After Hayul's broadcast ended, the various communities were bound to erupt into chaos.
This is insane. They actually pulled it off lmao
They succeeded at that??? No way.
Absolutely mind-blowing...
Is my brain broken or something?
Of course it was. Hayul had single-handedly recreated a dish that even other Michelin chefs had failed at.
Just a bunch of randos who met some tire company's standards lmao
Carrier >>>>> Michelin chefs lmao
Because of that, Michelin chefs got roasted across communities, but it wasn't too bad. Everyone knew how insanely difficult it was.
The 'Virtual Streamer Gallery' losers who cried that Carrier's cooking stream was fake, but the result? Chef Kang Taeyeon confirmed the exact recreation ㅇㅇ;
Ah, just a pack of retarded ^tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists^ who can't do anything else.
I really thought Busgal won this round...
This shit's real lmao thought it was staged wtf??? So fucking confusing;
Next, they turned their guns on themselves. Obviously, anyone could see they'd made fools of themselves.
Always rolling hard with their forced narratives to dunk on someone, and they lose again??? When do these clowns ever win???
When tf?
(OP) No clue lololol
Busgal << These guys are just idiots upvote lmao
lmaoooooooo
Ah, just the gallery that keeps people alive ^^
Why do they keep surviving when we try to kill them!!!
They were lightening the mood with self-deprecating jokes for a while.
Maybe Chef Kang Taeyeon just played along with Carrier??? Honestly, I'm suspicious??? And I don't buy that Carrier's cooking is that good ㅇㅇ;
Dunno lol
Chef Kang ain't an idiot lmao she's on top after her first 3-star Michelin, no reason to fake it?
Retard
But such posts got buried under downvotes and insults. There was no reason for Chef Kang Taeyeon to do that.
Did that mean the post vanished without a trace? Not quite.
Recreated a 2-star's dish and satisfied 3-star standards? Doesn't that mean her skills are Michelin level???
A new fire ignited in the gallery—this time about Hayul's cooking skills.
You trashed them all this time, now suddenly "disrespect" lmao what a joke
Not Michelin level, but has potential to reach it? Seems fair?
Recreated a '2-star dish' and got high praise, but it wasn't even a real course meal—just one plate served ㅇㅇ
If your boss at the BBQ joint makes you miso soup and rice during your shift, is that BBQ???
What analogy? It's dogshit
Impressive recreation, but calling it Michelin level is bs;
It is Michelin level idiots, she did what Michelin chefs couldn't;;
What kinda retarded analogy???
This debate spread not just in the Virtual Streamer Gallery, but across countless communities.
Way above average for sure, but not quite Michelin???
Skills from the Taeyeon ep looked legit ㅇㅇ
But isn't it more about her deduction/recreation skills than straight cooking???
That's bs lmao
Her cooking prowess and ability to recreate past dishes drew massive attention.

It even made the news. Thanks to that, word spread to regular folks who hadn't watched the stream.
100K viewers on an internet stream! Impressive!
Comparing one streamer to Michelin... isn't that a bit much,,,
100M in donations... must be a bunch of jobless losers~~~
Rich folks donating more than you, mind your business lmao
What??? Who the hell are you??? You disrespectful prick???? Is that how your parents raised you????
Countless people started paying attention to Hayul's stream and cooking skills. Naturally, she couldn't care less about any of it.
"Hayul, check this out!"
Seoyun, the community addict, wasn't about to let it slide.
2.
A white basin filled with water. Sinks, utensils, and ladles settled at the bottom. I slipped on pristine rubber gloves and squirted dish soap onto a scrubber.
Clink clink—
I meticulously soaped up each dish I pulled out. Seeing the grimy tableware sparkle made me feel great.
I love this part the most.
Some people hate doing dishes, but I cherished this moment. No stray thoughts—just pure focus on the task at hand.
I could've magicked it clean in seconds, but I was doing it by hand on purpose.
"Hmm~"
Sweet jazz flowed from my phone nearby. I was swaying lightly to the upbeat tune when—
"Hayul—!"
The shout from behind shattered the perfect melody. A dissonant note crashed in.
"...Why?"
I shot my sister a sullen glare. Ruining my rare moment of peace like this.
"You seen the communities? Everyone's talking about you!"
"Yeah?"
I replied flatly, focusing on the dishes. Rinsed off the suds and set them on the drying rack.
"What? Why so chill? Aren't you excited?"
"...Not really?"
No thoughts on it. My name popping up in communities was routine anyway.
"Isn't it all about Chef Kang Taeyeon?"
"No! It's all about you, I swear! Look!"
Sis waved her phone dramatically, blocking my view. Forced to read the community post.
"Yeah, lots about me."
"Right? That's why emails are flooding in—stream invites, ad inquiries, the works!"
"Cool. But sis."
"Yeah?"
"You gonna finish editing the VTube video or just keep scrolling?"
Her body froze at my question. She averted her eyes and took a step back.
"W-Well..."
"Sis. I never said shit about you browsing communities. But if you're ditching work to scroll all day, maybe I need to rethink that."
"S-Sorry! Doing it right now!"
She bolted to her room. Gotta sneak in later to check if she's actually editing.
Finished the dishes, brewed some coffee, and settled on the living room couch with snacks.
Slurp—
Coffee in one hand, phone in the other. Time to check communities.
"Hm..."
I scrolled through, reading key posts thoroughly. Took a while to check everywhere.
Lots of interest in me.
Especially whether my cooking rivaled Michelin. That was the hot topic.
Slurp—
Is my cooking really that good?
I pondered alone, but with no fine dining experience of my own—only from Chef Kang's memories—I couldn't conclude.
Maybe go try it myself.
Spending over $1K on one meal felt off-putting, honestly.
It'd taste great, sure. But my food was delicious too. Franchise burgers hit the spot.
If asked if omakase was worth ten burger combos, I'd tilt my head.
Later.
Not urgent, so whenever an opportunity arose.
Scrolling again, a intriguing title with 500+ upvotes caught my eye—lots of agreement.
VR taste recreation? Impressive. Recreating Yura/Kang Taeyeon dishes? Impressive ㅇㅇ
But objectively, Carrier's never proven she's actually a great cook ㅇㅇ That's why the debate.
Not saying run a restaurant for stars nn. Just prove your cooking objectively ㅇㅇ
Fr lmao Carrier fans lost it ㅇㅇ
Win a 1v1 cooking show against a Michelin chef, does that make you one? Nah ㅇㅇ
"Hmm..."
Previous posts hadn't bugged me. But this cooking angle? A little irksome. Guess I do have pride in my cooking.
What to do...
Lunchtime dilemma. Not great.
