Episode 149 – Chaos Overseas (Real)
Late at night, after the broadcast ended.
Lee Kyung-bok's amazing play spread throughout the broadcast, but it was nothing compared to the aftermath after the broadcast ended.
While the aftershocks had previously swept mainly across the Korean Peninsula, this time it was different.
The storm crossed the sea.
[What's happening?]
It was a sentence that represented the identity of 'Twitty', the number one short-form SNS used by Japanese people.
Tweety collected hashtags and keywords from social media and showed active topics among users.
Twitter users called this "real-time trends," or "silt" for short.
And in that silt.
[Japanese Trends]
[#Perfect_Play(5,147 tweets)]
[#Demon_Must_Cry (4,228 tweets)]
Streamer Purple and Demon Must Cry keywords entered.
[Tonight's broadcast was perfect toowwww]
[The time attack gap is too big! Hey! It's no wonder I'm treated like an idiotwwww]
[Perfect Durante's rope action is cool and funny too www No, no! Strictly speaking, it's definitely cool!]
[Eh-! Beatrice-chan, you got used to Durante's touch so quickly! Is this because it's a real world? It feels like otakus are off-limits? That's why you're disqualified as a saint!]
[Me, I mean. At some point, I came to know Purple's will without subtitles. Is this like psychic power? (Laughs)]
During the broadcast, most of the comments were real-time comments about the content.
However, the reaction immediately after the broadcast ended was different.
[Hey, hey, really? … A saint in the dark? Isn’t this too dangerous? (Laughs)]
[What should I say about the end of Purple's broadcast? It was a series of 'Eh-? Eh-? Eh-!?' It didn't stop even after the screen turned offwww]
[Absolutely! Absolutely! Isn't that impossible? A saint's betrayal? If anyone knows the details, please mention me!]
[Ah, are there only fools on Twitter? God has noticed. The fools have no idea.]
[Hey-! Don't you think that's a bit harsh? There's still 24 hours left until the next story, that's super harsh!]
Regardless of nationality, viewers were shocked by the appearance of Beatrice revealed at the end of the broadcast.
The guesses about the situation were also similar, and most of the articles were analyzing the situation rather than writing reviews.
Due to the nature of SNS, users wanted the attention of others, and the fact that analysis that allows for discussion rather than simple appreciation was more conducive to communication also played a role.
The articles that gained attention in this way were then spread again through the self-quote function, ‘retweet.’
And among them, there was one user who received the most attention.
[4Gameplay_SaitoSan]
[@4Gameplay_Saito]
He was a reporter for the Japanese gaming webzine '4Gameplay'.
[The cutscenes revealed during the DMC experience broadcast this time conveyed a lot of information. Let's talk about the details in the thread below. (Beware of console version spoilers.)
<View this thread>]
He expressed his thoughts through 'Thread', a feature that shows users' posts in bundles.
[First of all, Andromalius, 'Andro' also appeared in the previous console version of DMC. Looking at the picture, it looks completely different due to the difference in technology (laughs)
<Photo>]
[Andro's original source is in the 72 Demons of Solomon. He is a demon who pursues justice and punishes the wicked, so he is also considered the 'Count of Justice'.]
[That character trait was reflected as is. In the previous work, Andro collaborated with the Divine Agency and the ‘religion.’]
As soon as the expert reporter started analyzing, people gathered and the number of retweets quickly increased even while the article was being written.
[At the time, the name was not revealed. Maybe the name was not set. However, Andro was the one who gave the Celestial Cube, the weapon of the Holy Knights that can fight against demons, to the religious order.]
[It is not yet clear whether the released DMC is a sequel to the previous work or a reboot. However, many of the settings from the previous work are maintained.]
[If the above settings are maintained, there is a high possibility that Beatrice and Andro already know each other.]
