The first reporter to report on the Kim Gun-hee Dior bag bribery scandal, the 7-hour recording, and Han Dong-hoon's collusion with the prosecution and the media, Jang In-su's reporting and his work on prosecution and media reform.

Jang In-su, a 20-year veteran MBC reporter, left MBC on November 20, 2023, to report on the Kim Gun-hee Dior bag bribery incident.
"Resolve and Become a Journalist Again" contains the past reporting of reporter Jang In-su, who left MBC and created the YouTube channel "Journalist."
Among the exclusive reports by Jang In-soo that have caused a stir in the past, such as the Kim Gun-hee Dior bag bribery case, the 7-hour recording, Han Dong-hoon's collusion with the prosecution, Son Jun-seong's instigation of the indictment, the abusive behavior of the granddaughter of former Chosun Ilbo president Bang Jeong-o, and the fabrication of Lee Si-won as a spy in Seoul, these are the cases that have targeted the power and the regime.


The cases covered in this book are a tracing and accusation of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration and its associates, while also revealing the actions of the prosecution and the media surrounding the cases.
This is still a work in progress.
"What is a journalist?", "Why should the prosecution and the media be reformed?", "Why should Yoon Seok-yeol be punished?" "Resolve to Become a Journalist Again" is Jang In-su's answer to these questions.

'Intention' is not the journalist's domain.
For example, if a politician or a person in power received a bribe, and a reporter knew about it, the reporter only had to report it based on the facts.
It doesn't make sense to say that you can't use the money because you don't know the purpose of receiving it.
I want to be a reporter who can decide whether or not to report based on the facts.
The reporter who did as he was told from above was boring.

--- From the "Preface"

Pastor Choi, who attended the inauguration ceremony, is said to have asked Kim Geon-hee how he should express his gratitude.
“Kim Gun-hee likes luxury goods, so how about buying her luxury goods?” Up until this point, the two had no intention of filming or exposing anything using luxury goods.
But things in this world don't always go as planned.

Reporter Lee Myeong-su said, "It's that guy," and Kim Gun-hee said, "Oh, he's cool."
It's rhetoric that was popular in the 1970s, but it works again.
It is a realm that cannot be imitated.
The first call ended like this.
It was only 17 minutes and 49 seconds.
This reporter did not launch a barrage of questions like other reporters.
I was curious and wanted to know what kind of person he was.
So, I talked a lot about human aspects and actively explained myself.
But it doesn't mean that only the bells are ringing.
At odd times, he suddenly asks embarrassing questions like 'Julie'.

--- From "The Truth Behind the 7-Hour Recording Report with MBC"

If there's a suspicious situation, adding a little bit of color to it makes it easier to implicate someone.
This is the method the prosecution has been using so far.
With the April 2020 general election just around the corner, conservative media and prosecutors must have desperately needed an "incident" that would shake up the political landscape.
They tried to create it because the incident didn't happen on their own.
So, it was not important to them whether Lee Cheol actually gave money to Yoo Si-min.
The important thing was that Lee Cheol said, 'I gave you money.'
--- From "Han Dong-hoon and the Collusion Between Prosecutors and the Press"

At the time, I didn't know why conservative media was obsessed with the frame of collusion between power and media.
The counterattack by conservative media outlets including Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, and Dong-A Ilbo was expected.
But the reports that it was an attack were so strange.
To raise suspicions of collusion between power and media, there must be at least the minimum circumstances to support the suspicions, but there was none.
But he was persistent.
They kept shouting about collusion between the government and the press, saying that there was no basis for their claims.
It was strange.
What is this? Why is he so persistent? Why is he so reckless when there are no facts? The mystery was solved after a year and five months.
--- From "Son Jun-seong and the Accusation"

There are sometimes items that have hidden stories you want to tell.
When a hidden story is revealed during the reporting process, you become immersed in the reporting as if under a spell.
This interview was like that.
It had to be broadcast.

--- From "TV Chosun CEO Bang Jeong-oh and his daughter's class-based behavior"

Watching the reports at the time, I was surprised and amazed by the prosecution and the National Intelligence Service's blatant manipulation of evidence.
The evidence manipulation by the prosecution and the National Intelligence Service was becoming increasingly outrageous.
If it is discovered that the evidence is fabricated, the investigation should be stopped there. 274
However, the prosecution and the National Intelligence Service continued to present fabricated evidence.
