No, so suddenly like this?
How can we measure a broadcaster’s growth indicators?
What categories can we use to distinguish them?
MCNs had pondered this question extensively.
“Sigh… Just thinking about it briefly, there’s average viewer count, donation amounts, chat speed, room atmosphere, viewer fluctuation trends by content… there are truly countless things to consider.”
They couldn’t find a specific indicator that screamed “This is it!”
There were too many factors to consider,
and honestly, you never know when or where someone might suddenly blow up.
There were too many cases where people who had been Hakko for years suddenly experienced explosive growth starting from a particular content.
Most MCNs, unless an extremely famous case debuted, just relied on their gut feeling.
But naturally, there are always exceptions.
“I will now play a voice message for you.”
Beep.
As the Meeting Facilitator pressed the button.
-“Wow… my chest is just…”
An utterly vulgar sentence dubbed in an extremely masculine voice slowly echoed through the Conference Room.
Just listening to it, the overtly sexual language was so blatant that some people even frowned.
“If someone made such remarks in a public setting… in a place with countless broadcasters… just freely spouted this out, and their broadcast actually grew as a result, would you believe it?”
At the facilitator’s words, everyone in the Conference Room slowly nodded.
Because they knew.
Beep.
When the button was pressed again.
This time Mungi’s face appeared, and that face recited the exact same line.
“Normally, he should have quit broadcasting or moved to another platform… Despite that being the case, he survived simply because he turned on his Camera. You all know the reason, right?”
Because he’s handsome, ridiculously handsome.
Perfect looks that wouldn’t even make you think of feeling inferior, broad shoulders, and well-built muscles.
His appearance was enough to make vulgar remarks seem like minor mistakes.
“In the history of Internet Broadcasting! An unprecedented face has appeared. Have you ever seen a male broadcaster who looks like this? He could easily slap actors and celebrities in the face with his looks.”
The Meeting Facilitator boldly displayed a large full-body shot of Mungi on the Screen.
“Huh…”
“Wow.”
“Even as a man, this is just…”
“Really, with a face like that, why didn’t he turn on his Camera for 3 years? No, I heard there were many times he broadcast without even turning on his Microphone.”
As everyone shared their impressions.
The Meeting Facilitator, satisfied with the reactions, continued speaking.
“If we could just recruit Mr. Mungi… no! Mungi-nim… we could really use him as an incredible Sign at any event. Just putting Mungi-nim’s face on a Poster would draw attention. And when we think about external events… collaborations, things like that… having Mungi-nim there would just completely elevate the atmosphere.”
Wherever they took him, just showing his face alone would inevitably raise the quality of any event.
Advertisements would definitely come in from various directions, and he could easily ignore past remarks and advance into mainstream success.
Mungi’s face had that much potential.
Moreover.
“Mr. Mungi’s chat room activity compared to his follower count and viewer count is insane. Whatever he does, viewers immediately react, which means Mr. Mungi’s broadcast isn’t just something people turn on and do other things… it makes them focus and watch.”
It wasn’t just his face – various elements were trending upward at an incredible rate.
“His Mung-tube subscriber count is also exploding. The comment reactions on his videos are really good too… he’s just an internet broadcaster who has no choice but to grow comprehensively.”
The peak of internet broadcasting is overwhelmingly higher for men than women. But that’s only for a very small number of cases.
Except for the very top tier, the absolute peak, female broadcasts dominate the structure.
The top of the pyramid.
How many male broadcasters could there be up there?
The extreme peak that only male broadcasters can achieve.
“Mr. Mungi… seems like he could aim for that.”
It might have been a somewhat cringeworthy PowerPoint presentation, but everyone in the conference room agreed.
Mungi is different, that appearance is different, there’s incredible growth potential.
This was a thought shared by all MCNs that had internet broadcasters,
including the MCN currently holding this meeting.
And naturally, without any hesitation,
the next morning they sent an email to Mungi’s business email suggesting a meeting.
> Hey Ttaranta
< Yeah?
> I got a business proposal from an MCN, but honestly I want to reject them all. What do you think?
This email.
