You're a labor attorney.

To hold a protest, you must give at least 48 hours' notice

to the local police with the time, location, and organizer details.

Didn't you know?

The Assembly and Demonstration Act was violated.

According to a Supreme Court ruling,

picketing within the workplace isn't subject to that notification requirement.

So what prior notice?

If you know so much, don't argue with me about it.

Take it up with the court.

All we did was chant a few words.

Detaining me for that is an overreaction, isn't it?

Chant a few words?

You had a gong and everything!

Detective! The gong wasn't me! It was Ko Gyeon-u…

Over the shoulder…

If you hook it over your shoulder like this,

this area here stretches out.

What're you doing?

Why are you so late? Did you get what I asked for?

Do it properly.

It's like this. Pull this back.

Hey!

God, seriously.

Hey.

You've lived with me for decades, but you don't know my favorite ice cream?

Don't you know I only eat cones?

Just eat what's there.

I have enough to deal with as it is.

Geez.

Why?

Did something happen?

It's just…

Today, we…

No, never mind. Don't worry about it.

You know I hate it when people don't finish what they're saying.

What is it?

My boss, the one you hate,

was taken in by the police.

I knew this day would come.

No Mu-jin's really outdone himself.

He messaged me a few days ago, thanking me,

so I knew something was off with him,

but he actually messed up.

Hey, Na Mi-joo.

Shouldn't you at least be asking why he ended up going to the police station?

He's still family to you!

And Mi-joo,

have you once given me spending money when I was in school?

How is that relevant right now?

Have you ever cared enough to ask if I was doing okay?

You were always too busy with your own studies

to pay me any attention.

And the few times I asked for help, you told me off for not knowing.

But Mu-jin?

He was broke and didn't have any time either,

but he carved out time to give me spending money and tutoring sessions.

Not even Gangnam's top math tutors could've taught me better.

You don't know anything.

He should've spent that time working on himself.

You really don't get it, do you?

Forget it. Why do I even bother?

You're always trying to see the worst in him,

so you can't see his good side.

I mean, what did he do that was so wrong? Aside from losing that money.

It's amazing how he puts up with your temper.

He's a saint, I tell you.

God, seriously!

Why do you keep pacing back and forth? It's cramped in here as it is.

I'm too restless to stay still. I really need to get out of here.

Doing that won't get you out of here. You're driving me nuts!

Mr. No Mu-jin, let's go.

Aren't you coming out?

If you'd rather stay in there, be my guest.

You're still doing that?

Just eat more tofu so you don't end up back there.

- Why aren't you eating? - I'm on a diet.

Hey, you don't even have any weight to lose.

You're fine the way you are.

How is it? Good?

- Why? Is it too hot? - It's hot.

Oh no, oh my God. Hold on.

- Is it still hot? - Yeah, it is.

I'm so sorry. Oh no.

Oh my gosh.

What was that?

It feels like I'm burning up inside.

God, that's so cheesy!

That takoyaki.

It burns when you swallow it whole.

Right, the takoyaki.

You're so much work, seriously.

Water…

Have some water.

Oh, that's hot.

Damn it.

Why's it so hot?

I told you I'm on a diet.

But you like this one.

This better not be how you're paying me.

- You didn't spit on it, did you? - You saw that?

What was that message the other day?

Message?

Were you day drinking?

I've been to places like this before with her.

She's such a kind and thoughtful person.

THANKS, MI-JOO, FOR

God, that idiot!

He cut in out of nowhere!

THANKS

Oh, that?

I was thankful.

For what?

Just this and that.

For today as well.

What's with you?

I heard what happened.

But it wasn't worth getting arrested over.

It concerns my mom.

When else would a lousy son like me be of help?

You should've made an effort before.

I know. I'm regretting how indifferent I've been to my family.

You should come back home.

Are you serious right now?

I messed up, so why should you leave home?

I can eat and sleep at the office, so you can just return home.

Above all else,

if you're there, Hui-joo gets really stressed.

She keeps complaining that you nag too much. So much complaining--

Whatever. I have a trial to get to.

You finish this.

Please send me photos once in a while. I'm lonely.

What is going on with him today?

I even have dreams!

About Ppokku.

Videos would be even better.

I asked Hui-joo, but she won't listen.

She doesn't have any knots here.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Do you do Pilates? - No, I just use them all the time.

- What? - What's going on?

- Okay, seize them. - What?

What are you doing?

Just ignore them and seize everything quickly.

What are you doing?

