'Flex X Cop' Episode 1

In the show's pilot episode, Jin Yin Soo, the third-generation chaebol and the youngest son of the Hansu Group chairman, is living a lax life.
After veering away from the responsibilities of his role as the company's manager, he is more focused on doing role-play survival games.
However, one incident changed his life forever.
As someone born in a wealthy family, Jin Yin Soo neglects his priorities and lives without purpose. This attitude of his also disappoints his brother and especially his father, who thinks that Jin Yin Soo put their name in shame.
In "Flex X Cop" episode 1, the third-generation chaebol left the club after wanting to check on his best friend Hyung Hwan, who was intoxicated.
In the middle of his conversation with him, Jin Yin Soo received a call from his older brother, who reminded him of the big presentation that he needed to attend.
However, he mentioned that his friend needed help.
Lo and behold, he found Hyung Hwan being attacked by a killer.
Jin Yin Soo beat him, but investigator Lee Kang Hyun saw him and arrested Jin Yin Soo. One of the charges that he had to face was pretending to be a cop after she found a fake badge.
During the investigation, Lee Kang Hyun said that she has no intention to be lenient towards him, especially since he knew that he could get away from this because of his status.
However, despite him telling the truth, investigator Lee believed that he was the suspect. The police force was shaken after they found out that Jin Yin Soo was innocent and was protecting his friend.
After the news broke that the son of the Hansu group was arrested, his brother fixed his image by making him an undercover agent and helping him enter the police force.
This was also one way of clearing the police's name since they detained Jin Yin Soo despite his innocence.
