ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS
AND EVENTS ARE FICTITIOUS

Gosh, I made circles
because of this damn navigation.

We're in the middle of nowhere.

Are you sure a blessed person
would live in a place like this?

Come on.
I told you not to say things like that.

You're going to lessen its effects
if you say things like that.

Hurry up and follow me.

Come on.

Geez...

All right. I get it.

Excuse me.

I heard that the baby shaman
here is extraordinary.

We traveled a great distance.

Our baby shaman...

is feeling a bit under the weather,

- so today might be a bit difficult.
- I see.

Oh... Don't be like that.

We've prepared a generous offering.

So just help us with that.

What are you talking about?

You know, we're asking for the curse.

Everyone has been raving about

how the shaman here
can produce a spectacular curse.

A curse?

It's wishing misfortune upon someone else.

That's not something that
you just hand out to anyone.

Please, don't be like that.
Just curse that bastard.

That piece of trash.

As if cheating on me
with a young floozy wasn't enough,

he just destroys the house
every time he gets drunk.

If I can't even get that...

I feel like my anger and stress
are going to kill me!

I told you that it wasn't that simple.

There are things that
you need to prepare too.

We prepared everything already.

Take them out. Hurry up.

What? Okay.

Wait. Let me show you.

That bastard's photo and
his name in Chinese characters.

Oh, and...

Here is that bastard's wallet.

Just twist all four limbs of that bastard.

- Just make sure he dies a painful death.
- But that's going too far...

If you could just have him
ache for a couple of days...

Oh, that's right.

The offering.

Well, then...

Just wait a moment.

She must be bringing her. My goodness.

I'm sorry.

My baby, I'm sorry.

This is all my fault.

So-jin.

You just need to do it one more time.

My poor baby...

My poor...

Oh, good grief...

Calm down. Just be patient.

It's all done.

- You can leave now.
- It's already done?

Really?

Yes.

We just cursed him
with an ailment for a couple of days.

Now that you've cursed him,

you must be feeling relieved now.

Anyway,

our baby shaman has recited a curse.
Now, you may leave.

Oh my...

It's going to take us forever to go back.

Gosh, looks like we'll be up all night.

What is it?

He collapsed and
he's on the way to the hospital.

What?

I think the curse worked.

Hey, get in the car now.

Oh, my.

No... Please, no...

Mom...

It's dangerous.

Who are you?

Wow...

It's the perfect
sacred ground to host a spirit.

All of the energy
from the mountains converge here.

We're closed for the day,
and I was about to go to sleep.

Come back tomorrow.

Oh, no. That's not it.

Do I look like someone
who came to get their fortune told?

Who are you?

Sister, you recently
performed a good exorcism for us,

so I came to return the kindness.

It's the perfect time
to return the kindness.

And the energy is perfect.

Return what kindness?

Mom...

Sister, you're running so low on energy.

Why did you do something so reckless?

What are you blabbering about
in the middle of the night?

Get out of here.

Not knowing what's going on
and getting killed...

would be better for you. Right?

What are you talking about?

Let's hurry up and clean this up.

10 YEARS LATER

I'LL SPEAK FOR THE POWERLESS

JOONGJIN DAILY
I'LL SPEAK FOR THE POWERLESS

JOONGJIN DAILY
REPORTER LIM JIN-HEE

Mr. Min Jung-in, are you ready?

Do you have to record it?

This is just for fact-checking purposes.

There is no way
this will be leaked to the public.

I can turn it off
if it makes you uncomfortable.

No.

Let's just get started, Ms. Lim.

So you were kidnapped
by unidentified assailants?

I was on my way home
after a quick beer in Sinchon.

Someone just came running towards me

and covered my nose
with a handkerchief soaked in something.

I lost consciousness immediately.

And then?

And then when I woke up,

I was at some sort of abandoned factory,

and my hands and feet
were tied to the chair.

And...

