- 💔 The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lee, are grieving the death of their daughter, Jina, which police classified as suicide without a thorough investigation.
- 🚨 They suspect Jina was a victim of gang rape involving 18 students, a claim the authorities refuse to pursue.
- ✊ Driven by their belief in injustice, they decide to create a protest banner to demand a proper investigation.
The Challenge of the Protest Banner
- 💻 Despite being computer-illiterate, the Lees painstakingly attempt to design a banner using a specific font, "Nonia" or "Georgia," in Korean.
- 💸 The process is financially burdensome, with high costs for custom Korean typography, adding to their existing struggles like unpaid rent.
- 🗣️ They face resistance and misunderstanding from designers who question the cultural relevance and recognition of their chosen font for a Korean message.
Confronting Indifference and Corruption
- 🚫 Authorities and other parents attempt to silence the Lees with "consensual money" or settlements, urging them to drop the case.
- ⚖️ The Lees vehemently reject these offers, asserting that no amount of money can compensate for their daughter's life or the lack of justice.
- 😡 They confront officials and other implicated parents, demanding a full investigation into the 18 students and refusing to accept the case as closed.
Unwavering Parental Resolve
- 🗣️ Mrs. Lee challenges the mother of one implicated student, Juno, highlighting the hypocrisy of seeking clemency while Jina's case remains uninvestigated.
- 💔 The parents express their profound pain, stating that Jina visits them in tears every night, contrasting their suffering with the other students' freedom.
- 📣 Their ultimate demand is for one person to confess and for a proper investigation, symbolizing their relentless pursuit of truth and accountability.
