NOVPUB『The Most Polite Monster in the World』
『A Beast Wearing a Human Mask』
『He is the Kindest Death』
After Kim Donghu pulled off an absolutely unbelievable scene, the global media—including foreign press—went into complete chaos.
ㄴHow do you even crush a microphone like that?
ㄴThe funniest part is that breaking the table was so obvious no one even cared about it lol
ㄴWow... I didn’t know Kim Donghu had this side to him.
The public was completely caught off guard.
It was a well-known stereotype that East Asians weren’t great at trash talk. But Kim Donghu shattered that prejudice with a press conference so refreshing that it was exhilarating.
And not just exhilarating—
ㄴThe guy looks like the nicest person alive, but the moment someone mentions his family, he just stands up.
ㄴIt took exactly one second. Like, he heard it and immediately got up.
ㄴSo this is what being a real man means... Just instantly moving to protect your own.
ㄴIs it even physically possible to crush a microphone with grip strength alone? Even if it’s the top part?
It was the kind of scene that would go down in history.
Journalists uploaded their edited footage to YouTube, each trying to capture the moment from their best angle. And the public? They swarmed the videos, watching the same clip from every possible perspective.
To put it simply—
"Don’t cross the line, Ed."
"Don’t test my kindness. I’m not as forgiving as you think."
Slap some subtitles on that, add some dramatic music, and boom—viral gold.
ㄴDid you think you could say anything just because he was smiling? XD
ㄴEdward crossed the line.
ㄴMy favorite part is when he calls him “Ed.” It makes him sound like a little kid.
The public’s interest had reached a completely different level.
At this point, even people who didn’t care about boxing knew who Kim Donghu was. His fan club was practically on the verge of exploding.
[How many legendary lines does he have, wtf lol]
ㄴNo, the real one is "Be grateful this isn’t the ring."
ㄴDid you see his eyes at that moment? If there had been no cameras, Edward would’ve been dead.
ㄴKim Donghu really goes all out to protect his people. The moment they mentioned his family, he just stood up instantly.
[Why Kim Donghu is literally Tarzan]
ㄴHe heard the words, immediately stood up, and boom. LOL.
ㄴEdward’s eyes got huge in real-time.
ㄴIt’s like a pro wrestling moment. Wait, you weren’t supposed to actually hit me yet?
ㄴ??? : Life isn’t scripted, kid.
[Kim Donghu’s loyalty to his people is already well known]
ㄴHe literally scrunches his face, and everyone around him instantly looks like goblins.
ㄴPost-Big Bang Face GOAT Kim Donghu has done it again.
ㄴKim Donghu! It’s you again?!
ㄴ??? :: I told you to leave Kim Donghu alone!
[Real-time certified idiot (proof)]
(Ticket purchase confirmation photo)
ㄴNope. Now I have to book a flight and hotel, too.
ㄴThe overall prices right now are insane.
ㄴSavings? Gone. RIP. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
The website couldn’t handle the surge of activity and completely crashed.
The number of users had increased by nearly thirty times the usual traffic. But no one really cared.

『Did You Just Bring Up His Family? Kim Donghu Is Officially Pissed』
People couldn’t check personal posts for the moment, but the media more than made up for it by flooding the internet with articles about Kim Donghu.
Even—
"Something truly explosive happened yesterday. Kim Donghu did something incredible during his press conference."
"That’s right. I was shocked watching it, honestly. It was kind of terrifying."
Even the news was covering the incident.
And in every single report, one particular word kept popping up.
That word?
ㄴKim Donghu is literally Tarzan.
ㄴBreaking news: Tarzan hits theaters next week. LOL.
ㄴSo I should watch Tarzan, then immediately tune in for the boxing match, right?
ㄴAnyone who doesn’t order the PPV is a certified clown.
ㄴThis is a must-watch. If you miss it, you’ll be socially exiled.
ㄴThis is like skipping Gag Concert’s Morning Glory skit back in the day.
The word Tarzan.
With the movie’s release next week, people chanting “Tarzan, Tarzan” non-stop was bound to send the pre-sale numbers through the roof.
And as expected—

