He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (300)

[Citizens, from this moment on, we will begin the fight to rebuild our nation in accordance with the will of the Marshal. Today is winter, but our words and will will melt even this cold, and the spring that follows will reborn Korea in the bosom of democracy.]

This is Gyeongseong, and Mrs. Kim Ho-nam can’t take her eyes off the TV.

My husband, who literally failed miserably while getting into politics, tried to keep his children from getting involved in politics, but I guess blood is thicker than water.

First, I watched my son’s speech to the nation.

[First, we pay tribute to those who made Korea what it is today. Korea, which had only recently become independent, was exposed to oppression from foreign powers and the invasion of communism, but thanks to the presence of the Marshal, we were able to protect our country. We will also not forget that there were countless heroes who protected us.]

Mrs. Kim Ho-nam nodded.

Although he may be a dictator, it is an undeniable fact that the head of state is the pillar that supports the country, and a good ruler is always accompanied by excellent subjects.

National Assembly Speaker Ji Cheong-cheon, Prime Minister Lee Beom-seok, and countless public servants who have not been named but have silently faithfully fulfilled their roles – the people who have worked hard to rebuild the country, today’s Korea exists thanks to their dedication and efforts.

My son, who knows that very well,

But what followed was a little bitter.

[My father could also be remembered as a hero who devoted himself to his country. Although he has the stain of having written a blood oath to the Japanese, it is true that he did his best to rebuild his independent country. He led the Korean army to victory in the Songho War, fought a diplomatic war against the United States and Japan, and achieved domestic achievements such as balanced regional development and the development of heavy and chemical industries.

I still can’t understand how such a person became a traitor who planned a coup. Perhaps his greed for power and factional politics turned him into a distorted hero.

Many people probably won’t trust me, since the son of such a sinner will go into politics. That’s natural. Trust isn’t something that can be built overnight. I won’t ignore the footsteps my father left in Korean history. I will learn from his good deeds and use his bad deeds as a negative example.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now living in a peaceful era where war has disappeared, but behind this, we are faced with hatred and distrust toward each other, and various social problems. Just look at the United States, and you will see business failures, low wages, deepening inequality, and the resulting division of public opinion.

The leader said that it was young people like us who could solve this problem. He also said to me, “A quirky old man like me is no longer patient enough to solve the problem peacefully.”

But I would like to express my gratitude to the leader on behalf of the people. Even from the position of absolute supremacy, he always evaluated himself coolly and prepared a flowerbed for democracy to bloom again.

This is the third chance the enemy has given me.

This is an opportunity for democracy to blossom again. We will do our best to live up to those expectations.]

The people watching this broadcast were shocked.

Did the head of state really describe himself as a ‘crazy old man’?

Everyone found it hard to believe, but Mrs. Kim Ho-nam nodded.

As a family, we know that the head of state is cool-headed, but on the other hand, he has an eccentric personality.

So, isn’t the idea that we can raise young people and make this rigid society a little more flexible?

The head of state is still a gun man, especially since he described himself as a ‘crazy old man’.

The problem was whether these young people with greenhorn talent could properly lead the country, and Mrs. Kim Ho-nam was worried about that.

“Your Majesty, the members of the Central Committee have arrived.”

“Um, tell them to come in.”

This is Geumneung, I greeted guests in my office.

The centrist party, which I am raising this time, may not be necessary since the National Assembly and political parties were abolished when the Wonsoobu came in.

But isn’t it the role of a leader to plant an apple tree even if the Earth is destroyed tomorrow?

Will Korea be able to revolve around the Wonsoobu even after I die?

The future of democratic politics, which has come full circle, is being entrusted to these young people.

I am now an omnipotent being, and because of that I have lost my patience.

That’s why I disparaged myself as a quirky old man, and I asked the young people to fill in what this country lacked.

“As you know, Korean society is too rigid these days. If you think about it, it’s my fault. We impose too much social control in the name of catching criminals. That’s why I’m asking you. Am I being too harsh? Should I adopt a conciliatory policy now?”

The young men looked around.

Even if it was a candid meeting, would it be possible to speak frankly in front of the head of state? My blood-related cousin shouldered the burden.

“Your Majesty, I don’t think Korean society is rigid.”

“Why?”

“Rigidity is regulating things that don’t need to be regulated. For example, you can’t read comics, you can’t play games, things like that.”

I nodded.

Can we say that society has become rigid when all we do is strengthen the police force and execute the death penalty to catch criminals?

However, controlling the entertainment that the people enjoy, such as comics, games, and music, must be seen as a sign of society’s rigidity.

The future I lived in was exactly like that. Even after democratization in 1987, cultural censorship by the government continued.

Even if albums were released to avoid government surveillance, they would be censored again by broadcasting stations, so in effect a small group of people held cultural power, and because of this, various genres of literature could not develop in Korea.

The same goes for movies. In 1960, a private organization called the National Film Ethics Committee was established, which temporarily eased cultural controls.

