Chapter 56: I’ve Been Waiting For This Moment

People come home after school or work and have free time.

They spend not much time at home to relieve the stress of studying or working, such as watching movies, reading books, or playing games.

Therefore, the entertainment industry can be said to be the most important time from 6 pm to 10 pm in 24 hours.

Broadcasting stations schedule the most popular dramas or variety shows at 9 or 10 o’clock and put the main news in the 9 o’clock news.

YouTubers prefer to upload at 6 o’clock so that people can watch it on the bus or subway during commute hours.

Web novels can be viewed more lightly, so they are sometimes uploaded at 8 am during the morning commute or at 1 pm during lunch break.

Like this, content for someone’s enjoyment is important time.

Osorin, whose main viewing audience was in their 20s and 30s, set the broadcast time from 6 pm to 12 am accordingly.

If it’s too late, viewers will feel tired and there is a high possibility of dropping out midway.

This was especially true for broadcasts with a high proportion of adults.

So, by ending the broadcast at 12 o’clock or before, it creates a sense of satisfaction that they watched the broadcast until the end and lowers the barrier to come to the next broadcast.

Osorin smiled brightly and greeted the viewers.

Another long broadcast today.

Slightly tired, she stretched and leaned back in her chair.

“Ugh…. Haaa. It was a good broadcast today.”

It’s only been about 6 hours of broadcasting and I’m this tired, what kind of monster is the person who broadcasts for more than 10 hours a day?

‘When I think about it, Jina is really amazing.’

Unlike her, Jina had a wide range of main viewing ages.

It was evenly distributed from teens to 30s, and although not many, there were also statistics for those over 40.

In addition, the proportion of female viewers exceeds 30 percent.

Usually, in the case of broadcasts, the proportion of female viewers is less than 10 percent, so Jina’s broadcast can be said to be enjoyable for all ages and genders.

Accordingly, Jina boasts a fairly long broadcast time.

Since the main time zones of the viewers are different, she communicates by broadcasting for nearly 10 hours from 4 pm to 2 am to cover all of them.

‘Where does she get that kind of stamina? Even though it’s a broadcast with a slightly lower tension….’

People start aging after their 20s.

You can feel that your stamina is getting worse every year after you pass 25.

But seeing a person over 30 broadcasting like that, I couldn’t help but feel awe.

‘Should I ask my sister to start exercising together….’

I haven’t exercised well since high school.

Still, I didn’t gain much weight because I increased my basal metabolic rate when I was in high school, but these days, as I broadcast more and more, I feel like my stamina is decreasing and I’m gaining weight.

‘No, isn’t this average? It doesn’t look chubby….’

I was afraid to get on the scale, but since the clothes I bought three years ago are a little tight but I can wear them, it’s probably not serious.

She nodded, relieved inside.

Today’s broadcast is over, so I have to send the recorded full video to the editor.

There is a way for the editor to download and use the video himself, but the video quality and quality may be degraded.

If I use what I automatically recorded while broadcasting, I can use the quality and image quality as the original broadcast, so I was doing this.

So, when I was about to upload the video file to the shared cloud and write a chat to the editor to take care of it.

Dancing Racoon: You like songs, right?

Dancing Racoon: I’m going to JYH on my day off, so be prepared

Dancing Racoon: I’ve planned new content

JYH…?

Isn’t that a music agency?

Following Lee’s huge back, we enter the building together.

The magnificent building, with a different atmosphere from tvM, overwhelmed me.

“Is the inside a little narrow…?”

“Since the agency is not a space for filming. They make the proportion of practice rooms and recording rooms large, so there aren’t many wide floors like our broadcasting station.”

“I see.”

One person following me and Lee.

I held her hand and urged her.

“Why are you so far behind? I got permission, so it’s okay.”

“I, I know, but how can a civilian like me be here….”

Osorin, who had been shrinking her shoulders since entering the building, was trembling, looking around like a wary meerkat.

She seemed to be too nervous, so I didn’t let go of her hand and asked Lee.

“By the way, is that person really going to be our teacher?”

“You don’t have to doubt that guy’s skills. He may look light, but he writes and composes songs and is the team leader.”

“Hmm…, I see.”

The person Lee told me about.

There was a slight difference between what he explained and the image I had in mind, so I couldn’t shake off my suspicion.

As we waited for a while, a familiar figure appeared from afar.

“Seongbeom! Sua, you came too?”

“You’re late.”

“Sorry, I was watching my junior practice and it took a little longer. So is this person behind you the one you mentioned on the phone?”

Kang Wooseok saw us and smiled at Osorin, who was following behind.

She bowed, holding my hand tightly and being very nervous.

“H, Hiiii! My name is Oh Serin!”

“Hello, I’m Kang Wooseok, the vocalist of Daystar.”

“Uh…, Daystar…? C, could it be that you sang the song <It was cool>….”

“Ah yes, that’s right.”

