Chapter 19 - Cheating Day Chapter 19
Side dish store
“Oh dear.” Oh dear.
December 25th, Christmas, was as quiet as any other day, but my body aches differently than in previous years.
I ended up doing 100 lunges on both legs yesterday.
It was my first time doing the exercise, and it felt much harder than squats because I had trouble maintaining my balance.
I can’t forget Chajichan’s malicious voice, laughing and saying that there’s no better exercise for improving body balance.
“Ugh.”
I came home yesterday and fell asleep right away, so I have a video left to edit.
I need to upload it to YouTube, so I have to hurry, but I couldn’t even prepare for today’s broadcast.
I need to eat breakfast, but even the time it takes to set and clear the table feels like a waste.
Should we order delivery?
For a moment, I had such thoughts, but then I shook my head.
Because I promised to cook for myself unless it’s a cheat day or for broadcast content.
There’s not much time left, so I want to get up quickly, but my legs won’t cooperate.
Crawling slowly, I opened the freezer door and saw the frozen chicken breasts.
Just a month ago, the space that was filled with Kentucky hot dogs, Kyuijin seasoned potatoes, hometown dumplings, and Yonggari chicken, overflowing with warmth, is now nothing short of an eyesore.
Today, I absolutely didn’t want to eat chicken breast, so I took out six eggs from the refrigerator.
Fill a pot with water and boil the eggs.
After taking out the young radish kimchi I bought at the supermarket and the side dishes my mother sent, I heated up the multigrain rice.
Looking at the prepared meal makes me feel a bit down, but I think to myself, at least I can finish a bowl of rice.
The greens my mother sent are delicious, and the young radish kimchi from the store is refreshing too. Eggs are always right.
If you think about it, it’s not a bad breakfast.
I turned on my phone and accessed YouTube.
While scrolling down to find something worth watching, I came across a video I edited not long ago.
It’s a porter channel.
It’s a video where Cha Ji-chan shows how to exercise in daily life.
I gathered several short skit videos, such as suddenly grabbing a streetlight while walking and lifting your legs to maintain a right angle, or pretending to sit on a chair and then holding your position when someone quickly pulls the chair away.
It was uploaded two days ago, and it has already surpassed 1.3 million views.
“It’s okay to post a video worth putting on Shorts.”
Although the Jimkun channel’s videos originally received good views, recently they have been gaining popularity with this kind of video.
Even if the video is between 5 to 15 minutes long, it seems that showing several short key scenes instead of a continuous story ensures viewer retention.
Also, by cutting out various concepts used in this video and posting them as shorts, it’s a win-win.
However, this method is extremely resource-intensive.
It’s a method that can only be handled by large channels with multiple planners like Chajichan.

“This isn’t the time for this.”
We need to decide what to talk about on today’s broadcast right away.
I do have the things I prepared yesterday, but it’s not something to talk about at length.
I logged into the side dish store management page, pondering what to do.
Side dish store
@banchan2
120,100 subscribers
I still can’t believe it.
In fact, the number of subscribers itself doesn’t directly impact income, but gaining more than 30,000 in just one month is certainly an achievement.
When I first started the side dish store, I couldn’t exceed 3,000 subscribers in a year.
Even though I started with the know-how gained from already managing Jimkkun, Ugenius, and the Diamond Sutra, it wasn’t easy to gain subscribers.
It was a good thing that I started it thinking of it as both a hobby and study; otherwise, I would have given up several times along the way.
For about a year, instead of focusing on immediate results, I’ve been pondering how to create more entertaining videos and trying various things.
A video of eating two medium-sized pizzas and one chicken seemed to have been chosen by the YouTube algorithm god, achieving 200,000 views, and since then, subscribers have steadily increased.
And now, for the entire month of December, I am receiving attention like I have never experienced in my life.
There are deviations and exceptions, but generally, the side dish store videos have view counts ranging from 10,000 to 30,000.
Recently, the view count has skyrocketed, and among the videos uploaded this month, seven have surpassed 100,000 views.
Especially, the mukbang video with Cha Ji-chan, which I didn’t even expect, is currently recording 710,000 views.
Some of the viewers who came through that video subscribed, and even those who didn’t helped increase the total view count significantly by watching past videos.
Naturally, the number of comments increased, with many people mocking, laughing, worrying, and cheering.
I’m still a bit dazed, and at the same time, I’m looking forward to January 3rd of next year.
On the 3rd of every month, the estimated income from the previous month is displayed on the payment page, and since there is a significant difference in views between November and December, I am secretly hopeful.
“When the water comes in, you have to row.”
I quickly glanced at the things I had prepared for today and hurriedly sat down in front of the computer.
I need to handle the outsourcing before the broadcast time.
Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
As soon as I finished editing, I started the broadcast without even catching my breath.
While preparing for the broadcast, I turned on the BGM and took a moment to drink some water, but I noticed the dishes I used for breakfast and lunch, so I put them in the dishwasher and ran it.
Dragging my uncooperative leg and sitting in front of the computer, I see that the viewers who have already logged in are playing among themselves.
“……700 people?”
I was surprised by the number of people in the chat room.
It’s the first time that 700 people have gathered, even though it’s not a collaboration with Joo Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, or Baek Woo-jin.
That was only about 5 minutes after starting the broadcast.
Why are there so many people?

