Chapter 199: High-quality Broadcasting

The live review of Jo A-yeong’s custom-made bra stream went something like this.

“Look at this. Two hands can fit inside.”

First, Jo A-yeong would display pictures of the bra taken from various angles and creative compositions on the stream screen and begin her commentary.

– That’s insane.

– When it’s laid out, it’s slightly bigger than the tablet next to it. What the hell.

Then the viewers would make a fuss and chuckle.

To be honest, the internet streaming audience…

Especially Jo A-yeong’s streaming audience, can be conservatively estimated to be 98% male.

Because of this, their only exposure to women’s lingerie was usually a fleeting glance at their mother’s, sister’s, or younger sister’s laundry, and awkwardly hanging it on the clothesline.

So, they couldn’t help but pay close attention to the bra-related stories told by Jo A-yeong, a real-life woman with a natural I-cup.

Should one call it a man’s instinct?

It was hard to explain precisely, but it was a similar feeling.

Anyway.

“Originally, a high-quality bra should have a feeling of clinging to the skin. But not like a swimsuit. It should feel like a high-quality fabric gently settling on the chest like (downy hair).”

– So the one the CEO custom-made?

– Is it like downy hair?

“Similar. It’s not like it actually has hair standing on it because it feels like downy hair. It’s just that the high-quality silk material wraps around the skin without being burdensome. Kind of like pajamas?”

– Ooooh…

– I think I kind of get it…

Explaining the feeling of wearing a bra to men was difficult in many ways, but because it was difficult, it became stream content.

In the process of explaining this unique feeling in a way that could be understood, she had to say a lot of things, and so, even though she was just telling stories, the stream uptime was easily extended.

The viewers were happy to have a conversation about a moderately interesting topic, and Jo A-yeong was happy to have content to fill her stream time.

The stream progressed with a feeling of mutual benefit.

“This is the appearance? Like, a white bra with a white rose pattern, and a black bra with a black rose pattern, right? This kind of subtle design is also a characteristic of high-end lingerie.”

– Uh… isn’t that just lingerie?

– It’s lewd…

“That’s right. If it’s hot, it’s lingerie, and if not, it’s just underwear.”

– Ah.

– I understand now.

And so, as she told stories, time flew by.

‘It’s a bit much to spend over two hours just chatting.’

Although Jo A-yeong had a desire to coast through the stream, she wasn’t completely oblivious to the viewers’ opinions. She turned on her hand-cam periodically to manage their loyalty, but there was a limit to how much loyalty could be managed that way.

Ultimately, the most important thing was the fun of the broadcast.

“Should we spin the roulette wheel for a bit? The things that come to mind right now are dating sims, horror games, World Cup, and a singing stream.”

– Horror game?

– You said you’d do it?

– You’re in for it now.

“Ah.”

She pretended to sigh again, reacting as if she had misspoken.

Hayoon had said that these small reactions maximized the fun of the broadcast.

Jo A-yeong twisted her whole body to implement the broadcasting theory she had learned from Hayoon.

“It’s not that hot yet, do we really have to play a horror game? How about we just play a sweet dating sim? Guys? Huh? I heard a new one just came out.”

Pretending to take back her words, she mentioned the horror game once more.

– You said you’d do it?

– Even if not today, you’re doing it in the summer?

– You’re dead. Seriously.

And so, the chat naturally heated up, and the broadcast atmosphere became overheated.

The internet streaming viewers loved to see their favorite female streamers scream loudly, shriek, and then cry.

Jo A-yeong didn’t particularly like horror games either, but she would bring them out from time to time like this to maintain her viewers’ loyalty.

Since she used a 3D avatar, whenever she flinched while playing a horror game, it was all captured on the stream screen.

‘I’ll have to do a no-bra stream soon… Hmm…’

And so, it had become a rule to stream without a bra when playing horror games.

Of course, it was Jo A-yeong’s own rule that the viewers and even Hayoon didn’t know about.

One day, she had just turned on the stream with only nipple patches on without much thought, and the bust mopping captured on the stream screen that day was incredible.

The viewers felt that something was different that day, but it was Jo A-yeong’s secret sauce that she still hadn’t revealed.

