Trigger – K-Drama Episode 9 Recap & Review
Episode 9 of Trigger starts where we left off with Hyun-sik confronting the scammers. One of them manages to escape from the karaoke room with a gunshot to the leg, and Hyun-sik follows him. He leads Hyun-sik outside, where Reporter Wang is ready to shoot a live video of the confrontation. The police arrive, and Lee Do asks them not to shoot but to give him time to convince Hyun-sik.
Hyun-sik is overcome with grief and thinks back to when he stopped Lee Do from killing the man responsible for killing his family. Lee Do reminds Hyun-sik of what he told him. He begged Lee Do not to shoot and to think about his future. Similarly, Lee Do convinces Hyun-sik that he still needs him and manages to calm him down.
Moon-baek watches everything from his car. When Hyun-sik fails to shoot, Moon-baek does not get the outcome he wants. Therefore, Moon-baek storms the scene with his men, shooting the police officers, Hyun-sik, and Lee Do.
He then calls down Reporter Wang and speaks directly to the citizens. Moon-baek promises to give guns in the country, whether to locals or foreigners, for free and without strings attached. After the incident, Lee Do is rushed to the hospital in a critical condition.
Moon-baek starts a countrywide supply of guns. Everyone, including influencers, started sharing videos of unboxing guns and testing them. A woman storms a courtroom where a suspect is about to be sentenced to three years for something he did that affected the woman.
The woman objects to the ruling, pulls a gun and shoots the suspect. On the subway, passengers are no longer afraid when a seller pulls out a gun, but they are all eager to purchase one. In another household, a father arrives home for his daughter's birthday and sees her playing with a gun.
As a result, the president decides to declare a state of emergency. The citizens start holding rallies on gun legalisation, with one group in support and the other strictly opposed. The country plunges into chaos, all the shipments of Moon-baek's guns are delivered successfully, and he tells his men to prepare for the next step in his master plan.
The nurse, being bullied by colleagues, still works diligently to take care of the patients. One of her bullies hands her a paper stuck with forms. She has to get all the forms done by the end of the night since they need them for the evaluation next week. The nurse has to work tonight, which she has to tell her bully.
However, the bully insists that the forms given are easy and can be finished quickly. If the nurse cannot finish them, it just shows that she is too stupid. The nurse agrees to handle the forms. Back in her locker room, the nurse takes out a package with a gun inside.
Elsewhere, Moon-baek gathers the gang leaders for a meeting. He hands them a gun and says that whoever takes it and shoots him will become his partner. One of them picks up the gun and shoots. Moon-baek's men kill all the other gang leaders, leaving only the one with the gun alive. Moon-baek gives the man a phone and tells him to make sure that he picks up his calls.
At the hospital, Lee Do regains consciousness. He immediately starts looking for Hyun-sik, only to learn that Hyun-sik is dead. At the end of Trigger Episode 9, he attends Hyun-sik and his daughter's funeral.
The Episode Review
Trigger Episode 9 tugged at our hearts and made Lee Do experience loss all over again. Lee Do lost his family to gun violence when he was a child, but the experience gave him a secondary family. In this penultimate episode, he now loses his second family in the same way, amplifying his anger and resentment.
By the end of the episode, Moon-baek has the upper hand while Lee Do yearns for revenge. The country is in chaos, and Lee Do's moral ground will be shaken in the final episode. Will he prioritise getting justice for his family or retrieving the guns from the people? What is Moon-baek's final plan?

Controversial country star jumps into crowd during expletive-filled tirade at Nickelback sound guy
Controversial country crooner Gavin Adcock jumped into the crowd gathered at Rock the Country in Anderson, SC last Saturday during his concert to angrily confront the 'sound guy' for headliner, Nickelback. The unnamed crew member had allegedly given the hot-tempered 26-year-old's father Joe Adcock a 'hard time' and tried to get him 'kicked out' as he watched the show alongside other relatives. 'Hey, let me tell you something real quick,' Gavin said in a TikTok video captured by user @ 'Hey buddy, you're gonna lose your god**** job you stupid a** bum, you better f*** off back there.' Adcock climbed back onstage and continued his expletive-filled tirade. 'That was my daddy right there, and that f***ing stupid f***er in the backwards hat right there was giving him a hard time,' the If I Can't Have You singer raged. The unnamed crew member had allegedly given the hot-tempered 26-year-old's father Joe Adcock (L, pictured November 28) a 'hard time' and tried to get him 'kicked out' as he watched the show alongside other relatives 'So f*** you, f***er. When I get done with this set I'm gonna come out there and give you a piece of my mind, you piece of s***.' Gavin later added: 'Get his f***ing name, I will f***ing kick his a**.' The next day, Adcock shared more details about the incident about the man he called 'dips*** of the week' with his captive, combined 2.1M social media following. 