Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber

Miro’s video posted by Kim Soo-hyun drew mixed reactions, standing out distinctly from the other participants.

It’s no surprise that while the other contestants’ singing cover videos went unnoticed, Miro’s unique approach drew both admiration and criticism.

[Miro <— If this girl is not number one in singing, I’ll eat my hat, LOL] (Watched Miro's singing video on The Six channel) Who said she can't sing? Damn, LOL! I feel like half the contestants would just get wrecked! LOL - That's an exaggeration. - What? Is it Miro singing? - Yeah, yeah. - The gallery’s been saying she can’t sing like crazy. - Yeah, right? LOL! - Damn, how much mixing did they do? LOL - They say there’s no mixing. - Yeah right, she can’t pull it off live~ [Miro, why are you acting all high and mighty?] Damn, LOL! Anna and Loa put out their highlight reels, and what makes her think she can post a singing video? LOL - Why are you so salty? - Choke on your drink. - This girl is a special case; she's a total die-hard fan of Anna and Loa! LOL - Miro’s exactly the same, huh, trying to divide the fans? [Miro <— If this girl is adorable, thumbs up! Yupp] (Description of Miro's video posted on The Six channel) Imagining Miro, on the verge of tears, signing up for Vocal Academy to practice after viewers said she couldn’t sing is just so cute, LOL! - Isn’t it natural to attend Vocal Academy if you can’t sing? - Haha! - The Great Miro! [Miro’s voice is a cheat code, for real!] (Watching Miro’s singing video on The Six channel) I heard her for the first time yesterday and I can’t stop replaying it. - Hmm.. Is it really that great? - I listen to a lot of covers, and she really is on another level. - Just listen to the original, you know? - Not bad for a current music industry person. Even as the community was ablaze, Miro didn’t stream for two days after the fourth audition video went up, so the hot topic cooled down quietly. *** Two days after posting the video of her fourth audition, I turned on the stream because it was said the results would be announced today. [Live Broadcast of King Miro's Audition Results] The pace of the audition process and the announcement of results might feel a tad rushed, but it seems unavoidable due to the changing nature of internet broadcasting. As I resumed a long-abandoned stream, viewers quickly gathered. - Hi! - You’ve arrived, goat! - Why now? - What have you been doing? - King, LOL! “Alright everyone, good to see you again! It’s been a while, right? Did you all get your rest? I took some time off too.” - What do you mean by rest? “What do you mean what I did? Haah.. Didn’t you see the singing video I posted on The Six channel?” - You sang well! - Yeah, I watched it. - But what’s that got to do with anything? “Do you know how much I practiced to put that out?” [Thank you, 1,000 won donation from ㅇㅇ!] If I say it’s mixing magic, will I get banned? - Gasp! - Whoa! - What? - Oops! Mixing? Is that what they mean when they say the song was digitally altered? Mixing isn’t bad. But to use it as a way to undermine my talent, now that’s unforgivable. “I swear, there was no mixing! That was just my talent!” - Oh, okay, LOL. - If you could sing that well, you’d be hosting a singing show, huh? LOL - Yeah, you sing well! Seeing the viewers subtly nitpicking right after the broadcast had just started made my blood boil. Where did all those people who praised me in the community go? “Anyway, today is the day we find out the final winners of the Celestial Realm Project. You all voted for me, right?” - Eh? - Yeah (voting for Anna). - This person’s name is Loa, right? - Yes, I voted!~ - (This is a secret comment.) “Geez, why is everyone so grumpy?” I clicked my tongue and shared what happened during my break. “I watched movies and anime during my time off.” - What movies did you see? - I heard 'Child of Kamiari Month' is good. “For the movies, I just picked any from the trending section on OTT. 'Child of Kamiari Month'? Ah, that was definitely entertaining.” Only one episode has aired, but it's been the most impressive anime I’ve seen recently. “The song is also good, right?” Plus, I believe the anime's opening song has become a massive hit. - Isn’t this a weeb anime? - Weren’t you the one who said you hated that kind of stuff? Did I really say that? I couldn’t quite remember, so I decided to brush it off. “Oh, this one's different. Also, as for what movies I saw…” As I went on listing movies I binge-watched on OTT during my break, time slipped by quickly, and the live broadcast started on The Six Official Channel. [Celestial Realm Project, The Journey’s End! Who will be crowned the champion...?] “Look at that title…” - LOL! - The supervisor must have named it. - Can you really say that? - I just thought the title was good! Correcting my verbal slip as I entered the broadcast, a 3D map appeared. With a massive screen in the backdrop, a male host donned a 3D avatar, flitting around energetically as he continued explaining. [Now, let’s briefly recap the journey of the Celestial Realm Project...] Upon seeing the video from the first audition play on the big screen, I quietly turned off the broadcast and flipped the screen. - ?? - What’s this? - Are we not broadcasting? “Ah~ This is a little embarrassing... Just let me know when it's time to pick the winners.” Judging by what I saw, it seemed that the activities of audition participants would flash by starting from the first round, and I felt a little shy to face my past self. “Should we play a game?” With that, I booted up League of Legends. This account was newly created just for broadcasting purposes yesterday. - ??? - Wait, this is a broadcast, right? Why aren’t you streaming? - This is just insane now. - Finally gaming, huh? As I had never played a single game during the auditions, the audience was taken aback when I started the game. “Yeah, I’m just doing a bot match.” [Thanks, Master Miro, for the 10,000-won donation!] Wait, is it appropriate to be gaming during a live