Episode 188 – A person who translates as a hobby
After Genome's defeat, the other members took turns taking on the role of exorcist.
Different members continued the game as exorcists, but the result was always the same.
-Oh lol what is tea bagging?
-Should I go out? Should I not? Should I go out? Should I not?
-Look at that rat bastard's karma stack building up againㅋㅋㅋ
-That's what happens when you're on the same team as Godple!
-The icon of Hogahowi ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Proving the upper againㅋㅋㅋ
-If you stick with Godple, you win everything.
The Jibakryung team continued to win consistently, with not a single person left behind.
“Well, that’s it for today’s orientation. It was a really fun orientation.”
After finishing the last game, Lee Kyung-bok turned his attention. With him, the location changed back to the studio.
-No, it's over already?!
-Kingny Godsseo immediately appeared on stage ㅋㅋㅋ
-What is it? Let's go play some more!
-Let's change OT to MT and do it for 2 days and 1 night!
-I miss youㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-You said it was a black company! You said it was a black company!
-Ah hahaha I have to get off work at 4am and go to work at 7am!
-If that's the case, isn't it not just black, but vantablack?
Viewers cried out in regret, but soon accepted reality.
“OT is good, but I need to focus on my main job now. Starting next time, we will start practicing for the Mystic League!”
“You can check the schedule on each employee’s bulletin board, our headquarters website, and the Purge Day fan cafe!”
Genome opened the screen while listening to Lee Kyung-bok's backstory. The fan cafe appeared along with each member's night fan page.
-If you are Korean, please join our fan cafe!
-Are there any shareholders who haven't joined the fan cafe yet?
-If you're a rat, wouldn't you just gather members, sell the cafe, and run?
-It suddenly became a used car trading cafe…
-No lol don't cross the line lol
-Really ㅋㅋ It's a meme, but there are people who think it's real!
Genome snorted as he read the chat responses.
“No, everyone. I’m the pants boss, the pants boss. Of course, the real owner is the boss, right?”
-Is this how black companies operate?
-Anyway, if there's a problem, Genome will be taken instead?
-Ah haha then it's King Jeong
Lee Kyung-bok decided to finish before the chat window continued.
“Okay, then we’ll see you again next time.”
“Have a nice night everyone!”
“Please look forward to the next ‘real’ broadcast!”
“Tva!”
The broadcast ended with everyone's greetings.
* * *
Late at night, at Cho Daehan's house.
He sent an email with a document full of English text attached.
“Huhhhhhhh!”
He stretched and stretched his body. He had just finished writing the script for the new Purge Day introduction video that was going to be uploaded.
'Should I rest for a bit until the confirmation comes?'
Now, Choi Byung-hoon was going to check the video that he had dubbed into the script. What Choi Byung-hoon was checking was not the content of the translation, but the length of the voice.
This was because there may have been differences in the synchronization between video and audio since Korean and English are different.
'When I see you taking care of even these details, I can tell there's a reason why everything is going well.'
It was something I learned anew from the perspective of an employee rather than a viewer.
The growth of the Perfect Play channel was based on Lee Kyung-bok's skills, but the support from those around him also had a significant impact.
'Now I'm one of them.'
Cho Dae-han felt a renewed sense of pride as he logged onto the Internet. Now it was time to begin his hobby, 'Translation Wagon'.
'Let's take a look at the highlights of today's broadcast.'
One of the good things about being part of Team Perfect is that he no longer has to cut clips during broadcasts.
This was because Choi Byeong-hun had already secured the video source while monitoring it.
'It's better than what I cut because the editor's sense was added to it.'
Cho Dae-han uploaded the saved video to the Japanese community. Dead by Exorcist is a game that is more popular in Japan than in North America.
Why else would Korean streamers use VPNs to connect to Japanese servers to play to avoid the veterans of the Korean servers?
“Oh, it’s coming out right now.”
Cho Dae-han translated the comments on the video with shining eyes.
[Are you lying? Hey! This is my first time playing? Don't treat me like an idiotwww]
[It's dangerous! This is super dangerous! This guy, isn't he Perfect Durante!? A demon hunter who also becomes a ghost hunter! (Laughs)]
[Eh-!? Occultist, is this kind of play possible? Fighting against a foldergeist, usually you get stunned on the spotwwww I feel so bad for the opponentwwww]

People were impressed by his performance as an exorcist in the beginning, but the reaction grew even bigger when Lee Kyung-bok joined the Ji-bak-ryeong team.