“Oh, oh my! I’m listening to the song so well! I’m a fan!!”

When Kang Wooseok held out his hand, Osorin let go of my hand, wiped the sweat on her pants, and shook his hand with both hands.

Then, for some reason, Kang Wooseok looked at me and sent me a look that seemed to say, ‘How about it? I’m a famous person, right?’

What do you want me to do?

“This guy will help you from now on. It’s not an activity period, so you can use him as much as you want.”

“But we’re the ones asking, is that okay?”

“I have to pay for the beef I ate at the cafe last time.”

“Ah.”

If that’s the case, I can’t help it.

I have to get as much out of him as possible.

“Then, Uncle Wooseok. What should we do first?”

“Ah, uncle…? Of course, I’ll be in my 30s soon, but…. Can’t you call me oppa~?”

“Do you prefer Mr. Wooseok?”

“…Just call me Uncle Wooseok.”

“That’s fine.”

Kang Wooseok, who was instantly discouraged, pouted and grumbled.

“Uncle Wooseok, so what are we doing today?”

“…I think uncle sounds good after all? Ahem, first of all, let’s check the voice condition today. There are songs that suit each voice type. So, shall we go up to the practice room first?”

Kang Wooseok said that, issued our passes at the counter, and went inside.

This time, in order not to make the same mistake as last time, I asked Osorin to take a picture for me and quickly ran inside.

Fortunately, this time, I was able to enter without attracting people’s attention.

We took the elevator to the first basement floor.

According to him, artists who have debuted use the basement, not the ground floor.

It is a structure to prevent leakage as much as possible.

We were introduced to various facilities such as the choreography practice room and lounge in the basement, and we headed to the song practice room.

“Let’s use this place today. I reserved the practice room for a long time, including watching my junior practice earlier.”

“Isn’t this almost a band room?”

“That’s right. Band groups like us also have to practice.

Musical instruments and sound equipment placed here and there.

And even a laptop that can be mixed simply.

“Before testing, we need to set a goal. You said you’re going to sing a song and upload it to YouTube?”

“Yes, I’m going to release a cover song as a service for Solin’s fans.”

“Solin? Ah, that’s Serin’s nickname. Anyway, a cover song for fan service….”

He put his hand on his chin and thought hard about something.

Then he turned on the laptop and searched for something.

“Sua also calls her Solin, so I’ll call her Solin too. Is that okay?”

“Y, yes! It’s okay!”

“Yes, then Solin. If it’s a song for fan service, I think it should be a song that reveals your own charm or strengths.

For example, an actor who often acts in historical dramas sings a historical drama-style song, or a person who often plays the role of an old man in the countryside sings trot.

You have to distinguish the genre according to the viewing audience.”

“Viewers…. My broadcast viewers range from teens to 30s, so it’s diverse….”

“Hmm, then is there anything unique about Solin’s broadcast?”

I had already told him that she was doing internet broadcasting.

But he didn’t know exactly what kind of broadcast it was, so he asked Osorin about the characteristics of the broadcast.

“Ah, it’s not unique to my broadcast, but I think I can distinguish the genre. My kind of broadcast has a lot of Japanese culture or that kind of thing mixed in. So the viewers don’t have much resistance.”

“Japanese culture…. Like anime?”

From the beginning, Durahan broadcasts were broadcast with illustrations, so they had such a tendency.

In the meantime, as virtual broadcasting began, people who were familiar with animation began to watch the broadcast, and a new broadcasting culture was created.

“Then it would be okay to sing a cute song with an animation feel.”

“C, cute…?”

“Your voice seems to suit that genre well.”

Osorin doesn’t have a unique voice, but she has a considerably thinner voice than ordinary people.

On the broadcast, she refines her voice a little more to create a distinctive voice.

“Then, shall we sing a song you like first? It doesn’t matter what it is.”

“So, song…. I guess so…?”

“First of all, I need to know your tone. The actual speaking and tone are completely different.”

“Ugh, I don’t know if it will work because of the tension….”

Her voice was still trembling with tension.

In this state, it would be difficult to sing properly, so I decided to help.

“Uncle Wooseok, then please watch this.”

“Huh? What is it?”

“It’s when I went to karaoke with Solin.”

“…Huh? Sua?”

“You didn’t think I only filmed Solin, did you?”

“W, wait. What did I sing at the karaoke…?!”

“Then I’ll play it.”

The day I experienced great shame.

Jina and Osorin were excited, shaking tambourines and singing hard.

And like a party of insiders, they started singing R&B, ballads, hip-hop, and then other genres….

Click.

I played the video.

[Demo sonnan ja dame~ Moo sonnan ja hora~]

[Kokoro wa shinka suru yo motto motto~♡]

(TL note: lyrics from the song “Renai Circulation”)

“Kyaaaaaaaa!!!!!!”

Osorin screamed with her face red.

I’ve been waiting for this moment.
