COMPUTER SCIENCE BASICS

GRAND PRIZE
THE 2020 CYBERSECURITY COMPETITION

You're up.

I made your favorite dish, gimbap.
Hurry and eat.

And for our next story.

The largest class-action lawsuit
in South Korean judicial history

is about to begin.

Users of the online shopping mall, Raon,

are seeking damages
for a personal data breach.

The number of co-litigators alone
is over 30 million,

and the amount being claimed
is close to three trillion won.

Taesan Law Firm,

to which Minister of Justice candidate
Tae Su-mi is affiliated,

filed a lawsuit with
the Seoul Central District Court

on behalf of Raon users.

Meanwhile, Bae In-cheol,
the founder and CEO of Raon,

is still unconscious
after he ingested poison

during the trial with the KCC

over the amount of the penalty surcharge
for the personal data breach.

There are growing concerns that Raon,

the nation's largest e-commerce company,
will go bankrupt due to the large sum

of three trillion won
that is being claimed as damages.

Why are all the news reports
going in this direction?

Did Hanbada do something?

What's our PR team doing?

I'll pass your comments
along to the PR team.

It shouldn't seem like the powerful Taesan
is running poor Raon out of business.

That's what Hanbada
is going for right now.

That's why they keep bringing my name up
and stressing how Raon's CEO collapsed.

-Don't you agree?
-Yes.

Taesan usually works with companies,

and standing with the consumers
in this lawsuit

is actually a show of great courage.

We have to promote that
we're representing 30 million citizens

despite the risk
of looking like we're attacking

our existing clients as well.

Mom.

I have something to tell you.

-I'm working right now, so--
-I did it.

What?

I did it.

I hacked into Raon.

I'm glad you told me the truth.

But from now on, you can't tell anyone.

I'll take care of everything.

What are you going to do?

Will you go to the police with me?

Why do you keep bringing up the police?

Let's say that we do go.

What do you think will happen after that?

Do you have any idea

how scary and agonizing it is
to be punished by the law?

Mom, I'm already scared and in agony.

If getting punished
will make this situation any better,

I'll take it.

I did it.

I'm the reason Raon is ruined
and In-cheol is in that state.

Choi Sang-hyeon!

Do you not think about your mom?

Don't you know how much is
at stake for me right now?

My confirmation hearing
is right around the corner!

What…

does that have to do with this?

Are you afraid you might not
become Minister because of me?

Yes!

How could you do something like this

when you know how much effort
I've put into becoming Minister?

And now, of all times?

Did I ever expect a lot from you?

Did I ever tell you to get good grades?

All I ever wanted

was my son to grow up to be a good person!

What about you?

Have you only been good all your life?

You don't think I know?

-What?
-Woo Young-woo!

You don't think I know?

CASE 16
THOUGH UNUSUAL AND PECULIAR

Is there really no way
for you to come in a bit faster?

Right.

Then from now on,
I'll count "one, two, three" a bit--

Whatever. Did you self-reflect?

Sorry?

Did the three of you self-reflect
on what you did?

Yes, I did some deep self-reflection.

From now on, I'll be sure
to abide by the rules and procedures,

and not give my opinion as I please.

I knew a Hana University graduate
would know better.

That's right.

I'm not upset about rookies
giving their opinions, okay?

I'm really not that uptight.

But last time, you said,

"Don't say anything
you haven't been asked,

and don't do anything you haven't…"

-Hello, ma'am.
-Sit down, everyone.

Sit.

Let's not be like that, okay?

Sit.

I'll be joining the Raon lawsuit
going forward.

There's not much time left
until the first trial, right?

What's our strategy?

First, we plan to emphasize
the results of the lawsuit against the KCC

since it was clearly proven that

Raon not having the idle timeout set up
wasn't the direct cause

of the personal data breach.

All right.

Because we won the previous trial,

we can start this lawsuit
in our favor too.

As always, I'm glad we have you,
Attorney Jang.

To argue that the hack began
before the law was revised

is something you can only find

by looking really closely
at the details, right?

Nice work.

We always learn a lot from Attorney Jang.

Right.

How is Mr. Bae In-cheol doing?

He's still unconscious,

so it seems that
the board of directors at Raon

will be appointing Kim Chan-hong
as an independent CEO.

That way Mr. Kim can have the authority

to make decisions by himself
even in Mr. Bae's absence.

CEO KIM CHAN-HONG

Then according to the decision
of Raon's board of directors,

we will abolish the co-CEO system

and change it to an independent CEO system
with both Bae In-cheol and Kim Chan-hong.

Mr. Kim, would you like to say something?

After founding Raon with In-cheol, I mean…

Mr. Bae In-cheol and I

have always decided on matters together,

whether they were big or small.

But with Raon going through a crisis,
and with In-cheol being sick,

I've become an independent CEO

and am taking on
a much bigger responsibility.

