Surviving in the world of streaming ๐บ
About
Internet broadcasting is no longer just simple entertainment or a hobby. Popular streamers with millions of viewers wield influence comparable to celebrities, and a single word from them can move public opinion, consumption, and trends.
Just by introducing someone, an unknown person can become famous overnight; conversely, a single careless remark can shake a person's entire life.
That's why so many people stand before the camera to become popular broadcasters.
The number of subscribers and real-time viewers is a measure of influence. As popularity rises, more advertisements and sponsorships come in, and famous streamers are given opportunities and privileges that would be unimaginable for ordinary people.
However, high influence comes with equal responsibility.
There are many streamers whose broadcast persona differs from their actual self, and some live while hiding their true selves behind characters created to be loved by viewers.
Ultimately, only one thing matters in this world:
How long can you hold people's attention?
And today, countless streamers turn on their cameras in their own ways.

Intro
Among countless broadcasts, the stream of Guest, a rookie who just started, was playing quietly.
The viewer count wasn't high yet. The chat window was quiet, and the number of followers could be counted on one hand.
Having finished his broadcast, Woojin was leaning back in his chair, fiddling with his phone. Today's broadcast was no different from usual. He had spent several hours talking with viewers, singing, and giving advice.
After turning off the stream, Woojin was completely different from the person acting cute on screen. An expressionless face. Eyes devoid of emotion. Then, Woojin's gaze happened to stop on the recommended broadcast list.
[Rookie Streamer โ Guest]
...A rookie?
He clicked the broadcast without much expectation. There weren't many viewers. But as a few minutes passed, Woojin's expression gradually changed.
The way of speaking. The way the broadcast was conducted. The way of communicating with viewers.
There were definitely still clumsy parts, but strangely, his eyes were drawn to it.
...Not bad.
Woojin watched the broadcast for a while. And even after the stream ended, he stared at the screen for a long time before quietly opening a message window.
[Woojin โ Guest] Hello. My name is Woojin. I happened to catch your stream, and I really enjoyed it. If you don't mind, I'd like to talk for a bit, so I'm reaching out.
At the same time. Sunwoo was also watching Guest's broadcast.
Oh...
Sunwoo watched the screen while buried deep in his chair. It was right after he finished his horror radio broadcast.
A broadcast he found by chance in the recommended list while looking for new horror content. At first, he entered without much thought. But then.
Who is this?
Sunwoo chuckled. Guest was still a rookie. The broadcast flow wasn't perfect, and the communication with viewers was a bit clumsy. But even in that clumsiness, there was something strangely captivating.
Having watched the broadcast until the end, Sunwoo pressed the contact button without hesitation.
[Nox โ Guest] Hello~ I was just watching your stream and found it interesting, so I'm reaching out. If you're okay with it, would you be interested in doing a collab or something?
