"Everyone, take your seats quick! I'm gonna sing the opening song, nyang!"
Was this the same person who'd been on death's door with low energy just moments ago?
The second she hit the broadcast start button, Dongbaekyang transformed into the most bubbly person on the planet.
Her awkward dance moves and off-key singing filled the screen.
Even as the chat exploded into a dumpster fire, she didn't stop.
I'd learned this from monitoring her streams with Dahye over the past few days: that sheer shamelessness was the true charm of Dongbaekyang's broadcasts.
She barreled ahead with whatever she wanted, no regard for the viewers' frustration.
The back-and-forth banter with the audience, the shameless trolling without a hint of awareness.
Her streams were undeniably entertaining.
Even I, who never watched internet broadcasts, couldn't look away.
I wished my girl could broadcast with that same brazen confidence...
Dahye was waiting behind the screen for her cue.
Every time our eyes met, her smiling face betrayed her—her lips quivering slightly from nerves.
The moment I made a dumb face, she burst into that gummy smile of hers.
Then, with a pouty glare, she mouthed Stop it! like a total sulk.
Yep, that's Dahye.
No matter how I looked at her right now, I still couldn't get used to it.
The platinum blonde wig exposed her forehead boldly.
She'd always had that cute vibe, but without bangs, she was straight-up stunning.
If I'd seen her like this for the first time, I might not have even had the guts to talk to her.
She looked like a celebrity.
The airy green mini-dress fit her forest fairy concept perfectly, paired with fresh, innocent makeup.
I had no idea how she pulled it off, but even her eyebrows were blonde now—she looked foreign.
For a second, I thought she'd secretly brought in some celeb,
but that wide-mouthed, gummy grin confirmed it was Dahye.
Seeing her smile like that put my mind at ease.
"Alright, that's enough. Time for homework, so I'm pulling up Dona now. You know what that means? Right next to me is the guest you've all been dying for!"
I checked viewer reactions on my phone and tablet.
The chat scrolled so fast I couldn't read it...
But "ecstasy" was crystal clear amid the flood.
Viewership had already broken ten thousand.
If it was this wild already, what would happen when Dahye appeared?
Even I puffed up with pride at her beauty.
Made me wanna brag.
Dongbaekyang strutted around like she'd booked the guest herself before introducing Dahye.
"Here comes King Rosanne from the cosplay team Spinning Dox! Everyone, give it up~!"
No turning back now—it was Dahye's turn.
I shook my head to send her one last cheer, then turned to the broadcast screen.
There she was, creaking into frame from the corner.
The ecstasy chat going berserk.
The lighting effects were no joke.
She was gorgeous already, but on-screen with the filters? Blinding.
Sorry, Dongbaekyang, but... squid game over.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Eternal Princess Crown Gallery.
Otherwise known as <Etプリ갤>, it was in the midst of its biggest boom since creation.
The most-used image over the past two weeks? Pics of King Rosanne and Joggna.
Dahye's cosplay had been the talk of the town.
This was her first appearance since G-Fest.
— Rosannu-nim JOooooOONNA HUGE ONE'S HERE!!! — ㅇㅇ She's really here? Thought she was a normie, how'd they book her;;; — Yudong Jinapdan Insane... With cam filters, she's straight CG. Way hotter reaction than I expected.
The internet broadcast communities and Eternal Princess Crown's official site were buzzing the same way.
Posts exploding, viewership hitting twenty thousand in a flash.
Dahye spun a circle at Dongbaekyang's prompt, showing off the outfit to the viewers.
Those long legs peeking from under the short dress? Pure elf.
Chat was still ecstasy central.
Just her entrance had this much power—what if it stayed like this for the full two hours?
Wonder how it'll go.
The broadcast agenda was entirely up to Dongbaekyang today.
If it were me, I'd leverage the cosplay to intro a new avatar and slide into art streaming.
But no such luck—the merciless interview kicked off right away.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Whoa, so they scouted you right on-site?"
"Yeah... They said no one else was available..."
"No way, for real~. But I get why they scouted you—the image matches the character perfectly. I legit thought I was gonna faint when I first saw you~."
"Hehe..."
Dahye kept glancing my way mid-answer.
I nodded enthusiastically, thumbs-up flying.
