Original subtitles

Jung-woo must have threatened you somehow.

I'm never leaving you alone at this school.

How can I leave you here alone at a time like this?

You should support me as my mom if I want to forget it and just study.

Don't you know I'll be in danger as long as you keep doing this?

This is the end.

Don't come back to school anymore.

On behalf of myself,

Do Jung-woo will...

be the Chief Director...

of Myungsung Foundation.

Chairman,

how would we enjoy teaching the students

and discipline them with love without you?

Anyway, as I'm stepping down,

I would like to emphasize only one thing!

The strength of our school comes from the students' grades.

Aim for the highest rate of entering prestigious universities

and the national ranking of the grades are the essence of our school!

Pardon me, but I don't think grades are everything.

This is a school, not a cram school.

Who hired him?

BIG DREAM, SMALL ACTION

Heroes have their flaws in what they desire?

Still, wasn't she too young?

Everyone makes mistakes.

A mistake?

Certainly there are lessons one can learn from mistakes.

I will learn a lot and try my best to live up to your expectations.

I'll make sure you don't have to come back, Chairman Hong.

He has a long way to go

before he can learn the lessons.

Ae-yeon.

-Yes, chairman. -Be careful with whom you side.

If you pick the wrong crowd,

you'll go down with them.

Once the construction is over,

get rid of Jung-woo and all the documents.

Would that be really all right with you?

He initiated all this.

Bury everything and send him to prison for about five years.

The bill of indictment and the proof all disappeared.

Ministry of Education and the media ignored it.

There's not even a record of our visit at the Ministry of Education.

They even got rid of the recording on the cameras.

It must be a huge matter.

There must be a much bigger organization behind Jung-woo.

I started this for Ah-ran.

I think I just put her in more danger.

Why is that your fault?

It's all because of those corrupted jerks.

If I had a little bit more power...

Gong-joo.

How could I be so weak...

as a mother?

I'm her mother.

Why can't I do more for her when I'm her mother?

It's not just you.

All mothers in the world feel that way.

It's unfair.

Don't cry, Kang-ja.

Why?

I trust that you'll make a smart decision.

And that your parents will as well.

If you keep wasting your time on things like this,

I'm going to have to see your mother.

You know what that means, right?

Jong-man, Sang-man, get the car ready.

-Yes, Ma'am. -Yes, Ma'am.

They made my daughter cry?

I'm going to hit the back of their heads hard like this.

That won't solve anything.

Ah-ran will be in more danger.

All I have to do is attack them very quietly and run away.

I didn't start this so that I could hit their heads.

We have to cut their heads off so they won't do it again.

You said they have power over Ministry of Education and the media.

Right, we can't win only by strength.

Gong-joo, let's use our brains this time.

Our brains?

Neither of us are good at using our brains.

I'm going to study with Ah-ran.

Could you collect all the information related to Myungsung Foundation?

Do Jung-woo is part of Myungsung Foundation.

I'm sure he has some weakness.

-Hello. -Pest control.

-Come in. -Die!

The owner of Myungsung Foundation is Hong Sang-bok.

He must have a reason to be backing up Do Jung-woo.

-Thank you for your service. -Pest control!

We should look for the vital points of the animals to fight them.

Something that could be fatal with just one blow.

There should be such a vital point.

Duck and wait for the right time to attack.

How Chairman Hong and Jung-woo are related will be exposed at some point.

More than studying...

The Chairman is the head.

Cut the head off first, and I'll get you, Jung-woo.

I wanted my child to grow to be kind rather than being smart.

It's embarrassing, but I often told my son that I loved him.

Did you quit school today?

About that...

It's the exam week, so it can't be processed.

So after the exam week--

Do you think I'm stupid because I only graduated from elementary school?

What kind of school doesn't allow you to quit because it's an exam week?

Well, mother.

Please let me do this for just a month.

I'll wrap it up soon--

Why don't you clean up the house instead? What's all this?

