Heart pounding

Why Japan all of a sudden?

It’s because I felt like I was just reaching out into too many different things lately.

Like I became a multinational conglomerate with tentacles everywhere.

But none of those extended tentacles are actually producing results.

‘The National Territory thing too… and the celebrity channel collaboration video won’t come out for another 3 weeks.’

What’s left is either staying home and playing games seriously or doing collaborations.

But I’ve been doing too many collaborations lately, and I can’t think of any particular game to play.

So naturally my gaze turned outside the house.

Plus, the fact that I’ve never been overseas in my life played a big part too.

My school trip was to Jeju Island, and other than that I couldn’t afford to go anywhere.

‘I was working multiple part-time jobs because I couldn’t even pay rent… overseas travel was a luxury.’

Now that I have financial breathing room.

I thought I’d just go overseas to expand my broadcast content as well.

As for Japanese, while clumsy, I could handle basic conversation at least.

And since it’s a neighboring country anyway, even if I couldn’t speak Japanese at all, it wouldn’t be a major hindrance to traveling.

The thought of just going without thinking ahead or behind filled my head.

– You’re going to Japan to travel? As a broadcast?

“Yeah, that’s right. I’ll do it as a broadcast, turn on the stream… like a Japan night broadcast…”

– You going to dangerous places? Like entertainment districts?

– For real?

– Wait, can you even broadcast from those places?

– Just put on the 19+ rating lol

– True

– As long as it’s not seriously explicit stuff, everything’s fine anyway

– True, female streamers wear ridiculous outfits so what’s the problem

“I’m thinking of going, actually I did Host Roleplay before right? So now in that direction… Shinjuku, Kabukicho? They say this is the street that never sleeps, I gotta go there once.”

– Holy shit

– The first thing you do after becoming a partner streamer is Japanese Cultural Invasion lol

– I have no idea what mindset you’re operating with anymore

– What’s the plan?

– There is no plan though?

– Mungi never has any plans huh?

– What a remarkable young man

– He’s a spear-wielding guy though?

I haven’t decided how long I’ll stay yet so I just bought a one-way ticket.

To commemorate becoming a partner streamer, I should go visit the neighboring country representing Garden.

– Ttaranta† You’re really just going to Kabukicho with no plan?

– Ttaranta† You’re joking right? Is this WWE?

– Even their manager can’t tell them apart ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– But looking at those eyes, it’s real

“And there are things I want to try when I go to Japan, so I’m planning to satisfy all my desires before coming back.”

– ?

– What are we supposed to do when you suddenly say that

– All desires < What does this mean?

– Ugh

– What do you think it means, obviously Mungi Kkeoseu ugh hoba pak hugogok obabat /This viewer has been banned

– Wait then who’s going to satisfy my desires?

– Come to an agreement with your left hand

– Ahhhhh!!!

After telling the viewers that I was going on a trip to Japan.

I quickly packed my bags for the Japan trip.

Starting with the camera, various clothes, and toiletries.

The packing itself was quick so there was no problem.

> You’re not going to do weird stuff in Japan, right?

> Huh?

< What are you talking about lol

< What weird stuff, give me an example with your own mouth

> I don’t know

> Never mind

> But do you have a passport?

< ㅇㅇ made it in advance

When Ttaranta heard I was going on a trip to Japan, she sent me a few more clothes.

It seemed like she gave them to match Japanese style.

‘But if I walk around Tokyo streets dressed this nicely, won’t people think I’m a host?’

Well, surely that won’t happen.

+++++

Going to Japan these days really wasn’t difficult at all.

Japan was a place you could go to even tomorrow, and the immigration process was very clean and fast.

To put it extremely, it was like blinking a few times and you’re in Japan.

The first thing I had to do was go to the accommodation.

By the way, since I didn’t know where to book, I asked Ttaranta.

Ttaranta immediately found and booked the best value accommodation.

‘As expected, a competent manager is different.’

Competent manager, (cosmetics company CEO).

Still, I didn’t forget to turn on the broadcast from time to time.

I have to give survival updates after all.

“I turned on a short broadcast. I’m going to the accommodation and then to Kabukicho? Kabukicho? Gabukicho? The place name is a bit confusing… Since I’ll just be traveling until I arrive, I don’t think I’ll be able to broadcast properly.”

– Me

– Locked

– Where does that exist? If you’re a broadcaster, fulfill your duties as a broadcaster

– For real, are you saying it’s okay if our house Geummungeo dies?

– So selfish

– So Mung-ppo-ish

– Mung Kiss *3*

– Deep Mung Kiss =3=

“The accommodation is in the Shinjuku area, but it would be funny if I met my fan while passing by here. Like ‘Excuse me, aren’t you Mungi?’ and then subscribe to Mung-tube and like…”

– Would that happen?

– I think it’s possible though?

– No, it’s just funny because what he’s saying makes too much sense

– This guy’s popularity outside of internet broadcasting is insane

– Does the main character of Netflix’s 7th place look like a joke to you?

While using various means of transportation to get to the Shinjuku area with the broadcast on.

Just as I said.