Yes, it's true this is a lot of pressure.

But I will do my best to fulfill not only
my responsibilities but Mr. Bae's as well.

Members of the board of directors,

Raon will overcome this crisis
no matter what.

It keeps coming off.

-Attorney Jung.
-Hey.

You came to visit me?

Aren't you really busy right now?

We're sorry we couldn't visit sooner.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

The surgery went well,
and I'm slowly recovering.

Attorney Kwon, I'm sorry,
but could you pick up that comb for me?

Thanks.

I couldn't pick it up for hours,
so I haven't been able to comb my hair.

Were you alone here this whole time?
You don't have anyone taking care of you?

My mother was supposed to come
instead of the caregiver today,

but I told her to stay home
and get some rest.

My ex-wife is coming today.

Is that why you have that face mask on?

Yes. To look pretty.

You are pretty.

I mean…

You look dewy.

Right.

Really? Do I?

I see.

The two of you should also
start taking care of your health now.

If you count on your youth
and pull all-nighters

while skipping meals all the time,

you'll start getting sick
as soon as you turn 40.

I'm sure there are a lot of sick attorneys
in our firm besides me.

Actually, I heard Attorney Kim Ji-yong

has facial nerve paralysis
from all the stress.

What?

Attorney Shin Seung-jae was also sick.

He kept overworking
and came down with Meniere's disease.

Gosh.

Hello.

Then we will…

Yes, we should get going.

Yes, okay.

What?

Already? But you just got here.

We'll come back another time.

We'll leave you two alone.

You look well.

Really?

Do I look dewy?

Watch this.

What is it?

Soonpoong Clinic.

Soonpoong Clinic?

You used to like it.

I bought all of the episodes in HD.

Right. Thanks.
Now I'll have a reason to laugh.

Ji-su.

When I'm discharged…

do you want to go to Jeju Island?

I mean, there's this place
that sells great meat noodles.

We should go there together.

I'll buy you meat noodles.

When you were young and healthy,

you were crazy about work
and I always came second.

What's gotten into you

now that you're old and sick?

I'm sorry.

But, still…

I made quite a lot of money.

Thanks to only focusing on work
until I got old and sick.

Then can you quit the firm?

What?

Once you're discharged and you return
to Hanbada, nothing will change.

The workload or how intense it is.

You can't do anything about that
on your own.

You should move to a firm where
you can have a good work-life balance.

Right.

Looks like you never once thought
about leaving the firm

even when you got this sick.

That's so you.

No, well…

I'll think about it from now on.

If I really think it's necessary…

I'll quit my job at Hanbada.

I'll change.

So be with me.

Please?

It's been a while, Attorney Kwon.

Yes.

So what is it that you wanted to say?

If I were Attorney Woo,

I would want to quit Hanbada right now.

Really?

Why?

The mentor who was nice to her
isn't at the firm because he's sick,

and the new senior attorney
that she's working with hates her.

She also recently broke up
with the guy she was dating at the firm.

"Dating at the firm"?

Attorney Woo was in a relationship?

Yes.

Gosh, I see.

Anyway…

Now would be the right time
to make Attorney Woo quit Hanbada.

I came to tell you that.

So in the end,
you couldn't accomplish this yourself.

-Excuse me?
-Attorney Kwon.

You said you would make Attorney Woo
quit Hanbada.

Whether she quits or gets fired.

I think that was our deal, wasn't it?

You're right.

It's also true that
I wasn't able to accomplish it myself.

Are you giving up?

Yes.

I'm going to stop now.

Why?

From now on…

I think…

I'm going to try living like a fool.

Well…

I understand where you are coming from…

but I like you.

Because I like you…

Since I like you…

Since I like you…

Excuse me.

Attorney Woo.

Who are you?

And who are you?

I asked who you were!

You're Attorney Woo, right?

I have a message for you.

TAESAN LAW FIRM

Taesan Law Firm?

If you have a message for her,
you should send it to the firm.

What are you doing
coming to her house at this hour?

-Are you really a Taesan employee?
-Who are you to be butting in?

Are you her guardian or something?

I'm…

Well…

Deliver the message you came to tell me.

I will listen to it with Jun-ho.

Attorney Woo, would you like to work

at Taesan's US office in Boston?

Of course, Taesan will provide housing
for you and your father

as well as any necessary
educational and living expenses.

And your salary will be more than double
what you get at Hanbada right now.

Especially for you, Attorney Woo…

we will introduce you
to a professional counselor

and Taesan will pay
for the counseling fees as well.

A professional counselor?

I'm talking about a counselor
who specializes

in autism spectrum disorder.

Right.

Attorney Woo.

Boston is a city
with a variety of active communities

for those with autism.

You won't be lonely living there.

But why are you
making a job offer like this?

I've never seen someone recruit a person
by staking out in front of their house.

