The reactions to the released video were very diverse.
It was broadcast on national TV stations and uploaded to the official government NuTube channel as well, but unlike a typical government agency video, it quickly reached 5 million views.
And below it…

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 2:03 What is this, she’s not a Taekwondo Girl, she’s a Taekwondo Robot ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this a newly created AI by the HIB? They made it f*cking badly ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen someone break down while talking^^
Comments like these were lined up all the way down!
Argh, seriously.
Comments
-What about a girl who’s a Taekwondo Girl when beating up criminals, but becomes a clunky Taekwondo Robot when a camera is pointed at her.
…Is this a compliment? Really?
While watching my interview video, I quickly opened the comment section to cover the video window.
Even to my own eyes, me in the interview video was—
[After rec! ognizing! the fact that the terrorist! had a bomb, for the safety of the citizens! I calmly! rec…og…nized! the situation first.]
I had completely broken down.
Why was my tone like that?
Is this the beta version of a web novel read by AI?
Argh!
Even that terrified look in my eyes at the end of every sentence, paired with a smile that only reached my mouth.
It was understandable that people were laughing and turning it into memes.
Comments
-How does she create a meme every time she appears in a video. Foreigners have already spread it everywhere as the ‘expression of someone smiling while being blackmailed.’
So that’s why it hit 5 million views.
No wonder there were so many English comments.
Comments
-so this is she. lol.
-’threatened smile girl’ was a hunter detective? wow.
…What are they saying?
Damn it.
I read through every single comment while running them through a translator.
Of course, the HIB… or more precisely, this video also made a huge contribution to forming the public opinion that Hong Jaegyeol seemed to want.
Comments
-She said ‘Thank you for staying alive’…. Waahㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-The HIB team saved my life in the past. I was in middle school at the time, and I don’t remember their name, but seeing them sweat profusely while finding my wallet made me think, ‘Ah, the HIB team are people too.’ Public opinion about the HIB hasn’t been good lately, and I too have wondered if the HIB is really necessary, but watching this brought back old memories and made me newly realize the value of the HIB’s existence. The function of the HIB, separate from the police is…(Read more)
-The genius violinist is human too. It’s so touching to see her call her “Unni” as soon as she sees her.
-Even the Taekwondo Girl being all clunky is cute♥
…But why do they keep calling me Taekwondo Girl?
No matter how you look at it, I’m not a ‘girl,’ am I?
Even the foreigners were calling me “taekwon girl.”
I heard fan accounts and the like were also created, but I couldn’t bring myself to search for them.
Since I don’t really use SNS, I wouldn’t even know how to search for them anyway.
Hong Jaegyeol seemed to want to take this opportunity to create an HIB-exclusive SNS account and post my daily life day and night, but I didn’t let him go that far.
‘I’m already sticking out too much inside the HIB.’
(Photo)
This is a photo posted on Investigator Lee Yuji’s fan account, and they photoshopped it to look like an absolute goddess. You’ll probably get a fansite master soon.
You look so pretty^^
…This was the group chat for my peers.
How should I put it… the fact that only nice words are being posted makes it feel like an atmosphere of them walking on eggshells around me has already been formed.
The feeling that I’ve already been ‘marked’ as the successful peer among them?
I’m jealous! At this rate, won’t you become the youngest Team Leader and the youngest Unit Chief?
With this, it wouldn’t be strange even if they created a special squad for you!
Yes. I hear your struggles crying out ‘Don’t forget me’ loud and clear.
In the midst of this, Ham Ina actually sent a personal message.
Our Team Leader told me that Investigator Lee Yuji was the one who first let slip that there was an issue with the equipment. I don’t know how to express my gratitude. I’ll make sure to repay this favor.
Calling it a debt is a bit much.
Well, it wasn’t bad to have someone in Team 1 who felt favorable toward me.
Since I’ve realized that possessing Ikseong is such a dangerous thing, it seemed better to use Ham Ina whenever I need information about Team 1 in the future.
I must definitely be careful when possessing people from now on.
‘Alright…’
Everything is going smoothly right now.
Wouldn’t right now be the perfect time?
I looked at the small window floating above.
Would you like to claim the ‘Special Side Story’ reward?
…Man, it’s really bothering me. The letters are so tiny, too.
A ‘Special Side Story’.
If I recall correctly, there were no side stories in R.H.H.P.S.W.
So why is there a special side story?
Isn’t that kind of thing usually released when the webtoon comes out, after all the regular side stories are already out?
‘I don’t know what it is, but since it’s called a reward, it shouldn’t be anything disadvantageous to me.’
Thinking that, I whispered the word “Claim.”
And at that moment.
The printed words rushed in all at once, like summer sunlight pouring in when you open the curtains.
As if it were a book I had already read once upon a time.
The special side story began to engrave itself into my mind.
Even though I have no memory of reading such a thing.
Among them, a few sentences even pierced right into my heart.
For example, something like this.
‘I was planning to try saving you in this life…’
In contrast to his calm voice, a subtle pain lingered on Choi Woojin’s face.
Despair.
Since regressing, during the time he had been driven purely by intense rage to cope with the boredom and ennui of living a life over again, it was an emotion he was experiencing for the first time.
And surprisingly, the one driving Choi Woojin to despair was me.
More precisely, my…
Byeon Gudo
At that moment.
The phone rang along with a strange sense of déjà vu.
I lifted my stiff right arm and answered the phone.
[Youngest. Something happened here. You need to come out right now.]
This situation of going out of his way to ‘call’ me on the phone instead of using the pager.
It wasn’t just a sense of déjà vu; I simply knew this scene.
This is…
‘It’s a scene from the special side story I just saw.’
And the scene that will follow—
I got out of bed and stared blankly into the air.
!Status Abnormality! ‘The extra the protagonist begins to feel affection for will surely die’ activated!
…Damn it.
Special Quest ‘Prevent Lee Yuji’s death in the Special Side Story! (Hidden)’
-Reward: 10,000 Gold, ???
-Penalty: Death by falling
I have to prevent my own death.
Seeing the word ‘survival’ flashing, I let out a hollow laugh.
This is driving me crazy.
That’s right.
What drove Choi Woojin to despair was my death.
* * *
“How do you think we should handle this?”
And the next scene wasn’t particularly surprising either. Because it was a scene I had fully seen in the special side story.
A mouse-gray older model SW5 parked under a bridge over the Han River.
Through the open back door, Yeo Hyeongse can be seen, dead as if he had fainted.
A Team 1 Investigator.
The one who was at the scene during the Funny Powder incident.
And under various circumstances, his death was a choice he made himself.
And Byeon Gudo, who was using plastic bags he had found somewhere as a substitute for gloves, held out to me a suicide note seemingly written by Team 1’s Yeo Hyeongse.
I delivered the bomb given by Park Seungsoo to the culprit Seo Gilsu. Unable to overcome the guilt, I write this letter. But I am resentful. Because the true culprit who instigated all this will proudly show their face in front of the public. That culprit is none other than…
…Hah. It’s not even surprising.
I glanced at Ma Deokho, who had a serious look on his face while holding a kitten in his arms.
The final line of the suicide note that made everyone so serious and distressed was—
…Team 1’s Team Leader, called the hero of the HIB, Team Leader Kwon Ikseong.
It was exactly like the special side story.
