Episode 452 – Welcome to Purple Office (4)
The first day of Purple Office opening.
Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast time has arrived.
“Tha! How are you, shareholders?”
Lee Gyeong-bok appeared with a playful bow and his usual greeting.
-Phew!
-President Per, come quickly lol
-Greetings ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
-A company that treats its shareholders well!?
-Oh my gosh, this is correct!
-Isn't it normal to ask how many weeks you've had it? (I really don't know)
-omg!
The viewers also took the greeting as a joke. Lee Kyung-bok expressed his gratitude again with a bright smile.
"As many of you already know, Purple Office sold out early today. It's all thanks to the support of our shareholders!"
-No lol The quality is so bad that I'm going to buy it!
-Really lol It's like threatening with a knife
-What is the Percal Association? LOL
-I'm telling you, the time I waited was worth it!
-???: This is a staged example
-???: May differ from actual product
-Oh my, isn't that what it means?
-Advertisements don't reflect reality, isn't that common sense?
-Purple Office is a world where perfect common sense applies, right?
Viewers who visited on the first day poured out their thoughts as if they had been waiting for it.
-I saw it on TV and it was really awesome lol
-I'm so jealous of the people who went today
-Oh my gosh, I should have gone on the first day.
-Ah, Spo Evande
-I kept my eyes closed because I was afraid of getting spoiled!
-What the hell are you talking about lol
Viewers who hadn't yet visited expressed their envy. Lee Kyung-bok responded with a smile to the flood of chatter.
"My team and I, as well as the Shop Fandom members, were very pleased with today's achievement. Honestly, I didn't expect this many people to show up."
-It was expected that it would sell out completely lol
-Really lol the question was how long I could hold out
-The remaining 6 days are all sold out lol
-There were no perfect goods to begin with, so we couldn't sell them?
-Hyung? I think you need some self-reflection!
-Ah haha, it's not a pop-up, it's a permanent store!
-Isn't it right that the Aurora Office is coming to the Purple Department Store?
-What the hell is a reverse world? LOL
Lee Kyung-bok smiled awkwardly at the viewers' response.
"No, it really exceeded my expectations. And it was only my first day, so I was worried something might go wrong, but the staff were absolutely amazing! They did such a great job that my worries were unfounded."
-This really deserves praise lol
-Perfect part-time workers are so friendly lol
-Really lol I thought I was totally a baby
-It's not even a 5 minute wait, it's a 5 second wait lol
-How can someone like this be the same level as me?
-It's our first meeting, but I think of you as a t-shirt, so my intimacy with you skyrocketsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-There were so many people, but it was really comfortable!
Lee Kyung-bok didn't forget the hard work of his employees. As viewers sympathized, he spoke with even more excitement.
"Oh, that's right. But what surprised me even more was how orderly the people who showed up were. Even though they had to wait for quite some time, they didn't complain at all, and they were even considerate of the other shareholders… Wow, I was truly moved watching the Ji employee broadcast."
His sincere words and expression filled the chat window with laughter.
-Huh? Godple is giving us a thrill?!
-5252, did you just show shareholder action? LOL!
-But honestly, I felt so proud while watching the broadcast lol
-Even the shareholders who were standing in line were surprised lol
-How is this a trick? What is the trick I knew?
-If I had just followed the instructions by myself, I would never have been able to do it.
-Right, lol since we all protect each other, it just became natural.
-I feel a bit cautious because I'm wearing a perfect hoodie lol
-The Percussionists have already proven their unity during the Metal Punch competition.
The viewers, too, were proud of themselves. With the excitement building for the broadcast, Lee Kyung-bok decided to make the announcement he'd prepared.
“Yes, I feel very sorry for all the kindness you all have shown me.”
A question mark appeared in the chat window at the apology. Did Lee Kyung-bok ever do something like that?
"While I'm truly delighted that it's sold out, some of the people who took the time to visit me left empty-handed. So, after much deliberation, I've decided to make a request to Shop Fandom."
A question mark appeared in the chat window again, but this time with a different meaning.

-request?
-Are you releasing more goods?
-Can that happen overnight? lol
-HOXY online ordering open?
-Oh? Aren't you doing this after the pop-up ends?
-Immediately connect
-Ah haha isn't that generating heat again? haha
Viewers had no idea what he had in store. Instead, they expected it to be an online sales launch, postponed to promote pop-up store sales.
“It’s not online sales, it’s this.”
Lee Kyung-bok glanced at the viewers and flicked his fingers. Then, the photo zones and broadcast studios set up in each pop-up store appeared.
As you've seen in our commercials, each photo zone features a 1:1-size Permusae figurine. After the pop-up store closes, we'll raffle off a prize to one of our shareholders who visit each branch.
He revealed the details of the agreement he had reached with his representative. For a moment, the chat window seemed to freeze, but then it began to rapidly surge.
-????????
-to?
-You're giving me a real Permusae figure instead of a mini one?!
