[The Final Battle]
349
00:27:47,898 --> 00:27:52,397
I was a writer who wrote online.
350
00:27:52,398 --> 00:27:58,105
I was an amateur, but I have
never broken my deadline.
351
00:27:58,106 --> 00:27:59,815
Yo, come here!
352
00:28:03,522 --> 00:28:05,105
Get over here!
353
00:28:05,106 --> 00:28:06,605
Hold on!
354
00:28:06,606 --> 00:28:09,772
We're in so much shit, get over here!
355
00:28:09,773 --> 00:28:11,863
Yo, I'm not lying, can you hurry up?
356
00:28:11,864 --> 00:28:14,114
- Come on, man!
- Shit!
357
00:28:14,864 --> 00:28:16,531
Shit...
358
00:28:24,096 --> 00:28:26,730
Hurry!
359
00:28:26,731 --> 00:28:28,690
- Come on, man!
- I'm coming!
360
00:28:31,106 --> 00:28:32,356
Christ...
361
00:28:33,981 --> 00:28:35,273
Get over here.
362
00:28:36,613 --> 00:28:37,613
What?!
363
00:28:40,605 --> 00:28:43,855
- Come, come.
- Why are you so slow? Get over here.
364
00:28:43,856 --> 00:28:45,355
What? What is it this time?
365
00:28:45,356 --> 00:28:50,439
All right, this chick has a ton
of men, like really rich men.
366
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,940
It's not shown here,
367
00:28:53,315 --> 00:28:54,690
but she's smoking hot.
368
00:28:55,690 --> 00:28:56,690
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
369
00:28:56,691 --> 00:29:01,522
The thing is, even if guys do
everything and buy anything for her,
370
00:29:01,523 --> 00:29:03,522
she will never date any of them, why?
371
00:29:03,523 --> 00:29:06,481
That's how she keeps them on a leash.
372
00:29:08,190 --> 00:29:12,522
And this photo here, this is her
trying to show off to other girls.
373
00:29:12,523 --> 00:29:14,356
Write a caption that goes well with it.

00:29:19,315 --> 00:29:21,730
blatant, yet subtle,
376
00:29:21,731 --> 00:29:24,064
cool but not desperate,
377
00:29:24,065 --> 00:29:25,773
in exactly two lines.
378
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,939
Are you simping her?
379
00:29:28,940 --> 00:29:30,397
Nope.
380
00:29:30,398 --> 00:29:32,814
You so are, you're letting
her take advantage of you?
381
00:29:32,815 --> 00:29:35,689
- I said no.
- Show us her face.
382
00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:39,773
It's nothing like that, I
paid a model for the shot.
383
00:29:41,022 --> 00:29:43,397

What the shit? No way in hell.

00:30:12,897 --> 00:30:14,814
If I repost something
like this, I'll get banned.
391
00:30:14,815 --> 00:30:16,855
I know, that's why I'm asking.
392
00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:19,105
You said you got some clout there.
393
00:30:19,106 --> 00:30:23,355
That's why, this will
get me the ban hammer.

00:30:23,356 --> 00:30:26,064
You gotta do it to catfish.
395
00:30:26,065 --> 00:30:28,314
Catfishing isn't allowed.
396
00:30:28,315 --> 00:30:29,939
It has to be catfishing.
397
00:30:29,940 --> 00:30:33,939
I can't catfish, asshole.
398
00:30:33,940 --> 00:30:36,106
You have to catfish.
399
00:30:37,140 --> 00:30:39,640
Are you hearing my words?
400
00:30:42,356 --> 00:30:44,772
That photo costed me $300.
401
00:30:44,773 --> 00:30:47,315
If that gets reposted in 10 forums,
402
00:30:48,481 --> 00:30:50,065
we get paid $3,000.
403
00:30:52,022 --> 00:30:53,939
How the hell do you
make $3,000 with that?
404
00:30:53,940 --> 00:30:56,773
He's lying AF, you
actually believe him?
405
00:30:58,022 --> 00:30:59,105
You see that?
406
00:30:59,106 --> 00:31:00,190
What is it?
407
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,440
That.
408
00:31:04,023 --> 00:31:05,565
What?
409
00:31:06,855 --> 00:31:09,022
Look at what?
410
00:31:09,023 --> 00:31:11,439
So? What was it?
411
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,975
It was a new brand of cigarettes.
412
00:31:13,898 --> 00:31:16,522
Advertising cigarettes is illegal.
413
00:31:16,523 --> 00:31:22,272
So, cigarette companies resort to social
contribution project to show their logo.
414
00:31:22,273 --> 00:31:24,939
To expose their logos naturally on TV,
415
00:31:24,940 --> 00:31:29,731
they created judo, wrestling,
boxing, and foot volleyball teams.
416
00:31:30,731 --> 00:31:34,730
But who would watch sweaty
athletes and think about cigarettes?
417
00:31:34,731 --> 00:31:37,398
So, they wanted to start
a new way of marketing.
418
00:31:38,481 --> 00:31:41,772
With a sexy and sophisticated image.
[Drama Queen needs her attention lol.]

