Episode 58 – Metagamer Live Interview (2)
Metagamer Influencer Team.
Reporter Shin Hye-rim, who works there, naturally has a lot of interest in ‘influencers.’
It wasn't just because of work that I became interested in it; I had been watching the broadcasts of YouTubers and streamers since before I got a job as a reporter.
It is what is called 'a job that matches one's interest'.
'This guy is real.'
Purple was a different color for her too.
Confidence was a basic requirement for broadcasters from the beginning. Isn't it an essential virtue to show yourself in front of a large number of people?
But there is a downside to that ‘confidence’.
'Most of them are shameless… … .'
At first, they show off and don't care if they fail, which makes them a source of ridicule from viewers. There are also many streamers who make this their main content.
There are also streamers who create content about dramas that ultimately succeed thanks to the perseverance to try again after failure and the support of viewers.
But Purple isn't that type of person. You could tell that the moment you saw him on TV.
'Because it's not a bluff, it's something you can really do.'
As its name suggests, it pursues and proves 'perfection'. It makes things that are difficult for anyone very easy.
Shin Hye-rim knew the names for those people.
'You're a true genius.'
My heart started pounding as I thought about it. Was I rationally attracted to Purple?
No, that wasn't the feeling.
'I can't believe I'm the first to interview that kind of person… …!'
It wasn't just an interview, it was an 'exclusive' interview. For a reporter, 'first' and 'exclusive' were like a kind of medal.
'Thank you, team leader!'
She began the interview by thanking her team leader for providing her with this valuable opportunity.
And streamer Purple.
“No matter how many times we meet in the future, I will win.”
He was a more energetic character than she expected.
“Me, me! Purple?”
"yes?"
“You do realize that we have no choice but to publish this as is in the article, right?”
In a typical interview, it would be edited and published as an article. Thanks to this, if either party made any 'mistakes', they could correct them.
But now it was different.
Since this was an interview conducted via live streaming, even if there was a single change in the wording in the article, there was a possibility that it could cause problems. The statement from a little while ago will also be included in the article as is.
As a cheering fan, Shin Hye-rim hoped Purple would be careful.
Streamers Purple and Lee Kyung-bok responded with smiles.
“Of course. That’s why we do it live.”
"yes?"
“A clean live performance so that there are no misunderstandings. Isn’t that great?”
The chat window lit up again at Lee Kyung-bok's remarks.
-Ah haha I don't [p][p][t] make mistakes like that
-I can't stand the unedited original!
-The devil's editing protection is crazy lol
-Metagamers shouldn't do things like that though lol
-The scrapers and cyber wreckers are good at it^^
-???: Welcome, is this your first [P][P][T] interview?
Shin Hye-rim looked at him blankly for a moment. She was momentarily dumbfounded when she saw the confidence she had only seen in videos unfold before her eyes.
But she was a pro too.
“Of course! I hope other influencers will do live interviews as well, starting with this interview. Then, I will start asking questions in earnest!”
She quickly came to her senses and continued the interview with a smile.
“I think this is something that most viewers are curious about. Before we start the broadcast, what kind of person is Purple? Could you briefly introduce yourself?”
-Ooooooooooooo!
-55555555!
-I'm really curious about thisㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Just looking at his physical appearance, he's definitely a National Intelligence Service agent.
-Why is the National Intelligence Service here? LOL
-You said you were a boxer, but weren't you a former athlete?
-Asia's Fire Chicken Fist Purple!
-What the heck is fire chicken? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-???: Never ignore the land of fire chicken again.
-Ah, I don't know lol. Of course it's Hokage.
-I think he worked at PMC
Countless speculations poured in along with the questions, but not a single one was correct.
Lee Kyung-bok only seemed cute to the viewers who imagined him that way.
“Everyone had high expectations for me, but unfortunately, I was just an ordinary office worker.”
A question mark appeared in the chat window in response to that answer.
-Normal?
-5252! What is the average for office workers?

-The people who don't work don't know!
-What is Purple, an ordinary office worker? Something like a high school girl who has completed her military service?
– Information) High school girl fighting power = 2 special forces members is already a verified fact.
-Ah hahaha it's the National Intelligence Service disguised as an agent
-You quit boxing and got a job, lol
-These days, it's the era of two jobs, so even the Hokage goes to work^^
-What is this group payment for the T-shirts? LOL
There was an atmosphere of disbelief among everyone. Shin Hye-rim was one of them.
