The harsh sound of whistling wind mingled with the rhythmic chants of the Marine Corps soldiers as they trained in a large, dust-covered field. Amid the rigorous exercises, Corporal Chae Soo Geun stood out, his stern expression showing his unyielding determination.

Gasping for breath but not breaking his form, Corporal Chae responded, "Yes, sir!" As the session concluded, Corporal Chae's tense demeanor softened as he joined his comrades, their camaraderie evident in their laughter. "Soo-min, wasn't today's training really hard?" one teammate asked, wiping sweat from his brow. "But we did it, we're Marines!" Corporal Chae replied, his smile broadening. "That's right, Soo-min, you're amazing," another teammate added, clapping him on the back.

"Cha Soo-min, push harder, don't stop here!" the trainer barked.

July 19, 2023, dawned with a grim urgency. Heavy rains had caused devastating floods, prompting a search operation for missing persons. The Marine Corps, including Corporal Chae, was dispatched to aid in the efforts. The torrential rain showed no mercy, the water rushing wildly as the soldiers waded through the chaos. "I think there's someone over there, let's go!" Corporal Chae shouted, his voice barely audible over the roaring water. "Soo-min, be careful!" a colleague warned, but it was too late.

A powerful current swept Corporal Chae off his feet. His comrades lunged to grab him, but the water's strength was overwhelming. "Soo-min, catch him!" one soldier screamed. "No! Soo-min!" another cried, their voices lost in the deluge.

Despair hung heavy over the team as they realized the gravity of their loss. "What happened... We should have moved faster..." one soldier lamented, his voice thick with guilt. "Soo-min is our hero, we'll never forget him," another said solemnly, echoing the sentiment of the entire unit.

The news of Corporal Chae Soo Geun's disappearance and subsequent death reverberated through the Marine Corps, prompting an immediate investigation. Colonel Park Jung-hoon, a stoic figure in his forties, led the charge. "We must thoroughly investigate the cause of Corporal Chae's death. Let's keep all possibilities open," Colonel Park declared during a tense meeting in the Marine Corps conference room.

"Yes, Colonel. We've already completed the on-site investigation and secured the statements of those involved," a team member reported. At the scene, Colonel Park meticulously examined every detail, taking notes and questioning the lack of safety equipment. "The current here is quite strong... Is it true that the safety equipment was not properly issued?" he asked, his gaze piercing. "Yes, Colonel, based on the testimonies of the soldiers who were on the scene that day, it appears that there was a significant lack of safety equipment," the team member confirmed.

Interviews with Corporal Chae's comrades painted a harrowing picture. "The corporal was swept away by a sudden wave. We tried to save him, but it was too fast..." one soldier recounted, his voice trembling. "We weren't issued the right safety gear that day, that was the biggest problem," another soldier added, frustration evident in his tone.

As Colonel Park delved deeper, he began to encounter resistance from higher-ups, hinting at a more sinister force at play. "I have questions about the lack of safety equipment. This material is crucial," Colonel Park insisted during a meeting with senior officials. "I'll check, but there may be pressure from above. We need to be prepared for external pressure," a senior official cautioned. His phone buzzed incessantly, the caller ID "02-800" flashing repeatedly. "Blue House, it's clear that they're trying to hide something," Colonel Park muttered to himself, the pieces of the puzzle starting to form a troubling picture. The pressure escalated, with direct orders from the President's office demanding the investigation plan. "This is an order from the top," an official from the Blue House sternly instructed over the phone. "It is our duty to maintain the confidentiality of the investigation, please understand," Colonel Park replied, his resolve hardening. In a dimly lit room within the Blue House, Kim So-hee, an elegant yet dangerous figure deeply immersed in shamanism, performed a ritual. President Yoon Sung-hyuk, looking unsteady, stood beside her. "So-hee, is it okay as it is?" he asked, his voice wavering. "Don't worry, brother. There is no one who can escape our clutches. Even if they search for the truth, it is only their own vain dreams," she reassured him, a wicked smile spreading across her face.

As Colonel Park continued his investigation, he sought the help of an independent journalist, Kang Min-joon. Meeting in a dark parking lot, they exchanged crucial information. "Reporter Kang, this case is not just an accident. Here is the relevant material," Colonel Park said, handing over a folder. "Colonel, is this really related to Kim So-hee?" Kang Min-joon asked, his curiosity piqued. "Yes, we need evidence, and we need your help," Colonel Park affirmed.

Late into the night, Reporter Kang analyzed the data, uncovering disturbing links to Kim So-hee's shamanistic rituals. "Kim So-hee... Jezebel... The person at the center of power. The one behind all these events," he muttered, the pieces falling into place.

