With the distinctive Discord entry notification sound,
Yeji joined the voice chat room.
Minjun looked at his screen and greeted her warmly.
"Oh~~ Hello, Yeji! You're the hottest thing going these days,
and it's an honor to finally meet you like this!"
Yeji responded right away with a bright and fresh voice to Minjun's friendly greeting.
"Yes! I'm honored to be talking directly with you too, Minjun.
You're such a major leaguer... I'm a bit nervous."
As expected from the King! The King's selection ㄷㄷ
Yeji looking nervous is so cute lololol
Minjun ignored the viewers' reactions for a moment and continued naturally.
"Oh, Yeji. The reason I reached out is because I've prepared some content called 'Girl Cam Wars' for today,
and I wanted to ask if you'd be able to join."
Yeji seemed to think for a second before asking,
"Hmm... Could I ask exactly what kind of content it is?"
Minjun explained the content in detail with excitement, as if he'd been waiting for it.
"Ah! Today's content is a showdown to crown the Queen of Queens among girl cams.
It'll run for about an hour.
We'll recruit top girl cams and decide the best one.
The score is 50% based on peak viewer count during that time, and 50% star balloon power.
Ultimately, it's about how much charm they unleash in that hour to captivate viewers and pop as many star balloons as possible!
And the prize money is a whopping 3 million won!"
For Yeji, it was a no-lose proposition. It was a chance to promote her name and face in Minjun's broadcast, already watched by tens of thousands,
and since the star balloons would pop in her own stream, no bad outcome possible.
Above all, as a newcomer on AmericaTV, being invited to such a big event was a huge honor in itself.
Just as Yeji hesitated a bit, pondering,
a flashy effect suddenly appeared on screen, and 10,000 star balloons exploded.
Coin King: This looks fun lol, give it a shot
Yeji was startled for a moment, looked at the screen, and burst out laughing.
Then, in a slightly excited voice, she said to Minjun,
"Our chairman says to give it a try? Count me in!"
Minjun's broadcast was already sub-broadcasting Yeji's stream screen.
Seeing Coin King appear and fire star balloons in the midst of it, Minjun's viewers reacted massively.
Whoa... Coin King! The real legend whale has appeared ㄷㄷ
Coin King class is insane lololol
Minjun, too, saw the 10,000 star balloons pop live and shouted in astonishment,
"Whoaaa~~ Who is this big bro!?"
Thus, Minjun and Yeji's Discord conversation wrapped up successfully, and Yeji officially became a participant in the 'Girl Cam Wars to Crown the Queen' content.
For Yeji, it was the moment she seized a real chance to make her name known on AmericaTV.
11 o'clock sharp.
The moment had arrived for Minjun's content,
『Girl Cam Wars - Queen of Queens』
to begin.
Minjun had successfully recruited five girl cams in the end.
It was a lineup chosen comprehensively considering balloon power, name value, and viewer-preferred styles.
Aside from the newbie Yeji, the others were long-time AmericaTV veterans with various connections to Minjun, big and small.
Somi in particular was already one of AmericaTV's representative girl cams, with a thick fanbase.
Her playful on-stream chemistry with Minjun, teasing each other, was famous.
The other three were distinctive girl cams Minjun scouted based on balloon power and character.
One was 'Dayeon', AmericaTV's signature sexy girl cam, known for her glamorous looks, bold outfits,
and provocative reactions.
Her spicy dances always shook the hearts of countless male viewers.
Another was 'Jia', a streamer with overflowing cuteness and a dainty broadcast style.
Her haughty charm contrasting her cute looks, mixed with a touch of ditziness,
earned her reverse appeal, and her fandom was no joke.
The last was 'Yuna', a girl cam who had skyrocketed in the past few months, wielding pure and elegant looks
as her weapon to appeal differently from the sexy types.
With sincere talk and friendly charm over flashy reactions, she'd built a solid fanbase.
As the main content kicked off, Minjun asked the five girl cams to sub-broadcast their channels on their screens,
and all gladly accepted, keeping their streams live in standby.
Minjun set up his screen with the five girl cams' broadcasts small, like a command center.
Viewer count had already surpassed 40,000.
Minjun briefly recapped the rules.
"Alright, everyone! From now until midnight, exactly one hour.
These five girl cams must unleash all their talents and charm to hold onto viewers.
Scores are 50% peak viewer count, 50% star balloon power!
Everyone ready?"
With Minjun's declaration, fans and diehards in each girl cam's stream started firing star balloons,
creating a competitive vibe.
First, Somi leisurely eyed the screen with a sexy yet playful expression and spoke to her fans.
"Minjun oppa called me out after so long?
You all ready to cheer for me, right?"
Somi quickly gathered viewers with her signature sexy dances and ripe banter from recent streams.
Star balloon fireworks exploded nonstop in her room from the start.
Meanwhile, Yeji, true to her newbie status in this rare big league, looked a bit tense,
but hid it with a bright smile and greeting.
