Why does Moon-goo out Bae-man to No Hwa-young in Military Prosecutor Doberman?

Bae-man is a man who is looking to climb the social ladder. After witnessing the death of his parents, both of whom served in the army, something in Bae-man has been broken in Military Prosecutor Doberman. He has continued to concentrate on nothing but making money and attaining clout.

His collaboration with Moon-goo is also an effort towards his goal. So when Dae-man hears from Moon-goo's boss No Tae-nam, he is ecstatic. If he completes the mission handed over to him by No Hwa-young's son, he can be assured of certain perks for the rest of his life.

Tae-nam wants to avoid enlisting in the army because he is scared of his mother, Hwa-young, who serves as the latest Chief of Defense in the country. He is sure of being controlled, bullied, and much worse if he so much as steps outside the line under his mother's watchful eyes.

So he asks Bae-man to set it up, making it seem as if he is incapable of serving in the army. Bae-man agrees to this test despite Moon-goo's disagreement in Military Prosecutor Doberman.

He realizes that only after she orchestrates an accident of which he is the victim. She wants him to work by her side, and she seems capable of anything at the moment.

The question now is if Woo-in can convince Bae-man to support her and bring Hwa-young down. This will be explored in future episodes of Military Prosecutor Doberman.