Can't you hear me?

What are you doing?

No, you can't!

Stop!

This is ridiculous!

Why…

What happened?

You went through so much because of us.

No, not at all. But what happened here?

- Did you eat with Mi-joo? - Yeah, I did, but what in the…

What?

TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE

They took all our banners

and ruined our picket signs too.

Instead of sitting here like this, we should go on that strike thing.

Let's do that!

Well, you can't just go on strike because you want to.

You need to form a labor union

and try negotiating with the university several times first,

and when that doesn't work out, then you can go on strike.

That labor union, we'll go ahead and form one.

- What? - Why shouldn't we?

Judging by the way they're behaving,

if we stop here, they'll treat us even worse than before!

So we might as well

finish what we started!

Yes, we should just form one!

- Yeah, let's do that! - Let's start one!

We should do it!

Form one for us!

Let's go for it!

They've gone too far!

Let's do it!

- Form one for us! - Do it for us!

Do you remember how Ms. Park was fired unfairly?

- Yes. - We could be next.

Then you should join the labor union.

I can't do that.

- Why? Oh, come on. - I can't.

They even shut down our lounge. We need to stand together.

You don't know how much that helps.

Date, signature.

Exactly. We did nothing wrong.

That's all you need to write. And we absolutely must sign them.

I SUBMIT MY APPLICATION TO JOIN

Did you all get a ballot?

Yes.

The union bylaws, election of the chairperson,

and election of other officers.

Please circle "for" or "against" for these three items.

And fold it in half so others can't see,

then put it in the ballot box.

Now then,

we will begin the founding ceremony

of the Hankuk University Custodial Workers' Union.

First, we'll hear a few words

from our first union chair, Mr. Oh Jang-geun.

- Goodness. - Congratulations.

Thank you.

Yes, hello. I'm Oh Jang-geun.

I usually don't enjoy holding titles like this,

but the weight of it is not lost on me.

We see each other every day, so I'll keep this short.

Let's win this!

The Hankuk University Custodial Workers' Union has three main demands.

Abolish unfair testing,

reinstate Ms. Park Myeong-suk, who was unfairly dismissed,

and recognize the late custodian Kim Yeong-suk's death as work-related.

I'll explain the university's position in one go, so please listen closely.

"One. The tests were conducted to enhance employees' knowledge and job competency,

so there is no basis for dispute."

- But… - "Two. Custodian Kim Yeong-suk

was confirmed to have died from a heart attack unrelated to her work."

- Stress about the tests… - Keep listening.

"We regret these unsupported allegations."

"Three. If these unreasonable and unlawful collective actions continue,

the university may be forced to seriously reconsider contract renewals."

Is that a threat?

That is the university's official position.

Then we'll take it the first negotiation fell through.

Yes, well, take it however you want. Let's go.

- You're not even trying. - They can't just walk away like this.

There were 60 in favor, 8 against, and 2 invalid votes.

We have 85% in favor.

So I declare

that our strike has been approved.

CUSTODIAN KIM YEONG-SUK'S DEATH WAS WORK-RELATED

WE WON'T STOP UNTIL HANKUK UNIVERSITY RESPONDS

Let's shout it together!

Take back unfair dismissals!

Take it back!

Reinstate the fired worker!

Reinstate!

Inhumane knowledge tests!

Abolish them now!

Abolish them now!

Tent sit-in, Day 1!

Day 1!

This looks delicious.

I'm impressed.

It's nice eating this delicious food,

but without us cleaning, the trash is piling up.

I feel really nervous.

Oh, come on!

Don't say things like that and just enjoy your food!

That's right. We can't lose heart now.

Eat up and stay strong.

- Okay! - Okay!

Yes, eat up and fight!

- Fight! - Fight!

An apology is just the start!

Improve our working conditions!

Improve! Improve!

Take back unfair dismissals!

Reinstate the fired worker!

Reinstate! Reinstate!

We want real change!

Abolish the inhumane test!

The manager who mistreated custodians!

Apologize now!

Apologize! Apologize!

Don't worry about it.

Goodness, iced Americanos.

Mom.

When it's not your shift, I told you to go home and rest.

You'll make yourself sick.

You're the one who should go earn a living.

How would you make money if you're always here?

I'll worry about that, so you get some rest.

Don't worry about me. I'm holding up just fine.

This won't end in a day or two, Mom. Rest while you can.

Hurry up and go home.

You have no work, right?

What are you talking about? I'm super busy!

