The 4th Generation Chaebol YouTuber

451 subscribers

“You want to start a YouTube channel together?”

“huh. need an editor And, I’m going to make it a bit bigger. It also requires a number of hands. I am gathering allies.”

I nodded and replied.

“Hmm.”

The guy who was scratching his head after hearing my words was Kang Beom-soo, a classmate in the same department.

Like me, the Department of Media Communication at K University, for short, is a 3rd year student at the Department of Computer Science.

He is so good at video editing that he stands out even in our department.

I memorize a lot of keyboard shortcuts for the video editing programs ＜Premier＞ and ＜Final Cut＞.

I’m sorry if it’s over with that. In fact, I used to apply it well and show great work speed.

He himself has tried to create a channel a few times to do a YouTube, but he has never been successful.

In order to run a YouTube channel successfully, several conditions are required.

Concept, sense, speaking skills, appearance, video production ability, etc.

From my point of view, Beom-soo didn’t have much to show off other than his editing skills in video production.

So… rather good.

Perfect for my colleague.

“What is it? The other day, we asked to make a channel together, and you said no.”

huh. It was because I thought it would be ruined if I made it according to the concept you were trying to do at the time.

But you can’t tell the story right away.

“There was a reason for that. I already made a channel.”

“okay? Did you upload the video too?”

“huh.”

When I nodded, Beomsu picked up his phone and asked.

“What is your channel name?”

“Uh… not the sushi channel.”

“what?”

“Not the sushi channel.”

I checked again.

It’s an odd name to tell without an explanation, but you have to tell the name to search anyway.

“Crazy… What channel did you name that? Is it a new aggro?”

Bumsu muttered this while opening the YouTube app and typing in the search bar.

“Did you really make it? what?”

The beggar opened his eyes wide.

“Crazy… aren’t they both sushi videos? Are you saying this isn’t the Sushi Channel?”

“There is a reason, yes. We will change soon.”

I replied with a frown.

“what? But 449 subscribers? What is this? You uploaded two 1-minute videos and got over 400 subscribers? such a pair. I didn’t get over 50 subscribers until I uploaded 10 videos the other day?”

The beggar raised his voice.

“okay. And more than 10 of those 50 were kids from my class, including me.”

“Shut up, you son of a b*tch. How did you do it? wait for a sec. Let’s watch the video first.”

Still, Bum-soo seemed interested.

I waited in silence for him to watch all my videos.

what. I guess I only waited for 2 minutes.

“no. You’re not even talking about it?”

“huh. Sushi isn’t food that’s cooked over an open fire, so it doesn’t make the sound of cooking. That’s why doing ASMR (a video or technique that records loud sounds) is like that.”

“uh. Did you hear all the hum? Didn’t you do any editing?”

the criminal said Obviously, it seems that the interest in editing comes first.

“huh. I filmed it right away and uploaded it live on the spot.”

“But how did you get subscribers?”

“First of all, do you see the title of the video? ‘Chef Minhyuk Yoo’s first sushi’, ‘Chef Minhyuk Yoo’s sushi no one has ever eaten’.”

“huh. Is this a channel that fans of chef Yoo Min-hyeok?”

“Ugh. no. This guy is pretty big on the sushi scene, but he just opened a new one. That’s why sushi YouTubers mentioned it a lot. However, before the store actually opened, YouTube uses an algorithm to target a lot of subscribers named Yoo Min-hyeok, but my video gets caught.”

“Huh… Does that alone make the video appear?”

“There are kids who wrote ‘Yoo Min-hyeok’ in the comment section, right? It will come out to them. Because the keywords in the comments match the keywords in my title.”

“Ahang.”

At this point, I told the story of visiting Chef Yoo Min-hyeok’s new restaurant and the story of the sushi man and his followers.

“The nasty YouTube algorithm.”

After hearing my explanation, Bumsu muttered and laughed.

“After all, isn’t the channel name ‘not a sushi channel’ also caught in the search algorithm? After all, if you search for sushi, you will get it. whether it be positive or negative.”

“oh. yes. Do you understand quickly?”

“Besides, whatever the reason, since your video suddenly appeared, it must have been pushed even more. Such algorithms are winner-take-all.”

I was honestly amazed. our offender. nice head

“Wow… do you know that?”

I was honestly amazed.

“At that time, the professor told me how the SNS algorithm works. Positive or negative, it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s ‘It’s a Sushi Channel’ or ‘It’s not a Sushi Channel’, both work similarly.”

“oh. You mean you didn’t sleep then?”

“shut up. He listens intently to lectures on OTT or social media.”

The criminal spat out.

Although it is called the Department of Media Communication, there are much more lectures on journalism, newspapers, and broadcasting.

However, it is no exception in our department that there are now more students who want to become YouTubers or influencers than those who want to become newspaper reporters or TV anchors.

There are not many formal lectures on OTT or SNS yet.

As soon as it opens, students flock to it and listen to classes with bright eyes unlike the college landscape these days.

