I Want to Be a VTuber Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Official advertising video that appeared on the drama teaser site.

The response to the one-minute video was much warmer than Seoyeon expected.

Su-ah was talking loudly all night long.

“My daughter came out so pretty!”

“I see.”

“right? “There won’t be a fuss at the school performance tomorrow.”

Is that so?

Seoyeon blinked her eyes as she watched the drama advertisement video on her computer screen.

The timing of the video being released the day before the school arts festival was truly surprising but it was hard to guess how influential the teaser video would be.

“Don’t put too much pressure on the kid. Did you see the news? “The reason child actors don’t work for long.”

In response to his wife’s fuss Youngbin Joo pointed out in a low voice.

This was because she was worried that the child would feel a burden for no reason.

“I know that but… Seoyeon secretly likes things like this.”

“…i like you?”

“yes. “She secretly likes to be helped by others.”

Su-ah whispered back in her small voice.

It was hard to tell the difference before but after working as an actor my daughter expressed her emotions more clearly than before.

She was sitting at the computer desk moving the mouse with an expressionless and calm face watching the video just like before.

But if you look closely you can see that she only plays the parts she appears in.

“…right?”

“note. But there are also malicious comments…”

The moment she said that she must have seen something and her daughter started acting strangely by herself.

She either shoots at the monitor or blows hearts….

“What is that?”

“That’s what happens when you see good comments. “In his own words it’s reaction practice.”

“What kind of reaction is this?”

“I don’t know that either. “When times are tough you have to work hard…”

“What is Hako again?”

Joo Young-bin quietly watched her daughter with her gaze.

If you look closely you can see that she has flushed cheeks and a strangely moving body unlike her expression just as Su-ah said.

‘You sure look in a good mood.’

She’s sure to get some malicious comments but she doesn’t seem to care at all.

She said ‘I don’t have to worry about it at the school festival tomorrow.’

Youngbin Joo nodded her head.

As a child actress the time she can work is limited anyway.

Especially since she was a child actor who had some huge hits.

She said ‘Of course if I find work I can still do it.’

She intends to help Youngbin do as much as Seoyeon wants.

That’s her father’s role.

And Seoyeon seemed to have answered this in her own way.

Arongdarong Kindergarten’s school art festival.

Since she was the largest kindergarten in the area the school festival was also large.

First of all not only was it held in a rented auditorium rather than a kindergarten but the number of parents in attendance was quite crowded as the number of children in the kindergarten exceeded 300.

“You know? “There’s that kid in the Sunbeam class here.”

“Ah Princess Yeonhwa… what was her name?”

“If you’re talking about the child actress’s name she was probably Seo-yeon Joo Seo-yeon. “My daughter is in the same class.”

That was generally the topic of the mothers talking in groups about their husbands standing there awkwardly. Her parents want the best for their son and daughter so the topic of her child who stands out most is bound to be mentioned.

“She’s really good at acting like a kid. “If she sees it she might want to get an autograph.”

“It could be because it’s an advertisement. No well… I’m not specifically slandering her but all child actors are similar.”

“Right. I heard that today’s Sunbeam Class is a play…”

I heard there are two child actors in Haetnim’s class.

I thought that if one of them was the child role that KMB featured on TV this time it was obvious that she would monopolize the attention at this year’s school concert.

In fact there were people who waited impatiently for Seoyeon to appear.

“I heard that the play is Snow White and that she is playing the role of a mirror? “She gave up the role to me.”

“Oh really?”

I was half relieved and half disappointed when I heard that it was a mirror station.

Anyway for one reason or another Seoyeon was currently attracting attention in many ways at the school arts festival.

Well wasn’t that teaser released just yesterday?

This rumor which had been widely spread throughout the world became a topic that parents who participated in this school festival would talk about at least once.

“Honey why don’t you join in and talk for a bit?”

When Joo Young-bin who had been listening to the parents’ conversation from a distance said that to his wife Su-ah slowly shook her head.

“The last time I participated in a women’s club I noticed how much I noticed.”

“Is that so? “Keuhum!”

At first glance Youngbin had heard the truth about him.

Rather than saying she really noticed she just noticed it.

Looking at her wife she thought it was inevitable.

She said ‘I hope Seoyeon will be okay.’

Of course Su-ah who had no idea what Yeong-bin was thinking just looked inside her auditorium worried about her daughter.

By now she would have finalized her preparations and be ready to go out according to the order.

Even though it is a mirror…

No because she was a mirror there was something strangely more worrying about her.

Sometimes my daughter who was wayward had a tendency to exert too much force in strange places.

“Joo Seo-yeon.”

“why.”

“I’ll show you properly today.”

