Why would you leave out the employment irregularity issue?

That's the core of Sulsong's corruption.

- Soo Jeong, that's... - I'll testify.

(Must find witness)

(Witness found)

(Witness found)

I'm the witness and evidence that will reveal...

this rotten school's true color.

Hey, Soo Jeong.

You need a witness.

Did you forget?

I'm the corrupted employee.

You were scammed.

You know what you're talking about, don't you?

I do.

And I'm prepared.

We need to talk.

Don't do it, Soo Jeong. Stay out of this.

I'll do it. You need a witness.

I'll find a witness if we need one.

If we can't find one, we'll fill it with other evidence.

What evidence? Is there a better one than me?

Soo Jeong.

The moment you get involved,

your time as a teacher is over.

Don't you really get it?

I always had a debt of gratitude.

I felt ashamed whenever I saw the students.

I handed him money to get a permanent teaching position.

I knew it was wrong, but I turned a blind eye.

I don't deserve to be a teacher.

Students follow the path that's been made by the previous wayfarers.

That's what Mr. Park said.

I want my path to be something...

that the students aren't ashamed of.

Though I can't be a great teacher,

I want to be a good guide.

So let me be the witness.

It was your dream...

to become a teacher.

You found me that dream anyway.

Find me a different dream.

We found a photo...

of the answer sheet in Chae Min's mom's phone.

That's a clear test paper leak.

(Evidence of test paper leak found)

Donations were the price for it.

Donations were made regularly during exam periods.

That means it's been a regular practice.

How could they...

So many irregularities have been committed.

They pretty much did anything for money.

Chae Min, that jerk.

This was what made him so stuck-up.

Chae Min's mom having the answer sheets is circumstantial evidence.

But it's not direct evidence that proves Chae Min copying the answers.

If Chae Min did copy the answers,

that means he undermined all the other kids' hard work.

A student's life depends on it, so I want to be more careful.

I'll check one last time.

(Episode 25)

Hey, why are you following me?

Don't you know that we broke up?

Of course, I do.

That's why I'm keeping this much distance.

Go. Keep walking. Ex-girlfriend.

You better go home, ex-boyfriend.

Don't you think you're being too clingy?

- Bye. - Hey, Soo Jeong.

You know people live up to 100 now, right?

No one sticks to a single job all their life.

I'll help you find another dream.

I'll help you find your 2nd and 3rd dreams.

So...

don't be worried.

You have me.

(Standards for marking short and long answers)

(Answer, Accepted Answers, Partial Marks)

Okay, everyone. I need your attention.

Starting from today,

Ms. Hong will replace Mr. Park.

I hope we continue to get along each other.

Right. Ms. Son.

You know the test questions are due today, right?

You're the only one who hasn't handed them in. Hurry up.

Okay, I'll send them to you today.

As for the class placement test we recently had,

it doesn't have much influence on your college entry.

You know that the finals...

are more important, right?

All you have to do is do well on your finals.

This time, the top score must come from our class...

to live up to our name.

I trust in you.

Especially...

Chae Min.

Hey, Chae Min.

I know you're good. What's the matter?

You must remain calm at a time like this...

so you can show off what you're capable of.

I know you're capable enough.

I heard you, so stop.

That punk.

Look at him.

He sleeps at school because he studies at home?

No wonder he always sleeps.

Does that mean he was studying every night?

He betrayed us.

Seung Woo. Hey.

Why are you so selfish?

- We should study together. - Yes.

Do you want to?

Are you up to studying intensely like Spartans?

- Yes. - Yes.

This one is the hardest...

Move.

- You little... - I don't understand this one.

Can you teach me?

Did you think I wouldn't hit you?

Gosh.

If Chae Min did copy the answers,

that means he undermined all the other kids' hard work.

(Status of Rebate Board Member Kim Ki Ho)

Just as you asked, I've organized rebate documents per board member.

For each company the board members are involved with,

I collected manipulated quotes and double bookkeeping,

as well as the money they collected personally.

Good work.

I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision to make.

Are you ready?

I was ready ages ago.

When and how I'll use these documents...

depend on my mother.

