Mungi has arrived!

 

The fact that Mungi was going on the dating program 【Love Code】 spread really quickly.

 

Actually, among broadcasters, Mungi’s appearance was already somewhat well-known.

 

“But he’s going on now? Mungi? Feels like he’s going on pretty late.”

 

“As expected of our content destroyer, 0052’s top output… I guess we can call him Mungi now?”

 

“I saw his physical skills during Street Fighter 6, it’s just ridiculous.”

 

The male broadcasters’ reactions were that they somewhat expected this.

 

Honestly, it didn’t make sense for someone with that appearance to just stay in his room playing games.

 

There are tons of people who immediately switch to outdoor streams and do pickup broadcasts even if they’re just slightly handsome.

 

Mungi’s case could be considered quite special.

 

‘No wait, if we’re being specific, maybe he avoided doing pickup broadcasts because he was trying to go mainstream?’

 

He even received this kind of misunderstanding.

 

“As expected of our Mud War champion.”

 

Dal-geun, Kim Gonggong, Chasakgang, Bisoryong, and others.

 

The majority of Big Corporation male broadcasters were eager to watch 【Love Code】 as soon as possible.

 

“…Huh? Really?”

 

“Wow, wow.ow.ow.ow. So that’s what Mungi is doing? He went on a dating show?”

 

The female broadcasters felt sadness at the news of losing everyone’s idol.

 

Whether they had a connection with Mungi or not, it felt like Garden’s idol was going to drift far away.

 

Especially.

 

“…No, but usually don’t you need permission from your ex-girlfriend for this kind of thing?”

 

– This isn’t even a transfer dating show, why would you

 

– Jjining, Mungi has become too world-class now

 

– If it’s Netflix, it’s simultaneous worldwide release, so he’s really going world-class

 

– Jjining Jjining, you only had a one-day date

 

– Mungi! Stolen away by Big Corporation capitalwwwww

 

Jjining and.

 

“No, my ex-husband went on a dating program without even consulting me… what should I do about this?”

 

– Hahahahahahaha former first lady Lera

 

– Still can’t forget the memories of Yoran Gardenwwww

 

– She couldn’t even bring up doing Merk’s concert together

 

– I was going to give you credit if it was at least decent, but that’s disappointing lol

 

– For real lol

 

– Almost admitted that it’s cringey! lol

 

– Unfortunately, Lera might have to be alone for~ life

 

Lera claimed their romantic stakes.

 

Naturally, since it was WWE, it didn’t become a big controversy.

 

Even though the parties involved weren’t actually doing WWE.

 

‘But really, why didn’t I notice? Mungi could date anyone at any time.’

 

‘…Not Han River VTuber dates, but really Mungi could… ah, so he could date for real, right?’

 

The fact that Mungi was going on a dating show hinted at the possibility that he could actually date someone.

 

The moment people realized this, they understood.

 

Mungi is only hanging out with us like this because he’s doing Internet Broadcasting right now.

 

But the moment he decides to seriously date someone, he could really just go ahead and do it.

 

“…Should I ask how it went… No wait, you probably signed a confidentiality agreement… No, then does that mean I have to watch Mungi on a dating show for 6 weeks?”

 

As soon as Jjining and Lera had that thought, their expressions became terribly distorted.

 

The fortunate thing was that they didn’t show these expressions on the broadcast.

 

Other than that, the situation could be considered the worst.

 

Especially.

 

‘Wait, come to think of it… Huh? What if he’s really, really dating someone without telling me?’

 

Ttaranta, who belatedly realized this truth, had her expression completely ruined.

 

Since he appeared on a Netflix program, naturally the dating-related parts would be kept secret too.

 

Even though Mungi did personal broadcasts while filming.

 

If he really wanted to date someone in secret, couldn’t he do it as much as he wanted?

 

Moreover.

 

‘He doesn’t really have any obligation to tell his broadcast manager about dating.’

 

Since her relationship with Mungi was business, there was no need to tell her everything about his private life.

 

Which meant, in other words.

 

“Aaaahhh! No, that can’t be right? There’s no way Mungi would date anyone!”

 

Ttaranta realized how much she had been standing behind with her hands clasped behind her back, yawning.

 

This wasn’t the time to be peacefully picking out clothes and smiling contentedly.

 

Unlike usual, she had given him the best armament for a space where he needed to look good romantically.

