Chapter 12:

Sisters... Who are these people?

Why is a "hyungja" (slang for conventionally attractive, 'male-pleasing' woman) holding the mic...?

Aren’t they illegally taking over the protest?

Sisters... My hands are literally shaking...

ㄴ I left Hyehwa because of that too ㅠㅠ

ㄴ 2222222

ㄴ 3333333

ㄴ Seriously, where did all our "gat-chi" sisters go, and why are these people here ㅠㅠㅠ

ㄴ Such a disgrace to real women... I’m embarrassed for them...

Title) Let’s work even harder, sisters

I went to the Hyehwa Station protest today and realized

Korea is still far from true women’s rights...

I felt like they can’t stand to see women banding together ㅠㅠ

That’s why we need to work even harder ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

ㄴ Right, right, how dare those hyungja try to join in on our work...

ㄴ 2222222222222222

ㄴ It’s so disgusting, I’m losing all my affection for this...

ㄴ Hyungja are just too gross...

ㄴ But... they’re women too, and they seemed to be working for women’s rights... What made you feel like women’s rights are so far away??

ㄴ Ugh, come on...

ㄴ Please get a clue ^^

ㄴ Do you really think protests led by hyungja will go anywhere? It’s so obvious they’re just hired to ruin our protest, how do you not see this ㅠㅠ

ㄴ 22222222

‘So it wasn’t just me who was uncomfortable.’

Unlike the saying “if you’re uncomfortable, fix your posture,” these women are experts at voicing discomfort.

For them, manipulating online opinion with their free time is just part of their daily routine.

The Hyehwa Station protest wasn’t just an issue in women’s communities; YouTube and even male-dominated communities were all talking about it.

Title) Whoa, what is this?? First time seeing a tanned gal nuna in real life lol

(A photo of a tanned gal)

Didn’t you have to go to Japan to see something like this? lol

ㄴ Hello~ It’s Earlyber teacher!

ㄴ Ugh, Earlyber, stop showing up!

ㄴ (audio file)

ㄴ Wow, is this guy nuts lol

ㄴ lololol seriously sounds just like him lololol

ㄴ lololol totally the same

ㄴ It literally says “I’m a landmine” and you’re praising her;

ㄴ Yeah, if you’re hot with big boobs, you’re innocent~

ㄴ That’s true though lolol

ㄴ I saw her on OnlyX and it was amazing;

ㄴ Link please, urgent;

Of course, the details are different, but the topic is still what happened at the Hyehwa Station protest, so you could say the protest’s first goal was a big success.

But... this was only the beginning.

Title) Wow; these people are cultists...

(A photo of a flyer)

After the protest, I was heading home and they were handing out flyers at the station

Sisters, these people aren’t victims of sex work, they’re just cult members ㅠㅠ

They’re like Shincheonji or something...

Never take their flyers, just ignore them and run away ㅠㅠ

ㄴ Ha; I knew it.. I didn’t like them from the start;;

ㄴ 222222

ㄴ 333333

Even in women’s communities

Title) Breaking news) Info on the Hyehwa Station protest nunas is out!!

(A photo of a flyer-distributing nuna with a mosaic over her face)

Yup~ they’re cultists~

ㄴ lololol taking photos even then, impressive

ㄴ (OP) But in person, she’s stunning; like a celebrity;

ㄴ If she looks like a celebrity, why is she in a cult lolol

ㄴ I don’t know either lolol

And in male-dominated communities

[Shocking... Hyehwa Station protest... actually a cult recruitment event?!]

[Exclusive) The truth about the Hyehwa Station protest... it’s a cult called the Ja-Ae Cult...]

[Column - Why do cultists love women’s rights activism...]

Even reputable news outlets

All eyes were now on the cult, that is, the Ja-Ae Cult.

And that included Pyeon Minhee, who returned home deeply hurt after the Hyehwa Station protest.

‘...Those hyungja shouldn’t come out to protests.’

Who do they think they’re fooling, trying to steal the results we’ve built up?

‘They don’t even know the “wo” in women’s rights...’

Actually, Minhee was half right every media outlet and community was talking about the Hyehwa protest, but if you looked closer, it was all about “the cultists at the protest.”

People even suspected they were male-planted spies, and the original purpose of the protest was long forgotten.

‘They’re probably just brothel girls... dirty bitches’

Even if they weren’t, anyone could guess from their clothes and style that they were promiscuous.

‘...I can’t just let this go.’

She had to get revenge. They had to pay for the sin of ruining a sacred protest for women’s rights.

Otherwise, she’d be tormented by rage and unable to sleep.

