(The animals used were filmed under strict supervision...)

(with the utmost concern for their handling.)

(Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism)

I am in front of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Sejong.

Many reporters are here, eagerly waiting to find out...

Minister Lee Jung Eun's official response...

to the recent issues surrounding the ministry.

All eyes are on this press conference at the moment.

Yes. Are you here now?

(Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism)

(Minister Lee Jung Eun)

(Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism)

Hello.

I am Lee Jung Eun, the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Today, I stand before you to provide answers...

to the recent issues...

surrounding the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

But before that,

I'd first like to address the personal issue,

which has been troubling me for the past few days.

My husband, political commentator Kim Sung Nam,

was abducted by a group of unidentified men on Tuesday,

and I still do not know his whereabouts.

May we ask questions?

- Could you please tell us more? - Any idea who might be behind this?

- How did it happen? - Minister!

- May I ask just one question? - Minister!

Finally, the cat is out of the bag.

This is neither the Ministry of Justice nor the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Why is it that we must experience...

such a crazy commotion every time we get a new culture minister?

I know. When you work for the government, it can't always be sunshine and rainbows.

But politics...

All this, for the sake of politics?

This year, the culture and sports industries truly suffered...

due to the unforeseen circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

I sincerely hope...

that the situation improves in the new year.

Let's all work hard and do our best.

Minister Min, we can still see you.

Minister Min, we can see you.

Minister Min.

Go ahead and turn off his camera.

- Minister Min! - Come here.

- Come here. - Minister Min!

Stop! We have an emergency.

We received a tip-off that North Korea may have launched a DDoS attack.

Sir, we need you to approve the special memo at once.

Five, four, three, two... No!

(Minister Min Chul Woo)

He said that was how they trained dogs in Northern Europe.

No one will buy that, right?

How about we say that it was a deepfake video...

and get the media to blast it out?

First, tell that idiot to pack up his things and leave at once.

We've been dealing with this mess for days now!

He unashamedly asked...

if he could receive his severance pay as part of his pension payments.

All right. We don't have time.

We must find his successor as soon as we can.

You've already compiled a list, right?

First, let's check out the candidates.

(Kim Boo Joong, Lee Myung Jun, Yoo Ji Woong)

There are so many.

We can use the method of elimination to narrow them down quickly.

Okay. First, let's eliminate all male candidates.

And if their sons were exempted from military service.

Multiple home ownership, fake resident registration.

Tax evasion, thesis plagiarism.

Those who posted pictures from team dinners...

when social distancing was raised to level 2.5.

Those who'd use the minister title...

as a stepping stone for the presidential election next year.

- All out! - All out!

(The Republic of Korea, Cheongwadae)

Now, there is no one.

Bring them all back!

(An Geun Ho, Kim Boo Joong, Lee Myung Jun, Yoo Ji Woong)

Then why don't we revisit the candidates who own multiple homes?

We can tell them to sell the houses.

What kind of idiot would sell their houses...

in exchange for the minister title?

If we really want to sort out this unprecedented situation,

a mediocre appointment won't do.

We need a sensational figure.

Do you have someone in mind?

Why don't we try to think outside the box?

(There was a girl.)

There was a girl.

How long is this video?

Seventeen minutes, sir.

You may remove your mask.

We don't have time, so please try to make this quick.

So who is this girl?

(There was a girl.)

Lee Jung Eun?

She was a member of the opposition party up until a few months ago.

You think she should be our next culture minister?

Then the opposition party will lose an ally,

and we'll gain one.

So it'll help us out.

- Fire! - Keep watching.

A three-time Olympic medalist.

After serving in the Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps,

she volunteered to be deployed overseas.

Next.

From Angola to the Zaytun Division, she's experienced it all.

She's a seasoned gunnery skills trainer.

Rumor had it that she was an NIS agent,

but it turned out to be a groundless rumor.

Anyway, no wonder the conservative party wanted to join hands with her.

She is an icon of patriotism.

