Attorney Kang Tae-hoon

Chapter 33

Lawyer Kang Tae-hoon Episode 33

Lee Jong-tak’s older sister, Lee Hyun-ji, had a beautiful appearance. She has dark brown eyes and pure white skin. Her nose and slender jawline extending to her double line. Another look on her cold face shows that she is quite strict. She visited Hanmaeum Law Firm.

“What did you come here for?”

Min-hoo, who was about to get up from her seat and send a fax, tilted her head.

“I came to see lawyer Kang Tae-hoon.”

“Oh, you’re sitting over there.”

“Is that him?”

She found Tae-Hoon and frowned. She is the age of Hyunji Lee this year she was 32 years old. However, Tae-hoon, who was sitting as a lawyer, looked younger than himself.

It was probably natural for a small distrust to arise.

In fact, she ran in many directions to hire a lot of lawyers.

But she did say that she could mostly ‘win’, but she didn’t have her trust.

These days, vicious law firms are on the run.

After she said ‘I can win’, she ended up with a lot of lawyers leading the story with ‘settlement’.

For that reason, she saw a newspaper article and asked for it through an acquaintance, and I thought that the tribe of ‘human rights lawyers’ would be no different from them in the end.

“Ah, are you the older sister of the client, Jong-tak Lee?”

Kang Tae-hoon quickly got up and bowed his head in polite manner.

Displeased with the young lawyer, she nodded her head and sat down dissatisfied.

“This time, we met with our CEO and Mr. Lee Jong-tak to hear about the circumstances of the case.”

“How do you feel?”

Taehoon thought for a moment at her question and answered.

“You have a chance to win.”

“under… … !”

She spit in the wind. In the end, the answer was the same as everyone else.

‘I’m not young.’

Anyone can see that a lawyer with years of experience is more reliable than a young lawyer.

Tae-hoon nodded her head, and he held out the material he had researched in front of her.

“I guess for what reason. Please check this document.”

She confirmed the research.

“I will start with the first chapter. Please note that Chapter 2 of the Constitution is the Rights and Duties of the People. Article 10 stipulates that “all citizens have dignity and worth as human beings and have the right to pursue happiness”. If you look just below, the ‘Act on the Treatment of Prisoners’ also exists. Article 4 Respect for Human Rights. When implementing this law, it is written that the human rights of prisoners should be respected to the fullest extent. Is that correct?”

“Yes. It is written that way.”

She crossed her arms and thought she was still reciting the law.

“It will be an administrative lawsuit,” she said. And their argument I expected is that inmates under Article 32 Paragraph 2 of the Act on the Treatment of Prisoners must keep their hair or beard neat for hygiene reasons, and they will fall over.”

“Hmm, yes.”

She opened her ears and listened to Taehoon’s continued words.

“But there is no rule of a few centimeters anywhere. In other words, it is stated to be ‘determined’. It is the fact that Mr. Lee Jong-tak was treated unfairly in this regard. Is that right?”

“Yes? Yes Yes.”

She listened intently, and then she nodded her head in response to his question.

The distrust subsided at some point and made people listen.

“In addition, in 2007, the hair-hair rule in Kyo-do was abolished. Literally, it is a story that the warden can’t even cut it. This can only be seen as an ‘abuse of discretion’. For that reason, we are planning to cancel the punishment given to Lee Jong-tak at the Gwangju Prison through the ‘Corruption of Punishment Revocation Lawsuit’.””Ah… … .”

A glimmer of hope appeared on her stern face for a moment, and then disappeared again for a moment.

“Do you have some faith now?”

Taehyung smiled brightly. From that smile, a red glow appeared on Lee Hyun-ji’s face in an instant.

The moment when distrust turns into belief. He was embarrassed by himself.

“sorry.”

“Fine. It’s because I’m young and handsome. what.”

Taehyung laughed playfully. Lee Hyeon-ji smiled slightly at his cleverness.

“I will serve you a cup of coffee. There are so many things I want to talk about slowly.”

Taehoon got up and took two cups of coffee with the coffee mix.

After that he set down a drink in front of her.

“In addition to this, I believe that there are several other things that Jong-tak Lee has received in his lifetime. Can you teach me the injustices?”

* * *

Tae-hoon was rethinking his thoughts on LGBT people while listening to the stories coming out of Hyeon-ji Lee’s mouth.

Lee Jong-tak, who knew he was different from other boys from elementary school, began to be discriminated against as he entered middle school.

It was the same for his teachers and for the children in his class.

He was often bullied at school, and there was also a story of a teacher jokingly accusing him of ‘wearing a bell-tack skirt and going to school’.

It would have come closer to more severe discrimination as they got older. And eventually it happened.

At university, he accidentally swung a cutter knife at a person who had always discriminated and teased him because he was a sexual minority, and eventually became a prisoner.

“Jong-tak tried to die not only once or twice. That’s funny. He’s just thinking a little differently.”

Tae-hoon nodded at Lee Hyun-ji’s words as he grabbed a paper cup of coffee that had already cooled.

“Maybe this trial is not just about Lee Jong-tak’s rights.”

Hyeon-ji Lee raised her head and looked at Tae-hoon’s face.

She was smiling.

“I think it will be an opportunity for Lee Jong-tak, who has always been discriminated against, to take a leap forward with a new idea. We will do our best to win.”

“Ah yes.”

Lee Hyeon-ji doesn’t know why she suddenly had a strong belief in the young lawyer in front of her.

Is it because his tone of speech is different from that of ordinary lawyers?

Or is there something else?

His eyes were deep and still, and they contained many things.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom.”

Taehyung stood up for a moment.

After he disappeared, CEO Park Moon-soo, who was sitting there, approached him.

