AWFULLY SCANDALOUS AND BRUTALLY GLAMOROUS
-Welcome. -Hello.
How should we do your hair and makeup today?
Just a light touch-up. Something elegant, please.
CHEONGDAM JEONGSU CHURCH
Ms. Eun-chae, right? From Adult Group Five.
Oh, hello, sister.
It's been a while since you came to a service.
Yes, I was travelling.
No way, you don't know about it? But it rocked the whole country.
I just got back yesterday.
I didn't know because Wi-Fi in Madrid isn't that good.
I also don't do social media that often.
I have an account, but I barely use it.
I don't really like sharing my personal life either.
It was a complete mess. You know Taegang, right?
Seo A-ri and her livestreams turned that huge law firm upside down.
I went to high school with Jin Tae-jeon, and I'm pretty sure it's true.
So, Seo A-ri, was it? What happened to her?
Hills Park, huh?
It's a really nice place you live in.
I heard even a 66 unit there goes for over three billion, is that right?
I don't know how much the small units are. My place is 294.
Did you say 294? Wow!
I can't even fathom how much those would go for.
Do you live with your parents then?
I live alone.
Why are you so curious? You think I'm lying?
Oh, no, that's not it.
Just do your job and drive.
Yes, ma'am.
Should I… get in through the parking lot?
It's fine. Just drop me off there.
This one's not going through. Do you have another card?
Must've used up the 100-million-won limit while I was on the trip.
I'll pay in cash.
-Here. -Yes, thank you.

You know Taegang, right?
Seo A-ri and her livestreams turned that huge law firm upside down…
I went to high school with Jin Tae-jeon, and I'm pretty sure it's true.
He was notorious for being an asshole, knowing no one can go against his family.
As if he's the only one in this town from a rich and powerful family.
So, Seo A-ri, was it? What happened to her?
LOG IN
WELCOME, _BBBFAMOUS!
MURDERER BITCH, GO KILL YOURSELF TOO
We're good today. We'll just take some pictures and leave.
Let's take a pic and talk somewhere else. We should post it for our sponsor.
NEW RECORDING 5
Bitches.
No need to get my hands dirty for that bitch.
A small tap is enough to trip her up.
You're so smart. A genius!
The bitch that was fabricating things just to get back at us!
What are you talking about?
SEO A-RI RUINED BYE FOREVER
PLEASE FOLLOW BACK. LET'S CONNECT, A-RI.
By the way, who are you, bbb?
I'm a fan of yours, A-ri.
Who I am isn't important, right?
I'm just someone who wants the best for you.
Their foul sides? There's no end once you start digging.
Trashy attention whores.
Where do you think they get all that money they pour out?
Some are just born into these things.
Fine, I'll forgive you once, but there won't be another chance.
SEO A-RI'S HATER _BBBFAMOUS DOXED?
_BBBFAMOUS SPOTTED ON LIVESTREAM
LIVESTREAMS HOSTED BY A THIRD PARTY
SO IT WAS HER FRIEND? THE LIVESTREAMER WASN'T SEO A-RI
WHERE DID SEO A-RI VANISH TO? IS SEO A-RI DEAD AFTER ALL?
Seo A-ri…
Was this bitch dead after all?
Crazy bitch.
#nowhere #but_everywhere #like_you_and_me
Good riddance.
DONGBU POLICE STATION
I'm still waiting but there haven't been any statements.
-No confirmation of Seo A-ri yet, either. -Gee, when will the briefing start?
It's almost time for the news.
Damn it.
Deepfake?
What an amazing shitshow we're in.
So what you're saying is, the videos were all fake?
And the entire nation got played?
I'm afraid so. It's an AI technology that swaps out people's faces in a video.
You can easily find a source for it on the dark web.
Dark we-- Anyways…
Seo Du-seong, Seo A-ri's younger brother. I hear he turned himself in.
What did those kids say? Why on earth did they do something like that?
Why, you ask?
It's retribution, of course.
They have to go through the same things my sister went through.
