A Lie Has Become Reality - A Lie Has Become Reality chapter 56

56 – Understanding the topic

A 5-part series about the actual situation of the Game Management Committee.

This is the title of a video uploaded to Seongwoo Kim’s official YouTube channel a few days ago.

Befitting a provocative title, the uploaded video exposed the true nature of the Game Ratings Management Committee.

The problem is that even if it was naked, it was too naked.

As if they had watched all the uploaded videos, the Game Management Committee expressed their official position and resented Kim Seong-woo.

Information about a video recently uploaded to a certain YouTube channel

We will guide you.

Thousands of collective complaints have been filed with our committee due to the posting of a video of retaliation by Leonplay CEO Kim Seong-woo, who has a grudge in relation to the rating upgrade of the “Etherna Hunter” Game and the issue of rating adequacy. This is an ongoing situation.

Not only that, but we plan to take appropriate legal action against the fact that the reputation of our committee has been seriously damaged.

As if the effects of the videos uploaded by Kim Seong-woo were direct, the Game Ratings Management Committee foretells legal action and asks for civil complaints to be refrained from.

Of course, very few people were on the side of the Game Management Committee, where public sentiment had already fallen.

Not long after, a refutation to the Gwanak Commission’s notice was posted on the community of Seongwoo Kim’s channel.

This is Sungwoo Kim.

I have read all of the notices of the Registrar’s Office.

In summary, since you framed us with retaliatory videos, I will sue you, Kim Seong-woo, isn’t this?

If you want to sue, do it anytime.

My legal team is so competent that I’m not particularly concerned.

Ah, and since you seem to like the law so much, I’m going to follow the law too.

Article 21 Paragraph 2 of the Constitution, permission or censorship for press/publishing is not recognized.

Currently, the Government Commission is proudly ignoring the Constitution in the name of a prior deliberation system, right?

I will go straight into the constitutional petition.

In addition to this, we plan to file complaints regarding recent accusations of embezzlement and forgery of public documents, as well as passive administration, abuse of authority, and neglect of duties.

As the unprecedented big match between the 3rd generation chaebol and public institutions was established, the Internet was completely turned upside down.

Naturally, not only gamers, but also the attention of many people who are not interested in games were also noticed.

And there is no way the political world will miss an event that is attracting people’s attention.

Naturally, when some members of the National Assembly took off their feet and started pounding the commission with gamers, the commission completely turned into a punching bag.

“Heh heh, why does this voice actor never have a quiet day?”

Taewoong Cultural Foundation Director’s Office.

Director Kim Dong-ho, who received a report on Kim Seong-woo’s recent activities from his secretary, burst into laughter.

“Certainly, this is enough to ask Jeong Hae-sol for a favor.”

Jeong Hae-sol is the current Minister of Strategy and Finance, who ranks first in the protocol among ministers, and is also the best friend of Chairman Kim Dong-ho.

“You look like an absurd guy.”

When I got a call from the voice actor a few days ago, I felt sorry.

Didn’t all the media go wild over the Taewoong Group’s management rights dispute because she was so involved in her work?

That’s why she was worried that she might have called out of distraught.

Until he started saying nonsensical things saying that he had something to ask of him.

“Chairman, what should I do?”

“What, what, how? My brother is asking for my grandson, so I have to help him.”

“Will Minister Jeong Hae-sol cooperate?”

“The justification must be sufficient. If you count on paying off a debt, you will turn on your twin wicks and welcome them.”

Still fluttering in front of my eyes.

Jung Hae-sol kneeling down on her knees, saying that if she helped her this once, she would never forget her forever.

I owe you my life, so I can’t possibly turn down a request like this.

“Contact me and make an appointment in the near future.”

“Yes, sir.”

Fishik-

I must have benefited from it last time, and being a great grandfather wouldn’t be bad at this point.

****

Game Management Committee Office.

“No, what is that… ! I’m sorry, but we just dealt with it according to the rules.”

“Because there was a production of sufficiently suggestive s*xual acts through physical contact… “

“Guess! It is not a matter of being swayed by complaints from a specific group, but a decision that has already been made through a sufficient monitoring process.”

“We also follow the law, so there is no way. The decision to readjust the usage level of Ether or Hunter will not change no matter what minister comes.”

The inside of the office was so crowded that it was no different from the market floor, with numerous calls.

Thanks to Sungwoo Kim’s malicious retaliatory video upload, the current Gehwanwi has reached a situation where normal work is impossible.

Because the momentum of the gamers who gathered around Kim Seong-woo was fear itself.

In addition to thousands of complaints, now even members of the National Assembly have joined in, and the Board of Audit and Inspection has begun a full-scale audit.

“Kim Seong-wu, this damn bastard doesn’t even know the subject… !”

I just foretold the re-classification of Aether and Hunter through a due process and according to regulations.

However, I would never have thought that someone would interfere with the proper execution of official duties by a public institution, saying that it was just a bad feeling, in case someone wasn’t a f*cking chaebol kid.

“What can I do if I get mad?”

