Chapter 76: VTuber Recruitment

[Yes, well….]

[I’ll start the broadcast. It’s been a long time, everyone.]

[But what is this? I didn’t broadcast, so why have the viewers increased?]

[You guys were waiting for me to turn on the broadcast? You guys are tsunderes even though you swear at me every day.]

-This crazy b*tch finally lost her mind after resting

-WhyareyoulateWhyareyoulateWhyareyoulateWhyareyoulateWhyareyoulateWhyareyoulateWhyareyoulate

-You’re just going to do this for a few hours and then leave anyway

-You’re not quitting broadcasting, are you?

-Why isn’t the cam on

[Cam? My face isn’t in a good state today. So just look at my character.]

[And I’ll be broadcasting more often than before. Don’t worry too much. I had something busy until now, but it’s finished now.]

[I feel like I’m going to die because of that. So I’m going to do a short broadcast today and leave. I’ll be broadcasting longer and more often from the next broadcast, so please refrain from swearing.]

-What bullsh*t 

-I was fooled again….

-What the hell were you doing that kept you busy for so long

-I’ll trust you one last time

-What happened?

[Well, I guess I have to tell you so you guys will understand? Actually, I didn’t tell you until now because I was planning a surprise.]

[I feel like I should drag this out a bit….]

[Ah, whatever. Just watch.]

[(Jina’s virtual avatar appears on the screen) Ta-da.]

[I made a virtual avatar too.]

-???

-What is this

-No, aunt, how old are you to have such a beautiful girl avatar…

-Did you spend all this time making this and barely broadcasting?

-Has Jina become a trend follower now?

-The quality is good though

[The quality is good, right? I spent a lot of money making this. It moves smoothly like this, and I can make various expressions like this.]

[Here, you can see the armpits and belly button you guys like. Oh my, how vulgar. You perverts.]

[It’s a rare opportunity to show everything like this, so look carefully while you can.]

-Who made this? They know what’s good

-I acknowledge that you didn’t broadcast until now

-Ugh, cringe

-She’s showing it herself and then complaining

-Wow~

-This is it..

-It’s cute and well-made, is this 30s?

-But honestly, it’s strange that you didn’t broadcast to make this, you didn’t even make it yourself

-That’s true

[Of course I didn’t make it. I outsourced this. There’s no way I can do this.]

[Actually, this isn’t the surprise. I made a new plan this time.]

[Hmm, is it not a plan? Anyway, it’s similar to the rookie rescue plan I’ve been doing regularly.]

[So I’m going to film a YouTube promotion video, so you guys just chat, okay?]

[Ahem, hem!]

-Oh! The plan that produced the best rookie rescue output, Osorin, is coming back?!

-It hasn’t started yet

-As expected, deep-sea rescue is the great Jina.

-Please, I hope many fun people come out this time

-Right, it’s always just singing

-Everyone be quiet, it’s starting now

-Hello

-Hello

[Hello, everyone. This is Jina!]

[I plan to do the content I’ve been doing regularly again.]

[But this time, let’s change the scale.]

[I established a company this time. You could call it an MCN, but it’s a slightly different method.]

[Instead of supporting existing broadcasters, I plan to take a system that nurtures broadcasters from the beginning.]

[And those who start with our company will start broadcasting with a virtual avatar of the same quality as the one I’m moving now.]

[Our company not only supports simple broadcasting and virtual avatars, but also includes everything that existing MCNs support, and we plan to periodically produce personal albums and goods.]

[If I had to say, I think it’s closer to an entertainment agency and idols.]

[The application requirements are as follows. Any adult woman! Unfortunately, it seems difficult for men yet.]

[Experience doesn’t matter. Whether you’ve broadcasted or not, it doesn’t matter at all. So please feel free to apply!]

[Breaking News) A VTuber company finally appears in our country]

(Screenshot of Jina’s YouTube notice)

Jina said she made a VTuber company as the president

The company name is said to be ‘Byeolmuri’

Judging by what she’s saying, it seems like she’s trying to do something similar to Japanese VTuber companies?

——————————

-They’re doing this in Korea

-Isn’t Japan not that famous yet either?

└It’s quite popular in Japan, it just hasn’t spread to Korea

-She hasn’t been broadcasting much recently, was it because of this?

-It seems like it’s the national rule for large corporation broadcasters to create companies

└Gotta prepare for retirement

└Right 

[Damn it, why aren’t men allowed]

Why are they only hiring women!!!

——————————

-Do you watch male VTubers?

