Chapter 126: I Cup Woman, Part 3

“Please make sure she keeps touching her breasts after her debut, when using the 3D model.”

It was a perplexing request for Jo A-yeong.

It sounded like a new form of workplace sexual harassment.

Being proactive about using her breasts for marketing and being asked to touch them constantly during streams were different.

“Could you explain what you mean by ‘keep touching her breasts’…?”

It required clarification, and Hayoon, recognizing this, suggested they leave the studio and go to a nearby cafe.

“I’ll explain.”

“Okay, I’m listening.”

And so, in a serious atmosphere…

“What do you think when you see a woman doing this?”

Hayoon placed her hands on her own breasts.

E-cup breasts.

Though not as large as Jo A-yeong’s I-cup, they were still quite ample.

“Well, it’s pretty. Eye-catching. The viewers would probably think the same.”

“Exactly.”

Hayoon agreed with Jo A-yeong’s calm assessment.

Then…

“What do you think when you see this?”

“Uh…”

Hayoon held her hands a fist’s width away from her chest, in the air.

“I would wonder, ‘Why is she doing that?’ It would look… strange.”

“Haha…”

Hayoon chuckled awkwardly at Jo A-yeong’s honest reaction, then added a condition.

“What if it’s a virtual avatar?”

“A virtual avatar?”

“Imagine I’m a virtual avatar, and there’s this much space between my hands and my chest. What would you think?”

“Uh… that her breasts are big…?”

“Exactly. That’s the point.”

“What do you mean…?”

Jo A-yeong still looked puzzled.

Her lack of awareness in this area suggested her streaming talent was average.

Hayoon cut to the chase.

“You said you wanted to use your breasts for marketing, right?”

“Well, yeah, I don’t have much else to offer…”

Jiggle.

Jo A-yeong cupped her overflowing breasts and tilted her head slightly.

“Besides these?”

That expression.

The “I know my strengths” expression.

It was annoying, but also appealing.

This was a proposal only someone like Jo A-yeong could make.

“Then, how about this? There’s a Vtuber whose breasts are clearly larger than her model. People would be amazed, saying, ‘Are they really that big? Bigger than the model? Are those proportions even real?’”

“That’s true… I guess?”

“Of course, some people would say, ‘It’s all fake. It’s an act. Those can’t be real,’ and so on.”

“Hmm… that’s true…”

Jo A-yeong agreed.

She had often been asked, “Are those real?” by other women during her school and work days.

Crazy
.

If they were jealous, they should just say so. What kind of manners was it to question the authenticity of someone’s breasts?

“There are a lot of people like that.”

Jo A-yeong shook her head, as if recalling unpleasant memories.

“So, after all the haters accumulate, questioning the authenticity of Vivian’s breasts, you reveal the truth with a semi-cam stream on Valentine’s Day. How about that?”

“Ah…!”

Jo A-yeong finally understood Hayoon’s intention.

Starting from their debut live stream at KINTEX, she would subtly emphasize the difference between her model and her real breasts by touching them, creating controversy and attracting haters.

Then, around Valentine’s Day, she would do her first semi-cam stream as a gift to her fans.

The reaction would be explosive.

Fans, haters, and curious onlookers—everyone would tune in to see Vivian’s I-cup reveal.

“You can imagine the scene, right? ‘Wow! Those breasts!’ or ‘Oh my god,’ you know what kind of comments there will be. If you can handle that and continue streaming while laughing it off, constantly touching your chest is a good way to generate buzz.”

Hayoon’s explanation was over.

Now, it was Jo A-yeong’s decision…

“Okay, I’ll do it.”

“Really?”

“You know I don’t have anything else to offer.”

Jo A-yeong wouldn’t back down from this.

The course of action for Vtuber Vivian was set.

***

Although Hayoon had suggested using her chest as a selling point, relying solely on that felt irresponsible.

As a company, they couldn’t just tell a newly debuting Vtuber, “You have nothing to offer but your breasts, so just flaunt them.”