00:31:41,773 --> 00:31:43,815

[What's the cig brand?]
421
00:31:44,940 --> 00:31:47,326
And without breaking the law.
[Showing off expensive shit.]
422
00:31:50,481 --> 00:31:52,439
You intended this to happen?
423
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,480
Of course.
424
00:31:54,481 --> 00:31:56,772

much money to be made?

My account is about to vanish.

Who here is at risk of
losing anything here?
429
00:32:18,022 --> 00:32:19,814
He went to get $3,000,
430
00:32:19,815 --> 00:32:22,481
and came back with $5,000
for exceeding expectations.
431
00:32:25,939 --> 00:32:29,272
Dude, we should do
this properly for real.
432
00:32:29,273 --> 00:32:31,647
It was just a one-time deal.
433
00:32:31,648 --> 00:32:33,814
You said there's so
much money to be made.
434
00:32:33,815 --> 00:32:35,855
I mean, in this world.
435
00:32:35,856 --> 00:32:38,730
I said there's so much
money to be made in this world.
436
00:32:38,731 --> 00:32:40,815
But why did you quit your job?
437
00:32:40,816 --> 00:32:42,857
He didn't quit, he was fired.
438
00:32:43,739 --> 00:32:45,698
Fine, I got fired.
439
00:32:46,397 --> 00:32:50,355
Let's give this a proper
go, do it systematically.
440
00:32:50,356 --> 00:32:53,189
It's not like you guys
got better things to do.
441
00:32:53,190 --> 00:32:55,316
- Gonna jerk off all day?
- Take it easy, man.
442
00:33:00,481 --> 00:33:01,856

00:33:03,565 --> 00:33:04,815

Yeah, Kat.

No, Fork.

JjingFuckKing.
455
00:33:29,138 --> 00:33:30,988
That's a funny name.
456
00:33:33,023 --> 00:33:34,897
We needed usernames that can be pronounced,
[Fuck...]
457
00:33:34,898 --> 00:33:37,481
but ones that are hard to create
with a combo of letters, ForkKing...
458
00:33:37,482 --> 00:33:41,399
and ones that will never
overlap on any websites.
459
00:33:42,397 --> 00:33:44,397
Why did you make
usernames in the first place?
460
00:33:44,398 --> 00:33:46,480
To report our work progress.
461
00:33:46,481 --> 00:33:50,980
We needed to stay anonymous,
but retain minimal evidence.
462
00:33:50,981 --> 00:33:52,855
That's why we did it like that.
463
00:33:52,856 --> 00:33:54,731
So, you're PEpteK...
464
00:33:54,732 --> 00:33:57,107
No, ChAtTaTkat.

Did you develop that?
466
00:34:06,691 --> 00:34:08,827
Wait, I forgot to turn on my recorder.
467
00:34:14,031 --> 00:34:15,573
Could you not record?
468
00:34:16,981 --> 00:34:18,397
Why not?
469
00:34:18,398 --> 00:34:22,064
I could be IDed if
my voice is analyzed.
470
00:34:22,065 --> 00:34:24,230
Analyze your voice?
471
00:34:24,231 --> 00:34:27,314
Journalists don't do
that, we don't know how.
472
00:34:27,315 --> 00:34:30,356
I know, I'm not worried about you.
473
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:37,939
Cops and other agencies can't
recklessly request recording files.
474
00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:42,064
There's a confidential informant
protection law, so you don't need to worry.
475
00:34:42,065 --> 00:34:43,773
I'm not talking about cops.

