Even after Minho returned to Korea, overseas communities were still buzzing about him.
In reality, not that much time had passed, and the story of an Asian young man who rescued a kidnapped white woman was not something that could be easily quenched.
-Hey guys, did you see that video that was posted on YouTube this time?
-Of course I saw it. It was more fun than the recently released action movies.
-I didn’t watch the video because I went down, damn it…
-(Link) If you go here, it’s still up.
-Damn, it’s full of disgusting videos other than what I was looking for.
-Because it’s that kind of site.
-So what is the guy’s name?
-It’s an influencer named Minho.
The rescue video, which was taken down from YouTube, was secretly shared on a site full of various gore and accident videos. Although there were no actual scenes of people dying, it was censored on ordinary social networks due to the vivid sense of realism filmed with the sound of gunfire.
In fact, in Korea, there was a feeling that the issue was somewhat buried. As soon as the incident ended, YouTube suspended the channel and deleted the video, so excluding those who were actually watching the video at the time of the live broadcast, the number of people who witnessed the incident was surprisingly small.
Also, when Minho used Maria as the manager of the broadcast, he completely prevented her from mentioning anything like that. This is why I was wary of such an image becoming fixed, even though I was already unintentionally involved in various incidents and accidents in real life.
Thanks to this, news and articles were published, but the reaction from frog-like Korean netizens was mixed.
-It’s a masterpiece. What kind of world is it these days, kidnappings and shootouts? Don’t feed low-level aggro
-Viral is not recommended
These stories are so absurd that they dismiss them as false rumors.
-Jujak is a bitch lol
-These bastards can’t see it live? I lost half my life
-Since that day, Western kids have flocked in and their weight has increased several times, but they pretend not to know that.
-I have to remain Najax…
Alternatively, viewers were divided into those who were curious enough to find information floating around on the Internet or those who watched the live broadcast.
Korea has good security, and ordinary people, unless they are in the military, will never see a gun until they die, so it was not something that could not be understood. It could be seen as a kind of cognitive dissonance.
So, in a way, Minho’s popularity was surprisingly higher overseas. It’s not a particularly strange result. Western culture still has a characteristic of being enthusiastic about heroes, and also has a somewhat mysterious look on things that are difficult to understand and are connected to the East.
Of course, the level of awareness in Korea was not negligible. This means that the absolute number is high due to the difference in population.
It was clear that even if Minho turned on the broadcast at any time, thousands of people would come to watch the broadcast in an instant. Only for purely Korean viewers.
So, it was only natural that advertisements would come to him, who could now be called a large company.
***
‘What advertisement came in?’
-This is a game advertisement. It’s a shooting game with a science fiction background. This is a new game developed by a famous foreign company.
‘It’s a game advertisement… ‘
After listening to Maria’s explanation, the company that put the advertisement in was a famous global company that I was familiar with. When people ask people to rank game companies, they are a fundamental game company that is counted on one hand because it releases games that are forgettable and win GOTY awards.
‘They gave me an ad there?’
-yes. It seems like the interest they have in the owner is quite big.
‘okay?’
Maria shared with me what she had researched using the equipment in the basement.
The first time my name became known overseas was when I was in a duo with Korean-American streamer Cade when I was suspected of being a hacker.
Cade was a streamer specializing in FPS games and had established himself as a broadcaster in the West, winning related game awards overseas. Since I worked as a duo with someone like that on a nuclear explanation broadcast and slaughtered nuclear weapons, it was natural that people would pay attention to me as well. In fact, when I visited the US military base afterwards, didn’t the young American soldier pretend to know me?
When I, who was known abroad as a game streamer, suddenly became an issue with keywords such as kidnapping and rescue, the company ran an advertisement targeting my fame.
That was Maria’s analysis.
‘Still, it’s a bit surprising that the first advertisement is a game.’
To be honest, I thought my broadcasting position was a bit vague.
Although he debuted through a game, he also filmed a lot of IRL content. Just recently, he appeared on a travel entertainment show. It was at that time that I went to Saipan and did street magic.
Before joining Namhira, I broadcasted about half games and half daily life.
‘No, wait… Didn’t you start a survival competition program before it started broadcasting in the first place?’
It was a decision I made because it was boring to just start broadcasting and I was itching to use my increased abilities at the time.
If you think about it calmly, it’s actually a bit ambiguous to call it a game streamer. I guess you could say it’s just a broadcast where I do what I want to do at the time.
And now my interest was turning towards the advertisement that Maria had mentioned.
What if you’re not a professional game streamer? As long as it’s fun, that’s enough. For trivial matters such as customer base, the advertiser would have already thought about it and made a proposal.
So all I have to do is enjoy it as much as I can.
‘So what kind of game is it?’
-The name of the game is Star Capital.
‘Oh, that game?’
I have also heard of Star Capital. It is a masterpiece science fiction game that has been in development for several years. Most game streamers would have been waiting for that game to come out.
It was a game that was so heavily promoted before its release that anyone with even the slightest interest in games could not have known about it.
It looks like it was finally released while I was busy with other things.
When I flicked my finger in the air, Maria quickly organized information about the game and floated it in the air.
From trailers uploaded by game companies to videos of YouTubers who have already uploaded their gameplay.
I looked through it slowly and gave my impressions.
‘I guess it’s more fun than I thought?’
The basic game format is a third-person shooting game.
A game where you go down to a planet with a specific mission, kill the enemies that come in, and complete the main mission. Gamers’ desire for growth was also satisfied through a system of repeating the process and collecting rewards to upgrade spaceships and equipment.
Although it was a science fiction game, it delved into the background setting and was a slightly different type of science fiction than New Kind with Masked Maria.
While New Kind focused on Android, this game mainly dealt with space advancement and biotechnology.
The background of the game is a world where space travel is more active than Koreans going to Jeju Island. It was a society where the population grew explosively due to the limitations of space, which were virtually eliminated with the advancement of medical technology and advancement into space.
Naturally, humanity’s interest turned to space exploration to find more resources, and humanity’s greedy expansion of its territory led to conflict with alien life forms.
bug.
Although the official race name exists separately in the setting, most NPCs refer to them by the derogatory term bug.
That was because their appearance resembled bugs on Earth magnified thousands or tens of thousands of times.
Bugs did not have advanced intelligence or a high society like humans, but they had bodies with superior performance and a hierarchy.
They, too, have steadily expanded their space in space, although not as much as humans, thanks to their enormous reproductive capacity and the performance of special bugs that serve as transport ships that can travel between space.
This is how the war with the bug race broke out.
Humanity was able to protect its territory only after repeatedly making retreats and making considerable sacrifices.
After the front line was stabilized, humanity mass-produced clones based on advanced biotechnology and medicine. And those clones were put on a probe and made to risk their lives to explore resources on behalf of humans.
Enter the bug’s territory, complete missions, and loot resources. That was the gamer’s role in controlling the playable character clone.
‘That’s an interesting setting. Maria, am I the only one who received this advertisement?’
-no. As if the game company had made a plan, they sent advertisement inquiries to quite a few broadcasters.
‘Give me a list of other broadcasters who received advertising. A game like this is only fun when played with multiple people.’
As I looked at the list Maria showed me, I found a familiar name. He pointed to the name and said it to Maria.
‘Maria, call Sarah. Let’s join together for the first time in a while.’
