Get Schooled — Chapter 116

Complete Detailed Panel-by-Panel Transcription

Scope

This transcription follows all 30 ordered reader images in Chapter 116. It preserves the supplied scanlation’s readable legal text, dialogue, labels, public posts, and key sound effects while describing the visual storytelling in sequence.

Sequence 1 — Article 8 and the agency’s unrestricted authority

Lee Ju-bin explains the statute that created the Teacher’s Rights Protection Agency. Large blocks of legal text appear against dark backgrounds:

  • Article 1 — Establishment and Purpose: the agency supervises and guides personnel where teachers’ rights are infringed and operates directly under the Ministry of Education.
  • Article 5 — Appointment of Inspectors: field agents may be appointed under the Minister of Education regardless of conventional qualifications.
  • Article 8 — Authority to Perform Duties: actions carried out by inspectors for on-site guidance or case investigation are not restricted by other agencies or legislation.

Lee emphasizes the final clause. If an agent maintains that an act was necessary for the case, the act is treated as lawful.

THEN ALL OUR ACTIONS ARE LEGAL.

Kim Jiuk is horrified. As a fellow legal professional, he considers the agency’s existence almost unconstitutional. Article 8 was presumably written to shield corporal punishment, but its wording could also cover assault, coercive interrogation, fabrication, detention, and threats.

Lee agrees that the provision is unreasonable. He then demonstrates why that unreasonable power matters in the current case.

Sequence 2 — Park Leekyung’s recorded confession

Lee plays an audio file labeled PARK LEEKYUNG_TESTIMONY.WAV. Leekyung’s frightened voice admits:

YUJUNG TOLD ME TO RECORD THAT VIDEO.

IF I JUST DID AS SHE SAID, SHE PROMISED TO SET UP A MEAL FOR ME WITH CHAEHA OPPA…

The fabricated photograph prompted Yujung to fabricate a response, thereby producing a witness and a recoverable instruction chain. Lee states that the agency did not create false evidence to change the truth; it followed its own rules to uncover the truth that ordinary evidence standards had hidden.

He gives Yujung another opportunity. Admit what happened, apologize, and stop destroying the victim’s life; the agency will end the matter there.

Yujung refuses.

I’VE NEVER TOLD LEEKYUNG TO DO THAT.

WHAT CRAZY BITCH WOULD FABRICATE EVIDENCE JUST TO MEET A MALE IDOL?

She dismisses everyone as jealous and complains theatrically that being a star is difficult.

Sequence 3 — Yujung’s self-image

The chapter enters Yujung’s internal history. She says she has always been popular. When she was street-cast in eighth grade, she was not surprised; she believed the world was finally recognizing what was obvious.

WITH SUCH A FACE, ISN’T IT OBVIOUS THAT I WOULD BE A STAR?

The glamour dissolves into the idol-training system. Coaches and staff insult trainees’ bodies, weight, skill, posture, and prospects. Yujung is ordered to control her food and exercise, while adults call trainees fat and useless. One trainer asks how someone with covered abdominal muscles could possibly debut.

The humiliation infuriates Yujung. She sees herself as inherently superior and cannot tolerate being unpopular or powerless. Because she cannot safely retaliate against the agency staff controlling her career, she redirects the stress downward.

The flashback shows Eunjin and other vulnerable girls being mocked, controlled, or isolated. Yujung tells followers that Eunjin is strange and warns that she might drag Yujung down after debut. Bullying becomes a method of restoring the dominance denied to her during training.

TO ME WHO WAS TIRED OF THE TRAINEE LIFE… I NEEDED TO RELEASE THE STRESS.

Yujung also carefully manages the evidence so the abuse cannot become a future career issue.

Sequence 4 — Public opinion collapses again

Leekyung’s confession and the agency’s explanation spread online. Headlines identify the debunking video as false and say Leekyung acted because Yujung ordered her. Comment sections fill with ridicule: “fake idol,” “bully idol,” and jokes that the cover-up is over.

Yujung’s composure shatters. In a dark room she screams that, if she says it was not her, then it was not her. She cannot understand why everyone is mocking her or what she supposedly did wrong.

Outside, reporters and photographers wait. A manager pulls her back indoors and warns that touching anything or appearing publicly could create another issue.

Sequence 5 — The company loses control

A Entertainment prepares another denial. Staff debate whether to state that Leekyung is unrelated to the company and whether they must admit the previous photograph was false. Before they can decide, the agency releases another investigation report.

The headline states that there are five additional victims of Fairy’s bullying. The agency says all five testimonies match. It describes Yujung’s methods: stealing or restricting victims’ phones to prevent recordings and screenshots, attacking in private, and later contacting victims after debut to mock their lack of evidence.

The public reaction is immediate and brutal. Commenters demand prison rather than simple withdrawal from the group. Others call her an “onion idol,” because every layer removed reveals another scandal.

Yujung turns on her staff and demands that they do something. Her manager and company executives now insist she tell the truth. She continues to refuse.

Sequence 6 — CEO Phillip Jung suspends her

A Entertainment’s CEO, Phillip Jung, enters. He addresses Yujung with outward gentleness:

FAIRY, IT’S BEEN HARD, RIGHT?

He tells her to stop all activities and rest at home. The soft phrasing disguises the professional reality: she has been removed from public work because the company can no longer protect the group while she remains active.

Yujung’s expression is blank with disbelief. The identity she considered inevitable—popular girl, chosen trainee, star—has been stripped away in public.

End-of-chapter continuity note

Chapter 116 reveals both the legal danger of Article 8 and the psychological structure of Yujung’s abuse. Lee uses unrestricted authority to create investigative bait, while Yujung uses weaker students as an outlet for the degradation she experienced under idol training. Even after confession evidence and five additional victims emerge, she refuses accountability, leading A Entertainment to suspend her.

Additional visual and text details

  • The statutory articles are laid out like official government excerpts. Kim Jiuk’s increasingly alarmed face is intercut with imagined consequences—fabrication, assault, interrogation, arrest, and threats.
  • Leekyung’s audio confession is displayed on a phone/audio-player interface, giving the evidence a mundane, reproducible form unlike the spectacular fabricated photograph.
  • Yujung’s trainee flashback alternates glamorous casting images with harsh rehearsal rooms, mirrors, scales, and adults pointing at bodies. Her sense of being “born” for fame survives even while she is verbally degraded.
  • The comment montage includes jokes about a previous drug scandal at A Entertainment and predictions that another scandal will follow. The company’s brand begins collapsing alongside Yujung’s individual image.
  • The five-victim report specifically says testimonies match and describes the deliberate destruction of digital evidence. The report reframes the lack of screenshots as part of the perpetrator’s method, not a reason to disbelieve victims.
  • CEO Phillip Jung’s gentle voice contrasts with the finality of the order to cease activity. Yujung is not comforted; she is professionally quarantined.
