Master list

Chapter 1 named oc x mafia yoongi

“Sir?” Minwhan asked hesitantly, seeing how perfectly still his boss was.

“What did you just say?” Yoongi’s tone was low and each word articulated in a dangerously slow way, his eyes narrowed and his mouth set in a grim line that promised swift and terrible retribution should the answer to his question be less than agreeable. “What did you just say?” He repeated after a moment when Minhwan had failed to answer, each word practically spat from his mouth.

“The woman, the foreigner, caught in the altercation, her name was Margot Brooks.”

The poor man stumbled over his words unsure what this information had caused such a reaction from his boss. The only reason something so insignificant had been brought up to him in the first place was because the woman was foreign and no one wanted to deal with the hassle the police would make if she brought it to them. There wasn’t much the police would actually do, but they’d put on a show to save face, and that would be a hassle for everyone involved.

“Was she injured?”

“A little- a little bruised, I think.” He replied, stumbling over his words still reeling from the unusual reaction, and the intensity with which his boss was looking at him. “But overall I don’t think she was harmed, maybe a little shaken.”

“I’m going to Yongsan-gu.” His boss announced, abruptly standing from his desk and shrugging on his jacket.

“Sir?”

“Send me the address.”

——-

“I’m fine.” Margot assured, trying to push away the elderly man who continued to fuss over her despite the fact that she was fine, a little bruised, but fine. “You really don’t have to worry about me.”

“Of course I do.” Tae-il huffed, taking the tray of empty dishes away from her. “And you worked all day! You don’t need to come help an old man.”

“Someone needs to help until Maria is released from the hospital.” She reminded him gently, as she took the tray back, carrying it to the kitchen. “Besides, I like helping. It makes me feel useful.” She flashed him a grin, disappearing into the kitchen and ignoring the way her hip ached from the bruise that was firmly settled there. It was a lovely souvenir from when she had been shoved into a table the night before.

The way that Tae-il’s brow scrunched up in concern didn’t escape her. She was well aware of how much the old man loved his wife, and she was also aware of how heavily the medical expenses weighed on his mind. She suspected that they had to do with their visit from what she could only describe as a couple of thugs the night before.

Three men had unceremoniously barged their way into the little noodle shop the night before, overturning tables, pushing her into one when she tried to stop them, and demanding their payment from Tae-il. Unfortunately, the old man had nothing to give them, and they had left with promises to return and threats about what would happen if he didn’t have their money the next time they did.

She’d tried to ask about it. She really had, but Tae-il refused to talk about it. She suspected it was because he was too ashamed about what had happened, but this was the kind of problem that she didn’t think would go away on its own. Her thoughts weren’t really the ones that mattered here though. What mattered was what Tae-il was willing to do, and so far he was unwilling to talk about what had happened or to contact the authorities. The most that she could do was help put things back in order and help around the restaurant as much as she could even if Tae-il was insistent she didn’t need to.

Margot had known Tae-il and Maria for years. They were old friends from her college days when she had been studying abroad. The older couple had no children of their own, and with Maria being an expat herself, they were very sympathetic and more than willing to take in a nervous college student struggling to survive in a new place on her own. They had become her self-proclaimed guardians, and when she’d returned to Korea to teach, they had insisted that she come stay with them instead of getting housing through the school as she had planned to do.

She had just started sweeping the floors when the bell over the door sounded, informing her that a new customer had entered the space.

She raised her head and began to sound off a polite greeting, but the words died in her throat as she saw who was walking in.

There were two men who looked quite similar to the ones who had caused so much chaos the night before and behind them entered a man dressed impeccably in a suit. This she had to assume was someone with more authority in the nonsense that Tae-il had gotten them mixed up in.

“Yah!” She shouted, gripping the handle of the broom firmly. “We already told you we don’t have your money.”

“Ma’am.” The two men bowed politely, making way for their boss who was staring at her with an expression that was completely indiscernible to them and that Margot simply wasn’t paying attention to as she brandished the broom in front of her almost like a weapon.

“Out!” she ordered, sweeping the broom and the subsequent dust from the floor towards them.

“Margot?” The man in the suit spoke her name, calling her attention to him. The way he said it was odd though. It held something halfway between wild hope and disbelief.

“Didn’t you hear me?” She asked sharply. “Out!”

