Opening — A child who believes the law makes him untouchable¶
A young boy sits in a priority seat on public transportation, loudly describing violent things he wants to do to someone who looked at him while he was gaming.
He says he wants to shove a person’s head into a monitor and force a keyboard down his throat.
An older man confronts him.
“HEY! AN ELDERLY PERSON IS STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU.”
He also tells the boy to stop swearing in public and asks whether this is how his parents raised him.
The boy gives a mocking apology, then attacks the man.
He becomes furious at the mention of his parents and calls the man drunk and disgusting.
When bystanders suggest calling the police, the boy laughs:
“GO REPORT ME.”
“IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL, I’M UNDER 14~”
His confidence comes from a simplified understanding of juvenile law: he believes age guarantees immunity from consequences.
Lim Han-rim formally joins the agency¶
The scene shifts to a military facility.
Lim Han-rim is addressed by her rank:
“SERGEANT LIM HAN-RIM.”
She has completed a temporary assignment and is expected to return to her unit.
Lim explains that she originally applied only for the girls’ high-school case. She considers it an honor to have carried out the mission with her captain.
She then meets senior officials, including Education Minister Chey Kang-suk and special-forces commander Lieutenant General Lee Do-chang.
The men discover that they attended the same school and immediately fall into an exaggerated senior-junior relationship.
Chey tells the general to stop calling him by title and call him hyungnim instead.
When Lim’s return is discussed, the general laughs and says they may keep her for a thousand years.
A three-star commander’s early-morning call has effectively reassigned her.
Lim concludes that she will remain with the agency until the minister retires.
She tells Na that she must now call him sunbaenim.
Na is delighted by their growing public notoriety. A video connected with their work has passed one million views.
The under-fourteen gang¶
A group of middle-school delinquents occupies a private room.
They celebrate online attention and joke that the news cannot meaningfully punish them.
One boy, Park Se-hoon, is being used as a human training target.
Another boy practices a boxing combination and calls the final movement a “Dempsey Roll.”
He repeatedly punches Se-hoon while the others laugh.
After the “training” ends, Se-hoon does not respond.
A girl or younger member asks whether he should be taken to a hospital because an unconscious person could die.
The gang leader dismisses the concern:
“PEOPLE DON’T DIE THAT EASILY~”
They discuss juvenile-protection dispositions as though they are game levels. Even serious violence, they believe, will lead only to a short stay in a juvenile facility and no permanent criminal record.
They joke that this is their last year to kill someone safely.
A spontaneous trip¶
The gang becomes bored and decides to go to the beach.
They admire social-media posts from students traveling abroad and demand the emerald-colored East Sea rather than the “shitty” West Sea.
Someone points out that it is late and they have no money.
The group’s mood swings immediately. One member threatens to go home if they cannot travel.
Then an opportunity appears.
They steal or take control of a vehicle.
Na and Lim see the dangerous driver¶
Na and Lim are driving toward their next assignment.
The report concerns a sports club where abuse appears to run from senior students to administrators.
Na says the organization is rotten from top to bottom.
A vehicle driven erratically by children suddenly passes them.
Na and Lim react to the reckless driving.
They identify the people inside as middle-school students.
Na says that early adolescence is simultaneously the most fearless and vulnerable period.
“YEAH, THEY’RE THE ONES THAT NEED TO BE EDUCATED THE MOST!”
The chapter ends with the agency turning its attention from the sports-club dossier to the immediate danger on the road.
Chapter-level observations¶
1. The gang confuses reduced criminal liability with moral immunity¶
Their knowledge of the law is selective. They understand the limit on adult punishment but ignore protective dispositions, civil consequences, injury, and death.
2. The violence is recreational¶
Park Se-hoon is not attacked during a conflict. He is used as training equipment because the group is bored.
3. Lim’s permanent assignment broadens the agency¶
Her military background and direct temperament complement Na’s methods, establishing her as an ongoing field inspector rather than a temporary participant.
4. The chapter links public-law rhetoric to private cruelty¶
The children repeat legal terms while demonstrating no understanding of why juvenile law exists.
