Bang!

Hyeon-u Bang, Chairman of Mirae Group, brought his fist down on the newspaper lying on his desk.

"Have these bastards gone out of their minds? Pull every ad we have in this paper. Right now."

Then he jabbed a finger at the paper sprawled across the floorboards and shouted.

"That bastard did it on purpose. He did it on purpose!"

On the newspaper spread open across the floor, an article was laid out in enormous type alongside a large photograph.
