Chapter Title: Who the Hell is KSH7? (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-Incheon Port? Why there all of a sudden??
No way could he say his ancestral spirit told him a con artist had scampered off there. Yeonwoo deftly spun a cover story.
“A similar case came to mind. From what I recall, the con artist slipped into China illegally through a Chinese broker, and that’s why they couldn’t find him… This one feels like it’s unfolding the same way.”
-Huh??
-That makes sense, right? If they’re still in the country, CCTV’s everywhere—tough to evade…
-Didn’t they say he bolted right away? Once a warrant’s out, they’re barred from flying, so yeah, sneaking out by ship tracks.
-But how the hell did you even think of that??
Those without cheat keys could only spit out awe.
-ㄷㄷㄷ I’m texting my friend right now. Thanks!! ㅠㅠㅠ
The broadcast, winding down, got fresh fuel tossed in. Unfortunately, only about 30 seconds remained until sign-off.
“It was great meeting you all today. I’d only heard your voice on the radio before, so seeing your face and chatting in person felt fresh and so much fun.”
Oblivious to the spark he’d ignited, Yeonwoo delivered his calm closing line.
-Nooo, Yeonwoo-ya ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[Broadcast ending in 10 seconds]
[9 seconds]
The final countdown began. As numbers ticked down, the chat exploded with frantic donations.
More people opted for impactful donations over the scrolling chat barrage.
[User “EvenIfIDieICan’tSend” donated 10,000 won.]
[User “YeonwooNatiRound2LetsGo” donated 50,000 won.]
[User “TalkingToYeonwooNoRegretsEvenInDeath” donated 30,000 won.]
[User “YeonwooRound2SoberWish” donated 10,000 won.]
[User “IfMyNatiHasEyesThisIsTheDonationYeonwooDeserves” donated 10,000 won.]
And right before the end…
[User KSH7 donated 10,000,000 won.]
[Great job^^]
“Thank you…?”
Yeonwoo, mid-farewell, froze at the staggering sum—then the screen cut to black.
A whirlwind broadcast drew to a close in every sense.
***
Signs had shown during the live stream, but Yeonwoo’s broadcast blew up regardless. Even before the main airing, viewer testimonials and captioned memes spread the buzz like wildfire.
The first news to break was about the con artist.
[Woman (29) consulting on internet stream: “I nearly got scammed.” Who saved her from fraud?]
-On X date, actor Kang Yeonwoo appeared on the internet streaming site’s “TV in My Hand,” hosting a viewer consultation corner.
After hearing Ms. Lee’s story, actor Kang Yeonwoo advised, “Smells like a scam—call the guy right now.” Following that, Ms. Lee found the contact dead, cross-checked with other victims, and confirmed the fraud.
Safeguarding her wedding funds, Ms. Lee shared, “Something drew me home early to watch the stream that day. Weird vibe, but it saved me from the scam. I want to sincerely thank actor Kang Yeonwoo for the huge help.”
Reporters pounced fast, and Yeonwoo’s name hit broadcast news.
Fanning the flames further: a follow-up scoop.
[Con artist Ko (56, male) and gang caught mid-attempt to flee to China via Incheon Port by undercover cops. Immediate arrest… “Damages estimated over 3 billion won.”]
-A fraudster duped multiple victims out of billions using fake news of a pharma company’s miracle drug patent. Ko was nabbed today at Incheon Port by undercover police.
Ko had arranged a smuggling ship to China but got nabbed on victim tips.
“Victim reports were spot-on and swift—key to the bust,” said Incheon West Police, thanking tipsters for helping wipe out the gang. They noted the precise intel came from actor Kang Yeonwoo on “TV in My Hand.”
And rightly so—the consultation alone wasn’t enough; three minutes before end, he’d casually dropped a tip from his ancestral spirit, yielding massive results.
[Whoa… They caught him already. Quick work? Guess they listened to you, Yeonwoo. Makes sense—with your hit rate that day, ignoring it’d be insane.]
“…Where’d you get that?”
[This? Why? Jealous? Want one?]
“…”
No. Just wondering which lunatic bought a bird a tablet PC.
‘Problem is, I can guess who.’
No one else would hand a bird the latest gadget.
[Jealousy won’t get you this. Mine!]
“Yeah…”
Anyway, a multi-billion-won scam wasn’t small potatoes—news blasted everywhere.
-Ding!