"Oppa-duls~! I'm still a rookie and lacking, but I'll do my best today,
so cheer me on lots, okay?"
In Yeji's stream, Coin King's presence stood out.
He'd already started popping star balloons, and other fans followed suit.
Yeji regained confidence, captivating fans with cuter, fresher reactions and cosplay.
Sexy cam Dayeon, as expected, mesmerized male viewers instantly with her provocative outfit and killer reactions.
"If you don't pick me today, you'll regret it forever?"
Her deep-eyed smile and sultry voice were her killer weapons.
Her room heated up fast with tons of balloons popping.
Cuteness rep Jia went full aegyo to target male hearts.
"Oppa-duls~! If you don't cheer for Jia, I'll pout!
I've prepared tons of super cute reactions today, so look forward to it!"
With cute dances and aegyo lines, she stole hearts from old and new viewers alike.
Finally, Yuna exuded her signature calm, sincere charm with steady talk, connecting genuinely with fans.
"I want to have fun today with you oppas.
You'll cheer me on, right?"
Without flash, steady balloons piled up in her chill vibe.
Minjun relayed all this from his command-center stream,
and viewers flocked to their faves, joining fan clubs and donating balloons freely.
The clock now ticked toward midnight.
Within the one-hour limit, the five girl cams pulled out all their unique charms,
competing fiercely to the end.
America Gallery fans were also live-posting their fave girl cams' stream updates, hyping it up.
Somi's massive fandom dominated post count,
naturally drawing gallery users to her stream.
Somi #1 in viewers lololol as expected, the root of girl cams lolol
Somi's balloon power is insane ㄷㄷ T1 is different
But gallery users who usually hated girl cam streams felt annoyed at the flood of girl cam talk.
Wtf you cow shitheads, girl cam talk at this hour? Cut it out
Such posts appeared but got buried fast in the insane post regen speed.
As time passed, the competition intensified.
Viewer counts compared live on Minjun's stream narrowed as end time neared.
Right before close, Somi led by about 2,000,
but rookie sensation Yeji chased close in 2nd.
These were women, girl cams after all.
Standing in the race for top girl cam, everyone wanted 1st.
They amped up attractive, passionate reactions to win fans.
Minjun fans went wild for their tastes, heating the streams.
Minjun commentated like a commander, ramping tension.
"Somi's leading now, but it's reversible anytime!
Yeji's got that newbie buff full throttle! Wow~ Go! Go!"
Viewers dove in, scattering to rooms for the finale.
Jin-seong watched closely, timing Yeji's balloons for a final dump.
2 minutes to end, tension peaked.
Fans and diehards unleashed saved balloons en masse.
Flashy effects blanketed screens with balloon barrages.
Purple fans (Somi's?) marveled at the unreal sight,
and even Minjun commentated with a stunned look.
"Whoa, check out our cow hams' balloon power...!"
Each room had at least 400,000+ balloons popped already.
Balloon gauges streamed live on Minjun's screen; fans desperately poured into their picks.
Last 30 seconds, Minjun dramatically started a timer.
"30 seconds! 29 seconds!"
At that point, Yeji's balloon power lagged the others by about 200,000.
Few thought her fandom size could win.
"10 seconds! 9 seconds!"
Right then, an unexpected bomb dropped in Yeji's room.
Coin King has gifted 1,000,000 Star Balloons!
The screen flooded with balloon effects instantly—cash value: 100 million won.
Yeji, Minjun, viewers—all jaws dropped in shock.
Yeji, flustered, instinctively knelt, bowed her crown to the screen politely, and shouted,
"Oh my~~!!! My light! My chairman! My salt!
I offer my crown in gratitude!"
lolololololololol
lollololololololol
Manners T1 Yeji ㄷㄷ
Girl cam crown reaction ㄷㄷ
The chat filled with "lol" spam at Yeji's witty reaction, and Minjun's viewers swarmed her room.
Thus, the buzzer-beater at the very end flipped both viewers and balloons; Yeji pulled off a massive upset,
claiming the Queen of Queens title.
Minjun shouted with an excited face,
"Upset! It's an upset, everyone!!
Yeji's chairman dropped the nuke at the end!!"
Minjun jumped around like it was his win, unable to hide his thrill at the broadcast's excitement.
After the stream ended, Minjun gathered the five girl cams back on Discord for congrats and thoughts.
He interviewed Yeji, now rightfully 'AmericaTV's Queen'.
"Yeji, you've been crowned AmericaTV's true Queen—what's the feeling?"
Yeji shyly replied in a still-trembling voice,
"I never expected to actually win 1st...
I'm truly shocked.
This is all thanks to our chairman, Coin King oppa!
I love you so much for real, oppa!"
Minjun, other girl cams, and viewers all laughed and congratulated her sincere thanks.
Minjun's content was a historic smash hit,
and Coin King solidified as the legendary whale watched across AmericaTV—from Excel to girl cams to the majors.
