‘Honor: Their Courtroom’ delivered another major turning point, exposing the true identity of the mysterious Green Hood and expanding the Connect-In scandal to the highest levels of power.
Episode 6, which aired on February 17, recorded 3.6 percent in the Seoul metropolitan area and 3.1 percent nationwide according to Nielsen Korea paid household ratings. The episode set a new personal best in the metropolitan area, signaling the drama’s accelerating momentum and growing viewer engagement.
The long-hidden identity of Green Hood was finally revealed. Jeon So-young, who had been introduced as a victim of sexual exploitation under the protection of L&J, was exposed as Han Min-seo, a central figure with hidden motives. Her transformation from protected victim to key player dramatically shifted the emotional axis of the story and intensified the narrative tension.
At the same time, Yoon Ra-young, played by Lee Na-young, launched a calculated counterattack. She persuaded Hong Yeon-hee, the abused wife of prosecutor Park Je-yeol portrayed by Seo Hyun-woo, to cooperate by handing over a USB capable of cloning mobile phone data. Her calm yet piercing strategy reinforced her role as a formidable force confronting institutional corruption.
Kang Shin-jae, played by Jung Eun-chae, also took decisive action after losing her leadership position. She formed an alliance with Baek Tae-joo, CEO of IT company The Prime portrayed by Yeon Woo-jin, in an effort to restructure L&J as an independent nonprofit foundation. Their partnership signaled the beginning of a direct confrontation against entrenched corporate and political influence.
Meanwhile, recovered data from the murdered journalist’s laptop revealed audio evidence linking prosecutor Park Je-yeol to the Connect-In app. The testimony indicated he had manipulated victims into installing the app under promises of financial reward and legal protection. Evidence suggesting involvement by active police officers further confirmed that Connect-In was part of a systemic criminal network rather than an isolated operation.
The scandal deepened further with implications of ministerial connections behind Park Je-yeol’s rapid career advancement. As the conspiracy expanded beyond prosecutors and police into the highest levels of government authority, the scale of the corruption suggested a structural crisis within the power system itself.
With the revelation of Green Hood, the emergence of political protection networks, and the unwavering resolve of the three lawyers, ‘Honor: Their Courtroom’ continues to evolve into a full-scale thriller dissecting the anatomy of institutional power and corruption.
