Fans of interior designer Eunchae were wondering why she returned to the U.S. again when she already announced before that she would be staying for good. Her recent posts on her social media pages were very cryptic and depressing. She hinted that she was driven away from her mother country against her will, so she had no choice but to return to the U.S. heartbroken.

Her fans continued to ask her for clarification. They were worried about her, especially after hearing that all of her Asian clients cancelled hiring her. Finally, a U.S.-based friend of hers revealed the "truth" in a blog post.

"My dear friend, Eunchae, was humiliated by the public proposal of her ex-boyfriend to his mistress who he has an illegitimate son with. He proposed right in front of Chae. The audacity! My blood is boiling just hearing about it. I can just imagine the mortifying scene. No wonder Chae is so heartbroken. She's crying every day and she can't sleep at night because she was traumatized by the experience. If I was present at that party, I would've punched that ex-boyfriend right on his cheating face and then pulled all the hair out of that shameless mistress!

"What's more, Chae's family was betrayed by that ex-boyfriend's family. The two families were long-time friends and collaborated in several business projects. But because of greed, the ex-boyfriend's family terminated all of their existing contracts and discarded Chae's family, forcing the Wus to suffer millions in financial losses. Then the ex-boyfriend's family partnered with a huge corporation instead. If that's not greedy, I don't know what is. I'm utterly disgusted by how that ex-boyfriend and his family treated my friend Chae and her family!

"They not only broke Chae's heart but shattered her dreams as well! As loyal fans of her work as an interior designer, you all know that she gambled on leaving her successful career here just to start all over again. I don't know what kind of hocus-pocus that ex-boyfriend's family did, but she has been blacklisted from working in Asia! How sickening is that?!

"I beg all of you to please help comfort our dear Chae. She's depressed right now, and I'm very worried as her close friend. To tell you the truth, I want to fly over there and beat all of those who hurt her. That ex-boyfriend, his mistress and his entire family of greedy pigs! Thank you and please continue supporting our favourite interior designer, Eunchae Wu."

This blog post was quickly spread like wildfire on the internet. It also eventually made its way to the Local internet where many netizens made the connection to Donghwi and the Kim family.

It didn't take long before the Kims were made aware of the incriminating blog post. Hwi and Yeon were mercilessly attacked by random netizens, calling them a cheating couple and other nasty insults. As the woman, Yeon had to suffer worse than Hwi. People called her a loose woman, a gold digger and a social climber.

Donghwi and the Kim family (ordered by Jihoon) both issued separate official statements, explaining their side of the story. Some believed them, but the majority of the people, including the women, sided with Eunchae.

To them, Eunchae was the real victim. They were also indignant about what happened to her family. The Wus were now basically bankrupt. Compared to them, the Kims were riding high as they worked on finalizing their several partnership deals with Manoban Corporation.

The horrible name-calling and outrage continued to attack Hwi, Yeon and the entire Kim family. The elders and the other relatives were absolutely horrified. This was by far the worst hit they experienced on their reputation as an entire clan.

Jihoon also felt troubled. He heard from his informants that the elders gathered for a secret meeting. He could sense that they were planning something drastic, possibly a call to remove his eldest son, Donghwi, as the heir.

But before this crisis reached a point of no return, another blog post made waves. This time, it was by a recently popular webtoon author called Princess Porkchop. She was the creator of the hit webtoon series "Queen of the Shadows".

Princess Porkchop claimed that she was present at the party and witnessed all of the important events that happened that time. She wrote on her blog:

"I am close to both Donghwi and Hoyeon. They have a wonderful baby son together. I would like to address the claim that Eunchae's friend made. Yeon is NOT mistress. Hwi and Chae already broke up when Hwi and Yeon got together. They have NEVER been a cheating couple. I have no idea where that claim came from. I think someone is being delusional to believe that they are still together when they already broke up.

"I also don't understand how Eunchae continues to paint herself as a victim in this matter. Even during the party, she acted like she and Hwi were still together which they are NOT! The way I see it—and I think you will too after I explain my view—Eunchae is a homewrecker intent on destroying a beautiful family.

"Hwi and Yeon are NOT married or in a relationship with other people. They are free to love each other and raise their son together. But here comes the ex-girlfriend who wants Hwi back. She accuses Yeon of being a mistress. She uses her status as a rising star in the world of interior design and as the daughter of the Wu family to discredit a normal woman with no impressive family background. What's more, she acts like a white lotus to gain the sympathy of her followers in order to indirectly push them to attack the poor innocent woman who is the rightful fiancée of Hwi.

"Tell me. Who is the real immoral one between these two women? I know for a fact that it isn't Yeon. I'll leave the rest for you to decide who you want to believe. I'm just describing to you what I witnessed with my own two eyes, unlike that 'friend' who wasn't even in the country when the party happened. I bet she just heard everything from Eunchae.

"That's all I have to say in this matter. I hope that you judge the situation fairly. Thank you for reading. Please continue supporting my webtoon 'Queen of the Shadows'! The second arc is reaching its climax. Stay tuned!"

Princess Porkchop's blog post immediately went viral. She only rose to popularity as a webtoon artist recently, but she already had many fans. Some of them were die-hard ones who followed everything she said as if her words were divine commandments.

The trajectory of attacks suddenly shifted from Yeon to Eunchae.

"Don't ever come back here, you shameless homewrecker!"

"I hate white lotus bitches like you!"

"I regret believing you. You're a liar! I apologize to Miss Yeon for insulting her earlier. I didn't know the truth then. I wish Miss Yeon and Mister Kim a happy marriage life and happy family with their son. Shame on you Eunchae for trying to wreck a family!"

Eunchae and her friend who defended her were horrified to find themselves attacked online by thousands of haters. They were forced to deactivate their social media accounts because it became too much. This incident only made the Wu family hasten their preparations to emigrate.

A couple of days later, the national news reported that Hoyeon hired an American lawyer to sue Eunchae and her friend for defamation. What shocked people the most was that the lawyer was a famous celebrity attorney who had an impressive track record of wins.

By this time, Eunchae, Hoyeon and Donghwi were featured in the news constantly. A big part of this was their connection to multi-award winning musician Jennie Kim.

When the media asked for her opinion about the love triangle, Jennie replied:

"There is no love triangle. I agree with everything Princess Porkchop wrote on her blog post. Someone is delusional to think that she's still in a relationship with my brother. Hoyeon is a lovely and hardworking woman who is also a great mother to my godson. She's also my friend. I support her all the way."