“Yes? Are you saying that you just went to work?”
“Yes. If I go into more detail, it will probably be known to the company, so I will refrain from saying more.”
Lee Kyung-bok said that, rolled his eyes for a moment, and then added a word.
“Actually, things didn’t end well at my previous job. I think it would be detrimental to both parties if we were to be singled out.”
-Huh?
-Godfly, did you really get cut off?
-Do you think Godple got cut off? There must have been a problem with the invincible ticket company. Lol
-Really ㅋㅋ Didn't the company try to throw a tantrum and end up getting hit in the face?
-You don't have an eye for talent lol
-That company seems like it's going to go under soon lol
-Really lol, it was a godsend.
-Ah hahaha, if God works, it's God's workplace.
-Thank you Godple for giving me the chance to start broadcasting.
Shin Hye-rim glanced at the chat window. She quickly moved on to the next question, worried that if she left it as it was, the conversation would become heated with baseless speculation.
“Yes, I understand. Is there a reason why you quit your job and became a streamer?”
“I started broadcasting at the recommendation of a friend who is now an editor. I mentioned this on the broadcast once, but when I was in high school, I prepared to become a professional gamer.”
-You said you prepared to be a pro? Really?
-It's actually real lol
-They came from not one, but three places!
-Wow lol As expected, you were different from the start
-I love you, editor!
-The editor is really exploiting black companies ㅠㅠㅠ
-???: If only I hadn't recommended it back then!
-???: STAY! STAY!
There were many fans who already knew, but there were also many new viewers, so everyone was interested.
“Oh, yes yes! I saw it too. Tier One, Dandy, and even Origin Diamond. They were still strong teams!”
“Yes, but unfortunately I didn’t get in. At the time, I was a bit weak, so I got sick often. I didn’t feel well during the test, so I didn’t pass.”
In reality, it was a symptom caused by the reaction of the new spirit, but he couldn't explain that.
-weakness?
-Godple and Weakness are a combination that doesn't go well together.
-I hope you don't get sick ㅠㅠ
-Please keep broadcasting for a long time ㅠㅠㅠ
-I feel dizzy imagining the bearded trolls worrying.
-You're just not at a healthy level right now, lol.
Lee Kyung-bok looked at the chat window, smiled, and nodded.
“Actually, I continued to exercise for that reason. Thanks to that, I’m fine now.”
“That’s really great. The mood is a little bit down, so let me ask you another question. What are your tastes in games? Do you like FPS games the most?”
The chat room atmosphere also changed with Shin Hye-rim's timely change of question.
-But still, isn't it a MOBA?
-Really lol I even prepared to be a pro
-No, I don't know. What you like and what you're good at are two different things.
-Are you good at everything?
-Oh right haha lol ㅈㅅ;;
-Please, I hope you like RPGs too ㅠ
-Do you have any plans to try racing?
-You might surprisingly be a re-gamer?
-Dual addicts may also have the potential to become kings later
-They pretend to guess the opinions of the people but then they end up expressing their own preferences ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Lee Kyung-bok quickly waved his hand.
“No, not necessarily. As you can see from my account history, I’m new to virtual reality gaming.”
“Oh, yes, yes. That’s right. You first encountered it when the broadcast started.”
“Yes. So my experience is stuck in the PC and console era. Thanks to that, all virtual reality games now feel new and fun.”
-Really lol I was shocked when I first entered the capsule
-Ah haha that's the real special thing
-It's really a lot better than the prototype.
-Prototype lol You look so old
-I can't believe Purple is a VR newbie.
-Wow lol I'm experiencing cognitive dissonance again
-Is this a max level newbie or something?
The viewers sympathized as they recalled their first experiences. Lee Kyung-bok laughed at the reaction and added a word.
“So now, rather than focusing on a specific genre, I want to try out a variety of experiences. So if you have any fun games to recommend, please do.”
The chat window lit up again at that reply.
-Then, should I try eating LoA once?!
-LoA is fun!
-Mr. Roah, come quickly!
-If you have the Godple physical, you can probably chew up Motor Horizon too ㅋㅋㅋ
-Really lol, the driving there was awesome too
-Do you know Kingston? It's so much fun.
-Isn't that a battlefield emulator?
-The Dolkretes were hiding lol
-Let's decide what game to play through duel!
-Kick out the dual addicts!
-The academic world's lunch is that we must first look at GOTY games.
