I Want to Be a VTuber Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Choi Kwang-soo an entertainment producer at online game broadcasting station GMN couldn’t believe his ears for a moment when he heard the call in the morning.

That’s because the entertainment show he is currently in charge of was actually nearing its end.

It’s been a long time since no guests came and lately it’s been mostly about existing members.

It must have been like that.

“yes? Are you a guest on our show?”

For a moment I thought I had heard wrong.

What is it? There may be guests.

But the problem was the object.

Joo Seo-yeon.

An actor who recently became a hot topic in the entertainment show <Looking Back at Past Memories>.

He also put on a play in Daehakro and the tickets were sold out every day or he broke his contract with RY Entertainment.

A hot potato with such rumors going around.

Considering his topicality he was a celebrity who had no reason to participate in this type of cable entertainment.

“But I don’t even know the actor’s face.”

Hwang Jun-ho a cast member of <If You Turn It On Even the King> who happened to be meeting with Choi Kwang-soo in private at that time took a bite of ribs and said.

Producer Choi Kwang-soo laughed at his words.

He and I had been together in the same program for 10 years so we were practically close friends but I was just taken aback when I heard Junho say things like this.

“Ah have you done any spiritual training in the mountains recently? “10 years?”

“10 years have gone by too long.”

“No Joo Seo-yeon became a hot topic 10 years ago. “Don’t you know Taesumdal?”

“I know I know. That’s because I didn’t see it. “I was a senior in high school at the time so I couldn’t watch the drama.”

Yes you can do that if you are a senior in high school.

No wait.

If I had turned it on in the first place when I was a senior in high school I wouldn’t have been able to appear on King.

“I remember Junho must have been over 20 at the time.”

“Oh you have a good memory.”

However it was understandable that I didn’t know the actress Joo Seo-yeon.

I think he appeared in a commercial as well but the only thing he remembers was Tae Sumdal.

In addition he made a big impact in his recent appearance in <Looking Back at Past Memories>.

Park Jeong-woo’s reaction at the time and his dramatic appearance made it seem like reruns were still being shown on cable channels every day.

After that <Looking Back at Past Memories> changed its tone and started using at least one guest and surprisingly the viewership ratings are said to be on the rise.

It literally saved an entertainment show.

“We can do that too.”

“note. yes? “Oh that’s right.”

Hwang Jun-ho was curious as he put a rib bone in his mouth.

Who on earth is this guy to explain things in such a spitting manner?

“Please show me some pictures. “Let’s take a look at your face.”

“It’s not a joke I guess you really didn’t know. Now look.”

“Let’s see…”

It was a recent photo of Joo Seo-yeon that was reflected on PD Choi Kwang-soo’s phone screen.

Princess Yeonhwa dressed up beautifully at Yeonhwa High School.

When Hwang Jun-ho saw that appearance a rib rolled out of his mouth.

“High school student?”

“yes.”

“Wow there aren’t many actors that I actually thought were pretty after seeing their photos but it’s no joke.”

“Right?”

“I can see why it’s popular.”

“Okay okay.”

“So why are you on our show?”

“I don’t know that.”

The two met each other’s gaze.

Just looking at his appearance he was as far removed from the game as heaven and earth.

The hottest among the hottest.

That’s exactly what it feels like. 

Isn’t that the way actors usually have a celebrity vibe?

“Well you’ll know when you meet them.”

“There’s no reason to refuse if you come.”

“Suddenly the smile won’t leave your face.”

“Hmm.”

Well who wouldn’t like a pretty actress coming?

Anyway PD Choi Kwang-soo looked at Seo-yeon’s photo again.

‘Are you sure you’re not trying to make an outrageous request?’

I don’t have any money.

Anyway there was no harm in having a conversation once.

Producer Choi Kwang-soo thought so and sent a reply.

***

This was around the time when such a conversation was going on in <If You Turn It On Even the King>.

Seo-yeon was making her stage greetings after the play <Close Your Eyes> had concluded successfully. 