 

‘…So I did someone else a favor? What if Mungi got matched with someone else?’

 

Was I a stupid commander who helped the enemy?

 

No, maybe I wasn’t even a commander at all?

 

‘Mungi… wasn’t actually my general? Then… then do I really have no choice but to meet him in person now?’

 

It was the moment when Mungi’s appearance on the dating show caused ripples in the women’s hearts.

 

+++++++

 

One week.

 

A time that could be long if you considered it long, short if you considered it short.

 

During that time, trailers for the Netflix dating show 【Love Code】 kept coming out.

 

The contestants’ appearances were revealed one by one, and short clips containing provocative scenes poured out.

 

And every time that happened.

 

[ Current Viewer Count: 7,662 ]

 

My broadcast viewer count started going crazy.

 

7,000 people as soon as I turned on the broadcast, and if I had used this topic to draw in more people.

 

I could have easily gathered around 10,000 people.

 

‘If it grows that much, it would break the atmosphere of my broadcast.’

 

But I didn’t do that.

 

I wanted to thoroughly keep my promise of confidentiality.

 

And I knew it was ridiculous to expect people who came from the dating show to watch my broadcast for long.

 

“Today’s game is 44 Expedition Team. I heard that if you just have Physical Skills, you can parry everything or whatever, so I’m going to clear the ending with physical skills!”

 

Rather than satisfying the needs of people who came because of Love Code.

 

I continued doing broadcasts that my existing viewers would enjoy.

 

During this process, some people asked me to tell them gossip related to 【Love Code】.

 

– Thank you Anonymous Donor for the 100,000 won donation.

 

[ Is there any information you can share about Love Code? I’m so curious ]

 

“Thank you so much for the 100,000 won donation. I can’t tell you that, but here’s a 100,000 won Deep Mung Kiss.”

 

Deep mung-jjok.

 

– Mung-ppo *3*

 

– Deep Mung Kiss =3=

 

– Deep munghyeo “3”~

 

– Our Mungi isn’t some male whore who reacts to money like that

 

– Do you think money solves everything!

 

– oO(Break the contract for 100,000 won? Are you crazy lol)

 

– oO(Shouldn’t there be at least three more zeros attached?)

 

I only gave reactions appropriate to the donation amount.

 

I never revealed any other information.

 

And when 【Love Code】 episodes 1 and 2 were about to be released simultaneously on Netflix.

 

“But those who already saw the articles will know… there’s a preview, right? So I think I can say this – I don’t appear in episodes 1 and 2.”

 

– Come out right now!!!

 

– Come out and give me a Mung Kiss!!!

 

– But if someone pays you money there and asks for a Mung Kiss, would you do it?

 

– Would he?

 

– If Ttaranta† did that, I’d never forgive her

 

– Hahahahahahaha

 

– Who are you to say that

 

– The manager overstepping their authority lol

 

I immediately started doing a real-time review of Netflix episodes 1 and 2 as previously contracted.

 

【Love Code】.

 

Through 3 weeks of communal living, they find their match on the final day.

 

It starts with 3 pairs of men and women entering the accommodation and getting to know each other.

 

“There are several accommodation rules, you know? You have to come back to the accommodation after work, there’s a meal duty rotation… phones are prohibited, it really feels like digital detox after so long?”

 

Age and occupation cannot be revealed.

 

If you want to share personal information, it’s only possible through dates.

 

– Oh

 

– But they’re all handsome guys and beautiful girls

 

– They’re all young

 

– But looking at the program info, they said late twenties at most ㅇㅇ

 

– Late twenties would probably be for the guys

 

– For real

 

– In your late twenties, you’re at an age where you might be thinking about marriage rather than just dating, so places like this are a bit… lol

 

– It’s a place where they come to casually show off their charm and date each other

 

“But actually, I joined a few days late, so I don’t know anything about episodes 1 and 2. So I’m also in viewer mode.”

 

– But do you all remember their names?

 

– They lived together for 3 weeks, how could you not remember?

 

– I already memorized them all?

 

【Love Code】 was like all existing dating reality shows.

 

It was a format where they edited the 3-week retreat content and watched that edited content together with the panel.

 

But maybe because I didn’t participate in episodes 1 and 2.

 

I ended up watching it just like the panel was watching.