Let's go to school together.

If you can't quit school, I'll quit it for you.

Mother, the school is closed right now.

Please let me do this.

You shouldn't do this to me!

-What's going on? -Goodness!

I'm glad you're here.

Kang-ja is going to school--

Mother wants to eat some Japanese halfbeak fish,

so I better go and buy her one.

Kang-ja! When did I--

We should go before it closes.

Mother, you know that sashimi restaurant?

-That one's so good. -Honey!

-Buy some cero too. -Cero? Okay!

You're going to keep me quiet

with this plate of sashimi?

No way!

Mother, you kept saying you wanted to go to Southeast Asia.

I'll send you and your friend on a trip.

Goodness, you'll send me away?

No thanks, I had an argument with that friend anyway.

You can always make new friends.

Shall I set you up on a blind date?

I'm too old to meet new people.

Mother, you still look so young!

All you need is get rid of those wrinkles. I'll do that for you.

Goodness, that's not what's important to me.

I'm just worried about you.

If you get caught, it would be such a shame to our family.

How could Ah-ran keep going to school?

I'll be careful.

Could you keep it a secret just for one month?

One week.

Mother.

You don't go to school on weekends, so it'll be five days.

Agree?

Yes, I agree.

Goodness.

I still need so many more.

How do I get personal information of people who don't exist?

Why is there a uniform?

What? Jo Bang-wool?

Why is there a uniform?

It's good to get groceries all at once, right?

-Jin-sang, what's that? -Honey.

I didn't open it.

I was about to close it since it was already open.

It's still not your bag.

Jin-sang.

Don't open other people's bags. That's sneaky.

I didn't look through it.

Honey, who is Jo Bang-wool?

I didn't mean to look.

But there was a uniform in your bag.

My friend's daughter's name is Jo Bang-wool.

She said she's transferring so I took the uniform for Ah-ran.

That's good.

Here.

Why are you sitting here like this, blocking the way?

-Get some rest, honey. -Okay.

-Get some rest. -Goodness.

Darn it.

I was about to get caught because of you!

-Hey, that's Kang-ja's-- -Be quiet.

GENOVESE SYNDROME

Do you even know how you became her homeroom teacher?

Father, do you know anyone at my school?

There's one person.

Who?

Mr. Park No-ah, a teacher I'm proud of.

Not me.

Actually, one of the teachers said something strange.

You didn't make a request to the school or anything, right?

How could I make a request when I don't know anyone?

Right? I didn't think you would do something like that.

He is one weird teacher.

I know someone at court.

My father, who I'm very proud of.

What is he doing?

I think he's practicing something.

He doesn't look normal.

He's definitely not normal.

Keep watching, and let me know if something happens.

Don't worry.

Watch him at all times.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

Go on, my daughter.

You might be late for school.

-Goodbye. -Have a good day, Ma'am.

Study hard, Ma'am.

-Mom! -Don't look at it while walking.

You might stumble and fall.

Mom, why don't you ever listen to me?

You should listen to me.

-Mom. -You said you'll focus on studying.

I agree with that. I'll let you focus only on studying.

Safely.

Bang-wool!

Bang-wool, you must have gone through a lot.

We didn't know about that.

So who is your real mother?

Bang-wool, we'll keep all the bullies away from you.

I heard Bang-wool is adopted.

She has two mothers, and one of them is mentally ill.

The other one is a really old lady.

Gosh, that's why she is so old and stupid?

-Yes. -Right.

You ugly ones!

What did you do for Bang-wool when she was abandoned

and left hungry until she was adopted?

Look away, you brats!

Bang-wool is also a daughter of Myungsung.

-Goodness. -Darn it.

Ah-ran!

What's wrong with her?

I know.

Goodness.

-What? -Why?

-Changing what? -We're changing seats.

You and me? Or with her?

Getting into a university is like war.

By resisting not to study for pride,

do you want to ruin your life by not getting into college?

