ENA's "Baek Jongwon's Les Miserables," which will premiere on the 30th, is a short but powerful drama.
This is a big story that will feature 20 challengers who will carry out and overcome strict Spartan-style missions to grab the first and final chance to turn their lives around.

On the 7th, the second teaser of "Baek Jongwon's Les Miserables" was released. The teaser video shows the 20 contestants who suffered the setbacks of failure.
The video shows the participants diving into a Spartan-style mission in a remodeled abandoned factory with a strong feeling of desperation. However, the video only briefly introduces the 20 challengers.
The phrase "juvenile thief with a grade 9 punishment" appears. Along with this, an audio recording of a cast member saying, "A devil who received grade 9 punishment, like human garbage," was released.
This caused controversy among netizens, who pointed out, "Why is a criminal with a criminal record being named?" Discipline 9 is the second strongest punishment among Disciplines 1-10 given to juvenile offenders.
In the short term, a person may be sent to a juvenile detention center for a maximum of six months. Generally, the 9th category is considered when a person commits a repeat offense after receiving a 6th or 8th category, or when a person commits a serious crime, regardless of whether or not he or she is under family protection.
In response, netizens have expressed their dissatisfaction with the crimes, asking questions such as, "Why should criminal perpetrators be given a chance to rehabilitate themselves?", "Why is it that those who receive the No. 9 punishment are those who have suffered failure and disappointment?", and "Why is it that the victims are being treated so poorly?"
Doesn't this mean they don't think about that?" he said angrily, adding, "I can't sympathise with a programme that leaves people who really need help behind and brings in an ex-offender."
However, since the exact details of the No. 9 punishment have not yet been made public, some people are hoping to find out more details through the program.
In this way, even before the first broadcast of "Les Miserables" there was a lot of controversy surrounding the cast, and the public opinion has deteriorated.
Attention is focused on how this will turn out.
