Episode 460 – Perfect for Hours (1)
Late evening, Fuzzy Day fan cafe.
[Is it really a holiday today?]
[I miss the days of broadcasting 7 days a weekㅠㅠ]
[If a week had 8 days, it would be broadcast on the 7th, lol]
[Hey, lol then I have to go to work on the 6th!]
[I don't think I'll do it now?]
[Ah…! Fighting, office workers…!]
On days when Lee Kyung-bok isn't on air, there are usually relatively fewer posts, but today was different.
[Thanks to Purple Office, some of the loss has been compensated?]
[When will the queue be over? LOL]
[I want to buy it again after seeing the Permusae figure in person lol]
[Aren't you going to do any reporting today? LOL]
Who am I? Perficional Light Listener!
As it was the week of Purple Office's operation, it was a blessing for fans to be able to assuage their disappointment.
[Awesome! I got an autograph from Denunna!]
Among them was a post about decibels. Many fans expressed envy at the joy shown along with the autograph authentication.
[-Huh? Did Denunna come too?]
[-If you receive a lesson, you repay it, isn't that common sense?]
[-How can a graduate student not attend a professor's event?]
[-The students of Dehakwon are kings!]
[-Ah haha why didn't you turn on the broadcast!]
[-Wow, I can't see the broadcast angle]
But since it was the week of Purple Office operation, another regret came to mind.
[Is tomorrow really the last chance?]
[Purple Office is closing…?]
[Ah haha don't lie, seriously]
[If you look at the line for the open run, it's obvious that it's the first day, right?]
[Wasn't it supposed to be an 8-day week?]
[What is denial of reality? LOL]
The last day of the pop-up store was approaching. I wanted to ignore that fact, but time didn't slow down.
One post along the way quickly got recommended.
[Breaking News] Purple Office Extends Hours to 12 PM!
Someone had copied a notice posted on Aurora Department Store's Stellagram. It said all four branches would extend their operating hours until midnight on their final day.
[-Kya hahaha this is it!]
[-What is this? Why is this real news?]
[-Did Aurora really get a taste of Purple Coin?]
[-As expected from a Korean company!]
[-From now on, department store gift certificates will be Aurora]
[-Admit it, Aurora, you deserve to collaborate with Godple]
[-Why are you being so king-like? LOL]
Most fans were happy, but some were puzzled.
[-Huh? Aurora?]
[-Won't the goods sell out around 4 o'clock anyway?]
[-I heard there are more embroidered shirts?]
[-Even so, it's already cut off around 5 o'clock anyways ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-After closing, isn't there no other way to spend the money?]
[-Isn't it possible that Aurora is receiving something more from Godple?]
They saw no benefit to Aurora from the extended operation, so they worried that Lee Kyung-bok might be at a disadvantage.
[<Broadcast Schedule> Purple Office is… ending service… (Huh? What?)]
The newly posted broadcast notice showed that it was groundless.
[-Notice title is crazy lol]
[-Oh? Is this what Godple requested for extended operation?]
[-King Bro! I'm going to make the people who buy paper securities!]
[-If you didn't take a certification shot, take them all and go, Imari-ya ㅋㅋㅋ]
[-Look at the Perfect Albas not being made to work overtime.]
[-You said it was a black company! You said it was a black company!]
[-Aurora staff control? Maybe a little scary?]
[-The Light-Changing People are good at maintaining order, right?]
The notice included information on the reason for the extended operation and the situation at Purple Office on the last day.
Since overtime work was not pre-arranged, safety personnel took over control on the last day instead of the workers.
[-Oh, tomorrow is a bit late]
[-Hyung? Is it true that it ends that late?]
[-Ah haha, you want to watch the last episode of Purple Office together?]
[-Godful and until dawn? ㅇㅎㄹㅈㅇ]
[-Kya haha I'm looking for all the snacks for tomorrow]

[-Eating it every day lol]
[Student? Can't you read the mood right now?]
It also included the fact that the broadcast would start later than usual in order to coincide with the end of Purple Office.
Fans expressed their joy for him.
[-This guy really only thinks about the listeners!]
[-ㄹㅇㅋㅋ There's no need to say anything regretful about Aurora]
[-Ah, this is what fan service is.]
[-It was perfect all the way to the end!]
[-Miss, lol, do I have to go one more time?]
[-Why go again? What's there to eat?]
