Episode 168: The Core of Darkness (3)

[CEO Kim. Thank you very much.]

Reporter Lee Han-young's voice came from beyond the receiver. A high-pitched voice spoke his feelings openly.

However, it has been 10 minutes already, and I feel like my hands and feet are shrinking as I have been listening to words full of gratitude and praise for myself.

“Hey, what have I done? It’s all thanks to this reporter who wrote the article well.”

So I tried to throw the ball back at him.

[no. Without the data that CEO Kim sent, who would have thought of touching writer Shin Kyung-seung? So, it is as if the CEO has resolved this issue.]

He responded with an angry voice, as if it was unreasonable, and began to talk about how much repercussion this incident had created, and how much trust he had gained in the newspapers with this incident.

In the end, I gave up on covering his mouth.

"Well… .”

"Five… .”

"Ah… .”

"Yes… ”

Adding Chuimsae to his words, he had no choice but to think differently.

A few weeks ago, when I was in the midst of searching for data on Pi Hyeon-deuk, I could find an interesting article on the USB.

That's right.

[October OO, 2025. The case of plagiarism by Shin Kyung-seung. Press conference Q&A data]

About five years from now, an event that caused a big stir in the literary world. It was the plagiarism case of Shin Kyung-seung, the elder of the paragraph.

Of course, even until the first time I saw the data.

'uh? Nervous? Did that Shin Seung-seung in have an expression?’

Since I didn't have a direct interest in writer Shin Kyung-seung, I just looked at the material in a curious way and had no intention of planning anything with it.

If I was going to do something, I could have done it.

‘It’s going to explode in 5 years anyway, so why do I need to explode now?’

In fact, I didn't feel the need to touch it because I didn't have enough time to find the data about writer Pi Hyeon-deuk.

So just.

'I'll have something to write about later.'

I just took out the data and saved it, thinking that I might have something to write about someday.

Then a while ago.

[…] In the case of the 'J Literary Award' hosted by 'Company M', the works below the level are decided by the rogue forces including 'B writer'... (syncopation)… In order to liquidate these evils, it is necessary to break down the unjust hereditary structure of paragraph power. If not... ]

When I saw the article sent by the next CEO.

‘… This is it!’

I realized that that “someday” is now.

In order to take down Shin Seung-seung, who has already established a solid position with the strategy of ‘first-breadth victory’, at once, it was because he needed a bullet large and beautiful enough to pierce the people who were supporting him at once.

‘There is no such thing as plagiarism as a writer.’

Because of this, I collect the data in the USB.

[The darkness of idols, the fall of literature. The plagiarism of Mishika Yukiko by Shin Kyung-seung]

Through reporter Lee Han-young, the 'plagiarism case by Shin Kyung-seung' was brought forward by 5 years.

And as a result.

Even just a week ago.

[The last conscience of the paragraph ‘Writer Shin Kyung-seung’][Art by Shin Kyung-seung, the best-selling chart!]

[From to , writer Shin Kyung-seung's world of work]

Shin Seung-eun, who was evaluated as the last conscience of our time, the sniper of the paragraph, and a nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

[Syong-seung Shin plagiarism controversy… Kim Hyun 'This is the real fall']

[Controversy over plagiarism of Shin Shin-seung's 'Shinhwa', Mishika Yukiko's 'five tribes']

[The shocking paragraph… Where is the plagiarism case?]

.

.

He quickly became a distorted hero, earning criticism from people.

Well, it wasn't something that was able to provoke such a repercussion from the beginning.

Even when the first Korea Ilbo reporter Lee Han-young published an article based on the data I gave.

[Comment: Hey, what is this? Isn't this another foe's joke?]

[Comment: I'm just throwing it because I'm probably in a corner like that]

[Comment: You must not pay attention to this kind of powdery mildew]

Because people criticized reporter Lee Han-young and his article regardless of whether the article was true or not.

'People don't like to admit they're wrong. For some reason he feels like he's losing to others.'

But as if the flowing river cannot be stopped.

[Constant suspicion, Shin Kyung-seung Louise Anne also copied ‘the line in the middle of his life’]

Reporter Lee Han-young's continued article.