I had to carve out every last bit of time I had just to be here.

No work, she says.

Just go home and rest!

I told you not to worry. I'm doing fine.

I'll stay here, so you go rest!

It's fine!

Geez!

Why do they want to see us?

The strike's dragging on, so they probably want to negotiate.

They'll be feeling the heat too.

Now,

we're almost there.

Be confident, okay?

Let's win this.

Fight.

- Fight! - Fight!

Yes, come in.

Gosh, welcome. Please come in.

Come in.

You're here too.

Why did you ask to see us?

Please sit down first.

Would you like some coffee or tea? What tea do we have?

We're fine.

Have a seat.

- Are you going to continue filming that? - Yes.

- Why? Do you have something to hide? - Not at all.

Please share it with us later as well.

Why would we?

I know you must be busy, but we asked to see you today

because the students here said they had something to say to you.

I hope this will be a constructive and helpful time

for both sides to clear up any misunderstandings.

Please go ahead.

What is this about?

Please call off your strike.

What?

This illegal strike is making the students suffer.

We respectfully ask that you call off this strike.

This is what you're resorting to?

Oh, don't get me wrong.

This meeting was arranged simply because the students wanted it.

It's exam season, so we need to study, but many of us are suffering.

I don't know how much longer we're supposed to put up with this mess.

If you don't call off your strike,

we will report the custodians protesting outside

and you three who incited them to the police.

On behalf of the students,

we'll also press charges for violating our right to education

and file a suit for damages.

What are you talking about? Press charges?

Guys, that's going too far.

Do the three of you know why

the custodians are on strike?

- They are taking a stand against… - Excuse me.

We are victims affected by this illegal strike.

The guilty party's reasons aren't our concern.

Young man!

The guilty party?

Smart students like you would know what it means to be the guilty party.

The guilty party here isn't us. It's the university.

Guys, once you graduate, you'll be workers too.

What they're going through now will be your future someday.

But we're law majors.

And he's in law school.

You know what law school is, right?

The graduate program. Law school.

Please don't forget that your paycheck comes from our tuition.

Yes, all right.

It's true that you are affected to some extent by the strike.

However,

if your right to education deserves to be respected,

so should the right of workers to strike.

If the university respects the rights of the custodial staff,

this strike will come to an end.

You should be pressing charges against those who abuse their power,

not the powerless individuals whose only means of resistance is to strike.

Surely that's not why you chose to study law.

Please don't frame us in that light.

We are simply stating the facts.

If you refuse, we'll report you to the police and file a suit.

Seeing the students so uncooperative really takes the wind out of my sails.

I don't believe this.

Anyway, given what's happened,

we probably need to make some kind of a decision.

A decision on exactly what?

Well, we should retreat for now for strategic reasons

and prepare more thoroughly before…

Where would we even retreat to at this point?

Hide in the restrooms?

Or crawl into the trash bins?

Labor Attorney No.

You said we don't get paid if we strike.

For people like us living from hand to mouth,

there's nothing scarier than that.

But still,

we are on this strike

because we want to tell people

that we are human beings just like everyone else!

Those students don't speak for all the students, do they?

Of course not.

She's right. They probably just don't know any better.

Not everyone will be like them.

If they don't know any better, we can just tell them.

We should explain why we had no other choice

and why this needs to be done.

Don't you agree?

- You're right. - So smart.

You're completely right.

Then you're all…

Let's keep going.

And create change!

If they want to fire us, let them.

If they want to sue us, let them!

- Yes! - Right!

We should show them what we're made of!

Yes, let's show them!

Let's do it!

You may have started this,

but we'll take it from here, so don't worry.

We have…

nowhere else to retreat to.

- Isn't that right? - That's right!

Okay then.

In that case, we'll stand with you till the end.

Let's do this!

- We got this. - We got this!

We got this!

Why don't we write up a new poster from scratch?

To get through to the students,

we need to appeal to them with something more emotional.

How?

I think the poster should carry your personal voice.

Is anyone willing to share

your personal story or how you felt while going through this ordeal?

- Ms. Im. - I'm a terrible writer.

What about you?

No, listen.

What if I write it, and it gets traced back to me, and I get into trouble?

Then you should do it.

Excuse me…

may I tell my story?

I am a custodian of Hankuk University.

I was born into a family of poor farmers

and lost my parents at a young age.

I grew up more or less like an orphan,

so I only got to attend citizen school.

Bus attendant, factory work, sewing,

I've tried just about everything,

but out of all of them,

being a university custodian has been my favorite.