00:34:47,023 --> 00:34:49,606
You think your story
is very important, right?
477
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,230
All informants feel that way,
they all suffered terrible injustice.
478
00:34:54,231 --> 00:34:59,189
This world is full of so many surprising
stories, but not all of them become articles.
479
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:02,564
Articles are like
never-ending serialized novel.
480
00:35:02,565 --> 00:35:04,897
I won't record then.
481
00:35:04,898 --> 00:35:07,065
So just tell me your story.

00:35:12,815 --> 00:35:18,314
After that, we got a call from
a seasoned movie producer.
483
00:35:18,315 --> 00:35:22,939
Apparently, everything he touched turned
into shit, so he had a ton of debt.
484
00:35:22,940 --> 00:35:26,690
My movie's budget is $4 million.
485
00:35:27,731 --> 00:35:29,356
Does it sound a lot?
486
00:35:30,315 --> 00:35:31,475
$4 million is...
487
00:35:31,476 --> 00:35:35,522
It's a micro budget.
488
00:35:35,523 --> 00:35:37,439
Right, micro.
489
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,480
Other movies are made with $10 million.
490
00:35:40,481 --> 00:35:44,105
And $2-3 million more for marketing.
491
00:35:44,106 --> 00:35:51,939
Then they boast that so much money went
into it, that's how they package it.
492
00:35:51,940 --> 00:35:53,565
Whenever they do that,
493
00:35:54,690 --> 00:35:58,523
my movie only gets smaller.
494
00:35:59,898 --> 00:36:03,480
I was told he was a pitiful man.
495
00:36:03,481 --> 00:36:05,856
What little wish I have is,
496
00:36:07,315 --> 00:36:12,315
I want my movie to be
watched by many people.
497
00:36:13,648 --> 00:36:16,230
You came to the right place.
498
00:36:16,231 --> 00:36:18,315
We're experts at that.
499
00:36:22,855 --> 00:36:25,022
Is this by any chance illegal?
500
00:36:25,023 --> 00:36:26,273
It's not illegal.
501
00:36:30,106 --> 00:36:31,481
Not sure if it's legal...
502
00:36:33,523 --> 00:36:34,856
But it's not illegal.
503
00:36:40,398 --> 00:36:42,064
- Movie marketing?
- Yeah.
504
00:36:42,065 --> 00:36:45,022
That retard sobbed in front of me.
505
00:36:45,023 --> 00:36:47,855
He did? Why did he sob?
506
00:36:47,856 --> 00:36:49,565
Who the fuck knows, retard.
507
00:36:51,481 --> 00:36:53,647
- How much is he paying?
- $40,000.
508
00:36:53,648 --> 00:36:55,772
- $40,000?
- Yeah.
509
00:36:55,773 --> 00:36:57,730
- Forty-freaking-thousand?
- Yeah.
510
00:36:57,731 --> 00:37:02,230
Fuck you, man, I
ain't falling for that.
511
00:37:02,231 --> 00:37:06,314
Why'd he pay you $40,000? He
has no money, why would he do that?
512
00:37:06,315 --> 00:37:07,689
You're so full of shit.
513
00:37:07,690 --> 00:37:10,522
What do you know, this is a bargain.
514
00:37:10,523 --> 00:37:12,738
They usually pay $2-3 million,
so he's getting a good deal.
515
00:37:12,739 --> 00:37:13,864
What are you doing?
516
00:37:14,981 --> 00:37:16,315
Give me that.
517
00:37:17,148 --> 00:37:18,814
Seriously?
518
00:37:18,815 --> 00:37:20,440
Jesus Christ...
519
00:37:24,023 --> 00:37:26,774
- For real?
- 100%.
520
00:37:28,940 --> 00:37:30,815
100% real.
521
00:37:32,315 --> 00:37:34,980
Shit, don't believe me then!
522
00:37:34,981 --> 00:37:36,065
Yeah?
523
00:37:36,773 --> 00:37:39,490
Yo, you sleeping? We got a gig!
524
00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:44,773
So, we went to watch Love Letter.
