Numerous influencers in Korea compete to determine who has the utmost influence on social media.

01x03 - Strategy or Luck

Post by bunniefuu »

Excluding the survivors

and the eliminated from the first half,

the remaining 20 influencers

will prepare for the second half.

Let's go!

Let's do this.

Just keep doing you.

Don't try too hard to be something else.

The five survivors of the first half

may observe the second half

from the lounge.

Gosh, they must feel so nervous.

This is going to be intense.

Influencers,

once the second half begins,

survivors and eliminated contestants

will be determined

every five minutes.

People will survive

and get eliminated every five minutes.

It's going to be humiliating

and nerve-racking.

A good start is key

since I could get eliminated

every five minutes.

The influencer with the most viewers

will survive every five minutes,

while the one with the lowest viewers

will be eliminated at the same time.

I'm so scared.

Starting now,

the second half of Round 2 will begin.

Let's do this.

Five,

four,

-three, two,

-Let's go!

one.

Please start watching.

CHANGHYUN

AFREECATV STREAMER & YOUTUBER

Come on, get hyped!

BBOGUMI

STREAMER & YOUTUBER

Hello, everyone.

Welcome.

Hello!

GVAN

DRAG ARTIS

Hello, everyone.

IAMKATIECUTIE

SHAMAN

I promise you this will be fun.

DOCTOR WHO

TIKTOK CREATOR

This is my last chance,

so I'll eat everything here.

Don't leave.

This outfit

usually gets me the most views.

MYBOO

COSPLAY CREATOR

I got more than

11 million views with this outfit,

so I hope it draws viewers in.

Welcome.

DAEDO

FIRST-GEN GAMING YOUTUBER

Thank you to the 2,866 viewers

tuning in right now.

Hello, this is Jang Keun-suk.

Unlike my live stream from the first half,

I'm going to try to match your energy

a bit more this time.

Hi, guys!

SIAJIWOO

TIKTOK CREATOR

Whenever I go live, so many fans tune in.

Welcome!

Please help me.

I'm back again.

JANG JI-SOU

CONTENT CREATOR

This is driving me crazy.

LOOKS LIKE YOU MADE I

I actually didn't make it

to the next round yet.

Since I didn't make it in the first half,

I didn't think I had a chance

in the second half.

I anticipated that having guests on

would help me a lot.

And yet, I still didn't make it

in the top five of the first half.

I wasn't confident

I'd do well by myself in the second half.

I was distraught.

I've been live streaming for seven years,

and this is my most stressful moment.

I'm begging everyone to stay

for just ten more minutes.

I've never begged like this

on a live stream before.

How was your day?

I'm sure you all made memories

in your own way.

I've tried doing live streams on YouTube

and also on Instagram.

I wasn't expecting to finish

in the top four,

but I thought I could at least

make it to fifth place.

That's what I thought,

but that wasn't the case.

And so, I tried to go all out

preparing for the second half,

but then I thought, "Wait a minute."

"I shouldn't burden

or stress out my followers

by being sad and looking down

about my situation."

I felt that I should just wrap up the day

together with my viewers.

So we took out all the props

and cleaned and organized the room.

I also asked

for warm and comfortable lighting

that would be perfect

for a drink at the end of the day.

I'll move around in my seat

during my live stream.

Good evening, everyone.

I'm glad you made it through the day.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK

I'm sorry for making you wait.

For my second live stream,

I wanted to share a drink

with all of you after a long day.

I brought this drink from home

for this occasion.

Let's cheers, everyone.

KANPAI

You made it through the day.

He really is a celebrity.

He has global viewers.

-What is it?

-What?

Wow.

-Who is it?

-What is it?

Oh my goodness.

-What's going on?

-Pyo Eun-ji is taking her clothes off.

What?

She has 2,300 viewers.

-She's wild.

-That's a lot of viewers.

-She has 2,300.

-She's doing a lookbook.

She does this often on her channel.

COME AND SEE SOMETHING NICE!

MY FIRST LIVE LOOKBOOK

Hello.

Hello, my name is Pyo Eun-ji.

I'm currently working as a model

in both Japan and Korea.

I have around 1.95 million subscribers

on YouTube.

Before I became a model,

I worked at an investment firm.

I know it's unexpected,

but I majored in accounting

and got a job in the field.

I'm someone

who feels like a girl next door,

but at the same time,

I mainly make sexy content.

So there's a twist.

Today, I'm going to do a live lookbook.

It's my first time doing this live.

I hope more viewers come!

Please join my stream!

For this live stream, I brought some ideas

from my lookbooks with the highest views.

But I wasn't sure how it would go

since this was my first live lookbook.

And for this round,

you need to draw viewers very quickly,

so I had to use my cheat code.

Thankfully, I got a lot of support

from my Taiwanese viewers.

I actually wore this not long ago.

A lot of people loved it.

One million views.

I wore this in a video

that got more than one million views.

Yes!

WHO GOES TO WORK LIKE THAT? LOL

Thank you, guys.

You guys are saving me.

You're keeping me alive in this round.

How do I look?

I LOVE I

WHERE DID ALL THESE PEOPLE COME FROM?

This is my office look.

A lot of people loved this look.

YOU LOOK AMAZING

SO PRETTY

Next.

Next.

She keeps getting more viewers.

What the heck?

The fortune telling stream

is doing so well.

Hello, everyone. Good to see you.

