Image 001 — Hwang Hojun’s first day at elementary school¶
A black background opens with a promotional line:

A white narration box introduces the point-of-view character:
EVER SINCE I WAS YOUNG, I GREW UP IN A FARMING VILLAGE.
In a bright agricultural greenhouse, elementary-school-aged Hwang Hojun walks away from two adult farm workers while wearing a large purple backpack. Rows of green crops stretch behind him under the arched plastic roof. One adult calls after him:
AHJUSSI, TAKE A LOOK. I BOUGHT A SCHOOL BAG~
The workers smile warmly at him.
OH~ HOJUN~ IT’S PRETTY!
SO YOU’RE GOING TO SCHOOL TOMORROW…
An adult hand rests on Hojun’s head. He looks upward with open, hopeful eyes.
MAKE GOOD FRIENDS…
A narration box transitions to the entrance ceremony at his elementary school:
BUT IN THE ENTRANCE CEREMONY OF MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL…
Hojun appears in a classroom doorway, clutching both straps of his backpack. He looks small, nervous, and newly conscious of being observed.
Image 002 — “The only pure Korean in my class was me”¶
The image begins mid-sentence with the concluding narration:
THE ONLY PURE KOREAN IN MY CLASS…
The classroom contains children of many visible racial and ethnic backgrounds. Several students turn toward the doorway to inspect Hojun. He is framed from behind, making the gaze of the entire room feel concentrated on him.
A large narration box completes the thought:
WAS ME.
A dark-skinned boy in a red hoodie approaches Hojun with casual friendliness:
HI? I’M LEE MUKHYUN. WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
Hojun, startled by the direct introduction, answers:
YEAH… I’M HWANG HOJUN…
Image 003 — The first racist joke¶
Mukhyn smiles and responds:
AH~ REALLY~?
His expression turns mischievous as he asks:
BUT WHY IS YOUR FACE SO YELLOW? KEKE.
Hojun stares back, shocked and visibly uncomfortable. A narration box states:
MY ILL-FATED RELATIONSHIP WITH LEE MUKHYUN BEGAN THAT DAY.
The Korean title card follows, showing the familiar dark silhouette and crossed disciplinary tools behind the logo 참교육, with the YLAB mark beneath.
The setting then widens to the rural community. A narration box reads:
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS A RURAL AREA WHERE AGRICULTURE IS THE MAINSTAY.
Farm workers harvest crops under a bright sky.
The final line begins:
BUT NOW WE SEE MORE FOREIGNERS…
Image 004 — Demographic change in the farming village¶
The opening completes the previous line:
…THAN KOREANS.
A narration box explains:
MOST YOUNG PEOPLE LEAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NO ONE STARTS A FAMILY HERE.
A foreign woman harvests large heads of lettuce while other workers carry produce behind her.
I’VE NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE GIVING BIRTH TO A CHILD FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS.
Another narration box adds:
ON THE OTHER HAND, FOREIGNERS ARE INCREASINGLY SETTLING IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
A Black farm worker picks red fruit from a tree. The imagery presents immigration as the labor force sustaining the otherwise aging and shrinking rural community.
Image 005 — The school becomes majority mixed-race and foreign¶
AT ONE POINT, THEY EXCEEDED THE NUMBER OF PURE KOREANS.
IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT I ATTENDED,
The classroom shown is racially diverse, with Korean, mixed-race, and foreign students sharing the same room.
THERE WERE FAR MORE MIXED RACE AND FOREIGN CHILDREN THAN PURE KOREANS TOO.
A large, dark-skinned teenage boy with closely cropped reddish hair—Lee Mukhyn—holds out a thick marker or writing implement with a predatory grin.
HAVING BEEN REDUCED TO A MINORITY,
A Korean student sits slumped at a desk, eyes lowered and face marked with embarrassment and exhaustion.
Mukhyn looks down over him and jeers:
BRAT~ THAT SUITS YOU WELL.
The narration concludes:
WE HAD TO SUFFER UNDER LEE MUKHYUN.
Image 006 — Mukhyn’s physical dominance¶
A narration box identifies him:
LEE MUKHYUN IS OF AN ETHIOPIAN DESCENT.
Mukhyn stands with other imposing boys behind him, hands in his pockets and shoulders relaxed. His physique dwarfs the people around him.
HE WAS BORN WITH AN OVERWHELMING PHYSIQUE, TO THE POINT THAT HE REACHED 182 CM HEIGHT DURING SECOND YEAR OF MIDDLE SCHOOL.
