Assembly (어셈블리 / Eosembeulli)

All characters, party names, and incidents appearing in this drama are fictitious creations.

And also... Oh, I will give my warning to the party leadership

and to the Pro- and Anti-BH factions.

I can look there and do it, right?

From now on, when the party decides something,

make sure to discuss it with the Indifferent-to-BH faction.

If you look down on us because of our small number,

and as you have been doing thus far, if the Pro- and Anti-BH factions engage in hanky-panky and do shoddy work...

You just try that and see what happens...

In that event, the same party color or whatever,

I will just kick your ass, all of you!

If you want to sanction me, sanction me.

If you want to expel me, just try expelling me, huh?!

Ugh, what should I do to that wet blanket...

Me, Jin Sang Pil, the big boss of the Indifferent-to-BH faction!

JSP! I will never get scared!

You better be prepared, huh?!

Do you read me, huh?!

"Jin Sang Pil's Declaration of Indifference."

Episode 11

Jin Sang Pil, bouncing off the walls again. Until when?

Response from the Pro- and Anti-BH Factions. He does not merit any response.

-Jin Sang... - Enough already.

Instead of articles from the internet, are there any articles in the newspaper?

Oh, today, the politics sections of the dailies are wallpapered with the articles about

the President tongue-lashing the Prime Minister in a cabinet meeting about

the inadequate measures to stimulate the real estate market.

- There was a column in the Jo Gook Daily. - What did it say?

Gag Concert PD, cast Assemblyman Jin Sang Pil...

We somewhat expected this kind of response.

Now, this is only the beginning. Let's cheer up and work hard.

- Yes. -Yes!

The 335th (Special) Session of the National Assembly Full Agenda

Is this all for today's schedule?

Yes, there were a few scheduled intra-party meetings and appointments,

but everyone cancelled.

Are you nervous?

No, well, this was expected.

Still, I feel a bit... you know... With my term ending soon and all...

But is Secretary Kim ill or something? Why did he ask for a day off all of a sudden?

He said he was going to go somewhere so I told him to rest for a day.

Bae Dal Soo

That I, this Bae Dal Soo, am not a piece of trash.

They use me as they please and

they throw me out in the street as they please.

I am not that kind of trash but a human being.

That I didn't live a wanton life to be treated like a piece of trash,

I am confirming that.

Is that enough?

What so wrong to live like trash?

JIn Sang Pil is trash.

He's trash because he betrayed you and got the nomination!

Father, what do I have to do now?

What should I do?

Gookmin Party Assemblymen's Meeting Forum on Measures to Revitalize Real Estate Transactions

Even though I am an Anti-BH assemblyman...

this time, I cannot help but be on the Blue House's side.

Our real estate market is in a brain-dead condition right now.

Transactions are halted.

In a word, it has gone batsh*t, that's what I'm saying!

With the paltry policies that the government is fidgeting with right now,

do you think we can revive our real estate market?

A snowball's chance in hell!

Prime Minister, you have to be ashamed of yourself and wake up!

A while ago, the President said

if you're going to do something, do it right.

Since when has the Prime Minister been a government officer to be always on the civil servants' side...

Agreed!

Assemblyman Avatar... Dear God, give me patience.

Damn.

He must have drowned his sorrows all night long. I know that feeling.

Is this a defective product or what?

Aide Choi, do I have to stay still and not do anything?

Not right now. Hold it in.

But, you know, that Avatar of the Anti-BH faction.

He is strange today. He's being a Pro-BH copycat.

Since it's a policy discussion, they are voicing various ideas, irrespective of the factions.

For today, zip up your mouth and just listen no matter what.

This isn't right.

As for me, I have a different idea.

We should not just gripe to the Prime Minister but also think about why he is doing that.

Real estate, this thing... If we touch it half-heartedly,

the market may overheat and cause speculation.

Agreed!

Fostering speculation

Real estate transactions, this. We can't unregulate them too much.

Even now, there is an uproar over rising key deposits for long term leases and if the housing prices soar,

that's like forgoing next year's general election.

I understand that the Blue House is obsessing over its track record, but this is not the time to touch this.

Agreed!

Not studying the BH's countenance...

Now, isn't there any other assemblyman who wants to speak up?

Yes. Let's go eat.

Let's do that! Let's go! Let's go eat!

Assemblyman Jin Sang Pil.