I'm Dohwadore,

and I'm here to tell your fortune.

Hello.

I'm a man who cares more

about your birthdate than your name.

I'm Dohwadore, and I'm a YouTuber.

If you search

"saju fortune telling" on YouTube,

you'll find me at the very top.

I was probably

the first YouTuber to teach people

how to tell their own fortunes.

I'm going to talk about love fortunes

since it's the start of the new year.

It's something everyone's curious about,

so I think this will keep me

from getting eliminated.

Love fortunes are very interesting.

My viewer count right now is 2,833.

Wake up, everyone.

Dohwadore is going to

talk about love fortunes.

Bring your grandparents, your parents,

and your exes to this stream.

I've figured out

some shocking events

that might happen in 2024

in terms of love fortunes.

And then I'll also tell you

who will be lucky lovers in 2024

and who will be either unlucky

or experience breakups.

Why is this important?

You need to find out

where you stand in both areas.

And that's because

there are two people in a relationship.

Let's say your fortune is good

but your partner is meant to break up.

What would happen then?

Share your thoughts in the comments.

WOULD ONE PERSON INITIATE A BREAKUP?

IT WOULD END BADLY?

That's right.

If your fortune is to date,

you might fall in love too easily

or fail to see red flags.

But if the other person

is meant to break up,

they'll be quicker to evaluate you.

Ultimately, you might end up

losing the upper hand in the relationship.

You should be aware of these things

so you can be a strategist

when it comes to relationships.

I'M SORRY

Hello, everyone.

I'm back.

Hello, I'm BBOGUMI, and I'm a streamer

who takes money from my male viewers

on Twitch and YouTube.

Hello, everyone.

I'm a girl too, okay?

Why can't you tell me I'm pretty?

I'm pretty, okay? Tell me I am!

Give me your money since I'm pretty!

SO SHINY

I'm so f annoyed.

My viewers love

to taunt and make fun of me.

That's why I'm going to try

to annoy my viewers.

I'll annoy them

and get punished for it in real time

by spinning a roulette with options

that aren't too inappropriate.

Let's spin the roulette right away.

What will it be?

COME ON, JUMP ROPE ON GRAVEL

RUBBING YOUR EYES WITH LEMON

Three, two, one.

THROW STRAWBERRY POWDER,

FLOUR, AND WATER MIXTURE ON FACE

"Mix strawberry powder, flour, and water

and throw it on your face."

I don't know how this will go.

Three, two, one.

LOL

YOU LOOK LIKE A HOPPFISH

If I still get eliminated,

I'm burning everything down.

DAEDO'S IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMEN

FOR 2024

More viewers need to come in

for me to survive.

That's why I've prepared

a lot of content for you today.

Yong-jin and PaniBottle

knew best how to play this game.

They teased a big announcement

or said they would delete their channel.

They raised the stakes.

I wanted to clickbait my viewers like them

by making a "big announcement."

The first big announcement I want to make

is that my fandom name

is no longer "DaeViewers"

and is now "DaeWarriors."

My fans will now be called "DaeWarriors."

IT REALLY IS A BIG ANNOUNCEMEN

Moving on to my next announcement.

In the middle of last year,

I announced my divorce.

We divorced on good terms.

I'm not seeking out a relationship,

but by the end of the year,

I might happen to be in one.

A SELF-REVEAL OMG

A PLANNED SCANDAL LOL

I might date someone. Who knows?

Continuing on

with another big announcement.

I suffer from severe rhinitis.

You may have noticed

that I sniffle quite a lot.

So I might get surgery for that this year.

THAT SURGERY TAKES JUST 20 MINUTES

A REALLY BIG ANNOUNCEMEN

IT MUST BE HARD TO COME UP WITH

BOGUS BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS

Everything I've said is true.

HOW MANY ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE THERE?

ARE THERE 10 MORE LEFT?

"How many announcements"

"Are there ten more left?"

Should I wear my Spider-Man outfit next?

I guess I don't have much time.

I might get eliminated at any moment.

I need to hurry.

-The time is

-Jeez.

What was that?

There it is.

In one minute,

we will announce who survives

and who is eliminated.

What was that sound?

Just a minute!

There's going to be a big announcement.

I'm scared. What's happening?

I'm going home, everybody.

I'm probably done.

It's not me, is it? It's not over, right?

You can still see me, right?

Instant noodles

I hadn't even noticed

the screen to the side,

but it was there.

I had no time to even notice it.

Here are the potential survivors

and eliminated contestants.

1ST DAEDO, 2ND JANG KEUN-SUK,

3RD PYO EUN-JI

18TH NEEDMORECASH, 19TH SHERRY,

20TH WETBOY

"Why aren't you telling us

the most important announcement?"

DAEDO

ESTIMATED RANKING: 1S

Actually, I can't tell you right now.

I'm sorry.

JANG KEUN-SUK

ESTIMATED RANKING: 2ND

Instant noodles taste best

when you eat them uncooked like this.

PYO EUN-JI

ESTIMATED RANKING: 3RD

You're doing great, everybody.

Make your friends watch.

NEEDMORECASH

ESTIMATED RANKING: 18TH

I need more viewers!

I thought you didn't care!

SHERRY

ESTIMATED RANKING: 19TH

I'll start things off with some dancing.

WETBOY

ESTIMATED RANKING: 20TH

Whatever happens, happens.

I'm probably getting eliminated,

so I'll go live on Instagram more often.

