One High School Heroes – K-drama Episode 4 Recap & Review
Hero Mask Episode 4 of One High School Heroes starts where we left off after Seung-sik strangles Ui-Geum until he is unconscious. Seung-ki gets ready to fight the second victim, Yoon-ki, but suddenly Ui-Geum regains consciousness. He warns Seung-ki that if he strangles him again, he will kill him. The second round of their fight starts, and this time Ui-Geum subdues Seung-sik. Seeing that Seung-sik is about to lose, his friend and fellow gang leader Sung-wook wants to step in, but Yoon-ki stops him. Yoon-ki tells Ui-Geum that since Ji-hyuk, there were two people left to beat, so the fighting can stop. He says that he will take care of the second person. Yoon-ki is a skilled fighter in hiding. Sung-wook barely lands punches on him while Yoon-ki shows his superior skills. He ends the fight with a round kick called 'fans' benefits.' Seung-ki had paused the battle with Ui-Geum to watch Sung-wook and Yoon-ki's fight. Once it is done, he returns to the ground, saying he will break both their hands to warn anyone who tries to fight against them in the future. However, Ui-Geum is not easy to beat. He does not let Seung-ki get the upper hand and finishes the fight by copying Yoon-ki's fan benefits round kick. The onlookers are baffled. Ui-Geum then chokes Seung-ki until he is unconscious, reminding him that he had warned that if he put his hands on his neck again, he would kill him. Ui-Geum and Yoon-ki leave the band room with the warning that the rogue gang is not allowed to conduct their rogue activities at the school ever again. Elsewhere, Ui-Geum's mother visits a psychiatrist about her panic attacks. She wants to stop getting the panic attacks, so she begs the doctor to help. The doctor tells her to face the emotions she has been avoiding. At home, Da-bin gets the courage to go into Soo-kyum's room without having a panic attack. At cram school, Ui-Geum loses concentration as his mind wanders to the fight with Seung-ki. The teacher scolds him and does the same thing his father does, pushing his head back with a finger. Ui-Geum stops the teacher who asks him to leave the classroom if he does not want to learn. Ui-Geum chooses to go. At home, his father scolds him more and orders that they will make an apology to the teacher at the cram school the next day. Ui-Geum reluctantly agrees. Later, Ui-Geum meets up with Yoon-ki. He wants Ui-Geum to join him in a fight against the school bullies, and his next target is from Ui-Geum's former school. Kim Nam-yeop tortures students at the school, but his crimes are easily covered up because his father is a professor at a medical university. Yoon-ki wants Ui-Geum to join him in bringing education back to its roots by dealing with the school bullies. A student comes to thank Ui-Geum, saying he has no longer been bullied since dealing with Hong-II. Yoon-ki thinks he should not thank Ui-Geum since he was not doing that out of the goodness of his heart. He was only looking for an avenue to let out the pressure he was getting from his father, since he could not stand up to him. Later, Ui-Geum's father drags him to a party for potential candidates of a renowned medical school, where his brother had been admitted. He meets Nam-yeop, seated at the centre table with his father and the school dean, among other respectable people. While Ui-Geum's father openly admires Nam-yeop for his outstanding abilities in academics and sports, Ui-Geum only thinks about the video they saw of him bullying a disabled kid at school. When his father asks him to say hi, Ui-Geum asks about Wu Chengfan. He says that Nam-yeop is not one of those people who invent things to help people with disabilities, but he bullies them. Nam-yeop's father tries to say it is all rumours, but Ui-Geum insists, saying there are videos. Seok-tae takes Ui-Geum away from the table. Ui-Geum stand up to his father and says he does not want to be like his brother. His mother opens up to the psychiatrist about what happens with Soo-Kyum. It turns out that he committed suicide in his room a month after he was admitted to medical school. Da-bin blames herself. She thinks she saw the signs but ignored them and wishes she had heard her son's cry for help. After