Original subtitles

Good. Consider yourself dead.

Meh, you always get killed.

It's different this time.

I got a one-million-won hack this time.

[Hack: Illegal hacking program that raises online character's capability]

Even if I die, I will be alive again.

Okay.

No, no.

There he is.

If you want to survive in the game,

you have to push yourself to defeat your competition.

Good!

You are trapped.

But effort and qualification don't guarantee victory.

Darn it, another hack.

This game's become a stupid chicken game.

Hacks are talent and skill.

Don't mess with me.

This is how games work.

Then how about reality?

This is your chicken game.

Stop playing that thing and go already.

Okay.

Hurry.

Okay, I'm going.

Do you want to go for another drink?

Of course! Where?

Somewhere super cool!

[Episode 5 Winner Winner Chicken Dinner]

What's this?

Hush?

It's my last chance to become a real reporter.

Shush?

It's a secret until it's finished.

Your plan seems cool,

but this card looks lame.

There's no name or phone number.

What's the use?

Not sure.

We'll know when the time comes.

What's up with the periods?

Is it short for something?

Keen as always, our ace Ki Ha.

I saw it too.

Good.

If you guess what it is,

I will treat you to a full course steak dinner.

Really?

You don't have to do that.

My wife told me to cut down on meat.

It's not "exploration report"...

Don't go there.

It's simple.

[Words that start with "H"]

[Death of an intern reporter soon forgotten]

[Daily Korea's Manual for Crisis Management / Digital Daily Korea]

Is it about restructuring?

No.

We have to expand, not restructure.

We need to change our public image,

and also renovate from inside.

The image of the press is decided by "good stories".

Only the internet can reproduce them as "good issues".

Our online presence will decide the result of the fight.

I'm not sure.

Don't we have to toughen our discipline first?

This change and expansion will be an opportunity

to improve our discipline and competence.

By the way, the interns are now junior reporters, right?

Yes.

Do you have a plan for them?

Not really.

Though I think you should separate them.

I trust you on this.

Thank you, sir.

I'll take care of this.

Okay.

Check the social media accounts of Koryo News.

Count their likes, comments, and followers,

and compare them to those of last week.

Okay, I will.

Summarize it in half a page before lunch,

and bring it to my desk.

Before lunch? Not dinner?

Yeah, before lunch.

Ju An is better at handling the computer,

so he is doing much more than you.

Okay.

Don't flatter yourself.

We hired you for these things.

Keep it up!

I'll do what I can.

It's hard to get jobs nowadays.

So you should survive here.

Doing nothing, as always.

We lost the HR manager and prosecutor.

Where do we start again?

We have to check these

trial records.

I'll talk to my friend in Prosecution for recontact.

You said you'll never be a court reporter.

I won't.

It's just dinner with my college friend.

Be careful.

They are still very skilled at under-the-table manipulation.

I know. Don't worry.

[Chief Na]

This thing is the devil.

We've got to get rid of these.

Were you disappointed yesterday?

You have to hit rather than get beaten.

It was painful as cutting out my own flesh,

but I had to sell her story.

The company has to remain intact.

We have to make a living.

Did you call me to say that?

No.

It's about the interns.

They are officially our junior reporters.

You're in charge of them.

Ask them which Desk they want to go to.

What do you mean?

Weren't you going to use them for copy-and-pasting?

They are victims too, in a way.

Consider it as a relief measure.

For now, send them wherever they want.

Give them raw eggs at Im's Snack Stand.

Jun Hyuk.

I understand.

But don't bottle it up too long.

The company prefers a greedy-head, not a grump.

Editor Um, coffee in my office.

What?

Reassigning the interns? Are you insane?

Are you really going to treat them as real reporters?

They are now regular reporters officially, aren't they?

You call anyone reporters nowadays?

We are short-handed.

After all the training...

What training?

Teaching copy-and-pasting isn't training.

They were hired 2 months after our regular recruitment.

So they were supposed to do that.

After the incident, we had to give them regular positions.

And now they are reassigned?

Why don't I get to be reassigned?

No one listens to me.

Jae Eun.

Whatever Desk they want?

Really?

Here.

Thank you.

What did you want to say?

Yeah.

Well, it's...

I think we have to do something.