AND ONE DAY…
Image 007 — Fighting older Korean students¶
From the shadowed foreground, a group calls toward Mukhyn and his friends across an outdoor plaza:
HEY, YOU DARK BASTARD!
An angry Korean high-school student shouts:
I HEARD YOU’VE BEEN TORMENTING THE KOREANS THESE DAYS?
A narration box explains:
HE GOT INTO A FIGHT WITH STUDENTS FROM HIGH SCHOOLS THAT WERE PREDOMINANTLY KOREANS.
The older student continues:
HOW DARE YOU ACT ARROGANT WHEN WE SHOULD BE GETTING OUR COFFEE BEANS FROM YOU?!
Mukhyn smiles rather than recoiling. The page then shows the aftermath: multiple older students lie beaten on the ground while Mukhyn and his companions remain standing.
One fallen student begins protesting:
WHAT DID YOU SAY WITH THAT MOUTH?
Image 008 — Mukhyn becomes the neighborhood’s “wild horse”¶
A close-up shows Mukhyn gripping the older student’s face in one huge hand.
DARK BASTARD?
The narration states:
MUKHYUN BECAME THIS NEIGHBORHOOD’S WILD HORSE.
Mukhyn charges with a raised fist and an ecstatic, violent grin:
DIE! YOU BASTARD!
EVEN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS COULD NOT TAKE AGAINST HIM.
The scanlation’s wording is preserved; the intended sense is that even high-school students could not stand against him.
Image 009 — Mukhyn repeats racist media stereotypes¶
Several Korean students crouch or sit in pain while Mukhyn and his group loom over them.
OOOK!
OOK! OOK! ACKK!
Mukhyn says:
I SAW THAT SHITTY NEWS YESTERDAY!
MIXED RACE KIDS LIKE US ARE GETTING BULLIED LIKE CRAZY IN SCHOOL.
He leans down with a cruel grin:
WHAT DID IT SAY? BLACK KIDS EATING ALL THE BLACK BEAN NOODLES?!
A Korean girl laughs at the wordplay or stereotype. Another student protests:
KYAHAHAHA! WHY WAS THAT? THAT’S SO FUCKING FUNNY! THEY SAID BLACK KIDS EAT BLACK BEAN NOODLES!
A victim reacts:
CRAZY BITCH, WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?!
The scene demonstrates how Mukhyn converts reports of discrimination against mixed-race children into justification for humiliating Korean classmates.
Image 010 — Reverse-racism rhetoric¶
Mukhyn looks down with open contempt:
THAT’S THE SPECIALTY OF YOU KOREAN PEOPLE!
BEING PROUD BECAUSE THEY’RE A SINGLE ETHNIC GROUP, BUT SINGLING OUT OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS LIKE CRAZY!
Hojun sits low to the floor with his fingers hooked at his ears, trying to endure the humiliation without responding.
Mukhyn continues:
THAT’S WHY YOU GUYS CAN’T SAY ANYTHING EVEN WHEN GETTING BULLIED LIKE THIS!
Image 011 — Mukhyn’s recurring justification¶
Hojun’s eyes narrow in anger.
DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH! YOU’VE NEVER EVEN GONE TO SEOUL, LET ALONE BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST!!
Narration explains:
LEE MUKHYUN ALWAYS GAVE THIS STRANGE JUSTIFICATION FOR REVERSE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION.
Mukhyn sits on top of a desk like a throne, legs crossed and body language completely at ease.
IF SOMEONE STOPPED HIM, HE WOULD GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN PLAYING A VICTIM AND A PERPETRATOR, SAYING THAT HE WAS BEING RACIALLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.
A teacher enters the disorderly classroom and shouts:
LEE MUKHYUN!!
The bespectacled male teacher points angrily:
HOW MANY TIMES DID I TELL YOU NOT TO BULLY THE KOREAN STUDENTS?! HUH?!
Mukhyn’s face hardens.
Image 012 — Mukhyn manipulates the teacher’s wording¶
Mukhyn stands up and challenges the teacher:
KOREAN STUDENTS? THAT’S STRANGELY ANNOYING~ I’M A KOREAN TOO!
A smaller handwritten line beneath adds:
I have to go serve the military too~
The teacher insists:
YOU KNOW BETTER THAT I DIDN’T MEAN IT THAT WAY!