“Margot.”

He stepped forward, taking in the sight of her. The years had changed her. Of course they had. He couldn't expect her to be unchanged in all this time, but it was still her.

Her hair was a little darker. It wasn’t as long anymore, but her eyes were the same. They were the same honeyed brown they had been then, still hidden behind a pair of glasses. They were different glasses now, but they still slipped down her nose in the way they did then.

She eyed him warily, broom still held in front of her as if she were going to whack him with it at any given moment, but the gears were working in her head as he got closer. She was taking him in, examining him just as he had examined her, and he let her, watching with predatory grace as she put the pieces together.

“Yoongi?” she asked after a moment, recognition softening her features into surprise and disbelief instead of the open hostility she had been showing. “Min Yoongi?”

“Margot.” his face lit up in a gummy grin as she let the broom fall, her hands going to cover her mouth and her eyes widened in shock.

“Oh my god!”

All at once she threw herself at him, knocking them both back as he fought for a moment to keep his balance, arms locked around her as he kept them both steady.

“I can’t believe it’s you!” she cried, arms wrapped tightly around his neck. His hold was no less tight as he kept her pressed to him, relishing the feel of her in his arms.

How many years had it been? Six? Seven? It had been far too long, but she was here now. She was here in his arms, and that was what mattered.

She pulled back, eyes scanning his features as she fired off a rapid series of questions. “Oh my god! How long has it been? How have you been? What have you been up to these days? You look great!”

“One question at a time.” he chuckled in the face of her enthusiasm, holding her a little tighter and prompting her to return the hug once more.

“I missed you.” she breathed out, face pressed into the juncture between his shoulder and neck.

“I missed you too.” he admitted softly.

They stayed like that for a minute, both of them basking in the reunion until she let go.

“Come! Sit! Tell me all about life!”

She pushed him towards a table, the men he entered with completely forgotten in her excitement to see her old friend again.

Yoongi obediently sat down, watching with amusement as she darted into the kitchen.

“Have you eaten?” she called over her shoulder, already grabbing something for them both to drink. “Uncle makes the best jajangmyeon. You remember Uncle Tae-il right?” She asked, emerging with two bowls of noodles on a try and a carafe of water with two glasses.

“I can’t believe this place is still here.” he admitted, smiling politely at the old man who was eyeing him warily from the kitchen, more worried for Margot than he was for his restaurant.

They shared a look, and Yoongi understood then that Jung Tae-il was not his ally in this matter at all. The older man knew exactly what Yoongi did these days, and based on his sour expression, he didn’t want Yoongi anywhere near his business or Margot.

“You always did make the best noodles, ahjussi.” he called with a dangerous grin, daring the other man to say anything as he enjoyed his reunion with Margot.

“I know.” Margot sat down with a pleased smile. “I was so happy when I got back and Maria and Tae-il were still here. They were even kind enough to let me have the third floor apartment.”

“How long have you been back?” he asked, picking up his chopsticks.

She thought for a moment, picking up her own chopsticks. “Around two years now?” She estimated. “Is that about right, Uncle?”

Tae-il made a noncommittal noise from the kitchen, still keeping a wary eye on the interaction.

Two years, Yoongi pondered. Two years and he hadn’t known she was here. Two years and she hadn’t reached out to him. She’d been within reach, and he hadn’t known.

“You should have reached out.” He scolded gently, and she blushed sheepishly.

“I would have,” she began hesitantly, “but we parted on such bad terms, and when I finally worked up the courage to do it, your number wasn’t in service anymore. I didn’t have any way to contact you.”

He couldn’t fault her for that. His number had probably changed multiple times since they had parted, but it still burned him that she’d been here, within reach, for two years and he hadn’t even known.

“Tae-il and Maria didn’t know how to reach you either. I think we all assumed you went home to Daegu after school finished.”

But Tae-il clearly knew better, Yoongi thought to himself. The man had reached out to Yoongi’s organization for a loan that he couldn’t seem to pay back. If he had wanted, he could have told Margot that he was in the city.

“What brought you back to Korea?” he asked after a minute, eyes fixed on her intently.

“I came to work.” she shrugged. “I missed it here so I got a job teaching English. What about you? What have you been up to all these years? You really are looking great, Yoongi.”