THE STREAM HAS ENDED

What? It turned off.

1ST, DAEDO, SURVIVED

LAST COUNT: 5,584 VIEWERS

Thank you so much.

I was very happy.

But at the same time,

I felt so bad for the person

who got eliminated

because they had to leave

without even getting to say goodbye.

It's just brutal and scary.

This will probably

be aired a long time after.

THE STREAM HAS ENDED

So this is how it ends.

I already said goodbye.

I'm glad.

20TH, WETBOY, ELIMINATED

LAST COUNT: 60 VIEWERS

Okay.

-Where's the exit?

-WETBOY.

-Good job. You got this!

-You did great.

There he is.

Congratulations!

-Lucky!

-So you're out right away?

-Good job.

-It was easy.

-Thank you.

-I knew you'd survive.

Thank you.

I knew you'd make it.

In five minutes,

we will announce who survives

and who is eliminated.

I survived for now, everyone.

My stream could've turned off,

but it didn't, thanks to all of you.

f*cking hell.

Okay!

I'm going to do my best!

I feel relaxed now.

I wore this Spider-Man outfit

for a cosplay lookbook.

It got 7.13 million views.

SO PRETTY

The back especially

looks great.

SHE'S HAVING A GREAT TIME HAHA

MYBOO

COSPLAY CREATOR

I wanted to do well in the first half,

but I couldn't imagine myself

finishing in the top five.

So I decided to bring my guests in

for the second half.

I'M SO EXCITED

YOU NEED TO SURVIVE

YOU'RE ALL SO PRETTY

In one minute,

we will announce who survives

and who is eliminated.

2ND: JANG KEUN-SUK

I'd go back to my hotel room

and enjoy the night view

while eating instant noodles.

3RD: PYO EUN-JI

I also wore this Pikachu outfit

for my cosplay lookbook.

It's all coming back to me.

It feels like I'm back in Japan.

This is dangerous.

THE STREAM HAS ENDED

What? Did it turn off?

Did it turn off?

Did I survive?

2ND, PYO EUN-JI, SURVIVED

LAST COUNT: 3,666 VIEWERS

It was exciting to finish in a higher spot

than I had expected.

19TH, SHERRY, ELIMINATED

LAST COUNT: 192 VIEWERS

In the first half,

the gap between me

and the top spots wasn't that big.

So I thought I'd survive pretty easily.

But I think I had a lapse in judgment.

When I saw that Pyo Eun-ji

finished above me,

my heart was pounding,

and my hands were trembling.

I'll use a spoon

instead of a bottle opener.

ARE YOU OKAY?

Don't panic.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE PANICKING

All right, let's not panic.

Please invite your fellow Eels

and tell them

to watch my stream right now.

It's not bedtime yet.

Please wake up, Eels.

No matter what anyone says

I choose Jang Keun-suk

Even if they don't let me

I choose Jang Keun-suk

He's drinking Japanese whisky.

I'm sure he'll survive

since he has a large fandom.

3RD: JANG KEUN-SUK

Sometimes I go to restaurants

and sing like this.

4TH: DOHWADORE

People born in the Year of the Rooster

had tough years from 2020 to 2023,

but life will get better for them in 2024.

Let's see how Ji-sou is doing.

He's suddenly doing bad.

But he was seventh in the first half.

There's a big gap now.

Needmorecash isn't doing so well.

He only has 224 viewers.

Ji-sou has 280. They're almost level.

Ji-sou's going home.

But he finished so high in Round 1.

This is bad.

I saw our names on the screen.

It showed who survived

and who got eliminated.

I saw that the eliminated and I

had similar viewer counts.

I knew I was done,

but I still tried to give it my all.

I'm in big trouble.

Just stay for ten minutes.

Use a clickbait title?

Give me ideas.

Tell me how to draw attention.

Just throw out ideas.

"Change it to 'I'll reveal my earnings.'"

"Quaddurup is back."

QUADDURUP IS BACK

Is this good?

Will this work?

IT NEEDS TO HAVE MORE PUNCH

"I'll reveal my ex-girlfriend

who was an AfreecaTV streamer."

I'll do whatever I can.

REVEALING MY AFREECATV STREAMER EX-GF

CHANGE IT TO SOMETHING ELSE

How many times

do I have to change the title?

What do you want me to do?

Should I do the Zero Two dance?

MY EYES!

SUPPLY WITHOUT DEMAND LOL

MY EYES ARE RUINED, BYE

I just couldn't get more viewers.

I was in trouble.

YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING

LET'S LEAVE, EVERYONE

This is what you've all wanted to know.

I BET YOU'LL HAVE MORE VIEWERS

IF YOU TALK IN THAT CHARACTER

Father!

All right, I'll talk!

Please join my stream!

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM TALK IN THAT SUI

YOU'RE ACTUALLY TALKING LOL

-Please!

-He never talks in this outfit!

Isn't this too provocative?

I've never titled my stream like this.

In one minute,

we will announce who survives

and who is eliminated.

Wake up all your fellow Eels.

It would make me very happy

if more of you watched.

Come on.

I want to survive.

This doesn't matter!

THE STREAM HAS ENDED

Jang Keun-suk survived.

Needmorecash is eliminated!

I survived.

3RD, JANG KEUN-SUK, SURVIVED

LAST COUNT: 3,280 VIEWERS

No matter what anyone says

I choose Jang Keun-suk

Ultimately

I choose Jang Keun-suk!

