Jung Kyung-ho has been at the center of the alleged manipulation trial.

In the 9th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "Pro Bono" (script Moon Yoo-seok, director Kim Sung-yoon), which aired on the 3rd, the pro bono team members' journey to follow the truth over the alleged manipulation trial filed against Kang Da-wit (Jeong Kyung-ho).

According to viewer rating research firm Nielsen Korea, viewership in the 9th episode averaged 6 percent for households in the Seoul metropolitan area, up to 7.3 percent for households nationwide, and ranked first in both cable and general service channels at the same time. In addition, it was ranked first in cable and general programming channels at the same time in tvN's target 2049 male and female viewership.

On the same day, pro bono team member Park Goy-mi (starring So-yeon) fell into great confusion after a meeting with habitual fraudster Yoo Jae-beom (Yeon Je-wook). After Yoo Jae-beom admitted to manipulating bribery charges against Kang, he mentioned Kang's manipulation trial as the reason for the crime. Yoo Jae-beom handed over the evidence he had collected for 10 years, adding credibility to the claims of judicial victims, further complicating the heart of Park's joy.

Park Joy, who was struggling alone, called a pro bono team meeting except for Kang Da-witt. Park Joy, who described the situation of a large fire accident at a factory run by Yoo Jae-beom's father Yoo Man-woo (Kim Yong-joon), explained that Kang David, the judge in charge at the time, held the representative Yoo Man-man, not the head of the factory, responsible for safety management, and furthermore, he received great social attention as he sentenced an unusually strong ruling.

In addition, Park also shared circumstantial evidence and evidence that made Kang David's manipulation trial suspicious. It was said that Yoo-man, who expressed his unfairness, died of a vase during his imprisonment, and that the factory manager's statement that the trial flowed toward holding the representative accountable and could not freely state it.

If this claim is true, the suspicion that Kang David intentionally intervened in the trial will inevitably increase. The confused pro bono team tried to hear Kang Da-witt's position directly, but the situation quickly worsened without being able to afford it. After Kang's alleged manipulation trial was further publicized, Oh Kyu-jang (played by Kim Gap-soo), the de facto head of the law firm, urged Yoo to take over Yoo Jae-beom's request as a public interest lawyer.

As a result, the Pro Bono team, who desperately needed to talk to Kang David more than anyone else, finally heard the backside of the incident from Kang David. Kang said his mother, who worked at a paper mill of Yu million in the past, lost her hand in an accident and filed a lawsuit for damages, but the trial was dismissed after more than a year and a half of delay. Subsequently, Kang David confessed that this experience was the starting point for him to walk the path of a legal professional and that he wanted to be a judge who protected fairness so that there would be no more victims like his mother.

However, when Kang David's words were over, immediate questions were raised within the Pro Bono team. Hwang Joon-woo (played by Kang Hyung-seok) pointed out that at least an evasive decision was needed for a fair trial, and Park Joy also said that the story Kang told could be interpreted as a strong motive for the crime.

At that moment, Kang David suddenly smiled meaningfully and said, "You've learned well from me, haven't you? Yes, I did," he said, shocking. In addition, Kang David, who expressed his intention to exercise his right to remain silent immediately, said, "See you in court," and left the pro bono team's office leisurely, causing deep confusion among viewers.