Do what?

About Soo Yeon.

What about her?

You really don't know?

It's you who doesn't know.

What should we do?

No, what can we do?

Why do you say it like that?

Honestly, we all heard what Chief said.

So are you saying she died because...

...because of what Chief said?

Do you want to report to the police that Chief killed her?

Ji Soo.

If we all killed ourselves for mean words,

soldiers in the military are dead zombies.

That's not what I mean.

Yes, it is.

Honestly, I don't understand Soo Yeon.

She should have lived with the courage to die.

What becomes of us if she kills herself like that?

Isn't that irresponsible and selfish?

What?

What are you...

Ju An, you crossed the line.

What line?

I'm not wrong, am I?

My family is poor too, so I had to study alone.

All my friends took expensive private lessons.

I don't have any connections,

so I put every qualification in my resume to be here.

Intern reporters transitioned to permanent reporters?

It's not a common opportunity in this field.

Why should I risk my job when it's not my fault?

Risk?

Soo Yeon died because of discrimination...

Discrimination?

She was different, not discriminated.

It's a fact that she graduated from a mediocre university.

What are you doing loitering?

Move. / Yes, ma'am.

Look on the bright side.

It's better for them anyway.

Anywhere would be better than here.

They have nothing to learn here.

Sung Han.

You have a grudge against me, right?

No.

Not at all.

Yes, you do.

Jang Jae Kwon got Political Desk Editor first.

I don't hold a grudge.

I was just...

...a little bit jealous.

Really?

Well, that jealousy just became your new wings.

Is this...

Is this real?

Of course.

Chief Editor of "Digital Daily Korea", Um Sung Han.

What did I say?

I told you to wait for the new wind.

Don't be jealous anymore.

Brew it on your own desk.

Thank you.

But is it really possible with all the chaos going on?

It's just the way it is.

Hassles come before a great thing.

A tiger does not flee at a crying crow.

As always!

You are comfortable in any crisis!

Hey, I'm not a mattress.

No, I meant to say... Steadfast.

Sir.

I, Um Sung Han, will always believe you.

Okay.

I put Jun Hyuk in charge of the juniors.

Prepare the first issue of Digital Daily Korea.

First issue...

Me...

Brother!

[Im's Snack Stand]

Here.

Gosh.

I know you are upset about a lot of things.

Sorry for not taking care of you.

Let's eat first.

How is it at Digital News Desk?

Is it doable?

Yes. I'm very satisfied.

It's honestly very complacent.

No reporting, no writing stories.

You hit refresh all day.

It's easy to survive,

but hard to endure.

But sir, why did you call us together?

I want to ask you which Desk you want to go to.

It's as I told you, sir.

I like it here at Digital News Desk.

Kyu Tae?

Political or Business Desk?

I don't mind either.

You can tell me which you prefer.

I'm not forcing you.

Then...

Political Desk for me.

Okay.

How about you, Ji Soo?

Can I go wherever I want to go?

It's the Chief's order, so probably.

I have to think about it.

I'm not sure yet.

Okay then.

Everybody, chew on it overnight.

Tell me tomorrow.

Okay.

I want to open it right now,

but I have to fly away soon.

Fly away?

To where?

Next step from Desk Editor.

I'll fly away.

I'm just joking.

Is the Chief going to hand over his office?

Don't be preposterous.

I'll be the moon in the sky.

I fly away!

Wait!

Are you...

Are you trying to kick me out?

What do you mean?

The incident 6 years ago.

Because I know your weakness.

Weakness?

Everybody in this company knows my weakness.

In this field...

If you don't talk about it, it's not a flaw.

That's not what I'm saying.

I don't have the power to kick you out.

I also don't have a reason to kick you out.

You and I are not that important.

I'm not going to another Desk.

I'll stay at Digital News no matter what,

and watch what you do for Soo Yeon.

Irrational stalking.

I've had it with her.

I don't know about the others,

but "you" must go.

Even if the evidence is the real solicitation list,

it's not enough to prove that the defendant,

Go Su Do, wrote it himself and delivered it to HR.

Furthermore, if the solicitation is real,

Geumon Company must be considered as an accomplice,

not a victim of business obstruction.

Thus MP Go's business obstruction cannot be established?

