Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber

---

After completely finishing the filming for the daily manager variety show.

I was slightly worried, but I figured there was still time until the airing date.

I pushed it out of my mind and kept myself busy.

Now that filming as Yeon-ah was done, and since there were still filming days left for Credit Season 2, I had some leisure time as actor Kim Soo-hyun.

With the remaining time, I handled the concert recording first.

“Alright, everyone! Let’s stay motivated!”

“Should we take a break tomorrow, Soo-hyun?”

“We need to keep going tomorrow too!”

Since the remaining recordings were just for the group song, my colleagues had a bit of a tough time.

But it couldn’t be helped.

Well…

“Soo-hyun, about the award ceremony…”

“…I’ll prepare the stage for the pre-recording.”

I had to get ready for the year-end awards ceremony, so I had no choice but to rush it.

I still hadn’t chosen where I would receive the award, but I thought I would do the music broadcasting stage as a pre-recording.

Thus, I headed to Slim Gold Band first.

“A stage for the award ceremony? Great!”

“I was just bored, so this is perfect!”

With Hyeon-su off to the military and having played all the games available, the band members willingly agreed to cooperate for the stage.

“Will the song be ‘Happy Circuit’?”

“Yeah, I think just one song will do.”

“Alright! We should pick the best one!”

No, it wasn’t just a simple agreement; they were overflowing with enthusiasm.

“Should we stretch a bit? It’s been a while!”

“Yeah, we’ve been slacking off lately.”

It looked like they wanted to get back on stage.

Well, when Hyeon-su was around, they must have been used to performing every day, so it was about time they felt a bit restless.

“Uh… you’re really energetic.”

“Resting isn’t easy, you know!”

How long has it been since Hyeon-su entered the military?

I hadn’t checked the dates, but it had been quite a while.

“Oh, when does Hyeon-su’s leave come?”

“Uh, I heard the 100-day leave might be a little delayed, but it should be around early next year?”

“Oh, we should definitely meet then.”

“Of course! Let’s visit during the next visit!”

“Oh, I totally forgot about the visit.”

Now that I think about it, I hadn’t gone to visit him since I’d been busy.

Isn’t he going to feel hurt by this?

“He seems to be doing really well, though. I probably didn’t need to go.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, do you want to see some photos?”

“Yeah, show me!”

Since I was secretly curious about how Hyeon-su was doing, I accepted right away.

I wondered how it went…

Did he grow his hair out?

“Here.”

Then Ah-young showed me the photo, and…

“Wow.”

I was subtly shocked.

“He bulked up quite a bit, didn’t he?”

“Uh, it seems so?”

“He must have gotten into working out.”

In the photo, Hyeon-su looked significantly more robust.

Sure, he was fit before, but now, any traces of slimness were hard to find.

“He’s totally gold now.”

“Right? By the time he discharges, he’ll be heavy gold.”

Just imagine if he gets a tan—he’d be a complete golden sun!

No wait, Hyeon-su is good-looking, so even without a tan, he has the qualities to be a golden sun.

I’m getting curious about what he’ll look like after discharge.

Anyway.

After hearing about Hyeon-su’s recent developments, we discussed the award ceremony stage.

How we would decorate the performance, what costumes we would wear.

Fortunately, since the band members were quite proactive, our meeting didn’t take long at all.

“Well, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Alright! Come right back tomorrow!”

After quickly establishing a rough outline, I spent the following days in full practice mode.

Thus, we started rehearsing for the award ceremony stage.

While the preparations for the concert were going smoothly, there was something that couldn’t be missed.

“Hello everyone!”

– Hey hey

– Haha, lol

– You’re coming often these days!

It was the broadcast.

I hadn’t been able to do it much before, and I wouldn’t be able to do it frequently in early next year either, so I was making the most of the time I had now.

“Today, I’ve come in a new outfit—what do you think?”

– Haha, lol

– Isn’t this the second time you’re wearing this? Haha

– It’s been a while!