They didn't say anything.
They just kept hitting me.

You know, Ms. Lim.

Those bastards...

They were hired by Chairman Jin Jong-hyun.

How do you know for sure
that Chairman Jin is behind this?

Chairman Jin was there.

He was there?

Chairman Jin was there?

Yes, I'm sure of it.

While I was getting beaten up,

I smelled something weird.

It was like someone was burning incense.

Incense?

Chairman Jin has a distinctive smell.

At first,

I thought it was because
he was smoking weird cigarettes.

So you saw his face?

No, I couldn't see his face
because it was dark.

But there's no one else
that smells like that.

Mr. Min.

Other than that,

Is there something concrete that proves
Chairman Jin was behind this?

Look here.

I told you everything on the phone before.

Why do you keep making me repeat
the same story? Over and over!

Just a moment.

Yes, you've already told me everything.

But think of this as telling
the readers of our newspaper again.

I understand that
this must be painful for you.

But you need to be the one
to expose him in your own words

for Chairman Jin to pay for what he did.

I'm sorry.

I'll try again.

Okay.

I was working
in the Coding Team of Forest,

the company that
Jin Jong-hyun is the chairman of.

But I was fired out of the blue,
using restructuring as an excuse.

So I was talking to other employees
about how ridiculous this was,

and one of my colleagues
from the Finance Team

said something odd.

He said that one of the subsidiary
companies of Forest is weird.

A weird company?

What is it?
The important part is just about to start.

What's the point of
watching any more of this?

He's just whining because he feels
like he was wrongfully dismissed.

Whining? He was physically assaulted
and is giving testimony.

Do you call that whining?

Listen. There's no evidence that
the company was behind the assault.

Sir, there is a weird subsidiary
company of Forest,

and that company does nothing.
Something seems off.

And after writing an article about
how the money was being poured

into that company, he was assaulted
and even threatened by the company

There you go again.

A reporter should base
their argument on facts.

You can't create a narrative.

Even the Prosecution rejected it
due to insufficient evidence

and called for
an additional investigation.

You just want to blindly believe
in this guy and print an article?

Oh, come on. Let's not be like this.

All right. Let's calm down.

Forest is an IT company that has

grown at a rapid pace
in the last ten years.

You're aware that
the current administration likes them.

And Chairman Jin Jong-hyun

is a very popular businessman
with the youth nowadays.

To write an article about this is...

It's the perfect way to be called
trashy journalists.

I'm not saying that
we shouldn't write the article.

Even the Prosecution asked
for an additional investigation.

Then, I'm sure the police
will find some concrete evidence.

And Ms. Lim, you are the perfect one
to follow the police investigation.

So let's hold off on this story
until there's clearer evidence. Okay?

Come on.

Hey, where are you off to now?

Hey, answer me.

I wanted to check on the progress
of the additional investigation.

She's so damn rude.

Sir, are you really going to
let her act like that?

But her persistence
has paid off a lot in the past.

How is losing advertisers
paying off for the company?

Come on.

Geez.

SEODONG POLICE STATION

SEODONG POLICE STATION

Yes, Mr. Jung.

You could have sat down and waited.
Your leg isn't well.

I'm fine. Don't worry.

What did you want to see me about?

Oh, right. You should step down
from the Forest case.

Why? We're in the middle
of the additional investigation.

The Prosecution called me directly
and told me to give up on

this ridiculous investigation.

But sir, you're not the type to give up
on an investigation like this.

Damn it, you punk. It's not that.

I heard that Forest
was about to go public.

There's a lot of talk about
this creating a controversy

to sway stock prices
before it goes public, okay?

We might be blamed for all of it
if we just dive in.

Even if we investigate, let's do it
after it goes public to avoid all that.

Oh, come on...

Hurry up and fill this in to be submitted.

What is it?

POLICE UNIVERSITY INVESTIGATIVE FACULTY
APPLICATION FORM

I recommended you
for an available position

in the Investigative Faculty,
Police University.

