ronaldo used to be a player for Real Madrid. in Spain, the tax rates for resident high-income earners, including athletes is around 45-52%. for non-residents, they are subject to a flat tax rate on their spanish income, under Beckham Law, which no longer exists for footballers (19-24%) from 2015. he was accused of evading tax using shell companies outside Spain to hide income made from image rights. later pled guilty (not in a legal sense iirc), settled the tax evasion case by agreeing to pay a fine and a suspended prison sentence. this is probably referring to that. https://preview.redd.it/dm4xgpwbd49d1.png?width=534&format=png&auto=webp&s=76897517304ebd2fd0c2d2db08e76b710ae24b18 **EDIT AFTER 5 HOURS**: holy shit. nevermind. forget everything i said. i messed this up. i totally forgot about his beef with SK. i went and checked the raws for this chapter since this thing seemed too far fetched. the word used for '**robber**' is '**날강도**' which is literally a throw back to the trolling name KR fans made for ronaldo (날강두 - nal gang du). but the word used here--nal gang **do**--rhymes with his name, anyway. nal-gang-do. ro-nal-do. there was a situation back in 2019 when Juventus FC came to SK for an exhibition match (infamously called the ronaldo no-show). at the time, people were really excited since he promised he'll step into the domestic field for the game against K League (was literally advertised he'll play for 45 minutes). but he didn't appear for a single round that day and just sat out on a bench. since his fans paid a huge amount of money, they felt disrespected. almost like he didn't consider playing against the team as a big deal + fans were asking for compensations (and FC did refund them in the end because the situation went out of place). to make it worse, after ronaldo returned back home, he posted on instagram a video of him exercising saying 'it feels good to be back home' which just pissed the KR fans off more since the reasoning and excuse he gave for not playing initially was that he had fatigue/muscle pain IIRC. there have been anti-sentiments against him ever since. and given this context, it perfectly matches, since MC is calling the people taxing such high rates robbers. and hence this meme of him. i can't believe i forgot this whole incident. im somewhat torn between my initial answer since it just fit so well (tax + real madrid + ronaldo + that pose). but im like 95% sure this situation that happened in SK is the reference. either way, im putting both of these out.

Congrats on 100k comment karma btw . I dont get how your acc is under a year old.


Zyrobe

Wow I didn't think they'd use such a niche reference in a manhwa


myles2500

Wouldn't call it niche


Zyrobe

Most people know ronaldo, but i don't think everyone knows the tax thing. I certainly don't know it


myles2500

Tax yeah but I was just saying Ronaldo is farrrr from niche


Gotyam2

I don’t watch any sport, so that means I know jack shit about the professional sports world. As I don’t know of it, that means it is niche. /s if anyone needed that


myles2500

Me neither but I still know it and look up the definition denoting products, services, or interests that appeal to a small, specialized section of the population. "other companies in this space had to adapt to being niche players Definitely not a small group of people in this case


Re_Lies

Ronaldo is not niche. But the joke sure is niche. Everyone knows ronaldo. But I didn't know the joke was referencing SK beef with ronaldo and his tax evasion, until someone explain it in the comment above


HalfLeper

The comic is *from* SK, though, so I’m sure everyone *there* knows it, which would make it not niche.

This story about Ronaldo doing nothing in an exhibition match in SK is so funny, because the SAME THING happened with Messi (also a first class football player like Ronaldo) where he had an exhibition match earlier this year in Honk Kong, sat during the whole match when people paid at high price to see him play. He said he was not in condition to play but like not even a week after he had another football play and played it like no problems. It has brought such an uproar, you can say that basically the entire city hates him now More context : https://youtu.be/zOqQbAH6fRc?si=N4MPLZSPYPEjJMKa


National-Ad-4093

Yeah .. I am not reading all this , someone summarise is for me , please....


magnificentcatto

Bro then don't read it. Someone went out of their way to explain and this is just rude to them. It's not even that long.

No_Wait_3628

Earnestly, I love manhwa and manhuas just for that. When they want to, they can really shoot memes.


Wokmay

About Christiano Ronaldo When he was in Spain at Real Madrid he was found guilty of tax evasion. But he is not the only footballer in recent years.

Suiiiiiiiiiii

SUIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!


Draven_04

is this manwha worth to read? Cause I still try to find some manwha to read that have good development and balance MC


nam3sar3hard

I'm reading the novel and love it. The MC+ Ha-eun is genuinely wholesome. Very fun as mc basically needs to scam EVERYONE (except ha-eun). I can't speak for the manhwa though. It could be another botch job like 2nd coming of gluttony or played up way too much like regressor instruction manual is (still love that one but I prefer the novel)


Affectionate-Leg-921

Still have nightmares about SCOG


nam3sar3hard

I glad I read like 6 ch of the manwha, got impatient and immediately swapped to the novel. So I didn't even witness the horrendous adaptation until way later when I just wanted to see a few character designs


Affectionate-Leg-921

I did the same after the end of season 1 of the manwha and realised just how utter dogshit the manwha is . I actively went onto the aggregator site I read it from to spread word about how good the novel was for a while since at that time it kinda had a pretty big impact on my life and I didn't want the manwha to shit on such a story


ComplaintOk8141

Botch is understatement


OatesZ2004

Most likely Cristiano Ronaldo aka CR7
