Chapter Title: Shall I Try an Image Makeover?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
While Mungki was doing PUBG missions instead of logging into the Yorang Garden server.
Lera was role-playing as a widow who had lost her husband.
"Boo-hoo... My husband can't be dead! He has to be alive!"
- Even knowing it's RP, my horns are shaking a bit anyway
- This is a trial. A trial from Lera to me
- Kyaah! Save it! Save the widow concept!
- But if you endure it, it starts looking tasty
- My love... that empty spot... I'll... fill it... for you...
Lera figured that if she pushed this RP far enough, Mungki would log back in.
After all, a chance to collab on a major corporate server like this was incredibly precious for low-tier streamers.
But what was this?
'He's not coming in...'
Dalgeun had straight-up kidnapped Mungki to PUBG land with a massive donation from a big donor.
It was like she didn't even have time to react before her husband got stolen away.
So this was why wives hated it when their husbands went fishing or whatever after marriage?
Even though it was an RP relationship, Lera suddenly understood that feeling perfectly.
'No... Why isn't he paying any attention to me?'
Frankly, she was the biggest reason he could become the rep—after declaring neutrality, she'd still helped him out.
And yet, right after dying, he ditches the server for PUBG? And hasn't logged in once?
This was straight-up outrageous.
Sure, he'd said thanks, and promised to drop everything if she ever needed him—a kind of wish voucher.
But that was that, and this was this.
If he died, he could've switched to another RP or just gone "Actually, I didn't die!" and restarted fresh.
Showing his face briefly at the concert rehearsal.
'He meets up with Jjining... and Bavin... drinks with them... ignores me after all I've done for him?!'
No one who abandons their first wife ever makes it big.
And if anyone does, she'll make damn sure it doesn't happen around her.
So.
Lera planned to help with Mungki's MungTube while punishing her ungrateful husband for ditching his first wife to hang out with other women.
And the conclusion of that plan was.
"Let's do Hanberde."
Hanberde—Hangang VTuber Date.
She'd need one more person to film it, but her agency could handle that no problem.
Mount a tablet screen and speaker with the VTuber and her voice on it, strapped to your chest like Iron Man's penalty enforcer.
Then wander around the Hangang like that—Hanberde, for short.
Social suicide or whatever, but it was killer content guaranteeing at least 50k views on MungTube.
Plus, she'd never done Hanberde before, and with over a million MungTube subs.
If she did it, attention was inevitable.
'Half my fans tuning in would still mean at least 500k views.'
A channel with under 10k subs getting 500k views on one video?
That was a straight-up miracle.
A chance for massive growth!
Lera wanted to give that opportunity to Mungki without holding back.
-"...You're too good to me... N-no, actually, I want in even more from my side?"
At Mungki's follow-up.
"Yeah, in that case, since you wanted to do this Hanberde with I-Mungnyong too, I'll consider my wish voucher unused?"
She fired back without missing a beat.
Of course.
-"No, but aren't you puking too hard at your husband's words? Ugh... Talking back to the head of the household like that...."
Mungki wasn't just going to take it lying down.
+++++++
"...."
Right after Lera and Hanberde came up.
- lolololololololololol
- What if he talks back? You gonna hit him? What you gonna do lol
- Hanberde's already locked in, talking back now? Fight me you bitch lol
- Yeah, go embrace social death
- A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after 10 years
- Can you handle it? Can you handle it? Can you handle it? Can you handle it? Can you handle it?
- Ttaran tta† Yeah, crossed the line, time for punishment lolololololol
- Still, Mungki's sweet—skipping clubs with that physique to date the First Lady by the Hangang lol
The chat exploded instantly.
'But if I can just stomach the embarrassment, it's all upside for me no matter how you slice it.'
Hanberde was social death on steroids, sure.
But from buzz to views to MungTube traffic.
If seized right, it was one of the best ways to grow a low-tier streamer's channel.
And with Yorang Garden's top-tier Lera as the VTuber?
Might not snag normies, but internet streamers? Locked in.
'Plus, viewers check my GTA stuff after for extra views.'
Honestly? Not bad. No, perfect.
He'd already cut ties with everyone IRL for streaming anyway.
Even if acquaintances saw, no shame.
'Parents won't know—YouTube algorithm won't push it their way.'
Kill the shame, pure gains.
"Hmm, snagged an amazing opportunity. Too good? I'll prep the concert rehearsal first."