We'll now start the 49th board meeting...

of Sulsong Foundation.

We'll start with the chairperson's opening remarks...

and introduction.

Have you been well, everyone?

Next, we'll deliberate on today's agenda.

First on the agenda.

I'd like to propose the dismissal...

of the current chairman, Oh Se Ho.

If you have any opinions on this item, please share.

Chairman Oh Se Ho did his best,

but considering the problems...

we had with the Education Office and the parents,

it looks like he's not competent enough...

to run this school.

I believe it was good to have him as a temporary chairman...

at the time the school became a hot topic.

He's also too young.

Chairwoman Lim. I mean, Ms. Lim...

is still competent, so she should come back.

What do you think about...

having Chairman Oh come back later on?

Any other opinions?

Then this item will follow the majority's vote...

I do.

My opinion is a little different.

(Reason for withdrawal: Resource development)

This shows the details of the amount of rebate and bribes...

you each had with different companies.

Double bookkeeping allowed you to grow the rebate...

by ridiculous amounts.

I may not be competent...

and I'm a young temporary chairman.

The highly competent Chairwoman Lim and the board members...

have been working on this enormous rebate,

all the while using this school as a business to make a profit.

I want to join you.

Please give me a position too.

It would be nice to work together, don't you think?

I think I'd be really upset...

if you left me out of this wonderful business.

According to the votes, the dismissal of Chairman Oh...

has been voted down.

I told you to try...

to take the school away from me.

What's wrong?

Isn't this the kind of son you wanted?

You find people's weaknesses to control and threaten them.

Are you satisfied?

Satisfied?

Do you still not know me?

No matter what you do, you can never satisfy me.

You were wrong before you were even born.

I'm so sick of hearing such things...

from you.

Do you feel relieved?

I'm not sure.

I thought I would be,

but I don't feel as good as I expected.

Not yet.

- So? - What do you mean?

Se Ho stabbed his mom in the back in front of the board members.

It hit her hard.

Se Ho is young, but he's so sly.

Gosh, I really don't know whose side I should be on.

Should I choose Oh Se Ho or Lim Se Gyeong?

We're going to have to make a decision pretty soon.

What do you think? Who do you think seems better?

Gosh, my retirement is going to depend on this one choice.

Goodness, this is really confusing.

I need to choose the right person...

so that I won't end up wrecking my career.

By the way, what is that?

It's tonic juice made with 10 medicinal herbs.

Why don't you share...

Hey, Mom. What did you just say?

What an annoying little...

Gosh.

You all heard that they rejected the chairman's dismissal, right?

Does that mean Chairman Oh is going to continue being in charge?

To be honest, the school's been pretty chaotic...

ever since Chairman Oh was put in charge of the school.

He made Wildflower Class, accepted Bok Su, and fired Mr. Park.

Bad things keep happening.

I have this nervous feeling that something really bad...

is going to happen.

It kind of feels like the calm before the storm.

I have this weird gut feeling.

I totally agree with you.

We need to stay low at times like this.

You all better be careful not to stand out.

Ms. Son, did you make sure there weren't any mistakes...

with the final test questions and answer sheet?

Pardon?

- Yes. - Okay.

(Sulsong High School 2018 Sophomore Final Test)

Okay, we got evidence to prove that the test questions were leaked.

Nice.

You don't seem very focused these days,

so I even got you the answer sheets for this semester's final test.

You'll become the top student as long as you stick to the answers.

Make sure you get the highest score this time, Chae Min.

Mom.

What if I get caught?

I'm scared, Mom.

I'll just try studying harder this time, so I can just...

You said you'd do better this time,

but you came in fifth place.

You're already doing your best.

You're just not competent enough.

Chae Min, you're useless if you're not the top student.

So what else can I do?

I have no choice but to help you out.

Fortunately, you have a very competent mom.

Just make sure you memorize all the answers.

I'll...

help you maintain your grades as the top student.

Goodness, wait right there.

Delicate women shouldn't carry heavy stuff like this.

You should ask So Jeong to carry stuff like this.

Your sister's also a woman.

No, she's not. She's like a general.

Meanwhile, you're very delicate, so you should take some rest.

I have something to say...

to you.

