Ch.332This is how it turns out

The filming itself wasn’t particularly difficult.

From the beginning, that was the nature of the YouTube channel content “Hong Cheonseok’s Jewelry District.”

A handsome guest would appear.

Literally have their appearance appraised like a jewel.

And then the guest would talk about what they wanted to promote or share some personal stories.

It was primarily talk-based content.

Of course.

“…Cheonseok hyung, aren’t you getting too close to my face?”

“Oh my, Donghu, I heard you don’t even go to a dermatologist, but how is your skin so radiant and baby-like?”

“Ahaha.”

The talk itself was definitely different and unfamiliar.

New experiences are good, but.

I know it’s entertainment and broadcasting.

‘It’s just the psychological pressure…’

How should I put it?

I thought it might be more comfortable to face destiny than this.

“And such thick hair! This is crazy, I can’t find any flaws. Your facial features are in golden ratio too… They say it’s impossibly perfect from a physiognomy perspective?”

“Really? That’s the first time I’ve heard that.”

“You don’t need to know, you don’t need to know, because you’re alreaaady too perfect!”

The definite reactions that came with each word I spoke.

Thanks to these reactions, my stiff and tense tongue gradually loosened up.

“No, I’m not perfect. There are things I can’t do.”

“Things you can’t do? Oh my, what could our Donghu possibly not be able to do!”

“Things I haven’t tried.”

Ooooooooh.

As soon as I finished speaking, exclamations followed from Cheonseok hyung and the production staff.

This wasn’t the reaction I was expecting, so I was a bit taken aback.

‘I thought they might object here… or the joke would fall flat and kill the mood.’

My joke, intended to put the brakes on the rising tension,

was met with everyone flowing along the lines of “Yes, that’s exactly right for Kim Donghu.”

“That’s right, that’s right! He’s good at everything he tries… acting, singing, honestly there’s no need to even mention it!”

Cheonseok hyung seemed to have firmly grasped the direction of the talk.

He stared at me intently and continued speaking.

‘Really… is this really not the work of destiny, but rather a situation created by the Sims – Real Life special feature? Right?’

I was momentarily startled by his intense gaze.

But maintaining my composure, I tried to continue the conversation.

However.

“Well, since we’re on this topic! I should properly experience our Donghu, shouldn’t I?!”

What?

Suddenly “properly experience” me?

While I was still confused by that statement,

Cheonseok hyung suddenly stood up and assumed a stance.

A taekwondo poomsae stance, you could say?

Anyway, after taking that stance, Cheonseok hyung:

“Donghuuu! Give me one low kick!”

Under the pretext of wanting to properly experience(?) me, he asked for a low kick.

“S-suddenly?”

“No, looking at you like this, I feel like we need something intense!”

Tap.

As he said that, Cheonseok hyung lightly tapped my shoulder with his fingertip.

At that moment, I genuinely felt my body flinch.

Was I unconsciously feeling fear?

Me?

‘Me, currently the strongest human on earth… afraid of an adult man?’

That’s impossible.

That shouldn’t happen.

‘What is this… like some Hanma Baki situation?’

After randomly reciting the situation like a script in my mind,

I immediately composed myself.

A desperate attempt to shake off fear.

Samson’s struggle to break his chains.

The ultimate low kick stance for this.

A technique that was once very popular in action thrill games.

‘The strongest low kick in history.’

I’ll deliver it properly to overcome my fear.

Of course, it’s just a joke.

I built up some momentum, and then.

“W-wait a minute! Donghu! You’re not really going to kick at full force, are you?!”

“H-hot-blooded as you said, but actually 10%, right? That’s right, isn’t it?!”

“D-Donghuuu…!”

The staff and Cheonseok hyung urgently clung to me.

Of course, since it was WWE:

“Yes, I’m just taking this stance and will stop before kicking, reducing the power to 10%.”

“Th-that’s right?”

“This swinging motion would be good for cutting into Shorts later. Haha, I’m sorry. I should have explained beforehand.”

“Ah, ah, r-right?!”

I smiled and diffused the atmosphere.

Without hesitation, I immediately raised my leg.

After taking a breath.

“Cheonseok hyung! Experience me properly!!!”

“W-wait… D-Donghu! I-it seems like it’s going to hurt too much even though I haven’t been hit yet….”

Precisely the outside of the thigh.

I aimed my shin bone at the right lateral quadriceps.

Bam!

Not even 10%, but exactly 3%.

I stopped right before impact to reduce the power to the extreme.

And from there, instead of hitting immediately, I waited 3 seconds and then tapped.

Of course, since I kicked without even rotating my leg:

‘It probably won’t hurt as much as expected?’

That’s what I thought, but.

“Aaaaaaaargh!”

An enormous scream erupted in the filming location.

++++++

After the low kick, Kim Donghu gave Hong Cheonseok a leg massage.

Hong Cheonseok also gave Kim Donghu a massage, and the filming continued smoothly.

Later.

“Oh my, so we’re dating now?”

