Plus it had absolutely no relevance to the movie which was what the interview was for.
I think it’s also the sujeong group pushing for it, trying to push all the heat onto gongja. Media manipulation and all that. Though it’s okay, since his mom is gonna fight back and fix it!
I get that. But even if it is the plot of the rich family, it’s still crazy that the article was written and framed that way about a small child. I don’t remember exactly, plus his age is a little ambiguous because of the adoption, but I think he’s around 3/4/5 years old. Irl wouldn’t you just laugh if someone was seriously writing an article like that about a preschooler? Even if I’m a bit off with his age and he’s actually a kindergartner or a first grader, still makes the situation ridiculous. But you’re right, I can’t wait to see mama getting her revenge!
Weird part is that there was a grown adults who did something similar to a child. Some time back, a guy tried to frame a little boy wearing face paint at a football game as a r@cist partaking in blackface and wearing a native American headdress. They even cut off the other half of the face paint that was red to make it seem like it.
The crazy part is that the kid was actually Native American—not just Native American, but his grandpa was one of the chairperson of their tribe. His family sued.
So, people like this do unfortunately exist in reality.
Carron Phillips. He's the grown man who tried to destroy a 9 year old boy for clicks.
Yeah definitely. They probably also got a ton of marketing accounts to push it and fake comments to agree with the article. They probably also delete or shadow ban any comments that call out the article. That way, they can control how the situation is being seen in the media, and when it seems like everybody is agreeing with an opinion, there are some that get swayed into believing it too, no matter how insane it sounds.
(Happens a lot in real life haha… I’m so sad…)
Wooooowwww… honestly i have no words. That’s so ridiculous
That article is crazy. Framing him as flippant and evasive when mc is a child. And not just a child, he isn’t even old enough to start school yet. (Either that or he’s being home schooled off screen, but no school talk has been shown.) I know his character is reincarnated so mentally he’s not a child, but the reporter doesn’t know that. So by all appearances, they’re questioning a child.
Plus the journalist wants him to answer questions about a crime his adoptive relative committed. And a relative that, as far as we know, he still hasn’t even met. (As far as we’ve seen, he’s met the embezzler’s wife and son, who are the cousin and the abusive aunt. And he’s met his grandma, but no one else.)
