01x02 - Influence

[bunniefuu]

Time's flying by.

PANIBOTTLE

TRAVEL YOUTUBER

-Could I ask you a favor?

-What favor?

Do you have any votes left?

-Likes?

-No.

-Dislikes?

-Yes.

I ran out.

Actually, I had six left.

But I didn't like the way

he explicitly asked for them.

-Why dislikes though?

-Why do you want dislikes?

Are you going the other way?

As they say these days,

superstars excite both fans and haters.

That's what this is.

Then give me one too.

Do you have any?

-Can I be honest with you?

-Sure.

I already sent you a dislike

before I realized this.

No!

I'm sorry.

-It's nothing personal.

-Of course.

Please send me a lot of dislikes.

I just want to go home.

My plan was to be hated.

I wanted to be funny

if I was going to be hated anyway.

CHANGHYUN

AFREECATV STREAMER & YOUTUBER

My eyes!

NAPKINS, TIKTOK CREATOR

CHON TAE-POONG, (EX) BASKETBALL PLAYER

SSUNBIKI

PLUS-SIZE MODEL

He's taking off his shirt!

-My goodness!

-He's going wild!

Damn.

Please stop!

He's trying so hard.

KERRIGAN MAY SENT CHANGHYUN A DISLIKE

Everyone's trying so hard.

-He has two million subscribers.

-Exactly.

-And he's trying that hard.

-Right. We can't just sit here.

He's the OG male streamer.

That was sexy!

KIM MOI SENT CHANGHYUN A DISLIKE

Please send me your dislikes!

JANG KEUN-SUK

ACTOR

At a certain point,

everybody started to believe

that getting dislikes

could also be good for them.

That's when the stage performances

started to change.

As time passed,

I realized I needed to act out

to receive at least one more dislike.

Thank you!

Hello, I'm Jang Keun-suk.

Since there's not much time,

I'll be straightforward.

Who wants to ask me a brutal question?

-Me!

-You can ask me even dirty questions.

How much have you earned

your whole career?

How much have I earned?

A lot more than you all.

A lot more than you all.

I want to send a dislike,

but he's right about that.

-I wish there was a "correct" button.

-Exactly.

MAGENTA SENT JANG KEUN-SUK A DISLIKE

PARK SEO-A SENT JANG KEUN-SUK A DISLIKE

GVAN SENT JANG KEUN-SUK A DISLIKE

QUEEN WA$ABII SENT JANG KEUN-SUK A DISLIKE

You have 30 seconds to vote.

Come on!

Hurry. Send me a dislike.

-Thirty seconds?

-Only thirty?

Voting has concluded.

It's funny that we're all influencers here

and still hate people who act out.

After I went up on stage,

-I got so many dislikes.

-This is the thing

-Isn't this wrong?

-In Korea

We're influencers.

We're supposed to want attention.

That's so funny.

Here are the results

of the vote for Round 1.

-Right away?

-Right now?

Exactly. There's not even a buildup to it?

I'm already stressed.

MEJIWOO

FASHION AND COSMETICS CEO

QYOUNG

BEAUTY AND FASHION YOUTUBER

Maybe I'll be around seventh?

I might be able to

move on to the next round.

I think I had an advantage in this round.

First, here is the ranking

for likes received.

Please!

ROUND 1 LIKES RANKING

Ji-sou's way ahead with 25 likes.

1ST, JANG JI-SOU, 25 LIKES

That's crazy.

You're first, Ji-sou!

You got so many likes.

You really raked in the likes.

1ST, JANG JI-SOU

25 LIKES

I think I made people want to like me.

Thankfully, I also knew

basically everyone here.

People asked me

if I was throwing a birthday party here.

Ji-sou was like,

"I'm getting eliminated for sure."

23RD, BBANGTHUG

16 LIKES

And then he ended up being first.

That b*stard.

How am I second?

2ND, CADDIEWANNY, 22 LIKES

-You're ranked so high.

-Thank you, everyone.

TIED FOR 5TH, RISABAE, 20 LIKES

How am I fifth?

I thought I'd be a lot lower.

So many are tied at 23rd,

then it's me at 37th.

23RD, CHARMING JO, 16 LIKES

37TH, PANIBOTTLE, 15 LIKES

TIED FOR 37TH, PANIBOTTLE, 15 LIKES

TIED FOR 37TH, SHIM EU-DDEUM, 15 LIKES

51ST, JIN YONG-JIN, 14 LIKES

Two or three likes

make a lot of difference.

62ND, JANG KEUN-SUK, 12 LIKES

Here is the ranking for dislikes received.

Please.

Where will I be?

Oh my god.

This thing is all about attention.

Why is it good to get dislikes?

-It doesn't sound right, does it?

-Definitely not.

Do you think this is a popularity contest?

I'm sure dislikes are bad to have.

This round is supposed to determine

who has the most influence.

This is where it's really at.

This is what's going to matter.

ROUND 1 DISLIKES RANKING

What on earth?

Jang Keun-suk has a whopping 29 dislikes.

