My understanding is that the older lady at the temple is not in government, but quite the opposite. She is a loanshark, and possibly in organized crime. She knows about prisons because she is a criminal. She is rich and powerful, yet not a part of the uppers starter of society. If you think back to how her son was dressed and how he was acting when buying the ring, you could tell that he was a bit low-class.
I was thinking that too. It just appeared that she had government pull. But i guess that can still be true if she is in organized crime and is backing some officials.
@@watchingwhateverreactions I’m not even sure she got the transfer done. I think they basically got people to harass and beat him up, which prompted prison officials to transfer him to a different facility, with the one he ended up in perhaps being the default or likely destination for a prisoner on death row who they had to move. I’m guessing there are only so many prisons where people awaiting capital punishment are housed. Of course with Korea effectively having suspended capital punishment by executive order for a long while now, that might not be a factor. Or maybe him getting assaulted merely gave a corrupt prison official the excuse to transfer him. Or maybe I am just overthinking it.
