Chapter 24 - Cheating Day Chapter 24
Baekban Debate
“Do you like mom?” Do you like Dad? Are you a “bubok” person? Are you dipping it? I will only get a taste of the most intense debate in the 5,000-year history of the Korean Peninsula. For the side dish of a baekban discussion.
“This is Baek Woo-jin.”
I wonder if he’s upset about losing the ‘Mul Naengmyeon vs Bibim Naengmyeon’ debate.
Following yesterday, Baek Woo-jin came to the house again today.
The number of viewers has increased quite a bit.
At the 20-minute mark since starting the broadcast, the number of viewers has surpassed 2,800, thanks to the ‘Mul Naengmyeon vs Bibim Naengmyeon’ video I posted last night.
In the past 18 hours, it has recorded 230,000 views, and the comment reactions are decent, with a very high like-to-dislike ratio.
Setting new records every day is both thrilling and makes me eager to broadcast.
“Today, we will have a debate on which is more delicious, chocolate or candy.” The winner of the debate is given the right to have dinner paid for by the opponent.
“Yes.”
“Then, let’s have a discussion with Mr. Baek Woo-jin, a candy supporter, candy supremacist, and chocolate discriminator who has licked candy every single day for 32 years.”
Introduced Baek Woo-jin.
“Diabetes is like an older brother.” I don’t have diabetes.
I took a moment to gather my thoughts.
No matter how I tried, there was no way to deny it, so I stared at the camera and admitted it.
“A man as sweet as chocolate.” It’s for the diabetic uncle’s side dishes.
Crazy, lol
They told me not to do it, but now they’re the first to call themselves the diabetes uncle, lol.
How delicious must that chocolate have been…….
Don’t self-harm
You’re worse, haha.
“I’ll start first.” “Are you okay?”
“Yes.”
Baek Woo-jin answered leisurely.
It really looks like they came out sharpening their knives.
But today, I have thoroughly prepared logical and rational grounds as well.
Chocolate. It’s so delicious, isn’t it? Everyone, regardless of age or gender, likes it. Do you know why?
I looked at Baek Woo-jin and asked.
“I have no idea.”
“It’s precisely because of the texture.” The softness that melts gently in your mouth. Even children with weak teeth and elderly people with toothaches can enjoy it. But what about candy?
“How is it?”
It’s stiff. It doesn’t melt well. In the end, it will be chewed to bits, but what about our child with weak teeth? Elderly people without teeth can’t eat at all.
“No, that’s not it.”

“If it ends with you not being able to eat, that’s still okay.” But making you eat that hard candy. This is almost elder abuse. Giving candy to a child? It’s child abuse!
As soon as we start, I’m feeling dizzy, haha.
What, are you committing elder abuse over just one piece of candy? LOL
Child abuse is unacceptable.
Look at Baek Woo-jin’s expression
“Wait a moment.” “Does anyone force-feed candy?”
“Of course.”
“Who is it?”
“Restaurant.” The candy placed in front when you come out after eating and go to pay. Aren’t you going to eat that? “Can you hold off on eating that while waiting for the bill?”
“If you don’t eat, that’s fine.”
“No.” “After having a warm bowl of soup, you say you can resist mint candy?”
I can’t stand that
Ah, I can hold off on smoking after eating gukbap, but I can’t resist peppermint candy.
This is acknowledged.
It’s total nonsense, but strangely, it’s convincing.
“In our lives, situations where candy is forced upon us are so prevalent.” “This is all elder abuse, child violence, and discrimination against diabetes patients!”
Baek Woo-jin frowned deeply.
I don’t know how long they can hold out under the elder abuse frame, but since they say they are well-prepared, I am willing to listen to what they have to say.
“I prefer it when it’s firm.”
“Huh?”
“I like it firm.”
“…….”
“Why do you insist on biting into something hard?” It hurts. How nice it would be to lick and eat it slowly.
“Is it really good to lick something hard for a long time?”
I slowly turned my head to check the chat window.
There are still many people who don’t know why I’m flustered, so question marks keep popping up.
“What?”
“How can you say that something hard and long-lasting is good?” Woojin, get a grip! “This is a full viewing area!”
Only then did Baek Woo-jin, realizing my intention, open his eyes wide like saucers.
“What are you talking about!” Bro, are you crazy?
What does this even mean? LOL
This side dish is really crazy, lol
This crazy old man, You’re the one driving him crazy
Good thoughts, good thoughts
Baek Woo-jin likes it firm…….
Advertisements
What do you mean??
It’s better not to know.
“Please just act normally!”
“Alright.” Got it.
I wanted to be funny, I wanted to win, and I wanted to bury Baek Woo-jin.
Even without going this far, my argument is perfect today.
I took a breath and continued my argument.
“Even if it’s not the texture, there are many reasons why chocolate is delicious.” Especially the sweet and bittersweet taste is often compared to love. So that’s why people exchange chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Mr. Woojin, you know about Valentine’s Day too, right?
“I don’t know.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t know.”