18TH, NEEDMORECASH, ELIMINATED

LAST COUNT: 307 VIEWERS

I won't look at the screen

even if it makes noises.

I don't care

if I get eliminated at this point.

I'm turning the screen around.

I'm not looking at this.

I feel so anxious. Damn you, producers!

Jeez!

Hey!

You can't do this to me!

WHY IS HE ANGRY?

HE'S TRYING TO GET ATTENTION LOL

I decided to clickbait

to survive at least a bit more.

Baiting people is key.

-I'm hoping for 800, 900, or 1,000.

-Please!

-That's my hope.

-Even just 900!

-You have to do it now!

-Okay.

-Gosh.

-Just do it.

This is a fight for the most viewers.

I decided to bait people

and go to the extreme.

All right.

SHE'S ACTUALLY SHAVING I

YOU CHOSE TO DO THIS

I FEEL LIKE YOUR BROWS ARE DIRTY

YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING IT?

Mom, I bragged to everyone

about being on a Netflix show.

But this is what I'm doing, Mom.

-She's shaving her brows.

-Goodness.

Oh my goodness.

They're all so desperate to survive.

Baiting people requires skill though.

-Right.

-You have to do everything.

Don't leave my stream, everyone.

Oh no.

Let's go! Come on!

17TH, MIN CHAN-GI, ELIMINATED

LAST COUNT: 391 VIEWERS

4TH, DOHWADORE, SURVIVED

LAST COUNT: 2,820 VIEWERS

Those two are so close.

They're only separated

by 10 to 20 viewers.

-Please stay with me.

-Come on.

-Please like this stream!

-It's not over yet.

THE STREAM HAS ENDED

16TH, GVAN, ELIMINATED

LAST COUNT: 531 VIEWERS

I survived.

5TH, CHANGHYUN, SURVIVED

LAST COUNT: 2,384 VIEWERS

6TH, BBOGUMI, SURVIVED

15TH, JUNGHYUN, ELIMINATED

I made it!

6TH, BBOGUMI, SURVIVED

LAST COUNT: 2,012 VIEWERS

I traded my eyebrow for this victory.

15TH, JUNGHYUN, ELIMINATED

LAST COUNT: 684 VIEWERS

I was so upset and

I'm so scared.

I'm so scared right now, everyone.

I don't care!

What are we, hamsters?

You can't just lock us up in here

and make us spin the wheel.

Let's go, Netflix!

Who's making all that noise?

I've gone beyond being irritated.

It made me so angry.

I learned through this experience

that I shouldn't try to bait people.

All right, I'm doing it.

I'm going to speak my truth.

SPEAKING MY TRUTH ABOUT NETFLIX

Was this arranged with Netflix?

Of course not.

Turn the cameras off!

This one, that one, and that one.

Turn them off. I'll pay the penalty.

Blur my face.

I'm ashamed to be on something like this.

Ji-sou's viewer count went up to 700.

-That's amazing.

-It keeps increasing.

He changed the title

to "Speaking My Truth About Netflix."

I guess he panicked.

What?

This is really unexpected.

I got eliminated.

I had 244 viewers

when my stream turned off.

I've never gone live on Instagram

and had such a low viewer count,

but someone kept commenting

"f*ck you" in the chat,

and I had to delete them myself.

So as I was deleting those comments

My live stream is down.

THE STREAM HAS ENDED

RECONNECTING

This can't be happening.

I'm sorry.

YOU ARE LIVE!

THE STREAM HAS ENDED

14TH, SIAJIWOO, ELIMINATED

LAST COUNT: 224 VIEWERS

I think being lucky is a skill too,

so I accept the results.

7TH, MYBOO, SURVIVED

LAST COUNT: 1,584 VIEWERS

I'm amazed by Ji-sou.

Ji-sou began with 170 viewers

but raised that to 1,000.

-It's crazy.

-What's he talking about?

He's dissing Netflix.

Why are all of us content creators here?

We're not here for money.

We're here because we trust Netflix.

But we've been forced

to bait and draw people's attention

in ways most of us have never done before

and will never be able to use again.

We can't get sponsored,

and we can't post these videos on YouTube.

Get it together!

If I get to survive,

I'm not going to participate

in any games like this.

SAY IT LOUDER

JI-SOU'S GOING ALL OU

I started with about 200 viewers,

but once I started dissing Netflix,

it went up to about 800 to 1,000.

I knew it was working.

I'm tired of this! Turn my stream off!

YOUR LIVE IS THE BES

THIS IS FUN

You're enjoying this?

Whatever.

I don't care anymore.

Just turn the cameras off.

I wonder how long I'll survive.

If all of you help me by watching,

could I survive?

In my opinion,

there's a big difference

between my subscribers

and other influencers' subscribers.

First of all, my subscribers

are asleep by that time.

I've never gone live at such a time.

I'M SO SLEEPY

CAN YOU STREAM AT AN EARLIER TIME?

"Go live again at an earlier time

when we're all awake."

My little ladies and gentlemen,

you prefer the day, right?

The people watching me now

are fighting off sleep just to watch this.

Wake them all up? How can I do that?

I really want to wake everyone up

so they can help me.

"Change your stream title."

What should I change it to?

Something like,

"Thank you for everything until now"?

"My tearful request."

"Time to say goodbye"

sounds too much like the end.

WHAT ABOUT "MY LAST REQUEST"?

