EP 24 – Mouth (2)
South Korea’s voters were engulfed in unprecedented chaos. It’s not just because of Won Ok-bun’s sudden action. It’s just that the political structure of Korea is too complicated.
The republican-democratic composition collapsed, and the conflict between Yeong and Ho-nam, which ran parallel lines, drew a subtle curve. In addition, the founding party, the National Defense Party, the Kuomintang, and now the coalition government.
All existing political order has collapsed.
The only thing that remains the same is the local color.
so.
[…] … Me, Won Ok-bun. There was a lot of anguish and hesitation before I decided to challenge the Jeonbuk governor.]
The idea that Won Ok-bun, the leader of Gyeongsang Province, was going to advance into Honam had more meaning than expected.
On the way back to the dormitory after a quick dinner party. Pi Chae-won, who was guarding the passenger seat, questioned me.
“… … Hey, Minister? Why on earth did the former acting authority Won Ok-bun abandon his garden?”
“What does it mean that the lord came out of the castle?”
“… … Would you like to eat another last name?”
“right.”
As the Korean political world fell into chaos, people’s regionalism became more and more intense. And the political world was the ground to change in the direction that satisfies the needs of society.
Therefore, in the current system, the three politicians with the most solid support had to be considered.
The leader of Honam who protected Gwangju for 10 years.
slate stone.
A living history of Korean conservatives.
Won Ok Min.
The brightest city. Seongju of Jeju Island.
audience lobe.
“Of course I counted without me, but given that I have very little regional base. Indeed, these yangbans may be more powerful than me.”
“… … What about Chungcheong-do or Gangwon-do?”
“Let’s tie it together with a border.”
Since the area near the Chungcheong defense line is strongly affected by the relief and defense activities of the military base, most of them were enthusiastic supporters of Commander Doo-Sik Kim.
However, Commander Doo-Sik Kim is not a politician. Likewise, Commander Hyeon-jong Yoo, who receives absolute support in the Sokcho area of Gangwon-do, has weak political power. I don’t know if I’ll run again.
“So… … ! Chungcheong-do, where most of the refugees live, will probably support Shin Soo-gwang, a former refugee camp president. Of course, the yangban was so novice, he couldn’t control the area like Chung Jung-yeop.”
“… … Also, doesn’t Chungcheong-do like Minister Han very much?”
“I have a thin and wide approval rating. Anyway, the North has nothing to do with it. The problem is in the South.”
If we were to divide present-day Korea into two, of course, it was the North and the South.
The northern part was a society that had deteriorated due to the destroyed cities and numerous refugees, and the southern part was a society of middle-class people who maintained the appearance before the gate.
Mainly the North supported the Kuomintang and the South supported the National Defense Party.
Jeju Island’s gold spoons were supporting the Kuomintang after tapping on the calculator.
In the end, the Kuomintang was supported by the poor and wealthy, and the National Defense Party was supported by the middle class.
“In that sense. If Won Ok-bun, who already had Gyeongsang-do in his hands, gets his hands on Jeolla-do.”
“… … .”
“It’s like taking more than half of Korea.”
At this point, the vehicle stopped in front of the accommodation. I got my cane and got out of the car, and Chaewon followed me with a briefcase.
As I walked towards the hotel room, I did not stop talking.
“Let’s meet at Wonok-bun’s camp right away. What is the intention of acting Won to suddenly pop out and swallow half of Korea? Was it an action agreed upon with your Excellency? If not, how should it be done? From now on, quickly-”
“Take it slow, okay? A young friend.”
A familiar voice was heard.
“… … ”
It had been a long time, but it was an unforgettable voice because it was so unique.
Slightly slurred pronunciation. split voice. Still, the theft remains buried.
“Long time no see. A minister.”
“… … How much is this! Agent!”
“You’re smiling quite a bit.”
The wrinkled hand that was waiting for me in front of the room grabbed my hand and shook it slowly.
Former acting authority Won Ok-bun looked directly at me with blurry eyes and gave me a subtle smile with a half-hardened face.
“A lot, it’s grown.”
* * *
[…] … The gate opens. What I felt while managing the government for a year was not the difficulties or burdens, but the suffering of the people.]