They recruited her and made her a member of the National Assembly,

but they practically neglected her for the past four years.

To them, she was nothing but an extra hand.

She wasn't even nominated for the most recent general election.

At the height of her distress, she fell in love.

Ironically, with Kim Sung Nam, a liberal commentator.

There were some articles that called them the Romeo and Juliet of Yeouido.

Kim Sung Nam? Is he an actual commentator?

He was on par with the members of Naggomsu, the progressive podcast.

And he's very close to Chin Jung Kwon.

He appeared on TV a few times...

because he was the best-looking one out of them.

Well, who cares?

At least her husband is on our side, you know?

Okay, that's all great.

But will people think we're appointing a puppet who lacks expertise?

(We will launch a separate investigation unit!)

That was one of our election slogans.

Lee Jung Eun had proposed a bill concerning a similar issue.

And she is still staying in touch with the student she helped back then.

Min Jung, what do you want for lunch?

I don't have much of an appetite these days.

How about super spicy tteokbokki and fried rice?

I could eat that.

Hey. Your mom's here, Min Jung.

Mom!

She still hardly smiles...

even though plenty of time has passed.

We may never get to see her smile brightly again.

And the thing is, there are many more kids like her.

I served as an assemblywoman for four years...

but couldn't change a thing.

I told you. You were in the wrong political party.

You were a magnanimous lady trapped in the world of the small-minded.

Just think of it as Gulliver's first journey.

You use the Gulliver analogy all the time.

You like this analogy.

Go, Gulliver!

How about you embark on your second journey as a minister?

The current administration only has a year left.

Do you think I can achieve anything if I get a free ride now?

Honey, history is written...

in injury time.

You can do it.

She is like a model student who will diligently work...

to carry out the campaign promises that remain unfulfilled.

And even if that fails,

we can blame it on her incompetence, so I'd say she is a safe choice.

We shouldn't work too hard but can't slack off at the same time,

so I think she is the perfect person for the role.

Okay. Get ready to report this to Mr. President.

(National Assembly)

The administration handled real estate issues...

in such an amateurish manner. Am I wrong?

What? "Amateurish?" Are you done?

No, I'm not done yet.

- What? - You need to get to the bottom of it!

What did you say?

- How dare you... - Order!

- You're one to talk! - Gentlemen!

Comparing politics to pro wrestling...

is such a cliche.

But seeing this ridiculousness after a whole year,

I can't help but be reminded of what the two have in common.

They only fight when there's an audience.

(Stenographer)

It's a scripted show.

But it's a show...

that not everyone can do because you could get hurt.

Gentlemen!

This is a confirmation hearing...

for the culture minister nominee.

Please don't forget why we're here today,

and let's focus on evaluating the nominee's qualifications.

- Can we... - Please be quiet!

Why are you yelling?

At times, they even drag the moderator into their brawl...

and focus on their roles.

- Okay! Please sit down. - Let me talk!

- I did! Please sit down. - I yield the floor.

But once they hold the microphone,

they don't have anything new to say. It's a symbiotic relationship.

I will speak.

Hello, I am Assemblywoman Cha Jung Won representing Yeonmi-gu, Incheon.

I will ask a few questions.

However, not all villains...

are the same.

Ms. Lee Jung Eun and I used to be in the same party.

Ms. Lee, you're like a national hero.

First and foremost,

I'd like to congratulate you on your nomination.

You didn't accomplish a lot...

during your time as a member of the National Assembly,

but I do not think it was your fault.

You were just wearing clothes that didn't fit you.

I thought you were going to...

start a new chapter in your life as a stay-at-home mother.

But instead, you decided to make a fool of yourself by letting them...

bring you on as a puppet while they kill time...

I feel bad for my new boss.

She'll be so intimidated on her first day.

Why did you turn it off? I was watching it.

Watching the boss get bashed will wreak havoc on the staff's discipline.

You and I can look down on her,

but not the staff.

Good point.

This tastes awful.

You don't need to delete every video that has the former minister...

but delete all the animal-related content.

