I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 343

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (343)
“Sir, a guest has arrived.”
“Tell them to come in.”
This is Gyeongseong,
Cho Dae-soo, 3rd Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, welcomed the distinguished guests.
The identity is Lee Yeon-soo, the representative of the Women’s Peace Party and the head of the Olympic Promotion Committee. Even though she lost in the Prime Minister election, she still has tremendous influence and, above all, enjoys the trust of the head of state.
From the perspective of the Central Intelligence Agency, this is a person who has nothing to lose by being friendly with them.
That’s how the conversation between the two giants began.
“I looked at the statistics and 78% of the tourists who visited the city during the Olympics were domestic tourists.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, I think this Olympics will be similar.”
What is the most important thing at the Olympics?
Economic impact and box office success? Those are important, but safety issues cannot be overlooked.
When the Olympics are held, a lot of tourists flock from outside the country. Can we be certain that there are no terrorists among them?
Above all, Korea has waged numerous wars overseas over the past 47 years.
Who knows, that grudge might spill over into terrorism at this Olympics.
The Central Intelligence Agency also knows this, so it plans to mobilize all of its 100,000 personnel to do its utmost to ensure safety.
The question is where to cast the net.
Since Korea has stable domestic security, does it only need to keep a close eye on foreigners?
Looking at past Olympic statistics, more than 75% of tourists are domestic, while foreign tourists account for about 20-30%.
I’m worried that I might get stabbed in the back of the head by a local person while spying on a foreigner.
The population of Korea is 540 million, of which 60 million are real Koreans and the rest are annexed people.
Among them, there are those who are dissatisfied with the Korean government. Because they are not sure, the Central Intelligence Agency is struggling to decide where to cast its net.
It is impossible to control everything with 100,000 people, and the Korean government knows that, so they invested 300 million dollars out of the 1 billion dollar Olympic budget into safety.
How to utilize this is something that the Olympic Promotion Committee and the Central Intelligence Agency will discuss and decide.
CEO Lee Yeon-su made a bold decision.
“I want to focus on insiders rather than outsiders.”
“Why do you think so?”
“I believe that Korean society is well-regulated. However, no matter how I think about it, the thing that we need to be most careful about is internal discipline.”
If a foreigner planned the terrorist attack, it would not be a big problem.
If the enemy is outside, Koreans can just stick together, but if the bomb explodes inside, things get serious.
This is evidence that Korea is not properly controlling its multi-ethnic society of 500 million people, and furthermore, it will heighten the wariness of Koreans toward foreigners.
What Korea really needs to be wary of is terrorism by domestic citizens.
The focus was on domestic tourists, leaving foreign tourists alone, who account for only 25-30%.
The Central Intelligence Agency hired an additional 20,000 people to control foreigners and maintained a strict surveillance system.

“Everyone, I have now arrived in the unknown country of Korea. Phew~ My heart is pounding so hard.”
This is Geumneung International Airport,
With the Olympics approaching, a large number of broadcasters and reporters flocked to Korea.
Korea is still a country with strict social control, but how many people have experienced firsthand how strict it is?
Unlike Europe, where there are over 100 tourists per 100,000 people, Korea has barely over 10 tourists, so there are few facts known to the outside world and many misunderstandings.
In Korea, if you throw away trash, will you get arrested right away?
If you insult the head of state, will you be dragged to the Central Intelligence Agency?
There are all kinds of rumors going around, but none of them have actually been verified.
But there is no need to throw trash on the street and insult the head of state in the middle of Geumneung to prove it.
The reporters walked the streets, trying their best to hide themselves.
A society that appears much freer than expected, but behind it lies the reality of thorough internal control.
It is estimated that up to 8.5 million tourists will visit Geumneung during this Olympics, 6 million of whom are domestic tourists.
So, can they freely buy stadium admission tickets – spectator tickets?
That’s impossible, only people with a clear identity and no criminal record are allowed to enter the stadium.
In Europe, it’s unimaginable. How can you not watch a game because a red line is drawn?
Although there are cases where the sale of black market tickets and transactions are controlled, the person’s criminal record or background check is not conducted.
However, Korea strictly controls the purchase of tickets by criminals. Of course, this principle only applies to domestic citizens, so foreigners can purchase tickets without difficulty.
Surveillance networks that are embedded throughout society,
This is where the Central Intelligence Agency’s radar network was activated.
“You cannot buy stadium tickets.”
“No, why?”
“According to the background check, you have two criminal records.”
“There was no such guidance?!! Where is such a law?!!”
“If you make a fuss here, you will be arrested. I warn you.”
Some of the foreign reporters witnessed this scene.
So does this only happen in Korea?
On July 11, Britain arrested 64 criminals near a football stadium.
Only six people were arrested for disorderly conduct inside the stadium.
Three were arrested for causing a disturbance while intoxicated, another for public indecency, and a third was caught posing as a police officer and threatening citizens.
Of the remaining 58, 30 were caught selling tickets on the black market, so what about the remaining 28?
It is unclear how the seven people who assaulted citizens, the ten people who were in possession of drugs, the eight people who were suspected of possessing guns, and the remaining three were arrested, but it is true that various crimes occur around the stadium.
It is not possible to conclude that this is only the case in Korea.
As many as 54 people were arrested near the stadium that day.
Except for 6 people, all of them are foreigners. Is it really undemocratic to strengthen surveillance of foreigners?
Rather, there were also scenes where strict control had a positive effect.
[Code Adam activation, Code Adam activation]
An alarm that suddenly goes off during a game,
When the alarm sounded, the staff scattered in all directions and blocked the entrances and exits.
When a guardian who has lost a child reports this to the manager, the management department immediately activates Code Adam. Code Adam is a system that was first introduced in the United States in 1994. Once the alarm sounds, no one can leave the space.
This is all a process to find Mia,
In 1981, a child went missing in the United States, and despite staff searching the building thoroughly, the child was never found.
It turned out that the culprit had dragged the child out of the department store and murdered him. From then on, the United States activated Code Adam and controlled the people inside the store.
Even now, the United States is strictly enforcing this system.
However, the areas where Code Adam is still applied are limited, such as shopping malls and amusement parks.
Although it is still a long way off before it will be applied to sports stadiums, Korea was the first country in the world to apply Code Adam to a stadium at this Olympics.
The results were amazing,
All 137 children who went missing inside buildings or stadiums during the Games were returned to their parents.
Korean society is surprisingly systematically controlled.
Who would dare to kidnap a child and cause social unrest in a place like this?
One reporter was so impressed that he even said this on air:
“I have never seen a country so perfectly controlled. In fact, I had a vague distrust and prejudice against controlled societies, but this Olympics completely changed my thoughts. I learned that strict control is sometimes necessary for order.”
The majority of tourists who visited Korea during the Olympics also responded that they were satisfied.
When you travel to other countries, you have to worry about pickpocketing and other types of crime, but in Korea, there was nothing like that.
When a problem occurs, staff are quickly dispatched to the scene of the incident. Isn’t this all thanks to the thick infrastructure and thorough social control system?
Thanks to these Olympics, the world’s view of Korea has changed quite a bit.
Korea is not a vague dictatorship, but a society that values social control.
Why is it that Korea has almost no social unrest despite the fact that 480 million immigrants and Koreans coexist?
As the answer came out, public opinion supporting Korea also arose.

