Repeats a verb around 거나 … 말거나 to mean "whether X or not" — the outcome is the same either way. Every line here is one of two set phrases: 믿거나 말거나 "believe it or not", which flags a story you cannot verify, and 그러거나 말거나 "whatever, regardless", for carrying on while ignoring someone. Both appear as on-screen caption text in these lines as well as in speech.

Register: casual; 믿거나 말거나 is a fixed tag
