(Monday, Scandal)

(October 1, 2012) (Congratulations on your debut, Do-eun.)

(8 years ago)

(School President)

Is she not done yet?

Hey, that part's a bit slanted.

Move it to the left.

How about now?

Well...

It looked better before. Move it back to the right.

My gosh.

Nice. That looks great.

What do I need to do now?

Now we just need the cake.

Cake?

A-yeong.

Where's the cake?

Aren't you done yet?

I'll be done in 18 minutes.

You said the same thing 30 minutes ago.

Really?

Should I just go buy one right now?

No, that's too bothersome.

Thanks though.

Then how about we take it out of the oven?

No, it's okay.

I like it well done.

When is Do-eun coming?

She should be done by now.

Oh, look.

Congratulations on your debut.

You're the prettiest among all the trainees.

I hope you listen to our favorite idols' songs.

You're the best.

Good luck.

She's so pretty.

Do-eun.

Hey.

Did you wait for long?

No, I just came out.

But what's gotten into you?

Why are you offering me a ride?

I just finished work, and it was near your agency.

Oh, right.

Happy birthday.

Yes, over there.

That's right.

A-yeong.

Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!

Nice!

My gosh!

A-yeong, you did great. You're the best.

Gosh, you suck at playing games.

Move.

Should I tell you what to do?

Should I? Should I tell you?

No, tell Myeong-min.

Should I tell you what to do?

A-yeong, wait a second. I can't see.

My gosh.

A Yeong.

Try texting Do-eun.

Ask her where she is.

You want me to ask her where she is?

Where are you?

What? I'm in front of my house. What about you?

Did Do-eun reply? Where is she?

She's in front of her house.

What?

How can you be so nonchalant about it?

Let's have a party.

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday Dear Do-eun - Happy birthday Dear Do-eun

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

What is all this?

When did you prepare all this?

We would never skip your birthday.

The candles are melting. Hurry and make a wish.

What is this?

Is it a new weapon?

Hey.

A Yeong baked that for two hours.

Hey, just in case,

pray for something you don't want

instead of what you do want. It might bring bad luck.

You guys are so horrible.

What's horrible is your cake.

Thanks, you guys.

I'll do my best to...

What's that sound?

Is it an earthquake?

Are you kidding? It's just our phones vibrating.

(You've received a facebook message.)

(You've received a text message.)

What's going on? Did a war break out?

I bet everything on that cake

that they're just spam messages.

(Do-hui shared a video with you.)

So what is it? Will my cake be okay?

Hae-jun.

Do-eun.

What is

all this?

What's wrong? You're making me nervous.

What in the world...

Why am I in this video?

Do-eun.

That's not you, right?

(It's Okay to be Sensitive 2020)

It's called Deepfake.

It's an AI technology

where people can replace existing images with other people's faces.

In other words, someone synthesized

Do-eun and Kang Hoon's face and some of their body parts

onto an already existing porn video.

I heard it's really hard to tell that it's fake...

if it's synthesized meticulously.

Yes, she's with me right now.

She's going to do an interview about it with Reporter Choo later.

(Tuesday, Interested Parties)

The interview will be focused on the victim.

I'll send you a draft as soon as it's finished.

What did the cops say? Can they catch the culprit?

Where are you? At the agency?

Should we go to your house?

I have to do an interview about it.

I'll call you once we're done.

Okay, bye.

My gosh.

These darn presidents think

they can take care of everything with just one phone call

when they never do anything to help.

Did you eat?

I guess...

it's natural you don't have an appetite.

But still, you should eat.

You need energy to hang in there.

You know what I mean, right?

Yes.

But fortunately,

Kang Hoon's agency quickly reported it to the police,

so we'll be able to find the person who made this go viral in 2 to 3 days.

The problem is it's already gone viral.

If this was shared on an overseas server,

it'll take longer to delete the video.

Let's wait and see what happens.

Also,

we decided to do the interview.

But you don't need to do it if you don't want to.

I'll talk to Kang Hoon's agency about it.