Open the door!
Hello, sir
No, my little side dish shop is getting bigger.
└Looks like he was surprised too, haha.
I just finished reading the Heart Sutra.
Merry Christmas
I haven’t even had a chance to wear the clothes I prepared, so I said it while waiting on the screen.
“Why did so many people come in?” It’s Christmas, you know. “Does everyone have no plans?”
Why did you hit me?
Is it?
You’re welcome.
If you have plans on Christmas, would you watch the uncle’s cooking show?
No way, lol. Even if you come in, what will you do?
“I’m just happy to see you.” “I didn’t know there were so many people like me without friends on our show.”
The chat room got noisy.
It’s not as fast as Joo Ji-seung and Cha Ji-chan’s broadcasts, but it’s still overwhelming to read all the chats.
I also see usernames I’ve never seen before.
This embarrassing situation isn’t all that bad.
“Please wait a moment.” I’ll get ready.
I hurriedly changed my clothes, applied sunscreen, and then turned on the camera.
?????????
Hahaha, crazy, haha
I think I accidentally tuned into the wrong broadcast.
This is so funny, lol.
What the heck, lol
Previously, the viewers suggested that I should do a Santa cosplay, but I felt too proud to do that, so I went with a polar bear cosplay instead.
Following in the footsteps of Ju Ji-seung, who even did a Gungye cosplay.
It’s worth wearing a polar bear pajama, slathering sunscreen all over my face, and putting on a bear headband.
Everyone likes it.
Without saying a word, I took out the prepared Coke Zero and drank it, and the chat window was flooded with “kek.”
“Before we start, just so you know, anyone who posts ‘Merry Christmas’ or any Christmas-related words in the chat today will be blocked.”
What’s Christmas?
We don’t know about that.
After playing with the Heart Sutra, they got possessed so quickly
No way, lol. It’s so vintage that it’s even funnier, lol.

If you’re going to do it, do it properly. What did you put on your face? Haha.
Please don’t lose your initial passion… You’re working too hard.
“How could that be?” It’s benchmarking. Honestly, I respect Ji-seung hyung. It’s not easy to do that at that age. Moreover, that guy’s original personality is quite dignified. Did you watch the broadcast of the Heart Sutra yesterday? Did you hear that someone at the temple dressed up as Santa Claus?
That’s what a commercial YouTuber is.
Don’t imitate weird things, lol.
No way, lol. Your face looks so funny, lol.
I saw the broadcast yesterday, and you seemed really close with Baek Woo-jin.
I’ve known Woojin for a long time. I told you before, didn’t I? I helped edit the Ujini channel for a long time. Even now, it’s the same.
They say they even did a broadcast for Cha Ji-chan.
Did you edit it just so you could stick a straw in it?
The big picture
They really picked the right ones, from the Prajnaparamita Sutra to the porters and Ujini.
Did you really want to grow the broadcast like that?
Honestly, how much do you pay for a booking?
Diabetes uncle connections
“Ah, seriously.” “Don’t call me the diabetes uncle.”
I saw an annoying comment during the chat.
“Just call me the diabetes sibling.” If you look closely at these guys, they always try to lie about their age.
hahahahahahahahahaha
Haha, I can admit to diabetes, but I can’t admit to being an old man, haha.
Considering the age, he’s definitely my younger brother, haha.
Honestly, even though I’m older, I don’t feel like a younger sibling at all.
“It’s fine if you call me ‘uncle’ because you’re actually younger than me, but I’m keeping an eye on those who obviously are older than me but still call me ‘uncle.'” Don’t call me “mister.”
So what do I say?
Mr. Chanyong~
Crazy Chanyong, what the heck
I’m getting goosebumps, lol.
They are truly shameless people.
Uh……. Anyway, I haven’t decided what to do today. Yesterday, I was almost dead because of Ji-chan.
A question about whether something happened with Cha Ji-chan was raised.
“Yesterday, I went to the gym and worked out, and today, it’s a miracle that I can walk around.” It was really crazy.
Oh, I didn’t see that.
Did you watch that fun thing by yourself?
hahahahahahah
So, what are we doing today?

Let’s do the World Cup.
└I passed 100,000, but aren’t we doing something like a Q&A?
Right?
As the number of subscribers has suddenly increased, there will be many people who don’t know me well.
I was already planning to give a small gift to my subscribers to celebrate reaching 100,000 subscribers, so it seems like a good idea to do it while posting a Q&A video.
“Then let’s just talk today.” What are you curious about?
How many kilos are you now?
Please do mukbangs more often.
I can’t eat it because I have diabetes.
Have you really never kissed before?
What color is your underwear?
Why are you curious about the crazy panty for side dishes?
Aren’t you tired?
Did you poop today?
“It was my fault for asking.”
It’s your fault.
Ah, so how many kilos is it now? lol
