Gender Reversed Geum Taeyang - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 – Clip Exporting

If you clip the highlight parts you think are from the broadcast, you can share them through video donations to other streamers’ broadcasts, which is called exporting.

If the streamer hasn’t set any particular rules, viewers can bring in all sorts of videos through the video donation system, so sometimes the atmosphere becomes too chaotic and other times everyone enjoys the videos together.

But humans inherently tend to remember bad situations more vividly. There could be an unfortunate situation where your own clip gets exported and ruins the atmosphere of another broadcast, damaging your own image.

That’s why many streamers put a rule prohibiting clip exports.

Of course, I’m a lewd streamer who needs promotion somehow, so I have no reason to set such a rule.

But… should I have just banned promotion and everything else?

Seeing this chaotic situation makes me think that.

[OppaNadoSuexport donated 5,000 won!]

This is already the third video donation today.
I really don’t want to play it, I don’t want to react to it, but I have no choice.

When I play the donated video, it shows a female streamer I don’t know. I’ve seen her face around while analyzing the industry, but never watched her broadcast.

In the top left corner of that streamer’s broadcast screen, a clip of me doing a grand jeté is playing.

Someone exported my clip.

“Oohh!! Hey, won’t this get cut? Wow, look at those back muscles, crazy.”

-Is it okay to play this kind of thing?
-Who is this dickhead
-This won’t get cut lol
-Lololol

Of course, I do want to become famous…

But at the time that clip was taken, I didn’t feel embarrassed at all. The immediate situation was just being glad my broadcast didn’t get cut, and even if a few dozen people saw my muscles, it didn’t psychologically impact me since I’m not a gay man.

But as it started getting exported, my feelings changed.

I’m still not that embarrassed about being undressed, but the thought of complete strangers who don’t even watch my broadcast getting excited over my body feels kind of ambiguous. At least, it’s not a good feeling.

[ExportVideoDonator donated 5,000 won!]

“Ah jeez, why again.”

-Lololol
-Lololol
-Are we embarrassing you, oppa?
-We’re not embarrassed lol

“Hah. Thanks ExportVideoDonator for the 5,000 won donation.”

This time it’s a male streamer I don’t know.

“Wow, I’ve never seen someone do a grand jeté successfully. What’s this guy’s nickname? His body is insane. How did he get in such good shape?”

-Who is he really
-?
-I don’t know
-I don’t know
-Let’s try doing that too

I don’t know why, but I feel weird even when complimented.

“…Is this a public execution?”

-Lolololol
-Lololol
-The tragedy of the lewd broadcast
-The one who sent the video should tell us lol
-I was too busy sending videos to respond lol
-Lolololol

The clip exporting has already devolved into a fad. At this point, my mind goes numb.

With another recently uploaded video, that’s now the 5th export video.

“Isn’t this going too far? What are you trying to do by making such a mess? You must be sick of it by now, so let’s end it here guys…”

-Sick of it?
-?
-Hehe!!
-Not at all
-It’s fun every moment
-It feels new every time

“Argh. You guys are really crazy.”

-Hehe!
-Hehe!!

Maybe it’s because of the nature of the community users flooding in today, but I can’t seem to control them.

The viewer count is visibly increasing, so I need to row quickly, but this is a difficult situation.

The other streamers’ reactions aren’t bad, and the viewers are all enjoying it together, so I don’t have a reason to stop it.

Hmm.

Thinking about it again, I should have banned it even if it soured public opinion.

Everyone except me was enjoying it when the sixth video donation came in and ended the situation.

[SorryItSeemsIDickedUpOppa donated 10,000 won!]

“What, he ‘dicked up’ again?”

I naively assumed it would be similar to the content of the previous videos, of course.

The video showed a woman broadcasting.

Her jet black hair seemed to have never been dyed, her dark eyes had a bluish tint, she had long hair of a moderate length.

Her distinct features and neat attire clearly showed her personality…

And her slightly furrowed brow made it clear her mood wasn’t good right now.

“Tsk. I don’t know what streamer this is… please don’t send clips of people I don’t know.”

‘It seems I dicked up’

The chat box in the video and the one on my screen both froze abruptly.

###

Seol Ari, 23 years old. Broadcasting nickname ‘Lete’.

If one word could describe her life, it would be ‘exemplary’.

She was always popular with the opposite sex due to her thorough self-management, and popular with the same sex as well since she enjoyed sports and games and was highly skilled at them.

She was always focused in class, played after her work was done, enjoying her life without being excessive or lacking.

She didn’t hesitate to help people in difficult situations and put in all efforts to resolve wrongdoings she saw.

Perhaps due to her thoroughgoing nature, she continued on the elite course to enter the business administration department of Korea’s top university.

Everyone looked up to her, but didn’t have the courage to follow the life she lived.

The fact that the broadcast she started as a hobby after being discharged from the military gained over 7,000 regular viewers was likely also influenced by her characteristically lively yet thorough personality.

Ari disliked evil people from a young age.