Is Attorney Tae Su-mi

the one who made the offer?

Yes, that's right.

Not Taesan's HR team, but Attorney Tae?

My business card is in the envelope.

Think about it and contact me anytime.

Jun-ho,

do you have something to say to me too?

What?

Right.

Yes, I…

I'll tell you some other time.

You must have a lot to think about.

You should get some rest.

Okay.

I'm home.

Hey, you're here.

Young-woo.

Can you come sit here for a second?

We need to talk.

So…

A few days ago,

Seon-young came by.

"Seon-young"?

Your CEO, Han Seon-young.

Right.

What?

Anyway, it looks like…

she's planning on revealing everything
to the press

right before Tae Su-mi's
confirmation hearing.

That you're the child…

Tae Su-mi had out of wedlock.

If that happens,

the world's attention
will not only be on Tae Su-mi

but also on you, Young-woo.

Then reporters will come to you
every day and bother you.

So Seon-young suggested that

we go to some resort in the countryside
and stay hidden until things die down.

Paid leave, basically.

Did you get this from Tae Su-mi?

When?

I got it from a Taesan employee just now.

I guess Tae Su-mi's offer for us
to go to the States is still valid.

You already knew about this?

I would hate to comply with
Tae Su-mi's wishes.

But right now,

that seems like the better option.

Rather than continuing to work here

while being the target of gossip
and being labeled as Tae Su-mi's daughter,

leaving for the States seems better.

What do you think, Young-woo?

I'm not sure.

So far, my life has had

nothing to do with Attorney Tae Su-mi.

I don't understand why

I have to hide all of a sudden

and go to the States.

You're right.

I'm sorry, Young-woo.

I'm…

sorry…

for everything.

Your Honor,

despite the defendant
being a large e-commerce company

that needs to manage the personal data
of more than 40 million users,

they had not established
an appropriate security system.

Not only were they imposed with
a 30 million won administrative fine

for not putting a limitation
on the maximum connection time…

Your Honor.

But their response after the leak
was also appalling.

According to Article 34 of the
Personal Information Protection Act,

a personal information controller

must notify data subjects
of the personal data breach

as soon as they become aware of it.

However, despite being aware
of the hack on January 19, 2022,

the defendant reported it to the police
a week later on January 26th.

And they notified users of the hack

through the Raon website

on February 20th,
a month after the incident.

The defendant's complacent response

is what prevented a quick resolution
and handling of the incident.

That's right!

-What's wrong with you?
-Goodness.

-It should've been notified earlier!
-How could you do that?

Of course, you have to compensate!

How are you going to compensate?

You may be seated in the audience seats,

but aren't you all co-plaintiffs?

As the litigants, please do not interrupt
the proceedings of the trial.

Come in.

Someone who claims to be
your younger brother wants to see you.

My younger brother?

Yes.

He said you would know
if I said he was your younger brother.

And that he can't tell me his name.

Should I tell him you're busy?

No.

Please send him in.

Okay.

Who are you?

Choi Sang-hyeon.

Tae Su-mi's son.

Why did you come to see me?

I want to come clean about what I did,

but I don't know how.

I hacked into Raon.

Because Chan-hong asked me to.

What?

I met Chan-hong
at a cybersecurity competition.

He was a judge
the year I won the grand prize.

We became close and met up often
even after the competition.

He showed me around Raon too.

And he introduced me to In-cheol too.

Then one day, Chan-hong asked me

if I could hack into Raon
and steal the users' personal data.

Are you saying Mr. Kim Chan-hong asked you

to hack into Raon?

The company where he's the CEO?

Why?

Because I want In-cheol
to come to his senses.

In-cheol? Why?

He's lost sight of where we started.

Raon is a company
created by two developers.

The developer's spirit
is the basis of this business.

In-cheol has forgotten about all that
and is just a businessman now.

He's only interested in making money
by selling things.

He has no interest at all in investing
in software development or security.

We'll use this opportunity

to properly remind him
of that developer's spirit.

How?

What if you hack into Raon
and steal the personal data of the users?

Then I'll try convincing In-cheol.

"I told you. We're being attacked
because we're not investing in security."

Isn't it too risky?

If word gets out about the hack,
the police will investigate.

I looked into it a lot.

A personal data breach is fine.

All we have to do
is pay a fine of 100 million won

and upload an apology statement
on our website.

All the other companies did that too.

Jeez, it's nothing.

So…

that's why I did it.

I left some clues to make it look like
it was done by North Korea,

and then I stole
the personal data of Raon users.

What did you do with the personal data?

I gave it to Chan-hong
because he asked for it.

All encrypted.

But he kept asking me to decrypt it.

Why?

I don't know.

He kept talking nonsense
about how he wanted to check

if it was really Raon users' data,
so I just kept it encrypted.

Just in case he sells it off somewhere.

I see.

You carried out the hack
according to your plan.