The Game Management Committee is clearly another public organization under the Ministry of Culture and Sports.

What can I do if I just go crazy over a personal topic?

From the time I was inaugurated as the chairperson of the Game Management Committee, I have faced countless difficulties.

How could I, who was perfectly fine even when the raw meat and meat members of the National Assembly opened their ax eyes and kept me in check, could I be intimidated by an individual?

“A f*cking asshole.”

From noble mtl dot com

I burst out laughing.

Although it’s insanely annoying right now, you just have to endure it.

It is not at all scary for an idiot to install by relying only on financial strength.

Ttareun-!

I took out my mobile phone that was ringing and checked the caller.

[ Jihwan Park ]

Park Ji-hwan.

He is the current Minister of Culture and Sports and one of my strongest backs.

As much as it was a welcome call from a car that was already grunting, I received the call with a high-pitched voice.

“Brother! What are you doing?”

“…… Older brother? Hey kid Did you just say brother?”

“Why is that, brother?”

“How are you? It won’t be any fun even if you do things like this and then someone says you’re a big brother!!!!!”

A thunderous roar erupted over the receiver.

A few days ago, I suddenly heard something between my brother and sister….

My sarcasm was also hurt by the outpouring of double-swearing, so I casually threw out a word.

“Isn’t the word too harsh, brother? Please calm down for a while.”

“Aigoo Douya…… Why did I let such a bastard sit in the chairperson?”

“Why are you doing this? If I know the reason, I can tell you something.”

“Why? Yes, you spoke well.”

I swallowed a gulp at the unusual atmosphere.

In all the years I’ve known him, I’ve never seen him so excited.

What the hell is wrong with getting you so excited?

“Aetherna Hunter classification reclassification, withdraw immediately.

“Yes?”

“Don’t say it twice. Withdraw immediately the announcement that you are not allowed to use youth for the reason that you are not eligible for Ether or Hunter.”

What the hell are you talking about?

To withdraw the notice of reclassification of Aetherna Hunter now.

I muttered in a low voice.

“…… I guess that would be difficult.”

“Wow, this is more stone-headed than I thought. Have you still not understood the situation?”

“Why are you doing this now? I just don’t understand.”

Even in the past, the Game Management Committee has always been the target of the National Assembly and the media.

Even when we were driven to a precipice more than this, we didn’t care.

Because public institutions are not institutions that are so easily swayed and abolished.

At this point, my whole body stood on edge with an anxious feeling of foreboding.

“Minister Jeong Hae-sol.”

“Yes?”

“Do you know what the Minister of Strategy and Finance Jeong Hae-sol said to me?”

“…… “

“I wrote a budget plan for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and submitted it to the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, but they rejected it right away, saying it didn’t seem right.”

“What is that… Isn’t that a complete abuse of authority?”

“So I asked. What is the reason for rejecting it in the first place?”

“Then what was that man?”

“I feel dizzy because Ge Gwan-wi doesn’t even know the topic and is crazy.”

“…… Her.”

So, are you saying that the Game Management Committee is rejecting the budget plan of the Ministry of Culture and Sports at random?

Does this make sense?

I couldn’t understand the situation, so I was at a loss for words.

Whether I shut my mouth or not, Park Ji-hwan continued to say what he had to say.

“There is no answer at this rate. Thousands of people gather in front of the National Assembly and are desperately shouting for the abolition of the commission. Now, even members of the National Assembly are criticizing the incompetence of the commission. Even the Minister of Finance is on the mound and threatens with a knife, what should I do?”

My heart sank.

Now I can see the situation in front of me clearly.

Minister of Culture and Sports Park Ji-hwan, he is currently trying to abandon himself.

“I heard you even came in thanks? It’s a good thing, it’s a good thing.”

“… “

“It’s not necessary, and when you say good things, withdraw all the announcements of reclassification right away.”

“…… Is that all you want from them?”

If the situation has reached this point, there is nothing special.

It would be better if all situations could be resolved by withdrawing the reclassification.

The important thing is that you are satisfied with just this.

“Private review agency for game products.”

“No way… !”

“Let’s start again with the transfer of the authority to review game ratings to the private sector, which was cut off a few years ago.”

“It has already ended with the Game Culture Foundation dropping out, but how can I… “

A long time ago, when the direction of the government’s game regulation was set by the self-regulation of games.

The government’s move to transfer the function of game review to a private organization has been steady since before.

However, it was delayed due to the fact that there was no private institution that could be handed over, and the game companies’ support was also significantly insufficient.

“Why?”

“I can’t believe that Kim Seong-woo bastard… “

“I know. Personal assets alone exceed 1 trillion won, so why not create a private institution?”

“Ha…hahahahaha…”

“I always said. You have to be good at grasping the subject to survive for a long time.”

My jaw trembled.

As if all the moisture in his body had evaporated, he had no strength.

Regurgitation of gastric juice caused a burning pain in the esophagus.

“Let’s talk face-to-face later, and hang up the phone now.”

Doo-Doo-

Amid the quiet silence, only the beep announcing that the call was disconnected rang out rhythmically.
