Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.1

Chapter 235

The Human Rights... Commission?

I thought that the sudden mention of the Human Rights Commission would leave the atmosphere in the hospital room perplexed, but seeing that everyone else was composed, I guess the details have been all discussed without me.

'At least there was some discussion before and after the report.'

I was about to press between my eyebrows but stopped when I realized the IV injection was still attached.

"So... you mean the National Human Rights Commission?"

"...Yeah!"

That institution... didn't have any legal enforcement power, though?

At most, the company might get reprimanded, and that would be the end of it.

In the first place, would they even take seriously an anonymous report about idols' human rights violations?

However, Bae Sejin showed no signs of puzzlement even upon my explanation.

"I know... Those people are not going to be able to resolve everything."

"..."

"But wouldn't it be covered in the media? There will also be advisories for corrective measures."

"...?"

Bae Sejin still clenched his fist and eagerly explained the principles of his actions.

So, to summarize, this guy's judgment was as follows.

"The company is blocking media coverage on the entertainment section of the press, so you're going to try to get the story out through the journalism of society section... is that what you're saying?"

"That's right."

In short, it was a change of routes.

To think that... Bae Sejin had such ambitions.

'Huu...'

A cigarette... no, forget it.

I almost bit my tongue, so let's get the plan straight.

I quickly ran through the ramifications in my head.

'The fact that it's anonymous means that the effect Bae Sejin is aiming for is less likely to happen.'

A parent entertainment company was trying to cover up an accident related to an artist?

The chances of the Human Rights Commission taking the time to find which company this was on its own were slim to none.

'If the journalist sourcing information from here only goes as far as creating rumors, it might just end up provoking the company's temper.'

However, it would make the company nervous, and if that outweighed the 'How dare you blow the whistle' reaction, it could make it easier to negotiate...

"And about it being anonymous... It doesn't mean that the group's name wasn't mentioned."

"...Then?"

"Only the anonymity of the informant... is protected. Since- since I used my mother's friend's name..."

"..."

Bae Sejin swallowed.

"...In this way, they won't think it was us. They might think it's a rival company or a former employee."

As it turns out, this guy seemed to have compiled all the employment and labor-related problems that have occurred at the agency so far and sent them. From unpaid overtime to illegal searches of personal information related to the industrial espionage case.
