Finding out the truth behind the attack

and stabilizing state affairs.

Park Mu-jin, the Acting President,

has two significant tasks to do.

However, Acting President Park Mu-jin has never been in an elected position.

Given this unprecedented national crisis,

many people are concerned about whether or not he can show

leadership in front of administrative officers

-and the National Assembly. -He has a week.

If he can run state affairs without any problems for the next week,

the headlines of every paper will change.

"Acting President Park Mu-jin..."

THE PRESIDENT PASSES AWAY

"...Becomes a Strong Candidate."

After that, the public will choose him

as the next candidate.

It seems like you chose him

to be your next political partner.

No, sir.

He's a good man.

But for me, I'm satisfied with serving the late President Yang Jin-man.

You also witnessed

how the world criticized his good deeds.

I'm going to choose the person who wins.

That's a relief.

President Park

never even ran for class president

when he was in school.

In those days.

Although he was a model student.

Do you know what that implies?

He doesn't have

any desire for power. He isn't suitable for politics.

He just didn't have the opportunity.

The opportunity to obtain power.

Do you think he'll stay the same even after witnessing

the nation move on his orders?

Have you ever seen someone let go of their power willingly?

Daddy!

You did great.

Daddy, I rode a spaceship.

"A spaceship"?

She's talking about the MRI machine.

How were her results? She's fine, right?

She counted to ten. She recognized us too.

Isn't that enough?

We have a doctor at the Blue House as well.

You don't need to worry, sir.

Thank you.

Let me see.

Gosh. It must've hurt so much.

Si-wan! I rode a spaceship.

Si-wan. I said, I rode a spaceship.

I'm serious.

Si-wan, Si-jin's back. You were worried about her.

Aren't you hungry?

Should I tell them to prepare your meal?

I'm sorry. He's a teenager.

You know how they are, right?

Yes. I heard they're more frightening than any dictator.

You don't have to be sorry.

They even say North Korea won't dare invade

because they're so frightening.

I'm terribly sorry, sir.

That joke was inappropriate at a time like this.

I'd like to apologize for my son's rudeness.

Is that true?

Why else do you think he suddenly got into a fistfight?

The kids couldn't have physical education because of the fine dust.

One of the kids said it was because the Minister of Environment

wasn't doing his job properly.

Well,

that kid is a teenager too.

It's hard for him, too.

Think about it.

He never imagined he'd be living in the Blue House,

which he only saw on the news.

PRESIDENT OF KOREA, YANG JIN-MAN

He probably doesn't know

how he'll face his friends again.

-What now? -I still need to teach him manners.

Puberty doesn't make him special.

Si-wan, we need to talk.

Si-Wan.

Did you put something on that?

A man's face is his life.

I'm sorry. This is all because of me.

We will have to live here

for the time being.

Someone once told me

that you don't get paid every month because you're good.

You get paid so you can smile while being criticized.

I get paid

with the people's tax money.

You don't need to worry about me.

It's harder for you.

That bothers me.

So Si-wan, I hope you will...

stay strong.

-Dad. -Yes?

What's the Wi-Fi password?

-I've tested all the dishes. -Thank you.

From now on, you may only eat after the inspector tests them,

whether it is at the Blue House or elsewhere.

Especially during times like this

when there's a threat of attack,

the inspection will be done more meticulously.

On that note, ma'am,

could you consult with us regarding your schedule?

We need to ensure your safety.

And since this is a sensitive time,

we need to consider the political side as well.

I'm afraid

I can't do that.

I'm a lawyer.

I have a duty to maintain attorney-client confidentiality.

For the next 60 days,

you are the First Lady.

Hello.

Is something wrong?

Is this how you feel as well?

For the past 15 years of our marriage, I've been free.

But she wants to tie me down now.

Two months will fly by.

After 60 days, we can go home.

Nothing will change.

Hello, sir!

Hello.

As you've requested,

Ms. Jeong Su-jeong will be working at the Presidential Secretariat.

She will be formally assigned

once her background check clears.

Let us go.

Your official schedule awaits, starting with the Chief of Staff meeting.

MAINTAINING STATUS QUO EPISODE 3

I'm Jo Yong-gu from Saenal News.

The attack on the National Assembly Building. Was it North Korea?

For now...

I'm Min Ju-hong from KBC. How likely is it that it was North Korea?

PRESS SECRETARY HONG SU-WON

-The NIS-- -I'm Im Jae-suk from OPS.

If it was not North Korea,

was ISIS the terrorist organization most likely responsible for it?

Give me the mic.

I'm Woo Sin-yeong from TBN.

I heard Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force...

dispatched the Aegis to the East Sea yesterday.

Ms. Woo, that was embargoed--

Here's my question.

I heard the reason why they dispatched the Aegis was...

because a North Korean submarine entered our territorial waters.

So it's true.

So was it North Korea?

-Is North Korea invading the South? -Is a war imminent?

-Why is the Blue House saying anything? -Well...

Why aren't you telling the people the truth?

We will take a short break.

-Please answer us. -What the hell?

Where is he going?

-What's all this? -Tell me about it. What was that--

I mean, didn't you write the script for the briefing?

Aren't you going to fix this?

Me?

I wrote it, but...

And I'm not ready for a situation like this.

None of us was ready for a situation like this.

No one in this Blue House was.

Well...

Sin-yeong, where are you going?

We already have the headlines.

"Acting President Park Mu-jin Gets off to a Shaky Start."

"The Incompetent Blue House Fails as a Control Tower."

I'll start by answering Ms. Woo's question.

Japan's Aegis has already retreated from the East Sea.

There was no provocation from North Korea, and a war did not break out.

Those are the facts I can confirm for now.

Are you saying North Korea wasn't behind the attack?

If not, who was it?

The NIS, DSSC,

and our military forces

are conducting thorough investigations and are open to all possibilities.

-Once there is a conclusion-- -Once there is,

will it be made known to the people and the press immediately?

Ms. Woo's performance assessment depends on her questions.

And my performance assessment depends on my silence.

I hope this answers your question.

Since the incident yesterday, all kinds of fake news and rumors

are spreading through social media.

If the government doesn't share the information transparently,

the embers of the fake news will never be put out.

As long as the press does not publish mere speculation,

it won't spread like wildfire.

The security of this nation and its people are on the line.

Your cooperation will be very much appreciated.

BLUE HOUSE

Thank you. I'm...