Are you kidding me?
What you guys did turned the entire nation upside down!
Yes.
That's what we set out to do, so thank god!
Miss Seo A-ri, on the livestream,
even answered people's questions like this.
A-ri knew it all.
She knew that people would swarm in and say those things
if she, a supposedly dead person,
came back and started streaming.
Isn't it funny?
Everything people would spout. All the praise, sneering, even mockery!
I think A-ri knew all of it.
So then,
what happened to Miss Seo A-ri?
Is she deceased, after all?
-Mr. Seo Du-seong! -I don't know.
I don't know.
A-ri vanished after asking Du-seong and me a favor.
They found the car but not the body, so she was declared dead.
But I really hope she's alive.
She needs to be watching all of this.
Because this wasn't the end.
A-ri's final wish was…
There is something more?
What is it?
Seo A-ri…
Tell them to start on what we had prepared. Right now.
Yes, sir.
Hey, honey. Yeah, come to the airport right now.
Don't pack anything.
-Just bring cash. -I can't do that!
How could I leave all these behind?
Let go! Let go of me!
Let go! Let go of me! Let go!
Hello, this is Ji-na.
I'm here today to clear things up and apologize to you…
-Honey! Please forgive me just this once. -Escorting?!
You've been doing that all along?
-Do you admit to breaking the Medical Act? -How do you feel?
-You violated the Narcotics Act. -What the hell?!
You have the right to remain silent,
the right to an attorney…
-Hey! -…and to refuse--
Don't you know who I am? My family has a truckload of attorneys!
-Okay. -Hey, drag her out!
Hey! Call my brother! Tell him to get rid of--
-Can you really live without me? -Why don't you try living without money?
Just like this, with nothing but your body!
Honey, baby, please forgive me just this once.
This is about the allegations that I sell counterfeit luxury items.
I want to take this opportunity to say that I sincerely apologize.
To the citizens of Korea,
I apologize for causing such nationwide distress.
Was it truly under Jin Tae-jeon's orders?
I really had no idea. He asked me to take care of a patient,
so all I did was do my best to treat them.
It's okay, nothing to worry about.
Kim's confession doesn't mean anything.
Right, sir. We just transported an urgent patient.
We'll say that he failed to treat his patient.
Oh, what about An?
You sent him to Hwang Yong-tae, right? We must shut him up.
-Got it? -Yes, sir.
Yes, it's me, An Jae-hun.
I got your message.
Going somewhere?
How did you get in?
Come on, Min-hye.
We're close enough to know each other's home passcode.
Or are we not? What are we then?
Yu-rang, perfect timing.
Let's keep my purses at your place for a while.
This Birkin and…
You think I would have the space for it?
We're as ruined as you are.
My husband's getting interrogated too. The clinic's closed thanks to that.
What's wrong with you?
My husband's clinic, my side of the family,
even my kid, they've all been doxed.
Why did you do it?
If Seo A-ri was right, you're the one who originally posted that tell-all.
We're supposed to be so close that we even know each other's home passcode.
So why did you stab me in the back and expose my husband, you damn bitch?!
Hey! Are you insane?!
This is a Birkin! From Hermès!
You're not going anywhere, Oh Min-hye.
-I called the cops on you. -What?
Luna, a brand with an in-house production line?
I know better than anyone what dirty trick you've used to afford all these purses.
Since I was Oh Min-hye's number one handmaid.
Yu-rang, there's no reason for us to fight like this.
-We're closer than that, aren't we? -Please listen when I'm talking to you!
I asked you first what we are, you evil bitch!
Now known as "Seo A-ri Livestream Incident,"
this topic has set the whole country on fire.
But how can this be?
It wasn't Seo A-ri but a third party that hosted the streaming.
Enter the deepfake.
"Deepfake" comes from the words "deep learning" and "fake."
It uses AI technology to edit a person's face
into other photos or videos as if they are real.
Our hot topic, Miss Seo A-ri's livestream footage,
is assumed to be a classic example of deepfake.
