He provides Hyungsung with a written contract that does indeed deliver the promised 100 billion won sign-on bonus, but before he signs the dotted line, Hyungsung wisely takes the contract to a lawyer who points out the pitfalls. There are three glaring traps, but the most damning is that if Hyungsung reveals his stats and they're found wanting, he'd have to pay back three times the sign-on bonus.

Added DiffLines:
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Which Hyungsung calls him out on. After interrupting his rant with a credible death-threat, that manages to finally flip his brain to "on," Hyungsung touches his forehead with the statement that it's not just there for decoration and he should really be thinking very carefully if what he's going to say is worth saying aloud. Then goes on to reveal he recorded the conversation and the Ministers profanity laden insults are actionable in civil court, before proclaiming his intent to sue. Lee Hang-gu can only scream in impotent rage as Hyungsung is walking out the door.
Added DiffLines:
* LogicalFallacy: He and his staff rebuffed all the complaints and protests of the Choi family by just repeating "there's no legal problem" and "petition to renounce inheritance" over and over again, never bothering to check the actual merit of the claims against the Choi estate that they're pursuing, with the intent of making the Chois just give up and go away. When Choi Hyungsung is in his office and tells him, to his face, that the initial claims are completely senseless, he flies into a profanity and insult laden rant.

* LosingYourHead: Shortly after Hyunsung joins the Player's Association, affiliated with the Korean government, the butt-hurt former Vice leader of the Seowoo guild comes at him in a dungeon. The guy not only utterly stomps him, tortures him, and gloats, but then casually beheads him for laughs. Hyungsung responds by having his body punch a hole through the guy's chest and then picks up his own head, putting it back on, to the lout's utter confusion.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: By ordering Hyunsung into his office for his apology, that he never delivered, and making the 27-year-old wait in the lobby, just to flex, he allowed Hyungsung to use his [Psychometry] skill to grab holographic evidence of not only his corruption, but a hot den of corruption and collusion with several high-ranking player guilds and government officials. This blows the corruption scandal wide open in the press, and the players go on strike. After all, they don't want to fall in battle, trying to protect their country, just to have their families suffer unjustly under arrogant and entitled politicians who are going to summarily fine them like crazy and throw them out in the street.

----
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: He tells himself, his unseen cronies, and his yes-men that he's done nothing wrong by filing ridiculous claims for damages against Choi Hyungsung the moment he received word that the 27-year-old man fell in battle and is only trying to comply with the law. When he's told that the claims are utterly ridiculous, he flies into a tantrum like a spoiled 3-year-old.

** "Loss of rented equipment": Destroyed in the line of duty and beyond Choi's control.
** "Breach of contract": Choi ''died in complying with the terms of the contract.'' You don't file "breach of contract" charges against a corpse who died trying to keep his end.
** Penalties for "Non-compliance": Choi ''literally died following orders'', how is that "non-compliant?"
** "Illegal gifts": Not only were Choi's earnings legally his, he gave them to his family for living expenses, and the house they are living in was bought ''before joining the Player Organization.'' So billing the Choi family to try and get them back and trying to boot them out of their home can't possibly be justified.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: He thinks that just because he's a Minister and Former Congressman, he can do whatever he wants and the law will always back him up.
* StupidEvil: Which Choi Hyunsgung calls him out on. Even if being Minister is an appointed position, being a congressman should be an elected position. So he should understand optics and public relations. How in the hell did he think going after Hyungsung's assets and family upon hearing of the guy's death in battle was going to go well for any length of time?

[[caption-width-right:350:I have got to upgrade my shop rank to buy that elixir my father needs to recover from [Mana Reflux Syndrome]. In the meantime, lets go hunt some monsters.]] 27-year-old Choi Hyungsung is desperate to become a Player so his family doesn't have to struggle so hard to raise the money for his ailing father's medical treatment. His wish is answered when he comes home from his construction work day-job to get the message [You Have Awakened]. He checks his status to see that his stats are abysmal and he has no offensive, defensive, or supporting skills, but he does have the [Unique] [Buy] and [Sell] skill, and checks the interdimensional market, that allows him to grow stronger, fast, at a price. While hunting monsters, he also learns, to his horror, that he can't level up. But this turns out to be a blessing in disguise...

* CursedWithAwesome: Because his unique skill rewards him with points rather than exp for killing monsters, he can't get past level 1. However, because he can't level up, he winds up receiving unique titles and boosts that normal players can't get, such as [Fox Massacrerer] and [First to get a Heroic Title]. He can also point and laugh at the [Rule of 20] because he gets better loot drops, thanks to being a much lower level than the monsters he fights, while normal players have to hunt monsters around their own level as they're penalized when hunting monsters lower leveled than themselves and monsters above their level are too strong.
* GuideDangIt: His [Unique] skill didn't come with instructions, so he has no choice but to learn the mechanics by trial and error.
