Chapter 30: Proper Start
The day of the first ‘Hack Tour’ content broadcast.
Even though there was still so ti left before the start, Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol had already gathered.
Unlike Baek Woohyun who literally just had to play the ga, they needed to not only communicate with viewers but also look after various matters.
They had to adjust broadcast settings one last ti, and also talk with the broadcast cara operator who existed due to the nature of the broadcast format.
It ant it was sowhat inevitable that the two gathered first.
However, that didn’t an Baek Woohyun didn’t co. He had also gathered around the sa ti. He just wasn’t visible because he was in ‘Reverse Planet,’ not here.
“By the way, will it really be okay?”
“Huh? What will?”
In the midst of moving busily, at Cha Seongcheol’s sudden words, Jeong Nayeon asked back.
“Hackphysical said whatever conversation we have here is fine, but we really can’t do that. We should appropriately be careful.”
“Ah, that—”
Jeong Nayeon chuckled.
She understood Cha Seongcheol’s worry. She caught on to what he ant too.
But because she was soone with long friendship with Baek Woohyun, she also knew that worry was ultimately aningless.
She spoke toward Cha Seongcheol with an expression of needless worry.
“I’m not joking, you really don’t need to worry. To put it bluntly, that guy Woohyun wouldn’t even care what we say here.”
“Is that so?”
“Unless we curse his parents or sothing… but you’re not going to do that, right?”
“That’s right. There’s no way I would. Haha.”
Cha Seongcheol, who burst into laughter at Jeong Nayeon’s joke, added “He must originally have that kind of personality.”
Hearing those words, Jeong Nayeon’s expression beca awkward.
‘Originally that kind of personality…’
Thinking as a friend who had spent quite a long ti together, Baek Woohyun wasn’t originally that kind of personality.
Of course, it was true he had a tendency to be sowhat indifferent to other people’s opinions. But he didn’t regard them as worthless to this degree.
He was just at the level of not accepting other people’s opinions on things he’d sincerely resolved to do, not to the extent of not having even a trace of interest in people talking about him like now.
…Until recently, it had certainly been that way.
‘What on earth happened for him to change like that.’
It wasn’t simply talking about personality change.
That he beca trendously good at gas enough to be misunderstood as a hacker, and also changed considerably in appearance—actually in the latter case, Jeong Nayeon was secretly satisfied!
What had happened to Baek Woohyun to have such trendous change was still a mystery. She could only wait, thinking he’d tell her when the ti ca.
“It’s about ti.”
As they prepared while having various conversations like that, before they knew it all the remaining leisure had disappeared, and the start ti had approached.
Having finished preparations, Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol sat in chairs set up inside the studio and properly started the broadcast.
After pressing the broadcast start button, they watched viewers pouring in from the waiting screen.
-Oh, door opened
-Finally… at last…
-Look at how fast viewer count rises ????
-Was just waiting for the notification
-If Hackphysical isn’t here after this it’d really be trouble
Perhaps thanks to announcing the broadcast in advance.
In less than just a few minutes, the viewer count broke through two thousand. It wasn’t even stopping there but kept steadily increasing.
Considering the fact that this ‘Hack Tour’ content was essentially content relying on Hackphysical, Baek Woohyun’s buzz, all of them coming to see him was basically the sa.
Indirectly proving he alone had the power to draw thousands of viewers!
Of course, about thirteen hundred of them were viewers who originally watched Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol, but even excluding that, it was undeniable it was a trendous number.
However, as ti passed, the montum of viewers entering clearly weakened.
In any case, since the hack controversy was close to a past topic, they couldn’t expect the sa power as the clarification broadcast that had gathered tens of thousands with one broadcast.
Moreover, the clarification broadcast was close to a cheat key from the start, so it was natural. Because it was a combination of hack controversy plus an operator.
‘Still, this much is sufficiently beyond expectations.’
Jeong Nayeon, who grinned and looked at Cha Seongcheol, noticed he was also thinking the sa.
She’d dare assert the ‘Hack Tour’ content had considerable potential. The kind of potential that could make those two people into major corporations.
Nod.
After looking at each other and bobbing heads, they switched the broadcast screen.
From the waiting screen to the studio where the two people were.
“Jeongha~ Hello everyone! I’m Jeong Nayeon!”
“Nice to et you, viewers. I’m Cha Seongcheol.”
-What, why two people??
-Where’s Hackphysical
-Fuck I knew it, scamd again
-I caught on it was a lie when Kang Soyul wasn’t there lol there are kids who fell for this lol
At the sight of only Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol, viewers imdiately vomited anger asking if they lied.
Already opinions had been divided over whether Hackphysical would appear or if it was just aggro, and the broadcast started yet there were only two people, so it was understandable.
Several impatient viewers even spewed profanities, but Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol didn’t care. Because they’d been aiming for this reaction from the start.
How could they not know what viewers would say if shown a studio without Baek Woohyun?
Of course they knew. Also that several quick-tempered ones would spew profanities. Since they too were personal broadcasters who had broadcast for quite a long ti, it was natural.
Yet they deliberately showed the studio with only two people first for reversal effect.
Because showing it when people think you’re just talking without him would allow starting content more effectively than just showing him blankly.