You should go there.

What is it all of a sudden?

How can you lead the Criminal Team
with your legs like that?

This is nothing for a detective
after a few cases.

Is that nothing? Is it?

You'll have to live like that
for the rest of your life. Listen to me.

You've done good work.

So spend the rest of
your time in the warm indoors

and take it easy. You deserve it.

You don't know the strings

I had to pull to get you in there.

Forget it. Thank you, sir.

You hold an unwell man
captive for this nonsense?

- Are you really going to act up like that?
- Who's acting up?

Stop there!

Sung-joon.

It'll be better for your team
if you go there.

Pardon?

Do you know how your team is
walking on eggshells because of you?

So stop being so stubborn.

If you're going to pursue
that Forest case,

just take care of a voice phishing case
while preparing the PU curriculum.

Okay? Leave now.

Come on, Chief!

Chief Jang!

Jin-hee.

Hi, Detective Yang.

Mr. Jung is in a meeting with the Chief.
He'll be right here.

How's your wife? She's due soon right?

Yes, she has two weeks left.

I can't believe I'm a father.

But she's going to have
a C-section, so I'm not too worried.

Even so, take care of her.

Gosh, that can only happen
when Mr. Jung lets me go home.

Can you ask him to come home already?

That's true. I'm sorry about that.

- It's alright.
- What is this?

- Are you two talking about me?
- No, sir.

What brings you here at this hour?

What is that?

Take it.

What is it?

Well, I saw it in movies

that wives of detectives do
things like this.

I'm getting nervous, Detective Yang.

My wife is busier than me
and she's not acting like herself.

I agree. I'm going to
give you two some privacy.

I'll head back in.

You're here because you were curious
about the investigation, right?

What's the matter?
Did the higher-ups reject the article?

Even the Chief told me
to let go of the Forest case

and take on a voice phishing case.

So are you going to let go of the case?

Hey, that's a scary question.

Ma'am, you're very scary.

Don't worry. I already told Detective Yang
to look into that suspicious company.

Don't do that.

Are you talking about
that subsidiary of Forest?

Yes. It doesn't seem like
a simple case of assault.

It seems like
they're hiding something big.

We need to start with that subsidiary.

I see.

Hey, Lim Jin-hee!

Cheer up.

Why do you look so down?

- It's just that...
- It's just that?

It makes me upset.

The bastards who think

they can run this world
however they like with their power,

the bastards
who think they can do anything

and get their way,

and the parasites that
sponge off of those bastards.

Also, the helpless people

that can't do anything out of fear.

Hey, why do you seem like you have
the whole world on your shoulders?

You might not believe it,

but we're doing our very best.

Do you think the Prosecution will accept
it after the additional investigation?

If they don't, we need to
keep investigating, until they do.

You are so square. So square.

You're unbelievable.

You said that me being square was sexy.

- You said that's what made you like me.
- I did?

Yes. You asked me to marry you
because I was square.

What? When did I say that?

You proposed to me.

- Wow!
- Let's stick to the facts!

Sure. You're the one who proposed to me!

What is it? What's wrong?

Does it still hurt?

Maybe you need
more rehabilitation therapy?

No... It just aches a bit.

- I told you to get more treatment.
- Hey.

Don't I remind you of
Long John Silver from Treasure Island?

The one-legged captain.

You're great.

I'm serious.

I don't know.

I'm going to get going.

I should go home and clean or something.

Jin-hee.

Don't try to take on
everything on your own.

- Every person has a role to play.
- Yes, I understand, sir.

Hey, don't forget to change
your underwear and shower.

You're going to start smelling soon.

It hasn't even been a few days.

Oh, trash.

CHAIRMAN JIN JONG-HYUN OF FOREST

CHAIRMAN JIN, DREAMING OF A GIANT FOREST
BUILT WITH NETWORK

They didn't say anything.