-WA! Limited Edition!
-Only 4 in the world!
-What the heck lol Are you just giving me this?
-Even if you don't buy goods, you still have a chance if you just visit!?
-Idiot! Only the shareholders know this idiot!
(Breaking News) Request to rename the "Giving Tree"! "Compared to Purple, it's too frugal. We'll change it to "Giving Tree" (Sparing Tree).
-Well, lol, the tree still has its stump left.
-Hyung, you're really amazing, lol
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at him but waved his hand.
“No, I’m not just going to give it to you.”
I guess there are conditions.
The moment the viewers focused on him, Lee Kyung-bok continued his explanation.
"Some of you may remember. I laser-engraved the very first item I made, a Gemalcon figure. This time, as it's a limited edition, I'll also engrave the winner's desired phrase and my autograph."
It wasn't just a freebie, but there were even better terms attached. The viewers were astonished and cheered.
-It's already a limited edition just by existing, and now it has custom engraving!?
-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)
-Hey lol. If that's the case, then it doesn't matter whether you buy the goods or not.
-Immediate departure
-The house I was looking for was here^^
-Is this the holy relic I've only heard about?
-What is the Purple Hole expansion speed!
-It wasn't an event horizon, it was a horizon of happiness?
-Ah haha, you're saying I just have to throw myself into the purple hole?!
Lee Kyung-bok smiled with satisfaction at the reaction of the viewers full of anticipation.
"Yes, so if you visit the Purple Office, please don't forget to issue a paper certificate! Oh, and this is a separate matter."
There's one last announcement left. Lee Kyung-bok's words immediately caught the viewers' attention.
"Today, we had a special opportunity for Mr. Ji to work at our Gangnam branch. First of all, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for his hard work. Today is a break, and tomorrow, I'll be working with Mr. Ji on the broadcast."
It was news of a merger with Genome.
Although he first suggested creating a broadcast angle, Lee Gyeong-bok's principles remained the same.
As kindness deserves to be repaid with kindness, Lee Kyung-bok promised to appear on Genome's channel.
“We’ll be hearing your thoughts and feedback about working at Purple Office, so please look forward to it!”
-Even the interview with the employee reflects reality?!
-Haha …
-That bastard played around so he should pay!
-???: You have to pay to see this kind of thing!
-What is this, intellectual property? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-You made a foreign guest cry, so your performance evaluation should reflect that!
Viewers were delighted by the news and did not hide their anticipation.

After the broadcast, the Purge Day fan cafe.
[Busan branch open run status.jpg]
[I got an autograph from an intern and took a certification shot lol]
[Wow lol I interviewed a meta gamer]
[Tier One sent me coffee and toast. real]
[What? Seahorse in line?]
[There were this many smugglers among the listeners?]
[No lol what kind of try party is this]
On the first day, countless testimonials from the advance team's fans piled up. With Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast over, the backlog of testimonials piled up even more.
[Wow lol I thought you were a streamer for 4 years, not 4 months lol]
[There's no Najax Godple anymore! Right!?]
[Najax will be king of Godple around 'LKB2202']
[Oh my gosh, it's the first day, right?]
[Actually, not even a day lol]
[Really lol At that time, the dog gum was stuffed into Tweety lol]
[Isn't the Metagamer article also about the influencer tab?]
[In this industry, Godple is more famous than Aurora lol]
From the open run waiting line to the food truck sent by Tier One, to the eyewitness accounts from various streamers.
Fans were able to feel Lee Kyung-bok's popularity once again.
However, that was a story limited to the personal broadcasting industry.
[The T-shirts all know this, but the Kingban people don't know much about it]
[Really ㅋㅋ If you say you're a YouTuber, you're a nobleman]
[I heard people passing by saying that they mistook it for a fashion brand lol]
[The design is so good that it's easy to misunderstand lol]
[If you don't like games, you might not know lol]
It was still an unfamiliar name to those who were not interested in personal broadcasting or games.
Fans were disappointed, but they understood the reason.
[It's because there are so many smugglers these days lol]
[Really lol. People who are a bit older will only know if it's on terrestrial or cable TV]
[But you only look for cooking and traveling, lol]
[My brother is a Jonggamer, so it's a bit difficult]
[Ah …
I wish more people could get to know the characters I like, but the circumstances were not conducive to that.
[This guy is actually better overseas than in Korea lol]
[Really lol, just look at Reddit or Twitter and you'll get the idea]
[I saw that you have a lot of loyal fans in Japan when I watched your broadcast]
[If they come to Korea, they must be die-hard fans lol]
So they turned the topic to overseas countries where conditions were better.
[Overseas Koreans' reviews are here lol]
Perhaps because of the reactions of Japanese fans revealed on the broadcast, some fans have translated Twitter's reactions.