No! Not "Tiger Is Coming!"

It's not animal-related.

It got so many views.

Don't touch things like that.

Yes, delete videos like this.

Come here.

I thought we deleted this. Who keeps reposting it?

Come here.

Come here.

- That's it! Good boy. - Delete everything related to...

dairy products as well.

I don't care what you do at home, even if you eat poop.

Please just don't let us find out.

(Confirmation Hearing)

Right, first of all...

My gosh, I'm sorry.

(Nominee Lee Jung Eun)

(CS Investigation Unit)

Are you nervous?

A little. Like the Asian Games.

Tell them all about the CS Investigation Unit.

(If you've got something to say, meet up later.)

Ms. Lee, you don't look like you're feeling too well.

Would you like to take a break?

If you've got something to say, meet up later.

It's okay. I can answer the question.

First and foremost, I entered politics...

thanks to Assemblywoman Cha Jung Won, whom I deeply admire.

It is all thanks to her that I can be here today.

Thank you, Assemblywoman Cha.

Could I have the slideshow on the screen?

As you can see,

the Investigation Unit Dedicated to Culture and Sports Crimes,

"CS Investigation Unit" for short...

Hold on. Just a moment, please.

Did any of you attend the holiday dinner...

at the barbecue restaurant in Yeouido at around 8 p.m. last night?

Anyone?

Raise your hand if you were there.

Assemblyman Chu Min Woo who attended the dinner last night...

has tested positive for COVID-19.

We must suspend this confirmation hearing at once.

The staff from Yeongdeungpo Health Center are here, so follow their instructions.

Assembly members and staffers...

who were at the restaurant yesterday, please come this way.

You with the green tie.

You can't just walk out.

"You with the green tie?" How dare you?

- Go stand over there! - You jerk!

- You need to cooperate! - Forget it!

They say they're doing this to prevent the spread of COVID-19,

but this is political oppression.

They're trying to control the citizens!

This means we have to quarantine for two weeks, right?

But this will go down in history as the shortest confirmation hearing.

From now on, I'll go ahead and call you Ms. Minister.

No one cares about my confirmation hearing.

I wonder why Cha Jung Won came so diligently prepared.

Well, I'm not sure.

If her former aide doesn't know, then I'm sure no one knows.

I'll organize the ministry's plans for next year...

and send them to you so you can go over them at home.

Mr. Kim Soo Jin.

Are you really okay with working as my personal secretary?

I look forward to working with you again, ma'am.

Hey, how dare you?

- What's your problem? - You little...

What is wrong with you? Get your act together, jerk!

What did you say?

(Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism)

I am Lee Jung Eun, the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Congratulations on the official uniform fashion show...

for the 102nd Korean National Sports Festival.

The third Korea Accommodation Festival is...

Artist Woo Yong Gil's "Hope and Peace."

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea...

I'll do it again.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism...

and the Korea Tourism Organization...

organized this promotional event where you can enjoy discounts on accommodation.

The main motif was an artwork that expresses freedom.

This conch shape here...

signifies the hope in your heart,

and the green cloud here means freedom.

Freedom? Why? Does this remind you of freedom?

Anything that costs less than 70,000 won a night is reduced to 30,000 won,

and any accommodation deals that costs over...

Gosh, this is hard. Accommodation.

Yes, it signifies freedom.

It kind of looks like poop.

But please note that the coupons can't be used...

if you're renting a room for just a few hours.

I'm sorry, but does the minister really have to explain this?

The Ministry of Tourism specifically asked that you do this.

Well, I think we have enough.

Let's move on.

"The National Assembly's Poetry Reading Night,"

"Opening address."

Do we have to record this too?

We don't have to.

Then let's skip this.

Then you'd have to go to Yeouido and read it aloud there.

- Goodness. Let's just record it now. - Yes, ma'am.

You just need to mention the Assembly members' names.

I think we should do it again with something in the foreground.

How about we have Ms. Minister sit by the window?

Please refrain from using Japanese words.

