Attorney Kang Tae-hoon

Lawyer Kang Tae-hoon Episode 32

Chapter 12 Sexual Minorities. absurd discrimination

“A prisoner?”

Taehoon's eyes widened at the unexpected story.

After a while, he went into the meeting room together.

A glass partition was installed in the meeting room. A man in his late 20's, with his handcuffs and with his hair up to his waist, came in.

The men's behavior was very plain. The eyes behind his haggard face looked weak and weak.

"nice to meet you. This time, I am lawyer Park Moon-soo of Hanmaeum Law Firm, who will be representing Mr. Lee Jong-tak this time.”

"Yes Yes."

His powerless eyes turned to Moonsoo and Taehoon.

Moonsu looked down at his hand. The scars were evident from the handcuffs on his bare forearm. His sad sigh stretched out for a moment.

“As you may know, we received a request from Lee Hyun-ji, the older sister of Mr. Lee Jong-tak. I understand that you want an administrative lawsuit related to the punishment room. Is that correct?"

"Yes."

His lifeless eyes gradually turned to the light. Punishment room was an act of putting a prisoner in solitary confinement in simple terms.

“And Lee Jong-tak’s client… … .”

Moonsu paused for a moment and spoke carefully.

“I know he has a feminine side. Is this also true?”

“… … Yes."

He sighed a little and answered. It was the moment when Taehoon's doubts about his long hair were resolved.

CEO Park Moon-soo nodded his head.

“If you are having a hard time, you do not have to answer right away. Let me ask you a few questions.”

Park Moon-soo calmly began to ask questions one by one. Tae-hoon could hear the full story of the incident next to him.

* * *

transgender. It could be said that men prefer women, and in other words, they are also called ‘sexual minorities’.

In the case of Lee Jong-tak, although he was physically male, he was mentally feminine.

In the case of sexual minorities, it was actually a very difficult issue to deal with.

In a way, sexual minorities can be said to be a psychological problem.

However, they are not classified as disabled.

However, on the contrary, the gaze of actual people was no different from the treatment of ‘disabled people’.

This was also something that Hanmaeum Law Firm was actively working on.

Not long ago, there was a case where a sexual minority won the case in an administrative lawsuit against the police.

A sexual minority woman went to the police station with a case related to the sexual assault of her boyfriend, and shocking words came out of the officer's mouth.

‘What do you do with women?’

It was thrown as a joke in that way.

Because of that, something happened, and her client came to visit.

It was the Hanmaeum Law Firm that won the case, and Lee Jong-tak's older sister, who saw the newspaper article, commissioned the Hanmaeum Law Firm because of the shocking story she heard while talking about a question when a very quiet child was often locked in the punishment room.

“Can you win?”

"Yes. Trust us, no, attorney Kang.”

At Lee Jong-tak's question, Moon-soo nodded with a confident expression and placed his hand on Tae-hoon's shoulder.

‘Somehow, you’ve known me since you brought me.’

CEO Park Moon-soo seems to have seen infinite possibilities in Tae-hoon.

There seems to be a tendency to give Tae-hoon a unique case like this.

It's about growing bigger. Taehoon was handed the receiver.“Yes, trust me. Punishment for refusing an invitation to a haircut? It's nonsense. This is clearly an abuse of discretion.”

Taehoon glanced at the guard. He was looking at Tae-Hoon and Park Moon-Soo with unfavorable eyes.

I guess so. Such is the perception of Korea.

LGBTI people in Korea were bound to live in the face of legal limitations and discrimination.

Maybe Tae-hoon is saying this while thinking, ‘Do you know why I was born as a man and then I am a woman?’

But this has gone too far.

It was an abuse of the prison's discretion.

“And the room inspection all of a sudden just in time for that day? This is retaliatory punishment, no matter who you look at.”

In addition, another problem that arises is that when Lee Jong-tak refused to have his feet cut off, he unexpectedly inspected the room and found a cover for a thermos bottle, a fan, and a book that came out through him. will be punished

The funny thing is that the person sharing the room also had debts, but no sanctions were imposed.