Though I never got a proper education, working at a good university…

Please have this.

…and being able to do something

- for the hardworking students… - Thank you.

…made me happy.

I've been cleaning at this university for 20 years now.

I was proud to work at this university,

and seeing the students made me happy,

as if they were my own.

Even cleaning the bathrooms never felt dirty to me.

But…

for the past few months,

they have been making us take tests that have nothing to do with cleaning work.

They grade us

and humiliate us,

which has been devastating.

I'd get a perfect score for cleaning,

but those English letters

look more like wriggling worms to me.

On those test days,

my heart races and pounds in my chest.

If it means the students can study in clean classrooms,

I'll gladly scrub and clean restrooms and classrooms a million times over,

but taking those tests is something I really don't want to do.

I really hope the students will understand

what we are going through.

It really does sound like our poor Yeong-suk.

How did you know she was a bus attendant and worked at a sewing factory?

He must've heard from Eun-ja.

Wait, I thought you even went to college.

How is your handwriting so terrible?

Goodness, I almost thought our dear Yeong-suk wrote it herself.

Oh my.

My, you don't bother to clean, but you still use the restroom.

It reeks inside, so I couldn't even go in, but you must be okay with it.

Well, I've dealt with worse.

It seems you have an incredibly smart son. And he loves to meddle.

So why are you doing such rough work at a place like this?

Why not live comfortably

with the money your big-shot labor attorney son brings you?

I guess he's not that successful.

Then again,

how much money would he realistically make stirring up custodians to strike?

He'll just end up getting sued. Right?

My gosh.

Seolleongtang is all about the green onions,

but you're picking them all out?

Green onions are so nutritious.

I know, but I still find them hard to eat.

Your mom was always worried about you,

saying you're picky about food

and no matter how much you eat, you don't gain any…

I'm rambling.

- It's like my mouth won't close. - It's fine.

I did put my parents through a lot.

No, you're wrong.

Eun-ja always talked about how great you were.

There's nothing great about me.

Seeing you now, I understand why she praised you so much.

She has such a smart and dependable son.

I truly envy your mom.

Not at all.

- Yes? What is it? - Big brother!

You should come see this.

YOU'RE BEING A PAIN

SORRY, BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE

JUST STOP AND DEAL WITH IT YOURSELVES

- Big brother! - Yeah.

I've been working here for over a decade,

so this really gets me down.

NO ONE FORCED YOU TO BE A CLEANER

I had no idea the students felt this way.

WE PAY TUITION TO SEE A TRASH KINGDOM

This is so upsetting!

This strike was all for nothing.

Come on, Mr. Oh.

I'm speechless.

Where did it go wrong?

Maybe the university made them do this.

Oh, come on. Kids these days don't do as they're told.

This is how they really feel.

They really don't care unless it affects them personally.

They have zero empathy and only drink zero-sugar.

Hey, is this really the time to be making jokes?

It wasn't a joke.

Chairman, is there any point in us doing this?

Do we have to continue?

The students don't seem to care. What if we end up losing our jobs?

You'll have to make a decision for us.

What's this? What happened?

I know, right?

Mom, where is everyone?

- They all left. - What?

Left? Why?

What is it?

A SPECIAL TEST WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW

What is this?

We all put on a brave face,

but in the end, we live hand to mouth, so we don't have a choice.

You said you wouldn't retreat.

You're giving up?

Then what?

Even the students we cherished are against us.

Neither the university nor the students support us.

What more can we do?

This is why people look down on you.

You do hard work all your life without ever getting any respect.

You do whatever you're told

and foolishly put up with anything,

so people think they can treat you like you're beneath them.

Mu-jin, stop.

This was never a fight we could win.

How can we win against the people who hold our lives in their hands?

I must've lost my senses for a second because of you kids.

Mom, seriously!

The more you back down, the more you give in,

the louder those people will get!

Think about why Ms. Kim passed away.

If you back down now, something worse could happen next.

By then…

What if even you end up getting sued?

I heard going to the police station is nothing in comparison.

If they press charges and sue for damages…

Let's end things here.

You're doing this because of me?

How can I not be worried?

Excuse me.

How long will the strike go on for?

Sorry, but what is this about?

Please have these and hang in there.

- Oh wow. - Wow.

You really didn't have to.

We didn't know the university was forcing the custodians to take some weird tests.

I think it's really unfair and unreasonable.

We're sorry.

I think so too.