If this is the case, tomorrow.
[-After the store closed, only the purveyors were at the Aurora Department Store]
[-???: Kingban people, get out quickly. Today, this place is the perfect place!]
[-Oh really?]
[-What is it? Why is it real!?]
[-Perfect hideout ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ]
Aurora Department Store was to be a place exclusively for Lee Kyung-bok and his fans.
* * *
Last day at Purple Office.
Lee Kyung-bok's daily routine was the same as usual.
'The stimulation is a bit bland⋯'
After his morning workout, he agonized over preparing a meal. Since it was a protein-based meal, it didn't take long.
'I need to change my exercise routine.'
He settled down and started YouTube. He found "Muscle Gallery," a channel he'd been indebted to for a long time for its workout tips.
“⋯Huh?”
Lee Kyung-bok's eyes widened.
Mindungsan, the owner of Muscle Gallery, was hosting a YouTube live broadcast. The location of the broadcast in the thumbnail looked very familiar.
Purple Office?
Lee Kyung-bok opened his eyes wide and immediately connected to the live broadcast.
<Mindungsan! I'm a fan!>
"No? How did you know? It was perfect makeup."
Mindungsan was talking to a fan who recognized him.
“No⋯”
A laugh escaped Lee Kyung-bok's mouth.
Mindungsan was wearing a distinctive silicone mask and fake beard, with a purple Perfect Hoodie underneath.
[-How could you not know when you're wearing leggings and shorts? LOL]
[-At this point, I just asked you to understand!]
[-If you take off your mask and go, no one will recognize you lol]
[-You can't hide just by wearing a perfect hoodie, lol]
The reaction from YouTube viewers was similar. Mindungsan continued speaking while signing autographs for fans.
"No, I'll be completely honest. I was a bit worried on the way here. I was worried the line might get a little chaotic because of me, or that it might get stuck."
As he said that, Mindungsan turned the camera around, covering the top of the screen, to show the line still standing.
Wow, look at this. This is no joke. I saw on the news that the people who watch the streams are keeping order. No, I really didn't know it would be this bad.
[-ㄹㅇㅋㅋ If you wear the perfect hoodie, you'll be able to protect everything well]
[-Ah, is that the dignity of a listener?]
[-It seems like the order tendency is attached to the item options?]
[-What are you talking about lol]
Lee Kyung-bok put chicken breast in his mouth with a pleased expression at the viewers' praise for Mindungsan.
But even in that midst of all this, I do everything I can. Look here. People are asking for autographs from both the front and the back. I don't usually sign a lot of autographs, but this is a first. I'm so serious about maintaining order that it's scary.
Mindungsan quickly signed while saying that. Lee Gyeongbok hesitated for a moment before opening the YouTube support feature, "Hyperchat."
'It's only right to at least say hello.'
Here's another tip for our listeners. While you're waiting, don't just watch YouTube videos! There's also a simple exercise you can do.
While Lee Kyung-bok was registering his payment method, Mindungsan, like a professional, did not empty the audio.
"I love this, I really love it! And it's easy! You know those magpie-toes? If you slowly raise and lower like this, your calves will be in perfect sync. It's called a calf raise exercise…>
[-immediately.movement]
[-Minitsu www Here too, muscle growth is not missed www]
[-Hyung, just do one!]
[-True lol Don't demonstrate your movements while signing lol]
While viewers were enjoying it, Lee Kyung-bok finished writing the sponsorship message.
['Perfect Play' – ₩10,000]
Hello? Can you see me?
As soon as I finished paying, a HyperChat notification sound rang on the screen.
Wow! Thanks for the HyperChat… Huh!?
Mindungsan reacted with a low sigh, then became startled.
[-????????????]
[-ㅁㅊ? Are you serious?]
[-Looking at the logo, it seems real?]
[-Could even the logo be counterfeit?]
[-Oh my gosh lol this is real lol]
[-ㄹㅇㅋ All purchase records are kept, so who would use this to impersonate someone? ㅋㅋ]
[-The CEO himself appears ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
Viewers reacted similarly. While YouTube allows users to create numerous accounts simply by verifying their email address, leading to numerous impersonators, none of the accounts involved in "hyperchat."
"No, no, Purple? Wow, I'm seriously so surprised. I was as surprised as when you open your bag after a workout and there's no protein shake."
