Chapter 92: Cover Song

#[Japanese Person Evaluates Korean Idols]

(Broadcast Screenshot)

=But it’s unnecessarily accurate lol.

-Wow lol.

-I’ve lived to hear a Japanese person’s evaluation.

-But somehow, I don’t feel bad…

ㄴ But seriously, that song did get some talk lol.

-Jap b*tch dares.

-But don’t foreigners like everything Korean?

ㄴ ???

What are you?

ㄴ You think so?

ㄴ Those people also filter out what’s not good…

-But looking at what she’s doing, it seems like she’s done something professionally.

If you listen, it actually makes sense.

ㄴ fr, even most singers can’t catch that lol.

 

#[Mafia’s Best Play]

=This b*tch is truly the best spy of this era.

She even killed the doctor who saved her and turned the game around.

-Even though she was the psycho lol.

-Truly a Cheong-psycho.

ㄴ Ahaha lol.

-Back then, Jisu was just Kim’s personal doctor.

 

#[Today’s Mafia Psycho Couple Legend]

=That’s none other than the crazy cop and the serial killer.

-The two of them take turns being psychos, so there’s no answer lol.

-??? : Ah, this village is full of beasts, there’s no answer!

ㄴ Dr. Do, who secured another vote today…

ㄴ lol.

ㄴ But it really was a mess lol.

ㄴ Three psychos, one mafia, one terrorist, a thief, and a magician in the village…

ㄴ Truly a demon world ㄷㄷ (shivers).

 

#[Is This Human?]

(Kim Cheongha’s Profile)

‘Act properly’

=To a former child actor and 1 million YourTuber.

-lol.

-What is this, f*ck lol.

-Fact) She really said that.

ㄴ No, the tone is different though lol.

ㄴ I can’t even deny it, really lol.

-Kim Cheongha / Controversy…

-But isn’t that really something you shouldn’t say to a failed child actor?

ㄴ Ahem, watch what you say on stream.

ㄴ She did apologize separately afterwards.

-But is Jisu at 1 million now?

First time I heard.

ㄴ No no, still in the 90s.

ㄴ If it’s 95, you can round up now.

ㄴ Don’t round up things like that, f*ck lol.

It’s like age.

 

#[Kim Cheongha, This B*tch Really]

=Considering the previous psycho incident, she’s a natural-born villain, simply lol.

But she has no substance.

-fr, a personality that could only come from a yakuza…

ㄴ You guys still haven’t given up on that? lol.

ㄴ Ah, yakuza is a romance.

ㄴ So cool.

ㄴ Otaku delusion ㄷㄷ (shivers).

-Can someone explain what happened in today’s collab?

-Fact) She took out all the survivors herself, but the mafia ended up winning.

ㄴ The bomber was a legend lol.

ㄴ Exploded right before the finish line…

ㄴ Serial Killer < Bomber < Mafia.

 

#[A Certain Vtuber’s Earnings in One Day]

=F*ck.

-What is it? ㄷㄷ (shivers).

-The base is 100,000 won, crazy.

-F*ck, do these thirsty fans have nothing to do?

Why spend money on that?

ㄴ They do it because they earn well themselves.

-Meanwhile, these keyboard warriors have so much f*cking money lol.

-So how much did she make?

ㄴ She made 2.5 million in total that day lol.

ㄴ And that was even after she set a maximum limit of 100,000 won because it was too much.

ㄴ Wow, crazy.

 

#[F*ck, I’m Becoming a Vtuber Too]

=That btch earns 200 a day, what am I, fck.

-Ah lol.

-If you’re jealous, become a Vtuber too lol.

-But that really seems strange, doesn’t it?

What kind of small-timer’s income is that???

ㄴ fr, even big companies don’t make that much.

ㄴ Agreed, she blew up too much overnight.

ㄴ Honestly, if you’re a Carboong-ie (forum user) who sometimes feels deprived, raise your hand.

ㄴ Hand.

ㄴ S.

 

#[But Kim Cheongha’s Channel]

(YouTube Screenshot)

=She’s uploaded quite a few videos now.

Seems like she uploaded them according to the hot clip cycle?

-Doesn’t it get good exposure starting from around 15 videos?

ㄴ Yeah, you need at least that many for the algorithm to promote it.

-By the way, she already has 30,000 subscribers.

ㄴ ???

Already?

ㄴ So fast…

ㄴ Honestly, at this rate, won’t she hit 100,000 soon? lol.

ㄴ If she hits 100,000 in less than a month after creating the channel, f*ck lol.

ㄴ At that point, there’s really something there.

ㄴ She received a crazy amount of spillover lol.

---

Some time after the Mafia game collab.

“Hmm·····.”

Cheongha, who had finished her broadcast for the day, logged into Discord.

What she was currently looking at was the edited version of the YouTube video to be uploaded this time.

This time too, it was a video edited by Jumin, as always.

“Your skills are really good, aren’t they?”

I feel it every time I see it; I picked one good person.

Then, a completely unexpected answer came back from Jumin.

[Ah, yes.]

This time, Noona helped a bit, so it was easy.

“Ah, really?”

Did Sehee know how to do that kind of thing?

Actually, she did have the image of an all-rounder girl who was good at everything, but I really didn’t know she was good at that too.

