to the research institute later.

Oh, you do?

-I'll see you later.
-Okay.

Roman Opalka painted this in 1965

and started with drawing the number one.

For how long?

Until 2011 when he died.

This is one of his serial works.

"The idea of time was already present,

but it was a reversible time, similar
to an hour-glass or clock:

an atomization, as the repetitive
spatialization of reversible time."

"All my work is a single thing,
the description from one to infinity."

"A single thing,

a single life."

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

You're not preparing for the Olympics?

I saw Seung-yoo leave
with the math teacher after school.

What's it to you?

Beat him.

Beat Seung-yoo.

If he wins the Olympics,

that would be a hit to my pride
more than you winning it.

Infinite is the unknowable number
that will come last.

However, there will always be
an end and that's finite.

I see.

So it's both infinite and finite.

Right.

There's no exhibition
of Escher's works so that's too bad.

I know where we can find his works.

MATHEMATICIAN VISITING AN ART MUSEUM

You go up and down the stairs,
but there's no end.

It's like a Mobius strip.

Right.

The Penrose triangle is
an impossible object.

Do you know this painting?

Melencolia?

Yes.

That's the name of this painting.

Isn't it referring to depression?

That's right.

Well, depression refers to

feeling down and lethargic.

But when you keep spiraling downward,

you'll hit rock bottom.

You reach a state of nothingness.

When there's absolutely nothing,

you start hoping for a new beginning.

Is that why…

there's a ray of light shining here.

You're right.

He must have discovered something new.

Before the light vanishes.

You helped me decide my topic.

That's good to hear.

Gosh, it's pretty late.

Actually, I was hungry earlier.

I'm ready to dig in.

Seung-yoo, you make
a peculiar face when you focus.

When you're solving
a math problem, you do it.

And before when you were looking
at the art.

I like it.

-Here is your food.
-Thanks.

-Enjoy your food.
-Thank you.

Wow. It looks delicious. Let's eat.

Thanks.

Let's get home. It's really late.

Okay.

-Oh, my gosh.
-What?

Look at this.

What is this?

Isn't that Ms. Ji and Seung-yoo?

Who posted this face swap?

Gosh, I'm so impressed.

-Where did you find this photo?
-Hey Gyu-young!

I'll see you later.

I think you went too far.

I did? What did I do?

I saw what you posted. It's not cool.

Do you know who I saw last night?

Who did you see?

Ms. Ji and Seung-yoo were on a date.

A date?

It was a really late hour when I saw them.
It looked like they were dating.

They went to an exhibition yesterday
to prepare for the Olympics.

You're probably wrong.

Even if I'm wrong, I'll twist the facts.

What are you talking about?

Just wait and see.

I'll get Seung-yoo disqualified
from entering the Olympics.

PROF. JI PROVES THE FARRELL-JONES
CONJECTURE, IS HIS PROOF WRONG?

-This is amazing.
-Hey, it's high res.

-They're so into each other.
-What is it?

-Hey, what is this?
-What are they looking at?

Look at their pose.

Come on. My eyes.

-This is amazing.
-Hey.

She looks hot in a bikini.

-That's hot.
-Wow.

I saw Seung-yoo walking
behind Ms. Ji once.

He looked like he was tailing her.

-I knew it.
-Really?

You don't believe me? I really saw it.

-Why didn't you check it?
-You're insane.

-Yes, you should have gone up to him.
-He's right.

What's going on?

Hey Seung-yoo.

-What is it?
-What's the matter?

Delete it.

You piece of shit.

-Hey!
-Guys, please stop!

Stop it, Gyu-young.

You need to stop too.

Somebody hold him!

-Ms. Ji!
-Seung-yoo, that's enough. Break it up.

Seung-yoo and Gyu-young got into a fight?

Yes, they got into a physical altercation.

I think it was over this photo.

Why did you fight?

Gyu-young, speak up.

Answer me! Why did you fight?

Seung-yoo, tell me why you fought.

What's wrong with you guys?

Why aren't they saying anything?

Did you call for me?

-Did you see this too?
-Yes.

I heard that Gyu-young posted this.

Do you know why he did this?

So you know but it's difficult to tell me.

I didn't witness it myself.

Ye-lin, you're such a nice person.

Look at Gyu-young.

He responds quickly
because he sees Seung-yoo as a threat.

But you're hesitating
to say something about Seung-yoo.

This is why I can't trust you.

You're dismissed.

Gyu-young said
he saw Ms. Ji with Seung-yoo

walking together late at night.

-Gyu-young saw them?
-Yes.

He said they seemed very close.

Very close?

How so?

Speak up!

You want to take this
to the disciplinary board?

If you're suspended for bullying,
it'll be a permanent blemish.

If you're suspended,
you can't represent the school.

You don't care?

Ms. Kim.

Let me talk to them.

Will you do that?

Jang Gyu-young, Paik Seung-yoo.

Student Affairs will handle this.

Follow us.

They are in trouble now.

-Hello?
-Are you on your way?

What?

We're supposed to look
at wedding dresses at 6 p.m. today.

Oh, right. I'll hurry.

Come quickly. My mother is with me.

All right.

Ms. Kim, I have to go right now.

Could you tell me what will happen
to Seung-yoo and Gyu-young later?

Sure. I'll contact you.

Why didn't she say anything about
the apartment and furniture?

She appreciated it so much, of course.
She liked it very much.

I was going to tell you but I forgot.

Oh, you're such a dimwit.

She might think we bought the furniture
because we adore her so much.

I did it because I was afraid
she would have bad taste.

