Episode 126: The King’s Law
“After listening to you, teacher, I think it would be difficult to punish under the Wildlife Act. In the first place, it was not an intention to kill a bird, but an artistic act.”
“That’s right. The bird’s death was an unavoidable accident.”
“And obstruction of business? This is also nonsense. I think it would be right to not prosecute.”
“That’s right. Now it makes sense.”
Until then, I had been smiling and talking, but suddenly, my expression darkened and I let out an exaggerated sigh.
“But I still think we should prosecute him.”
“why?”
“Because I’m going to get a bad order from my boss. He told me to definitely prosecute this. I’m a rookie prosecutor, so I can’t do what I want.”
I said, pointing to an empty desk. Noh Cheon-seong followed my gaze and looked at Manager Han Jae-sik’s desk.
“Where is that? If there is no guilt, it is right to not prosecute.”
“They say the law has no eyes. I understand that you are being treated unfairly, but if we follow the law, we have to prosecute you.”
“No, what the hell is this nonsense!”
I pretended to think and then spoke.
“What if we try a public opinion war?”
“Public opinion war?”
“No matter how much they follow the law, if public opinion rises, the prosecution cannot do as it pleases. They have to be careful when indicting, and they have to be careful when sentencing.”
“Really?”
“Of course. If we tell the world about your grievances, wouldn’t public opinion change?”
“hmm.”
“You’ve already finished your water? Hey, have another cup.”
“Oh, right.”
As No Cheon-seong was getting up to pour water into an empty cup, he naturally discovered the business card he had dropped on the ground.
“Oh my, this fell here.”
“What is that?”
“This is a business card of a journalist I know.”
“Are you a reporter?”
“Yes. I’m a regular reporter. I was supposed to give you an exclusive interview anyway… … .”
No Cheon-seong, who was picking up the business card, became lost in thought, elongating the end of his words.
“You said public opinion is important?”
“yes.”
“Hmm. I guess there might be a way?”
No Cheon-seong flapped his wings vigorously, not even knowing that he was caught in my net.

And then the internet went crazy.
It started out small, with just one tiny article.
The group that threw the firewood there was an animal rights group called ‘Animal Guardians’. One of their members posted about the incident on their community.
└ Isn’t this a fabrication?
└ Maybe not. What kind of living bird poses so beautifully?
└ Are you crazy? That’s the art of photography. Is this your first time hearing about capturing the moment?
└ No way. If it’s true, it’s so cruel.
└ It might be a fake bird.
At first, there were many people who said, “How could that be?”, “No way?”, and “It’s a fabrication.”
The community was further enraged when the member in question provided evidence photos of the object and a photo of a tree branch with feathers messily stuck to it with glue, explaining how they were obtained.
The one who added fuel to the fire was an idol. Dani, a bird-loving idol who currently raises a birdcage and loves birds so much that she is called a “bird girl” by her fans.
Dani showed tears while denouncing the atrocity of posing with a bird glued to it and taking a picture on her Instagram Live, and the scene became a meme and went around.
In an instant, Dani’s fandom raised its voice, and internet articles focused on click-baiting poured out indiscriminately.
Then, the news that had been a short story suddenly appeared on the front page, was on the 9 o’clock news, and was followed by follow-up reports.
Some articles focused on animal cruelty, while others highlighted the reckless behavior of some photographers in their quest to get a good shot.
No Cheon-seong claimed his innocence, saying, “It was something all photographers have always done,” but his fellow photographers and the photography association drew a clear line.
The one who fanned the flames again and made them burn fiercely when they were just beginning to die down was none other than Noh Cheon-seong himself.
, which published an exclusive interview with Noh Cheon-seong, made the title so clever that people couldn’t help but click on it.
And the content is.
“I feel wronged. This was all for art. I hope that everyone, as mature citizens, will see this as art.”
Naturally, the community was on fire again.
└ Are you crazy? Look at it as art, okay?
└ He is a man who would even commit murder for art.
└ The message contained within is important. The echo of a dead bird.
└ But why is Daemyung still using that kid’s photo?
