The renowned entertainment-industry mogul San Mu had died young in his previous life, before he could fulfill his ambitions. In this life, he opened his eyes in a parallel world where the entertainment industry was just beginning to take off.
His current problems: no reputation and no money. What was he supposed to do?
No worries! That's no big deal.
After all, in this life, San Mu started out owning an entire high-rise building!
Even if it was just an abandoned building...
Build wealth through literature.
Break through with painting.
Move people's hearts with music.
Show off real talent in dance competitions.
And on top of that, he has film and television works, plus entertainment projects covering all kinds of fields!
San Mu also has a hidden golden finger called "appropriation."
But this kind of appropriation isn't what you might think.
For example:
One day, San Mu runs into a stunningly handsome high school boy who has dropped out because his family is poor.
Overcome by a sudden burst of kindness, he plans to sponsor the boy so he can go back to high school...
Ahem!
No, that's not it.
He's actually coveting the boy's good looks!
San Mu: "Kid, you've got a great face. I'll take it! I'll make your looks famous all over the world!"
Or, for instance:
One day, San Mu passes by an underground bar and is drawn to the son of a once-prominent musical family, who's singing to earn money.
Overcome by another sudden burst of kindness, San Mu plans to write him a song for free...
Ahem!
No, that's not it.
He's just captivated by the boy's heavenly voice!
San Mu: "Kid number two, your voice is fantastic. I'll take it! I'll make your singing echo around the world!"
So, "appropriation" really means "abducting wayward young men."
