A university professor turned thief, smiling after stealing exam questions for his student. Pure psychological horror and unhinged main character energy. He knows it’s crazy, but the toxic thrill is too addictive. ♟️ #NotesfromtheLastRow #ChoiMinSik… pic.twitter.com/HAN22prWEn— du (@daumm92) June 26, 2026
