Take the Whip!

-Let’s go in, let’s go in, let’s go in!

-Open the door, broadcaster! Do you want to see me go crazy? Open it now!

-A broadcast after ten days… This is quite precious indeed.

-Today must be a cam broadcast for sure, right? Looking forward to Hani cat girl 2.0.

-Today needs to be at least a 24 hour broadcast. Agree? Everyone agrees!

The broadcast screen was still dark.

The viewers were anticipating.

It was the first long break since debut after consistently streaming.

Isn’t that how it is for everyone?

You don’t realize how precious something is when it’s by your side.

The viewers who realized this fact through the 10-day absence were causing an uproar.

And they made a resolution.

To ‘tighten discipline’ so that such a long break never happens again.

But I had already grasped such dark intentions in advance.

‘I can’t just meekly go along with this.’

It’s good to have many viewers.

It would be nice if they lead the broadcast in a positive direction too.

But that should only be ‘supplementary’ at most.

After all, it’s the BJ’s role to maintain the core of the broadcast!

I will bring down the hammer on the malicious ones trying to shake that.

But how?

‘First, I need to take away their justification.’

There’s a clear reason why the viewers are so emboldened right now.

A short, inconsiderate notice suddenly posted without any signs.

And the 10-day long break that followed.

The complete lack of communication during that period.

I could make excuses about focusing on the tournament, but it could backfire with claims that I could have at least managed 10 minutes of brief communication.

I need to grasp the situation well.

‘Is that really the only way?’

Just thinking about it makes me frown already.

I’ve already left two black history moments with Hani cat and bunny girl.

I never thought I’d be volunteering for this myself.

A tasty carrot to offer the angry viewers.

That’s right, a penalty broadcast.

‘After soothing the angry public sentiment like that, I should then take their lost justification as my own.’

If I gave the carrot, now it’s time for the whip.

Look forward to it, you malicious ones.

My whip will be quite stinging.

The broadcast begins.

I prepared a lot for today’s broadcast.

First, I bought gifts and visited the neighbors who complained about noise between floors.

And I apologized.

I’m sorry for causing so much trouble all this time.

I’m planning to move within 2 weeks, so please wait just a little longer.

And I added at the end.

Today might be a bit noisy because of a special broadcast, so I ask for your understanding.

Since I’m even moving because of this issue, they seemed quite understanding.

After wrapping up the surrounding issues like that, I returned home and prepared the ‘carrot’ for the viewers.

I block the background scenery behind the cam with a green screen.

And I start the broadcast dressed in formal women’s attire to appear respectful.

I’m imitating the apology video of a famous streamer with considerable recognition on Twit TV.

This should lighten up the stiff atmosphere at the start a bit.

My thoughts were exactly on point, as seen in the viewers’ chats pouring in as soon as the broadcast started.

-ㅋ I’m sorry? Is this perhaps imitating King Kong?

-For real, no one can match King Kong when it comes to apologies.

-Wow! Look at that suit fit;; Is Hani a goddess? Is Hani a goddess? Is Hani a goddess?

-What is this ㅋ She looks like she should be ‘reflecting’ right away.

I glance at the chat while standing at attention.

The viewer count was still insufficient.

It needs to increase a bit more, and I’m also exposing myself waiting in this uncomfortable pose to evoke sympathy.

-Huh? Why is she like this. Is it a still image?

-At least she turned on the cam. Honestly, if it was a no-cam stream after 10 days off, there’d be a riot right away.

-Hani, explain yourself! About abandoning the viewers for 10 days.

-Quickly promise that this will never happen again!

-She’s just standing still, but she’s really pretty. Looks like she’s doing a photo shoot.

-Hani, write a 10-page reflection essay today and post it on the broadcast station!

The malicious ones start speaking up with their spirits raised as I start with a subdued appearance.

The viewer count hits 2,000 and the upward trend slowly starts to slow down.

The time has come.

I slowly bow my head while facing the front of the screen.

My head lowered until the crown is visible stays fixed in that position for about 5 seconds to show my sincerity in apologizing.

-Seeing her apologize first, maybe we can forgive her?

-No, not yet. She needs to do at least a penalty broadcast before we forgive.

-Shouldn’t it be at least a pool villa bikini cam broadcast this time?

“Hello. I’m BJ Hani, broadcasting on New Continent TV. First, I sincerely apologize to the viewers who were disappointed and inconvenienced by my inconsiderate break notice and lack of communication.”

I bow my head politely once again.

