The stream continued even after sending Soo-ah off.
Even after drinking kimchi stew like it was makgeolli, she kept helping enthusiastically with my stream. When donations came in, she’d react on behalf of me who rarely showed reactions, helped clean up after cooking, and being a Daeju-dan member, she communicated well with the chat too.
And then, before I could say anything, right around when the introvert in me started thinking “I want to be alone now…”, she figured it out herself and said she’d head out.
“You seemed like you were getting tired…”
What’s this?
Only an introvert understands an introvert’s heart.
Is that what this is?
[What now?]
[If you end stream, off with your head]
[lololol killing the mood right away lolol]
[Missed this kind of chat]
[I’m seriously addicted to Daeju-dan.]
Since I had fully recharged both physically and mentally after resting for a day, I had no intention of ending the stream so early.
So first, I decided we should explore Tgether together.
Truth is, I had been checking and reading posts there about every 4 hours during my break, but I hadn’t checked the new posts that came up after my return.
[But don’t look at the ones from about an hour ago]
[We did curse a lot cause you weren’t here tbh]
[Let’s not ban anyone since we brought this on ourselves lololol… please]
[We’re sorry we’re sorry ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ]
[All the cursing bastards were right here]
“Ah, it was my fault so of course I won’t ban anyone”
It’s not like I’m short on opportunities to ban people that I’d need to do it for something like this, and even though they cursed, from what I could see, the level wasn’t particularly severe.
No, it was severe cursing but it’d be more accurate to say I’d developed immunity so this level didn’t affect me much.
Going further back, posts from when I started streaming began to appear.
“Wow, what is this…”
If anything, this side was more dizzying.
Not curses but praise – the way they made such dramatic titles… [Holding breath-], [The day two suns rose], [The man who makes non-existent juice flow], [So happy I smashed everything in my house (proof included)]. Look at these titles, how could Soo-ah be normal with fans like these?
Though it did seem like they’d be reliable if fans got into fights with each other.
If a fight broke out, there’s a 99% chance my fans would’ve done something wrong first.

[Seoul National University Verification]

Never thought I’d end up verifying this on Daeju’s Tgether of all places
Now that I’ve verified, stop calling all Daeju-dan members M-lifers[1], you newbies.
Say “most” are M-lifers now, not all.
[Comments]
– Holy shit is that really SNU?
ㄴ South Korea’s future is f*ucked!
– Please become someone who works hard to build a statue of Daeju…
– A Seoul National student watching Daeju’s streams? Now this is what you call corruption…
ㄴ A Seoul National student’s dangerous deviation;;;
ㄴ When you put it that way it sounds like some weird video title;
– The heavens are fair, making even Seoul National students ruin their lives watching Daeju streams lol
ㄴ Isn’t it unfair that you’re watching Daeju streams when you’re not even from Seoul National?
ㄴ True

“Wow, a Seoul National student?”
[There are 3 more verified Seoul National students besides that guy]
[??? Why is everyone successful except me?]
[Stop whining, you’re actually successful too you bastard]
[I seriously felt so betrayed yesterday, thought everyone was a failure like me…]
[You’re not actually a failure either, right?]
[Paranoia on]
Checking the posts one by one, it seemed like a random spec war broke out right after I went to sleep yesterday.
Starting from which university they attend, where they work, actually being famous, owning a food franchise… all the way to finally verifying their bank accounts.
[Let’s ban the rich verified guys who aren’t subscribers]
[Nothing worse than seeing rich people being stingy]
[They should honestly pay viewing fees;; since they earn enough]
[At this point it’s not ‘give it to me'[2] but ‘hand it over you bastard’ would be fine too]
Among them, the verifications with the highest upvotes and views were the job verifications.
As my mouse moved towards them, other viewers who seemed to have all seen them before got excited and chat started pouring in.
[There are so many enviable jobs lolol]
[That’s enviable? My job is honestly the best]
[What is it?]
[Home security guard lol My salary is 100,000 won lol]
[Master, you’re just unemployed, and what you get from your parents isn’t salary but allowance.]
[What… did… you… say…?]
“So many enviable jobs. Wow, there are lawyers and doctors too? No, in such a humble place…”
There were occasionally jaw-dropping professions mixed in.
Of course, my board had become famous at some point and people who didn’t watch my streams started coming in too, but even so, seeing jobs that belong to Korea’s top 1% gathered here gave me a somewhat fresh feeling.
At the same time, I briefly felt self-loathing, wondering if someone like me should be streaming in front of such people.
And then I found the job with the highest views and upvotes.
“What? Why does this have the most upvotes?”
[Ah this one lololol]
[There’s a good reason for that lol]
[lololol]
My curiosity piqued, I clicked the title.

