Absolutely can’t take it away
“Bring your lunch boxes and line up in single file in front of me.”
As soon as Mungi said those words.
– ?
– ?
– ?
The viewers of 【Garden】 Virtual Marriage official channel felt their brains stop functioning.
What the hell is this now?
The viewers felt confused but were being forced to accept the situation by Mungi’s overwhelming physical presence.
190cm tall, triple-digit weight, and the perfect harmony of muscles from low body fat percentage.
Wearing jeans and a white t-shirt, arms crossed, making the women line up in front of him – like a husband from 40 years ago.
“Huh?”
The viewers were so dumbfounded that their brain-dead sounds literally came out of their mouths.
Even though internet broadcasting is in the shadows, nowadays there are people in the mainstream too.
The content level varies depending on the broadcaster, and official broadcasts even openly aim for mainstream appeal.
They thought he would draw clear lines in these areas and show an innocent virtual marriage feeling.
“Marriage with three women… truly admirable. But the reason this is possible is all because of my abilities, isn’t it? Since I’m called a heroic figure, this is only possible when male authority is properly established.”
– What heroic figure
– Isn’t it heroic pervert?
– Are you a Hero-ho girl? lololololololol
– herolikegirl
– What kind of English is this even
– Did he run it through a cheap translator?
– Why is his speech pattern like this too
– He really became the demon of patriarchy
– Manager Moong lololol
“Therefore… I shall strictly govern the women, so wives, follow me.”
Faced with this completely 180-degree different appearance, the viewers could do nothing but just watch.
Actually, there wasn’t anything else they could do anyway, but it felt even more like that, you could say.
– This guy talking nonsense
– The wives lolololololol
– This is exactly how a king manages his wives
– Seems like he was born in the wrong era
In fact, this was a development unfolding under Mungi’s meticulous calculation.
A fatal truth that ordinary people could never know.
‘All female streamers, no, even if not female streamers… all female broadcasters have stalkers attached to them.’
It’s just a difference of whether it’s mild or severe.
It’s a very sad story, but stalkers were just something that naturally came with being a female broadcaster.
In EV’s case, it was an extremely severe case where someone followed her with a sword.
Mild stalkers lurk around very creepily, observing their surroundings.
‘So… there’s no need to provoke those guys through this kind of broadcast.’
Besides, EV, Jjining, and Mumiming all had broadcast formats that primarily catered to male viewers anyway.
If they showed genuinely innocent or shy behavior in Gagyeolsaeng, it could affect their livelihood.
Even if they weren’t doing pseudo-romance business.
At the very least, they should avoid openly being lovey-dovey, you could say.
It’s like how a rice ball chef doesn’t need to say things like ‘I just went to the bathroom! And I’m about to cook! Don’t worry, I washed my hands!’
So to maintain that line, Mungi adopted a patriarchal concept.
“Lunch boxes… whose lunch box should we eat first? This is the most important topic, since some people think this determines the ranking of wives.”
So what Mungi was doing now.
“Therefore… from now on, there will be a dance initiation to determine the lunch box order.”
It absolutely wasn’t because he wanted to, absolutely not for his own entertainment.
“Dance.”
He was serious.
+++++++
While three women were preparing to dance in real time.
‘Is it okay to broadcast this as is?’
‘Then what else can we do, the first episode concept turned out like this… so we’re not going to do it?’
The Gagyeolsaeng team kept exchanging glances and conversing through lip movements.
‘Can we air this?’
‘It’s live, so there’s no can or can’t, we just do it. Besides, isn’t this Bora? This is Bora’s true flavor.’
‘But originally the Gagyeolsaeng concept was supposed to be more innocent… that kind of feeling.’
‘With three women from the start, do you think that was possible? And don’t you see the viewer count, reactions, and donations exploding?’
While the team members were restless.
Only the Team Leader and PD were seeing Gagyeolsaeng’s success.
And not just success, but massive success at that.
‘As expected of Mungi.’
‘This is Mungi, Hope edition.’
‘Please remain Garden’s top guaranteed box office draw forever.’
‘Let’s quickly proceed with making Mungi a partner streamer?’
‘Of course.’
They were even thinking of definitely tying Mungi to 【Garden】 once Gagyeolsaeng ended.
The performance Mungi was showing now was at a miraculous level from the PD and Team Leader’s perspective.
To think he could develop a virtual marriage show with an unbalanced 1:3 male-female ratio in this way to create entertainment.
‘Partner streamer… we must definitely secure that.’
And going further from there, even the VIP treatment that secretly goes on among partner streamers.
Starting from this incident, 【Garden】 felt like actively envisioning a future working with Mungi.
While such thoughts kept flowing.
“The dance… EV.”
“Yes, yes?”
“You’re the worst dancer.”
– Hahahahahahahaha
– EV got her hopes up for a moment then immediately despaired
– He just straight up lifted her and slammed her to the ground
– A devil who picks people up and puts them down
“But since you danced the most enthusiastically, I’ll give you high points for passion and eat your food first.”