Geez!

Is the prosecutor in the right mind?

I told you to be quiet!

Man.

No one cares.

Look, there's no one around.

Huh?

What's she doing there?

Aren't you going home?

I'm having dinner with my college friend in Prosecution.

I'll ask him about MP Go...

Okay, I get it.

Go already.

Hear, understand, but be skeptic, and hold on to it.

Honestly, I'm the only one who's smart enough...

Wrong!

Watch me? As if!

What?

Yikes!

Hey!

What are you still doing here?

I told you. I'm going to watch you.

Downright stalking.

That's it.

Follow me.

You said you wanted to work at City Desk?

What? Me?

It's okay.

Every reporter wants to work here.

No need to be embarrassed.

Right. Of course.

Real reporters work at City Desk...

But we don't just let anyone in.

We work 24/7. It's the real deal.

Your internship only scratches the surface.

I know. I didn't learn anything about anything...

Hey! When I was a junior,

no one told me how to cover a report.

I started from the bottom with my stories.

Here, no one teaches you.

Sorry.

Try your best. Who knows?

You might meet a celebrity with drunk driving charges.

If she wins that lottery on her first day,

it's her fate to work with us.

Sir!

Are you really doing this?

Yeah.

Come to think of it, you are right about one thing.

I don't have the power to kick you out,

but I have a "reason" to kick you out.

What?

Don't you want to be a reporter?

Not a trash reporter like me, but a real one.

Do you really think you can be one at Digital News Desk?

That's...

I understand you are looking for an excuse

because you think you got your position because of her.

What? Excuse?

Don't waste your time with your sense of inferiority.

Go investigate and write a story.

Be a reporter.

Reporter?

[Daily Korea's Han Jun Hyuk, City Desk reporter]

Are you telling me to be a reporter?

You don't deserve to tell me that.

So if you don't want to be like me,

learn the ropes properly.

Be a real reporter.

Story?

Think I can't write it?

Was your dream becoming a producer when you were young?

Not really.

People work to put food on the table.

Lame. Is that really all?

What do you mean?

Nothing's more fulfilling to amuse my daughter's palate.

That I admit.

But you forgot my birthday,

and you're calling it even with just one chicken.

Ta-da!

Happy birthday.

What's this?

Open it.

I really wanted this.

So pretty.

Do it for me.

Okay.

Let's see.

Here.

Right, it's done.

How do I look?

Pretty?

Yeah, pretty.

Thank you, dad!

My sweetie.

Of course, I am your world now.

But you must've had a dream when you were young.

Yeah, I did.

I wanted to dig out the evil in this world,

and fix it to make this world a fairer place.

A ridiculous dream.

Only judges and doctors can fix things.

So you should be a doctor.

Do you think so too?

No.

I want you to do whatever you want to do.

Do what makes your heart pound.

What "boils" your blood.

The only thing that makes my heart pound

and boils my blood...

is the name, Han Jun Hyuk.

Write stories instead of making excuses?

Be a reporter?

What's up with your company?

Two bombs in one day?

Did you know the intern that killed herself?

I was her trainer.

What?

Man, you should have told me that.

So are you back to City Desk?

No.

I'm personally curious about MP Go's case.

Think about it.

Let's say the list doesn't belong to MP Go,

but the prosecutor messed up.

Business obstruction?

The solicitee is an accomplice.

It doesn't make sense.

The charges should have been authority abuse or bribery.

I guess there was no evidence for those charges.

What?

Does that really make sense?

Are prosecutors scarecrows?

Scarecrows would be smarter.

They were depending on your exclusive story

and the trial went south.

From celebration party to funeral.

So there was no under-the-table work?

Are you telling me to believe that?

You believe swindlers, not us.

At least swindlers have logic.

You don't have logic or impact.

Do you want me to make up words then?

I get it, dude.

Then the list is not contaminated.

But it might not belong to MP Go.

That's what it seems for now.

For now?

Okay.

So set me up with another interview with the prosecutor.

Endow me a Prosecution exclusive.

I need to be promoted!

You wish!

I used to ask you for help all the time,

but you never answered once.

Now you want my help?

This is a corrupt relationship.

What should I call it...

Ugly companion?

Inadequate relationship?

