Genius Minstrel's Music Broadcast - Episode 7 (7/200)

Genius Minstrel's Music Broadcast Episode 7

Broadcast visit.

It was an old tradition of RichTV that Han knew well.

Indeed, among the famous streamers, it's not uncommon to find those who gained popularity through broadcast visits.

Han couldn't say he didn't expect a broadcast visit; that would be a lie.

‘But, will they visit a broadcast with only four viewers?’

Han tilted his head, puzzled by the situation.

Even considering his lack of broadcast knowledge, this was a truly strange occurrence.

But, is it really that important?

Ultimately, the only thing that's certain now is that there are more people to listen to his songs.

The rest doesn't matter much.

What's important to Han is the people who listen to his songs.

“Phew, that's it for now.”

He stopped the third encore of his original song and looked at the chat.

- You're insane;;

- Big brother, take me...

- Why aren't you a singer?

- The cam is cheap, but the mic must be good, lol. The sound quality is perfect - I can't believe it every time I listen, lol.

.

As the song ended, the viewers, who were usually quiet, reacted enthusiastically.

They were all viewers of Yeom Seol-a and would leave after the broadcast visit, but it didn't matter.

After all, for this moment, they were Han's audience.

“Thank you for listening so well.”

Han bowed slightly.

- Wow...

Then, a sponsorship message appeared.

The content was brief, but the price was not.

‘Did she already spend about 400,000 won?’

Han chuckled, his first sponsorship ever.

But, to think she would send so much money.

It was good news for Han, who only had enough money for this month's rent and food, but it was also a burden.

“I know that donations can be made from 1,000 won. If you have any questions, a 1,000 won donation is fine.”

Han sincerely tried to dissuade Yeom Seol-a, not just as a formality.

- Haha

- Even if Yeom Seol-a isn't a big company, she's at least a medium-sized one

- No burden

However, the viewers found Han's concern cute, and the chat window was quickly filled with lol.

Yeom Seol-a's sponsorship was the same.

- I love your songs so much, so don't feel burdened!

It turned out that everyone except Han thought it was fine.

“A, then that's it.”

Han nodded at Yeom Seol-a's sponsorship.

If she's fine with it, it wouldn't be polite to worry more.

Just as he thought that,

- But, it really doesn't feel burdensome, yeah

A sponsorship from someone other than Yeom Seol-a.

- Wow... You're insane.

The video in the sponsorship showed Yeom Seol-a with her mouth wide open, laughing.

A donation technology unique to RichTV.

Video donation (Vidonation).

- Hahaha

- Job satisfaction 100%

- Yeom Seol-a, wipe your drool

.

.

When did they clip that?

The chat reactions were intense.

It gave a clear picture of what her usual broadcasts were like.

‘This is fun.’

This was the kind of broadcast Han wanted.

A broadcast where he could laugh and enjoy songs together, even showing his awkward side like a friend.

Such a comfortable broadcast.

“You're a fun person.”

Han responded to the video donation with a hint of envy.

Of course, to the viewers who didn't know the details, it sounded a bit different.

- You're a fun person, lol

- Yeom Seol-a is pretty fun

- Streamer Yeom Seol-a, recognized by Hako

- A streamer who wouldn't be ashamed to show anywhere, lol

.

.

“Haha.”

The chat quickly heated up in response to Han's words.

Seeing the content, he chuckled again, wondering if he should explain, and another sponsorship came in.

- Because you sing so well...

A sponsorship message filled with genuine emotion.

Han didn't wipe the smile from his face as he adjusted his guitar.

He should repay such appreciation.

“Thank you for saying that. If you have a song you'd like to hear, let me know. By the way, I'm doing this as a thank you, so please request it in the chat, not through a donation. Got it?”

Following Han's request, a message came through the chat instead of a donation.

Han nodded at the song request.

Trampoline by Lee Daeho was a song he knew well.

Lee Daeho was Han's favorite singer.

After reading about him, Han had also looked him up.

Lee Daeho.

One of the people who would always be mentioned if you asked who sings well among Korean singers.

Originally a ballad singer, he mainly sang ballads but now challenges various genres.

Trampoline was Lee Daeho's first attempt at a different genre.

Although it was his first try, it wasn't completely free of the ballad feel, but it was a song that captured the heart of someone experiencing their first love.

“By the way, I don't have the instrumental, so I'll sing it acoustically.”

──♪♬

As if in response to Yeom Seol-a's question, the guitar sound started as soon as her chat appeared.

It was definitely Trampoline, though different from the original.

If the original evoked the feeling of recalling a first love as an adult,

Han's version felt like the moment of a first love in childhood.

“When I look at you──.”

The acoustically arranged Trampoline came out of Han's mouth.