"My last request"?

I've never named my streams

anything like that.

So many people in the comments

told me that I should try

changing things up

and use different titles and thumbnails.

I had given up already,

but my viewers

were still pushing me to keep trying.

I'll change it to "My Tearful Request."

MY TEARFUL REQUES

I'm worried people will be shocked.

Please invite more people.

WHEN DO YOU USUALLY SLEEP?

When do I usually sleep?

I don't think

I'll be able to sleep after this.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to bed."

No!

I'M STAYING AWAKE THROUGH SHEER WILL

I see.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for not letting you sleep.

"Can I leave it on and doze off a bit?"

Yes, you could do that.

Oh dear.

DON'T CRY

I'M TEARING UP TOO

I'LL STAY UNTIL THE END

DON'T CRY

DON'T FEEL SORRY

WHO MADE YOU CRY?

DON'T CRY

JUST LEAVE IT ON WHILE YOU SLEEP

I'm sorry.

Someone commented,

"Can I leave it on and doze off a bit?"

I felt so sorry when I read that

and started to cry.

I'm sorry.

I want to finish this look

because I know how much you all

are interested in makeup.

I'll stay strong.

8TH, RISABAE, SURVIVED

LAST COUNT: 2,125 VIEWERS

My stream turned off.

13TH, IAMKATIECUTIE, ELIMINATED

LAST COUNT: 700 VIEWERS

-Risabae!

-Yes?

-Did you cry?

-Yes.

Why are you crying?

Don't cry.

-Risabae.

-Hey.

-Good job.

-Thank you.

It's all right, I cried too.

You're fine.

-You did great.

-I know how you feel.

My viewers were trying so hard to help me.

They were giving up sleep

just to stay with me.

-That's how much your fans love you.

-That's right.

-My viewers all made fun of me.

-I felt so sorry and grateful.

She shaved her eyebrow.

-Did you actually shave it?

-Yes.

Oh my goodness. I'll draw you a new one.

-Please draw it in the next round.

-I got you.

Is it just me now?

Why don't I hear anything?

How am I still surviving?

I just wanted to speak my mind

and get eliminated.

My friends were all like,

"You're going on Netflix?"

"You made it, man."

"You're a superstar, Ji-sou."

Superstar, my foot.

What the hell am I doing here?

IT'S A WHINING SHOW

LOL

"Whoever lasts the longest wins, right?"

I have no idea.

I still have the screen turned.

I don't even know

why my stream is still on.

"You won"?

No, I think they forgot about me

and went home.

YOU'RE OU

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE ON AFREECATV

"You're out"?

EVERYONE'S GONE

Wait, I'm the only one live right now?

I'm the only streamer on AfreecaTV

with this background?

YES, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE LEF

Does that mean I'm last?

I'm left with no choice.

I'm going to review Disney Plus shows.

PLEASE DO I

THAT'S A BOLD MOVE

IT'LL GET EDITED OU

SHUT HIM UP!

I honestly prefer

Disney Plus and Coupang Play more.

Let's see who wins.

I'm going to watch something

on Coupang Play.

I'm going to take a crap here.

-He's hilarious.

-Right?

-Ji-sou's funny.

-He really is.

I'll keep going the more viewers I get.

While you're all here, please comment

"LGJ" or "Let's go, Ji-sou."

I want to feel the energy

of people cheering me on.

LGJ

LGJ

I can feel the energy!

Hey, everyone.

GATO

TIKTOK CREATOR

Focus!

I was so nervous.

I didn't want to be

the last remaining streamer.

"This is a speed game, right?"

KEJIMIN

TIKTOK CREATOR

Where's the flag of Nepal?

My heart was pounding so hard.

I really didn't want to go home.

What's going on?

THE STREAM HAS ENDED

I survived.

9TH, JANG JI-SOU, SURVIVED

LAST COUNT: 1,706 VIEWERS

That's a relief.

-There you go, Ji-sou!

-Ji-sou's amazing.

-He had 1,706 viewers.

-It's crazy.

-He's really something.

-He is.

Round 2 was Ji-sou's round.

His viewer count

skyrocketed all of a sudden like magic.

I was on the verge of being eliminated

before I mentioned Netflix.

Then I started dissing on Netflix.

Please help me.

Please just stay for ten minutes.

Even if I survive, I'll quit the show.

We're not here for money.

We're here because we trust Netflix.

You can't just do

whatever you want, Netflix.

Get it together!

People loved that.

My viewer count skyrocketed

once I did that.

I survived once more.

12TH, GATO, ELIMINATED

LAST COUNT: 682 VIEWERS

-GATO got eliminated.

-You're right.

The ones who were at the top are all out.

All the TikTokers got eliminated.

-You're right.

-Right.

Good job.

-Ji-sou, your stream

-What's up?

-So much respect, man.

-We were all watching it.

PaniBottle was so worried about you

when you had 200 viewers.

I feel like I'm going to cry.

-We all cried.

-Everyone cried.

This was my hardest stream.

How much time is left?

What's going on?

What's happening? I'm so scared.

I couldn't breathe at that moment.

I'm in big trouble.

I'll keep doing burpees

until I get around 1,000 viewers.

I started to feel the pressure

when I saw that only two of us were left.

I need more viewers!

-Don't leave me, guys.

-Was that 14?

-The second half

-Please help me!

-will end in ten seconds.

-Don't leave me!

Oh my god.

Where's the Peru flag?