I guess she has a natural talent.

Seeing that the editor also studies well, maybe it just runs in their family?

[Of course, I did about 98% of it, though.]

“Ah, hahaha·····.”

Still, perhaps because of the editor’s pride, a preemptive remark immediately flew in.

…That’s your older sister, kid.

“Oh, by the way, who won?”

[Yes?]

“The donations, I mean.”

With Sehee.

I’m really curious about this.

Honestly, I’m curious about them doing WWE too, but more than anything, isn’t this a matter related to the family hierarchy?

A battle between a third-year high school student at the peak age for college entrance exams and the idol who is the family’s top output!

It seems like it would be surprisingly evenly matched.

For now, I’m personally on Sehee’s side.

She earns good money, right?

[Ah, I won that one, of course.]

Then, Jumin’s answer came back in a tone that suggested I was asking something obvious.

Right, still, he’s a guy, so he probably wouldn’t lose in terms of strength.

Gender discrimination.

It’s not like that, but isn’t he biologically more advantageous in the first place?

[Well, in the first place, it’s a problem that can be solved by telling Mother.]

“Aha.”

Come to think of it, that’s true.

No matter how much money her daughter earns, if she found out that she poured 2 million won into a streamer, and in one day at that, she wouldn’t stand still.

“Ah, could you revise this part a little?”

[Ah, alright.]

Anyway, after finishing all the remaining comments.

I ended the call with Jumin.

‘Come to think of it, it’s May now, right?’

Wow, it feels like just yesterday that I started broadcasting; time sure flies.

It’s Parents’ Day in Korea soon, should I ask Sehee to send a gift or something sometime?

Why, don’t companies usually give things like New Year’s gifts?

Anyway, it was a gift I never had a chance to send on both Father’s Day and Mother’s Day in Japan.

Trying to give a gift like this once might not be a bad experience.

Just as I was lost in such warm thoughts.

– (Diring-)

A call came through on my Discord.

“Hello?”

[Cheongha, do you happen to have time right now?]

The caller was none other than our MCN CEO.

A voice for off-air use, completely different from his broadcast persona, and one I hadn’t heard in a while, came through.

Come to think of it, this person’s voice is really good.

His face is reasonably okay too.

If it weren’t for his usual broadcaster image, he’s the type who would have been popular with women at first glance.

But, why is this person using his business voice for a change?

It seemed certain that something important was up.

[Ah, there’s a group cover song recording schedule with some close streamer friends.]

“···Yes?”

At the sudden proposal, I was momentarily at a loss for words.

Um, a streamer group cover song?

The one I know?

[Yes, it would be great if Cheongha-nim could participate.]

What do you think?

You sing well, don’t you?

“Uh·····.”

A cover song.

Honestly, it wasn’t that I hadn’t thought about it.

If you look on YouTube, famous streamers all have at least one cover song uploaded.

In the first place, I had even thought about trying to record one someday when the commotion died down.

‘Still, this seems a bit fast·····.’

I’ve been doing frequent collabs with other streamers, and my clips are now being uploaded to Dot Entertainment’s official channel.

Thanks to that, I’m currently riding the algorithm and my channel is growing, so it might not be a bad idea to give it wings at an opportunity like this.

Well, should I take a look and think about it first?

“By any chance, who is participating?”

[Ah, just a moment.]

I’ll send you the list.

And the file that arrived shortly after.

Names I would recognize were written there.

‘Hmm·····.’

Since debuting as a full-fledged streamer, I’ve looked up many Korean streamers.

The file the CEO handed me contained many names of people ranked high on Switch.

Matching the song’s concept, all the participating singers were female.

It seems the organizing side really has a wide network.

Hmm, but…

“But, is it okay for me to sing?”

First, issues related to my identity are a given.

Here, no matter how I look at it, this doesn’t seem like a party I should be joining.

Having lived in the music industry for over 10 years, I was confident I wouldn’t fall behind them in terms of singing ability.

But that’s that, and this is this.

A channel has its own scale.

No matter how I look at this, isn’t this like a day-old puppy going hunting with a tiger?

‘Is this really okay?’

Celebrities attract attention just by existing nearby.

I myself had experienced it dozens of times, so I was well aware of it.

And, it was the same for streamers.

This would attract too much attention in its own way.

“What do you think?”

No matter how much of a failure he was, he was still undeniably a former celebrity.

Since he would know much more about the main audience, the Korean public, than I do, I decided to ask for his advice once.

[Well, there shouldn’t be a big problem.]

Cheongha-nim’s Korean voice is very different from her Japanese one.

Even if rumors were to spread, it would be treated as just rumors and passed over.

“Is that so·····?”

[More than anything, since talk related to Ren has also decreased recently, I think it will be fine.]

Hmm, is that so?

Indeed, perhaps because it’s a profession that makes a living by talking, there was a strange sense of trust in every word he spoke.

With this level of persuasiveness, he could be compared to me when I provoked actors.

If there’s no chance of my real identity being revealed, it’s a decent proposal, but….

“·····Then, I’ll consider it for now.”

[Yes, just give me an answer within this week.]

Still, since I couldn’t decide all at once, I decided to put my participation on hold for now.

Since this is a problem directly related to my celebrity days, it seems like an issue I need to think more about later.
