Parking area / roadside at sunset¶

- Caption identifies him:
-
“SERA’S FATHER, GU RYONGHAK (FORMER SSIREUM GRAND CHAMPION / CURRENTLY A WEALTHY MAN OF LEISURE)”

- He clutches his chest/throat with exaggerated, almost vibrating movement; doubled outlines emphasize the melodrama.
Ryonghak: “MY HEART JUST COLLAPSED~”
Ryonghak: “MY HEART JUST COLLAPSED FROM DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE MY PRINCESS GOT A JOB AND HASN’T TAKEN A SINGLE DAY OFF~”

Ryonghak: “ALRIGHT~ SERA!”

Sera: “!”
Page image 6 — Ryonghak bear-hugs and carries Sera off¶

Page image 7 — Hanlim’s undercover interview with Principal Park¶
- Series logo 참교육 / YLAB appears with creator credits.
- In a school office, Principal Park Do-hee sits with a teacup and saucer opposite Hanlim, who is still disguised as a student with dark braids, large glasses, and a school uniform.
Principal Park: “THE STUDENT SUSPECTED OF COMMITTING SCHOOL VIOLENCE IS A SECOND-YEAR STUDENT, LEE JI-WOO.”
Principal Park: “SHE ENTERED THE CONTEMPORARY DANCE DEPARTMENT AS THE TOP STUDENT, BUT”
- Park smiles slyly over her cup.
Principal Park: “DUE TO EXCESSIVE CONFIDENCE IN HER SKILLS, SHE LOOKED DOWN ON OTHER STUDENTS”

Page image 8 — Principal Park plants the sexual-rumor narrative¶
- Hanlim sits attentively, keeping the student disguise intact.
Principal Park: “AND I KNOW IT’S A BIT INAPPROPRIATE TO SAY THIS, BUT…”
Principal Park: “THERE WAS ALSO A SEXUAL SCANDAL INVOLVING HER PRIVATE TUTOR…”
- Close-up of Hanlim’s red eye behind the lens. Her inner monologue becomes sharp and suspicious.
Hanlim / thought: “IT’S A HUGE RELIEF THIS CAME IN AS A SIMPLE SCHOOL VIOLENCE REPORT.”

Hanlim / thought: “THIS PERSON WOULD HAVE ALREADY—”
Page image 9 — Hanlim recognizes the danger of exposure¶

- Hanlim walks alone down a bright school hallway, backpack on and eyes lowered in thought.
Hanlim / thought: “ANYWAY, THIS IS GOING TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM FROM HERE ON OUT…”

- A shout from outside interrupts her.
Offscreen girl: “I SAID NO!”
Hanlim: “HM?”
- Hanlim turns toward a window.
- Below, in a service/parking area, a tall male staff member in a black suit faces two female students in white school tops and skirts. One girl gestures angrily at him while the other hangs back.
Girl: “HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING TO THOSE KINDS OF PLACES…?”
Page image 11 — The department head beats one of the girls¶

- Hanlim runs toward them, visibly alarmed.
Hanlim: “GIRLS, ARE YOU OKAY?!”

Hanlim: “I SAW EVERYTHING FROM UPSTAIRS. WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?”
Hanlim: “WHY DID THE TEACHER SUDDENLY HIT YOU…”
- The uninjured girl cuts her off sharply, looking frightened rather than merely hostile.
Girl: “DROP IT, TRANSFER STUDENT. DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT.”
Page image 13 — The school’s culture of coercion¶
Girl: “IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, SINCE YOU WORKED SO HARD TO TRANSFER HERE…”
- Hanlim stands speechless, watching the girls.

- Sera answers through the phone.
Sera / phone: “AH, I GOT TOTALLY CRAMMED! I’M HOPPING ON AN EXPRESS BUS AND HEADING BACK RIGHT NOW!”
Hanlim: “GOOD, THAT WORKS OUT PERFECTLY.”
Hanlim: “I HAPPEN TO BE IN A BIT OF A TRICKY SITUATION HERE MYSELF, SO HAVING YOU AROUND WILL BE A BIG HELP.”
Page image 17 — The same girls are taken away in a van¶
- Still on the phone, Hanlim notices movement in the parking area and stops.
- The black-suited department head is escorting the two girls he assaulted earlier into a dark van. One is already seated inside; his hand is on the other girl’s shoulder/back as he pushes or directs her in.

Page image 22 — The girls are ordered to serve alcohol¶
- The girls perform extreme high-leg extensions beside the table while the black-suited department head claps approvingly.
Department head: “ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. GIRLS, THAT’S ENOUGH. THE PROFESSOR HAS SEEN ENOUGH OF YOUR SKILLS,”
- The girls stop, breathing tensely.
Department head: “SO COME OVER HERE AND POUR THE PROFESSOR A DRINK.”
- The professor laughs, watching their discomfort.

Page image 23 — Threats begin when the girls hesitate¶
Professor: “IT’S QUITE ALRIGHT. YOUNG GIRLS ARE CUTE WHEN THEY’RE A BIT SHY~”

- Both girls flinch.
- The black-haired girl forces herself to speak.
Girl: “DEPARTMENT HEAD, ISN’T THIS A BIT MUCH?”
Girl: “IT’S BAD ENOUGH BEING DRAGGED TO THE PRINCIPAL’S PRIVATE GATHERINGS TO DANCE ALL THE TIME,”
Page image 24 — One girl openly refuses¶
Girl: “BUT NOW YOU WANT US TO POUR DRINKS FOR SOME OLD GEEZER?!”
Girl: “WE CAME TO THIS SCHOOL TO DANCE.”
- Close-up: the department head’s eyes harden into a threatening glare.
Girl: “NOT TO BECOME BAR HOSTESSES!”
Department head: “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO THAT IS? HE’S A PROFESSOR IN THE CONTEMPORARY DANCE DEPARTMENT AT SEONGYEONG ARTS UNIVERSITY.”

Page image 25 — The blacklist threat¶
Department head: “…YOU HAVE TO SAY?”
- He erupts, pointing them toward the door.
Department head: “FINE, IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, GET OUT!”

Girl: “MY NAME IS KIM YI-JIN.”
Professor: “KIM YI-JIN… ALRIGHT~ I WILL REMEMBER YOU.”
- The other girl quickly gives in too.

Hanlim: “OH, SERA.”
