Spilling Heaven's Secrets
The showdown between Sonik-jwa and Stock Teacher.
Its conclusion turned out so hollow it was almost laughable.
Just checking the stock price was enough.
Irrefutable evidence. No way around it.
…….
Defeat.
But as far as Stock Teacher was concerned, he honestly couldn't care less. He hadn't bought any of the stock himself. All he needed was to soak up a moderate amount of hate and farm the view counts.
What's the price right now lmao
Freefalling from 60,800 without a single bounce……
.
.
.
That was no longer possible.
The YouTube comment section was on fire.
How the hell was I supposed to know it would just freefall like that?!
This wasn't some random penny stock. This was Osung Electronics. A mega-corporation on the scale of a mid-sized country. Earnings beat every single quarter. The company wasn't even overvalued.

Under normal circumstances, those excuses would have worked. Uploading the rebuttal videos had been a self-inflicted wound.
Fuck, this isn't working.
Comment-section public opinion had been gutted. Subscriber bleed was looking serious. For Stock Teacher, this was the worst-case scenario. He had been preparing a paid lecture series. The effort and money poured into it wasn't pocket change.
Click, clack!
He'd hired a professional film crew. And as the bear market dragged on, even he was growing more pessimistic by the day.
If this thing actually hits 30k Electronics…
The bull market had drawn a flood of new people into investing. And in a bear market? Retail participation would shrink—that much was obvious. Which meant the lecture hustle would flop too.
Stock Teacher's hands trembled. After long deliberation, he decided to roll it out to the subscribers anyway.
He had to do it now. While he still had as many subscribers left as possible.
If even just 1% buy the course…
Three thousand people. He could clear hundreds of millions. If things had gone smoothly, he could have made four times that—or more.
Book hustlers and lecture hustlers are 100% scammers
Come with me hyung

Naturally, no one was going to watch the videos of a scammer whose incompetence had just been exposed.
Word that Stock Teacher had completely collapsed spread fast.

— A properly failed investor's lunch.jpg
— How far ahead was Sonik-jwa looking??
— The funniest thing about that Stock Teacher guy was

It reached the stock communities too. People had been watching the fight with interest.
He made his money on ELWs
Then only uploaded value-investing content
Strong "I made money so now I'm gonna act sophisticated" energy
Stock Teacher. The old-school traders already knew who he was. The stock world was that small. He'd tried to launder his image and failed. It was only a matter of time before ordinary investors found out too.
All those self-proclaimed experts on YouTube
When the market drops:
"You have to buy the fear!"
When it drops more:
"Selling now would make you an idiot!"
When it drops even more:
"It's a hard time but you have to buy right now!"
No, you fucking bastards
If all you ever say is "buy," you're a salesman, not an expert??
The bear market. A lot of investors were sitting on losses. Some of them had been taken in by YouTubers. For those people, this was satisfying news. The communities should have been throwing a festival.

I'm going first you bastards
People were one breath away from keeling over themselves. Celebrating someone else's misery was a luxury when your own account was on fire. Osung Electronics crashing wasn't someone else's problem. When the largest market-cap stock in Korea freefalls, that means something.
Osung's weight in the domestic market is fucking massive
It meant their own accounts could take massive damage too. Nothing is more terrifying than an uncertain future. And there was only one person who could unravel it. Attention naturally concentrated on Sonik-jwa.
The second collab stream.
"Teacher!"
It hadn't been planned. But a thirsty man digs his own well.
"Save me too!"
"Ah, that's a bit…"
— Holy shit 10k
— Bigger seed means you gotta drop more this is nothing lmao
— Even Sonik-jwa goes dead serious when it's about bankruptcy
It was already a hot topic across the stock communities. The storm was growing on YouTube too.
Nothing better than pouring gasoline on a burning house.
A simple disaster. If it had been unavoidable, there would be nowhere to direct the rage. But if it had been predictable? People started carrying resentment.

Because real money was on the line. Too much was at stake to just shrug it off coolly.
"Aigoo, thank you so much hyungs!"
"You raising the appearance fee?"
"You're rich! I don't even have seed capital, no seed!"
He could read the viewers' feelings. The chat and the donors both looked desperate.
The truly tragic part is…
They get taken again. Once you lose money, you'll do anything to claw it back. You could see what it meant for someone's eyes to flip over. That was why obvious scams like Leading Rooms thrived.
"These so-called stock experts keep saying even if the price drops you just diamond-hand it, something about the company's intrinsic value this and that—but every single one of those arguments gets demolished by one phrase: Ssa-sa-bi-pal."
"Whoa, Ssa-sa-bi-pal!"
"Even a good company—if it's not cheap, you just don't buy it."
— But human psychology doesn't work like that
— Ssa-sa-bi-pal was actually deep whoa
— Is it cheap right now?
I won't get taken… right?
Put people in similar situations and they take similar actions. That was human psychology.
And I'm the one exploiting that desperation.
If someone was going to use it, better him. At least it was better than getting fleeced by Domestic Financial Institutions or outright scammers. No—more than that.
For Korea's securities market to change, the retail investors had to change first.
"So for Osung Electronics we really have to wait until it becomes 30k Electronics?"
"I think it's better not to buy Osung Electronics at all."
"Wait, why?"
You couldn't let yourself get dragged around by whatever the Illicit Stock Manipulators wanted. You used them—and in the end, you brought them down.
Only then…
Could the Korean market achieve Normalization. That was the first goal he was aiming for in this life.
Home ground. To move capital on a national scale, you needed a support base of matching size.
"I just don't like Osung Electronics itself."
"But why? It's still the best-performing company in Korea."
— Short-term view is insane I'll give him that but long-term it still goes up and to the right
— Semiconductors are the rice of industry……
— Osung Electronics hate is crazy rn
As long as the entrenched interests kept devouring everything, it was impossible. The reason Osung Electronics' stock was falling went deeper than the surface narrative.
They muddy the waters talking about semiconductor cycles and whatever…
If it were only that, it would track the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. The fact that it didn't meant there was a hidden secret.
"Honestly I wasn't planning to get into complicated stuff on this stream."
"Why not? That's what people want."
"I don't like getting flamed, and I like exposing my know-how even less."
— Fair point a guy who actually makes money has no reason to expose his edge……
— Ah please
— Is this another Stock Teacher roast too? lmao
Of course it tracked to some degree. And yes, the stock would rise eventually.
But that's far too vague.
It had only lucked into a COVID windfall. An investor had to look at the fundamentals. Korea's greatest company. Which also meant the company that had been looted the hardest in Korea.
"Saying this might piss off people who move serious money…"
"What on earth is going on that you'd say that?"
"Osung Electronics structurally cannot go up. Because of its governance."
"Governance…?"
He spilled heaven's secrets.
