Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 287

SihaPepe’s video was uploaded.

As always, it started with background music and a white canvas.

A drawing appeared with subtitles.

[Hello, this is SihaPepe. It’s been a while.]

Since the videos were uploaded according to Siha’s drawing schedule, the uploads were never regular.

It wasn’t for the purpose of making money anyway, but rather to add a line of experience to Siha’s profile.

Someday, this channel might be useful.

That was Sihyuk’s thought.

[Can you hear the song now? Youtuber Shu-nim made it for me. Today, I want to tell the story through the lyrics without any special explanations.]

[Shu-nim sang the song, and I added a spoonful of seasoning to it. Yes! I honestly sang it. Haha.]

[I’m not good at it, but I thought you might find it fun, so I tried singing.]

In fact, there was no intention to be funny.

He laid the groundwork like this and just told the story honestly.

[It was a lie. I had to add another person to sing to match the length of the video. Haha.]

People commented that they liked that honesty.

Even though the video hadn’t even properly started yet.

[The title of this drawing is ‘Spring Has Come.’ Let’s see what kind of story is embedded in it.]

First, Pepe was being drawn quickly.

However, today he was wearing a penguin mask and holding a *danso* [a short bamboo flute] in his hand.

And as that figure was revealed, the song began to play.

[When the world is deceived.

The dispossessed people.

Hold a red heart in their chests.

Each took up arms.]

Pepe is being colored in quickly.

The *danso* was painted in a deep brown color, giving it a more solid feel.

Seo Su-hyun’s wistful voice added to that feeling.

[Birds without faces.

To reveal the truth.

Hold a *danso* in their hands.

Each made a sound.]

The second drawing.

Colorful cloths appear.

The thin cloth hanging on the roadside that I saw in the folk village is the background.

However, Pepe is turning his back, and a black silhouette flickers behind a wide cloth.

As if someone is there.

[What are you looking for? Where are you going?

Is this the right way to go? Please answer me.

Do you bloom and fade in vain? Please tell me the answer.]

The third drawing.

Pepe’s first-person perspective shows his hands and *danso*.

He is shown pulling away the cloth with the *danso*.

Beyond that, new modern buildings can be seen.

The drawing is zoomed in to draw in detail in a small area.

A snack bar, a public telephone booth, a stationery store, and movie posters on the wall.

[I saw it when I pulled away this cloth.

Spring has come even to the stolen fields.

Holding a lamp, I try to turn my back.

It was not in vain. I will burn splendidly.]

The fourth drawing.

The drawings of the cloth are slightly revealed at the left and right ends.

It is a point of view of taking a picture of Pepe with his back turned.

In front of Pepe, a *daljip* [a bonfire made of straw and wood during Korean traditional festivals] is burning, and a full moon is hanging above it.

Black smoke scatters over the *daljip* that burns splendidly in the black night sky.

[You who see the full moon. I hope to see a smile on your face.

Don’t be sad. I am satisfied with becoming ashes and erasing the smell.

Let’s meet again in the returned fields. Thank you.]

The song ends, and the order of the completed drawings is shown again properly.

First, second, third, fourth.

This time, Sihyuk sings the song.

He sang it so that his low voice could be heard more mournfully and earnestly.

Although it was a cute penguin drawing, Sihyuk gave it a story with that combination.

The synergy between Siha’s directorial drawings and Sihyuk’s story was demonstrated.

[The video ends here. I will not give any further explanation. Thank you for watching.]

People’s comments overflowed.

Of course, comments weren’t immediately left on the video, but this time there were many Korean viewers as well.

It was all thanks to the promotion on the [Shu] channel.

-Wow, the song was a masterpiece ㅎㄷㄷ

-I saw it because the Shu channel introduced it, but what is this ㅎㄷㄷ

-What’s with the weight of the story in that drawing styleㅋㅋㅋ

-I think that was inspired by the poem, ‘Does Spring Come to the Stolen Fields?’

Everyone was chilled by the simple drawings, the storytelling direction, and the song.

-When the world is deceived. ㅎㄷㄷ Does that feel like they’re saying the colony is being governed well? From the first verse, wow…

-Birds without faces… RIP…

-The fact that they directed it with a mask is even more chilling…

-But is a penguin a bird?

-There’s someone saying thatㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Foreigners were also reacting enthusiastically, as they could roughly guess the story from the lyrics subtitles.