“Excuse me, are you Mungi…?”

“Yes?”

“Mungi, Mungi-san…!”

“Do you know me?”

“Lemon Water! I know Lemon Water! And, but you’re really ridiculously handsome in person.”

I immediately encountered my first overseas fan.

But.

“Why do you speak Korean so well?”

“I watch a lot of dramas, and I like idols, so I studied a lot!”

“Wow… that’s amazing. I also studied Japanese a lot, so could you possibly evaluate my Japanese too?”

“Yes, yes? Of, of course!”

I was surprised by the more favorable reaction than I expected.

This was the first time someone approached me so openly saying they’re a fan.

I was happy but also dumbfounded at the same time.

It felt like I’d become world-class.

‘Be careful of celebrity disease, be extra careful.’

Muttering to myself like that.

“I’m trying to go to a hotel in the Shinjuku area right now. Hotel? Accommodation? Yes.”

“Oh, then I’m also going that way… My acquaintance was supposed to pick me up. Would you like to ride together?”

“What?”

– ?

– What are they saying

– Both are in Japanese so I can’t really tell

– Someone who can help!!!!

– *adjusts glasses* Currently Mungi said he’s going to Shinjuku so the fan is saying they’ll give him a ride by car

– For real?

– Suddenly?

– This plot development is fucking crazy

– But I think I know why

– Me too

– The fan literally has hearts in their eyes lol

– Mungi, what are you gonna do if you’re already charming fans

– Wait, should we consider this being charmed

– Ttaranta† his face is basically an ID Card, people are taking photos freely next to him and it’s chaos

– Ttaranta† is practically a celebrity right?

– Should consider him a celebrity

– Doesn’t he have over 40,000 Instagram followers? And he doesn’t even post much or upload daily photos?

– It’s 50,000 now

– Crazy bastard

After briefly contemplating the sudden offer to travel together.

‘Assuming I get kidnapped… if the car door isn’t bulletproof glass, I’ll just break it and escape using Baki Breakfall Technique… hmm, that should work perfectly.’

After making a rough assessment, I immediately nodded to show my agreement.

And what followed.

“Wow, woww… So we’re really going together? With, with Mungi-san?”

“But if that happens, I’m broadcasting, so there’ll be a lot of exposure… and we’ll have to talk a lot, is that okay with you?”

“Yes, yes of course, I, I… I’m subscribed too. Channel, plus? Premium…? Subscribed!”

“Wow… really? Guys, look at this. They’re a tier 2 subscriber.”

– Wait Mungi knows about personal broadcasting?

– They’d have to know

– Broadcasting scenes came up a few times during filming

– Even overseas fans aren’t hardtack… should we kick out all the hardtack?

– What’s hardtack

– You bastard who’s never donated to Mungi’s room once lololololol

– ㅠㅠ Ugh, I want to eat rice

– Mung-eat

– Mung-tta-eat? /This viewer has been banned

– Mungi Kkeoseu uhh tta-tta-tta-tta-tta-eat /This viewer has been banned

– Knew it was tta-tta-ban lol

– What’s tta-tta-ban

– Is this outdated now too… Do kids these days not know about tea-bag?

I was shocked by the conversation with the fan.

Wait, an overseas fan is a subscriber to my broadcast, and a premium subscriber at that?

‘They’re regularly sending me about 15,000 won from overseas to Korea?’

No wonder my subscriber count has been exploding lately.

Did subscriptions increase along with the growing overseas fanbase?

‘At this rate, I really need to do a subscriber broadcast later, since it just exists without anything special about it.’

The only thing it has going for it is donation queue-jumping.

But that’s such a basic feature that I felt I needed to add something else.

“Then you must watch my broadcasts too?”

“Yes, yes, so actually my Korean improved a lot because of that, so, so actually I want to… communicate in Korean rather than Japanese right now.”

– Someone translate

– They’re saying they want to talk in Korean

– Ooh

– For real

– But was Mungi’s Japanese this good? He can have conversations with locals?

– They’re deliberately speaking slowly for him, but Mungi’s pretty decent

– I’m confused because it’s not anime otaku Japanese but actually proper Japanese lol

While continuing our conversation like that, I got a ride.

The fan’s acquaintance, the person who came to pick me up, was also my fan.

“Eh, eeh… It, it’s really Mungi-san…”

“Hello, Mungi has arrived!”

“It, it’s real! Mungi has arrived… it’s his live voice…”

– What the hell does “live voice” mean

– Is this Japanese expressiveness

– It is different

– I also want to someday just live

– Wow it cuts off there

– Ttaranta† is good at keeping the line lol

– Barely made it safe

Thankfully, they welcomed me warmly.

“I will… definitely escort you to your accommodation.”

“No no, escort me… that’s too much…”

“If, if… it’s not rude, could we take a photo later and… my, my mom is also a huge fan, so could we ask for just one video call?”

“Of course, that’s totally okay.”

“Totally! Totally okay…! Thank you!”

I was able to go straight to the accommodation without any inconvenience.

And very comfortably in the back seat, which you could call the VIP seat.