“…….”
“What is that?”
What is that, you idiot?
Isn’t this the kind of thing you say at times like this? lol
It was blocked from the start, right?
It seems like they’re determined not to get involved with Banchan-yong
You should have experienced Valentine’s Day to understand it
I was expecting this level of opposition.
There are many ways to elicit the words I want.
“According to legend, Valentine’s Day originated from the practice of sharing chocolates with loved ones every year on February 14th.”
I examined Baek Woo-jin.
The guy who loves explaining things can’t possibly ignore such a good lecture topic.
Moreover, since they spoke incorrectly, they must be eager to correct it.
“No.”
As expected, the guy finally spoke up.
The origin of Valentine’s Day is Saint Valentine. Roman legion soldiers were prohibited from marrying. Even though I had someone I loved, we couldn’t be together, so there were many problems. The priest named Valentino, who felt sorry for the situation, secretly married them.
“I see.”
While preparing for the debate, I already knew the content, but I pretended not to know it for the sake of the viewers.
“Then, to honor Valentino, who was even executed for breaking the law, the Feast of Saint Valentine, that is, Valentine’s Day, was created.”
Thank you for the explanation.
“…….”
“That’s right.” Valentine’s Day has such a historical origin. It’s fundamentally different from White Day, which was commercially and intentionally created by a certain company to sell candy.
White Day has no foundation, that’s what I’m saying!

Fundamental
This is big, isn’t it?
“Well, why eat chocolate on such an important day?” Of course, it’s delicious. Because I’m happy. And because I can feel love. Mr. Woojin doesn’t know what love is, does he?
“…….”
“You don’t know, do you?”
“Jin.”
“Yes?”
“You.”
“That’s right.” Actually, I don’t know either. You would know if you had tried it. Anyway, so I prepared scientific evidence.
I showed the prepared article to the viewers.
“Neurotransmitters in the brain that help with love.” Science, October 18, 2010. This is an article written by guest reporter Lee Seong-kyu. In this article, phenylethylamine is described as the love potion.
He/she emphasized by circling it.
“Chocolate contains a substance called phenylalanine, which changes into phenylethylamine when it enters the human body.” In other words, it feels like being in love.
Honestly, there’s no such thing as a love potion.
“It’s delicious, and it’s a feeling of love that Mr. Woojin and I don’t know.” Chocolate that indirectly lets you experience it. Is there any food better than this?
After finishing the argument, I looked at the chat window and everyone was raving about chocolate.
This time, it’s my victory again.
“You’ve prepared a lot.”
Baek Woo-jin slowly nodded his head.
“But Mr. Chanyong is overlooking a very important fact.”
“What is it?”
“I agree with the saying that chocolate is delicious and teaches us about love.” But that chocolate doesn’t taste good without sugar either.
Baek Woo-jin continued his argument.
In 2006, Lotte Confectionery launched a product called Dream Cocoa. Since it’s the product that popularized dark chocolate, there probably aren’t many people who don’t know about it.
“Yes.”
“In the beginning, products with 99% cocoa content were also released.” Do you remember?
“Ah.”
This is dangerous.
The taste of biting into a crayon
It was really, really bad.
Sometimes, kids with strange tastes buy it and throw it away, lol.
What is Dream Kakao?
There are people who don’t know DreamCacao.
These days, its popularity has waned a bit.
“Reports are coming in through the chat window as well.” That’s right. The chocolate with 99% cocoa content tasted like a crayon. In the end, it was discontinued because it didn’t taste good. On the other hand, the 56% with sugar is still selling very well. In other words, it means that chocolate doesn’t taste good without sugar.
Advertisements
“But.”
I can’t think of a rebuttal after that.
“Are you really saying that you enjoy eating crayons?”
“No.” I can’t eat that either.
No matter how much I like chocolate, I can’t eat chocolate with 99% cocoa.
“That’s right.” I admit that chocolate is good for the body. There are studies that show it can reduce stress and provide exercise benefits, and it even includes substances released during love. But we are talking about which one is tastier, chocolate or candy.
“I object.”
When I raised an objection, Baek Woo-jin raised his palm as if to say, “Go ahead, try to refute this.”
There is an abundance of leisure.
“You claimed that cocoa doesn’t taste good, but all the chocolate sold in stores contains sugar.” In other words, chocolate should be considered a mixture of cocoa and sugar.
I opened the National Institute of the Korean Language’s Standard Korean Dictionary and searched for “chocolate.”
“Look.” It is made by roasting the seeds of the cacao tree’s fruit and mixing the powder with milk, sugar, and flavorings. Even the dictionary describes chocolate like this. I can’t separate them. And in the first place, if you take the sugar out of chocolate, at least the cocoa remains. Candy without sugar is just a smell, isn’t it?
It was a thoughtless remark, but even I think it’s truly perfect logic.
No matter how smart Baek Woo-jin is, he won’t be able to break this.
“No.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head.
