[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 29th, in the tvN drama 'Secret Forest 2,' Jo Seung-woo asked Park Seong-geun for help regarding the arrest warrant for a jeonse fraud suspect.


On that day, Kang Won-cheol (Park Seong-geun) asked, "Is it Nam In-tae who didn't issue the arrest warrant for the jeonse fraud at the Western District Prosecutors' Office?" To this, Hwang Si-mok (Jo Seung-woo) replied, "Yes. That fraud suspect will be released in six hours."


Kang Won-cheol said, "Right, Nam In-tae. I remember him. What do you want me to do?" and asked, "Are you telling me to put pressure on another prosecutor's office?" Hwang Si-mok responded, "Forgery of private documents, use of forged official documents, violation of the Resident Registration Act. Should we just let him go?"


Then Kang Won-cheol said, "Hwang Si-mok, I am also a former prosecutor. You're asking me to exert influence. If someone calls here and says, 'I used to be the branch chief there, do this and that,' is that right? Of course, Nam In-tae is acting petty towards the police, but still..." and then he stopped speaking.


He then asked the bowed Hwang Si-mok, "What are you doing?"


Hwang Si-mok said, "That's right. Before coming here, you were at the Western District Prosecutors' Office, so I thought coming here would be the most effective. I also took former prosecutor privileges for granted. I relied too naturally on my predecessor," he said.


Then Kang Won-cheol said, "What kind of sudden self-criticism is that? You're not doing anything illegal for personal gain, right?" To this, Hwang Si-mok said, "Others would have done the same. Even the person who removed the access control line probably didn't think they were doing something terribly wrong when they sought a former prosecutor turned lawyer. They were just looking for the person who could best handle their case. Just like I came here," he said.


To that, Kang Won-cheol said, "I'm definitely not that kind of person. Have you ever thought about yourself that way?" and Hwang Si-mok answered, "I don't think I've ever had that thought." To the troubled Hwang Si-mok, Kang Won-cheol said, "When you list former prosecutor privileges as cases, it really seems like a bad thing, but in reality, it's natural."



The tvN drama 'Secret Forest 2' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9 PM.
