The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

The guest broadcast with Se-yeon noona set a new record for me and ended in great success.

Not only in <Ground of Battle> but also in <Dark Spirit>, we showed great synergy and created numerous legendary clips.

The concept that Se-yeon noona brought was quite effective.

In <Ground of Battle>, she pushed the Woohyun couple coin with Na-young, and in the <Dark Spirit> that we conducted alone, she continued with a concept of subtly seducing me.

It was a legendary broadcast that even some of the most extreme Evil Gang members who followed me blindly cheered fervently.

Seeing me, who usually acted like a warlord, fall apart brought a fresh shock to the viewers.

Of course, the after-party dinner that followed that day was nothing short of hell.

Na-young, realizing that she had been used as a scapegoat, pestered me throughout the drinking party, and I had to beg for her forgiveness with tears in my eyes.

Anyway!

Not just within the internet broadcasting community, but how should I put it?

Even among the general public.

Thanks to the joint broadcast with Se-yeon noona, entertainment journalists rushed to report on it, and naturally, my story spread to those who didn’t know me.

Stories about the cable TV program <These Days> that Se-yeon noona and I joined also began to surface.

With the first shoot ahead, it was beneficial to build up recognition due to the program’s plot alternating between live and recorded broadcasts.

That’s why the broadcasting company seemed to be extensively using the media.

Fortunately, the general public was quite favorable towards me.

Just looking at the comments on major portal sites showed this.

– I thought he was human trash when I saw him on MeTube, but it was all just a concept…….

– ㅇㅇ From what I hear, he’s really nice in real life?

– My friend got his autograph the other day, and he said the fan service was meticulous.

– I attended his Evil Gang fan meeting, and he’s really an angel, lol. A typical internet warlord.

– Did you see the article saying he donated the entire advertisement fee to a cancer treatment foundation? He must have worked hard to earn that money to save his younger sibling… and he gives it back to society immediately? That’s a person of character.

– The quintessential villain you can’t hate.

If anyone saw it, they might think I hired comment writers, but public opinion was quite favorable towards me.

“By the way, why was the Northeast Asia Streamer Competition postponed?”

“I don’t know. Something seemed to have happened in China. It’s been indefinitely postponed.”

The Northeast Asia Streamer Competition, where I was supposed to face Huh-soo, had been indefinitely postponed.

For me, it was actually a good opportunity to catch my breath.

If I had to perform in the streamer competition with the broadcast shooting right around the corner, I wouldn’t have had any energy left.

Nodding, I lay down on the sofa.

And as I looked at Jin-hyuk, who was watching TV in front of me, I spoke slyly.

“Hey.”

“What’s up, hyung?”

“Why aren’t you playing the ads much these days? Huh? Do you know how hard I worked on those ads… Pay some attention.”

The first ad for <Gaia Online Classic> had been released.

There was no need to mention the reaction.

My name frequently appeared on the real-time search keywords.

The impact of hitting back-to-back with the joint broadcast with Se-yeon noona was exceptional.

I hesitate to say this myself, but I had really become a world-class figure that people jokingly referred to.

The ad for <Gaia Online Classic> was causing a strong ripple effect not only in our country but globally.

“No, hyung. I play the ads twice an hour……”

“Increase it to three times an hour.”

“… The viewers are begging me to stop playing it.”

“Are you betraying hyung after he shot the ad so coolly? Wow, do you know how I saved you?”

“Alright, alright. Please stop.”

Jin-hyuk, shaking his head as if he was fed up, quickly went into his room.

Hmm……

Have I been talking about ads too much lately?

I chuckled as I watched Jin-hyuk’s retreating figure, then lay back down on the sofa.

Today was a day off from broadcasting.

Of course, that didn’t mean I was doing nothing and staying at home.

There was the first official meeting for <These Days>, so it was an accompanied break.

I had already informed the viewers in advance, so I could attend comfortably.

Still, since I had some free time, lying down on the sofa and taking a nap was……

Ding-dong.

……Well, I guess I’m not meant to rest comfortably.

Who could be ringing the bell at lunchtime?

A delivery?

“Who is it?”

Soon, a man’s voice was heard beyond the door, as if it was the most natural thing.

“Chan-sik! It’s your hyung!”

It was Hae-cheol hyung’s voice.

I quickly checked the time and sighed deeply.

No, there were still three hours left until the appointment time……

“Hae-cheol hyung, why are you here so early?”

“Chan-sik, do you want to go to the department store with hyung?”

“Suddenly?”

“You have the first broadcast meeting today, so hyung wants to buy you a set of clothes out of gratitude.”

I had no reason to refuse.

I was just a bit tired.

Hae-cheol hyung, with a friendly smile, put his arm around my shoulder and said.

“The producer’s face has brightened up recently. Oh, by the way, the appearance fee might be adjusted soon?”

“Oh, really?”

Who wouldn’t like to hear about a pay raise?

“Of course. Thanks to you, our program has been well-promoted.”

Hae-cheol hyung, looking at me, smiled contentedly and said.

“Today, you’re not streamer Shia, but entertainer Kim Chan-sik. You should wear something nice. Hyung will treat you.”

He was deliberately exaggerating to make me feel better.

But it didn’t feel bad at all.

Rather, it was relaxing.

In fact, Hae-cheol hyung probably came to pick me up early to ease my tension.

I nodded with a soft smile.

“I’ll get ready quickly. Would you like to come in and wait?”

“Sure.”

“Oh? Hae-cheol hyung! Hello!”