He smiled crookedly. “I’ve been doing this and that. I’ve got my own business these days.”

“Really? Doing what?”

“A couple different things.” he hedged, not wanting to give too much away. “But I want to hear more about you.”

“Same old same old. I don’t think I’ve changed all that much.”

Yoongi disagreed. She was the same, and yet he could tell that there were things about her that were different and not just about her appearance. Six years was a long time to be apart.

“I’m teaching English at a local school, which is exhausting, but it’s good. I really enjoy the kids.” Her smile was a little more subdued now, but still bright.

“What grades are you teaching?” He asked, cocking his head to the side as he waited for her answer. He wanted to know everything that he’d missed in their time apart.

“I’m teaching the little ones, six to ten year olds. You know?”

“You always were good with kids.” He chuckled, shooting her another crooked grin.

“They drive me batty, but I love them.”

They continued in this way for a while, asking questions and sharing answers back and forth even after they’d finished their meal. Tae-il continued to keep a close eye on them, clearly anxious for when Yoongi and his men, who had taken a seat away from Margot and Yoongi were sitting waiting for their boss to make a move and more than a little bemused by what they were seeing.

The two had settled into old rhythms as they talked, like the fight that had occurred just before she’d left had never happened. It was as if the six years they’d been apart were washed away, and they were right back where they left off, thick as thieves.

“I should let you go.” Margot said after a while, standing to collect both of their bowls, as well as the empty carafe and cups. “It’s getting late, and I don’t want to take up your whole evening.”

“You can take my evenings anytime.”

She narrowed her eyes at him playfully but didn’t say anything as she returned the dishes to the kitchen where Tae-il was anxiously waiting for her.

“Margot,” he began, practically wringing his hands. “I think they should go. That young man… that young man is trouble.”

She looked at him confused. “It’s just Yoongi, Uncle. You remember him from when I was here for college right?”

He shook his head anxiously. “That is not the same boy you knew. The best thing is to get him out of here and forget the whole conversation ever happened.”

She was going to argue, but seeing how anxious Tae-il was gave her pause. “I’ll see him out, Uncle.”

He shot her a grateful smile and returned to what he had been doing before she entered, keeping a watchful eye on her as she went back out.

As she entered the main space again, she saw the two men from earlier talking with Yoongi in hushed tones. Yoongi’s expression set into a grim line she wasn’t familiar with.

“But, boss, aren’t we here about the money?” One of them asked, and Margot’s blood ran cold.

“Shut your fucking mouth.” Yoongi snapped, his eyes narrowed dangerously. “Be grateful that I didn’t skin you and those other fuckers alive for what happened last night. You’re lucky she isn’t injured.”

The bruise on her hip seemed to throb in time with his words as the realization of what he was saying sunk in like a stone settling in the pit of her stomach.

“Boss?” She asked, her voice both confused and indignant. She stepped back, breaking away from his hold. “Those men worked for you?”

“Margot…” Yoongi shot up from the table, eyes wide as he looked at her. He took a step forward, reaching for her, but she took a step back, reaching down for the broom propped against the wall.

She took another step back, holding the broom in front of her as a weapon once more.

“You’re the one who sent those guys here last night?” She demanded the hurt and confusion clear on her face as she stared at him.

“Margot, I can explain.” He tried, but she was having none of it, pushing the broom at him menacingly to keep him back.

“Don’t.” she hissed, tears welling up in her eyes. “Is that the business you run? You terrorize old men and women? You extort money from them?” With every sentence her voice rose in pitch, hysteria rising along with bile in her throat.

“Margot…”

“Get out!” she shouted, pushing the broom at him again. “Get out! Get out! Get out!”

With every yell she pushed him closer and closer towards the door, and with every push Yoongi’s temper rose. He’d only just gotten her back. She was finally within reach again, and now she was trying to push him away? He wasn’t going to accept that lying down.

“Margot,” He growled, grabbing the handle of the broom and wrenching the wretched thing away from her. “Let me explain. This isn’t what it seems.”

She scrambled a couple steps back, trying to put some distance between them. “I think it’s exactly what it seems like.”

“I’m still your Yoongi, Margot.” he tried to plead, schooling his features into something soft, something gentle despite his rising frustration.

