What's going on?

From this moment on, we will be holding...

a special lecture for all of you.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

- Breathe in. Breathe out. - Breathe in. Breathe out.

- Breathe in. Breathe out. - Breathe in. Breathe out.

Imagine engraving an English vocabulary...

to each one of your brain cells.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

- Breathe in. Breathe out. - Breathe in. Breathe out.

- Breathe in. Breathe out. - Breathe in. Breathe out.

To be honest, covering the corruption of a private school...

won't be able to bring about a huge issue.

You'll hear the same response from any reporter.

The school's rotting away,

and all you care about is whether it's going to be an issue or not?

Bye, then.

Sir, wait.

Chairman Oh, Mr. Park apparently just visited...

Reporter Choi.

Is his next stop going to be the education committee?

My gosh.

Hello, parents of Wildflower Class.

I'm Oh Se Ho, the chairman of Sulsong High School.

(Sulsong High School)

True equality is transferring the kids based on their aptitudes.

Sulsong High School is mainly focused on studying,

and judging Wildflower Class students with the same standard...

could come across to them as an act of discrimination.

If they're not apt for studying,

we should help them find another route.

Instead of forcing the kids to follow the standardized system,

I think it's right to show that there are other possibilities...

they could choose from.

Excuse me.

I'm going to send Jae Yoon to college no matter what.

I understand, ma'am. But it's better for the kids to transfer schools...

even if they wish to go to college.

Sulsong has the highest competition rate for school grades.

So if they transfer schools, they'll be able to get better grades.

But...

if my kid still wishes to go to this school,

I would like to let him.

Please think about what would be the best choice for your kids.

Our kids are still very young.

Your wise decision...

will end up becoming the right investment for your kids' future.

If my son's okay with it...

- I need to send my kid to college. - Same here.

- Maybe I'll ask my kid. - It could be an opportunity.

- It doesn't sound too bad. - Right?

Goodness, I'm here.

Gosh, I'm so proud of you guys. You're studying so hard.

Mr. Park, this place is really weird.

I want to go home, Mr. Park.

Yes.

I know it's hard.

But you should at least show the adults...

that your will is stronger than their selfish decisions.

Regardless of what the result may be,

it'll still be meaningful if you try your best.

Plus, it'll leave behind a lot of great memories with your classmates.

Okay, then. In order to make this experience more meaningful,

I'll treat you guys to a course meal...

of jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk.

Wait!

Don't order tangsuyuk. Just order jjajangmyeon.

- My gosh. - Seriously?

- What? - Can we order double servings?

You'll get recycled soon.

Studying won't make any difference.

Just start packing up.

Start emptying your lockers, okay?

Hey.

You'll put us in trouble. Don't do it.

Hey, Young Min. Did I say something wrong?

Don't try to use your dumb brains.

Just leave quietly.

Getting transferred because we have bad grades.

I really hate that.

I'm sick of them looking down on us.

It's good.

Right.

Even if you're not good at studying, you're still my son.

Son.

Don't you want to transfer schools?

It doesn't sound like a bad suggestion.

They say you can go to college.

What? Transfer?

- Mom. - Yes?

I just started liking this school.

Also, if I transfer schools, I won't have any friends.

Right.

Okay. Eat up.

Transfer. You can learn skills and it's nice.

You'll take over and run my shop later anyway.

Learn skin care...

and makeup skills...

- from the basics... - No.

My friends are all here.

Friends aren't important.

Why can't you think?

My goodness.

Hello.

Why are you trying to make me transfer schools?

Should I let you do what you want then?

Listen to me.

The chairman is right about everything.

No.

What will you do with a high school diploma?

Just transfer.

My friends are all here. And I have memories here.

Just because of bad grades, you can't ruin my school days.

This tastes terrible.

Bulgogi burgers at my school is much better.

Don't eat it then.

Give me that. A takeout box, please!

Don't! Don't you dare take another bite.

- My mom told me to transfer. - Same here.

Listening to her made me want to study.

But can we really do it?

Why can't you?

Why not? Let's show them.

How about it?

- Let's do it. - Let's do it.

Okay. Today we'll learn about tense.

Sir.

What is tense?

Tense is...

like past, present, and future.

What's the most important is...

that you know the be verbs.

What are be verbs?

Be verbs are...

Right. It's okay not to know that.

I am happy.

I am sleepy.

I am a son.

(Understanding tense)

Let's learn...

the most basic be verbs.

Will you try it first, Bok Su?

This is hard.

"I am happy."

I am happy.

He's cool.

"I am sleepy."

I am sleepy.

"I am a son."

I am the sun.

Hey, old man.

You're pretty good.

Sir. So what are be verbs?

Okay, next question.

Give me examples of passive suffix in Korean.

I explained it to you a minute ago.

Answer!

Ee, Hee...

Answer!

Ee, Hee, Lee...

- Kee. - Correct!

Ee, Hee, Lee, Kee.

That's cheating.

I got the most of it. Next.

Okay, here we go.

What are the three Korean honorifics?

Answer!

Object honorific, subject honorific...

Relative honorific?

Correct!

Next question.

What are the examples of object honorific?

Support, receive, inquire, eat.

- Wrong! - Why?

Support, receive, inquire, meet.

Correct!

That's so scary.

- That scared me. - Sorry.

Ms. Son. Goodness.

My heart is racing.

(Settlement of accounts)

(Sulsong High School List of Ivy Class Corruptions)

(Standing Committee on Education)

I know Chairman Lim of Sulsong High School very well.

You're mistaken about a lot of things.

She wouldn't commit such corruption like these.

These are actually happening in school.

Ranking students by their grades is discrimination,

and that only makes them have...

a sense of inferiority and deprivation.

The society...

already works based on discrimination.

Because that's efficient.

You should...

teach students reality.

Should a school be like that too?

How can a member of an education committee...

think of education as something to be efficient?

Students aren't machines.

You're wasting my time and out of your mind.

Well...

Wildflowers, let's call it a day.

Good job. Go home now.

- Yes. - Nice.

Let's go. I'll take you home.

Bye now.

Hey, Soo Jeong.

Yes?

Are you okay with being in debt?

I'm not.

In debt? What debt?

Well, you slept over at my place...

Here...

Here... You...

You know? Here... I can sleep over at my girlfriend's...

One night...

Sleep over then.

Soo Jeong sure is a modern woman.

Don't be a coward.

I won't do anything aside from holding your hand.

What?

Okay, then.

Hey, Bok Su.

Are you sleeping?

Are you really sleeping?

How can you sleep in a situation like this?

Are we really going to just hold hands all night?

I must've been crazy.

Why did I teach him what a platonic relationship is?

I turned him into someone too good.

Patience strengthens the soul.

Patience strengthens the soul.

Strengthen what?

Hey, Soo Jeong.

I was really going to hold it in,

but I can't because of you.

(Sulsong High School discriminates students.)

(It must be abolished.)

(One-man protestor, Park Dong Jun)

What's this?

Mr. Park, what is this? Are you really protesting alone?

It turned out this way.

I couldn't find anything else to do.

I'll join you then.

Hey, go inside.

Mr. Park, it's too cold...

Ms. Son, go inside to teach the students.

And Bok Su, go inside and study hard.

What about you?

I'll have to fight against injustice.

I got my classes stripped away. I should use it meaningfully.

Everyone, you should go to your places.

Go on.

It's shameful in front of the kids,

but what if the media catches on?

I think they're keeping an eye on us...

ever since Young Min and Bok Su's incidents.

I have it under control, so don't worry. You can go.

Am I meeting the head of school management committee today?

Yes, the meeting's later tonight.