They just kept hitting me.

Those bastards...

They were hired by Chairman Jin Jong-hyun.

One of my colleagues from the Finance Team

said something odd.

He said that one of the subsidiary
companies of Forest is weird.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO COULD
TELL US ABOUT CHAIRMAN JIN OF FOREST

STOP ACTING LIKE A BIG SHOT

YOU'RE JUST ONE OF THE TRASHY REPORTERS

PRIVATE COMMENT:
PLEASE ENTER THE PASSWORD

I WOULD LIKE TO MEET IN PERSON
AND REPORT ABOUT CHAIRMAN JIN

Director Kim.

Yes.

- Sorry. I'm so late.
- No, it's okay.

- I'm really sorry.
- Don't worry. I just got here.

I'll get what he's having. Thank you.

So did you figure out
how to handle it internally?

Yes, we did. And...

Come on. I said it was fine.

- Please, take it. Please.
- Gosh...

No, please. You can take it. Don't worry.

Come on...
You don't have to do this all the time.

I also brought a flash drive.

We'd appreciate it
if you could proceed with this.

What's the narrative?

"Mr. Min was caught while trying to sell
users' personal information

to an illegal foreign gambling site
and got fired as a result."

"This led to hostility on Mr. Min's part
and he proceeded to come up

with a ridiculous reason to threaten
to sue the company internally."

That's the narrative.

All the materials are on the flash drive.

We even included footage
of the Audit Team's testimony there.

So industrial spy is the concept?

That's a bit old-school.

The classics have always worked.

We'd like it if you made sure
the article comes out tomorrow morning.

Okay. I get it.

Oh, and I'm just really curious about it.

It's about Chairman Jin.

Why was he watching
at the scene of the attack?

He is a bit...

I mean, he's a bit off like that.

Actually, he's a bit of a weirdo.

I mean, it's not like
he's some kind of pervert.

Why would someone in his position
go there to watch all that?

And I heard that your company
has a weird subsidiary company?

- What's that about?
- That's a consulting company.

- Thank you.
- Consulting?

That's right.

What kind of consulting?

They consult with the chairman
on the direction of the business.

It's just a consulting company.

Hey, tell me the truth.

What is it?

I'm here. Where are you?

I'm in the middle.

Hello, I'm Lim Jin-hee,
a reporter at Joongjin Daily.

Yes. I'm well aware.

You do? How?

Do you mind if I record this?

Sure, if you'd like to.

I read a posting about you looking
for information on Chairman Jin.

Do you mind if I call you by your name?

If you'd like.

I read all of the articles you wrote.

While I was reading them,

I thought to myself
what an honorable person you were.

Thank you for those kind words.

But you said that
you had something to report.

There's probably no one else
that knows about

Chairman Jin's true identity
as well as me.

True identity?

Chairman Jin isn't human.

Well, some people can seem inhuman.

He's not inhuman. He's just not human.

He's an evil spirit.

What do you mean?

And I heard that your company
has a weird subsidiary company?

What's that about?

That's a consulting company.

- Thank you.
- Consulting?

That's right.

What kind of consulting?

They consult with the chairman
on the direction of the business.

It's just a consulting company.

Hey, tell me the truth.

What is it?

Well...

They do some spiritual consulting.

What is spiritual consulting?

The CEO of the subsidiary company
is a shaman.

A shaman?

Yes.

The CEO is a shaman.

Wait, let me get this straight.

The country's top IT company's Chairman

gets his fortune told by a shaman?

You might find it funny,

but it's a fact.

My goodness.

I've heard of celebrities
consulting with shamans

to help them decide
what their next projects were going to be.

But you're saying that a shaman
is the one in control of the company?

Yes, that's how our company
ended up where we are.

I got it.

Now, I kind of understand.

So you were embarrassed
and going this far to hide it?

Gosh, Mr. Lee.

You have quite a tough life.

