Trizik streamer Song Cheon Hwi.
Not much is known about him.
There’s an oddly small amount of information, as if he just fell from the sky one day.
He’s active as a streamer on Trizik.
He’s a handsome young man who looks to be in his early twenties.
He handles a sword very well and appears to be a well-trained high-grade awakened individual.
That’s pretty much all the information that’s known.
Facts anyone could figure out just by watching his broadcast once.
In other words, aside from that obvious stuff, nothing else has been revealed.
But humans are creatures who naturally stick their heads into the unknown.
Because of the troublesome emotion called curiosity, they scramble to figure out what they don’t know.
[AnalysisBot66: But seriously, what is Song Cheon Hwi’s deal?)
He at least looks like a B-rank, but honestly, from B-rank up, there’s usually at least a news article or something.
But this guy, weirdly enough, has nothing.
Did someone deliberately wipe it all?
[Comments]
– Yeah, I find that suspicious too.
– What if someone high up had it erased?
– Honestly, no B-rank awakened would be this unknown.
His skills are too good to brush off as just some nobody.
Thinking he’s faking it and acting doesn’t work either, because he casually shows off ridiculous techniques during his broadcast.
It just keeps confirming how real his skill is.
Who is this guy, seriously.
It was around this time that various online communities, especially on the Superpower Gallery, started paying attention to Cheon Hwi.
[UpvoteCrayon: Is there a controversy about Song Cheon Hwi now?)
Looks like Choa is on a Discord call with him right now asking for advice on swordsmanship, but what he’s saying is kind of wild.
(Comments)
– What did he say?
└When Choa asked why her swordsmanship isn’t improving, he said her body just isn’t suited for the academy-style swordsmanship she’s been taught.
└This guy’s seriously insane lololol
– If that’s what you call “no filter,” I kind of respect it lol
By the second broadcast, a famous streamer from the same platform showed up on the stream.
And she even asked for swordsmanship advice, only to get shockingly harsh comments in return.
When word of that started quietly spreading, especially in the Superpower Gallery, posts began popping up quoting Cheon Hwi’s remarks.
[OneHeartMind: “Compared to the wielder, the sword is way too dull and sluggish.”]
Now this guy’s gone from blaming people to blaming the sword itself lol.
There are tons of active hunters who praise academy-standard swordsmanship, and this newbie streamer is out here dissing it?
I think he’s just trying to put Choa down and stir up drama lol
[Comments]
– Honestly, watching it, the stuff he says does sound kinda off
– He’s trying to link Choa’s battle intuition to precognition, like, seriously? lol
– If battle intuition could evolve into precognition, it’d already be an S-rank trait and super famous lol
Academy-standard swordsmanship is one of the most well-known styles in Korea.
It was developed and refined based on the swordsmanship of Yeoh Jin, Korea’s top swordsman, by several retired hunters whose names anyone would recognize.
It’s practically a symbol of the Korean Hunter Association, and a source of national pride—yet he publicly criticized it.
Once that fact got out, it added fuel to an already tense atmosphere.
[FriesAndWakdo: He dropped the “inferior copy” comment lol]
According to Song Cheon Hwi, academy-standard swordsmanship is just an inferior version of Yeoh Jin’s original swordsmanship.
He said that the refinements made it slower and sloppier than the original, so someone like Choa—who has battle intuition—moves awkwardly because her body instinctively rejects it.
Does that even make sense? lol
[Comments]
– Sounds convincing if it were a novel
– If that flaw existed, some famous hunter would’ve exposed it already
– Even current B- and A-rank hunters use academy swordsmanship just fine
•Public opinion completely turned against Cheon Hwi.
Putting aside logic and evidence, the Academy carries the weight of history and reputation it proudly upholds.
And yet, a newbie streamer suddenly declared that the Academy’s swordsmanship was flawed.
People gradually began mocking Cheon Hwi like he was some delusional madman.
But at some point, the tide completely turned.
It was because Cheon Hwi himself showcased an improved version of the Academy-standard swordsmanship.
[Merunyi: Anyone here on Superpower Gallery decent at swordsmanship?)
For now, I’m someone retaking the Hunter license exam.
The swordsmanship Song Cheon Hwi demonstrated looks stronger than what the instructor showed at the Academy…
Are my eyes just messed up?
[Comments]
– I think my eyes are messed up too lolol
– Seriously, why does the swordsmanship Cheon Hwi uses look faster and sharper?
– Can someone bring Yeoh Jin’s sword footage too for comparison lol
A small shift in public opinion began with a single post.
Just like the collapse of a dam starts with a small crack, the wave of negative sentiment against Cheon Hwi began to reverse in the same way.