 

“The rule is that until the second week, you can send anonymous text messages to someone you’re interested in at regular intervals at night? This really creates a great atmosphere.”

 

– But most of them are using their real names

 

– They said you could use nicknames or fake names

 

– They’re hiding their age and occupation, so if they hide their names too, it might be awkward, so everyone probably used their real names?

 

“Right, but I used a nickname, I’m Mungi.”

 

– This is right

 

– Munggi has to be Munggi ㅇㅇ

 

– I actually heard your real name 3 times but forgot it all

 

– But can’t you just change your name legally? Is changing nicknames hard these days?

 

– Nickname change bullshit

 

– Change your name to Mungi, Mungi is better

 

– How can a person’s name be “Mungi” ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

– Mungiiiiiii!!!!

 

The female cast members who appeared in episodes 1 and 2 were named Kim A-young, Hwang Da-jeong, and Shin So-rim respectively.

 

I got the feeling that they looked exactly like what their names suggested.

 

“A-young is cute, Da-jeong is glamorous, and So-rim has a calm and modest feeling?”

 

The male cast members were Ki Seong-ho, Yoo Hyeon-jun, and Ji Si-woo.

 

“Seong-ho has a strong impression, Hyeon-jun has a very gentle feeling, and Si-woo is handsome.”

 

I wondered how they gathered people like this.

 

The three pairs of men and women were really good-looking enough to form a co-ed idol group.

 

Actually, they might have known this to some extent when they applied.

 

With looks like this, it wouldn’t be difficult to gain popularity and become influencers.

 

Anyway.

 

“So it’s really just a feast for the eyes? They were all handsome guys and beautiful girls.”

 

– Handsome guys and beautiful girls, look at that expression

 

– By any chance, how old are you?

 

– But really, there’s no other expression for that

 

– What do kids these days call handsome guys and pretty girls

 

– They just call them all handsome guys and pretty girls

 

– They wouldn’t say king and queen, right

 

– Wow the frame is really insane

 

“The direction is really good, they were already cool people but they look even cooler.”

 

– For real

 

– Agreed

 

– I can’t believe you went on there

 

– Mungi is world class

 

– You’re not going to abandon streaming just because you became world class, right?

 

– For real, don’t suddenly debut in the entertainment industry and leave us for good

 

“Ah, what leaving. Don’t say weird things and just keep watching with me.”

 

– For real

 

– ㅠㅠ

 

– It would be sad if Mungi left

 

– Give us a Mung Kiss before you leave

 

– I’ll give you one Mung Kiss *3*

 

– Deep Mung Kiss =3=

 

– Is there no tongue

 

– Who puts tongue in when saying goodbye, you crazy bastard

 

– Then a little peck :3

 

The content of 【Love Code】 episode 1 was probably an episode designed to make viewers empathize with the cast members.

 

You could see they were trying hard to show the cast members’ charm without revealing their age and occupation.

 

Cooking together, briefly sharing daily life in the shared accommodation.

 

When the first night came and it was time for everyone to vote on love lines.

 

“This was kind of legendary.”

 

Hwang Da-jeong ↙ Ki Seong-ho

 

Kim A-young ← Yoo Hyeon-jun

 

Shin So-rim ↖ Ji Si-woo

 

It showed that all the male cast members sent interest messages to Kim A-young.

 

“A-young really laughs so well at everything, whatever you say… like even if you say pudding! she just laughs so much, so the first impression was really incredibly good.”

 

– For real, she does look like that

 

– Her smile is so bubbly

 

– She is pretty cute

 

– When a woman laughs like that, I immediately think she’s going to hit the back of my head and definitely scam me

 

– For real though

 

– That’s actually true

 

– A woman smiling at me that brightly? I can’t help but think she has some ulterior motive

 

“Here A-young…”

 

And Kim A-young, who received votes from all the men, made her choice.

 

“It was Seong-ho? Right, but seriously when you look at him you get this feeling like wow, he’s so manly. It was crazy.”

 

It was Ki Seong-ho, who gave off a strong masculine impression.

 

If I had to compare him to something, I’d say he was like a gigachad – not that their faces were similar.

 

But the vibe they gave off was very similar.

 

With the two of them becoming a match, episode 1 came to an end.

 

Episode 2 began with the two people whose love lines matched going on a date in earnest.

 

“Wow, the more I look at this hotel, the more amazing it gets. I want to live there.”

