Korean Entertainment: My Reborn Self Shorts the Korean Peninsula

Before his rebirth, Cao Yisen suffered a crushing defeat on Wall Street. Investment mistakes, fund collapses, and a broken relationship—his idol girlfriend also abandoned him. In the year that both capital and humanity crumbled, he chose to end it all. When he opened his eyes again, he returned to an era before the storm had even begun. In this life, he no longer chases consensus, but only stands on the opposite side when everyone is at their most fervent. After his rebirth, the first thing Cao Yisen did was not to fall in love or start a business—but to be unexpectedly sent to a top South Korean entertainment company, directly entering the star-making system from the capital side, becoming the core of operations who controls resources and destiny. On one side, there's shorting the market and reaping the bubble; on the other, there's manipulating the Korean entertainment industry and creating idols. When he discovers that the entertainment industry is inherently another high-leverage game, and that popularity, public opinion, and faith are more easily pushed to their limits than stocks, he decides that in this life, he will not only short the market but also stand within the system to personally verify: how much is the myth of the Korean Peninsula truly worth?