leaving the party, Ui-Gyeom walks to Yoon-ki's house in the rain. He agrees to catch Nam-yeop together. Nam-yeop continues to bully students as usual. At the end of the episode, Yoon-ki and Ui-Gyeom go looking for Nam-yeop wearing brown shorts, hoodies, and red face masks. The Episode Review In this episode, Ui-Gyeom and his mother confront the trauma of Soo-kyum's suicide. Da-bin talks to a psychiatrist and tells them what happened to Soo-kyum. She blames herself, which explains her worries whenever Seok-tae pushes Ui-Gyeom too hard. Also, Ui-Gyeom stands up to his father. True to our deduction in the previous episode, Ui-Gyeom gets into fights not solely about confronting bullies but mostly about releasing the pressure of dealing with his father and his high expectations of him. However, at the end of this episode, he decides to do something he wants to with his new friend Yoon-ki. Will the new vigilantes, whose only enemy is school bullies, win in the fight to bring education back to its origin? Unlike other bullies they dealt with at school, Nam-yeop has his father's backing. Do you think they will easily get him to stop bullying other students, or have Yoon-ki and Ui-Geum met their strongest rival yet? Previous Episode Next Episode

One High School Heroes – K-drama Episode 2 Recap & Review
Introducing the Senior Gang of Bullies Episode 2 of One High School Heroes starts where we left off with Ui-Gyeom learning Seung-joon's fighting skills on the spot and landing a punch. His advantage does not last long since Seung-joon is good at punching back. Ui-Gyeom decides to take Yoon-ki's advice. He holds onto Seung-joon, and they roll down a flight of stairs. Seung-joon's knee is hurt, and Ui-Gyeom takes the chance to end the fight by beating up Seung-joon until he cannot stand. Hong-ii and Jin-woo are terrified, and Yoon-ki is even more amazed at Ui-Geum's ability to hold out in a fight. Ui-Gyeom asks Yoon-ki to change clothes after getting a text from his father. Yoon-ki then gives him a cream to hide the bruises on his face. Ui-Gyeom finds his father quarrelling with the tutors at the academy about his exam results. For a moment, he thinks back to fighting against Seung-joon until his mother wakes him up the next morning. During breakfast, Ui-Gyeom is livelier and even asks his mother for more rice. He also promises his father that he will work harder at the academy. At school, Seung-joon, Hong-II, and Jin-woo have to answer their seniors in the bullying ring about why a newbie won in a fight against someone regarded as a first-grade fighter. The leader, Ji-hyuk, orders them to retaliate even if it means smashing a brick onto Ui-Gyeom's head. After school, they wait for Ui-Gyeom, and Seung-joon smashes the back of his head with a wooden stick. UI-Gyeom tries to tell Yoon-ki not to call an ambulance so his parents do not know about the fights. However, Yoon-ki has no choice because Ui-Gyeom becomes unconscious. In a flashback, Ui-Gyeom goes back to when his brother was taken out of their house in a body bag. Ui-Gyeom wakes up in the hospital. He is frantic and wants to leave, but his mother and father arrive and have him return to bed. Yoon-ki lies that Ui-Gyeom tripped down the stairs on their way to the bus stop. His mother and father are worried about him. His father tells him that he cannot get hurt, not even get sick. At the hospital, Ui-Gyeom's mother has a panic attack when he sees a person wheeled into the emergency room, as he thinks back to Soo-Kyum. Seung-joon worries about Ui-Gyeom, so he goes to the hospital to check on him. He runs into Ui-Gyeom's mother as she is having a panic attack and wants to help. Da-bin says she is okay and recognises his uniform. She informs him that Ui-Gyeom is OK, and Seung-joon asks to leave. Da-bin notices Seung-joon's wound on the face. She tells him to apply ointment or it will scar. Da-bin wonders if boys always get hurt. She asks Seung-joon to take care of himself, or as a mother, she will worry. Seung-joon apologises to Da-bin and leaves. After leaving the hospital, Yoon-ki visits another boy in a coma. He tells him that he just met another person like him. Ui-Gyeom's mother tries to get through to him at home so he can share his experiences