The second half is over.

Is it over?

Am I out? What's happening?

10TH, KEJIMIN, SURVIVED

11TH, DOCTOR WHO, ELIMINATED

KEJIMIN?

-Why did Doctor Who lose viewers?

-Really?

KEJIMIN turned the tables.

What?

10TH, KEJIMIN, SURVIVED

LAST COUNT: 885 VIEWERS

I only had 60 more viewers

than Doctor Who.

I'm in 15th place.

I'm the only remaining TikToker.

11TH, DOCTOR WHO, ELIMINATED

LAST COUNT: 821 VIEWERS

She had 885, and I had 821.

That's too bad.

I was unraveling toward the end.

I failed to show any interesting content,

and my stream became too simple.

I'm disappointed.

I have a newfound respect

for people who do live streams.

In addition to uploading content,

influencers can also do live streams

as a form of content.

I learned I hadn't explored that area

as much as I should have.

WETBOY

SHORT-FORM CREATOR

I actually haven't been able

to create content recently.

When my fans told me in the chat

that they missed me,

I almost teared up.

I was so happy to realize

that there were people out there

who missed my content.

It's been seven years

since I made my debut.

I had a lot of mixed feelings.

Early on in my career,

a lot of people looked down on me.

But now I'm on a Netflix show,

and I even had 500 viewers

watching my stream.

This all came to mind

all of a sudden

when the lights turned off.

As a drag queen, a q*eer,

and a g*y man,

I'm very proud as an influencer

for coming on here

and being confident about myself.

If you deny me, I will destroy you!

Survivors of Round 2,

congratulations.

Here is the ranking

of your worth after Round 2.

MyBoo is first.

MyBoo's worth is more than 70 million?

MyBoo is first.

I actually walked out

with Siajiwoo earlier.

I thought, "Wasn't she first?"

My worth is now 77.64 million won.

When I looked at the screen,

I couldn't believe my eyes.

I rose to third place. I'm sorry, GATO.

Thank you for that.

The VIPs of Round 2

are MyBoo with the highest worth,

and KEJIMIN with the second highest worth.

Doesn't third place get to be VIP too?

Third place is VIP too, isn't it?

Here is your mission for Round 3.

-This is so important.

-This is k*lling me!

-Please, no short-form videos.

-In Round 3,

you will be judged on your ability

-to draw people's attention.

-Baiting?

You will create a photo

for your Instagram feed.

Oh my god! So it's Instagram!

-No! I'm doomed.

-I'm doomed.

Photos?

We all thought

it would be short-form videos.

It's hard to get a lot of likes

through photos these days.

This will probably be

a more difficult challenge.

We're not making videos?

This time it's photos?

This isn't ideal.

As soon as we saw the mission,

I could hear the male influencers

let out a loud groan.

As someone who does cosplay

and edits photos myself,

I'm confident I can do well.

I feel like the male influencers

are at a disadvantage for this round

since they don't really

have anything to show.

I think this round is made for the women

like me.

THE INFLUENCER

ROUND 3

15 SURVIVORS LEF

-What's that?

-That looks like a claw machine.

-What's that?

-Oh my.

-What is this?

-What?

What?

-Do we get in that thing?

-What's that?

Is something going to drop?

Are we getting in there

to have photos taken?

Are we getting locked in there?

Is it one of those things

where the box fills up with water?

-No way!

-And you have to endure it for 19 minutes.

There could be c*ck too.

I think we get in there

and get our photos taken.

Then I wouldn't have worn this outfit.

I think we're voting for each other.

Maybe we'll have to

change our outfits and take photos

within a certain time limit.

I don't know what to expect.

I really don't.

I'm so curious.

We welcome the 15 influencers

who made it to Round 3 of The Influencer.

Let's go!

In Round 3,

only eight of you will survive

and advance to the next round.

-That's half of us.

-Half are going home.

In Round 3,

you will get in pairs for a team match.

-Pairs?

-A team match?

Jeez.

Round 3 is about photos.

You can't downplay how powerful

the female influencers are in that area.

It'll be centered on the women.

It would be strategic

to focus on the women.

Before the round begins,

an auction will be held

to determine the teams.

I never imagined

that I'd be in a human auction.

We're spending this money!

This is what it's for!

It's finally time to make use of my worth.

It's time to fight.

They're making us fight with our worth.

And money is always a sensitive issue.

It's going to get intense.

Everyone's fortune says

that they'll get pretty emotional.

As such,

influencers must enter the auction cube,

starting with the influencer

with the lowest worth.

15TH, DOHWADORE

As the first influencer to be auctioned,

I felt a lot of pressure.

This is so sad. I'm second.

14TH, JUICE SEYEON

The fact that I could be sold

and bought by others felt so

12TH, JANG KEUN-SUK

I didn't want to go up.

I had no idea what I would have to do.

It felt a bit brutal.

11TH, JUNWOO

It's brutal,

but that's how it's supposed to be.

8TH, PANIBOTTLE

Influencers who wish to team up

with the influencer in the auction cube

may use their worth

to participate in the bidding.

-This is so unexpected.

-The influencer

who submits the highest bid

will win the influencer

in the auction cube.

What was unexpected

was that the buyers

and sellers in this auction

were kind of predetermined.

If no one bids for an influencer,

that influencer would fail in bidding

and must wait their turn

-to enter the auction cube again.

-We might not get chosen?