“Oh, really⋯”
He looked genuinely surprised, but still, a pro is a pro. Lee Kyung-bok laughed at Mindungsan's comment.
['Perfect Play' – ₩10,000]
[I saw your live stream while looking for exercise tips. Thanks for stopping by!]
Mindungsan immediately snapped his fingers.
Oh, great. This is so great! Where do you go when looking for exercise tips? It's Muscle Gallery! Even our Purple visits this channel!
[-This guy is really funny lol]
[-If it's a Godple guarantee, then it's worth it
lol]
[-If it's a formal, you're the king of kings lol]
[-Exercise⋯ Muscle Gallery⋯ Memo⋯]
The viewers, who were also fans of Mindongsan, enjoyed it as well. Soon, he quickly moved his hand.
<No, but I'm here to be a fan, so you shouldn't spend money on me. I'll just take out Purple's chat and put it in a separate section. Okay, Purple! Feel free to ask! Where are you doing today?>
Lee Kyung-bok thought about it for a moment and then typed in the chat.
[-I'm a pro among pros, so I can't get free consultation.]
[-I wanted to thank you for visiting Purple Office haha]
Mindungsan clapped his hands with a sigh.
<Wow! Thank you so much for acknowledging me like this. Thank you so much. But if I ever get the chance, I'd love to invite you over and have a proper talk about exercise.>
[-ㅋㅋㅋ The picture came out well]
[-Purple also seems to have worked out really well]
[-Perfect Play X Muscle Gallery]
[-Perfect Muscle ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ]
[-What is it? Come out quickly!]
Lee Kyung-bok wrote the chat with a smile in response to the viewers' response.
[-Actually, Muscle Gallery has been sending me love calls consistently, haha]
[-I know you might be upset, but I'm really grateful that you kept coming back.]
Since the broadcast began, Muscle Gallery has been making proposals at least once a month. From start to finish, the proposals were tailored to me.
<That's right. I'm really greedy. To be honest, there's a broadcast angle to it, but I'm a fan myself. Especially shooting! Isn't Purple-nim amazing? I was surprised again after watching this Steel Tail broadcast. Decibel-nim pointed out the key points so well. Thanks to him, I've been holding my breath and shooting while playing games lately. It's really gotten better.>
Mindungsan's answer surprised not only Lee Kyung-bok but also the viewers.
“No… did you really see it?”
[-This guy is serious lol]
[-This isn't lip service, it's real lol]
[-It's not easy to not watch Godple's broadcasts lol]
[-If you want to maintain Korean citizenship, you have no choice but to do this lol]
Mindungsan looked at the chat and made an active appeal.
<No, I'm saying this because I'm a true fan. I bought all the goods that came out before! Seriously, I bought them all. Oh, and I also have this. The OTP tumbler! I really like it when I shake everything in it! Really good! No, seriously! I didn't have high expectations, but the seal is amazing. No leaks, even if I shake it roughly.>
[-No lol what kind of PPL is this]
[-This guy seems more passionate about selling his own goods?]
[-This level of tension on an outdoor broadcast in a live broadcast?]
[-You must have really had fun lol]
[-Meanwhile, the usability is good ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ]
He took out an OTP tumbler from the bag he had brought and pointed it at the camera.
<And today, I pulled out a paper certificate and tried to verify it on Stellagram. I really wanted to see it. Purple, please consider it. You're revealing it to your viewers to some extent now, aren't you?>
Lee Gyeong-bok nodded at Mindungsan's words.
'Well, things are different now than they were the first time.'
I was asked a similar question during a Metagamer interview. At the time, I had no intention of revealing my face, but things are different now.
[-That's true. But it's hard to give you an answer right now, haha;]
It was still in the thinking stage.
And even if you feel like it.
'The first thing I do on my channel is for my viewers.'
It was right to prioritize one's own viewers over others.
<Ah⋯>
Mindungsan sighed softly at that answer. But that wasn't all.
[-But I will promise you one thing here.]
<A promise?>
[-If I were to do a sports-related broadcast, Muscle Gallery would be my first choice.]
A favor had to be returned with a favor.
I had no intention of letting Mindungsan's efforts go to waste.
<Oh, good! You all saw it now, right!? Purple-nim promised! I'd love to do it right now, but I'm also a Purin right now, right? I'll hold back for the sake of maintaining order.>
[-WA! Perfeccial!]
[-Wow this works lol]
[-Perfect Muscle! Perfect Muscle! Perfect Muscle!]