- lololol just brush it off sloppily
- But sounds like he'll actually do it
- Legit good chance if you beat the social shame ㅇㅇ
- Problem's the stares from people around you
- Not me doing it tho so fine
- I'll def watch the stream lololololol
- Gotta clip it if viewers mungchu lololol
- Moongchu
- Cowardly mungchu bait;
- Can't help but mungchu here
- When will mungchu bait get banned
- Why can't we stop the mungchu
Of course, no matter how good, not a topic to drag on forever.
I switched straight to concert rehearsal talk.
"Can't sing for you yet, but I can reveal what songs. So here's that."
- Whatcha singing
- Yeah let's hear it
"What I'm singing is...."
I listed three candidate songs for the concert.
- Crazy bastard
- Who do you think you are?
- No way you're that good
- Sorry but can we hear it early? Can't grasp that confidence
- Ttaran tta† I don't say this lightly
- Ttaran tta† You mess up that song, shame worse than Hanberde—you know that right?
- Fr
- Dude major servers got ㅋㅋ vocal trainers, you sure you can handle?
- Now it's music majors, vocal majors, drum majors, janggu majors—tons ㅇㅇ;;;
- Confidence is wild, respect
Viewers lit up hot.
They love it—I'll deliver tomorrow.
"Wait nicely, I'll belt 'em out proper."
- Making us wait again ㅇㅈㄹ
- Ugh
- This guy's treating us like dogs?
- Hmm but Mungki level might pull it off
- Seriously not bad imo
- Becoming Munganu's dog huh...
- Mung-op♥♡♥♡ Already Mung-op's dog
- lolololololololol
- Gesaem strong rim
- Gesaem appearance
- You started it
- You flirted first
- This is your story
Alright, got the reactions.
Rehearsal now, concert tomorrow?
+++++
GTA Yorang Garden concert day.
"Hello! I'm Dalgeun, your concert host! Nice to meet you!"
"Woooaaahhhhh!!!!"
Every streamer in Yorang Garden server shed their RP.
Screaming freely to enjoy the concert.
"Lineup... Spoilers kill the fun! Just vibe hard! Give us that energy!"
Under Dalgeun's skilled direction—he ran big events like this often.
The Yorang Garden concert flowed butter-smooth.
Concerts like this rarely hit snags midway.
Unless a spectator forgets to mute and their voice bleeds onto stage.
Just a chill concert for singing and fun.
Hence.
- Damn so many good singers
- Pitch off tho? /This message has been blinded.
"Commenting's fine, but anyone folding arms all serious, sucking seriousness and rating? Instant ban.
Garden vocal #1, Mok Seonghyeon, managed chat strictly.
"No, what is this... Kids acting like it's a pro karaoke critique. GTA server wrap-up concert—don't get serious."
- ㅇㅈ
- Why serious at a fun concert lol
- Even idol-level singers, don't cross line
- Just afterparty concert, finale vibes ㅇㅇ
- Just spam ㄹㅇㅋㅋ lol
- Mood-blind star-raters are the worst ㅇㅇ
- Gotta purge fast
- Good black ㅇㅈ
"Oh yeah, new face at the concert—Mungki? Anyone know his singing level?"
- No
- No
- Who even
- First time ever
- Yorang Garden debut basically?
- Nah streams ~3 years
- Recent breakout case lol
- Wasn't planning concert till Lera begged
"Yeah? Zero info... Hmm, maybe comedy style?"
New faces rarely comet in singing amazingly.
If they sing great, it shows somehow.
Like singing for viewers a few times.
Zero info from streamers? Usually not great singers—conventional wisdom.
- Probably
- But whatcha singing
- Curious ㅇㅇ
- Could rap—guys do hip-hop lots
"Oh right, rap's a thing. Hip-hop pros look cool af."
Mok Seonghyeon suddenly got curious about Mungki's song.
Concert flew by till.
"Alright! You've waited long! Yorang Garden's eternal winter! Living rep! Hostess Bar incarnate! Hostess Bar demon! I-Mungnyong!"
"Woooaaahhhhh!!!"
Mungki's turn.
~110k concurrent viewers.
What song for this mega concert?
Expectations peaked.
"Mungnyong-ssi! No, Mungki-nim! Hi!"
"Yes, hello."
"110k concurrents! First big stage, right?"
"Ah... Not first. Debut was stage crashing...."
"Gasp."
- lolololololololol
- Can even mention that?
