186. The Unveiling Truth (2)

2022.05.05.

“There’s nothing I’d call a plan. I just prepared for it.”

[The world calls that a plan!]

“No, it was too obvious to call it that. Don’t you think?”

Dongja-ryeong looked back at Yeon-woo as if he was dumbfounded, but Yeon-woo was confident.

Thinking about it, it was quite obvious.

The fact that people who were busy stirring up trouble would realize the truth, fall into a mental breakdown, and escape from reality.

Wasn’t that something you could easily predict without thinking too deeply?

“All I did was one thing. I just had a… pious wish that many people would see the notice I posted, you know?”

[Wow… you’re such a conviction criminal…]

“Well, the fact that other sites crashed in that situation, and they couldn’t say anything and were trembling with fear, is not something I specifically ordered.”

Yeon-woo smiled lightly.

“Why did they go around flapping their mouths without knowing the truth? They should know that it all comes back as bad karma.”

[Tsk. Our actor needs to know that you’re this sly… !]

“He knows?”

[Huh? What?]

“Kwon Seong-hyun is the one who manages my fan page server.”

[What?!]

For some reason, Dongja-ryeong seemed shocked.

[So… our actor… knew that you were this foxy and… was overprotecting you like that?]

“Yo, what?”

I think I just heard a very strange word.

[What is our actor’s taste… ?]

The sparrow, lost in self-disgust, staggered.

I don’t know why he’s reacting like that.

It’s not the first or second time Kwon Seong-hyun has been weird…

“Let’s go to the mart. We need to have a party.”

Yeon-woo, wearing a hat and mask, put on glasses.

Finally, he naturally put the sparrow in his front pocket.

Now that he had finished one job, it was time to rest a little.

*

“Haha. My timing was very good. Thanks to you, I’m getting this kind of treatment.”

“The more people at a party, the better.”

Because he had dropped a big bomb, the reality show filming was decided to be off for a day.

However, the production team, who had come to the dorm to inform Yeon-woo of yesterday’s results and discuss them, were caught by Yeon-woo and ended up joining the party.

The same was true for the law firm representative who visited the dorm for similar reasons.

“Eat a lot, everyone. There’s plenty of food.”

“Oh, it’s really delicious. Especially this grilled scallop and clam stew; it’s so melt-in-your-mouth.”

It was going down so smoothly that it was unusual.

It was the perfect taste for a glass of wine.

I knew he was good at cooking while filming the program, but this was really an addictive taste.

Chomp chomp!

It was a little unsettling to see a familiar, plump sparrow in front of the plate.

But that wasn’t enough to stop his chopsticks.

“Are you getting a lot of calls?”

“Haha. It’s beyond a lot. I think it’s almost unprecedented to proceed on such a large scale with similar cases, except for class action lawsuits.”

“Good.”

“Everyone is so meticulous. We don’t even need to ask for additional data. Young people these days are very familiar with collecting evidence. The younger lawyers are shaking their heads in amazement.”

The representative laughed, saying he was surprised at how well-organized everything was.

Then, he suddenly hardened his face and became serious.

“I looked into it a bit, and the level [of malicious comments] is very high. There were a lot of colorful insults and harsh criticisms that I couldn’t even put into words. I think Yeon-woo’s decision was very wise, even after thinking about it again.”

“Oh. That’s right. I also went to see the notice after the program ended yesterday, and I was very surprised when I saw it.”

The writer, who was sitting next to him, chimed in.

“The full cost of the lawsuit, right? I was surprised when I saw that. If you announce that, there will definitely be more than one or two people… Are you really okay?”

The PD [Production Director], who was sitting across from him, also chimed in, his eyes shining with curiosity.

“It doesn’t matter. The more people apply, the better.”

“But the cost will be a burden… .”

“That’s what I earn money for.”

Anyway, there’s no place to spend money even if I have it.

I don’t pay rent.

I don’t pay for living expenses separately either.

Yeon-woo’s life was basically taken care of by the agency.

Usually, they don’t do that much, but Yeon-woo had no way of knowing that.

I just have to think that’s what the agency does.

‘Hmm. Being a celebrity is a good job.’

Thanks to that, I had plenty of money.

The money I made from filming the drama was still intact, and the movie’s running guarantee was also coming in tremendously.

In addition, the money I made from filming commercials was also sleeping soundly without me touching it.

“Wow… that was a very chaebol [conglomerate] second-generation moment.”

“I agree. It would be nice to film a drama as a chaebol second generation.”

I don’t know where they got that feeling.

Anyway, money was not a problem for Yeon-woo.

Even before entering the entertainment industry, Yeon-woo’s bank account was always plentiful and abundant.

It’s not like pocket money.

When I was young, I didn’t know anything and just threw a word to the people who came to my mother’s shrine, and that’s all that came back as money.

Should I call it a fortune-telling fee?

“In fact, it’s quite burdensome to proceed with a lawsuit, both mentally and materially. So, it’s difficult to make them legally punished even if they hear harsh words. That’s why I was very surprised by the notice Yeon-woo posted this time. It’s the first time I’ve seen a celebrity who cares so much about their fans.”

“It’s my responsibility to those who have heard unnecessary things because of me.”

“Yes. But so far, no one has ever prepared a lawyer for their fans like Yeon-woo.”

“Haha. So I have high expectations for this. These days, people think the Internet is anonymous and say too much and leave malicious comments. They don’t even realize that it’s wrong. But it’s fortunate that Kang Yeon-woo is helping to proceed with large-scale lawsuits.”
The law firm representative also added.

“If we proceed like this, it will probably bring about very good social changes. It’s quite common for celebrities to sue commenters now, but it’s still a distant matter for the general public. If it’s known who the subject of the lawsuit is, it will be quite noisy.”

