I cant agree with this at all just cause the older brother went through it doesn't give him the right to use minjae as scapegoat so he doesnt have to through it dont get me wring the chairman is a grapeist and a ped-o-file je should rott for what he did but the brother is just as bad if not worse for being a victim himself and enabling that kind of thing to continue knowing how it is to be put in that same position!!! All in order to "PROTECT" himself and his brother i call BS if he brother was in that same position he would let it happen as ling as it wasnt him!!!
yes thank you i love a sensible human! Also, if they did tell a reporter or the police, any chance of big success or a normal life would be ruined, so it makes sense that older brother doesnt want that, since hes been putting in so much effort into hiding it all this time, so it would just ruin his efforts if he told someone before he was an adult with more power and success achieved
Yeah he use's Minjae and the otber brother for his own benefit!! He used Minjae as his SCAPEGOAT and the other brother he manipulates him he is not a good person amd i dont understand why the comments defend him in this situation the realest thing i can compare it to is the chairman would be p diddy! The older brother would be usher and minjae is jistin bieber
While I don't think it is right to use the word "scapegoat" in this context from the looks of the general definition from google. Yes, it is bad for the older brother to not protect Minjae when he can, but for some people who's been suffering for a long time. Isn't the sound of some break from the abuse just so sweet? Does it make it objectively right? No. But its not wrong for the older brother to not want to be abused. I can't look at another victim's selfish actions with thoughts of hatred. One of them had to suffer. The circumstances force it to be this way. If the older brother was a saint, he'd be willing to take place of Minjae again. But it's actually really hard to be that nice when face with something so cruel you know you can avoid. The whole situation is just saddening and pitiful.
I might be leaning towards the older brother here in this disscusion, but I know Minjae also suffered a lot. It's lonely with no one by his side and with "brothers" who are distant and cruel themselves. I just dislike the tone of commenters who blame the older brother with no thoughts of even a disdain pity. I just find a lot of their actions easy to understand on why the act that way ( even if I might infer it wrongly, it is stillwhat infer regardless.) Its hard to blame them when its survivability on the line.
I agree and i dont think you are wrong either. There is no reason for him to enjoy from Minjae being abused. He actually looked terrified when he heard Minjae was called by chairman but he is been victim since long time. Even if there was something he could do, he is conditioned to stay silent. He even explains why reporting police wont help. Like you said, its very low chance for them to get away from powerfull abuser. Jungwoo also has chronic illness so i dont see him being able to fight agaisnt president. I think only and biggest selfish thing he did is threathing Minjae with murder, if he expose the abuse. So of course he is wrong for it and its understandable for Minjae to hate him. But its not hard to see his sitution. He is victim, not the main villain. Its common for victims to behave like this. So yeah, i agree with you.
You got the jist as to why i used "SCAPEGOAT"
you understood what i meant! So sure its not the exact definition but it is still another definition of victim! But he was stilled used as a "SCAPGOAT" he gets blamed for things that he had no control over!

As a victim myself i cant sympathise with the older brother at all, your worse if not better to let that stuff carry on and then willing throw someone else into that same fire, sure you can say you understand and sure you can defend the older brother here! (Thats your opinion and i can respect that) but as someone who was in that situation myself! I would happily throw myself into hell to save someone else! SURE AS HELL i would!!! Would i be scared out of my mind YES! Would it BREAK me DAMN sure it will! But could i allow someone to bare what i bare with in order to give myself a sigh of relief, to give myself a break! NO i cant i cant EVER let someone go through the pain and fear i went through just thinking about this now breaks my heart more then the fear i would feel if i had to go through it again i would never enable this kind of behaviour and i would never let anyone become a victim for my own relief its SICKENING!
Some of y'all need to understand that, yes, what the older brother did is cruel, but he's been abused this way for a very long time. Brushing off the abuse as a dream is his way of coping. It's what's keep him functioning and what's "working" for him this far. This might be bold, and I might be wrong. This situation is extremely complex but I have to say I firmly believe he isn't necessarily happy about the abuse turning to Minjae. Obviously, He's glad it isn't him anymore but to help Minjae deal with the abuse he tell him what he knows.
The refusal for help in this type of situation is pretty common, I feel. It isn't always gonna work out well. If it fails they all will suffer a harsher consequence. Since Minjae just came I don't think he can truly comprehend the power the chairman really have. The Older brother has been there longer and with the knowledge of everything, he just believes there is more risk and danger to reveal everything than to just accept the abuse. Also he's probably scared of what would happen to his younger brother since he cared for him.
