(No. 1, Noh Se Hoon)

(I Am A Running Mate)

- Let's have coffee first. - I heard something earlier.

That you were there.

At Kwak Sang Hyeon's birthday drinking party.

Oh, that?

I didn't drink that day.

So...

you did go there, right?

And there was a drinking party too.

Yes.

Why did you go to the party?

What are you? Tell me.

Won Dae. There seems to be a misunderstanding.

Give me your phone.

What?

Ha Yu Gyeong. Are you a spy?

No, I'm not.

Then give me your phone.

- Won Dae... - Stop with that expression.

I'm about to lose it right now.

- Won Dae! - I'm only going to check.

Unlock it.

Ha Yu Gyeong.

Yes?

Lift your head up.

Ji Hun. We're done here. Come over here.

Yu Gyeong. I won't say another word about your private life.

But get it together during the election.

I will.

We're all good, right?

I'm sorry.

I had no choice after what I heard.

Don't take it too personally, okay?

I'm not a spy.

All of us just get along really well.

I get it, okay? Just focus on the election from now on.

If anyone at school asks,

just say you got there late...

and didn't know anything.

Not even about the drinking. Got it?

Yes.

From now on,

you have my full trust.

Okay?

Yes.

I'm sorry, Yu Gyeong. And I mean it.

You too, Ji Hun.

Don't worry too much.

Okay.

All right. Let's work hard again starting tomorrow...

and give it our all.

- Okay. - Okay.

(I Am A Running Mate)

(Episode 6: A Starry Night)

- Hey. - What?

This is a screenshot from that jerk's drinking party video.

- Have a look. - Drinking party? With whom?

Look.

Look at the place. Where is this?

It's Kwak Sang Hyeon's house.

Didn't he say he lives in an apartment?

As you can tell, the place has been remodelled.

Several apartments have been knocked through.

It's totally illegal. Darn it.

Hey, this guy is the first-year onion head.

He's drunk and fighting.

I'm telling you,

that hit-and-run story? It's a total lie.

He must've gotten hurt in some drunken fight.

That darn onion head.

There was the sexual harassment thing earlier.

Those scumbags.

As they say, birds of a feather.

- Son of a gun. - These little...

- Let's go. - Wait for me.

They had a photo of the birthday party.

He must've come that day, right?

Not him.

No?

But I clearly...

It was his older brother.

There was one college student. Do you remember?

I want to transfer schools.

Let me vote for you too!

Come on. You should care more about your GPA, college guy.

Yes, I remember. Then it's his younger brother?

For an adult to take secret videos of teens.

That scumbag.

What will you do about that college guy?

What do you mean?

What would I do?

Well...

I thought you would take action.

"Take action?"

Seriously?

- Listen, Noh Se. - Yes?

I think you've got something seriously mixed up.

This might sound laughable coming from me.

But no matter how bad the situation is,

you can't go around acting like a jerk.

Or else, you can screw yourself over.

Get it?

Keep making the same mistakes and...

What was that again?

You get the point, right?

Gosh. Come on.

Let's grab a bite. I'm hungry.

Jae Won. I'm screwed.

(Noh Se)

Hey, Noh Se.

Choi Jong Su! Where are you...

What?

Darn it. My phone is dead.

Hey, Nam Gyeong Tae. Where are you?

Darn it.

What did he say?

- To get lost. - Does he have a death wish?

- Hang on tight. - Okay.

He's here.

Here, Jae Won.

Nam Gyeong Tae!

Nam Gyeong Tae!

- What the... - Stop!

I kept shouting your name.

What do you want?

I have nothing to say to you.

Forget about that.

I had something to ask you,

but forgot.

That coward.

He could've told me sooner.

Let's talk tomorrow, okay? Go in.

Crazy jerk.

You must be joking.

What?

What the heck?

Darn it.

Are you okay?

Yes.

But this person... Wait. Are you okay?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

What was that?

Did you know about it?

No way.

Is it because the building is old?

Don't say that my house is old or whatnot. It's annoying.

You're right. Sorry.

Go home.

Something is off about you.

You even called me.

By the way, what's that? That big bag.

Mind your own business.

- Go home. - Okay.

Mom!

Hey.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Noh Se. Clean it up. Hurry.

- Let's clean it. - Hey, get that trash.

- Get the trash. Come on. - Okay.

You jerk!

I told you...

- we shouldn't do it, scumbag. - Okay.

- I get it. - Punk.

I've come to my senses.

Hurry.

Seriously, you're a jerk.

That was dangerous.

- One, two. - One, two.

- Let's go, Candidate Two! - Let's go, Candidate Two!