[…] … The country has emerged from the crisis and made a huge leap forward. The subject of this miraculous history was the people, and now a new crossroads has come.]
On TV, she was quite eloquent. It was a voice that felt a little harsh, but if people with a crush saw it, it seemed to be strong.
The old politician leaned helplessly on the couch, evaluating himself on the screen.
“Because I put some implants in. I think my pronunciation has improved a bit.”
“You’ve been flawless before, what?”
“Yeah, isn’t it much better? If I put some dentures in, will the muscle stiffness on the top plate be relieved?”
“… … haha.”
“But what can I do? You have to work hard with what you have.”
She turned the TV channels while chewing the mint in a very relaxed manner. Even when she moved the prosecution to hit me in the neck, I never thought that the day would come when we would sit face to face again.
“Minister Han, when I see you, I want you to come so far with your bare hands. Even if it’s a little wobbly. How can you be so persistent?”
“It’s a kick… … That’s an appropriate expression.”
“A guy should have a gonzo like that. Don’t bullshit like a yamsaeng. Even if I cut the back of my head, be honest. uh?”
Perhaps it was funny that he said it, the old man giggled in a windy voice.
What followed the laughter was straightforward.
“They break the vested interests of eating together. Now when I see you and your friends eating together, it’s a little unfair.”
“Aren’t we still elected by elections? In the past, the election was rather delayed-”
“I don’t need excuses.”
She made a very strict expression.
“Politicians talk about achievements.”
subsequent cynicism.
“So I have nothing to say.”
turn it off She let out a sigh and got up from her exhausted body. The helpless footsteps headed towards the window of the hotel. Under the dark night sky, a brilliant city was shining.
“… … ”
Silence followed for a moment.
I don’t know what her intentions were when she came to me. At least, looking down at the night view of the city, her back looked a little lonely.
And, with a touch of remorse, the one who once led this country speaks.
“I, indeed, killed a lot.”
“… … .”
“I can’t curse when I see something so bright.”
She turned halfway back and glanced at me, then smirked. Maybe it was her own way of saying thank you, I thought.
Maybe that’s how she felt, she came back in front of me again.
I opened my mouth carefully.
“… … haha. Do you think the deputy is still interested in politics-”
“Hunters’ Cho Jin-dam?”
“Who is it?”
“Everyone knows.”
A sudden shove seems to be a tactic used by old politicians.
Either way, it’s bad for your mental health.
I responded with a hospitality smile.
“It’s a transitional period for the 3rd generation hunter, so there are adjustments like this and that, so people in the world seem a little misunderstood.”
“Pass the greetings between people you know.”
“Yes.”
“I’m going to try the Jeonbuk branch this time. how. Won’t you cooperate?”
“Oh, yes. I will support you.”
“Anyway, the dwarf… … .”
and slurred slurred words.
“A minister. A little… … Let’s see it big.”
“What do you mean?”
“If you are going to kill the Hunters, kill them properly. This is it. Even if it’s a small business, you can solve it with your own little effort. If you catch a large corporation alone and get scratched, you get poisoned and die.”
Her gloomy eyes became more serious.
My voice, which used to be gentle, is gradually becoming dry. Maybe it’s the same on the face.
“… … Are you going to help regulate the PMC of large corporations?”
“Samsung and LG are the same. Wasn’t GS your gang?”
To be sure, I had to move somewhat cautiously to touch Mr. Chun. Meaningful regulations do not work. Because that naughty rabbit was sure to run away quickly.
If so, I have two options.
Whether the GS defense agency’s monopoly position in the industry was neglected, or at one point –
did you kill
“… … .”
A rather extreme ‘adjustment’ could not be avoided.
“Are you saying you want me to hold the sword instead?”
“The point is, yes.”
“It’s a prosecutor… … .”
Roh Tae-woo government. war on crime. A powerful pain prosecutor who beat up a gangster even with a cut on his face. And a strong career that continues to this day after acting as the President of the Ministry of Justice.
The reason Won Ok-Boon treated the prosecution organization like a limb was not just because he was a high-ranking jockey.
She was a legendary swordsman in her own right, and the one who fulfilled the dream of all prosecutors to be a prosecutor-turned-president.
And that is reason enough for the prosecution to still be loyal to Won Ok-bun.