525
00:37:49,815 --> 00:37:56,314
It was about a terminally ill
woman, a sad, beautiful and...
526
00:37:56,315 --> 00:37:59,147
Wow, this is boring as fuck!
527
00:37:59,148 --> 00:38:00,605
super long.
528
00:38:00,606 --> 00:38:04,772
Dude, what do we do?
529
00:38:04,773 --> 00:38:07,605
It's gotta be even a little
fun to do something with it.
530
00:38:07,606 --> 00:38:10,065
This is hopeless.
531
00:38:11,856 --> 00:38:13,481
This is gonna be hard...
532
00:38:13,482 --> 00:38:15,232
Why are you so serious?
533
00:38:20,815 --> 00:38:25,523
A big-budget movie was
playing at the same time.
534
00:38:32,412 --> 00:38:35,190
- That was incredible!
- It was crazy!
535
00:38:40,565 --> 00:38:44,398
So, I came up with a new idea.
536
00:38:46,315 --> 00:38:48,065
[A Model Prosecutor]
537
00:38:59,356 --> 00:39:01,913
I was poor, but I had a dream.
538
00:39:02,815 --> 00:39:05,288
Where are you? Hurry up with the body.
539
00:39:08,190 --> 00:39:09,689
I'm on my way.
540
00:39:09,690 --> 00:39:14,356
I was willing to do anything
to achieve that dream.
541
00:39:14,357 --> 00:39:19,816
My dream was to put my
name in this movie's end credit.
542
00:39:20,897 --> 00:39:26,065
The one who dreams, and the one without
a dream, who's crazier in this world?
543
00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:30,440
You there.
544
00:39:31,190 --> 00:39:33,231
A body fell back there.
545
00:39:34,815 --> 00:39:38,897
The set of A Model Prosecutor
was absurd, and killed my spirit.
546
00:39:38,898 --> 00:39:40,315
We're about to shoot.
547
00:39:40,316 --> 00:39:42,607
I'm almost there, I'm close.
548
00:39:46,356 --> 00:39:50,315
I was like the limbless
body I carried on the set.
549
00:39:52,085 --> 00:39:53,272
Dammit!
550
00:39:53,273 --> 00:39:54,440
What a dumb-ass...
551
00:39:54,441 --> 00:39:56,607
What the hell are you doing?
552
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,065
Answer me.
553
00:40:00,231 --> 00:40:01,565
Set! Ready!
554
00:40:02,648 --> 00:40:03,898
Action!
555
00:40:05,606 --> 00:40:07,855
That's how I lost my dream.
556
00:40:07,856 --> 00:40:11,648
Forget it, no need for you.
557
00:40:12,648 --> 00:40:15,439
Just go home, moron!
558
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,398
And I have not been
paid $3,400 in salary.
559
00:40:19,399 --> 00:40:21,441
Hey, hey.
560
00:40:22,481 --> 00:40:25,647
Doesn't this feel a bit weak?
561
00:40:25,648 --> 00:40:30,230
Who was that guy, what's
his name, that actor?
562
00:40:30,231 --> 00:40:31,980
Let's just say he bullied.
563
00:40:31,981 --> 00:40:34,064
He's got a bad rep too.
564
00:40:34,065 --> 00:40:35,814
No way, way too cheesy.
565
00:40:35,815 --> 00:40:39,314
That's why it'll work, it won't
be easy to make excuses.
566
00:40:39,315 --> 00:40:41,939
No, it's good as is.
567
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:43,856
Be quiet, be quiet.
568
00:40:49,898 --> 00:40:53,439
"I want to stop the pain."
569
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,106
Even in my dreams,
this industry haunts me.
570
00:40:58,023 --> 00:41:01,897
I don't even have the money
for rent and phone bills.
571
00:41:01,898 --> 00:41:05,814
I may have lost my dream,
but I want my money.
572
00:41:05,815 --> 00:41:08,565

573
00:41:09,398 --> 00:41:12,022
Shit, that's so sad.
574
00:41:12,023 --> 00:41:13,647
Okay, title.