He's not inhuman. He's just not human.

He's an evil spirit.

What do you mean?

Chairman Jin has been
possessed by an evil spirit.

You can't stop him
with laws made by humans.

What's your deal?

I understand that
you don't believe me at this moment,

but I'll tell you anyway.

This is a spiritual battle.

Chairman Jin has been possessed
by an evil spirit that has and enjoys

the power to cause misfortune for people.

Where did you come from?
Do you belong to some online forum?

I'm not sure what Chairman Jin is up to,

but I'm telling you that
you can't approach this like.

Is that so?

Then what about you?
Why are you telling me this?

I'm an enchanter.

An enchanter?

You've never heard of enchanters?

They kill people with curses.

I'm sure you've heard of them.

It was also a trending keyword
online for a while.

Come on.

Do kids find this fun?

- Do you think this is a joke?
- You need to stop him as soon as possible.

Normally, you collect things

like hair from the victim
to gather the power for a curse.

So I've been talking to a ghost.

Then keep on fighting
in that spiritual battle of yours.

Excuse me, I have some chores
I need to catch up on.

I'm different.

I just need that person's photo,
name in Chinese characters,

and something that belongs to them
to put a curse on them.

That's why I need you.

If you call me ever again,

I will call your parents. Understand?

Go home.

Tell me the name of someone
you want to curse.

You earned that right.

I just need that person's photo,
name in Chinese characters,

and something that belongs to them
to put a curse on them.

Go home now before I get angrier.

Chairman Jin!

There are reports of you instigating
an assault on a former employee.

Is this true? Please, give me a comment.

Let go of me! Let go!

Is it true you assaulted
a former employee?

REAL-TIME SEARCH WORD:
FOREST WHISTLEBLOWER

WHISTLEBLOWER OF FOREST, TURNED OUT
TO BE A BROKER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We have received reports
from Mr. Min's colleagues that

he often spoke about illegal gambling
while he was working on the Coding Team.

And soon, we discovered
a detailed report that revealed

he was cousins with the administrator

- of an illegal gambling site.
- Kim Ju-hwan...

Our Audit Team...

Min Jung-in.

PERSONNEL CARD

Hello? Mr. Min?

Damn it. How dare you call me?

You destroyed my life.

This is a misunderstanding.
I'm on my way to the office.

We'll print a retraction.

My identity has been exposed.

What use is all that?

That bastard is going to kill

- my whole family now!
- Where are you right now?

Let's meet and talk.

Where are you right now?

Mr. Min, please, calm down.

It's because of you.

It's because of you. Damn it!

It could have just ended with
what happened to me...

I thought I mattered...

Mr. Min, where are you right now?

Are you driving?
Are you on your way to see your family?

Please, stop the car.

Stop the car and talk to me.

I understand that
you're angry and you feel wronged.

It's all my fault. I'll take
responsibility and take care of it.

Mr. Min!

Please, stop the car.

Mr. Min.

Mr. Min, are you all right?

I'll expose all the things that
Forest has been up to.

I promise you. So, please...

Please, calm down...

Do you know how Jin Jong-hyun's Forest
was able to get so big

in the last ten years?

It was because...

Mr. Min?

Mr. Min, answer me!

Mr. Min?

Mr. Min?

Mr. Min!

Mr. Min!

Mr. Min!

JOONGJIN DAILY

Jin-hee. This morning, Mr. Min...

Hey...

Yes. Just wait
until the autopsy results are out.

You scared me!

You met with Forest, didn't you?

Ms. Lim, why are you so upset again?

Answer me.
How much did they give you to write that?

I just don't understand
what you're talking about.

You don't?

You know what?

You're the one who killed Mr. Min.
Understand?

- What was that?
- What?

Come on...

Okay, just wait.

Just calm down.

Ms. Lim, you have
your phone with you, right?

Right?

What?

You have it with you.
Just take it out. Please?

