by admin4-member girl group, Clive.
Gathered around at the leader’s call, the members blinked at the screen. A completely unexpected event had unfolded, and they seemed to find it quite amusing.
“Seriously? That’s really Yang Ha-rin.”
[Sumiho KR OFFICIAL]
[Sumiho Cover] That song that topped Billboard for 52 weeks! Covering ‘pattern of you’ with Yang Ha-rin
The response to the video itself was excellent.
The views and comments were rising sharply.
The members first listened quietly to the song in the video.
“Sumiho? This VTuber is a good singer.”
“Right? But it’s probably just a case of a good voice. If she had this tone and a pretty face, she’d already be a singer. Or an idol.”
However.
Their view of Yang Ha-rin wasn’t favorable.
“It’s hilarious. Leaving Clive and doing something like this is all she can manage. After running off to become an actress…”
Yang Ha-rin was a former member of Clive, after all.
Clive and Yang Ha-rin were, to put it bluntly, enemies. They were too different to coexist, a relationship doomed from the start.
“I don’t know why, but seeing Yang Ha-rin’s face just annoys me.”
“Right? Lee Sua completely crushed her in the drama world, which was so satisfying. We didn’t see her for a while after that.”
The members spent some time badmouthing Yang Ha-rin, then…
“Ah.”
The leader reacted as if something had occurred to her.
“Come to think of it, we got a call about something.”
“A call? From who?”
“CT Entertainment. Yang Ha-rin’s former agency.”
The members quietly rolled their eyes, then…
“…Something’s up, isn’t it? Let’s call them back in the afternoon.”
. . . . .
Meanwhile, at Mystic headquarters.
Kim Yi-seo continued with an excited voice.
“Even just singing without showing her face, it’s this big. It’s proof that Sua’s voice is really working. If we release an OST later, it’ll be huge, right?”
Sua thought.
Maybe the CEO’s words weren’t an exaggeration.
The results right in front of her were proof of that.
— Views: 202,000
How long had it been? Already over 200,000 views was the proof. Especially since, unlike the first video, this second video hadn’t even been promoted.
“The first video gave enough confidence, and this second cover definitely met the needs. Good. Sumiho is growing wonderfully.”
Kim Yi-seo said, opening the comment section.
— ??? What’s up with VTuber standards these days?
— I saw it because it was trending, but how can someone sing this well? The English pronunciation is seriously tough lololol
— How did you cast Yang Ha-rin?
— I’m a local living in the US. She seems to have lived here for a while, but her pronunciation is much better than mine….
Sua thought she was having fun.
Because the comment section was exploding with cheers.
— NeoLive unnies are nervous kekeke A super-ultra rookie has joined this time
— It’s a shame she only sings ㅠㅠㅠ If she did a chat stream with that voice, it would be a huge hit
ㄴ I heard Sumiho isn’t feeling well
— Give us the next cover soon!!!!!
— Even the original artist would be impressed;;;
And another thing.
[Yeoncheon Mirror Codex]
[1. Kim Seon-il: Yeoncheon Mirror — Reconciliation]
[2. Seo Yeon-joo: Yeoncheon Mirror — Passionate Love]
[3. Hong Ye-ji: Yeoncheon Mirror — Courage]
Sua stared blankly at the Yeoncheon Mirror Codex.
‘Hmmmm.’
There wasn’t anything particularly significant.
But why did it come to mind?
If she had to guess, it was Yang Ha-rin’s name, but if there was a major crisis like before, an alert would have popped up like before. Like she was going to die soon or something.
But there wasn’t that level of change.
‘Her name isn’t showing up, and what’s happening isn’t showing up either.’
It was almost like there hadn’t been any changes since Ye-ji’s Yeoncheon Mirror.
Still, just in case.
— ♩♪♬
Sua made a call.
“Hello? Yang Ha-rin, what are you up to?”
There was no harm in being cautious.
If there were to be a change in the Yeoncheon Mirror Codex, it was most likely related to Yang Ha-rin. She had put her name up there before. Sua thought so.
“It’s nothing much, just calling to check in. Did you see the Sumiho cover video on MuTube?”
. . . . .
A train that had really picked up speed. That was Sumiho.
‘I never thought I’d feel this way again.’
Sua thought.
She had felt her recognition grow rapidly after the short film ‘Sword’ and ‘Special Mobile Unit 808′. She was feeling that again now through Sumiho.
News of Sumiho spread through various VTuber fan communities, and even to streamers.
The speed at which it was growing was unusual.
【MuTube】
— (Shorts) VTuber standards these days are insane.
— (Shorts) What was the NeoLive unnies’ reaction to seeing the maknae sing? + A little bit of Sika-rin’s song
NeoLive members also reviewed Sumiho’s songs in front of viewers, imprinting them on the viewers’ minds, which led to mentions of Sumiho in the community.
And people who saw Sumiho mentioned in the community naturally flowed into Sumiho’s videos.
Yes, water was flowing in like crazy.
The reasons were different for everyone, but anyway, most of those who had once set foot in Sumiho’s videos had a similar reaction. What’s up with her singing skills? Does she have another job?
The interesting thing was.
— Sumiho definitely has an identity
ㄴ frfr I’m so curious
People weren’t just passing by, but also starting to become more interested in Sumiho’s identity.
◈◈◈◈◈
Meanwhile, at the same time.
While the VTuber Sumiho was growing like a snowball, the talk about Sua was also considerable.