How did he end up with 29?

I admire him, so this is sad to see.

1ST, JANG KEUN-SUK

29 DISLIKES

It might be that everyone was wary of him.

I knew this would happen.

It's unfair for an established celebrity

to be on this show.

I sent him a dislike to keep him in check.

He didn't put

enough effort into his video.

So I sent him a dislike.

I'm second?

2ND, PANIBOTTLE

27 DISLIKES

You're third, Yong-jin.

3RD, JIN YONG-JIN

24 DISLIKES

I'm 18th!

6TH, SIAJIWOO

22 DISLIKES

Caddie went around asking for dislikes,

so he's up there.

8TH, CADDIEWANNY

20 DISLIKES

I'd be sad if I get eliminated.

77TH, HEO SEONG-BEOM

3 DISLIKES

Will these be added up?

75TH, JANG JI-SOU

4 DISLIKES

They didn't tell us the rules.

What will they do with the dislikes?

Is it better to have more dislikes?

Wouldn't dislikes be bad to have?

Will they subtract them from the likes?

-They'll definitely add them up.

-We don't know.

So what's going to happen?

Round 1

was all about

proving your presence as an influencer.

-Presence?

-Yes, presence.

We had to prove our presence.

Influencers are the center of attention

wherever they go.

The likes and dislikes you received

represent the attention

you received as an influencer.

Influencers who have failed to receive

any likes or dislikes

have failed to draw any attention

and thus will be eliminated.

This is what I wanted.

Honestly, I think I've received

a lot of dislikes in my life.

I have a tough skin

when it comes to negative criticism,

so this was a good chance for me

to think about dislikes as a good thing.

Your talents and speaking abilities

are of course important.

But you're nothing without presence.

I was happy

that the game went as I planned.

-It was right.

-It really was.

We had to get dislikes as well.

I'm in trouble.

This is such a twist.

Wherever there are ties in ranking,

the influencer with the higher worth

will rank higher.

Our worth is really important.

Here is the final ranking

with the likes and dislikes added up.

-Oh my gosh!

-Please!

Please.

-Is 30th the cutoff?

-Yes.

Please let me be within 30th.

ROUND 1 TOTAL VOTES RANKING

Did you move up?

PaniBottle's first!

We did it, man.

1ST, PANIBOTTLE, TOTAL OF 42

He's first!

I think we live in a world

where drawing attention

and captivating people are key skills.

I'm so happy I got first place.

It's not every day I get to be first.

PaniBottle's a genius.

He's really something.

2ND, CADDIEWANNY, SURVIVED

22 LIKES, 20 DISLIKES

-I finished in second place.

-What?

3RD, JANG KEUN-SUK, SURVIVED

12 LIKES, 29 DISLIKES

I'm kind of embarrassed

that I only made it through

because I got the most dislikes.

Anyway, it's good to be first at anything.

I'm happy.

I think Jang Keun-suk owes me big time.

5TH, JIN YONG-JIN, SURVIVED

14 LIKES, 24 DISLIKES

CHAHONG.

15TH, CHAHONG, 15 LIKES, 19 DISLIKES

14TH, DAEDO, 16 LIKES, 18 DISLIKES

16TH, JUICE SEYEON, SURVIVED

17 LIKES, 16 DISLIKES

I barely made it through.

24TH, RISABAE, SURVIVED

20 LIKES, 10 DISLIKES

19TH, SIAJIWOO, SURVIVED

10 LIKES, 22 DISLIKES

The 22 dislikes I received

felt like the hate comments I usually get.

It was as if

they were criticizing my video.

It was upsetting to feel

that people were looking down on me.

I almost I'm tearing up again.

I was just

I was really upset.

I was upset for a little bit.

ROUND 1 TOTAL VOTES RANKING

Why am I not on there?

You're not there either, BBOGUMI.

-I can't find my name.

-You must be in between.

Oh no.

Twenty-sixth to thirtieth are empty.

-I'm not up there.

-My name's not on there.

Here are the influencers who finished

between twenty-sixth and thirty-fifth.

Where's Ji-sou?

It's an honor.

As expected.

Congratulations.

-Good job.

-Jin Yong-jin!

Good job.

Yes!

Thank you!

You will absorb

the worth of the eliminated

based on the total votes you received.

Wow, it's going up.

It says zero.

-Mine too?

We're all at zero now.

I got eliminated, okay?

JINJEOLME, ELIMINATED

BEAUTY CREATOR

I'm pissed.

HEO SEONG-BEOM, ELIMINATED

MODEL

I looked at the names of those

who got dislikes for doing nothing

and those who got dislikes

for doing something.

And I realized that

they had all left an impression on me.

That shows how influential they were.

So I can accept the results.

MEJIWOO, ELIMINATED

FASHION AND COSMETICS CEO

I was a bit shocked,

but it honestly makes sense.

The scariest thing for an influencer

is getting no attention at all.

CHARMING JO, ELIMINATED

MUSIC YOUTUBER

I had no scandals or hate comments

for the past 13 years.