She wanted to equip Jo A-yeong with something more.

To find a solution…

“Here.”

“Long time no see, Senpai.”

She met with Do Jin-ho, BGG Company’s jack-of-all-trades.

The location was the familiar cafe near Seodaemun Station.

“Have you thought about what I told you?”

“I have. You’re asking what Jo A-yeong, Vivian’s, strengths are, right?”

“Yes.”

They placed their cold brew and latte on the table and took a sip before starting their discussion.

“There are several options. Scarlet and Lucy focus on singing.”

“Their speaking skills are average, but their singing attracts viewers. Many people listen to their singing streams like a radio before going to bed.”

“Lucy will probably follow Scarlet’s path.”

Lucy’s YouTube channel was already doing better than Scarlet’s.

And Seo Ji-woo could also cultivate an innocent persona…

“Maybe she has even more potential? In this industry, the more extreme, the higher the potential. And Seo Ji-woo is quite the airhead.”

“Hey, she’s not an airhead. Just a bit naive.”

“You’re not denying it?”

“She’s not smart enough to deny it…”

There was nothing to worry about.

A manufactured airhead persona had limited potential.

It could backfire due to the uncanny valley effect, leading to criticism and mental distress, causing the streamer to abandon the persona or change their direction entirely.

However, the world was vast, and there were many genuine airheads.

Most people who worked at large corporations weren’t pretending to be airheads; they just were.

And Seo Ji-woo was one of them. Once she gained momentum, her live streams would flourish.

“What about Baek-seol?”

“Shiro Yuki is similar. Her singing isn’t as good as the other two, but she’s above average, judging by her algorithm performance. And ASMR itself is a cheat code.”

“Right, if she does 19+ ASMR, her viewership will explode. She definitely has potential.”

Baek-seol had ASMR as her weapon.

She wrote good scripts and, like Jo A-yeong, was determined.

She wouldn’t hesitate to read 19+ scripts.

She had the tools to grow her channel.

“But this is strange. How did we end up with only breasts as a selling point?”

“I know, right?”

But Jo A-yeong’s situation was different.

While she could use her breasts, it had a long cooldown.

Too many semi-cam streams would damage her identity as a Vtuber.

And her singing, while decent, wasn’t outstanding. She was even less popular than Shiro Yuki, a fellow newcomer Utaite, let alone Scarlet and Lucy.

Her only weapon was her chest, but she couldn’t use it often.

Overuse would diminish its impact and damage her Vtuber identity.

How could they solve this dilemma?

“Sigh…”

“Haa…”

Hayoon and Do Jin-ho sighed.

It was a difficult problem.

“Is Jo A-yeong good at games? Does she play any games regularly?”

“No… She said she had no time for games after graduating and working a six-day-a-week job at a
company.”

“That’s tough.”

“It is.”

Jo A-yeong’s only proven weapon was her chest, which had limited uses.

Sharing stories about her terrible job could turn her stream into a depressing, self-pitying mess.

As they were lamenting, Do Jin-ho’s eyes suddenly widened.

“Wait a minute…”

“What?”

“Jo A-yeong’s only weapon is her chest?”

“Yes, why?”

“Why didn’t I think of this before?”

“Think of what?”

He mumbled something to himself.

Hayoon, frustrated, pressed him for an answer.

“Let’s have her learn how to dance. People with big breasts are usually bad at dancing because they’re clumsy, right? So, just like how Seo Ji-woo’s airheadedness is her weapon…”

“We can use her clumsiness as a weapon…? We have her 3D model, so…!”

“We can buy her a motion capture suit and have her do dance streams at home.”

“With a haptic suit, she can even make suggestive noises while dancing…”

“It’ll be perfect for YouTube, and once it goes viral, her channel will grow…!”

The two, experts in this field, exchanged ideas, their banter like a well-rehearsed script.

A second solution for Jo A-yeong, Vivian, was secured.