[Comment: Huh? Hey everyone, take a look at the article. Do you think that statement is correct?]

[Comment: Really? So did Shin Seung-seung really plagiarize?]

[Comment: I read the article as if it was a bummer, ordered the book and compared it, and it was no joke. It seems that I mainly plagiarized works from other countries to avoid getting caught]

People are starting to take an interest in it.

because.

… Their night was intense because both of them were indeed the owners of healthy young bodies... (syncopation)… When I wondered if it had been over a month since the first night, Reiko had already become a body that knew joy, and the lieutenant was also delighted with Reiko's change.

- Mishika Yukiko

… Both of them were owners of healthy bodies. Their night was intense. … (syncopation)… The woman has already become a body that knows joy. Into the pure beauty of a woman, her sensuality permeates fragrantly and richly… (syncopation)… Of course, it was the men who enjoyed the change the most.

Shin Kyung-seung

Anyone who has read the article at least once, or anyone who can think.

[Comment: This is so certain that it’s hard to even close your eyes?]

[Comment: My words. I have to do this for a while, I don’t know what to watch

[Comment: This part is the most certain, but if you look it up, you will find more.]

It was because the evidence of plagiarism was clear to the extent that I could no longer defend Shin Seong-seung.

of course in the meantime.

[Hangulle ‘Dilemma due to the controversy over Shin Kyung-suk… I can't conclude that it was intentionally copied']

Selling your conscience to the wholesale price.

[…] The description of the scene of awakening to sexual love that can occur during the marriage and newlyweds of a good man is a common subject, and it is not an original description that will influence the entire work. In our newspaper... ]

It wasn't that there weren't people who wanted to defend Shin Seong-seung.

[Comment: Hey... Do we not even recognize plagiarism?]

[Comment: Wow, look at how they treat dogs and pigs. I've known this for a long time, but... It's bittersweet]

[Comment: I hear that reality is more like a novel than a novel. Hey you bastards! Because you guys are like this, you hear the giraffes!]

Rather, the more articles like that came out, the more people criticized it.

‘Because a novelist who plagiarizes is like a swindler.’

And as a result.

‘This paper has agreed on the fact that there is enough literal similarity to cause a plagiarism controversy in the work of writer Shin Kyung-seung… … .'

Hangulle raised the white flag first.

‘Because people’s criticism was huge.’

However, even after the apology was published, the critical public opinion did not subside.

No, rather than before the apology was posted, the voices of criticism towards Hanbrie grew louder.

because.

'But at the same time, I judge that it cannot be concluded that such a similarity is a deliberate copying... In the midst of that, I could only be sure that the author kept certain 'basic' with difficulty. That attitude of adhering to the 'basic' was a customized target for many critics... .'

‘… So I understand that writer Shin Kyung-seung made every effort to preserve the dignity of Korean literature and human courtesy... ’

This was because Hangulle's apology was not an apology, but a death sentence.

OK.

‘The newspaper has already become a body that knows the number of subscribers… Of course, Shin Seung-seung was the one who enjoyed the change of the publishing company the most.’

‘It’s been about a month since I became an unpaid intern. My body had already become a body that knew Passion Pay. Of course, the one who was most pleased with my change was the president.’

'It's been about two months since I returned. I have already become familiar with chicken. Of course, the one who rejoiced the most about my change was the CEO of Gyechon Chicken.’

In a tone that seemed to be defending their past, people showed their anger through satire and humor.

So naturally.

[Comment: Hey. So what happens to the things Shin Shin-seung revealed?]

[Comment: Huh... Is that so? What are those people then?]

[Comment: Should I shed some light on this?]

Under the leadership of Shin Seong-seung and Han Gulre, those who had been turned around are beginning to be re-examined.

[Shock! Most of the revelations of writer Shin Kyung-seung turned out to be false!]

[Dreyfus of our time… ‘The culprit is all of us’]

[The fall of the Hangule that dreamed of ‘L’Aurore’ in Korea]

It was revealed one after another that most of Shin's revelations were based on lies from the beginning.

When the situation became like this, Shin Kyung-seung, who was waiting for the situation to calm down while refraining from contact with the media, appeared in front of the public.

he appeared.