[Waxing Shop Owner Verification]
You might wonder how dare a waxing shop owner show their business card among rich people and various fake jobs but just listen to me first lol
We’re real waxing specialists without therapy so we only do waxing but we got popular through word of mouth on SNS and lately we get lots of male customers lol
And male customers often request armpit or private area waxing~
They flinch whenever there’s slight contact during waxing… oh my I almost went into too much detail lol
Even without recruiting part-timers, lots of people want to work for even half of the minimum wage…
Is this enough to brag about?
[Comments]
– If there’s a part-time position available 010-xxxx-xxxx
ㄴ Can I make prank calls?
ㄴ Was that you just now? The one who suddenly yelled s*x stuff really loud?
ㄴ ? It wasn’t me really wasn’t… or was it?
– Yeah~ So~ jealous~ F*uck~
ㄴ lol The tone is pretending not to be jealous
– F*ck please tell us more stories ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
ㄴ Someone please write a novel with waxing as the theme;

“This is… number one? The most envied one?”
The waxing shop owner who seemed somewhat lewd beat out rich people, fake jobs, and even Seoul National University for first place. Wondering if it might just be coincidental timing that got them many upvotes, I asked the viewers if that was really number one.
Because while my viewers might be weird, I think they have a sense of reality.
Filtering out the rich and envying the waxing shop owner most? This seemed a bit off.
“Right everyone? The Seoul National person from earlier would be more enviable~”
[Hmm, I’m not sure… hmm…]
[Well, it is enviable but number one? Could it? Be? Hmm…]
[Well there’s no high or low in jobs… any job is good. Good but…]
[Daeju I’m disappointed did you think we’d be on the same level as those perverted commenters who want such jobs? Come on, seriously unbelievable. I upvoted though]
While everyone was subtly avoiding answering, this much was basically the same as implicitly agreeing.
“Is it the same for others too?”
Going into the second most upvoted post
This person’s specs weren’t that impressive. Rather, they were at my level. Which means. They had nothing.
Except this person was male.
[A man watches Daeju’s streams? Is he ga*y? BL vibes?]
[Daeju noona is always okay with dating men]
[Daeju dates a man, then Geum Taeyang steals Daeju’s boyfriend, then Daeju watches a certain video sent by Geum Taeyang]
[Sis~ Mom says stop watching Hitomi and come eat]
[Let me watch just one more…]
“No, I don’t want to. And since this male is a civilian, please don’t talk that way.”
[Where are there civilians in Daeju-dan lol]
[Right everyone in Daeju-dan is one and the same? lolol Just please don’t sue us]
[We beg you…]
[Forgot for a moment sorry]
The apologies continued until the man himself appeared in chat to say it was okay.
Some viewer did explain that these days there are many reports and lawsuits over male sexual harassment issues so they apologize more sensitively about this, but.
“Then why not for me?”
[Right?]
[Isn’t that something we should think about together?]
To this clear discrimination, I just casually made one comment.
“You all really need to watch my streams diligently. Otherwise I might get bad thoughts, who knows?”
[*Shiver* *Shiver*]
[That’s a joke right?]
[If this body can become Daeju’s retirement plan? That’s not too bad? Right?]
[Ah… I don’t like you that much…]
[Fr lol]
Of course it’s 100% a joke.
I don’t know about men in this world, but at least I don’t get hurt by hearing sexual harassment comments from women.
Sometimes when comments like “Daeju give it to me” come up every few minutes throughout hours of streaming, and when I see innovative sexual harassment I’ve never heard or seen before, I get dizzy in the middle of streaming, and sometimes I feel betrayed when I find out those guys act kind and gentle in other streams.
But what can I do, the stream became like this.
I had to endure the streaming atmosphere I chose with sheer willpower.

– While looking at Tgether please check the latest post. The most upvoted one on page 1
[Were you looking at that too? lolol]
[I look at Tgether too when just watching Daeju’s stream gets boring lolol]
“Huh? Ah well I’ll check it. It’s not difficult.”
I pulled the page to the front to check the most upvoted post.
Even though it was written just about 5 minutes ago, the views and upvotes were overwhelmingly high.
I wondered what could have such high views and-