I've always thought

that not getting such attention

is the reason why it took me so long

to get big as a creator.

Today confirmed how true that is.

CHAHONG, SURVIVED

HAIRSTYLIS

It was wrong for me to think

being liked was the only way

to be influential.

But that doesn't mean I want to be hated.

This is honestly such a dilemma.

It's all because of this collar!

I'm just kidding.

Congratulations

to allthe surviving influencers.

We're a small crowd now.

Here is the final ranking

of your worth in Round 1

after you've absorbed

the worth of the eliminated.

-Seventy million!

-Who's worth seventy million?

The three influencers

with the highest worth

will be designated as VIPs

that can be used in the next round.

Here is your mission for Round 2.

-What?

-Already?

-Oh my god.

-Right away?

What mission?

Oh my god.

In Round 2,you will prove your influence

through live streaming.

LIVE STREAMING

NEEDMORECASH

SHORT-FORM CREATOR

This is bad.

I'm really not confident

about live streaming.

I can't do this.

This is what I'm weakest at,

but people like OKING are experts at this.

People like OKING

already do this for a living.

I looked at everyone

to see who was most excited.

OKING couldn't seem to contain his joy.

Live streaming is my bread and butter.

OKING

STREAMER & YOUTUBER

Only a few people here

could say they have the upper hand at it.

And one of them is me.

Jang Keun-suk's the Prince of Asia.

He has a lot of followers

who could help him.

JUNWOO

STREAMER & YOUTUBER

Live streaming is my expertise.

This round is made for me.

JUICE SEYEON

AFREECATV STREAMER

This is my thing.

BBOGUMI

STREAMER & YOUTUBER

I'll dominate everyone.

Live streaming is all about

media presence to influencers.

RISABAE

BEAUTY CREATOR

It's proof of how influential a person is.

Drawing attention

and captivating an entire audience

are the fundamental elements

of live streaming.

Streamers communicating

with their viewers and responding.

DAEDO

GAMING YOUTUBER

That's what makes live streams

so fun for viewers.

KEJIMIN

TIKTOK CREATOR

I was so worried about this round.

I don't really go live that often.

SIAJIWOO

TIKTOK CREATOR

DOCTOR WHO

TIKTOK CREATOR

I was worried.

I didn't know how to do live streams.

I just wanted to survive.

QUEEN WA$ABII

RAPPER

This is bad for me.

There's nothing I can do on a live stream.

KERRIGAN MAY

RAPPER

I honestly don't know what to do.

THE INFLUENCER

We welcome the 30 influencers

who made itto Round 2 of The Influencer.

I'm nervous.

In Round 2,

only 15 of you will survive

and move on to the next round.

Half of us are going home.

Live streaming in Round 2

will be done in two halves.

The first half will last 60 minutes.

The viewer count

for each influencer will be recorded

every ten seconds.

And the final ranking will be determined

based on the average over 60 minutes.

The five influencers

with the highest average viewer count

in the first half will survive.

What?

And they will automatically

move on to Round 3.

So the top five of the first half

-won't join the second half?

-No.

-That sounds amazing.

-sh*t.

I don't think I'll finish in the top five.

The five influencers

with the lowest average viewer count

will be eliminated.

The last five get eliminated

and the rest go to the second half.

I think finishing in the bottom five

would feel like crap.

I really don't want it to happen.

Wow, what do I do?

What if I go home after the first half?

The second half

will be done under different rules.

After live streaming begins

in the second half,

influencers will survive and be eliminated

simultaneously every five minutes.

-sh*t.

-Oh my.

So I could get eliminated

in the middle of it?

This is so unexpected.

I'm scared.

-This is brutal.

-It's crazy.

To maintain a high average for 60 minutes,

you need to keep people invested

by captivating them

through various content.

The second half is more of a sprint.

You need provocative content

to draw attention right away.

To survive Round 2,

draw as many viewers to your live stream.

Now, you may enter your own cube

and prepare for your live stream.

What are these?

Our names are on the cubes.

Let's go.

Let's do this.

-Yes.

-Let's go.

-Good luck.

-Bye.

Good luck.

I mean, they have

tens of millions of followers.

16TH

JANG KEUN-SUK

What's this, Keun-suk?

16TH, JANG KEUN-SUK

ACTOR

-I thought you didn't prepare!

-This is not a big deal.

You said you were worried

about not being prepared.

It's really nothing.

What is all this?

This is crazy. What is this?

There's so much stuff.

I remembered that mukbangs

are great for live streams.

I had completely forgotten that.

This won't be easy.

Another key thing

is which guest you invite

to be on your stream.

-You have an actress coming in though.

-Still.

Who's your guest?

It's Seor In-a.

I'm so happy

to have Seor In-a on as a guest.

It's going to be great.

And I couldn't even pay her much.

Look, it's Dr. Hong.

JO HOON

COMEDY CREATOR

Should we take off our tops

if we get over 5,000 viewers?

6TH, SHERRY

TIKTOK CREATOR

Every time I shot

dance challenge videos with Dr. Hong,

I would get more than six million views.