The influencer who does not get chosen

until the end

will be eliminated.

-I knew it!

-Oh my goodness.

-This is crazy.

-This is mean.

That's so brutal.

This is it.

The influencer

with the least worth is Dohwadore.

15TH, DOHWADORE

FORTUNE TELLING YOUTUBER

Please enter the auction cube.

This is so brutal.

Man, this is crazy.

I don't like this.

Oh dear. It must feel so weird.

I really don't like this.

This is so intense.

Dohwadore isn't someone

who uses himself to create content.

He's someone who needs video and audio.

It didn't seem like he knew a lot

about crafting Instagram feeds.

I felt that Dohwadore

was in the most precarious position.

Can you hear us, Dohwadore?

I guess he can.

I just wanted to get out.

I hated feeling like an animal in a cage.

And I had to get up there first.

If you buy someone,

you don't have to go in there.

-Am I right?

-That's right. You're set.

We will now begin the first bidding.

Let's do this.

This influencer

began at 60th place in worth.

As a powerhouse contestant,

Dohwadore made it to the final 15.

The starting bid will be set

at one-third of his worth,

2,570,000 won.

If you would like to submit a bid,

raise your hand and state your price.

We will now begin the bid for Dohwadore.

I hoped someone would buy me.

I'm really bad at advertising myself.

Are any of the women interested?

I think a male-female pair

would look good for photos.

You're right, but

Some people

could find my content difficult.

So I knew they'd be hesitating.

That's why I decided to lock in

and do my best to increase my chances

of moving on to the next round.

I had a feeling

that Round 3 would be a team match.

-Don't look at me.

-What I'm trying to say here

is that I have the lowest worth among us

as you can see,

which proves how good I had to be

to make it here.

If you choose to join me

I was so desperate for this

that I even bleached my hair.

Maybe you should bribe us.

I promise you

I'll have us move on to Round 4.

The starting bid is 2,570,000 won.

-Are there any bids?

-Oh dear.

Wait a minute.

-This is so sad.

-The bidding will end in ten seconds.

I'm scared I'll end up like him.

But considering MyBoo's worth,

someone will have to buy Dohwadore.

What about you, MyBoo?

-We can't buy MyBoo.

-Will you buy him?

I'm so sorry.

He kept making eye contact with me,

asking me to buy him.

And I felt so bad,

so I kept saying sorry.

She was very kind.

We also share

the same Chinese zodiac sign.

Dohwadore,

as no one wanted to buy you,

your bidding has failed.

-Oh my god.

-I'm next.

So this is what it's like.

NO BID FOR DOHWADORE

I'm so scared.

The lights turned red.

Even if I did get eliminated,

I didn't want to get eliminated like that.

I think I might've cried

if that happened to me.

We live in a cruel world.

Well, what can I do?

I just started to strategize again.

But the important thing is,

Juice Seyeon's up next.

-She's a hot item.

-I don't think so.

She's amazing.

I need to buy her.

The next influencer

is a master of flirting

who wants to make the world her stage.

-"Master of flirting"?

-Juice Seyeon.

14TH, JUICE SEYEON

AFREECATV STREAMER

She's going to be a hot item.

I knew that Juice Seyeon would have

a definite advantage in this round.

She has the good looks which I lack.

She's pretty, so it's obvious

how popular she'll be.

I think I look like someone

who would be good with photos,

so I was hoping

at least one person would bid for me.

STARTING BID

2,620,000 WON

Five million.

Six million.

That high already?

This is crazy.

I bid 6.5 million won!

-Stay out of this.

-Why should I?

There aren't many women we can bid for.

Don't take one from us.

But I want her too.

She's so popular.

Now's my chance to raise the bids.

Anyone else want to bid for me?

Not me.

Ten million.

PANI BOTTLE

10-MILLION-WON BID

How much? Ten million?

This is so crazy!

When we're going to be judged

by one photo,

I need someone impactful like her.

I knew my chances of buying her were low,

so I wanted to make sure

that whoever got her paid the price.

I don't have enough money.

You'll be left with only 4.5 million!

My strategy was

to make the others spend money,

regardless of who actually takes her.

I mean, she's the only person

worth buying here.

What do I do?

You should bid 10.1 million.

I'll bid 11 million.

-For real?

-Jin Yong-jin bids 11 million won.

Juice Seyeon is someone

who can cover for my flaws.

I can take photos,

but I'm not good at having my photo taken.

But I knew I could help her

plan the concept for the photo.

I'll bid 11.5 million.

I can't believe it.

-That's all of your money.

-It's okay.

You'll be left with 30,000 won

on this gamble.

I decided to go big

and try to recover my money later on.

This was all so crazy.

Junwoo bids 11.5 million won.

Are there any more bids?

Yong-jin?

You should buy her.

Just raise it by 100,000 won.

You might get eliminated.

Three,

-two, one.

-There's another round, right?

He bid everything with 30,000 won left.

Juice Seyeon has been sold to Junwoo

for the final price of 11.5 million won.

Congratulations.

The winning bid of 11.5 million won

will be transferred to Juice Seyeon.

I can't believe it. Do I get it right now?

-I'm rich!

-I think

this may be the only chance

to spend my money anyway.

You basically spent

ten million on star balloons.

Junwoo! Your money's right here.

Thanks for the money, Junwoo.

-Thank you.

-Congratulations.

-You're broke now.

-I have 30,000 won left.

-What a guy.

