Anonymous: LOL wow, this guy’s pulled every trick in the book.

Anonymous: Seriously disgusting.

Anonymous: Is this actually credible?

↳ Anonymous: Even just from the screenshots, it looks real. Could it be fake?

↳ Anonymous: How could it be fake? LOL. Don’t you see the Xeno guild logo right there in front of the blurred nickname on GameTalk?

↳ Anonymous: Yeah, doesn’t look fake.

Anonymous: There’s no way this is fake. This is just Yapdeuk getting what he deserves.

↳ Anonymous: For real, it’s karma.

Anonymous: And he still kept streaming through all this? On what confidence?? Was he just convinced that if he threw money around, people would keep licking his boots and siding with him? LOL. Should we call that naive or just plain stupid…

Anonymous: Like how the hell did he think he could just live like this? He mooches enhancement materials, buys people off, acts superior, talks shit behind people’s backs, secretly monitors, pretends he figured stuff out himself… There are so many points to address I don’t even know where to start.

Anonymous: So what’s the summary? Give me the TL;DR.

↳ Anonymous: LOL I’m about to lose it.

↳ Anonymous: The TL;DR is at the top, you dumbass. LOL.

Anonymous: And this… this is the so-called full clear raid party? Unbelievable.

↳ Anonymous: Did all the real full clears just die off? Who’s the full clear now? LOL.

Anonymous: I just emailed NGA using this link, asking them not to recognize the full clear.

↳ Anonymous: LMAO, such a busybody.

↳ Anonymous: I sent one too, haha. To the dude above me, enjoy getting stepped on your whole life~

Hello. I’m one of the editors who works on Yapdeuk’s NuTube channel. Posting proof upfront since I know some people will demand it, this is a screenshot from the rough cut of his February 1st stream.

I’ve been editing for his channel for about 8 months. Started as a side gig during a break. The first month, he paid on time. Then it started getting delayed by about a week each month, and now it’s been nearly two months since I’ve been paid. He keeps giving me work but won’t pay.

Other editors have talked about going public, but the old head editor quit recently, and that fizzled out. I hope this exposes Yapdeuk’s double-faced behavior to more people. Thanks for reading this long post.

↳ Anonymous: Wow… stay strong…

↳ Anonymous: Hang in there…

↳ Anonymous: Okay, not defending Yapdeuk, but aren’t there a lot of streamers who delay payments to editors? Maybe because they reinvest into the game and don’t have enough cash on hand? Takes like 1-2 months to get payout from platforms.

↳ Anonymous: Bruh, then delay your own company’s salary too. “Sorry, our cash flow’s bad, you’ll get paid two months late” – would you be okay with that? LOL

↳ Anonymous: If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have hired editors in the first place. If your company doesn’t pay you on time, you’re not just like “Oh well, they’re struggling,” you’d be on strike with a headband by lunch. Wake up, dude.

↳ Anonymous: Stay strong ;; that top comment is right. Don’t voluntarily be a pushover, guys.

Anonymous: So Yapdeuk still hasn’t paid for the enhancement materials he took? LOL.

↳ Anonymous: Yeah, I just asked someone who recently joined Xeno. They didn’t know all the details but said Yapdeuk did take mats for Demon Hunter and still hasn’t paid up. Dude’s insane. It costs like hundreds of won per click. Why’s he stealing from other people’s pockets? Pay for your own gear.

Anonymous: Man, he’s a fully evolved piece of work.

Anonymous: And what about the supports? Did they all take money? Sure, no one resists money. And yeah, some of their behavior was sus. But at least compensate them properly for all that effort. Anyone who’s done a raid without a support knows it’s hell. Plenty still haven’t cleared Phase 3. What a mess.

Anonymous: Just unsubbed. LOL.

↳ Anonymous: What’s “unsub”?

↳ Anonymous: Canceling subscription.

Anonymous: I’m a support who ran Demon Hunter with Xeno. I didn’t take money. They offered, but I said no. I think the other support mentioned in the post did. I just don’t like Xeno. Honestly, I wanted to sabotage the raid, barely healed, intentionally mistimed wipes during Phase 3. Call me petty, I don’t care. It was my call, so blame me, not the others.

Matching the wipe timing during Phase 3 was hard anyway. I tried to mess them up, but Yapdeuk suddenly started calling the correct timings like he had divine insight. That’s when I realized: he was stream sniping.

Seriously, he was probably watching another raid like Human’s from Phase 1 to Phase 3, copying mechanics like he figured them out himself.

Let’s be honest, most big raid teams do a little stream sniping. But this guy made it look like he came up with everything.

Also, I still haven’t received my loot share. LOL.

