Chapter 99: This is hip-hop

Esumi Leah’s apology broadcast reached a peak viewership of 30,256.

Such high attention was an expected outcome.

She was already a superstar with unprecedented growth in the Vtuber industry.

Origin Rift, entangled in the controversy, was popular enough to be called a national game.

And above all, the controversy and clarification itself stimulated the instinct to seek new excitement. Such incidents always trigger a strong dopamine rush.

Thus, the gathered viewers were divided into three groups:

Fans anxiously watching, concerned for her well-being.
Onlookers flocking together, not wanting to miss a historic event.
Malicious individuals seeking to fuel the controversy and revel in her downfall.

However, the broadcast defied everyone’s expectations, deviating from the anticipated course.

It was unusual from the start. The title was ‘I’m Sorry,’ but it wasn’t a formal apology broadcast. She said she was just trying to get attention.

From there, a peculiar atmosphere slowly, subtly began to permeate. Fans thought, ‘Seeing her usual crazy mode, maybe there’s nothing to worry about.’ Onlookers thought, ‘This person is different.’ And the malicious individuals thought, ‘Why is this b*tch so confident?’

Her incredibly calm demeanor amplified those feelings.

The dramatic moment when her past life as ‘ElfChoeun’ became official. Going beyond simply acknowledging the past, she intertwined it with her RP worldview. This momentarily shocked the viewers.

Some scoffed, some were dumbfounded, and some were bewildered. But one thing was clear: no one expected her to face the controversy in this way.

Her unpredictable words and actions continued.

Not an apology, not an excuse, not a refutation. An unprecedented response in the form of a ‘letter of conversion.’

The cherry on top was Cradle’s announcement during the broadcast. While addressing the hacking controversy, her biggest vulnerability, the game company itself announced her selection as an ‘Official Partner Streamer.’

In this situation, the outcome of the war between Leah and her anti-fans was practically decided. All the baseless accusations no longer had any ground to stand on.

However, there were still those who weren’t convinced, or rather, those who didn’t want to be convinced.

Like defeated soldiers planning for the future, they left the broadcast and scattered to various communities.

Attempts to fabricate new suspicions and rekindle the dying embers were detected there –

But they were thoroughly blocked by the agency’s announcement of strong legal action.

Like if you’re part of the hater group and your hands and feet are tingling and your eyes are tearing up at the thought of receiving a lawsuit lol

Comments:
– As long as it’s not~~~! Me~~~! I’m~~~! Fine~~~!
– Serves them right after trashing Pazijik Gallery for days~
– Those who were so arrogant for a week lol They’ll be suppressed in no time.

– From now on, this gallery belongs to Esumi Leah.
– The backlash will be strong because they tried to force her down… I don’t know how long this Vtuber reign will last.
– It was fun hating on her, wasn’t it? Now I’ll fill the top posts with Leah.
└ Have to upload everything, including relays, highlights, and just chatting content…
└ I’ll definitely surrender, so please don’t monopolize the top posts ㅜ
└ There are plenty of Vtuber galleries… Why here?
└ Look at the hypocrisy lol You guys filled the top posts with Leah controversies first.
└ It’s a turn-based game, but some aren’t following the turns??
└ Seriously, if you lost, you should leave the room or crawl away lol

└ So humiliating ㅜ Begging for their lives with their bellies exposed, abandoning all pride ㅜ
└ Pride doesn’t stop lawsuits…
– Should I write one now? This sucks.
└ Didn’t you watch the broadcast properly? lol She said she’d accept them until the broadcast ended, it’s over, man lol
└ But is she really forgiving everyone who writes one? The notice says legal action is underway… Did Leah lie?
└ She should be clear; this isn’t something to joke about.
└ Lol it’s fun watching the bugs squirm.

• I admit Leah was wrongly accused. But indiscriminate lawsuits are a bit much.

• There was also the recent chat suppression… Her image could be ruined.
  └ If you’re still talking about her image being ruined, you need a brain scan lol
  └ The public has already turned their backs lol (Please give her another chance)

Title: Today’s broadcast was a performance that will go down in internet broadcasting history.

Content: Leah being ElfChoeun wasn’t just a topic here.

Could she have reached 30,000 viewers just from Pazijik Gallery links? Because her channel is huge and the topic was sensational, communities everywhere were watching closely.

But? She brazenly started her broadcast at the regular time. Many people must have been taken aback lol

She could have taken a break until the interest died down, but she declared she would face it head-on, live.

This is an extremely risky choice because live broadcasts have many unexpected situations, and it’s hard to control viewers’ reactions… If her mentality breaks and she makes a mistake, she’s only giving them more ammunition.

Of course, the reward is as great as the risk. If successful, she could turn public opinion around and make a huge impact.

And Leah pulled it off.

In front of 30,000 people, from start to finish, consistent volume, clear pronunciation, and no emotional fluctuations.

Wouldn’t anyone think, “Could someone with something to hide act like this?”

Of course, if it was only about her attitude, it could have felt like a bluff, or she might have been called arrogant or obnoxious, but

She prepared decisive evidence and revealed it at the crucial moment.

Those who followed the broadcast had a dopamine rush. Game over.

Then she even played the game, showing what it means to be a partner streamer, and finished strong.

I’ve watched internet broadcasts for a long time, but I’ve never seen anyone resolve a controversy with this kind of performance.

I said the reward is as great as the risk, right?

Yeah, I think she gained a foundation for even bigger growth.

Comments:

• True, but it’s a bit… that this is on Pazijik Gallery.

• The change in attitude is a bit disgusting.
  └ Seriously, I sent several PDFs from here.
  └ Things normalized because the conspiracy theorists hid lol
  └ There must be some neutral people who changed their minds after watching the broadcast.

– It was refreshing that she didn’t act submissively while clarifying the controversy.
└ Isn’t it because she didn’t do anything wrong?
└ With 30,000 people spamming the chat, most people couldn’t handle it… It’s amazing that she could be so composed even if she was confident.
└ There’s also the fact that usually, even being involved in a controversy is seen as a problem, so it’s common to be submissive.
└ How confident must she have been…
└ It was a well-planned strategy. It was possible because she had the weapon of Cradle’s announcement.

• When she was talking about the apology letters, I thought she was crazy.
  └ “Surrender now, and I’ll spare you.”
  └ Sounds like something a conquering general would say…
  └ “Top of Korean hip-hop.”
  └ If she pulled off this performance freestyle throughout the whole broadcast, you have to admit it lol
  └ It seemed like she prepared in advance, so it wasn’t freestyle, was it?
  └ Freestyle originally includes both pure and written.
  └ The reason she’s the top of Korean hip-hop isn’t her skills but her spirit. Not backing down even when bullets are flying and saying what she wants while maintaining her attitude. That’s hip-hop.
  └ Damn.
  └ Are you some kind of critic?

• Can she grow even more? She’s already huge.
  └ She might become the #1 streamer on Pazijik, not just among Vtubers.
  └ The world is turning upside down… A Vtuber, relying on her avatar, aiming for #1 on Pazijik.
  └ Still not accepting it? You’re the one upside down lol
  └ This time, the publicity was just too perfect. Today’s broadcast will be the talk of all internet broadcasting communities for a while.
  └ FYI: Pazijik Gallery gave her the publicity opportunity lol
  └ Those who stirred up the controversy will be furious to know they made Leah even bigger.
  └ They should be worried about themselves lol They don’t know when the lawsuit will hit.
