I Want to Be a VTuber

"Kyungsung Lady’s Japanese promotional video was released simultaneously with Korea’s. Naturally, the best way to watch it is while keeping an eye on Japan’s reaction, right?"

The promotional video uploaded to Nettrix was a full 60 minutes long.

It was clear that a lot of effort had gone into it.

"Wow, Japan even has a dubbed version."

Switching to the Japanese Nettrix account confirmed it.

They weren’t messing around—this simultaneous release had been planned with precision.

"I’ve never seen such aggressive marketing for a Korean film before. Could it be because Ju Seoyeon’s recognition in Japan has been rising recently?"

— What do you mean Ju Seoyeon? It’s because of Stella.
— Bongsik, you’re reaching too hard.

"Come on, does it really make sense to put together an entire promotional video just because of a cameo?"@@novelbin@@

— Okay, fair point.
— Honestly, this feels like a prank.
— Why is this actually happening? I thought it was just a baseless rumor.

Bongsik and his viewers continued discussing Kyungsung Lady’s promotional video as they pressed play.

The first person to appear on screen was the lead actress, Yeon Seonye—
Or rather, Lee Jiyeon.

"I heard this is your first time taking on a lead role. Are you nervous?"

The first voice was in Japanese.

The translator beside Jiyeon relayed the question.

"I am nervous. Honestly, everyone in this cast except me is a veteran actor."

Jiyeon’s tension was visible.

Dressed in hanbok, her sharp features softened slightly by makeup.

"But I’m the protagonist this time. I have to keep up, no matter what."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted toward a single, unmoving presence.

Ju Seoyeon.

The set was Yuina’s mansion.

Tatami flooring.

Seoyeon, sitting in a flawless seiza position, exuded an almost supernatural stillness.

Even from afar, her presence was undeniable.

— Damn, Ju Seoyeon’s completely different when she’s filming versus when she’s on variety shows.
— Just from the atmosphere, she looks like the final boss.
— In the movie, her villainous Yuina moments were absolutely insane.
— She basically soloed the entire auction house scene.

The promotional video began with simple cast introductions.

First, lead actress Jo Sehee.

Then, Lee Sangsoo—the unexpected casting that had sent Korea into a frenzy.