“Ah. Don’t be too hasty, everyone. You should at least hear the story.”
Jeong Nayeon continued speaking while gently soothing viewers.
“To know why Hackphysical isn’t here now, you first need to know his personality.”
-Hmm…
-Let’s hear it
-What excuse are you making?
-Just shut up and listen
“He originally dislikes botherso things, and doesn’t like noisy chattering either. He doesn’t particularly want attention from people.”
To be clear, she shrugged saying it wasn’t a personality suited for personal broadcasting.
“So might say ‘What are you talking about, he appeared on the clarification broadcast’—but I’ll clearly tell you using this opportunity. If I hadn’t persuaded him, he probably wouldn’t have appeared?”
Jeong Nayeon wasn’t making up nonsense. Actually, even after Baek Woohyun learned about the controversy surrounding him, he had thought ‘Do I need to deal with this?’
Later Kang Soyul’s invitation would have co so he wouldn’t have been completely unaware of the controversy, but still, he clearly wouldn’t have thought he needed to appear on a clarification broadcast to clear his false accusation.
The probability was high he would have ignored it reasoning that since he was just playing gas alone anyway, whatever anyone said had nothing to do with him.
“In the first place, until I contacted him, he didn’t even know a hack controversy happened because of him. To him it was too natural a thing to think it would beco a controversy.”
-???: I think it’s absurd that even sothing like this becos a controversy
-Why is it a controversy? To
it’s natural?
-Controversy because physicality is too amazing ????
-Thinking about it now, it is funny lololol
“Then Jeong Nayeon-ssi, you’re essentially one of the two people who revealed Hackphysical to the world.”
“Yes, sothing like that.”
At Cha Seongcheol’s words chiming in from the side, Jeong Nayeon nodded.
The other person was naturally Kang Soyul.
If he hadn’t been accidentally caught on her broadcast, Baek Woohyun would still be unknown.
Of course, an awl in a pocket is bound to pop out soday, and Baek Woohyun would have too, so him being revealed was a matter of ti, but anyway.
‘Leader’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[So where exactly is Hackphysical?]
“As I ntioned earlier, he’s not here. Because he’s quite shy.”
-???
-Then what exactly are you trying to do
-How long will you hide him fuck
-If not here, is he sowhere else?
“That’s right. He’s not here, but sowhere else.”
Jeong Nayeon grinned and clapped her hands.
Then the neatly decorated studio changed, and a forest filled with dense trees appeared.
Along with Baek Woohyun standing alone blankly.
-It’s Hackphysical!
-He was inside RePla
-Kick out all those who said aggro!
-In the midst of that he spins the dagger so well ??
Although Baek Woohyun wore a mask due to personal information mode, since the shape was identical plus his unique atmosphere was added, viewers quickly recognized him.
Several who were uncertain were quickly swept along since many viewers insisted it was Hackphysical.
As Hackphysical, Baek Woohyun, directly revealed himself like that, claims that it was just aggro lost power and died down.
In a situation where Baek Woohyun was right before their eyes, claiming they lied when he wasn’t there would only beco stupid talk, so it was natural.
Swish swish.
Baek Woohyun in the forest was spending ti spinning a military knife round and round in his hand, and that appearance looked extrely skilled.
No, it was beyond skilled to the point of being amazing. Because the military dagger was wriggling as if alive, trying to escape his grip.
Not only viewers, but even Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol who should be conducting the broadcast looked at the military knife as if entranced for a mont, which said it all.
‘Oh, this isn’t the ti for this.’
Jeong Nayeon ca to her senses around when Baek Woohyun properly gripped the military dagger.
She opened her mouth as if nothing happened.
“What do you think people were most curious about after Hackphysical appeared? What do you think, Seongcheol-nim?”
“Um— in my opinion, I think people would be most curious how soone with this monster-like physicality plays ‘Reverse Planet.'”
-Right right
-???? I am curious
-Seems like he’d be playing a different ga from
-Showing impossible difficulty!
“‘Hack Tour’ content is content prepared to answer exactly that question.”
However, just ending there would be no different from other personal broadcasts. Since broadcaster playing gas and viewers watching is the sa for any personal broadcast.
To differentiate from this, and to comply with Baek Woohyun’s demands, Jeong Nayeon brought the observational variety format.
Actually the latter reason was biggest, but anyway.
“Let’s calmly observe Hackphysical’s ‘Reverse Planet’ with comntary from comntator Cha Seongcheol here.”
“I look forward to working with you, everyone.”
-Ah so that’s why
-I get why they were separate from Hackphysical
-Observational variety on personal broadcast ????
-That’s why they brought in comntary
Cha Seongcheol, who naturally chid in, bowed his head toward the cara.
Only then did viewers seem to realize ‘Hack Tour’ content followed observational variety format.
Even though it was a format hard to easily see in personal broadcasts, there seed to be few who felt it unfamiliar.
That made sense, because observational variety reigned so mainstream in Korean variety that the arrangent dividing studio and broadcast content was familiar and easy to accept.
“Alright! Then shall we properly start now?”
Jeong Nayeon, who had been checking chat window public opinion, smiled brightly and said.
It was the proper start of ‘Hack Tour’ content.
