40 – 40. Sniping (7)
– Hello. This is Lee Ha-seong, the ‘social sniper’ MC. First of all, before we start broadcasting, I would like to apologize. Originally, today, we wanted to provide in-depth coverage of the discharge of pollutants from a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant located in the Gyeongbuk region to accurately inform the public of the pain and injustice suffered by those affected. However, we would like to express our deepest apologies for having to change the order of reporting due to a specific incident that is currently becoming a social issue.
– Many people may have heard about it through articles, but recently, the story about a third-generation chaebol, commonly known as a ‘money pitcher,’ is rapidly spreading on social media. That person took advantage of his status as a socially powerful person and committed a senseless and unscrupulous act by throwing a bundle of cash in the face of the convenience store owner. The victim, the convenience store owner, is receiving both surgical treatment and psychiatric treatment, complaining of physical damage such as a torn face and mental pain to the point of avoiding people.
– He is an ordinary citizen who can be found anywhere in Korea, the head of a family, a husband who should be loved, and a father who should be respected, but his minimal dignity was trampled by ruthless and authoritarian power.
– Under the name of a capitalist society, countless people are still trampled by money and power. We decided to cover and report on this incident first to help those people. First, we will show you the video we obtained.
“You talk too much.”
Director Seo Woo-jin said while eating popcorn.
On the other hand, Dongsu, who delivered the popcorn, was anxious.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
Dongsu looked at Director Seo intently.
But he didn’t feel any tension at all.
When I received a call today, I thought he had been called for security purposes.
If the broadcast took place in the evening, it was obvious that reporters, private organizations, or passionate citizens would somehow find out about Seo Woo Jin’s house and cause trouble.
Of course, Dong-su and Geun-woo knew that it was Seo Woo-jin’s business from the moment the article was posted.
Because he was there with us.
They were the ones who cleaned up after Seo Woo Jin after he left.
Because we reached a good agreement and finalized the matter with the money we threw in.
But something like this suddenly happened.
As soon as the article appeared, I immediately rushed to the convenience store under the instructions of Director Hwang Jae-ha, but the door of the convenience store was already locked and the owner had disappeared.
How can I not use my hands?
It is a self-evident fact that if the matter gets bigger, the secretariat will be destroyed, so Director Hwang Jae-ha moved to receive instructions from above, but was told to just wait for the answer that came back.
But today.
I received a phone call from Director Seo Woo-jin in an urgent voice.
What I want is popcorn, not security.
What is popcorn in these times?
Are you the type of person who enjoys being f*cked?
I felt sick to my stomach, but I couldn’t bring myself to say those words.
“Hey. Where did you get this popcorn? “It tastes like honey.”
…?
Are you immature?
Or do you have no concept?
Now Dongsu has gone beyond the category of worry and has reached the level of doubt.
What happened then?
I wanted to know exactly.
Dong-su and Geun-woo went inside when the owner of the convenience store attacked Seo Woo-jin, but they didn’t know why he threw the money or why he held the hand of the female part-timer who was working for him.
At least one thing is certain,
It is true that it was Seo Woo-jin who threw money first.
But you can’t ask it outright.
I think we got a little closer by going to the club together, but Seo Woo Jin is definitely a chaebol.
There was no guarantee that Director Seo Woo-jin would feel the intimacy that Dong-su felt.
Playing a prank on a regular basis was a completely different matter than asking an embarrassing question in a serious situation like the present.
It may be an act that crosses the line.
While Dongsu was thinking like that, the CCTV footage from that time was playing on TV.
I saw Seo Woo Jin throwing money.
Hmm?
You threw really well?
I thought he threw well when I saw him in person, but when I saw him on TV, his form was so clean.
Seo Woo-jin smiled and asked Dong-su.
“Isn’t he almost like a baseball player? Is he a real pitcher? “It’s realistically impossible to become a professional, right? There’s such a thing as a baseball team for office workers, right?”
“…”
“No. “There are people who can be real pitchers.”
What do you mean?
As expected.
I think it’s true that there is no concept.
You’re saying something like that in this situation.
When I stabbed a professor like a dog at Yeonkwang University, my respect began to creep in.
I need to withdraw it immediately.
After taking a quick look at the situation, Dongsu felt like he needed to get a plane ticket.
To be honest, you will have to spend a few years abroad before coming back.
If it was just an assault, you could settle for money, but since it caused social controversy, it was something that could have been done to avoid harsh attention and criticism.
Black..
Ji-eun, how are you?
Looks like my brother is destined to hang out with a blonde beauty in Hawaii.
The moment Dongsu made up his mind to go abroad, the video ended.
However, only the appearance of throwing money several times was shown, and the convenience store owner was not shown running towards General Manager Seo Woo-jin.
What is it??
Director Seo Woo-jin opened his mouth as if he did not care about that at all.
“Wow. No joke. “Look at the comments.”
Dong-su and Geun-woo’s eyes turned to Seo Woo-jin’s open laptop.
Comments were popping up on the broadcasting station’s ‘social sniping’ bulletin board.
○ Isn’t this the first time the video has been released? It seems like you’re really throwing it like you’re going to kill me?
┖ It was seen that the molars were clenched.
┖ Potential murderer
┖ He may have already been killed.
