Do You Know Verbal Karma? (2)

072. Do You Know Verbal Karma? (2)

2022.01.11.

Verbal Karma. Simply put, it refers to sins committed with the mouth.
– What the hell are you talking about lol
– Nonsense.
– What’s with the verbal karma crap? Are we talking? We’re chatting, right? Tsk tsk. Did you even graduate school properly?
‘As the world changes, the form of verbal karma has also changed somewhat.’
In the past, sins committed through speech truly corresponded to verbal karma, but now, opinions spewed out online could also be considered verbal karma. The ignition point has simply moved from the mouth to the fingers, I guess.
[These guys are totally out of control… If they’re that full of malice, there’s no point in giving them a long leash!]
The child spirit watching from above clicked his tongue and muttered. Yeon-woo felt the same.
“Judging by how they spew out things they should and shouldn’t say, it seems their judgment has deteriorated. So, they commit sins recklessly and don’t even know they’ve sinned, right? They’re not in their right mind, so they commit sins and see hallucinations, right? You’re not in your right mind, are you? You’re probably going to have a hard time for a while until you come to your senses.”
Words spoken gently with a smiling face. However.
[Kang Yeon-woo, you scary kid. Wow… I didn’t know you’d use language magic here. Well… it’s not a curse, so it won’t become your karma… you’re just showing them, right?]
The child spirit, who uniquely grasped Yeon-woo’s intentions, was never fooled by that smile and gentle tone. And as a result.
The reactions of those who were spewing malicious chats suddenly changed strangely.
– You’re talking real nonsense. I’m crazy right now ㄹㅇ미허;미ᅟᅥᆽㅎㅎㄹㄹㅎㅎㅎㅇㄴㄹㅁ
– Ah ㅅ씽ㅎㅁㅎ서ᅟᅵᆸ what is this 힣앟아히‘43-8ㅅㅂ2349혛43’ᅟᅧᇂ34PQ’P
A message that seemed like the final scream uttered at the moment of death, transcribed into text. For a moment, only silence flowed in the chat window.
– …?
– …?? What is it??
– Both of them suddenly went silent…?
Those who had been endlessly cursing Yeon-woo suddenly stopped chatting. Other viewers, sensing the strangeness, buzzed, but only Yeon-woo was smiling.
“Life is a battlefield. Good luck.”
Probably, right now, those guys were on the verge of fainting. What Yeon-woo did was simple.
‘Using language magic in a place like this after so long. Tsk.’
He had empowered his words to briefly open the spiritual eyes of those guys. Since he didn’t draw a separate talisman or anything, the effect would only last for a few minutes at most… but that would be enough for them.
Since those guys had accumulated verbal karma so diligently, they probably had quite a bit of accumulated resentment. The aftereffects of seeing that enormous amount would definitely not be small.
In short, it was instant karma.
– Wow… suddenly it’s clean ;;
– Were they really out of their minds? They went silent at Yeon-woo’s one word ;;
– Did they think they’d be sued? Those who’d be scared by a lawsuit were barking…;
– lololol I knew it wasn’t a fabrication, serves them right
– I heard that the punishment for malicious comments against celebrities has been strengthened these days, so they must have really been scared. They were acting up when they’d be scared by that much lol
As the chat window suddenly became clean, the viewers were puzzled, but they seemed more pleased that they couldn’t say a word to Yeon-woo and went silent. In particular, they enjoyed this strange coincidence, saying that the timing of Yeon-woo’s last words and the malicious commenters’ death throes was amazing.
‘They’re scared of being sued… It wouldn’t be bad to let them misunderstand that way.’
Sometimes it’s better for the truth to be hidden. As the villains received a blow and disappeared with their tails between their legs, the atmosphere of the chat window, which had been fierce and grim, was revived.
– But those guys deserved to be sued. Seriously, how can you fabricate this with so many people?
– That’s right;; Who would gather this many people to fabricate?? No, can they even gather? That’s ridiculous;;;
Currently, My TV in my hand was recording the highest number of viewers in the program’s history. As the most anticipated rookie in recent times, quite a few people flocked to it in the beginning.
