[4] Pastor Joo Won-kyu is a novelist who beat 211 competitors to win the 14th Hankyoreh Literary Award in 2009 with his work, "A Cruel History of an Outsider Race."
The judges speculated that Joo's work was from outside the "establishment system" of the university's creative arts department.
Although they pointed out rough sentences and traces of movies and games as flaws, they judged that they were not enough to detract from the author's competence and the explosiveness of his work.
Pastor Joo worked undercover at the Gangnam club for six months and was able to meet most of the children he had lost contact with at the time.
He felt a sense of shame that he couldn't bring any of the children into society, and became numb after witnessing these crimes every day.
Directed by Lee Yoon-jung and starring Kim Joo-hyuk and Chun Woo-hee, the drama depicts the lives of passionate journalists who are determined to reveal the truth through facts in a world overflowing with fake news.