-I'm jealous.

So that's how it will look on screen.

Look at that.

You need to buy someone

if you think you won't be bought.

There's no point in saving money now.

You need to survive first.

The next influencer is BBOGUMI,

the risk-taker,

who moved on to Round 3

by shaving her brow.

-"Risk-taker"?

-She's the risk-taker.

Her current worth is 9.08 million.

13TH, BBOGUMI

STREAMER & YOUTUBER

-You got this.

-I can do this.

In the previous round,

I showed everyone my weird side.

So my goal this time was to show people

how pretty I could be.

You could go for a funny concept

with someone like BBOGUMI.

She actually shaved her brow.

I'm fully willing to team up

with someone like her.

She sacrificed herself the most.

There's no doubt she'd do her best.

Please buy me!

Please buy me!

Come on, buy me!

I'm a girl too!

BBOGUMI

3,020,000

It felt so good

to be the center of attention

standing in that cube.

I kind of felt like a celebrity.

I'll bid 3.52 million won.

-How much?

-I bid 3.52 million.

Go higher!

Raise your bids!

Kick, drum, bass.

Kick, drum, bass.

Kick, kick.

Congratulations, PaniBottle.

You got a pretty cheap deal.

A cheap deal?

Why is no one else bidding?

I initially thought BBOGUMI

was worth bidding for,

but I started having doubts.

Come on, buy me already!

I won't let you down!

Could you buy me, Eun-ji?

-Eun-ji!

-Why me?

I need to be with a pretty girl!

-She needs a pretty girl.

-A pretty girl.

The current bid is 3.52 million won.

Are there any more bids?

-Should I go for it?

-The bidding will end

in three seconds.

Three, two, one.

-I'll bid 4.22 million won!

-There you go!

Yes!

I'll raise it to 4.52 million.

Let's go!

Go travel or something!

What are you doing?

That's funny.

I bid 4.62 million won.

This isn't good.

My plan was to get BBOGUMI no matter what,

even if I had to go all in.

I'll bid 5.02 million.

-You win.

-He's going for it.

-He's all out.

-I can't outbid you.

Why can't you?

Young people these days are fearless.

BBOGUMI has been sold to PaniBottle

for the final price of 5.02 million won.

Thank you.

Don't worry, Keun-suk.

-You're the hottest item here.

-I'm getting worried.

Would anyone bid for me?

As someone who barely survived each round,

I assumed the other influencers

wouldn't trust me

and end up not bidding for me.

That made me feel a bit tense.

The next influencer's survival

has been more dramatic than any TV show.

Next up is Jang Keun-suk.

-Let's go!

-What an introduction.

Keun-suk is next up.

"More dramatic than any TV show."

-He's a really hot item.

-This is a big one.

12TH, JANG KEUN-SUK

ACTOR

Jang Keun-suk is first on my list.

He's a celebrity with a lot of followers.

The vibe that comes

with age and experience

can't be overlooked.

JANG KEUN-SUK

3,770,000

We will now begin

the bid for Jang Keun-suk.

I'll bid 3.87 million won.

I'll raise that to four million.

He's in high demand.

I'll bid 4.1 million.

I'll do 4.5 million.

This feels so strange.

This reminded me

of when I first started acting,

back when I was trying to show

that I was ready for anything.

I remembered my past auditions

being judged by adults.

CURRENT BID

4.5 MILLION WON

How high will you go?

Me?

Whatever it takes for me to get him.

Really?

I'll bid six million won.

JIN YONG-JIN

6-MILLION-WON BID

If you're going to team up with a guy,

-Keun-suk's the best choice.

-That's right.

Why aren't you bidding higher?

-What?

-I thought you wanted him.

-Well

-Why won't you outbid?

It's the nature of being an influencer

to have to be chosen by others.

I'm worth six million?

I think I started to feel

desperate at that moment.

This is your chance to have me!

If I buy you,

will you appear on my YouTube channel?

I'll do whatever you want.

Will you act for my show?

I'll do things for you outside this show.

I'll bid eight million!

PYO EUN-JI

8-MILLION-WON-BID

Pyo Eun-ji made a bid.

I'm actually a huge fan of Jang Keun-suk.

I would be so lucky

if I got to pair up with him.

I'd be happy even if I get eliminated.

Ten million!

Ten million?

It's only ten million won.

Come on, go higher.

I'll raise it to 11 million.

-I'll go with 12 million.

-Then I'll bid 12

I bid 12.5 million.

I'm definitely worth that much.

Not bad.

Pyo Eun-ji bids 12.5 million won.

I don't have enough to go higher.

CURRENT BID

12.5 MILLION WON

I can't top that.

The bidding will end in three seconds.

Three, two, one.

Jang Keun-suk has been sold to Pyo Eun-ji

for the final price of 12.5 million.

I was disappointed and annoyed

about missing out on Jang Keun-suk.

Damn it.

The winning bid of 12.5 million won

will be transferred to Jang Keun-suk.

I'm satisfied.

I knew I would be this expensive!

This boosts my confidence!

He's worth 23 million won now.

Thank you.

I bought the Prince of Asia

for 12.5 million.

Thank you.

I feel pretty good.

I'm good now.

I have the confidence

to go against anyone now.

I'd like to use my VIP benefit.

I'd like to use my VIP benefit.

What did you say?

What?

-What?

-What was that?

What's the benefit?

MyBoo has chosen to use her VIP benefit.