We're recording the Minister's vlog.

I see. We're sorry.

- Let's talk outside. - Yes, ma'am.

- Sorry. - After the shoot, can you...

- Let's talk outside. - Yes, ma'am.

We're sorry.

Hey, can you go downstairs and grab that thing from my car?

What is "that thing?"

You know, that thing. The thing we need to shoot it, the way I mentioned earlier.

Oh, that thing.

(Minister's Office)

Ma'am, Mr. Ko Ji Sub here...

will be your driver and bodyguard until the situation is cleared up.

I am Ko Ji Sub, ma'am.

I'm honored to work with you.

Nice to meet you. I heard you worked in the Presidential Security Service.

I feel safe now.

I'll do my best.

- We're ready now. - Okay, thank you.

Before I get started,

I have to check Ms. Minister's office for about 30 minutes.

Everyone here, including Ms. Minister,

must wait at least 20m away from the office.

Please leave the office.

Do you have to do it now? We're very busy at the moment.

It should've been completed before Ms. Minister arrived.

I apologize. The dispatch process was delayed.

- Please leave the office. - May I have a word with you?

Sure.

Please step out for a moment.

- Please. - Gosh, seriously.

Then please finish it in ten minutes.

Safety comes first.

Jang In Kyu has already been released?

Yes. His sentence was reduced to one year at his retrial.

Please stop recording now.

The prosecutor filed an appeal right away,

but he already served his sentence,

so he won't be detained while being tried in the Supreme Court.

Do you think Min Jung is in danger?

Her mother must be worried too.

Jang In Kyu is wearing an electronic ankle monitor,

and the court has granted an order of protection for Min Jung,

so you don't need to worry too much.

I see.

I'm actually more worried about you, ma'am.

Me?

Hate crimes...

targeting high-ranking female officials...

have been on the rise.

They're probably just hate comments you see on social media all the time.

I believe...

that the dead cat found in front of your residence the other day...

was also their doing.

They killed a cat?

Do I really have to worry about such losers?

It may be uncomfortable, but you need a bodyguard now.

It's probably the president of KSOC.

"Congratulations on the launch..."

"of the Advisory Committee for the Preparations..."

"for the Investigation Unit Dedicated to Culture and Sports Crimes."

That's the message from his executive secretary.

What's with that wordy message?

Are they making fun of us?

We are doing something that has never been done before.

Hence the long name.

It's Mr. Lee Jung Han, the floor leader.

"Good luck with the launch ceremony tomorrow."

That means he can't come.

I feel like I'm in this alone.

"Do whatever you want. We'll give you all the support you need."

I feel like they all said that to me yesterday.

But you have me, ma'am.

Can we bump up the resolution?

And the lights are too bright.

Dim them a little during the ceremony tomorrow.

- Jun Soo! - Yes, sir!

I sent you Woo Ga Eun's interview from a few years back.

The one where she talks about what the coach did to her. Remember?

I hired a voice actor and recorded it.

- Cut it down to two minutes. - Yes, sir.

- And add some sad music. - Yes, sir!

Why didn't you take me yesterday?

What are you talking about? I'm busy.

I heard everything.

You had dinner with Mr. Um in Ichon-dong on the weekend.

- Goodness. - You even had damselfish sashimi.

I love damselfish.

I can't call you on weekends. I'm scared of your wife.

Not my wife yet. Anyway, so?

Will you be appointed Vice Minister at the year-end?

Are you crazy? Don't say stuff like that.

Do you think I'm an idiot?

There's got to be a reason why they suddenly sent...

an important member of the Ministry of Economy and Finance here.

Or are you seeking a nomination?

Hey, seriously.

Jun Soo, can I see it if you're done editing it?

Yes, sir!

I heard the higher-ups feel uneasy about the CS Investigation Unit.

Are you going to be okay?

Aren't you working too hard?

It's because of this woman.

What can I do? She is clueless.

I must make sure this event looks decent so we're not embarrassed.

That way, she won't go off on her own, which loose cannons like her tend to do.