[There are claims that she is the mastermind, but it is still just a hypothesis. I am also curious, so I hope the broadcast starts soon (laughs)]
[#Perfect_Play #streamer #Demon_Must_Cry #DMC #4Gameplay #Saitosan]
[5.1K retweets / 6.3K likes]
As soon as the thread was finished, a reply was posted as if it had been waiting.
[Is he really a reporter? But Mr. Saito, a reporter, is also like uswww]
[Mr. Saito, is there no comment on his skills? I feel like I've become a machine that repeats 'Eh-?!' wwwww]
[It's obvious that it's super perfect, right? Even the name is perfect? But it's surprising that it defeated the invincible Andro!]
[Ah, is that an extra-human realm?]
[Ah, the ending was a dogeza for the company employees. Is it really a black company?]
The writings that had been spreading like wildfire soon reached a turning point.
This was because a new keyword that attracted such concentrated attention was added to Silt.
[#Perfect_Voice (1,782 tweets)]
The theme is Purple's voice.
The membership for the Purple Q-Tube channel was finally opened.
* * *
A new playlist has been added to the Perfect Play channel.
The name was 'Perfect Voice' and unlike other lists, the name was written in English.
There were only three videos uploaded to this channel, which was only available to members, and they were from the first to the third day of the experience broadcast.
The only difference from the previously uploaded video was that it contained Lee Kyung-bok's dubbed voice.
[-at las!]
[-I like purple, but if I'm not satisfied with the quality, I'll refund you right away.]

[-lol, I'm not the only one who commented first.]
However, as soon as the video was posted, the number of views increased exponentially. The number of comments also increased proportionally.
The majority of them were subscribers from English-speaking countries. The video was uploaded at dawn in Korea, but it was midday in English-speaking countries.
[-WTF? The dubbing quality isn't amateur level?]
[-lmao, he even recorded it perfectly]
[- Voice synthesis technology isn't perfect, but it's much more convenient. I didn't even miss the moments I had to watch subtitles!]
[-Oh my god, I thought that was the end of Perfect Durante, but now that he speaks in English, he's reached perfection and beyond!]
They left comments in real time, most of which were responses to the unexpectedly excellent sound quality.
[-What on earth are you thinking? Providing this service for only $10 a month?]
[-How clear must the original be for the dubbing to be this clean? How much effort did Purple put into preparing this?]
ASMR YouTubers who broadcast with their own equipment rather than a studio also receive $5 for membership.
However, the sound provided by Lee Kyung-bok was a product of the equipment of a renowned sound studio in Korea and the efforts of engineers.
Moreover, it is not a video that simply provides sound, but also includes Lee Kyung-bok's splendid play and the story of Demon Must Cry.
The difference was so obvious, and the price difference was only $5, so it couldn't be compared.
[-I don't know how much it cost, but it must have been a pretty big loss for him.]
[-I've decided. Even if no other videos are uploaded next month, I will pay for the membership until the month after that. That's polite!]
[-CAP Company should pay royalties to Purple because he is Durante!]
[-I swear, it's hard to find sound quality this good from any ASMR YouTuber.]
In terms of quantity and quality, the cost of '$10 per month' was worth it.
In such a situation, the comment section was filled with praise without a single malicious comment. Rather, it was the subscribers who paid the money who were worried about Lee Kyung-bok.
In fact, they had no way of knowing that the cost was just the price of a cup of coffee.
In the midst of such a warm atmosphere, a strange phenomenon occurred.
[-This might sound a little weird, but aren't you a little sleepy while watching the video?]
[You too? I always felt sleepy even after eating lunch and drinking coffee, but now I don't feel that way at all!]
[WTF? Isn't it just because the video is funny?]
[No, I've already seen it so it's not as interesting as the first time I saw it. But it feels like my body is on fire.]
[-This may sound crazy, but listen. I was watching a video while working out? And the dumbbells felt lighter than usual. I thought, 'WTF? Time to move on?'. And the result? I could lift 20kg more than before!]
[lol! If that's true, then it's perfect doping, right?]