Great work.

- Be careful. You'll fall. - I'll be fine.

- Don't do it. - Stop.

- Two, three. - Two, three.

One more time.

- Two, three, four, five, six. - Two, three, four, five, six.

- Candidate Two, Yang Won Dae. - Candidate Two, Yang Won Dae.

- Stay on beat. - Don't hit me.

- Yang Won Dae brings change. - Not bad.

- Mind your own business. - Mind your own business.

- Mind your own business. - Go away.

Candidate One,

- let's do this! - let's do this!

- Like this. - Like this? Okay.

- Let's double-check. - Okay.

- Good luck! - Cheer up!

Hey. I saw Nam Gyeong Tae and Oh Dae Hee...

arguing in front of the stationery store yesterday.

Because of that conscience declaration.

Is that so?

Is there going to be a fistfight soon?

A fistfight, my foot.

They shook hands in the end.

Those boring punks.

And you were just watching them?

You must have a lot of free time.

Seriously? Then what were you doing last night, Chief of Security?

You were nowhere to be seen.

Last night...

I was just around.

- "Just around?" - Yes.

- Hi. - Hi.

Are you working hard?

- Yes, we are. - Take this.

- One, two, three, four. - One, two, three, four.

What are you smiling at?

I'm not smiling.

Do you have a death wish, punk?

Keep it up.

- We will, Jae Won. - I'm off.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Hey! - What the... Do your job properly.

- Do your job, will you? - You little...

- What's wrong with you? - He actually wore...

that thing inside the school?

What a psycho.

Who cares?

It's super cool.

For real? Stop being ridiculous.

How is that cool?

- You have us, Jeong Hui! - You have us, Jeong Hui!

(Live Support Ratings: Kwak Sang Hyeon versus Yang Won Dae)

You're on a whole different level. You know that, right?

- Yes. - Good luck, Yoon Jeong Hui!

Relax, okay?

(Candidate 2, Yang Won Dae)

(Ha Yu Gyeong)

Ha Yu Gyeong!

We, students, are always exhausted.

On days we must come to school early.

When we're not feeling our best.

For our students' tired bodies,

we will introduce a student-only electric bicycle rental system.

Dear voters.

Stop falling for flashy, one-time pledges.

Pledges like electric bicycles and smartwatches...

will last only for a year and then disappear.

Sustainability.

Candidate Two...

makes only pledges that can be kept.

That's it.

- Ha Yu Gyeong! - Nice!

Really?

"Sustainability."

We're not debating...

about environment or energy policy,

so why even bring up that term?

You're the one who should stop fooling voters...

with cheap, populist pledges.

- Populism? - What's populism?

Opening a franchise coffee shop at the school,

building a gym when there are not even enough club rooms,

and offering unnecessary free special lectures...

by outside instructors.

Aren't those what you call populism?

Reviving League of Legends tournaments...

and school trips?

Turning the whole school...

(Again with Yang Won Dae!)

into a playground.

Now that's populism.

High school memories?

Sounds great.

We get it, okay?

But it'll ruin the academic atmosphere.

And next, we'll be holding hands, signing up for cram school...

after graduation together.

Is that what you want?

Candidate Yoon Jeong Hui.

What a great relief. And I'm grateful.

Grateful that a student like you...

isn't the Minister of Education of South Korea.

- Well said. - Thank you very much.

Are you...

being sarcastic?

Stirring up mockery like this...

in front of an audience...

is also a form of populism, you know?

It's exactly populism.

Populism.

- You know the spelling, right? - What?

What?

- I know that too! - She doesn't know.

- It's... - What is it?

F...

- P. - She said "F."

Did you think it was "fopulism?"

Darn it.

(Live Support Ratings: Kwak Sang Hyeon versus Yang Won Dae)

That wench.

(Live Support Ratings: Kwak Sang Hyeon versus Yang Won Dae)

- Candidate 1, Sang Hyeon! - Candidate 1, Sang Hyeon!

- She was no big deal. - Yes.

- Our dear friend! - Our dear friend!

Nice, Yoon Jeong Hui.

I thought you two were going to fight.

She can't even compare to me.

- Our dear friend! - Our dear friend! Say what?

- Candidate 1, Sang Hyeon! - Candidate 1, Sang Hyeon!

(Candidate 2, Yang Won Dae)

- Get ready. - It's okay!

- It's okay! - Stay strong.

- Ha Yu Gyeong! - Candidate 1, Sang Hyeon!

Hi, everyone. This is YJBS.

I'm currently at Youngjin High School's...

student council election campaign site.

