Gender Reversed Geum Taeyang - Chapter 57

Chapter 57 – The Married Woman President

Beautiful women can be found if you look for them, and there’s no reason handsome men can’t be found either.

However, since men relatively spend less time on grooming, people say that handsome men are much rarer than beautiful women.

They say handsome men are at the top of the food chain.

This logic wasn’t much different in the reversed world.

Only the genders were switched. And this didn’t apply to one blonde male.

Ari remained an object of admiration even at university.

Celebrity-level looks and figure, outstanding intellect even at Korea University’s Business Department, known as Korea’s best, a uniquely mature personality, and witty speech to boot.

Even after completing military service and not returning to school, instead starting broadcasting.

She was still considered the most famous person in the department.

“Wow… how can someone look like that?”

“Her boyfriend must be so happy…”

“When I saw the photo last time, Ari seemed too good for him.”

So it was natural that Ari drew attention when she came to a drinking gathering of over ten people after a long time.

Everyone thought the same thing. That Ari had changed a lot.

Expressions they’d never seen before, occasional swear words, clothes less neat than usual, and hastily tied hair from rushing out.

While they felt something odd about these behaviors that the previous Ari would never have shown, everyone decided to let it slide.

The women liked that Ari had become easier to approach, and the men found these new elements more attractive.

The male students were just burning with love, captivated by this contrast to her usual self.

Those who knew Junhyuk’s face were especially intense. They thought they had enough competitiveness in looks and academic background. Not knowing that the competition had already changed.

Ari herself hadn’t noticed, and even if she did, it would only make her feel bad.

The already much-changed Ari was unknowingly enchanting numerous men.

Men’s hopeless crushes were beginning.

###

It’s suspicious. The viewers are increasing at a suspicious rate.

Is this the power of clout?

Not long after the collaboration with Ari, I’ve already achieved an average of 1,500 viewers.

Most of these incoming viewers are people who watch Ari’s broadcasts, and my broadcast time overlaps with Ari’s.

Fortunately, Ari’s broadcasts have been growing rapidly lately too, but… still, it’s a situation where I feel guilty.

But… since Ari just congratulated me, I guess I should accept it too.

Anyway, it’s perfect timing to start NewTube. No, I should say it’s rather late.

In the past, I planned to create a channel slowly as the live broadcast grew… but who could predict this growth rate?

I’ve been dropping hints about NewTube to viewers these past few days. The more interest there is, the more it helps me.

Also, the biggest obstacle I thought of, the editor problem, has been resolved by getting help from Ari’s editor, so I don’t need to worry about that for now.

At this point, it’s almost too much support even from my position as the recipient, but when I think of Ari’s incredibly happy expression, it would be odd not to accept…

What’s left now is content. Videos to upload to my channel.

Of course, content involving traveling around with Ari is planned, but there’s still some time until the scheduled date, and above all, that’s just one of the channel’s contents.

While my live broadcasts and gameplay will be the basics, I need to come up with other content myself.

Hmm.

Using a bit of big data, that is. It’s the tech age, isn’t it. Our human robots will help.

“So… got any good ideas?”

-As if we’d have anything like that lol

-Let’s do pool party ㄱ

-100K subscriber Q&A?

-100K lmao kekeke

-Please do a lookbook content

Is this why we need to critically evaluate information? There’s not a single sensible answer.

“Tsk… how can you come to watch without preparing such things? You lack the basics, the basics.”

-?

-?

-?

Conflict!

It means scolding them harshly.

I… scolded them moderately and leaned back in my chair.

The notebook spread on the desk is filled with all sorts of ideas, with X marks drawn over them.

A devastating brainstorming session.

-Wouldn’t it be better to just keep exploring NewTube?

-Last time doing that…por….hud…

-Ah

“Ah.”

-Ah

-Ah

-‘That incident’

“I’ll give you 10 seconds. If no content ideas come up, it’s a permanent ban. 10…, 1.”

-lololol

-Seizure button lolol

-Oh shit wait pleaㅐㅣ;ㅏ/ㅓㅑ*¹

└(Has been removed from chat.)

Of course, it wasn’t a permanent ban, but. Everyone witnessed his… her tragic end.

“What… stirring up trouble over nothing. Really scary…”

-???

-Laugh, everyone

-^^7^^7

Ignoring the cute incident.

NewTube exploration is a pretty good idea.

I’ve been browsing NewTube in my spare time too, but watching with viewers feels different. Like last time.

Also… good for easily making broadcast content…

-Let’s go to Han Ga-in’s NewTube, she has tons of content

-But isn’t it wrong to just use someone else’s content?

-It’s borrowing lol

-Content ntr lol

-Geum Taeyang always steals weird things lolol

Han Ga-in.

A streamer who’s been maintaining TwitchyTV’s highest value from past to present.