I was annoyed at first at how dirty the school was.

No, I mean, that's how I realized how important the custodians are.

We support the strike and the protest.

Please stay strong.

The students just aren't aware.

If they knew, many would support the strike too.

We'll post about it online and stuff.

Thank you.

Then…

- Stay strong! - Stay strong!

Stay strong!

- Stay strong. - Stay strong.

Stay strong.

I know you.

Gyeonjjang TV?

No wonder you're so thoughtful.

You're my subscriber.

Want an autograph? Or a photo together?

No, it's fine. I'll just support you from here.

Oh yeah?

- Hang in there. - Stay strong.

- Thank you. - Bye.

- Hang in there. - Thank you.

See?

There'll be more students who support us.

I'm grateful to hear the students say that.

I know.

If they knew the full story, they'd really get mad.

Exactly. This shouldn't stay within the university.

It needs to go public. Then we'll have a chance.

Right.

Once people start paying attention,

the university won't be able to ignore us like this.

They care about their public image, so they won't want this getting out.

Then allow me to handle it.

We'll do a live stream.

You saw how popular I am, right? Why waste that?

Even at this exact moment, around 33 or so people

are debating whether to like and subscribe to my channel.

A live stream?

Then filming the test will have the most impact.

Since that's the root cause.

Then we need to sneak into the test site,

but they know our faces, so we'll be stopped at the door.

I can't think of a way…

Yeah, maybe wear a disguise?

Why me again?

No, not you. That thing…

Me?

What is it?

Now, it's almost time.

Please close the doors.

Anyone who turns up after this point

is out.

Now, please sit…

Wow, you're wearing glasses today.

Seeing the text better won't help you ace the test.

Well then.

Now, everyone sit down.

Hey, are we really okay to stream from here?

If we're too far out, the signal might drop.

We have ten seconds to go. Get ready to shoot, okay?

Here we go.

Hi, everyone. Gyeonjjang TV here.

Today, we are live at Hankuk University, the best university in our country,

where a special knowledge test is being given to their custodians.

Sources say they are using this ridiculous test

to publicly humiliate the custodians and justify dismissals.

This is an actual text a custodian received from the university.

Cue the text.

DRESS CODE

WOMEN: WEAR FORMAL ATTIRE, AS ELEGANT AS POSSIBLE

Does this text message make any sense to you guys?

Of course not.

Oh, the test paper has arrived. Shall we take a look?

Mom,

look at the test paper.

Yes, a little closer.

Good.

3. LIST 3 FORMER PRESIDENTS

Do you see that? "List three former university presidents"?

I didn't even know who my university president was.

I doubt even the students here could answer these questions.

Just as I said that, an alum posted a comment.

An architecture alum who matriculated in 1998 commented,

"It's a fail for me."

MAKE THE EMPLOYEES THERE TAKE IT

- Hey, look at this. - What?

This is the test given to our custodians.

That's crazy. What the heck is that?

I know. I'm so embarrassed to attend this university.

Hey, do you know when the law building was built?

You crazy? How would I know that?

Goodness. Now, Mr. Lee Sun-yeop.

Please stand up.

Goodness, you got 25%.

Oh my, you got our university's founding philosophy wrong.

Getting this wrong is a serious problem, isn't it?

Your score is beside the point here.

It's about having the right attitude, which you don't seem to have.

I was a little busy, so I wasn't able to study.

Busy doing what?

Being on strike?

You had a lot of fun being on strike, didn't you?

- You all got together, all hyped up… - Mom.

Move closer to the manager.

You never got a college education

- but thought… - What?

No, Mom, don't answer.

Jesus Christ.

Just move.

Okay, got it.

What do you think you're doing? Hurry up and sit down.

Stop messing around. Sit down.

Seriously, what is this? You're not kids anymore.

You are all old enough, aren't you?

What is this behavior?

The world has changed. Times have changed, all right?

So you form a little union, sing songs, chant words, and…

What are you going to do with that fist?

Good grief.

Did you think doing that would solve all your problems?

You're all in serious trouble now.

Serious trouble.

Until now,

the university has been very tolerant,

but you'll be finding out very soon, okay?

Just how scary the law can be.

Okay, next.

Union Chair Oh Jang-geun, please stand up.

Go on. Please stand up for a second.

Come on, stand up.

Now,

a round of applause for our union chair.

He got 65%.

Wow, you just barely passed.

Really impressive. Amazing stuff.

- Sir, please look at this. - What is it?

