I Want to Be a VTuber

The 2nd Drama Department of KMB.

Baek Taesoo, the department director, frowned slightly as PD Hwang approached him early in the morning, looking eager to talk.

What kind of fuss was this first thing in the morning?

"Director, have you heard?"

"Heard what?"

"It’s Kyungsung Lady! The first trailer dropped yesterday. It already has 1.8 million views! 1.8 million!"

"…You mean Director Baek Min’s film?"

"Yes! And what’s more—"

Just as PD Hwang was about to continue, he noticed the pointed looks from his colleagues nearby.

Their gazes practically screamed: Are you seriously that clueless?

"Ah."

It finally dawned on him.

He had merely wanted to talk about the surprising level of interest in a film directed by someone known for their niche, arthouse sensibilities.

But he had completely overlooked a crucial factor—the actress starring in it.

"S-sorry."

"No, it’s fine. So that’s why there’s been a buzz this morning."@@novelbin@@

The KMB network had been unusually lively since the early hours.

KMB was already riding high on a wave of successful dramas this year. Though the 2nd Drama Department had lagged behind slightly, things weren’t exactly bad for them either.

But today, the mood was exceptionally upbeat.

"Ju Seoyeon, huh."

Baek Taesoo exhaled as he settled into his chair.

He had heard her name more times than he could count this year.

• Yeon Seonye undergoing a selection process to infiltrate the Amamabi household.
• Successfully securing a position as a personal maid to the estate’s lady.
• The lady in question finally making her entrance.

• "Here he goes again…"
• "But for real though, her screen presence is next level."
• "Tbh, I liked this role better than The Chaser. Visually, she was perfect for it."

• "Bro, calm down…"
• "Bongsik, she's still a minor. Watch yourself."

• "Because she rode a bear?"
• "LMAO, literally."

• "Isn’t she just hyping up Ju Seoyeon?"
• "What’s Seoyeon’s deal with Stella? Did she pay her off?"
• "LMAO, like Stella would promote a Korean actress for a few bucks."
• "Wait, I heard Stella cameoed in Kyungsung Lady—is that true? Because if it is, that’s huge."
• "…Seriously, what the hell is Kyungsung Lady?"

• "Bro, that's so old school."
• "Washed up, got wrecked in Hollywood, hasn’t been relevant in years."
• "Wait, is that really him? He looks way thinner than before."
• "How did Kyungsung Lady afford him?? Seoyeon and Jo Sehee’s fees alone must’ve been ridiculous."
• "Probably because the main actress was cheap. LOL, drink up."
• "HEY! Don’t talk about Jiyeon like that!"
• "Wait, Jiyeon has fans?"

• "So, is it Lee Sangsoo or not?"
• "He’s thinner, but the voice and jawline are definitely his."
• "Why isn’t Ju Seoyeon saying anything? This is her movie—shouldn’t she at least appear on a variety show and clear things up?"
• "She’s busy filming Mine right now."
• "Even with this much buzz, she’s just shooting a drama?"

• "Seoyeon, now’s not the time to be at some party—just tell us if Lee Sangsoo’s in the movie and what your deal with Stella is!"
• "Why are you partying when your movie is blowing up?"
• "Guys, stop whining here. Go ask Seoyeon yourself."
