'It's correct that the live broadcast started now.'

I checked the screen again to see if it came out well, and sat down.

Soon people started coming in.

Since there was a slight delay, I deliberately waited for a while and then said hello when the comments started to come in.

"Hello. Uhm, I think it's the first time I'm personally live streaming on the Internet like this... since that PR live."

I deliberately spoke slowly, observing the delayed responses. The comments were filled with hearts, greetings, and aggros.

'It's still hard to read.'

I continued my introduction.

"I was wondering what I should do... since I was nervous. So for now I prepared something we're both familiar with."

I slightly manipulated the angle of the smartphone and lowered it.

"Today will be... ta-dah."

The camera showed the image on the screen in front of me. Today's menu, ssambap, appeared there.

//TN: Korean rice lettuce wraps

"I prepared a content... where we can eat together."

I lifted the spoon.

"Then, thank you for the meal."

And I put a pre-wrapped ssambap in my mouth. Well, it tasted like spicy stir-fried pork.

'Not bad.'

Since it was my first broadcast, I didn't have the conscience to deliver it completely in freestyle, so doing this would feel more familiar and the content would be easier to digest.

'Let's pay attention to the audio.'

After chewing and swallowing the food in my mouth, I continued my small talk.

"I purposely came here around dinner time. But if you have any other schedules, then later... If you could turn it on and watch this when you eat..."

"Ah."

When I checked the phone again, the angle had gone down to the point where my eyes were barely visible.

'This isn't good enough...?'

I thought it would be no problem to show what I was eating, but since they said that they didn't like that, I adjusted the stand and pulled the smartphone back a bit.

"Wait a minute."

I turned the stand to secure it more firmly and tapped the smartphone.

"I think it worked. How is it?"

As I waited calmly, the answers began to be mixed in the comments. I quickly captured the things I could read with my eyes.

"Seems like it's good."

Looking at the comments reacting to my shaking the smartphone, it felt like there were a bunch of little people inside it.

'This is pretty fun.'

I smiled and sat back down and started eating. And I picked the right comments to answer them from time to time.

"What's my favourite menu? Umm...I like everything that objectively tastes good. First of all, this tastes good."

"... 'Did you order delivery?' No, I didn't. I just made this myself."

Come to think of it, I don't think I've been cooking much lately. Since I was busy with my schedule, I usually just bought and ate. To be honest, it was more comfortable that way.

Oh, their reactions were surprisingly strong.

"I see that there are people who want to eat it, so I'll post a simple recipe on our account after the broadcast. Um, but there's no special secret... so it's not that different from what you usually eat."

I put the new ssambap into my mouth. It tasted like bulgogi.

"And the detailed taste description... The sweet seasoning goes well with the meat and rice, the ssamjang gives a slightly pungent taste, and the lettuce finishes it off with a refreshing finish."

I kept scanning the comments with my eyes.

'There are more foreign languages than I thought.'

//TN: These were all written in English.

I think they wanted to visit the solo broadcast of a group that had newly debuted. Although made it sound like a global launch, it didn't seem to have that kind of effect, considering that I haven't seen controversial articles about it causing a stir overseas.

'Did they get to know about us because our activities overlapped with VTIC's?'

Or maybe it was because of the swamp of WeTube's algorithm. Either way, it was pretty amazing.

"Ah, the kimchi refrigerator. I haven't received it yet. They will give it to me when the time comes, so I'm just waiting comfortably."

Since then, I continued to eat while answering appropriate questions, but it was surprisingly difficult to select these 'appropriate questions'. This was because there were quite a few times when the comments were rampant with only foreign languages and words.

- Eat a lot!

In the midst of the aggro comments that were just being thrown, I finally caught one question to answer.

"Oh, this is the company phone. Mine is here."

I got the old smartphone that I had left to the side and shook it in front of the camera.

And of course, a message came at that moment.

Bzzzzztt.

"..."

What shitty timing.

It was fortunate that the contents of the notification were not shown.

Seeing the comments, it was already caught. I quickly sorted things out.

"Ah, since appearing on with sunbae-nim, I have been greeting him from time to time."

If I didn't reply to this right away, would I be caught on the VTIC fans' bad side? However, if I did reply there could be a controversy about my attitude on my first W Live, so let's ask for their understanding first.

"Now that I've seen it, can I give a short reply?"

'They're going nuts.'

I quickly checked the contents of the message. It was just a work-related chat. I replied 'Yes, I understand' and quickly turned it off.

'I need to change the topic.'

I happened to have something prepared.

I immediately found a suitable comment. It was a question that has been constantly coming in since the broadcast was turned on.