Yeah.

An affair?

You got it wrong.

Old man, I've fancied you since our school years.

So it's romance.

Crazy!

Put away that snout!

It's okay.

I once dreamed the Captain stripped me butt naked

and hung me upside down at the police station.

It didn't fall from the sky.

I paid my precious ￦500 for this.

So enjoy.

What?

What a cheesy pick-up line!

But he doesn't seem unfamiliar.

I know.

You might think I'm flirting with you,

and I totally am.

So even if you feel pressured, just have a sip.

I don't know who you are, but...

Choi Kyeong Woo.

The best Kyeong Woo in the world.

What?

It's my name. Choi Kyeong Woo.

Oh, okay.

Flirting or not, I really need this.

Thank you.

I've never seen you here.

Which press are you from?

I'm from Daily Korea. / Daily Korea.

What? / What?

I thought you seemed familiar.

Turns out we are juniors from the same press.

Juniors?

I didn't say I was a junior.

You are an intern, and I'm...

No, I completed my internship a few days ago.

Hey.

I completed my juniorship decades ago.

Already?

Didn't you get this job 3 months earlier than me?

You knew.

Hey!

3 months or 3 days, I'm still your senior.

I couldn't even talk to my seniors on an eye-to-eye level.

Also, we're different from the start.

I passed the official press exam,

and you are an internship case.

So are you saying you can boss around me?

Boss around?

Who bossed you around? Me?

I got you coffee with a sound intent.

Right.

Flirting with a sound intent.

Then it's rather a...

What?

I'm just kidding.

I didn't know anyone around here,

and I stepped "out of line" seeing a senior from work.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Digital News Desk's junior reporter, Lee Ji Soo.

Exclusive!

You're lucky. I'm a good senior.

Tell me if you have any problems.

Be at ease.

Okay, dude.

Huh?

Why?

Do I have to say sir?

...Sir?

You told me to be at ease.

Whatever.

I also feel like I've known you for a long time.

Right?

Anyway...

When do we go home?

Hey.

No reporters get to go home here. Especially juniors.

What?

Hurry up!

What's going on?

What do you think? An accident or incident.

What? He turns from a canned anchovy to a swordfish.

It's the PR officer.

Film him.

It's drunk driving, but no hit and run.

So no cameras.

If it's a simple drunk driving,

you wouldn't be here, officer.

I'm on my day... no, night duty.

It's not our first time.

Photographers?

Let's listen to the officer first.

Okay?

Okay, go ahead.

Okay. So...

It's...

We have a lot of questions.

First, didn't he switch seats?

I told you, it's not like that.

If he switched seats, it's even more serious. Right?

We only have circumstantial evidence.

It's me.

We have an accident... no, an incident here.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, old man. Let's go for round 2.

Jun Hyuk.

Don't you have to find the problem in Daily Korea?

Daily Korea?

Didn't you read the tabloid gossip?

It's weird.

The correction report was released at that exact time.

It almost seems like sabotage for the trial.

What?

[Correction report affected the ruling]

[Daily Korea's Chief Na Sung Won knew the list didn't belong to MP Go]

[(Exclusive) MP Go's recruitment solicitation list found]

[One day before MP Go's trial]

Yeah, it's me.

Did you check?

Really?

Yeah.

[Correction for MP Go Soo Do's solicitation report]

The correction report was written

the same day the original story was decided to be released.

Chief knew it was a misreport?

Captain, I was going to call you.

What? Incident?

Captain.

Yeah.

I guess Ji Soo really is supposed to become a City Desk reporter.

It's a drunk driving case.

According to the security cam footage,

the driver might have switched seats.

Drunk driving and switching seats?

Is it a celebrity?

Yeah. It's actor Jung Tae Young.

Jung Tae Young?

Isn't he the son of MP Jung Chul Wook?

Yeah. It's not an accident but an incident.

Where's Ji Soo?

Went to the hospital with Kyeong Woo to see the victim.

What are you going to do?

You were serious when you tossed her here.

Don't you think you should support her?

You told me you were going to be a proper senior.

Right.

I'll support Kyeong Woo.

You take care of Ji Soo.

Why?

She's smart and shrewd,

but she's no good with me.