“You all worked hard. You got through it safely. It’s all thanks to your hard work.”
“No, Your Majesty, we were only doing what we had to do.”
This is Geumneung,
After the Olympics, I called the people involved separately and praised their hard work.
It is surprising that the Central Intelligence Agency controlled a whopping 9 million people during this event, and that so many people visited Geumneung without any disturbance.
Thanks to this, the competition ended successfully.
I also spoke separately to Lee Yeon-soo, the head of the Olympic Promotion Committee.
“Haha~ As expected, the representative has great insight. That’s why not just anyone can become the party representative.”
“No. It’s all thanks to the cooperation of the Marshal and the Central Intelligence Agency.”
“No. It was a stroke of genius to devise a control strategy centered on foreigners. Thanks to that, we were able to save manpower.”
CEO Lee Yeon-su accurately pointed out that controlling domestic people is a priority over controlling foreigners.
Thanks to this, he was able to concentrate administrative power where it was needed, prevent social unrest, and show why he is the leader of a party with 30 million members.
If you have the ability, my ruling style is to give you the power to match it.
Although the position of Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea was lost, it gave him no less power.
“If you have any trouble in the future, tell Vice-Chief Cho Dae-soo. Vice-Chief Cho, please pay more attention to Representative Lee Yeon-soo from now on.”
“All right.”
Literally groundbreaking treatment,
Is there anyone who doesn’t know what power the Central Intelligence Agency enjoys in Korea?
Being able to directly influence this organization means that social control is possible, you can find out who is slandering you and even threaten them if you want.
It is true that CEO Lee Yeon-soo has many enemies in society. Didn’t he recently touch the adult education budget and become a public enemy to some women?
There were times when I was threatened with death while trying to promote Christian reform, and there were too many times when I was threatened with death.
Then I will just give this girl a knife to protect herself.
He told me that I could use the knife if I needed to.
“Wow… Your Majesty, I don’t really think so…”
“Listen to what I have to say. I know that our CEO Lee Yeon-su is not the type of person to abuse his power. However, in this world, there are people who do not understand each other. In those times, I say that you should seek the power of the state and the law. You do not need to suffer alone.”
CEO Lee Yeon-su said nothing.
I’m sure you know what it means to have the CIA behind you. You probably feel like you’re riding a tiger right now.
But that’s what politics is,
I, too, have come this far riding on a tiger’s back.
I raised the Central Intelligence Agency to wield absolute power, but isn’t there a chance that this organization will stab me in the back?
But those who hold a sword must always be wary of its sharpness and danger. How would you feel if people died every time you wielded your power?
There were times when I felt pleasure, but there was also a sense of burden that the knife might stab my neck.
If CEO Lee Yeon-soo has the ability to control this country and society, he should experience this too, so I gave him a knife.
We’ll just have to wait and see how CEO Lee Yeon-soo wields this sword. If it becomes burdensome, he can just return it to me.
In this way, I gave an axe to CEO Lee Yeon-su.
The young lady, still timid, trembled as she took the weapon.