“The Yoongi I knew didn’t terrorize people,” she spat, venom on her tongue despite the tears welling in her eyes still. “Or extort them for money.”

“Get out.” she ordered, softly now but sternly.

“Margot…”

“Out!” she whispered fiercely. “Before I call the police.” When he didn’t move she took one step forward and then another until they were toe to toe. “Out!” she ordered shoving him back with both hands against his chest. “Out!”

They continued in this way with Margot pushing him back and Yoongi allowing her to do so while his men watched on flabbergasted as he did until they got to the door. It was at that point that Yoongi grabbed her hands, stopping her from shoving him again, and stared down at her with an indiscernible expression.

“You’re upset now.” he conceded, gently squeezing her hands in his where they were still resting against his chest. “We’ll talk when you’ve calmed down, yeah?”

Keeping both of her wrists secured in one of his hands, he gently brushed some hair out of her face, watching silently as the tears started to fall, but Yoongi knew better than most that these were frustrated tears, angry tears. There was no use trying to explain to her now, not when she was like this.

“Get the fuck out.” she hissed, wrenching her hands away from him and taking a few steps and clutching her hands to her chest as though she had been burned.

“Tae-il nim!” he called, looking over her head towards where the older man was watching the interaction anxiously. “Say hi to the missus for me, yeah?”

All the color drained from Tae-il’s face, and the heat rose in Margot’s cheeks as her fury rose, but before she could say anything, Yoongi had already turned to go, motioning in a lackadaisical way for his men to follow behind as if this had been all been normal, casual even.

Tae-il and Margot watched as they all drove away, not saying a word until they were out of sight and they were both sure they weren’t coming back.

Slowly, Margot turned to her old friend, the grief and horror caused by the revelation written across her face. “What are we going to do?”

(Top Star News Reporter Hwang Seon-yong) BTS Jimin's fandom is expressing dissatisfaction with his agency. They have been pointing out problems with their agency for a long time, but since there is no feedback, they say they can no longer tolerate it. DC Inside BTS's Jimin Gallery and Twitter's Jimin General Team have been holding truck demonstrations since November 13th in front of Hive Co., Ltd.'s headquarters in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, securities companies, and broadcasting companies.

On the truck, “Is Hive the agency of BTS Jimin?”, “Hive is neglecting his duties by not renewing his contract”, “Please explain that Like Crazy did not receive RIAA platinum certification”, “Billboard top-selling song Nomi, please explain for ignoring request to restock single CD”, It contains phrases such as “Sue malicious comments and anti-gallery comments and protect the artist.”

In addition to the truck protest, fans' passionate comments are amplifying by issuing statements on Twitter.

The BTS Jimin Fan Association stated, "The title song 'Like Crazy' from Jimin's first mini-album 'FACE' was based on RIAA platinum certification for selling 1 million units in the U.S. last August, but has not yet been certified due to the agency's inadequate response. They are requesting RIAA Platinum certification for Like Crazy, saying, “We are not receiving the certification.”

“RIAA certification signifies the success of an album or single in the music industry, and the certification itself serves as a marketing tool to help drive sales and streaming. It can lead to more lucrative licensing deals, and as a certified hit, you are more likely to perform well. It allows for high fees and provides several advantages that strengthen the artist's profile. Unlike Japan's RIAJ, America's RIAA requires agency response in the form of paying a certain amount of money and receiving certification. In addition, ' Even though 'Like Crazy' was the first Korean solo artist to be nominated in the Top Selling Song category at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, the agency did not provide any support during the counting period, as local fans in the United States did not meet their demands for a single CD restock even after the first sold out. “It appears,” he said, raising his voice.

He also said, "The agency's helpless response to malicious comments and anti-sexual posts has also been pointed out. Due to these various problems, it can be said that Hive has revealed a lack of artist management ability, lack of marketing ability, and major loopholes in career management."

Through statements and truck demonstrations, he is demanding improved management and professional artist care, and is strongly calling for an official apology, explanation, and communication from those responsible. The fandom has been going through a difficult time due to the lack of management and poor care from the agency, so they are predicting a long-term battle, saying, ‘This time, we will go to the end.’ Attention is being paid to what kind of answer the agency will provide.

