I Want to Be a VTuber

Seoyeon Thought She Was Doomed.

As mentioned, Seoyeon rarely had opportunities to appear on Japanese television.

In other words, there were very few chances to fix her image if something went wrong.

The last time she appeared on a variety show in Japan, it was before she became widely known.

But this time was different.

Her various recent activities, combined with the buzz from Kyungsung Lady, had significantly increased public interest in her.

In fact, for most Japanese viewers, this variety show was likely their first proper impression of Ju Seoyeon.

That’s precisely why she had aimed to maintain the same image as Kasugayama Yuina.

"It’s my fault for not double-checking! But still—!"

With trembling fingers, Seoyeon paused her mouse movements and began typing furiously on her keyboard.@@novelbin@@

[It’s all Coldwind’s fault. If I hadn’t been playing Coldwind then—]
[? What are you even talking about?]
[When Japan reached out, why didn’t you tell me to check the video sooner?]

Park Jungwoo narrowed his eyes, leaning closer to his monitor.

He couldn’t believe what he was reading in Seoyeon’s chat messages.

[Are you seriously making excuses? You mean the punch machine video from Japan?]
[Yeah, they sent it to ask if it was okay to include it. They said they’d feature that segment.]
[But… wasn’t the response pretty hot?]
[Oh, it was hot, alright. In a VS battle kind of way.]

At his words, Seoyeon let out a deep sigh.

Hot? Of course, it was hot! It was on fire!

A clip of her destroying a punch machine with one blow had gone viral.

Naturally, posts on her fan community exploded:

—Ju Seoyeon always loses to her own roles lol.
—Forget Cha Seoa or whatever—one punch from Ju Seoyeon and their head’s gone.
—Did she get some kind of super-soldier serum or what?
—LMAO, what if she only took Mine to make her backstory more believable?
—Whoever dates Seoyeon better be rich and built like a bodyguard.
—Wouldn’t it be the guy getting taken down instead?

She could only imagine the chaos on Japanese forums—and frankly, she was too scared to even check.

"What do I do now…?"

One thought came to her.

Her only lifeline was for the web novel-based drama, Flower of the Imperial Palace, to be exported to Japan as soon as possible.

Because if there was anything that could turn the tides in her favor—

It was Princess Yeonhwa.

One iconic role from Flower of the Imperial Palace could single-handedly salvage her image.

But before she could fully sink into those thoughts—

[Wait, what are you even talking about? Haven’t you checked Japan’s Twitter trends?]
[Huh?]
[Hyper Action Star just dropped on Nettrix right before the variety show aired. It seems people are hopping over from the show.]
[Wait, WHAT???]

Seoyeon froze.
