【Today, there’s a collaboration with a super special guest!】 – 7 hours ago
Today, we have a collaboration scheduled with a super special guest that no one could have imagined.
They’re such a valuable person that I never even thought about inviting them….
But they expressed their willingness to appear first, so we’re having this meaningful opportunity together.
So, I plan to start a bit early around 5 PM today to chat with the viewers.
See you later!
– Who could the super special guest be?
n Seo-ha is coming, right?
n If it’s Seo-ha, then it would definitely be a super special guest, lol.
n If you look at the first line, it doesn’t seem to be Seo-ha, though.
n Then who could it possibly be?
– Is Exit coming?
n I don’t think Exit is coming because he has an ad today.
n Then I honestly have no idea, haha.
– Don’t tell me it’s Chairman coming?
n Lol, I doubt that, haha.
n Why would the Chairman come here, haha.
n Just look at how lost they are, throwing out random guesses, haha.
Reading the comments on the announcement I posted a bit early today, I couldn’t help but smile wryly.
It seems that even though the guest of my broadcast feels set in stone, everyone was guessing hard because I put ‘a super special guest that no one can imagine’ in the first line.
It’s surprising that someone managed to get somewhat close. Of course, I doubt they were serious; it was probably said half-jokingly, but still, I have a strong feeling that it’s going to be a legendary comment.
“Ha, why suddenly decide to appear on the broadcast….”
“Do you really dislike me appearing on broadcasts that much?”
“I’m not saying I care about you appearing, but it just makes Uju uncomfortable for no reason.”
“Oh, no. It’s definitely uncomfortable.”
With that, I closed my phone and began to break up the fierce standoff between the Ryu siblings, sweating profusely.
Honestly, if you ask me if I’m comfortable or uncomfortable, I’d say it’s a little uncomfortable. If my older brother were just an ordinary person, I’d think of it as just part of some fun content, but given his identity….
“So, did you get permission from Dad? You didn’t just say you’d appear without telling anyone, right?”
“Of course I did. What do you take me for? Do you think I act so thoughtlessly?”
“……”
I’m sorry, brother. To be honest, I suspected that a little.
Not to the extent of thinking it was rude, but I thought he’d plan to appear with a mindset like, ‘I can appear without consulting the company or father-in-law.’
“My dear, my dear.”
“Yes, our princess. Do you need something from your uncle?”
“Yeah, I just missed you, uncle.”
“Oh my, really? Our princess, where did you learn such pretty words?”
As expected, thanks to Joo-ha, the atmosphere-maker of our family and living vitamin, the fierce ambiance started to lighten up.
“Sorry, honey. It must have been hard for you to refuse…. If it’s difficult, you could have just told me.”
“Difficult? No way, it’s fine. On the contrary, I’m glad my brother offered me the opportunity.”
On the other hand, my wife still seemed to think that my brother’s presence would be a burden on my broadcast, approaching me with a look of shame and a somber tone.
However, from my perspective, it wasn’t such a bother, so I waved my hand dismissively.
In any case, in internet broadcasts or YouTube, the most important thing is to hook the audience—grab their attention. And having my brother, the vice-chairman of Changseong Group and the next chairman, would undoubtedly draw immense interest.
So, of course, positive aspects arise, but even knowing that, I couldn’t simply ask my brother, ‘Would you like to appear on my broadcast?’
Given those circumstances, it’s actually a blessing that he suggested it first.
Although it was surprising how it all happened so quickly without any chance to refuse.
“I said we’re starting at 5 today, right?”
“Yes, brother.”
“Then we should start getting ready. Little brother, go fetch some snacks we can munch on while broadcasting.”
At my words, my brother subtly rose from his seat, giving my wife a chore. His tone was so commanding that I felt like laughing, but my wife was just as audacious.
“Why should I? I’m only bringing food for my husband. If you want something, go get it yourself.”
At this point, I had to worry if there was going to be a cold war, but what was even funnier was,
“Ugh, so annoying… Hey, brother-in-law, is there any snacks?”
“Yes? Oh, over there on the top shelf….”
