1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: How did Taylor Swift shut down the subway system in

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: South Korea and cost the city millions of dollars?

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: Excuse me?

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Well, it's more like the news of Taylor Swift's engagement did,

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: but it caused a social media influencer to do something

6
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: so ridiculous that arrests were made, an entire subway system

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: was shut down, and the city lost millions of dollars.

8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: Sounds about right?

9
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: What happened? And could this be happening soon in your city?

10
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: We'll tell you next. Taylor Swift owes the South Korean

00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: Dollars the tubule show.

13
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not sure if Taylor will pay it, but

14
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: she sort of does because one social media influencer did

15
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: something so ridiculous that arrests were made, the entire subway

16
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: system was shut down, and the city lost millions of dollars. Also,

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: they say this could be happening in America soon, So

18
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: it could it be happening in your city?

19
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: We how many times get engaged? That just happened? Once?

20
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:49,960

79
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,440

80
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 4: like you are looking for your soulmate? Like, why wouldn't you, I, however,

81
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: would stop at turning around in circles chanting my ex's name.

82
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: No, you would go though?

83
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: Why not?

84
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: How bad people want to find their soulmate?

85
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: I mean it would just force you get out of

86
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: the house, because really, how you find your soulmate is

87
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: leaving your home.

88
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: But you're gonna believe a TikTok person who says the

89
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: portal will be open?

90
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,360

00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: Okay? Cool game? Where in the soul Korea Subway station.

95
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: No, do people fly to Soul or were those people

96
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: already living there?

97
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: Didn't say, but it said commuters trying to catch trains

98
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: were forced to dodge onion carrying singles because Crystal had

99
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: also suggested that bringing an onion in your pocket cleanses energy.

100
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 2: Strolling them so hard.

101
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 4: Does her ex work at the subway city station in Soul,

102
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: Korea and she's like, oh, watch this.

103
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: One man claims that he got body checked by a

104
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: woman blowing a kazoo in his face and yelling you're

105
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: the one.

106
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 2: We're talking about.

107
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: TikTok influencer who said you knows how to find your

108
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: soulmate and convince people in South Korea to go to

109
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: the South Korean subway system at eleven eleven pm on

110
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: every other Thursday, the Soulmate portal opens and do all

111
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: this crazy stuff.

112
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: This is kind of scary.

113
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: Service ground to a halt, they say, after the chanting

114
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: crowd spilled onto the tracks and multiple stations, believing the

115
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: Soulmate portal might emerge from the tunnels. Oh okay, they

116
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: reported our long delays across several lines, and the transit

117
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: police had to evacuate stations and a fire started from

118
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: dozens of candles that were lit on the floor. Of course,

119
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: one person said, I was just trying to get home

120
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: and suddenly five hundred people in red sox were circling me,

121
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: chanting somebody's name. I thought I was in a horror movie.

122
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: That would be scary. Could you imagine you're on the

123
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: subway and you get out and there's just thousands of

124
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: people in red socks carrying onions instruments.

125
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, it is not that bad. We cannot be

126
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: trusting TikTok influencers like this.

127
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: They confirm more than thirty year wrestles made, and officials

128
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: estimated delays and damages would cost the city over three

129
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: million dollars.

130
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: Holy wow, that's crazy.

131
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Somebody, one of the security guards said, We've dealt with rats, floods,

132
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: even flash mobs, but never thousands of people playing horrible

133
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: instruments and chanting for soulmates with onion.

134
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: There's so many takeaways from the story.

135
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 4: There's so many How people are starved for love, how

136
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: people are so easily influenced, what drives them, Like all

137
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 4: of these things. You just want something, to believe it

138
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: and it can turn into this. No, I mean you

139
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: could go on and have a whole cat theory of

140
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: your own Victoria, and everybody would follow you with their cats,

141
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 4: and you guys could praise I don't know the sun

142
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 4: and make money.

143
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. If you want to start a colt man,

144
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: you could do it easily, so easy, very easy.

145
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,800

00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: crime movies and stuff, you're like, how did that happen?

00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: Well, you hear this story. It's that easy. Yeah.

149
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: Crystal, the woman who started this whole thing, was briefly

150
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: detained for inciting a riot and released hours later. She

151
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: did post a live stream outside of the station saying

152
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: that this is how you find your soulmate, and the

153
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: universe is now listening and there will be a new

154
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: portal open in New York City soon.

155
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: Oh no, someone take that away and prepare for that

156
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 4: text my friend.

157
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: I want her to do it.

158
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Also, just for information. As for her own relationship status,

159
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: Crystal is single.

160
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, well Crystal? Was there a Red Sox soon