You're scaring me. What's wrong?

I'm...

going to take revenge.

You little punk. Just focus on studying!

You barely got back into school, and you're going to do what?

Studying isn't important right now.

The school's become a complete mess.

It's turned into a corporation.

I can't just sit back and do nothing.

Plus, Mr. Park got kicked out for trying to lead the school...

in the right direction.

That's why you want to take revenge?

I want to take revenge for making me get kicked out of school...

and for ruining the school for all the current students.

Then go ahead. That kind of revenge is acceptable.

"That kind of revenge"?

What kind of revenge did you think it would be?

I got worried thinking you might...

barge into the chairman's office with a knife or something.

I thought you might end up on the news.

What do you take me for?

But promise me one thing.

Promise me that you'll graduate.

You didn't leave school because you wanted to.

You made a tough decision to go back to school,

so please graduate this time. Okay?

Okay.

I'll graduate no matter what.

I'll make your wish come true.

What? What is this?

What's going on? What is this?

We're trying to get positive energy from you.

We figured we'll get one more question right...

if we touch the top student. Get back to sleep.

- Go back to sleep. - Get away from me.

- Get back to sleep. - Gosh, go away.

- Go away. - Give us positive energy.

Hey, give me your hands.

What's a wildflower?

- Spiraea prunifolia. - Spiraea prunifolia.

- Even if we get stepped on... - We will bloom!

- We can... - Do this!

Hey, did you do well?

Why? Do you think you would've gotten a better score than me again?

You're probably hoping I didn't do well.

Why would you say that?

I'm just annoyed because of Seung Woo.

If Seung Woo comes in first place again,

My mom is going to file a complaint.

A complaint for what?

She's going to question if anyone leaked the test.

I'm pretty sure someone leaked the test.

Otherwise, how could he become the top student...

when he used to get the lowest grades?

Will you please just stay still?

Why does your mom act up whenever she gets the chance?

Chae Min, that's a bit harsh.

Get lost, you jerk.

I'm going to study.

(1st: Lee Chae Min 2nd: Yoon Seung Woo)

Congratulations. I'm not even surprised.

Chae Min.

What?

Do you have anything you'd like to tell me?

Is there anything you'd like to be honest about?

No.

You should leave if you're done. I need to study.

Chae Min.

People always make mistakes.

The same goes for me even though I'm an adult.

If you shut your mouth even when you get a chance...

to correct the wrong,

you'll be sure to regret it later.

And that regret...

will hurt you very much.

What is this nonsense?

One mistake...

can ruin your whole life.

If there's something you want to say, say it straight.

Do you really have nothing to tell me?

I'm asking you for the last time.

If you don't muster up courage now...

There's no such thing.

Chae Min did copy the answer sheet.

All we have left to do is to break the news.

Will you be all right?

By the way, Bok Su, if you fall in danger because of this.

Come on. We broke up. Why are you being so clingy?

Reporting it to the media...

and to the education office were no use.

Something like this should be let out in the open,

that way they wouldn't dare touch us.

Because they're conscious of the public opinion.

Don't worry too much.

This is something I should do.

Ms. Son, I think the answer to this Korean question is wrong.

This short-answer question...

You're right.

I know that the answer is wrong.

(Teachers' Office)

Ms. Son. What were you thinking?

You've never made...

such a mistake before. Why now?

I'm sorry.

Gosh.

Correct the answer and post it.

You know it happens sometimes. Why is everyone making a fuss?

Well, Chae Min's score will drop because of this.

Really?

Chae Min's mom will be furious.

I'm more scared of Chae Min's mom than the other loud moms.

Anyway, Ms. Son.

Did Chae Min get this question right then got it wrong?

How did he get it right?

The answer was completely different.

- Was it impossible to get it right? - That's right.

It's a short-answer question. How can he write the wrong answer?

The question is so easy, level four students could get it.

Did Chae Min really get it wrong?

Ms. Hong.

Please watch your mouth.

You're talking about our students.

Do you want people to gossip about it?

This was wrong.

I knew it.

I didn't think I'd get such an easy question wrong.

I got it too.

Ms. Son must've lost it after going to Wildflower Class.