– Crazy bastard

– He’s solving all transportation with his face lololololol

– How much would a taxi from the airport to Shinjuku accommodation cost

– Living life on easy mode with that face

– Crazy bastard

– I’m especially pissed off today for some reason

– Ta-da-da† Maybe it’s because you’re dressed well today, but you’re really glowing ㅋㅋ

– Agreed

– Well Mungi always dresses well anyway

– He has good sense

– It’s because he’s a good clothes hanger

– Ta-da-da† That’s part of it, but I feel like they really think well about harmony haha

“Ah, not just photos, since you brought me here today which I’m grateful for, let me buy you a meal.”

“Eh, ehhh… R-really?”

“A meal that Mungi is buying… Hehe… I can’t believe it.”

– The fans’ faces are pure happiness itself ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Even I would be happy if a super handsome guy offered photos + meal

– Why handsome guy?

– Because if a super high school level beautiful girl approached me offering photos + meal, it would be a scam

– Performance is certain

– For real, definitely would be a spy

– Agreed

So just taking photos and sending them off felt too sorry, so I promised them a meal.

“Ah, but before that I have something to do… Let me take care of that first then we’ll eat together.”

“Take care of? What kind?”

“Near the accommodation… Ah, there’s something I really want to do for broadcasting… It won’t take long, just about 10 minutes? Please wait for me.”

“Yes yes yes, I’ll definitely wait!”

– ?

– What is he trying to do

– Why do I get so anxious when this guy says he’s going to do something

– Just don’t cause any trouble

– What exactly is he planning?

After asking for their understanding, we headed straight to the accommodation in Shinjuku.

We didn’t even pay attention to how long it took to arrive.

We naturally continued our conversation in the car the whole way.

As soon as we arrived at the accommodation, I immediately threw my luggage inside.

“Please wait a moment, I’ll go somewhere and come back.”

“Yes, okay!”

I headed straight to McDonald’s.

– Suddenly?

– He said he’d buy them a meal, don’t tell me he’s going to settle it with hamburgers?

“No, it’s not like that. Do you think I’m just freeloading? If I’m treating someone to a meal, it should be yakiniku or something, or eel.”

– This guy really has loyalty

– A loyal young man

– A loyal spear bastard

– Today again, this young man sold his face to enjoy life’s conveniences

– Only possible for Mungi

– ㅠㅠ

Actually, one of the things I thought I absolutely had to do when I came to Japan was.

“Welcome, what can I get for you?”

“One Big Mac and a smile, please.”

“Eh?”

It was ordering a smile.

The special thing about McDonald’s in Japan.

You can actually order a smile from the employee.

The price is 0 yen, and if you actually order it, the staff will smile brightly at you.

It could be seen as a special menu item created under Japan’s exceptional service spirit.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about whether they still do it or not.

But since I confirmed it was clearly on the menu, I ordered it without hesitation.

“Eh…”

The employee hesitated for a moment.

“Would you like that for takeout?”

“Ah, the Big Mac? Yes, the Big Mac is for takeout.”

“No, the smile. Would you like the smile for takeout?”

She casually mentioned smile takeout with a smiling face.

So a smile is the employee’s laughter, and she’s asking if I want to take that out?

That means.

‘…Is she saying she’ll come out with me right now?’

Maybe her work hours were almost over, so she was really saying she’d come with me.

I had unintentionally hit on someone, and it was immediately successful.

– What’s this situation?

– You don’t need to know Japanese to understand this

– Smile, take out ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Crazy bastard

– Does it really take less than 3 seconds to pick someone up?

– Are hearts really falling from the employee’s eyes? Is this real?

– Heart eyes… wasn’t that an anime thing?

‘This wasn’t in my calculations.’

Honestly, I was just going to get a smile once, get my hamburger, and leave.

Who would have thought she’d mention smile takeout.

A brief silence, and before that silence could last more than 3 seconds.

“If pickup is available right now, I’ll take out Smile as well.”

I just went ahead and said it refreshingly.

A moment later.

“…Eh, when Mungi-san said he was going out, you meant to pick up an acquaintance?”

“Mungi-san’s acquaintance? Hello.”

“No no, this person isn’t an acquaintance but… um, Smile takeout.”

– You crazy bastard, not an acquaintance but Smile takeout lmaooooooo

– Are you not even treating her like a person lolololol?

– This guy really is a beast

– Even the staff can speak Korean lolololololol

– Holy shit situation occurring

In an instant, I had gained 3 Japanese acquaintances.

– Taxi driver, tier 2 subscriber, Smile takeout, internet broadcaster (leader) what is this combination?

– Are they pirates?

– Lolololololololololol

– This all happened in less than a day after arriving in Japan?

– But the fans’ looks are all equally wow holy shit

– They’re civilians so refrain from commenting on looks okay

– For real

– She is pretty though

– Building a harem right after arriving what the hell

– O3O surprised Mung-ppo

– For real but it is surprising

– Hypnosis App face performance really doesn’t make sense

“Well then, shall we go eat?”

“Yes, yes!”

A Japan trip where I already made 3 acquaintances.

How exciting.
