Interest at home and abroad is running hot over the S-rank Gate that appeared at 2 p.m. on the 6th in Haeundae-gu, Busan.
This S-rank Gate, dubbed the ‘Abandoned Land,’ recorded the highest Gate energy level in Korea’s history, stirring widespread concern.
As it was a matter of national importance, support was requested from overseas as well, but this S-rank Gate was dramatically cleared through domestic efforts alone just 112 hours after the first Gate occurrence.
An S-rank self-clear without assistance is the first in Korea, and the research community is also viewing it as an unusual situation.
The key figure who participated in this Dungeon clear was Hunter Im Haekyung, the Guild Master of Haeseong Guild and one of only two S-rank Hunters in Korea.

[Chatter] Honestly, I’ve been thinking too lightly about Gates
Honestly, it’s not like I haven’t been thinking too lightly about Gates up until now, but seeing all this news about A-rank Hunters dying come flooding in made me feel like I got smacked in the head.
If it’s A-rank, that’s honestly insanely strong.... I don’t know, my head’s kind of a messㅜ
Comments 53
— Really hit me again that you can actually die going in there
— Same... and the vibe of treating sacrifices like they’re just a given? It makes me feel kind of sick
[Chatter] Korea’s third S-rank confirmed

They say Kwon Taehan is S-rank

— Whoa... holy shit, then Korea has three S-ranks?
— Three S-ranks and all three characters look totally differentㅋㅋㅋㅋ
— Then that means two S-ranks went into the S-rank Gate this time? ㄷㄷㄷ
— In the interview he looked handsome but his expression did look really bad
└ He just went into an S-rank Gate and barely made it out alive, how’s his expression supposed to look good
└ No, I just meant his expression looked bad, I’m not picking a fight!
[Chatter] Is the Hunter Seok Jiwon is talking about S.J.H.?
(interview link)
Seok: And there was a Hunter with way more self-sacrifice than I expected, so (silence) I was surprised. They’re an SH Hunter, and we only knew each other by face usually, so we never got to have a deep conversation. But this time, seeing them going around alone to take care of the bodies of the deceased (silence)... I think it really made me think a lot.
It says it’s an SH Hunter, but it doesn’t seem like Song Hwayoung, so is it S.J.H.? ƒгeewёbnovel.com
I initialed {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} it just in case it’s not!!

— Who’s S.J.H.?
└ Seo1 Jehyun, the Hunter who got his rank corrected this time (post link)
— Yeah, later they also said it was a guy. There’s only one male Hunter who went in from SH, that’s Seo Jehyun
└ Oh damn, that’s kinda unexpectedㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ It’s not easy to go around looking for the bodies of casualties inside a Dungeonㅜ... Must’ve been really impressive
└ But hearing this and looking at the photos again, he kinda seems like he’d be niceㅋㅋㅋㅋ
— But in that leaked reporter video he was rude as hell, what is it
[Chatter] Seo1 Jehyun is rude as fuck, he’s kinda famous for it in the industry
(leaked reporter video link)
Even here the reporter is asking questions and he doesn’t answer a single one, he just shoves people and leaves
Comments 213
— Dude he just cleared a Dungeon and his guild master is unconscious and they’re still asking him that shit, the reporter’s the one with legendary bad manners, what are you even sayingㅋㅋㅋ
— What “industry” are you even talking about? If you look at Haeseong Hunter interviews they hype up his personality like crazy, is that a different industry or what
— Hunter who just crawled out of a Dungeon and can’t answer anything vs reporter who keeps firing questions, and when they don’t get answers they put out a video with a sneaky-ass title
└ When you look at it like that, it’s honestly ridiculousㅋㅋㅋㅋ

This time the newly S-rank-assessed Hunter is fire-type

— Did an article drop?
└ Yeah https://www.hunternews.co.kr/news/6301842

Hunter personality controversy ㄷㄷ
Leaked video, and Kwon Taehan suddenly grabs Seo Jehyun by the collar
Title
Comments
— So which one of them is the “personality controversy” then?
└ Kwon Taehan, obviously
└ But Kwon Taehan looks like he’s the only one losing his shit, did Seo Jehyun do something wrong?
└ He dared to, to an S-rank Hunter ㄷㄷ
Seo Jehyun is fucking hilarious
The reporters are loud as hell and surrounding him, and Seo Jehyun just shoulder-checks his way through with his physical build
Title
Comments
— The part where they try to swear but get scared halfway and clamp their mouths shut is hilarious
— Hard to tell on video, but is he that crazy in person? Why is everyone reacting like that
└ Even on video it’s crazy
└ There are a lot of solo photos so it doesn’t feel real, I guess
└ That’s not crazy to you? I literally just got up to go buy bread and you’re like “dude” you fuck
If you get shoulder-checked by Seo Jehyun you apologize, that’s real
I can’t say details, but I saw Seo Jehyun once in Busan before, and back then too there were tons of people, so I got shoulder-checked.
For the record, I got hit and I apologized, fuck
Comments
— For real?
— A guy who’s consistent whether the cameras are on or off ㄷㄷ
— Don’t know if it’s true but that’s funny as hell, what a loser bastardㅋㅋ

I pulled the car over and slept for about an hour, then forced my eyes open when Im Haekyung’s hand woke me.
“Jehyun.”
“.......”
“Are you up?”
Im Haekyung, for their part, looked at me calmly without any sign of sleepiness, like they’d slept or something.
“No.”
“You are up.”
“.......”
“Shall we go?”
Yeah, an hour was a long time to wait, I figured. Without a word, I started the car.
“Don’t speed.”
“Yes.”
“If you don’t want to come out of a Dungeon and then drop dead on the road, don’t speed.”
“Not me. The car’ll die. And you’ll be fine too, Guild Master, since you’re S-rank.”
“Stop talking back and just drive.”
At Im Haekyung’s words, I started driving, speeding a reasonable amount.
By the time we got near my place, between my body rank going up and whatever else, it felt like I was going to just fucking die.
“From here... go on your own. Drop me off.”
“.......”
I interpreted Im Haekyung’s silence however I wanted and stopped in front of my building. I got out and tapped the window to say goodbye, and Im Haekyung rolled it down.
“Get going.”
“Jehyun... you really do seem like you don’t have any thoughts. It makes me curious what you’re thinking.”
Why are you picking a fight at my place?
I grabbed the window frame with my hand and stared at Im Haekyung, curling one corner of my mouth.
“The person who dragged me into an S-rank Dungeon whenever they felt like it....” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“You came out alive.”
“Yeah. I would’ve been lying down at home comfortable, but you dragged me all the way into an S-rank Dungeon and then barely saved me, so thank you very much.”
“Yes. I’ll accept your thanks.”
Im Haekyung answered with a shameless smile. I stared at them and asked.
“When should I come to Haeseong?”
“Come when you feel like it. If you transfer right now, public opinion would be fun. Transferring to Haeseong while Guild Master Song is... unconscious.”
“So?”
“Well... you probably don’t care about that kind of thing, but I care about my reputation and public opinion, stuff like that. It’s a pretty important factor, more than you’d think.”
After saying that, Im Haekyung flicked their hand toward my building and said in a calm voice,
“If you really want to act like a good person, consider that kind of thing too.”
“Consider what.”
“I told you. Reputation and public opinion.”
“I already have a pretty good one.”
“Yeah.... Rest.”
With that, their window went ziiing as it rolled up.
‘Now they’re just ignoring me.’
I watched Im Haekyung’s car for a moment, then headed inside.
