The shaman, after observing Yang, comments, "You seem to be the most pitiful," which brings Yang to tears. The shaman adds, "It was a blow you were bound to face. It's better to face it early.

Yang Chi-seung recently suffered a loss of approximately $1.5 billion due to a building rental scam, leading to the closure of his gym. The building was constructed under a condition of donation, requiring it to be handed over to Gangnam District Office after 20 years of free use, a fact Yang claims he was unaware of at the time of the contract. Recently, Yang announced his new position as a managing director of a 10 billion-dollar apartment community.