How could you not even discuss it with me?

Decisions are made by the school, okay?

You'll be seated based on your grade. Everyone, stand up.

President Hong, you have the top grades in school. Where will you sit?

Ah-ran, where will you sit?

Min-ju, who ranked third, sit here.

Next to Song-ji.

Ranking fifth, Jung-eun, here.

Fifth, sixth and seventh.

Sixth, Yi-seul, over there.

Yoon-ho, over there.

Bang-wool, you're failing so go to the seat at the end.

The one worse than the last one, Bok-dong.

You sit next to Bang-wool. Go.

Students with similar grades should support and compete

with each other so you can get the best grades possible, okay?

-Understand? -Yes.

Sir.

I can't see the board well because I have poor eyesight.

-Could I sit in front, please? -Sure.

If you want to sit in the front, get better grades.

Sir!

Seating them based on grades is a violation of students' rights.

We're doing it because other schools aren't doing it.

How could we get ahead if we do what the others do?

Don't you think the students would be hurt by this?

Worse things happen in the real world.

Geun-soo can't see the board as he has bad eyesight.

-You talk too much! -That startled me.

Why don't you get him a Lasik surgery then?

-Why did I even hire you? -Don't say anything.

Anyway, take good care of their performance evaluation

and submit the questions on the exams ahead of time. Wait.

These are

some books you should read as a reference.

The questions are essential and very good.

-Yes, sir. Give them to us. -Here you go.

Goodness, performance evaluation starts again this year.

That's not too bad. Putting exam questions together is harder.

Don't put them together. Just cut and paste.

-Should I? -Mr. Park.

Here's the book for Korean.

That's fine. I make my own exam questions.

He's being like that again!

Money should be coming in by now.

Where is...

MONEY TRANSFERRED IN

These should be enough to be reviewed by the Ministry of Education.

Thank you very much, Mr. Oh.

It was nothing.

I just did what I was told to do by my boss.

What are you saying? It's all your work.

As the person in charge of the construction, Mr. Oh does well.

-I'm the person in charge? -Of course!

There's no one better for that position than yourself.

Have a seat.

Thank you! I'll work hard.

How's your daughter these days?

My daughter is very smart.

She's doing well on her own.

Smart students

left without control could cause trouble during puberty.

You should keep your eye on her so she doesn't get in trouble.

Yes, sir. You must be so busy already,

but thank you for thinking of my daughter.

That's my job.

It's not an easy job.

You know that the upcoming exam is very important, right?

If you don't study from the beginning, it'll get harder to catch up.

If you don't want to study,

keep it to yourself and don't bother others.

Only five students are allowed.

If you want to study well,

apply in private for my study group.

Is he a teacher or something?

Jung-hee, what are you thinking about?

I might not be able to hang out with you guys anymore.

She's always depressed during the exam week.

When you feel depressed, here's your medicine.

Goodness, the world is so unfair.

Class must be hard to follow after missing school. Apply for my group.

I'll do anything if you let me join the group.

-You, Mackerel. -Yes, President.

Take it back. You smell.

Okay.

Hong Sang-tae, is that how you talk to others?

You smell like side dishes.

You work part-time at a meat restaurant?

Yes, I do. What about it?

Do you want some meat?

Ah-ran.

-I'm Ah-ran's dad. -Dad.

Were you studying hard?

What brings you here, Dad?

It's because I'm in charge of construction of the annex building.

I came here for work and decided to stop by and see you.

What's wrong with her?

Why did you come without letting me know? It's embarrassing.

Let's go, Dad.

Why would you be embarrassed that I'm here?

Are you embarrassed?

Bang-wool, what are you doing?

Your shoelace is loose.

You could trip and get hurt.

Isn't he so unique?

He talks so much to his snakes when he doesn't talk to his son.

You brat, you scared me!

You're playing when I told you to watch him?

-We are watching him. -We are.

He's doing silly things all day long.

Do we have to keep watching him?

