Chapter Title: New Controversy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, at first, I thought it was a hallucination.
To be precise, I thought I'd gone insane from too much stress.
"Least 15cm bigger, it looks like...?"
Rough height estimate: at least 188cm.
When standing, my fingertips might even brush my knees.
My legs had become ridiculously long, while my torso shortened.
Abs had etched themselves clearly into my once-flabby gut.
To be frank, my body was so jacked it felt like I'd done steroids.
'Not overdone... No, but could my body really improve this much?'
Body fat probably under 10% at a glance.
Last InBody scan was around 33%.
This was dieting beyond explanation.
"No... No, more than that, my face is... No, my whole body doesn't make sense?"
Tap, tap.
I poked my face like it was some stranger's clay model.
This wasn't like taking some black-market drug and transforming overnight.
People don't just change like this from one morning to the next, right?
Prod, prod.
Forgetting all about apologies, I grabbed my phone and fired up a video call.
To the one person I trusted most, who could look at me objectively.
The one who'd call me ugly if I was ugly, fat if I was fat—my mom.
Lady Kim Sonjeong would tell me straight up what was going on.
-Hello?
"Mom! Mom! Look at my face! Isn't it weird? I've totally changed!"
-What? Changed how? What are you talking about? Got a pimple?
"No, not that—I woke up and my face suddenly changed...."
-You gone crazy all of a sudden? Is this your way of asking for allowance? You've always looked like that! Quit the nonsense or I'm hanging up!
Click.
Classic Lady Kim Sonjeong—straight fire, no holds barred.
But that was that.
'I've always looked like this?'
My parents saw my changed face as my original one?
Something was off.
So I wasn't seeing things?
Next, I checked my phone gallery.
I'd kept photos from way back to now.
I scrolled through my life story for the first time in ages.
"Wh-what the...?"
What should have been an impossible transformation looked like perfectly natural growth.
Precisely, from the point when I cut ties with friends to start streaming.
That selfie from back then was definitely chubby.
But gradually, mirror selfies showed me sharpening up, handsome-fying.
Height increasing, muscles defining.
'Does this even make sense?'
Every single photo had changed.
Exactly from when I started streaming.
All images Photoshopped to match my post-transformation looks.
'Volunteer work I've never done... No, what? Running shoes I've never worn at night...'
Memories that never happened lingered in my gallery.
No, did they just swap out my physical body? Like changing phone models?
'From a 080... to a 010? 2G to 5G?'
SIM card the same, but the hardware upgraded to the latest.
Top-tier: Ultra, Max, that level.
"...."
Pushing positivity, I checked the most important thing last.
Whoosh!
Lower my hand and inspect.
Heavy.
"...Insane."
This defied logic.
A miracle.
To describe precisely: about mid-thigh length.
The feel: carp from the ditches turned dragon, Thor's Mjolnir.
"Th-this... for real?"
No memory of blacking out drunk.
Video call with parents, gallery.
Everything screamed my current state was totally normal.
Unbelievable.
"...I've become ridiculously handsome?"
Reality sinking in.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Reply notifications confirming it was all real.
Don't think ending the stream and dipping will make it go away—apologize properly, and even if you're quitting streaming, apologize to Lera properly first.
Your dox is all out. Don't think of changing nicks and pulling stunts elsewhere.
Posting it all in replies in case you bolt.
Stream nick: Mungki, real name: Yoo Jeongmun, age: 25, military service done.
That's what's out so far, but it's all preserved on Namu Wiki, so no funny business.
Apologize properly, sincerely, on cam to the hurt Lera—handwritten apology mandatory, of course....
"Ah."
The doxxing reply crashed my excitement over the new body high.
Boldly doxxing and threatening for an apology.
I was in the wrong, but this crossed the line—reported it immediately.
Screenshots just in case, ego-searched the haters' nick, compiled their toxic comments too.
'Guess buy a cam first, then.'
Does being handsome now even matter?
Situation was total shitshow.
"Haha... Wow, really... impressive."
Namu Wiki actually had my dox packed tight.
In three years streaming, I'd only shared name and age.
That stuff wasn't documented.
But daily behavior, stream style.
Any trivial detail identifying me was there.
'Feels weird they did this out of fandom.'
If it was from liking me, it'd be nice.
But Namu Wiki/Mungki/Controversies: "Lera Concert Lewd Remarks Scandal" spanned three A4 pages.
Obvious whose fan wrote it.
'Hmm, buy cam... Clean background, so chroma key too....'
Public announcement first.
+++++

[Mungki]
Hello, this is Mungki.
Recently, I committed a huge mistake on the Mark Happy Village server.
But I don't think keyboard apologies cut it.
I'll turn on cam and apologize properly for what happened.
Apology stream in two days.
Thank you.
ㄴ This the right move?
ㄴ Wow, low-tier guy's mindset on another level [Likes:113]
ㄴ First time seeing someone promo an apology stream
ㄴ Low-tier trying to cozy up to corps like this?

Streamer Mungki, real name Yoo Jeongmun's post got screenshotted and spread fast through internet broadcasting communities.
Wrong? Yes. But nitpick-wise, not murder-level bad.
Opinions sharply divided.
ㄴ Haters overreacting hard lololol
ㄴ Guy can watch porn, right?
ㄴ Yeah, but couldn't focus on concert more than Oliver?
ㄴ If corps did it, it'd be "omg master I'll rim your ass" hostess bar vibes lol
ㄴ Low-tier, so they saw opening, snowball with stones, smash away~
Just folks enjoying drama, laughing at hater rage, stirring shit first.
ㄴ Big mistake or not, formal apology needed
ㄴ Yeah real
ㄴ If wanna keep streaming, yeah—Lera's #1 female in internet broadcasting
ㄴ #1 by what?
ㄴ Tier lol
ㄴ She bites corp ads too yeah
ㄴ No quit plans, wanna monetize? Keep good relations mandatory yeah
ㄴ But 3-year low-tier turn this into quit chance?
ㄴ Gasp
Objective long-term survival: apologize camp.
And finally.
ㄴ No fuck, this just promo to cozy to Lera
ㄴ Did it on purpose? Ruin Lera concert then bounce?
ㄴ Yeah real, total sniper move
ㄴ Pulled aggro timed to her song, now apology to rub up—disgusting
ㄴ 3-year low-tier desperate to blow up, what options? This shit
ㄴ Low-talent fucker ugh
Die-hard Yoo Jeongmun haters.
Three factions clashing like a three-way war, torching communities nonstop.
Perfect candy gum for bored internet world.
Two days later, piled firewood finally ignites.
Clack!
Long-awaited Yoo Jeongmun—no, Mungki's live stream starts.
First: black screen.
[Admin has disabled chat.]
Chat lockdown to block trolls right away.
What epic shit was this, going so far?
Crowd hyped for rare spectacle.
-"Ahh, can you hear me?"
Screen lights up, apology guy's face appears.
[Title: Holyfuck Mungki this bitch hire actor or what?]

Low-tier psycho lololol
Hired celeb stand-in for apology stream?
Super handsome dude pops up, total shock—what?
Gotta be proxy 100%?

ㄴCan't grasp low-tier logic—stand-in for apology?
New controversy erupts.