That was the case with writer Park Yu-mi’s ‘High Society’ team, who were in a meeting at a restaurant. Everyone’s faces showed a desperate look, as the script reading was scheduled for a week later.
Writer Park Yu-mi said, picking up a piece of beef.
“Netflix is really pushing ‘Alien Game’ as a flagship work, you know? Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed.”
“I’m jealous. Our ‘High Society’ is really good too, if they pushed it, we could do well….”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. We have to do it with our own strength. By the way, Sua-ssi is definitely coming to the script reading, right?”
“Of course she’s coming. That maid role is so important. I called Mystic several times to confirm.”
“Sua-ssi is going to Japan soon too, right?”
But what was this?
The topic of their conversation naturally shifted from ‘High Society’ to ‘Lee Sua’. Actually, it wasn’t that strange.
These days, Sua is really a rising star in the entertainment industry, and she’s also scheduled to appear in ‘High Society’.
The casting director of High Society said, grilling the meat.
“Yes. It seems like she’s decided to go all the way with Director Yusaku? And even Minami Akiko is her competition.”
“Judging by the direction, it seems to be about the Yakuza…. I don’t know what kind of feel Sua-ssi will have. I’m really curious.”
“What happens if she pulls that off properly too?”
“What do you mean, what happens?”
Writer Park Yu-mi shrugged as if asking what was being asked.
“She’s writing history, literally.”
. . . . .
Sua was getting attention in Japan as well.
However, the most crucial difference between Korea and Japan was the atmosphere. In Korea, Sua has been seen for a relatively long time, so the atmosphere is one of expectation rather than worry, but in Japan, there are many who are slightly wary. Because she’s unfamiliar.
— I was really impressed with MDD 808. But is she really going to challenge Akiko right away? Also, the script was written by a middle school student to begin with.
— I’m still really looking forward to it! I became interested in Lee Sua and looked up her MuTube variety shows, and she seemed like a very charming person in real life too!
— So when is the alexithymia certification?
— In any case, I agree that she’s showing a career path that a rookie can’t show. I think it’s amazing.
— Isn’t this something we can just watch calmly? I don’t think there’s any reason to get too invested. We’ll know if we wait.
Whether they were doubting, cheering, expecting, or wary… in the end, it all came down to one thing. Sua was definitely starting to be imprinted in Japan, and that would soon lead to SNS inflows.

3 days later.
A studio in Seoul.
Sua, Hong Ye-ji, and Kim Young-gon, the director with the Guan Yu beard, sat side by side at a nicely decorated desk. Opposite them, a crowd of reporters with cameras were seated.
[‘Alien Game’ Production Presentation]
Today was the production presentation for ‘Alien Game’.
Flash! Flash!
The reporters muttered, firing off flashes in succession.
“I’m seeing writer Hong Ye-ji for the first time, but she’s got an amazing presence, along with Sua-ssi.”
“Right? Neither of them looks nervous at all. Since two people with intimidating looks are together, the atmosphere is definitely chilly. It’s like a hearing…”
The two people’s true feelings were actually the opposite.
‘There are so many reporters! Aagh, it’s blinding! I’m going to die!’
‘Let’s think peacefully. Let’s think peacefully….’
While the two were desperately calming their minds, the production presentation progressed smoothly. It was able to proceed because Kim Young-gon, with the Guan Yu beard, was a better speaker than expected.
The director stroked his beard and explained fluently.
“Our ‘Alien Game’ has been selected as a flagship work by Netflix, and we feel a sense of responsibility accordingly. As it will be launched overseas as well, we will do our best to make it enjoyable….”
Thanks to him explaining everything, Hong Ye-ji and Sua didn’t have much to say. Just a light announcement of their aspirations?
Sua said.
“This role was also a new challenge for me, a bit different from what I’ve done so far. Please look kindly upon it.”
A line prepared by Yoo Han-sua. How is it? Pretty words, right!
Sua thought so and straightened her shoulders. Sua confident!
That’s how the ritualistic procedure ended.
“Now we will have a question-and-answer session!”
As the moderator shouted, the reporters raised their hands as if they had been waiting. The number was higher than expected.
“There, the reporter with the horn-rimmed glasses!”
The moderator pointed to someone without much thought.
Then, the reporter with the horn-rimmed glasses immediately jumped up from his seat. As if he wanted to ask a question quickly.
“I have a question for Sua-ssi!”
Sua thought. Me?
It was a predicament. She didn’t want to rack her brain! Sua doesn’t like it!
“Sua-ssi, you just said that you’re trying a new role in ‘Alien Game’ that’s different from your previous ones, but what exactly is it? Could you point out a few special points?”
“Uh, um….”
“The title of ‘Alien Game’ is also unique, and the genre is SF, so many people are worried. Because there has never been a time when something like this has been made in Korea and has had a good response. How do you feel about these things too!”
“….”
At the horn-rimmed reporter’s question, the other reporters perked up their ears. Because what they were curious about was similar to that. They only looked at Sua’s lips, waiting for an answer.
Sua thought for a moment and then grabbed the microphone.
“Um, what’s different and special about it is, after all….”
“Yes.”
“…I sing in this work.”
Then the entire space was silent for a moment.
The expressions of the reporters opposite her became blank at once. Everyone stared blankly, then.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
“Singing! Sua-ssi is singing!”
“What kind of song exactly? Sua-ssi!”
A barrage of flashes and questions poured out.