↳ Anonymous: LOL what even is this guy

↳ Anonymous: You’re wild, man…

↳ Anonymous: Is that something to be proud of, dude?

↳ Anonymous: But seriously, doesn’t this all come back to Yapdeuk’s karma? LOL

↳ Anonymous: For real… going on a raid with this guy was a mistake from the start

↳ Anonymous: He didn’t even give you a loot cut? You didn’t take money either?

↳ Anonymous: So he treats supports like trash. Figures.

↳ Anonymous: Stop the support hate ;;

Anonymous: Stream sniping Human? Fine, let’s say everyone does that secretly. If you don’t get caught, it’s whatever. Some even say “This mechanic was too hard, so we referenced other clears.” That’s fair.

But acting like you discovered the mechanic? LOL.

Hiring someone to give you real-time updates?

And paying that guy, while leaving your editors unpaid? LOL.

That’s not just shady, that’s scummy.

↳ Anonymous: For real. LOL

↳ Anonymous: Honestly, I don’t even care who got the full clear anymore, who would’ve thought Yapdeuk was this much of a mess? I guess only his closest insiders knew.

↳ Anonymous: Stream sniping? Sure, whatever. But pretending it was all your own work and benefitting from a bug to get the full clear? That’s where it crosses the line.

Anonymous: Xeno… first clear? Nah. First clown.

↳ Anonymous: LOL “First Clown,” I’m dead

Anonymous: This guy is seriously broken. Has he never worked in a real job before?

↳ Anonymous: Never did the military, never worked in an office. Dude needs a real part-time job to learn the value of money. He has no idea how to deal with people. Still just a damn kid.

↳ Anonymous: Yapdeuk’s been around since he was barely twenty, started streaming when he was a literal noob. He doesn’t know jack about real life. People management? Pfft. What now? Just keel over and die, I guess. LOL.

Anonymous: What a psycho. LOL.

Anonymous: Just cross-posted this to other communities and sent another report to NGA. This is nuts, right? LOL

↳ Anonymous: Totally insane. 2222 LOL you’re doing great.

“Ah, I didn’t bring a lighter.”

As Yeojin patted down her coat pockets, Dohee held out a lighter. A click rang out, and the tip of the cigarette lit up. Breath and smoke mingled in the air, fading into the cold sky. He couldn’t even remember the last time he had a proper smoke.

Dohee and Yeojin had stepped outside to take a quick cigarette break. The past few days, he hadn’t had a real chance to smoke properly, because he’d been with Moonhyuk. He used to think quitting would be impossible for life, but maybe if Moonhyuk asked him to, he could pull it off easily. Not that he knew if Moonhyuk would ever ask him to quit.

“Watching someone crash and burn is so fucking entertaining.”

Dohee let out a dry laugh at Yeojin’s amused comment. If it were anyone else, maybe he’d think twice, but it was Yapdeuk. Fair game. Yeojin, still glued to her phone, was busy smashing the refresh button, reading the endless flood of comments.

The four of them were sitting in the living room earlier, faces buried in their phones, reading the post Yeohoo had found. Even Moonhyuk had muttered, “Unbelievable…” at one point. That alone said everything about the impact the post had caused.

And as if that weren’t enough, other editors and raid members were starting to pile on with additional posts in the comments. The fire wasn’t dying down. In less than an hour, the post had spread to most major gaming communities, and Yapdeuk’s subscriber count was plummeting.

“This is why you gotta live a clean life,” Yeojin muttered, flicking the ash off her cigarette as she shoved her phone back into her coat. She’d walked in looking like a ghost, but now her face looked relaxed. Dohee, too, couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from tugging upward. The weight in his chest finally felt a little lighter.

“NGA’s probably gonna start getting nervous now.”

“Nervous? Fuck that. They better be groveling at our feet like, ‘We’re so sorry for the inconvenience caused by the bug. Here, take this! Take that! First clear goes to Human! Xeno ain’t shit!’, and even that wouldn’t be enough right now. I’m genuinely offended.”

Yeojin launched into a rant, grumbling at Dohee’s words. It made him laugh all over again. Just a little while ago, Yeojin was talking about quitting the game with him, and now here she was. Smoke and laughter hung together in the cold air.

Right around the time their cigarettes were burning down to the filters, Yeojin suddenly spoke up.

“Hey, Dohee.”

“Yeah?”

Dohee looked up, meeting her eyes. For some reason, they were sparkling. In that split second, Dohee felt a chill of unease.

“It’s IngSupp, right?”

The question came out of nowhere. Dohee blinked slowly. His thoughts came to a full stop.

“…What is?”

Yeojin shrugged and answered,

“The person you said used to annoy you.”
