I had an instinct that ‘this person is Yoo Young-chul.’ He continued to have a snowball fight and said, “Isn’t it natural for the worker to see the prisoner? I’m watching what he’s doing,” and turned his head. “Madness is in the eyes of a murderer.” In addition, during the interview, the prisoner riot situation actually happened, and the scene where the prison guards were hurriedly dispatched was captured on camera, and the tension reached its peak.
