Buying 'Kuman Thong' Online for Luck? Expert Says They Fail in Daylight, Don't Seek Ghosts for Prescriptions

A recent online discussion has highlighted a growing trend of purchasing "Kuman Thong" and other Southeast Asian folk items for luck and fortune. This phenomenon has reportedly drawn in junior and senior high school students who are blindly following the trend out of curiosity.

Folk expert Liao Da-yi warns that genuine sorcery or black magic spells lose their power when exposed to light. He suggests that items sold online, often presented as potent charms, are likely inauthentic. Liao emphasizes that seeking supernatural solutions for problems, particularly those involving spiritual or magical practices, is ill-advised.

The real magic or black magic spells will fail when exposed to light.

Liao advises against purchasing such items, especially those promoted as capable of changing one's luck. He stresses that the practice of acquiring these objects, particularly for minors, is problematic. The expert cautions that engaging with these practices can lead to unforeseen negative consequences, likening it to seeking medical treatment from unqualified individuals.

He further explains that the effectiveness of these charms is often exaggerated or fabricated. The belief that these objects can bring wealth or good fortune is a misconception. Liao urges individuals, especially young students, to exercise caution and critical thinking when encountering such trends online, rather than blindly participating.
