Wiki Debut and the Unfair Nicknames
That strange broadcaster only did a mukbang stream, and yet… (2) This is too much. I’m still young. But my nickname is BossFortiHam? Seriously, that’s way too far. I’m genuinely hurt. There are so many other nicknames out there. Uh… when they actually ask me to suggest one, I can’t think of anything. My heart’s pounding like crazy. I almost broke out in a cold sweat. I feel dizzy. Lightheaded. The thing I fear most is… when it’s time to come up with a name. Suddenly the chat starts flooding with “” and people start donating saying they’re going to wake up grandma, grandpa, dad, and mom… Just thinking about it makes my breath catch in my throat. What am I supposed to do when I can’t even think of one? But they keep pushing that atmosphere. It’s scary. Terrifying.
“Everyone… that nickname is too much.”
“No, what do you mean? What exactly did I do? Tell me.”
Here we go again… Is this a battle of wills? No, right? I just asked because I was genuinely curious. Uh, yeah. It’s definitely a battle of wills. They say even a dog at a private school learns the classics after three years… Turns out I’m a human who can learn too!! I actually predicted this.
They’re being all prickly again. Fine, I already know the next step. If I talk back here, they’ll keep dragging it into a battle of wills. Over and over. And then the Jjang crew will bust out their ultimate move: full-on brain-melting nonsense. That move is so powerful it can’t be put into words. So… this is where I back down. That’s basically their version of a give-and-take. Fighting back won’t do me any good anyway.
“Heh heh heh…”
Wow… how did I get so smart? Don’t tell me… I’m actually a genius…!! No way. I’ve just gotten used to seeing it every day. At first I had no idea what to do and suffered a lot. I kept getting hit, so… I learned. By force.
“I’m sorryyy!”
When this happens, apologizing and moving on is the best move. When you stream, situations like this pop up at least ten times a day. Sometimes the smartest thing for your mental health is to just step back. Without even realizing it, I’ve naturally mastered the best method.
This is already my 215th apology. I should reflect a little. “Yes. Thank you.” If I do this about five more times, it’ll be time to end the stream. Seriously, don’t these people ever get tired? …No, they probably don’t. I never get tired of eating gukbap every day either. I want to eat it again. Just keep going… haha. You want to keep eating, right? That’s probably it.
While I was eating my hamburger and chatting, a strange donation came in.
“The wiki…?” Wiki? Huh? Really? I put down my half-eaten burger and searched right away. Really? That’s a measure of popularity. So many people never make it on there. I’m actually on it? Me? No way… really? With a mix of anticipation and doubt, I checked.
“Oh… it’s really there!! It’s actually there!!”
I got excited without meaning to. My energy shot up. It was really there. My… my name was listed. This was huge. Massive. I clapped like a seal over and over… I was so happy.
“It’s really there. I’m on it. Right?”
My own page. My name was written on it. What is this… This is seriously huge. I can’t even describe it. This is a real success. I should send this to my parents… Yeah, after the stream ends. Mom… Dad… Seon-a made it. I got listed on the wiki, the ultimate popularity meter. Mwahahaha. I felt like I had everything. They say luck comes suddenly. This must be that moment. The moment I finally feel the reward for all my hard work.
I used to be so jealous. I’d search the wiki and see other streamers’ names and feel envious. But now it’s me too. Really me. “Ha… I’m gonna read it!! Ah, wait! I need to wash my hands first. One second.”
I was so excited I pushed the rest of my hamburger aside. Cold hamburgers are still delicious. That’s just how they are. Before that… I didn’t want to get grease on the keyboard, so I scrubbed my hands with soap. Scrub scrub. Washed them clean.
“I’m back. Shall we read it right away?”
Seonseonseon-a. There it is. Yeah. That’s me. Real name: estimated to be Seon-a. “Real name. It’s Yoo Seon-a. Please change it!”
Well, the name doesn’t really matter, does it? I saw that even Maru revealed hers. Same with birthdays… those two seem to be the standard. “And… the nicknames are Jjanghyeong, Jjangham… Jjangfortiham… No.”
When I hovered over the blue text, shocking descriptions appeared. Jjanghyeong was apparently created to turn the “hyung” of the Yuksu Room into a joke. Jjangham was the same. Jjangfortiham… came from frequently making crude remarks toward female streamers… When did I ever? This is really, ugh, the injustice is too much. I remember doing it once in a while. But not every day. It was really just once in a while. This is seriously… seriously… seriously unfair.
“This isn’t right… When did I do that? Show me proof. Battle of wills reflex. I’m just that upset.” I was genuinely wronged. How wronged do you have to be to shout “battle of wills reflex”? Please feel my sincerity. Please. “I don’t usually do the battle of wills reflex, you guys. Seriously, just tell me once.”
