Ch.342As if it were all too obvious

To start with the conclusion.

“Donghu, are you really going to hold a press conference? Should I prepare for it?”

“No, there’s no need for that.”

“Hmm? We’re not doing it?”

“Right, if you wait a bit, everything will change dramatically. Everything.”

“Huh? Everything? Don’t tell me you’re… seeing this as an opportunity?”

“That’s right.”

We didn’t hold a press conference.

I didn’t want to put a period on this scandal that was heating up.

‘I’ve really grown up.’

In the past, I would have responded as quickly as possible just in case.

But now I know that’s not always the right answer.

‘With an issue like this, having the person involved step up and address the controversy? That would be stupid.’

Instead, now is the time to enjoy this moment.

Just continue with daily life as usual, and instead create an atmosphere of “Since he’s not saying anything, could this be true?”

Silence is affirmation.

If I stay quiet until this phrase takes 100% effect…

“Kim Donghu’s Five-Way Relationship Controversy?”

“Polyamory or Cheating, Is Kim Donghu the Century’s Casanova?”

The articles will…

“Cheating or Not, What If It’s Not Cheating?”

“Five Women Needed to Handle Kim Donghu? Analysis of Kim Donghu’s Stamina!”

“The Connection with These Top-tier Women, Where Did It All Begin?”

Naturally evolve to…

“Implicit Polygamous Marriage Announcement? Kim Donghu Is Smiling”

“Should We Let Him Go to a Country That Allows Polygamy or Keep Him Here? Public Opinion on Polygamy ‘Rapidly Becoming Positive'”

“All Six People ‘Silent’ About the Situation, Does That Mean Affirmation?”

“Brand Effect Suddenly Rising Due to the Scandal? ‘Companies Absolutely Cannot Let Go of Kim Donghu'”

“If There’s a Controversy, Please Release Kim Donghu, Love Calls Pouring In from Those Eyeing His Vacant Contracts!”

That’s why I didn’t respond.

After the scandal broke.

Exactly 24 hours passed without any response.

My name was appearing consistently across all portal sites.

Top of the real-time search trends.

At this point, I was consuming all the attention on every portal site.

‘To be precise, all six of us are consuming it.’

And the good thing about this situation is…

“The viral marketing is insane, Donghu. All your previous works are naturally becoming popular again!”

“Really? And it’s not just mine, right? It’s happening for everyone?”

“Ah, yes! That’s right! It’s happening for everyone! This is crazy!”

People were rewatching.

Not just my past works, but also those of the five women who appeared with me.

+++++++

They weren’t just watching casually.

They were watching intensely and adding their own theories.

[Have Kim Donghu and Kim Sujin been dating since Running Man? (Data-based)]

-Looking back, he wasn’t just soft on Sujin for no reason, he was taking care of his woman

-This crazy guy is so sweet

ㄴBut looking at the timeline, they weren’t dating from then, they must have been dating before appearing

ㄴCan’t say they were dating, maybe just a thing? Or maybe just aware of each other

ㄴSuch a spicy innocent romance hehehe

ㄴHave they been building a connection since meeting on Hehe Doctor at age 5?

ㄴChildhood sweethearts do exist

ㄴㄴBut if it’s five relationships, does that mean harem sweethearts exist too?

ㄴㄴㄴYou crazy bastard, take that back right now

ㄴㄴㄴPlease provide your home address for the event prize

[So Kim Donghu x Ryu Jaerin in Will You Marry Me? wasn’t random after all lolololol]

-It was just straight-up evidence

-Or did they start from then too?

ㄴDidn’t they do that school uniform modeling together? What was it called…

ㄴㄴBrilliant, yeah. They’re in the uniform business now

ㄴFact) Kim Donghu and Ryu Jaerin were in the same daycare class

ㄴLegendary incident occurred

ㄴWhat does that even mean?

[Wait, is this why Bloombell didn’t keep pushing the bride concept?]

-Everyone knows idols date anyway

-They’ll all date and get married eventually, so to avoid fans feeling betrayed by fake romance marketing?

ㄴThe funny thing is during the Kim Donghu-Ryu Jaerin marriage show, everyone was like “if it’s Kim Donghu, that’s acceptable”

ㄴㄴTrue, everyone had the attitude of “it’s Kim Donghu so dating is possible”

ㄴIt seems contrived but in the end it’s just “it’s fine because it’s Kim Donghu”

[When did Shin Yerim start dating him then?]

-The timing is really ambiguous, but maybe because they’re middle school classmates?

ㄴWatch your language about “when they started”

ㄴThe mods will delete this kind of stuff anyway

ㄴㄴKim Donghu’s biggest fan and Robin, wow

ㄴThey were under the same agency originally anyway

[Now when playing the balance game we need to add “excluding Kim Donghu’s position”]

-Kim Sujin vs Ryu Jaerin debates are all meaningless now

ㄴTa-da! But a man who can have both has appeared?

ㄴEven the exceptional model Shin Yerim too, wow

ㄴWhy isn’t this WWE?

ㄴYou’ve opened your eyes

ㄴWhy is this real!!!

[For Evelyn, it’s obviously been since Tarzan]

-During Tarzan they were just like, huh? Let’s make it Tarzan and Jane hehehe

ㄴBut what was that? I forgot the name… Strength? Some magazine?

