"Good evening, I am Lee Jooheon in for Exclusive Scoop by JTBS News. Two years ago in South Korea, a mysterious explosion in the deep dark woods rattled small neighborhood near Itaewon. When an investigation was carried out, it was found that a hidden medical facilty operated by an unknown authority had been blown up. According to the evidences found at the site, cops believe a short circuit could have been the cause of collapse of the magnetic field in the transformer feeding the facility. Thirty eight bodies of young men were recovered at the site. The post mortem reports had confirmed that the staff at the facility had administered illegal drugs to these young adults. At that time, there has been some speculations that this mysterious facility was infact financed by Taekang Group of Companies, but there were nil evidences to support that theory. After two years of investigation, the case was closed on the basis of lack of evidence and witnesses.
Today, we have with us an alleged 'participant' of the said facility who, after a long silence, has decided to open up about the incident for the first time on the national television.
So, over to you. Mr. *censored* How did it all begin?"

".... If I tell you that all that's happened in the past, the existence of the facility, the bloodshed, the explosion; everything you know about this case has actually never happened, would you believe me?"
