Mainstream media finally picked up on reporting the cases, and dubbed the case as "Attack on the Pin-up Boys", resulting in the victims' popularity to skyrocket. Sungmin became a model and signed a three years contract with a modelling agency, and Yesung become a signed artist and released a successful solo album. Seeing this, both Heechul and Kangin try to increase their popularity by uploading attractive pictures on their blogs, so that the perpetrator will choose them as the next victim.