In plays people usually avoid the first performance but the last performance is often preferred. 

The reason is usually the last performance of the play. 

Because the stage which is commonly referred to as the ‘maximum performance’ was given various privileges.

Ad-libs or stage greetings in a play.

And the actors leave their comments etc.

There were cases where people who wanted to see a performance saw the last performance one more time even if they had already seen the performance once.

“This time thanks to actress Joo Seo-yeon I was very successful. Wow this is the first time I’ve sold out every day while performing in a play. “I will work hard to stand on a stage like this again in the future!”

The actor who played a multi-actor role in <Close Your Eyes> shouted loudly and bowed.

Shim Cheong-seok who played the role of Bae Seong-hak spoke next.

“At first I honestly thought it would be difficult but it was truly the best stage.”

He said that and gave Seoyeon a look for a moment.

“To the point where I want to act together again next time.”

Seoyeon gasped at his words and her face subtly frowned.

“I may not be on stage at that time but I’ll take care of you.”

After Shim Cheong-seok’s stage greeting which was easier than expected it was Seo-yeon’s turn.

Until now it had been a normal stage greeting but when Seoyeon came forward the atmosphere changed a little.

Cheers rang out from the audience.

Although she wasn’t the lead role the person who garnered the most attention in this play was by far Joo Seo-yeon who played Hong Jeong-hee.

“…thank you. “I was able to put on a good performance because there was an audience.”

Seoyeon bowed and said.

And people waited silently for what Seoyeon would say.

But Seoyeon hesitated.

Should I say something more? Such a reaction.

“Ah Seoyeon. “I heard you have a work planned for your next project?”

“yes?”

It was Shim Cheong-seok who quickly spoke after seeing Seoyeon’s reaction.

This is because as much as we’ve been working together we realized that Seo-yeon’s actions meant ‘I’ve said everything I wanted to say.’

Although he spoke with a smile Shim Cheong-seok’s sharp eyes glared at Seo-yeon.

Only then did Seoyeon think that her greeting had been too short so she added quickly.

“Oh yes. I think I’ll be able to see you in a movie next time. “They say it’s being released at the end of this year.”

At the mention of a movie cheers were heard from the audience.

Other than that what kind of role is it?

And we briefly talked about what kind of movie it was.

It was all thanks to Shim Cheong-seok who unintentionally took on the role of MC.

“ah! And I decided to appear on a variety show soon.”

“Entertainment? already?”

Shim Cheong-seok was inwardly surprised.

Although you gained popularity through plays you have already confirmed your appearance in entertainment shows.

‘Is this a hot topic?’

Shim Cheong-seok clicked his tongue inwardly.

While performing this play Shim Cheong-seok also changed his thoughts.

Before if I could put on a play I was satisfied with just a small theater stage but now it was different.

Looking at Seoyeon she wanted to play in a little bigger water.

She wanted to show her acting to more people.

“What kind of entertainment is this?”

An entertainment show that an actress might appear in.

And considering Seoyeon’s recent popularity I thought it was an entertainment show to promote the movie.

The moment when several famous entertainer names appeared in the audience.

“If you turn it on even the king.”

“?”

A completely unexpected piece of entertainment flowed from his mouth.

It was probably no mistake that the concert hall which was filled with cheers became quiet.

and.

School the next day.

“What on earth are you talking about in your stage greeting?”

Jiyeon Lee said while looking at the phone screen.

<Princess Yeonhwa a hot topic appears on ‘If you turn it on you can reach the king’??>

<Why did you participate in ‘If You’re a King’ which is about to end?>

There aren’t many but the articles are properly posted on Naver’s front door.

Seo-yeon was mortified when she saw that.

I just said it because I thought it would be good to tidy up the publicity.

Other actors also do this to this extent.

And if you turn it on what’s wrong with the king?

It’s fun.

I think it’s been about 7 years since I haven’t seen it.

“Anyway I pulled off the aggro properly. “The community is more popular than the article.”

“okay?”

