The current situation can be described as a controversy over the second face reveal of Mollu.
Saying it’s a controversy makes it seem like I’ve done something wrong.
I haven’t done anything wrong, though.
If I were to strictly address right and wrong, it would be that I have such a face.
It’s absurd that there’s this uproar just because of a face. However, I can’t say much since I’ve benefited more from this face than I’ve lost.
“Mollu, please clarify.”
Please clarify that you’re pretty lol
lol: Now even this kind of nonsense is on the card, the world has become great.
lol: A clarification is indeed necessary.
ㄴ lol: For real, there are no other posts aside from Mollu’s face bait. Hurry up with the clarification, whether it’s that or anything else.
So I knew that seeing such posts was inevitable.
It’s the curiosity people have about my face from the dinner party.
I had managed to suppress public opinion somehow back then, but I anticipated that such an event would happen again someday.
If you know the future, shouldn’t you prepare for it?
I’ve clumsily prepared a countermeasure for this situation.
“Is this how it’s done?”
“Yes, it works well.”
Right now, I was having Si-young review that countermeasure.
She was the one who provided professional knowledge to help when I initially brought up ‘this’ as a countermeasure.
I asked her if she knew anything about ‘this,’ and it turned out she knew everything.
With her expert-like demeanor, she was helping me set things up beside me.
With this much effort put in, it has to yield results.
There will be results. No, I just need to make sure it does.
My intuition was strongly saying that this would work.
“The test broadcast is running smoothly… I think it’s good to start the broadcast.”
Along with Si-young’s monitoring, I began the broadcast.
“Mollru is live!”
Important announcement.
Si-young watched Mollu, who had just started her broadcast.
Mollu, conducting the broadcast while wearing equipment, looked just like any other day.
There was no sign of nervousness or trembling; her face was calm.
Si-young thought about her boss, Ji-eun. She was someone surprisingly mature and resolute for her age.
Just a while ago, she had no connection to the internet broadcasting world at all.
Yet in just a few months, she had risen to such a position.
Beyond her pay increasing, Si-young didn’t think this was a good thing.
Having been deeply involved in internet broadcasting while editing for various streamers, Si-young knew that she had seen streamers like Mollu rise rapidly before.
However, most of their stories were the same.
“They ended up collapsing on their own.”
Crushed under excessive attention and expectations, they lost their charm and became just another streamer.
Some even quit broadcasting because they couldn’t handle the pressure.
That’s why Si-young had many worries.
She was worried that Mollu, a fascinating gem she had found after a long time, might collapse like those before her.
But just now, she realized that her worries were unfounded.
“How about this, broadcaster?”
The broadcast plan that Ji-eun had come up with was truly something Si-young couldn’t have imagined.
She felt foolish for worrying about Mollu’s next broadcast.
“Hello, I’m Mollu.”
As Mollu started with a greeting like any other, Si-young suddenly became curious.
Having become a massive scale broadcaster in the shortest time, she wondered just how far Mollu could go.
Si-young watched Mollu chatting with the viewers for a long time.
[Cam on, cam on, cam on, cam on, cam on]
[Is it true that you’re revealing your face? I came right after hearing the news.]
[It’s amazing that you decided to enlist in the military as a woman.]
[Mollu’s extreme decision to quell public opinion…]
[Is it true that you’re a 42-year-old sultry lady?]
[Mollu declares herself a feminist ㄷㄷ;]
[It’s been 5 days since the last broadcast… I thought I was going to freeze to death.]
[This is precious.]
As soon as the broadcast started, viewers flocked in as if they had been waiting.
It was the influence of a community that marks coordinates during the broadcasts of famous streamers.
“Good morning, everyone.”
Mollu casually started speaking while slurping something.
The responses in the chat were clearly different from her relaxed demeanor.
[What’s this important announcement?]
[What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?]
[Here we go! Mollu-style delay!]
[I have to go if it’s important, so tell me quickly.]
From the title of the broadcast alone, it was bound to draw attention.
The title selection seemed too intentional to be anything else.
Additionally, the screen setting featured nothing but a black screen, offering no visibility.
[Is this an apology broadcast?]
It wouldn’t be strange for anyone to mistake it for an apology broadcast, given the setup.
[A national apology broadcast.]