Quickly. Just take it out.

Right.

Oh, come on now.

You weren't even recording.

I just spoke to the police on the phone.

They have to perform an autopsy,

but they found
empty liquor bottles in the car.

Drunk driving. Isn't it obvious?

If things had gone awry,

innocent civilians
might have been put in danger.

Did you know this?

You're trash.

Hey. Are you the only honorable one here?

Is that what you think?

Does everyone else look like trash to you?

Let go of me. Let go!

You just want to get beat up
to death, don't you?

Do you know who killed that whistleblower?

It was you. You, dumb brat!

You're the one who gave
that useless punk hope. Damn it.

Did you know?

You piece of trash.

Hey.

Do you know what I'm going to do next?

Once that punk's autopsy is finished,
I'm going to have you write the article

that outlines his BAC and the fact that
he ended up dying while drunk driving.

And if you don't write that article, then...

I'll write another article
that trashes him.

Over and over.

I'll just keep publishing them.

Please...

Let's just be reasonable, okay?

And we should know our place.

What are you doing?

Hurry up and get up.

Go to the station
and see them wrap up the autopsy.

Report to me straight away
after you witness that.

Go on.

42ND PRESIDENT KIM JU-HWAN

Kim Ju-hwan...

Tell me the name of someone
you want to curse.

I just need that person's photo,
name in Chinese characters,

and something that belongs to them
to put a curse on them.

Hey, Ju-hwan.

Which Chinese character

do you use to write your name?

JOONGJIN DAILY

Jin-hee, I was so excited to hear from you
that I skipped study hall to come here.

Jin-hee.

Hey.

You said something
about causing people misfortune.

The curse?

Yes, the curse.

There was someone
that I really wanted to kill today.

Someone besides Jin Jong-hyun?

Okay, Jin-hee.

You don't need to give me the details.

If you tell me, I'll curse that person.

Okay.

Hey, Ju-hwan.

- What?
- Which Chinese character

do you use to write your name?

Are you going to tell me my fortune?

No.

I was just curious.

Ju as in pour and Hwan as in happy.

It means to spread happiness profusely.

Thanks.

That nitwit brat.

KIM JU-HWAN

What about something that belongs to him?

Could this work?

42ND PRESIDENT KIM JU-HWAN

Yes. This is more than enough.

Then I'll get started.

KIM JU-HWAN

You just want to get beat up
to death, don't you?

Ju as in pour and Hwan as in happy.

There was someone
that I really wanted to kill today.

It's done.

I cursed him.

What?

It's done.

Okay.

I'm feeling a little bit better
thanks to you.

Thank you.

Well, do I need to pay you
some sort of offering for the curse?

No, it's fine.

You will call me again.

We share a destiny now.

What?

Go home today and call me later.

Get some rest. You look terrible today.

By the way, what's your name?

Baek So-jin.

So-jin?

Yes. Why do you ask?

Nothing.

There is someone I know
with that name too.

Really?

I hope that someone is a good person.

Might as well be...

I'm a bit tired. It's been a while
since I've put a curse on somebody.

I'm going to get going.

SUNG-JOON

What's going on? I'm getting worried.

What's up?
Can't you get in touch with your wife?

Don't worry too much.

If something happened to her,

we would have heard about it
from someone at the crime scene.

Darn it.

JOONGJIN DAILY

DO NOT ENTER
UNDER INVESTIGATION

JOONGJIN DAILY

What is this?

42ND PRESIDENT KIM JU-HWAN

THANK YOU TO PARK SEONG-IL
FOR HIS SPECIAL APPEARANCE

It was like a powerful force
crumpled him up.

I'm serious. You have to believe me.

Are you saying that the spirit
responsible for this is after me?

First, we need to find out
how this enchanter cast this curse.

How dare you!

We must act now.

The one with that fountain pen cap
is the one who instigated the enchanter.

Jin-hee, we must kill Chairman Jin.
