THE TRUTH BENEATH

Korea Party nominee

KIM Jong-Chan.

And 4-term independent

candidate NOH Jae-soon.

In Daesan, a stronghold

of the ruling party,

the 21st General Election

will usher in

a generational change,

or a change of parties.

Look at all of you.

Nice effort!

Love that enthusiasm!

Bet you had a lucky dream

last night?

Welcome, y'all!

Come on in.

Welcome, sir!

Campaign Manager?

Keep up the good work!

Congressman, this is my mother.

Oh, my!

How do you do?

NOH Jae-soon

Dad, it's NOH Jae-soon again.

He never quits, does he?

Min-jin!

Imagine working 16 years

for a guy like him?

For 16 years

you kissed my ass,

and now the whole party's

gone over to you.

That's the level

of our congressmen.

Watch yourself, Jong-Chan.

Sir, I heard about

your daily wake up calls.

So it's really true!

Who's that?

Say hi to everyone!

I had the speaker phone

turned on, sir!

How do you do, sir?

Hello!

Mom, I'll be late tonight.

What? You'll be late?

I need to finish

my group art assignment.

Look me in the eye.

I'm doing it with Jahye.

From today, you and Dad

will be real busy,

so I'm going to shape up

and not cause trouble.

Then pin Jahye's number

to your memo board.

So what birthday present

do you want from Grandma?

Birthday Event So what birthday

present do you want from Grandma?

That's okay,

you don't need to buy one.

Grandma, I want

100 million won.

Anyway, I'm planning on

throwing her a party.

You're going to win.

In Daesan, when the

Korea Party primary is over,

people say

the election's over, too.

KIM JONG-CHAN The Korea Party people

say the election's over, too.

So there's not much campaigning

for the main election.

Candidate #1 KIM Jong-Chan So there's not

much campaigning for the main election.

But this year,

circumstances are different.

Let's go to Sinsung District

in Daesan.

This place is the focus of attention

after famous TV personality

KIM Jong-Chan unexpectedly

captured his party's nomination.

The district previously served as

a reliable source of votes

Candidate #5 NOH Jae-soon The district

previously served as a reliable source of votes

for four-term lawmaker

NOH Jae-soon.

Sure enough, the Korea Party's

primary was a shocker.

Candidate #5!

Pundits see it as a strategy

of MOON Hyun-sung,

who is considering a

presidential run next year.

- Candidate #1!

- KIM Jong-Chan!

- A new generation!

- KIM Jong-Chan!

- A new politics!

- KIM Jong-Chan!

- Candidate #1!

- KIM Jong-Chan!

- A new generation!

- KIM Jong-Chan!

- A new politics!

- KIM Jong-Chan!

- Candidate #1!

- KIM Jong-Chan!

- A new generation!

- KIM Jong-Chan!

The number you've dialed

cannot be connected.

Please leave a message

at the tone.

Jahye

You have the wrong number.

But, Jahye...

Do you know a girl

named Jahye?

No, there's no one

named Jahye here.

Min-jin's Monster Mom

She's not here.

I said she's not here!

God...

No, we haven't hung out

for over a year!

She's having fun

with her lover!

Jahye?

Never heard of her.

Hello?

Honey!

There's a problem.

Min-jin hasn't

come home yet.

Oh, my.

NOH Jae-soon's making

trouble on his site.

If we report her missing,

then she comes back, we'll have

stirred up rumors for nothing.

And it's not the first time

she's run off.

She's been fine for 3 months.

She's quite the flirt.

The boys must find her

mighty sexy.

Watch what you say

about that girl.

Did you hear something?

Well, my ears ain't

stuffed with cotton.

These photos are all

from two years ago.

She had a fight with

her friends about something,

a schoolmate reported her,

and these were taken.

Where the heck

did he find these?

Are you really from

Jeolla Province?

Yes.

Well...

It ain't a sin, is it?

Lighten up ma'am!

Come over here.

Right, lighten up!

She promised me

she wouldn't do it again.

But Jahye's number

was a fake,

and her phone's

still turned off.

Well, look at yourself...

You conceal your hometown,

and ambush us like this?

You know how bad this

regional rivalry is.

Who's ambushing who?

Are you crazy?

You think we'd just announce it?

What are you so angry for?

I ain't angry, it's you

who aren't making sense!

- Who are you to...?

- All the decisions here...

are made by me.

Listen up, shitheads!

Is this your campaign?

I know it's sensitive, but let's

wait another day for Min-jin.

I'll protect our children.

I'll protect our children. This

is your main campaign promise.

Let's wait one more day.

No!

She didn't even bring

an umbrella to school!

Are you willing to lose

the election over this?

You won't lose because

your daughter ran off!

We can't underestimate NOH.

Once he latches on,

he'll keep using this for sure.

Right. She'll be back.

Her image is important, too.

That's no reason to worry.

My goal isn't to be

a Korea Party member.

There's a Jeolla proverb,

'A couple who buries their child

spends a passionate

night together.'

Meaning that if a child dies,

the parents will

make another one.

A child's death

won't kill the parent.

The Korea Party

milks you until you're dry.

Then, they'll simply

find a replacement.

If we join forces later,

people will feel betrayed.

Are you comfortable with that?

Wife

Don't be scared.

War is waged with a smile.

If you launch a new party,

will you step down as leader?

Jahye

It's 'Jahye.'

Jahye.

I don't know her last name.

Third year, 11th class.

Same height as Min-jin,

her father's a public servant.

She has tortoise shell glasses,

long legs...

Her hair's always messy.

And she's great at drawing.

Did you see her?

They're best friends.

I mean, did you see her,

or talk on the phone?

No.

My daughter said

she's a great student.

Ma'am, do you know a

BAE Ok-soon?

Jahye's number...

it's the number of Ms. BAE Ok-soon.

Lives in Gyeonggi Province.

No.

I don't know her.

Why is KIM Jong-Chan hiding

his wife's hometown?

These phone numbers here,

they're the kids my

daughter hung out with.

They're all low-grade kids.

If it's of any help...

Except for a hit-and-run homicide,

there were no incidents that night.

Where was the hit-and-run?

An outer road by

the New Town construction.

The victim was a male,

not from here.

Do you happen to know

a girl CHOI Mi-ok?

- CHOI Mi-ok?

- Yes.

No.

In telephone records,

the person Min-jin called most

wasn't Jahye, it was this girl.

CHOI Mi-ok, Sinsung Middle School.

Grade 3, Class 7.

Never heard of her...

Is there any problem

with Min-jin?

Same height as Min-jin.

Tortoise shell glasses.

Long legs, hair always messy.

A civil servant father...

that's you.

KIM Yeon-Hong A civil servant father...

that's you.

No, she said Jahye was

a really great artist.

I can't draw, honey.

Then who's Jahye?

Jahye Piano School

I'm sorry.

There's no Jahye

in Min-jin's school.

And no girl whose father

is a public servant.