Mom, can't you warm up to her?
You approved of our marriage.

I didn't approve. We made a deal.

Don't forget your promise.

I gave my approval for this marriage

on the condition you follow
in your dad's footsteps.

Okay.

So Ms. Ji favors Seung-yoo.

And she's using the Olympics
as cover to be close to him?

That's how it goes?

Yes.

All right. You're dismissed.

What will happen to Seung-yoo?

Why do you ask?

You want him to be disqualified?

Mind your own business.

Focus on the Olympics instead.

And remember this.

I favor you much more

than Ms. Ji could ever favor Seung-yoo.

So I hope you'll repay me

for all I've done for you.

Yes, Director.

Student Affairs is counseling
Seung-yoo and Gyu-young.

Where is Ms. Ji?

She had to leave.

-She left?
-She had to tend to a personal matter.

She asked Ms. Kim to tell her
what will happen to the two boys.

Would you like to see the two?

No. Let's let them cool off.

-Ms. Ji was with Seung-yoo?
-Yes!

Gyu-young saw them.

It was past 10 p.m.
and they were walking together.

Just the two of them?
Late at night? Where?

I don't know.

Gyu-young said it looked
like they had a special relationship.

-That's insane!
-Hye-mi.

Mr. Han told me

that Ms. Ji pays special attention
to Seung-yoo.

-Special attention?
-Yes!

She insisted that Seung-yoo
had to enter the Olympics.

But they have a special relationship?

We can't allow this!

-Of course, not.
-Of course, not!

That teacher just joined the school
but she's acting weird.

Really.

It's Gyu-young's homeroom teacher.

Hello, Ms. Kim.

What?

Gyu-young got into a fight? Why?

You came?

I'm sorry for being late, Mother.

-Begin the fitting.
-Yes, ma'am.

-This way, please.
-Okay.

MS. KIM JIN-HEE

MS. KIM JIN-HEE: PHOTO SENT

The bride-to-be is here.

That's perfect.

What do you think, Mom?

Could you take a look at who it is?

A teacher called Kim Jin-hee is calling.

-Hand it to me.
-Now?

Yes.

Yes, Ms. Kim?

You sent a text?

No, I'll check it now.

-Is something wrong?
-I have to hurry back to school.

I'm so sorry, Mother.

Something important came up. I need to go.

-I'm very sorry.
-Gosh.

Wait…

Mom!

-What's going on?
-I'm sorry. I'll tell you later.

Tell me now. You're not a homeroom teacher
so why do you need to go?

I'll explain everything later.
It's really important.

It's important?

More important than
our wedding preparations?

Let's go now.

Explain everything to me later.

It better be really important.

I'd like to see

Seung-yoo and talk to him.

Where is he?

That's not possible.
Student Affairs is counseling them.

Counseling?

Gyu-young got punched first.
Why should he be receiving counseling?

Please calm down.

-Are you the math teacher?
-Yes, I am.

Why did you create this problem?

The math club has been
very controversial. Did you know that?

You dropped students who had
higher scores. That was unfair.

And it's come to this now. I'm so furious.

Regardless of Ms. Ji's actions,

Gyu-young owes Ms. Ji an apology.

How could a student do such a thing?

Well, Ms. Ji must have
behaved unprofessionally.

Teachers have to be careful
about how they behave.

I don't have time for this.

I want to see my son and Seung-yoo.

And call his parents too.

I want an apology and disciplinary action.

My husband is
the news bureau chief at TJN.

If you don't want this
to be on the news, do as I say.

Right now.

-But…
-I said right now!

I see, so Gyu-young's dad
is a news bureau chief.

Then…

Can I report this to him?

-Gyu-young posted that?
-Yes.

-He's gone insane.
-Disseminating deep fake photos

without consent
is punishable under the law.

Since your husband is in the news bureau,

he probably knows how serious this is.

And this is a sexually derogatory image.

I could ask the Teacher's Rights Committee
to discipline the student.

Oh, no…

Ms. Ji.

The disciplinary action
may include demerits,

volunteer work, suspension,
or school transfer.

I see you're very angry. What now?

It's totally understandable.

I'll tell Gyu-young to apologize to you…

Seung-yoo is also a victim
in this incident.

I request a sincere apology
for both Seung-yoo and me

as well as a promise
that this won't happen again.

If that is not possible,
then I'll take this to the committee.

No, he'll apologize!

Of course, I agree.
He owes you an apology.

Don't you think so?

Where is Seung-yoo?

Gyu-young needs to say he's sorry.

Where is Seung-yoo, Ms. Kim?

WECLASS COUNSELING OFFICE

He wouldn't tell us anything.

He wouldn't explain why he hit him
nor would he write an apology.

Using violence is wrong
under any circumstances.

But…

You were right to be angry.

You have to get angry over this.

I'm glad…

to see you get angry and also smile.

So don't shut yourself off to others.

Don't hide who you are.

LETTER OF APOLOGY

Why didn't you tell the teachers?

That I posted the deep fake photo?
Why not tell them?

By any chance,

do you like Ms. Ji?

Really?

Can I really show you…

everything about me?

Isn't he that student? The umbrella kid.

Does Paik Seung-yoo like math teacher?

That crazy bastard.
I'm going to get him someday.

You can do well, right?

Let's try this together.

Ms. Ji Yoon-su can be very useful.

Remember that.

I envy him. I liked math,
but I was not gifted like Seung-yoo.

Then you probably know how I feel.

How it feels to compete against him.

I'm sorry. I don't think I can do this.