○ What are you thinking about when you throw? Looks like Inseong is trash
┖ It seems like he grew up without a father.
┖ There seems to be no love
I immediately heard MC Lee Ha-seong’s voice, which made me forget the comment asking about my parents’ well-being.
– You cannot know what is happening through CCTV alone. Because your voice is not recorded on CCTV. What is certain, however, is that the man over there threw money at the convenience store owner. We had to find out. Why did this happen? So, we visited the convenience store where the accident occurred and interviewed the victim.
The screen changed, and the exterior of the convenience store where the incident occurred came into view.
Starting with the reporter’s common comment, the camera filmed the interior of the convenience store and even the location where the victim was standing at the time.
And immediately, the mosaicized face of a middle-aged man, that is, the convenience store owner, appeared on the screen.
A reporter wearing horn-rimmed glasses asked.
– Do you know why that man threw the money?
– I don’t know. What did I do so wrong? I was just trying to help with the calculations, but he started swearing all the time… I may have made a mistake. Points are different for each person. Even so, why use money to solve a problem that could be addressed in words? I really didn’t want to live in resentment.
– Do you know who this is?
– I didn’t know who the person who threw the money was until I met the reporter who covered this incident. I thought about reporting it to the police, but I couldn’t do it for fear of retaliation. I found out later that he was from a famous chaebol family. So he could not report further. He’s the one who did this to me so casually, but if I touched him wrong…
When the screen changed, MC Lee Ha-seong’s face appeared.
– Are you from a famous chaebol family? We were really curious who it was. So, I decided to meet with the reporter who originally posted the article to confirm.
When the screen switched again, a man with a stern face entered the screen.
– Hello. I am Hong Jin-dae, a freelance reporter who first covered this incident. I also learned about this incident through an anonymous tip. He said he was someone who observed the incident from the outside. While reporting, I got goosebumps. How can you do something like that to someone? While digging into the case, I discovered a surprising fact. The money that was thrown was real money. The amount of money alone was 30 million won. So, I thought the perpetrator was really someone with a lot of money, so I started investigating the conglomerates… And it turned out to be Seo Woo-jin from Seohwa Group.
MC Lee Ha-seong accepted the baton right away.
– Who is Seo Woo Jin? There is probably no one who does not know about Seohwa Group. A leading company in Korea. A large export company founded by Chairman Seo Chang-soo. It was his grandson. The victim who found out about the incident said she was unable to report it because she was afraid. However, with our mission as journalists, we ended up reporting Seo Woo Jin’s heartless actions in public.
MC Lee Ha-seong paused for a moment and then spoke in a concerned voice.
– However, unless you are actually involved, you cannot know the exact situation. So, let’s meet another witness, a part-time worker who was at the cash register at the time. Before that, I’m going to show you a video, and if you watch the video, you can see Seo Woo Jin forcibly holding his hand and trying to drag him out.
This time it was CCTV from a different angle.
A screen that only Seo Woo-jin and Yoon Yi-seo can see.
On that screen, the scene where Seo Woo Jin holds out his hand was shown at high speed.
As if trying to force his hand.
Also, the scene where Yoon Yi-seo extends his hand did not appear.
At that moment, my sister-in-law made a double curse.
“These bastards? “Do you edit it like that??”
Seo Woo-jin also spoke as if he was shocked.
“Is this truly the devil’s editing?”
My sister-in-law sighed and said, as if she couldn’t help it.
“..Director Seo. “Would you like to reserve a plane ticket?”
“What plane ticket?”
“Escape abroad..”
“What nonsense? Can’t you see the popcorn? Just wait a moment. Something interesting will happen.”
My sister-in-law asked as if she didn’t understand.
“Is it fun? “Is this the situation?”
“You don’t trust me?”
Dong-soo was thinking, ‘Can’t you understand the situation? ‘You idiot.’ Was all up in my throat, but I couldn’t say it because of Seo Woo Jin’s relaxed attitude.
“Now, the part-time worker is going to come out and talk… You know, but why would he come out? It’s probably already been bought. What I’m saying is that I’m going to testify against Director Seo. ..Ah? No way?”
My sister-in-law asked as if she suddenly realized something.
“You took care of it in advance, right? To that part-time worker. ..Wow, you are amazing.”
“No? “I know his contact information, but I’ve never contacted him before?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Yeah?”
“Of course, I wanted to contact her because she was pretty, but the timing was a bit off. I do not remember? After the incident happened that day, we went to a club and had fun right away, and the next day we went to Yeonkwang University again, but I was busy so I couldn’t contact you. But in the midst of that, this incident occurred.”
Why bother explaining it?
Then you should have called after the incident happened, right?
“No, then you should have contacted me quickly when the article broke, right? “Shouldn’t we definitely make it on the manager’s side in order to provide an explanation later?”
“No? If you contact me, there will be information left. What if I find out who contacted me later? “The very act of asking me to tell you honestly what happened is misleading.”
Seo Woo Jin Is this guy an asshole?
Why do you say bullsh*t so casually?
“What the hell do you mean?”
“There is such a thing. Men and horses.”
“Anyway, huh..?”
My sister-in-law was speechless.
This was because Yoon Yi-seo, who was a part-time worker, appeared in an elegant appearance on TV.