“No… yesterday was…” If I bring up yesterday, that’s basically cheating. What about the day before? The day before that? The day before that? I didn’t do it!! Just because I did it one day… it comes out like this!! First… let’s see what happens tomorrow. I didn’t do it today, so… they have to delete it tomorrow. “Then… yes. In that case, my birth year? I’m born in 2001. December 5th.”
Even as a VTuber, plenty of people dig into your real name and birthday. Especially birthdays. It’s the perfect timing to milk donations. But I was too embarrassed to say it. Getting birthday wishes… I barely got any outside my family, so it felt awkward.
“Anyway, let’s meet again next year too… everyone!!”
I’m not telling them my education level. Maru probably didn’t either. I’ll only share what Maru shared and keep the rest to myself. Next is the fandom name… Baby Angels and the Jjangs. That one’s correct. No need to check. Ooh. This is really fascinating. There’s even an overview. I used to get so jealous whenever I saw other VTubers’ wiki pages. Now I have one too. I almost cried tears of joy. Though I probably didn’t actually cry.
[A VTuber who streams every single day.]
That’s the self-introduction. Correct. That’s accurate too. Next… broadcast information. Especially the characteristics section. I really want to see that. It’s basically how viewers perceive me. Their honest evaluation of me. I was dying of curiosity. Seriously curious.
“Dun dun. Dun dun… Here we go! Let’s check the characteristics. Oof… it’s long. One second…”
It was too long to read. I can’t focus unless it’s summarized into three lines. What would I have done without GPT? I dragged the whole characteristics section and asked GPT.
“Summarize this into three lines for me.”
“Uh… what a good friend. This is expensive, you guys. Smarter than me.” My GPT friend instantly summarized dozens of lines—three whole paragraphs—into just three lines. “Frequently initiates battles of wills during streams. Keeps broadcast times reliably and is almost never late. Makes shady remarks to female streamers and earned the nickname Jjanghyeong… That’s the three-line summary? GPT, I want to disappear.”
I couldn’t believe it. Out of all that text, that’s what it picked? Nothing nicer? That’s supposed to be my defining traits? I couldn’t accept it. But then…
“Which part is correct? Uh… I’m dizzy.” I really don’t know. Is that me? No way. When did I ever? Seriously, when? I wanted to grab someone and keep asking. But… I’ve grown too. I’ve grown. This is my cheat code. A simple way to control myself. Yeah, I’ve grown. “Next. Content. Ooh…!! I have some too. I’m on here too!!” There were two. Low-chat. Usually does 2–3 hours of communication streams. Next… content recommendations. “No… this counts as content too?” My heart actually hurt. This is considered content…? Seriously. “Every day, without fail, asks viewers what content to do. The chat becomes very active during this time. As a result, created many villains…” It’s nice that they acknowledge it as content… but that one line really stings. Every day, without fail… Ugh, I’m really reflecting now. “Next, let’s look at the memes…” I felt like reading more would only leave me more hurt, so I skipped ahead. “Ooh! Wow! It’s here. Wow! Exclamations… wow! It’s here. Hehe is here too. The sound I make when laughing. Yeah. Wow! Why? Why is this a meme?” Why? Why is this a meme? It’s just something you ask when you’re curious. Did they add it because they had nothing else to put? “No, ‘Are you a koja?’ Why is that a meme? There are way too many weird ones. What is this?” Ah! I get it. I’m not famous enough yet… so they forced in weird stuff! That’s the only explanation. Yeah. I need to work even harder. Yeah. Let’s fill it with original stuff instead of this…!! Next is relationships with other internet broadcasters. Hehehe. This is basically a measure of connections. If it’s written here… that means I, the viewers, and the other person all acknowledged it. Right? Ah… the other person might not… No, that can’t be. They’d have the same entry. It’s correct!! It’s correct, okay, just accept it! My friends. Let’s look at the lineup. Maru is there, Moddeok is there, Raming is there… Ooh! Maem is there too. What about Pyeongjipja? Ah… aaah… Pyeongjipja isn’t a broadcaster, so she’s not listed. Okay, got it. Geunja is there too. Kos from back when he was the leader in Rust… Kos… I caused him a lot of trouble before. If I get another chance to play Rust, I’m confident I can shoot guns like crazy… Last time I just gambled all my money away, but this time I’ve grown. Kos will probably be shocked by my growth. Hehehe. Anyway. Shall I read it? I did really well, right? I treated them well!! Right? I’m reading with high expectations. Hehe. “Starting with Maru… let’s read it!!”
