Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 182

182. Crossed the Line (2)

May 1, 2022

“It seems like it will be a good example. If we proceed this way, it will be clear that they are ‘not’ doing it, rather than ‘can’t’ do it.”

“Will it proceed immediately?”

“Let’s see… If it’s connected to Cheongwang [likely a powerful organization or individual with significant influence], it’s definitely possible. They are much better at gathering information than we are, so we just have to fill in the blanks and send the documents. There’s nothing difficult about it. After that, it’s our turn to step in, haha.”

The law firm representative mentioned Cheongwang.

Woo Do-gyeom also readily agreed to pay the price to Yeon-woo.

-Let me finish what I started. I hope I can repay my debt.

I heard that the subsequent cooperation was directly with the law firm.

It probably wasn’t a legal route.

However, the representative seemed unfazed, even knowing how Cheongwang would be involved.

It seems that a representative of a law firm gets used to some illegal activities.

“It may be bad for Kang Yeon-woo, but personally, I’m quite pleased with this, haha.”

[That’s definitely because of money. 100% because of money. Look at his face. He’s obsessed with wealth.]

“Of course, it’s not just because of the retainer and fees.”

[Don’t deny it! That Woo guy must have poured a lot in. He’s definitely taking a huge cut!]

“Our law firm has handled similar cases from time to time, but… the ending is usually not pleasant. Apart from the money, I feel sorry. Of course, there are those who take a strong stance, but they are very few. A significant number of people end up giving up. Because they are celebrities.”

[……Well, for someone who looks greedy, he has a clear head!]

All sorts of rumors about celebrities are very diverse.

Some may be true, but most are just rumors without clear evidence.

The reason why malicious rumors are created is, in a way, very trivial.

Considering the malice that can drive a person to death.

“That’s how it is with a job that consumes image. When you look at it, there’s no real reason. They’re just jealous of their success, something like that. It’s not a big deal, is it?”

The lawyer shrugged.

“Once, we caught a commenter who continuously left malicious comments for almost five years. They left malicious comments whenever an article came out, and posted strange rumors as if they were true three or four times a week. Oh my. There was a very dedicated commenter who wouldn’t do that even if someone paid them to do so.”

[……This old man knows how to tell a story? Why is he suddenly making people curious like this?]

Clearly, they are not communicating.

But strangely, it looks like they are having a conversation?

The combination of a middle-aged man with a gentle smile but sharp eyes and a chirping sparrow was quite unbalanced yet surprisingly harmonious.

‘Seeing that he doesn’t even blink an eye even though a sparrow in the room is chirping at him, that person is not normal either.’

Well.

But such a person was needed now.

“So, I was so curious that I asked him why he was doing such a dedicated job of leaving malicious comments. Do you know what he said?”

“What did he say?”

“Well, he said there was no reason.”

“……?”

“He said he felt relieved when he left comments. Then it became a habit, and it became a hobby. It’s a very absurd reason, isn’t it?”

“Are there really people like that?”

“Yes. There are many. When they write a letter of apology asking for leniency to reach an agreement, that phrase is always included. I just tried it once. I did it because I was bored. I did it as a joke……”

“…….”

Just for that reason?

It’s hard to believe.

However, that’s what an expert who has seen such cases dozens, hundreds of times says.

“The person who is the target wants to die. Right? It’s just one word, one post for them, but when they gather, they become hundreds, millions.”

[Yeah. Yeah. That’s right. This guy knows what’s up.]

“It’s fortunate that lawsuits have become established. In the past, you just had to endure it.”

“……Is it because they are public figures?”

“That’s right. That’s exactly it. The job of a celebrity is like that. In the past, they would say, ‘You live off people’s attention, how can you not stand a few words?’ and act rudely. Fortunately, now everyone knows the dangers of malicious commenters, and celebrities are free to sue, so it’s a relief.”

One word, one word.

Yeon-woo knew better than anyone how much heavy pressure they could create.

Isn’t there a saying that words have power?

“I hope that this incident will change perceptions once again. I think it will. Changes in perception start from very small things.”

The lawyer smiled as if the story so far was for this very word.

The lawyer packed up and got up.

After the guest left, the child spirit settled down in the remaining seat and asked.

[But are you really only going to proceed that far?]

“Why? Is it not good?”

[It’s not that it’s not good. It’s a shame. You should catch all the people who cursed at you and make them eat prison food…….]

“I can’t make them eat prison food? Well, maybe a fine……”

[That’s what I mean! Really! Aren’t you sad? You’re also wronged.]

“Not really.”

The only regret is this.

It’s just that I should have done this sooner.

This time, which is short if it is short, and long if it is long.

‘The problem was that I only thought about myself.’

The moment you react.

Yeon-woo already knew from his past experience that they would chew, tear, and chew even more excitedly.

Because one of the cruelties of human beings was that the more they reacted, the more fun they had.

‘I thought it would be resolved over time.’

Anyway, he was innocent.

It was neither plagiarism as the world was talking about, nor was it trampling on rising rookie YouTubers.

‘Well, if it becomes noise marketing, that’s good too.’

There was definitely a time when I thought so.

The problem was that Yeon-woo had overlooked something.

It was the existence of fans.

It was a mistake that happened because he had never had anyone on his side.

Yeon-woo couldn’t even imagine that someone would take the damage and stand up for him like this.

When I first learned that fact.

Yeon-woo felt a fresh shock and anger at the same time.

‘I decided to do it properly, but I’m still far away, Kang Yeon-woo.’

It’s pathetic.

There’s no need to be so pathetic.