- Worked it out with Lera
- Hanberde booked as penalty ㅇㅇlol
- Big mistakes = big accountability
- Mungki embrace social death
- So what song lololol
"So official debut now?"
"Officially, yes."
- Official ㅇㅈㄹ
- Unofficial video donation praise then?
- Tsk
- Man's code: let it slide
- Dude does anime reactions? Covered the eh scenes lol
- Eh refreshing
Dalgeun kept chatting to ease Mungki's nerves.
'But Mungki-nim no big tension on stage...? Same as usual.'
No tension from Mungki—Dalgeun figured no need to drag.
"So what song?"
Cut to chase.
"Woodz... Drowning."
- ?
- Huh?
- lolololol fr?
- Singing that live?
- Original key?
- No way fr?
- School trip vibes
- Was just imagining singing Woodz Drowning live in music eval crushing on girls
- HS school trip, uni MT rec time—nail song girls go wooo
- Ok nail it, add to my bedtime fantasies ㅇㅇ
Serious song pick shocked everyone.
'Band song, rock at concert?'
Beyond good—had to be insane to pull off.
High difficulty, hard to nail vibe.
That?
"Not comedy...?"
Mok Seonghyeon panicked at title.
No comedy song.
Had to be done right.
This?
"...Makes sense? No, fr... what? That good? Zero data honestly."
- Fr
- Makes sense?
- That good?
- Voice solid tho
- Mungpa females ㅇㅇ
- Voice ≠ singing lol
- Ai song fakeout twerking?
"Nah."
Mok Seonghyeon nixed AI.
"That, Dalgeun-nim would've... laughed it off. Too real shock...."
- ㅇㅈ
- Yeah
- But can he? Song's brutal
"Watch."
What skill incoming.
Mok Seonghyeon—no, everyone watching Mungki thought that.
♪♬
MR kicked in.
"Out of my mind in love."
Mungki's first line dropped.
"Ah, what. Pro singer."
- Pro what?
- Same industry—singer lololol
- Fellow worker ㅇㅇ
- Pro lingo
Mok Seonghyeon leaned back, sank into chair.
"Kids, real singer crashed the concert. Grip on pressure, voice pierce—insane."
- Fr
- Sings great, hot, tall, thick thighs—got it all
- Crazy bastard
How's a singer this good pop up?
Low-tier 3 years? No one knew?
'Why... why now?'
Mok Seonghyeon genuinely curious about Mungki.
+++++
- Wtf
- Insane?
- Hmm just fantasized becoming Mungki
- Me too ㅇㅇ
- GTA concert call-up, nail Drowning, steal spotlight fantasy ㅇㅇ
- Soon S-rank pure maiden (key, vital, *****☆☆☆☆☆) gives number ㅇㅇ
- Mungki this prick hid this talent?
- Worst: his rep content's 40hr oxygen-free endgame kebab king
- Really wanted to kill him

- Finally shining
- Told ya, Mung coin moons someday
- Ttaran tta† Crazy talent till now
- lolololololol
- Manager-raging's a talent
- Mung-op♥♡♥♡ Vocals what???
Nailed the song clean.
Saw chat—grinned proud.
'Rehearsal was better.'
Rehearsal? Just hummed casually.
Just checking order—no need full effort.
Online concert skipped steps.
Real live? This first.
Fresh reactions post-song? Felt great.
"Woooaaahhhhh!!!!"
"Encore!!! Encore!!!"
"Not a singer? Mungki-nim aspiring idol?"
"Fr wtf... Should debut idol?"
"One more! One more before you go!"
Instant encore demands.

Dalgeun-nim greenlit time.
"One more then."
Clean encore.
"Mark Tuan Merry Me next."
- Eh
- Dark desires bursting dark desires bursting dark desires bursting dark desires bursting
- Feels like someone reading my school fantasy notebook
- Cringe but can't stop
~110k, now 120k concurrents.
My stream flooded too.
[Current Viewers: 2132]
One song, back to four digits.
'Alright, two songs for the image makeover?'
No more low-tier Mungki.
Post-this song, tomorrow—no, by week's end.
I'll be reborn.
++++++
Concert ended triumphantly.
Reborn as planned.
From low-tier Mungki.
"Mungki-nim, welcome!"
"...Hello."
To Hanberde Mungki.
"Ah...."
Concert was bliss.
Why this so soon?
Knew it'd come.
Not this fast.
"Babe! Let's start!"
Tablet her calls out.
Start what—my social death?
The humiliation?
'Concert was heaven.'
Death approaches.
