Sohn's friend, who was with him on the day he was found dead in the Han River, disappeared for the first time in three weeks.

He was not trying to hide it, but he also explained the suspicions that had risen so far, saying that he could not remember because he was drunk a lot at the time.

In this regard, Son Jung-min's father is in a position that it is difficult to believe.

Let's hear what both sides argue for each issue.    


---------------



<Issue 1> What did you do during the time when the late Son Jung-min died?



[The late Son Jung-min's father] The


most important thing we are curious about is what we did during that time, but in the end, there is nothing that has changed from the original answer that we can't remember because of drinking.

All the rest were consistent with incidental rhetoric and excuses, and in fact, none of the questions I was curious about were solved.

And now I don't want to get an apology, but I haven't apologized, and I don't think it's an apology to submit a statement to the press in this way.

I'm just feeling bad because I've never apologized to us.



Q. What did you do during the time that Jeong-min Son died?



[Mr. A's lawyer]


In fact, all of the questions, the various suspicions that are being raised, and our position are the most premised facts, but the problem actually begins with the fact that Group A is not good at remembering. Of course, in this part, when we look at the movements or things that appear on CCTVs or something like this, or when we start approaching how we can hardly remember it, we are in a very frustrating situation. Of course, Group A is the most frustrating situation, and the bereaved family members must be in a frustrating situation. First of all, I think I have to put that part on the premise and tell you about it. So, of course, even the parents of Group A are frustrated. With my friends, I was a very good student now, so I never had a quarrel. That's why I don't think there must have been an accident, but I have that belief, but it's true that I can't remember anyway, so my parents were as cautious as possible. If there is something wrong, he thought that he should accept the error, and he was in a situation where he was waiting for the result of an objective investigation carefully.



<Issue 2> Why didn't you call at dawn because you were close?



[The late Son Jung-min's father]


In front of you, you said you were a close friend. I'm a close friend. Why can't I call when my close friend disappears or it's dangerous? If you say that you are a close friend in front of you and that it is difficult to call at dawn in the back, you are not a close friend. If you're a close friend, you should have called. If it's difficult to make the phone call, it's true that you're not a close friend. If you say that you've been on a trip twice, you're close to too many people, and that's such a close friend that you can't contact at dawn, and you're worried. I have no choice but to think that I didn't because there was a reason I couldn't call.



 Q. A group and the deceased weren't close friends?



[Mr. A's lawyer]


The point you asked is why you didn't call and went to find it? Isn't that just the part that you didn't call? I came home and I was already drunk when I got home. So, due to the circumstances posted on the entrance door, the parents of Group A were awake at the time. In that state, I heard the sound of Drunk A entering the house, so I went to Group A's room a little later, and Group A was going to sleep in a drunk state. In that situation,'Is your body okay? Did you drink too much? Where did you eat it?' It was a situation where Group A was unable to communicate properly. As if it was just very difficult, the answer was answered in this way, ``I don't know,'' just by the actions of a drunk person, and in that situation, I made a call at around 5 a.m. It was a bit burdensome to do. And I wonder if Group A's mother had some close friends, but that close relationship is the relationship that I met at the university mothers' association, so it is true that I had a close relationship with him after seeing it often. It's a relationship between each other, so there's never been a call or anything like that at dawn. It wasn't such a relationship, so there was a problem, and then another problem was not knowing exactly where the deceased would have fallen asleep. That's why Army A's father wakes up Army A for that reason and takes him away. But there is a part where it is difficult to explain something by calling it. I don't know where.



And another very important part is that Group A's father has a very strong sense of responsibility. Actually, this is not only one, but also in other parts, but be very careful. But my friend was drunk and I was sleeping alone. My son and Group A were also drunk, but even so, the fact that I came back alone didn't really look good and didn't think that was a good thing. So, isn't this a little unresponsible? Because of the part that I did, I actually scolded a little lightly scolding Army A there? There is a part where you have been scolded a little bit, so the basic idea was that this is a responsible behavior only if I go back and wake me up myself. If you enter university and enter university, don't you get close to each other? In the midst of getting close to each other, he was a close friend who belonged to a close group. I went on a lot of trips and went abroad two times and talked about snorkeling together at a resort. In addition, I went to the reading room together, and recently and sometimes the two met and talked and drank alcohol. This is what I said in just one word. A friend who can easily contact me whenever I want to drink more because I am a little drunk. I think you can understand it like this.



<Issue 3> CCTV footage that seems like a family member of Group A is looking for something other than a friend?



[The late Son Jung-min's father]


You know when you watch the released video. What did those three people do? It's in the public video of what those three people did and what they did. I don't look for a child, I keep going back and forth on the part where the accident happened for about 10 minutes, then my wife called, so I came in to get a cell phone, and the three were looking at the CCTV only before leaving. Looks like it's looking for my son. It was because they had to come and fix the accident, check the problems, and contact us.