[Eh-? What is this? Eh-? No miss until the barrier is lifted?! This guy is a monster wwwww]
[I thought it was an edit. So I looked for the original myself. All I could say was, 'Huh? I can't believe it!', 'This is absolutely not in the realm of humans!' (laughs)]
[I tried to follow Purple's know-how. I tried to endure the light, but it was impossible. Wow! Absolutely not! This is impossible! (ﾟДﾟ;)]
[Break through the laser trap! Go away! (ﾉ･Д･)ﾉ!!!]
[I feel fortunate that the Korean and Japanese servers are separate? Never tie them to Asia! Keep the peacewwww]
Cho Dae-han laughed as he organized his reactions. There was also a sense of satisfaction that came from the so-called 'patriotic sentiment'.
'As expected, anyone can see that it's amazing.'
I was glad that Lee Kyung-bok's skills were recognized regardless of his nationality. Furthermore, he is no longer a being beyond the screen, but the boss of the company he works for.
The sense of belonging was different than before.
[>Okay, thank you for your hard work.]
At that time, a message from Choi Byeong-hun arrived on the computer.
[>I uploaded the video, so just check out the reactions]
The video, which was made using the script he translated, was uploaded as a YouTube membership video.
Cho Dae-han swallowed dry saliva and headed straight for the channel.
'Is it okay?'
Although I had initially intended to do my best without making any mistakes, since this was my first time taking on a task, I checked it more thoroughly. Still, I couldn't help but feel nervous.
'There are no comments yet.'
It was only natural since it had just been uploaded. Jo Daehan played the finished result.
It was a video explaining the process of forming the Purge Day Crew to foreign viewers.
It mainly introduced the first meeting between Lee Kyung-bok and Genome, how they became connected, and what kind of broadcast the three of them did when Eclipse joined.
“Wow, it’s still amazing even when I look at it again.”
As it was uploaded to the Perfect Play channel, Lee Kyung-bok's performance was mainly included.
Perfect Yummy and Artisan Anatomy, Gunner Ground Duo, Elden Soul Duel, and even Time Warfare events to the recent Mystic League 3-player free-rank game.
'The editor must have had a really hard time too.'
It was a video that selected only the highlights from among the highlights, so I couldn't take my eyes off it. Before I knew it, the video was over and about 20 minutes had passed.
'No, but I can't really care if the dubbing is wrong or not… … ?'
Jo Daehan blinked as if he had just woken up from hypnosis.
The visuals were beautiful, but because of Lee Kyung-bok's voice, it seemed like it would be impossible to tell even if the content itself was wrong. It was such a sweet voice that I wanted to keep listening to it.
If he is paying this much attention, how much more so must the average viewer be?
'First… …let's look at the comments.'
Still, what had to be done had to be done.
Cho Dae-han swallowed dry saliva and pressed refresh.
The video comments that appeared with it.
[-Oh my god, what a great video this is?! I feel like I got an end-of-year bonus!]
[-Purple tricked me! You clearly said you were only going to upload simple dubbing videos! It was a gift I didn't expect at all!]
[-LMFO, this is what you call perfect fan service?]
[-fu*k! Why doesn't YouTube make a 1-year membership option? I want to renew every year, not every month!]
The first comments that appeared, with the highest number of recommendations, were compliments on the video itself. Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any comments that took issue with the dubbing content.
Cho Daehan scrolled further down.
[-Ah, if it's Eclipse, then it deserves to be on that crew]
[He is a talented person recognized by From Studio]
[If these two people are like this, they will be able to defeat any monster that appears, right?]
[I didn't know that Eclipse started another game because of Purple]
[-Is this the Purge Day I know?]
[You said it was from a movie, right?]
[I think the name of the crew was created using each member's pronunciation]
[nPerfect Play+Genome+Eclipse]
[So does that mean there are people who start with 'de'?]
[But who the hell is Genome?]
People were very welcoming of Eclipse joining, but Genome was a little different.
[-GENOME, genetic level?]
[I've never heard of something called genetic level skill.]
[I think he's a famous streamer in Korea]
[I'm a little disappointed that none of the crew members are famous like Eclipse]
[-Your self-introduction is too arrogant. I doubt if you are qualified to be on a team like Purple.]
[There are some streamers who boast like that, right?]
[Not my type.]
[There must be a reason why it's popular.]
Although Genome is famous, it was only in Korea. Since it was not as well known as Eclipse, it was no different from a newcomer in the eyes of overseas viewers.
Moreover, since they are not just streamers who merge together but crew members, the standards have become even stricter.
But that assessment changed when a new comment was posted.
[-You guys should watch all of Purple's artisan anatomy videos on the GENOME channel]
[Someone kindly added all the subtitles]
[If you only see Purple's video, it must have been done by Purple's fans]
[lol, you've become a man who speaks well on a genetic level?]
