I Want to Be a VTuber

"Ju Youngbin, can I ask you something?"

A little time had passed after Hyper Action Star ended. Kang Taejin had a drinking session with Youngbin.

"Do you even ask me anything? More importantly, today is my consultation about my troubles..." "About independence, you’ve already made up your mind about it, haven’t you?"

Youngbin cursed inwardly at his friend’s sharp words. Always just saying whatever he wants. At least he’s treating me today by buying the meat, so I’ll let it slide.

"So what’s this about?" "Do you know anything about OTT dramas?" "I know. But why are you asking me about that?" "Because it’s related to you too."

Upon hearing Taejin’s serious tone, Youngbin adjusted his sitting position. If it’s something related to him, it’s probably something about his family. And if it involves Taejin's family, it would certainly be something related to his daughter, Seoyeon.

"Tell me more." "Hyper Action Star was originally a promotional variety show. It’s a promotional show for the movie Mine." "I heard about that." "But there’s been a lot of internal discussions about it. Well, it’s mostly something I suggested."

Pouring a shot of soju lightly, Kang Taejin continued calmly.

"What we’re talking about is whether to go ahead with an OTT drama or a movie." "OTT drama? Like those Nettrix things?" "Yes." "So, it’s not just the domestic market, but you’re aiming for the overseas market as well?" "That’s the plan." "What about you, which one are you leaning towards?" "OTT drama. I’m the one who brought it up in the first place."

An OTT drama, huh. Youngbin had seen some of them before. But were any of them really that impactful?

To be honest, he wasn’t sure.

‘How am I supposed to know? I want to say that.’

Anyway, Kang Taejin also knows that he’s not someone with professional knowledge in that area. So, does that mean he just wants to hear his thoughts from the perspective of a regular person?

"I don’t really know much about that market, to be honest."

Youngbin shook his glass and spoke.

"At least, I think the general trend in the creative industry will be similar."

Youngbin worked in the gaming industry. He saw games as a comprehensive form of entertainment, combining music, video, and all sorts of other elements.

Web novels, webtoons, comics, and countless games. TV dramas, movies. All of them are interwoven into the market’s flow.

Recently, the rise of PC culture overseas is one such trend. Though he wasn’t sure how it would affect gamers. But Youngbin’s tastes didn’t align with it.

"People are always going to look for things that give them quick enjoyment."

For example, like YouTube Shorts. Games are similar.
