[Majiya sings pretty well, huh?]
Damn, but why is she singing trot?
There are so many good songs!
That one, um?
You know!
Sing that one!!!!

— Parallel994: For real
— Parallel329: For real
— Parallel281: Didn’t it feel cute, like watching a kid at a trot competition?

Parallel852: That’s true, but this isn’t what I wanted…

Parallel362: Ah, I totally agree, lol

[The kids are misunderstanding something, lol]
Didn’t you feel anything when you saw the gallery owner sing a Slow Train?
I felt a huge sense of discomfort.
If you’ve seen Fantasia, you know Majiya is seriously addicted to being a Virtual Youtuber.
But damn, the Virtual Youtubers completely ignored their original songs and covers to sing trot.
It must be her favorite song, right?
And
(lol.gif)
(lol1.gif)
What’s more, she keeps talking nonsense while singing.
Seeing that made it clear to me.
Majiya just doesn’t want to sing the songs you want, lol.
She never had any intention of getting our attention from the start.
Since she’s a working adult, she’s saying not to treat her like a Virtual Youtuber, yeah.

— Parallel741: Can I make a meme out of this?
– Parallel578 (Author): Do as you please
— Parallel751: I thought she was doing more streams lately because the working adult RP was loosening up.
–
Parallel898: It’s not even RP, lol.
–
Parallel654: Wasn’t it RP?
–
Parallel654: Is she really a working adult?
–
Parallel009: The influx of new viewers has increased so much, and they don’t even know this.

[While browsing the gallery, I took a strong dose of Real-life Identity]
I was originally just watching Rupko, but after seeing Yeongdo sing trot, I got curious and came here.
Wasn’t Majiya a Virtual Youtuber???
I thought she was a Parallel Virtual Youtuber, lol.

