You Are Defended - Chapter 561



Only Noblemtl

Episode 561

“Hello, everyone. Hello. Yes, hello. Yes. Welcome.”

Is it because they said they would post the next broadcast announcement on the site before wrapping up the previous broadcast?

The number of viewers waiting before Jo Bong-jun and Choi Jong-hyun appeared has increased significantly.

As usual, the two people who sat down in front of the camera late were busy greeting the new viewers.

[dongjoon ryu: There was a fuss about the juvenile drug offender actually being a perpetrator of school violence. Is that the topic for today?

Who asked this? Hwang Hyun-hee: Hahahahahaha, honestly, there were quite a few posts saying that it wasn’t a bully, to the point where I wondered if it was really necessary to explain it. Hahaha

ㅗ명화약ㅗ: If that youth is a perpetrator of school violence, then of course he should be punished, but isn’t it true that ㅊㅅㅇㅈ used the child?

sldjqlan: It’s a bit much to assume that ㅊㅅㅇㅈ used the kid… It could be other people, not ㅊㅅㅇㅈ, and it could actually have nothing to do with the dump truck, but it could just have happened to overlap;;]

With so much information pouring in over the past few days, people now seem to be wondering what the truth is.

“I’m working hard on the coverage, so please keep watching, everyone. But I have a question.”

Jo Bong-jun tilted his head as he looked through the chats.

“Just like in the last broadcast, looking at the chats, there are some nicknames that I’m familiar with from the old platform. Of course, there are many nicknames that seem to be names registered on Google. What happened to those who are still the same?”

[Handsome lawyer reappears..: I want you to recognize me, so I change my Google nickname when I come to this broadcast.

ㅗ명화제약ㅗ: ㅇㅇI’ve been chatting with this nickname since the first broadcast with the hyungs, so I hope you recognize me since I’m a spectator

Who is this? Hwang Hyun-hee: I thought the hyungs would be curious about how many of the existing viewers would come, so I did it on purpose…

Song Su-ro: I originally used the same nickname on all platforms.

I want to eat gwamegi: I used to get a lot of things right on TV shows, so I was worried that I would get asked for it again… (Sorry if I’m being too self-conscious)

Give me the card Cherry: I’ll find out too hehe]

“Hey, thank you for caring about our feelings. But you really did set us back to our old nicknames, so we felt relieved that our old friends were still watching us.”

Choi Jong-hyun said several times that he was glad to see so many familiar nicknames after the broadcast a few days ago.

“But didn’t you say that you didn’t come to see me when I was broadcasting about the economy or stocks because it was boring?”

Jo Bong-jun asked, counting the days.

[Give me the card value Cherry: It’s not me lol]

“You’re right. I remember that too.”

[Give me the card value Cherry: I think you got the wrong person..ㅎ]

“Can’t you even call boring something boring?”

“Oh, my portfolio isn’t bad.”

Jo Bong-jun whetted his appetite.

[Apollo Devotee: Guys, we already have 5,000 viewers…

Minwoo’s Tears: In the past, there were ten thousand viewers… no, it was almost ten thousand. It may seem like a small number because I got a taste of the high back then, but there are really a lot on YouTube…

Jeong A Papa: Can we start now? I’m really curious….ㅎㅎ]

In my previous life, I never checked how many viewers a YouTube live stream had to have to be considered large.

Sometimes I see articles saying ten thousand or twenty thousand people.

That’s as of 2018, so five thousand would certainly be a remarkable number by now.

I winked at Choi Jong-Hyeon and Jo Bong-Jun, whose greed was reaching the sky.

If you try to attract more viewers, you might lose public support.

“Our PD told us to stop being greedy and start quickly.”

Kim Jung-woo, who had been quiet, raised both hands in disbelief, and I suddenly became a PD.

“Okay, everyone. Actually, we had a topic we originally prepared while wrapping up the last broadcast, so we were going to go straight into that topic when we started today. But starting on Monday, I think… … . Did you notice that strange messages suddenly started popping up? Many viewers mentioned it in the chat.”

[Choi Jong-hyun’s wig: That youth bully theory!!!!!

shin jongho: Oh, so this is where we start

I want to eat gwamegi : But I have to think about this carefully

I want to eat gwamegi: If I can’t properly explain the Iljin theory, my hyungs might get a backlash

I want to eat gwamegi: Even if that youth was a bully, it’s a fact that the lawyers called him in anyway, so there’s no need to explain it on this show. It’s not like there’s a problem with the hyungs’ claims.

I want to eat gwamegi: Of course, I want that young man to be cleared of the charges if he was wrongly accused.

I want to eat gwamegi : But I’m worried that I’ll get criticized for being a youth shield and getting caught up in the older guys’ arguments;;]

“Gwamegi has been suspicious from the beginning. He sees through the essence very precisely. In fact, we also had concerns about how to deal with this youth. As Gwamegi said, I thought that the sudden emergence of this youth bullying theory was an attempt to obscure the essence.”

