Chapter Title: 100K Views and Fashion Talent Scout
-----------------------------------------------------------------
24 hours after opening Yeon-i Tube and uploading the first video.
It racked up 100,000 views.
Honestly, I hadn't expected it to blow up right out of the gate—I figured even hitting 1,000 views would be impressive—but incredibly, it reached 100,000.
Results that far surpassed my wildest expectations. I couldn't contain my amazement. I was utterly dumbfounded, my mind blank except for how incredible it was.

Every time I refreshed, the comment count went up. Views, subscribers, and likes were climbing in real time too. The comments were overwhelmingly positive.
She's so pretty it makes my heart race.
Tried following along with Yeon-i and it's tougher than I thought.
Came from the community forums. You're really pretty.
I've been getting into workouts lately—gonna follow along every day.
Thanks for the wholesome content.
Do you have a boyfriend? He must be so lucky.
Following along with Yeon-i—it's amazing!
Sis, you're too pretty. Fell for you at first sight.
Ninety-nine out of a hundred were positive.
But every now and then, there were comments that crossed the line.
Body looks fucking delicious. Wanna fuck you like a dog.
Aren't you a whore? Selling your body, slut?
Fuck, those thighs are so juicy. So fucking hot.
Faceless hate comments with no parents in sight. It soured my mood, furrowing my brow.
'Fucking scum.'
True haters are evil trash that shouldn't exist.
I hammered the dislike button on the hate comments in rage.
I hoped sweet Ha-yeon hadn't seen them.
And if she had, I hoped they wouldn't hurt her.
Whoa? What's with the reaction? Why's it blowing up like this?
100K views? Piggy, am I gonna be rich now?
Piggy was right—we're heading for 1M subscribers?
Thank you so much. It's all thanks to you, Piggy. When we get paid, I'll buy you eel and goji berry wine. You can torment me all night.
Ignore the hate comments.
Yeah lol, in one ear and out the other.
In any group of five, one's bound to be trash, right?
I think it's weirder if there are no hate comments.
But... do my thighs look juicy?
Good good good mindset!
Your thighs? Super juicy.
Ha-yeon's thighs look fucking delicious.
Lmao so vulgar. Embarrassing.
Piggy~ Wanna go on a date tonight?
I want something yummy.
Motel date?
No, not motel date;;
Seriously perverted;;
There are normal dates too, you know?
Why? You can eat yummy stuff at a motel too?
I want a motel date.
Want yummy food and want to eat Ha-yeon too.
Wanna stroke those juicy thighs.
Pervert;; Seriously don't know you, dummy idiot;;
Keep it up and no date for you~
Sorry. My bad. Forgive me.
Motel date tonight, for sure.
Jin-seong sat on a bench, leisurely scanning the profiles of passersby.
He was hunting for talent.
Out of every five passersby, three were ordinary, one a saint, and one a problem child.
Some who looked kind were truly kind.
Others looked kind but were rotten inside.
Some who looked evil were actually good.
And plenty of rough-looking folks were perfectly normal.
Some appeared rich but were drowning in debt.
Others looked poor but held tens of billions in wealth.
As he scanned profiles for a while...
'Oh?! Found one!!'
He spotted talent.
'Pushing him as a fashion YouTuber looks promising.'
He was specialized for modeling or fashion.
Not sure about 1M subscribers, but 500K seemed doable.
Even one S-rank talent made someone a talent.
Min Jin-ho had one SS, one S+, one S, and one A—a top-tier prospect.
'And Min Jin-ho is unemployed.'
He was sick of jobless life and desperate for work.
"Excuse me."
He stood from the bench and approached Min Jin-ho. Called out, but no response.
"Excuse me."
A bit louder. Min Jin-ho stopped, turning back with a puzzled look.
Min Jin-ho was strikingly handsome—enough to spark jealousy. Like he'd chugged 800 doses of Handsome Pill. Dark aura mixed with sexy, decadent charm.
"Y-Yes? M-Me? D-Did you c-call m-me?"
From his stammer...
'Severe stutter.'
It clicked why he had no friends, felt lonely, worried about jobs, hated unemployment.
'Eh, no big deal.'
Didn't matter if he had a speech impediment.
A stutter wouldn't stop him from being a YouTuber.
"Hi. Mind if we talk?"
"T-Talk?"
"Yeah. Oh, here's who I am."
Jin-seong pulled a business card from his wallet.
He'd just had them made.
[YSP Entertainment CEO Yoo Jin-seong]
YSP Entertainment.
Y from Yoo Jin-seong.
S from Success Era.
P from People.
Representing himself, the game, and people.
"I run a YouTuber agency."
"A-A Y-YouTuber ag-agency?"
"Yeah. Know Release and Yeon-i Tube?"
"Y-Yeah, I-I do. I'm... a s-subscriber."
"They're both with my company."
Lonely Min Jin-ho filled the void online.
Lots of communities, YouTube, SNS.
Of course he knew the hot names Release and Yeon-i Tube.
"Ever thought about being a YouTuber?"
"Y-YouTuber..."
Min Jin-ho was half shocked, half flustered.
Him, a YouTuber?
Never crossed his mind. Seemed totally mismatched for a nobody like him. Thought it was for eloquent, sociable, charismatic types.
Inner Thoughts: Flustered.
Inner Thoughts: Hungry.
"Eaten yet?"
"N-Not y-yet."
"How about grabbing a bite and chatting?"
"I-I'm b-broke..."
"My treat, obviously. Let's go. Anything you want?"
"I-I eat any-anything f-fine."
Inner Thoughts: Ribs.
Took him to Myeongnyun Jinsa Galbi.
Over ribs, they talked.
"YSP Entertainment values honesty and mutual growth. We aim for a business model where the company, YouTubers, and viewers trust and benefit each other. For example..."
"I've got a good eye for people, and Jin-ho, you're handsome, great proportions, killer style—think you could hit 500K subs easy."
"Fashion YouTuber suits you perfectly. Recommend men's outfits, review new drops..."
"Not confident? We'll support you fully—trend analysis, knowledge gaps, gear, budget, editing, whatever."
Jin-seong peeked at Min Jin-ho's inner thoughts.
Min Jin-ho didn't feel bad.
Honestly, he felt good.
Chatting with Jin-seong was nice, eating was nice, high praise was great.
Loneliness faded.
Low self-esteem filled up.
Inner Thoughts: Me as a fashion YouTuber...
Inner Thoughts: Above all... CEO seems like a good guy...
Min Jin-ho's eyes shook intensely.
"I-I'll th-think ab-about it."
"Take your time, decide carefully."
"Y-Yeah, I'll th-think it o-over and c-contact you."
"Company address is on the card. Drop by anytime."
They talked for ages.
At the rib joint, then a cafe.
'I like him.'
Jin-seong took a shine to Min Jin-ho.
Timid but deep, kind-hearted, pure. Felt like a good connection. Mood lifted; he smiled faintly.
Grabbed a taxi to the supplement factory.
Checked KakaoTalk.

Arrived at the supplement factory.
Stepped out of the taxi.
'Huh?'
Jin-seong's eyebrow twitched.
Red seals plastered everywhere.