Right. And you can take credit for it all.

If you do get appointed Vice Minister, send me abroad for about three years.

Just go now, for 30 years.

- For 30 years? - Sir.

This is Ms. Woo Ga Eun, who will be joining us tomorrow.

- Hello. - Hello, I'm Woo Ga Eun.

I'm Choi Soo Jong. Thank you for taking the time to join us.

Mr. Seo Do Won here is in charge of the event tomorrow,

so please let him know if you have any questions or concerns.

Well, I read the script you sent.

But while going through it,

I found some parts that I'd like to change.

Pardon me?

I'd like to tell my experience in an unemotional way.

I see.

It'll be faster to speak with the staff in the Communications Office.

I see.

Mr. Seo, I'll play the recording we spoke about earlier.

I was hit every day.

Every single day, he hit me and touched me.

You can hear it, right?

At midnight,

I'd hear him knock on my door.

- Then, I'd feel... - Oh, this.

We were just watching a reenactment...

to remind ourselves of the seriousness of the issue...

in preparation for the event tomorrow.

But this music is...

Hey, this music must be from something else.

It's what you asked for earlier. Should I make it louder?

No! It's not that...

That girl will never be able to rise again, right?

Can one of you take Ms. Woo Ga Eun to the Communications Office?

- Yes, sir. - You can follow him.

This should never happen again.

Sir, you can hear it, right?

Even though I'm already ruined...

You little...

Do Won keeps calling you my wife.

Goodness. Couldn't they have found someone better?

What's wrong?

Hey, that girl was physically abused by her coach for seven years?

What?

She needs to at least look like a victim.

My goodness.

Are you sure...

she was sexually abused by her coach for seven years?

She's smiling in all her social media photos.

This is nuts. What should we do?

We have the guest list, right?

At this rate, we won't get a single decent article out of this.

Can we even fill up the audience?

Can't we just invite Minister Lee's husband and his podcast listeners?

Kim Sung Nam? Forget it. No one cares about him anymore.

Or maybe people do still care a little bit.

He's only attacking the current affairs magazine.

That guy is definitely center-right.

My gosh.

Become a revolutionary and turn the world upside down.

A revolution. Okay, Sylvester?

Stallone is handsome because he takes after his daddy.

Right? Everyone's surprised when I tell them he's adopted.

They all think he's my real son.

I didn't know you were married.

So your wife is that Lee Jung Eun?

Yes, that's right.

The master of shooting, the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Every woman's role model and Sylvester Stallone's mom.

Too bad.

(Our baby Sylvester Stallone didn't get into the kindergarten.)

But he's been neutered.

My gosh.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Why are you recording this in front of the restroom?

Are you all right, ma'am?

Yes.

I was asked to show how down-to-earth you are, ma'am.

Oh, I see.

Where are you headed, ma'am?

I'm headed to the cafeteria to have lunch.

What's on the menu today?

Mr. Kim Soo Jin, what's on the menu today?

Just a moment, please.

Ma'am.

Assemblyman Min Ki Sik, who is the chair of the Advisory Committee...

Broccoli and carrots are good for you.

They were probably worried about their friend's health.

I'm thinking that is why...

they fed their friend all their side dishes.

It is said that the leader of the bullies...

is the son of Assemblyman Min in the ruling party.

Even after forcing their friend to eat all the leftover side dishes,

they are showing no remorse. With the growing criticism,

national petitions are pouring in...

We should be grateful.

If the news broke after we announced that he'd be the chair of the committee,

we'd be getting roped into it too.

You're right.

Thank you, Mr. Choi. That makes me feel better.

It's my specialty.

Even in the worst possible situation, I can think of something worse.

All right.

Ma'am, could you tell us what's going on now?

- Well... - Go away, kiddo.

Mr. Kim.

Do you have a plan B?

No, I haven't thought of it yet.

How about Minister Lee heads the committee herself?

She'll be gone in a few months.

Are you helping her retire comfortably?