Ma'am, you have a call.

-Hello? -Are you Bang-wool's mother?

Yes.

Who is this?

Of course, I'm interested.

Okay, I understand.

This is what you call, meeting with the mother.

What should I prepare?

You must be so proud.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Bang-wool's mother.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry for being late.

-I had too many customers. -Goodness.

I did get changed for the meeting.

I smell like mackerel, right?

It's okay. Have a seat.

May I ask what your husband does?

I don't have a husband. I'm an independent single woman.

What was Bang-wool's ranking in her previous school?

Her ranking is A plus, plus.

Hello.

-Welcome, Vice Principal. -Welcome, Vice Principal.

You get younger every time I see you.

Is that so?

It's because I'm often meeting beautiful women like you.

It's my first time meeting you. There's another new face.

What brings you here, Bang-wool's mother?

I'm also a mother.

Are you digesting well these days?

Goodness, well...

I already digested it.

Have a seat, everyone.

This is nothing special.

It's a popular detox juice.

I made enough to give some to you.

You're a president of a college, but you're also good at cooking.

My friend opened up a restaurant and gave me gift certificates,

but I don't have time to go.

You must be very busy as the CEO of a department store.

I heard your wife likes carrot cake.

Goodness, you're a renowned chef.

You made a cake yourself.

I didn't know I had to prepare a gift.

It's a letter.

A thank you letter.

Don't worry so much about the exams.

Have them study the basics and the important points.

They'll do well.

HIGH SCHOOL EXERCISE BOOKS

In the exam, 80 to 90 percent of it will be concepts and basics.

I would say those are the most important.

Vice Principal.

You said concepts and basics are important?

Concepts and basics.

Aren't they the basics? Don't you know what they are?

Since he emphasized the basics,

doesn't it mean to study what's in the textbook?

Goodness, you know less than I do.

When they say to study what's in the textbooks,

it's all a lie.

I didn't even study the textbooks myself.

Goodness, this is it!

Basics, right?

One for Geun-soo, and one for Bang-wool.

One more for Geun-soo, and one more for Bang-wool.

I don't think that's enough.

One more for Geun-soo, and one more for Bang-wool.

It smells like mackerel.

It's hard to act like a mother.

I would attack them if I could.

What else could we do?

It's the fate of being a mother.

Are you going to be okay when you didn't give anything to him?

I don't have money to give to that short-legged vice principal.

You look like you have money.

I spent all of my savings to spend on tooth implants

for my mother.

My son has poor eyesight.

But he sits at the back because of his poor grades.

So he came home and wept.

I felt so bad.

I wrote a five-page letter because I felt so bad for him.

Did you really give him a letter?

I took out the letter and put in some money.

Ma'am.

What else could I do?

I want to do whatever it takes to have my son sit in the front.

Start!

-Jung-hee! -Goodness.

-Gosh. -Take your feet off the bar.

I can't do it. I'm sweating.

-My face is sweating. I won't do it. -I did it.

I did it. Give me an A.

Keep pulling, okay?

Don't go down.

You're too weak.

Let me go.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

Good job.

Next is, who's next?

Jo Bang-wool!

Next is Sang-tae.

Your throat hurts, so you'll do it next time?

Fine, studying English

can be hard at times. When you're having a hard time...

Stay strong, super power

Acacia flowers

They bloomed white

A road to an orchard a long time ago

Yes, that's great.

Goodness.

Well done.

Goodness, Min-ju's mother didn't have to send me that.

Where's Min-ju?

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

She's the one whose hearing is ruined.

Didn't we do so much better?

Grades for performance evaluation depend on how the parents do.

It doesn't matter how hard you work.

Don't you still get good grades if you do well?

It's graded on a curve, don't you know?

If some students' parents have power, other students get low grades.

But your parents are presidents of a college.

When I say power, I mean a lot of power.

My parents aren't in high enough positions, so I'm ruined.

Goodness, you don't know anything. You're being annoying.