He's very popular

among young people on TikTok,

so I invited him as my guest.

From what I heard,

a lot of these influencers are bringing on

celebrities as their guests.

But I'm confident I can do well

even without any guests.

I'm so nervous.

And I was so confident

during my interview.

Live streaming will begin in one minute.

Okay, let's go!

One minute left.

Hello, everyone.

OKING

2.1M YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBERS

Netflix is doing something exciting,

and I'm actually a part of it.

You're all on the show right now.

"Hi, Netflix." "I'm on the show!"

I'M ON TV, MOM

This is what live streams are all about.

For today's stream,

I'm going to work on

my personal matter today.

JUNWOO

1.2M YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBERS

Hi, guys.

SIAJIWOO

27.5M TIKTOK FOLLOWERS

There's a lot of you.

I prepared some greetings

in different languages.

Bonjour. Adios.

Boa t*rd.

Buongiorno.

In Turkish, merhaba.

ALL SECRETS REVEALED

Hello.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR VIDEOS?

JIN YONG-JIN

YOUTUBER & DIRECTOR

HE'S DRINKING ALREADY

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

WHAT'S WITH HIM?

I never do live streams.

When I tried it a few months ago,

I only had 800 or 900 viewers.

I had to change things up for this round.

I realized I couldn't rely

on my subscribers for views.

I needed outside viewers.

That's the only way.

This is all about the ability

to draw attention to yourself.

Before my live stream,

I made all my videos private.

PRIVATE

JIN YONG-JIN

THERE ARE NO VIDEOS TO SHOW

Then I checked on all the comments

on different platforms

and prepared myself.

As someone with 2.7 million subscribers,

I thought I could draw attention

if I was having problems with my channel.

I'd like to talk about

some things I've kept inside

and just discuss what's been going on

through this live stream.

I GUESS HE'S ON NETFLIX TOO

IS THIS FOR NETFLIX?

Is this for Netflix?

I'll answer that question briefly

toward the end of my stream.

Where are all my videos?

Toward the end of my stream,

I'll also explain

what happened to my videos.

I'm not trying to rile you up.

I really don't have a choice.

Please just watch until the end.

People who watch me do so not to have fun

but to satisfy their curiosity.

My plan was to answer

those questions every ten minutes

so that people would stay on

and watch during those times.

How many of you are here?

If I can maintain

7,000 viewers for 10 minutes,

I'll tell you my monthly earnings.

This is very personal information.

The more time passes,

the more secrets I'll reveal.

It won't just be my earnings

but also why I've ended up like this.

So I suggest you stay.

You won't regret staying on my stream.

I HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMEN

Hello, everyone.

Honestly, I baited you all.

It's actually not a big announcement.

It's more of a small one.

Sadly, I'm not getting married.

Marriage, getting neutered,

taking over Netflix, p*nis enlargement

It's not any of those.

ARE YOU CONFIDENT ABOUT YOUR SIZE?

PENISBOTTLE LOL

I think the biggest difference

between celebrities and influencers

is that communicating with celebrities

is almost impossible.

But influencers like YouTubers

communicate a lot.

Live streams

are a key way of communicating,

especially by reading the chat

and responding immediately.

So I've prepared something

we could talk about.

What will we do today?

"Content ideas for PaniBottle

for the new year."

Let me explain.

I'm always ready

to quit YouTube at any time,

so I'll show you all

what kind of content

I'd like to make as a producer.

First is a dating show

where singles go on an RV trip.

I came up with this idea

early in 2023 when I went to Australia.

I traveled in an RV with three other guys,

and we were all up

in each other's spaces in there.

Wouldn't it be exciting if they shot

a dating show like that?

There would be three men

and three women in one RV.

Things could happen

"Camping Inferno"?

Could we call it that?

Don't get me wrong.

The singles on the show

will be very attractive,

so I can't be part of it.

And KwakTube can't be either.

"Someone's getting pregnant"?

IT'LL SOLVE OUR LOW BIRTH RATE

HOW WILL THEY FART?

Thank you

for the straightforward comments.

Next is traveling to different countries

for food ingredients.

I would be the lead for this.

Let's say I'm making pizza.

I would need

flour, olives, fish, ham, and others.

FISH ON PIZZA?

What I would have to do

is get the ingredients from their sources.

If the olives are from Greece,

then I'd go there and harvest the olives.

If the flour's from Chile,

then I'd go there to bring the flour.

I'll just end up going to China?

RICE: FROM CHINA, CHILI: FROM CHINA,

FLOUR: FROM CHINA

Everything's from China?

For today's "Shameless Makeup Challenge,"

I'm going to make myself

look rich through makeup.

First, I'm going to

make my forehead look rounder.

Here I go.

RISABAE

FIRST-GEN BEAUTY CREATOR

Does it look rounder?

Thank you for saying I look like

a lady who lives in a rich neighborhood,

but I'm not there yet.

Once I show you

how to look rich through makeup,

I hope you can do this on yourself

and actually become rich

in the new year.