Colonel Park faced a dire dilemma, torn between his duty and the overwhelming external pressures. "I must risk everything to reveal the truth. But too many people may be in danger..." he pondered, his anguish palpable.

Defying orders, Colonel Park handed over the material to the independent media, knowing the consequences. "Colonel Park Jun-hyung, you acted arbitrarily and against orders. You will be charged with treason," his superior declared. "I will pay any price to reveal the truth," Colonel Park responded, his voice unwavering. Standing before a court martial, he faced his fate with a mixture of frustration and determination. "The truth will eventually come out, I will never give up," he vowed, tears brimming in his eyes. In the dim confines of the independent media office, Reporter Kang Min-joon worked tirelessly, piecing together the final elements of their exposé. The evidence was damning, implicating the Blue House and Kim So-hee in a web of deceit. "This... this could prove everything. I need to contact Colonel Park right away," Kang Min-joon realized, urgency gripping him. Meeting once more in secret, Colonel Park and Reporter Kang finalized their plans. "Tomorrow morning, when we release this, they will have nowhere to hide anymore," Colonel Park said, his determination burning brighter than ever. "You have to be careful, Colonel Park, they won't stand still," Kang Min-joon cautioned, aware of the risks. The threats soon materialized, a chilling voice over the phone warning Colonel Park. "Colonel Park, I know what you're doing. Stop it or you'll regret it," the voice hissed. "Who are you? Tell me who you are!" Colonel Park demanded, but the line went dead. Urgency mounted as they moved to deliver the evidence to the press, aware of the invisible forces closing in on them. "Min-joon, we're in trouble, and we need to get this material to the press right now," Colonel Park urged over the phone. "Okay, but it will put us both in danger. Are you ready?" Kang Min-joon asked, steeling himself. "There's no going back now. I'll do anything for the truth," Colonel Park declared. Inside a secret room in the Blue House, Kim So-hee plotted with senior officials, her malevolence clear. "We must not let them reveal the truth. We must stop them by any means necessary," she commanded. "We've already taken action. We'll take them out before they make a move," a senior official responded, their conspiracy deepening. As they neared the press center, a tense chase ensued, unseen threats trailing their every move. "Colonel Park, someone is following behind you," Kang Min-joon alerted. "Don't stop, we need to get to the press center safely," Colonel Park instructed, their resolve unshaken. At the media center, they handed over the evidence, preparing for a live broadcast that would change everything. "It's time for us to reveal the truth," Colonel Park said, a weight lifting off his shoulders. "We're ready, we're going live," Kang Min-joon confirmed, the moment of reckoning upon them.

The independent media report sent shockwaves through the nation. Reporter Kang Min-joon began the broadcast with urgency. "Dear viewers, from now on, we will reveal the truth about the death of Marine Corporal Chae Soo-geun, which includes the systematic involvement of the Blue House and the behind-the-scenes movements of Mrs. Kim So-hee," he announced. As the evidence was laid bare, the public reacted with fury. "Reveal the truth!" citizens chanted, protests erupting nationwide. "We will not forget the death of Corporal Chae Soo-geun!" they cried, their voices a testament to their collective outrage. The National Assembly moved swiftly, convening an emergency meeting to impeach President Yoon Seok-yul. "We are voting on the impeachment bill against President Yoon Seok-yul," the Speaker declared. "Aye!" resounded through the chamber, the decision unanimous. President Yoon Seok-yul, defeated and dejected, left the Blue House, Kim So-hee watching him go. "This is all over..." he muttered, his spirit broken. "Brother, you can't walk away so easily. We're not done yet," Kim So-hee whispered, her malevolent plans far from over. A memorial service for Corporal Chae Soo-geun saw a gathering of soldiers and citizens, united in grief and respect. "Corporal Chae Soo-geun is a hero to all of us. Through his sacrifice, the truth was revealed, and we will never forget him," an eulogy proclaimed, honoring his legacy. In the aftermath, scenes of soldiers returning to training and citizens resuming their daily lives highlighted the ongoing absurdities of the military and society. In a darkened room, Kim So-hee performed another shamanic ritual, her face twisted with madness. "Brother, the world is still in my grasp, I will never stop, no one can stop me," she vowed, her voice echoing in the darkness. The screen faded to black, symbolically alluding to the core of John 8:44, shadows hinting at the unseen forces manipulating people. "The greedy, the murderers, the liars - they are still among us, manipulating people," a low-toned voice narrated, leaving a haunting final message. Thus ended the tale of "Avenging the Truth," a story of sacrifice, deceit, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