“Oh, Jin-hyuk, you’re here too? Have you eaten? Oh, Jin-hyuk, about the game I’m playing lately…”

Hae-cheol hyung sat comfortably on the sofa, chatting amicably with Jin-hyuk, who had sneaked out of the room.

Watching him, I couldn’t help but smile.

It was another moment that reminded me of how blessed I was with good people around me.

—

Hae-cheol hyung and I went to a department store.

I usually insisted on buying only cheap clothes, but Hae-cheol hyung bought me clothes from brands I had never even heard of.

And they were very expensive ones.

Honestly, it was quite burdensome, but Hae-cheol hyung said he would get mad if I didn’t accept them, so I reluctantly took them.

There was a small incident at the department store.

The manager of a luxury store asked me for an autograph.

“Could I get Shia’s autograph too?”

“Huh? My autograph?”

If it had been a staff member my age, I would have thought they were a viewer of my stream.

But the store manager looked at least over forty.

I couldn’t imagine someone like them watching my stream.

“My son really likes you. He enjoys your broadcasts a lot… So, I looked you up and found out you’re quite a good person. Haha! Sorry for the long story.”

“Ah…”

It was a conversation that made me think a lot.

‘I guess my name is now known even to the older generation.’ I thought.

If I had been an ordinary internet broadcaster, I would never have had such a precious experience.

After that brief incident, I arrived at the broadcasting station for a meeting with Hae-cheol hyung.

VCN.

It was a station created by a large corporation to specialize in VR game programs, and it was also the fastest-growing station recently.

Located in Digital Media City, it took quite a bit of driving to get there.

The first impression of the station was simpler than I expected.

Just a big studio?

That was the impression.

“Why are you so nervous?”

“It’s just fascinating.”

“You’ll have to come here often, so you should get used to it quickly. If you get lost, call me. Got it?”

Hae-cheol hyung grinned and joked, then led me forward.

We passed through security gates that looked like something out of TV, took the elevator up, and soon arrived at an office with a sign that read <Today’s People>.

“Let’s go in.”

“Yes.”

As we entered, the production team who had been waiting greeted us.

“Oh, Mr. Chan-sik. We’ve been expecting you. Was it hard to get here?”

The main producer of <Today’s People>, PD Sung Si-woo, extended his hand with a smile.

I had met PD Sung once before when we signed the appearance contract.

I awkwardly nodded and smiled at his welcome.

“I came in Hae-cheol hyung’s car, so it wasn’t too hard.”

“The other cast members will be arriving soon, so please wait a bit.”

“Si-woo hyung, don’t I count?”

“I’m a bit tired of you.”

“That’s harsh.”

“You need some harsh words.”

Hae-cheol hyung and PD Sung started chatting amicably.

Truly, Hae-cheol hyung was the epitome of a social butterfly in the entertainment world.

As they talked, the cast of <Today’s People> started gathering one by one.

The total number of cast members on <Today’s People> was five.

I was the only streamer, and the rest were all celebrities with considerable recognition.

One actor and three singers.

They were all celebrities who often played games with Hae-cheol hyung, and they were immensely popular.

No matter how quickly my recognition was growing lately, I was still nowhere near their level.

Sitting in a meeting room set up in one corner of the office, I quietly fiddled with my phone.

There wasn’t much to talk about with the production team yet.

How long had I been messing with my phone?

A man entered the meeting room with Hae-cheol hyung.

Then, he looked at me and smiled broadly.

“Oh, oh, oh!”

“Uh, hello?”

“Nice to meet you! Shia. I’m actor Yoo Jun-sik. Ah… I’ve been looking forward to this meeting so much! I always watch your broadcasts. Haha, I’m so glad I joined this program.”

Maybe it was because everyone here was close to Hae-cheol hyung.

Everyone who gathered seemed to have a similar personality.

After shaking hands with me several times, he said with a slightly excited expression.

“If it’s not too much trouble, could we take a picture together and post it on SNS?”

“Of course.”

I felt a bit dazed.

While Yoo Jun-sik was making a fuss and taking pictures with me, the meeting room door burst open with a bang, and a familiar face appeared.

“Hey! Yoo Jun-sik! Get away from Chan-sik right now!”

“What’s with your attitude towards your oppa…”

It was Se-yeon noona.

With her flashy entrance, she pushed Yoo Jun-sik away from my side and wrapped her arm around my shoulder.

“My dear Chan-sik, how have you been? Did you miss noona?”

“Yes… I missed you.”

“Oh my, really? How adorable.”

Why were they all acting like this towards me?

It was the first time I felt so drained just being with people.

As I was getting overwhelmed by Se-yeon noona, the last member finally arrived.

She was a member of a popular idol group and Se-yeon noona’s junior from the same agency.

Han Joo-hyun.

Maybe because she had just finished her military service, I recognized her immediately.

“The youngest is here?”

“Hello!”

“Joo-hyun, how do you get prettier every day?”

She smiled shyly as she entered the meeting room.

Carefully approaching me, Han Joo-hyun greeted me.

“Hello, Shia!”

“Yes.”

“I really enjoy watching the League of Storm videos you upload on AkTube. I love League of Storm!”

“No, it’s me who watched you often while you were in the military, Han Joo-hyun.”

“Oh my, really?”

Yes, at least one person should be this normal.

But that thought quickly crumbled.

Carefully, Joo-hyun brought her mouth close to my ear and whispered in a very small voice.

“Could I perhaps ask you for a favor?”

“Yes, yes. If it’s something I can do…”

When I readily answered, Joo-hyun smiled slightly and finished her sentence.

“Could you swear once during a live stream?”