“…What? No… if anyone’s going to manage you, it should be me, are you crazy…”
Immediately rubbed Ttaranta the wrong way.
++++++
Anyone could honestly see that Mungi’s growth had been happening since he turned on his camera.
A male broadcaster who no one had heard of for 3 years was suddenly creeping up the ranks, and it was visible to everyone.
But.
“That’s completely different from trying to recruit him for management.”
MCN recruitment could really be seen as quite outrageous from Ttaranta’s perspective.
If they were going to recruit him, they should have done it during his Hakko days, and now they’re making recruitment offers?
And instead of showing a contract right away, they want to start with a meeting?
“Outrageous! Just outrageous! They should start with a signing bonus, right? Even sending gifts first wouldn’t be enough, but they’re trying to sweet-talk him?”
Of course, this might be Ttaranta overinterpreting things.
But Ttaranta just didn’t like the idea of starting with a meeting.
Do they think she’s never run a company before?
The dirty trick of meeting in person to sweet-talk and slowly adjust the price in real time.
It was a method Ttaranta absolutely hated.
Well, I attached all these various reasons when I said it, but to be completely honest.
“Even if someone’s going to manage him, it should be me.”
I really didn’t like the idea of other people managing Mungi.
There’s already a manager right here, and they’re even assigning a manager to handle malicious commenter lawsuits.
Business email? If I just asked Mungi for the ID, he’d obviously trust me and give it.
‘He’ll probably say something annoying like ‘Game Teacher, are you trying to explore my deepest parts?’ again…’
But still, no matter how I thought about it, I should be the one managing him.
I know how arrogant it is for one individual to feel possessive toward another and think they should manage them.
But.
‘I’m capable, aren’t I? Even if I can’t manage multiple people… I can just take care of Mungi alone, right?’
This was confidence based on objective facts.
And frankly speaking, from Ttaranta’s perspective, these MCNs felt incredibly shameless.
What exactly do you guys know about Mungi, and how much do you know to be managing him.
‘MCN, you should respect me. I’ve been Mungi’s viewer for 3 years, I’m his top donor, I’m currently his manager, we have a close relationship with various legal matters discussed… Mungi even wears clothes I picked out when he goes out, uses perfume I selected, from head to toe he’s just my… he’s what I’m managing!’
Anyway, trying to claim the good stuff first.
Not a chance.
‘But well, since he said he wants to reject them all, Mungi’s mindset passes for now.’
This is satisfying.
Ttaranta hummed a little tune for a moment.
Then started moving her thumb busily again.
< Of course you should reject them, and right now you don’t need to go anywhere, you’re growing well on your own
> But later when ads and stuff come in, managing that seems like it’ll be tough
> I’m going to reject them but just asked
< I’ll handle that stuff for you, so hand over your business email ID and password
> Gasp, Game Teacher, are you trying to explore my deepest parts?
“Ah… seriously, how does this guy never go outside my expectations?”
Kukook, Mungi who’s within my predicted range.
Thinking that somehow made Ttaranta’s lips curl into an extremely sinister smile.
To the extent that if she saw herself in a mirror, she’d be shocked thinking ‘Do I make expressions like this?’
It was on the level that reminded one of Jjanggu’s younger sister, Jjanga’s smile.
< Whatever ㅡㅡ just skip it
> Okay
> Your forcefulness is insane
Having taken over Mungi’s business email so incredibly quickly, Ttaranta.
“Even if someone’s managing… mm, it should be me… next time maybe I’ll try a hairstyle more to my taste too… mmhm…”
Continuing to mutter to herself, she entered Mung-tube and replayed the video once again.
-“Wow… oppa, ah, no, I called you oppa… but oppa… you’re really so much my ideal type, could you please give me your phone number?”
-“Are you by any chance a model or celebrity? An actor? Is this being filmed? Can, can I be in it?”
-“So you’re Mungi’s owner, the name is cute but you’re so cool, hehe.”
-“But why do you dress so well? Your perfume sense too… this is crazy, really.”
Thud.
After watching it several times, I stopped the video at the part that produced the most satisfying reaction.
“It’s crazy, it doesn’t make sense. From top to bottom and even the scent… I set it all up.”