– Don’t lie
– For real
– You just think EV’s food looks the most delicious
– Mungi probably actually tried it before?
– For real
– He said it was really delicious lol
“Th… Thank you.”
Mungi continued with his unavoidable concept.
He ate the lunch boxes in order: EV, Jjining, then Mumiming.
“Before I give my critique… let me give you some time to eat my cooking too.”
He took out the lunch box he had kept beside him and bestowed one upon each of the three women.
“Since this is all a broadcast, I don’t want you to eat too much and get bloated or… get chili powder stuck in your teeth, so I carefully selected lunch boxes with maximum consideration.”
– The consideration is nice
– But now he’s saying that consideration out loud
– Is this awkward father roleplay?
– Hahahahahahahaha
– The Mungi who used to do Mung Kiss doesn’t seem like the same person I knew
– I can give you some Mung Kiss *3*
– Deep Mung Kiss =3=
– Deep Munghyeo “3”~
– Mung lump :3
– This is something I newly developed Mung smooch ‘3ε’
– Are you crazy with that Mung smooch
– What exactly is the reason you’re doing this
– Well… because it’s fun
The screen focuses on the lunch box Mungi brought.
With the patriarchal concept, honestly it would have been hilarious even if it was just plain rice with seaweed on top and some kimchi.
“…No, Mungi, you brought a really proper poke bowl?”
“There’s salad too… and though it’s a small amount, there’s some pasta and brown rice.”
“Are you a tsundere?”
“Quiet, can’t women keep their mouths shut even when eating?”
– Women what the hell
– That statement is quite concerning
– This guy prepared poke salad pasta and brown rice, then got all embarrassed and flustered when he received compliments lol
– Director Mung is a tsundere
– The guy who sweetly puts tissues and water next to you lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– O specter of the 21st century who cannot abandon Confucian ideology, return to being a primitive caveman
– Back to those days when we hunted mammoths…
– But even like this, he just talks but his actions are completely different, so fucking funny
– That’s the funny part
Mungi’s proper lunch box brought yet another novelty.
And so the first Gagyeolsaeng was continuing successfully.
– Mungi, but even after all this, he’s still just a regular streamer
– They’ll probably promote him with this opportunity
– For real, Garden needs to secure him?
Among the countless chats, content came up about how Mungi still wasn’t fully affiliated with Garden.
“…They still haven’t given him proper treatment?”
Someone who was carefully checking that chat smiled deeply.
++++++
Obviously, Garden isn’t the only broadcasting platform in South Korea.
Besides Garden, there were several others.
Among them, if you just consider size, there was one platform that was eagerly chasing after Garden.
That was Spark.
Garden and Spark
The two leading forces of South Korea’s internet broadcasting industry.
Excluding adult broadcasting platforms, there were no places comparable to these two.
Anyway, Spark was in second place, eagerly following Garden.
They were always targeting Garden’s talent to surpass Garden.
Those who had already become partner streamers couldn’t be helped.
But if they were still just regular streamers without such contractual relationships.
They could easily transfer them to Spark through meetings, and there were actually no problems with this.
‘Give them a monthly salary until their subscriber count and position are established…’
Unless they were broadcasters with truly astronomical-level status.
For freelancers whose income was always unstable, a monthly salary was truly like rain in a drought, an incredible sense of security.
It could be seen as contract conditions that boasted a 100% recruitment rate.
Therefore.
‘Centered around Mungi… shall we properly unfold our own story?’
Spark’s management team immediately formed a recruitment team and instructed them to approach Mungi.
When the first Gagyeolsaeng ended, Mungi checked the meeting email that came from Spark.
‘Oh… what’s this, a chance to raise my value?’
Having finished checking it in real-time through his phone, Mungi.
“…I got an email from Spark.”
Pretending it was accidental, he casually dropped this comment while passing by the Gagyeolsaeng team members.
“Hm?”
Those words immediately caught the attention of a Gagyeolsaeng Team member.
“What?”
Following the strict hierarchy, the Team Leader.
“…From Spark?”
The Director.
“So you’re saying they contacted Mungi? From Spark?”
The General Manager.
“…So while Mungi hasn’t applied for a partner streamer yet because of scheduling issues… while we were sitting back and feeling secure, Spark sent an email to Mungi? We don’t know the content? But the content is obvious, isn’t it? They want to meet, asking how about switching broadcasting platforms.”
The news went up the chain of command in strict hierarchical order.
“Hehehe, hehehehehe! Hahahaha! These cheeky bastards… just when it’s starting to lay golden eggs… huh? Our? Huh? They’re trying to just snatch away our new item?”
“…”
“Hey, set up a meeting. We’ll meet first, with Mungi… no, really… how much are they offering? Crazy bastards, tell them we’ll definitely pay double.”
The full-scale show of raising Mungi’s market value had begun.
Normally, it was rare to focus this much on one individual broadcaster.
But someone in the position of Garden’s General Manager couldn’t help but know.
The countless content that Mungi would create in the future and the value that would come from it.
Therefore.
“We absolutely won’t let them take him.”
He had no intention of handing Mungi over to anyone else.
