I meet Nigimi, a weathered man in his 50s with a rough appearance, sitting in a dark room even during the day.
He works on a construction site, manipulating his heavy machinery with precision as the roar of engines and the sound of metal hitting rock echoes around him.
The table is littered with ashtrays and liquor bottles full of butts.
Nigimi has been chasing the thrill of gambling his entire life.
It caused him to lose his marriage and left him completely isolated in his lonely, mechanical, unemotional world.
Nigimi sits alone in a dimly lit room, scrolling alternately between his laptop and his phone.
He naturally takes an interest in social media, where he encounters an alluring profile named Tanaka, an attractive virtual woman who claims to be a famous Japanese announcer.
He found her, her Tanaka, a shining oasis in the desert of her own solitude
Her, the woman he longed for, the unchanging her, the ideal woman, he came to trust her.
We whisper that we love each other every day and provide worry and comfort at meal times.
virtual romance online chat
Nigimi and Tanaka have deep and passionate conversations online
Their connection grows stronger with each passing day
They promise each other their future and their titles change to husband and wife.
He was deeply in love with Tanaka and longed for the companionship he longed for.
We begin to provide examples of how to invest in NFT investments and earn profits of 3% of the assets by participating in two bids every day.
Nigimi was told by his beloved Tanaka that they should create a future together with pure hearts, so the slightest doubts after the war were not a problem.
Tanaka says that at first she will gain experience little by little, she says sweetly and will teach you, and she suggests that they accumulate her wealth together.
Nigimi even receives credit card cash advances, sells her stocks, makes 10 million won, and deposits it into her virtual currency wallet as instructed.
She spends her days at the Wurung Island Garden, looking at the website that she told you about, without a doubt, seeing the pages that generate revenue every day, and imagining the value of future profits.
She even calls her son to brag about it.
She says I'll let you know if everything goes well.
Every day, Nigimi believes that Tanaka's fantasy will become reality.
Meanwhile, she celebrates the holiday Chuseok.
Nigimi's daughter comes to visit him
During the conversation, Nigimi tells her daughter:
Her daughter is worried about her father's obsession with Tanaka and the fact that he easily profits from NFTs
Dad, I was worried.
Her online relationship with Tanaka seems too good to be true
You need to stop as soon as possible and admit that it is an illusion and a fraud.
But Nigimi was blinded by her love and couldn't see her truth
Nigimi excitedly tells Tanaka about her lucrative investment opportunity in her NFTs
She even says she's so grateful.
Hidden on the web, unknown, Tanaka is secretly using information from celebrity announcers to commit fraud.
Tanaka was not who he claimed to be
She was a cunning scammer who analyzed his Facebook profile to steal his virtual currency.
One evening, while Nigimi is excitedly talking about her latest investment with Tanaka, her Emma enters her room with a worried look on her face.
Dad, I did some research.
Tanaka is not who he says he is
she is a fraud
She is a con artist who impersonates a Japanese celebrity and approaches her father with the purpose of defrauding her, deceiving her father's heart and eventually extorting his wealth.
You have to admit it now
It was her daughter who opened her eyes to the harsh reality she had been ignoring.
Nigimi confronts Tanaka on her online and demands answers from her
She avoids his questions, but her evidence is overwhelming
Nigimi had to face her truth
The love he thought was real was nothing more than a cruel trick
Heartbroken and betrayed, Nigimi finally faces reality and returns to the construction site, a symbol of his lonely existence.
He realizes the importance of her daughter's advice and the need for her to rebuild her own life.
In the end, the Tanaka account disappeared and the auction site became inaccessible.
I learned that you can't find true camaraderie in fantasy
He decided to rebuild his life and fix a relationship he had neglected for too long.