'There was a drink sitting on the soundboard. It wasn't my dad's, it was my acoustic guitar player's mom's,' the Morgan Wallen opening act explained. 'Sound dude comes around the corner, sees the drink, slings it off the soundboard - it's empty by the way - and goes to cussing out my acoustic guitar player's mom. So my dad hears it probably about 5-10 yards away, steps over, gets in the dude's face.' Once the sound guy was confronted by Gavin's father, he attempted to have security escort him out. 'I see them, and they are about to grab my dad,' Adcock recalled. 'And I just run down the alley and tell them, "Nah, you ain't kicking [my dad] out, [the sound guy is] the one causing problems." So security got him, took him on his way.' The Morning Bail singer concluded: 'I got you kicked out. The police [dragged] you out on top of your head, you bum. Congratulations, dude, Nickelback's sound guy's a real winner.' The incident came a month after Gavin went on a foul-mouthed rant onstage about Beyoncé and her Cowboy Carter era: 'You can tell her we're coming for her f***in' a**! That s*** ain't country music and it ain't ever been country music and it ain't gonna be country music.' The incident came a month after Gavin went on a foul-mouthed rant onstage about Beyoncé (pictured July 4) and her Cowboy Carter era: 'You can tell her we're coming for her f***in' a**! That s*** ain't country music and it ain't ever been country music' And it wasn't the Georgia native's first brush with the law as he tweeted about a prior arrest in 2023: 'Went to jail one time because of a suspended license, sat in there for 10 hours and made friends with my cell mates' On May 21, Adock was arrested by the Tennessee Highway Patrol for violating the open container of alcohol law and reckless driving, leading him to spend the night in Oconee County Jail. And it wasn't the Georgia native's first brush with the law as he tweeted about a prior arrest in 2023: 'Went to jail one time because of a suspended license, sat in there for 10 hours and made friends with my cell mates.' Gavin - who gets 5.4M monthly listeners on Spotify - is next scheduled to bring his 34-date Need To Tour to WE Fest in Detroit Lakes, MN on August 8. On August 10, Adcock will throw a lake day listening party at Two Foot Cove on Old Hickory Lake in Juliet, TN for his 24-track third studio album Own Worst Enemy, which drops on August 15. The Unlucky Strikes singer is famed for his rowdy, whiskey-soaked shows where he flagrantly drinks booze onstage and climbs into the crowd to sing in the pit. Gavin grew up working on his family's cattle farm and he graduated from the Georgia Southern University where he played football. One the personal front, Adcock has been dating fellow Georgia native, Haley Larkin, who's a social media influencer.

Moment road rage row erupts as driver says ‘I didn't hit your car, f***ing prove it'… before he shows ‘matching' scratch
THIS is the moment a road rage row erupts after a furious motorist denies hitting a car in an alleged crash. The other driver insisted there was matching scratches on both cars in a heated confrontation as shocked residents watched on. 4 4 4 The incident took place on a residential road in the seaside town of Worthing, West Sussex on Friday. Footage shows a seething driver of a grey Nissan denying he was involved in an accident. He can be heard shouting: "I didn't hit your f***ing car, prove it." The man repeatedly claims the damage is the "wrong side" before approaching the other driver screaming "call the f***ing police then." James, the owner of the black BMW, proceeds to claim that the damage on his motor matches with the mark left on the Nissan. He points toward the black paint on the Nissan arguing: "That's consistent with the damage on my car". Shocked locals watched as both drivers started shouting at each other in the middle of the road. The footage then switches to James alleging that "this gentleman here has just threatened to kill me". The driver of the Nissan then goads James, continuing to deny that any damage had been caused. His wife can be seen in the passenger saying she's on the phone to the police. The Nissan driver continues to argue that James cut him up before pointing and shouting "That's your f***ing problem". James argues he wasn't at fault replying: "It's not a problem mate, it happens." He claims the other driver left the scene of an accident which is why he followed him. "He came right up in my face and was punching his fist into his hand, then goading me trying to get me to hit him," James told the Mail. "I stood calmly and said I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction - from the word go his was lit, so aggressive." James added that when he asked the driver for his insurance details, he refused saying "I don't see why I should". More people started to appear on the street to see what happened before the "aggressor" left the scene. James claims he notified the police online but they said they weren't going to attend because nobody was injured. "I posted a link of the video on the Nextdoor app to see if anyone local knew of him and a woman called Caroline mentioned she had run in with him previously," James added. The Sun has contacted Sussex Police for comment.