You're right.

Chae Min. Did your score go up too?

But you got perfect on the test.

Be quiet, jerk.

Well, it's strange.

Did you get this question right?

The answer was completely wrong. So how?

- It was a coincidence. - I see.

Writing three wrong answers...

to three wrong short-answer questions...

I think there's zero percent chance.

Bok Su.

You seem busy these days.

Keep in mind that you're a student here.

For Mr. Park who left the school for you,

you better stay low.

Don't ever talk about Mr. Park again.

You do your thing.

I'll do mine.

Because I couldn't do anything for him.

I was going to say it was just me and her.

Can't she really sleep out?

Then what should I do with the reservation?

What? Didn't we break up?

Why do you keep calling me?

Are you usually this clingy when you date?

I need to be clingy for a minute.

"I can't live without you. Please go out with me again."

If you're going to say that, save it.

I'm not interested in women who are clingy.

Sure. I won't be.

I'll keep it somewhere...

really deep in my heart where you can't find it.

Well... Not too deep, so I can find it again.

By the way, why?

Bok Su.

I gave 50,000 dollars back to Se Ho.

I heard you already knew.

Why didn't you tell me?

It might sound like an excuse,

but I thought you should...

hear it from Se Ho.

If I told you, then you...

might feel more miserable.

I heard you knew nine years ago that it was Se Ho...

who spread the rumor about me living on food stamps.

I was afraid you might get hurt again...

because of...

the same thing.

It's been tough for you too,

and we barely got to resolve our misunderstandings.

I didn't want you to feel guilty again.

I should've told you earlier.

It was just a little hard to do.

I'm sorry, Soo Jeong.

There's nothing else I don't know about, right?

No. Nothing at all.

(Sulsong High School's Corruption, Unanswered Questions)

Hello.

I'm a returning student at Sulsong High School, Kang Bok Su.

Today, I'm standing here to blow the whistle...

on the most corrupted private school there is,

Sulsong High School.

- Wait... - Hey, hey. Isn't this Bok Su?

You're right, it's Bok Su.

With the close relationship...

they have with a college entrance consulting firm,

Sulsong High School took money and sold the information...

about the debating contest.

Of course we have...

a very close relationship with Sulsong High School.

As for the most important intramural contest,

they especially give the information only to us...

in advance.

Sulsong High School is in trouble again.

Sulsong High School? What is it?

Also,

the student who'll get the award is predetermined.

- Of course, this isn't free either. - Hey, hey.

What's this? Bok Su is amazing.

(March)

What is he talking about?

(The winner is predetermined prior to the event.)

Our school's crazy.

Why did we bother studying?

But that's the amount you guys came up with.

Also, don't you know how much you get from me?

Sulsong High's Administration Office purchased apparatuses...

for prices that were marked up to 10 times their worth.

Hey, hey, hey.

Look at the view count.

Actually,

they were exaggerating the prices...

to get a payback.

We were able to get our hands on the double bookkeeping...

between the school and the partner companies.

We always promise to donate enough.

In exchange of donations, test questions were leaked.

(Video of Sulsong High School's test paper getting leaked)

The teacher is like the sky.

It's a position we all should look up to,

but at Sulsong High school, it was purchased and sold.

Today, we brought an anonymous whistleblower...

who had to make a very difficult decision.

I'm a teacher at Sulsong High School.

At Sulsong High School, the teacher's positions...

are being bought and sold with money.

I'm someone who was offered such a deal.

Aside from me, other teachers were tempted...

and they made the wrong choice. There is a list of our names.

- Honey. - Sulsong High School...

has a very big problem with employment corruption.

If an investigation starts,

I'll reveal my identity and stand as a witness.

I don't want to stand in front of the children...

- in shame anymore. - What happened?

That's why I volunteered to stand up.

I'm so sorry.

(Sulsong High School's teacher)

We need your help...

to get the related organization to officially investigate...

Sulsong High School's corruption.

I'm sure the school will sue me for defamation,

but would such a school...

have any honor left to protect?

Here's the next story.

A video about the corruption...

of a certain school has gone viral on a streaming site.

I told you to get rid of Bok Su.

