Episode 266 – Namdonnamsan Afterlife (4)
On the day of the joint broadcast filming.
Before the broadcast, there were a lot of people gathered in Seyoung's father's kitchen studio.
“Okay, the layout is complete. Would you like to take a look?”
As it was a commercial broadcast, the camera angle and lighting arrangement had to be meticulously prepared, so the host, Seyoung's father, led the staff of the advertiser, Cheomjedang. They looked around the kitchen and the room where the meal and talk would take place, and Seyoung's father, like a professional, had already laid out the samples.
“We just want the food to look delicious.”
“I wish the colors were a bit more vivid… … ”
“Oh, it’s not that difficult, right, Director?!”
He finished coordinating with the cinematographer based on the opinions of the people involved. The people involved were satisfied with the footage captured on camera.
“This much would be just right.”
“Just looking at it makes my mouth water.”
“Then, please enjoy your meal.”
At their answer, Seyoung's father smiled and distributed food to the staff and officials.
When we actually filmed it, we were going to make the same dish again.
Even though the tuning was finished, there was still no time to rest.
“Hey, our guest has arrived!”
“Oh, you’re early.”
It was earlier than scheduled, but there was no harm in coming early. At the manager's shout, Seyoung's father moved quickly.
As I opened the door to the waiting room in the studio, the first guest appeared.
“Oh, Genie! Thank you for coming.”
“No. What kind of hardship is there?”
The first person to arrive was Genome. He smiled warmly and shook my hand.
“I was really surprised when I heard the story. I’m really grateful that you made the bold decision to go to the bathroom, and that it was on my show.”
“Hey, I should be the one thanking you. You actually created a good opportunity for me.”
While the two were laughing and chatting, the manager opened the door.
“Brother, makeup artists.”
As the door opened and the makeup artists came in, Seyoung's father quickly introduced them.
“Ah, Mr. Genome, these are the people you invited from the first batch. You know that the first batch group is also famous for entertainment, right? We invited only the most outstanding people.”
“Oh, of course I know. I feel a little embarrassed when I think about getting my makeup done by someone who has seen celebrities’ faces.”
“Hey, no. It’s the same as working. Please take care of it.”
After greeting the makeup team, Genome started preparing her makeup, and soon the other guests arrived one by one.
“Hello! This is Skull Kim!”
“My name is Park Ja-cho! Dad, I’m a fan!”
“This is Eclipse. Please take good care of me.”
The three of them also greeted Seyoung's father and received makeup from the artist who was waiting.
“I guess Purple hasn’t arrived yet?”
“No, why am I shaking?”
Se-young's father smiled awkwardly at Skull Kim and Park Ja-cho's words. He tried not to show it on the outside, but he was feeling uneasy inside because the most important person, Lee Kyung-bok, had not arrived.
The genie smiled and said to him,
“Purple is very strict with her promises. You don’t have to worry about being late.”
“You are especially meticulous with your time. It’s not for nothing that you are so careless.”
Eclipse also smiled and added a word.
As if their words were right, the scheduled appointment time arrived.
“Hey, Purple is here!”
The manager's shout was heard from outside the door. Se-young's father opened the door in relief.
Everyone's eyes turned to him. Even the artists who were applying makeup did so.
'I heard you're the most important guest today?'
This was because I had already heard the story from the first sugar company officials.
Lee Kyung-bok, who had just entered, bowed his head politely to the people.
“Hello, I’m streamer Purple.”
There was a moment of silence.
Genome and Eclipse, who already knew the face, were laughing quietly as if they had expected it.
Others blinked as if they were possessed, looking at Lee Kyung-bok's face.
"and."
“This is crazy.”
People came to their senses with a little admiration from the makeup artists.
“No, Purple-sama?! Why are you so handsome!?”
“This is really too much. You really have it all!”
Skull Kim and Park Ja-cho asked questions, but smiles never left their faces.
Seyoung's father was the same, but his reaction was slightly different.
“Oh, Purple? It’s nice to meet you. But, excuse me. Miss, this is embarrassing. You’re so much more personable than I expected.”
He left the waiting room in a hurry with a happy yet troubled expression on his face.
Lee Kyung-bok wondered why, but soon found out the reason.