[Sung Won Hospital]

Ji Soo.

I have to go to the scene of the accident.

Go interview the victim's boss when you're done here.

Me?

Yeah.

What should I ask?

There will be other reporters there as well.

Just record what they say.

Okay, I'll try it.

Bye, then.

How is he, doctor?

Can he live?

When can we interview him?

Is his injury serious?

He's in shock due to severe bleeding.

He's Jung Tae Young?

Yeah.

Is that the manager saying he drove the car?

Yeah.

But he's insisting that he said he is the manager.

No, that's nonsense.

What does the police officer in charge say?

Nothing.

I got it from the official police press release.

Did you call the insurance company?

Insurance company? No.

The car's worth more than ￦300 million.

They must have called the insurance company first.

What's the insurance company's first question?

Who drove the car?

Right.

What do you think about the incident?

I feel bad.

How long has he been working here?

A bit more than 5 months.

Did he cause any problems while working?

He didn't seem to have any dreams.

He spent his time away with mobile gaming.

I told him to cut it down out of parental concern,

but he didn't make any major problems.

Game? What kind of game?

Motorcycle game. Not sure though.

What was he delivering today?

Chicken, of course.

What kind of chicken?

We sell fried and seasoned,

and people prefer our seasoned chicken.

Pathetic, eh?

Reporters ask the lamest questions.

It's...

Yeah.

We have a saying in this field.

If a dog bites a person, it's nothing.

But if a person bites a dog, it becomes news.

What?

A famous person hits a delivery man's motorcycle.

It has the potential to be provocative, but...

But...?

Huh?

An obvious story doesn't attract traffic.

We need a sexy and provocative one.

What would you ask, reporter Lee Ji Soo?

Sir?

[Gangnam Police Station]

Hey.

We're back.

How did it go?

When the manager called the insurance company,

he said he didn't drive the car.

I got the exclusive call record with the insurance company.

Crime of escape instigation and insurance fraud.

It's going to be a long-awaited exclusive.

Time is running out. What do we do?

Send it before the rotary press runs?

We should.

Hurry and go write it.

Okay. See you later.

Let's upload the switching seats issue first,

as an exclusive digital newsflash.

Desk might kill it if we bring it to them.

You are on this case too.

Go write the story.

Me too?

You asked the right question.

Sir?

You said the victim didn't have any dreams.

Did you actually ask him about it?

He seemed that way, I didn't really...

You said you advised him out of parental concern.

Do you mean it?

I have kids myself, so of course I meant it...

Why are you asking that?

If you mean it, you shouldn't be here.

Your son-like delivery man is in the hospital, isn't he?

Write about what you felt in your story.

What a character.

She can't be contained in City Desk.

She's just like you.

How can she be good with you?

What?

I covered the case like you told me to.

All I have to do now is write the story.

You asked the most useless questions.

I don't call that reporting.

It's other reporters who asked useless questions.

I was the one who asked what's really important.

So what's really important?

[Daily Korea]

Hi.

Good morning.

[Delivery man in a coma due to violent motorcycle driving]

[Delivery man demands a huge settlement]

[Delivery man enjoys violent driving]

They are all the same.

[MP Jung Chul Wook's actor son commits drunk driving and wounds the victim]

[by Yang Yoon Kyeong & Choi Kyeong Woo, City Desk reporter]

[Lee Ji Soo, junior reporter]

Manipulations galore.

[MyCom Blackbox]

[MP Jung Chul Wook's actor son commits drunk driving and wounds the victim]

I understand it being killed on the paper,

but what's up with the digital newsflash?

Darn it.

[Chief]

What's up at this hour?

I killed the digital exclusive.

Can I ask why?

We might face another MP Go case.

We double checked this time.

You didn't double check before?

I'm embarrassed to see the juniors.

How could he kill the story right after uploading?

A detective must have let MP Jung Chul Wook know.

That his son is in big trouble.

Then MP Jung calls Editor Na for the clean-up.

But it's too fast.

Same with the correction report.

Chief isn't a clairvoyant.

Don't you have to find the problem in Daily Korea?

The correction report was released at that exact time.

[Daily Korea's Chief Na Sung Won knew the list didn't belong to MP Go]

It almost seems like sabotage for the trial.