However, as the broadcast progressed, people who had no interest in Yeon-woo heard the news that he was constantly producing miraculous counseling results and flocked to him, gradually increasing the number of viewers. The freshness of the content led to new inflows, and the viewers who flowed in were able to clearly engrave the person named Kang Yeon-woo in their minds. Especially,
– But those kinds of guys always think that what they think is right, so if Yeon-woo hadn’t let them be and just banned them, they would have written their brain farts as facts elsewhere and spread them around ㅇㅇ It’s good that they got hit with a fact bomb here and got scared and dropped out ㅇㅇ
The calm attitude of calmly responding to malicious commenters and the strangely coincidental silence. When malicious chats poured out, people frowned, but as the situation was resolved, it was only natural that they felt more favorable to Yeon-woo, who responded calmly. Rather, the malicious commenters’ rampage worked to Yeon-woo’s advantage.
“Yes. I wasn’t particularly upset. Well, it’s not like there aren’t one or two people talking nonsense. If I took all those things to heart, I’d get sick of it, so it’s best to ignore them. Those people will eventually trip over their own feet.”
The staff watching Yeon-woo communicate with the viewers muttered as if amazed.
“Kang Yeon-woo, is he really a rookie?”
From the way he calmly responded even after that commotion, you could feel a subtle sense of experience. Like someone who has been trained countless times?
“That’s right. It hasn’t even been half a year since he debuted, has it?”
“But how can he be so calm? How can he be so indifferent even when he’s being cursed at to his face when it hasn’t been long since he debuted? Is he perhaps a little timid or something?”
“PD-nim [PD- a common Korean abbreviation for Program Director]. That’s not it. How can a timid person do a show like this? From what I see, it seems like he’s just not paying attention to them.”
“That’s what’s amazing. Isn’t the self-consciousness at its peak when you’ve just debuted? You saw how he told us not to step in even though he was being cursed at right in front of him, right?”
“I have to admit that. I was a little surprised there too, you know? I thought there would be a broadcasting accident because he said he would handle it himself… it’s still a time when he’s full of energy.”
If he had responded on his own and spewed out curses or got angry, it would have been a broadcasting accident right away. The broadcast footage could be edited and sent out, but the hands and mouths of the hundreds of thousands of viewers watching the live internet stream could not be blocked.
“Don’t even mention it. If I think about it being captured as a 움짤 [short, looping video clip] and circulating as a meme, my stomach hurts. The title is already coming to mind. Rookie actor Kang Yeon-woo’s curse controversy on Naeti live broadcast… and we would have been severely criticized for casting such Kang Yeon-woo. We would have been told that we brought a bomb by postponing the existing broadcast schedule.”
The PD rubbed his upper abdomen as if he felt nauseous just thinking about it.
“That’s right. I was really in the dark about what would happen at that time, but the fact that he saved it like that… I understand why you say he doesn’t seem like a rookie.”
A situation that could have led directly to a broadcasting accident. However, strangely enough, when Yeon-woo’s calm yet sharp and meaningful warning was given, the malicious commenters reacted strangely and disappeared, making the story even more dramatic.
“If we package that well… I think it’ll be okay, right? I think it’ll be a hot topic if we do it well.”
A clean handling and a perfect finish. The way he doesn’t bat an eye at malicious comments and says everything he wants to say makes you feel so-called cider [refreshing or satisfying, like a strong cider].
“We’ll have to edit it a little, but I think it’ll be enough.”
“That’s good, right? Anyway, the fast-paced reporters have already smelled today’s events and are writing novels excitedly, so it’s better for us to show them properly. It’s a headache if distorted articles come out. I’m sorry too.”
“That’s right.”
Fortunately, it didn’t lead to a broadcasting accident and ended well, but there was a natural sense of guilt for making the growing sprout hear harsh words. Besides.
‘That type is bound to be a hit. A type with a strong mentality is bound to be a hit!’