“I told you that if you see it in person, your thoughts will change.”
“No, I got confirmation, but what is…”
The cinematographer who entered the waiting room was bewildered and stopped. His eyes were fixed on Lee Kyung-bok.

Seyoung's father laughed at that reaction and patted the director on the shoulder.
“Am I right?”
“Wow, this is really… … ”
The director quickly glanced at Lee Kyung-bok and rolled his eyes with a serious expression.
“Huh, I really didn’t expect this skin tone. This shouldn’t be edited. If the color is too strong, this person’s skin will come out a bit strangely, and the viewers will definitely find it unnatural.”
Luckily, he was a pro.
It didn't take long to come up with a solution.
“Okay, let’s do this. Please apply makeup to this person to kill the tone while considering correction.”
"yes?"
“Other people look fine now. But this person is still receiving the screen too well. If we are going to adjust this, we need to find a balance.”
When Lee Gyeong-bok opened his eyes wide, Se-young's father held both of his hands and asked for understanding.
“I’ve invited many guests in the past, but this has never happened before. I’m sure it’ll look really good on screen, so please do it.”
“Oh, it’s okay. I was just surprised. I guess I’ll just come out here anyway.”
The atmosphere became soft again as Lee Kyung-bok readily accepted, pointing to my chin. As soon as he took his seat, the artist immediately got ready.
She looked closely at Lee Kyung-bok's skin and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
“But it’s not just your skin tone, your skin texture itself is really nice. It’s better than most female celebrities.”
“Hahaha, thank you.”
“No, I’m not just saying this, I’m serious. People often say you have porcelain skin, right? But this isn’t just porcelain, it’s a luxury product. It’s a luxury product. It must cost a lot to maintain.”
Lee Gyeong-bok responded to the compliment with an embarrassed expression.
“It’s okay. I don’t use cosmetics that expensive.”
“… Cosmetics?”
The artist's eyes widened.
Because the management she was talking about wasn't the concept of cosmetics.
“Don’t you go to a dermatologist?”
“Dermatologist?”
Lee Kyung-bok didn't understand the question. To him, a dermatologist was a hospital, and a hospital was a place where sick people went.
“No, then you don’t have to get any treatment or anything and your skin is like this… … ”
The artist was left speechless at that reaction.
'Celebrities also spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to maintain this type of skin… '
She had dealt with many celebrities, so she assumed that a dermatologist would have a prescription.
She moved her hands again and opened her mouth repeatedly.
“Wow, you are truly blessed. I am so jealous.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right. Your genes are completely different.”
Genome turned his eyes to her words.
“Huh? Genes? You mean what I said?”
Lee Kyung-bok eventually burst into laughter at that reaction.
In the meantime, the artist finished organizing.
“It’s over now. There’s nothing more I can do for you, just tone it down.”
I was the last to arrive and get my makeup done, but I was the first to finish.
Lee Gyeong-bok expressed his gratitude and told the others.
“I’ll go check with Seyoung’s father first.”
Since it was over quickly and he had some time to spare, he left the waiting room and looked for Seyoung's father.
“Ah! Are you done? That’s great. I was already talking to the people involved about Purple.”
“Are you talking about me?”
“Yes, I have a favor to ask… … ”
Seyoung's father spoke to Lee Gyeongbok in a very cautious manner.
“After seeing Purple in person, I wanted to try a slightly different broadcast composition.”
“What do you mean by composition?”
“Originally, the guests were going to use retort and meal kit products, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But this time, I was wondering if Purple could come into the kitchen with me like in the original content.”
“Me?”
When Lee Gyeong-bok was surprised, he quickly waved his hand.
“Oh, of course you’re not cooking. I’ll take care of that, but I’d like you to help me prepare the ingredients.”
Seyoung's father was confident.
“The picture of Purple standing in the kitchen, I think this will definitely sell.”
This visual had to be captured alone.
* * *
Late afternoon, Seyoung's father's channel.
The scheduled time of annexation was approaching.
-Oh, time really doesn't pass by
-There are 50,000 people waiting, okay?
-WA! It's a commercial broadcast and 50,000 people!
-Does the Purple Coin effect appear right before the broadcast?