Wait, isn't that me?

What is this? Wait, hold on.

Hold on a minute.

Hey, what is this?

Hey, hold on. Who is this?

- Who's using a phone during a test? - So many people are watching.

This is amazing!

This is cheating. It's breaking the rules. You'll all get a zero!

What is this?

Hey, the comments are insane!

It's too fast to read.

- Wow, what? - Okay.

Let's read some comments.

"That evil villain face." "You're done for. Bye."

"Busted. Run!" "Is this staged?"

"Is this for real?"

This is really happening right now. I wish it was staged too.

Oh my!

General Bighead says, "Who cares about top grades when you're a jerk,"

and has donated 180,000 won.

Wow, 180,000 won.

What is this?

Hey, this side!

Grab the phones on this side! All of them.

Can't see me now, right?

Now, if I just… Damn it!

Hey, this side! Take their phones!

It's this side! This is really…

Okay, listen. This is a serious crime, all right?

A violation of image rights. I'm going to…

Hold on. Why am I still on here? Why?

Yes, Chairman.

Yes, I know. Yes.

We're searching right now. Yes.

Yes.

Hey, turn that phone off!

Right, yes. Yes.

We'll find them quickly and report back.

What are you waiting for? Go out and find them!

Well, looks like the university's looking for us. What should we do?

Oh, Ilsan Mercenary, thank you for your 2,000-won donation.

Seocho Mishu sent a generous donation of 5,000 won.

Namgajwa Park, "100,000 won if you have the guts to go out now."

- A hundred thousand? - If it's 100,000…

It's worth it.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Okay. - Good.

It's not about the money. We were about to leave.

They're looking so desperately for us, so we should go. Gyeonjjang TV, let's go.

Wait, before we go.

- Call it. - Okay.

One, two, three!

- Gyeonjjang TV! - Showtime!

He should've gone up. Seriously.

Okay.

Right.

How's the reaction?

As soon as we got up,

- the viewer count went up. - Okay.

Hey, find the camera.

Search every corner.

Find it. I need to…

All you viewers out there must be wondering why

- this is happening inside this school. - What?

- The ringleader? Or just a pawn? - Who are you?

Anyway, he's here, so why don't we interview him?

What is that? God, another camera.

Are you busy?

- What? - Look at this.

What is it?

It's a channel I've been watching lately.

They're doing a live at my alma mater.

It's a channel specializing in workplace accidents.

They've gone viral today.

- What do you think you're doing? - That's my line.

What are you doing right now?

You gave out tests unrelated to their job

and also used their test scores to fire them.

Is that true?

That's not all. You forced the custodians to wear elegant clothes to these tests.

Grab the camera!

Turn that camera off!

I said, turn off that camera!

As you saw in the video,

this room is full of custodians gathered to take that test.

A sight too absurd to believe is unfolding before my eyes.

This is a truly creative abuse of power.

This is the true face of what's supposed to be the best university in our country!

- Gyeon-u! No! - We'll leave after this. Wait!

- No, wait! - Oh my gosh!

My viewers…

- It's broken. - Thank you.

"Thank you"?

Hey, not again. Damn it.

Picking a thumbnail was always hard, but you made one for me just now.

Fine, all right.

Listen, I'm not letting this slide.

You're filming illegally, obstructing our work,

and violating my image rights.

- Call the police. - Yes, sir.

What gives you the right to talk like that?

You think this situation here is normal?

Don't you feel ashamed

doing this to hardworking people who give their all to the students?

I have never done anything to be ashamed about.

All we're doing is trying to raise basic standards among our colleagues.

Is that so wrong?

Do you think that's wrong?

Huh? And did I threaten you to take these tests?

- Did I? - What?

- They voluntarily… - Voluntarily?

He says "voluntarily." Wow, I'm speechless.

Pressuring people who have no other choice.

That's threatening them. Don't you know what "threaten" means?

I was still talking. I was in the middle of saying something!

Oh, okay.

How can someone be so rude and shameless?

Fine. I have nothing more to say to you.

I'm not dealing with you anymore.

Let's handle this legally. Yes, good. We'll do this legally!

Very well.

Let's do this legally.

Not you again.

Yes, it's me again.

As you all know,

I'm the managing attorney of No Mu-jin Labor Law Office,

No Mu-jin.

Article 76-2 of the Labor Standards Act.

No employer or employee

shall take advantage of superiority in rank, relationship, etc. in the workplace

to cause physical or mental suffering to other employees

or deteriorate the work environment beyond the appropriate scope of work.