SEO A-RI'S LIVESTREAM, FAKE? WHAT IS DEEPFAKE?
TRUTH ON SEO A-RI LIVESTREAM INCIDENT DEEPFAKE CAN DO STUFF LIKE THIS NOWADAYS?
SCARY, THIS IS POSSIBLE? WE GOT FOOLED BY DEEPFAKE?
Now, what remains is
what kind of punishment is in store for those involved.
Especially Jin Tae-jeon, an attorney from the giant law firm Taegang,
and an anonymous user
by the account name "bbbfamous" are gaining more and more attention.
This incident has sparked
many sentiments demanding severe punishment for hate commenters.
Yes, hateful comments by themselves
are considered an act of violence that tramples on one's character.
We must not forget that it is undeniably a crime.
_BBBFAMOUS IN SEO A-RI'S VIDEOS
The news is so much fun these days. They're all going down. It's a mess.
Did you see Jin Chae-hee bleaching her hair and stuff to hide her drug use?
This is why people stopped watching comedy shows.
Seon-yeong, aren't you also loving this? You took care of all the Gabin members.
They were so bitchy to you.
LEE EUN-CHAE
I'll head out first.
She's always like that.
Does she think she's too cool for us or something?
Why do you keep calling her Seon-yeong? She says her real name's Eun-chae.
Maybe she feels for them since she's also from a rich family.
You really believe that? Why would a rich person work here?
Her parents told her to build some work experience.
I see her covered from head to toe in luxury items too.
They're all class-A knockoffs from Hong Kong.
And what? Her real name's Eun-chae? Please.
I guess she wants to act rich after seeing so many rich people here.
I'm sure that bitch is a pathological liar.
Don't worry.
They can't know who I am.
Huh?
Oh, it's nothing, ma'am.
Let me get you to the bed now.
We finally meet like this, Mr. Jin Tae-jeon.
You sure were hard to meet during the investigation of Kim Gwang-ho's death.
I believe that case
was closed with no relation whatsoever to Taegang or me.
Kim Min-chan already confessed everything,
that you brought a patient who was in a drug-induced shock.
Detective Jang Hyeon-su, was it?
Not familiar with the law, are you? Do you think you can accuse me of that?
My sister, Jin Chae-hee? Of course, she should pay for what she did. But me?
All I did was transfer a sick patient to a hospital.
Is that a crime?
On what grounds will you charge me?
Mr. Hwang Yong-tae.
Owner of Aragon Club, right?
Mr. Prosecutor.
I really don't know anything about this, sir.
Drug peddling? It's ridiculous to even say it!
Do you know how many rooms we have at the club?
You can't possibly expect me to know
if some nutjobs are doing drugs or God knows what in those rooms?
Even the incident that day, I only knew of it after it happened.
Mr. Hwang Yong-tae, there must be a misunderstanding.
I haven't called you here for a mere drug charge.
Huh?
Of course, drug peddling is also a serious offense,
but your list of crimes doesn't end there, does it?
Attempted murder of Han Jun-kyoung, CEO of The Hue Cosmetics.
I'm his lawyer.
-Mr. An! -Don't say a word.
From this point on, you may only question my client in his attorney's presence.
An, you bastard, pick up the phone!
Oh, come on!
Just why did you have to drive drunk, huh?
-You're going behind bars, mister. -I'm sorry.
Hey, excuse me.
What are you doing, smoking in here?
Don't you know me?
-I'm from the law firm Taegang-- -Yes, I know.
I've seen you too many times on TV.
But you aren't special.
No one is allowed to smoke in public facilities.
Oh man. My God.
All right, there you go.
-Are you done? -Yes.
You really shouldn't drink-- You shouldn't drive.
Please don't smoke in here.
Are you calling An Jae-hun? The one you sent over to Hwang Yong-tae.
The number you have dialed…
You…
Oh, you weren't aware that I gained consciousness, right?
After all, we kept it a secret.
It's been a while.
Because I needed some time.