broadcast for announcing audition results? “Thank you for the 10,000 won donation. It’s fine; it won’t take long. A single bot match will fit just right!” - What’s this bot match? - Bot matches are kinda... eh. - K. “I’m level 7. I made this yesterday.” I said that while covering the screen and logging in. The loading screen passed, and the standard game interface appeared with my username and level. [King Miro (7)] - Are you trying to get King this round? - Is this your first time playing League? - Just play the game already. “I have a different main account, but I’m leveling this one for broadcasting. Regular games take longer, so it won’t do.” - Then why not level up there instead of streaming? - What’s your main account tier? “Tier? I’m good enough to get the job done.” - So you’re saying you’re in Silver, LOL. - I’m also doing my part (Iron 2). “Ah, yes~” I was different from those types. I had a tier ranking in the top 3%. I even had a streak of wins recently, so I could potentially climb even higher. As I got into the game, being a bot match, I picked a recently released champion and began. “The skills are tough.” - Why are you playing mid with a support champ? - Whoa, but the bots are doing pretty well! - Why are the bots so strong? “Uh, just hang on.” As I was fighting hard against the strong AI bots, - Yo, it’s starting! - Hurry up! - What are you doing? [Thank you, Stationery Eraser Thief Miro, for the 1,000-won donation!] This isn’t the time to be gaming! “Really?” It’s starting already? We haven’t even hit the 10-minute mark yet! “I’ll be fine without me, right?” - Yeah, yeah. - In a bot match, how could you lose? - Just hurry up already! Feeling rushed by the surprisingly swift pace, I hastily closed the game window and entered the live broadcast, which apparently had already started announcing the winners. It was no wonder, with a big screen showing a cute girl avatar with brown hair and a bread hat smiling brightly. [And thus, we’ve concluded the interview with our first winner, Anna! Now, let’s introduce the next winner!] Had they already finished introducing the first winner, Anna? They were already moving on to the second! “Phew.. What a relief. If I were the first winner, I’d be in trouble, right?” - LOL! - Don’t even dream about it! LOL! - You’d barely make it to the fourth or fifth, for real! Everyone was typing like that, but deep down, they were probably hoping I’d win. ....Maybe. [So, the second contestant is...?! Loa! Congratulations!] As the host called out, a character with glittering sky-blue hair appeared on the screen, and I clapped my hands. “Isn’t that person really good at K-pop?” - Oh, true! - Have you watched the other contestants’ broadcasts? - You know this? “I watch other people’s streams often.” - Seriously? - Shouldn’t you be broadcasting instead of watching? “Hey, this is serious study! I learn a lot from other contestants!” - What do you even learn?? - If you learn something, you gotta put it into practice, got it? “If I just copied, that’d be plagiarism. I’ll be rearranging things to use.” Chit-chatting with the viewers, I continued to watch as contestants were announced one by one. [So, the next winner is...! Mile!] But even as we reached the third winner, [The fourth winner is... drumroll... Congratulations! Maho!] Even by the fourth, my name had yet to be called. At this point, an uneasiness began to creep its way into my mind. “Uh? Oh...” - You seemed cool before, but now you’re nervous, huh? - LOL! - Just keep playing League! - The game probably isn’t finished yet. “Why do you guys find it funny when I’m about to get eliminated?” - Hmm... - I wouldn’t pick you either. - That’s kind of a shame... Seriously, do they not really like me? No... If that were the case, they wouldn’t have even bothered coming to watch the stream. [Well... we’ve come this far...] Whether I felt uneasy or not, time marched on, and finally, it was time to announce the fifth contestant. ‘They said they were picking five...’ This meant, if I didn’t get picked here, I’d be out. I wouldn’t be utterly devastated if I didn’t make it, but it wouldn’t be a lie to say I’d feel disappointed. After all, the starting line would be entirely different for the successful versus the unsuccessful candidates in future broadcasts. With my heart racing, I politely clasped my hands together. [Hah... We’ve truly made it this far. Alright! Here’s the fifth winner! This one is super fun.] As the host announced this, a black silhouette appeared on the screen. [Congratulations! The fifth winner is Haru!] In sync with that, a character with white hair and red eyes appeared on the screen. “Ah, damn, I didn’t get picked...” As those words slipped out, a thought that floated aimlessly in my head tumbled from my lips. - Ah... - Bummer... - Hmm... - There’s still the sixth left. - Isn’t this the last one? Everyone in the chat grew solemn even though I cursed. [Thank you, Master Miro, for the 10,000 won donation!] It’s not over until it’s over! At that moment, upon receiving the donation message, I nodded. “Hey, there’s still the sixth left, right?” Saying that, I watched the fifth winner share her thoughts. The girl was practically in tears, thanking everyone repeatedly, and I applauded while gesturing toward the game icon I had minimized. Is it still not finished? Now that it had come to this, I almost wanted to sneak into a bot match again, but I figured it’d be polite as a contestant to listen to the other winners' thoughts to the end, so I stuck around. As the thoughts from the fifth winner, Haru, wrapped up, the host stepped back. [Alright! We’ve got our fifth winner with us! Now, let’s reveal the last winner!] The last? There’s still one person left? For some reason, in contrast to what the person in charge had said about selecting five, the host’s announcement of the sixth winner brought forth a familiar silhouette on the big screen. [Congratulations! The last winner is Miro!] Seeing the pink-haired avatar flash on the screen, I clenched my fists and cheered.
