Cheat day

More money

The video related to the Baek Seung-yong car lunchbox did not receive a great response.

Perhaps because it wasn’t an interesting topic, the YouTube views fell slightly short of each channel’s average.

We didn’t have high expectations either, so we didn’t pay much attention and focused on our business.

On the third day of the opening, a change occurred.

“Ujin, is it possible to do an interview with WTV News?”

We all had to stop what we were doing, dazed and confused, at the words conveyed by PD Lee Ji-hye of the Ugenius channel.

Even though I’m already busy, I seem to feel sorry for leaving my post.

Say you’re sorry and send them back. I’m busy right now, so I don’t have time for that.

“왜? Come back.

Joo Ji-seung pushed Cha Ji-chan.

“Eh.” “Done.”

“There’s still some of what we prepared left, right?” I can hold out for 30 minutes, you know? Woojin also went and came back.

“Who is going to do the math?”

“I’ll do it.”

Producer Lee Ji-hye stood at the checkout counter.

“They want to do it inside the store, not outside.” I think we can do it at our break table.

Cha Ji-chan and Baek Woo-jin felt somewhat relieved by PD Ahn Sang-kyu’s words.

Since I don’t go far, I can help with the work right away if needed.

“Then you go first, hyung.”

Baek Woo-jin said to Cha Ji-chan.

“Yeah, whatever.” It’s not going to take long.

Cha Ji-chan nodded while looking at PD Ahn Sang-kyu.

PD Ahn Sang-kyu, who stepped outside, came in with the reporter, exchanged light greetings, and immediately started the interview.

“That’s amazing.” Right?

Flipping the smoked duck, I asked the aged kimchi.

“Is that so?”

“Of course.” A person I know is all over the news.

“Representative, you have work to do as well.”

“Yes?”

“Yesterday, I received a call from NBC.” “I wrote it down in the work log, but you didn’t check it?”

After finishing the business, I immediately did a personal broadcast, and as soon as I was about to collapse from exhaustion, I had to get up and prepare the ingredients.

I couldn’t check it in time.

“I didn’t see it.”

“We are scheduled to visit in an hour.”

“But why?”

“It seems to be a planned report where famous YouTubers come together to sell affordable lunch boxes in this era of high prices.” I suspect that Ju Ji-seung’s agency, Tomato Entertainment, might have exerted some influence.

I saw a monk frying an egg.

It seems that Choi Michael approached and said something, so it looks like a request for an interview was probably sent to Ju Ji-seung as well.

“Two days ago, articles were published in several newspapers.” I also distributed the press release to people I know, and since Tomato, Eugenie, and Jimkun all took action, and it’s been mentioned a lot in newspaper articles and communities, it seems like the broadcasting station is showing interest as well.

Since it’s something that YouTubers with a total of 5.2 million subscribers do, it is indeed worth paying attention to.

“Even if it’s news, it will be covered briefly, focusing on lifestyle and culture.” You don’t have to feel burdened.

“The situation is getting bigger than I expected.”

It’s a bit overwhelming.

“On the first day of the opening, Mr. Baek Woo-jin said something on his personal broadcast.”

“What did you say?”

It is said that those who willingly accept someone’s kindness, attention, or compensation can give more. A good result will follow.

-In front of a building in Yeouido. Office workers are lined up for lunch.

– (Why are you in line?)I’m waiting to buy a lunchbox.

Era of high prices. The average lunch cost for office workers in Seoul has been reported to be 12,285 won, and a group of young people is drawing attention by selling so-called cost-effective lunch boxes.

– (What was the reason you were looking for it?)싸서? These days, a single gimbap costs 4,000 won, so this is a total bargain.

-(What was the reason you were looking for it?)Convenience store lunch boxes have almost no vegetables, but they say the nutritional balance here is good.

The young internet-famous creators who run this bento shop are discussing a new perspective on dieting.

-[For influencer side dishes] I also find it quite challenging from a dieting perspective. Eating a healthy diet while working costs too much money, time, and effort.

-[Influencer Baek Woo-jin] I saw a news report about college students, even new employees and office workers, saving on food expenses by having triangle kimbap for lunch. I thought it would be nice if it could be of some help.

-[Influencer Cha Ji-chan] Eating is more important than exercising. The nutritional balance needs to be right, but if you only eat food from restaurants or convenience stores, it’s easy to get out of balance.

-[Influencer Joo Ji-seung] It breaks my heart to see someone having to make do with just a triangle kimbap for a meal. Thinking about the past. If it were up to me, I would like to give you a better price.

They announced that they plan to sell healthy lunch boxes at affordable prices to university students and young professionals who are relatively financially constrained, while also providing free lunch boxes to vulnerable groups. The sight of young people, like a refreshing rain in the harsh reality, is beautiful. This was WTV’s Lee Yuri.

The Baek Seung-yong car was reported on the 8 o’clock news.

I’m flabbergasted because they spoke about me better than I could have imagined, and then my mother called.

“Yes, Mother.”

-Oh dear. My son is so adorable, I could die.

“Did you see the news?”

-Okay. What happened? Did you visit the broadcasting station?

Yes. Well, it’s a bit complicated, but that’s how it turned out. You said such nice things that I don’t even know what’s what.

-You did well. We should help each other and live.

“Hehehe.”

– Mom, these days I feel like I’m really living thanks to our son.

“Have you eaten?”

-I ate it. You are.

