Let's talk more with reporter Kim Ji-wook, who returned today (17th) after covering for 6 days and 5 nights in Bangkok, Thailand.



Q. Accompanying former chairman Kim Seong-tae on a flight?



[Reporter Kim Ji-wook: I met former Chairman Kim from the airport yesterday and took the same plane for about 5 hours and 15 minutes.

It was the first time he appeared in the media after 8 months of escaping, so I was very curious as I had been covering it, but he was much more relaxed than I thought.

I would leisurely board the plane with a book on, and on the plane, I would comfortably watch a movie in the back seat and empty my meal.

The book was called 'Rural Samurai Lee Seong-gye' about Lee Seong-gye fighting the Japanese before he became king, but I didn't read it on the plane.]



Q. What was the situation when you moved to Bangkok Airport?



[Reporter Kim Ji-wook: Former Chairman Kim was detained at the Bangkok Foreigner Detention Center for six days, and when he moved from here to the airport, it was like a spy movie.

When leaving the shelter, the escort vehicle took the lead, and two convoy vans followed side by side. At the airport, which is about 30 minutes away, two convoy cars arrived separately and hovered around for about 10 minutes.

Also, the reporters looked at one vehicle that had stopped, but there were prisoners from other countries in it, and former chairman Kim Seong-tae, who was in another vehicle at that time, had already entered the departure hall.

Since former Chairman Kim was known to have hired even a local gang, it seems that the Thailand Immigration Bureau also prepared for emergencies during the transfer process.]



Q. 'Emperor's escape' wife, did you see it in the field?



[Reporter Kim Ji-wook: After I arrived in the area last Thursday, I inquired about people who were close to former chairman Kim, as well as golf courses and bars that former chairman Kim often went to.

I heard from many people that former chairman Kim not only lived in a condo with a monthly rent of 4 million won, but also went to a bar where alcohol cost over 1 million won a day, and played golf.

I heard that there were many people who wanted to meet former Chairman Kim in order to receive investment because they enjoyed this kind of life.

I met the reporters at the departure hall and asked what kind of emperor escaped eating kimchi and sashimi