Below is the full statement from the BTS Jimin Fan Association: BTS Jimin Fan Association is your company, HYBE Co. We have raised the following issues with (Hive Co., Ltd.) for a long time, but have not received any feedback, so we are issuing this statement and strongly request your company's active and sincere implementation as soon as possible.

Like Crazy will be certified RIAA Platinum. "Jimin's first mini-album title song 'Like Crazy' last August became the first song by a KPOP solo artist released in 2023 to exceed 1 million units sold in the United States. Nevertheless, to this day, 'Like Crazy' RIAA Platinum certification for RIAA Platinum certification has not been submitted and is therefore unlisted. RIAA certification helps boost an artist's profile in the music industry and can provide a variety of benefits that can lead to lucrative licensing deals. Therefore, it is a worthy certification. “I ask for it.”

The separation of streaming totals for the Korean and English versions of Like Crazy Spotify will be explained. "On March 26, 2023, the title song 'Like Crazy' of Jimin's first mini album ranked first on Spotify's global chart. Afterwards, for unknown reasons, along with errors such as the song's credits being suddenly modified, The two versions of streaming have been separated. This will inevitably be detrimental to Spotify's global charts, Spotify's charts in each country, and year-end cumulative streaming statistics. Spotify said that this phenomenon occurred at the request of the agency. , we need an explanation from your company that fans can understand about this.

Explain and apologize for not restocking the Like Crazy US single CD. “The 'Like Crazy' single CD in the US has not been restocked after the first sale was sold out. This song was repeatedly predicted to be a candidate for the BBMA (Bill Board Music Awards) Top Selling Song category, and in fact became the first Korean solo artist to be nominated in that category. However, there was no support from your company to win the main award during the counting period, and local fans in the United States also continued to request resale, but your company did not even respond to this. “We demand an explanation and apology for this so that something like this never happens again.”

Take measures to protect artists. "It is the company's natural duty to protect its artists. We strongly demand that your company take aggressive legal action against the spread of false information and personal information leaks about Jimin in domestic online communities, SNS, YouTube, etc. In particular, DC Inside. The situation, which has not been resolved even though fans have been providing information about malicious comments made on , Nateboard, etc. for several years, is unbearable and difficult to understand. There is a high possibility that this problem will be exploited maliciously. Considering the impact this may have on the artist and fandom, we demand a strict response to this issue.”

We request your company's quick action and feedback regarding the above. 2023. 11. 12 All members of BTS Jimin’s fan union.

[221105] Naver Article Exclusive [ATEEZ, a leading idol, donated 100 million won to support the Itaewon disaster...Conceptual walking]

According to multiple officials, ATEEZ donated 100 million won (~$72,000 USD) from their Seoul concerts’ proceeds to the National Disaster Relief Association in support of the Itaewon accident.

On the 29th of last month, a large-scale crowd gathered around Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, for Halloween Day, causing a crush. According to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters on the 4th, 156 people were killed and 191 people were injured. ATEEZ donated some of the proceeds from their concert to express their condolences to the victims of the disaster.

In fact, ATEEZ is a 'good boy' hidden in the entertainment industry. They have secretly donated to various relief organizations such as Good Neighbors, Children's Foundation, and UNICEF. Members Mingi and Yeosang also participated in donating voice talent to read fairy tales for the vulnerable, and Hongjoong said he will hold a free photo exhibition ahead of his birthday on November 7 to donate support for children dreaming of music under the name of his fans.

ATEEZ is currently showing off their global upward trend. They successfully completed their world tour in North America and Europe within four months of their debut and gained extraordinary popularity overseas, ranking fifth on the Billboard World Chart and first on the iTunes album chart even before their first anniversary. In addition, the 2020 world tour "ATEEZ World Tour The Fellowship: Map the Treasure" attracted 100,000 viewers, setting the record for the largest number of tour attractions in the shortest period since its debut in K-pop history. This year, they have also been able to enter the third place of Billboard's main album chart, "Billboard 200," and "The World EP.1; Movement" has surpassed 1 million copies in total sales, making it a million seller. In the first half of the year, they met 180,000 fans around the world on a world tour.

With this momentum, ATEEZ will continue its world tour, "The Fellowship: Break the Wall," starting with a performance in Seoul on October 29. They will leave the country on the 3rd and meet with global fans through 15 performances in 10 cities, including Oakland, Anaheim, Phoenix, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Newark, Canada, and Chiba, Japan.