My content for Round 2

is one of my signature ones.

It's a series on YouTube

I call "Shameless Makeup Challenge."

Instead of doing something

out of the blue,

I wanted to do something that my viewers

were already familiar with,

so I chose to do

my "Shameless Makeup Challenge."

It's all based on a theme.

For example,

if the theme is to look arrogant,

I'll ask my viewers for suggestions.

Once they give me ideas,

I adjust my makeup to look arrogant

based on their feedback.

Today's theme

is putting on makeup to look rich.

What makes me a good streamer

is that I can read every comment,

no matter how many.

So I scan the comments

and pick out the most interesting ones.

I'm done with my forehead.

Now, it's time to move on to my eyebrows.

Someone says it's best for your eyes

and brows to be three centimeters apart.

But three centimeters

is such a wide gap.

It would be here.

ERASE YOUR BROWS

YOU'LL HAVE TO ERASE THEM

I'll try erasing my brows.

I need this gap

to get wider by about two centimeters.

Let's see how far

three centimeters would be.

Can you all see this?

Three centimeters would be here.

IT'S SO FUNNY

THAT SHE BROUGHT A RULER LOL

Right here.

Isn't this gap too wide?

"I don't want to be rich then."

No, you have to become rich!

IT'S HARD TO BECOME RICH

"It's hard to become rich."

Yes, we need to endure this.

You all need to endure this with me.

Three centimeters would be right here.

"Netflix is so heartless."

IS IT OKAY TO GO ON NETFLIX

LOOKING LIKE THIS?

THE GAP BETWEEN YOUR BROWS

SHOULD BE HALF A FINGER WIDE

Between my brows?

It would be this wide

if it's half a finger.

Then my eyebrows need to be further apart.

Just a moment.

Someone said that my brows

and eyes need to be further apart.

Do I look rich now?

Right, I'm going to put on false lashes.

First, I'm going to put on

my lashes like this.

"Is this the 'Inferno' look?"

I should line my lips darker?

How's this color?

IT'S LIKE YOU DIDN'T WIPE YOUR MOUTH

AFTER EATING BLACK NOODLES

My fortune's looking up now.

"Rich people have a lot to smile about,

so their smile lines are deep."

I see.

Their smile lines and philtrums are deep.

I guess rich people are deep in general.

Just a second.

"I heard rich people

actually have three eyes."

Who wrote that? Your ID is Na-yeong?

Na-yeong.

I hope you become rich.

Na-yeong says,

"I think I'll just live a simple life."

IS THIS A DARE?

SHAKE YOUR EYELINER IF YOU'RE IN DANGER

I'm so excited to be on Netflix

with all my little ladies and gentlemen,

but I didn't think

I'd be going on with this rich look.

"Is this really

how you want to get on Netflix?"

I tried to be funny.

I wanted to be funny using my face.

That was the only thing on my mind.

JANG KEUN-SUK'S IT MIGHT BE SPICY

For my stream today,

I thought it would be fun

to go through some pain with you all.

It was a calculated decision.

My videos with the highest views

mostly involved eating spicy food.

A lot of global viewers

seemed to like those particular videos.

SINGIL-DONG SPICY JJAMPPONG, 530K VIEWS

THE PORK CUTLET OF DEATH, 1.65M VIEWS

I realized everyone

could enjoy that kind of content

without language barriers.

That's why I started doing

"It Might Be Spicy."

And instead of eating alone,

I invited someone

who's better at eating spicy food than me.

MAPHANY

SPICY MUKBANG YOUTUBER

I thought streaming as a duo

would be more exciting to watch.

I have Silbi kimchi for today.

BUSAN SPICY TTEOKBOKKI

I HAD DIARRHEA FOR A MONTH

AFTER EATING THA

BUSAN'S SPICIEST FOOD

YOU'LL CLEAN OUT YOUR INTESTINES

PALDANG SQUID

It looks so good!

THAI CHILI

KOREAN CHEONGYANG CHILI

I wanted to show

everything I had in the first half.

LOOK AT HIM SWEATING

DON'T PUSH YOURSELF TOO HARD

There's another dish

that was recommended to me.

And I wanted to

THERE'S THE KICK

IT COMES LATER

I wanted to eat it with you.

This is a very spicy curry

from a curry place in Seoul.

I'm going to try it now.

YOUR EYES ARE RED

I don't feel it yet. Not at all.

It's delicious. It's not spicy at all.

YOU'RE NOT ANGRY, ARE YOU?

EAT SPICY FOOD WHEN YOU sh**t ANGRY SCENES

I wonder if others would find it spicy.

Let me give it a test.

YOU'VE SNIFFLED 80 TIMES

YOUR SWEAT IS SO NOTICEABLE

See if this is spicy.

It's not spicy, is it?

Jeez, this is

BE CAREFUL

HE CAN'T HELP BUT COUGH

NOT GOING DOWN ALONE LOL

I CAN SMELL IT FROM HERE

I NEVER EXPECTED

TO SEE YOU BLOWING YOUR NOSE

How far could I go?