It keeps happening. I think...

I think it was my mistake again.

I'm so sorry.

It's not because of your story.

But I messed up MP Go's story too.

It's different from that.

Stories get killed all the time.

It's not your fault.

She's right.

You worked your butt off all night.

It hurts me to see your work not being appreciated.

It's not your fault.

Dude, not your fault.

Ji Soo wrote a good one,

even though it's not report-worthy.

I put her name in the by-line for her effort.

Lee Ji Soo, since when have you been a City Desk reporter?

What?

You're a Digital News Desk junior.

Why are you writing a City Desk story?

I'm sorry, it's...

I don't know who has your back,

but do you really think you are here because of your skills?

You got a free ride, so gather your senses.

Because of that suicide case,

people are annoying me everywhere I go.

Ma'am.

You shouldn't say that.

What?

We...

We were duly selected as interns after interviews.

More than 600 people applied because it was an internship transferable to regular reporters.

4 of us were selected after 3 interviews.

So?

Are you talking back to me?

No, I'm not.

There's no way Ji Soo wrote that report on her own accord.

Another senior must have told her to do it.

I don't think it's her fault.

That's enough. Stop it.

No.

Let's see some more allying.

Go on.

We're not allying.

Even if she did something wrong,

it doesn't have anything to do with our selection process.

There's a logical leap in your assertion.

Hey!

How dare you talk to your senior like that?

Jae Eun!

I'll talk to them. Stop being mad.

Don't step in.

It's your fault for not training them properly.

They don't know how to respect their seniors!

I'm sorry.

Editor!

Hello.

The Avengers have assembled here.

You should've texted me about you coming today.

Nah.

What are you doing here in the office anyway?

What a survivor.

I thought you would quit or be fired.

Know where your line is, Editor Yoon.

What do you mean?

You know, he's the manager of Digital News Desk,

the current bread and butter of Daily Korea.

If he's gone, Daily Korea is gone too. Right?

What?

Digital News Desk is what?

Look at this loon.

Did you have a brain injury while I was gone?

You seem different.

I'm not different at all.

I'm the same trash reporter.

Let's go.

Hey!

I heard you assisted our newbie's own goal.

Pathetic.

Do a proper job if you're going to assist.

No more own goals.

You are avengers alright.

Pathetic avengers.

Huh?

Ki Ha.

Geez.

Ki Ha.

That son of a gun.

He's so full of himself

because he got to be the Desk Editor first.

Snap.

Why didn't you punch him?

We outnumbered him.

Huh?

I can knock him down with my eyes closed.

I'll slaughter him the next time I see him.

Ki Ha.

You avoid a pile of poop not because it's scary.

You avoid it because it's dirty.

Good job while I was gone.

I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for?

That intern incident doesn't have anything to do with you.

The misreport on MP Go's case...

The junior did a junior-ish job.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Judges misjudge too.

Editor Yoon, it's...

I'll tell you.

Don't reopen the case just because you feel guilty.

You don't have any responsibility.

Luckily, that dead intern covered it up nicely.

Why don't you answer me?

Why don't you answer me?

Is it our fault that she killed herself?

Why do we have to care about your feelings?

What's all this ruckus about?

Reporter Lee.

What's the problem?

It's...

The juniors are not doing what I told them to do.

I scolded them a bit, and they're talking back.

They don't respect us at all.

Juniors shouldn't disrespect their seniors.

It's so hurtful.

Only the seniors who act like real seniors.

What?

Respect doesn't come naturally.

You have to build it up.

What have you built upon them?

Never mind.

What's up?

Editors are everywhere.

Guess I'm an editor magnet.

Stop asking that.

I'm not a swindler!

Attention.

We are restructuring to overcome the recent crisis.

Restructuring? On the personnel?

I'll message you about it later.

Seniors, see me in the meeting room in an hour.

Lee Ji Soo.

Yes?

You were dragged to City Desk and wrote stories all night yesterday.

You must have not slept at all.

You must've skipped breakfast.

Someone take her out and feed her.

Okay. I skipped breakfast too.

Let's go eat.

No thanks. I'm fine.

Lee Ji Soo, do as your senior says.

Go eat your breakfast.

Okay.

Thank you.

It's good, right?