— Parallel014: There are so many people like you, seriously.
— Parallel225: Did we have this many new viewers from the competition?
–
Parallel901: The finals had 250,000 viewers, you know.
–
Parallel225: Was it that much?
… ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ …
Majiya sang trot without much thought, but there was one thing she didn’t realize.
She was crowned MVP at the competition and made a big splash.
If she hadn’t streamed after the competition, it wouldn’t have mattered, but participating and singing there, no matter how much it was trot, isn’t that just a Virtual Youtuber?
Among the 250,000 who watched the finals, the proportion of the Parallel fandom? It was barely 30%.
As people who didn’t know started to flood in, the existing Parallel fandom that was also watching the streams began to dwindle in numbers.
As a result, the community was filled with silly questions and answers.
Wasn’t it a working adult RP?
It’s not RP!
Isn’t she a working adult concept streamer?
No! She’s a working adult!
This was somewhat amusing, and it became a template that circulated to annoy the old-timers and the established members.
As that back-and-forth was captured and reproduced, it began to spread throughout the community….
[ (🔴Live) Auction Day | Parallel Situation Room ] 👪9,422
#NightofLegend #Parallel #Dora #Komari
Just a day after Majiya sang trot, the Situation Room started with nearly double the viewers.
Most of the new viewers had come after listening to Majiya’s trot clips, the ‘unfamiliar drifters.’
As a result, a collective behavior erupted, as if one person was spamming.
— Sing a song
— Sing a song
— Sing a song
— Sing a song
— Sing a song
— Sing a song
— Sing a song
In a way, this was evidence that the discussion about Majiya’s singing ability was rolling around in the Parallel-related community.
But there was no special response.
Majiya was busy doing her own thing, alternating between the channels of the Parallel members as usual.
“Looks like many people didn’t read the chat rules today.”
During her time as a manager, Majiya had developed the skill of watching the stream with one eye while searching for trouble with the other, not wanting to miss a second of the Boss’s broadcast.
With the support of Gong Seung-yeon in the office, it took less than 10 minutes for the chat to stabilize.
Though quite a few people were cut off.
In internet broadcasting, those who don’t follow the broadcast rules have no right to complain even if they get banned by the owner of the stream.
“Today, I’ll be watching Dora as the main. It’s also auction day.”
It’s awkward to ban them, but it’s also awkward to leave them be.
There are still many people who know how to draw the line, like Majiya during her bad days.
— Read the chat a bit, please
— Is there anyone here?
— Gurgle
— I want to hear anything!! Sing this and that!!
— Majiya is ignoring us ㅠㅠㅠ
— Does this person not usually read the chat??
As mentioned earlier, could Majiya, who came from a bad background, not understand what these friends were thinking?
Unlike the ones spamming to sing, these guys would quietly wait for the next opportunity if they felt it wasn’t working.
As long as she maintained her usual stance of communicating with those who shared stories about the members, they naturally quieted down.
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: How much will Dora sell for today? ::
“I think it will fail.”
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: I watched Extreme Angry Mari for a week, but her skills didn’t improve… ::
“I think we need to tell Komari to rest her voice for a while. She was screaming a lot.”
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: For real, lol, it was hilarious seeing Dora peacefully gaming in that situation. ::
“Dora must find Komari’s screaming like a lullaby by now.”
— It’s understandable
— If I listened to it for a week, it would probably feel like a lullaby too, lol
— Sister! Sister! Sister! Sister! Damn!
More than anything, when it comes to stories about the members, she responds even to a 1,000 won donation.
Those who knew had already been communicating happily with Majiya through 1,000 won donations.
Of course, some viewers who still hadn’t given up used clever methods to lead Majiya into talking about singing.
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: When will the next Maru cover song come out? ::
“Cover songs aren’t confirmed until they’re scheduled for release on YouTube, so we can’t answer that.”
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: Speaking of cover songs, I’d like to ask, what’s your favorite song of Maru’s, Jia? ::
“I like the most. I prefer the one where I cried while singing it live rather than the cover.”
— So bad, lol
— But isn’t that true?
— I’m Donggeul, and I totally agree with this.
— Those who say otherwise aren’t Donggeul, lol.
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: By the way, do you think you’ll sing trot like the first generation managers? That would be fun. ::
But you should use tricks on people who can be fooled.
Majiya had tried this method many times during the Boss’s broadcasts.
Of course, she ignored it completely.
The funny thing is, even in the midst of that, if someone threw an interesting idea, Majiya would eagerly accept it.
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: But soon it’s the Lunar New Year, aren’t the members going to have a song contest? ::
“I don’t know about that either. I’ll ask the Boss.”
She usually waits for content from a fan’s perspective, so she typically asks the Boss rather than checking with the planning team.
… She’s still somewhat unfamiliar with Team Leader Ra Seung-hyun from the planning team.
But since it came to mind, she sent a DingTalk message to Dohee and waited, and soon a reply came back.
[Boss: Have a song contest]
[Boss: Last day of the Lunar New Year holiday]
[Me: Oh, that day was a substitute holiday, right?]
[Boss: Yeah, Wednesday]
This Lunar New Year holiday is a golden holiday that lasts for five days straight, including the substitute holiday on Wednesday.
As the holiday lengthens, people naturally want to relax and look for ‘things to see.’
It seemed like a schedule aimed at those who would be lying down or sitting leisurely watching internet broadcasts.
The Parallel planning team is really working hard.
