The authors apology was ass. ( ⩌⤚⩌)
I agree! The Hyun Daniel rn is making the aggressor(student leader kid) remember when they were a victim. I think Hyun Daniel was gonna do that the same with the bully in chapter 125... The creators just rlly messed up with the whole n word thing but I think the reverse racism thing is still a controversial thing to write about even if it was possibly based off a true story.
Oh!! Now that you mention it, the current story does have some similarities with that arc!!
The racist chapter is discontinued, all the characters act as if the chapter never existed (have no memories of them being involved in that bullying case). The authors already apologized, though it never erase the fact that they're wrong. All the bullying case they had is based on real story (with some exaggeration) after months of research, so it mostly potrayed how bullying works in SK –as in real bullying, not the one you see in kdramas, so it's refreshing and destroyed SK's image as a peaceful country in foreigners eyes. I thought that chapter wants to potrayed how Korean can be racist too, because the black character once a victim of bullying and racism in SK, but he became a bully not long after that. I don't see it as weird because in my country, that things did happen a lot (not with black people, but minority race got bullied and then they bully another minority race because the anger they felt after being treated like trash). Though I guess, bringing that into one of the manhwa's chapter was a bad decision as topic related to race —no matter which race it is will always be a sensitive topic. Regardless, the overal idea of this manhwa is good (again, to reminds how severe bullying in SK is), so I'll still read it.