[I'm telling you, it's true! I just finished one set and I'm still full of energy!]
[Then let's try]
[OMG]
[What the heck? Why is this happening?]
[Is Perfect Doping Real?]
[Friend, this isn't illegal, right? That's why it's called 'Perfect Pumping'!]
Comments began to appear saying that as people watched the video, their fatigue disappeared and their bodies became energized.
At first, I thought it was a joke, but other people experienced similar things and were surprised and left comments.
With the number of recommendations increasing, their testimonies(?) quickly rose to the top of the comments.
Comments exposed in this way again drew sympathy from more people and led to new testimonies.
Along the way, someone posted a comment implying this phenomenon.
[-Wow, this is 'Perfect Wave' in another sense. What I mean is 'perfect sound wave'.]
This comment rose to the top with a ton of recommendations, surpassing the previous top comments.

The next day.
Lee Kyung-bok came out of the shower room looking refreshed after finishing his morning workout.
"huh?"
After I finished drying it, the smart link started humming and then stopped.
It seemed like the timing of the call was bad.
Just as I was about to check who it was, a message suddenly popped up.
[>Pertube membership subscribers exceed 10,000]
Brief summary of the content.
It was a text message from Park Joo-ho. It must have been Park Joo-ho who had called me a little while ago.
But now it didn’t matter to Lee Kyung-bok whether the call came from Park Joo-ho or Choi Byeong-hoon.
'Over 10,000? In one day?'
My eyes automatically widened.
Soon he felt a sense of unease.
I've had this experience before.
'At that time there were 100,000… … '
Didn't you get 100,000 subscribers in just one day after opening your channel? Compared to that, you're only at 10% of that now.
But the joy that Lee Gyeong-bok felt was even greater than that time.
'I have to pay for 10,000 people?'
There was no resistance to simply clicking the subscribe button and it was easy to access. Isn't it enough to just click the subscribe button at the bottom of the video without having to visit the channel directly?
But signing up for membership is different.
Although the approach is similar, the process requires some hassle.
From the application process to payment, applicants are given ample room to change their minds.
There are a whopping 10,000 people who are willing to put up with the hassle and pay a monthly fee of $10.
And what if those people were foreigners with whom you couldn't speak a word or had never properly communicated?
‘No, I didn’t know there would be this many… … ‘
It was natural that the level of emotion that Lee Kyung-bok felt increased.
And apart from that, there was another reason to be happy.
'10,000 people for 10 dollars… … '
It was a very simple calculation.
It was a number that anyone who knew the multiplication table could easily derive.
But the weight of that number was not light.
“One hundred thousand dollars… …?”
Lee Kyung-bok's mouth slowly opened.
It didn't even occur to me to look up the exact exchange rate.
“It’s over 100 million won?!”
I remembered a time when I was talking to my friends. What did I say then?
'This isn't even a side income?!'
I just thought of it as a new revenue model. I never expected that the revenue would exceed the average advertising contract.
No, if you think about it, it wasn't comparable to advertising.
'Wait a minute, isn't this the money that comes in every month?'
Advertising is a one-time thing, but memberships are monthly. If you can maintain the number of subscribers, you will have a new fixed income.
"and……"
In that respect, Lee Kyung-bok had no worries. Unlike other YouTubers, what he provided was.
'Just dubbing, and they're making this much money?'
His voice was unique.
Of course, after this experience broadcast, I had to entrust the script translation for the next video, and the platform, Qtube, would take a settlement fee.
But even including those costs, isn't that a significant return?
Lee Kyung-bok rubbed his face with both hands as if massaging it. The clown who had gone up showed no intention of coming down easily.
Soon he had to give that up too.
"uh?"
A new message arrived, accompanied by a short, ringing sound.
[>Call me when you confirm.]
There is an old saying that goes, 'Pumpkins come in on the vine.'
[>An additional promotional contract offer has been received.]
Lee Kyung-bok could feel the truth of that proverb.