“Oh, look, there are a lot of things I like. Gonna snag just one for conscience’s sake.”
As if he predicted that, my brother stood up and headed right to grab snacks. No matter how rich the family, sibling relationships really are the same everywhere.
“Don’t eat too much since we’ll have to eat dinner later.”
“Okay.”
And it was pretty funny watching my wife scold my brother like a mother. It felt like watching a sitcom.
Anyway, we each got a reasonable amount of snacks and headed to the workspace.

『‘Cosmo’ has started broadcasting.』
‘Collaboration with a super special guest’
Not long after the broadcast started, viewers began entering at what felt like twice the normal speed. I guess it was because of all the buzz created by the advance notice.
【Kokkiyaho】- Koha
【I’m Telling The Teacher】- Kohakohak
【Crescendo】- Who’s the guest?
Since the cam was off, some people couldn’t guess who the guest was right away and started questioning the identity of the guest the moment they arrived. There are really a lot of impatient people out there.
“Hello, everyone. Today, as I mentioned earlier, we will be collaborating with a super special guest. The cam is off for a reason, so keep that in mind.”
【K-HipHopTopCosmo】- Just for reference, haha.
【Hahyanghayanghae】- You’re just testing the waters again.
【Lucid Dream 7】- Just show us already!!!!
Uh, no way. How could I easily show such a precious guest?
Did my brother know about broadcasts? He acted as if he wouldn’t say a word until the cam was on, subtly signaling to me. Just goes to show the conduct expected from a vice-chairman of Changseong Group.
“First, I must inform you, if you say anything disrespectful today, it won’t just end with a timeout. You might end up with a real-world meetup, so be careful.”
【BOOMBOOM】- Gasp!
【White Forest】- What?!
【Octopus Sukhwa】- Who is this person…?
【The Neighboring Hani】- Are we going to see a real-life meetup announcement?? D:
Whenever there’s a guest, I always warn people to watch what they say, but noticing my unusually strong word choice, the viewers seemed to catch their breath.
To be honest, this wasn’t just for my brother’s sake; it was for your sake too. Because if I made a mistake with this person, a real meet-up might happen, perhaps at the police station or court…
Keep in mind that this person has a dedicated lawyer who owns the Jang&Kim law firm, backed by the legal team of Changseong Group.
“Anyway, since quite a few viewers have arrived, let’s introduce today’s special guest and get the broadcast started. Don’t be too surprised.”
【Fallen Flower】- Gdgd
【Lost Frog】- If it’s a prank, I’ll call the host Zero Two Gg.
【Kyung Hwa Moon】- What if it’s not even a super special guest? Haha.
Yeah, talk all you want now. Once you see this person’s face, you’ll end up bowing your heads.
As I turned on the cam and adjusted the angle to make sure my brother was highlighted in the screen as we appeared, I weakly clapped and began to read the introduction.
“Now, today’s guest is! The eldest son of the chairman of Changseong Group, Ryu Tae-jin, and my brother-in-law, Ryu Do-hoon, the vice-chairman!”
“Hello. I’m Ryu Do-hoon, currently serving as vice-chairman of Changseong Electronics.”
Unlike when he’s with my wife, he introduced himself with a very gentle tone and a pleasant, low voice as he bowed his head.
At that moment, there was a brief pause in the chat as if everyone halted in disbelief, and then,
【Melted Artisan】- ??????????????????????????
【BINGO】- Yes?????????????
【Pigeon that swallowed Lego】- Hey, everyone, take your hands off the keyboard!!!
【Mushroom Soup】- Huh…?
【BlueBungieWooRuh】- Why is such a valuable person here…?
【Please Be Positive】- ????????? Is this a prank?
【Alpaca Hunter】- I think I’m not going to chat today.
【Potato Ring】- Why is the vice-chairman here…?
【That’s it, Cosmo…】- I didn’t do anything wrong but I’ll say sorry just in case…
In the blink of an eye, the scroll shot up, bombarding the chat with question marks, and in just 10 minutes, an absolutely absurd increase of 6,000 viewers appeared.
What did I say, guys? I told you you’d be surprised!
