“Mooncheol ㄱㄱ?” »
The popular game “League of Legends” (LOL), which was adopted as an official event at the Hangzhou Asian Games, involves five people forming a team. For this reason, when a game doesn’t go as planned, a fierce battle of “you’re to blame” breaks out between team members. Usually we argue about “I did a good job” or “You did a bad job.” This is similar to how car owners who have been in a collision on the road argue about the percentage of fault.
Recently, the so-called “Mooncheol”, named after lawyer Mooncheol Han, has become popular among LoL users, sparking controversy. “Mooncheol” is a new culture of in-game betting that asks experts (talented people) to determine what is the biggest fault in a losing game and what is called “defeat contribution”.

The deal was made by talking and saying things like this. Those who agree on “Mooncheol” go to the live broadcast of a highly qualified streamer (BJ) and make a request. “BJ, please do Muncheol.” “I fought with my teammate during the match. Please judge who did worse.”
BJ plays lawyer Han Moon-cheol, who receives traffic accident video reports from viewers and determines the percentage of fault. That’s why it’s called “Mooncheol”. Even when working on other broadcast content, BJs are happy to receive a request for “Mooncheol” with a big smile. Indeed, the brutal battle of blame between users completely immersed in the game is provocative content guaranteed to be successful.
So far, it seems to be a form of gaming culture for users who love games. But why is there controversy? Indeed, users play “Mooncheol” and bet with real money. The “stake” varies greatly, from 50,000 won each to several million won.

First, BJ receives the same amount of money from two users into his account before watching the match to determine negligence. Then, BJ watches the match and decides which of the two was less at fault. Finally, BJ deducts a certain part of the total amount as “commission” and gives the remaining money to the user.
One Roll BJ told Hankyung.com, “Just like lawyers receive fees, BJs also receive compensation for investing their airtime and demonstrating their expertise,” and added, “The commission rate for each BJ is different.

I’ve looked at over 200,000 cases so far, and not all of them are free and “It’s a scam, right?” Are the police investigating?
