I returned home after finishing work.
Exhausted, I entered the living room and saw Ye-eun sitting at the dining table, eating ramen.
Seeing me, she snapped her fingers as if it was perfect timing, and launched a wide-area provocation.
“Hey, you girl. Water.”
“Haha, our Ye-eun can make jokes now.”
“I’m not joking.”
If it’s not a joke, then what is it?
What else could it be but crazy?
She’s the world’s best at teasing her brother, so reacting any further would be like throwing bait.
The wisest way to deal with terrorists is to unconditionally accept their demands.
I decided to obediently fulfill her request.
I poured water into a cup and handed it to her, and she gulped it down as if she was very thirsty.
After finishing it in one cool shot, Ye-eun added with a happy tone.
“Phew! As expected, water tastes sweet when a pretty lady serves it.”
“Where did you learn that way of speaking?”
“From a drama.”
“They say that in a drama? What’s the title?”
“Why is the maid like this?”
“Hmm. I can’t even guess what it’s about.”
If Heungseon Daewongun, who is in the underworld, knew this, he would probably shed tears of resentment.
He would be furious, asking where the spirit of the Cheokhwabi went.
I don’t know how a 100% impure work is being broadcast on children’s TV programs with such lines and titles.
Hey? PDs, are you not checking the dramas properly?
What are the growing children supposed to learn?
Our child has already been hit directly by the subculture beam.
She’s completely ruined, beyond any help.
“By the way, did you fight with the ramen?”
The dining table was a complete mess.
Ramen broth scattered everywhere.
Ramen noodles lying in a terrible posture.
And even unidentified chunks, presumably kimchi, scattered here and there.
When I asked, seeing the terrible state that made me wonder if a war had broken out, she replied.
“This maiden has brought the head of the enemy general!”
“That’s very commendable, little sister.”
General Ye-eun proudly announced her victory.
Thankfully, she won.
What would you have done if you had lost?
I couldn’t help but wonder how fierce the duel with the Ramen General was to make it this messy.
With a short sigh, I pulled out a tissue.
I wiped away the remnants of the fallen Ramen Kingdom one by one, and then wiped the broth stains around the lips of our hero, General Ye-eun, who led the dining table war to victory.
Ye-eun, whose lips were clean, nodded satisfactorily.
“Hmm, you’re quite a capable young lady. Would you like to work as a maid in my house? I’ll pay you generously.”
“Seriously, when is this role-playing going to end?”
Surprisingly, the Ye-eun drama was a 24/7, year-round broadcast.
I might have played along normally, but I was exhausted now.
Before she got more revved up, I quickly grabbed the brakes.
“Ye-eun, your brother is tired today, so stop talking nonsense and go watch your drama.”
With those words, I collapsed onto the clean dining table.
Seeing me melt like a drooping clock in a famous painting, she looked puzzled.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“Yeah, it did. A lot…”
From countless requests for my number, to a blood-boiling battle with a troublemaker, it was hard to tell if it was a PC cafe or a club.
After I told her about what happened at the PC cafe, Ye-eun exclaimed in admiration.
“Oh~ Prince Charming on a white horse~”
“I don’t know about the white horse, but his mounting position was insane. That guy definitely learned martial arts somewhere.”
Even I was surprised by how quickly he subdued the troublemaker.
If he had continued to act territorial, I would have eventually clashed with him, given my personality.
Wow, that would have been a real disaster.
His territorial behavior was justified.
Time passed quickly.
I worked part-time during the day, and went grocery shopping for dinner in the evening.
As I was living in my sister’s house, I took care of the housework and cooking, and before I knew it, the weekend came again.
Humans are creatures of adaptation.
It didn’t take long to get used to my changed body.
At first, I thought I would quickly turn back into a man, but after a week, I was half resigned.
I decided to quit my part-time job at the end of this month.
I couldn’t continue working as a substitute forever, and finding a new job was problematic because Han Hyo-jeong was a fabricated identity that didn’t exist in reality, so there was no way to verify my identity.
“Ah, so I’ve become someone who can’t even do a part-time job freely.”
I was the hopeless freeloading brother living off my younger sister, the kind you only see in online communities.
Past me, who thought all those who loafed around at home were pathetic, I apologize.
Turns out, they all have their own hardships.
Anyway, for that reason, weekends were a time of blankness, doing nothing.
Today, as always, I was rolling around on the floor watching TV.
As I was laughing at a famous variety show, my sister, unable to bear it any longer, finally declared a special measure.
“Why don’t you try broadcasting if you’re bored?”
“Huh?”
I was about to question her sudden suggestion.
“Broadcasting? You mean internet broadcasting?”
“Yeah. I think you’d do well.”
“Nah, me?”
I scoffed and replied, but she shook her head.
“No, you have plenty of potential. With that face, you’d get tons of donations just by smiling a little.”
“Ye-eun, although I said I’d do anything for you, do you really want to see your brother flirting in front of a bunch of guys?”
“Wow, that would be so much fun.”
“Shut up! You wicked girl!”
How did I raise you, sob!
How could you do this to me, boo-hoo!
They say raising kids is useless, and it’s exactly like that.
Is this how my father felt when he retired and had no income?
The way she discards me when I’m no longer useful is quite something.
“You’re quitting your part-time job, right? You’ll have nothing to do at home anyway, so why not try it as a hobby?”
She casually threw out the “unemployed bum” remark.
Since it came from a sister who earns a fortune, the impact was doubled.
“No, even so. Me, broadcasting…?”
Besides, I thought you needed all sorts of equipment like microphones and cameras to broadcast.
When I expressed my opinion that it was too expensive to do as a hobby, she replied.