Behind the man you’re all praising so much and asking for his phone number.
Not knowing I’m there, just smiling brightly, chatting, trying to talk to him.
‘So what? If I text him next time to wear setup number 3 when he goes out, he’ll wear that and go out.’
What should I call this feeling when I see girls flirting with Mungi without knowing anything?
‘A sense of exhilaration… no, superiority? No, no… just… hmm, yeah, a modest and simple happiness?’
I know Mungi’s base looks are really good so he can pull off anything he wears.
I know that, but what makes him even more perfect is because of my, Ttaranta’s, setup.
“Hehe… hehe…”
This fact.
Wiggle wiggle wiggle.
Making me fidget my toes for no reason,
Tap tap.
Drumming on the desk,
Swish swish.
Enough to make me twist my hair around.
“Not even knowing it’s my touch.”
Was bringing joy to Ttaranta.
++++++
> I’ll handle the MCN stuff myself so you focus on broadcasting
> Your upward trend lately is no joke
> Keep doing day streams consistently too
< OK
Right after finishing the MCN-related chat with Ttaranta.
“What’s this, she seems strangely happy… or am I just thinking that?”
With Ttaranta’s reply that seemed oddly upbeat as the end.
I turned on my broadcast right after finishing my shower.
“From now on, it looks like Mungi’s journey will begin in earnest, so I hope everyone will join us.”
– Munha
– MH
– MH
– Yeah Mungi, how nice that you’re starting from 1 PM, perfect timing for my lunch
– Today’s lunch is buchimgae hehe, planning to have salmon rice bowl for dinner~
– Mungi, before Merk starts broadcasting, recommend me lunch for tomorrow
“Lunch? Tomorrow? It’s been a bit chilly lately… how about soft tofu stew? Or ttukbaegi bulgogi.”
– For lunch just go to a restaurant and eat whatever ‘today’s lunch special’ they have
– Agreed
– MC (meaning Mungchu)
– All you Mungbungs who recommended my lunch get Mung Kiss *3*
“Now I’ll turn off all the local broadcasts and enter Merk.”
– Let’s go!
Until I received the MCN email.
So even though I broadcast until quite late into the dawn.
“Growth is pretty intense.”
Actually, the progress itself wasn’t much different from before I got the Hidden Class.
But it was actually unavoidable.
In a server that takes 2 weeks, if all content opens already and updates keep rolling out.
The content depletion speed becomes ridiculously fast.
So the standard was to deliberately slow down progress in certain parts, and instead of doing just one type of content.
It was standard to spend time enjoying various different things.
So I had defeated all currently updated bosses on day 3.
Now I was in a state where I really needed to turn my attention elsewhere.
– Kill the Area 2 boss and yeah
– Right now it feels like you’ve hit the level cap? Growth cap? Something like that
– Weapon enhancement is blocked for now too, right?
– Enchant is also awkward to do right now
– Come to think of it, wasn’t Mumiming building a house continuously yesterday?
“Ah, come to think of it, I asked my daughter to build me a house.”
– You forgot that?
– No, seriously what is this bastard…
– Mungi, your body size is Hakko level but your mindset is beyond Major Corporation level
– Telling a female streamer to build a house then forgetting about it < What the hell is this? Is this a concept?
– If you look like that, do you have absolutely no attachment to women?
“What are you saying, it’s not like that. We were so focused on our adventure yesterday, that’s why.”
– Agreed
– Bus driver and stuff like that are hidden jobs, but as soon as you get them the service ends and you solo raid the Zone 2 boss by yourself ㄷㄷ
– Tetomungi
– God of Solo
– Huh Solo?
– Asura’s Wrath?
– I don’t know such games
So we concluded to first go see the house I had asked Mumiming to build yesterday.
I immediately moved my character to where my house was located.
But.
“What is this.”
– Hahahahahahahahaha
– Hahahahahahahaha
– Love Love House entrance lolololololol
– Really need to play some old-fashioned BGM
– Ta-da-da-da ta~
– Ta-da-da-da~
The first thing that caught my eye was the heart-shaped entrance.
How should I describe this?
