Obviously, the drink was drugged. I don't think it was an aphrodisiac; it's more common in America that someone laced the drink with an illegal substance. They probably want Jaekyung to be disqualified from the match and to ruin his reputation in Korea, since drugs are super illegal in Korea. Honestly, I think this is the work of someone with a grudge against Jaekyung.  It seems unlikely that it is his opponent. Why would the author emphasize that the guy who gave Dan the shake was Korean? That wouldn't matter unless it foreshadows that someone from Korea wants to sabotage Jaekyung. Idk who he made an enemy out of, but between the article and the drugs, someone is out to ruin Joo Jaekyung.

On a different note, I need Dan to leave. Making excuses for this type of treatment is exactly what battered spouses do. Stop defending him Dan! Hold him accountable and remove yourself from the situation. You can't allow him to continue treating you like this.

@BeautyIsPain Yes, exactly. The Author emphasizing that the drink culprit was Korean was no coincidence. Someone is out to ruin Jaekyung, which is not too far-fetched, given his history of being an a$$hole to ppl. My mind immediately goes to a jaded "ex-lover" or previous f*ck buddy (whatever you want to call his partners) - it could even be the guy from first chapters that he assaulted and kicked out when Doc Dan first came. Another possibility is that this could be someone from the MFC circle that Jaekyung has clashed with (and he prob has a laundry list of ppl). The possibilities are endless. What worries me the most is Doc Dan's safety in this changing climate around Jaekyung. He is already suffering the brunt, but even moreso, he is Jaekyung's weakness (I don't care what anyone says). Jaekyung may not admit/realize it, but Dan is his Achilles heel, and if something happened to him, he would lose his sh*t. We got a glimpse of this with Heesung coming into the picture and shaking things up for him. Typically in these stories, the "arch nemesis" of the MC or ML can often target someone close to them (a family member, lover, etc.)  to try and rattle them/get back at them. I wouldn't be surprised if someone catches on to how "important" Doc Dan is to Jaekyung, then decides to target him directly. I'm gonna need Dan to remove himself, and get the confidence to get out, somehow. He's continually in a dangerous environment, first with Jaekyung and how abusive and unstable he is, and now with some outside factor gunning for Jaekyung.
