NOVEL NEXT Chapter 516
After deciding to appear on a variety show in the car last time, a meeting was quickly arranged. As soon as I said I would go, the variety show team was surprised and immediately set a schedule.
“Welcome!”
At the meeting, I met the variety show PD and writer, who were quite young. When I entered the meeting room, they warmly seated me.
“Thank you for coming today!”
“Welcome!”
“Hello.”
Looking around, various items suitable for the show were placed on the table.
I heard they recently started Season 2 and it’s going well.
Indeed, with more people watching streams these days, it’s natural for such variety shows to gain popularity.
“We didn’t expect you to accept the offer.”
“Haha, you’re too humble.”
Anyway, we started the meeting with light conversation.
“Was there a particular reason you decided to appear on our show?”
“Well, I’m confident. It seems like it would be fun.”
“Ah… confidence… yes, that makes sense.”
I noticed the PD flinching slightly at my confident remark.
A bit worried, aren’t you?
I blurted it out, but I didn’t expect them to bite so quickly.
“Do you have any ideas in mind for the broadcast?”
“How will the broadcast be done on the day?”
“Yes, we’ll set up the set in advance.”
“Ah, so you prepare everything.”
“If you have a preferred location or concept, we’ll prepare everything for you.”
Hmm.
So they handle the entire broadcast setup?
Well, how much experience do celebrities have with this?
It’s better to have professional staff set it up in advance.
“How do others usually do the broadcast?”
“Usually, they do educational broadcasts.”
“Ah, education?”
“Yes, they do a lot of informative things. Cooking, or specialized fields like dance or vocals.”
Educational broadcasts, huh.
Well, if you suddenly have to do a variety show, it’s natural to think in that direction.
After all, people who appear on such shows are usually successful in their specialized fields.
In my case… should I do a drawing tutorial?
My experience in acting or singing is too short to teach others, but drawing is just right, and I’m confident I can teach it well…
“I think I have an idea of what to do.”
“Oh, really? Feel free to tell us. We’ll prepare everything.”
“I don’t need much… just a large room and a broadcast computer.”
Since it’s my first cam broadcast, it would be a shame to just do a drawing tutorial.
“Huh? Ah, so you want to do the broadcast that way?”
“Yes.”
Plus, there are a few things I wanted to do if I ever did a cam broadcast.
I thought it would be good to do them all at once.
“I’ll prepare the rest myself.”
With everything set up so well, I plan to prepare thoroughly.
“Ah, and could you prepare a changing room?”
“A changing room?”
“Yes, behind the cam where it’s not visible.”
I’m not sure if the viewers will like this.
Actually, it’s more for what I want to do.
But well, the viewers who always ask me to turn on the cam and sing…
I think they’ll react well no matter what I do.
“And when I do the broadcast, the chat room…”
“Ah, for that part, we’ll assign a professional staff…”
Anyway, after that, we just did some simple coordination.
“Then I’ll be going.”
“Ah, yes…”
The meeting ended without any major issues.
I’m looking forward to the day of the variety show filming.
**
About a week after the meeting at the broadcasting station.
I finally came to the station for the filming.
“Welcome! We’ve prepared everything here!”
Many people were already waiting at the station.
I saw some celebrities who seemed to be from other teams.
Wow, are they all my competitors?
Come to think of it, there’s a prize for first place. I’m looking forward to it.
What will I get?
Of course, I don’t think I won’t win first place.
After all, the production team has already spread the word that I’m appearing.
The viewers must be eagerly waiting.
Especially since I haven’t been on broadcast much lately.
Whether they want to see me or are just curious, they’ll come.
So I relaxed and entered the room prepared for me.
“Here you go!”
“Nice.”
The room for today’s broadcast was spacious, with a changing room at the back and a broadcast computer in the center, just as I requested.
Hmm, the environment is better than my room.
The soundproof booth at my family home is small from the start.
I wanted to expand it, but spatial limitations prevented it.
If I ever become independent, I want to decorate a large room entirely for broadcasting.
I could install display cases for items and decorate it like a broadcast background.
Well, even if I decorate it, it probably won’t be visible since it’s a virtual broadcast.
But today, I can show everything, including the background.
This might be the first and last cam broadcast.
Thud!
“I’ll leave this here.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Today, I was also quite excited, so with Park Kang-seok’s help, I prepared a lot of props for the broadcast.
“Here are the costumes from the car.”
“Ah, give them to me.”
Among the props, there were also costumes.
I took the shopping bags containing the costumes and headed to the makeshift changing room in the corner of the room.
It’s quite spacious inside.