“I ate it too.” I made a lot of lunch boxes to share, and since there’s some left over, I’m eating that.

-Don’t you need kimchi?

Yes. These days, I don’t have time to eat at home because I’ve been eating out.

-Okay. Don’t overdo it.

“Yes.”

After finishing the call, there were KakaoTalk messages coming in from all over.

The group chat for the Baek Seung-yong car club was also in chaos, and even people who hadn’t been in touch for years said they watched the TV show and were enjoying it.

“Really.”

I’m still a bit dazed, but I don’t feel bad.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

“What did you do?”

Cha Ji-chan pressed Baek Woo-jin.

“What did I do?”

I looked at him suspiciously, and Baek Woo-jin stomped his feet as if he was wronged.

“It’s true!”

“Drunk driving, school violence, drugs, sexual harassment—aren’t they all?”

“What kind of nonsense is this!” “Are you going to keep framing me?”

When I asked jokingly, Baek Woo-jin jumped up.

“Then why?”

“CEO, the KTN reporter is asking if you could spare a moment?”

As soon as he asked what the WTV news interview request was about, PD Ahn Sang-kyu from the Jimkun channel found Cha Ji-chan.

“Me too? “Why?

“They said they want to interview about the Baek Seung-yong car lunch box.”

Cha Ji-chan was in a difficult situation.

A week has passed since Baek Seung-yong opened his lunchbox shop.

Since the news report, it has received an absolutely ridiculous amount of attention, and the view count for the Baek Seung-yong car lunchbox video, which was slightly underperforming, has surpassed 3 million.

There were so many comments that even I, who used to live for reading them, found it hard to check each one.

In the meantime, there were also difficulties.

“I came because I heard you were doing good deeds.”

I didn’t know how to deal with the sponsoring organizations that came during business hours.

At first, I listened to the explanation with interest, but as too many people came to the store, I couldn’t attend to each person individually.

Above all, it was impossible to support every single organization.

“I understand your feelings, but we need to be sure.”

“That’s right.” If you keep doing it, it never ends.

Sunday.

After discussing how to approach the sponsor organization, we ultimately decided to handle it ourselves.

“But didn’t we decide to take a break?” “Why are you coming out?”

Baek Woo-jin complained while lying on the table.

Due to personal schedules and even selling lunch boxes, we decided to take Sunday off without anyone having to say it first.

“I need to plan next week’s meals.”

Joo Ji-seung showed the tablet.

“Many people were dissatisfied with the limited sale of 200 units.” There are people who came from far away and didn’t even get a number.

“Can’t be.”

Jichan, Baek Woojin, and I turned our heads at the same time. It feels like I’m going to say something I don’t even want to imagine.

“How about just doing 100 more?”

“No!”

“Are you out of your mind?”

“I’m still struggling to death.”

If there was this much reaction, it would be understandable to give up, but Joo Ji-seung came out and patted Cha Ji-chan’s shoulder, saying.

“You’re getting used to it little by little.” “See, I told you it would work out!”

No. I can’t do it. I’m really dying.

Baek Woo-jin vehemently opposed it.

“Me too.”

“I can’t do it either.”

When Cha Ji-chan and I opposed it, Ju Ji-seung licked his lips as if regretting it.

“Okay.” I’ll concede the proposal to increase it to 300.

“It sounds like there’s something else too.”

I preemptively spoke up because I felt like he was about to say something strange again.

“It’s a diet problem.” Look.”

Joo Ji-seung handed over the tablet.

We have collected the comments on the videos that the four of us uploaded individually, and the feedback was that the variety of side dishes was lacking.

└Is the white luxury car delicious?

└The cost performance is great, but honestly, I think convenience store bento boxes are better.

└Me too. There are too many greens.

└For real, you need at least one tonkatsu.

└It tastes too healthy.

I could understand what he meant right away.

They don’t care at all that Baek Seung-yong’s lunchbox focuses on health and diet.

I just think of it as a 4,000-won lunchbox.

“There’s no need to worry about these guys.” I told you it was a healthy lunch box, but you’re still clenching your teeth and not listening.

Cha Ji-chan said.

“That’s true, but there are also these needs.” Also, our goal isn’t just diet and health, right?

“Let’s give back a little of what we’ve received so far.” Since the cost of living is so high, how about providing affordable and quality lunches?

Baek Woo-jin said as if confirming.

“That’s right.”

I understand what you’re saying. But you can’t just put fried dishes like tonkatsu or sausages in there, right?

When I drew the line, Cha Ji-chan and Baek Woo-jin nodded in agreement.

Fried food is the opposite of health and dieting. Processed meats are not good either, so they don’t suit our Baek Seung-yong car lunch box.

“So, here’s the thing.”

“No.” If someone suggests a new menu, I’m completely against it.

Once again, anxiety overwhelmed me, and I made a move.

“Eh.” No way.

Cha Ji-chan turned his head as if to confirm that he wasn’t laughing.

However, Joo Ji-seung kept his mouth tightly shut and nodded.

“Really?”

“Since we’ve already started, let’s add one more item to the menu.” Seeing Chan-yong do it, he seems to be doing well. Chan-yong can handle the existing Baek Seung-yong car lunch box, and I’ll try the new menu.

“How am I supposed to do all of that by myself?”

“You were doing well, so what’s the problem?”

“No.” Bro, this is seriously not it.

“If this continues, we’ll all die!”

Baek Woo-jin shouted.