In a world where ignorance is a sin, Yeon-woo blamed himself for being so ignorant.

[Does it burn inside?]

“Are you teasing me?”

[It’s not time to do vocal training.]

“I admit that.”

It hurts inside, but I have to admit what I have to admit.

It is true that his wrong judgment made things that could have been prevented in advance even bigger.

[I wish you could fix the guys who revealed the past……. Yeon-woo, you don’t have any intention of doing that, do you?]

“Well. It wasn’t completely wrong, was it?”

[It wasn’t all true! Ugh. If you don’t do it, I’ll do it! Connect me with that fierce human when he comes. I’ll take care of the rest!]

I don’t know what he’s going to take care of, but Yeon-woo quietly sent a silent prayer to those who were targeted.

The grudge of an old ghost will never be light.

[You said you’re going to write a statement, right?]

“I have to.”

[You should have written it sooner. Why did you refuse not to do it?]

“You’re right.”

The sparrow clicked his tongue as he smiled bitterly.

It was a strange thing even though it would be impossible in terms of oral structure.

[But it’s a relief that you came to your senses even now. Ah. Should I tell you one good thing?]

“……?”

[In the meantime, the hommas [dedicated fans who take photos of celebrities] who believe in you are still holding on.]

It’s a word I’ve heard somewhere.

I heard that it is a fan who takes pictures using a camera?

I also heard that the more hommas there are, the more it is connected to the scale of popularity.

[Ah. There is one closed gun [a term referring to a fan group or individual ceasing their activities]. But here is originally famous as a place that approached with money. It’s the first time I’ve seen a homma close and wave goodbye so hard with one heart and one mind.]

The sparrow, who came close to Bbojak Bbojak, manipulated the tablet PC with his beak.

On the famous SNS with the impressive blue bird, there were words of support for Yeon-woo.

[I’ll show you something amazing. Look at this]

#KangYeonwooisinnocent_IbelieveinourYeonwoo

#IbelieveinYeonwoo

#AlwayssupportourYeonwoo

The sight of so many people posting the same hashtag was quite spectacular.

It wasn’t something someone ordered them to do.

It was even more surprising that they voluntarily attached it as they believed.

[Yesterday and the day before yesterday, it was also on the real-time trend at night. Yesterday, the actor, cough. Ahem.]

I think I heard something strange.

The child spirit quickly changed the subject.

[They’re going to put in support to cheer you up. I heard that three websites have teamed up.]

“…….”

I’m curious at this point.

‘Where does he know all this from?’

Most powerful ghosts who have wandered in the secular world for a long time are positive about modernization.

Still.

Isn’t he a little too much?

Whether Yeon-woo thought so or not.

The sparrow chirped in a commanding tone.

[Upload some pictures.]

“Pictures? Why suddenly pictures.”

[Originally, if you’re grateful, you pay with pictures. If you’re more grateful, you turn on the X app [referring to a more intimate or revealing form of content]. But if you turn on the X app wrong now, you can get hit even harder, so just upload the pictures quietly.]

The sparrow said solemnly.

[Upload something that came out well, not something that came out strangely. Got it?]

“Wait. Then I’ll contact Park writer…….”

[Ah, no! Not something like that! Selfie! Don’t you know selfie?]

“I haven’t taken it.”

[……That’s right. You were that kind of kid. I forgot for a moment because you showed enthusiasm these days.]

Yeon-woo took out his cell phone in front of the child spirit.

[You have to take it well. Selfie is…….]

The child spirit, who was about to give a hard lecture on the subject of ghosts,

Click!

[No. You haven’t taken a selfie! If you take it wrong, it will have the opposite effect…… or not?]

He had to lose his words after seeing the results Yeon-woo took.

“Is that how you take it and upload it?”

[……Isn’t this your first selfie? Did you secretly take it without me knowing?!]

“No?”

[But how can you get a shot of your life, not a humiliating shot, on the first shot?!]

“Because the camera is a camera.”

The ability to compose the screen, which is the most basic of photography.

The A-grade ability frame composition showed its effectiveness even in self-portraits.

The meeting with the law firm is over.

I took a picture too.

Now there was only one thing left.

Scribble! Scribble!

Yeon-woo’s hand began to move on the white paper.

That night.

One post was quietly posted on the official fan page.

It was the beginning of a revenge that would cause a small but big ripple.

*

[Did you see the notice board post?]

-Yeonwoo left a post on the official homepage ㅠㅠ Everyone who hasn’t seen it, go and see it. He even wrote it in his own handwriting……ㅠㅠ

He said he was sorry for making you suffer so much because of him, and he was really sorry for hurting you.

And don’t worry.

He said he didn’t plagiarize at all, and he didn’t think he needed to respond because he didn’t do anything wrong.

He apologized here for his short thoughts.

In fact, some people were worried because there was no word from him ㅠㅠ

I feel so sorry for Yeonwoo from my position, which was a little uneasy ㅠㅠㅠ

I’m going to believe in Yeonwoo without shaking now!

Yeonwoo is thinking about legal action, so let’s report it hard too.

Yeonwoo warned us not to attack us ㅠㅠㅠ

No, Yeonwoo ㅠㅠㅠ We’ll protect you, so you just walk on the flower path [a Korean expression meaning to have a future filled with happiness and success] ㅠㅠㅠ

It is said that PDF capture reports are received on this report board, so be sure to report it every time you see it!

Thank you for believing in me, and let’s do our best to repay this trust!!

Our existence fighting!!!

ps. Our Yeonwoo uploaded a selfie for the first time ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