It was a chance for me to show

how far we humans could go

when it comes to creating content.

"Stop."

You want me to stop?

Do you know anything about Korea?

SIAJIWOO

TIKTOK CREATOR

"I love kimchi."

You know about kimchi?

Later, Dasha Taran

will be on as a special guest.

Please stay tuned for all of that later.

My strategy was

to bring in a guest for my stream.

Guests may only be invited once

throughout both halves

and may only join the stream

for a maximum of 30 minutes.

AN HOUR AGO

Bringing them on

in the second half could be better.

Should I invite them on

in the second half?

I wondered whether to bring my guest on

in the first or second half.

I should change course.

I think I should invite my guest

in the second half.

I won't finish within the top five anyway,

so I decided to go all in

with my guest during the second half.

Dasha Taran has

about five million followers on Instagram.

My goal is to bring in her fans

to be my viewers.

-Hey!

-Hi!

My goodness!

-My goodness!

-Hey, Sia!

Hello, fans of Sia!

DASHA TARAN, MODEL

I thought having a guest

in the first half would be an advantage.

When Dasha joined my live stream,

my viewer count hit about 9,000.

THE SPICINESS OF K-FOOD

I just

I can't eat more of this.

I felt really grateful.

Hiccups?

For real?

Inviting today's guest

was not an easy feat.

-Hello!

-Hello!

-Everyone, it's Seor In-a!

-Hello.

SEOR IN-A

ACTRESS

Welcome!

Everyone's complimenting your looks.

The chat's going by so quickly.

Can you read all these?

They're really flashing by.

I'm worried our In-a

won't be able to read them.

OUR IN-A???????????

The chat flashed by at the speed of light.

Even with 10,000 or 20,000 viewers,

the chat usually isn't that fast.

I was shocked

by how fast the comments flew by.

-Hello, everyone.

-It's nice to have you on.

I'm Lee Sang-h*, a streamer.

-Yes.

-I'm mostly a gaming streamer.

Sang-h* is a big name on AfreecaTV.

He usually gets

about 10,000 to 20,000 viewers.

I was relieved to see

my viewer count go up once he came on.

I was like, "About 1,500."

That's how it really went.

-Oh my.

-What's going on?

Come here.

THAT GUY SHOULD PAY MORE TAXES

At first, I thought of

bringing in my guests later,

but it seemed better

to use my guests

to get more viewers early on.

I have nothing to say

I got it wrong.

JO HOON, COMEDY CREATOR

HYEDA, MUSIC CONTENT CREATOR

GET OFF MY ALGORITHM, DR. HONG!

-I have nothing to say

-I have nothing to say

WHEN GUESTS JOINED THE STREAMS

Yong-jin really did a lot

to try to draw attention.

A lot of his viewers came onto my chat

and told my viewers to watch his stream.

I've always thought that Yong-jin

knows how to play

these types of games best,

and today confirmed that.

Okay, it's been ten minutes.

My viewer count is at 6,998

No, it's 7,005.

I'll reveal my monthly pay.

I'm nervous to see how you'll all respond.

Here I go.

Do you see it?

I made 6,944,760 won.

That was my monthly pay.

WHERE DID YOU SPEND IT ALL?

WAIT, THAT'S IT?

Were you expecting more?

I've known from the beginning

that the hottest topic for viewers

is figuring out how much YouTubers make.

That's a basic question

that many are curious about.

I wanted to prolong their viewing

by continuing

to hold on to their attention.

What you should all know

is that I also get incentives.

I'll tell you how much I get

if I can keep 8,000 viewers.

Just wait and you can find out.

"At the 20 minute mark,

I'll reveal something

much more interesting than my earnings."

You can ask me more sensitive

and personal questions.

I'll answer them every ten minutes.

I'm an attention seeker?

Well, seeking attention is my job.

Hello, everyone.

GVAN

DRAG ARTIS

Hi!

Hey, everyone. I love you all.

Hi!

Live streaming isn't my forte,

THIS IS THE BEST LOL

I'm not picky.

I'm at an age where I can't be picky,

"Wear a wig." All right.

I'm going to use this comb

to make the wig look natural.

25TH CHAHONG

"Why is no one watching

when he has a lot of subscribers?"

It's because I'm not someone

who usually does live streams!

I'm really trying my best here.

That's how I've lasted

eight years with you guys.

CONFESSING THROUGH KAKAOTALK!

IT'S MY TURN NOW!

I'm very serious right now.

I feel a bit nervous,

so I hope you can all appreciate

how brave I had to be

to even write this story down.

I'm Junwoo, and I'm a YouTuber

who fixes people's problems

through KakaoTalk.

I have 1.21 million subscribers.

Today will be a bit different

than what I usually do.

Usually, I receive stories from my viewers

and fix their problems for them,

help them ask people out,

or even pick out lies.

Instead of helping my viewers,

today I'm going to create content

based on my personal matter.

I'm so embarrassed to admit this.

"I have a crush on a girl,

and I'm going to ask her out."

THIS MUST BE REAL, HE'S EMBARRASSED

WHO IS THE GIRL?

