Fortune-tellers are those who, sitting at home, hustle money from visitors by lying to them. Who doesn't call them detestable defrauders, those who rob of money with sweet talk people who have failed in business and are very much concerned about the future?

The evidence that they are frauds is as follows. Who of them on earth predicted the major accidents of massive loss of life in Korea to prevent them in advance? How can you tell other's fortune when you don't know even the day you will die? Indeed nothing but a ridiculous and abominable mentality! one of the soothsayers may by chance say a prophecy that will come true for there are so many soothsayers in Korea. Then he hits the jackpot, and is known all over the country, securing a lot of customers. What a contradictory and silly society!

Soothsayers are making a lot of money, the ground of which is that some of them put ads in the Dong-A Ilbo every day. Their advertizing rates, I suppose, are tremendous. What kind of money? All the money through defrauding and lying! The Dong-A Ilbo must do rather wholesome business! If you grant them their advertisement, after all you will do damage to the readers. Truly you should apologize to the public!
