Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 312

Hyung, aren’t I cute? 312

I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t say anything.

Why did it turn out like this?

“What is this?”

「It seems like the cloud drawing became a hot topic before. But on top of that, I was revealed as an emoticons artist.」

“I never hid it, though?”

「Anyway. A lot of people found out, right? Maybe that’s why everyone’s been sharing and spreading it since they heard about this event?」

Did that cause such a stir?

“Ah…. When I refresh, there are so many Korean comments…….”

「Right?」

Come to think of it, more than 10,000 people bought Siha’s emoticons. Of course, I don’t know how many people have bought them in total so far.

It’s probably a little over 10,000.

No, but SNS [Social Networking Services] is really scary.

“What should I do? There are too many comments? When am I going to draw the winners…….”

「Why don’t you do a stream this time?」

“What?”

「It’s fun to watch the drawing without showing your face, right? And isn’t it transparent? Because we don’t know what will happen if you draw the winners by yourself, oppa [term used by younger women to address older brothers or male friends].」

“Do I have to go that far?”

「Bad things might be said since it became such a hot topic.」

“Hmm.”

Well, if my face isn’t showing.

Come to think of it, there were people who streamed with characters without showing their faces.

「Leave the full video as evidence later.」

“Wouldn’t it be better to just record it then?”

「They’ll even doubt that? There are always people with suspicion.」

“In my opinion, you’re making things bigger, aren’t you?”

「No way. It’s the perfect time right now!」

“What’s a good time?”

「A good time to grow the channel!」

I don’t want to grow the channel?

It would be nice to grow, but I don’t want to grow rapidly and work hard to manage it.

You know how it is.

Just satisfied with posting small daily records?

It feels good when people praise and comment, but I’m not absorbed in it.

「Is it not good?」

“No, it’s a good idea. But I don’t think many people will watch the stream?”

「Maybe?」

Watching a recorded video and watching a stream were different.

Even if the number of subscribers is good, it’s not the demand for watching streams.

“Anyway, I don’t think it’s a good way to grow the channel.”

「Actually, I just thought it would be nice to do a stream once. It has its own charm!」

“Okay. We can do it at your house, right?”

「???」

“I don’t have a computer to stream at my house.”

「Ah…….」

The problem is that I only have a laptop and no desktop.

The specs have to be good enough to stream.

“Then, call tomorrow evening?”

「Yes! I understand. Let’s eat together and do it.」

That’s how the impromptu stream was formed.

***

Streaming day.

After 24 hours, I posted a notice on the channel.

There were more comments than I thought, so I said that the drawing would be conducted via streaming for transparency.

Please watch if there are no special events.

8 PM Korean time. 7 AM Washington time.

“Siha. I’m nervous. Aren’t you?”

“No. Siha will do it all.”

“Ah, really?”

It’s been a while since I streamed.

It’s the first time since I streamed with pro gamer Bell.

But wouldn’t it be pretty good since my face won’t be showing this time?

And I don’t plan on doing it for long.

I’m just going to draw the winners and congratulate them.

Seo Su-hyeon smiled and said.

“Oppa. It’s all done.”

“Oh? Really?”

“Yes. The stream will end if you just press the video send button here.”

“Ah. I see.”

“I’ll send it.”

Seo Su-hyeon pressed the send button without even hearing my answer.

“Hey.”

“Why? You can’t hear me if the microphone is off.”

“Ah, really?”

“You have to let them come in advance.”

That’s true.

Seo Su-hyeon had two monitors, and the monitor screen being sent out had Pepe’s image file on it.

“Ooh! Awesome! 10 people came in.”

“Oooooh.”

“How many people do you expect?”

“Since there are over 3,000 subscribers, about 100 people?”

“About that many will come.”

If I hadn’t done the event, maybe about 10 people would have come.

That’s how hard streaming content was.

Even if it’s a game, it’s very good if 1,000 people come out.

“Then I’ll turn on the microphone.”

“Okay.”

When I looked at the people, there were already 30 people.

I decided to just proceed because it didn’t seem like many people would come anyway.

“Hello.”

