Chapter 36 - Cheating Day Chapter 36
To stand up
“That’s not what it means!”
“What do you mean by ‘what’s different’?”
Emotions are important.
She shouted as if to release the resentment that had been suppressed for many years.
“I just like you!” Exploding here and getting hit there. What on earth did our common people do to deserve such persecution?
“No.”
“Even though it clearly has the name mint chocolate, it not only has the stigma of toothpaste but also has to deal with that!” When the same green tea, which is just a type of grass, is used in lattes, ice cream, and roll cakes, it receives all kinds of love! “Why does poor mint chocolate have to be persecuted?”
Baek Woo-jin smacks his lips.
Mint chocolate is no different from us. You who oppress and discriminate against these common people are a traitor to the nation, no! I’m a mint chocolate chip hater!
Eugene messed up.
Do you know the sorrow of Mincho?
Mint chocolate is the best
Yeah, but I’m still not eating~
Hang in there.
Crazy lololololol, did you really take drugs lololol
You’re connecting it like this, lol
Before long, the opinions of the viewers, who have now surpassed 7,000, have finally begun to diverge.
“Mint chocolate… mint chocolate?”
Baek Woo-jin muttered incomprehensible words with a bewildered expression.
“I will end the discussion here.” For the next 5 minutes, you can choose between vanilla and mint chocolate.
I opened the voting window.
1 was mint chocolate, 2 was vanilla, so at least let’s start the voting, and soon after, the votes poured in.
“Mint chocolate…”
“How long are you going to keep that up?” “Get a grip.”
“Mint chocolate?”
As he looked at the voting window where the results were reflected in real-time, Baek Woo-jin’s eyes changed.
Despite all the lies and propaganda I could muster, vanilla and mint chocolate were neck and neck in the vote count.
Isn’t it vote manipulation?
Does it make sense to mix vanilla with mint chocolate?
No way, lol. Is it really mixed like this?
Mint chocolate!
The early fans are everywhere.
Honestly, I have to side with the mint chocolate lovers on this one.
“Everyone!” The dirty work I had to do at the company and the absurdities I experienced in society. All of that is oppression against the people!
“No!” No! Mincho is not Mincho! Mint chocolate is chocolate!
“Chocolate, you say!” Are you planning to betray Kakao again?
“Don’t do that!”
“저! Mint Choco independence activist Banchan-yong, who has been striving to reclaim the sovereignty of Mint Choco! “We earnestly and fervently cry out that you will show the power of the common people!”
It seems that the last cry, uttered with a heart that felt like it was bleeding, reached its destination.
The point at which the voting is completed.
Mint chocolate received 3,213 votes, defeating vanilla, which garnered 3,098 votes, and finally regained its sovereignty.
“Ahhhhh!”
Baek Woo-jin grabbed his hair and screamed.

After finishing the first part of Thursday’s broadcast, “Debate on White Food: Mint Chocolate vs Vanilla,” I took a moment to catch my breath.
When we have discussions, we temporarily disable super chats to avoid affecting the flow of the broadcast, and we often use this time to receive donations.
Watching the super chats pouring in one after another, I can’t think straight.
└[JustJust has donated 10,000 won]: Is your diabetes a bit better now?
“Just just, thank you.” The blood sugar has gone down quite a bit. I’m going to the hospital tomorrow morning, and I plan to check my HbA1c then. Thank you for your concern.
Actually, I was supposed to go last week, but the broadcast schedule got tight, and I ended up missing it.
The medicine is almost gone, so I must stop by tomorrow.
“Come to think of it, were you okay on Saturday?”
Baek Woo-jin, who was in shock from the four consecutive defeats, asked.
When I gave him the chocolate I had kept for when he had low blood sugar, he quickly regained his senses.
“I felt a bit dizzy, but as I walked, I started to feel better.” As soon as I got home, my blood sugar was around 140.
Even though I indulged in a full-course meal and devoured jjajangmyeon, my blood sugar didn’t spike significantly.
Since I felt dizzy, my blood sugar must have definitely gone up, but thanks to walking for over two hours, there were no unusual symptoms.
“Did you really walk?”
“Giving up halfway.” Wow, it’s so cold and tough, I can’t stand it. Oh, Belly Fairy, thank you for the 5,000 won.
For a while, even the support and words disappeared.
I’m exhausted.
The Baekban debate is definitely good content, but the problem is that it leaves you drained after just one session.
Time is needed until recovery.
“What should we do next week?”
Baek Woo-jin just happened to bring up a good topic for conversation.
When you do broadcasts for a long time, there are times when the conversation gets interrupted like this, but seeing them bring up an appropriate topic each time, they truly are a million-subscriber YouTuber.
“Well.”
Pizza vs Chicken
Kimchi stew vs Doenjang stew
Flounder vs Rockfish
Let’s go with “bubmeok” vs “jjikmeok”
Pineapple Pizza Debate
How about pineapple pizza?
Baek Woo-jin read a chat message.
Pineapple pizza is as controversial and talkative a topic as mint chocolate.
“It’s good, but…” Which side are you on?
“I think it’s delicious.”
“Me too.”
You think pineapple pizza is delicious?
This is going to cause some controversy.
Foodie
Mr. Diabetes, you didn’t know anything about taste?
The viewers are furious.
I knew that many people disliked pineapple pizza, but this reaction is unexpected.
“But there is a part where pineapple pizza gets a bit of unfair treatment.” It’s just sweet and delicious.
“That’s right.” There may be differences in taste, but it’s not something you can’t eat.
