In Any Case, You Have to Open the Lid to Know (2)

Where did I read it?

That Han Yujin has anti-criticism rights.

That they would issue her a lifetime pass to avoid criticism.

Just a few days ago, people were sucking up to me like that. They were. I’m sure they were.

…Damn.

[Comments continue to express disbelief and criticism about Han Yujin’s claim]

It was all lies!

Even a single stroke of the chat text is vicious.

By my perception, everyone is not only disbelieving my words but ready to brand me a witch and stab me with a bamboo spear. Except for just one person.

Except for the viewer called Level 99, everyone has turned their backs on me.

How many viewers are there now?

I turn my head and my jaw drops.

82,431 people.

The number of viewers keeps soaring, as if word has spread from somewhere.

The current situation is exactly this…

2 vs 82,430.

How should I overcome an army of over eighty thousand?

Just then, another donation rang out.

‘Lv99’ donated 10,000 won!

-It’s possible

Seeing that, the corners of my mouth rose to my ears.

“Right! It’s possible!”

I rolled up my sleeves and turned on the drawing board. I explained in detail the tent setup method I had in mind.

“Everyone’s misunderstanding right now. Of course, it’s impossible for an adult man to lift it with strength alone. But we’re humans, right? We should use science!”

[Comments mock Han Yujin’s enthusiasm and scientific claims]

“Ah, just listen for a moment.”

The rough composition of a 24-person tent is like this:

Ground pins that firmly secure the tent from the outside. The ridge pole that supports the top of the tent horizontally, acting as a beam. And two upright poles that support that ridge pole.

After assembling the upright poles and ridge pole, how does one adult man raise this support structure alone?

That’s the main point of contention in this tent debate.

“So, how to raise this central support, that’s what you want to know, right?”

[Comments agree that this is the key issue]

“Everyone. Like Columbus standing an egg on its end, we need a change of perspective now.”

I continued to explain my thoughts.

First, pitch the tent low and secure it firmly with ground pins and rocks. Then assemble the ridge pole and upright poles inside the tent and…

“This is the important part. The tent is low, right? You drape the assembled support over the tent. Then the tension of the tent will pull tightly and bear that weight.”

What I wanted to say was simple.

That the lowered tent helps support the support structure together.

‘Man of the Nose’ donated 1,000 won!

-What do you do after draping it over the tent?

“From then on, since the support is slanted and resting on the tent, you slowly lift it up and set it upright!”

After my explanation finished, the viewers’ mockery started again.

[Comments continue to express disbelief and criticism]

My face reflected in the cam was flushed red like a peach.

Ah, this is really annoying.

If I could, I’d like to prove it right now!

I…

I…

Couldn’t prove it because my body had deteriorated to a 3-0 record.

Just then.

‘Lv99’ donated 10,000 won!

-Wow you’re much smarter than you look Now I see you have wisdom, virtue, and physique… Maybe not physique? Since you’re 3-0 haha

[Comments react to Lv99’s backhanded compliment]

“…Hey. You should be on my side, not the viewers’!”

‘Lv99’ donated 10,000 won!

-OK viewers, let’s do this then I’ll provide the 24-person tent and location and pitch it for you. Let’s set the date for two days from now. I can’t free up any other day.

Two days from now? That’s Tuesday.

I’ll be in the military then…

“Can’t we postpone it to the week after next? I’ll be filming then.”

‘Lv99’ donated 10,000 won!

-I have my reasons for needing to do it then. You’ll probably dance with joy when you find out why hehe

“…Okay. Do as you please.”

Can I really trust this person?

Somehow the drawling way of speaking and middle-aged vibe doesn’t seem very reliable.

And then.

Another viewer who had been vehemently insisting it’s impossible to pitch the tent alone sent a donation.

‘Ammo Squad Leader’ donated 10,000 won!

-haha you’re crazy for real I’ll rent the tent so if you can’t do it you pay for the tent? Want to bet money too?

‘Lv99’ donated 10,000 won!

-Do as you like haha I’ll always say the same thing: “It’s possible”.

Seeing them argue, I clicked my tongue regretfully.

Because I have to go to the military and miss this incredibly fun self-strengthening battle.

For now, I received both people’s contact information through the manager chat.

I saved Ammo Squad Leader’s contact first, and when I tried to save Level 99’s phone number next.

[This contact is already saved.]

“…Huh?”

I checked Level 99’s identity.

I could understand why this person was insisting on Tuesday.

CSA’s company building. Even though it was the weekend, the office lights were on brightly.

The light was bright, but a dark worry sat quietly on Jang Bongyu’s face.

He swallowed a dry sigh from his tightly closed lips and looked around the community. His hand holding the tablet tensed.

(Video of HaYoo’s statement)

[The post describes Han Yujin’s claim about pitching the tent alone and the ensuing debate]

Jang Bongyu rubbed his dry face.

He had already searched other communities, but it was the same.

Regardless of age, all male-dominated communities were burning up with this topic.

‘There’s never a peaceful day because of our Han Yujin client.’

As a former soldier himself, he could understand how absurd Han Yujin’s claim was.

But after hearing Han Yujin’s explanation, he also felt a faint hope that it might be possible.

As conflicting emotions were swirling.

The phone on the desk vibrated with a buzz.

As soon as Jang Bongyu answered, sparks flew from his mouth.

“Ms. Han Yujin! You’re causing accidents in bunches! I thought you were laying golden eggs, but this is just laying sand! Wise Jang is disappointed once again…!”

-Agent nim.

Han Yujin’s voice mixed with aegyo softened Jang Bongyu’s anger.

-Don’t worry. I think the tent will be pitched. It turns out the Level 99 person is an acquaintance of mine.

“…An acquaintance?”

Jang Bongyu’s raccoon-like eyebrows rose gently.

“Who is it that they’re so confident?”

-It’s not exactly confidence…

Han Yujin cleared her throat and said.

-There’s a PD called Kim Hwachang. He’s a bit of a shabby middle-aged man, but he’s not the type to lie.

It was a name Jang Bongyu knew too.

He had dined with him before, arranged by Min Doyeon, who was like his patron.

Only then did he realize why that man had insisted on Tuesday.

‘Because “Human Life” starring Han Yujin starts airing from Wednesday, he wants to promote that…!’

Having grasped the whole situation, Jang Bongyu laughed happily.

“Hahaha! Ms. Han Yujin, you’re really amazing. You are laying golden eggs after all.”

-That’s funny. You were yelling so loudly earlier. Anyway, so…

Han Yujin said confidently.

-Please make this as big as possible. As big as you can.