Shin Hye-rim smiled awkwardly and waved her hand at the chat that was coming up like an explosion.
“No, please give me your recommendations later. Questions! The viewers should ask questions!”
“Yes, please give me your recommendations later. If possible, I would appreciate it if you could recommend difficult games.”
Lee Kyung-bok also added a word and it was effective. Instead, question marks kept popping up in the chat window.
“The games I’ve played so far have been a bit easy. I think we need a game that’s a bit more challenging… … .”
-It's easy only for you!
-No;; The developers say that Bark is so difficult that they even patched it!
-Purple/Personality/Controversy
-Did the deceptive breath come out again?
-I'm going to do it againㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ Isn't this all going to be in the article?
– Hahaha, what is this wide-range deception breath?
-Always new! Exciting! Fergie is the best!
-It's Percaine. It's Percaine.
-What is PercaineㅋㅋㅋWhat is he doing againㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Breaking News) Police Department expresses concern over increase in drug reports. 'Percaine' reveals no countermeasures.
-CrazyㅋㅋㅋWhat is T-Soo's quick reflexes!
Shin Hye-rim, who had been checking the chat from time to time, couldn't hold back her laughter.
“Phew… … .”
“Our listeners’ jokes are a bit harsh, aren’t they?”
Lee Kyung-bok said proudly. The chat window went wild again with those words.
-A listener!?
-Godple called us!
-5252! We were also [P][P][T]!
-Us? Us? What did you say!
-Ah haha you heard it right away?
-We may not be good at games, but we are merciless when it comes to jokes!
-It's a real monster, a monster! It's determined to make us fall!
-No lol. Isn't it just that the tricks are easy?
-Be mindful of the students^^
-Is there a streamer who steals your heart with just one word?
-What kind of personanova is this? LOL
-What the heck is Persanova? LOL
-T-Soo-deul's greed for drip is crazy lol
In the chat window, which was showing madness beyond affection, Shin Hye-rim hurriedly asked the following question.
“Ahem, then next question. Was there anything you found difficult during the broadcast?”
“That’s a difficult point.”
Lee Kyung-bok's eyebrows rose slightly. But soon his expression returned to a relaxed smile.
“I’m lucky.”
“Are you lucky?”
“Yes. Thanks to my good friends, including the editor and the friend who is my current manager, I don’t have any major difficulties.”
In fact, it had to be that way.
Lee Gyeong-bok kept his distance from ominous figures, so although there were only a few of them, only good people were left around him.
“Sometimes people who make a fuss come to the broadcast. Thanks to the help of my friends and the listeners, I’ve never had any trouble.”
The chat window became warm with his comments.
-Are you watching the lurking apple group?
-Get out of here you bastards!
-Really ㅋㅋ We have to protect our Purple ㅋㅋ
-If you touch the little purple, it becomes a real pearl!
-This is [per][pec][t]ji ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah haha, are you planning on doing an interview today and [pu][peck][t]ing?
-Oh, Purple, baby. We'll protect you!
-Isn't the baby too big?
-Anyway, I'm a new streamer^^
-Please open up the sponsorship… I can’t stand it… … !
-They want to take money out of my wallet!
-Do you know the joy of being supported by this streamer?
-Then should we do it on the Metagamer channel?
-No lol It would only make sense if you showed it to Gotple lol
Shin Hye-rim also felt happy in the chat room filled with affection. She wanted to keep watching, but since the interview time was limited, she had to continue.
“It seems that there is a reason why Purple is loved. Well, then, shall we take a moment to check out that affectionate question?”
At her request, the studio's screen was changed.
[1st place ??? – 2468 times]
The numbers revealed next to the hidden questions. Shin Hye-rim immediately added an explanation.
“The order of questions will be revealed starting with the most frequently asked questions by viewers. Please show us!”
Her scream revealed the hidden question with a tape-ripping effect.
[What color are today's panties?]
There was silence for a moment.
-No way lol
-Why are there so many panty worms?
-I'm so embarrassed lol
-Hey! Is this interview a joke?!
-You might as well edit the devil's edit!
-Wow lol I thought it would be filtered lol
– Seriously lol It's so realistic lol
-Ah, don't you know? This is a real [P][P][T]Ryu question!
-If you're a listener, this is basic
-Don't brag! You crazy guys, lol.
The viewers who asked the questions were embarrassed, but Lee Kyung-bok was calm.