You're annoying. Darn it.

-Wait! -Where are you going?

MIDTERM

Goodness, he looks like a baby when he's sleeping.

MYUNGSUNG FOUNDATION ORGANIZATION CHART

I have to poop really badly.

I'll be back.

She's going again to explode on the toilet.

It's a big one.

Goodness, your nose is bleeding!

Lift up your head.

It stopped already.

Goodness!

You can't do this.

You studied late all this week.

Let's go home early and rest.

How can I rest when the exam is tomorrow?

Exams aren't as important

as your health.

Let's go and rest. Come.

How come you're not like other mothers?

Other mothers wouldn't say that.

But...

Don't get greedy, and get at least two wrong for each subject.

Sang-tae, let me in.

Let me in your study group.

Jung-hee, since when were you interested in studying?

I need to do well on this exam.

Otherwise, I'll be sent to the U.S.

I would rather die than study abroad.

If I give this to you,

you'll share it with your minions.

No, never.

I'll keep it to myself.

I'll even give you the account password for the game.

Diamond one.

Then...

can you quit being one of Bang-wool's lackeys?

-What? -If you're willing to betray Bang-wool,

I'll think about it.

You can't, can you?

Then just leave.

I'll do it.

You will?

Then do it now.

What are you guys doing here?

I thought you were sick.

What is it? Give it to me.

Don't touch me, Bang-wool.

Min-ju, you're sounding more suspicious.

What are you hiding? Give it to me.

Stop it.

It has nothing to do with you.

Are they taking advantage of your weakness?

Were they threatening you?

Forget it. Mind your own business.

You don't need to know.

ENGLISH MIDTERM

Hong Sang-tae!

Is this what you meant by study group?

Is this how you were luring other students?

Looks like I got caught.

You're all impossible.

Give it to me.

Who are you to take it from us?

Give it to me.

Bang-wool!

Jung-hee, take it from her.

If we get caught, we're dead.

Jung-hee.

GENOVESE SYNDROME IS THAT MORE PEOPLE THERE ARE...

You're not allowed to be in the teachers' office during exam week!

What's wrong? How did you get hurt?

The exam problems leaked.

FIRST YEAR...

Who were the students?

I can't tell you that.

I don't know where it went wrong.

I feel like I'm sitting inside a kaleidoscope.

The one you play with as a child?

A mirror reflects on another mirror.

That mirror reflects on another one.

The same pattern repeats.

Parents, teachers and students.

They reflect one another and become similar.

It gets messy that it's hard to know who is who anymore.

Actually, there's only a small piece of paper in that kaleidoscope.

It sounds too complicated to understand,

but it's certain that there's a monster in this school.

A monster?

What should we do when tomorrow is the exam?

First, I'll compare this

to tomorrow's exam.

I'm sure this is the copy of the midterm. I saw them.

I know.

Teachers will have a discussion,

and exams will be postponed.

An investigation will also be done.

Even if you want to cover them,

all the students involved will be exposed.

They should be disciplined.

Ah-ran, come here.

Why?

You should just do what I say. Come here!

Goodness.

Sleep, you need to sleep.

Stop it.

Sleep isn't important. Tomorrow is the exam.

I told you not to worry.

This is top secret, but I'll tell you since you're my daughter.

There won't be exams tomorrow. You can sleep well.

I'm not in the mood to joke around.

Have you been lied to all your life?

The exams were leaked.

Is that really true?

That's a serious issue.

I know.

So you can just sleep.

There are no exams tomorrow.

Was it Sang-tae?

Most people know he is the top student only because of his dad.

No one can say anything only because there's no proof.

That serves him right.

What happened to your face?

Did you get into a fight again?

Of course not. I don't fight.

Anyway, you should sleep. Go to sleep.

No, this is a great chance for me to be the top student.

You sleep first. I'm going to study.

Goodness, you make me too proud.

Let me know if you need anything.