I heard you were a star player in Yeouido.

Anyway, we must find Min Ki Sik's replacement by the end of the day.

We only have a day. Should we just pick anyone?

No. It has to be someone whose name makes you think of women's rights,

human rights, and culture.

Min Ki Sik is a three-term assemblyman,

so his replacement has to be on par with him. Okay?

Mr. Kim, are you listening?

Yes, sir.

The senior presidential secretary will also be attending...

the National Assembly's Poetry Reading Night.

It looks like we have to re-record Minister Lee's video for the event.

I'm sorry, but she doesn't have time this afternoon.

Five minutes would do. You can free up that much time in her schedule.

"Senior Presidential Secretary Um Dae Hyub."

It takes five minutes to add that?

We have to re-record the whole thing.

We can't just record his name and add it to the other clip.

Hold on. The National Assembly's Poetry Reading Night?

Who's attending?

Kang Sun Woo, Kim Sung Hwan, No Hong Rae, Jin Sun Kyu, Cha Jung Won.

Assemblyman Do Jong Hwan will recite his poem, "Ivy."

Okay, let's send her to the event.

Sorry?

Good idea. She can go there and get Assemblyman Jin Sun Kyu on board.

He's the star of the progressive party,

and he and Minister Lee had the talk at the human rights film festival.

No.

Let's go with Cha Jung Won.

Why are you all giving me that look?

We need a shocking move if we want to be in the media spotlight.

She's a woman, a former prosecutor, and a multi-term assemblywoman.

She has proposed multiple amendments to the National Sports Promotion Act.

We won't find a better person for the CS Investigation Unit.

Even so, must we choose someone from the opposition party?

You all know who the deputy chief of the Corruption Investigation Office is.

Besides, since when was Minister Lee on this side?

Is Cha Jung Won really our best choice?

Oh, you were getting more food.

Let me hear your opinion.

Sure.

I think she is our best choice because of your awkward relationship with her.

She'll generate more buzz than Min Ki Sik would.

And I listed all the other reasons just now.

What do you all think?

If you're going to Yeouido, we won't have to re-record the clip.

The car is ready, ma'am.

I'll take that. I want to go over it on the way.

Sure.

(Speech Script for Advisory Committee Launch)

You were a little offended, weren't you?

Pardon me?

I like that Mr. Seo is a go-getter,

but he's rough around the edges.

Don't take it to heart.

I won't, ma'am.

Anyway, how am I going to persuade Cha Jung Won?

- Here. - Thank you.

This is NCORE's brochure.

AI and the metaverse.

If you can use these tools to control other people's minds...

It'll be bad, right?

(Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism)

The ceremony tomorrow will decide the future...

of the ministry and Minister Lee.

Your futures?

To be honest, I don't really care.

However, this is our opportunity to shine.

I don't care who our boss is or what this is for.

It is still our project, so we must make it work.

Do Won deserves to be promoted to vice minister at least.

It will happen if he can stop...

trying to control everything.

Too bad.

- What? - For the sake of our country.

Because he'll never want to give up control.

We need a full audience, no matter what.

We've prepared swag bags too.

Each bag consists of a flash drive, a travel toiletry set, and a towel.

(Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism)

Oh, we can't give out towels for hygienic reasons.

And most importantly, those of you with close ties to the media.

Our regular pool of reporters won't be enough.

Invite every reporter you know. Do you all understand?

All right. Let's shout "MCST" together three times.

Ready, go!

- MCST! - MCST!

Now, "CS Investigation Unit." Three times. Ready, go!

- CS Investigation Unit! - CS Investigation Unit!

No matter what anyone says

The MCST is

(Dailyism)

(Conservative Innovation)

(K-pop Trainees' Cryptocurrency Addiction)

Hello, Dailyism. This is Shin Kyo Hwan.

You're Shin Kyo Hwan, right? The journalist.

I'm the trainee you interviewed yesterday.

I interviewed many people yesterday.

Was it about the sports betting site or the crypto coins?

The coins...

