This is the art of 'landi' but with more effort. It’s what you do to get your crush's attention, what a sales agent does to make you buy something you don't need, or what a new K-pop group does to make you join their fandom. It's the power to pull people in.
From `mang-` (actor-focus verb prefix) + `akit` (attract, charm).
