- Book Intro
-
“I’m sorry, but we don’t decide between guilt and innocence.”
The Human Rights Promotion Committee is an independent organization established to promote the human rights of the people. The members of the committee are investigators who work to protect the rights of petitioners. Yoonseo is a veteran investigator who deals with each case very carefully, creating an indecisive image. Dalsook is an enthusiastic investigator who regards other people’s business as her own. Hongtae believes that he always has to side with the weak, but sometimes he is seen as righteous and his decisions are sometimes seen as arbitrary. Jihoon passed the bar exam but has not been making significant achievements in the committee. Though neither a police officer nor a detective, these four characters diligently and fairly carry out their duties to handle five cases.
