About this story
An empire worth 1,000 trillion won built with advanced optical technology, delivering overwhelming excitement. Kang Hyun, a former electrician turned paparazzi at a failing studio, goes back in time after reaching the brink of death. Remembering his miserable past life at rock bottom, the only things he has left are his advanced knowledge of electrical engineering and valuable insight into how money and capital flow. Using a self-modified high-performance optical lens and intelligent drone technology as his weapons, Kang Hyun targets the top 0.1% of South Korea’s elite. The dirty scandals of powerful families and the hidden connections between business and politics captured by his lens become more than just exposés—they turn into powerful tools that influence stock short selling and corporate mergers. “Not everything you see is real, but everything captured by my lens is the truth.” With this cold principle, Kang Hyun uses a massive source of capital called Hong Seolhwa as his financial base and rises as a predator in the information market. Breaking down the strong walls of powerful elites with technology, he eventually becomes the ruler of an unprecedented “shadow empire” controlling wealth worth 1,000 trillion won.