To catch you,
Jin Tae-jeon.
Mr. An…
What are you saying right now?!
Mr. Hwang Yong-tae admits to all charges against him.
Under Jin Tae-jeon's orders,
he intentionally caused the traffic accident.
Mr. An!
Shut the hell up, idiot,
if you want to live.
Please consider this and do him a favor.
He was just following Jin Tae-jeon's orders.
Hwang Yong-tae has probably pled guilty by now.
Why, you ask?
Because I met An Jae-hun today.
Our legal team procured the evidence
proving that Tae-jeon and Taegang instigated Hwang Yong-tae
to cause the accident.
TRANSACTION RECORDS
They also found out how you blackmailed Oh Min-hye and others
to sabotage Miss Seo A-ri.
What will you do?
Will you stay at Taegang, a lost cause, and go down with Jin Tae-jeon?
Or…
will you at least try to keep your license?
Don't be ridiculous.
That can't be true.
You think I would fall for a cheap trick like that?
As if Taegang will fall!
Then why isn't An answering your call?
This is your reality now, Jin Tae-jeon.
A police station.
A filthy, cramped bathroom.
A scumbag criminal.
You brought yourself
to a place that suits you.
No way.
No.
No, there's no way.
Not me, of all people.
I'm Jin Tae-jeon!
Ms. Yoon Si-hyeon, you say?
Yes, she asked for you and no one else.
You know her, right? Yoon Si-hyeon from the Haeum Foundation.
-Yes. -She's one of our top VIPs.
You need to take good care of her, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Yoon Si-hyeon?
I am very honored to be serving you tonight.
I'm your therapist, Lee Eun-chae.
I will start by rinsing your feet.
Which oil should I use? Would you like to sample them first?
I'll just pick one of them.
Is the water temperature okay?
Excuse me, you should answer when someone asks you a question.
If you'll be like this, why did you ask for me--
I was curious
about what you'd be like.
If someone who doesn't even know you
hated you to death and even ruined your life,
wouldn't you be curious as well?
You…
What are you?
You can't be…
That's right. I'm not Yoon Si-hyeon.
I'm Seo A-ri.
How is it, seeing me in person?
Bbbfamous.
Seo A-ri…
How is this possible?
How can you be here now?
A-ri just went inside.
Got it.
Because I stayed alive.
Because I had to find you.
You use the name Eun-chae but your real name's Lee Seon-yeong.
And you're my hater,
bbbfamous.
Why? You were able to say and do all kinds of things in the shadows.
Are you scared now that I'm here?
No way. Look at me straight.
Look me in my face and eyes straight
and say those hate comments you posted, word for word.
Was it exciting, mocking and ruining people?
Was it exhilarating because you knew they can't fight back?
People like you sure held a lot of power at your fingertips.
Back then,
you made me want to kill myself.
That's why I had to catch you, no matter what.
You, especially.
"Bbbfamous."
The one who killed me and is afraid I might be alive.
Who are you?!
Answer me, who are you?
Are you really Seo A-ri?
You can't be! Someone like you should be dead!
All of this was also a trap to catch you.
Really?
The world
is abuzz?
It's part of the reason I faked my own death and started livestreaming.
That's good.
It's exactly what I wanted.
Every choice in this world comes with its consequence.
But a lot of people seem to be oblivious to that.
…since it makes their life easier not to know what they've actually done.
But we must be aware of our actions.
We must know that we can't escape from what we've done.
And we must pay the price for the choices we've made.
We shouldn't avoid it, and we cannot avoid it.
Of course, you'll be taken care of by the law.
But your existence is now publicly revealed,
and your story will become a piece of meat that everyone gnaws on.
How does it feel to be in my shoes?
Lee Seon-yeong.
Answer me.
Why did you do it?
What did you want to get out of it?
Shut up, you fucking bitch!
A-ri!
-What's wrong? -Get the hell off me!
Seo… Seo A-ri?
Cockroaches!
Come over here! Let's go!
What the hell did I do wrong?!