No.

I'll do it.

Are you sure?

Kang Hoon's agency is going to find the initial person who spread this.

I should do something too.

Do Eun.

You did nothing wrong.

Whoever synthesized this and spread it is the one at fault.

You need to keep your chin up.

The assailant should be the one

to hide and be embarrassed. Don't you agree?

Reporter Choo will be here soon.

So just stick to what we've practiced.

Okay.

Did you do it or not?

What?

Reporter Choo.

I mean,

I'm writing an article about them.

So I need to know the truth.

Did you sleep with Kang Hoon?

No.

That's strange.

Why would an idol trainee

meet up with a famous actor

unless he's your sponsor?

He's just...

a close friend of mine.

We met while doing community service.

I see.

So you're not complete strangers.

You actually know each other.

Reporter Choo.

She's being framed for something she didn't even do.

So please write something in her favor.

Yes, of course.

That's my job.

But people want to know the truth.

And Deepfake videos

are really hard to differentiate.

There's no technology

that can tell us whether it's real or not.

And you know how suspicious people can be these days, right?

Doing an interview won't do much.

Even if it's a rumor,

you need evidence to prove you're innocent.

Isn't it funny?

Did you watch the video?

It's not me.

The girl in the video looked very similar to you.

And seeing you now only confirms it even more.

Your eyes are the same,

and so is your skin tone.

Oh, right.

The girl in the video had a spot right above her left breast.

Do you have it?

Can you show me?

(Wednesday, Hateful comments)

(Idol trainee clarifies the truth) (We're not seeing each other.)

(She made friends with a successful actor before making a debut.)

(He has to be her sponsor.)

(I went to the same school as her.) (She's known for that kind of stuff.)

(She always hits on guys.)

(The first 10 users will get the full version.)

(Kang Hoon)

Hey, Hoon.

Do-eun, are you okay?

You really don't look well.

How are you?

I'm just waiting

for the initial uploader to get caught.

I stopped going to auditions,

and my advertisements and fan meetings got delayed.

So I won't be making any money for a while.

The agency also wants me to take a break.

No, not that.

How do you feel?

Me? I'm okay.

Why?

What?

That's weird.

You really look okay.

What's the matter?

Hey, I read your interview.

Oh, that.

But that reporter is a little weird.

He wasn't very clear about the truth.

Did you see my photo in that article?

Everyone knows me because of that,

and I've been getting tons of DMs. It's crazy.

I guess people started bothering you too.

Don't respond to them. Just keep your phone turned off.

Otherwise, you'll have a breakdown, and you won't last in this industry.

Did you also get DMs?

Of course.

I got around 400.

I didn't get to read all of them because there were too many.

(1,801 messages)

You got 400 messages?

Do Eun, I need to go now.

Let's hang in there, okay?

Okay.

(A-yeong)

Hello?

Do-eun, are you okay?

How do you feel?

Are you eating well?

Yes, I'm okay.

Did they find the culprit?

No, not yet.

I think they might catch the person by next week.

It'll be fine.

Thank goodness.

Where are you?

We're at my house studying together.

Do-eun, help me out, will you?

The school president won't let me go.

Hey, stop.

You only finished one page.

Don't lie to me.

A-yeong, sit up straight. Don't make a mess.

Stop nagging at me.

I want to watch a movie next week.

Can you meet us next week?

Sure. What movie do you want to watch?

We'll watch whatever you want to watch.

I'm okay with anything.

But I feel like we might not be able to watch it.

What's going on? Are you sure you're okay?

I'm kidding.

Let's watch a movie next week.

Okay, we'll call you.

Don't skip your meals.

See you next week.

Do you think Do-eun will be okay?

She didn't sound so well.

But she said the culprit will get caught next week.

She's going through a lot right now.

So let's cheer her up when we meet her up next week.

What was that?

We should go eat.

Do you want to go to snack bar?

Sure. Let's have black bean rice cakes.

Rice cakes taste best with beef briskets.