No, no, no.
578

Instead of movie forums,
579
00:41:25,106 --> 00:41:27,605
how about political forums that
social justice warriors frequent?
580
00:41:27,606 --> 00:41:29,148
Good, you're a genius.
581

- What are you doing?
- What's up?
587

You don't just post it, gotta
capture it and post the image.
588
00:41:46,606 --> 00:41:48,939
- Why?
- So that it'll be easily shared.
589
00:41:48,940 --> 00:41:51,043
Eh? How did you know?
590
00:41:51,044 --> 00:41:53,961
Those guys were so
smart in that regard.
591
00:41:55,023 --> 00:41:58,564
So, you spread wild rumors
to bomb the competition?
592
00:41:58,565 --> 00:41:59,481
Yes.
593
00:41:59,482 --> 00:42:04,480
When it bombs, screens would
be shared among small movies,
594
00:42:04,481 --> 00:42:07,480
and that we'd be doing a good thing.
595
00:42:07,481 --> 00:42:09,440
That actually worked?
596
00:42:11,231 --> 00:42:14,439

597
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,230
engaging in bullying and battling
against a righteous prosecutor.
598
00:42:17,231 --> 00:42:20,147
Pretending to be kind,
and triumphing over evil.
599
00:42:20,148 --> 00:42:22,855
But what if the filmmakers
were bullies to begin with?
600
00:42:22,856 --> 00:42:25,605