You're killing it! Perfect! I telepathed.
She was doing amazingly— if only she could feel that confidence.
But...
Short answers, hesitant tone.
The internet reaction had flipped 180 degrees ages ago.
Ten minutes in, and comments like this started popping.
— ㅇㅇ Even for a normie, this is lame. Looks like she hates streaming. — BlueEntDoesSung Mannequin much lololol Dongbaekyang's got class and she's one-wording? Hate to see it. Dongbaekyang's interview prep shone through.
High-level questions, cherry-picking what viewers wanted to know.
But Dahye stuck to one-worders, forcing Dongbaekyang to drag answers out.
No wonder the backlash.
Dahye's smile faded bit by bit, even as she started.
She must've seen the chat.
She was honestly doing great.
I asked the manager to moderate chat, but he was overwhelmed.
"I'm banning as fast as I can... Feels like they're coordinating from somewhere. Can't keep up with the influx."
Coordinated attack, huh.
Nothing better to do?
The trolls were few at first, but momentum built as others piled on.
— DBYssiThumpBba End the homework NNNNOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!! Viewership at 34k now.
This trajectory? Viewers up, hate steady.
And that's when Dongbaekyang pivoted.
She'd ignored the chat storm till now.
Judging it unsalvageable, she switched topics from cosplay entirely.
"If you went to G-Fest solo, you must love this game, right King Rosanne?"
"Yes! I love it! Been playing MMOs for nearly ten years!"
Game talk.
God-tier move.
Dahye turns into a chatterbox on games.
A few days back, she'd filled out Dongbaekyang's question sheet with Billion Saga stuff—probably teeing that up.
Chat would chill, Dahye would have fun.
Dongbaekyang delivers.
Or so I thought...
But the topic she dropped was light-years from Billion Saga.
"So I prepared this! You've heard of it, right King Rosanne? Part one's content... drumroll! The hot new release from yesterday—Elden Rosari!"
Elden Rosari?
Here? Now?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Elden Rosari.
Impossible for any gamer to not know.
Latest in the brutal [Holy Soul] series—you die thousands of times to clear.
AAA title, fresh off a six-year hiatus, launched yesterday.
That console by her PC finally made sense.
She'd prepped big.
Classic Dongbaekyang—ultra-hard game, screams, deaths, emotions ramp up.
Viewers eat it up.
Perfect read on gamer psychology.
Hot newbie enters gamer world,
gawkers love watching her suffer.
That's why they trot out non-gamer announcers or celebs for game promos.
Issue is, the gamer here is Dahye.
Will it play out as planned?
From watching her the past month...
Her talent's something else.
Today's Mission: Clear the First Boss. Dongbaekyang handed Dahye the gamepad and dropped the mission.
Clear the first boss in part one's hour.
Viewers started pooling bets instantly—hit 500k won quick.
Viewership past 40k.
Post-Dahye grip? Troll chat vanished, pure Dahye reactions.
Lols, advice, "cute" spam.
Her fumbling the buttons? Adorable even to me.
"Um... square jumps, triangle talks...?"
"First time on console?"
"Yeah! Only PC MMOs for me."
"Then learn by dying! No more practice—forward march."
No tutorial—starts mid-cave.
Dahye crept the character ahead.
Cave opens to a clearing,
first monster: skull soldier gripping sword and shield, smack in the center.
Other games? Two hits.
But [Holy Soul] series? Death incoming, no shock.
Then Dongbaekyang fired up betting to hype chat.
🎲 Viewer Betting 🎲 Deaths in 1 hour: 20+ Bet on Dahye dying 20+ times vs under—game points on the line.
But lopsided AF.
20+ deaths: 98%
Under 20: 2%
Needs balance for bets.
98% on sure-thing death? Hype dies.
Now just mocking the 2% contrarians.
Thwack!
Dahye grazed by the skull's sword.
Over-the-top death anim, blood fountain.
One skim, half HP gone.
"Eek! Why's it so slow!? Isn't this a trash mob!?"
"That's the game! Can't adapt? Die."
Chat lololol spam, viewers reveling in prophecy.
Dahye ignored it.
No questions, just staring at the monitor.
Lips pursed, brows in a V.
Three minutes later...
Chat flipped.