Okay, fine. But let's order five servings.

Gosh, there she goes again.

Let's hurry up.

Let's order three servings and have fried rice afterward.

Okay, sure. Let's have ice cream too.

I want Melona.

I want Turtle Egg.

I'm going to have two.

I'll buy. Let's go.

Nice.

(Lee Do-eun, Idol Trainee) (Recently broke up with Kang Hoon)

(Do you think this could all be fake?)

(I fought with my boyfriend because he thought she was pretty.)

(Your boyfriend has bad taste.)

(Don't fight with your boyfriend because of someone like her.)

(Another disclosure, Lee Do-eun is pregnant!)

(Unbelievable! Is she really pregnant?)

(She must've really enjoyed herself.)

(You feel sorry for Lee Do-eun's baby?)

(But if that article is true,)

(who got her pregnant? Her sponsor? Kang Hoon?)

Why do you want me to go to the OB-GYN?

(Thursday, Family)

Lower your voice.

Do you think I want to make you do this?

It's all for your own sake.

You're doing this for my sake?

Are you sure you're not blaming me?

How could you say that to your daughter?

You want me to get tested so I can prove that I'm a virgin?

Mom, are you out of your mind?

What?

I've had enough of you.

Wait.

Let's hear her out.

Do-eun, you're also too worked up.

Don't be like that. Let's sit down and talk, okay?

Mom.

Do you think a medical certificate is going to end this?

Yes, I do.

People will at least stop talking about it.

You're embarrassed, aren't you?

What?

That's why you're being like this.

Do you find me embarrassing?

You'd better watch what you say!

Do you know something?

You're no different from the others.

You just want to blame me.

Why? Because that's easy.

You think I'm easy.

Lee Do-eun.

How could you tell me to get tested so I can prove I'm a virgin?

What is the matter with all of you?

Am I the one at fault?

I just don't get it.

Why are people talking about me when they know nothing?

And why do I need to listen to you humiliate me like this?

Tell me.

Would you have done this if I were a guy?

Is it because I'm a girl?

No, Do-eun...

It's a mess, isn't it?

(Friday, Trauma)

We didn't even do much, but it's already the end of the year.

We decided to postpone your debut, Do-eun.

The higher ups decided to discuss it

once the situation gets a little better.

Do-eun, I know you worked really hard.

I don't get why it's so easy for them to make this kind of decision.

Director.

What did I do so wrong?

What did you do wrong?

What are you talking about? You did nothing wrong.

Don't think about what you did wrong.

Think about why this happened.

Do you know what I always wonder as I continue to work in this industry?

I wonder why I was born as a woman.

It's such a difficult world for women to live in.

There are so many temptations in this world.

But we need to avoid so many things because people are so sensitive.

You know what I'm talking about.

Alcohol, cigarettes, sex, drugs, gambling, adultery, and plastic surgery.

People act like they're not interested, but they secretly all love it.

But the consequences are different

for men and women.

Men are easily forgiven, or it doesn't become an issue at all.

But that's not the case with women.

Women are an easier target when they're exposed on mass media.

The entire world is always busy

talking about gender equality.

But nothing has changed.

More women appear on TV, the system gets changed for the better,

and the censorship on equality becomes a lot stricter due to morality.

But when something actually happens,

people are more focused on women.

Because women always need to be perfect.

But do you know what's even more funny?

Even women expect other women to be perfect

and have begun pressuring each other.

Women in mass media aren't considered as individuals.

They're just a product.

Look at what's happening now.

You're obviously a victim.

But you're being criticized rather than being protected.

Do you think this is normal?

Do-eun.

Think about it.

What exactly did you do wrong?

(Saturday,)

(Idol Trainee B's Choice,) (Decides to postpone her debut)

The idol trainee

who was involved in a recent scandal

decided to cancel her debut.

The agency announced that they merely postponed her debut...

to protect the artist.

I apologize for worrying my fans.

I will soon return and make it up to you with better acting.

(Mom - Do-eun, did you eat?)