00:49:03,398 --> 00:49:05,565
[Why?]
698
00:49:06,315 --> 00:49:09,231
[I'll tell you in person.]
699
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,106
It looked like it
wasn't a coincidence...
700
00:49:35,190 --> 00:49:37,105
that A Model Prosecutor failed.
701
00:49:37,106 --> 00:49:38,898
You'll write about us then?
702
00:49:40,690 --> 00:49:43,023
How did you three first meet?
703
00:49:44,481 --> 00:49:47,022
At a club when we were young.
704
00:49:47,023 --> 00:49:48,815
What kind of a club?
705
00:49:49,515 --> 00:49:52,801
A fan club for Nakajima Minoru,
a Japanese manga artist.
706
00:49:53,773 --> 00:49:57,522
It was a tiny one of a
dozen or so members.
707
00:49:57,523 --> 00:49:59,523
It probably doesn't exist anymore.
708
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,480
By the way, what's your real name?
709
00:50:04,481 --> 00:50:06,648
You haven't told me
any of your real names.
710
00:50:07,648 --> 00:50:10,231
Do I have to tell you?
711
00:50:11,106 --> 00:50:15,230
No articles can be written without
verifying the informant's name.
712
00:50:15,231 --> 00:50:19,190
What if I give you a fake name?
713
00:50:25,481 --> 00:50:28,605
You guys didn't accuse my
article of being fake, right?
714
00:50:28,606 --> 00:50:31,272
No, that wasn't us.
715
00:50:31,273 --> 00:50:33,273
Then what will you tell me?
716
00:50:34,148 --> 00:50:36,773
You said you would help me first.
717
00:50:42,231 --> 00:50:46,690
It was the first time that I
thought we could actually go to jail.
718
00:50:49,272 --> 00:50:52,598
So, I was thinking of quitting.
719
00:51:33,940 --> 00:51:35,606
Damn...
720
00:51:41,523 --> 00:51:42,856
Yeah...
721
00:51:47,565 --> 00:51:49,231
You want me to do what?
722
00:51:52,940 --> 00:51:55,065
That's a bit excessive.
723
00:51:56,023 --> 00:51:58,023
It doesn't make any sense.
724
00:52:00,606 --> 00:52:01,898
Understood.
725
00:52:05,273 --> 00:52:06,731
Came by yourself?
726
00:52:09,606 --> 00:52:12,273
Worked with a cigarette company before?
727
00:52:12,274 --> 00:52:14,129
How much did you get paid?
728
00:52:14,130 --> 00:52:15,713
$5,000, right?
729
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:21,230
It was supposed to be $3,000, but
ended up getting more, so $5,000.
730
00:52:21,231 --> 00:52:22,398
Not really.
731
00:52:22,399 --> 00:52:24,732
How much did you get paid this time?
732
00:52:27,190 --> 00:52:29,605
I don't know what you're talking about.
733
00:52:29,606 --> 00:52:31,273
He agreed to $40,000.
734
00:52:34,773 --> 00:52:36,523
He stiffed you?
735
00:52:42,613 --> 00:52:49,023
Did you know that tobacco
company is still using your method?
736
00:52:54,856 --> 00:53:02,856
Because of your film industry unpaid wages
post, a congressional office is prepping a bill.
737
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,981
Do you know how much money it
costs to prep something like that?
738
00:53:08,940 --> 00:53:10,398
You know...
739
00:53:13,815 --> 00:53:17,190
I don't think you should
sell yourself short.
740
00:53:19,565 --> 00:53:22,606
You have no clue how much
money you helped move.
741
00:53:30,523 --> 00:53:33,148
Don't you want to work and
be treated fairly from now on?
742
00:53:36,773 --> 00:53:39,022
He wasn't a cop?
743
00:53:39,023 --> 00:53:44,480
No, he said the man looked
like someone from an agency.
744
00:53:44,481 --> 00:53:45,939
Like a fed.
745
00:53:45,940 --> 00:53:47,522
A fed?
746
00:53:47,523 --> 00:53:52,980
I've never met one, so, I'm not quite
sure, but he said the man had that aura.
747
00:53:52,981 --> 00:53:54,522
So what?
748
00:53:54,523 --> 00:53:56,355
What's the job now?
749
00:53:56,356 --> 00:53:58,480
No different than
what we've been doing.
750
00:53:58,481 --> 00:54:00,272
Who were they?
751
00:54:00,273 --> 00:54:02,480
Dunno, he wouldn't say.
752
00:54:02,481 --> 00:54:03,814
Money?
753
00:54:03,815 --> 00:54:05,189
Is he gonna pay up?
754
00:54:05,190 --> 00:54:06,689
He looked loaded.
755
00:54:06,690 --> 00:54:08,480
How can we trust you?
756
00:54:08,481 --> 00:54:10,315
What if he backstabs
us like the last time?
757
00:54:10,316 --> 00:54:11,607
No way.