"Hmm, there are a lot of people asking about the other members. Some are on schedule and some are at home. Wait a minute."

I got up right away and was out of sight of the camera. Then I went outside the door and brought in the guy who was already waiting in the living room.

"I brought a friend who was at home."

"He-hello...!"

It was Seon Ahyun whose whole body language showed that he had been preparing his heart for this decision.

After receiving counselling for about two or three weeks, he seemed to have gained some courage and decided to appear on the broadcast, but said that he didn't want to appear for long, so I set it up so that he appeared in the middle and then leave after a short while.

Fortunately, the responses in the comments were good.

Some of the rejection reactions were fair, but Seon Ahyun's complexion was quite stable.

Seon Ahyun waved at the phone with his face slightly flushed.

"Ev-everyone, How... have you been?"

However, due to the delayed comment time, what Seon Ahyun could mainly see was 'his face is insane'.

"Everyone seems to be doing well. Seon Ahyun, what are you doing these days?"

"Ah! I-I learned knitting...! C-can I show you?"

"Of course."

Dash. Seon Ahyun immediately ran to his room. I asked to the camera.

"...When he shows you something, can you give him a lot of applause? He's still learning right now and really likes doing it."

Like this, it would lift up even if it was funny.

"I-it's this...!"

Seon Ahyun returned at lightning speed and quickly held out a few colourful objects to the phone.

It was a knit loofah. From bread to strawberries, he arranged them by type on the table.

And as requested, people began to fill the comments with clapping emojis as soon as Seon Ahyun returned to sight.

"Ah... Th-thank you!"

Seon Ahyun brightly bowed his head, not knowing that because of the delay, people were already clapping before they could see the knits.

'Would this much be enough?'

I thought it would be okay to send him now since if I left it any longer, the trauma trigger malicious comments could suddenly appear at an unexpected time and could destroy Seon Ahyun's mental state.

However, Seon Ahyun, as if gaining confidence, sat down in front of the table and began to explain about the scrubbers.

"I... I knit the bread first, so the shape is a little strange but I think I did the str-strawberry well."

As soon as I thought that it would be ambiguous to stop him, someone knocked on the door.

Then the door burst open, and someone walked in.

"Moondae-ssi~ The 10-minute mukbang was supposed to be over but I got a report that you have been continuing~"

It was Keun Sejin.

"If you give me some ssambap, I will pretend that this has never happened~"

"I also want ssambap!"

After that, Cha Yujin raised his hand and came in. Anyone could tell that they broke in while watching the broadcast.

'...I'm sure I left some meat in the frying pan.'

They came here only for the purpose of intruding into the W Live since they could have just eaten in the kitchen.

And in an instant, the room became noisy.

"Wow! This is really delicious."

"There's a lot of meat in the kitchen so eat that."

"No, I think this tastes better because it was carefully wrapped in advance for this broadcast."

"It's the best!"

Cha Yujin raised his thumb like a typical eating variety show guest. He also started recommending ssambap to Seon Ahyun.

Seon Ahyun wanted to eat it but started to feel sorry. I was having a headache.

"...Eat comfortably."

"O-okay!"

"Hyung, can I eat a lot too?"

"Do as you please."

"Yes! Nyam!"

I talked to the camera while watching the ssambap being destroyed in a flash.

"...Next time, I will come with more quantity prepared."

The comments were full of laughter. I was glad I gave them a laugh.

"Because we ran out of ssambap... I'll wrap up today's mukbang now."

Instead, I was trying to come up with suitable content, whether it was question time or something else, but Keun Sejin waved his hand after eating a ssambap.

"Huh? Hey, don't do that. We'll just make ssambap for you now!"

"...!"

...So for the next 20 minutes, I moved the smartphone to the kitchen and did a ssambap wrapping broadcast.

"Cha Yujin, how many pieces of lettuce did you use?"

"Th-the ssam lettuce is as big as his face..."

Soon after, the remaining three people who had been to the hospital for a medical checkup also joined.

"What are you all doing?"

"Hyung! Try this!"

Eventually, I fed ssambap to the people who joined and turned off the W Live only after hearing their tasting review.

I wondered what the hell was going on, but I couldn't deny that it was interesting content considering that the number of viewers came out well...

'...But I couldn't say what I wanted to say.'

It was a side effect that happened when the live broadcast was pirated by intruders and started to flow freely.

I turned on social media instead. In the process, as a result of briefly browsing the Internet, the response was quite good.

'Can this be considered a success?'

I shrugged my shoulders and wrote down the promised short meat recipe for ssambap in a new post.

And I uploaded it with additional phrases.

For your information, the kimchi refrigerator mentioned on this day was immediately received at the dorm two days later.
