Fallen (낙인)

Your original novel is going to release as a blockbuster movie soon.

It’s also chosen as ‘The best book in this year’ by New York Times.

You are not the only Asian author, but also the youngest.

So you can expect to get an award in New York next month.

Finally the world greatest SF author is emerging from Korea.

Congratulations!

Thank you.

This is a question that everybody’s asking.

Can you tell us anything about the video that’s going around?

Are you really the victim of spy cam?

Or is it a fake?

Your fans are dying to know,

so, is it really you in the video?

I’m sorry.

I won’t make any comments related to the topic.

All over the Internet, there’s heated discussion

amongst your fans about the video

and also about your family history.

Especially with the revelation that Geun-Im Jo,

who died while on death-row is your mother.

This is still hot news.

For all the fans awaiting your next book,

you must have something to say about all the controversy.

I’m sorry.

I won’t make any comments related to the topic.

My mother

She immediately imagined me

as she attempted to escape from the near-death danger.

That was indeed

a great imagination which saved the world.

a great imagination which saved the world.

but also granted decency to new lives.

Therefore from now on, I must

remove the stigma from the past

and protect my dignity.

Even the contract states that the writer is responsible for everything,

in case of any social issue.

It was clearly a hidden camera

and a revenge porn.

I sued them all.

No negotiation.

I know,

but you still can’t escape from your responsibility.

I am the victim of that hidden camera.

What am I responsible for?

You know how much money is involved in this film.

You are no longer a best-selling writer.

Your videos are everywhere now.

Things have changed.

Don’t you understand that I am the victim here?

I see you are not cooperating with me.

But you created and wrote this film yourself.

And I am the producer.

Does a writer have any voice in Korea films?

You guys destroy every word.

Take my name off from the credits if you want.

Is it that difficult to have just one interview

apologizing for what has happened?

You go apologize.

The distribution company won’t let it go.

The press and law firms will go after you.

Can’t you tell how serious it is?

I’ve helped you all along for this film.

Please reconsider the interview for me, okay?

Don’t be late tomorrow.

Give me some time to think.

Don't think.

Just do it.

I heard you are writing your next one as a novel.

I will produce the film.

Can I go now?

Stay for another hour.

You haven’t been out recently.

Out of the blue, a massive sinkhole appeared in the middle of the city.

“Another sinkhole appeared in the middle of the city”

It's diameter is 142 yards wide, and its depth is deeper than its diameter..

You are saying that the degree of violence doesn’t matter if the victim is clean? That sounds dangerous.

That sounds dangerous.

No, listen.

Everyone in Korea has a twisted imagination.

Say that the a rape or a murder victim was a femme fatal,

Then we make pornography out of the story

and readers fall in love with it.

I guess you liked the movie.

The movie wasn’t that good,

but the screenwriter is famous for being a femme fatal.

I find that very interesting.

I’m going to talk about it during the interview tomorrow.

The story of a beautiful writer whose revenge porn is revealed to the public.

Actually, revenge porn is not an appropriate term.

Revenge assumes rage against a specific target, and porn is for sexual arousal.

When a filmmaker produces a sexual movie out of a social issue like hidden cameras,

When a filmmaker produces a sexual movie out of a social issue like hidden cameras,

We, critics, reproduce the movie as a porn through critical writing.

Are you comparing film critique to pornography?

Critics think that way.

Did you see the screenwriter’s video?

You haven’t seen it?

Should I send it to you?

I think she does Pilates or something,

she’s got a nice body.

I’ve seen it.

Pretty amazing, especially with that angle.

I once had dinner with her,

and I still feel weird.

Do you know that her mother is a serial killer?

Yes. I remember Jo Keun-Im, who killed her pastor husband and five more.

It was about twelve years ago.

Ms. Baek is quite a character.

Daughter of a serial killer, lesbian,

She got everything what men gets horny.

Hello.

I keep bumping into you.

I don’t think I introduced myself properly last time.

I heard that you wrote the film.

Yes.

I haven’t seen your film yet.

My friend only invited me for the after-party.

I see.

The way you softly chew almonds seems…

Sensual.

People usually just eat them, but

You seem to really

feel the almonds with your jaw…

The way you slowly move you lower jaw is very…

Elegant.

Thank you.

Feeling the almonds,

Ruminating.

What?

You said it yourself.

Ruminating the almonds like a cow.

Ah, like a cow!

I didn’t think of a cow ruminating.

I’m Jo-Kyung Baek.

How do you create a story? What inspires you?

I once dreamed of being a writer.

Look at this match.

It’s an ordinary match.

Yes.

What story do you want to write about it?

The most arousing story out of this match.

What could I do with it?

Start a fire?

It's harder than I thought.

In storytelling, what matters the most is the character with the object.

If you want to write about this match,

then you have to create a character who needs this match the most.

What would that bartender do with this match?

He could start a little flame on a cocktail.

What would he do?

He would try to burn his armpit hair.

You know, like a silly joke.

What would your friend do with it?

She would burn her boyfriend’s car because he cheated on her.

Just like in the movies.

Good. That’s how you start writing.

In your imagination, do these people talk and act for you?

Yes.

So, I don’t enjoy being outside.

Is it painful to imagine like that?

My mind tends to be very hectic.

Keep acting, don’t try writing.

I think acting suits you better.

You are amazing.

Are you not smiling because I am making you uncomfortable?

Sorry. I just don’t like crowded places.

People are interested in you.

They are all aware of your presence here.

Have you come to find me after seeing or hearing about my video?

I only heard people talking about it.

But revenge porn is not the right term for your surveillance video.

Revenge assumes rage against a specific crime,

and porn is for sexual arousal.

It’s dangerous to reproduce digital crime as sex business.

I was also a victim once.

Let's go. Sujin.

Sujin Jang - 010 6399..

The story of a person who needs the match the most.

It was inspirational.

Here is my number.

I hope you are one who need it the most.

Help me! Please! Help!

I told you to put a muzzle on everyone.

Confirmed.

I hope you are one who need it the most.

I told you.

I hope you would be the one who need this match the most.

So,

this is how you think of your stories, that

other people act as characters in your stories, thinking and talking for you.

I must be playing you now.

It’s amazing.

Don’t feel sorry.

Now, you have to create a story

where you successfully escape from this place.

I know you’ve seen Youtube videos on how to unlock handcuffs?

while researching for your script last year.

It seemed easy on videos.

How about you design a rescue plan first?