What does it really show?

I glanced at Jiyeon. It was a princess dress with an impressive combination of gorgeous colors.

Strangely enough it is an outfit that suits another princess rather than Snow White.

“But you don’t have to put on makeup?”

“All I have to do is stand behind the board.”

What kind of disguise can a mirror have?

All you have to do is stand behind a board made of thick paper and a mirror decorated with silver foil and speak.

In a way it’s Joo Seo-yeon. This will be her first vertuber debut.

‘The kids were definitely all nervous.’

While some kids smiled brightly others seemed nervous.

In particular the child who seemed the most nervous was the boy playing the prince.

The role of a prince that has a strangely significant yet empty role.

As a result boys avoided him so he had no choice but to take charge of this child.

“I’m hungry… Ugh.”

He was even so nervous that his complexion didn’t look good.

Is that okay?

But I understood.

Look at the number of people filling the auditorium right now.

‘The kindergarten arts festival is much bigger than I expected.’

She had vaguely expected it.

She predicted that the number of children in the kindergarten would be significant at over 300 but she had no idea it would feel like this.

Kindergarten school performances are not something to be taken lightly.

Above all since almost all parents participated it seemed that interest was higher than that of middle and high schools in some sense.

“I heard that only my class and Sprout class are involved in the play.”

“What is it over there?”

“King Lear.”

It was an unexpected title for the play.

No it’s a play that kids can do right?

Aren’t Snow White and King Lear quite different in age?

Anyway there are a total of ten classes at Arongdarong Kindergarten.

Among them Kkotnim’s class was ranked fifth exactly in the middle.

Let’s wait like that for a while.

“Guys it’s almost time to leave. Get ready! Everyone practiced hard so it’s okay to make mistakes! Go for it!!”

When Minah the Sunbeam class teacher said that the children came! She did and she answered loudly.

The stage before us was a mix of light dance and singing.

Although it is short it should be said that it is a good composition to show the cuteness of the children.

“Seo-yeon tell me when you move the boards. “The teacher will help you.”

“No it’s okay.”

As the mirror I had to carry this paper board.

It may be heavy for the kids’ strength but for me it’s literally just a cardboard board.

You can also lift an iron plate of the same size but it’s about the size of paper.

As I walked around holding it Teacher Minah’s eyes turned round.

“Seo Seoyeon is really strong. “Is it because you’re an actor?”

I don’t think that has anything to do with the actor.

But I had no other excuses so I just nodded.

“Anyway let’s go Sunbeam Class!”

Eventually the play began with teacher Minah cheering.

It wasn’t too much of a burden for me who was hiding behind the board but the eyes of the parents sitting in the seats in the auditorium were all focused on the stage.

‘This… is different from filming a drama.’

This is delicious in its own way.

Should we try something like a children’s musical in the future?

However if you want to do a musical you have to learn to sing… Also being a virtuber also requires singing so I thought it would be a good idea to think about it later.

“It’s this class.”

“Ah the play the child participated in?”

There was no need to say who it meant.

The name that is most talked about among mothers today.

Joo Seo-yeon who plays the role of Princess Yeonhwa received attention when the teaser for ‘Taesumdal’ was released yesterday.

“I heard it’s a mirror station.”

“It’s a shame. “I wanted to see how good she was at acting.”

I was curious whether she would be as good at acting as I saw in her teaser.

At the same time there were many who understood that having a child who was a real ‘actor’ could be a burden to other children.

The Kkotnim class’s play started with such interest.

The lights turned off small lights illuminated the stage and the play began.

“Mirror mirror who is the prettiest in this world?”

Unlike a children’s play the background music was played softly giving the atmosphere a very realistic feel.

It was also clear that the child who played the queen had practiced a lot for this play.

She originally competed with Lee Ji-yeon for the role of the princess but unfortunately she was pushed out and she was the child who ended up playing the queen.

The mirror also responded to the queen’s passionate performance with a performance worthy of her.

“Oh of course you are the beautiful queen.”

It was a strangely neutral voice.

The parents who heard that voice were momentarily shocked and agitated.

“After all he is an actor. “Isn’t there something different?”

“It’s called vocalization… right? this? “It definitely feels different.”

In the midst of her parents Su-ah also opened her eyes wide.

“Last time he wanted to attend a voice actor academy. I guess this is what I was practicing on my own.”

Unlike acting this vocal part is something Seoyeon has been doing since she was younger.

If acting is the product of pure talent should we say that voice is the result of long practice?

Thanks to this even in the drama Seoyeon’s voice was clear and distinct from that of a child.

The parents who had been watching the play laughing as it was a children’s play gradually became immersed in the play.