Kang Soo-chan was voted as the most respected politician.

He's been lauded by the public for his efforts to improve education.

It shows that his strategies have much focus on education.

Who is he?

For a person like you, you don't know the minister of education?

He talks really well. No wonder he's a minister.

He's much different from politicians who are just all talk.

He's from a family of educators who are all respected.

He isn't involved in any corruption or scandals.

It's not easy to be like him as a politician.

You can tell he is a good person from his looks.

How did he age so well?

Thank you for your work.

It's my pleasure.

A nation where students feel safe to go to school

has a bright future.

We'll do our best so that all students can go to school safely.

MYUNGSUNG HIGH SCHOOL

Pass it back.

-What's going on? -I'm not sure.

Ah-ran, look forward and take your exam.

Ma'am, isn't the exam postponed?

Students who don't study always ask questions like that.

Be quiet and take your exam.

Bang-wool, where are you going in the middle of an exam?

I will flunk you if you leave now.

What is she...

Take your exam.

Look at this, the questions look exactly the same.

How can you say it hasn't been leaked?

These questions were from last year's sample exams.

That stupid Bang-wool misunderstood and didn't know

they were sample exams from last year.

Anyway, the rule is to postpone the exam if there's a possible leak.

We should do an investigation.

Goodness, Mr. Park.

As you like to say, what if the students taken as suspects

get their feelings hurt?

How are they innocent?

Here's proof, and I'm the witness.

If you call up the students on site, it will all be found out.

This can't be proof.

You don't have the right to be a witness.

Why not?

Are you ignoring me because I'm not smart?

Don't you know you can't be in teachers' office during exam week?

If we suspect the exams were leaked,

you would be the first suspect.

I was in the teachers' office. It isn't Bang-wool.

How do I know whether you two didn't plan this ahead of time?

Let's call the students I saw.

Sang-tae, Min-ju, Song-hee...

Woo-ram, Chang-sook, and...

Jung-hee.

They were sample exams from last year.

I explained it to her.

She didn't even know what sample exams were.

He's right. Bang-wool pushed us

and acted violently.

-I saw that too. -Me too.

Me too.

Jung-hee.

The unfair world you always say is exactly like this.

People lie and blame other people.

They don't even feel ashamed of themselves.

That's what really makes the world so unfair.

If you don't say anything now,

you'll continue to live in an unfair world.

JUNG-HEE'S MOTHER, PLEASE KEEP YOUR DAUGHTER QUIET.

Bang-wool, I...

Jung-hee, if you get into trouble again, I'll send you off to the US.

You were mistaken.

These are the sample exams from last year.

How could your grades improve all of a sudden?

Be honest, how did you do it?

-I must be very smart. -Does it make any sense to you?

Neither of us studied!

-Your ranking went down. -I must be a genius.

You should have joined the study group.

Did you cheat? Tell me honestly.

You must have cheated somehow.

I said I didn't, you wench.

I didn't betray you. Stop making me angry.

Stay out of our group from now on.

I don't want to hang out with you.

Tell us honestly.

I said I didn't cheat.

How could your grades improve all of a sudden?

Everyone knows you're part of Sang-tae's study group.

We're just upset you're lying to us.

We swore we wouldn't keep secrets from each other.

Were you the one who leaked the exams?

Are you sure your mom didn't bribe the vice principal?

Do-hee.

You talk badly of your mom but receive all the support from her.

What did you just say? Hey, you.

-Stop! -Let me go!

-You wench! -Hey!

You betrayed us first.

-What's going on? -What is it?

It's a mess inside.

How could Mackerel's mom come back?

It reeks of mackerel in the classroom.

You said you would make sure to improve his grades.

His grades didn't improve. They actually went down.

Then shouldn't you return my money?

I didn't receive any money.

If your son is stupid,

you should at least understand the situation.

Hello, ma'am. What's going on?

Why are you here, Mr. Park?

Go outside! I told you to get out.

