About This Content

Chapter 2: 2000–2009 — Expansion

The new millennium. The dot-com bubble bursts, the World Cup comes to Seoul, credit cards flood the streets, Gangnam towers rise — and the 2008 financial crisis waits at the end of the decade.

You already proved your memories in the 1990s. Now it's time to build an empire.

From investor to business group

Found an investment company, buy failing businesses at the bottom, take your companies public at the right moment, and grow three or more affiliates into your own business group.

Stake war with a chaebol

Quietly buy shares in the Daejin Group's listed affiliates. Cross 5% and the chairman notices. Gather friendly shareholders and win the vote at the general meeting.

The real estate boom

A new map of 2000s Seoul and Gyeonggi: Gangnam redevelopment, new towns, apartment lotteries, loan limits and property-tax shocks. Leverage wins big — until 2008.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Character illustrations, backgrounds, cutscene videos, voice acting and music were created with generative AI tools, then selected and edited by our team. The story, dialogue and game systems were written and designed by the developer with AI assistance. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The prologue shows the protagonist and a woman falling from a bridge over the Han River (a suicide attempt, not graphic). The story also depicts financial crime such as stock manipulation and embezzlement, casual drinking and smoking in a 1990s setting, and mild profanity. The stock "pump" mini-game is chance-based but uses only in-game money; there is no real-money gambling.