-Still, compared to other BJs who make excuses first, watching Hani is like seeing a fairy ㅋ

-For real, that’s true.

-But it’s still lacking compared to King Kong. Should have prepared more perfectly with oyster mushrooms and props!

-Mentioning other broadcasters, ban please ㅋ

I can feel the angry viewers calming down a bit.

I don’t stop here and throw the prepared ‘carrot’.

“As a sincere reflection and to repay the viewers who waited for a long time, I’ve decided to do another ‘penalty broadcast’. I plan to do it within this month for sure, and I’ll notify later when the date is confirmed.”

-She did it! She did it! She did it!

-We did it! We finally did it. We’ve obtained the third penalty broadcast!

-Ah, can’t resist a penalty broadcast ㅋ So what is it this time. What’s the third legendary broadcast after Hani cat and bunny girl.

-Hey hey hey, you’re letting her off with just this? Let’s ask for a promise to prevent recurrence and a bikini cam broadcast too.

-Tsk tsk tsk. What simps. You’re letting her off with just that?

-Then what more should we ask for? No, are we feminists? Constantly asking her to ‘do’ things. This is enough.

Cracks start to form in the tightly unified public opinion of the viewers.

The general viewers who are gradually satisfied with my continued polite apologies and penalty broadcast promise, and the malicious ones trying to knead and lead the broadcast atmosphere as they want.

I take out a prop I prepared in advance from my back pocket while timing it.

-Ooh? What’s this?

-Oh! It’s glasses. Hani wearing glasses… this is rare.

-Wow. Usually women look weird with glasses, but she’s really gorgeous;; Pretty no matter what she does.

-She’s pretty, but why suddenly wear glasses? Did her eyesight get worse?

I put on the glasses and wear the prepared red bow tie.

Then I play the prepared mini music.

The main theme of Detective Conan that makes your heart pound.

-Oh? Is this?

-Is something big coming? Is something big coming? Is something big coming?

I speak in a low voice to the viewers filled with doubt and anticipation.

That I’ll do broadcasts with more sincerity and consideration for viewers from now on.

But there’s no such thing as a one-sided relationship anywhere.

Viewers need to keep their side too.

Basic manners and consideration towards the BJ.

I display on screen the most malicious posts among those that occupied the board for the past ten days.

The atmosphere changes.

Viewers whispering and malicious ones feeling urgent.

I imitated Conan’s voice and said:

“The culprit is among us!”

-R-run away!

-Your Honor, I didn’t do it. It was my cat who posted those!

-ㅋ Serves the malicious ones right. I knew it from when I was occupying and spamming the board.

-Honestly, didn’t we all enjoy watching the cam broadcast edit clips together? ㅋ

-Shh! Now’s the time to cut losses.

The atmosphere reverses.

Now it’s time for the whip.

---

Level, line, standard… expressed in many words.

We often hear:

‘Keep the level’, ‘Don’t cross the line’, ‘This is the standard’, etc… Simply put, there’s a Maginot line that the BJ sets as a standard in broadcasts.

The final fortress that must be protected and never given to viewers.

If this is easily allowed, the broadcast atmosphere becomes completely swayed by viewers and sometimes develops into serious problems.

That’s why veteran BJs strictly keep this ‘line’.

They’ve already been burned badly as beginners and know better than anyone what happens when this collapses.

But on the other hand, it wasn’t an easy task even for veterans to just keep it unconditionally.

People love freedom.

Conversely, they hate control.

Strictly keeping the ‘line’ is closer to control than freedom.

Even if you try to express and enjoy a fully joyful mood, if there are controlled parts, you can’t fully savor it.

For that reason, the control loosens once in a while, and then you can taste sweet fruit immediately.

New influx of viewers flocking in through stimulating issues, topics, or joint broadcasts.

View counts or water balloon income increases greatly.

Instead, the newly inflowed viewers make chats or actions that cross the line.

Then problems arise as the boundary of the established ‘line’ becomes blurred.

You have to either expand the line’s boundary more considering the broadcast’s expandability, or tighten the standards.

There’s no correct answer here.

After all, we’ll have to watch the results revealed in the future.

My current position was similar to this.

The relatively strict broadcast atmosphere I set at first.

It was becoming quite blurred through rapid broadcast growth via joint broadcasts or cam broadcasts.

So occasionally frown-inducing chats started appearing, and this time they even made a mess on the broadcast station board!

Now action was needed.

The direction my broadcast should go forward in my mind.

For that, I decided to punish the malicious ones today.