“Well this is better than not being interested.”

As Jiyeon said there was definitely talk in some communities.

Let’s take a quick look.

– Again and again Fashion Gamer Fashion Fuck came out.

– Everything is ruined??? Have you lost all sense of the agency??

– So you know how to play games?

– Since she is a high school girl she seems to be pushing a very friendly concept.

– I’m planning to make the broadcast harsh without being able to understand the atmosphere.

How did Seoyeon feel when she saw that?

‘I need to learn boxing.’

If I meet you I will only hit you once.

My heart was filled with that.

‘Do you know how to play games?’

Of course I was confident in the game.

Didn’t the 100000 TS team prove that to be the case?

It is common knowledge that if you play TS you are good at games.

If you don’t know it memorize it.

So Seoyeon had no doubt that she would do the same.

really.

***

A few days later.

Filming day for <If You Turn It On Even the King>.

I was reminded of the cast members who always prepared for the broadcast with the same face and same posture.

How long has it been since I was a guest?

The male cast members felt lighthearted when they saw Seoyeon’s face in the photo.

There were also two female cast members.

They too seemed to be secretly looking forward to it.

‘You should sit a little further away.’

‘The face is really small. ‘I have to avoid the side.’

If it was turned on there was actually no need to call it a set until the king.

In the meantime there were a lot of cases of filming at the homes of PD Choi Gwang-soo and Hwang Jun-ho.

But for the first time in a few years I was able to film at GMN.

“It seemed like they were secretly looking forward to the <Looking at Past Memories> report.”

“No matter what the air waves….”

Although <Looking Back at Past Memories> had a viewer rating of 3% or 5% it was nothing compared to cable entertainment.

Well anyway it’s a good thing for the cast.

It’s good to take pictures comfortably.

Let’s get properly prepared at the beautiful new filming location set up in GMN.

“They said you’re here.”

“Really? Are you coming now? “So are the cameras running now?”

“The camera has been running for 10 minutes.”

Oh really?

Hwang Jun-ho nodded to the words of Gong Tae-gyun a cast member who had been working together.

“Hmm. Well then we have one guest today! there is. “I’m sure everyone has heard of it.”

Just a little bit really? After such a meaningless response came and went.

Hwang Jun-ho spoke loudly after receiving Producer Choi Gwang-soo’s autograph.

“Today’s guest Princess Yeonhwa returns after 10 years! “This is Miss Joo Seo-yeon!”

At Hwang Jun-ho’s words the eyes of about six cast members all focused on the entrance to the set.

Since they were all celebrities I saw many actors but every time I saw something new there was an actor or idol.

And one step onto the set.

Seoyeon appeared with light steps.

“Uh school uniform?”

It was well known that Seoyeon was an active high school girl.

However she never imagined that she would show up on set wearing a school uniform.

“hello.”

She bowed her back.

Let’s bow down and greet her as if we were remembering the days of young Princess Yeonhwa.

“ah! four! hello!!”

The other cast members also stood up and bowed in unison.

Thanks to this Seo-yeon who had not wanted this could not help but be embarrassed.

“Um… why are you wearing a school uniform?”

Did you come right after school?

When Hwang Jun-ho asked thinking about that Seo-yeon blinked her big eyes and smiled.

“I received sponsorship.”

“Is that so?”

Oh were the school uniforms sponsored?

Since it was a game show with active high school girls and a young audience it seemed like the school uniform brand had sponsored it.

No but don’t school uniform brands usually avoid game broadcasts because of their image?

I had that question but it wasn’t something Hwang Jun-ho had to worry about.

‘No but.’

Hwang Jun-ho swallowed dry saliva.

She has seen many actors over the years but Seo-yeon’s appearance stands out among them.

So much so that she was involuntarily fascinated by it.

In fact the other cast members were now looking at her with their mouths wide open.

‘…Is this okay?’

Wasn’t she on camera now?

While she was thinking about that.

The filming of <If You Turn It On Even the King> began in earnest.