“It’s a safe navy today. Should I have worn red?”
As the chat window filled with 'ㅗㅜㅑ', Lee Kyung-bok snickered and waved his hand.
“Of course I’m joking.”
“Oh, okay. Then, next question!”
Rather, Shin Hye-rim quickly moved on to the question, embarrassed. It was hard for her to imagine what other viewers might ask.
'If only there had been no broadcasting accident… …!'
She prayed earnestly.
* * *
The high-ranking questions were mostly light ones. Lee Kyung-bok answered them without hesitation as if he was taking a speed quiz.
[Do you have a girlfriend?]
"doesn't exist."
[Jjajang? Jjamppong?]
“If I had to choose, it would be Jjajang.”
[Eat with rice? Dip with rice?]
“If you eat alone, eat with rice. If you eat together, eat with dipping sauce.”
[Do you like mint chocolate?]
“Isn’t it enough to just taste the toothpaste while brushing your teeth?”
A slightly more serious question came after that.
[Can you reveal the actual item?]
For the first time, Lee Kyung-bok rolled his eyes instead of answering right away.
'As expected, it exists.'
It wasn't an unexpected question. I thought it would come up from the moment I agreed to the interview and when I decided to do it live.
“Oh, if you find that difficult to answer, ask another question… … .”
Perhaps he thought that the moment of hesitation was troublesome. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and waved his hand at Shin Hye-rim's words.
“No, no. That’s an important question. It’s a question that needs to be asked here.”
Lee Kyung-bok turned his gaze towards the camera again.
“To get to the point, I will reveal my face.”
-omg!
-Really?
-Hey!
-You're doing this right now!?
-mchd mchw
Lee Kyung-bok shook his head at the explosive viewer response.
“I’m not saying I’ll do it right away. But as a streamer, I have to reveal my face at some point. Later, I’d like to do outdoor broadcasts and meet our viewers in real life.”
-Ah, I thought I was doing it again… …
-That's too bad ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Ah hahaha it hasn't even been a month yet, why are you guys in such a hurry!
-You said you'd do a fan meeting with Yabang
-I just want the show to last a long time.
-Do whatever you want with Godple!
The reactions in the chat window varied. However, everyone seemed to agree that it wasn't an easy task.
“As you know, appearance is a major part of prejudice. For now, I want to approach you more as streamer ‘Purple.’”
-That's right.
-Appearance is also an ability!
-The fact that it is impossible to avoid it ㅠ
-The ones who suffer from prejudice more than anyone else… …
-Pretend not to lose lol
-Stop talking about faces!
Viewers didn't necessarily drag out the story any longer. Among other streamers, there were many who had complexes about their appearance and didn't reveal their real faces.
That's why they tentatively decided that Purple might have a complex too.
'If you like someone just for their looks, the relationship won't last long.'
In fact, Lee Kyung-bok's story was based on his experience during his school days when classmates would approach him just by looking at his face.
Lee Kyung-bok had unknowingly deceived others again, but neither he nor the viewers knew about it.
“Okay, then please show me the next question.”
Meanwhile, Shin Hye-rim quickly moved on. She had to finish taking viewers' questions and proceed with the remaining interview.
[Are you merging with Mindungsan?]
“Oh, this is similar to the answer I gave you earlier. I declined because I have no plans to proceed with real content yet.”
-Wow lol I really got a job offer
-I noticed it the moment I put my head in the pervert's tube lol
-Ah haha it's so bright I can't pretend not to notice
-Stop teasing me, Mr. Mindungsan!
-You're bald-headed
The slightly serious atmosphere returned to a lighthearted tone. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and continued answering the remaining questions.
By the time the number of duplicate questions reached double digits.
“Oh, due to the interview time, I think we should skip single-digit questions. Please understand!”
Shin Hye-rim appropriately marked the end of the viewer question corner.
-Really ㅋㅋ If it's a single digit number, I think all kinds of weird questions will come out
-If it's one space, there'll be a lot of questions, right? ㅋㅋㅋ
-Just telling me the color of the panties is enough
-What the heck is this panty worm thing lol
-You have to go home from work too, reporter!
-There is no such thing in [black company]
-No;; Are you going to get the reporter a job under Gotple?
-Ah haha if you appear on TV, you'll be in the hands of [black company]
The chat window's response wasn't bad either. The number of remaining questions was steadily decreasing.
[Please clarify that this is not a proxy account!]
A question was asked that caught everyone's attention.