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes sparkled.
“Ah, they call pineapple pizza Hawaiian pizza, but actually, it was made by a Canadian.”
It seems like another story you want to explain has come to mind.
If you just throw something out there, they’ll start talking on their own, so it’s really easy to broadcast together.
It’s only been four weeks since we started discussing the whiteboard together, but now that I’ve worked directly with him, I can see why so many people want Baek Woo-jin.
They are a master at stretching out content.
The Ugenius videos, especially the editing, take a long time, so I wish they would cut down on the talking.
Being in a position to broadcast together, I couldn’t feel more reassured.
“…….”
In the end, I’m the one editing it, so why was I relieved?
“There was a German dish with toast and pineapple, and I got inspired by it to make this.”
“Are you saying that a Canadian made a Hawaiian-style pizza after seeing German cuisine?”
“Yeah.”
Confusing.
“But the funny thing is, when the Hawaiian pizza debate was in full swing, sales skyrocketed.”
“Did it sell well?”
In the midst of the fierce fighting, I was puzzled and asked back, “How come sales actually increased?”
According to Grubhub’s Food of the Year report for 2020, 30 million people ordered Hawaiian pizza from January to November. Sales increased by 689% compared to 2019.1)
“I thought foreigners didn’t like pineapple pizza.”
“Italians are particularly so, but actually, if you know the history of pizza, it’s a misguided approach.”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes widened.
“I want to talk about pizza.”
“Then.” “Do you want to do it next week?”
He/she doesn’t readily answer.
It seemed like they were hesitating, so I waited, and then they tilted their head and spoke.
It seems like we should schedule about 8 hours a week. There’s a lot to prepare.
“What?”
“Pizza story.”
“What?”
“I’m fine.” “Do you think I can’t do it?”
I wonder if this person is in their right mind.
As for me, all I know about pizza is that Domino’s Pepperoni and Potato, and Popeyes’ Jones Favorite and Chicken Ranch are delicious.
If we’re talking about pizza, most of the time, Baek Woo-jin has to do all the talking.
“Isn’t this something you should be asking someone else?” Are you saying it’s for 8 hours? “A whole week?”
“Honestly, I want to teach a year-long course.” Pizza is really fun, you know.
The fun he talks about is completely different from what ordinary people think is fun.
Ugenius videos are usually over 30 minutes long, and the longer ones are uploaded in full, lasting 3 to 4 hours.
Nevertheless, the video viewing time is excessively long.
It’s because they left it on.
Half of Ugenius’s subscribers listen to the content, while the other half consider it more like sleep music or ASMR.
If it’s at a genius level, maybe.
If I did a broadcast like that on my channel, the view time would be dismal.
“How about doing that on your channel?”
“Don’t you want to do it?”
“Because it’s too long.” If you’re going to put that much effort into it, it makes sense to do it on your channel. You’re going to explain almost everything.
Baek Woo-jin pondered for a moment and then nodded.
“Okay.”
“Everyone, did you hear that?” Next Thursday, I’ll be on Genius.
Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
Friday.
I visited the hospital after 5-6 weeks.
After consulting with the doctor and having my blood drawn to check the HbA1c levels, I returned to the consultation room.
“You’ve improved a lot.”
The doctor delivered the good news.
“Initially, my HbA1c was 10.9%, but now it is 8.6%.”2)
For saying that it has improved a lot, it’s still high.
The normal range is 4.0~6.0%, so I have a long way to go.
“It hasn’t improved that much.”
The doctor smiled slightly.
“Glycated hemoglobin is the average blood sugar level over three months.” You’ve been taking care of it for about 6 weeks now, so it will be quite different by the next time you come. Are you exercising?
“I’m working hard.”
“It’s nice.” “Just keep doing it like you are now, and how’s the eating going?”
“I’m dying.” Whenever I eat something wrong, my blood sugar spikes, so I end up walking right after meals.
“It’s a good habit.” Just walking for 30 minutes after a meal really has a huge effect. You’re doing well. How would you like your medicine prepared? “Like last time, a month?”
Please do it that way.
I received the prescription and left the hospital.
It hasn’t improved as much as I hoped, but hearing that it’s okay to keep going like this gives me another boost of energy.
I’m proud of myself for working hard for six weeks.
Even though I ate jjajangmyeon like that again, I found hope in the fact that the trend is good.
“…….”
Then, how about we eat something delicious today?
Actually, yesterday we discussed ‘Mint Chocolate vs Vanilla’ as the topic for our dinner debate, and in the second part, we talked about where ice cream developed and how it has evolved.
As a result, today has become a day for eating ice cream.
We decided to eat the food we dealt with on Thursday on Friday.
I’m a bit scared to eat ice cream, but actually, I was fine after eating jjajangmyeon, so I wonder if eating a little ice cream would make things worse.
“No.”
I shook my head.
I had been strictly avoiding foods with sugar, but ever since I ate jajangmyeon, I’ve been craving sweet foods constantly.
It would have been better if I had just kept not eating.
I keep thinking about the delicious food I had; it’s such a problem.
“They will understand.”
My viewers usually tease and roast me, but when it comes to this kind of thing, they take care of me more than anyone else.
If you say you can’t eat ice cream because of your blood sugar, “You want to eat it, right?” I want to eat it, but I can’t, right? They might tease me, but they are not the kind of people who wouldn’t understand.
“……Ah.” I’m going crazy.
Today, I keep thinking about the dessert bar in Gangnam that I used to visit with Baek Woo-jin.
