A Lie Has Become Reality

chapter 30



30 – How about cold sweet potatoes?

Clap-

As I tapped the keyboard, the screen in front of me was filled with letters line by line.

I made up my mind to do YouTube.

Then, what should be prioritized for a successful YouTube channel operation?

Recruitment of professional personnel.

“Editor… Looking for… Come to think of it, how much should I pay?”

I plan to find a professional PD and editor at the video editing gallery, the sacred place of video editors.

The problem is that I’m new to the YouTube video editing ecosystem, so I’m currently running into a lot of difficulties in writing job postings.

How should the salary be set, how should welfare be taken care of, what editing program should be used as a condition.

It’s just vague about everything.

“Is there anyone who can help me?”

Unfortunately, the miserable human relationship held me back today without fail.

At a time like this, if I had a YouTuber among my acquaintances, I would have asked them about this and that.

As I was sweeping the back of my neck in regret, I suddenly felt a sense of incongruity.

“Huh? Come to think of it, there was only one.”

Kim Soo-hyun.

Aren’t you a YouTube creator with 1.1 Million subscribers and a well-known internet broadcaster?

The most important thing is that she is one of my few acquaintances.

Without a second thought, I went straight to ChatTalk and left a message for Suhyeon.

[Sungwoo Kim: ㅁㅎ??]

The read mark disappears less than a minute after you send the text.

It’s clear that you’ve been fiddling with your phone all day.

It wasn’t long before I was amazed at the phenomenal text confirmation speed, and soon my phone vibrated.

[Soohyun: I’m lying down right now hahahaha What do you mean by pre-talk? hahahahaha]

[Sungwoo Kim: Can I ask you something?]

[Suhyeon: That’s right… What is it??]

[Kim Seong-woo: I’m trying to start YouTube, but there are so many things that get stuck hahahaha Can you help me?]

Why is there no answer all of a sudden? Apparently the read mark is gone.

While passing the time staring blankly at the screen, a reply arrived with a familiar vibration.

[Kim Soo-hyun: Really? You want to start YouTube?]

[Kim Soo-hyun: (Fox surprised emoticon)]

He smiled and tapped his phone to send a reply.

[Sungwoo Kim: ㅇㅇ Let’s start in earnest. Can’t you meet me and help me when the time comes?]

[Suhyun: Right now?]

[Kim Seong-woo: Is it okay today?]

[Soohyun: I’m on break anyway, so I have time… ]

I have no intention of postponing the establishment of a YouTube channel.

As long as the decision is the election, wouldn’t it be nice to see the end of everything today.

That’s why I pushed the meeting with Suhyeon all the more.

[Kim Seong-woo: I’m in a hurry, how can I not?]

[Sungwoo Kim: (Cat begging emoticon)]

[Soohyun: hahahahaha]

[Soohyun: Where should I look?]

[Sungwoo Kim: Do you want to see me at my house?]

[Soohyun: Are you serious?]

[Sungwoo Kim: ㅇㅇ]

Of course I’m sincere.

It’s not because it’s troublesome to prepare to go out.

Looking at Suhyeon’s reaction, it seems that she doesn’t hate her too much.

Since the distance is quite close, it is a proposal that is not bad for each other.

[Soohyun: Okay~ Are you preparing now?]

[Voice actor: ㄱㄱ]

That’s how the meeting to take the first step of opening a YouTube channel came true.

****

It must have been a long time since I took a break.

Weing-

At the same time as the phone vibrated, a text message notification from ChatTalk was exposed at the top of the screen.

[Sungwoo Kim: ㅁㅎ??]

I was startled and got up from my seat and sat down on the bed with a disheveled look.

To think that Seongwoo Kim of the world sent a text message first. Is this possible?

He replied that he was lying down resting, moving his hands hurriedly and pretending nothing was wrong.

[Sungwoo Kim: Can I ask you something?]

“Cee… “

That’s right.

I am an asshole for expecting something sweet from Kim Seong-woo.

He let out a deep sigh and asked what I was asking for.

[Kim Seong-woo: I’m trying to start YouTube, but there are so many things that get in the way lol Can you help me?]

YouTube? Who is Kim Seong-woo?

I stared at the screen dumbfounded at the unexpected and sudden remark.

Is Kim Seong-woo a YouTuber, is it an illusion that he seems to fit in strangely well?

Hasn’t his name value, which was originally high due to his recent appearance in ‘I Live Alone’, soared into the sky through the ceiling?

When Sungwoo Kim started YouTube in earnest, he began to be curious about what kind of content he would compose.

You’re not kidding, are you? He asked if he was serious.