ㄴㄴIsn’t Strength a military magazine?

ㄴㄴIt’s GOT lol

ㄴAnyway, they probably had some connection there too

ㄴThat doesn’t make sense, it must have been from Tarzan for sure

[For Chisako, she was just such a huge Donghu fan there’s nothing specific]

-She just loved Donghu too much from the beginning

ㄴFacts

ㄴThey must have worked on several projects together? Japanese dubbing and stuff

ㄴBut looking at this pattern, did he seduce everyone he worked with?

ㄴㄴThat’s not it, if that were the case Kim Donghu would be dating over a hundred people lol

ㄴㄴExactly lol

ㄴㄴIf Kim Donghu deliberately tried to seduce someone, who wouldn’t fall for him

ㄴKim Donghu isn’t gay, but he makes people gay

Everyone was eagerly analyzing on their own.

And to do that analysis, they were rewatching old video footage.

And to refute those analyses, others were watching too.

As this cycle continued.

Naturally, the stock value of the six people currently in the spotlight kept rising.

Usually when a scandal breaks, people think of downfall.

But as I’ve said several times, that wasn’t the case here.

[So Kim Donghu is having a 6P?]

-He can handle all of them by himself?

ㄴOh, come to think of it, didn’t they all cheer for him from the waiting room when he fought Zain Lance?

ㄴWhy didn’t I notice this?

ㄴㄴBecause it wasn’t shown, the first comment is just speculation, they don’t reveal much about the athletes’ situations

ㄴㄴBut kind of like Tyson, before the match he just…

ㄴㄴHey if you cross the line any further?????

ㄴㄴI hear he stopped precisely at the line without crossing it~ lol

[But do they all know about each other’s existence?]

-Kim Donghu alone, is real life a light novel?

-Not just domestic but worldwide S-class ultra-beauties surrounding him

ㄴ”Surrounding” sounds a bit lewd

ㄴㄴYou’re crazy, not this

ㄴCatfight becoming reality

[Why harem romance actually exists]

-Seeing Kim Donghu steadily dating five women and preparing for marriage, it’s possible

ㄴHarem romance exists

ㄴThat’s not romance, you devil

ㄴChildhood harem romance exists

ㄴThat’s not romance, you madman

[This makes all those distribution endings in fiction even more annoying lol]

-Even reality doesn’t distribute, ugh

ㄴThe male lead isn’t Kim Donghu~

ㄴㄴIn fiction, don’t distribute because it feels terrible

ㄴㄴBut in reality it’s possible to keep them all

ㄴFeels like Roland’s descendant seeing the floating island actually exist

Since Kim Donghu’s basic stance was “planning to take responsibility for everyone.”

The news and media couldn’t help but flow in a very positive direction.

First of all, it wasn’t cheating.

And if they all want to be together because they like each other.

Frankly, what right does anyone have to judge whether that’s good or bad?

ㄴThose calling it immoral are funny, what’s immoral about it? lol

ㄴHow is openly dating multiple people immoral?

ㄴThey always say “in the West~” when it suits them, but now they’re being super conservative

ㄴUnfold your arms if you don’t want to die

Of course, there were some critical opinions.

But they were quickly suppressed.

ㄴKim Donghu is a true alpha male

ㄴA faithful “real man” who protects his family

ㄴThe Kim Donghu Encyclopedia can just be erased and replaced with one line now?

ㄴㄴSeriously, “A man who can take responsibility for five women” title complete

ㄴIf Donghu has two children with each, he’ll almost have a soccer team

ㄴCan’t believe there’s actually a man who can do that with his own children

ㄴHe’s insane

ㄴHe feels like a king

And in this flow.

Reporters were moving quickly, eager to capture a single word from Kim Donghu.

They couldn’t approach him on the Hollywood set due to work interference.

But due to Kim Donghu’s characteristic of traveling between countries for schedules.

He inevitably had to stop at airports.

So reporters waited at the airport entrance for that one definitive shot.

Did their efforts pay off?

Screech!

“It’s Kim Donghu!”

“He’s here! He’s here!”

Foreign and domestic alike.

All media outlets around the world that wanted to cover Kim Donghu gathered.

They thrust their microphones toward the van carrying Kim Donghu.

Click click click click click.

The crazy flashing lights were just a bonus.

Just as the airport entrance was about to descend into chaos.

“Everyone be quiet and form a line. Don’t disturb others, this is a space everyone uses.”

Everyone followed orders from the current strongest human on earth.

No one was brave enough to charge forward thinking “He wouldn’t hit a reporter, would he?”

If the worst-case scenario happened.

The fear of being killed by Kim Donghu in one blow was engraved in their souls.

Anyway.

After the reporters formed a line to avoid inconveniencing others.

“J-just one word…!”

“You’ve been silent about the whole situation, please give us one clear statement!”

They poured out their pent-up questions.

And Kim Donghu, listening to those questions.

“Ah, about that.”

As if it were too obvious.

“Of course it’s true. They’re all going to marry me.”

He calmly confessed the facts.

And that day.

ㄴ???????????????????

ㄴWHAT THE ACTUAL??????????

News of Kim Donghu’s marriage struck the world again.
