Cheat day

Look at that sound.

I’m going crazy.

I want to eat chicken too.

I’m going crazy, I just had dinner.

Do your broadcasts consistently.

I put the rice in the microwave and when I came back, there were several messages in the chat window.

Among them, complaints about the broadcast schedule caught my eye.

“I was planning to do broadcasts more often starting next year anyway.” I’m going to go full-time.

Come to think of it, it’s almost 100,000.

Do you make a lot of money?

What did you originally do?

“Didn’t I mention it?” I edit videos. I’m getting freelance work from all over, and there’s so much to do. I also want to stream often, but it’s tough until I can do it full-time.

When you think of freelancing, it’s easy to imagine working when you want to and resting when you want to, but that’s not actually the case.

Due to the anxiety of not knowing when work might stop, I make sure to handle incoming tasks even if it means overexerting myself.

Oh, so that’s why the video was so neat.

Where are you editing the channel?

Is your current income okay?

“It’s tough right now.” If we only consider YouTube, 1.2 million won a month? I earn a little more than 1 million won.

The viewers are worried.

“It’s okay.” I’ve saved up a lot of money. It’s not like I’m jumping in without thinking.

I witnessed firsthand how hard countless YouTubers worked and how much they struggled.

There are countless people who can’t even gather 1,000 subscribers, and even if they barely manage to gather 100,000 subscribers, they soon see no views and end up closing their channels.

Even large channels with over a million subscribers can be forgotten in an instant, so the YouTube ecosystem is an environment where just surviving is a challenge.

“Hmm.”

Taking a big spoonful of white rice and tearing into the chicken makes my heart feel abundant.

Thanks to the grace of the sun, the rice grains conceived and the chickens that used to catch and eat insects in the fields have such a heartwarming reunion in my mouth, and I can only be overwhelmed with emotion.

“Chicken goes with rice, you know?”

You sure do eat well.

Stop eating already;;

It seems like this is the only place that tells mukbang people to eat moderately.

“My point exactly.” No, didn’t you come in to watch me eat? Why do you keep telling me not to eat? I’m telling you, I’m healthy!

I don’t understand why these people have to be such a nuisance and ruin my appetite.

They said the health check-up results came out.

Just tell me after you see it.

If there are no issues with the results, I won’t stop.

“Is it real?” If I say there’s no problem here, then they won’t complain about the food anymore.

I held up the booklet and showed it to people.

“Look.” The date of the examination here is November 20, 2022, name Banchan Yong. 33 years old. That’s me, right?

How can a person’s name be used for side dishes? lol

Was Banchan-yong’s real name?

hahaha

Where’s the food?

“My mom gave me this name.”

Pretending to be serious, the viewers fuss and apologize.

I’m sorry.

No wonder it sounded good.

I thought it was a stage name because it’s so cool~

Since we’ve been together for almost two years now, I can somewhat predict their reactions.

The change in attitude is quick as expected.

I like a relationship where we can comfortably laugh and chat like this.

“Anyway, I’ll take a look.” I haven’t watched it yet either because I was planning to watch it together with you…”

The first page I opened without thinking contained information that shouldn’t have been shown.

It’s height and weight.

138kg?????

Crazy, lol.

Oh, you’re tall. 184 cm?

Hey, eat in moderation!

Wow, I can’t believe it. I’ve never seen numbers like that before. Is the person’s weight correct?

“Ah, not now.” 138 kg, no way.

When I had my health check-up, the nurse told me I weighed 138 kg, but since I’ve been careful for the past two weeks, I don’t think I’ll weigh 138 kg.

“I’ve been constantly worrying about my weight.” It can’t be this bad, right? Show me?

Even while bringing the scale and adjusting the camera angle, the chat window was still flooded with “kek.”

This guy always shows up, haha.

If I had gained more weight, I would have, not lost it. You said you had samgyeopsal with your friends yesterday too.

You ate samgyeopsal yesterday and two chickens today, and you expect to lose weight? Conscience?

They’re setting this up for a broadcast. You’re trying to show off that you lifted 140 kg, right?

What kind of confidence is that to show off like that?ㅋㅋ

Anuncios

LOL

“Wait a minute!” I’m really upset, you know? I haven’t eaten breakfast for a week!

I felt so wronged that I immediately stepped on the scale.

Taking a deep breath and tightening my stomach, the viewers start laughing again.

hahahahahahahaha

Will that really help you lose weight?

Uncle, holding your breath and sucking in your stomach won’t make you lose weight, lol.

This is so freaking funny lol idiot lol

“Am I an idiot?” If you just stay there, you won’t be seen! I can’t see the numbers on the scale! You should be looking at your weight, right?

LOL

Ah, hahaha, right, hahaha.

I never even imagined itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

LOL, I can’t see my weight because of my belly fat, LOL.

Crazy lolololololol

No way, lol. How do you make the scale numbers not show up, lol?

“Look!” It’s 133 kg! I told you so! I take care of my body in my own way, you know?

I lifted the scale and showed it.

I thought everyone would have nothing to say since I showed that I’ve been watching my weight for a week, but the reaction is strange.

Did you lose 5 kg in just a week?

Hey, are you sick or something?

Yeah, I fell too much.

How can you lose 5 kg when you eat like that? Is there really something wrong?

“What’s the problem?” I told you. I said I didn’t eat breakfast. You should be able to handle this much.

The moment I turned the page of the health check-up report, thinking I was worrying too much, both I and the chat window froze.

I couldn’t believe it, so I slowly turned my head, and just then, a chat popped up.

Uncle, do you have diabetes?

I didn’t see it wrong.

I have diabetes.

An event I had never imagined before has suddenly arrived.

At this crucial time, with 100,000 subscribers just around the corner.