From anyone's perspective, this was clearly discrimination against sexual minorities.

“Let’s just go.”

CEO Park Moon-soo and Tae-hoon stood up together.

He nodded and went back inside with the guard.

I came to the Starbucks Cafe to take a short break before returning to Seoul and going to the law firm's office in Bangbae-dong.

“Sweet, sweet. Kids these days know what they like to drink.”

CEO Park Moon-soo ordered the cafe mocha that Tae-hoon had ordered, frowned at the whipped cream, stirred, took a sip, and frowned once more.

“Still, it’s pretty good if you drink it while brushing your hair. It seems like my head is spinning fast because I’m leaving.”

Taehoon smiled brightly after drinking a sip of Cafe Mocha with a straw.

He was connected to the 'Korean Sexual Minority Culture and Human Rights Center' with a laptop.

Moonsoo leaned next to him and watched.

Taehoon was doing a summary after searching for data on his laptop.

In 2007, the hair rule for inmates had already been abolished.

Watching Tae-hoon beating his laptop, Moon-su made a satisfied expression and frowned when he saw the two of them coming inside.

“I met someone I didn’t like.”

"Yes?"

Taehyung tilted his head and rolled his eyes.

Two men who Tae-hoon knew well were standing there.

One was Kang Tae-san, the representative of the Korean law firm.

He is fifty-five this year, and Tae-Hoon is a person who has never even met eyes in the past.

Next to him was Han Seong-ho.

Han Seong-ho is also a pretty thick-skinned person.

All three have gone from judges to lawyers.

CEO Park Moon-soo, Kang Tae-san, and Han Seong-ho.

“CEO, Attorney Han Seong-ho. I will accept your coat.”

Next to them stood a beautiful woman in her early thirties. She is presumed to be the secretary of the Korean law firm.

After taking off their coats, the two who handed them also found Tae-hoon and Park Moon-soo.

“Hey, Moonsoo. It’s been a long time.”

“You look like this.”

Coincidentally, the two offices were not far away.

The difference is that I knew that the area of ​​Daehan Law Firm was about 300 pyeong, and Hanmaeum Law Firm was only about 40 pyeong.

“Can I sit down?”

Also Park Moon-soo and Kang Tae-san. The two were also classmates at the Judicial Research and Training Institute.

“Is this friend your law firm lawyer?”

"Hello. My name is Kang Tae-hoon, a lawyer.”

‘Kang Tae-hoon… … ?'

Han Seong-ho laughed when he heard his name. It was a sun chick and it was true.

He was a kid who could be 30 years old now.

‘A pathetic boy.’

It was a moment when Lee Baek-ho, who lost to such a person, became even more pathetic.

In fact, Tae-hoon was not happy with the meeting between the two people, but he was polite because it was in front of CEO Park Moon-soo and there was no dispute.

“I am the representative of a Korean law firm. This is Taesan Kang.”

Taehoon politely grabbed the hand he reached out with both hands.

“I have heard of this friend. CEO."

"Oh yeah? Seong-ho Han, who is still young, do you know the name of this friend?”

Tae-hoon looked at Han Seong-ho as if he knew him.

“Isn’t there a lawsuit against Hanum construction company that happened a while ago?”

"Ah… … The friend who was in charge of the lawsuit at that time was this friend.”

Kang Tae-san's eyes changed strangely.

Even though Tae-hoon was able to win the case because he had a groundbreaking oriental shot, it was heard that he was a very experienced defender.

“I heard a story. I'm sorry about that. Lee Baek-ho Because that friend doesn't know how to see the world yet. Our line took care of it well, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Han Seong-ho was polite and quietly bowed to Tae-hoon.

Hearing that he handled it well, Taehoon twitched the back of his nose.

‘Or throw it away and use it if it hits you. You are all like that.’

Tae-hoon, who knows the mask behind the two, only smiles on the outside and curses on the inside.

"CEO. one lawyer. I will order what you usually eat.”