But why do you want to confess
all of a sudden?

Because In-cheol…

attempted suicide.

I didn't know he would take it that hard.

I only did it because Chan-hong said
it would end with just a small fine.

I wasn't trying to
make In-cheol end up like that

and ruin Raon.

Shouldn't you go to the police to confess?

Why did you come to me?

I told my mom.

But she got mad
and told me not to do anything.

I went to the police too,
but they got on the phone with my mom

and then wouldn't even listen to me.

My mom is powerful.

People do whatever she tells them to do.

That's why I came here.

Because I thought…

my big sister wouldn't do as Mom says.

"Big sister"?

Our dads are different
but we have the same mom.

So you're my big sister.

How did you know

that I was your big sister?

I heard the rumor…

that my mom had a child
before she married my dad.

I thought it was just a false rumor.

But for a while, she was acting weird.

She would watch something in her room
and get startled when I walked in.

So I hacked into her phone and computer.

And I saw that she looked up
a lot of stuff about you.

I also saw her texts with Grandma
talking about you.

That's how I knew.

How do you want me to help you?

I took a video of myself

confessing to the hack.

What if you use this
as evidence during the trial?

Then wouldn't the police
start investigating?

My mom wouldn't be able to stop it.

Mr. Kim Chan-hong is my client.

Therefore,

I cannot reveal the fact
that Mr. Kim had you hack

into his own company.

Because it's against
my client's interests.

What kind of person…

do you think Mom is?

-Sorry?
-People think…

that those who are born rich
don't get punished.

Whether it's drugs,
drunk driving, or assault.

Whatever they do, they get away with it.

But my mom was different.

If I did something wrong, she scolded me.

But now that something big like this
has happened,

she's…

just the same.

She's acting like those foul rich people…

you see on the news.

When are you returning to Hanbada,
Attorney Jung?

I'm not sure.

I might not return.

What?

You might not return?

I'm just thinking about it.

Why do you ask?

Right.

It's inconvenient to have to come
to the hospital whenever I have questions.

You could always call.

-Right.
-Seriously.

I can never tell if you're worried
about me or just being selfish.

So what is it you want to…

You're going to say,

"I can't tell you the details
because of attorney-client privilege."

Right?

Yes.

That's true.

Then…

be vague about it.

I found out about a criminal act
that my client has committed.

The other person involved in the crime
wants to confess,

but if I help him confess,

it's against the interests of the client.

I see.

Will you reveal the truth
and achieve social justice

or stay loyal to the client's interests?

I understand.

It's a dilemma
that an attorney cannot avoid.

It's also something
you've always struggled with.

Remember the Ihwa ATM case
or the Mir Life case?

Yes.

I've worked at Hanbada for over 14 years

and have always put the interests
of the client ahead of social justice.

If someone calls me a "law technician"
and criticizes me,

there's not much I can say to refute that.

Because it's true.

But Attorney Woo is not Attorney Jung.

Right? You're a completely
different person from me.

So how could I give you advice?

I'm just

curious about what you decide to do.

Because you're…

not just any ordinary attorney.

My name is Choi Sang-hyeon.

I'm in my first year of high school.

I hacked into Raon starting
on the night of January 18, 2022,

up until the morning of the 19th,

and took 40,954,173 personal data records.

Because Raon's CEO, Kim Chan-hong,
asked me to do it.

I'd like to confess…

to this wrongdoing.

Tae Su-mi's son came to you

and asked you
to use this video as evidence?

Why Attorney Woo of all people?

Do you two know each other?

We…

do not know each other.

Ma'am, I'm sure you see it too,
but that video is not beneficial for us.

We don't even know if what he's saying
is true or not, and if it is true,

we're in big trouble.

Because Mr. Kim Chan-hong
will be sentenced to criminal charges.

A firm that sends its clients to jail?

We can't be that kind of firm.

That's right. Even now, Taesan claims

Raon is directly responsible
for the personal data breach.

If it's revealed that the CEO of Raon
was behind the hack all along,

they may claim even more damages.

But don't attorneys have the duty
to not cover up the truth about a case?

If it is beneficial to the public,

attorney-client privilege
doesn't have to be kept.

That's a very naive thing to say.

This isn't law school.

Law school or not,
I feel uncomfortable too.

If that video is true,

then the person who ordered a hack
on his own company

is shamelessly representing Raon.

Hiding the identity of the hacker
for the sake of the client's interests

doesn't sit right with me.

Because Taesan filed
a class-action lawsuit against Raon,

many companies who are disappointed
in Taesan have come to us.

At times like this, we have to make
a good impression on those companies.

We can't take the lead
in getting Raon's CEO punished.

That would be the case.

But…

I really like this video.

This video has power.

It can stop an unsuitable person
from becoming the Minister of Justice.

How can a mother of a son who stole
40 million personal data records

become the Minister of Justice?