Tap tap

She would have made a deal with the devil if it meant dragging those cult bitches down.

Anyone else might not understand why she was so obsessed...

Tap-tap-tap

She needed information. Something to ruin them!

‘They looked like prostitutes anyway...’

So she decided to check out prostitute communities. That wasn’t hard she’d been a community prodigy since she was a kid.

Finding one more site was nothing.

‘...Found it’

[Secret Info Sharing for Office Girls]

A title so clear you knew exactly what it was for.

“Ah, fuck!!!!” ...She made a mistake. It was actually “Secret Info Sharing for Office Girls.”

She accidentally read a men’s forum rating women.

‘Ugh...’

She ended up reading gross stories from random old men. Why would anyone brag about buying sex online...

Tap tap

‘...This time for real’

[Office Girls]

She liked that “girls” was in the title. Reminded her of “Girls Can Do Anything,” her favorite phrase.

‘...Fuck’

Nope.

She ended up seeing a hidden-camera nude of a fat office girl, taken by some perv.

‘...Finally found it.’

[Group for People Who Love Freedom]

She never thought there’d be a site without “office” or “business” in the name...

Well, that’s how these underground groups work, with their own slang.

‘But they can’t escape my radar’

It took a while, but she found it, and she was proud of that.

‘...A group for people who love freedom? What kind of name is that.’

Who doesn’t love freedom? Damn, women’s rights need to grow so women can be freer! And you’re getting in the way?

‘You deserve punishment.’

Bang, bang

The judge in her head delivers the verdict.

‘Death penalty!!’

You’re sentenced to death. Sabotaging women’s rights activism is a grave crime. Pay for it with your life!

Click, click

So Minhee started reading the posts on the site.

The counterattack had begun.

‘Group for People Who Love Freedom’ (JaSaMo), like other women’s communities, required “adult female verification” to join.

‘...What’s this weird feeling?’

While reading JaSaMo, Minhee noticed something strange.

The site’s vibe subtly changed at a certain point. Before, it felt like a regular chatty office-girl community, but after a certain date, it was flooded with promotional posts.

Even now, most new posts were ads, and the posting rate had dropped.

‘Wait... the ads are regular.’

She realized the promo posts came at fixed intervals every two hours, only 12 a day. That was still true today.

‘Why isn’t the admin stopping the bots?’

There’s only one answer: the admin is the one running the bot.

...And the content of the promos was always the same as the site’s main banner.

The ads varied sometimes for massage parlors, waxing, salons, tattoos, tanning, body correction, PT, fitness, pilates, plastic surgery, all beauty-related.

But they all pointed to the same place.

‘You can do all that in one building?’

She’d never heard of such a place, and she used to care a lot about looks, so she knew it must be new.

As she kept exploring, she found something else.

‘There are tons of reviews for that place...’

Not just written reviews there were detailed ones with interior photos, and some even showed their faces.

‘Crazy...’

She was really shocked.

Title) OOO Visit Review! Thank you, Director Jinwoo ㅠㅠ Thanks to you I found a new life~♡

Before

(A candid, unfiltered full-body shot taken by someone else)

After

(A 1:31 Galaxy video showing the author’s face)

Honestly, I thought my “before” wasn’t bad...

But after meeting the director, I realized how ugly I was ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

At first I didn’t believe the ads, but there were so many reviews I gave it a shot! You all know the original can’t be changed, right ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

(...)

Thanks to Director Lee Jinwoo, I was reborn..

I seriously bow toward his office three times a day!! ( )

hahahaha

Seriously, I really!! really!! recommend you check it out! The first consultation is free!

What shocked her was the After video.

Minhee could instinctively tell it was unedited, but she didn’t want to believe it.

In fact, the Before photo looked more edited. She’d edited her own selfies for social media before, after all.

Grit

‘How did they edit this?’

She couldn’t believe it. No, she didn’t want to.

Can someone really change this much? Sure, the before face is still there, but if the before was 90% banana and 10% milk, now it’s 98% milk and just a “hint” of banana.

The banana was gone, only the “scent” remained.

The After video looked so different you’d believe it was another person.

She started reading more reviews.

‘...Is this for real?’

She spent two days reading thousands of reviews.

Just the fact that one place had thousands of detailed reviews was shocking.

But what shocked her more was the before & after photos in nearly every review.

‘If they’re different people... how did they find so many?’

The before and after were clearly different people. Just vaguely similar.

But in every review, you could find a “hint” of the before in the after. It was uncanny.

No way a clinic could pay thousands of beauties to pose for them.

...And there’s no way there are thousands of tanned, tattooed gal beauties in Korea.