There’s a mirror, and it feels like they brought one from a department store.
“Then I’ll change into the costume, so…”
“Got it.”
Now, I need to change clothes, so I sent Park Kang-seok, who brought my luggage, away and took out a set of clothes from the shopping bag.
Today’s outfit is specially prepared for the broadcast…
But when I unfolded it, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Even I think it’s ridiculous to wear this.
Will the viewers start cursing right away?
Well, it’s a variety show, so there will be censorship.
I guess the staff managing the chat room will be busy today as I changed into the outfit.
It was more complicated to wear than I thought, so it took some time.
But I managed to put it on and came out of the changing room to look at the mirror in the corner of the room.
Hmm, the size fits, and it looks decent.
I guess the outfit is on point.
I sat in front of the mirror for a while and did some light makeup as I had practiced.
Well, it’s not really makeup, just touching up my hair and applying some heavy makeup.
After finishing the preparations…
“Come in now.”
As I said that to the closed door, Park Kang-seok came in shortly after.
“What’s that in your hand?”
“I brought coffee.”
Wow, he brought coffee in the middle of all this.
I was just thinking I needed something to drink, so this is perfect.
“Wow, nice touch.”
“…Is that the outfit you’re wearing today?”
“Huhuhu, what do you think?”
I spun around to show Park Kang-seok the outfit properly.
It’s the first time I’m wearing something like this, will it be okay?
I spent a lot of money on this outfit, almost too much for a one-time use.
The quality is good, but the actual look is another matter.
“…It suits you well.”
“Really? It’s not awkward, is it?”
“No, it looks natural.”
“Then that’s good.”
As long as it’s not awkward, it’s fine.
But the outfit is a bit uncomfortable.
Well, it’s not made for everyday wear.
Besides, the broadcast time is short, so it doesn’t matter.
It’s not like this is the only outfit I have.
Anyway.
“Then let’s start setting up.”
Before the real start, I need to finish the remaining preparations.
The computer already had the broadcast settings ready, but I tweaked it a bit to match my usual setup.
Also, since I’ll be playing a game today, I installed it in advance.
I adjusted the camera brightness and set up the optimal settings for a while.
-Start soon!
I heard the staff’s shout from outside the room.
Hmm, it’s time to start the broadcast.
“Phew.”
But I’m a bit nervous.
I always broadcast with a panel, but now I’m doing a full cam broadcast, right?
Of course, thinking it’s a variety show makes me less nervous…
But looking at the prepared computer and camera, I can’t help but think about the broadcast.
Well, the preparations are all done anyway.
-Start!
I waited for the variety show to start and turned on the broadcast at the staff’s signal.
-Oh, it’s on
-Hi hi
-Is it really Cam Kim??
As soon as I turned on the broadcast, the chat flooded in.
I didn’t turn on the cam right away and checked the atmosphere.
Hmm.
Even though the live broadcast platform is different from Dwitch, there are many familiar nicknames.
Well, my viewers must have been waiting, so it’s natural.
…Then I really need to enforce strict censorship today.
Well, it’s an official broadcast, so they’ll probably restrain themselves, I thought as I picked up one of the props I prepared earlier and turned on the cam.
-??
-What’s this??
-No way
-Wow lol
-This bastard lol
The cam I turned on showed my figure clearly.
An overall green-toned military uniform.
A braided hairstyle on one side.
Plus, a slightly reddened cheek touch.
And a 1:1 scale Moon Blade I ordered online.
“Ahem, I am Soo-hyun, the General!”
Kim Soo-hyun, cosplaying as Guan Yu, appeared in front of the viewers.
-Ah
-What the hell
-Lol
-What is this guy?? lol
Chuck.
I properly held the quite large Moon Blade and struck a pose.
“Pretty, right?”
-F*ck lol
-This is ridiculous lol
-I never imagined this lol
-What is this really??
The broadcast I prepared is none other than a cosplay game broadcast.
“I prepared this to match today’s game.”
-???
-Today’s game?
“Ah, I’ll show you.”
There must be many new viewers today besides my regulars, so I should explain in advance.
I tweaked the settings to display the monitor screen above the cam.
“It’s already installed. This is today’s game! Excited?”
Right after confidently showing the game on the screen…
-??
[Deleted chat.]
-No way lol
[Deleted chat.]
[Deleted chat.]
[Deleted chat.]
-Wow, this is ridiculous lol
[Deleted chat.]
[Deleted chat.]
The chats were rapidly being censored.
“Ahaha. Please refrain from cursing, everyone.”
The broadcast, which will go down in history as the variety show with the highest viewer count and the most censorship, began like that.