I wasn’t just thinking about it, I was certain of it.

That viewer is right.

If we fail to provide proper evidence, we will be seen as defending perpetrators of school violence.

However, that does not mean we can just ignore the tarnishing of Son Jeong-min’s reputation.

The Angel’s House side had already brought up Eom Seong-yoon during the police investigation.

So, someday, Seongyoon’s story will come to light.

Seongyoon and Jeongmin are in a position where they have no choice but to be tied together.

If you can’t take Jeongmin with you, you can’t save Seongyoon.

“That’s right. Whether or not the youth was a school bully, it’s true that we called in the lawyers at Munyeok Station. We believe that the youth was incited by someone to do something like that, and that someone must have prepared a dump truck at Munyeok Station.”

“When we covered this case, we covered it under the assumption that the young person in question knew nothing. And that was the same when we talked to the attorneys.”

[xmdsla: That’s why it’s a problem to look down on them as teenagers and stuffㅋㅋㅋㅋ

wbnqlao: In the end, aren’t you trying to say that he didn’t know anything because he was still a minor? There’s no way that a kid who beat up his school friends wouldn’t know anything. Kids these days know everything…ㅋㅋ

I want to eat gwamegi: Regardless of what the teenager was thinking when he did that, I wanted to say that if the older brothers were trying to relieve the teenager of his grievances, it could be poisonous to them…ㅠ

ㅗ명화약ㅗ: That’s right, it might seem like the hyungs are defending the perpetrators of school violence…]

“Of course, as many people are concerned, it is possible that they knew that the young man was participating in the murder plan and did it. But we will not assume that until everything is revealed. The presumption of innocence is not something that should be observed only by investigative agencies.”

[qnljakz: It’s like the principle of presumption of innocence, lol. Then why do you keep giving subtle hints while calling me cownew? You’re saying it’s the principle of presumption of innocence, lol.

kioms: You’re saying something so blatant that it reminds me of a certain company, what the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

“Hey, here we go again with that cownew thing. If we had given up the principle of presumption of innocence, we would have already disclosed the names of the daycare centers and companies. And do you think this case is the same? We have already encountered several cases where lawyers who were victims were threatened by certain forces. Did this youth have a similar criminal record? No? Even if he did, we don’t know at this stage. It seems like they are trying to push it in their own way, but we won’t fall for such tricks.”

[Baby Squirrel Jonghyun: Why are you responding to all that aggro~~~ Let’s just ignore itㅋㅋㅋ]

“The reason I’m answering this is simple. If you ignore that and just let it go, there are people who go around saying that they’re doing it because they feel something hurt.”

“Anyway, I think that’s been answered sufficiently, but let me say a little more. The reason we’re going to cover the school violence perpetrator theory of this youth is simple. While covering the unreleased material, we came across several stories related to this youth. After hearing those, we concluded that it was highly unlikely that this youth knew anything about it.”

“And let me say this in advance, that youth was clearly a victim. But then, all of a sudden, you started saying that that youth was a perpetrator of school violence and that it was okay for him to be a victim?”

That’s another one that Wooshin was after.

The first was to render Son Jeong-min’s statement unreliable.

And secondly, even if it is true that Son Jeong-min was abused, it is justifying the harm done by Angel House by saying that it was deserved.

“We do not want the fact that the youth was a victim to be covered up. If he is the perpetrator, he should be held accountable. However, according to our investigation, those who claim to have been the perpetrators only have claims and almost no evidence. There are already quite a few posts saying that the youth was not a bully. We will make that clear and move on.”

[I want to eat gwamegi: If my brothers say that much, I won’t worry

I want to eat gwamegi: You know? I’m not saying that to pick on you, I’m just saying it because I’m really worriedㅠ]

“I know, I know. Okay, without further ado, let’s look at the materials and talk about it.”

At the same time as Jo Bong-jun’s signal, Kim Jeong-woo displayed the image data on the screen.

Important text was also highlighted for easy viewing at a glance.

“From now on, I will refer to this youth as A. I will refer to the perpetrator of school violence as a bully, so I will refer to him as a bully. These images are a collection of writings by people who claim that A is a bully. Some of you may have already seen them.”

People who posted the article usually indicated the school name and Son Jeong-min’s name with the initials, but the name was already mentioned openly in the comments section.

So, I mosaic-processed that part as well.

“If you look at the evidence presented by those who claim that A is a bully, there was a student who was beaten by A. However, they say that they did not convene the school violence committee because they felt sorry for A, who was in a daycare center. They asked for a medical certificate to be verified, but there has been no news yet. There are also claims that A smoked, drank, and extorted money. However, if you look here, the locations where people said they witnessed A’s misconduct are consistent. Let’s gather this information and look at it.”