Very good.

Looks like you've read some books.

So what? Are you saying I broke the law?

- What nonsense are you… - I am!

Through this pointless test that has nothing to do with cleaning work,

you went beyond the appropriate scope of work.

Everything you are doing right now falls under workplace harassment.

You also publicly revealed test scores, which constitutes defamation.

You also damaged property.

Goodness, that thing's expensive.

Surely someone so educated would know this simple law…

Don't you?

"Diligently pursue knowledge and understanding

to bring good to humanity."

What use is graduating from a university with such a noble founding philosophy

when this is how you behave?

You turned in a blank test, so you have no right to talk!

Ma'am!

So put that mic down and keep quiet, okay?

No right?

No right?

Then what right do you have

to grade these people and decide if they're worthy?

- Exactly. - She's right.

I am…

I am the manager responsible for supervising you, so I…

And everyone here, you shouldn't be doing this to yourselves.

Look here. Look!

Without us, the university can't even function properly,

but we do whatever we're told

and foolishly put up with anything,

so he thinks he can treat us like this.

- This nobody acts like he's our employer. - Nobody?

And he treats us like we're beneath him!

- Hear, hear! - Right.

She's completely right!

- She's right! - Hey.

The more we backed down,

the more we gave in,

you saw how louder these people got and how they stared us down!

- Exactly! - God's sake, quiet!

That felt good to hear!

- Good grief. - Don't you run away!

I'm not running away.

Since you care so much about being worthy, let me ask you too.

Let's see if you have that same knowledge and standard

that you demand from us custodians.

- Test him. - By all means, I'm good with that.

Try singing our university anthem.

Zoom in.

- Try singing it. - Sing it!

- Sing it! - He doesn't know!

- You can tell. - What is this?

Don't you know it?

Unbelievable.

You were lecturing us about being worthy when you don't even know that?

Listen, none of you have been to college or experienced campus life,

so you don't really seem to understand,

but who sings university anthems?

No one sings that at university. You'd know if you'd attended one.

SENIOR ATTORNEY KIM MAN-O

Drawing from the fountain of truth

We are Hankuk University

YANG SU-WON PUBLISHING

- Yes, I'm an alumnus. - Hankuk, Hankuk

Please put me through to the president's office.

An article like this appearing in the newspaper…

and our own students filing a lawsuit against our custodial staff

make me feel ashamed to be an alumnus.

Besides the people gathered here today,

plenty of alumni have offered to join the legal team.

Is this really something

the alumni president needs to get involved in?

The reputation of our alma mater is falling.

When else would I get involved?

I agree, President.

We can't let this drag on.

I've never been so ashamed to be an alum of this university.

The compulsory knowledge tests unrelated to their work

that custodial staff are forced to take must be abolished at once!

Abolish at once!

We apologize that this unreasonable incident

took place at a university that should stand as a sanctuary of knowledge.

We promise to take swift action to prevent this from happening again.

Maybe that ghost lady…

Ms. Kim.

Yes, maybe Ms. Kim

was worried that her coworkers might carry on as before, even after her death.

Yeah, even though she was the one who died so unfairly and alone.

Thanks to her, the test's gone,

and the university said it won't happen again.

So it's a relief.

And the other demands were met too.

They said they'd reinstate all the workers who were fired over their test scores.

If this is what Ms. Kim wanted, I hope she feels at peace now.

- Yeah. - Of course. We pulled it off.

- We? - Yes, us.

And the custodians, students, alumni, reporters, and other citizens.

We all did this together.

Yes, you're right.

Then shall we go somewhere to celebrate?

You went through a lot too, even a trip to the police station.

No, I'm just going to go home. You two go have something nice.

Why would I eat with just him? We're always together anyway.

- Hui-joo. - What?

What're you doing?

Even in that brief moment taken to blink, I missed you.

Oh my God, what are you saying?

No.

That was pretty good. You can take it.

Are you kidding me? Geez.

Hui-joo?

Honestly, that girl.

I think that one was pretty good.

- You're the only-- - I'm off.

- Hello. - Hello.

Thank you.

Do you feel better now?

So much better.

Thanks to you,

I was able to speak up about things I've been holding in.

I wish I'd spoken up with confidence like this while I was still alive.

Then…

I wouldn't have died like this.

You did a great job.

You're the one who did a great job. I didn't do a thing.

Oh, come on.

Thanks to you, she also got her job back.