-First sugar manufacturing manager: Smile^^
-Purge Day offline broadcast? I can't stand this!
-I applied for duty to watch the live broadcastㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah haha please start quickly!
-Father! Open the door!
There were over 50,000 viewers waiting before the broadcast. The chat room was filled with cries of anxious hearts, but the broadcast started at the scheduled time.
“Well, today is a really happy day.”
Seyoung's father appeared on the screen and opened his mouth with a bright smile.
“There are over 50,000 people watching in real time right now. Why don’t you watch like this normally?”
Seyoung's father was surprised by the number of viewers, but he conducted the broadcast skillfully and professionally. The chat room was filled with laughter at his comments.
“You must all be hungry. No, you should be hungry now. If you want to feel like sharing a meal, prepare dinner and come quickly.”
-I knew this would happen, so I ordered chicken in advance!
-Chicken? Of course it's the first Gourmand, right?
-omg
-Students, take care of yourselves^^
-Ah, lol. Isn't Houbigo dumplings and kimchi a must-have?
-Isn't there a trick you didn't prepare with the first kit?
While the viewers were chatting playfully, the screen changed to Seyoung's father's gesture.
“As those who know know, this is the guest kitchen, and where I am is the host kitchen.”
The broadcast was split into two screens. The screen captured the symmetrical kitchen, as if a mirror had been placed in the middle.
“I think the guests are hungry now, too. Let me introduce them quickly.”
At those words, Skull Kim and Park Japchae entered the guest kitchen.
“Hello! This is Skull Kim.”
“I’m Park Ja-cho! Nice to meet you!”
The two people greeted each other with voices full of energy. Seyoung's father smiled broadly at their tension.
-Is this the attitude of a heavy smoker (non-smoker)?
-It's on a whole different level from a smoker's vocal cords, Imariya
-Oh my gosh lol a skull hoodie lol
-Hawaiian shirt king lol
-Are you sure about your PR?
Since their faces were covered with masks, the two prepared costumes that matched their nicknames.
“Are you the two people who were in charge of the bottom line of Purge Day? You’ve been growing very quickly recently. Then, let’s invite the next person.”
At Seyoung's father's words, a sturdy man entered the kitchen. Unlike the two men before him, he was dressed in ordinary clothes.
-Oh my gosh lol Eclipse lol
-What about the knight helmet? Hahahahaha
-You really didn't wear that to the studio?
-True Knights Eclipse ㅠ
It was Eclipse, a man wearing an iron helmet that completely covered his face.
“Thank you for inviting me to dinner.”
Seyoung's father expressed his admiration at his greeting.
“The sturdy tower of Purge Day. Lord Eclipse has arrived. And next!”
He paused briefly and stepped out of the camera. His voice was heard as question marks appeared in the chat window.
“Purple, you’ve decided to help me out in the host kitchen. I’d like to give you a private shot, so I’ll do a quick narration.”
-omg?
-It's Godple's turn!?
-The big man is here! The big man is here! The big man is here!
-5252, you're finally here!
-Aren't you the type who doesn't do eye contact like Ikle?
-You might have prepared a 3D mask like when you unboxed it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It's been exactly 3 months, but it's still early for the ice rink, lol
-Even if only half of your face is shown, it's a huge decision
-Let's not make a fuss about appearance for no reason.
-Ah haha, behave yourself
The chat window was filled with a mixture of anticipation and worry. Seyoung's father held back a laugh at the reaction.
Soon, the camera zoomed in on the host's kitchen. He gestured to Lee Kyung-bok, who was waiting, then cleared his throat and prepared his speech.
“You guys will be really surprised.”
With his words, Lee Kyung-bok entered the screen. The camera slowly moved from bottom to top to capture Lee Kyung-bok.
-Wow lol you really have a great body
-ㅁㅊ What kind of shirt fit?
-What the heck! Why is the avatar really unedited!?
– The apron tied with a ribbon makes the gluteus maximus more visible
-Ah haha, you live alone in this world!
-Isn't this real fat hatred?
-Was it that region? Lol
Lee Kyung-bok rolled up his white shirt to his arms and wore a dark brown apron. Viewers were left exaggeratedly chatting about the body lines he revealed.
But soon the camera catches his face.
-?
-????