Right before me is Student Council President Candidate One,

Kwak Sang Hyeon. Let's have a quick interview.

Hi, Candidate Kwak Sang Hyeon.

Please tell us the advantages there would be...

if Candidate One became the student council president.

Above everything else, students are...

Hi, there. You met Candidate One just now.

Don't you want to meet Candidate Two?

- How about we go meet him now? - Hey!

Come this way. Come on.

Candidate Two, Yang Won Dae. I wonder where he is.

There he is! Here's Candidate Yang Won Dae.

- Candidate Two! - Now then,

let's hear from Candidate Two, Yang Won Dae.

What are your key campaign pledges?

We will bring back the National Sports Festival...

and school trips for all students.

- Candidate 2! Let's do this! - Candidate 2!

All right. Reviving the school trip.

That was Candidate Two's main pledge.

The candidate involved in the drinking party...

should step down voluntarily!

- What the heck? - A high school student...

should not host any drinking party!

- What's going on? - What?

The candidate involved in the drinking party...

- should step down voluntarily! - Who is he talking about?

- Let's go and get ready. - Hey!

- Get down! - Election Commission!

(The drinking party candidate)

Nam Gyeong Tae!

(The whole student condemns. Step down, Kwak Sang Hyeon!)

- Nam Gyeong Tae, that little... - Here's the ugly truth...

- Stay still. Ignore him. - behind...

- Candidate One Kwak Sang Hyeon! - Shut it!

- Won Dae, he's... - We...

- Stay still. - know everything!

The candidate involved in the drinking party,

- Kwak Sang Hyeon, and the rest, - It's dangerous!

Should step down voluntarily!

A high school student hosting a drinking party?

Step down voluntarily!

Corrupt Kwak Sang Hyeon should...

Nam Gyeong Tae! What do you think you're doing?

- Enough! - step down voluntarily!

Stop it!

- The drinking party candidate... - Come here.

- should step down voluntarily! - Come.

- Catch him! - The drinking party candidate...

- Hey! - Come on!

- What are you doing? - The drinking party candidate...

should step down...

- The drinking party candidate... - Stop it!

- should step down voluntarily! - Unbelievable.

- Seriously. - It's dangerous.

- Step down, Noh Se Hoon! - Don't lose him.

- The drinking party candidate... - What is wrong with him?

- He's getting kicked out. - Noh Se!

- Wake up, will you? - Stop it.

That punk.

What was he thinking?

- What is it? - Is it a group message?

Who sent it?

- What? - For real?

- The candidate... - What?

- A drinking party scandal? - Drinking party?

- This is wrong. - Did he drink?

A high schooler holding a drinking party?

Gosh, and it was on his birthday.

You have to be kidding me!

- Step down! - Is this for real?

Sang Hyeon. Why didn't you invite us?

This is so wrong.

Set down!

Hey, Noh Se Hoon!

(Shocking: Camp One's ugly drinking party scandal)

Allegations have surfaced that Student President Candidate...

Kwak Sang Hyeon, Vice President Noh Se Hoon,

Yoon Jeong Hui, and other members...

of Camp One held a secret drinking party...

at an undisclosed place.

Youngjin High's students...

need to make a firm decision...

for the future of our school.

(Live Support Ratings: Kwak Sang Hyeon versus Yang Won Dae)

Today was the fourth election rally.

In an intense showdown...

between the female candidates,

Yoon Jeong Hui beat Ha Yu Gyeong...

by a margin with a strong speech.

However, allegations of a drinking party involving...

candidate Kwak Sang Hyeon surfaced, throwing voters into confusion.

(Who is the election for? Candidates make their final push.)

With the election just one day away,

YJBS will be with the voters.

Have you all lost it?

How can you do this when you're running for election?

In Gyeong. It doesn't seem like they have evidence.

Can't we just ignore it?

Evidence?

This is the evidence.

The allegation alone is the evidence.

Things will spiral out of control now.

- Guys. - We don't believe in fake news.

Hey!

Didn't we tell you to wait?

- And can't you read the mood? - Seriously.

Stay strong

- Stay strong - Stay strong

We're screwed.

Kwak Sang Hyeon.

What are you going to do?

Hey.

How boring.

It's not like...

I killed or scammed someone.

- What? - Look.

Kids can have a drink or two...

and smoke a cigarette, no?

Is that such a huge deal?

Either way, they don't have evidence.

Stop overreacting, will you?

Watch your tone.

You're really crossing the line.

I'm the one taking responsibility.

Forget it all. Just ignore it.

Tell everyone that message is a load of bull. Got it?

Didn't we take all the phones that day, Wan Sik?

And you.

Yes?