Today, I wore the most popular outfit among the new styles.

An outfit suitable for a casual trip to the convenience store.

I thought the reactions would be good, and indeed, everyone seemed to like it.

“Everyone is responding positively.”

– It is quite different!

– I think it’s the best among the new outfits!

– I’ve seen the basics way too many times haha.

“Well, I do tend to use the normal Miro look a bit too much.”

I noticed that the other members would change outfits frequently during broadcasts.

It seemed like I had been neglecting it a bit.

– For real!

– You should try to change it up more often!

– Different is good!

Still, it was a relief that the viewers were giving good feedback.

The chat was calmer than usual; it seemed like the changed Miro was genuinely liked.

“So, let’s take a look at the café with this new vibe!”

– ??

– Jjokpe (Cafe) haha

– Aren’t you playing a game??

“Uh, no… I don’t really have any game to play right now.”

These days, there aren’t really any trendy games out there.

Not much to play, so I thought I’d check out the café while also taking a look at how the other members were broadcasting.

“Let’s go in.”

As I entered the café, a giant banner and an advertisement displayed there caught my eye.

“Whoa, the ads here are impressive!”

The café has really grown, huh?

It’s been about three years since its establishment, and the number of members has surged.

– For real!

– Is that self-praise?

[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, ㅇㅇ!]

Mysterious story: Even combined, the Heavenly Realm ads don’t compare to Miro’s personal influence.

– For real, haha!

– Is that for real?

– Crazy ad industry blue-chip!

“Wait, what does that mean?”

…I guess they were talking about the Kim Soo-hyun ads.

Well, it’s true.

I’ve filmed quite a lot this year.

I feel like this year is the kind of year where you can understand why you don’t worry about celebrity finances.

Looking at how my bank balance is getting frighteningly big, it’s hard to believe.

Anyway…

“Well, let’s not stray from the topic and check out the café. Look here, the juniors collaborated as well!”

– That was two weeks ago haha.

– This dude has no idea what his juniors are doing.

– The YouTube algorithm might not even pick it up haha.

“Hey, I knew about it.”

…Two weeks ago? That’s right!

It’s true that lately, the YouTube algorithm has been less responsive.

[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, ㅇㅇ!]

Miro, you do YouTube checks, right? ㅇㅇ

“Mine? There’s probably nothing.”

– Gg, gg, gg

– Is the Heavenly Realm not showing up at all? Haha

– Did you subscribe to Miro’s YouTube?

“Of course I subscribed a long time ago.”

Do these people think I’m still the old Miro?

Now I’m definitely subscribed according to Buhwang’s weight.

“Check this out.”

I confidently entered YouTube and went straight to the Miro channel.

“See? Subscribed, right?”

Of course, I did that ages ago.

To be honest, I was a bit interested back when there was significant growth.

– Oh haha!

– But you haven’t watched any of the videos, right? Haha!

– Wow, why are the subscribers so many?

Well, these days, I’m busy, so I haven’t been watching much.

“Oh… really?”

Even so, it seems the number of subscribers has increased while I wasn’t looking.

– This dude doesn’t even realize the increase in subscribers haha.

– When are you doing the golden button review?

“Me? I haven’t even done the silver button review.”

To be honest, the YouTube channel is managed entirely by Heavenly Realm, so getting a golden button doesn’t excite me much.

I don’t even log into this account anymore.

– Then just do it, damn it.

– Don’t mix the silver button with the golden button; post two videos!

– Please, a 반캠 (fan cam)!

“…The intent is clear, I see.”

I wondered why they were rushing for a review; so it was for the cam?

“Well, I’ll apply for the button and do the review soon.”

– For real??

– Did you clip it?? Are you really going to do it??

– You better do it…

I’ll be sure to wear gloves and not let a speck of dust show.

“And if you want to see my algorithm, feel free.”

Anyway, now that I showed them my channel, I boldly jumped into my YouTube homepage to reveal my algorithm.