Even though neither Beomsu nor I were students who managed grades, both managed to keep such information in their heads.

“This sushi man reacted strongly, which was helpful. Even if you delete the comments, anyway, you and the channel subscribers have a record of what you’ve watched and replied to. Based on that record, the algorithm shows my video.”

“Hoo. If you blocked it, you might be able to erase that algorithmic route altogether.”

“huh. But they don’t seem to do that.”

“Hmm.”

My channel has 449 subscribers… 451 as I speak.

Anyway, that’s about the story of attracting that many subscribers, and I’m back to the main topic.

“Come on, shall we? I’m going to launch a real YouTube properly this time.”

“Why did you change your mind?”

“You haven’t changed your mind. I had no intention of starting before I had a proper concept. And now the concept has been properly grasped.”

“So, what is the concept? You decide whether you want to know that or not?”

“huh. Do what I have been thinking about from the beginning.”

“What?”

Beomsu tilted his head in my direction, showing interest.

“You went to Chef Yoo Min-hyeok’s restaurant opening this time, didn’t you? There were seven other guests besides my mother and me.”

“huh.”

“So, only nine people had that luxury. Chef Yoo Min-hyeok may open another store later, but anyway, there are less than 10 customers in the world opening this store.”

“huh. yes.”

“And so are the two sushi videos that have just been uploaded. One is the first opening menu by Chef Yoo Min-hyeok. The other one was developed by chef Yoo Min-hyeok, and no one has eaten sushi yet.”

“huh.”

“Do you both have something in common? It’s an act that few people in the world have ever done.”

“Oh… but then you’re going to take that as a concept?”

The face of the beomsu who asked as if to confirm something was not clear.

“huh. I also decided on two candidates for the title. ‘Something few people in the world haven’t done’, or ‘an experience that less than 10 people have yet to experience’. something like this.”

“Boo…”

“why? good?”

When I asked with a grin, Bumsu answered firmly.

“huh. good. It should be fun. Easy to pull aggro. however!”

“huh.”

“How do we do that? Sushi was lucky this time, so let’s say so. How do ordinary college students like us keep filming things that no one else can do? You know you have to upload at least one a week if you’re going to run YouTube right.”

“oh. That is a very precise question.”

“huh? Wouldn’t that be a question that you can respond to so leisurely?”

“Leave that to me. Soon, I will be creating content in a completely different field than sushi. Once this.”

I held out the SD card to Beom-su.

“What is this?”

This is the SD card removed from the FX9. It contains all the videos from Chef Yoo Min-hyeok’s new restaurant.

“Let’s edit this together. so i have to upload it properly. I will make a 20-minute video properly with this, upload it, and move on to other content.”

20 minute video.

Bum-soo knows what that means.

Because the standard length of a video with ads is 20 minutes.

In the words ’20 minutes video’, it means that you will run a YouTube channel commercially.

“Now, wait. Didn’t I say I would do it yet?”

“I decided to start right this time. So you, be my ally.”

“Hey, wait. for a moment. Don’t use outdated buzzwords that don’t even work.”

The beggar waved his hand and said.

“I’ll buy you an iMac.”

“huh?”

“IMac. It’s new this time.”

“…”

The air changed in an instant.

“you. Are you serious about what you just said?”

“huh.”

“So, the newly announced M1 chip, Apple’s own developed silicon, is installed and the design has been changed to a completely new design. Are you referring to the iMac that was ambitiously released in seven colors because the design change was not enough?”

Beomsu started rapping.

The eyes were shining incredibly.

Guys who are interested in video editing are, with a high probability, ‘equipment bugs’.

Because video editing is a task that takes a lot of computer specifications.

“huh. that iMac. I’ll put 16GB of RAM as an option, and I’ll give you a 2TB SSD.”

“what? 2 Teera?!”

The killer’s eyes widened even more.

“you. Do you know how much that option is?”

“huh. The 810,000 cause is like that. Apple kids. Totally guts. right? If you buy a 2TB SSD separately, you can buy it for 400,000 won.”

In fact, there is a reason you know the price of an option in detail.

Because I already ordered last night.

“Are you really giving it to me? Over 3 million won?”

“huh. We’re college students, so we get an education discount. If you really take care of the editing, I’ll give you the ownership. Instead, you should let me touch you too. I’ll find a space where I can work in common.”

Saying this, I took the FX9 out of my bag.

“Oohhh…”

An exclamation of exclamation came out of Beomsu’s mouth.

“I mainly use this because I am creating content, and you use the iMac because you edit. And you want me to upload a video of this and the iMac? Because there aren’t many people writing it yet.”

“hey. what happened to you?”

The killer’s voice softened.

“huh?”

“Isn’t that a camcorder that costs around 10 million won? Is there an iMac full option? what are you doing Did you win the lottery?”

“Don’t ask. It is the secret of birth.”

“It’s crazy and I’m sleepy.”

Yes. Bum-soo doesn’t know much about my private life.

You don’t usually talk about your family to a friend you dated in college, do you?