Did you have to ruin my school like this?

Bok Su is smarter than I thought.

We need to meet up right away.

Chairwoman Lim, what do you mean?

Since the situation came to this,

you need to be responsible.

Chairwoman Lim,

did I do this by myself? I only followed your orders.

Exactly.

We did it together.

You can't get out of this.

Don't you get it?

Just consider it as a way to save the school.

Are you telling me...

to take all the blame by myself?

Are you cutting me off so that only you can get away from this?

I'm a teacher too.

I taught kids for a long time.

If I count all the kids that have gone through me so far...

I can't do it. I still can't.

Mr. Kim.

You have to be extra wise...

when faced with a crisis.

What are you doing? Hurry up and go!

I...

really can't go.

What do I do now?

All the kids must know. Everyone would know.

You must act more shameless at a time like this.

How can I do that?

Because you must.

Go to school and say that it wasn't you.

Tell them it's a coincidence, and tell them not to suspect you.

- Mom. - You can't take time off school.

That means you admit to everything. Don't you get it?

There's no place to step back.

If you can't become shameless,

then it's over.

Hey, hey, our school's name is being researched the most.

Isn't it a first?

This school was the top trending topic before...

thanks to Young Min and Bok Su.

I didn't notice when I was in Ivy Class,

but our school discriminates a lot.

I can't believe I get low grades because our family's poor.

Hey, that's not right.

Why not? They bought test answers with money.

I could get 100 percent if I had that.

Do you think so?

Hey, old man.

Are you here?

"Are you here?" Why are you awkwardly being polite?

Bok Su, you're the hero in my life.

Gye So Ra.

The hero in your life is you.

By the way, is everything true?

Would I have released it if it wasn't true?

I knew it. Money was the problem.

Why didn't you tell me if you were going to shoot?

How could I ask you guys for help?

You must be nuts.

I look older than you.

I agree completely.

- That's true, but I'm older. - Let's go.

Let me go, you punks.

Okay.

- I'm so sorry. - Don't worry, ma'am.

We'll be in touch when things are sorted out.

- Yes, sure. - Don't worry.

No. That never happened.

How can our school have such corruption?

No, of course not.

Of course not, ma'am.

What? The evidence?

They were all forged. Yes.

You shouldn't doubt us so easily.

Never. It never happened.

What's going to happen to this school?

Wouldn't it become more transparent? I noticed so many irregularities.

Exactly. I can't believe the school accepted bribery to hire teachers.

That means there are teachers among us who paid money to get hired.

I'm sure that's not true.

We're already busy dealing with the parents. Don't add onto this.

Gosh, I can't believe Bok Su caused this mess.

Ms. Son.

Did you really not know about this?

No.

Who do you think paid money to get hired as a full-time teacher?

I never imagined something like that would happen in our school.

Gosh, let's not doubt each other.

She's right. Nothing's been proven yet.

The whistleblower didn't even reveal his or her identity.

That person's even willing to get investigated by the police.

Let's see.

Hey!

Are you serious right now?

Gosh, you startled me.

Ms. Hong, I'm joking.

I'm sorry.

Forget it. Answer your phone.

Yes, this is Sulsong...

Hello, ma'am.

No, ma'am.

No, that was all fabricated.

Yes, we'll call you as soon as we check the facts.

- It's him. - How brazen.

- My gosh. - Seriously.

It was Chae Min, wasn't it?

Of course, it was him.

He's unbelievable.

- I'm surprised he came to school. - That's how he got full marks?

He's seriously something.

- Unlike him, I have to study. - Exactly.

- He's so brazen. - I'm kind of jealous of him.

Kang Bok Su!

How can you be so confident?

Do you know what kind of trouble you've caused?

No, I don't.

And...

I'm not the one who caused trouble. It was the school.

Hey, are you even aware of what you've done?

You ruined the lives of so many students.

They need to go to prestigious universities,

but you ruined everything!

I only stated the truth.

But if that truth ends up ruining the students' lives,

would I really be the one to blame?

Shouldn't the ones who schemed things...

behind people's backs hold responsibility?

Who do you think you are...

Mr. Song, you need to watch the television.