- What? - You are jotting things down really hard. If I give you a chance, will you speak up?

Why behave in a way so unusual for you?

Didn't you ask the party to discuss things in the future with the Indifferent-to-BH faction?

Indifferent-to-BH my butt.

Stop wasting time and get out of the party!

Are you playing around right now?

I don't have anything to say.

What a goof-off.

If you don't know, just say you don't know and don't feign indifference.

Now, then, we will conclude the Gookmin Party general meeting.

Aigo, let's go.

What? Put your assemblyman on the show?

Yes, I have to raise him to be on a national scale, too.

That "One to One Debate" show you're making... It seems a lot of people are watching.

This kid is trying to zap it when I've finally managed to push up the viewer ratings.

PD Park, that's because you don't know this.

My old man... He is, unbeknownst to others, pretty good with words and very sensible, you know?

Really?

Your assemblyman is a no-go because of low recognition.

He also has a severely dislikable image, okay?

Hey, hey, hey, that's why he has to be on TV to get recognized

and to change his image, too? Huh, friend?

Since I'm your friend, I'll tell you something.

Hey, friend, snap out of it.

Indifferent-to-BH? Try its grandfather (something a lot stronger).

Assemblyman Jin, rat's ass. What can he get done?

A partial amendment to the Framework Act on the Juveniles will be put to a vote.

Secret Voting Machine

Yes

Yes

Have you all voted?

Vote Result Present: 217; Yes: 213; No: 0; Abstention: 4

I will now tell you the results of the vote.

Among the 217 present,

213 voted yes and 4 abstained from voting. I declare that the bill passed.

Next, a partial amendment to the Fair Subcontract Transactions Act will be put to a vote.

Please vote.

I declare that the bill passed.

Please vote.

I declare that the bill passed.

Yes.

What is that?

I spoke to my acquaintance in the Blue House and the conflict between the President and Prime Minister

is a lot more serious than assumed by outsiders.

From now on, we don't know what might happen so start studying.

But this issue... I saw other assemblymen objecting to it and doing well in the general meeting.

- Let's do something else instead. -What do you mean something else?

You know those issues where the Pro- and Anti-BH go for each other's throat and things go to the dogs and such...

- Assemblyman. - But, aside from visiting my constituency, I haven't gotten anything done today.

If we pass one, two days like this, that's all just wasted time.

Wait. The popular opinion is cool, as it is, because of your declaration of indifference.

If you just poke around anywhere out of a sense of urgency, you'll end up a laughing stock.

So I have to wait no matter what?

If you wait, you will be given a chance.

How long do I have to wait?

Chapter 5 - Expenses

I'm back.

Ah, did you take care of your business?

Yes. I'm turning in.

What is it? Is something up?

- No. - There isn't something?

I see it written all over your mug.

- That's not so. - Hey, tell me what's bugging you.

What did you take a break for?

It's none of your business.

Hey, you're acting cocky again.

Whoopee.

Why are you harassing me?

Harassing?

Are you dissing me now because you've done some martial arts?

I was also into boxing before, punk.

Swoosh! Do you think that sound just came from my mouth, now? Hey.

Phooey, huh? Take this, punk.

That's what I was aiming for, punk. Why are you just standing there?

So you can't let down your guard, punk.

How was that, huh? Hey.

Go for it. Hey.

Hey Punk.

Hey, now...

It was sparring but really, this...

You should loosen up sometimes. Young kid.

You always have a frown on your face.

Turn in and relax.

-Assemblyman. - What is it? You want to go for a round? Huh? Want to do that?

Will I be drafting a bill also?

Bill? Which bill?

Can I?

If you insist on working but,

do you know how to do something like that?

I will try.

By the way, Assemblyman.

What else?

- Assemblyman, your boxing... - Yeah.

is garbage.

Hey. You come over here.

Hey, let's go at it properly. Aren't you coming? Hey!

Hey, quickly go buy headgear and mouthguards.

After you don't give the nomination to me, do you really think you can handle the aftermath?

For a person who is worried sick about a mere Assemblyman Jin defecting to another party...

Assemblyman Park!

I think tomorrow's Gyeongje District meeting will be very interesting.

If he's faced with a vote of no confidence, how will Assemblyman Jin Sang Pil act?

Were you looking for me, Secretary General?

Among local party chapters, give me the status sheets

for those areas overrun by the Anti-BH faction.