└ I think you said you would wait until the guilty verdict was reached
└ He was already found guilty by the citizens and burned at the stake. What are you talking about?
└ Daemyung, take note!
And around this time, Daemyung’s ‘Together with Nature’ advertisement with his photo became the target. The advertisement started to appear for about two days, but that alone was a big blow. The follow-up article that Daemyung Group’s public relations team hurriedly put out was.
It was news that Daemyung, who was surprised and said, “Oh my, it’s hot!”, cut off his hand.
In fact, no matter how much public opinion was in the air, the probability of Noh Cheon-seong receiving a prison sentence was low. Of course, he would not be released as innocent, but at best he would be fined. It would have been difficult for him to be found guilty of obstruction of business.
However, Daemyung Group’s lawsuit is a different story.
How could they have the nerve to sign a contract with manipulated photos? Even a lawyer would be shocked by a company like Daemyung Group.
Anyway, when I thought about No Cheon-seong getting his deposit refunded, I felt like my ten-year-old pent-up anger was going to go away. If I can’t get a guilty verdict, I should at least get a ‘guilty verdict refund’.
His picture was featured on TV and in newspapers. It would have been nice if the incident had ended there. Unfortunately, this incident did not have a happy ending for our religious law department.
The new fangirl ‘New Girl’ Dani. She did another Instagram live. She expressed her gratitude for the increased interest in this case and animal rights protection, and also thanked the police and prosecutors for investigating this case.
The problem was that her pronunciation was so bad that she was teased about it even in normal times. When she rapped, she sounded exotic and swaggered, but when she spoke normally, it wasn’t like that.
Even though he is a pure native Korean, when he searched for ‘Dani’ on the Internet, related search terms such as ‘Saedukhu’, ‘Saesonyeo’, ‘Gugwanjo’, and ‘Dani nationality’ appeared along with them.
Dani’s tearful thanks in a state of heightened emotion became a hot topic.
“Thank you so much to all the police officers, especially the police officers from the Hungsa Department of the Gaemyeongseo. Sob, sob. There were prosecutors who dug into this first and investigated it. Prosecutor Cho Byung-hyung of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office! Thank you!”
If you leave this new bait alone, you are not a Korean netizen. Not only did the internet get flooded with newly created memes and shorts, but the community was also rekindled.
└ Was there a Jo Byeong-bu in our country?
└ In fact, there are job-seeking people everywhere. In companies and schools.
└└ The theory of all things in the universe. Hahaha
└ This is the Supreme Court.
└ Are there still kids who believe that the pronunciation of Dani is ancient? This is a lawbreaker.
└└ This is the Supreme Court.
└ Is there a judicial department? The name is strange.
└└ Okay, it’s an abbreviation.
└ Abbreviation: ㅇㅈㄹ. What did the Ministry of Justice abbreviate?
└ The Jongbeopbungbinida.
└ Since it is a department for birds, I guess it is called the Department of Birds and Bird Law.
└└ The Jongbeopbungbinida.
└ Who the hell is that Jongbeopbungmusae?
└└ The Jongbeopb Bbungbinida.
So, for a while, everyone was looking for the missing person.

Vice President Nam Woo-joong pressed his head against his throbbing neck. That was because he had been harassed by both sides since morning.
First up is the prosecutor’s office.
– What is a jo-boo-bu, a jo-boo-bu?
– That’s because people pronounce it wrong. It was originally the Comprehensive Legal Investigation Team.
– Are you calling that a word? Change your name right now.
– But it hasn’t even been a month since the Comprehensive Legal Investigation Department was created.
– Is that time important? The image of the prosecution is more important! Do you understand?
Next is Director Heo of Ogeum Group.
– Didn’t you just decide to bury it somewhere out of sight until people’s interest died down?
– yes.
– Do you know that all the news these days is about Jo Byeong-bu?
– Sir, I’m sorry to interrupt you, but it’s not the Ministry of Justice, it’s the Ministry of the Interior and Safety…
– Does that matter now?
Why is everyone just shouting ‘What’s important?’?
– What are you going to do if you keep raising a guy like this who won’t be able to handle it even if you step on him little by little when he loses interest?