“Hi hi!”

Siha waved at the camera.

Siha. That camera doesn’t record. So it’s no use waving.

-SihaSiha!

-SihaPepe, so it just becomes Siha!

-lololol it sounds like you’re saying your name

-sihapepe!!

-your voice is cool!!

-luvluvluvluv

“Hmm. I was thinking of proceeding in Korean, but there are a lot of English speakers too. Oh? If it’s okay, Siha will proceed and I will translate into English.”

When I recited it in English, I got a question about who Siha was.

There was also a question about whether SihaPepe’s author’s child’s name was Siha, so it was SihaPepe.

I couldn’t answer everything about that, but I just said that my younger sibling’s name was Siha.

“Siha is four years old. I’m going to do a drawing today. Fighting!”

-so cute!!!

-wow

-Crazy, that voice is so cute ㅠㅠㅠ

-SihaPepe’s author is using a cheat key. Using a child.

-By the way, that English voice is so good ㅎㄷㄷ

Siha can’t read the comments, so she just said what she wanted to say.

I let her proceed on her own.

Let’s leave the Korean part to Siha.

“Thank you for leaving so many comments~ Now let’s do the drawing. Drawing.”

I opened the comments that I had moved to an Excel file in advance.

“Siha. How many comments are there?”

“Ung. Four, five, three, nine!”

4539 comments.

In fact, more comments were added after that, but I cut it off after 24 hours.

I had no choice but to cut it off sharply.

“There are many numbers here. Siha will draw and match the answer!”

She’s not matching the answer, she’s saying the winner.

Everyone is charmed by Siha’s words.

I translated it into English and added an explanation, and foreigners really liked it.

-Wow. But your English pronunciation is good!

-It’s good because it’s easy to hear accurately! But I thought I was listening to an American streaming broadcast.

-The baby’s voice is so cute! I like that you interpret what you’re saying.

-I knew it since SihaPepe’s author uploaded pictures in English.

-But nowadays, anyone can upload in English, but I didn’t know you could speak so well.

-What can’t you do?!

-You must be ugly. Anyway, you must be ugly!

-Since your face isn’t out, you must be ugly!!!

It seems like fans who want my ugly face came to watch the stream.

Oh? That’s what I mean. Aren’t I just average?

In fact, it’s something that men think about once in a while.

‘I’m just average.’

Of course, it could be a generalization error.

“Hyung. How do I do this?”

“You click this button and a number will come out.”

“Okay.”

“Everyone. I will now run the random number program. The number that comes out is the winner.”

“Siha click. Click.”

“Okay.”

Click.

The number came out in an instant.

“Siha. Keep going.”

Click. Click. Click.

I wrote down the numbers next to her.

“Fun!”

When I checked the number of viewers watching, there were already over 300 people.

More people came than I thought.

Click. Click. Click.

Every time I heard the clicking sound, I added my voice to congratulate them.

-Oh please!

-Please let me win. Really!

-But how did so many comments get posted ㅠㅠ

-More comments than subscribers…..bad guys…

-80 is too smallㅠㅠ

-I’ll give you money, so please sell it to me!!! I’ll give you more!!!

Siha must have been curious because of these comments.

Well, Siha can’t read Korean or English.

“Hyung.”

“Yeah?”

“What are hyung and nuna [term used by younger people to address older sisters or female friends] saying?”

“Ah. Who? The viewers?”

“Ah ah. Viewer hyung, nuna.”

“They’re praying to win.”

“Siha will work hard! Fighting. Fighting. Viewer hyung, nuna. Siha will pick them all. Wait.”

Sniff. Siha is so cute that it’s bad for my heart.

I have to translate this quickly.

It wasn’t just me who felt that way, the comment section was a mess.

-Crazy. Reallyㅠㅠㅠ

-Hyung and nunaㅠㅠ so cuteㅠㅠㅠ

-Actually, we’re uncle and aunt, but it’s good to hear!

-I’m a high school student, so aren’t I hyung and nuna?

-Yeah. No. Go back.

-lololol Even if you’re a high school freshman, there’s a 13-year age difference lol

I had already picked 80 people.