Don't you agree?

I knew we could count on you.

You're always a few steps ahead.

So if that video is revealed,

the fact that Taesan
is representing Raon's customers

would also seem quite deceitful
to the public.

The problem is

the order in which
we should kill these two birds.

Protecting the client's interests
while revealing the truth of the case…

What if it's not two birds?

What?

What if protecting the client's interests
and revealing the truth about the case

aren't two birds but one?

What do you mean?

Kim Chan-hong is simply a man

who represents a corporation called Raon.

They are separate entities.

We're representing
the corporation of Raon,

not Kim Chan-hong.

If you think about it,

Raon's interests are not in conflict
with the truth here.

Really? How are the two…

Sang-hyeon gave the personal data he stole
to Mr. Kim,

but he encrypted the whole thing

so nobody could access
or use the personal data.

The damage due to the personal data breach

hasn't occurred yet!

Yes, Reporter Lee.

The article I told you about last time.

The one about the child
Tae Su-mi had out of wedlock?

Yes, that one.

Could you put that on hold?

Why?

Because I think I can give you
something much better.

Just a second.

Attorney Woo.

Don't go on that paid vacation.

What?

You heard from your father
about the vacation, right?

I'm telling you not to go.

Because there's something better
for you to do.

Yes, Reporter Lee.

Defendant's counselor,
you submitted video evidence?

And you requested a closed court.

Yes, Your Honor.

The witness in the video is a minor.

As the witness is confessing to a crime
related to this case,

we request the audience to vacate
the courtroom when we play the video

to protect the identity of the witness.

What…

What is it? Who confessed to what?

Well…

You'll find out soon enough.

All right.

If you are not involved in the incident,

please leave the courtroom for a moment.

And among the co-plaintiffs,

only the selected parties
may remain in the courtroom.

Excuse me.

My name is Choi Sang-hyeon.
I'm in my first year of high school.

I hacked into Raon starting
on the night of January 18, 2022,

up until the morning of the 19th,

and took 40,954,173 personal data records.

Because Raon's CEO, Kim Chan-hong,
asked me to do it.

I'd like to confess…

to this wrongdoing.

What's going on here?

You submit something like this
without a single word with me?

You're my attorneys!

We are not your attorneys.

We are Raon's attorneys.

I am Raon!

I am the CEO!

Not anymore.

The board of directors at Raon
just dismissed you, Mr. Kim Chan-hong.

What? What did you just say?

-He's the co-CEO!
-What are we supposed to do?

All right.

It might be better to cover this up.

If it becomes known that Mr. Kim ordered
an underage hacker to hack into Raon,

what would happen to the company's image?

We'd be lucky if it ends
with only our image being damaged.

This is a matter that shareholders
can claim damages for if they find out.

So we just let him be?

Even in the hacking lawsuit,

Kim Chan-hong is sitting there
at the trial as the CEO.

Does this make sense to you?
We should dismiss him immediately.

-We have to dismiss him.
-Yes, we must.

Wait!

What do you think about this, Mr. Bae?

-Should we cover it up or…
-Of course we shouldn't cover it up.

If we want to find out
if Chan-hong really did it,

we can't just cover it up.

If…

he did do it,

it won't end with just a dismissal.

I…

No.

Raon will take every legal action possible

and bring Kim Chan-hong

down.

EMERGENCY BOARD MEETING
DISMISSAL OF CEO KIM CHAN-HONG

RESOLUTION LETTER

Your Honor, once Kim Chan-hong's crime
against the defendant, Raon, was reported,

the defendant dismissed
Mr. Kim from his position as CEO

and made Mr. Bae the sole CEO per
the decision of its board of directors.

Therefore, the defendant

will be applying for the correction
of the party represented.

Your Honor!

This is unfair.

I don't know where they got that video,
but it's not true.

Where's the proof
that I ordered that kid to do it?

And they said
the board of directors dismissed me,

but I never received a notice
about a board meeting.

If the CEO deems it urgent

and it is in accordance
with the company's bylaws,

the defendant may notify
the directors by email

thirty minutes prior to the meeting

and gather the board of directors
that same day.

That is what happened today.

And they did notify Mr. Kim…

of the board meeting.

WE ARE HOLDING
AN EMERGENCY BOARD MEETING

DATE: TODAY, 2 P.M.
PLACE: RAON 21ST FLOOR, CONFERENCE ROOM

AGENDA: DISMISSAL OF CEO KIM CHAN-HONG

Your Honor, we cannot accept that video
as evidence.

It is not a credible statement recorded
through formal investigative authorities.

And we can't even ask
the witness in the video any questions.

It is evidence that restricts
the co-plaintiffs' right

to cross-examination.

Your Honor.

I'll address things one at a time.

First, despite the surprising spectacle
the defendant's counselor has put on,

the court cannot immediately recognize
the change of Raon's CEO.