“You could see it that way.”

Kim Donghu continued filming his YouTube video.

Since it was obvious that going anywhere would cause a stir,

he couldn’t really go anywhere specific.

And because time suddenly became tight, they just moved directly to the Veritas building.

Originally, he wanted to do various things, but.

“We can meet again next time, so today I was thinking we could work out together, how about it?”

“Oh my… oh my… so we’re going upper body naked today, Donghu?!”

“We have to.”

Due to their schedule issues, they decided to proceed with light fitness content.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they’re doing it halfheartedly.

They boldly took off their upper garments to show the heat of exercise intensely.

“Oh my, Donghu, even your sweat flows sexily.”

“Yours too, hyung.”

“Help spot me for squats. Press right up against me.”

“….”

It turned into that kind of atmosphere, different from what was intended, when with Cheonseok hyung.

“Cheonseok hyung, aren’t you going to spot?”

“I don’t want to disturb Donghu’s workout, and with 300kg, spotting would actually be more dangerous. Seokho, you really don’t know anything.”

“Haha, well… compared to Donghu, I’m just at a kid’s level.”

“Who isn’t? That level of workout is best left alone.”

It might be better to just be overshadowed.

After working out intensely like that.

“Donghu, when are you going to upload the video?”

“In about a week? That’s when I plan to. It takes time to edit and all.”

“Then we’ll upload ours the day after that.”

“Yes, I’d appreciate that.”

“No need, I’m more grateful that you appeared like this.”

After perfectly coordinating their schedules,

time passed quickly to the next week.

The video was released, and.

“Donghu! Did you see the news article?!”

“What?”

“It’s amazing right now! Public opinion is so good!”

An unexpected variable appeared.

+++++++

Recently, PC groups hadn’t been viewing Kim Donghu very favorably.

The reason was obviously the media play by the Iron Core production team.

Not only did he openly compete with PC works,

he even said he was involved in casting.

ㄴIs Kim Donghu completely excluding people of color?

ㄴㄴBut that doesn’t make sense, Kim Donghu is a person of color himself, isn’t this nonsense?

ㄴㄴㄴ(Comment deleted by administrator)

ㄴBlocked for saying strange things

ㄴNice

Some PC groups began claiming that Kim Donghu “hates PC.”

Creating this controversy to somehow force The Ark Born to include PC elements.

This blatantly intentional effort:

Was quite effective.

Because looking at Kim Donghu’s works so far, there were no PC elements at all.

ㄴWait, you talk about diversity but Kim Donghu is Asian, and having an Asian lead is what you call PC, so what’s the hate about?

ㄴㄴ(Comment deleted by administrator)

ㄴBlocked immediately for talking nonsense

ㄴThe admin is the best

Eventually.

ㄴLooking at Kim Donghu’s co-stars, they’re all pretty and handsome, almost all white

They even dragged in works where he had no casting involvement.

They created the narrative that “Kim Donghu always favors beautiful people and completely ignores PC.”

They used that as a weapon to attack The Ark Born.

But then.

-“Aaaaargh! D-Donghuuu! I feel like my thigh is on fire. Is it torn?!”

-“Ah, ah… I’m sure it was only 5%…?!”

-“M-massage me! Massage! H-help meee!”

A certain YouTube video was directly refuting those claims.

What? Who appeared with Kim Donghu?

Hong Cheonseok? The most famous gay man in Korea? The most dangerous hyung in the world?

What’s that about.

They didn’t know the detailed background, but

they realized that Kim Donghu had appeared on YouTube with a sexual minority.

At first, they were ready to attack if there was even a slight hint of discrimination.

But what’s this?

-“Donghu, even your sweat flows sexily.”

-“You’re no joke either, hyung. Should I wipe it for you?”

-“Y-your sweat?!”

-“Just kidding.”

-“Donghu, if you keep joking like this, I might get really upset.”

Far from discrimination, their chemistry was too good.

They bantered back and forth appropriately, you could say?

And it wasn’t just one video, but two.

The second one, even excluding the thigh-hitting part,

was quite suggestive.

To be precise, you could say the intention to fulfill gay desires was evident?

-“Donghu, so we’re meeting privately now too?”

-“What?! Ah… sure! Let’s meet for drinks!”

And he handled that well too.

Not showing any signs of discomfort at all.

Laughing and chatting with a face that seemed to wonder why he should be uncomfortable.

As a result.

ㄴWhy are they saying Kim Donghu hates PC? It doesn’t seem that way at all.

ㄴHe just dislikes how media claims to be PC while ruining original works and forcing us to call unattractive people beautiful

Naturally, the PC groups started facing backlash.

Kim Donghu had simply filmed and uploaded a video with Hong Cheonseok.

Yet it automatically served as a perfect counter to Iron Core.

From this point, The Ark Born, which had been criticized until now, began gaining supportive public opinion.

“So this is how it turns out.”

Could even this have been calculated by Sims?

Once again, Kim Donghu was amazed by his brilliance today.
