Kim Je-dong, who is serious when necessary and responds with comedy regarding past illegal surveillance #IllegalSurveillance #KimJedong Source: MBC Branch of the Korean Journalists Union (0:00~1:11) Intro: Expressing a sense of disillusionment rather than fear regarding the mention of his name in surveillance documents, he points out the surveillance tactics that create baseless anxiety. (1:12~1:42) Reason for Choosing the Venue: He explains that he arranged this meeting to block repetitive questions and rumors and to clearly convey his position directly. (1:43~3:18) Meeting with NIS Officials: He specifically describes the situation at the time when he met with NIS employees around the time of attending the memorial service for the first anniversary of former President Roh Moo-hyun's death, where he faced attempts at persuasion and pressure. (3:19~4:40) His Conviction: He emphasizes that despite external pressure, he did not compromise his beliefs, such as attending the memorial service, with the thought that "I cannot live as someone who is not me." (4:41~6:06) Feelings of Apology: Expressing pity for ordinary citizens and past victims who suffer under the same pressure in even worse circumstances, unlike himself who, as a public figure, is able to speak out. (6:07~7:26) Family's Worries and Feelings: Revealing that his mother's strong dissuasion was a greater source of conflict than the National Intelligence Service, he recalls that at the time, his desire not to be humiliated outweighed any threats. (7:27~9:31) The Reality of Anxiety: Pointing out that he feels even more anxious precisely because there is no content regarding the surveillance, he demands that if anything was done wrong, it should be revealed openly. (9:32~11:40) Criticism of Dichotomous Censorship: Criticizing how social censorship and stigmatization, such as labeling someone a "left-wing celebrity," divide and diminish human beings. (11:41~14:20) The Importance of Human Emotions: Criticizes the perspective that interprets even the sadness naturally felt as a human being in the face of national tragedies such as the Cheonan sinking through a political lens, and emphasizes the capacity for empathy toward others. (14:21~14:45) Appeal to Conscience: Urges intelligence agency personnel to act according to their conscience instead of surveilling the public. (14:46~16:21) The Essence of Surveillance and Conclusion: Reminds the audience of the original meaning of surveillance (self-reflection) and boldly demands that if they are truly innocent, they should transparently announce the investigation results and conclude the matter.