HIS FAVOURITE NUMBER is 8.

SE3OUL LOVES listening to instrumental MUSIC and wants to try composing a piece inspired by the stuff he listens to if he finds the TIME someday.

SE3OUL’S MOTTO: “your EGO can cost someone their LIFE. it’s better to be a GOOD HUMAN.”

HE DOESN’T LIKE vegetables much but he says he FORCES himself to EAT them because he wants to be BIG and STRONG and wants to make JIMIN feel small.

Nome: Na Bongcha Faceclaim: Umji, VIVIZ Data de nascimento e idade: 19.08.1998 — 25 anos Gênero: Feminino Etnia e nacionalidade: Sul-coreana, Coreia do Sul

Moradia: Yongsan-gu Ocupação: Caixa, Loud Nightclub Qualidades: Espontânea, independente Defeitos: Individualista, fofoqueira User: @bks_bongcha

TW: N/A

A vida de Bongcha nunca foi muito ruim. Sendo a mais nova de quatro irmãos homens, o posto de princesinha da família até que tinha suas vantagens e os pais passavam bastante pano pros desvios de comportamento que apresentou ao longo de seu crescimento. Afinal de contas, o peso do sucesso estava mesmo nas costas dos irmãos homens, que eram aqueles que passariam o sobrenome do pai a frente, o que dava à garota o único trabalho de ser bonita e não-tão-burra.

Mas ela não era burra. Bongcha era muito, muito esperta. E enquanto ninguém estava prestando atenção, ela se destacou na escola como uma mistura de troublemaker muito inteligente. Ela gostava de matar aulas pra se agarrar com qualquer um no vestiário, bebia escondido e pode-se dizer que era uma má influência por criar intrigas entre os colegas com as fofocas que ficava sabendo. Mas, para o desespero dos que achavam que ela seria uma concorrência a menos no mundo cruel da educação sul-coreana, Bongcha era aquela que ficava em segundo lugar no ranking dos alunos de toda a escola depois das provas, quando todo mundo esperava que fosse a última.

Isso certamente lhe rendeu inimigos dentro dos muros do colégio, mas Bongcha não podia se importar menos. O universo escolar era divertido, mas fora dele a jovem aprendeu a se aventurar em trabalhos de meio-período para ter dinheiro para comprar suas coisas. Com os pais tão focados em formar filhos homens de sucesso, sobrava pouco dinheiro e atenção para ela, então Bongcha precisava se virar. Ela nunca mendigava atenção dos pais, entendia o lado deles e só vivia para não ser um peso, mas mal sabem eles que isso contribuiu para o desenvolvimento de sua independência.

Sendo assim, foi a primeira a sair de casa. Com 21 anos, ela não havia entrado na universidade logo depois de se formar, porém isso não importava. Um dos seus irmão estava fazendo Medicina na SNU; o outro, Direito na Yonsei. Sendo assim, ela tinha o privilégio de não precisar de importar tanto com a aprovação dos pais, apenas dela mesma.

Bongcha tinha intenção de ingressar em um curso como Pedagogia ou Psicologia, mas enquanto não decidia, vivia sua vida simples em um apartamento pequeno e com um trabalho de caixa em uma boate.

OOC: +18 Triggers: Estupro, pedofilia, xenofobia, racismo Temas de interesse: Todos

The Killing Vote: more on Joohyun, Kwon Seokju & Kim Muchan

The Killing Vote (ep. 1-5 notes) The Killing Vote (ep. 6 & overall notes)

It was supposed to be an edit to the previous post, but it would make it even longer than it already is, so I decided to make a separate post! (and I believe it would also exceed the screenshot limit by reeeeeeally far haha)

Have a nice week!!!!

(SPOILERS UP TO EPISODE 6!!!!)

I saw someone notice on the kr twitter that Joohyun smiled as she made KMC hear KSJ say he felt deeply for her. You can also say Joohyun looked happy from hearing these words again.

They said you could see KMC’s reaction afterwards as jealousy in addition to projecting his past on her and warning her (because he too was under KSJ’s influence and he probably sees his past self in her ; the user mentioned his sentence 'I told you not to get too close to him. He completely fooled you' as something he could say out of these conflicting emotions).