[There’s a small park called ㅎㅂ공원 nearby, and everyone who knows them knows that they’re always drinking and picking fights with middle schoolers passing byㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s to the point where you wonder if A lives there]

[I was studying at the reading room in front of ㅎㅂ Park and got robbed by A on my way home…lol]

[The group gathered at ㅎㅂ Park is famousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They call themselves ㅎㅂ파ム on Facebookㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They were smoking while wearing their school uniforms so openly that my dad told them not to do that, but instead got cursed atㅋㅋㅋ]

[The HBP members are famous. All the school bullies from that area gather there… It’s really scary… Judging from the HBP members talking, all the verifications are real]

“There’s a place that’s commonly mentioned. It seems like that’s where the bullies hang out. If they’ve been seen there so often, wouldn’t it be game over if we asked the group that lives in that park if they know Student A? At least we could tell if those testimonies are true or fake. So, we went there! Let’s watch the video together.”

* * *

Three days before the broadcast.

Choi Jong-hyun and Cho Bong-jun were heading to Hanbit Park, also known as ‘H-B Park’, which commonly appears in articles arguing Son Jeong-min’s theory of Iljin.

Since they say that this is a den of local bullies, Cha Ju-han sent his employees ahead to prepare for any eventuality.

It’s not that I’m scared at all.

The staff members looked so fierce that I usually told them to follow me without being noticed, but today, they were as reliable as ever.

“There’s no one here?”

A staff member who was loitering around the park entrance said.

“Let’s go in a little further. The park is bigger than I thought?”

“I saw that internet article and it said it was definitely there from 9pm to 12am.”

“What high school kids don’t go home until midnight? Don’t their parents say anything?”

“I guess he’ll just lie there and do it.”

They entered the park.

I had only gone in a little further, but the smell of cigarettes was already overwhelming my nostrils.

It said no smoking at the entrance.

As I looked around and went deeper, I finally started to see the students.

“Just over there.”

It was around the time I blurted out a word.

The students began to murmur as if they realized that strange adults had arrived.

Then, a large student suddenly stood up and blocked the two people’s path.

“Sir, what is it?”

Choi Jong-hyun looked over the student’s shoulder carefully.

Inside the park, a wide space lined with benches was bustling with young people.

About twenty, maybe more.

In the middle of the park, there were scooters and motorcycles, and liquor bottles were scattered about on the ground.

“Ah, don’t be so rude, Yoo Min-ho! Just tell him to pass.”

A student with a pink hair roller in her bangs giggled.

His speech became slurred as if he were drunk.

“I have something to ask you. First, could you put out your cigarette?”

As Choi Jong-hyun spoke with a smile, the students who had been sitting gathered around him as if they sensed a sense of crisis.

Then, the student who had been smoking stood awkwardly, spitting on the floor.

“What are you going to do if you don’t turn it off?”

As one student stuck his face out and started to snicker, the other students started laughing at the same time.

“But it’s on camera, so it’s a bit weird if you don’t turn it off. What if your parents see it?”

When Cho Bong-jun focused the camera he was holding on the student, the student frowned and shouted.

“What the heck? Turn it off! Oh, shit. Don’t turn it off?!”

He looked like he would immediately break the camera if it was taken away from him.

Jo Bong-jun raised his arm high to protect the camera.

Luckily, I was taller than the students and had longer arms, so I didn’t have to worry about my camera being snatched away.

“Student. I’m just going to ask you a few simple questions.”

At that moment, the employee who had been quietly standing behind Choi Jong-hyun and Jo Bong-jun stood in front of the student and spoke.

This employee’s nickname is Taesik Junior.

He had a physique and impression comparable to that of a fetus.

When I was 20, I spent some time in prison because I was a member of a group of social misfits.

They say he was a class leader even though he was young.

“I won’t take up too much of your time. Is it okay if I talk to you for a moment?”

The staff smiled kindly.

It was Miso who had previously advised Choi Jong-hyun that it looked better when he had a blank expression.

“… … .”

“Why is there no answer?”

“What, what do you want to ask?”

“I’ll ask you after you put out your cigarette.”

At the staff’s words, the gathered students began to throw their cigarettes on the floor one by one.

Then the employee spoke again with a heavenly smile.

“You can’t just throw it on the floor, right?”

“……yes.”

At the staff’s friendly (but seemingly sinister) voice, the neighborhood juvenile delinquents all picked up their cigarette butts and threw them into the trash can.

Looking at that scene, Choi Jong-hyeon whispered to Jo Bong-jun.

“Don’t include the photos up to here. Take photos from the beginning of the question.”

“Why? I gave you warm guidance.”

“What if they find out we brought gangsters here to play with kids?”

“That’s right.”

Jo Bong-jun quietly turned off the camera.