[…] Paragraphs, the big press, and the public opinion the big press has poisoned, everything is hostile to me. But my heart is so peaceful. I will win... (syncopation)… I might be convicted here today. However, the day will surely come when I will be grateful to Korea for saving its honor.]

Through an article in the Hangule newspaper, he appealed his innocence with a bloody cry, and seemed to try to turn the situation around.

[comment : … what? Are you going to come out now and say you're innocent?]

[Comment: It's ridiculous. That yangban is like that until the very end]

[Comment: Ehehe, I’m in tears, I’m in tears]

The trend was long gone.

No, on the contrary, countless people who felt “deep anger” at his shameless appeal were mass-produced.

[The error of Shin Seung-seung can be summarized in the following four points. First, it was plagiarism that should never be done. Second, he did not sincerely apologize even though it was discovered, which caused the reader's anger. Third, plagiarism is not uncommon, it is habitual. Fourth, the fact that he plagiarized the work of the Japanese far-right writer Yukiko Mishika who defended militarism… ]

Even the writers who were holding their breath, the people involved in the literary scene, and the people who were watching, trembled with a sense of betrayal and joined the criticism with one heart and one accord.

OK.

[Shin Kyung-seung, ‘I don’t remember reading, but I can’t believe my memory’?][Shin Kyung-seung's plagiarism controversy, 'Japanese work, copied as it is' shameless Shichimi]

[Shin Seung-seung, apologize and discard or collect plagiarized works]

.

.

Except for Hangul, other newspapers also stopped losing Shin Kyung-seung and Hangul. He poured out intense criticism as if he was trying to revive the mistakes he had made in the past, and he dissected a single human named Shin Seung-seung.

And finally.

[Prosecutors, Shin Kyung-sook investigation begins! Hangulle also withdraws his advocacy speech!]

The judiciary has made a decision.

Well, after that, it was a breeze.

Because Shin Seong-seung, Hangul, and various figures in the paragraph who supported them were all-rounded, and lawsuits from those who were attacked were lined up.

'Perhaps all the books on the market are being sorted out.'

When I was thinking about what happened in the past week like that for a while.

[…] Anyway, thanks to those yangbans, it seems that the number of people who do strange things has decreased. It seems that everyone is very careful because they are all seriously burned.]

Reporter Lee Han-young's voice was heard.

I nodded.

As reporter Lee Han-young said, it was not that there was no pure function at all.

“Yeah, well, if there are people who go through something like that and do nonsense, that would be great.”

[Hmm... is that so. Well, it's a little sad though. It would have been better if this situation had been a little longer... I say.]

No, this guy?

Let me pause for a moment at Lee Han-young's absurd remarks.

[Haha, this is a joke. I'm not a giraffe, do you really want something like that?]

Lee Han-young starts to tremble as if she realized her mistake. And it seems like he's going to change the topic of the conversation right away.

[By the way, CEO, I heard a strange rumor these days... Um, can I tell you this?]

I started to come up with something different.

Hmm... It's a rumor.

Still, there were a lot of rumors circulating these days.

Apparently, after this incident, as more and more people declared their necessity, whether voluntarily or voluntarily, a change in perception within a paragraph was essential.

“What rumors?”

[that is… that… There are rumors circulating that the remaining mock test and love test this year may be postponed again.]

Ah, what were you trying to say? It seems that I heard from somewhere about the remaining mock exams and CSAT this year.

In fact, it was not surprising that rumors like this were circulating, as many of the writers who committed corruption by defending Shin Seong-seung or Shin Seung-seung were elders in the Korean literary world.

“Are there any rumors like that?”

[Yes. Probably because Shin Seung-seung and other yangbans had some names. So, I thought it would be good for the CEO to prepare a little... ]

what a thank you For Lee Han-young, it was nothing like giving me one of his sauces for free.

However.

"Fine."

In that case, I was prepared to prepare more quickly and surely than anyone else in the world.

Because there was something I wouldn't change even if the Korea Meteorological Administration bought 1 million supercomputers.

I smiled softly and opened my mouth.

“If that’s the case, we’ve already prepared everything.”