“Oh. Articles have already been published. It’s only been a day since the incident happened, and they’ve written novels with just the notice… .”

“Haha. Then we’ll have to process it quickly. That way, it’ll be good to drop a bomb when public opinion is formed.”

“Oh… Can we cover that part [in the show]?”

“If the client allows it, haha.”

Several pairs of eyes turned to Yeon-woo.

“Of course.”

The way to cleanly feed them *yeot* [Korean taffy, metaphorically meaning to trick or mess with someone] until the end.

At the same time, I can repay my fans who have been on my side even a little.

That was the last *pang* [big move or scheme] Yeon-woo prepared.

*

The story continued even during the meal.

“Come to think of it, Yeon-woo. I’ve been getting some calls from that side.”

“Which side are you talking about?”

“They’re voluntarily reporting that they insulted Yeon-woo.”

It seemed like they were voluntarily paying taxes after seeing the law firm’s contact information on the notice.

Well.

I heard that if you confess to any crime, the sentence will be reduced.

‘Of course, there’s no such mercy in my dictionary.’

Yeon-woo shrugged.

“They picked the wrong opponent. I’m not the plaintiff.”

This side only supported the victims to proceed with the lawsuit in every way and is not the subject of the lawsuit.

“But that’s not what they think. First of all, the judicial process is proceeding with the notice Yeon-woo posted. They seem quite desperate. Haha.”

That’s what he said, but the law firm representative didn’t feel very sorry either.

“Don’t be lenient. Their excuses are all the same. I just did it for fun. I did it as a joke. I didn’t know I would be sued like this. I have a family to support. I’m taking the civil service exam, so I’ll be disadvantaged if I’m sued, so please withdraw it. It’s a big deal if the company finds out… Ugh. There’s no grave without an excuse. What are you talking about?”

“What the PD is saying is exactly what I heard. Haha.”

“People have no creativity, no creativity. I’d rather say the cat typed it. Don’t you think?”

“Oh. There was even such an excuse. My hamster typed it or something… .”

I want to swear, but I don’t want to take responsibility.

How much of an egoist is that?

“You have to pay the price if you commit a crime.”

In short, I have no intention of being lenient.

‘I think they’re trying to get on my good side because they think I encouraged them by posting the notice… .’

No way.

If I had any intention of being lenient in the first place, I wouldn’t have posted such a notice.

I wouldn’t have devised a way to pay them back with effort.

The people who poured out harsh words to Yeon-woo probably had a tingling back of their heads when they saw the notice.

Yeon-woo, the subject, was calmly processing the work, one step away.

And anyway…

‘I think it’ll be taken care of even if I don’t step in directly.’

Was it the eve of the storm?

Before hitting the back of the head perfectly with a YouTube live stream.

That was exactly when.

-So, what you’re saying, Yeon-woo, is… you’re going to wait and see?

Kwon Seong-hyun, who asked this,

-Yes. I have something in mind.

After hearing Yeon-woo’s words, he surprisingly stepped back.

It was an unexpected reaction for someone who said to catch them all and throw them in.

-[Our actor gave up too. Tsk tsk… How much of an iron wall must Yeon-woo be… .]

-…?

Dongja-ryeong muttered next to him, but Yeon-woo ignored him.

The finale of revenge is none other than the notice.

In order to do that, it would be difficult if it became *meoktong* [unresponsive or jammed].

When I asked Kwon Seong-hyun,

-Ah. I’ll take care of the server problem. If I increase the traffic to the maximum, it’ll be okay even if hundreds of thousands of people flock to it.

That’s what he said.

Of course, it would cost a lot of money and maintenance to increase the traffic and increase the server capacity to the level of a major portal, but Yeon-woo, who didn’t know that far, thought so.

In fact, I wouldn’t have said anything even if I knew.

Because Kwon Seong-hyun, the person involved, wouldn’t think much about it either.

Besides, Dongja-ryeong passed by a while ago,

-[These days, our actor. It seems like he’s contacting that Mr. Woo?]

He even leaked these words.

‘Did they become close?’

They were growling at each other as if they were going to eat each other.

The two of them often contact each other as if they were plotting something these days.

After that, even Dongja-ryeong became a little strange.

-[That Mr. Woo. He seems like a pretty good guy. There’s a corner where we can communicate.]

-…?

What could a company chairman and a ghost have in common?

But if even Dongja-ryeong joined in and said this, Kwon Seong-hyun and Woo Do-gyeom seemed to have built up quite a bit of friendship.

So I asked.

-Dongja said that you became close with Woo Do-gyeom?

-Absolutely not.

Strangely, an incredibly serious answer came back.

Usually, he was soft no matter what he did, but when he was serious, it was quite destructive.

-This is only a strategic alliance, so please don’t have any strange misunderstandings, Yeon-woo.

-Yes, well… .

I didn’t care deeply, but Yeon-woo is not a fool.

Maybe Kwon Seong-hyun and Woo Do-gyeom were plotting something.

And Dongja-ryeong joined in.

‘Well. They’ll take care of it.’

In fact, Yeon-woo, the person involved, didn’t think much about the insults he had eaten, but that didn’t mean he wanted the people around him to think the same way.

Yeon-woo was more concerned about the wounds his people received than himself.

That’s why I moderately overlooked the two’s conspiracy.

‘Anyway… the two of them are quite close.’

That’s why the attachment is scary.

“Since Yeon-woo is so strong, you don’t have to worry about it being vague.”

“I’m already looking forward to it. There’s going to be a big fuss.”

“Articles are starting to come out in earnest… Once the complaint is filed, it’s just the beginning, so it’ll be noisy for a while.”
The stories they were sharing were heard.

And.

[Crazy. Crazy. Do you guys know that everything is turned upside down and you’re using the internet??]

As expected, it started to flow as predicted.
