By evening, the media monitoring continued, and the public’s obsession with the junket room scandal showed no signs of dying down.
└ "Damn, I was really looking forward to her upcoming movie. This is f*cking ridiculous."
└ "What the hell, TenTen? Your comeback is literally around the corner!"
└ "Sh*t, without Bang Ja-wook, who's gonna carry the Blue Dragons? There goes our autumn baseball hopes. ㅠ"
└ "What do you mean? It’s f*cked."
└ (Insert meme of something crashing and burning.)
└ "Dude, just Google it. Are your fingers just for decoration?"
└ "It’s basically a VIP gambling den for high-rollers, mostly for overseas gamblers. But now people just use the term for any illegal high-stakes gambling operation."
└ "Yeah, it's always the same—the poor stay poor, the rich keep getting richer."
The second was White Gold and Baekgeum-pa.
└ "Maybe they ran out of money."
└ "Wait, is there some political scandal going on right now?"
└ "Yeah, no randoms in that mix. LOL."
Jo Jin-hwi, keeping an eye on the discussions, commented:
"Everyone’s attention is locked on Baekgeum-pa and the junket rooms."
Su-ho nodded.
"Because everything else has already been exposed. The only mystery left is this. People won’t stop speculating until the prosecution makes an official statement."
"What about Son Baek-geum?"
"He’ll show up when the prosecution calls him in."
That meant he’d have to go to the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office.
This entire case had originated in Suwon, so it had to be handled there.
That way, Kim Seung-hwan could keep things under control.
Once Son Baek-geum was dragged into the spotlight, it would be the perfect moment to reveal the redevelopment cartel scandal alongside Park Gyu-min’s involvement.
Jo Jin-hwi nodded.
"Should we publish the Park Gyu-min article now?"
Su-ho smirked.
"Let’s do it."
At this point, everything had been sufficiently warmed up.