However,

there is no reason to believe
that the delegation agreement

between the defendant
and Hanbada Law Firm is invalid,

so we will proceed on the premise
that Hanbada is the defendant's counselor.

The defendant should apply for
the correction of the party represented

with the proper paperwork,
such as the registry of the corporation.

Your Honor.

Second, your innocence is not something

that will be dealt with
in this trial, Mr. Kim.

That is something that should be revealed

through an investigation
conducted by investigative authorities.

Finally, as for the admissibility
of the video we just saw…

I will not accept it as evidence.

The plaintiff's counselor is correct.

It's hard to say that the testimony
has credibility through that video alone.

And since the witness is not here,

it's also reasonable to point out
that the plaintiffs cannot cross-examine.

Then please summon Mr. Choi Sang-hyeon
to this trial as a witness.

Overruled.

-Excuse me?
-We can't be sure from that video alone

if the additional examination
of the evidence on Choi Sang-hyeon

is absolutely necessary.

For all we know,
it could've been sent in as a joke.

If the defendant's counselor

confirms Choi Sang-hyeon's intention
to attend trial

and applies for a witness summons,

I will accept that.

But this court
will not be summoning him first.

Did Choi Sang-hyeon reply?

No.

It's an ad from a figurine company
called Manjijak

for their newly released
gray whale figurines.

Whale lice and barnacles are often found
attached to the body of a gray whale.

I wonder if they captured all of that.
I should hurry and pre-order…

That's Choi Sang-hyeon, right?
What did he say?

"Young-woo,
I don't think I'll be able to testify."

"You won't be able
to reach me now either."

"I'm going to the States,
so I'm at the airport right now."

He's going to the States all of a sudden?

It's obvious.

Tae Su-mi is sending him away

to stop him from testifying.

Let's go with a public opinion battle.

A public opinion battle?

Are you saying we should
leak the video of Sang-hyeon to the press?

No matter how great Tae Su-mi is,

if public opinion calls for it,
the police will have to investigate.

Then Sang-hyeon will be summoned
back to the country.

Tae Su-mi's confirmation hearing
will be starting soon.

If we want to leak it,
we have to do it now.

Because we'll have time
to build public opinion

while Tae Su-mi can't do anything
to retaliate.

I'll talk to a reporter at Jeongui Ilbo.
You all--

No!

You can't do that.

I can't?

Attorney Woo, be quiet.
How dare you talk to the CEO like--

If you hand the confession video
over to the press,

Sang-hyeon will forever lose
the chance to turn himself in.

Sang-hyeon came to me

to reveal his wrongdoings on his own
and to make things right.

We can't turn him into

some privileged kid who was caught
by the police trying to flee the country.

Like the foul rich people
you see on the news.

Are we Sang-hyeon's attorneys?

Get yourself together!

Do you think he's your real brother
just because he calls you "big sister"?

I…

will try to convince them.

Convince who?

Choi Sang-hyeon?

No.

Attorney Tae Su-mi.

How are you going to convince Tae Su-mi?

Will she even meet with you
when her confirmation hearing is so close?

She might not meet me,

but I'll try!

I'll meet with Attorney Tae
and ask her to allow Sang-hyeon

to testify in court.

And I'd like to ask you to sit down.

All right.

We'll give Tae Su-mi and her son…

a chance.

Sorry?

I'll go with Attorney Woo
to the National Assembly.

So she can meet with Attorney Tae.

We know she's busy
because it's right before the hearing.

But it's that urgent.

Please just tell her
it's Attorney Woo Young-woo.

Then Attorney Tae
will want to see her too.

I'll see if I can find the right time
to tell her.

But Candidate Tae is very busy,
so please understand.

You can't wait for the right time.

Hello?

Hello? Mr. Kim?

The confirmation hearing starts at ten.

Even if Attorney Tae says she'll meet me,

I don't know if we'll be able
to get there in time.

It'll work out. Don't worry.

Thank you

for helping.

Earlier, when you bravely said

you would convince Attorney Tae Su-mi

in front of Ms. Han,

I made up my mind

to be brave

and say this.

What is it you want to say?

My feelings toward you, Attorney Woo,

are like the unrequited love toward a cat.

"The unrequited love toward a cat"?

Cats sometimes

make their owners lonely.

But they make them just as happy too.

When I eat lunch with you

and listen to you talk about whales.

When we carry out each agenda

from your strange list of dates.

When I

hold hands with you
for less than 57 seconds.

When our teeth knock together

as we kiss.

When I see the sparkle in your eyes

when you come up with a good idea.

When I can calm you down
by hugging you tight

when you're feeling anxious.

Those things make me happy.

So let's…

not break up.

Hello?

Come to Gate Five. I'll see you there.

Okay.

Attorney Woo, I think you can go now.

Only official government vehicles
are allowed to park in there,

so I'll be waiting nearby.

