BCGWR Chapter 41 Part 2

[Title: Why are the media making such a fuss about Jung Ha-jin taking a break?] [Likes: 101911 / Dislikes: 141]

It’s a bit hard to understand why someone has to hold a press conference just to say they’re taking a break haha.

My friends and I all agree with him, you know? But I don’t get why the media is coming out, cursing Jung Ha-jin like that, and unnecessarily stirring up anxiety. Are those trash reporters ganging up on Jung Ha-jin again?

What kind of media in the world is shocked that he’s taking a break and not going back on his word? Lololololol. He didn’t say he’s disappearing; he said he’d use a transformation skill to blend in with ordinary people and rest. He’s going to stay in the country, and if anything dangerous happens, he’ll come out immediately. What’s so wrong with that? Don’t you think it’s stranger that he hasn’t rested once in five years? For the record, I’m a non-Awakened. Honestly, we’re protected by the Awakened, but they’re people too, so it’s only natural for them to rest. Why are people so incomprehensible, really;;;

+Addendum

Does anyone know Jung Ha-jin Esper’s shielded name…? I don’t know it, so I just wrote it like this;;;;ㅠ

[Comments]

222222 Seriously, it’s unbelievable. And those trash reporters are really criticizing Jung Ha-jin for being unaffiliated, but come on, if he was going to join an overseas guild, he would have done it ages ago lolllll.

└This is no laughing matter. Unaffiliated Awakened individuals in Korea can always go overseas if they get good offers… Many already have.

└??? I don’t think that’s bad. Do they have an obligation to protect Korea under terrible contract conditions? If I got a good offer, I’d naturalize too; you don’t even have to look far. Just look at the island nation Erica. They were loyal to the country under terrible conditions, and what did they have left?

└But there’s really no need to worry about Jung Ha-jin. Even though he’s been working independently without affiliation all this time, he’s cleared far more dungeons than most Espers. His whole family is in Korea, so why would he transfer? Don’t worry prematurely.

└There were rumors that Jung Ha-young originally wanted to work independently too, but people were so anxious that she was forced to become a state-affiliated Esper…

└Seriously, the Awakened Association Espers renew their contracts annually, but Jung Ha-young was the only one who signed a lifelong contract, and they even publicly disclosed the contract. It really seemed like they did it to reassure the public. Would Jung Ha-jin really abandon a country that his twin sister signed a lifelong contract with?

Jung Ha-jin has no shielded name. He said he doesn’t use the internet at all and doesn’t care what others say, so everyone just doesn’t bother with a shielded name. However, his fans are extremely intense, so if you slip up, they’ll rip you apart with proof, so you have to watch your words lol.

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Remember that one Youtuber, the one who always wore a baseball cap and never washed his hair? He badmouthed Jung Ha-jin and disappeared without a trace lololll.

└Ah, wasn’t that guy who always spouted nonsense about Awakened people ‘Ssamjang’? Rumor has it a dungeon break occurred near his house and he died.

└Oh no (fox emoji covering mouth and laughing)

└If that’s true, may he rest in peace action beam~

└Lol, this is a bit much. But actually, when I think about it, that guy deserved it lololol. He would constantly evaluate female Awakened’s faces and bodies, openly sexually harass them, and if a male Awakened was handsome, he’d dig up weird rumors to criticize them. He was crazy lololol.

└Not to nitpick, but ‘허구언날’ X ‘허구한 날’ O (whisper)

└Ah, crap, thanks;;;;;;;

But does Jung Ha-jin never smile? Looking at his expression, I thought he was an android;;;

└222222222 It got so bad that there were even composite images of Jung Ha-jin smiling lollll.

└There’s a rumor that his facial muscles were injured during a special forces operation (unofficial).

└I don’t know if the above reply is true, but I’ve never seen Jung Ha-jin smile, not once.

Everyone, I’m watching the press conference, and I keep getting distracted by the bulge in Jung Ha-jin’s left pocket. What’s so thick in there…? Could it be a companion monster? It seems to be moving a bit?

└Honestly, I also got distracted by that, my eyes kept going there (uncle spitting orange juice meme).

└22222222 Seriously eye-catching ㄷㄷ

└Isn’t it just a left-hand storage compartment?

└No, I said it moved lol;;;

└Well, physiologically, it sometimes moves;

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hey you crazy person lololololololol

I retract my previous statement of looking up to Jung Ha-jin as ‘hyung-nim’. From now on, I will look up to Jung Ha-jin as ‘big hyung-nim’.

└Don’t call him ‘big’ hyung-nim for something like that lollll.

└Oh my god, I must be crazy lololololol. I was so fixated on Jung Ha-jin’s face that I didn’t notice at all until I saw the comment and looked at his pocket just now lololololol. But it’s wiggling, so it must be a companion monster lololololol.

└Ah… Is this the scale of an SS-rank…?

└lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol

Jung Ha-jin. You. Are. The of South Korea.

└He is the future, but it’s ridiculous lololololololololololololololol.

└To think that the future of Korea is in an SS-rank’s pocket TTTTTTTTTTTTT.

By the way, changing the subject, wasn’t Jung Ha-young’s lifelong contract because of her youngest sibling? During The Cataclysm, her youngest fell into a coma. And then there was that mineral, what was it, that maintained muscles and organs? I heard that the country controlled that mineral in the early stages of The Cataclysm, so she had no choice but to sign a slave contract with the Awakened Association to get it.

└There was a lot of talk about this, but it was just a rumor. Ha-young unnie herself said on a talk show that they did need that mineral at the time, but the country didn’t have a monopoly on it.

└Huh, then why did she sign a lifelong contract with the country? Kim Hyun-ah was supposedly making a fuss for her to join Peace Guild, but she specifically went to the Awakened Association, was it really because of all the talk about Jung Ha-jin being unaffiliated?

└I heard she comes from a military family, so her patriotism is strong.

Oh, her youngest sibling still hasn’t woken up? I thought they were living as a regular person since it’s been quiet;

└Still hasn’t woken up ㅠ They say the cause is unknown. It’s not a medical issue, and there are many theories that it’s a status effect of SS-rank or higher, but nothing has been confirmed.

└Oh no… they were a complete baby ㅠㅠ Weren’t they a middle schooler?

└Yeah, now in their early 20s… spent 5 years in bed ㅠㅠ.

There were also rumors that Jung Ha-jin’s reason for working independently was because of his youngest sibling. There’s a rumor that he often worked as a mercenary on SS-rank raids in other countries besides Korea, trying to get an SS-rank Perfect Recovery Potion.

└Huh? Korea doesn’t have an SS-rank Perfect Recovery Potion?