Trigger – K-Drama Episode 4 Recap & Review
Kyung-sook Episode 4 of Trigger starts where we left off at the police station, where Lee Do is forced to shoot Won-seong to save the police officers. The reporter who took a video hands it over to his superiors, who are impressed by the exclusive scoop and ask him to keep following up on the case. Elsewhere, Gyu-jin watches the shooting case on the news, which gives him the idea of buying a gun. He makes a quick internet search, and the first website that pops up claims to be giving out free guns. After the incident, Lee Do is held in the interrogation room for questioning by the disciplinary committee. They bring up his time in the military and how he has taken out 99 targets, insinuating that he decided to kill Won-seong to add to his list, making it 100 targets. Suddenly, Chief Yoon enters the interrogation room and stops the enquiry. He orders Lee Do to follow him, claiming that he saved the police officers — something the disciplinary committee is unaware of. He calls the committee cowards and asks them to arrest him first if they are looking for a scapegoat. Chief Yoon asks Lee Do to go home and rest. Many reporters are waiting outside the police station, so Hyun-sik leads him out and drives him home. At school, Yeong-dung is forced by the bullies to attack his friend Gyu-jin. Yeong-dung finds him studying at his desk and punches him. He then orders Gyu-jin to bring his mother's ID to school. Following the incident, Lee Do is suspended for three months. Before leaving the station, he asks Officer Jang a follow-up on U-tae, but another officer stops him since he is suspended. Hyun-sik comes to his rescue and, under the pretence of needing the information, they update Lee Do that U-tae was rescued. The number plate of the van is the same as the one Lee Do had run into when delinquents were going through delivery boxes. Lee Do learns that U-tae was recently released from prison and was doing odd jobs for Glory Gang leader Seok-ho. He tries calling Seok-ho, but he does not answer. Lee Do gets his whereabouts from Detective Seo and visits him. Lee Do wants to know if Seok-ho is dealing guns, but he proves that all his boys only use knives, and none of them have been out with guns. Lee Do tells Seok-ho that he is gathering evidence about the case, and he warns that he will not spare Seok-ho if he finds out that he was involved in the case. Later, Lee Do heads to Dongwol Industry to ask about Moon-baek. His card shows that he is a technical sales manager at the company. However, the company is a defence contractor and is not authorised to give any information about its employees. Lee Do gets a call from Officer Jang with Moon-baek's home address. He heads to the apartments and gives Moon-baek a call, asking to meet. At the same time, Jung-man and his boys get more information about the guns from Mr. Kim. It turns out that Jung-man decided to keep him alive and lied to Seok-ho. Mr Kim tells them how the guns are delivered as parcels. He thinks it is a genius idea since Koreans have a high respect for other people's parcels. Mr. Kim says that he was approached to distribute the guns. The people in charge had a truckload of guns, but Mr. Kim was given half. He has no way of contacting them since they only reached out via telegram, and Seok-ho took his phone. The guns are still locked in the storage room, and Seok-ho has not found them either. For now, their only option is to collect guns from the people on the address list. Jung-man sends out his boys to collect all the guns. Elsewhere, Ms. Kyung-sook continues her solo protest outside the company she believes is responsible for her son's death. The CEO continues to ignore her as he drives past the gates. Meanwhile, the bullies continue to threaten Gyu-jin, demanding that he give them his mother's ID. Later that night, Gyu-jin receives a package and inside is a gun. Lee Do meets up with Moon-baek and asks for more information about the gun and bullets. Moon-baek says that he wanted the gun to kill himself. Moon-baek has cancer, and the doctors say he only has six months left to live or less. He shows Lee Do the scars, indicating that he has had three surgeries. About how he got the bullets, he says that he looked online and saw a site offering free guns and clicked to get one. After receiving his parcel, the site disappeared. As for the list of addresses, Moon-baek says he threw it away but can remember the addresses by heart. Lee Do asks him to write down the addresses, and one of them belongs to Ms. Kyung-sook. Upon seeing Kyung-sook's name, Lee Do rushes out, and Moon-baek follows. On the way, he tries to call Kyung-sook but gets no answer. At this time, she confronts the CEO, who has been ignoring her since her son's death. The CEO is still arrogant and orders his driver to run over her. However, when she pulls out the gun, the driver runs away, and the CEO starts begging for his life. Kyung-sook shoots the CEO, then answers Lee Do's call. She tells him that she shot the CEO and knows she has to answer for her actions. She asks Lee Do to let her make one last meal for her son. Kyung-sook heads home and waits for Lee Do to arrive. Unfortunately, U-tae and the boys arrive at the house first. They force their way into the house and ask Kyung-sook to hand over the gun. When Lee Do arrives, he sees a car with similar number plates parked outside her house. He asks Moon-baek to keep an eye on the car as he heads into the house. U-tae is arrogant at first because he is holding the gun, but Lee Do easily snatches the gun from him. The boys try to fight, but they are no match for him. Outside, Moon-baek finds the events happening around Lee Do exciting, so he helps him by subduing the boys left in the car. At the end of Trigger Episode 4, Lee Do and Moon-baek rush Kyung-sook to the hospital. She was hurt during the confrontation with U-tae and the boys. The Episode Review The availability of guns affecting a person close to Lee Do adds an emotional curve to the story. It is now personal, and Lee Do will come after the gang. It also foreshadows the next conflict, which may arise from a high school student, Gyu-jin. While the bullies continue to suffocate him with physical abuse and online bullying, Gyu-jin stumbled upon the website and received a gun. It seems like all the people that the civilians target end up dead. Will Gyu-jin kill Seong-jun and the other bullies? What will happen to his friend Yeong-dung? Will Lee be able to stop any of the civilians from killing their targets? Who are the people circulating the guns, and what is their agenda? More questions continue to arise with the mystery compelling us to keep watching. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