But on the other hand, I also think this.
It’s the last day of the holiday, and there are probably quite a few people who forget because they’re busy with family events, right?
If they held a small event the day before to remind people once more, it might help the event’s success on the day itself, even if just a little.
‘The aggro has already been sufficiently drawn….’
Though I didn’t fully understand why people wanted to hear her songs.
As always, Majiya was good at taking advantage of the pouring attention.
“Everyone, how about we push for a karaoke session on the official channel during the Lunar New Year holiday?”
— ?
— Huh?
— What?
— ??
— Really?
— Seriously?
— For real?
The once heated chat room cooled down again with just a few donations.
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: You really believe this, lol, are you kidding? lol ::
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: It’s karaoke, but it won’t be Majiya singing, right? lol ::
— Wow, I almost fell for it.
— Keep doubting till the end.
— Ugh, this wicked person.
— (The chat bot has detected inappropriate expressions.)
— Definitely doubt it.
*
Watching the chat room filled with complaints made my lips curl up involuntarily.
Though they say they don’t believe it, just looking at the number of chats shows that everyone’s body is honest.
I immediately contacted the Boss.
[Me: Boss]
[Me: Can I do a content piece on Tuesday evening?]
[Me: It’s the day before the kids’ Lunar New Year song contest.]
The Boss’s reply was much quicker than before.
[Boss: What?]
[Boss: Do you want to do something? ]
[Me: Yes]
[Me: A viewer-participation illegal duet content.]
[Boss: …?]
[Boss: Sorry, I don’t quite understand what you want to do. Can you explain it more clearly?]
When a streamer plays a completed cover song or original song video in the background while singing live along with it, that’s called an illegal duet.
It’s not about going to the recording studio together to complete a song. It’s named that because they sing together freely.
What I want to do is this viewer-participation illegal duet karaoke.
The goal is to create an atmosphere as if the Parallel viewers are at a karaoke with the members, gathering the bored viewers during the Lunar New Year.
However, there’s a condition.
They must participate ‘anonymously’ while thoroughly concealing their identities.
This is to prevent specific viewers from becoming known and to allow me to secretly join in.
Can’t they just sing with a nickname?
That would be boring.
[Boss: So you won’t rank them separately and will give prizes based on viewer votes? ]
[Me: Yes]
[Boss: Got it]
[Boss: We’ll select about 20 people in advance based on recommendations from the fan cafe, and those people will participate in the main event. ]
[Boss: One viewer vote, and you’ll select one person to decide the winners. ]
[Boss: The winners will receive a goods set, and the members will do an illegal duet with the winners’ videos the next day. ]
[Boss: Is that right? ]
[Me: That’s right.]
[Boss: Sounds good, cost-effective for promotion. ]
The Boss’s reaction was very positive.
It didn’t seem like there was much hesitation, and the final decision came quickly.
[Boss: I’ll connect you with Team Leader Ra tomorrow, so prepare a plan and submit it. I’ll check and revise it. ]
[Me: Sure.]
[Me: And I’ll be participating too, is that okay? ]
It took a bit longer for the next message to come.
[Boss: ??????????????????????]
This was the most hooks I had ever received in a message.
[Boss: No]
[Boss: Are you suddenly saying you’ll sing? ]
[Me: I sang yesterday too.]
[Boss: Oh]
[Boss: Wasn’t that something you prepared separately to look good in front of KraeMang? ]
[Me: No.]
[Me: And since this content is using the aggro drawn towards me, I can’t not participate. ]
I had mentioned before that singing the members’ songs in public could diminish their value.
But that was when the practice wasn’t sufficient.
Since there’s a weight to the official, I wanted to show it only when I was fully prepared, even if it was an impression.
The rapid-fire rap I showed in Find Rain was practiced for days to achieve perfect imitation.
[Boss: That’s true, but]
[Boss: It’s just unexpected.]
[Boss: Why didn’t you do that during our company dinner then…]
[Me: It’s nice when the kids are having fun together, but it feels a bit off for me to join in. ]
[Me: I have some sense too.]
[Boss: ……?]
[Boss: Well, do as you please.]
Anyway, that’s the end of the discussion.
I conveyed some of the organized content to the viewers.
“I talked with the Boss, and he said it’s okay. I’ll let you know when it’s confirmed.”
— Hmm…
— Hmm…
— Hmm
“You don’t have to believe it, but please check Z regularly. If you complain later saying you didn’t see the announcement, I won’t know.”
Those who thought it was a solo karaoke like the members might be disappointed.
But anyway, I’ll be singing a song. Isn’t that enough?
:: An anonymous supporter donated 10,000 Clouds! ::
:: You’re going to sing some weird song anyway, so don’t act like it’s a big deal… ::
“No, I’ll be singing the kids’ songs.”
— Who are you?
— Yes, yes.
— Go ahead, yes.
Even though I conveyed my sincerity, the viewers’ doubts didn’t easily dissipate.
Maybe that’s why donations like this started coming in.
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: If you really sing, I’ll donate 1 million won that day. ::
“If you don’t donate, can I ban you for that day?”
I thought they would back off when I mentioned banning, but to my surprise.
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: Deal ::
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: 500,000 won bet ::
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: 10,000 won ::
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: Wow, I’ll bet 100,000 won ::
:: An anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: 100,000 won bet ::
— What is this, should I join in too, lol?
— I’m not a liar.
— They’re investment geniuses, wow.
The number of people who were willing to voluntarily get banned if they didn’t donate kept increasing.
… What is this, are they donation angels?
Author’s Note (Author’s Commentary)
There will be no continuous updates this weekend to organize the plot, so please understand generously for the cute Jia. Hehehe…