I'M ALREADY CRYING

This is crazy.

YOU CAN DO IT!

LET'S GO!

YOU ARE A TRUE YOUTUBER

I'M ROOTING FOR YOU!

I'll send her a message first.

She might not reply right away.

THIS IS GOING TO BE LEGENDARY

ARE YOU CONFESSING THROUGH TEXT?

"What's up?"

I can't go back now.

HE SENT IT LOL

WHAT'S UP???????

Let's do this.

JUNWOO, I'LL BID YOU GOODBYE HERE

I started to wrack my brain,

wondering how to confess to her.

So I enlisted the help of a guest

who has been a longtime friend of mine.

Ailee agreed to help me.

-Welcome.

-Hi!

What's up?

-Thanks for coming.

-You're asking someone out?

Are you really?

Oh my god!

-I feel so awkward!

-My heart's pounding.

Oh my goodness.

AILEE

SINGER

-How do I ask her out?

-Why did you send, "What's up?"

-What should I have sent?

-"Where are you?"

Oh my gosh. This is for real.

Maybe she rejected you already.

She read it!

-Oh my.

-She's calling me!

She's calling me!

She's calling me right now.

What are you going to do?

What do I do?

-I won't answer the call for now.

-Don't pick up just yet.

Yes, just reply to her on KakaoTalk.

Ask her where she is.

-I watch his videos a lot.

-Let me reply.

CAN WE TALK THROUGH TEXT?

She read it right away.

-Oh my goodness!

-Oh my gosh!

-"Why won't you pick up?"

-She replied!

-Her messages are really cute.

-She replied more.

"Nope, I'm not busy."

I'm feeling something between you two!

Why am I getting excited?

Why don't you just go for it?

I'll say I have a crush on someone.

I'll say

I HAVE A CRUSH ON SOMEONE

"And I wanted to ask you

how to ask her out."

-Why am I getting butterflies?

-What if my parents are watching this?

This is driving me crazy.

I'm sorry, my future children.

If I succeed here,

we could even get married.

I BET HE ALREADY IMAGINED

HIS GRANDCHILDREN

AILEE CAN SING AT HIS WEDDING LOL

GETTING MARRIED AFTER FOUR TEXTS

She's replying so quickly.

AREN'T YOU THE ONE

WHO ASKS PEOPLE OUT FOR OTHERS?

It's so funny

-that so many are watching this.

-So many viewers are watching.

-A lot more than I expected.

-How do you see the count?

Right here.

Oh my.

-Almost 20,000 are watching.

-Exactly.

-"Where did you meet her?"

-"Is she a YouTuber?"

Should I make a joke

and change the subject?

Instead of being vague,

you should be more obvious.

-More obvious?

-Yes.

-Right now?

-Yes.

Tell her, "There's this cute girl."

"There's this cute girl."

I'm so embarrassed!

My ultimate goal is to date her,

so that's my focus.

WAIT, DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON ME?

-Oh my god!

-Oh my gosh!

It's getting hot.

-It's getting hot in here!

-What do I do?

ANSWER HER RIGHT NOW

SAY YES

What I say next is so important.

I'm so nervous.

Do I ask her out right now?

-What do you all think?

-Something feels missing.

They're saying to take it seriously.

Half of them want me to be playful

and the rest want me to be serious.

-Should I be serious or playful?

-Just say, "Yes."

"Do you want to go out with me?"

Send that.

-"Yes. Do you want to go out with me?"

-Yeah.

Sure, I'll just do as you say.

YOU'RE RIGHT, I LIKE YOU

Oh my goodness!

DO YOU WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME?

You sent it already?

Oh my gosh! Wait.

Don't look at this.

I'll read her reply for you.

Oh my goodness!

Oh my goodness.

DO YOU WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME?

COULD YOU RESPOND?

-Don't pressure her.

-Don't?

NO

YOU PRESSURED HER

-You should've waited.

-No!

-You should've waited.

-No!

-It's all right.

-I was too hasty.

-She should reply.

-She read it.

What if this doesn't go well?

Am I getting turned down?

DO I HAVE TO ANSWER YOU RIGHT NOW?

"She might have a boyfriend."

You think it's going bad?

It's the 50 minute mark, everyone.

Fifty minutes.

So how much does my channel make?

How much is 93,000 dollars in won?

That's 120 million won.

Do I pocket all of that?

No, I don't. Just a minute.

I can't let you leave.

Since it's the 50 minute mark,

at 56 minutes

AT 56 MINUTES I'LL REVEAL

SOMETHING MORE INTERESTING

Just wait a bit more

and I'll reveal something bigger.

I didn't know my plan

would work that well.

The only other time

I've had 9,000 to 10,000 viewers

was when I had to explain myself

after The Money Game.

I wasn't worried at all.

But influencers

with mostly global fans should be.

It's likely that the TikTokers

don't have live streaming experience.

This could be bad for them.

TIME FOR THE GUEST TO LEAVE

-I had so much fun today!

-Me too.