“Then, let’s exclude the horror game for now and just spin the roulette for what we’ll do today, shall we?”

– GG.

– The chat was fun, how about an underwear World Cup?

“Hmm, wait a bit. I’ll link the roulette, so please vote starting in 10 minutes.”

“…”

She used the roulette as an excuse to naturally rake in some donations.

Jo A-yeong had become a professional streamer.

While Jo A-yeong was happily conducting her stream, Hayoon was going about her daily life.

“Ah, it’s not working. It’s not working.”

Of course, that daily life was not comfortable.

Hayoon was originally someone who churned out illustrations in her room.

When such a person tried to closely manage nearly 10 people, her communication skills were exhausted.

“Hwaaaaah…”

Should one say it felt like her body was melting into a puddle?

After communicating with the people around her to the best of her ability, the best she could do was lie down on her bed, exhausted, turn on the window-mounted air conditioner in her room, and stare blankly.

“How many years do I have to do this?”

At this rate, Hayoon’s introverted personality was about to be changed to an extroverted one.

In fact, Hayoon’s visits to restaurants with her colleagues or to Japanese and Chinese restaurants for culinary delights were all born out of a heartfelt goodwill to enjoy together…

When she contacted them, aware that she was doing it for the sake of appearances, she felt her communication skills being drained even more.

It was the unavoidable limitation of an introvert like Hayoon.

Introverts play just as well as extroverts with people within their own boundaries, but when pretense starts to mix into their communication with those people, they become rapidly tired.

What’s more, she hadn’t even become deeply close with the 2nd generation members yet.

“Is this right…”

This is…

Had she opened a path of self-torment?

Hayoon’s expression hardened as she had such thoughts.

She even wondered if she should start streaming again.

If she streamed frequently and did collaborations like before, she could probably become quite close with the 2nd generation members.

However…

“Starting to stream again is also a bit… tiring…”

Now that BGG Company had stabilized and Hayoon had some free time, if she turned on her stream just to get close to people, that would be putting a shackle on her own neck.

Once she started streaming again, it would be difficult to retire again.

“Or, instead of making a big deal about a comeback stream, should I just sneakily stream once a week?”

Even now, Hayoon occasionally appeared on the 1st generation members’ streams.

Just during Jo A-yeong’s birthday stream, she had poked her chest and then left.

She was that confident in her ability to play the supporting role, coming in and out at the right time.

“What would be the best thing to do…”

Turning on the stream was still a burden, she wanted to get close to the 2nd generation, but still, a full-fledged comeback to streaming was a bit much…

“Huh?”

At that moment.

What flashed through Hayoon’s mind was the thought, ‘What if I just don’t turn on the stream?’

In fact, there were many people who participated in collaborations or just chatted without turning on their own streams.

“Ji-woo is close with the 2nd generation. Maybe I should ask her to call me when she’s chatting with them.”

Recently, Seo Ji-woo had opened a YouTube chat channel.

Somehow, her chat videos had ridden the algorithm well, so she had even opened a new channel. Since she had to upload three or four times a week, the frequency of gathering and chatting before collaborations had also increased.

“This is it…?”

If Jo A-yeong was the type to chat well with her viewers on her own, Seo Ji-woo was the type to help the 2nd generation members adjust by chatting with them and uploading videos, gradually building their recognition.

If she joined Seo Ji-woo’s chat group off-stream, she felt she could naturally close the distance with the 2nd generation members.

“Speaking of which, should I check out the Scallop channel?”

Since she had thought about joining the chat stream, Hayoon also went to the Scallop channel.

Vivian Chat.

Since Vivian was a Western name, they had swapped the order of the last and first names and taken the “gari” from the front and the “bi” from the back to make the Garibi (Scallop) channel…

No, actually, Jo A-yeong had just made it the Scallop channel because she liked the sound of the word “scallop.” When she entered her chat channel…

“Eh…”

The view count of Jo A-yeong’s chat channel videos, which usually maintained a steady 100,000 views, had suddenly jumped.

A whopping 300,000…!

“I-cup bra review stream…?”

She was flustered.
