[Everyone, why don't we go to To Your Heart's official PulseX account and show them their place?]
[Don't forget AxisPlay. Let's flood their comment section.]
Then suddenly, a few new hashtags began to trend on PulseX:
#ArenFrost'sDebut#
#ToYourHeartFinale#
The fans of Ventage went to AxisPlay's PulseX account and began bashing them in the comment section.
[Stop buying hashtags! You are trash! Your dramas are trash!]
[Seriously... do you think this would change anything? Improve your show's budget instead of spending money on buying hashtags.]
Aren, who was still asleep, finally getting a chance to rest properly, was suddenly woken up by the constant notifications on his phone.
His phone was constantly vibrating, not stopping for even a second.
"Ahhh, what is it?!" yelling, he reached out for his phone, which was lying on the bed not too far away.
He picked it up, unlocking it to check what the matter was.
His whole phone was getting flooded with private messages on PulseX.
He opened one of them, read only the first line, and immediately blocked the sender's ID. He checked some more messages before understanding the pattern.
"Why are random people telling me to die?" He murmured in confusion, forgetting for a moment that he was the hated idol now.
"Ah, right. They are telling the original owner to die." He remembered and sat upright.
He hadn't explored PulseX of the original owner after transmigrating into his body, so he wasn't aware of the amount of hate he received.
His last post was from a year ago, just before Ventage's disbandment.
He checked the comments and then instantly regretted it.
"Woah, that's some next level hate."
Even he didn't know the original Aren was hated to this extent.
He then checked his following list, finding the accounts of Blackshore Management, Ventage's group members, some brands the original owner had collaborated with in the past, and some other celebrities the original owner considered his friends.
However, after checking the original owner's LinkChat history yesterday, Aren was sure none of them considered the original owner as their friend.
"But how come the hate messages are suddenly back?"
Aren was puzzled; the hate messages were mostly from around the time Ventage disbanded, but today suddenly the fans returned to curse him.
What was different?
To find out, Aren just had to search his own name on the internet, and right below, hundreds of articles appeared.
The recent ones were on top, telling him the latest news about him.
He saw a number of articles talking about his debut tonight on AxisPlay.
"Huh? Even HBS published an article about this?"
HBS was a leading top-tier media house, and they didn't publish just anything. His debut must be a hot topic then.
However, the title of their article was different from the others.
'Is the maknae of one of the most popular idol groups on his last legs? Why debut with a cheap web drama? Find out.'
"Huh?"
Aren clicked on the article, curious to find out what the article was about.
In the article, there were pictures of Aren's apartment building, which looked really cheap, and boxes of cup noodles being delivered to his home.
The article explained that Aren's wealth was expended, and he was forced to debut with a cheap drama like To Your Heart. He was surviving on cup noodles and living in a cheap one room apartment.
And to their credit, all the information was true.
"But how can you just publish a picture of my apartment?!"
Aren yelled in frustration.
"What if some crazy fan came to hurt me?"
However, to their credit, they only published the picture of the building, not his room number.
Aren's room was inside a cheap building with eight floors.
Moreover, there was a security guard at the door, so he should be safe.
However, he was still thinking about changing his residence.
Under the article, he was being trolled.
[Hahaha, he deserves it! I hope he spends all his money and then just die!]
[Even I live in a better building than this, hahaha.]
[This is Karma! He used to bully Theon, Axel, Jax, and Lucas! Now he is suffering for it, bawaahah.]
[Let him die! I don't care!]
[Hey everyone, Theon and Axel had shared a post about Aren's new drama.]
Reading that, Aren's brows furrowed as he went to their profile and checked.
They had posted a similar post, the banner of To Your Heart shared today by AxisPlay's official PulseX account with Aren's picture on it.
They had written in the caption — 'Good luck for your drama, Aren. Ventage Forever❤️'
Below their posts, comments were filled with praises.
[Awww, Theon and Axel are so kind. Aren's not deserving at all!]
[Even after all the suffering Aren caused them, they still wish the best for him!]
[I feel so sad for them.]
Then the fans suddenly began commenting under Aren's last post.
[You are so shameless! Even after your friends wish you luck, you still don't thank them?]
[Seriously... I have never hated someone so much!]
[Poor Axel and Theon... They don't know how evil Aren is!]
Aren felt disgusted by the comments and most of all, by Axel and Theon's pretense.
If they really cared about him, then why don't just message him on LinkChat?
Also, when the original owner asked them for help, did they ever reply? No!
This was all just a pretense to appear kind and good-natured in the public eye.
"I can guarantee even that HBS article was Blackshore Management's doing to not let Aren get the spotlight."
Being the CEO of the top entertainment agency, Aren understood all the tactics that went on behind the scenes in the industry.
The one who had more money and resources to spend would naturally come out on top.
Aren sighed, tired after reading so many hateful comments.
Instead, he decided to get on with his day. He had to go through that hellish gym training with John and, at night, watch his drama.
He would give a response to the haters with his acting.