I started tapping the calculator.
“… … ”
If we can get active cooperation from the Korean prosecution organization.
If you can disperse the backlash against the Hunter regulation even a little.
If you could easily check in with a large company that dominates the industry and has acquired more force than necessary.
“… … Representative Won.”
Yesterday’s enemy is not enough business to be today’s friend.
“How can I show sincerity?”
“done. Because I’m not old enough for anyone to feed me yet.”
It was too shabby to say that he wasn’t old enough to get up from the sofa and shake.
The ambition in those cloudy eyes was too clear to say that he was old.
“me too… … I mean, I’m the type of person who takes care of my own rice bowl.”
Politician Won Ok-bun laughed.
It was the distorted smile of the face-impaired, but-
“Well, then, why don’t you just shake hands once?”
-Maybe this is the most her smile.

a few days after that.
A refreshing morning welcomed back to Sejong City. Since I was on a business trip to Jeju Island, the government officials made me a dedicated sleeping room.
Thanks to this, I was sipping a cup of coffee in the office in the morning and checking the news on the Internet. The photos taken by Won Ok-bun and I shaking hands are the main ones.
Write articles quietly orally.
“In the past, there was a conflict due to misunderstandings, but the misunderstanding was resolved with a minister. Now is the time to move forward for the sake of government… … .”
Turn off the screen and put the phone face down.
“ha… … .”
The mind is complicated. While I was washing my face dry for a while, I heard Pi Chae-won’s calm voice from behind my shoulder.
“What did you say?”
“I put it on the show right away.”
“… … Is it consensual action?”
The answer ends with a light nod of the head. My head is too dizzy to say something out of my mouth. What the hell is going on under the surface of the water.
“Chaewon-ah. TV.”
“Gigi. Turn on the TV.”
“… … !”
TV turned on.
When I asked Pi Chae-won to turn on the TV, the guy talked to the TV, and the TV turned on.
It is a two-fold command system.
I looked at him with wide-open eyes.
“Are you subcontracting the TV key now? … ? Hell Joseon.”
“… … You call it the fourth industrial revolution.”
Pi Chae-won smiled softly and continued.
“Gigi. Play 24 times.”
“… … .”
“Ginny. 24 times.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
When the AI did not answer, Pi Chae-won walked shyly and turned on number 24 with the remote control.
Immediately, the announcer’s voice came out.
[…] … five o’clock in the morning. An out-of-the-box chase took place in the middle of a residential complex in Gangneung. Twenty-four vehicles were destroyed and various buildings were damaged, which is estimated to have caused about 11.6 billion won in property damage.]
“… … .”
[Fortunately, there were no civilian casualties, but given that the damage caused by the magistrates’ radical suppression occurred for several weeks in a row-]
Without saying a word, I reached out my hand, and Pi Chae-won put the phone on my palm. I called right away.
“… … hello.”
[Uh, uh, uh! Sah, my dear brother! Long time no see-]
“Slapped confessions out of nowhere. What is this.”
[What, what?]
“What country’s custom is to check the 11.6 billion bills on the news?”
[…] … Republic of Korea?]
“this-“
For a moment, the mental cord was cut off, and a crab bubble was about to come out of his mouth.
cock. cock.
Pi Chae-won’s finger pierced my back.
The guy’s expression was not serious, so I ended the call.
“… … done. Let’s meet and talk about the rest.”
[…] … Can’t we just look at it once?]
“Cut it off.”
[hey. hey. Wait a minute. hang up-]
Dump – !
“okay. What’s going on?”
“that… … some TV… … .”
Pi Chae-won, who had an unfamiliar expression on her face, pointed her finger at the TV screen.
[…] … After the meeting between former acting authority Won Ok-bun and Minister of Portrait Management Han Seung-moon. An analysis shows that Won Ok-bun’s approval rating for Jeonbuk governor has risen by at least 7% to a maximum of 16%-]
[…] … The general consensus is that it is highly likely to act as a variable that no one expected. Some call this the Han Seung-moon effect-]
[…] … Eh, what is it? There are preferences of the people that are not understood by the politicians. In fact, in a regionalist structure, it is the only one with a national support base-]
this election.
It was a moment that no one could have expected.