Now that made me think about the 당신 KSJ used to address Joohyun in the moment recorded (‘I feel deeply for you’):

The formal 2nd-person pronoun 당신, but its uses are specific and rare. Most of the time in kr the subject is implied, and you would rather address someone by their title or name (with an honorific if need be) depending on your relationship.

Eg. Joohyun calls KMC 팀장님/team leader and KSJ 교수님/professor, Joomin calls her sister 언니/big sister.

Note: 언니 can also be used by a female speaker for an older woman she’s close to eg. a friend, a girlfriend (like 형 = younger man -> older man ; 오빠 = younger woman -> older man or 누나 = younger man -> older woman).

You can also use the informal pronoun 너 when addressing people the same age or younger than you that you’re close to (and not older, unless your interlocutor asked you to/gave their ok and even still, saying it in public could be a problem/awkward), or to a kid (even though a polite speech would be preferred) or an animal. It would sound rude otherwise. It could also be between people dating/very close regardless of their age.

Eg.: — KSJ addresses KMC with 너 sometimes in particular moments like ‘You wanted to kill him too.’ or ‘I wished you were Gaetal/Is it really not you?/I will never forgive you.’ ; — KMC & Choi Jinsu with Joohyun & Jodan respectively sometimes ; — Jodan & Joohyun ; — Joohyun with her sister ; KMC with Jihoon & Joomin ; Jihoon & Joomin …

And even though 당신 is part of the formal and polite speech, it’s often used in arguments. I’ll quote this page which explains its different uses really clearly:

-> between married couples (it’s not a pronoun younger couples use typically, some middle-aged couples use it)

-> in a confrontational/demeaning tone, when you intend to be rude to the other person (that’s what you would often hear in kdramas haha)

-> as a reflexive pronoun

-> when the listener/audience is non specific in writing (eg. books, ads, language textbooks, …) & in poetic/romantic context (eg. songs, poems, …):

« (…) 당신 is okay to use if there’s no actual person physically present in front of you receiving the communication, [which] means that either THEY are not there or YOU are not there. Examples: — Songs. You hear 당신 a lot in songs because a song is not one person talking to another person. It’s a broadcast. The listener is non-specific. Even if the song is about someone in particular, is called “Hee Jin” or its lyrics are “This song is for Hee Jin Lee, who lives at 302-12 Royal County, Apartment 304, Yongsan-gu, Seoul”, and there’s absolutely no doubt about who the song is for. That person is still not there in front of you, so 당신 is okay. If you wrote this song for someone named Hee-Jin and you were singing it at a concert that she was attending, it would still be okay. If, however, you write a song called “Hee Jin” for your girlfriend and then you decide to serenade her outside her window, I’d highly recommend you NOT use 당신 [but rather] Hee Jin. — Advertisements. Because it’s non-personal communication for a non-specific listener. Even if YOU are there, the dude that wrote the ad is not. » « If you don’t know your interlocutor at all (eg. name, title, age, …), 당신 is not used commonly in speech, but you can use it if you really have no idea how to refer to a stranger and you feel you need to emphasize ‘you’ in a sentence. » (though you would usually rather use 그쪽 to address a stranger safely in a polite way) « 당신 is politer than 너, but is still not considered very polite because it is too direct to refer to someone as 'you' unless the two parties are on familiar terms. »

Note: ever since she met him, Joohyun used to adress KSJ as 권석주씨/Mr. KSJ, but she now calls him 교수님/Professor after he saved her life.

— This was the only time KSJ used 당신 to address Joohyun and in a moment he wanted to convey more personal feelings ; and even in the previous clause ('If you understand Gaetal for the reason I believe'), he addressed her as 주경위 (Insp. Joo): he could've just left the next clause ('then I deeply feel for you.') without a subject since we could understand from the context it was all about Joohyun.

KSJ always speaks to Joohyun with formal and informal high respect. It would make sense that he deliberately changed the way he usually addresses her, emphasizing the ‘you’ with 당신, to convey his compassion and regard her, as an individual and not the inspector, with respect.

Indeed, 당신 is a formal polite pronoun to call somebody that’s on equal footing with you so that would totally align with his conversation with Joohyun:

« Most of the relationships in this society are highly vertical. Comparing your boss to your parents or calling each other with your job titles shows it’s all about power. (…) Calling people by these titles gives you the feeling that you cannot mess with them. »

— Just before 당신 can be heard in the recording, we have a shot of Joohyun observing KMC, as if she’s ready to gauge KMC’s reaction once he hears what’s next.

