Webtoon writer Gian84 is creating issues and controversy every day, while poignantly satirizing the atmosphere of overheating real estate in Korea through’The King of Restoration’. Webtoon readers expressed their support for “This is Korea’s reality” and “exciting” to Gian84’s works that deal with real estate issues without hesitation. “Do” voices criticism. In this process, Gian 84 continues to lead the conflict with a composition reminiscent of President Moon Jae-in and his surroundings.
Kicking the door, “The nobles and slaves are the apartments”
On the 2nd, Naver Webtoon posted 329 episodes of’The King of Rehabilitation’ and ‘2nd episode of Moving in’. This episode also has a problematic scene following the last episode. Among the characters, Kim Nam-jung, who is frustrated by the steep rise in house prices, kicks the front door of the protagonist’s house, excited about moving into an apartment, and spits out a line saying, “Someone sits and earns a billion, it’s like X!!”
The king of rehabilitation then said, ″One nobleman and one slave in the same status. It was not a job but an apartment that decided it.” In the dichotomy that clearly separates those who own a house from those who don’t, interpretations are emerging as to whether it was a circumvention of criticism of President Moon Jae-in over the scene where Kim Nam-jung kicked the door.

Kim Nam-jung beats his head in front of rising house prices even though he earns 5 million won a month
In the episode 328 of the King of Rehabilitation released a week ago, the first episode of moving in, a passage reminiscent of President Moon appeared. Kim Nam-jung, who earned a fairly large amount of money of 5 million won a month for delivery, suddenly collapsed on the street and pounded his head, frustrated by the fact that real estate prices rose more than 100 million won while working hard. Some of the scenes were reminiscent of the so-called Daegaemun (Moon Jae-in even if the head is broken), who blindly supported President Moon Jae-in, and the seolwangseolrae came and went.
There is a reason, not just excessive speculation. In the same work last October, Kian 84 said, “Sometimes it’s amazing. Even if I work so hard, I can’t see the way to buy a house.” The’moon’ that appeared at this time was also an object reminiscent of President Moon.

The real violence of the’Rehabilitation King’ hidden by the’Criticism of the President’
It is an exhausting debate whether or not Gian 84 criticized the incumbent president. The more important problem behind it was the way Gian 84 described public rental housing. Reinstatement King Episode 326,’Ending the Subscription Contest’, said, “I hate it because it is only packaged in good faith. There is a scene where they shout with a knife saying, “I live in such a house.” At this time, Gian 84 painted the rental housing in an old and shabby appearance, as if cracked and collapsed at once.
By this point, the group he wants to represent in the King of Return is pretty clear. Like Nam-jung Kim, the 3040 generation who are frustrated by the steep rise in house prices despite working hard to escape from the status of a’homeless slave’, the’real estate satire’ depicted by the King Repatriation certainly gives them the same pleasure as cider.
Another clear thing is that there are people who are waiting for rental housing announcements to pop up every time where Gian 84 can never relate, and want to create hope in them. To such people, Gian84’The King of Restoration’ is itself sufficiently insulting and violent.

In August of last year, Gian 84 presented an episode in which a woman succeeded in finding a job through sexual repayment in the King of Return to School, which became controversial, and eventually apologized. Since then, the king of return to school has chosen to focus on the’real estate’ issue by completely changing the subject, and is recording successful scores every week.
It could be argued that the Gian 84 webtoon is not viewed as a work itself, but overly politicized and interpreted. Nevertheless, whether he intended or not, the comment section of the recent’Rehabilitation King’ has been flooded with criticism and malice in politics, especially the current regime. Now, the reinstatement king has only fallen into firewood that expresses anger against the current regime, and if the author’s intention is it, it will be a success, otherwise it is a deception.