You know, like seeing those Heart Structure photo spots at tourist attractions?
Even the whole atmosphere was either white or pink.
“Wait… what’s with the bear doll? Where did the Teddy Bear come from?”
– That’s the thing that comes out of the 50,000 won Special Box
– No no, not 50,000 won, it comes from the 70,000 won Decoration Box
– Oh I see
– That’s what they say
– But it’s too early to be surprised here
“Too early to be surprised? There’s something more surprising than a house with a heart-shaped entrance and a Sign with LOVE blatantly stuck on it?”
– Hahahahahahaha
– You’ve opened your eyes
– Come to the Love Love Honeymoon House
– Don’t you have a house, mister?
– ??? : I do, but I don’t want to go in
I swallowed my shock and moved my character to examine the house from all angles.
Only then did I realize what the viewer had meant.
“Ah… the houses are connected, the house next door… whose house is next door?”
– Mumiming donated 10,000 won. Thank you.
[ Mungi, you’re finally looking this way ]
– Hahahahahahahaha
– Hahahahahahahahaha
A donation message that came in with perfect timing, as if she’d been waiting.
As soon as I saw it, I immediately figured out whose house was connected.
“So the one connected by the Sky Bridge right now… is Mumiming’s house? Ah… thank you for the 10,000 won donation. I’ll give you a reaction Mung Kiss.”
Mwah.
– That’s right
– Yes
– Of course
– Yeah yeah, that’s true, Mumiming’s and your houses are connected
– You only asked us to build you a house, you didn’t say how to build it
– Mung Kiss!!! *3*
– Ugh
– A bachelor who sells his lips for just ten thousand won
Mumiming did this? No, it doesn’t seem like Merk has been played much.
How did she manage to create such a perfect love house?
It was shocking.
– Health Fairy, thank you for the 1,000 won.
[ Around this time, you should stretch once, tilt your head back to fix that turtle neck, pull your shoulders back and straighten your back, right? hehe ]
– Oh lol
– Thanks to Health Fairy, I stretched my body
– My body is making cracking sounds, is this normal?
– Does it seem normal to you? lol
– ㅠㅠ
“Ah, Health Fairy, thank you for the thousand won. I’ll do some stretching too.”
– Wait, can you see Mungi a little?
– Did you bring instant rice?
– This this, I think my child will also become Mungi
– Right away Mungbat Mungbat!
– The gender praise is coming in hard lol Is it because of the love house?
I thought “Is this right?” but it was already too late.
Right or wrong aside, it was over the moment the house was built.
But demolishing this and building another house? That was impossible.
Because.
– Mumiming I studied for 2 hours yesterday watching YouTube to make this, then spent 3 hours building it ㅠㅠ
– You’re not going to throw this away, right?
– Mungi, maintaining the bad boy concept is fine, but this really isn’t it, you know?
Because I knew about Mumiming’s effort.
So.
“…This is really so nice? I’ve always wanted to live in a house like this in Merk… And having this kind of house connected by a Sky Bridge… I’m genuinely happy.”
I completely changed my expression and smiled with a bright face.
Since she had built it with good intentions, it wasn’t polite to just keep being flustered.
Besides, she could have just built something carelessly, but to show this much sincerity.
Even though there was the favor of being invited, this was receiving double that in return.
“Wow… this is really… Mumiming, if you’re watching the broadcast… I’m really so moved by this, so if you ever need to do content or something later, please contact me right away! I’ll rush over immediately!”
So I gave Mumiming the most grateful thanks I could offer.
Exactly about 4 hours after saying this.
“Mungi!”
“Yes, Mumiming.”
“Do you happen to have plans today?”
“Pardon?”
“Ah, today the Female Streamer Crew members decided to hang out casually… The girls keep asking me to invite you… So I remembered that you said to contact you and you’d come running…”
“…?”
I was immediately summoned.
Zing.
Zing.
Zing.
> Hey number 3
> No wait number 5
> No, hmm, go with the 4th setup ㅇㅇ
> Don’t spray Perfume
> Definitely go with Setup Number 4
For some reason, Ttaranta started sending messages frantically.
Wait, so suddenly?