Okay.

The expression,
"the unrequited love toward a cat,"

is inappropriate.

Because cats love their owners too.

Right.

Okay.

So let's…

not break up.

I put together new responses

for Assemblywoman Min Hyo-jin's
list of questions.

Would you like to take a look
at the revisions?

Have these been fact-checked?

Yes, it matches the material
that has already been submitted.

CANDIDATE FOR MINISTER OF JUSTICE
WAITING ROOM

May we have the room please?

Madam Candidate,
the hearing is about to start.

You don't have much time.

Yes, I know.

What brings you here?

I don't think

you're here to tell me
you'll go to the States.

No.

I won't be going to the States.

Why not?

Isn't it hard for you at Hanbada?

The mentor who was good to you is ill,
the senior attorney bullies you,

and you and your co-worker broke up.

I'm…

like a narwhal in a pod of belugas.

A narwhal?

It has a helical tusk that projects
from its upper jaw.

That's why its scientific name means
"one-tooth one-horn."

It looks like a horn
on a unicorn's forehead.

What are you talking about?

I've seen a lost narwhal

coexisting with a pod of belugas

in a documentary.

I'm…

like that narwhal.

I live in an unfamiliar ocean
with unfamiliar belugas.

Because everyone's different from me,

it's not easy to adjust

and there are lots of whales
that hate me too.

But it's okay.

Because this is my life.

Though my life…

is unusual and peculiar,

it's valuable

and beautiful.

I have to go.

We'll continue this talk next time.

Please help so that Sang-hyeon
can testify in court about what he did.

What he did?

Hacking into Raon and leaking
40,954,173 personal data records.

Sang-hyeon…

believes that you're a good mom.

A mom

who scolds her child properly
and gives him reasonable punishment

when he does something wrong.

Don't betray…

your child's belief

that his mother is a good person

just for your own benefit.

He'll be hurt if you do that.

That wound…

will be very painful

and won't heal for a long time.

You weren't a good mother to me,

but at the very least,

please be a good mother to Sang-hyeon.

It's time to get going, ma'am.

We will now begin
the confirmation hearing for Tae Su-mi,

the Candidate Member of the State Council
for the Minister of Justice.

Candidate, please step up to the podium,

raise your right hand,
and recite the oath.

I pledge this.

"I, the Public Official Candidate,

swear to tell the truth

in the confirmation hearing
conducted by the National Assembly

according to my conscience,
without withholding or adding anything."

Public Official Candidate, Tae Su-mi.

Welcome.

Would you like something to drink?

No, thank you.

We'll just inform you of the conditions
for the witness questioning

and be on our way.

Then please go ahead.

CONDITIONS FOR WITNESS QUESTIONING

First, Choi Sang-hyeon is a young student.

Testifying in court
could be uncomfortable for him,

so refrain from creating
a hostile environment

or asking questions
that play on his emotions.

And most importantly,

you cannot question him
like you're interrogating a criminal.

Of course.

We have at least that much decorum.

Second.

Any questions related to
Attorney Tae Su-mi are not allowed.

Even if Sang-hyeon brings it up first,

Hanbada attorneys cannot ask
follow-up questions about Attorney Tae.

Third, Sang-hyeon will be questioned

by Attorney Woo Young-woo.

-What?
-If you do not follow

any one of these three conditions,

Choi Sang-hyeon will not testify.

Are you Choi Sang-hyeon's attorneys?

Are you?

What gives you the right

to appoint the attorney
that will question the witness?

All right then.

What? Ma'am.

Choi Sang-hyeon's questioning

will be handled…

by Attorney Woo.

We'll keep to all three conditions,
so don't worry.

Witness, step forward.

"I solemnly swear
that I will tell the truth,

the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,

and agree to receive punishment
in accordance with perjury

should there be any falsehood."

Defendant's counselor,
begin questioning the witness.

Woo Young-woo, you got this.

"Woo Young-woo, you got this."

You got…

What are you doing?

Witness, please introduce yourself.

Choi Sang-hyeon.

I'm 17 years old.

I'm in my first year of high school.

Starting the night of January 18, 2022,

into the morning of the 19th,

did you hack into Raon and take
40,954,173 personal data records?

Yes.

Why did you do it?

Because Chan-hong

asked me to do it.

By "Chan-hong,"

do you mean the co-founder
and former co-CEO of Raon,

Mr. Kim Chan-hong?

Yes.

I met Chan-hong

at a cybersecurity competition.

He was someone who always treated me well.

But one day, he asked me for a favor.

He said that if I hack into Raon
and startle In-cheol,

then In-cheol would

spend a lot more money

on software development
and building a security system.

What did you do with
the 40,954,173 personal data records

obtained through the hack?

I encrypted everything
and gave it to Chan-hong.

He asked me to decrypt it, but I didn't.

So that he wouldn't be able to sell it.

