Chilling Discovery in New Home: Kitchen Knife Wrapped in Tissue Found Hidden in Crevice
[Anchor] It is a story about someone who was shocked to find bizarre items after moving into a new home. What kind of items were they?

[Reporter] They were a hidden kitchen knife and a set of keys.

Recently, a story was posted on an online community about a person who discovered bizarre items while looking around their new "jeonse" (long-term deposit rental) home.

The user reported that a kitchen knife and a bundle of keys, wrapped in multiple layers of tissue, were found in a crevice behind the gas range hood, and that even food waste had been left behind in the kitchen sink drain.

Feeling uneasy, the user asked an AI about the discovery and was told that it could be a superstitious act intended to ward off bad luck or poverty.

The author expressed their displeasure, suggesting that the previous tenants seemed to have tried to pass their misfortune on to someone else.

Netizens who encountered the story reacted by saying, "It’s only natural to feel uncomfortable," and "Are there still people who believe in such superstitions?"

On the other hand, some suggested, "There is no need to read too much into it, as they could simply be items that were left behind by mistake."

To ensure that the first memory of a new home is not one of unpleasantness, it seems that a minimum level of consideration for the next occupant is necessary.