— The moment 당신 was played KMC redirected his attention to the recording, frowning ; his jaw clenching, he looked at Joohyun. Letting out a sigh and clicking his tongue, he then proceeded to ask « Anything that wasn’t recorded that’s bothering you? » in an aloof tone, averting his gaze.

When 당신 played:

His reaction after the recording ended:

In addition to being restless because he wants to find leads in the investigation (thus not wanting to lose time over something he would deem useless), I can see why this could be read as KMC wanting to change the subject out of a bit of jealousy.

— Perhaps KSJ considered the possibility Joohyun might record their exchanges and, in all likelihood, make KMC listen to them since he’s her superior.

If that's the case, then 당신 could also address KMC as a non-specific audience: he was not there when Joohyun and him talked, and KSJ is not there when Joohyun plays the recording to KMC.

Through his exchange with Joohyun, KSJ manages to address the two of them: Joohyun, as he faced her in person, and if so KMC, indirectly through the recording.

Whether KMC realized it or not (provided this guess holds some truth) is another question though! Perhaps what this user saw as jealousy could also be read as emotion and then self-consciousness once he realized Joohyun watched?

This would not be the first time the three of them communicate through one another:

— KMC asks Joohyun to mention the ‘devils deemed innocent’ line when she interviews the inmates so that KSJ reacts to it.

— KSJ knows KMC listens Joohyun’s interview and addresses him directly in order to negotiate his pardon.

— You can notice it was first KMC who introduced Joohyun to KSJ (because he refused his visit request), but it’s now KSJ who wants Joohyun as her messenger. If Joohyun understood KSJ’s intentions, she then also tried to convey KSJ’s feelings to KMC: since KMC confided in her his guilt, and she thought that if KSJ hated him because he needed somebody to blame, she perhaps wanted to comfort him. That could also explain her smile in KMC’s direction because she maybe hoped to patch things up between the two of them.

After all, from the whole exchange, the drama showed KMC hearing this sole line on the rooftop: « If you understand Gaetal for the reason I believe, then I feel deeply for you. »

One could argue they wanted to direct our attention to this line in particular, and that’s exactly what Joohyun also does in the drama when she’s home:

— She also made a similar expression (eyes widening and a half-smirk) to when she found KSJ said something interesting in ep2 (since she takes a particular interest in wording as she collects and analyzes data): did something catch her attention this time too?

And this also reminds me of this moment in ep5:

It could be read the same way:

-> KMC is obviously startled because this specific request is unusual for KSJ

-> He looks apprehensive/alarmed about what this means (eg. did Gaetal instruct him? Is KSJ planning something on his own?). He could also be potentially worried for Joohyun!

-> KSJ looks like he definitely knows this exchange throws KMC off and he will have no choice but to accept the request anyway if he wants his help ; he also seems to be a bit amused by KMC’s reaction.

-> But his spite in front of KSJ (the tone of ’That won’t be possible’, the tensed head tilt, the tongue click and the corner of his lips twitching as he justifies his agreement in a heavy sigh ‘I was going to assign Lt. Joo for data analysis anyway, so this isn’t special treatment.’) & his exchange with Joohyun afterwards (esp. when she protests as he orders her to bring KSJ near the culprits to recognize Gaetal & she asks him why KSJ wants her to be his messenger) could be seen as bitterness over the whole situation.

This kind of dynamic between KMC and Joohyun could definitely align with their habit to investigate on their own without the other knowing because they have some reservations over fully trusting each other.

I didn’t catch it when I watched ep5, but Joohyun crossed both KMC, Choi Jinsu as well as BWT’s parents (who are deceased) from the list with red lines to rule them out as suspects.

After looking nervous/embarrassed as she gets to KMC’s profile in front of KSJ, she bothered giving an explanation only as to why the last three were out of the suspects’ list. Which means she probably thought KSJ might not need one for KMC.

tldr: those three have a triangular relationship going onnnnnnn (and I don’t even know which kind of triangle this is all about anymore at this point haha, Karpman’s? Love? Both?)