Mukhyn’s performance uses nationality selectively: he emphasizes difference when attacking others, then invokes Korean citizenship when a teacher distinguishes him from Korean classmates.
Image 013 — Daniel Hyun arrives¶
The teacher exhales and tries to end the confrontation:
HUFF~ FORGET IT. EVERYONE, ATTENTION!
A tall, pale-haired young man with round glasses stands near the doorway.
WE HAVE A NEW NATIVE ENGLISH TEACHER THIS TIME…
HE’S TEACHER DANIEL HYUN.
Daniel bows his head slightly.
I’M HYUN.
Students immediately whisper about his appearance:
WHOA~ SO FREAKING HANDSOME!
HE’S SO MY TYPE.
Mukhyn watches in silence.
The teacher quietly tells Daniel:
THEN, SUPERVISOR, I’LL LEAVE IT IN YOUR CARE…
Daniel addresses the room:
AS YOU HEARD JUST NOW, MY NAME IS DANIEL HYUN.
Image 014 — Daniel’s preferred name¶
Daniel continues:
BUT I’D LIKE TO BE CALLED DANIEL RATHER THAN HYUN, SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND.
He stands at the front of the room beneath the Korean flag, relaxed but observant.
THIS IS OUR FIRST PERIOD, SO LET’S TAKE SOME TIME TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT ME YOU’RE CURIOUS ABOUT?
Image 015 — Questions about Daniel’s race¶
A student asks:
TEACH~ YOUR EYES ARE GREEN, ARE YOU MIXED RACE TOO?
Daniel answers:
YES, MY MOM IS KOREAN AND MY FATHER IS AMERICAN.
Another student asks:
WHOA~ THEN, HAVE YOU EVER LIVED IN AMERICA?
I LIVED IN NEW YORK, MANHATTAN UNTIL LAST YEAR.
Students murmur excitedly about New York.
Mukhyn raises his hand with an enormous grin:
TEACH, I HAVE A QUESTION TOO~
He asks:
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT YELLOW MICKEY IN AMERICA?
Daniel’s expression goes still.
Image 016 — Daniel answers honestly¶
Daniel replies:
I HAVE. IN FACT, QUITE A LOT…
EAST HARLEM, THE PLACE WHERE I USED TO LIVE, WAS AN AREA WITH EXTREME RACISM.
ESPECIALLY, THERE WAS SEVERE RACISM AGAINST ASIANS BY BLACK PEOPLE…
Mukhyn jerks in outrage. Small handwritten text beside his face reads approximately:
What?! Those like me??
Daniel concludes:
EVERY TIME, I ACCEPTED IT LIKE THIS.
Image 017 — The slur is turned back on Mukhyn¶
Daniel looks directly at Mukhyn and says a censored English racial slur:
FXXKING NXXXX!
Mukhyn’s face becomes a mask of shock and rage:
WHAT THE FUCK?!
He springs upright:
BLACK PEOPLE LIKE ME?! FUCKING WHAT?!
FUCK! YOU’RE SAYING THAT FOR ME TO HEAR, AREN’T YOU?!
Daniel answers calmly:
I JUST ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.
DON’T GET RILED UP AND SIT DOWN.
Mukhyn does not comply.
Image 018 — Mukhyn openly challenges him¶
Standing in the aisle with fists clenched, Mukhyn asks:
WHAT ARE GOING TO DO IF I DON’T?
Students around him stare. Daniel remains seated or positioned calmly at the front, seen from behind.
Image 019 — The threat of public scandal¶
Mukhyn screams:
ARE YOU GOING TO PUNCH ME?
A TEACHER DOING THAT TO A STUDENT?
He leans into the provocation:
TRY IT~ FUCK!
Daniel’s face remains impassive.
I’M GOING TO BLOW THIS UP AS CORPORAL PUNISHMENT FOR RACISM~
The scene cuts to the schoolyard after class. Na Hwa-jin walks beside Daniel and comments:
A NONVIOLENT, YOU SAY…
RIGHT, I THINK YOU SAID THAT DURING YOUR INTERVIEW…
Na grins:
BY ANY CHANCE, ARE YOU A PACIFIST?
SOMETHING LIKE REASONING WITH THE KIDS?
Image 020 — Daniel’s principle¶
Daniel answers:
THERE’S THIS ONE SAYING AMONG THE KOREAN SAYINGS THAT I LIKE.
HATE THE SIN
The composition turns to show Na listening.