758
00:54:14,231 --> 00:54:17,773
But he felt completely different.
759
00:54:18,940 --> 00:54:21,022
And it looked like he
was trying to test us.
760
00:54:21,023 --> 00:54:21,982
What test?
761
00:54:21,983 --> 00:54:26,022
He didn't literally say
that. It just felt like that.
762
00:54:26,023 --> 00:54:29,190
Then do they know about us?
763
00:54:29,940 --> 00:54:31,355
Yeah, I think so.
764
00:54:31,356 --> 00:54:34,023
Then this could be too dangerous.
765
00:54:39,565 --> 00:54:40,690
Let's do it.
766
00:54:42,606 --> 00:54:43,435
Do it?
767
00:54:43,436 --> 00:54:45,518
You said it's like a test.
768
00:54:46,648 --> 00:54:48,815
And we'll get paid.
769
00:54:51,565 --> 00:54:55,440
Hey, do you know what we've been doing?
770
00:54:56,314 --> 00:54:59,480
A blockbuster failed because of us.
771
00:54:59,481 --> 00:55:01,897
And someone else
made millions off our work.
772
00:55:01,898 --> 00:55:03,397
But we're ghosts.
773
00:55:03,398 --> 00:55:05,481
And you said they know about us.
774
00:55:05,482 --> 00:55:11,273
Someone finally recognized
our work, and we just call it quits?
775
00:55:12,898 --> 00:55:13,898
Huh?
776
00:55:15,065 --> 00:55:18,147
Do it, no matter what.
777
00:55:18,148 --> 00:55:20,231
But leave evidence at all costs.
778
00:55:24,148 --> 00:55:25,523
Isn't that enough?
779
00:55:26,648 --> 00:55:29,773
The new gig was unlike
anything we've tackled before.
780
00:55:29,774 --> 00:55:31,399
Who is she?
781
00:55:32,148 --> 00:55:33,439
Her name is Lee Eun-chae.
782
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,730
She may look like an ordinary,
social media-addicted college girl,
783
00:55:36,731 --> 00:55:39,730
but she's not ordinary at all.
784
00:55:39,731 --> 00:55:41,022
How so?
785
00:55:41,023 --> 00:55:46,147
Her dad is social activist Lee Yong-chan,
who holds a record for one-man protest.
786
00:55:46,148 --> 00:55:48,474
A record? There's a
record for protests?
787
00:55:49,481 --> 00:55:52,689
Rain or shine, he's been protesting
every day for over 9 months.
788
00:55:52,690 --> 00:55:57,273
He's become quite a renowned
social activist because of that.
789
00:55:57,274 --> 00:55:59,732
Eun-chae was supposedly
influenced heavily by her dad.
790
00:56:01,145 --> 00:56:05,897
She became her major rep,
joined the student council,
791
00:56:05,898 --> 00:56:11,106
and engage in social service activities,
and even the college president knew her.
792
00:56:12,616 --> 00:56:15,033
Everyone knew she wanted to
become the student president.
793
00:56:16,315 --> 00:56:19,480
She was very active
and popular at first,
794
00:56:19,481 --> 00:56:25,105
but she became even more famous
for her flame wars on the school forum.
795
00:56:25,106 --> 00:56:26,897
[I'm Lee Eun-chae.
[I wrote the post to...]
796
00:56:26,898 --> 00:56:28,480
[Hah revealing your name here?]
797
00:56:28,481 --> 00:56:29,481
[So, the climate crisis is my fault?]
798
00:56:29,482 --> 00:56:30,855
[If you don't get it, study.]
799
00:56:30,856 --> 00:56:32,023
[Pathetically ignorant...]
800
00:56:35,023 --> 00:56:37,022
She's an attention whore.
801
00:56:37,023 --> 00:56:42,064
She posts so much on
Instagram, but no real friends.
802
00:56:42,065 --> 00:56:47,731
She had one, but they
had a falling out over a guy.
803
00:56:51,648 --> 00:56:53,356
Huh, that's the friend?
804
00:56:55,398 --> 00:56:57,940
So, what do we do with her?
805
00:57:01,981 --> 00:57:04,356
The student election
is two months away.
806
00:57:05,231 --> 00:57:06,565
So?
807
00:57:07,690 --> 00:57:11,273
We'll have to bait her
like crazy until then.
808
00:57:13,481 --> 00:57:16,189
Let's start with raising
her followers and likes.
809
00:57:16,190 --> 00:57:18,397
No comments just yet.
810
00:57:18,398 --> 00:57:21,273
Don't be so forward, be natural.
811
00:57:21,274 --> 00:57:24,232
I'll buy 1,000 fake Chinese accounts.
812
00:57:26,230 --> 00:57:27,480
With what money?
813
00:57:27,481 --> 00:57:31,399
And let's do it for real this time. If
this goes south, we're in the red.
814
00:57:32,867 --> 00:57:34,909
Non-stop nag...
815
00:57:40,815 --> 00:57:41,939
[Follow]
816
00:57:41,940 --> 00:57:43,148