[Sungwoo Kim: Let’s start in earnest. When the time comes, can’t we meet and help?]

Oh. I guess it’s sincere.

It’s not difficult to meet and help.

‘Can we meet right now?’

I shifted my gaze from the phone screen to the mirror hanging on the opposite wall.

Fluffy hair, crumbly skin, and a face that is smeared with fatigue.

I didn’t wake up from my sleep and didn’t look like I was going out somewhere.

I was going to send a text message saying that today is going to be difficult.

[Sungwoo Kim: I’m in a hurry, how can I not?]

[Sungwoo Kim: (Cat begging emoticon)]

Even emoticons that I don’t normally use are used to beg, so why should I refuse?

‘Come to think of it, I haven’t met a voice actor recently.’

On the day we met Seongwoo Kim for a real estate contract, we confirmed our feelings for each other over dinner.

But reality is not a drama.

The comfortable development of developing into a romantic relationship immediately after simply confirming a crush does not happen in reality.

The time we met is short, and above all, isn’t Kim Seong-woo’s background a bit special?

When it comes to dating, you will be more cautious and cautious than the average person.

‘That’s why it’s a little hard to push… ‘

Kim Seong-woo is a viewer of my broadcast, and also a big hand in sponsoring a huge amount.

Above all, isn’t there a giant named Taewoong Group standing behind him?

Of course, I have a crush on Kim Seong-woo, but I didn’t want my feelings to be seen as something snobbish.

That’s why he didn’t show my feelings even more. I hope that someday the relationship will progress naturally.

‘Let’s go and see the voice actor’s face after a long time.’

He moved his fingers again, holding back a laugh that burst out.

Since the answer was already decided, he asked him where to meet.

[Sungwoo Kim: Do you want to see me at my house?]

Did I get it wrong?

I blinked and shook my head.

No matter how many times I checked, it was clear that Seongwoo Kim was asking me to meet him at his house.

I wondered if it was sent by mistake, so I checked again to see if it was sincere, but the reply that came back was the same.

It must have been said without much thought, but I laughed out loud at just one text message.

How long has it been since you laughed like this?

I finished getting ready to go out after a long time.

****

“So, you’re saying this is what you wrote down as your own channel name?”

I was the flagship.

Kim Seong-woo’s naming sense was more disastrous than expected.

“Hot Whirlwind Potato, Major Shareholder of Nuclear Charges, Black Soft Cow King, Royal Home Security Officer, Alpha Male, Hickey in the corner of a conglomerate, Assa King, Yawn Jwa, Black Cow Hyung…… “

These are unusual names.

Honestly, it’s funny. It was to the point where I had a hard time holding back my laughter when I saw the names written at the beginning.

Especially…

“Puh, what the hell is a cold sweet potato?”

“Not good? Isn’t it funny?”

“It’s funny, but… the concept of your voice actor channel isn’t a gag.”

It’s supposed to be funny.

However, the YouTube channel name literally symbolizes the channel.

If the concept of the channel itself was planned as a gag, it would be a great channel name, but if not, it will only backfire.

“I think the only good ones are three of these?”

“Hmm… “

‘Wise Chaebol Life’, ‘Potato TV’, ‘Kim Seong-woo_Official’.

At least, these three were all normal names.

As for the voice actor, he looked vaguely at the channel name he wrote down one after another.

Honestly, as soon as I saw the cold sweet potato, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“How about the official Kim Seong-woo?”

“Is that the safest thing to do?”

“Yes, as a voice actor, your name is so well known that it is neat to just use your real name.”

“How do you set the editor’s salary? Is it normal to do it per case? Or a paycheck?”

“Generally, it is a per-case payment. Channel revenue is not always constant.”

YouTube editor’s income varies greatly depending on which channel the editor is.

Since editors are also freelancers after all, salaries are set according to skills and performance.

Of course, if the scale of the channel is large, there are cases where the editor is hired as an employee.

However, this guy Seongwoo Kim in front of me is out of the question.

“You, voice actor, are not trying to make money.”

“Isn’t it?”

“If you plan to grow the channel first, wouldn’t it be better to set up a business operator and organize it as a team?”

“I think the operator will be fine. You can just post it as a Leon Play employee.”

I forgot.

The fact that Sungwoo Kim is the CEO of a game company.

Looking at Kim Seong-wu, who was writing a job offer, giggling as if he had roughly drawn the outline, he smiled.

“Voice actor, have you thought about the contents?”

“Me? Of course it is.”

Kim Seong-wu’s eyes bent at my question.

“Wonderful content.”