Give back half the money.

Then I won't say anything.

That money is very precious to me.

I'm asking this because it's so unfair.

Goodness!

What are you talking about?

You gave me a letter. What money are you talking about?

Do you want me to ask others?

Then...

give me back my letter.

Give me back my precious letter!

Goodness!

You're impossible!

Before you give me back my letter, I won't budge.

What are you doing in my seat? Get out!

Goodness!

How could this happen in school?

Teachers get bribed and sell exams.

Students cheat, and the school covers them up!

This isn't what schools should be.

Mr. Park, I'm telling you.

I never accepted any bribery.

What I received was a letter.

Vice Principal,

it's impossible to talk with you.

I'm going to the Ministry of Education.

You think your father is any different?

Your father bribed to get you a position in the school.

And he gave that to his son, you!

You're a product of corruption yourself!

Hey, Mackerel.

I heard your mom bought exams from the vice-principal.

You're lucky that you're rich enough to buy exams.

My family is not that rich.

Then how can your mom bribe the school?

You ruined it for the ones who studied hard!

Stop it!

Mackerel, even if you buy the exams next time,

don't get caught because it makes me feel crappy.

How are your grades still bad when you bought the exams?

Stupid.

My glasses.

My glasses.

They're broken.

-Stop looking for them. -I can't break them.

They can't be broken.

They're really important to me.

Why did you do it, Geun-soo?

Did you have to do it?

I just wanted to do well.

I wanted to be treated well by the teachers.

I didn't want other students to ignore me.

I wanted to be a top student too.

But there are things you shouldn't do, Geun-soo.

You should have studied on your own.

What can I do if I can't no matter how hard I try?

My grades don't improve no matter how much I try.

I'm not the only one who cheated.

Why are you only picking on me?

Others do it too. Why are you picking on me?

You're too loud that I can't poop.

It's okay, Ah-ran.

Grades go up and down sometimes.

It's enough that you've done your best.

It's not enough.

You don't get graded fairly no matter how hard you study. How's this enough?

It's unfair.

The world is all corrupted.

The schools where students feel safe,

the nation that helps parents support their children,

that is a nation with good welfare.

Dear Minister Kang Soo-chan, whom I respect.

Do you remember a student named Jin Yi-kyung

who committed suicide on school campus?

I'm one of the students at her school.

You may not believe everything I'm about to say.

However, please read this letter until the end.

It's because there are still many students attending Yi-kyung's school.

Those students are also going through a hard time

like Yi-kyung did.

Please help my friends, Minister Kang.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Hello. -Good to see you.

-Hello! -Hello.

-Hello. -Please improve our schools.

-May I shake your hand? -Yes.

-I respect you. -Thank you.

-Thank you. -I love you.

Goodbye!

Minister Kang!

Is this all true?

Yes.

I reported to Ministry of Education but to no avail.

There's still a lot of corruption at the school.

Please help us, Minister.

You're a brave student.

Could you help us?

If it's true, of course I must help you.

If there's a school with corrupted teachers,

they should leave the school right away.

Don't worry and go back to school.

I'll do something about this.

Thank you, Minister.

-Thank you, Minister. -Okay.

Let's go to Samsung-dong.

Gong-joo!

I found a person who will help us.

A person in power said he'll help us.

What are you talking about?

-Who? -Minister Kang Soo-chan.

He promised he'll take care of the problems at Myungsung.

Minister?

Can you trust a politician?

He's different. I looked him up.

-He's a respected educator-- -Ma'am.

Someone is here.

I feel like I've seen him somewhere.

Did we see him on a trip?

Is he a celebrity?

It's this man!

He's the minister?

Why is he there?

Minister Kang, what brings you to my home?

Do I have to take care of some trash like this?

What is this?

It's from a student at Myungsung High School.

A female student gave me this.

Has she gone crazy?

Don't let me hear the cries of the students.

I hate them.

Do whatever it takes to keep the students from complaining.