What's going on?

I am responsible for everything that got revealed.

I'm sorry for causing a stir.

I'll resign from my position as the principal and receive my punishment.

It's happening way faster than I expected.

Are you saying you're fully responsible...

for all the irregularities that got revealed?

(I am solely responsible for all the irregularities.)

Yes, I did everything on my own.

And once again, I'd like to apologize for everything.

I feel greatly responsible for not being aware...

of all the irregularities that were happening in the school...

after I had resigned from my position as the chairwoman.

In order to take responsibility of the incident,

the principal...

and the current chairman will be dismissed.

And our foundation will make sure things go back to normal...

so that Sulsong stays as the most prestigious school in the area...

for the sake of our students.

I'm sorry.

I really think of this school like my own child.

So I will do my best to protect it.

Once again, I'd like to deeply...

and sincerely apologize for what happened.

(Sulsong High School Press Conference)

Mr. Kim, why did you lie?

I know you didn't do it alone.

You already saw the CCTV footage. You're the one who revealed it.

Did you also lend your bank account to the school?

Yes. I mean, no. That's not it.

Mr. Kim, the money that was involved adds up to millions...

Actually, it adds up to tens of millions of dollars...

if you consider the fact that it's been done for 10 years.

And you're saying you're responsible for all that money?

Why are you lying?

I did everything.

I'll go to court if I have to.

Being a high school principal...

isn't the only academic profession you can have.

You should invest wisely in your future.

Think about what that would be.

What do you mean?

If you help me deal with this case,

I'll make sure you become the president of a university.

Doing business in education...

safely guarantees profits like no other.

And universities make the biggest profit.

With the money I've earned and gathered in Sulsong,

I was in the process of drawing a very big picture.

And you were included in that blueprint of mine.

Let's be honest. You played a very big part...

in my business anyway.

So it's only right that you partially take responsibility.

And while you're at it, just take responsibility for everything.

Then I'd like you to become...

the president of Sulsong University.

You know that I'm a woman of my word, right?

Keep this in mind.

If I go down,

your career of the past 30 years...

will end up disappearing as well.

I made a good deal.

So many people take the blame and return to better lives.

You really know how to cut people off.

I already had it prepared just in case you caused trouble.

I can't believe you let Bok Su beat you with something like this.

It was just bad timing. It's not over yet.

It's over for you.

And it's all because of Bok Su.

All you had to do was hire someone...

and just get rid of...

both Bok Su and Soo Jeong.

Are you so happy...

that it's over for me?

I'm your son.

Earlier, you said you thought of this school like your own child.

And I was really dumbfounded.

Do you even care about your child?

Why is it that I've never felt that from you?

You're right.

I never thought you were precious.

- Mom. - Don't even call me that.

You once said I should love you no matter how incompetent you are...

because I'm your mom.

If you really think of me as your son,

you should love me...

even though I'm so incompetent and unsatisfactory.

I had to become strong and sturdy...

in order to protect Sulsong. But what did you do?

You kept whining for me to love you.

Oh, and there's one more.

You jumped from the rooftop because you were so weak.

Mom!

You and this school are the only two things I got...

as alimony from that family when I got abandoned.

I dedicated my entire life to this school, and this is all I get?

Aside from the fact that I'm your mom,

as a human being,

I really despise...

weak people like you.

I also...

really hate...

you.

No.

You've always acted like...

a dog that needed affection.

No matter how much I hit you, you kept wagging your tail.

Don't you think I know that?

You've never given me...

affection.

I can't believe you're my son.

Even if I hate you, you're my only child.

So after I die, this will all be yours, right?

Just be satisfied with it and leave.

I don't need such a thing!

(Sulsong High School Press Conference)

I said I don't need such a thing!

You saw this too, right?

Do you think it's real?

I wonder to whom it went to.

It went to you, right?

Hey!

What's wrong with him?

Chae Min?

Chae Min, your face...

Chae Min, what happened?

Chae Min, what's wrong?

Chae Min.

Chae Min!

Chae Min!

Don't come!

If you do,

I'll kill myself.

Hey, Chae Min. No!

Just kill yourself then.

Just...

die.
