*Fantasia.*
A virtual YouTuber project led by broadcasting giant *Daramji.*
- "Is the 'youth president' really becoming a VTuber? Is this for real?"
ㄴ "Don’t resist it—VTubers are the trend of the tis."
ㄴ "And so are your mom’s tears!"
ㄴ "Why are you being so harsh?"
- "A few years back, they milked kids’ money with Minecraft, and now it’s VTubers draining the pockets of their grown-up fans."
ㄴ "Well, those kids are now those grown-up fans."
ㄴ "Once hooked, they’re hooked for life, haha."
ㄴ "Building up the hype—legendary!"
The project began just as the concept of "VTubers" started to gain mainstream attention, drawing imnse interest right from the recruitnt phase.
So of this interest was undeniably negative, but most attention toward *Fantasia* focused on pure curiosity about its mbers. Originally planned for four mbers, the project expanded to five due to the extraordinary talents who auditioned. Despite this being *Daramji's* first virtual YouTuber project, they didn’t increase the number lightly.
- "*Daramji:* Honestly, every chance I get, I talk about *Fantasia.*"
ㄴ "She said she’s breaking her savings for it—cheers!"
ㄴ "If it fails, she's done for!"
ㄴ "(Insert broke )"
- "The *Fantasia* PV quality is insane!"
ㄴ "It’s outsourced to Japan, so the fras are super smooth."
ㄴ "VTubing did originate in Japan."
ㄴ "*Prism Live,* prepare yourself—!!"
ㄴ "We’re doing Korea vs. Japan even with VTubers now?"
- "*Daramji* just said 'calm before the storm' on stream, lol."
ㄴ "Wow."
ㄴ "Who's the rookie now, huh?"
ㄴ "Whoa, let’s not go there."
Every ti *Daramji* teased new details about *Fantasia* on her stream, online communities buzzed with anticipation. Both she and her MCN (Multi-Channel Network) kept up aggressive marketing.
So, as the PV showcasing *Fantasia's* mbers was released, and especially after "Cream" and "Mile" successfully debuted the previous night...
- "Ugh, this is such a tease—why not debut them all at once?"
ㄴ "*Daramji:* Too much goodness too fast, and you’ll get indigestion."
ㄴ "I don’t care! Let in, now!"
ㄴ "Whoa, calm down."
- "But seriously, who is 'Dia'? Cream and Mile act like she’s so kind of goddess."
ㄴ "She’s the youngest, so they’re just taking care of her."
ㄴ "No, they’re treating her like a literal deity."
- "From her avatar and profile, *Dia* has to be a pro."
ㄴ "It’s like she perfectly knows the VTuber fans’ tastes."
ㄴ "Could she secretly be *Daramji* herself?"
ㄴ "*Narrator:* 'This is why observant kids are a problem…'"
Interest in *Fantasia* skyrocketed, with *Dia,* the third debut and only solo debut mber, drawing particular attention. Even before her stream began, she had hit 3,000 viewers—numbers Cream and Mile had only achieved after they started streaming.
The *Fantasia* team, including *Daramji,* was especially attentive to *Dia.* As a famous actress, *Dia’s* real-life identity was well-known, and the fact that soone of her status had aced the audition to join *Fantasia* had only fueled public intrigue.
"This isn’t sothing you can miss."
For those in the industry, watching *Fantasia’s* streams was less leisure and more research. However, interest in *Dia’s* debut wasn’t purely out of curiosity.
In terms of business, *Dia’s* debut held significant weight. She needed to sustain the excitent Cream and Mile had generated and pass it on to the next debuting mbers. Put simply, *Fantasia's* success hinged on *Dia.*
“Think she’ll do well?”
Despite her trust in Ha-eun, *Daramji* (Hye-min) couldn’t shake her nerves as she prepared to monitor *Dia’s* stream live, as she’d promised.
“You’re not supposed to worry about celebrities.”
“She’s not just any celebrity to . She’s D.A.—she’s been watching my streams since she was seven!”
“Who decided to make that seven-year-old debut solo?”
“Ugh, that’s not the point!”
Even as Dong-jin, sitting beside her, teased her, Hye-min stayed visibly anxious. She’d been nervous before Cream and Mile’s debut, but she was even more on edge with *Dia.*
However, regardless of Hye-min’s trembling or Dong-jin’s bemused head shakes…
- "She’s here, she’s here!"
- "The strear’s live!"
- "Aaaaaah!"
- "Let's goooo!"
- "Dia!"
The mont finally arrived as *Dia’s* avatar peeked into the stream fra after her PV video ended.
With her face now set in an even more serious expression, Hye-min listened to *Dia’s* opening line.
"Hello there─!!"
“Pfft?!”
It was enough to make Hye-min spit out her coffee.

**RP (Role-Playing).**
One of the most basic elents in a VTuber stream.
For Ha-eun to fully imrse herself as *Dia* in her debut stream, sticking to her character’s RP was essential.
So, what kind of RP did Ha-eun need to maintain?
It was simply this:
“Talking casually from the start? Impressive! What’s casual, anyway?”
The innocence of a spirit newly arrived in the human world.
As a "spirit," *Dia* knew nothing about human society, and the people watching her stream were just friendly visitors, not strangers requiring formal courtesy.
“Hm? How old am I, you ask? I’m one year old─☆”
- Gasp
- Hands off the keyboard, everyone!!!
- Love this energy!
- Who’s the creepy dude offering snacks?
- Ultimate baby vibes
While Cream and Mile had chosen to speak formally, Ha-eun opted for the opposite.
The standards of a pure spirit like *Dia* couldn’t be asured by human norms.
“So, do I have a boyfriend? Oh, of course I do☆”
- *Gasp*
-
- *Dia,* I’m dying, help
- Take to a do concert too!
- Do concert s intensify
- "I wasn’t aware I escaped singleness, lol"
Even the typical taboo question about having a boyfriend was effortlessly rephrased, as *Dia* revealed the “truth” to her viewers. For a spirit like her, honesty was the only way.
Instead of forcing politeness or catering to viewers, *Dia* presented herself naturally, allowing her viewers to feel nothing but authenticity.
- "Her avatar is so pretty."
- "Easily 100 invested here."
- "*Daramji* really broke the bank for this one, haha."
"My body is a gift from a kind mage! They wanted to show how fun the human world is."

: "Have you t the other mbers?"
“The other mbers? Oh, I think I heard voices from afar. I’ll go check it out later─☆”
Questions about her avatar or the other mbers were all answered from *Dia’s* innocent perspective.
She continued fielding viewer questions until it was ti to move to the next part of her debut plan.
“Hey, everyone. Would it be okay if I call you *Noeulies*?”
She introduced the fan na she had chosen for her viewers.
“Every ti I et a beautiful sunset, it makes happy.”
[TIFH has donated 20,000 won!]
: "So you’ll feel happy eting your viewers every ti?"
“Yeah! I don’t think anything would make happier than seeing you all!”
- Pure-hearted GOAT
- She really is the god of innocence
- Emotional overload
- *Dia,* I’m about to cry
- Don’t ruin this with cynicism! (deleted ssage)
With the fan na *Noeulies* established, she moved on to discussing her personal preferences and stream rules.

The scene she had dread of for so long had finally co true, making her usual calm disappear.