 Q. A CCTV video that looks like a family member of Group A is looking for something other than a friend?



[Attorney on Mr. A's side] In


fact, we did not know this suspicion well, so we did not know this suspicion, so we asked ourselves. It is true that CCTV was checked at the time, and the deceased was not seen during the search. He did a search, but while he couldn't find the deceased, he discovered that there was a CCTV over there and thought,'Oh, if there is a CCTV, I will find it soon.'



There was a report saying that I didn't seem to find it, but when I look at the entire CCTV footage at that time, the part I'm looking for is clearly confirmed. There are also parts of the video about the process of finding the deceased, so I hope that such parts are not misleading. 



And I called at around 5:30, and that's a little bit visually dawning time. So, it's 30 minutes apart, but at this time I don't call, and at this time, I call and there are such stories. When it's very dark and when the sun starts to rise. And rather, it wasn't there because I just came to see it, so I thought it was a little more comfortable.



Q. Wasn't the appointment of a lawyer a little quicker?


First of all, the part that the appointment of the first lawyer was quick. There was no lawyer until the first investigation on April 26 and the first hypnosis investigation on April 27. The first time I visited our law firm was on the evening of April 28th, and the biggest reason for visiting was that Group A is having a very hard time psychologically now, and the intensity of the struggle is getting stronger and stronger. From the point of view of, it was unfamiliar to me that it was the first investigation of the reference person, and the first hypnotic hypnosis investigation. I also got it, but I'm under the second hypnotic investigation again. So, what is this legal procedure, how long does it last in such a difficult situation? I was worried about it, but I also had questions. Parents cannot always be accompanied by Group A for the last time, and rather, a person with more professional competence will give advice and this will stabilize Group A's psychology. That's why it started in the first place. There are psychological stability and protection of Army A, but in fact, the lawyer did nothing when participating in the hypnosis investigation.



Q. Has anyone in your family been favored by a high-ranking official?


It's a pity for us socially right now, but it seems that there are some disbelief in the general public opinion. I think that there are cases where there is a basis, but in many cases there is no basis, but in our case, there was no basis. It is completely irrelevant, and there are no relatives or family members or anyone like this related to the investigative agency, the legal profession, the politics, or the media as we can think of.



<Issue 4> Why did you even make such a statement?



[The late Son Jung-min's father]


Thinking that he was a friend until the end, we want to know what he did between 3:30 and 4:30, and he wasn't sleeping at that time, and I can't remember eating and drinking because it's obviously a moving video. It's consistent with that, so it's frustrating and we're just curious about what happened, not because we want our friends to verify what they've done wrong. My son is dead, whether a friend did something wrong or not. My son is already dead, and I don't like it just because a friend admits that he did something wrong. I just want to know why my son went in, so I just have to talk about it, and I don't need to issue a position like this or appoint a lawyer. I just need to tell you that, but I can't understand why I chose a lawyer so uselessly, issued a statement, and didn't apologize to us.



[Mr. A's lawyer]


Since the relationship was unclear, it was a little difficult for us to express our position. In fact, I can't give you quick answers to the parts you're curious about. So, one is that, and more important than that, when I think about the heart of the bereaved family who lost their child, it seems that there were some reactions to this after we announced the position statement. 'When I think about the heart of my parents who lost their children, I will tell you, why haven't you told me about that until now?' The first thing is, as I said before, I don't really know so well, and the facts are unclear. Second, from our standpoint, I think we can think so from the mind of parents who have lost something to the absolute bereaved family. However, I think there are some misunderstandings due to the process of telling the story, then the investigation process or misunderstandings about this process.



But when we talk about the misconception that it is not that we are, but this is the case, it becomes more like a so-called truth workshop that hurts the bereaved family, so that it may become more nuisance to the bereaved. The concern about it is another part that we couldn't say. But in the midst of that, we won't tell you the name that we were late to expressing our position, but there was a piece that a certain broadcasting company sent out about the position of our law firm, and it seems that it is likely to be misunderstood. We decided to announce our position this time with the judgment that it would be better to talk honestly about what our situation is like now.



Q. What is the condition of Mr. A's family?


First of all, worry a lot about the bereaved family. When talking with us, we actually worry about our clients too, so'Are you okay? Articles like this came out, weren't you shocked?' Then, the usual words to us are,'How hard will the parents of the deceased now be, but can we say that it is difficult with these things? Even investigations can be received unconditionally. That way, we can do anything if it helps to find out the facts, and if it helps the deceased's bereaved family.' Basically. By the way, you have that kind of heart and are all cooperating, but there are things like bad comments in Internet comments, and you can't see this, isn't it? So, because of that, there are parts where people get hurt a lot and struggle a lot. But in the midst of such a situation, in fact, even now, the family members of the deceased, in a comfortable language between us, what would be the heart of the parents who lost their children? I can't even dare to imagine myself, and I worry a lot about how difficult it will be in that way. Talk a lot like that. It is such a situation.
