Human Rights... Commission?
The atmosphere in the hospital room was chaotic due to the sudden appearance of the Human Rights Commission... Seeing that everyone else was quiet, it seemed that everyone else agreed on it except for me.
'At least he talked about before and after the report.'
I was about to press my forehead, but when I realized that I had an IV still attached to myself, I stopped.
"That... The National Human Rights Commission."
"... Okay!"
That one... Wouldn't it be an institution without judicial coercion?
At best, it would be over with a little bullying at the company.
I didn't know if they would seriously deal with reports of idol human rights violations that came in anonymously in the first place.
However, despite my explanation, Bae Sejin did not appear to be taken aback.
"I know. ... They can't solve all of this."
"... …"
"Still, it would come out in the press! They'd receive city and correctional recommendations!"
"... … ?"
Bae Sejin still clenched his fists and eagerly explained the principles of his actions.
So, to sum up, this guy's judgment was like this.
"Since the company is blocking the media coverage of the entertainment side, I tried to direct the article to the reporters of the society side... Do you get what I'm saying?"
"That's right."
In a word, it was a route change.
Bae Sejin... Did he have such an ambition?
'Hoo... …'
I needed a cigarette... No, I was done.
I almost bit my tongue, so I had to clean my mouth.
I quickly checked in my head what would happen.
'If it's anonymous, there's a high probability that the effect Bae Sejin is aiming for will not happen.'
Is an entertainment company trying to cover up an artist-related accident?
The odds of the Human Rights Commission voluntarily finding out where the hell this place is was very low.
'If the reporters came and tried to cause a fuss, it might end up scratching the company's temper.'
It was just that the company would get nervous, so they would be like, 'Do you dare to report?' There was an aspect that became easier to negotiate when it was bigger than the embarrassment of such things…
"And being anonymous... It doesn't mean that I didn't tell them the name of the group."
"...Then?"
"Only the anonymity of the informant... was kept. Uh, using the name of my mother's friend…"
Bae Sejin swallowed his saliva.
"... If we do this, then they won't think that it was a member who sent it. They might think it was a competitor or... they would think of a person who left the company or something like that."
As it turned out, it seemed that this guy had sorted out all the employment and labor-related issues that had happened at the agency so far.
From non-payment of overtime pay to illegal personal information searches related to industrial espionage.
'How far did he raise the board?'
In fact, I doubted whether this was a daydream or not.
"I-I'm not proud of this either! Still, I have to do this…"
I held back a bitter laugh.
"No. I think you did well."
"... …!"
Bae Sejin's eyes widened.
"R-really??"
"Yes "
Let's say it was because we had passed the most worrying part for now.
'The parent company, T1, took TeStar, so the situation was over.'
It was a pity that I couldn't use it as a hand, but...
I didn't get into a car accident alone, so there was no justification for profiting only in the direction I wanted.
'These guys must have accumulated a lot in the meantime.'
I couldn't act on my own.
'Some scale... It looks like it will grow a lot in the other direction.'
This was rather good. The moment it emerged as a social problem, such as abuse of power in the workplace, it would turn into an issue to be dealt with by the superiors and the head office, not by the subordinates.
And from our point of view, no matter what hardships the upper management went through, it was enough as long as the working staff could work.
As long as there was no problem with group movement, it wouldn't matter.
'If we do well, we'll see the status of the former general manager again.'
Just imagining it was comfortable.
I nodded my head feeling more comfortable.
"Yes. I am looking forward to the results."
"…. Okay!"
Bae Sejin's complexion brightened. The members also nodded, but no one was shaken.
'It seems like they fought a lot with the agency after the accident.'
I clicked my tongue in my head and asked the unanswered question again.
"So, what day is it today?"
"..."
Then the guys exchanged glances
'What.'
Ryu Chungwoo, who had been quiet until now, slowly opened his mouth.
"... Moondae."
"Yes."
"Today is July 6th."
"... …!"
The month was different.
