Chapter 54 - Kim Soseong's Downfall (Part 2)

[ Don't forget, that screenwriter Gong, after heavily criticizing Im Giseok, went to take a photo with Kim Soseong. I don't believe for a second that this wasn't done under Kim Soseong's order. ]

[ Agree, thinking about it, Kim Soseong is really shameless. ]

Screenwriter Gong had been in the industry for years.

As soon as he realized things were going wrong, he quickly deleted the photo with Kim Soseong and removed all the articles criticizing <> from his post.

Kim Soseong had always been good at manipulating public opinion, claiming to be the most popular screenwriter in the entertainment industry.

But from this moment on, he personally experienced the backlash of public opinion.

When searching "Kim Soseong" on the Chirp, all his past scandals were exposed in detail.

The official account of the Silla National Film Institute couldn't find any news related to him anymore, and the production teams he had previously worked with also deleted his information.

But that wasn't the worst part.

The worst part was that the most authoritative screenwriters in the industry all stood up, declaring him a cancer in the screenwriting industry and calling for a complete severance with him.

In the past, even if his situation was bad, it would never have become widely known—if not for Im Giseok's article.

Because of Im Giseok's article, the industry's unspoken rules suddenly turned into the bright side.

People needed to see someone being punished, and the industry needed to set a target to take the blame for everyone's grievances—Im Giseok, being the least experienced and least well-known in the <> team, was pushed out to take the fall.

At that time, Kim Soseong was still feeling smug, thinking he had made a brilliant decision.

But now, he was the one being pushed out as the target.

Feeling like a scapegoat and being excluded by the entire industry—he finally understood what Im Giseok had gone through.

Im Giseok managed to make a comeback with <>, but Kim Soseong knew himself well.

With his abilities, there was no way he could ever write another hit show.

If it were just his reputation that was ruined, he could still live a decent life with what he had accumulated before.

But now, besides demands to terminate his contracts, some production teams were even asking him to compensate for their losses.

As soon as the manager mentioned the compensation demands, Kim Soseong sneered coldly, "Didn't they come to me in the first place because of my fame?"

"Did they really come for my talent?"

What Kim Soseong regretted the most now was watching from the sidelines as <> premiered on BingeBox.

If he had tried to stop it even a little before the show's reputation took off, things would never have reached this point.

...

For BingeBox, Kim Soseong's ruined reputation was only beneficial, not harmful.

The worse Kim Soseong's scandal spread online, the more curious people became about <>.

Many viewers, feeling a sense of justice, began catching up on the show.