Is there any possibility
that he could have decrypted it himself?

No.

As far as I know,
he doesn't have the skills

to do that.

You will be subject to legal punishment

because you hacked and stole
the personal data of Raon users.

Are you aware of this?

Yes.

I am aware.

Then why are you

willingly testifying to your crimes?

Because I did a bad thing.

I'm sorry to In-cheol…

and to Raon users.

I apologize.

That is all.

COURT

Shortly after the confirmation hearing,

I realized that my son
had hacked into Raon

and leaked the personal data
of Raon's customers.

I was ashamed.

I didn't even know I raised my child wrong

and wanted to be the Minister of Justice,
working for the country and the people.

And without knowing
that it was my son's doing,

I watched Taesan,
the law firm I am affiliated with,

file a lawsuit
on behalf of the users of Raon.

My son is deeply remorseful of his crimes.

He will also sincerely oblige
to all investigations by the police

and receive proper punishment.

Today…

I am stepping down from my candidacy
for the Minister of Justice.

I will deeply reflect on myself.

And although my son is not perfect,

I will faithfully
carry out my role as a mother,

which I haven't been able to do properly.

I sincerely apologize

to everyone.

I let you off easy this time.

Mr. Kim Chan-hong, the former CEO of Raon,
admitted during a police investigation

to ordering the son of former
Minister of Justice candidate, Tae Su-mi,

to hack into Raon.

The police found and confiscated
40,954,173 records

of encrypted personal data
at Mr. Kim Chan-hong's residence

and revealed that there is
no circumstantial evidence

that suggests that he leaked them
to a third party.

Meanwhile, the lawsuit for damages
filed by Raon users against Raon

was dismissed by the Civil Court

of the Seoul Central District Court
upon the decision

that there was no emotional distress
caused by the personal data breach

since the data was confiscated
by investigative authorities.

The lawsuit was dismissed?

That means you won, right?

Yes.

If we had lost, we would have had to pay
three trillion won in compensation,

but we won, thanks to our attorneys.

Cheers!

Cheers to saving three trillion won!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Gosh, welcome!

Attorney Jung!

I made a lot of abalone porridge
because I heard you were coming.

Goodness, thank you.

You're welcome.

Ms. Dong Geu-ran.

Yes.

Sit over here.

Okay.

Eat up.

Thank you.

Thank you for the food.

Enjoy.

I heard about the Raon trial.

It was a big win.

It feels like only yesterday
that these three were clumsy rookies.

My heart is so…

You've all grown a lot.

Thank you.

It's all thanks to you.

Are you returning to Hanbada,
Attorney Jung?

Yes. Yes?

Yes? No.

I don't know.

What?

What?

Never mind. I'm still thinking about it.

Do the three of you

-like working at Hanbada?
-Sorry?

Well…

Why would you ask them that?

Of course, they'll say they like it
since I'm here.

Would they say no to my face?

Well…

I like it.

Even if I weren't
in front of Attorney Jung,

I would say I like it.

Right.

Okay.

That's a relief.

Cheers because that's a relief!

-That's a relief!
-Cheers!

Gosh, that's such a relief.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

-It's good, right?
-Yes, it's so good.

-It's really good, right?
-The best.

So who's paying
for all this good food today?

Well…

-Jung Myeong-seok!
-Jung Myeong-seok!

-Jung Myeong-seok!
-Jung Myeong-seok!

Thank you!

Thank you!

WOO YOUNG-WOO GIMBAP

One Woo Young-woo gimbap, please.

Okay.

I have it ready.

I think a new emotion needs to be added
to the human emotions poster.

A new emotion?

Which one?

I'm not exactly sure what
the emotion I'm feeling this morning is.

It's not satisfaction

or enjoyment.

Or joy either.

Then what is it?

Starting today,

I'm Hanbada Law Firm's full-time attorney,
Woo Young-woo.

Whether it's read straight or flipped,
it's still Woo Young-woo.

Kayak, deed, rotator,
noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo.

Full-time?

You got your contract renewed?

Yes.

Gosh, that's great.

But why didn't you tell me sooner?

I'm telling you right now.

Right, okay.

My Young-woo.

I'm so proud of you.

But what you're feeling right now
isn't joy?

I'm so overjoyed right now.

Well, I am happy.

But I don't think that's all of it.

Then are you proud?

I don't think that's it.

-Do you feel praiseworthy?
-No.

-Commendable?
-No.

Should I feel that I could die right now
with no regrets

because my daughter is
a respectable, full-time attorney?

We're getting further away
from the answer I'm looking for.

This is great.

See you later.

All right.

My daughter's all grown up.

One, two, three.

One, two, three. One, two…

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two…

Attorney Woo!

A sense of fulfillment!

What?

The emotion I'm feeling this morning is

a sense of fulfillment!

SPECIAL THANKS TO CHOI DAE-HOON,