'Wait, I got into a coma on the anniversary of our debut, June 18th…'
So that meant I was in a coma for 18 days.
"... …"
No... June just melted away.
While I was stunned for a moment, Ryu Chungwoo spoke in a small voice.
"So, don't think about anything else and rest. Think about work or activities later."
"... …"
"From now on... Think of your body first."
Ah.
I looked up at Ryu Chungwoo.
He had an unusually dark complexion.
'Come to think of it, I was pierced in the chest instead of him because he almost had a piece of the car stuck in his head.'
Honestly, wasn't this exchange fee better than losing someone?
I wasn't some kind of psychopath that would watch the guy next to me getting his head pierced.
I looked at him quite unconvincingly, but I roughly understood his feelings.
'Did he think I fell into a coma instead of him?'
Well, it could be a trick of the system, so he didn't have to apologize... If I thought of it as debt, I hope he could agree with me later.
I shrugged and got up.
"I will take care of it. In fact, I think my body is fine even now... Could it be that I just couldn't wake up because I was tired?"
"Y-you shouldn't get up... !"
"Park Moondae, sit down!"
"I think you'd better get tested again."
"... ... ."
That's right... They were mischievous.
And after a while...
The medics returned to the hospital room sooner than planned because of their fervent requests.
And as soon as the patient recovered from a coma of more than 15 days, they were horrified by the news that he happily enjoyed eating fruit.
"Melons?? Patient, tell me how it feels inside your stomach right now!"
"... !!"
"I am fine."
"Doctor! The patient here..."
And all sorts of calls followed.
'... Yes.'
It was understandable that the guy who had been lying down for 18 days forgot about the highest sugar melon.
The face of Keun Sejin, who recommended melon, turned blue, but fortunately, the result came out that there was nothing wrong with it.
If I wasn't in a normal state in the first place, wouldn't it be painful as soon as I swallowed it?
"I will eat it!"
It went without saying that Cha Eugene put all the melons in his mouth.
'This looks like a nectar medicine.'
Thanks to the characteristic of 'complete recovery of vitality', I wondered if my digestive system had also rapidly recovered.
'Let's check it out while they're talking.'
After all the fuss, I brought up the properties section of the status bar.
[Attributes: Infinite Potential, Time of Indulgence (S), Nectar (S)-Activated, Grabbing Ears (A)]
It was also marked as activated.
Apparently, I was also currently recovering rapidly, so it looked like it would disappear once all the scars on my chest were healed.
'... Then, is Bacchus gone?'
It made me lose my appetite. What a waste.
Of course, there was also an expectation that Bacchus would be drawn again in the next draw. Because it was very useful for activities.
I swallowed my regret and turned off the status window.
'By the way… It's the 18th.'
It was a waste, but it was fortunate that there wouldn't be any major problems with the tour schedule.
'I'll be fully recovered in a month.'
It seemed like they said that those who are still wearing protective gear would recover within 3 weeks.
If we started preparing for one more month... I think we'd take care of everything except for a few Japanese schedules.
'That's enough.'
I nodded inwardly.
And after all the medical staff had left, the members sighed in relief and came to their senses.
"Moondae... Really, I'm sorry."
"No, it was delicious."
"Let's get permission from now on…"
And after a while...
It seemed that at last, it had entered their minds that I might as well get some rest.
"I will visit again tomorrow!"
"No, if there is a problem, if you call me anytime… I-it's near my house...!"
"I'm not leaving the hospital."
"Ah, Cha Eugene is such a mess, let's get out!"
"Hing."
"... Rest, Moondae. Really... You did a great job."
"Thank you."
Ryu Chungwoo seemed to smile faintly, but soon that sign disappeared as well.
'He looks weak.'
It must have been more trouble than I expected.
The moment I tried to catch him and dig it up...
"... Park Moondae."
"... … ? Yes."
Just before Bae Sejin left, he spoke with a serious face.
"If the Human Rights Commission investigation comes in... Based on that, I'm trying to see if we can sue T1 Stars."
"... What?"