Stop reacting in front of the others.

Understood.

Get on with it.

Or are you going to sit around and do nothing?

Watch your face, will you?

Guys. Let's go.

And keep a straight face.

Let's go.

In the last election,

do you know why you lost?

What was that?

Kids...

don't vote for the predictable.

They vote for winners.

What are you on about?

I'm going to win.

If you're going to do it, do it properly.

And stop with the nagging.

- Hi, we're Candidate 1. - Hi, we're Candidate 1.

Hey, drinking party!

- Did you not step down yet? - Are you okay?

I heard it was at KwakKwaki's summer house on Jeju Island.

Did you drink...

- Step down! - all the way on Jeju Island?

Someone like us can't even afford to go to the movies with a friend.

But to fly to Jeju Island during the semester?

Man, the sense of deprivation is real.

Don't talk like that when you don't know a thing.

Rumour has it you drank and played the King's Game...

at the Jeju Island summer house.

Have Kwak Sang Hyeon come here too.

Why did he only send you guys?

- Sang Hyeon is visiting... - You tell us.

Did you play King's Game after drinking or not?

I've never been to Jeju Island in my life.

So the question about playing King's Game there...

- and such is invalid. - He's right.

Invalid, my foot!

Then show us your passport. Show it to us!

- Your pass... - Stop spouting nonsense already!

Honestly,

I did have a sip of makgeolli during Chuseok. But that was it.

Have you never done that?

Not even once?

So it was on Chuseok.

- We finally get the picture. - I know, right?

They went to Jeju Island on Chuseok,

had makgeolli, and played the King's Game.

- Right? - She's rotten to the core!

How can she be the vice president? Right, guys?

- Yes. - You.

You don't even care about school issues, do you?

You just want to get into a good university, no?

Just step down, Yoon Jeong Hui.

Step down!

"Step down?"

If you're right,

I'll take responsibility and quit school.

Happy now?

She'll quit school.

- Maybe it's false. - She's overreacting.

- Is it not true? - Why are you overreacting?

Whatever if it's not true.

And you.

Who needs...

a passport to go to Jeju Island?

- Burn! - I'll be back with a passport.

Let's go.

You think I made Gyeong Tae do it?

Jun.

Isn't it best to focus on your job?

That's true.

But taking it this way is a bit...

And the vibe at school is off.

It's okay. This is natural.

Our school elections have always been intense.

I'm not too sure if this is right.

Of course, this is right.

And the others deserve to know too.

It's like...

their right to know.

"Right to know?"

Yes.

A candidate holding a drinking party at home.

It's not normal, is it?

It's okay. Don't doubt it.

Don't doubt a thing. Okay, Jun?

Just so you know,

I didn't say anything.

About what?

That night. What you told me at the drinking party.

You... Why are you bringing that up out of the blue?

I'm just telling you not to worry about our conversation.

Are you blackmailing me right now?

It's boring.

What is?

The election. It's boring.

If I could go back to the beginning.

Back to when Ha Yu Gyeong asked me...

to run the election with her.

Gosh, I'd turn her down flat.

No way I'd do it.

Why did you say yes back then?

I thought it'd be fun.

You're a psycho.

Once it's over, let's grab fried chicken together.

Sure, whatever.

- Hey. See you tomorrow. - Bye.

Was it all planned out?

It'd be so wrong if it were.

Guys.

Mr. Sin says there's no afternoon homeroom.

Nice!

- Fake news. - Yes!

Fake news. Go home.

We're going home first.

- Wait for me. - I'll get in touch.

- I'm off. - Okay.

- Bye. - See you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow. - Gosh.

I'm leaving.

(Candidate 2, Yang Won Dae)

Really. Nam Gyeong Tae is a real wacko.

Why is he risking his life in the election?

I have no idea.

He should do it in moderation.

Are you guys okay?

It'll be over by tomorrow.

I'm going home first.

Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hey. Be honest with us.

We won't tell a soul.

I never went to Jeju Island.

But still,

Jeju Island or not, was there actually a drinking party?

I'm just curious.

Enough, will you?

What you're doing will only spread the fake news.

Zip it.

Noh Se!

Camp Two is totally screwed.

What is it this time? A sex party?

Are you mad?

The anonymous community board has gone wild.

Why?

Park Ji Hun fabricated report cards and sold them to others,

including guys from other schools.

That was posted on our school community board?

"The nasty true colours of Candidate Two."

- "Park Ji Hun." - "Fabricated report cards."

"A whistleblower."

"Testimony?"

Is it true that Park Ji Hun fabricated the report cards?

I bet it's true.

What?