[I regret causing concern…]
[It seems there are many people who need to apologize, according to what I hear ㅇㅇ.]
[? What did the moderator do?]
[I heard he forced Cheol-woo to drink.]
[OMG.]
[Cheol-woo, come on;;]
[Do you want to fall into the ocean?]
[Drum barrel actions ㄷㄷ.]
As if something had come to mind, Mollu gave a small cough.
“Um, I’ve already apologized to everyone individually. This isn’t an apology broadcast.”
She hurriedly clarified, and while some viewers teased her for that, they returned to the main topic.
<Mollu’s apology broadcast has received a 10,000 won donation!>
– We have ten thousand people here, so please say something.
“Well, ten thousand… I was going to wait until more gathered, but I’ll just say it now.”
[Ten thousand is already not enough for you, huh?]
[Mols Hiddink: I’m still hungry.]
[Mollu, ten thousand is too few, I don’t even see them as people now.]
“Many people seem curious about my face—both from the last dinner party and this Switch party.”
As Mollu brought up the topic of ‘face,’ the already fast chat started to speed up even more.
Initially, when this subject first arose, people didn’t think Mollu’s beauty was exceptional.
They assumed surrounding streamers were just being polite and saying she was pretty.
Now, the situation had reversed.
Given that the streamers who participated in the Switch party couldn’t help but mention Mollu’s stunning appearance, consistent testimonies had provided credibility, establishing the public opinion that Mollu was indeed an extraordinary beauty.
[So, wouldn’t everyone be curious? LOL. They all say she’s that pretty.]
[The streamer I was watching who made dad jokes turns out to be a local S-class beauty? I can’t resist this.]
[What’s Mawma Tong?]
[Mawma Tong is the most important thing LOL. Pull it to the front.]
[Even a monk wouldn’t be able to hold back and ask.]
Mollu, who had been pausing while observing all those reactions, opened her mouth.
“There’s been too much talk about my face, and it seems like the broadcast won’t go on like this, so I’ve decided to take special measures.”
[What is it?]
“I’ll reveal my face just like you’ve wanted.”
[Heavenly joy!]
[For real? I thought you’d never do it.]
[This is right, it seems broadcast-worthy.]
[Following the trend, it makes sense to show your face.]
[I’ve waited a long time…]
Most of the reactions were favorable.
After all, why would there be such an uproar?
It was the sense of relative deprivation felt by the viewers.
Unlike other streamers, they didn’t know what Mollu looked like.
No matter how much time they spent watching her broadcasts or sharing moments together, they couldn’t grasp any part of her.
Mollu’s viewers were consumed with the desire to know what kind of face she had.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll turn on the cam.”
With the clanging sound, something seemed to be prepared.
[Something big is coming, something big is coming, something big is coming, something big is coming.]
[Is an ultra-legendary beauty coming?]
[A beauty who could sweep down on an actress’s looks is revealing herself ㄷㄷ.]
“Don’t be surprised…”
With a slightly amused voice, Mollu spoke while the viewers were filled with expectations.
What appeared before them was the face of a woman.
However, it wasn’t what they had expected.
“I’m a bit embarrassed. I really didn’t want to reveal my face. Does this mean I’m an ultra-legendary beauty? Can I be acknowledged for that?”
[What is this?]
[You said you would reveal your face!]
[She is pretty though LOL…]
[Once again, I’m deceived—she’s just talking nonsense as always.]
[Was Mollu a foreigner?]
On the screen the viewers were watching, a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes was smiling happily.
However, that was just a polygonal mass made up of graphics, not a real person.
[This is a VTuber, right?]
That’s right, Mollu had put forth a 3D character representing herself instead.
There was no way the viewers would just sit back and watch this shameless and ridiculous act.
[Is this what you call a face reveal?]
“Yes, is there any problem with this?”
[Well, would it be too much to at least match your hair color? Didn’t you have black hair?]
“Oh, I dyed it the other day.”
While nodding, Mollu continued.
The reason they knew she was nodding was that the blonde woman on the screen nodded in accordance with her movements.
<Again, you’re tricking us, huh? LOL donated 30,000 won!>
– It’s your fault for believing Mollu… of course, I include myself too.
The drawn-out electronic voice of the donation echoed the feelings of the viewers.