"Isn't that enough even if it's not a new agency?"
This bastard was going too far...
"It's not something to do right now, but we'll discuss it later... Let's just let Moondae rest a little longer."
"Sure~"
"... Good."
I'd have to think about it myself.
I shook my hands complicatedly, and the members left the room laughing or waving their hands together.
Click.
I sighed in the hospital room, which became quiet in an instant.
"Whew."
A lawsuit.
I'd say it was what most people would do, but it was not a good decision to make in this industry.
Until now, I had rarely seen cases where a lawsuit was filed and then the career went on smoothly.
Winning or not, it would be stamped on the industry.
'In order to gain popularity, it's a realistic decision to solve it as best as possible.'
Above all, even in the best case, it took too long to win, and until then, activities were almost completely stopped...
'Wait a minute.'
Suddenly, goosebumps ran up my spine.
'... … What about the tour?'
We wouldn't be able to do it.
Hey, these bastards...!
If we can't tour, I might die!
It was said that the road to hell was paved with good intentions, but suddenly the threat of sudden death was approaching.

While Park Moondae was in chaos, breaking news that he had regained consciousness was floating around on the internet.
[(Breaking news) TeStar's Park Moondae regains consciousness]
[Park Moondae's consciousness comes back… "I can reach the fans' sincerity"]
[TeStar's traffic accident, recovering from a coma in 18 days]
-What are these articles saying right now?
-Really?
-Is this for real? (link)
-Please, ah, please
Fans tried to calm down thinking that it might be another misinformation, but fortunately, 30 minutes after the first breaking news, an acknowledgment article appeared from the agency.
[T1 Stars "TeStar's Park Moondae recovers consciousness around 2:00 PM"]
And only after that, messages of congratulations, relief, and tears began pouring in from all kinds of social media, communities, and comment windows.
-I'm scared that it might be a dream
-What can I do? I really can't stop crying.
-Moondae, thank you for fighting for 18 days and coming back. I will support you no matter what you do.
-I am so grateful and happy to be able to upload this picture. (Park Moondae photo from the 2nd anniversary)
-I love you, Moondae! I am so happy that I can continue to support the 24-year-old you, the 30-year-old you, and the 40-year-old you... ㅠㅠ
Since a young celebrity who almost died in an unfortunate accident came back alive, the public's reaction was very warm right now.
-It'd be such a waste to leave like this, so I think you have been given a new opportunity. I hope you recover well and shine in Korea with great songs~~
-This is really good. I'm not even a fan, but I was so sad. ㅠㅠㅠ
- Congratulations, I hope you live well.
-He regained consciousness after 18 days? A-A-Amazing.
At such a dramatic moment, even malicious comments couldn't be cheered up.
-Isn't this also a plan from Moondae? Maybe he actually woke up on the first day, so what is the probability that he didn't respond?
└ Are you crazy?
└ You're crossing the line.
-Still, he won't be active for a while so I'll have to be content with that.
└ Amazing toughness.
└A troll coming after a 23-year-old who was in a coma for 18 days.
-ㅋㅋㅋ I don't like him, but the internet is all over the place. There is no mention of anyone around him.
└I'm sorry, but are there any people around him??
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
They didn't know what was going to happen after this atmosphere died down, but now everyone happily congratulated the singer and the fans.
So, a few days later, Bae Sejin's submission to the Human Rights Commission suddenly exploded in emotion and warmth.
[The shadow of the entertainment company… Will the truth about TeStar's car accident be revealed?]
[Complaint to the Human Rights Commission of T1 Stars regarding 'consecutive cases of human rights violations within the company']
-????? What is this?
-Wow
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ T1, are you crazy?
So, things started to get pretty interesting.
Because it was a revelation that broke out after blissful news, it was treated as good news one after another.
-All of the cows are robbed ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Let's go and implement justice!
In the end, public opinion took the emotional route toward the longing for a perfect happy ending instead of anger, which was easy to get tired of.
It was an exhilarating development.
It was Bae Sejin's first win.