-What the heck is this?
-Aren't you the Apple guys who were lurking?
-Are the people I asked about going for autopsies?
-No, there's no way the number would be this small.
-I did that too. I think I should come clean about it here.
-Ah, haha. If that's the case, then I admit it.
-Really ㅋㅋ If you just stuff it, the apple guys won't be able to say anything else.
Lee Kyung-bok looked back at Shin Hye-rim in response to the viewers' reactions.
“That’s a question I expected, sir?”
“Yes. Since the issue was an issue, we have already investigated the matter on our side.”
A question mark appeared in the chat window in response to that answer. Soon, the account information authentication data appeared on the screen.
“As you can see from the data, the account that Purple uses is a ‘normal’ account. It is not a ‘VIP’ account that provides multiple IDs.”
The verification method was simple.
Originally, multiple IDs were required to use 'proxy', and currently, the only level that provides this function is the 'VIP' level.
-Meta suppressor activated!
-Ah, haha, are you going to just shut up all the fools?
-Really ㅋㅋ If Godple had suggested it alone, it would have been called a fake invincible ticket
-Buy Chugwadan-ah!
For viewers, the fact that Metagamer 'notarized' the information was more important than the actual data itself.
There is plenty of room for nitpicking when a streamer presents data on his own, but it would be different if Metagamer had verified it.
-We verified it on Metagamer when multi-ID was leaked before, lol
-They even went as far as reality TV to get all the articles and stuff.
-There's a reason Metagamer is number one
-It's on a different level from those rags who just spread press releases distributed by game companies.
This is because Metagamer was the first to raise suspicions about Newton's 'proxy' and dig into the truth. Thanks to this, it had the highest credibility among gaming webzines.
“This part was confirmed by ‘Reality’ company with Purple’s cooperation before the interview. Please remember that we at Metagamer do not interview just anyone!”
“Why play the game if you’re going to use a proxy in the first place? It’s not fun.”
Then, Shin Hye-rim drove the wedge in, and Lee Kyung-bok drove the wedge in strongly. The viewers did not hide their satisfaction with the situation.
-Does the persimmon also move?
-What is it? Give me a perm too!
-I will live proudly like Godple!
-Isn't T-Su already sitting proudly in the corner of the room?
-Isn't that verbal abuse too severe?
-That's right lol
-Why do you guys really play games?
-Say what you want to say! Perfect Cola!
-77 million! Was this a carbonated beverage interview?
In such a pleasant atmosphere, the remaining questions were all answered.
“Okay, we’ve finished taking viewer questions. And now… … .”
Shin Hye-rim was about to continue with the rest of the presentation when she turned her gaze, her eyes slightly wide open.
When Lee Kyung-bok looked at her wondering what was going on, Shin Hye-rim opened her mouth with an embarrassed expression.
“Oh, Purple. We received a sponsorship from your channel.”
“Sponsorship?”
“Yes. This is quite expensive, so I was worried that if I just let it go, there might be a problem. And… … .”
The current interview is being simultaneously broadcast on the Purple Channel and Metagamer Channel via the Tri Platform's 'Link' function.
While Purple has blocked sponsorships to avoid interfering with the interview, the Metagamer channel is open for sponsorships.
“I don’t know if it’s true, but the other person’s account name is Newton.”
“Newton’s seat?”
Lee Kyung-bok nodded in surprise. Soon, the donation was delivered along with a notification sound.
['Newton' donated '1,000,000' won.]
[The Purple Channel has blocked sponsorships, so can I do it here?]
['Newton' donated '1,000,000' won.]
[No matter how much I review it, there are things I don't understand.]
['Newton' donated '1,000,000' won.]
[If you want to hear the answer from your own mouth, can't this also be considered a question?]
['Newton' donated '1,000,000' won.]
[Of course, I'm not asking you to do it for free.]
['Newton' donated '1,000,000' won.]
[5 million won. Please ask questions through video sponsorship.]
The chat window was in chaos as support messages appeared one after another.
-Real Newton's seat?
-ㅁㅊ Is this true?
-Burn five hundred for a question!?
-This is real lol
-If it's 500, it's real even if it's fake
-What the hell are you talking about? LOL
-You were watching the interview the whole time? Hahahahahahaha
-It's clear that you were spying on me to find my weakness!
-Look at your persistence;;;
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the chat window response.
'They create content automatically.'
There was no reason to refuse.