In the end, Tarzan completely took over Korean theaters.
***
In Hollywood, even the slightest appearance of a Korean actor was enough to make headlines.
But now, a Korean actor was not just making an appearance—he was starring as the lead and dominating Korean theaters.
There was no way people weren’t going to watch this.
"It's just patriotism, you know? We have to support it, show them the power of the Korean ticket sales."
"Shut up. You just wanna see Kim Donghu."
"...Okay, but be honest. He looks ridiculously cool."
Since Tarzan was rated for general audiences, it had no age restrictions and could absorb every demographic.
People filled their seats in the theater, buzzing with anticipation.
BANG!
"!"
"H-Holy shit... I almost screamed."
The movie wasted no time.
Right from the start, a ship ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) was sinking—dramatically, violently.
"So they’re covering Tarzan’s childhood."
It was a scene already famous from the animated version.
The audience, watching the live-action adaptation, admired how well it had been recreated.
But that was about it.
They weren’t hooked yet.
"Alright, but when does Kim Donghu show up?"
"We didn’t come here to watch a kid."
Everyone was eager for Kim Donghu’s entrance.
And five minutes later—
"A-AAAHHHH!"
This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.
A raw, guttural scream tore through the screen.
And finally, the moment they had been waiting for—Kim Donghu’s face filled the screen.
WHIP!
WHIP!
WHIP!
Tarzan swung through the jungle, gripping vines, soaring through the dense forest canopy.
And right behind him, hyper-realistic gorillas emerged.
"Damn, Disney’s CGI is legendary."
"This looks so real... Wait, is Kim Donghu’s action real too? Why does it look so authentic?"
"No way... He didn’t do these stunts himself, right? Right?"
Doubts began creeping into the audience’s minds.
Especially—
When Tarzan took what was known as the Leap of Faith, diving off a towering cliff.
People desperately hoped that scene was CGI.
Or at least a stunt double.
But those thoughts only lasted a moment before the screen threw them into pure shock.
Because suddenly—
The duel between Tarzan and the black panther, Sabo, began.
The massive beast moved with predatory grace, and yet, the fight looked disturbingly real.
Even knowing it was acting, the tension made the audience grip their armrests.
"Holy shit, that look in his eyes."
"He’s not just protecting the gorillas... No, he’s protecting his family. That’s the look of a man ready to kill."
"Wait, hold up—I saw that look before. At the press conference."
People were used to being amazed by Kim Donghu’s acting.
But after this scene?
They were left utterly shaken.
And then—
SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH!
"Gasp!"
"What the fuck—?"
Kim Donghu—no, Tarzan—was dragging a plane.
A literal light aircraft.
The audience sat in stunned silence.
And to make things even crazier—
"Why does this look real?"
"It’s definitely CGI... right? So why does it feel so authentic?"
Kim Donghu’s sheer physicality on screen made people doubt their own logic.
For a split second—just a tiny, terrifying second—people wondered:
"...If this guy can break a table so easily, maybe he actually did pull a plane?"
But before they could process that thought, the scene escalated—
Tarzan climbed onto the moving plane.
"...Hold on. I’m watching a guy pull a plane and cling onto it in the same damn movie??"
"Wait, wait, wait. Did he actually do this?! He had to have used a stunt double, right? Please tell me he did."
"Just because America has good health insurance doesn’t mean you can do this, Donghu. PLEASE."
While the audience sat there with their jaws hanging open—
Tarzan scooped up Jane, scaled a cliff, and the two finally confirmed their feelings for each other.
Then, they shared a deep, intense kiss.
And at that moment, a single thought passed through everyone’s mind—
"Wait... Is this really a general audience rating?"
It wasn’t that the scene was explicit.
Kids would just see two characters kissing, no big deal.
But adults?
Adults felt something else entirely.
There was something in the way they looked at each other—an unspoken tension, a pull between them.
It was now painfully clear why Evelyn had kept calling him "My Tarzan" in interviews.
"If a man like that kissed me, I’d want to call him something special too."
"There’s only one Tarzan in her life. Kim Donghu. That’s basically a love confession."
And at the same time—
The audience came to one absolute, undeniable conclusion.
"Edward... should not watch this movie."
A genuine, heartfelt concern.

By mid-February, Tarzan was sweeping up money at an unbelievable speed.
Following the expected schedule, the second press conference was held near Wembley Stadium.
And on this day—
"I’m tired today, so I don’t want to take too many questions."
For the first time in history, Edward Maxwell stood up in the middle of a press conference.
This happened exactly four weeks before the fight.