There is an eye that has been cultivated while working in broadcasting for quite a long time. First of all, a type with a strong mentality can do anything. On the surface, the entertainment industry seems to have all kinds of splendor, but there is also darkness on the other side. That darkness swallowed people up so easily.
But Yeon-woo was different.
‘So I have to hold on to him no matter what!’
Just one broadcast. He’s only worked with him for about two hours, but the PD was sure. The people who survive in this industry for a long time are the people with that kind of mentality. So it would be beneficial to make a connection with him somehow in the future.
“There are only ten minutes left.”
The writer muttered next to him. Their eyes were fixed on Yeon-woo and wouldn’t leave. Kang Yeon-woo, who received all the attention of the people for about two hours. They were so looking forward to how he would finish the broadcast.

*** [10 minutes before the end of the broadcast.] The announcer’s clear voice echoed through the studio. When I checked, the end of the broadcast was already approaching 10 minutes.
“It’s already time to say goodbye. It seems like it’s a little short to receive one more story…”
– Just chat!
– Yeon-woo, sing me a song!
– Yeon-woo, I’m your 형 [hyung – older brother/male friend]. Will you tell me you love me?
As the end of the broadcast approached, viewers shouted out their respective final requests.
“Please give me song requests, and chatting is fine too. Love… I’ll think about it a little.”
The chat window was filled with ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Kkkk – equivalent to lol] at the last answer. After Yeon-woo sang a few short songs in a row, sponsorships poured in. Even in the midst of that,
[KSH7 sponsored 500,000 won.]
[I restrained myself ^^]
[KSH7 sponsored 500,000 won.]
[The duet with the sparrow was so good ^^]
The unique sponsor appeared without fail. With the outrageous statement that restraining himself was 500,000 won each.
– I want to hear a song and talk to Yeon-woo ㅠㅠ Won’t you come out on Naeti again ㅠㅠ?
“Well. Can I come out unless Naeti calls me?”
The writer beyond the camera shook a sketchbook that said ‘Unconditionally OK!!’, but Yeon-woo just smiled and turned his gaze to the monitor.
“There are about 3 minutes left. Now, let’s slowly say goodbye… Um?”
Yeon-woo, who was about to wave his hand while looking at the camera, paused for a moment. It was because of a head that suddenly popped out, blocking the camera.
[Hey!]
It was the ancestral spirit who gave the D-grade scolding, telling Yeon-woo all about the fraudster who defrauded his great-granddaughter’s future.
[Why are you here again, old man? Isn’t your business over?]
[I think I forgot to repay you. I happened to find something interesting on my way back.]
The commission fee has already been paid. Of course, the ancestral spirit probably doesn’t even know if he made a request or paid the fee.
[What is it? What is it?]
[That bastard who defrauded our great-granddaughter’s future husband! I heard that he’s going to Incheon with some 떼놈 [Ttaenom – derogatory term for Chinese people]-speaking guy?]
[Did you go to bother him one last time?]
[Ahem! Hmm! There’s also a saying that you should reap the beauty of the end, isn’t there?]
Yeon-woo naturally continued.
“…It’s a little disappointing to just do that, so I’ll give you one last service.”
The hesitation between whether to speak or not was short.
‘It’s a scam worth billions of won, right?’
It’s absurd to let go of such a guy even though you know about him. Besides, if the ancestral spirit is taking such an active role, you can assume that the fraudster was doomed from the start. Unless that fraudster has a guardian spirit that is equal to the ancestral spirit.
But looking at the way things are going, it seems like there’s no such thing.
‘That’s why 혈연 [blood ties] is the best among 지연 [regional ties], 학연 [school ties], and 혈연 [blood ties].’
– AS? What AS?
– Kang Do-ryeong has been possessed again ㄷㄷ [shorthand for ‘daedae’ meaning ‘real’ or ‘seriously’]
“About that fraudster who ran away live. Is the person who sent that story here now?”
– I’m a friend, and she’s at the police station right now, so she’s out of her mind.
“Ah. If your friend is here, please tell her. It seems like the fraudster is a little caught. It would be good to check around Incheon Port.”