Candy. It means “yeot powder” by using the characters for “sand” and “yeot.” Originally, “candy” was a word that meant “sugar.”
I couldn’t understand, so I just blinked.
“Then, when the word ‘sugar’ came into existence, its meaning changed.”
“Are you saying that ‘sugar’ is a new word?” “When?”
“The Joseon Dynasty.”
I have nothing to say.
“Because it is a white and fine powder like snow, they attached the character for snow (설) and the character for candy (탕) to name it sugar (설탕).” Since then, the word “sugar,” which originally meant sugar, has changed its usage to refer only to processed products made by melting and solidifying sugar, that is, candy.
“It’s difficult.”
“Originally, candy was sugar.” Not candy.
Today, I’ve gained more useless knowledge.
When I watch Ugenius, I learn a lot of amazing things, but none of it is useful at all
So candy was originally sugar.
Candy is originally sugar. It’s made by melting sugar.
“So what does that mean?”
Chocolate without sugar doesn’t taste good. So, you’re saying that sugar, in other words, candy, is tastier.
Baek Woo-jin straightened his back and lifted his chin.
“I told you earlier.” Chocolate itself is just a mix of cocoa and sugar. Chocolate and cocoa are not the same thing. Is cocoa just the original form of chocolate? It’s the same thing.
“Who was the person that brought up the ‘original’ concept while talking about Valentine’s Day and White Day?” The foundation is Kakao.

The necklace of success given to Baek Woo-jin
Right? If we’re going to talk about the basics, we should stick to the basics, right?
Baek Woo-jin won.
Chocolate is weak.
“Moreover, in many countries, chocolate is considered a subset of candy.” In the United States, caramel and chocolate are also included in the candy category.
Baek Woo-jin’s assertion that candy is a broader concept than chocolate has been firmly established.
The viewers are already concluding by chanting for Candy and Baek Woo-jin.
Baek Woo-jin looks at me with a triumphant snort.
It has an expression that says, “Do you have anything more to say?”
As expected, it’s hard to beat Baek Woo-jin when approaching things logically.
“Mr. Woojin.”
“Yes.”
“Where are you currently affiliated?”
“Why is that?”
“Because it is the most important issue in today’s discussion.” Where are you affiliated?
“Ujini Company.”
Ujini Company is a corporation that manages the YouTube channel Ujiniers, and it was directly established by Baek Woo-jin.
“Ujini Company.” It’s a company that operates the Ugenius channel, which has 1.17 million subscribers. Mr. Woojin is the representative there, right?
“Yes.”
“I understand that you received a large investment last year.” It was also reported in the news. Could you please tell me where you received the investment?
Baek Woo-jin stood there blankly for a moment before speaking.
“Kakao.”
“That’s right.” Kakao. It’s one of the major corporations in our country that deals with various things like banking, payments, gaming, and entertainment. The investment amount must have been considerable, right?
“What…….”
“I’m envious.”
“Yes?”
“However, I have a question.” Is it okay for someone who received an investment from Kakao to say that candy is better than chocolate?
“What does that mean?”
“As you mentioned, chocolate is essentially cocoa.” Cacao has no taste. Cacao is garbage without sugar. In other words, Kakao is trash. Isn’t this the claim?
“No.”
“How can candy taste better while eating the cocoa’s rust?” The person who claimed that bibim naengmyeon is tastier than mul naengmyeon in the last debate is someone who doesn’t even know gratitude. How can the person who claimed I was a parricide do this? Are you a parricide?
F*ck
Am I crazy for real? LOL
I thought things were finally going somewhat normally
You’re talking nonsense, seriously lol
Advertisements
They seriously debate about side dishes like crazy
“That’s not what it means!”
What is it not? They say cacao doesn’t taste good! They say you can’t do anything without sugar, right? What is the sugar in cacao? Is it you? Kakao is nothing without Baek Woo-jin?
“Hyung!”
When someone is talking nonsense, you shouldn’t give them any space.
The moment the other person comes to their senses, baseless bluster is refuted.
“What is the meaning of this after receiving an investment from Kakao?” Did you bring candy?
I got candy, lololololol
Suddenly, the atmosphere is Suriname.
I couldn’t even imagine it, lol.
Satan just came in, lolololol
This is a line I really prepared
No.
You’re talking about sugar right now, but is it really appropriate to bring up sugar with me?
“What are you talking about?”
If I draw blood right now, I can’t tell if it’s ketchup or blood. That’s how much it matters.
“Huh?”
“Is that all?” Even the urine is running away. I am sugar, and I am a monosaccharide. “Where does a healthy guy who doesn’t know the sweetness of sugar talk about sugar in front of me?”
Diabetes uncle lololololol
Crazy, lol. This is a total scam, lol.
Right? If you’re feeling wronged, your blood sugar will go up
When you call him the diabetes uncle, he gets angry and acts like that himself, lol.
You want to win that badly? LOL
Dinner plans are a serious matter.
Baek Woo-jin opened his mouth slightly and then immediately bowed his head deeply.
“I lost.”