-Bye!

-Bye!

Take care on your way back.

-Sia!

-Bye!

I sort of just froze on the spot

because I didn't know what to do.

A lot went through my mind.

TikTok is all about

repeating simple content.

TikTokers are built for sprints,

not marathons.

It's so hot in here.

An hour of live streaming

feels really long.

What else

KEJIMIN

TIKTOK CREATOR

Namaste. And

When you're streaming,

you need to keep doing stuff.

You can't just sit there

doing nothing.

I wasn't sure how I should continue.

I thought, "This is a disaster."

"I guess I'm getting eliminated."

I felt anxious.

Honestly, if you're boring,

you deserve to go home.

One minute left in the first half.

Do you want to know what's going on?

Then watch my stream.

I'll explain everything.

Knowing that I had to go big or go home,

I went all out.

Counting down

to the end of the first half.

No!

Guys!

-Ten, nine,

-I have to go now!

eight,

seven,

six,

five,

-four,

-I have nothing to say

three,

-Give me energy!

-two,

one.

Send me all of your energy, viewers!

See you in the second half!

This concludes the first half.

Good job.

-You changed a lot.

-You became someone else.

-My gosh.

-Good job, everyone.

-Your face!

-This is crazy.

Do I look rich?

I tried my best.

You look like Elsa.

-Thank you.

-Or a snow fairy.

Thank you.

Here are the results

of the first half of Round 2.

Here are the survivors of the first half.

-In first place

-Oh my god.

Jang Keun-suk's the most dangerous

since he has a lot of followers.

When it comes to live streaming,

OKING is king.

OKING, Jin Yong-jin, and Jang Ji-sou

are the most intimidating contestants.

-In first place

-First place!

Are you competing

for the number of viewers?

1ST, OKING

I expected to see myself

finishing at the top.

Fortune is in my favor.

That's a lot of viewers.

He had more than 10,000?

Junwoo.

2ND, JUNWOO

STREAMER & YOUTUBER

4TH, JIN YONG-JIN

PEAK VIEWER COUNT: 11,155

In fifth place

Juice Seyeon.

5TH, JUICE SEYEON

AFREECATV STREAMER

Her average viewer count was 5,101.

5TH, JUICE SEYEON

PEAK VIEWER COUNT: 7,933

The top five influencers of the first half

will move on to Round 3.

Congratulations.

What the heck?

Here are the eliminated influencers

of the first half.

The eliminated?

We'll find out who's going home?

This is brutal.

"Risk your life and live.

Save your life and die."

But at that moment, I just wanted to live.

I just wanted to survive the first half.

I was praying during that moment.

I was afraid I might be in trouble.

In 30th place,

Queen WA$ABII.

30TH, QUEEN WA$ABII, ELIMINATED

Do you rarely stream live?

-I rarely do.

-Really?

-It's all right.

-In 27th

Thank you.

CHAHONG.

-CHAHONG.

-Oh my goodness.

No!

This is way too brutal.

Her average viewer count was 331.

-I'm probably around here.

-In 26th

I'm probably going home.

Caddiewanny.

26TH, CADDIEWANNY, ELIMINATED

GOLF YOUTUBER

I thought I might have heard wrong.

I didn't expect to finish in 26th place.

I honestly prepared

so much for my live stream.

I wanted to do well,

so it hurts that I got eliminated.

Here is the final ranking

for the first half of Round 2.

I'm probably 25th.

I think I'm 25th.

ROUND 2, FIRST HALF RANKING

FIRST HALF, 6TH

JANG KEUN-SUK

No!

FIRST HALF, 7TH

JANG JI-SOU

I was so close.

FIRST HALF, 9TH

DAEDO

-I'll join you. Wait for me.

-Sure.

FIRST HALF, 12TH

CHANGHYUN

I'll survive no matter what.

To be honest,

I'm pretty happy about finishing 13th.

FIRST HALF, 25TH

GVAN

You didn't do that bad!

I was surprised I wasn't last.

Most of us can't have guests on anymore.

That means the viewer count

will drop a lot.

Going home in the second half

would be horrible.

-The worst!

-What should I do in the second half?

I didn't really think about it.

Reality's hitting me.

Me too.

FIRST HALF, 23RD

RISABAE

I realized I should

do live streams more regularly.

-I realized that too.

-Exactly.

I'm probably going home today

with you, CHAHONG.

Don't say that.

-Good job.

-You too.

You need to survive

-and save face.

-I don't think I can at this point.

-Are your rivals too strong?

-I think it's over for beauty creators.

30 MINUTES LATER

I'm sorry.

So many thoughts went through my head.

I wasn't sure how to feel.

I had a lapse in judgment.

My heart was pounding,

and my hands were trembling.

I wasn't expecting this result at all.

Turn the cameras off!

I'll pay the penalty!

I'm ashamed to be on something like this.

I wondered what on earth I was doing.

It made me so angry.

Just a minute!

Please!

-You have to do it now!

-Okay.

-Oh no.

-Let's go! Come on!

I don't care!

Hey!
