The police station's press room is packed, cameras flashing and reporters jostling for position. I stand at the back, watching with a mixture of disbelief and frustration as Kim Eunji takes the podium. Her appearance is carefully crafted - she looks tired but determined, her police uniform replaced by a modest blouse and skirt.
"Thank you all for coming," she begins, her voice steady but tinged with emotion. "I've called this press conference to address the ongoing investigation surrounding Detective Sung's death, and to shed light on the unjust treatment I've endured at the hands of my own colleagues."
The room falls silent, all eyes fixed on Eunji.
"I am not just a suspect in this case," she continues. "I am a victim. A victim of a system that values the reputation of a male detective over the truth. A system that is all too willing to sacrifice a female officer's career to protect its own image."
