My Apartment Has Black Mold! 내 아파트에 검은 곰팡이가 있다!
[Power Dialog]
What's that black streak behind your bookshelf?
It's mold. I moved my bookshelf to cover it up so I wouldn't gross out my friends. I guess it's grown since then.
I think you should reach out to your landlord and get him to take care of it.
I did. He said he'd put a layer of wallpaper over it.
Wallpaper can't stop it. Black mold gets into your lungs and brain!
I have noticed I've been short of breath lately. Do you think that's why?
If I were you, I'd get tested right away - then move out of this death trap!