So you don't need to worry anymore.

Back then, I couldn't do anything for her,

and I looked the other way.

I think it kept weighing on me.

You don't know how relieved my mom feels as well.

She's so happy now that she doesn't have to take those tests.

The university might try to pull something again,

but we'll be watching closely,

so you can finally rest easy now.

And my family will take good care of Salt.

She's made herself right at home,

so you don't need to worry.

What?

Yes.

Thank you.

- By the way, I have something to tell you. - Okay.

The truth is…

Thanks to you, I can finally go in peace.

Thank you.

Really.

No problem.

Hey!

Why do you keep talking to yourself?

Did I?

I…

Have I been talking to myself lately?

Don't talk to yourself like that! You look like you've lost it.

Okay.

Hey, let's go quickly, okay?

- They said come quickly. - Let me.

Let's go.

LAW BUILDING

Ta-da!

Welcome!

Come on up, Ms. Park.

- Come up. - Come on up.

Welcome back to your job

Welcome back to your job

Welcome back, dear Ms. Park

Welcome back to your job

WELCOME BACK, MS. PARK MYEONG-SUK

Welcome back to your job, Ms. Park.

At your wrinkly old age,

you get suspicious of your wife and send your son to spy on her?

Who said I was suspicious? I was just worried, that's all.

Suspicion grows out of love, doesn't it?

Let's just let it slide.

Anyway, thank you, Mu-jin.

I feel so much better without those tests.

Yeong-suk can finally rest in peace now.

What would a dead person know?

They know, Dad. They know.

What's gotten into you?

You used to pick out all the green onions. You ate absolutely everything.

It was tasty once I tried it.

Of course it was.

Green onions are good for you and are also tasty.

I envy her the most these days.

Hey, puppy. Come here, pup.

Don't call her that. It's Salt.

Here, Salt. Come here.

Salt! Aren't you coming?

She never comes even when I call her name.

I'm pretty sure Yeong-suk said her name was Salt.

The truth is…

It's not Salt.

It's Pepper.

Maybe it's Pepper.

Goodness.

It really is Pepper!

Pepper, come here.

Here.

Pepper. Goodness.

Oh, wow.

How did you know?

If it's not salt, it must be pepper.

Where are you going?

You two should spend some quality time together.

I shall take my leave.

What quality time would I spend with this unromantic man?

Geez.

I'll pack you some side dishes. Take them.

The green onion kimchi's delicious right now.

It's fine. I don't have time to eat at home.

Mi-joo loves my green onion kimchi.

How long are you going to keep living like this?

Right, Mom, this is for you.

What is it?

You worked so hard to fight.

This is good for your health, so make sure to have it with Dad.

We take good care of ourselves, so you take it and have it.

I've got my own back at the office.

Then,

have one now before you go.

Goodness.

Here.

Have it.

Okay, fine.

- Here. - Give me one too…

You always want the good stuff.

It tastes good.

Don't worry about me and make sure you take these.

Thanks.

You did great, our fight leader.

- I'm off. - Okay, bye.

- I'm going, Dad. - Bye.

- Enjoy. - Okay.

Yeah, where are you guys?

Mu-jin…

What's with your voice?

We're at the hospital.

The hospital? Why? What happened?

I thought we were really going to die.

Which hospital is it? I'll be right there.

I'm on my way, geez.

You two make my life so much harder, seriously.

Mister!

Hey, Yun-jae.

Why are we back to "mister" again?

What are you doing here? Visiting someone?

Well, I'm not sure.

I blacked out. I woke up and I was here.

What do you mean?

You…

What's wrong with you?

Why?

Am I…

dead?

Yun-jae.

The 72-hour-a-week

working hour regulation

should be followed.

Are you kidding me?

We're debating four-day workweeks and you want Sunday off?

Did you mean Friday?

Seventy-two hours a week?

What era are you from? Did you time-travel here from the '70s?

Yun-jae's in the ICU? I thought he got into a huge company.

So, Yun-jae was pushing carts here?

Retrieving carts is a standard task

even people in their forties and fifties can manage.

He collapsed after pushing carts back and forth in that sweltering heat,

and the company isn't responsible?

Why don't you ask that jeans guy? The bodhisattva?

This is a workplace injury. Assault and harassment in the workplace.

- Bunshinsaba. - Bunshinsaba?

What if I'd actually died?

No matter how hard I struggle, nothing will change.

I want to rest.

- Mr. No! Yun-jae… - Yun-jae?