[-Isn't that guy named Genome interesting?]
[I don't know much about his gaming skills, but his broadcasting skills are excellent!]
[Isn't he the MC of the Purge Day Crew?]
[Looking at how well he controls his speaking speed and pitch, I wonder if he might be a stand-up comedian?]
[In Korea, stand-up comedy shows are not mainstream.]
[Then it would be even more amazing]
These were comments left by people who had seen the genome video, not the introductory video.
In the video, which is mostly focused on highlights, Genome's gift for talking was not evident, but in this video, his strengths stood out.
[-Purple is happy to be with him. Isn't that enough to qualify?]
[I totally agree with this statement. In this video we see the 'cool' Purple, but in GENOME's video we see the 'happy' Purple]
[A person who can make Purple smile? No more conditions are needed.]
[It doesn't matter if he can't do his share, because Purple always does more than that.]
[-But what on earth is '추놈'? It comes out as 'Ugly Guy' in the translator.]
[Isn't the last name 'Choo'? Like that baseball player.]
[It could be self-deprecating humor. But it doesn't look that ugly.]
[It seems like it's hard to understand memes in Korean]
[lol, when I asked my friend, it wasn't a disparagement of looks. It's closer to 'disgraceful', meaning shameful.]
[Oh! I get it. LMFO, you're such a fun friend!]
Public opinion about the genome quickly turned positive, and related reports followed, leading to memes about the "ugly" and "rat" characters.
“No, that damn meme is becoming a monthly thing.”
Cho Dae-han read the comments and laughed.
Unintentionally, Genome became more famous as 'Chunom' than his original name. We saw before our eyes a local meme becoming a global meme.
But Cho Dae-han was sure that Genome would not dislike this fact at all.
'If you stay by the boss' side, you will naturally become known to the world.'
It is not easy to become known to the world. For the streaming industry, where recognition is everything, it must have been a dream come true.
However, Genome achieved that dreamlike feat without any additional effort. It was thanks to his unwavering commitment to 'Purple'.
“Phew, that’s a relief.”
Cho Daehan looked at the comments a little more and felt relieved. There wasn't a single comment criticizing the translation.
As I felt relieved, joy followed.
'This is so much fun and you even get paid for it? This is the perfect job.'
There is a saying called 'the harmony of one's interest and one's job'.
It was a phrase referring to a situation where the work you like and your job are the same.
That was exactly the case for Cho Dae-han.
'Let's watch a little more and then go to sleep.'
Cho Dae-han refreshed the comment again. Now it was purely a matter of 'fandom' rather than work.
While he was enjoying his hobby, there was one comment that caught his eye.
[-Why was the Purge Day Crew suddenly created? Is there any plan to do something together?]
[Maybe there will be more videos uploaded soon?]
[You can check it out at a place called NEVER's fan cafe?]
[Even if you sign up, you don't know Korean.]
[I ordered Korean textbooks from Maybezone. Maybe someday I can write a fan letter to Purple.]
There was a question about the future activities of the Purge Day Crew. Since this introduction video only showed the process of forming the Purge Day Crew, it was impossible to know.
After thinking about this for a moment, Cho Daehan posted a comment in English.
[-The first official activity of Purge Day is the Mystic League Amateur Tournament. Even though it is an amateur tournament, it is a large tournament with an official sponsor.]
It wasn't long after I posted that comment.
[Another user liked your comment.]
[Another user has commented on your comment.]
…
YouTube notification windows started popping up one after another like an emergency alarm.
“What, what is it?”
Cho Daehan was surprised and refreshed the comment he had just written.
[What? Purple is going to the competition?!]
[Is this true? And this is the Mystic League tournament?]
[What on earth are the organizers thinking? Purple is participating, so why aren't they promoting it?]
[LFMO, I won't watch MCK, but I will definitely watch this competition.]
[There's something else to watch with MCS!]
[When does it start? Damn, check the comments! I need to know the schedule to take a vacation!]
Jo Dae-han opened his mouth as comments piled up in real time. However, it didn't take long for his open mouth to turn into a smile.
'I have to post it on the community!'
Foreigners also couldn't hide their anticipation for Lee Kyung-bok's participation in the competition. How happy would Korean fans be if they knew this fact?
He quickly sorted through the comments, his eyes shining.
“This, this much… … ”
After posting on the community, Cho Dae-han leaned back in his chair.
Although it was an amateur competition, its format was not much different from the professional league.
And maybe.
“I wonder if there will be an explosion of reactions starting from the draw broadcast?”
If overseas fans also join in, the interest could be no different from that of the professional league.