[SwordManiac: Brought clips of the Academy version, Song Cheon Hwi’s version, and Yeoh Jin’s original—all side by side]
(Scene of the Academy instructor’s demonstration from the official website)
(Scene from Song Cheon Hwi’s broadcast showing the improved swordsmanship)
(Scene of Yeoh Jin demonstrating the original sword technique at the Hunter Festival)
No kidding, it actually does look way more like the original swordsmanship Yeoh Jin uses.
Who is this guy, seriously?
[Comments]
– Academy swordsmanship is just an inferior copy (this is a fact)
He gave her advice! He improved it! He shared it for free! He just did everything for her!
– He seriously did all that for free, what the heck lolol
The once-icy public opinion flipped completely, as if nothing had ever happened.
The voices demanding an apology from Cheon Hwi faded away almost instantly.
Now, people are actually spreading Cheon Hwi’s insight and achievements all over the internet.
Various online communities are becoming increasingly obsessed with the name Song Cheon Hwi.
Whether he knows about the chaos or not, a new training result video is uploaded to Choa’s channel—the one who got advice from Cheon Hwi.
[CoCoNapNap: Is it normal for sword skills to improve this much in a single day?)
I was watching Choa’s NewTube, and why does her swordsmanship look totally different today compared to yesterday?
Yesterday, she looked super clumsy and awkward like a total beginner, but today, she’s flying around like a seasoned master.
I seriously don’t get it;
[Comments]
– This too must be a blessing from the great Cheon Hwi
– And the scary part is, it’s not even a joke lol
– Looks like she practiced exactly the way Song Cheon Hwi taught her in today’s video
– Her skills literally changed in just one day……
A rookie streamer who backed up an unbelievable claim with pure skill.
A hunter hopeful whose abilities leveled up dramatically after following that streamer’s advice.
Their story quietly spread from the Superpower Gallery to all sorts of online communities, and even into daily conversation.
And finally, the protagonist who sparked this volcanic interest appeared again on Trizik.
[Now Streaming / Song Cheon Hwi: First Disciple Training Project]
It was truly impeccable timing.
Right now, internet communities across Korea are ablaze with talk about Cheon Hwi.
Which, of course, means interest in Cheon Hwi himself is sky-high.
So, may I politely ask… what’s up with the stream title this time?
“I even wrote it in Chinese characters used in Korea this time—what more could they possibly want?”
Cheon Hwi grumbled after achieving the incredible feat of breaking 1,000 viewers in just his third broadcast.
“It has that classic martial arts master vibe, way cooler than just writing it all in Korean—”
He sighed mid-sentence.
He was disappointed that modern viewers, soaked in Western lettering, couldn’t appreciate the elegant, traditional aesthetic.
Of course, this was just Cheon Hwi’s personal opinion.
In today’s age, people are far more used to Hangul and English than Chinese characters, so dual character usage is seen as a relic from a bygone era that disappeared over a century ago.
The only people who still get excited over Chinese character titles… are probably ancient folks who are over three hundred years old.
What will today’s stream be about?
“A good question.”
Anyway, Cheon Hwi began his broadcast.
While also taking the chance to personally explain the stream’s title, he casually dropped an important announcement.
“If you interpreted the title, you’ll know that a new content segment will be starting on this stream.”
– If I interpreted it, I’d know (but I didn’t, so I don’t)
– Wow! New content!
– What is it?
The upload date of Choa’s training video was this morning.
But that time marked the end of editing and review—not when the filming itself ended.
With a faint smile, Cheon Hwi recalled the night before.
He remembered thinking about what to order for a late-night snack using the money he earned from the stream.
“I’ve decided to train a disciple. You could call it something like Disciple Training Journal.”
– Whoa
– Is this for real?
– Even the name sounds super fun
A sudden Discord call.
He still remembered that cheerful, chattering voice full of thanks and excitement as she gushed about her training progress.
“Unfortunately, I’ve already chosen a disciple. I even talked things through with her last night.”
That’s a shame
– We want to learn martial arts from the Master too
– If we applied, we’d probably get rejected and told to get in shape first
Some viewers complained about the fact that they couldn’t apply themselves, but the conversation quickly moved on.
Who could it be that Cheon Hwi accepted as his disciple?
That question didn’t remain a mystery for long.
“Hello, everyone!”
– ?
– That voice sounds familiar
– Wait, no way… is it the Master? No, right?
With a bright and lively voice, she immediately lifted the serious tone of the broadcast.
She was one of Trizik’s most cheerful mood-makers.
“Starting today, I’ll be training as Cheon Hwi-nim’s disciple! I’m Trizik streamer Choa!”
Cheon Hwi’s first disciple—Trizik streamer Choa—had made her entrance.
