Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 196

Ever since footage of Kang Hye Sun imprisoned in the prayer camp aired on broadcast, South Korea had been endlessly abuzz with the topic.

The scene itself was shocking enough, but Ji Yeon Hwa—the perpetrator—was just as much to blame. Just as public interest began to cool, another crime would come to light; then yet another, leaving no chance for the story to quiet down.

Beyond kidnapping and imprisoning Kang Hye Sun and Lee Ae Rin, attempting to murder Kwon Seung Joo, and poisoning her own secretary, more crimes kept surfacing. Ji Yeon Hwa had even disguised an unclaimed corpse as Kang Hye Sun and cremated it, bribing the coroner during the process.

The scandal grew even bigger when it was revealed that New Stars—the current top K-pop boy group—had been unexpectedly dragged into the affair. While investigating Ji Yeon Hwa’s additional crimes, it emerged she had manipulated voting outcomes by interfering in the broadcast production through her maternal nephew.

Consequently, the entire “Aften” production team involved in the case was arrested one after another, and Newbies—the fandom of New Stars—not only in Korea but around the world erupted in fury, fanning the flames even higher.

– No wonder it felt fishy when Chris got eliminated and Choi Won Ha made the cut starting from the second round of voting.

– They even rigged the crane accident on the final ranking announcement day?

– Pushing Choi Won Ha to debut before New Stars was probably some shady move too.

– That’s already been talked about. Our kids almost couldn’t debut, but Vice President Kang Hye Sun stepped in and made it happen!

For all these reasons, Kang Hye Sun was truly at the epicenter of public attention. People everywhere were desperate to know: Was Kang Hye Sun, who’d been carried away on a stretcher looking utterly devastated, actually safe? And given that both her ex-husband and his lover were now detained as suspects, what must she be feeling?

Of course, persistent journalists had steadily reported that her life was no longer in danger and she was recovering smoothly—but the public wasn’t satisfied. Since Hye Sun had previously appeared live on the news to state her position herself, they now wanted her to speak again, directly and in her own words.

More than anything, they longed to see with their own eyes that she was truly safe.

– Seriously, when is she finally getting discharged?

– Please hold a press conference soon—I’m getting dizzy from waiting 😭😭😭😭

Approximately two weeks after her rescue, Kang Hye Sun, having regained some strength, finally held a press conference.
