Harper was gearing up for her first day of social work in Seoul, and Bae, Kim & Park LLC (BKL), serving as her legal representative, will be helping her with the information on which community services she needed to do and help. The law firm will help her to make sure she will finish all the 450 hours of community service the court has put on her as a punishment.
Truthfully, she didn't have to undertake these community service hours. Yong Min had already assured her that a simple fine would suffice, given that she was a foreign national and this was her first offense. But Harper was firm in her decision; she had requested Yong Min to push for the maximum number of hours to be assigned to her.
"Just tell the judge that this is part of how I want to pay for what I've done," she had insisted, her voice steady. "I want to show respect for the law here in South Korea, and I don't want to risk getting my visa banned."
