Two months ago, Lee Doo-Oh had started clipping entertainment-related articles and sending them to me. He even organized them, hoping they would be helpful.
As someone who had returned to the past, I didn't really need them—especially since I had the powerful Everday. But recently, the quality of his information had changed. Lee Doo-Oh began automatically analyzing social media, articles, and search trends to send genuinely useful content.

So now, I could show this file he prepared to the people gathered in the BM Report underground office and explain today's events.