[Ah, Shunko cried. Aaah, it was such an embarrassing sight…! But Shunko has absolutely no regrets! But Purple-san, didn't you tell Shunko yourself? I mean, Purple-san is a real angel! So kind! I can tell you're a really good person! Ah, this is so super-dangerous! Korea is so great!]
[Wow! Purple Office was truly another world! Or was it heaven? Everyone was smiling and happy. I'm thrilled to be one of them! No, no, I don't want to go back to Japan at this rate.
[Oh, of course, I came to Korea because of Purple Office. This is a long-awaited vacation, so shouldn't I enjoy it? Let's start our Korean journey with Perfect Goods!
Ah, Purple Office Sinchon branch! I've conquered it. The perfect tour starts now! Tomorrow is Gangnam, the day after that, Daegu, and finally Busan! Mr. Purple, is this the course for me? I can just take a boat back right away, right?
These posts had a significant number of likes and retweets. At least Japanese fans were doing well.
[There are real overseas Koreans, lol]
There was also an article that looked at the reactions of the North American community Reddit.
[WTF? Purple opened a store!?]
Damn, this has to be fake news! I won't believe it!
[Guys, can you believe this? Purple made a special commercial just for their Japanese fans!]
[Nah, but we're in a non-delivery area? We need to resolve that first!]
[OMG, what the hell is the problem? Aren't Korea and the US allies? Why are you discriminating against us?]
[Seriously, I think ShopFandom's shipping area should be outside of Asia. Because Purple isn't just an Asian streamer!]
[So funny, instead of that, how about contacting Maybezone? Tell them to quickly form a partnership with Shop Fandom. Wouldn't that be faster? XD]
This was the response of those who did not even receive support for overseas shipping, let alone pop-up stores.
The viewers realized it anew.
[-Alliance joke, f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-I feel so bad for the American listeners ㅠ]
[-Ah ㅋㅋ If you're curious, come by riding a bangee ㅋㅋㅋ]
[-If you really want to come, you can come, right? (I really don't know)]
[-When I see things like this, it doesn't matter if it's terrestrial or cable, lol]
[-The whole world is falling into a purple hole, Imariya]
[-Isn't that industry lagging behind the trends?]
[-ㄹㅇㅋㅋ It's not that Godple isn't known, it's just that the broadcasting industry is too slow to react]
The traditional broadcasting industry was no longer the center of media.
* * *
The next morning.
Lee Kyung-bok finished his morning exercise as usual and took a light shower.
'Well, I want to see it again.'
I was curious about the status of the pop-up store.
I've seen Genome's broadcasts plenty, but today was going to be different. I wanted to see the new fans excited.
'Because there's no such thing as a genomic type.'
Then he shook off his wet hair and launched the try application.
[Buy it today! Purple Office goods 2nd set!]
[Purple Office Waiting Room]
[I came to buy a mini permuse^^]
Purple Office With Me!
Quite a few streamers were hosting Purple Office tours. Some even spoke in English, perhaps aiming to attract international viewers.
'Hmm…'
Although there were numerous channels, Lee Kyung-bok was reluctant to enter broadcasting.
'Something feels off.'
I didn't feel very good.
Unlike Genome, the streamers currently broadcasting were not familiar with him, and most of them had limited viewers. But that wasn't the only reason.
'If I go in here…'
Lee Kyung-bok carefully tried to deduce the reason behind his intuition. After a moment of reflection, something clicked in his mind.
'You probably know it by looking at my ID.'
In a broadcast with few viewers, the viewer list is easily visible. His presence on the broadcast itself shouldn't be a problem.
In fact, it would be a good thing for the streamer. The mere fact that he visited would likely attract attention.
'That's the problem.'
However, if such a case were to arise, there would be streamers who would rush in just to take advantage of it.
Even though they are not fans, wouldn't people flock to Lee Kyung-bok's broadcast just to get a hold of one issue?
'It's going to be difficult in many ways.'
Lee Kyung-bok thought of an alternative to that.
How about logging out and just watching the broadcast?
"huh?"
At that moment, a group chat notification appeared along with a faint vibration.
[>Making film almost finished!]
[>I think I can upload it within the day after tomorrow at the latest?]
This morning, I saw a message from Park Joo-ho below the message left by the video team.
[>I saw this while managing the fan cafe]
[>A precious person has arrived]
A link address was attached to the short message. Lee Kyung-bok's eyes widened when he saw the address.
Serengeti?
It was the address of the broadcasting platform Serengeti TV. Lee Kyung-bok's eyes widened as he saw the thumbnail and title below the link.
[Outdoor Broadcast] Here Comes New Customer!]
It was a very familiar face, a broadcast on his shoulder. He had come to Purple Office.
'No, Mr. Shoulder?!'
It was at this moment that Lee Kyung-bok was surprised and was about to press the link.
[>You're not alone, are you?]
A smile appeared on Lee Kyung-bok's face as he continued to talk to Park Joo-ho.
[>It seems like Triple and Yattaman are guiding us]
It was because welcome names came out one after another.
