The video begins with Jeon Woo-won paying acquisition tax. When the company 'BL Asset,' operated by Jeon Jae-yong, the son of former President Jeon Du-hwan, acquired land in Osan, the obligation to pay acquisition tax was imposed on Jeon Woo-won, who holds shares in the company.

Jeon Woo-won paid about 50 million won, excluding the previously paid amount, and showed tears. He expressed his feelings, saying, "It was only natural to pay the money related to the taxed details."

When the production team asked Jeon Woo-won, "Isn't it your father who broke the law?" he replied, "Even if Jeon Du-hwan obtained slush funds, if the slush funds have flowed to the children, they should be recovered."

Then, elementary school students nearby approached and comforted Jeon Woo-won, saying, "It's okay because you didn't do anything wrong." When the production team asked the students why they said it was okay, the students answered, "Jeon Du-hwan did wrong, not this man."

When Jeon Woo-won said, "Jeon Du-hwan stole money and shared it with his brother, but that money was not earned in the right way," the students said, "He should donate. Donating will lessen the sin."

The students added to Jeon Woo-won, "The hardest thing in the world is to repent for mistakes," and "Don't feel guilty."

Then, when Jeon Woo-won asked, "How did you recognize me right away?" the students said, "We researched the May 18 (Democratization Movement) at school and recognized you," adding, "We must not forget history."