-What is it?
-and
-No, f*ck
-You mean the real Godple?
Even though he's wearing a mask, his nose is visible, his lips are clearly visible underneath, and his smooth jawline is evident.
Viewers could easily guess Lee Kyung-bok's level of appearance just by looking at some of it.
I was momentarily confused by that completely unexpected sight.
-hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Why are you handsome? Why are you handsome? Why are you handsome?
-Wow lol Even just looking at his lower body, he's so handsome dammit!
-What is life balance? What is life balance? What is life balance?
-Ah, haha, you're a god so you can do whatever you want?
-There's nothing that Godple can't do, so there wasn't even anything that looked 'bad', right?
-No lol I can't help but be amazed lol
-You fooled me! You fooled me! You fooled me!
The chat window began to stir.
'I'd faint if I knew you intentionally toned down my skin.'
Seeing that reaction, Seyoung's father was once again convinced that his choice was not wrong.
“Haha! This is streamer Purple. Today, I will be helping Seyoung’s father in the kitchen for a day!”
The chat window became even more lively with Lee Kyung-bok’s greeting.
-Kitchen assistant? Why isn't Dad an assistant?
-You can tell just by looking at him that he has the force of a chef ㅋㅋㅋ
-A visual that makes anything you make taste good ㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah haha, why did you go to Le Cordon? You could have just been born like this haha
-Really ㅋㅋ If you just give me one cup of each type of water, I'll be able to reserve it all
-What the f*ck is mineral water omakase?
-Is this what it means to feel full just by looking at it?
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the viewers' warm welcome. Soon, Se-young's father entered the kitchen again and continued the show.
“As expected, everyone really liked it. It was worth my active efforts to recruit them. Now, let’s invite the last guest!”
With that comment, this time the guest kitchen was captured exclusively on screen. The other three people who had entered first were already out of the camera.
-?
-Isn't it your turn?
-You're an employee, so why a solo shot?
-What? What are you implying?
-Ah haha, you're the president of Pants.
-Can't you just keep the Godple screen on and have only the voice come out?
-Oh my gosh, isn't that too much?
While the viewers were joking, Genome entered the kitchen.
Unlike other people, he was not wearing a mask.
-omg?
-You're a fool!?
-mchdmchng
-What is it! Why do you look so fine!?
-Who are you! Where did my brother go!?
-The older brother I knew was the neighborhood idiot…?
-How far has that bastard fallen? How dare he send a substitute on air?
-Or is that actually a mask?
-Considering that rat is shameless, he has the potential to be king.
-What kind of face mask is this? Lol
The chat room was filled with surprise for reasons other than Lee Kyung-bok's. Among them were the typical jokes of Genome fans.
“Hello! I’m Genome, the man who reveals his genetics! It’s better than you think, right?”
Genome greeted him as brightly as he could. He tried not to show it, but he couldn't help but feel nervous, so he forced himself to raise his tension.
With that greeting, the atmosphere in the chat room changed again.
-What about genetic disclosure? LOL
-You even made a face and said this much?
-Ah haha, that's right, you punk
-Why is shame our lot?
-Huh? You've been doing broadcasts like that with that kind of face?
-It looks fine on the outside, but why is it like this on the inside?
Fortunately, the viewers teased him as usual, which gave Genome a sense of relief.
“Oh, the genomes are doing this again. Did you forget what I always said during the merger? Tone and Manner! Don’t you know?”
Thanks to that, he was able to return to his usual self.
“Now, guys, don’t get me wrong! Genome isn’t a curse word here! It’s a viewer nickname! Wow, I’m already sweating from the start.”
Seyoung's father returned to the screen with a smiling expression, contrary to his words.
The viewers were satisfied with it.
-Oh my gosh lol Dad is sweating
-It’s not easy to ride Purple Coin, right?
-It's already getting crazy lol
-5252, Purge Day! Are you even 'purging' the advertisements? Lol!
-Is this broadcast a sign of a 'big hit'? Will it become a 'sign' of a big hit?
-The after-event party is definitely happening ㅋㅋㅋ
-Really ㅋㅋ The rule is that the aftermath is to go crazy ㅋㅋㅋ
It was clear from the start that this was not going to be a boring broadcast.