└Why would I watch something like that

└Why would they hire men then, idiot

-Go to Thailand and get it done

└If you have this kind of dedication, they’ll hire you right away

-I wanted to be born as a woman…!

[They even made an official website?]

(Link to the official website)

It seems like they’re really planning to do it

For now, there’s only the application page and the company direction written

——————————

-The representative’s name is Kim Jina Jina’s nickname is so lazy

└Didn’t you know?

-It’s so awkward to see CEO attached to Jina’s name

-Look at the affiliated companies, the lineup is amazing?

└VIVEX and H.Y. are involved in the avatar work, that’s crazy

└What’s that, otaku

└It’s annoying to explain in detail, just know that they’re the people who made Osorin’s avatar

└For reference, H.Y. is a world-famous illustrator

[Submitted the application]

I really hope I get accepted

Please let this be the turning point of my loser life

——————————

-Men are not allowed

└I’m a woman

-I’m still thinking, is it right to recklessly join a new small and medium-sized enterprise

└That’s true

└A social newbie might just waste time by joining recklessly

-Hawawa, I’m a high school girl, so I just applied because I’m attending university, if I get accepted, I can just drop out^^

└Kids attending university seem to be the safest bet

[Are they really planning to raise them like idols?]

I watch Japanese VTubers

But honestly, every time the idol move comes out, it’s just annoying;;

They should just play games, but they always say “I’m pure~” and act pretty and cute, it makes me not want to watch them

There are quite a few Korean VTubers who use Japanese names and say they’re idols

I wish they would raise them completely as streamers like Osorin, not idols

——————————

-Honestly, I agree with this

-It’s probably because the idol culture is different, if you look at the Japanese underground idol culture, you’ll understand

-I find that more fun though

└It’s funny when the concept breaks sometimes 

└Honestly, they probably don’t sincerely think they’re idols either

-You’re a woman

└Why do you ask if I’m a woman whenever I talk badly about women

└It’s the official formula, women hate women, idiot

-It’s okay when Japanese people do it, but it’s a little cringey when Korean VTubers do it

└I can’t watch Korean ones either

“Thank you for your hard work!”

Late at night, long after the sun had set.

The customers went home, and the woman who remained with the president until the end washing dishes greeted him cheerfully.

She spoke with a slightly slurred pronunciation, but the president saw her off with a nice bright smile.

It was a dark alley, but it’s okay because there are streetlights.

It’s only a 30-minute walk home, so I just need to walk hard.

I could buy a bicycle or ride a shared kickboard, but that all costs money.

You have to save money.

I try to think positively because I can take care of my health every day.

‘I won’t collapse from overwork, will I…?’

Hey, I’m still young, so that won’t happen.

There must be many people in this world who live harder lives than me.

After walking for a long time, she came back home, sat on the bed without turning on the lights, and rested her sore legs.

Anyway, thanks to the streetlight next to the window, the house wasn’t dark even without turning on the lights.

The bad thing is that sometimes drunkards or cats pee on the window.

Since it’s a basement apartment, I have to endure such things.

I can’t fall asleep like this.

I barely get up, wash my body with cold water in a drowsy state, and wash off the smell of meat that has seeped into my body.

Enduring the shivering body, I quickly wash up, wrap my long hair with a towel, and dive into the bed covers.

“Is there anything to watch on YouTube?”

I woke up for a moment because of the cold water bath.

To utilize the time until I fall asleep again, she often watched YouTube videos before falling asleep.

And among them, she often watched VTuber YouTube videos.

While refreshing YouTube to see the newly uploaded videos, Jina’s video was recommended at the top.

“VTuber recruitment?”

VTuber recruitment.

Because of that title, she played the video without realizing it.

Broadcaster Jina, whom she had heard of, is starting a VTuber company.

Seeing that content, she suddenly stopped her hand and fell into thought.

‘VTuber…. Do they make a lot of money…?’

She was quite interested in VTubers and broadcasting.

And when she occasionally watched broadcasts, she sometimes saw people casually donating amounts that she would have to work all day to earn.

Whenever that happened, she wanted to try broadcasting too, but her situation was limited to a budget smartphone 1GB plan.

There was no money to pay for a computer and internet fees.

‘…Should I try applying?’

According to the explanation in the video, all the expenses needed to start a VTuber were supported.

If it works out, maybe I can contribute a little to the university tuition?

There were stories that famous VTubers in Japan earn a million yen a month.

It would be nice if I could earn even a million won.

‘But would it be okay even if I’m not Korean?’

That bothered her, but her hands were already filling out the application form.

What do I have to lose?

Since it was an online document, she liked that it didn’t cost money for application forms or postage.