in the new school. She asks him to stay home and rest the next day, but Ui-Gyeom insists on attending school since he does not want to get left behind. Da-bin thinks Ui-Gyeom resents him and apologises, but Ui-Gyeom says he has to study and goes to his room. The next day at school, Ui-Gyeom asks Seung-joon to stop following him, and he will not pursue the hit on the head. Seung-joon asks him to lay low henceforth and not come at him either. However, Ji-hyuk and his gang do not plan to let Ui-Gyeom go. They burst into their classroom and asked Yoon-ki and Ui-Gyeom to show up on the rooftop during lunch. At the rooftop, Ji-hyuk lectures Ui-Gyeom on being cocky, saying he was too lenient then, and that is why they are acting out. Ui-Gyeom does not fight back and asks Ji-hyuk not to hurt Yoon-ki. Ji-hyuk asks Ui-Gyeom to apologise to Seung-joon and say he will do anything he asks. Yoon-ki silently warns Hong-II to stop harassing Ui-Gyeom, while Ji-hyuk asks Seung-joon to hit Ui-Gyeom. Seung-joon refuses to hit Ui-Gyeom, and Ji-hyuk beats him up instead. Ui-Gyeom cannot take it anymore and stands up for Seung-joon. Yoon-ki had said he is good at noticing fighting talents. A group of seniors is watching the show, so Ui-Gyeom asks him how many people will be left to deal with after he fights Ji-hyuk. Yoon-ki says two people, so there will be no one left to fight after he knocks down the two people. The Episode Review This show just keeps getting more thrilling. This episode got a little more emotional as it gives more backstory on what happened to Ui-Gyeom's brother. His mother still gets panic attacks about the incident. Also, his father is harsh but not as abusive, and he seems to care so much about Ui-Gyeom. The riveting action comes at the end of the episode when Ui-Gyeom confronts the senior bullies. Seung-joon chooses not to beat up Ui-Gyeom when ordered to, which is a sign of defiance. In the following episodes, they might stand together against Ji-hyuk and his gang of bullies. The episode left us with high hopes and yearning for some gripping action. Will Ui-Gyeom hold off against Ji-hyuk, or will he end up on his knees? Let us find out in the next episode.

Old Turkey crash image falsely linked to South Asia conflict
"First photo of Pakistani fighter pilot captured by India," says an X post on May 9, 2025, which features a night time picture of a group of people standing in a field. "He was caught in Lathi near Jaisalmer. He is injured," the post adds, referring to a village in the northwestern Indian city. Around 70 people were killed during four days of intense fighting in May between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan, sparked by a deadly attack on tourists by gunmen in Indian-administered Kashmir. New Delhi blamed Islamabad for the assault, which Pakistan denies (archived link). A May 10 ceasefire ended the intense tit-for-tat drone, missile, aerial combat and artillery exchanges, and both sides have agreed to withdraw their troops back to peacetime positions by the end of the month. Similar claims appeared on X and Instagram, while several Indian news media articles featured the same image. However, there have been no official reports that a Pakistani military pilot was captured in Jaisalmer as of May 22. A reverse image search on Google found the picture published by photo agency Getty Images on December 12, 2016, credited to AFP (archived link). The photo's caption in AFP's archives reads: "Turkish military personnel arrive near a Turkish F16 war plane which crashed in Diyarbakir on December 12, 2016" (archived link). The country's military said the fighter jet crashed near an airport in the south-eastern city of Diyarbakir, but the pilot ejected safely, the caption also states. "The cause of the crash was not immediately known but the government said an investigation had been launched." The incident was also reported by Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency, which said the jet crashed during a training session (archived link). Pakistani media organisation Geo Fact Check debunked similar claims about the photo (archived link). AFP's fact-checks of misinformation triggered by the recent conflict between Pakistan and India can be found here.