-Wow, this is crazy! SihaPepe!!

-Today’s form is really crazy!

-Your voice is so goodㅠㅠ

-SihaPepe has it all. Even good at singing…

Of course, it wasn’t Siha who sang it, but Sihyuk.

Strictly speaking, it was Pepe who sang it in SihaPepe.

-I wonder if he’s ugly?

-ㅋㅋㅋI think he’s handsome

-I hope he’s handsome!

-He’s probably ugly. Anyway, he’s probably ugly!

As always, the interpreter left a long comment.

-I really have nothing to say about this. First, it seems like ‘someone’ without certainty is fighting for the country…. He lifted the cloth and saw the future. And he became certain.

To willingly entrust himself to the burning flames.

I can feel his conviction. It’s really cool.

I found out that that’s called a *daljip*, and it’s a ritual to chase away bad energy and purify it.

I wonder what you guys will purify?

You who see the full moon… This lyric must be talking about modern people who have regained their land.

And ashes are also used to erase smells.

I wonder if the nameless birds who fought to reclaim the country were reincarnated in modern times?

I really hope I can see them again.

Wow! Really SihaPepe!

I think you put a lot of thought into the direction when you uploaded this video!

You can’t leave out either the song or the drawing!

Sihyuk thought after seeing this long comment.

It’s pretty normal today? Like…

***

Why do I feel so good?

This is a channel made for Siha, but the reactions feel very fresh, perhaps because the sentences I wrote became lyrics.

I think I’ve tasted the real taste of YouTube.

Is this why once you fall into being a YouTuber, you flounder?

I feel like I understand the people who stream.

It’s nice when people react favorably to my words, and I feel depressed when bad comments are left.

When being happy and sad becomes a daily routine, it becomes a burden.

Oh? Come to think of it, that’s not good?

Let’s get a grip. If you get caught up in the emotions of the moment, you’ll make foolish choices.

“Siha, the video is getting a great response today.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I think they like it even more because the song is out.”

“Then should I upload Siha’s song?”

That doesn’t seem to fit the story?

To do that, wouldn’t I have to draw Pepe eating rice cake soup?

“I’ll upload it next time if there’s a drawing that matches Siha’s voice.”

“Ah. Upload Siha. Upload.”

Hello, this is SihaPepe. Today, I tried singing the rice cake soup song in a baby voice.

Should I advertise it like this? Wouldn’t people be very curious?

Is this really SihaPepe’s voice? It’s not even a beautiful voice, so how can he make that kind of voice? Did he touch a machine?

I think reactions like that would come out.

“Hyung.”

“Yeah? Why? Is there anything else you want? Hyung will do everything for you.”

“I wanna do dis.”

Siha held out a small box.

I wondered what it was, but it was a Tamagotchi [a handheld digital pet] he received from the folk village.

“Do you know what this is?”

“Game. Game.”

“You realized it’s a game?! You’re a genius?!

He can’t even read, but he’s inferring from the picture on the box. Siha is definitely a genius.

Maybe he’s the real-life Sherlock Holmes.

Later on, incidents happen everywhere he goes, and he becomes a high school detective.

No… that’s not good. Cancel what I imagined.

“Do you want to try this?”

“Is it fun?”

“Hmm. I don’t know? I think it depends on Siha’s taste?”

Games are surprisingly a matter of taste.

In fact, once you play these classic raising games, you get hooked for a while.

“I’ll try it first.”

I opened the box and turned on the Tamagotchi.

Fortunately, it turned on right away because there were batteries inside.

50%

Looking at the battery level, I thought it would be good to buy batteries in advance.

“Here you go.”

“Moya moya moyam.”

“Isn’t that what you use to warm up your voice? Aren’t you curious about what the character is?”

“Dis?”

Siha pointed to the picture on the box.

“Unfortunately, no. The answer is!”

I handed the Tamagotchi to Siha.

“Ah?”

“Hehe. It was an egg.”

“Egg. It’s an egg.”

“If you fry it, the game will end?”

“No. No fry.”

Siha crossed his arms as if absolutely not.

I think it would be too sad of an ending if you raised it like that.

“Now, let’s raise the egg diligently and make a baby be born.”

“How?”

“You have to give it food. Food.”

“Food?”

“Yeah. There’s something to press here, right? You use this to do it. Feeding it.”

“Food.”

I taught Siha how to press it diligently.

Instead of Korean letters, it was made with a picture of meat, so Siha could easily operate it.