If asked about her broadcast characteristics… it would be the diversity of content.

You could say she’s the perfect target for me to ‘borrow’ content from.

“It’s just for ‘reference’. Who would plagiarize content? You want to get banned too?”

-Of course what our host does is always right ^^7

-Oh yes… it’s just reference…

-Our Taeyang can do whatever he wants ^^7

1,500 people agreed that this behavior is fine.

Well, joking aside, I really just want to use it for reference. Just taking a quick look?

Besides personal conscience and business ethics…

If I get on the wrong side of Han Ga-in, who’s like a huge corporation in both NewTube and live streaming, I probably won’t even have bones left to collect.

My survival after messing with Ari when I was just a small-time broadcaster was quite lucky, and I can’t guarantee things would work out the same way again.

In the first place, I’m not the type to seek such risks. I don’t want to touch anything that might cause problems.

I searched for Han Ga-in in the NewTube search bar.

Given it’s NewTube using real names, there might be people with the same name, but this popular NewTuber occupies the top of the search list.

The most visible popular video when entering the channel.

Uploaded a few months ago with about 3 million views.

The title is… ‘Newlywed couple vlog’.

A smile forms at the corners of my mouth. A very lewd-looking smile.

Why are you doing this again? What sin did I commit?

While my broadcast viewers probably don’t care anymore, my appearance still easily leads to unintended misunderstandings.

With this face and the nickname Geum Taeyang, watching newlyweds while giggling wouldn’t usually receive good reactions.

I quickly and naturally raised my left hand to cover my mouth, but… my right hand clicked that video on its own.

The video is playing but my body won’t listen.

I want to smile warmly at the lovely couple’s appearance, but only one corner of my mouth is curling up.

The hand that was covering my mouth has long since dropped.

“Heh… hehehe…”

-What’s wrong with him ‘shiver’

-Is it okay to act like this toward Han Ga-in ‘chills’

“No… just, you know, seeing them get along makes me happy too.”

No, I’m not particularly happy.

“I’d like to meet her in person sometime… She is my senior in broadcasting after all.”

No, I don’t particularly want to meet her.

My expression visible through the webcam contained a dimension of creepiness different from when I’m acting.

Is this natural? I understand why the chat’s reactions are peculiar.

Not a pleasant situation at all.

Meanwhile, the video continues to play.

You can see the loving couple being affectionate. They appear holding hands and playing around.

Although the husband’s face isn’t shown, just Han Ga-in’s expression shows how happy they are now.

-Her husband was so sweet back then

-Pong*¹…ga-in…lolol

-Here we go again with the Pong-ga-in stuff

-Always with the unfair criticism

-Honestly it’s not just unfair criticism lol

Mountains beyond mountains.

Just as I finally regained control of my body and tried to turn off the video, the chat went wild.

Something always seems to go wrong whenever we explore NewTube. Is it cursed?

“What’s wrong now? What’s the problem this time?”

-There were rumors about trouble with her husband before, it’s just haters so let’s ignore it

-But honestly it’s reasonable suspicion lol fr

Damn. This… is the kind of controversy that absolutely shouldn’t be stirred up.

Now that things are going well and I’ve become a medium-sized channel, touching unnecessary problems will only bring backlash.

I absolutely must not laugh now. Even a normal smile.

I absolutely must not react. Just saying “I see” and moving on is the right approach.

I can’t leave this chat as is. I need to prepare to ban people.

It’s common sense.

Hmm.

However.

To Geum Taeyang’s instinct that had taken control of my body again.

It seems such common sense didn’t exist.

My eyes curve upward. Saliva pools in my mouth. I stick out my tongue and slowly lick my lips.

“Sssup… Really? Well… stop with the weird chat for now. If you don’t want to get fucked.”

Perhaps even instinct disliked catastrophes beyond control. At least I avoided the worst.

While I try to minimize swearing during broadcasts usually, this much is acceptable.

The relief was short-lived. The chat’s atmosphere starts flowing in a strange direction.

The “^^7” chats that were flooding in gradually disappear. The chat’s energy starts to decrease.

-Host… why that expression?

-Shit… feels really weird…

-Ugh…..

White teeth gleam between slightly parted lips following the raised corners of my mouth.

There’s a somewhat slimy look in my eyes.

Geum Taeyang is smiling while looking at the screen.

No.

Hmm.

Why are you really doing this to me?

…

Since I tend to be lucky with broadcast-related things, maybe this can end well?

…

Please.

T.N. 1.In Korean internet culture, when someone types with random Korean consonants and vowels (ㅐㅣ;ㅏ/ㅓㅑ) like this, it usually indicates that they were cut off mid-sentence or typing in panic.

2. It’s a word play, they are calling her empty headed or stupid here. (For being a cuck I guess)