“There’s a Heavenly Realm song, right??”

The first thing that came up was music.

It was mainly the songs I often listen to, and proudly, there was a Heavenly Realm song among them.

– Haha!

– What’s this Slim Gold song next to it? Damn!

– This dude listens to a varied range of music haha!

“Hey, the Slim Gold song is pretty good, you know.”

I usually listen to their songs while working out.

Slim Gold songs fit just right.

And beneath that, there were drama and movie highlights.

These types of videos are what I often watch while driving, as they’re good references for acting, and they’re also quite entertaining.

– Hey, but where are the VTubers??

– Wow, look at how the algorithm has changed.

“VTubers? Uh… there’s a Heavenly Realm song, you see?”

If there’s that, isn’t that enough?

I can just watch the highlights at the café.

– Damn haha!

– This dude has really changed.

– He wasn’t like this three years ago…

– Miro has become a regular person now…

Three years ago… it’s true; back then, the algorithm did feel more underground.

“Well, if I get interested, I might check that side out again.”

People’s interests naturally change over time.

Since now, I’m focused on acting, so I have more of that kind of content.

But if I start looking up VTuber material again, it’s only a matter of time before the algorithm gets polluted.

Anyway, after checking out my YouTube algorithm, I returned to the café to look at some of the posts.

Recent updates on Anna, gossip about the 4th generation Seo-hee’s visa, and a collection of 3rd generation Rain’s political comments, and more.

I was reading some interesting and entertaining posts, and the broadcast flowed peacefully.

It felt like I could just watch for another hour and then call it a day while chatting about random things, wrapping up what seemed like a typical day.

However…

– What’s this variety show??

– When did it air??

– What the heck is this? haha

At some point, the chat began to stir up.

“Ah, the variety show?”

Did the episode air today?

I had totally forgotten about this…

– Damn, let’s blow this up.

– What do you mean???

– Damn it…

– What variety show?

– Where was it aired?

In an instant, the chat window was thrown into chaos.

Well, there goes my peaceful broadcast.

Now that I think about it, I felt like I got a message about the variety show airing previously.

Since it’s been a while since we filmed, it was about that time.

“Everyone, please chill.”

– I can’t calm down!

– I’m getting mad watching the variety show!

– Argh, DAMNIT.

– What the hell is this bombshell?

I told everyone to calm down, but… that fell on deaf ears.

Yeah, I totally understand.

It’s that kind of situation where people might come rushing in asking what’s going on.

I guess people who watched the variety show continuously are coming in, and from there, it’s easy to predict what the broadcast atmosphere will be.

Probably chaos, hell, something along those lines.

Even if I set up chat restrictions, my furious Miro fans would still come piling in, along with those causing disruptions, and eventually even those too would get tainted, setting the chat ablaze.

It’s a situation I can see without even having to watch.

…Personally, I’d want to turn off the broadcast due to the horrific carnage.

But Buhwang Miro won’t flee from such situations.

So, to face the uncontrollable flames of hell, I had to make an extreme decision.

“Watch closely….”

– ??

– What are you talking about?

– Hey, MI, please provide an explanation!

I hastily dove into the avatar settings while scanning the chat window.

Then…

I quickly changed my outfit.

– ??

– Oh!

– Wait, what the hell?

– Crazy kid!

As soon as they saw my changed outfit, the chat began to rise even faster.

But it was an unavoidable choice for me.

“…Let’s do it!”

I shouted this while looking at my reflected self on the screen.

Green armor symbolizing the fortune, long hair braided down to the shoulders.

And a slight rosy tint on my cheeks.

Yeah.

The true hero of this era who quenches the flames; the fire-fighter.

It’s Miro as the Guardian of Fortune version.

– Don’t do this, damn it.

– What is this, are you crazy??

– I didn’t want to see the new outfit like this, damn it!

– Please, no!

“I wasn’t planning on playing a game today….”

I think today, I’m definitely going to take action.