“Dis?”

“Yeah.”

Siha clicked on the food.

The egg eats meat diligently. I don’t know how it can do that, but is it a game allowance?

“Hyung. Egg eating meat.”

“That’s right. That’s amazing.”

“If egg eat meat, born?”

“Yeah. It’s born?”

It’s not like a chicken hatching an egg, but it’s born when it eats meat.

It’s a very strange thing.

Beep beep. Beep beep. The egg broke on the Tamagotchi, and a chick was born.

“Hyung. Peep!”

“Wasn’t the name Egg a while ago?”

“No. Peep.”

“I see.”

Like a certain cartoon, the name changes when it evolves.

Egg evolves~ Peep!

“Hyung. Sound! Sound!”

“This is originally a sound.”

“Poop. Poop! It’s poop!”

Looking at it, it was real poop.

Siha was excited about the poop. Are you going to spread the news all over the neighborhood?

“You have to clean this up. Let’s clean up Siha’s poop.”

“Clean poop?”

“Yeah.”

Siha operates it diligently.

I saw a toilet bowl shape, and when I clicked it, the poop was cleaned up.

To make it so convenient with pictures instead of letters.

I don’t think it’s originally like this?

“Hyung. Introduce friend!”

“Huh?”

Siha ran to the fish tank and stuck the Tamagotchi to it.

So that the fish can see it very well.

Contrary to that intention, the fish were surprised and swam away.

“Ilpi. Ipi. Pipi. Shy?”

That’s not it. They were scared and ran away?

It’s natural to be surprised when you hold out something big.

But our Siha continues to introduce without paying attention.

“This is Peep. Peep. Peep. Now friend. Friend. Say hello.”

The fish are busy going the other way.

Siha saw that and turned his attention to the shrimp.

“Twigim. Peep. Say hello.”

Twigim… no, the shrimp didn’t seem to react much.

It slowly approached Peep and gently lowered its head.

It looks like it’s really saying hello?

“Hello. Peep. Good at pooping.”

If you say that, it sounds like a chick that only poops at home as an advantage.

There’s no reason to raise it!

You have to introduce cute or those advantages.

“Hyung. Fish poop many!”

“Ah, that’s right.”

It was time to change the water and clean it.

Because the water becomes cloudy because of the scattering poop. I had to change it once in a while.

I had to clean it too.

“I think there’s water that I’ve put out…”

I went to the bathroom.

There was something I had put out in advance to change the water.

This is really a job too.

“Siha, shall we clean up a bit?”

“Ah! Peep clean too!”

Looking at it, there really was a cleaning function.

When Siha clicked it, he swept the ground diligently with a broom.

This kid is really weird.

What he does is clean up poop and clean…

Was this originally a chick’s advantage?

“Then shall we clean together today?”

“Ah.”

“First, let’s move these guys here in a bucket…”

I caught the fish and shrimp with a net and moved them.

“Siha do?”

“No. Siha, can you put a little bit of the water in this fish tank back there?”

“Why?”

“It’s good to mix a little.”

Siha scooped the water from the fish tank with a small bucket.

In fact, I scooped a little water yesterday, but it’s important for Siha to try it.

“Okay! Now let’s throw away the rest.”

“Ah!”

I threw away the water in the fish tank.

I turned on the tap and scrubbed the stones and threw them away again.

I’m glad the fish tank is small. How much hard labor would it have been if it was big?

“Hyung. Smell.”

“It’s because it smells like fish poop.”

“Ilpi, Ipi, Pipi. Poop many?”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

“Buy toilet for fish tank? Then clean?”

It seems that he is arguing that a toilet should be prepared separately in the fish tank.

It would be nice if the fish were smart and pooped in the toilet and flushed the water, but they don’t have the intelligence to do that.

“The fish don’t know how to use the toilet. Siha also wore diapers when you were younger than now, right?”

Siha nodded as if he understood.

“Hyung. Then buy diaper?”

I don’t know why that’s the conclusion.

Siha, you haven’t changed diapers, have you? How annoying is that?

It’s much better to clean it like this once in a while.

Thinking about it that way, cleaning like this might not be bad?

Everything is relative.

Beep beep.

Siha heard the sound from the Tamagotchi, jumped up and checked it.

“Hyung. Poop!”

Why does that Peep always poop?

I’m confused because it seems like all we’re talking about is poop today.