I mean, Bitcoin.

You won't reveal our names in your story, right?

Who wants to go to Sejong with me tomorrow?

Does anyone want to go to Sejong with me?

Of course, there's no one.

My gosh. They're giving out lots of freebies.

But everyone is waiting for the upcoming presidential election.

No one is going to the MCST's event tomorrow, right?

I'm not going either.

My goodness. You scared me.

Gosh.

What's up? Are you going?

Yes.

Anyone else?

Goodness. Is it really going to be just you and me?

- Why? - You know why.

I'll feel so uncomfortable.

Then why haven't you fired me?

I'm keeping you to receive the small business support fund.

Seriously, anyone else wants to go?

Darn it.

What? Go back to your desk.

I hope we can all recite poems...

more often in our day-to-day lives.

Please enjoy the event.

Thank you.

Let's give Minister Lee Jung Eun a big round of applause.

Now, let's welcome Assembly Kim Jung Bok to the stage with a big hand.

- Ma'am. - My gosh.

Mr. Um.

I saw the news about Assemblyman Min Ki Sik's son.

I was the one who recommended him. What a shame.

You must be very disappointed.

No, it's okay.

Actually, I was wondering if I'd be able to consult you on this matter.

Sure, of course. Go ahead.

There are too many people here.

My goodness. It's okay.

It'd actually be safer here. Let's sit down and talk.

- But... - Please, this way.

The title is, "The Pattern Behind the Great Leap."

"Taking a leap with a sad faith."

You will be attending the launch ceremony tomorrow, right?

Well, I should be there.

However, Mr. President is leaving in two days...

to visit the ten ASEAN countries,

so I have a lot to take care of before his departure.

I see.

On top of that, he'd like to meet with religious leaders tomorrow.

He's working so hard right to the end of his presidency.

Truthfully, I don't have the time or energy to help the ministers...

with their individual projects.

But the CS Investigation Unit...

was your suggestion to begin with.

My goodness. That is not important.

We're all working together, you know.

As for the CS Investigation Unit...

I suggest you work on it with a mother's heart.

- Pardon? - "To meet my mother..."

If you're not comfortable with that, how about with sisterly love?

So we can gently take care of the issue. What do you think?

Mr. Um, I'm not quite following.

Well, we should refrain...

from dispiriting those who work in the culture and sports sectors.

Is that what Mr. President said too?

As you know, he is not one to explicitly comment on such matters.

Mr. Um, I'm a little confused right now.

Would you like me to launch the CS Investigation Unit as planned?

Or would you like to squash the plan...

I'll just say this one thing.

Well, we need everyone in the sports industry...

to step up their game for the big projects that are in the works.

"Big projects?" Like what?

You'll find out soon.

We're in this together, you know?

We are, right?

Yes.

Now, Mr. Um Dae Hyub, the Senior Presidential Secretary,

will recite "Fisherman's Calendar" by Yoon Seon Do.

Let's welcome him with a big round of applause.

My gosh, you did very well.

Please put on some traditional music that suits the poem.

Assemblywoman Cha Jung Won is in the green room. I checked.

I'll make sure to get her on board to show those jerks.

I'll get down on my knees if I have to.

This will be uncomfortable for you. Just wait here.

- You wait here too. I'll be fine. - But still...

This is the National Assembly Proceeding Hall. And who am I?

You're the minister of...

Right, you've won gold medals in shooting.

Okay.

She's proud because she participated in the Olympics in the past?

Mr. Um kept dropping hints,

yet she still doesn't know?

That no one cares about the CS Investigation Unit.

And that it's just an event...

that was planned to kill time until the show ends.

Ma'am.

We're not at the Olympics. This is a pro wrestling match.

Everyone just needs to follow the script and play their roles...

so they can land their next roles.

The same goes for me.

Come in.

Hello, ma'am. It's me, Kim Soo Jin.

May I come in?

You're getting your makeup done.

I'm sorry, but could you step out for a moment?

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

What do you want?

It's been a while, ma'am.
