The teachers have orchestrated the ultimate scam under the guise of an elite allexpensespaid reward trip.The students believe they are flying out from Jeju International Airport to Incheon International Airport, where they will catch a connecting flight Shanghai China for a prestigious global leadership summit and tech internship.Because it is an international flight out of Incheon,the students have packed heavy luggage filled with winter gear,formal clothes, laptops,and personal keepsakes.The Literal Debt: Institutional Bankruptcy (Principal Kang)The Reason: Aether Academy appears elite, but behind closed doors, it is completely bankrupt. Principal Kang embezzled millions of dollars from the school’s endowment fund to cover his own severe gambling debts with an international underground syndicate.The Stakes: The syndicate threatened to kill his entire family if he didn't pay them back by the end of the school term. When he couldn't get the money, the syndicate offered him an alternative: "Bring us a full class of young, healthy, high-potential human assets, and your debt is erased."The Logic: To Kang, it is a simple math equation: the lives of 35 random teenagers to save the lives of his own flesh and bloodThe Psychological Twisted Motive: Class Envy and Malice(Mr. Park)The Reason: Mr. Park is a brilliant physicist who has spent 15 years working at this elite school for a miserable, stagnant salary.He comes from a background of severe poverty and despises the students.The Stakes He watches these wealthy, spoiled teenagers complain about minor things while carrying laptops that cost more than his monthly paycheck. He has developed a deep, quiet, psychopathic resentment toward them.The Logic When Principal Kang approached him to handle the logistics of the luxury bus trap,Mr. Park didn't even hesitate.He isn't just doing it for the millions of dollars he will receive; he genuinely derives a sick pleasure from the idea of stripping these entitled, privileged kids of their bright futures and turning them into empty, compliant husks4.The "Perfect Crime" of the Jeju-to-Incheon RouteThe Reason: They chose this specific school trip because it provides the perfect cover story for a mass disappearance.The Logic: Jeju is an island. By convincing the parents and the school board that the kids boarded a flight from Jeju to Incheon, the teachers create a massive logistical smoke screen. When the students never arrive at Incheon Airport, the police will waste days investigating airline data, flight manifests, and airport security in two different cities.By the time anyone realizes the luxury bus never actually drove to the Jeju airport and instead headed to a dark,private shipping dock,the teachers will already be on a private jet to a non-extradition country with their money*