However, with the military coup of May 16, prior censorship began again, centered around the Ministry of Education, and in 1962, prior censorship was confirmed with the enactment of the ‘Film Act.’

The rigidity that has not changed even after the end of the military era, I am a person who was involved in politics in that era, so when it comes to cultural regulations, I frown.

Murderers who should be regulated – drunk drivers are allowed to roam the streets, and cultural figures who should be free to act are regulated. What kind of a baseless policy is this?

So, criminals are held in a leash that makes it impossible for them to breathe, while the music, game and movie industries are untouched.

Can we still say that Korea is a rigid society?

I’ve always wondered that, and the youth have provided the answer.

“I agree with you. Korean society is not rigid, but rather pursues correctness.”

“Haha~ Do you really think so? When young people say things like that, my mind feels a little relieved.”

I nodded.

My methods may be a bit eccentric, but I guess they’re not off the rails.

And now, these young people should inherit my political style, and I have continued to support them in both material and spiritual ways.

“Wait a minute, what the hell is this?”

“A college professor wrote this?”

This is the Central Intelligence Agency, and a novel has fallen into the hands of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The title of the book is ‘Happy Sarah’, and it is about the female protagonist having free sex with numerous men, including a college professor.

How can a university professor write a novel like this?

It would be pointless to throw him in jail for indecency, but a different voice was heard from the Central Committee.

“If you look at it that way, Chunhyangjeon is also an obscene novel. Are you going to disparage Chunhyangjeon by calling it an obscene novel?”

This is actually a bit obscene, but there is a line like this in the novel.

[The Crystal Palace within the Dragon Palace, the Gwanghan Palace within the Moon Palace, when you and I are united, our whole life will be endless, let us abandon all palaces and use my sinew club to make a path to the Water Dragon Palace between your two legs.]

[Having sex is really easy. If you and I take off our clothes, play with each other, hug each other, and play, what else is that if not having sex? If you’re too embarrassed to take your clothes off, I’ll take them off first.]

Would you believe that this is what the young master said to Chunhyang?

For reference, the two people are set to be 16-17 years old, and people in the Joseon Dynasty enjoyed listening to this thrilling story as pansori.

The problem was that during the Japanese colonial period, the story of Chunhyang contained so many embarrassing contents that even the Japanese had difficulty understanding it.

“Who distorted this?”

“Isn’t Chunhyang a chaste woman who refused the magistrate’s request to protect her integrity?”

Chunhyangjeon is a widely known cultural story in Japan.

In fact, it was translated into Japanese and published.

Anyone who opened the book would think it was a story of a chaste woman, but it contained such content. In fact, when several scholars found the original copy of the story of Chunhyang and interpreted it, surprisingly, there was no distortion at all.

People of the Joseon Dynasty were more obscene than you might think, and there was no need to hide their true nature. If you keep hiding it, it will go in a strange direction, but Joseon literary figures ridiculed Chunhyangjeon as an obscene novel.

As the Japanese colonial period began, new literature was pouring in, but would they treat such low-quality, obscene novels that the common people laughed at and enjoyed as literature?

In this way, literary figures showed a dualistic side by building their own surnames and excluding literature that did not fit with them.

Compared to trot, trot music is of low quality, that’s what I mean.

If you think about it, literary figures are also a group that is at the forefront of cultural censorship. How can we develop the literary industry with that kind of mindset?

The moderates made it clear that cultural censorship should be minimized.

“There are worse novels in the newspapers. If we leave them alone and suppress Professor Ma’s happy Sarah, this is a targeted investigation.”

The Central Intelligence Agency was speechless.

You can ignore those kind of kids, but the problem is that the leader of the centrist party is the older brother of the head of state.

In addition, since it was receiving support from the head of state, the Central Intelligence Agency was in a position where it could not act rashly, and thus Professor Ma Kwang-soo’s Joyful Sarah passed the review and was officially published.

“Hey, you dirty bastard!!”

“A guy called a professor is writing a novel like this!! Is that your dream to do that with a high school girl?!! Are you writing down your fantasies?!! Huh?!!”

But public backlash did not easily subside.

Didn’t the university professor express his sexual preference in writing? However, according to the investigation of the press team, Professor Ma Kwang-soo had nothing to do with such controversy.

Although he may be rude in front of the public, he is a gentlemanly professor in front of his students. He criticizes pretense and demands honesty about sex.

“The head of state also said that if you suppress people’s desires, they will go to strange places. We are all just the result of men and women taking off their clothes and rolling around. What good is denying that?

No, can’t you even express it? This society needs to punish criminals, not mere professors like me. I beg you, please don’t pay attention to me. You don’t have to pay attention to me. I don’t want you to.”

An attitude that is so shameless that it is almost brazen,

However, the head of state has not made any statement regarding this incident.

In effect, it was an indulgence, and all kinds of erotic fiction continued to be published in the newspapers.
