My Cheating Ex's New Boyfriend and I Are Bonding Over Her Betrayal... And He Asked Me Out!
This post is going viral in Korea due to its incredibly convoluted and unexpected plot twist, where two men betrayed by the same woman consider starting a relationship themselves. The sheer absurdity and moral ambiguity of the situation have captivated netizens.
The concept of 'transfer breakup' (ํ์น์ด๋ณ) is a commonly understood term in Korea for when someone moves directly from one relationship to another without a clean break. The term 'Netorare' (๋คํ ๋ผ๋ ), while Japanese, is also recognized in Korean internet culture, often used to describe cuckolding or a specific fetish involving it.
This wild story is blowing up online in Korea, detailing a relationship drama that takes more twists and turns than a K-drama. It all started when the original poster (OP) discovered his girlfriend had been secretly seeing someone else since January, leading to a classic "transfer breakup" where she moved directly from him to the new guy without a clean break. The plot thickens when OP and the new boyfriend (let's call him 'CB') realize they both fell victim to the same woman's cheating ways.
What began as a shared commiseration over their mutual ex quickly evolved. OP and CB found they were the "same type of person," bonding deeply over their shared heartbreak and similar personalities. Despite CB still having feelings for the cheating ex and wanting to continue dating her, he surprisingly asked OP out for a meal. OP, perhaps half-jokingly, asked CB, "Should we cheat on her together?" โ and CB is now seriously considering it! The OP even self-deprecatingly calls it a "poop gay story" and wonders if this bizarre situation qualifies as "Netorare." It's a chaotic, morally ambiguous, and utterly captivating saga that has the internet buzzing.

8You were hurt by a woman who cheated and didn't respect you, but isn't this just the same situation with genders reversed? I get that you're hurt and want revenge, but dating that guy will probably enโฆ
Guys, even if the story is this messed up, it's still really painful and agonizing. Can you give me some comfort...?
But you also started dating her by cheating, lol.
Defeated hero x defeated hero.
My brain is completely fried right now...
Bro, you gay?
Good luck with your love life, I guess.
I'm so dizzy, I can't even understand what's happening....