“Does this make sense?”

If I become a full-time YouTuber, I decided that I should at least achieve 100,000 subscribers before starting.

If I can’t do mukbangs anymore, what will happen to me in the future?

What should I do?

└I guess I should go to the hospital first tomorrow.

Anuncios

└Haven’t you been feeling off lately?

A viewer recently asked about my health condition.

“I’m just often tired.” “I was really thirsty.”

└Ah;;

└That’s a symptom of diabetes. Next, please.

No matter how much water I drink, I’m still thirsty. It’s diabetes.

My uncle collapsed from diabetes, and the complications are really scary.

Mister…

The chat window, which had been almost entirely filled with “kek,” was now filled with posts devoid of any humor.

Everyone was worried about me, but nothing registered.

Banchan Store is an eating show channel.

Although not as much as a food fighter-level YouTuber, I have grown so far with the concept of eating a lot of spicy food.

For someone like me, diabetes is more deadly than any other disease.

“…….”

The channel has an identity.

Most of the people who visited the side dish store came after searching for mukbangs or food names.

You usually end up eating the food you want to eat deliciously or finding a YouTuber that matches your taste.

If I suddenly stop doing mukbangs, in other words, if I can’t upload the videos they want, there’s a possibility they might leave.

“No.”

How could I let a channel that I’ve built up like this collapse?

I can’t let the only hobby I have left and my connection to the world disappear.

You must have really been shocked.

That makes sense. I’m only 34 years old.

You should really take better care of yourself.

How can you say something like that in this situation?

There’s always that one guy who blames everyone else. I can’t even offer comfort.

It’s just that it’s so unfortunate.

Does it make sense to hurt someone who’s already in pain just because you’re feeling bad?

In the midst of the confusion in my mind, the viewers started to fight.

Small-scale broadcasts inevitably have a significant impact if viewers start fighting among themselves.

They might not join my broadcast to avoid seeing each other.

Even without that, I’m already at a loss about how to manage the channel, what direction to take with future content, and how to live moving forward. I can’t let viewers leave too.

Even if I give up everything else, I can’t lose the side dish store.

He said as he put down the booklet.

“Actually, it’s better.”

Anuncios

Suppressing the overwhelming emotions and forcing a smile, they showed the reaction the viewers had been expecting.

?????

What do you mean?

What are you talking about at a time like this?

Mister, seriously, get a grip. Diabetes is really a scary disease.

It feels like I’m losing my mind.

It’s not that I don’t understand the seriousness of the situation.

I might have to manage my diet for the rest of my life and do exercise that I hate more than anything.

You have to give up a considerable amount, no, most of the food you love.

But no matter how difficult it gets, I will protect the side dish store.

“Anyway, if I’m going to go full-time, I need to upload a lot of videos, and I need content, right?” This time, not only will I do an eating show, but I’ll also share some stories about the food and try out a cooking broadcast. Isn’t that right?

Mental

Sure, it’s good to think positively.

└Since I’m good at storytelling, it might be okay.

Are you completely giving up on mukbangs?

“Eh.” How do you fold it? You don’t have to starve yourself completely. There must be something to eat.

└It must be tasteless.

My father has diabetes, so he is really strict about managing his diet. It’s a completely healthy meal, but will it get views on YouTube?

└Today, I’m going to try some healthy sanchae bibimbap~

“Is pizza, samgyeopsal, and ramen the only food?” There are also healthy dishes, you know. 그래. Bibimbap is pretty good.

I tend to think positively, but in fact, the viewers’ opinions are not wrong.

Thumbnails have a significant impact on YouTube views.

Stimulating color combinations or generally unappetizing amounts or unusual foods are well-received.

“Also, show the process of me, who weighs 133 kg and is classified as morbidly obese, losing weight and becoming slim.” 크. Content is just coming out.

└Hahaha, I’m getting slimmer, haha

If you really take it out, I’ll give you ten thousand won.

If the uncle succeeds in his diet, I might pass the civil service exam next year.

So, are you going to start a diet show now?

“I’m willing to try anything when it comes to food.” I told you. I’ve done a lot of editing, so I’ve learned a lot just by observing.

I have been with the cooking channel “Banya Sikgyeong,” which has 570,000 subscribers, from the very beginning until now.

Even a dog at a village school can recite poetry after three years, so after editing cooking channel videos for three whole years, I should be able to cook at least.

If it were easy, everyone would be successful.

└I’m starting to settle in a bit now.

└힘내

“Then.” I’m fine, so don’t worry about me. This isn’t even a crisis. Compared to when I worked at my first company, this is nothing. 암. So, this story is over. Don’t do it.

Anuncios

Actually, I want to lean on someone a bit.

I pretend to be okay, but I feel overwhelmed about whether I can manage in the future.

However, if I whine here, I might get some sympathy for a moment, but there is no one who will stay with me through my misfortune until the end.

No one takes responsibility for me.

Above all, I don’t want the side dish store to become gloomy.

Just as I found comfort while running my side dish shop, I hope this broadcast becomes a channel that people can comfortably turn to while eating.

I can’t just lie down and do nothing.

“I told you, didn’t I?” “Actually, it’s better.”

I want to pursue various kinds of fun, not just a channel that eats a lot of spicy food.

Anyway, if I want to boost the view count, I need to shorten the upload cycle, but I thought it would be tough to do it with just mukbangs.

Perhaps now could be the turning point for the side dish shop.

No, I’m going to make it that way.

“I think the broadcast will be a bit different from now on.” Still, you know me, right? When it comes to food and cooking, I’m serious about it.

He said while looking at the chat window.

“Maybe the cooking won’t be bad either.” I edited a cooking channel for a long time, so I learned a lot by watching. Next time, I’ll do a full-on cooking show.
