"Everyone! We've officially passed 5,000 viewers today! Thank you so much! Now then, Minsu! Reach for Jieun's hand and—"

Before I could even finish my sentence—

BANG!

The tightly shut shrine doors flew open so violently they looked ready to break off their hinges.

"Hey! You scam artist shaman! Turn that camera off right now!"

Cutting through the thick mist emerged a tall man with model-like proportions, his black coat billowing dramatically behind him.

In one hand, he held a string of prayer beads.

In the other, a state-of-the-art spirit detector.

[Anonymous1]: HOLY CRAP he's hot.

[Anonymous2]: Wait, is he an exorcist? He's wearing prayer beads.

[Anonymous3]: LOL Miss Shaman's expression is priceless. This is so real.

"What exactly do you think you're doing with these dead souls? Do you know nothing of the laws of the afterlife? I'll purify these spirits myself if I have to."

The man raised his prayer beads toward Minsu and Mija, his cold gaze sending chills through the shrine.

He carried the dangerous charm of a fallen priest.

The atmosphere shifted instantly.

And then—

Jieun, who had been clutching Minsu by the collar, suddenly let go.

She ran straight toward the man and spoke shyly.

"Oh my... Mr. Exorcist. Would you mind exorcising me first? I'm actually a very bad ghost."

There were practically hearts in her eyes.

Minsu stared in disbelief.

"Hey! Lee Jieun! Weren't you the one saying you liked me?! Then why are you wagging your tail at that human lamppost?!"

I made sure to capture the arrival of this incredible male catfish in glorious 4K.

"Everyone! We have an unprecedented situation! The broadcast is in danger of shutting down—but I refuse to stop! [Exorcist Crashes Dating Show as Male Catfish!] Hey, Mr. Exorcist! Why don't you say hello to our viewers first?"

"Hello? Are you serious?! Move that camera out of my face!"

The man marched toward me, reaching for my gimbal.

A cool, refreshing scent brushed past my nose.

But I refused to back down.

"Come on now. Do exorcists dig up money from the ground? Have you even finished paying off that spirit detector? It looks brand new. My appearance fees would more than cover it. So what do you say? Interested in joining a dating show?"

The man's eyes wavered.

I pressed on.

[Donation: ₩100,000]: Miss Shaman! Use this to recruit the exorcist ASAP!

[Donation: ₩200,000]: Donating to help recruit the hot exorcist guy!

Right on cue, the donations poured in.

I raised my voice.

"See? This much money comes in just sitting around! So what's it gonna be? Get reported for interfering with business and end up broke—or sign a contract and get paid by me?"

Just then, Jieun wrapped herself around the man's arm.

"Mr. Exorcist, would you like to visit the Truth Room with me? Could you take a look at the demon inside me?"

The shrine descended into absolute chaos.

The man alternated his gaze between Mija—who sat in the corner calmly plucking her gayageum while observing him—and Minsu, who was angrily shadowboxing nearby.

Finally, he let out a deep sigh and removed his hand from my gimbal.

"Fine. I'll only stay until this month's payment for my spirit detector is covered. But if your show crosses the line, I'll purify every last one of you."

The moment those words left his mouth, the chat exploded.

[Anonymous4]: LOL Miss Shaman just recruited an exorcist into the show 😂😂😂

[Donation: ₩50,000]: Forget it—just make the shaman and exorcist co-hosts already.

[Anonymous5]: Came here because people said there was a hot guy.

I asked for his name.

Wearing the expression of a man who had bitten into something foul, he turned toward the camera and introduced himself.

"I'm Cha Hyunwoo, an exorcist."

He paused briefly.

"For the safety of this program... I'll be joining."
