| 0:00.0 | Hey, all. |
| 0:01.0 | I'm sure you've been following the dramatic news about Do-Kwon. |
| 0:04.4 | The recent arrest warrant, a South Korean court released, the revelation that he is not |
| 0:08.6 | in Singapore, which until recently was the place he called home, and finally just before |
| 0:13.4 | the publication of this episode, Interpol's issuance of a red notice to arrest Do-Kwon, |