[Multi-Lifespan Auto-Harvest complete.]
[Auto-harvested lifespan: 180 days]
Decent haul despite modest victim count.
‘Payment for thwarting billions in losses?’
In a world where millions could spark murder, blocking tens of millions—or billions—in scams? Worthy reward.
All good… until…
[Actor Kang Yeonwoo thwarts billions in fraud—who is he? Viewers: “Curious!”]
[“Prophet-level consultant” actor Kang Yeonwoo.]
[Famous fortune-teller: “Some celebs have killer intuition. Actor Kang Yeonwoo’s one.”]
Articles galore, even shaman interviews.
Post-drama finale lull? This poured gasoline on dying embers.
‘This… spiraling too far?’
Just then, Kwon Sung-hyun eased worries.
“Don’t sweat it. Trash rags like that fade fast.”
“…Really?”
“Actors thrive on attention, but no need to feed personal life to gawkers.”
His smile hid a stern edge.
“Selling privacy for fame shortens lifespan anyway. Better block it early. And… I don’t care to share my thoughts with randos.”
Smile intact, but tone? Murky if pissed.
‘He’ll handle it.’
Unbeknownst, Kwon’s agency wasn’t wannabe bait for nothing. No leech just skimming profits—this was next-level.
Positive buzz? Welcome. Vulgar gossip? Ironclad blockade.
Chaebol heir rumors never stuck in 20 debut years—proven prowess.
Sure enough, scummy speculation vanished overnight.
Replaced by “TV in My Hand” pieces.
[Actor Kang Yeonwoo on “TV in My Hand”: “Record donations”]
[Warm aid to struggling neighbors. “TV in My Hand” donation villain—who?]
Unlike prying tabloids, these were wholesome.
Of course.
“Thirty million? Thirty million won?”
Not three thousand, thirty thousand, or three hundred thousand.
Thirty million won.
For a two-hour stream, an astronomical donation sum.
“…Must be good.”
If it went to good use, sure. Wild that most came from one person.
Nicknamed “big spender.”
Heartwarming tales of whales aiding the needy popped up.
Sparking unexpected positivity for neighborly aid.
Rippling to Yeonwoo’s fanclub too.
***
Saw Yeonwoo’s acting.
Heard his radio.
Read his news.
Varied paths led fans to congregate.
Lately, second to Yeonwoo: one figure hogged attention.
None other than…
[Who the hell is KSH7?]
The mystery who popped into Yeonwoo’s Nati stream, dropping bombshells and cash freely.
[Who the hell is KSH7?]
-Maybe one of ours? Group support from elsewhere?
Anyone know, spill! (comments)
-Not our club. Live chat during stream was all ??? lololol Yeah, total chaos lololol Who’s that? Anyone know? Not one of us? Nah? Who??
-Still no ID on KSH7…
ㄴArticles dropped, but agency slapped ’em down—toned to donations lol
ㄴGoodㅎㅎㅎ They were ripping into our Yeonwoo—pissed me off… Called agency, they said handling it. Came back calm. That was me^^
ㄴSomeone else called too? I did^^
ㄴOther agencies: “Looking into it”—ragequit fans galore. Why not protect artists?! But here? “Already on it” lol Reaction speed??
-Guys, focus: not trash press—KSH7!
ㄴRight, yeah;
-So who’s KSH7?
ㄴNo clue
ㄴAsked for tips, crickets—total flop lololol
ㄴFr, not a union—solo dropping 2.5 mil?? How??
Yeonwoo’s fanpage drew diverse jobs, ages—even, thanks to smash drama.
Kwon Sung-hyun’s star power drew eyes; Yeonwoo stamped his mark.
Handsome, sure—but acting chops and universal emotional punch sealed it.
Hence, fanbase packed serious spending power.
Still, KSH7’s flex dwarfed them.
Even fans who’d donated big were stunned.
-Dropped 100k, but zilch next to him;
-Fired 50k salvos—eclipsedㅠㅠ
-Who?? Should’ve verified at that spend—no verifs?
ㄴFakes got banned quick
ㄴNo verify after that splash? Smells legit?
-Whoever, invite here. Seemed chill.
ㄴRumor: already top-10 member via hearsay lol
ㄴAdmins said same. Want honorary membership.
ㄴGentleman vibes—always ^^ emojis
ㄴBlanketing haters with cash? Badass

Wealth, manners, shielding Yeonwoo.