First cover, first story, and first kill.

What a day for Lee Ji Soo.

I know.

I did what you told me to do

and all I get is "insulted".

Can I order a bottle of soju?

Geez!

You haven't slept. Is it okay for you?

You drink all the time. Why can't I?

Gosh.

You learn bad things first.

Ma'am, one bottle of soju, please.

Okay.

You know Lee Jae Eun is worthless trash.

Just let it go.

Your story reads more like an editorial,

but it was good enough.

It's "praise".

Honestly, I thought...

[Delivery man well-known for violent driving / Always played mobile games]

A delivery man without any dreams with a game addiction.

He goes for a huge settlement.

We are going to copy-and-paste this. Right?

Yeah.

I understand why you're upset.

No.

The reason I'm really upset is this.

People with money and background avoid punishment.

For them, people change victims into perpetrators.

A dog bites a person,

and we can't write a story about the dog.

Or even worse, we can get bitten.

So trash press makes the bitten person into a dog!

I don't expect them to stand up for the victims.

They only have to be fair judges.

But how can they do this?

I was the one who asked what's really important.

So what's really important?

Sincerity.

Shouldn't reporters think about where to look

and what to write with passion?

Shouldn't reporters have that dream in here?

You are right.

No.

I was naive.

About Soo Yeon, and the victim from last night.

This field has always been like that.

There's no rule to this game.

No sincerity.

Lee Ji Soo.

What do you feel when you see those victims?

I feel like I owe them big time. I feel sorry.

You told me not to lose the spark.

You told me to boil up harder.

The one who died because of my misreport.

He loved Gomtang.

So he bought me a bowl here before he died.

Reporter Han.

I am a shameful husband and father.

But you shouldn't be like that.

He wrote me something.

It was a poem.

[Don't lose your spark for something petty.]

[Boil harder and bigger. Like me. - Gomtang]

And...

He told me he wanted to be a poet when he was young.

He even blushed.

Must have been embarrassed.

Poet?

I didn't know then,

but I found out after he died.

I...

I owe him a bowl of Gomtang that he loved

and a poem.

But now,

I can never pay him back.

I can never boil hard again because of my sin.

Are you asking if I feel like I owe him?

If I'm sorry?

Ji Soo.

What do you think I've been feeling?

For the last 6 years?

No.

He didn't want to be a poet.

You know nothing.

What?

My dad's favorite wasn't Gomtang.

Dad?

What are you saying?

Producer Lee Yong Min

who died 6 years ago because of you...

He's my dad.

And my dad's favorite was

chicken, just like I me. Not Gomtang.

This is how games work.

Then how about our reality?

We play a survival chicken game without brakes,

where our dreams are collateral.

There's no rule in this cold-blooded game called reality.

The weak have to sacrifice themselves for the strong

and no one cares about that.

Judges who give unbiased verdicts

and fathers who teach to dream of a fair world.

They disappeared in this world.

Our sons and daughters are robbed of fair opportunities

and leave us in cold bodies

unable to open that last door.

No self-reflection, no determination for tomorrow.

We repeat our wrongdoings "daily" in "Korea"

in a brutal chicken game.

Our fathers don't bring fried chickens home anymore.

[Don't lose your spark for something petty.]

[Boil harder and bigger. Like me. - Gomtang]

Ji Soo, hurry.

You're going to be late.

Why are you so fast?

What were you doing last night?

I was up late watching a movie.

Hurry up, now.

Slow down.

[Don't lose your spark for something petty.]

[Boil harder and bigger. Like me. - Gomtang]

[Hush]

[Korea Daily]

[Digital Korea Daily has perfectly transformed into an independent channel.]

We no longer have to be useless reporters doing immoral work.

Independent my foot. It's just a means to make money,

[causing families to fight.]

[Submit]

[Give it a try and you'll know.]

What about Gimeon Corporate's unhealthy employment trend ?

I just have to get permission straight from the chief editor, right?

What do you think?

How do I know what's on your mind?

What is it that you're really curious about?

After Soo Yeon's passing,

he'd stake everything to go against them.

[If I hadn't tried my best to stop him,]

he might've become a whistleblower.

[Resignation letter?]

[A resignation letter is what you could think of after everything?]