“how is it. Is this friend okay?”

“Ah yes.”

“He’s a better friend than he looks. He is a friend who is working in such a shabby place, but he has the skills that were ranked among the top in the Judicial Research and Training Institute. Trust me and give it a try.”

“Is that so?”

Lee Hyun-ji was a little surprised. Judicial Training Institute. It was a fact that everyone knew where Korea’s top-ranked geniuses gathered.

Tae-Hoon Kang, a man who said he had a grade of 1% even at such a training institute.

He was clearly different from other lawyers.

After going to the bathroom, Tae-Hoon found Lee Hyun-Ji waking up.

“Will you come in?”

“Yes.”

“I plan to visit Kyokyo Island one more time around tomorrow.”

“all right. Oh yeah. This is my business card. Please contact me if anything happens.”

After receiving her business card, Taehoon politely handed over his business card as well.

Under the label of Hanmaeum Law Firm, ‘Kang Tae-hoon’s human rights lawyer’ was written.

‘I am a human rights lawyer… … .’

Once again, I felt that I was different from other lawyers.

As she left, Tae-hoon checked her business card.

The trademark was written ‘Jeil Publishing House’.

Below that was written ‘Lee Hyun-ji, CEO’.

“Huh?”

Tae-hoon looked at him involuntarily, then quickly turned his attention to the business card.

He widened his eyes.

“CEO. Maybe Lee Jong-tak’s older sister… … .”

“That’s right. You are the writer of ‘Daughter Like a Prince’ and also the CEO of Cheil Publishing House.”

“Hey.”

Taehoon swallowed the empty wind. The work ‘Daughter Like a Prince’ was a novel about a sexual minority who was a son but had a female orientation.

It clearly and clearly expresses the conflict structure between the two people and the way a boy with female tendencies sees the world.

As one of the bestsellers in Korea, 2 million copies were sold nationwide and 2 billion in profits were sold overseas.

‘I’ll have to get an autograph next time I see you.’

This is a book that Taehoon also felt a lot of.

* * *

Prisoner Son Hong-jun didn’t like a lawyer named Kang Tae-hoon. Most of the lawyers who come to ordinary inmates are dry.

Because they were prisoners.

But Taehyung seemed a little different.

As he sat down and waited, he scooped out a lot of things.

Soon after, prison guard Son Hong-jun handcuffed Lee Jong-tak and led him.

“Professor. My stomach hurts. I think I should get some medical examination after the visit.”

‘flea… … .’

Inspector Son Hong-jun frowned. He said he had a stomach ache and nausea since yesterday, so he took him to the infirmary and gave him digestive medicine.

Still saying it hurts

‘You think like a woman, so your body is weak.’

He clicked his tongue.

“Once the visit is over, tell me if you are still sick.”

He answered and opened the door. Jong-tak nodded his head meekly. I knew that lawyer Kang Tae-hoon had come a long way from Seoul.

Even if he was sick, he decided that he should visit him.

“Where do you like it?”Jong-tak, who sat over the glass wall, didn’t like the color of his face, so he looked at the guard in the meeting room behind him.

“Since yesterday, I have been feeling a bit unwell, so I have been taking digestive medicines.”

‘I don’t think it’s just a bad feeling… … .’

“Fine.”

Jongtak shook his head.

“Yes. So let’s talk briefly about how to proceed. For now, we will proceed with a lawsuit against the Gwangju Prison.”

He glanced at the guard in the meeting room behind him.

Again, they didn’t like the idea of ​​suing them against their prison.

“And I would like to point out every single detail of the discrimination that Lee Jong-tak has experienced in prison. Has there ever been such a coercive haircut rule in the previous prison?”

“no. Only here… … .”

While Lee Jong-tak said so, he seemed to be paying attention to Son Hong-jun. Jong-tak was being discriminated against because he was a more sexual minority here in Gwangju prison.

He wasn’t just the guards.

Prisoners often avoided, cursed, and ignored Jongtak.

Far from being properly controlled by the guards, it was happening when they openly ignored the bell table just like the prisoners.

Taehoon taught me how to file a lawsuit. There is little time left.

“Your sister is a very famous writer.”

“I wrote the novel for the first time because of me. To break down some prejudice against sexual minorities. but… … .”

Jong-tak has a sad look. The fact that 2 million copies were sold could be said to have been read by at least 3 million people in Korea.

However, the perception of sexual minorities has not changed.

“I am very grateful to my sister. You might even hate me… … .”

Taehyung only smiled at his words.

The older sister became a best-selling author at a young age and is the head of a publishing company, but the younger sister herself is imprisoned in prison, so it’s a shame.

“Where is the one who hates his brother?”

Taehyung’s words seemed to be somewhat comforting.

“Big.”

Jong-tak let out a shallow moan as the feeling of being stabbed for a moment intensified.

Inspector Son Hong-jun approached me.

“What, why?”

The pain was suddenly amplifying greatly.

“Are you okay, Jong-tak Lee?”

Taehyung was also terrified. He eventually fell to the floor and was about to fall. I saw the guard holding him up.

Because it was beyond the glass wall, Tae-hoon got up with a burning stomach.

“haha.”

His face contorted in intense pain.

“Call the doctor. Come on!”

Taehoon urgently shouted to the guard.

I remembered that prison officer Son Hong-jun prescribed a digestive medicine yesterday. The doctor in the infirmary with sleepy eyes diagnosed Jong-tak with ‘indigestion’ and gave him digestive medicine.

Inwardly, even Hong-jun rubbed his sleepy eyes, and he was caught.

It was rather angry.

Jong-tak’s pain-filled moans were amplifying.