People who harmed others for no reason and derived pleasure from it. People who didn’t seem to seriously contemplate their lives at all and just violently enjoyed the present. People who were so arrogant about themselves.

The so-called “troublemakers” – Ari really disliked them.

So she didn’t like that person.

His faded blonde hair that seemed to have been dyed a long time ago. His appearance was far from what could be called self-management.

The tanning done for some unfathomable reason. For a man to get a tan like that, was he advertising himself as someone who recklessly uses his body?

And what’s with the piercing, he surely must have a tattoo somewhere on his body too.

Even for Ari, who had dealt with all kinds of troublemakers, this was the first time she’d seen someone look so much like one.

Just look at that ferocious gaze. It seemed to clearly show what kind of life he had lived.

Ari really liked the internet broadcasting industry. It felt like an easy, enjoyable job, but there were people competing and growing while putting in unseen efforts.

She enjoyed making friends with them, growing together, and broadcasting. To the point where she even delayed re-enrolling in university because of broadcasting.

But there were also those people. Living only for themselves, harming others, feeling the broadcasters were just easily making money, thinking they could do it easily too and jumping into the industry.

Whenever Ari saw people like that, it felt like she and her fellow broadcasters were being disrespected.

‘You should be rewarded proportional to the effort put in.’

‘If you do bad things, you should be punished.’

It felt like her beliefs were being denied.

So her face scrunched up.

She couldn’t manage her expression.

Their reactions of lifting up their clothes were disgusting.

“Tsk. I don’t know what streamer this is… please don’t send clips of people I don’t know.”

Although there were no particular rules regarding video donations until now, the sudden reaction caught the viewers off guard, but since they knew Ari’s personality to some extent, they quickly grasped the situation.

Ari also knew she had made a mistake, but she didn’t regret it. She had no intention of apologizing either.

The situation was settled reasonably, and the broadcast continued.

The viewers were glad the awkward situation passed quickly, so they decided to forget what happened earlier.

“Yeah, so I’ll probably take a break next Sunday. Because of the orphanage volunteer content.”

Along with Ari’s mention of her broadcast schedule, it seemed like Geum Tae-yang was being forgotten from her broadcast.

###

“…So I told you not to send it.”

-Of course they sent it to Lete
-Crazy people…
-First time seeing Lete make that expression
-She really does make expressions like that

In an instant, the atmosphere in the chat froze over.
Not a single ‘lol’ could be seen from the many that were there before.

-Tae-yang oppa…
-Hang in there and loosen up
-I didn’t know she could look so stern
-Those who know Lete’s personality know
-She really hates troublemakers

How could a pro person click their tongue and speak that way!

Although I resent this Lete person, now is not the time for that.
There are still 4 hours left until the end of the broadcast. This atmosphere cannot continue any longer.
I have to change the mood somehow. My face doesn’t look too bright either.

As disappointing as this situation is, this is broadcasting. I let out a sigh and refocused on the broadcast.

“Her nickname is Lete?”

-Yes
-Let’s just move on and ignore it
-These things happen sometimes

“But that’s not important right now. Damn, she’s really pretty.”

-?
-?
-?

“Sheesh. I’ve never seen a face like that in my life. That’s truly a gorgeous face.”

-Bro…my head is spinning…
-Lete is pretty though lololol
-Yeah she’s pretty, can’t be helped lololol
-Lololololol you crazy bastard lololol

Lete, since you made such a mess, can I at least promote your name? Or should I say face?

I drank some water and licked my lips with my tongue.

“Oioioi! What a beauty! Unbelievable~”

-That’s why Lete reacted like that
-No wonder she hated it lol
-The mood is super awkward now
-This guy is really crazy lol

The atmosphere is heating up again!

Then a chat came up:

-Lete has a boyfriend you crazy f*cker lololol

“…? She has…a boyfriend?”

-?
-?
-?

Whoa, that was a close one.

No matter what, for an outsider guy to say a taken woman is pretty and stuff is crossing the line.

Even if I became Geum Tae-yang, I’m not interested in NTR stuff or anything.

It’s better if I just laugh it off and start a game.

The mood getting bad for a bit is unavoidable, but I can’t cause any controversy.

I’m Seong Yu-han, a sweet gentleman! Even if I have a bad impression of this Lete person, I know my limits!

But… I can’t control my expression.

This feeling is… yeah, that’s it. When Geum Tae-yang’s instincts overpower his reason.

‘I dicked up!’

I really dicked up. To emphasize it, I epically dicked up.

I desperately try to change my expression but to no avail. If I fail this, isn’t it a confirmed downfall?

-Yes, she’s dating her childhood friend
-For real, she has it all
-So jealous damn

“Childhood…friend?”

Ah. I can’t anymore.

I resent this body. Really.

One side of my mouth starts twisting up into a sneer. The dull light in my eyes is replaced by a devious glint. Lust fills my fierce gaze.

A vile laugh forces its way out of my mouth.

“Heh… She has… a boyfriend?”