I’m not the one raising you!
How can you call yourself a child and grow up all by yourself without even giving it water?
Although I was screaming inside, I couldn’t even open my mouth to tell Director Heo. All I could do was lie flat on my stomach and bow my head.
“Sir, did you call?”
Nam Woo-joong, who had been pressing his head, gestured for Gong Si-hyung, who had just opened the door and come in, to sit down.
Right now, I didn’t have the energy to use sophisticated psychological tactics like calling people over and cleaning up the mess. I just sat on the sofa and waited.
“Whatever you want to say.”
Gong Si-hyung asked with a bright smile. Nam Woo-joong sighed.
If it was the former Chief Kim Jong-hyeok, he would have known what he was thinking without him saying anything. If he saw something different from usual or if he looked uncomfortable, he would have immediately asked, “What’s wrong?” or “Are you okay?”
Kim Jong-hyeok and Jeong Min-gu, who were like tongues in a mouth, were blown away by the Hwang Dae-bong prosecutor reception incident. The empty seats were filled here and there, and the empty seats filled like that were filled by other people.
As he continued to fill in, Gong Si-hyung became the head prosecutor of the 8th criminal division. It was a position that was originally held by Chief Han Jae-sik.
He was the last to become a captain in his own class, so he was full of motivation and spared no effort to please Nam Woo-jung.
I was thinking of using him as a new right-hand man to fill the spot left by Kim Jong-hyuk, but Coach Hwang is really clueless.
Nam Woo-joong, trying hard to suppress his annoyance, gave instructions.
“Let’s push more cases into the Ministry of Justice, no, the Ministry of Justice.”
“The incident? That’s something the manager is going to handle.”
“… … .”
“… … ?”
“Do I have to divide it up one by one without showing off? Huh?”
“ah.”
Oh my, what do I do with that guy, that thing?
“Send it to the Department of Justice, tightly packed.”
“There are still a lot of people sending them there… …, yes. I will do that.”
“Since you have time to spare, you go around investigating the scene and poking around here and there. Just dump the case into the dump truck!”
“all right!”
I thought I was showing my sincerity by lowering my head as if it was touching the table, but to Nam Woo-joong, even the back of my head looked ugly. It would have been much better if Kim Jong-hyuk had been there.
Nam Woo-jung was even more passionate about fighting against the sword that blew away Kim Jong-hyuk.

Manager Han Jae-sik, who was typing each character using the Eagle Typing Method, said with annoyance.
“Hey, why is everyone making a fuss over the name?”
“What is your name?”
“Because of that singer who goes around and around, the internet is full of talk about Cho Bubbu.”
“What am I saying? You shouldn’t be upset about something like that. He’s the one who said thank you to us.”
“Is this how I should repay your kindness?”
Manager Han Jae-sik snapped. It seems like it’s going to be more chaotic since I stopped playing meditation music. Should I just tell them to play it again?
“I’ve been going around since morning leaving comments saying it’s the Jongbeopbu, but it’s no use.”
“Huh? Are South Korean prosecutors manipulating public opinion right now?”
“Why is this manipulating public opinion, Inma? It’s correcting false information.”
“Even so, it would be useless.”
“What the hell is a magpie? You’re calling me a magpie?”
“What is a bungsae? This is the first time I’ve heard of it. I know what a bungsae is, though.”
Wi Jun-woo, who had been listening from the side, came over and pretended to know.
“That’s what they call repeating the same thing over and over again like a parrot. Just adding “parrot” to the end of a word.”
“Oh, was that it?”
“As expected, both of you are old and don’t know such things.”
Manager Han Jae-sik spoke to Wi Jun-woo, who was laughing and giggling without being able to read the mood.
“Manager, I guess you’re not very busy?”
“No, I’m busy. Very busy.”
Manager Han Jae-sik, who was watching Wi Jun-woo quickly return to his seat, put his hands on the keyboard again.
“Hey guys, let’s see who wins. It’s the Jongbeopbu. Jongbeopbungbini… … . Ah, what a typo!”
A man in his mid-40s was fighting fiercely in the comments with kids with acne.
