In his previous life, Cao Yisen suffered a crushing defeat on Wall Street.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to a time before any of the storms had begun.

This time, he wouldn't chase rising prices or believe the hype. He would take the other side of the market when everyone else was at their most euphoric.

Short Kakao, buy the Netflix dip;

invest in Starship, acquire CUBE;

from ADOR to HYBE, from THE BLACK LABEL to YG, and then SM...

On one side, he shorts the market and harvests bubbles.

On the other, he calls the shots in Korean entertainment and builds idol groups.

Other people follow stars. He studies valuations.

Other people fight over first place. He fights for a seat on the board.

As one girl group after another takes the stage under his guidance, and Korea's biggest entertainment companies gradually become part of his capital empire, Cao Yisen finally realizes:

Idols, traffic, and romance are all, at their core, another kind of high-leverage game.

And popularity, public opinion, and faith can be pushed to their limits more easily than stocks.

This time, he won't just short the market. He'll also stand inside the system,

and prove for himself:

What is the peninsula's myth really worth?