[Follower]
817
00:57:53,022 --> 00:57:55,397
[Found this old photo!]
[Too many photos to post ;)]
818
00:57:55,398 --> 00:57:57,940
We can start commenting now.
819
00:58:01,856 --> 00:58:05,230
We began to praise her.
[I can't believe someone like you exists!]
820
00:58:05,231 --> 00:58:06,397
[I'll cheer for you!]
821
00:58:06,398 --> 00:58:08,148
[Beautiful inside and outside!]
822
00:58:09,273 --> 00:58:10,439
[Holy cow... I admire you, so pretty.]
823
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:11,730
[How are you so beautiful?]
824
00:58:11,731 --> 00:58:12,897
[Goddess...]
825
00:58:12,898 --> 00:58:13,857
[Stunning and beautiful.]
826
00:58:13,858 --> 00:58:15,272
[World is improving thanks
to people like you.]
827
00:58:15,273 --> 00:58:16,939
[How do you maintain
such a warm heart?]
828
00:58:16,940 --> 00:58:18,481
[You're becoming more beautiful.]
829
00:58:18,482 --> 00:58:20,441
[Absolutely stunning.]
830
00:58:22,148 --> 00:58:27,105
"You're bussin' and
vibin' with no cap..."
831
00:58:27,106 --> 00:58:28,605
What kind of bullshit is that?
832
00:58:28,606 --> 00:58:29,689
It's a compliment.
833
00:58:29,690 --> 00:58:32,147
How the hell is that a compliment?
834
00:58:32,148 --> 00:58:34,730
It's slang from a
popular chick gossip site.
835
00:58:34,731 --> 00:58:38,179
You pretended to be hard at
work, and surfed the web instead?
836
00:58:38,180 --> 00:58:39,300
I was researching.
837
00:58:39,301 --> 00:58:42,689
Why are you researching
on a gossip site?
838
00:58:42,690 --> 00:58:43,565
Morons.
839
00:58:43,566 --> 00:58:46,897
How else should I
research? On the street?
840
00:58:46,898 --> 00:58:51,648
I stopped writing altogether and
waited for Eun-chae to respond.
841
00:59:01,731 --> 00:59:04,939
Damn, she really is an attention whore.
[Wow, thank you :)]
842
00:59:04,940 --> 00:59:09,230
And she started responding not long after that.
[I'm not perfect either]
843
00:59:09,231 --> 00:59:10,273
[Thank you!!!]
844
00:59:17,731 --> 00:59:18,939
[Thanks... :3]
845
00:59:18,940 --> 00:59:20,523
[You're even more beautiful!]
846
00:59:20,524 --> 00:59:21,649
[Am I? Thx.]
847
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,105
[We can make it happen.]
848
00:59:24,106 --> 00:59:26,226
[Let's save the Earth by
stop using single-use items!]
849
00:59:27,981 --> 00:59:29,941
[Let's work together towards
a sustainable Earth.]
850
00:59:31,148 --> 00:59:32,397
[Your cheeks are so cute.]
851
00:59:32,398 --> 00:59:34,605
[May the shared warmth of those
who stand with you resonate well...]
852
00:59:34,606 --> 00:59:35,689
[You're so hotter in person.]
853
00:59:35,690 --> 00:59:38,690
So many of you said I'm pretty.
854
00:59:39,731 --> 00:59:42,940
I'm not, but thank you!
855
00:59:44,315 --> 00:59:46,730
Jesus...
856
00:59:46,731 --> 00:59:48,148
I'm so embarrassed.
857
00:59:50,065 --> 00:59:51,106
[I admire you!!]
858
00:59:52,481 --> 00:59:54,023
[Please go live again soon.]
859
00:59:59,523 --> 01:00:01,189
[Korea U goddess.jpg.]
860
01:00:01,190 --> 01:00:05,230
Plaster this with the title
"Korea U goddess" everywhere.
861
01:00:05,231 --> 01:00:09,189
Chick and dick gossip sites,
doesn't matter, just link her social.
862
01:00:09,190 --> 01:00:12,105
Isn't that a bit much
and all too sudden?
863
01:00:12,106 --> 01:00:14,105
What is?
864
01:00:14,106 --> 01:00:16,690
What if she clues in and goes dark?
865
01:00:20,690 --> 01:00:25,315
Guys, she'll never sus.
866
01:00:26,148 --> 01:00:29,689
She was raised by a
single dad after their divorce,
867
01:00:29,690 --> 01:00:35,980
and she's doing all these social stuff
because she's begging for daddy's approval.
868
01:00:35,981 --> 01:00:41,071
She's desperate for recognition, I
bet she's too drunk with attention.
869
01:00:41,072 --> 01:00:43,072
We got a psychoanalyst.
870
01:00:44,273 --> 01:00:47,064
I know girls like her too well.
871
01:00:47,065 --> 01:00:49,065

He was protesting
against defamation laws.

When she was getting bullied, we
wanted her to file defamation lawsuits.

is different from defamation, right?

Of course.

But that's not important to people.

had no online presence.