[-Is this collaboration real? The pectoralis major muscle is getting bigger.]
[-This guy, how about the 3rd measurement?]
[-If you take Godple to the shooting range, it'll be super fun lol]
[-Does that skill show up offline too?]
[-Is it just me who thinks this is already fun?]
Mindungsan and the chat window were filled with joy.
[-Grandeul will only accept your heart ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[-I hope you have a great time!]
Lee Kyung-bok left the broadcast, smiling and leaving a message. If he kept watching, even Mindungsan would become burdened.
'It sure would be fun.'
He smiled as he imagined the appearance of Muscle Gallery.

Late evening, Aurora Department Store Gangnam Branch.
“Ah, I’m full⋯”
Metagamer reporter Shin Hye-rim finished dinner at the food court next to the event venue. Before taking her empty plate to the exit, she checked her seat.
'You're not leaving anything behind, are you?'
The most important thing was the handycam.
Having covered the beginning of Purple Office, I came here to report on its end as well.
'Today is definitely different.'
Even though it was late, the line was still long. Normally, fans wouldn't be able to enter due to time constraints, but today, they had plenty of time.
<We sincerely thank all the customers who visited our Aurora Department Store today⋯>
As the time approached 8 o'clock, the closing time, an announcement began to be made.
While the regular customers began to leave, the people wearing the Perfect Hoodie stayed put.
“Huh⋯?”
Shin Hye-rim, who was watching the scene, soon tilted her head.
'You're not coming back?'
Fans who came out of the photo zone, not just the entrance, but the exit, remained in their seats. They huddled together in a corner, seemingly trying not to be a nuisance.
As a reporter, there was no way I could pass it up. She quickly and carefully requested an interview.
"Ah, today is the last day. I want to watch until the end."
“I go home and do the same thing, but I’m not coming back today.”
"Is that right, the closing ceremony on air today? They're doing that, so I think it'd be better to watch it here."
We want to be together for the finale of Purple Office. Everyone felt the same way, though their expressions differed slightly.
Shin Hye-rim concluded the interview by empathizing with that sentiment.
“Excuse me. The shutters are down here. Please move.”
Soon, Aurora security personnel were deployed to control the situation. Shin Hye-rim and other fans obediently followed their instructions.
'Huh? Why is this…?'
Security personnel entered the store both outside and inside. Strangely enough, they came out the same way they left.
Shin Hye-rim approached him right away and asked why.
“Oh, we were supposed to have internal control…”
“The people working there asked if they could continue.”
The security guards tilted their heads as if they didn't understand and answered.
Shin Hye-rim opened her mouth at that.
'The part-timers are also trying to stay with us until the end.'
She was supposed to work until 8 p.m., but she voluntarily stayed. Since Shin Hye-rim was a fan, she knew why without even asking.
'If the security guards stand in your place, you can't help but feel uncomfortable.'
Naturally, the security guards were wearing black suits. It felt completely different from the purple office uniform of Gemalcon embroidered shirts.
So, if they were to stay in their seats, the immersion of fans entering after 8 o'clock would inevitably be broken.
To preserve that experience, the staff volunteered to work overtime. It was possible because they were fans themselves.
'Hah, this is what makes a good article.'
Shin Hye-rim's mind flashed. Shouldn't these points be made widely known?
She quickly wrote down the note.
"oh…"
“The lights are going out.”
“Looks like everyone’s gone.”
Perhaps they had confirmed that all the customers had left. The lights in the food court and throughout the basement were turned off.
The passageway was also closed with shutters down, and only the entrance through which fans entered was open.
"and."
“Hey…”
“This is awesome.”
Soon, sighs began to flow from all around. Shin Hye-rim also opened her mouth and picked up the handycam.
In the darkened underground event hall, only the passageway leading from the entrance to the Purple Office was lit.
At the end of the road, which seemed to be made of light, stood a store with a purple hue.
“…It really feels like I’ve come to another world.”
Shin Hye-rim couldn't take her eyes off him.
It felt like another world, just like in the commercials.
'Four hours from now…'
It was a pity that the time given was short. But soon her eyes widened.
'4 hours?'
Lightbulbs went off in her head one after another.
'This is perfect!'
She wrote a one-line note.
That was the title of this article.
Perfect for Hours
4 hours.
Ours.
Everything was perfect.