"Oh yeah. Don’t even drink a glass of Miss Kim.”

"thank you."

He said with a gentle smile. The secretary makes a small bow and smiles.

‘I still do. That hidden smile.’

Moon-soo, who knows the essence of Kang Tae-san and Han Seong-ho, just shrugs it off.

“How are the public interest lawyers doing these days?”

“What is it all about? There are times when we are good and there are times when we are bad.”

“I’m sorry. Still, it would have been better if he had continued to serve as a judge rather than a public interest law firm. What happened back then... … .”

“Do not speak. It’s not just the two of us.”

The smile on the corner of his mouth was hidden.

He was looking sharply at CEO Kang Tae-san.

In fact, Park Moon-soo was also a person who boasted great competence when he was a judge.

It wasn't like Kang Tae-san.

Only one person pursues a profit-seeking law firm.

The only difference is that the other person runs a public interest law firm for human rights.

The secretary who received the coffee politely placed the coffee in front of the two of them.

“This is where we ruined the mood. I'm sorry. See you next time.”

Moonsu didn't answer.

The two went out with their secretary.

A small, thin sigh escaped.“It ruins the atmosphere, but kids these days say it’s perfect.”

“Haha, CEO, the word ‘chan’ is not used in this case. It’s called bu.”

“What?”

“It is.”

“Beck? What?”

Moonsu spoke to blow off the heavy atmosphere, and Taehoon also helped.

Soon, Moonsu smiled a little.

“But what are you going to do after your internship is over?”

"Do not worry. I will not go to the Korean law firm.”

“It sounds like you’re lucky.”

CEO Park Moon-soo smiled. In fact, Taehoon was like a contract lawyer. This is because Moonsu brought him in with a one-year deadline in the first place.

He actually knew himself.

The fact that a lawyer named Kang Tae-hoon is a waste of being a public interest lawyer here. Of course, if Taehoon has an idea, he will be here more.

“Personally, why don’t you try defending for a public election? I think it's perfect for you.”

“I have that in mind too.”

“I mean, you’re very rare.”

"Is that so?"

Moonsoo smiled brightly. It was really sad. Why did he dare to take the first step in society as a lawyer with the highest grades, even though he could become a lawyer while serving as a judge?

One of the most decisive reasons for this was that it actually existed elsewhere.

“There is only one thing I want to achieve while I am here.”

“What is that?”

“It’s a secret.”

Tae-hoon looked around, but that was the battle with the Inseong Enterprise.

human rights lawyer.

They couldn't have dared to do it without them.

Other law firms would avoid it. This is because Sungsung Enterprises is the best company in Korea.

In addition, he said, if he had served as a judge, he would have healed the victims' minds and bodies only when he was an old-fashioned grandfather.

Taehoon wet his lips with a cafe mocha.

* * *

He was heading to the law firm for a black Benz.

“CEO, how about that friend named Kang Tae-hoon earlier?”

“Your eyes aren’t that bad. He also seems to have aspirations. He didn't look like he deserved to be a public interest lawyer.”

“The president also thought so. I found out about that friend, and he didn't miss a single senior in the four-year law school, and he got good grades at the training center as well. He worked as a military judge as a judge.”

“But why is such a friend under Park Moon-soo’s friend?”

Kang Tae-san frowned. He made a good first impression, but I didn't know he had such a career.

In addition, if he was a military judge, it means that he could serve as a judge in society after being discharged.

“I don’t know why. Looking at his face, I couldn't tell what was inside. This is the first time I feel like this.”

“You say you can see through people’s hearts just by looking into their eyes.

“If there is an opportunity, I would like to bring him to Daehan.”

Han Seong-ho said while fitting his crooked glasses.

“Because our law firm will give you more money than a public interest lawyer.”

The reason it is said that he sees through people is because he is the one who understands the essential greed of man best. That is why he tends to exert great power in events.

Who in the world doesn't like money?

But one thing he didn't see was the money! And it is the fact that the person who was burnt was Tae-Hoon Kang.