Unfortunately, those who didn’t win had to aim for the next opportunity.

I don’t know if there will be a next opportunity.

“Yes! Congratulations to the 80 winners. Shall we see who it is?”

I reloaded Excel and went through the verification process according to the winning numbers.

“Let’s see. Number 4182. Taradarara. Tararararara.”

-Love House BGM lol

-SihaPepe’s author is at least from the 90s lol

-How can the BGM come out so naturally lol

Siha also sang the BGM along with me.

It just came out naturally because the audio shouldn’t be empty.

Anyway, 80 people were selected and the winners were really happy.

“Congratulations everyone. Lastly, I’ll draw the numbering and leave.”

I finished drawing the numbers.

It’s really time to end it now.

In fact, it might be better to communicate more, but that’s not what I was trying to do in the first place.

Anyway, people know SihaPepe’s author as me, so I was curious what the reaction would be if they actually knew it was Siha.

In fact, I also have a stake in it.

“Then it’s time to say goodbye. Siha. Would you like to say hello for the last time?”

“Siha knows this!”

“Huh?”

“Viewer hyung, nuna! Please subscribe and like~ Bye bye.”

“Pfft.”

Kids these days know all those comments.

I ended the broadcast for now.

The people who were left were going crazy in the comments saying it was too cute.

“Where did you learn that comment?”

“Su-hyeon nuna always does it!”

Seo Su-hyeon’s face, who was quietly watching from behind, turned bright red.

She seems embarrassed.

***

I created a new email on Google.

I felt like it would be dangerous to use the email I kept using.

I left an email comment to the winners and also left a message saying that if there was no reply, it would go to someone else.

Of course, I got a reply right away as if there was no such person.

Address, name, phone number, etc.

I also exchanged accounts via email and received the money for sure.

The really annoying thing is that I have to send 80 of them by 택배 [Taekbae; Korean delivery service].

The countries were also very diverse.

About 10 of the winners were Korean.

Honestly, it was easiest to send it to people in my own country.

“I sent them all.”

Once I experienced it, I didn’t want to do this kind of event again.

If I thought I should sell goods, it would be better to just leave it to a company.

Or maybe it would be okay if it was really small, like 10.

This was the first time I did it, so I gave away so many products as an event.

In fact, it wouldn’t be a lot from the perspective of SihaPepe fans.

“Hyung. Are you okay?”

“I know. Should I have just sold them?”

“No. People liked it. Siha was happy to give gifts.”

“Really?”

I don’t know why our Siha is so kind.

In fact, she could have just had 100 of them, but she gave them as gifts to the people around her.

Of course, I sold it to the fans, but we didn’t get much money.

I’m not a celebrity, so I can’t do a reverse support while losing money.

When I looked into the shipping costs, there was also overseas express delivery, so I sent it that way.

It was a little over 100,000 won [~80 USD], so I was terrified.

There’s really no money left.

“Hyung. Siha can’t hold all the gifts.”

“Don’t worry. Hyung will hold them all for you. Who were you giving them to?”

“Baek-dong hyung, Su-hyeon nuna.”

“You gave Su-hyeon nuna when you were filming the stream at home before.”

“Oops! Jail! Jail!”

“It’s not jail, it’s 깜빡 [kkamppak; meaning ‘oops’ or ‘slip of mind’], let’s be careful with the pronunciation.”

What if I go to jail leaving hyung behind?

Am I going in for being too cute?

I had such absurd thoughts.

“Siha can hold three.”

“Okay. You’re pronouncing three today?”

“Huh?”

Lee Siha. A man who is serious about 3.

“Oh, that’s right. Come to think of it, I think I received donations while streaming?”

“What’s donation?”

“Ah, that’s when you give pocket money to cheer me on.”

“Pocket money?!”

“Yeah. Shall we check?”

I had set it up so that the sound of donations wouldn’t come out because I was also recording.

I went to the SihaPepe channel on my phone and checked the donation statement.

“Huh?”

It was the moment when the Red Pepe gift turned into a surplus.