What are you doing?
Don't you dare lecture me! Who do you think you are?
The Gabin Society?
Those fuckers and bitches who brag on social media?
They deserved it.
They spend my entire month's paycheck on a single meal.
The money I'll never have even if I die trying,
you people can spend it all in a day.
All the clothes, luxury items, and supercars.
You show them off and make others feel even more shitty about their shitty lives.
Is it that hard to live quietly?
Do you just have to show off and brag about it?
Please just shut up.
You all freaking disgust me!
Then you're all like,
"No, not at all!"
"My bank account's empty too!"
How ridiculous.
So go fuck yourselves.
The whole world can go fuck itself.
No!
I wish bitches like you would all just die.
Crazy bitches.
Seo A-ri, kill yourself! Why isn't she dead yet?
Oh Min-hye, you crazy bitch.
Bitches like you all deserve to die.
You cunts!
Bitches! You crazy bitch.
You crazy bitch!
Die!
We'll be in touch. We'd appreciate your cooperation.
Thank you for your work.
Are you okay?
This isn't what I wanted.
I just… wanted to right the wrong.
I know.
Fortunately, her injuries are not fatal.
Once she recovers,
she will pay for all that she's done wrong.
A-ri.
Jun-kyoung.
I called him over.
He's been waiting for you
more than anyone else, A-ri.
I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you in advance.
Jun-kyoung, I had no idea that you had woken up.
How--
Save those thoughts, at least for now.
And don't you ever
leave my sight in any way again.
DONGBU POLICE STATION
Name, Lee Seon-yeong, 32 years old. Address, Jangmun-ro 35-gil, Yongsan-gu.
Apparently, she used an alias, "Lee Eun-chae."
Her laptop was full of voice and image files, you say?
An unbelievable amount.
From customers' conversations she recorded during massage sessions
to screenshots she took by unlocking their phones.
That must be how she collected info on those celebs.
What a crazy bitch.
She has a long record of treatment for depression too.
Man, this world is full of all kinds of weirdos.
Oh, right. Her house was beyond crazy.
They say you think as you live. It was like a dumpster--
-That's enough. Stop it. -Sorry?
Save the badmouthing for me, you bastard,
and leave strangers alone.
Goodness, I'm finally home.
It's so nice to be back in my house.
It's a relief that you were released on probation, Mrs. Lee.
A relief?
Yoon Jeong-sun. And you too, Du-seong.
I'm not going to let this slide.
How can you do this to me?
How could you hide things about A-ri from me?
Do you have any idea how much that ate me up inside?
I'm sorry, Mom.
You're just too much of a blabbermouth--
What did you say?
No, what I meant was…
-You would have found out later anyway. -Why, you… you're the worst!
What? What did you say about my mouth?
Mrs. Lee, calm down!
I mean, Du-seong has a point.
If you knew, would we have succeeded?
We'd have failed on arrival.
Not you too! Seriously.
So, where's A-ri?
Where is that darned brat?
YES TO REDEVELOPMENT
We called the cleaning services, and they'll be here soon,
so please leave after a quick look.
-Yes, I understand. -Okay, here you go.
You're really here.
Si-hyeon.
Jun-kyoung told me
that you let him know where you're going and what you're doing every time.
Yes, I do.
I figured I'd give it a visit.
I guess this place will be cleaned up soon.
I bet you're thinking,
"Lee Seon-yeong must have existed only in this room."
"Her life had its meaning only when she was being bbbfamous."
Yes.
Perhaps that's why
I find this place rather sad
than horrendous.
Did you know about this?
It's an account that supports you.
Interesting world, isn't it?
3.9M FOLLOWERS
This many people are hoping for your comeback.
To be honest, I was tempted for a moment.
But then, I couldn't help but laugh it off.
So I just left it behind.
Why, you ask?
People either know me very well or don't know me at all,
and yet they cheer for me or hate me.
"Agree A-ri"?
It's only a matter of time before it suddenly changes to "Ugly A-ri."