 

– Just looking at the atmosphere, it’s like 7-star quality

 

– National power level

 

– Shivering/trembling

 

– Both the interior and the food spread out are legendary

 

– After watching them cook and eat together in the kitchen in episode 1, seeing restaurant food like this makes the atmosphere feel so different

 

“That’s exactly the key point. In the accommodation they share, they can’t talk about age or occupation, right? They can’t share that information either? So the conversations they can have feel a bit floating, but the hotel is different.”

 

When they go on a date, they first move to the hotel, where they eat and enjoy the spa.

 

After various leisure activities, if there’s time left, they briefly go outside for a walk and sleep in the same room.

 

That doesn’t mean they sleep in the same bed though.

 

There’s one bed, but one of them sleeps on the bed while the other sleeps on a cot.

 

The reason there’s only one bed is for later, right before they become actual lovers.

 

It was like a device created for people who are in a flirtatious relationship to sleep together.

 

“The hotel is where they can have deep conversations, and the accommodation is just so-so?”

 

– Oh

 

– They’re telling each other their jobs at the hotel

 

– Kim Ayoung is a flight attendant ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

 

– Ki Seong-ho is a fashion brand CEO

 

– Isn’t Ki Seong-ho’s clothing somewhat famous? He’s appeared in fashion shows several times

 

– For real

 

– The guy was a famous person

 

– Kim Ayoung is definitely younger lol

 

– As soon as she found out his age, she immediately turned on the oppa mode

 

– Seongho is absolutely thrilled by being called “oppa” lol

 

– Being called oppa does feel good

 

– Agreed

 

– I like the sound of “mungppo” lol

 

– Mungppo *3*

 

– Deep Mungppo =3=

 

A pair of men and women on a date and two pairs of men and women breaking the ice at the accommodation.

 

After a day had passed like that, the pair who finished their date returned to the accommodation.

 

The moment when three pairs of men and women gathered again at the accommodation.

 

Starting from how the hotel was, to what they did there, and so on.

 

A scene shows questions pouring out to the man and woman who got to know each other through their date.

 

As the 3:3 situation continued with a harmonious atmosphere.

 

“Oh wait, no, I do appear in episode 2?”

 

Right before the ending song came up.

 

Episode 2 ends with a blurry silhouette of a man opening the door.

 

– Wait, is that really you?

 

– But it is Mungi for sure

 

– Hahahahaha

 

– Look how brightly he’s smiling even with the blur effect

 

– Mungi is always bright, so nice to see

 

“But this means the real thing starts next week, I’ll have to be careful with my words from next week too. Since I might spoil things.”

 

With those words, as soon as episode 2 ended, I immediately turned on 44 Expedition Team again.

 

The viewers who flowed in would probably want me to share more stories about 【Love Code】.

 

Not a chance.

 

+++++++

 

Time passed quickly to the next week.

 

The time when 【Love Code】 episode 3 would be released.

 

Ttaranta just planted her butt firmly in the chair and glared at the screen like she was going to kill it.

 

“5…4…3…2…1… It’s up!”

 

Netflix infinite refresh.

 

As soon as that painful endurance ended, Ttaranta immediately clicked on episode 3.

 

After a brief cast introduction in the opening, the last content from episode 2 continued right away.

 

The time when three pairs of men and women had finished dinner and were having a harmonious conversation while eating snacks.

 

Creak.

 

The door opens.

 

“Mungi has arrived!”

 

Mungi enters.

 

Since it was winter time, unlike the men who generally entered the house wearing coats.

 

Mungi walked into the house in short sleeves, carrying a cardigan under his arm as if he was hot.

 

“Hello, please take care of me. I’m Mungi, and I’ll be living with you starting today.”

 

『 Nickname : Mungi 』

 

The appearance of the only person using a nickname.

 

“Huh, huh…?”

 

“Wow, a new person has come?”

 

“Oh, no… Wow, so this is how you come in.”

 

The men are flustered.

 

“…”

 

The women stare intently at Mungi without saying a word.

 

And the 【Love Code】 panelists watching these reactions.

 

“Isn’t the game over now? I mean, they asked for a man, but what do we do when they bring in an alpha male.”

 

“Ever since Mungi arrived, everyone’s gone crazy. The women suddenly started tucking their hair behind their ears… checking mirrors…”

 

“The swallowing reaction is really obvious. But wow, the production team is amazing – where did they find someone like that.”