A song that was clearly different from the deep-voiced Lee Daeho.

The innocence in the lyrics took on a different meaning.

Of course, it wasn't a bad change.

- Wow, you're insane...

- Is this really a legend?

- I don't usually say this, but... isn't this beyond the original?

- He's making Lee Daeho's song his own, lol

- Is this a monster?

- Where has this person been all this time?

.

.

As Han started singing, the chat window exploded.

The number of viewers had already surpassed 800.

Viewers from Yeom Seol-a's broadcast had moved to Han's to listen to the song, and new viewers curious about the sudden increase in viewership had joined.

If the broadcast continued, the number of viewers would likely keep growing.

‘Not bad.’

Han smiled at the satisfying number of viewers.

After all, music is more fun when shared with many people.

──♬♪

The broadcast continued with a steady stream of song requests, and the music never stopped.

Several clips were created during Han's broadcast that day.

If you had to pick the three most legendary clips, it would be Wish and Trampoline.

And the last one.

- Wow... You're insane.

Yeom Seol-a's reaction.

* * *

“Ah...”

Broadcast name Yeom Seol-a.

Real name Yun Ye-hwa sighed as she watched the broadcasts from yesterday.

The aftermath of the broadcast visit had been bothering her since it ended.

‘I should have been more aware that I was on air.’

Of course, it wasn't a big issue.

A small incident.

The problem was that she had unknowingly opened her mouth wide while listening to the song.

Unfortunately, she had also drooled, and it was spread through video donations to other streamers.

As a broadcaster, Yeom Seol-a should have been happy that her visibility increased.

But to Yun Ye-hwa, it was just a black mark in her history.

‘But, aside from that, the singing skills were really something, right?’

The song she had heard by chance in the broadcast she visited yesterday.

Yun Ye-hwa recalled the song that she still couldn't forget.

A voice so clean and clear, it felt like an angel singing.

The innocent emotion in the Trampoline, the smooth original song, everything was perfect.

Even the trolls stopped chatting and just listened when he sang.

If he wasn't a famous singer hiding his identity, he was a streamer with insane talent.

He would likely achieve great success in a short time.

She could tell from her experience in broadcasting.

Who would succeed and who would fail.

‘Minstrel... shortened to YI, right? This person will definitely succeed.’

Yun Ye-hwa ran her hand through her hair as she checked the clips from yesterday.

One of the important things in broadcasting is intuition.

Knowing the current trend of RichTV is crucial.

If not, she would have to create the trend herself.

‘Should I invite him once?’

Yun Ye-hwa checked her schedule.

Fortunately, she had a suitable event next Wednesday.

A Discord event where people gather to listen to songs and the best singer gets a prize.

It would be great if the Minstrel could join.

Of course, she would need to check his schedule as well.

‘But, it would be a good opportunity for him, so he probably won't refuse.’

Yun Ye-hwa was confident.

After all, it would be a huge gain for him to show off his singing skills.

Since the announcement for the singing event hadn't been made yet, she could contact the Minstrel before then.

Yun Ye-hwa smiled at the upcoming Wednesday event, which she was already looking forward to.

* * *

Less than a week since the broadcast started.

Han chuckled at the rapidly increasing number of followers.

The number of followers had increased due to the broadcast visit yesterday, but especially because of the video donations.

The song was so good that the 1-minute clip felt like a 1-minute preview of a watermelon chart;

- Who is this? I've never seen him before, but I've been looking for him - He appeared on Yeom Seol-a's broadcast yesterday - His singing skills are like a pro;

- I've been listening to the 1-minute preview for 6 hours. I can't get Trampoline out of my head. I'm so happy.

└ Hahaha

└ Even without a phone, the song keeps playing, lol

└ Trampoline was good, but the other song was amazing.

- Does anyone know the title of the other song? I can't find it online;

└ I also heard it for the first time, but it's great

└ Honestly, I liked it more than Trampoline. It's a song that keeps you listening - I'm insane └ It's more soothing than the sound of a wooden fish, lol └ The wooden fish makes you sleepy, not calm;

- The streamer's name is BJ Minstrel. The other song is his original, titled Wish, I think. He appeared on Yeom Seol-a's broadcast visit yesterday.

└ So, that's when Yeom Seol-a drooled?

└ Yeah

└ There was a reason for it, lol

└ I also drooled, but I didn't turn on the cam, so I'm lucky;

Han looked at the content about himself spread across various communities with amazement.

Indeed, with the internet, things spread much faster than in his previous life.

Probably, quite a few people would join today's broadcast.

‘But, I can't broadcast today right away.’

Han looked at the message on his phone.

It was a message he received while broadcasting yesterday evening.