Wait. Isn't that Se Hoon?

Yes. Why is he here?

What's with him?

(Park Ji Hun)

(Park Ji Hun)

(All Posts)

(Breaking:)

(Park Ji Hun from Grade 1 Class 4 Fabricated Report Cards, )

(Attached Testimony from Whistleblower)

He sold it for money or gift cards.

He charged five dollars for every subject...

and even had the whole thing saved as a Word file.

If you ask to change 10 subjects, it'll be 50 dollars, right?

Probably.

But can it be modified so easily?

Honestly, I don't know much about it.

He must have his own method.

But what were the students who bought those report cards...

planning to do with them?

Most of them were to fool their parents.

Although they'd get busted later on.

I see.

Gosh, so it's not anything serious.

Anyway, got it.

By the way, In Gyeong.

Was this conversation necessary?

I was just curious.

Right.

But don't tell me you bought report cards...

from him or something.

Gosh, no. I would never.

Right? There's no way you'd do that.

But what if word gets out about this?

(Live Support Ratings: Kwak Sang Hyeon versus Yang Won Dae)

Won't he get expelled?

(Live Support Ratings: Kwak Sang Hyeon versus Yang Won Dae)

That'll be his problem.

He didn't seem all that normal from the start.

I'll look into it tomorrow and report it to you.

Sang Hyeon!

What brought you here? I told you to get some rest today.

Why didn't you answer my calls? I kept calling you nonstop.

My phone was on mute. What's wrong?

My chat with In Gyeong about Ji Hun is...

on the school's anonymous board.

Really?

What was it about again?

Don't play innocent!

You know everything, don't you? Aren't you behind this?

Se Hoon.

You're crossing the line.

I had no idea a video was being taken back then.

And everything I said was pieced together...

to sound completely messed up, darn it!

Shut it, will you?

Lower your voice.

We've been in crisis all morning because of Nam Gyeong Tae.

If we go down right now?

Everything they said would become true.

Do you get it?

So you dug into Ji Hun all along for this, right?

- By using me? - Listen carefully.

It was already set in stone from the moment Park Ji Hun became...

Candidate Two for vice president.

You know how it feels...

from being forced into a conscience declaration.

And Ji Hun?

The same goes for him.

If he wanted to stay friends with you,

he shouldn't have run in the first place.

That video?

I heard it too.

But your voice was altered.

How would anyone know it was you?

Just ignore it.

Ignore it, okay?

Se Hoon.

The election is just a day away.

You should solely focus on...

how we can win.

We must win no matter what.

Only then will what we say become the truth.

Once we win,

I promise to settle the matter with Ji Hun.

You trust me, right?

(Chicken Ji Hun)

(Where are you, Chicken Ji Hun?)

(Answer my calls.)

Hey.

What? Won Dae.

Why are you here?

To meet Ji Hun?

Yes.

How is Ji Hun doing?

Noh Se Hoon.

Yes?

You really are a lost cause.

Sorry?

It's your voice on the school community board, right?

Did you think the modulation could fool us?

No. It's not me.

Stop lying.

Honestly, I've been keeping my cool.

Even when you stabbed me in the back.

But now, you're even betraying your friend?

- It wasn't me, okay? - Seriously, you jerk?

Darn it.

To be frank, I met...

with other candidates before you in this selection.

And I thought you were a decent guy.

Knowing how close you and Ji Hun were...

gave me a headache.

But...

Do you know what Ji Hun said?

He said Noh Se would understand.

Why?

Because you're dead kind.

He said you were dead kind.

Isn't it hilarious even for you?

This is where guys like you end.

I don't know whose account it is,

but it was posted a few minutes ago.

They look like screenshots from a video...

rather than photos.

This darn jerk.

My guess is they intentionally recorded it in secret.

- How annoying. - Kang Jae Won.

What were you doing with Wan Sik?

Couldn't you have monitored the phones better?

Who knew they'd do that?

And they were invitees.

You don't know whose account it is?

No. I think the account was made just for this.

These are the only posts.

Darn it.

There are no followers, right?

Aren't we okay then?

Hey.

Leaving his name in the hashtag...

is the problem here.

Are you kidding me?

It's a matter of time before this spreads.

We need to find the account owner and delete everything fast.

You know that, don't you?

Aren't there pros who track down stuff like this?

The guy who hacked Mi Na's Instagram account...

was caught pretty fast.

I remember.

Okay. I'll ask around.

Hey, give me a cigarette.

I finished it earlier.

I'll go buy one.

Darn it. Hyeon Jin.

Listen.

If Yang Won Dae's camp gets their hands on this, we're done for.