NOT THE SINNER.
Na looks mildly surprised by Daniel’s earnestness.
Image 021 — “There’s a way”¶
Na explains:
THERE IS A SOURCE TO EVERY HUMAN MALICE.
BUT IF WE SUPPRESS IT WITH VIOLENCE, WE WON’T BE ABLE TO UPROOT THAT SOURCE.
Daniel listens from the foreground.
Na continues:
HOW IDEALISTIC OF YOU… BUT MOST CASES WE HAVE TO GO BEYOND ORDINARY CASES.
THEY’RE NOT SIMPLE CASES THAT CAN BE SOLVED WITH REASONING.
Daniel smiles slightly:
NO, THERE’S A WAY.
A dark transition caption follows:
FOR EXAMPLE…
Image 022 — Handcuffed together¶
A close-up shows a metal handcuff snapping around Mukhyn’s wrist. The second cuff is attached to Daniel.
Mukhyn recoils:
WHAT IS THIS?!
Daniel holds the connecting chain and studies it calmly. The classroom clock and lockers behind them confirm the restraint has been applied in front of the class.
Image 023 — Mukhyn cannot overpower Daniel¶
The second cuff locks around Daniel’s wrist with a metallic Korean sound effect.
Mukhyn jerks backward:
AH! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?!
He throws a punch with his free hand. Daniel catches the fist cleanly.
Mukhyn tries to pull away while Daniel keeps the attacking arm controlled. Motion lines show Mukhyn exerting full strength without moving Daniel.
Mukhyn thinks:
WHAT?! I CAN’T EVEN MOVE!
Image 024 — Daniel remembers Na’s advice¶
Mukhyn’s thought continues:
I’VE NEVER LOST IN TERMS OF POWER!
Daniel looks down at their joined hands.
TEAM LEADER (HWAJIN) TOLD ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF AT TIMES LIKE THIS, RIGHT…?
His expression is composed and almost polite.
Image 025 — Daniel’s formal introduction¶
Students react in shock as Daniel identifies himself:
I’M THE ON-SITE SUPERVISOR OF THE TEACHERS’ RIGHTS PROTECTION AGENCY.
HYUN.
He adds:
BUT I WON’T COMMIT ANY VIOLENCE LIKE OTHER SUPERVISORS.
WE’LL HAVE TO TALK FIRST.
Mukhyn’s face becomes pale with unease.
Daniel leans in until they are nearly nose-to-nose, still holding Mukhyn’s hand.
LET’S DO IT ANYWHERE
The chain between their cuffs is shown taut.
IN 24 HOURS!
Daniel is proposing an uninterrupted twenty-four-hour confrontation or “conversation” while physically preventing Mukhyn from escaping.
Image 026 — End credits¶
The chapter ends with Korean staff and production credits beside the YLAB logo and the promotional line:

Chapter-level continuity notes¶
Hojun’s narration establishes the social setting¶
The rural district’s young Korean population has largely left, while immigrant farm workers and their children have become a demographic majority. The chapter does not portray diversity itself as the problem. The conflict comes from Mukhyn turning genuine social discrimination into permission to dominate a smaller group of Korean classmates.
Mukhyn switches identities depending on what gives him power¶
When bullying Hojun, he describes “you Korean people” as a hostile outside group. When a teacher says “Korean students,” he insists that he is Korean too and invokes military service. The inconsistency is intentional: he treats racial and national identity as tools for avoiding accountability.
Daniel refuses both passivity and conventional corporal punishment¶
Daniel calls himself nonviolent, yet he is not physically helpless. He catches Mukhyn’s punch effortlessly, withstands his strength, and handcuffs himself to him. The technique is coercive but not framed as a beating. Daniel intends to remove Mukhyn’s ability to flee, posture before classmates, or switch between victim and aggressor while forcing prolonged dialogue.
Daniel’s own history explains his reaction¶
His account of anti-Asian racism in East Harlem allows him to recognize the difference between being discriminated against and weaponizing discrimination. His censored slur is deliberately provocative and ethically troubling, but its narrative purpose is to make Mukhyn experience the exact rage he routinely dismisses in Korean victims.
The chapter’s cliffhanger¶
Daniel’s “twenty-four hours” proposal sets up a psychological endurance match rather than a conventional disciplinary fight. The next chapter is expected to show whether he can force Mukhyn to confront the source of his behavior without resorting to the violence associated with other TRPA supervisors.