 

They started making a fuss saying it was chaos.

 

“Now that there are 4 men, the 1:1 matching is broken, right? As the gender ratio becomes unbalanced, this equilibrium…!”

 

“But the one who broke that balance is that person… I mean, Mungi, who’s overwhelming everyone with his looks.”

 

“Mungi has arrived! What was that? A prepared line? Kind of like an opening? He has this quirky charm.”

 

The reaction that they’d found the real deal.

 

The panelists continued praising Mungi.

 

The screen returns to when Mungi first appeared.

 

“Oh, you’re all still awake. I was worried I might be bothering you if you were sleeping.”

 

The situation splits into exactly two reactions.

 

“No, no, we were having snacks.”

 

The female cast members kindly responding to Mungi’s words.

 

“…Th, this way. Or if you haven’t eaten, how… what should we do.”

 

The awkwardness of the male cast members who instinctively sensed a clear threat.

 

In that awkwardness, only one person remained relaxed.

 

“Then delivery… oh, my phone doesn’t work from the moment I got here. You said the kitchen is over there? Then I’ll just cook something simple, so everyone continue your conversation.”

 

It was only Mungi.

 

As soon as Mungi headed to the kitchen as if it was nothing.

 

“No way, does that make sense? Mungi! How can we have a conversation over there! Mungi is the one who came late!”

 

“Maybe it’s intentional? Calculated behavior? It doesn’t make sense to do that unconsciously.”

 

“As soon as Mungi went to the kitchen, all 6 people in the living room followed him there. Isn’t that crazy?”

 

The panelists went crazy again.

 

“Normally in that situation, wouldn’t you just go to the living room together to join the atmosphere? Generally speaking?”

 

“He’s really an alpha male, an alpha. When he says he’s going to cook alone, how can you just leave him? Everyone’s awkward since it’s their first meeting.”

 

“Right, exactly. If we talked in the living room, it would look like we’re leaving him alone, a guest… how could you do that.”

 

Normally, joining the atmosphere would be typical.

 

But Mungi broke that atmosphere and just headed straight to the kitchen.

 

Instead of joining the atmosphere, he became the one leading it.

 

In exactly 30 seconds, he had completely seized control of the group.

 

Clatter clatter.

 

The scene unfolds of six people joining the kitchen for one person’s meal.

 

“What are you going to eat, Mungi?”

 

“Oh, I’ll just have something light… I saw there’s some meat and chicken in the refrigerator, so I thought I’d make some boiled pork and whole chicken soup.”

 

“…It’s 11 PM right now, you know?”

 

“If it had been 8 o’clock, I would have grilled some pork belly here too. That’s really a shame, don’t you think?”

 

And the casual conversation continued.

 

The 6 people in the kitchen didn’t know what to do with Mungi and were at a loss.

 

But the person in question was walking around the kitchen preparing food as if nothing was wrong.

 

“If anyone is thinking about having a late-night snack, please let me know since I’ll need to make a bit more.”

 

“Two chickens and one geun of boiled pork… so that’s one serving?”

 

“…Are you saying it’s not?”

 

“…”

 

He was even a big eater.

 

At this part, the panel burst out laughing.

 

“Wait, isn’t he being way too comfortable? Already eating well?”

 

“Isn’t it so funny how he’s getting ready to eat well?”

 

“Mungi is really charming, it’s crazy.”

 

The cast members still didn’t know how to treat Mungi.

 

So the things they could say and do were limited.

 

“Mungi, is there anything we can help you with?”

 

They offered to help prepare the meal together.

 

As soon as they said that, Mungi responded as if he had been waiting.

 

“Oh, then could you prepare the chicken… could you separate just the chicken breast and slice it? Thinly, sliced… like shabu-shabu style.”

 

He immediately started directing the kitchen.

 

In this funny environment where everyone was moving for just one person’s meal.

 

“Mungi, is there anything I can help you with?”

 

Among the female cast members, Kim A-young approached Mungi with a bright smile.

 

Mungi looked at A-young as if he had been waiting for those words and smiled back the same way.

 

“Do you know how to make lemon water?”

 

He immediately asked for lemon water.

 

This was the moment when Mungi truly began to show his presence on 【Love Code】.