“I’ll lend you mine.”
She said she still had the equipment she used when she first started broadcasting.
She kept it because it was too good to throw away.
She said she’d lend it to me for free, as it was quite good.
“I think you’d be perfect as a female streamer.”
I felt my disbelief leave my body and ascend to the heavens.
“Ye-eun, is that thing on your neck just for decoration? How can I be a female streamer?”
I don’t know how she got into a prestigious university with that level of vocabulary.
It didn’t make sense unless she committed some kind of admission fraud that I didn’t know about.
As I was clicking my tongue at my sister’s incomprehensible thought process, she suddenly ran off to get the equipment.
When she returned, she was carrying a lot of things, and since she was struggling to carry them alone, I couldn’t help but help.
We brought the equipment into my old room and started connecting it, and before I knew it, a decent broadcasting environment was created.
I hadn’t even expressed my intention to do it yet, but things were progressing at lightning speed.
“It’s usually good to do your first broadcast live. It’s hard to upload directly to YouTube because the content is weak and video editing is difficult. It’s better to build a foundation with live broadcasts and then combine it with YouTube later.”
Instructor Ye-seon, who had finished setting up, immediately started her introduction to broadcasting theory.
“There are three main broadcasting platforms. YouTube, LemonTV, and Iris.
YouTube is usually for uploading edited videos, so it’s a bit different. Generally, LemonTV and Iris are the two major live broadcasting platforms.”
LemonTV?
Iris?
“What’s the difference?”
“LemonTV focuses on broadcasts that communicate with viewers. On the other hand, Iris has a lot of game-related content.
Pro gamers and people who do game tournaments are on Iris, and so-called female and male streamers are mostly on LemonTV.
Of course, LemonTV does game content, and Iris does communication, but they focus on different things.”
I get it.
It’s not like a gimbap restaurant doesn’t sell tteokbokki, or a tteokbokki restaurant doesn’t sell gimbap.
But just as you go to a gimbap restaurant when you want gimbap and a tteokbokki restaurant when you want tteokbokki, viewers were also gathered according to their preferred genres.
“In the internet broadcasting world, viewers are everything. The broadcast can proceed smoothly with viewers, and you can earn money from viewer donations. So, securing a stable audience is the most important thing.”
This girl, is she really a broadcaster?
Her smooth talking is no joke.
I was already captivated by her words.
“But it’s hard to do that when you first start broadcasting. Who’s going to watch a complete newbie? There are people who search for small-time streamers, but that’s a very small minority.”
“Then what do I do?”
“Bring them in.”
Han Ye-eun smiled like a little detective who had caught the culprit.
“That’s why the first live broadcast is all about attracting attention.”
She also mentioned that there are management agencies that specialize in this these days, but Ye-eun didn’t seem to know much about that.
Anyway, I roughly understood.
Show an impact in the first broadcast.
Whether it succeeds or fails, make a strong impression on the viewers.
It was indeed a valid point.
Good-looking rice cakes sell well.
You buy a beautiful songpyeon because of its appearance, but then, what do you know? The filling isn’t sesame, but beans.
Even if an angry customer comes to complain, there’s only one answer you can give.
“Simple change of mind is not refundable, sir.”
The mindset that selling is all that matters.
This is completely shady. It’s no different from phone sellers, car sellers, insurance sellers, and you could even add songpyeon sellers to the list, but it’s a common occurrence in the broadcasting world.
Some might criticize such “who cares” service, but broadcasting itself doesn’t cost money. If the bean-filled songpyeon the broadcaster offers tastes bad, you can just spit it out and leave.
It’s easier to think of it as a kind of tasting corner.
Try it, and if you like it, buy it; if not, don’t.
“Of course, it’ll be hard to get popular right away. Even I didn’t have 100 viewers for a while after I started broadcasting.”
“Little sister.”
I solemnly replied to her attempt to scare me.
“I’m a genius, so I don’t know about that.”
The moment a man draws his sword, he will cut not the void, but the chopping board.
You can only achieve greatness in anything with that mindset.
Do you know how Samsong, Korea’s top company, grew?
They kicked out the good ones and sent away the bad ones.
Samsong, a giant, grew by absorbing all those famous businesses.
If you’ve decided to broadcast, it’s only right to consider everyone, from small-time streamers to big corporations, as competitors to surpass.
“…Honestly, I admit it. With your face, viewers would line up just to see you turn on the camera and stay still.”
I shrugged at my sister’s rare compliment.
The words of a 300,000-subscriber YouTuber were as good as guaranteed.
In other words, I could consider myself a 300,000-subscriber YouTuber.
I pictured myself leaning against a high-rise palace rooftop, sipping wine.
“People look like ants.”
I’d mutter that while looking down at the cityscape.
“Ugh, amazing.”
My sister’s flattery made my negative perception of broadcasting fade, and I started to think, “Hmm? Is it really worth trying?”
“Let’s try it and quit if it’s not good. It’s just a hobby anyway.”
“That’s true.”
“Who knows? You might have a huge talent for broadcasting? I didn’t know I’d end up broadcasting.”
My sister’s confident words made the dark future suddenly feel like a red carpet.
“It’s not wrong.”
With a ban on part-time jobs for workaholic Han Jung-ho, there weren’t many odd jobs I could find right away.
Like Ye-eun said, it would only be broadcasting at most.
Whether I create a new identity or do something else, it will take time, so I decided to try it at least for that period.
Han Ye-eun, 22 years old.
Beauty YouTuber and comedy YouTuber.
Her characteristic is her quick tongue.
It was the moment that snake-like tongue finally lured an innocent lamb.
