Jin Yunho got what he wished for, not only keeping his position as a prosecutor but also avoiding any punishment. The entire process was smooth and without any major issues.
After this incident, although his position remained unchanged, his reputation greatly improved.
Now, the public's evaluation of Jin Yunho is very high, with many people starting to praise him as the "most responsible and most conscientious" prosecutor.
When the truth came out, coupled with the public's support and praise for Jin Yunho, the media had no choice but to change their stance and lavish praise on Jin Yunho.
However, as the "kingmakers," the media had been fiercely criticizing Jin Yunho just yesterday. Now, they were turning around and praising him, which left a bitter taste in their mouths.
So they found an outlet for their frustration, which was the whistleblower of this incident—Director Jin Gwetae.
Under the media's deliberate guidance, while the public was praising Jin Yunho, they began to criticize the whistleblower, Jin Gwetae.
Jin Gwetae did not expect the situation to escalate so much.
At first, he was very pleased. After Jin Yunho made his "grand statements," Jin Gwetae was even more excited and secretly rejoiced for a long time.
He thought that Jin Yunho was at a loss due to his whistleblowing, and that was why he made such a foolish move, challenging all Koreans and criticizing their strict attitude towards gun use, which was truly reckless.
However, the series of events that followed were far beyond his expectations. Not only did Jin Yunho successfully turn the tide at the last moment, but he also received countless praises.
As for Jin Gwetae himself, he was exposed by enthusiastic netizens.
Netizens found a lot of strong evidence proving that he was the first to report Jin Yunho and the one who uploaded the video of Jin Yunho firing the gun.
While praising Jin Yunho, netizens began to criticize Jin Gwetae, using him as a negative example: criticizing him for lacking compassion and social responsibility. Just because his filming was delayed, he harbored a grudge against Jin Yunho and retaliated against such a good prosecutor, which was utterly shameless.
Now, even if Jin Gweta wanted to deny it, he had no way to do so and could only keep his head down and pretend not to hear.
He did not seriously reflect on his own problems but instead blamed everything on Jin Yunho.
If I don't take revenge on this, I am not a man! Kid, don't let me catch you again!
Jin Gweta could only vent his anger in his heart. Now, not only was his reputation damaged, but he also lost a lot of respect in the film industry.
The criticism and condemnation of Jin Gweta by the Korean public were mainly due to the deliberate guidance of the tabloids, while the major media did not participate in this matter.
They had their own pride.
Like the largest Korean TV station, KBS, they were the first to release the video of Jin Yunho firing the gun and the first to report on this incident. They also criticized Jin Yunho the most and the harshest.
However, after the truth came out, they did not formally apologize to Jin Yunho; they only broadcast the facts.
To make them apologize to a low-level prosecutor like Jin Yunho? Jin Yunho was not worthy enough.
This was the power of the major media and their attitude towards Jin Yunho.
But overall, the situation was still favorable for Jin Yunho. Whether it was the major media or the tabloids, they were now reporting positive news about Jin Yunho.
After listening to Shin Dongha's account, Jin Yunho only smiled faintly.
Whether it was Jin Gweta or the media, he did not have the time or energy to waste on them. He needed to rest and recuperate, and there were many more important things to do afterward.

Jin Yunho's injury was not serious; the wound was only two to three centimeters deep and did not hit any vital areas. He could walk around a bit on the first day after surgery.
After staying in the hospital for two more days, Jin Yunho could not bear it anymore and had to be discharged early, returning to his home in Juro District.
During these two days in the hospital, not only did his subordinates like Yoon Gukhong, Lee Hwina, and Song Eunji come to visit, but even unfamiliar colleagues from the Gangnam District Prosecutors' Office came in groups. Added to this were the disturbances from journalists and the public, which made him very annoyed.
Moreover, he particularly disliked the smell of disinfectant. Under various excuses, Jin Yunho was discharged early.
Shin Dongha sent him home, along with his mother and sister.
They received the news of Jin Yunho's injury at noon that day.
When they anxiously arrived at the hospital, they saw Jin Yunho walking around in the room, which reassured them, but they could not help but scold him.
"Yunho, how do you feel in the car? Do you feel like vomiting?" Zheng Daqin and Jin Yuxi sat on either side of Jin Yunho in the back seat, with Zheng Daqin asking with concern.
"No." Jin Yunho shook his head and answered.
"Oh... That's good. The doctor said you might feel nauseous after surgery, which is very uncomfortable. It's good that you don't." Zheng Daqin held Jin Yunho's hand and rubbed it repeatedly.
"Mom... Don't worry. My injury is not serious. I'll be fine after a few days at home. By the way, what do you want to eat, big brother? Tell me quickly, and I'll go buy the ingredients and cook for you."
Jin Yuxi's cooking skills were also excellent, not inferior to Zheng Daqin's. Seeing Jin Yunho injured, she was very heartbroken and wanted to cook some good food for him to recover.
"Right, right, tell us quickly. Is there anything you particularly want to eat?... I'll do it. I'll stew a black chicken for you to replenish your blood and energy." Zheng Daqin quickly took over this task, as she did not trust Jin Yuxi.
"Ha ha..." Seeing the concern of his mother and sister, Jin Yunho smiled happily.
After settling down at home in Juro District, Shin Dongha left.
He could not bear the enthusiasm of Zheng Daqin and Jin Yuxi and refused to have lunch at Jin Yunho's house.
In the afternoon, Jin Yunho lay in his old bedroom, which was only about ten square meters. Although it was not as comfortable as the new apartment, it had a sense of home.
After returning home, he was treated like a VIP, with everything done for him, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, his mother and sister did not let him get out of bed, saying it was to prevent him from moving around and tearing his wound.
He was not a child; how could he not know the severity?
Jin Yunho's arguments were ineffective, and now he was confined to the room.
Zheng Daqin was running the noodle shop downstairs, and Jin Yuxi went out to buy groceries. He was alone in the second-floor attic room.
How boring.
However, he did not know that this boredom was about to turn into noise.
