Seoul, Korea – Baek-Hee (played by Eun-Jung) reveals that she was sexually molested and also comes to the rescue of Jin-Gook (played by Taek-Yeon).

On KBS2’s broadcast on the 21st of this month of weekday series Dream High, Jin-Gook assaults the head of a media agency and gets into trouble because of it.

In the episode, the whole story of Jin-Gook getting caught up in a fight is revealed. Baek-Hee is sexually assaulted when she visits the agency head, which Jin-Gook witnesses, causing him to get involved in an altercation while trying to save her. In order to protect Baek-Hee, Jin-Gook decides to keep his mouth shut about the incident, and even prevents his politician father’s ambition to reveal everything.

As Baek-Hee feels tormented about other people pointing their fingers at Jin-Gook, she eventually reveals all to her friend Hye-Mi. However, Hye-Mi advises her not to tell anyone. She says that even Jin-Gook will understand her actions. Feeling acutely aware of how her friends and teachers love her, she ultimately comes to a decision. She decides that she must show courage in order to help Jin-Gook, who has helped her many times in the past.

She ultimately decides to ignore Hye-Mi’s dissuasion and reports her sexual harassment to the police. Thanks to her decision, she is able to somewhat restore Jin-Gook’s reputation when she explains the reasons why Jin-Gook got into the altercation.

When asked why she revealed everything to the police by Jin-Gook, Baek-Hee says she did it because he was always there for her and she wanted to thank him. The scene of two friends reaffirming their friendship during hard times was very touching for viewers.

The incident confirmed the fact that Jin-Gook’s father, who is a politician, does in fact love his son. For a father who always seemed to look at his wayward son with disdain, the episode showed Jin-Gook’s father rooting for and trusting his son in spite of the tough circumstances, even going as far as proclaiming that his son would never engage in mindless violence, as well as revealing his identity as Jin-Gook’s father. Jin-Gook is touched by his father’s affection and devotion, especially as he sees that his father has chosen to proclaim his love for him, rather than keeping his political identity safe.

Meanwhile, with Baek-Hee’s determination “to never cheat again,” and returning to pursuing her dream, viewers are left wondering who will be the next star “K.”
